The question of who sent the prince to Jinling is self-evident.
The current emperor is a fierce man who has led troops since he was a child and fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Everyone in the world respects him as a god.
The prince was on an errand under the orders of the emperor, and to shirk him was to shirk the emperor. If the emperor were to anger the Jinling officialdom, he would probably have to bury several acres of land.
You must know that just a month ago, due to poor defense, Japanese pirates harassed Xiaoling, and dozens of officers from the Jinling Dusi were killed.
In the main hall at this moment, the chief envoy Zheng Xianlin was wiping the sweat from his forehead, while the inspector He Gujin straightened his collar.
Both of them look like this, and the other local officials are not much better.
In the main hall, a group of censors from the Weidu Procuratorate maintained the most basic calm at this moment.
"My dad, hehe, he is a cruel person"
"Don't talk about you, even if I make the slightest mistake, I will be beaten to death"
p>
"If my mother hadn't stopped him many times, I would have been beaten to death by him long ago." Zhu Jinghong looked frightened.
He was definitely not pretending. The Emperor's father's gloomy face in his memory made his heart tremble every time he thought about it.
The officials present absolutely believed what Zhu Jinghong said. Everyone in the world knew about His Majesty the Emperor's ruthlessness.
Slowly walking down the steps, Zhu Jinghong calmed his trembling heart, and then said, "Everyone, even if it is for your own sake, you must carefully consider what to do."
" Within the time limit, all prefectures and counties must sort out their accounts."
"When the time limit is up, even if there is a discrepancy between the accounts and the inventory, they must be reported truthfully as evidence for the overall planning and dispatch of the war against Japanese invaders."
"This crime will be strictly supervised by the imperial censor, and the Jin Yiwei will also secretly assist. Anyone who conceals and falsifies military law will engage in it."
To put it simply, regardless of whether there is embezzlement or corruption, Zhu Jinghong only needs to actual data.
As for how to arrange the next step, he had already drafted it yesterday and could only talk about it together now.
After all, he was only fifteen years old. His performance just now made the officials raise their evaluation again, and they would never dare to look down on him again in the future.
When he reached the threshold of the hall, Zhu Jinghong turned around, glanced at the officials, and asked in a deep voice, "I have finished speaking, does any of you have any objections?"
Who has any objections? Who dares to have objections? Even the emperor has been moved out. Even if I don't give you Zhu Jinghong face, I must give the emperor face.
"Why don't you say anything? I don't have any objections," Zhu Jinghong asked coldly.
Everyone looked at each other, but still no one spoke.
Whoever agrees first at this time may become a public enemy. For the sake of safety, it is naturally better to remain silent.
"Who is the chief official of the Third Department? It's time to come out and express your position now"
After being pointed out by Zhu Jinghong, as the nominal head of the officials, Zheng Xianlin, the chief envoy, had no choice but to He replied, "I will do my best to sort out the money, food, and military supplies."
"Please rest assured, Thirteenth Master," He Gujin added.
As for Zhao Xuyan, the censor of the patrol capital, he was still angry after being scolded by Zhu Jinghong, but he just nodded slightly.
"I heard you clearly. There are only fifteen days. By May 30th, if you can't do it well, you can come and apologize yourself."
"Do you understand?"
< p>"I understand," everyone replied helplessly."Just understand, time is running out, you all should go your own way, let's break up"
This will end the discussion
Zhu Jingyuan was anxious before When discussing matters, they will understand things with reason and move them with emotion, and long speeches will make people sleepy.
It was refreshing for everyone to be so resolute as Zhu Jinghong.
At this moment, most people were anxious. Since Zhu Jinghong announced that the meeting was over, these people left one after another.
Only the chief envoy Zheng Xianlin and other senior officials proposed to visit the prince to show their duty as ministers.
Whether they are sincere or not, it is their duty for these people to visit the prince, and Zhu Jinghong has no right to object.
Everyone left one after another, but Zhu Jinghong felt that he was still unfinished. He stood in the hall and looked at the throne in front of him.
Just when I was full of fantasy, I heard footsteps behind me.
"Chen Lin Ruhai, pay homage to the Thirteenth Master"
Who is Lin Ruhai and that Lin Ruhai?
Hearing this name, Zhu Jinghong thought of a lot in an instant, and then turned around and looked at outside the door.
Looking up and down at the man in front of him, Zhu Jinghong felt that the man he came was elegant and upright, which was completely different from ordinary officials.
At this moment, he has basically determined who the other party is.
"Lin Ruhai, you are the salt censor of Jinling," Zhu Jinghong asked calmly.
His current status as a time traveler makes him feel confident no matter who he meets, and he can naturally treat them calmly at this moment.
"Exactly"
"You didn't go to see the emperor, why did you turn back in a hurry?" Zhu Jinghong looked confused.
After coughing twice, Lin Ruhai replied, "Back to the Thirteenth Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to rest. Gao Xueshi did not allow the ministers to meet him."
Of course Gao Shuyan would not allow them to meet him. , he was afraid that Zheng Xianlin and others would complain, and Zhu Jingyuan would be soft-hearted and nothing would happen.
"You came to see me specially for something."
"Three days ago, the prince asked me to raise 300,000 yuan for military pay. Today, I came to deliver the mission, but I couldn't meet the prince. I could only Report to the Thirteenth Master first." When Lin Ruhai replied, there was a confident smile on his face.
Most of the people in the main hall were trembling with fear after being threatened, but he remained calm from the beginning to the end.
After hearing that Lin Ruhai had raised three hundred thousand taels of silver in three days, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but re-examine the person in front of him.
No wonder this man was able to gain promotions all the way and worked as the Salt Patrol Censor for such a long time. He really had a knack for making money.
Zhu Jinghong knew very well that "it's so big" in the capital.For an emperor who "likes success", officials who can make money are so valuable.
It's a pity that Mr. Lin is not in good health. Otherwise, when he waits until he becomes the cabinet to become the prime minister, I'm afraid the four The big family is in another situation.
Sighing, Zhu Jinghong said, "With three hundred thousand taels of silver, Mr. Lin is really capable, much better than the losers in the hall just now."
"The Thirteenth Master is overly praised, I just did my duty." Lin Ruhai became more and more humble.
"If all the officials in the world did their duty, the world would be at peace. "
Lin Ruhai did not answer the call again, but once again refreshed his understanding of Zhu Jinghong. This person is indeed not as unlearned as rumored.
"Master Lin, you have to Take good care of yourself, there are too few officials like you in the Ming Dynasty."
Having said this, Zhu Jinghong immediately asked, "You are so weak, do you have caring people in the house to take care of the family affairs?" Difficulties"
Faced with this sudden concern, Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "I have loyal servants at home, and my life is safe."
As for things at home, Lin Ruhai couldn't even think about it. He felt sad, so he didn't continue talking.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's expression of sadness, Zhu Jinghong had no intention of asking further. "I will report the matter to the emperor. If you have nothing else to do, just go back."< /p>
"Yes"
After coughing a few more times and saluting Zhu Jinghong again, Lin Ruhai turned around and walked out.
"Zhang Lin"
"I'm here, please give me the Thirteenth Master's instructions." A guard next to him answered immediately. This person was Zhang Lin.
After signaling Zhang Lin to come over, Zhu Jinghong whispered, "Go. Check, what is the current situation in the house of this Salt Patrol Censor Lin, the more detailed the better."
For Zhang Lin, this task is very "unique", but when Zhu Jinghong said it, he didn't think so. Strange.
