Chapter 157

The night is getting darker and darker, and more and more domestic slaves appear in the capital. They carry boxes, and the boxes are full of white silver.

When they arrived at the palace gate, they dropped their boxes and quickly evacuated, as if they were afraid of being recognized and implicating the family behind them.

On the dark city wall, Tang Yu saw the mountains of gold and silver treasures piled up in front of the palace gate. He sighed with emotion: "These guys are really greedy to death! Looking at the mountains of silver, there are at least several.

One million taels, right?”

"There must be millions, but it's simply impossible to make them spit it out all at once!" Meng Shize said standing aside.

Tang Yu was secretly shocked and said: "Aren't these guys afraid of offending my father?"

"Afraid, of course I'm afraid!"

Meng Shize said meaningfully: "It's just that your Majesty gave them the opportunity, but some people took advantage of this opportunity. Your Majesty, think about it, your Majesty has not seen the corruption list, and your Majesty cannot see who is in front of the palace tonight."

After paying the money, let’s think about it from my perspective. If I don’t pay, who will know?”

"Good guy!" Tang Yu took a breath of air.

According to what Meng Shize said, there will definitely be many people taking advantage of the loophole tonight, and it will be almost impossible to collect 10 million taels of silver at once.

After a pause, Meng Shize continued: "Also, the more greedy these people are, the greater their expenses will be. Not to mention spitting out all of them, I feel that it is good for these people to spit out five to six million taels of silver!"

"So little? Doesn't it mean that the treasury's silver is not enough?" Tang Yu frowned.

He did not refute Meng Shize's words. After all, on the opening day of the mahjong parlor in Beijing, more than one million taels of membership cards were recharged. This group of powerful people spend a lot of money on weekdays. I am afraid that a large amount of the silver they embezzled in the past three years has been spent.

After going out, they couldn't collect tens of millions of taels of silver in just one day.

Meng Shize sighed with emotion: "This situation is already very ideal! We can only think of other solutions! Your Highness, it's getting late, go back to bed quickly!"

"Okay!" Tang Yu nodded.

Not long after, Meng Shize said angrily: "Your Highness, if you don't go back to the East Palace to sleep, why are you following me?"

"Lao Meng, judging from what you said, of course I want to go home!"

Tang Yu rolled his eyes and said: "Jin'er is still waiting for me at home! What if Jin'er doesn't go back and I can't sleep?"

"Hey, little bastard, you need a cut, don't you?" When Meng Shize heard this, his nose became angry.

Tang Yu said angrily: "Lao Meng, although you are my father-in-law, you can't stop me from sleeping with Jin'er, right? This means you are being unreasonable!"

"Little bastard, stop, don't run away if you have the guts!" Meng Shize was furious.

In an instant, the Imperial Guards in the palace saw another shocking scene. Prime Minister Meng Shize once again caught up with Prince Tang Yu, pushed Tang Yu to the ground and beat him severely.

Compared with during the day, Tang Yu was even worse this time. Meng Shize punched Tang Yu and blood spurted out from his nose.

I don't know how long it took, but Tang Yu got up from the ground with an ouch: "What the hell, who will say that Prime Minister Meng Shize is the head of the civil service in the future? I will be the first to be in a hurry with him. This old guy is pressing me down and beating me. He is so arrogant."

Damn, how can he be a civil servant?"

"Your Highness, you don't know something. When His Majesty launched the coup, the Prime Minister was the first to take the lead!" At this time, a member of the Royal Guards whispered.

Tang Yu:

Knowing that Meng Shize was the first to charge in the Tang Emperor's coup, Tang Yu was filled with emotion. The Tang Dynasty was worthy of its strong folk customs. Even a civilian official was so brave, let alone a military general.

This made Tang Yu couldn't help but think of the sage Confucius. Many people said that Confucius had no power to tie a chicken. Later, Tang Yu checked the books and learned that Confucius was nine feet six inches tall. After conversion, Confucius was over 1.9 meters tall.

The Shandong Han Dynasty.

Comparing it with Meng Shize again, Tang Yu's mood suddenly became much calmer.
