Du Guang just glanced at Tang Qing lightly and said: "If your Excellency did not hear clearly, then please listen carefully. Without His Majesty's imperial edict or the order of my commander, no one can think of the gold and silver on this ship."
move."
When Tang Qing heard this, he glared at Du Guang angrily and said, "Du Qianhu, you are so brave. I am speaking to you on behalf of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the imperial court. Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes?"
Seeing Tang Qing's threatening look, Du Guang couldn't help laughing. His face turned cold, and he stopped making excuses and sneered: "You really have such a loud tone, the court? You can't represent the court."
Du Guang said with a sneer: "Go away, if you dare to take advantage of this batch of money without His Majesty's will, then don't blame me for treating you as thieves and killing you on the spot."
Bao Qing and others on the shore were looking at the large ships on the river with expectant faces.
These large ships are loaded with gold and silver, amounting to millions of taels. Soon these gold and silver will enter the national treasury through their hands.
So what about Li Huan? It's not up to them to decide how to deal with the money.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement on the big ship not far away, and the word "Go" seemed to be vaguely heard.
The few people who were talking in low voices were suddenly stunned for a moment, and looked up at Du Guang and Tang Qing on the deck with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Bao Qing couldn't help but frown and said, "What's going on with Tang Qing? He's just making a handover with Du Guang. Why hasn't it been done in such a long time?"
At this time, an official next to him was stroking his beard, frowning slightly and said: "Servant Bao, I'm afraid things are a little troublesome."
As he was talking, he saw Tang Qing on the deck opening his mouth and about to say something. Suddenly Du Guang stepped forward, and a strong evil aura rushed towards Tang Qing. At the same time, he pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and said sternly.
The murderous intention only frightened Tang Qing into taking a step back.
The pale-faced Tang Qing was ashamed and angry. He stared at Du Guang and Du Guang's big hand on the handle of the knife. He flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily at Du Guang: "Bold Du Guang."
, you wait, you wait..."
It was obvious that Tang Qing was restrained. It was actually the murderous intention revealed in Du Guang that made him feel Du Guang's determination. If he continued to pester him, the other party would really dare to slash at him with a knife.
Tang Qing, who stepped down from the deck, had a hint of hatred in his eyes, and strode towards Bao Qing and others.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were also turned to Tang Qing. They were obviously curious about what Tang Qing said to Du Guang and why Tang Qing looked wrong.
Bao Qing frowned and looked at Tang Qing, who was approaching, and said, "Tang Qing, what's going on? Why haven't you completed the handover with Du Guang yet?"
Tang Qing's face was full of grievances, and he said tremblingly to Bao Qing: "Sir, sir, you have to make the decision for me. Du Guang, the Qianhu of the Imperial Guard, is so rude. I am so arrogant and angry."
I tried to explain it to him, but he actually refused to hand over the money on the ship to our household department, and said... and said..."
Hearing Tang Qing say that Du Guang refused to complete the handover with the household department, Bao Qing's face became very ugly and he said angrily: "What else did he say?"
Tang Qing gritted his teeth and said: "He also said that unless we can produce His Majesty's imperial edict or Li Huan's warrant, if we dare to take the money again, he will treat us as thieves..."
Before Tang Qing could finish his words, Bao Qing's whole body exploded and he roared angrily: "So bold, he is so bold. We represent the Ministry of Revenue and the imperial court, and he dares to refuse to hand over to us."
As he spoke, Bao Qing strode directly towards the horizontal plank not far away, and walked directly towards Du Guang along the horizontal plank between the shore and the ship.
Du Guang was not surprised at all by Bao Qing's arrival. Tang Qing was just a small official and was nothing in the court.
The person who came this time was obviously different. Although Du Guang did not dare to say that he knew all the officials, he knew the clothes of the officials. The person who came was the Minister of Hubu, a third-rank official above the court.
The flag officer standing next to Du Guang could not help but whisper to Du Guang: "Sir..."
Du Guang was naturally aware of his men's worries, shook his head slightly and whispered: "Don't worry, it's okay."
As he spoke, Bao Qing stepped onto the ship and shouted at Du Guang: "Bold Du Guang, do you know who we are?"
Du Guang said calmly: "I don't know."
Du Guang's words almost made Bao Qing angry to death. He didn't believe that Du Guang didn't know his identity. Even if he had never seen him, he must have recognized the official uniform he was wearing.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Du Baoqing shouted to Du Guang: "Okay, okay, since you don't know me, I will tell you that I am Bao Qing, the left servant of the Ministry of Revenue, and I have been ordered to come to receive your escort.
The money came back.”
Du Guang glanced at Bao Qing indifferently, stretched out his hand and said: "If there is any discrepancy between His Majesty's imperial edict or the order from my commander, I will immediately complete the handover with the Vice Minister. Otherwise, I will not be able to obey the order."
Hearing this, Bao Qing stared at Du Guang with wide eyes and said, "You...do you know what you are talking about?"
Du Guang just looked at Bao Qing indifferently.
Bao Qing suddenly shouted: "Here comes, prepare to transfer the money."
Obviously Bao Qing is preparing to take over Yinchuan by force.
Tang Qing, who was on the shore, listened to Bao Qing's instructions, and his eyes immediately showed joy. He said to several officials from the Ministry of Revenue and a group of expeditionary officers: "Did you hear that? Come on board with me and prepare to transfer the gold."
silver."
The eyes of the household officials immediately lit up, and they stepped on the board happily one by one and boarded the boat.
For them, transferring money to the treasury is a good job.
It can be said that every time local taxes are put into the treasury, they are able to benefit from it and have a full meal. It is obviously the same this time.
Even in order to win this opportunity, they had to go through a lot of connections to get this good job.
Several officials boarded the ship at an extremely fast speed, and behind them were the conscripted servants.
On the big ship, Du Guang listened to Bao Qing's instructions, raised his brows, and said with a fierce murderous intent in his eyes: "Shilang Bao, do you know what you are doing?"
Bao Qing heard this and sneered: "I also want to ask you, Du Qianhu, do you know what you are doing?"
If he, a dignified third-rank official, can't suppress a mere thousand households of Jin Yiwei, then how can he have the face to meet his colleagues.
You must know that many people in the court knew that he came to receive money today, and there were even many officials on the shore watching. If he was stopped by Du Guang like this, wouldn't he have to keep it to himself without losing face?
Tang Qing and several other officials from the Ministry of Revenue boarded the boat, saluted Bao Qing and said, "Sir, our people are here!"
Bao Qing nodded and said: "Get ready to take action!"
Tang Qing waved his hand excitedly and said: "Get ready to count the money."
Several officials from the Household Department came forward excitedly after hearing this, and naturally their eyes were cast on the big ship. The big boxes that were sealed with seals were all filled with white flowers and brilliant gold and silver.
Just when these officials were about to walk towards the boxes, they heard a loud shout: "Who dares? Without His Majesty's decree and without the warrant of my lord, you can't even think of taking advantage of these silver coins. If anyone dares to do it again,
If you take one step forward, I have the right to kill you on the spot."
Du Guang stared at these officials with murderous intent on his face.
Tang Qing and others were startled and looked towards Bao Qing subconsciously.
After hearing Du Guang's words, Bao Qing smiled angrily and said to Tang Qing and others: "What are you doing in a daze? Didn't you hear what I said? Why don't you do something?"
Tang Qing took a breath, glanced at Du Guang and said, "My lord has an order to take over the silver ship..."
Several officials stepped forward again, but at this moment, they heard a choking sound, the Xiuchun sword was unsheathed, and then the sword flashed.
Tang Qing's eyes widened, and a wave of heat instantly sprayed in his face. Right in front of him, the official who had just taken a step was beheaded by Du Guang's knife.
Blood spurted out, and the bloody scene immediately stunned everyone.
The officer who had followed him onto the boat was so frightened that his face changed. He turned around and ran towards the shore as if he had seen a ghost. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Kill someone, Jin Yiwei has killed someone!"
With a pop, Tang Qing was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face turned pale, and he looked in disbelief at Du Guang, who was standing in front of them brandishing a knife, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Even Bao Qing was frightened by this scene and took a few steps back. He looked at Du Guang in horror, and then at the body of the household official who fell on the ground.
"You...how dare you!"
Bao Qing stared angrily at Du Guang, who was standing with a knife.
Du Guang's sword attack was so unexpected that Bao Qing never expected that Du Guang would do it right away.
After all, in Bao Qing's opinion, apart from Li Huan, the people in the Jinyiwei are still very easy to handle. Just like in the past, he, the dignified minister, even Shi Wenyi, the original commander of the Jinyiwei, was very polite when they met him.
Not to mention a mere thousand households.
But now Du Guang actually chopped off the heads of their household officials in front of him. How could this not shock Bao Qing?
Du Guang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out!"
As Du Guang took action, the Jinyi guards stepped forward one by one, pulled out the Xiuchun knife from their waists, and directed Bao Qing. Tang Qing and others glared at Bao Qing. Looking at that posture, if they dared to step forward
If they take one step forward, the embroidered spring knife in their hands will definitely be chopped down at them.
"Madmen, what a bunch of madmen. Just wait, I will never spare you..."
Bao Qing was scared and angry, especially when Du Guang's eyes full of murderous intent fell on him. Bao Qing was scared out of his wits. He took a few steps back again, then turned around and left with harsh words.
He didn't dare to stay on the ship for a moment. If Du Guang went crazy and hacked him to death on the ship, wouldn't he have died unjustly?
Even Bao Qing was scared away. As you can imagine, Tang Qing and others immediately rolled and crawled out of the boat after Bao Qing.
Although there was a distance, everyone on the shore could clearly see what was happening on the deck.
Especially when Du Guang returned to the scene where he cut off the head of a household official, everyone was stunned.
For some reason, when they looked at Du Guang's figure, they seemed to have seen Li Huan.
When thinking of Li Huan, these officials shuddered subconsciously. Can they only be said to be the subordinates of that lunatic Li Huan?
Since Li Huan took charge of the Jinyiwei, these Jinyiwei have become more and more rampant, killing people at every turn.
Many officials looked at each other with deep fear in their eyes.
Bao Qing and others retreated from the boat. Thinking that he, a dignified third-rank official, was actually threatened by a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, Bao Qing's heart was filled with anger.
At this moment, a censor came forward and said to Bao Qing: "Shilang Bao, these Jinyi guards are too rampant. If you ask me, it's best to send troops directly to take these people away..."
An official couldn't help but look at the censor after hearing this, "mobilizing troops?" This man really dared to say that. Ever since Feng Hai led the Jingying Yongying camp into the capital and caused a rebellion, the emperor has never been more concerned about mobilizing troops.
Too sensitive.
If this had happened in the past, they might have been able to easily mobilize some troops. But when they mobilized troops at this time, were they really not afraid of irritating the emperor in the palace?
Bao Qing obviously knew that what the censor said was a bad idea.
Taking a deep breath, Bao Qing glanced fiercely at Du Guang and other Jin Yiwei who were standing on the deck, and said coldly: "I can't do anything to Li Huan. Does that mean I can't deal with him, a mere Jin Yiwei Qianhu?"
?"
As he spoke, Bao Qing suddenly waved his sleeves and said: "I am going to see the elder of the cabinet to impeach Du Guang. I beg your majesty to issue an order to capture Du Guang."
"Yes, we can't do anything to Li Huan, how can we not do anything to a thousand households of Jin Yiwei?"
"The Jin Yiwei are so arrogant that they kill people at every turn. We must not condone them."
"A petition for impeachment must be petitioned for impeachment."
Suddenly, many officials who saw Du Guang cutting off the heads of the household officials felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in their hearts, and they all clamored to impeach Du Guang.
There are a lot of people gathered at this pier, not only officials from the Household Department such as Bao Qing, but also many people who make a living from this pier.
The previous scene was obviously seen by many people, so the news spread quickly.
Of course, among the many people on the pier, there was Ma Yongcheng, the governor of the East Factory who had just got off the ship not long ago.
Ma Yongcheng escorted the fleet to the dock, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ma Yongcheng did not leave after landing ashore, but chose a place to watch from a distance.
Bao Qing, the minister of household affairs, brought a group of people to prepare for the handover with Du Guang and the matter of receiving the money. Naturally, Ma Yongcheng got the news early.
Ma Yongcheng also specially reminded Du Guang before.
At that time, Du Guang replied that he had his own way to deal with it, but Ma Yongcheng didn't believe it at that time.
He couldn't think of any way to deal with Du Guang and a thousand households of Jin Yiwei when facing Bao Qing, or facing the pressure of hundreds of officials.
So Ma Yongcheng has been paying attention to the movements on the silver boat since he landed ashore.
When Tang Qing was kicked off the boat, Ma Yongcheng's originally indifferent expression turned a bit solemn.
Others may not be able to hear the conversation between Du Guang and Tang Qing, but it does not prevent Ma Yongcheng from hearing it. Even if Ma Yongcheng cannot hear it, the far superior stall owner next to him can hear it clearly and relay it to Ma Yongcheng.
.
Ma Yongcheng was amazed when he heard this, obviously he did not expect that Du Guang would respond like that.
However, Ma Yongcheng was still worried about Du Guang, especially after Bao Qing boarded the ship and forced the people from the household department to board the ship to take over the bank, Ma Yongcheng thought that Du Guang would have no choice.
But when Du Guang cut off the head of an official from the Ministry of Revenue with his sword, Ma Yongcheng was stunned.
It is conceivable that even Ma Yongcheng, the governor of the East Factory, did not expect that Du Guang would have such a decisive side, let alone others.
It took a while for Ma Yongcheng to react. Seeing the furious Bao Qing and others hurried away, Ma Yongcheng knew without thinking what these people were going to do.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Yongcheng immediately shouted to Dongchang Fanzi beside him: "You guys keep an eye on me here. We will go to the palace to see His Majesty right now. If there is any news, we must send it to the palace as soon as possible."
."
In the imperial city
On this day, Zhu Houzhao was in the imperial study. Although he was reading some memorials, he seemed a little absent-minded, giving people a feeling of being restless and distracted.
Think about it, if nothing unexpected happens, millions of taels of gold and silver will arrive in the capital today. The key thing is that there is no conclusion on whether that gold and silver will be charged to the national treasury or the internal treasury.
Zhu Houzhao has received the news, and the people from the Ministry of Revenue have taken people to wait on the dock, ready to receive the money.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't have much hope in his heart. After all, Zhu Houzhao didn't think that a thousand households of royal guards could withstand the pressure from the court.
Even though he guessed that the money might eventually enter the treasury, Zhu Houzhao still felt a little uneasy. What if, what if some miracle happened? Didn't Li Huan have some arrangements for such a big thing?
It was precisely because of his expectations for Li Huan that Zhu Houzhao wanted to know what was happening at the dock now and whether the people in the Ministry of Accounts could successfully receive the money and put it into the treasury.
Qiu Ju, Gao Feng and others naturally knew why Zhu Houzhao was restless, but there was no news from outside the palace, so they didn't know what was going on outside.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao looked up at Qiu Ju and asked, "Is there no news yet?"
When the two heard this, Qiu Ju quickly said: "Your Majesty, there is no news yet. Your Majesty, if you wait a little longer, there may be news soon."
Zhu Houzhao sighed softly and said: "Actually, I also know that even if there is news, it may not be good news. I am afraid that the money will not be able to enter my inner treasury."
Although Zhu Houzhao was not the kind of king who was greedy for money, when he thought of the millions of stolen coins that he had just passed by, Zhu Houzhao also felt a burst of heartache.
Life as an emperor was not easy either.
In particular, his father did not leave him much inheritance at all. The little gold and silver that Emperor Xianzong originally accumulated was taken away little by little during the reign of his father, under the deception of ministers.
He went out, and when he ascended the throne, he discovered that there was less than a million taels of gold and silver in the inner treasury.
That is to say, Li Huan gave him 20,000 to 300,000 taels of silver, which brought his inner treasury to around one million. Otherwise, he would have been really poor as emperor.
The imperial city is so big, the daily expenses are not small. In addition, during the holidays, he, the emperor, also has to reward his ministers. The total expenditure of all these items is not a small amount.
If the emperor has no money, he will have no confidence in whatever he wants to do.
I originally thought that since Li Huan had confiscated so much silver, his internal treasury would be able to have a bumper harvest this time, but unexpectedly, the civil service group was eyeing these gold and silver.
Moreover, even he, the emperor, could not object to the reasons given.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhu Houzhao sighed softly: "It's too difficult for me as emperor."
At this time, a burst of footsteps came. Whether it was Zhu Houzhao or Qiu Ju, when Gao Feng heard the movement, he raised his head and looked outside the hall.
The person who came was none other than Ma Yongcheng.
When they saw Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju's eyes lit up, and Zhu Houzhao stared at Ma Yongcheng.
Entering the imperial study, Ma Yongcheng saluted the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I don't need to be too polite, please get up and tell me whether the people in the Ministry of Revenue have received the money?"
Anyway, Zhu Houzhao had no hope at this moment, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
Ma Yongcheng stood up. Thinking of what happened on the pier, he couldn't help but show a strange look on his face and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the money is still on the ship. The people in the Ministry of Finance have not been able to receive the money at this time."
Zhu Houzhao nodded subconsciously, but suddenly he raised his head and looked at Ma Yongcheng, with a look of astonishment on his face and said: "Daban, what did you say? The people in the Hubu did not receive the money, how is this possible? Is it possible in the Hubu?
Are you saying you don’t want to accept that sum of money?”
Ma Yongcheng said with a slight smile on his lips: "Your Majesty, it's not that the Ministry of Finance doesn't want to do it, it's that the Qianhu Du Guang, the Jin Yiwei guard responsible for escorting the batch of gold and silver, doesn't recognize the Ministry of Finance at all."
Hearing what Ma Yongcheng said, Zhu Houzhao was immediately shaken. He straightened his body, looked at Ma Yongcheng and said, "Come on, please tell me what's going on."
Ma Yongcheng immediately told the emperor in detail what happened on the dock, especially when he said that Du Guang directly chopped off the head of a household official, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju both opened their eyes.
.
Qiu Ju couldn't help but murmured softly: "Don't tell me, this is really Brother Li's style. I didn't expect that the people under Brother Li would also get some of his spirit."
Gao Feng chuckled and said, "What's the point? If he didn't have some ability, I'm afraid Brother Li wouldn't let Du Guang go to Qianshan County to preside over such an important matter."
Zhu Houzhao was also amazed after hearing this.
Du Guang killed the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was really surprised when he heard it. It was not that he thought there was anything wrong with Du Guang's move, but he lamented that with Li Huan taking charge of Jinyiwei, the style of Jinyiwei had also changed.
Suddenly it became different.
The emperor knew very well what kind of attitude Jin Yiwei had when facing civil servants in the past.
I think at the beginning, he just wanted to reorganize the bodyguard army, because he was afraid of the civil servant group. As a result, no one in the Jinyi Guards dared to stand up.
Fortunately, Du Guang, a member of the Imperial Guard of Qianhu, dared to kill an official on the spot in front of a third-rank official of the imperial court.
Ma Yongcheng noticed the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the cabinet has received the news at this time. With Mr. Yang Ge's temperament, he might go there in person. By then, Du Guang, the Qianhu of Jin Yiwei, may not be able to
You can handle the pressure."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, the excitement he felt just now disappeared.
Yes, Du Guang could withstand the pressure of a minister, but he definitely could not withstand the pressure of Yang Tinghe and hundreds of officials.
Zhu Houzhao could imagine that in a short time, many people from the imperial court would accompany Yang Tinghe to the dock.
When the time comes, facing a group of officials headed by Yang Tinghe, can Du Guang still be able to withstand the pressure?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao said to Ma Yongcheng: "Go, Ma Daban, go there in person. I'm afraid that the officials will take Du Guang. It's just money, but I can't do Du Guangzhongjun's work."
Let it fall into the hands of hundreds of officials."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yongcheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go now. The Imperial Guards are the Emperor's own soldiers. Even if you want to punish someone, your Majesty will have to nod."
Royal horse supervisor
Gu Dayong spends most of these days sitting in the Royal Horse Prison.
On this day, Gu Dayong was dealing with some things in the Royal Horse Prison, when he suddenly saw a young eunuch and a small flag officer of the Imperial Guard coming over.
When he saw the little flag officer, Gu Da's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly.
There was such a big fuss about what to do with the money that was not confiscated, and whether it should be put into the national treasury or into the inner treasury. How could Gu Dayong, as the general manager of the Royal Horse Supervisor and in charge of the emperor's inner treasury, not know.
Gu Dayong not only knew about it, but also paid attention to it.
Now when he saw the little flag officer of the Imperial Guard, Gu Dayong stood up and looked at the little flag officer. Without waiting for the other party to salute, he said, "Quickly tell me, has Du Qianhu escorted the money to Beijing?"
Upon hearing this, the small flag official nodded to Gu Dayong and said: "Go back to the Chief Manager, Mr. Du ordered me to inform the Chief Manager that the money has arrived at the dock, and also asked the Chief Manager to bring someone to hand it over."
Hearing this, Gu Dayong showed an excited smile on his face and couldn't help but chuckled: "Okay, okay, we'll go right away."
As he said that, Gu Dayong walked outside and shouted to a chamberlain: "Send my order and ask Commander Jiang to immediately take his people with us to the dock."
Soon, hundreds of elites from Tengxiang Youwei Camp were seen leaving the camp with large vehicles, following Gu Dayong towards the dock.
Just looking at Gu Dayong's reaction, we can tell that Gu Dayong was obviously prepared early.
Riding on the horse, Gu Dayong looked at the convoy behind him, with a smile on his face and said to the conductor Jiang Chi beside him: "I have to say that Brother Li Huan is really far-sighted and can predict events like a god. The day before yesterday, he
Send someone to quietly summon our family and let them be prepared. Once the silver boat arrives at the dock, we will lead people to pull the silver into the inner treasury."
Jiang Chi was able to be arranged by Gu Dayong to do such things. He was obviously Gu Dayong's confidant. He knew the whole story. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The governor is very knowledgeable about things and has made arrangements early. Those from the Ministry of Household Affairs
People don’t know anything yet and really think that the money will fall into their hands easily.”
Hearing this, Gu Dayong sneered and said: "Yes, Brother Li did not steal these coins. They are going to go into His Majesty's inner treasury. How can we take advantage of those officials in the imperial court in vain? We really don't think we know what they are."
."
At the same time, Bao Qing and others came to the cabinet at extremely fast speed to ask for a meeting with several cabinet ministers.
In fact, several pavilion elders also knew that the large ship escorting the silver arrived in the capital today, and they were also paying attention to this matter.
The situation was originally very good, and the emperor did not refuse. This naturally made many people think that the money would definitely enter the treasury smoothly.
Yang Tinghe seemed to be working as steadily as Mount Tai, but his heart was obviously not so calm. Yang Tinghe always felt that things were not that simple, and Li Huan did not seem to be such an easy person to talk to.
Now that Li Huan is not in the capital, otherwise, Yang Tinghe really can't guarantee whether the court can get this sum of money.
But now that Li Huanyuan is in Zhejiang, with the imperial court's righteousness in hand, a mere thousand households of royal guards cannot resist the imperial court. How can this sum of money be collected into the national treasury?
But at this moment, an official came in a hurry, startling Yang Tinghe who was deep in thought.
Yang Tinghe raised his head and glanced at the official, frowning and said: "What's the matter?"
The official said quickly: "The elders of the pavilion, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Bian Yu, the censor of the Duchayuan, and others want to see some elders of the pavilion."
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
At this time, Bao Qing came to see them. Could it be that the money had already been put into the treasury? But after calculating the time, it seemed wrong.
Just loading, unloading, counting and storing millions of taels of silver would take a day to figure it out.
According to Yang Tinghe's estimation, it would be good if the people from the Ministry of Revenue can complete these tasks before dawn tomorrow.
"Isn't it a surprise to say something?"
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Yang Tinghe immediately stood up and left the side hall. When Yang Tinghe walked out of the side hall, Li Dongyang, Wang Yangming, and Liu Yu, who had already received the news, also walked out.
Although there are some rifts between several cabinet elders in this term's cabinet, they still take it very seriously when it involves millions of taels of gold and silver.
In particular, it involves the repair of the Huanghuai River and the relief of disaster victims in Shaanxi, although there is still a certain amount of money available in the national treasury.
But once the money from the national treasury is used, it will really bottom out. If something unexpected happens and the court cannot find the money to deal with it, there will be problems.
As pavilion elders, they cannot bear this kind of responsibility.
Soon after everything was cleared, Bian Yu and others walked in.
When he saw Yang Ting and several pavilion elders, Bao Qing bowed directly to them and said, "Gentlemen of the pavilion, you have to make the decision for me."
Seeing Bao Qing's appearance, Li Dongyang couldn't help but frowned and said, "Didn't Mr. Bao go to receive the money? Could it be..."
Bao Qing immediately told in detail how Du Guang, a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, did not cooperate and how he beheaded an official from the Ministry of Revenue in front of them.
When Yang Tinghe heard this, he slapped his hand on the table and said in a deep voice: "Bold, who gave him the courage to kill court officials without permission?"
Although he was only an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he was still an official official of the imperial court. If Du Guang's actions were truly considered, the crime would be quite serious.
It can even be said that if you want to commit suicide, you can even be charged with treason for killing a court official without permission.
Even Li Dongyang frowned.
Although Liu Yu and Wang Yangming did not speak, their expressions were calm, making it difficult to tell what they were thinking.
Bao Qing said to Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and others: "Please ask some elders to make decisions for Xiaguan and others."
Yang Tinghe looked at Li Dongyang, Wang Yangming, and Liu Yu and said: "Everyone, Du Guang is good at killing imperial officials. The Jin Yiwei must give an explanation for this matter, and the money is related to the subsequent administration of the imperial court. Yang also invites you to come forward.
Go to the dock and take the money back to the treasury."
After saying that, Yang Tinghe stood up and strode outside.
When Bao Qing, Bian Yu and other officials saw this, their faces showed a bit of excitement and they quickly followed.
Li Dongyang sighed softly and walked out.
Liu Yu glanced at Wang Yangming and whispered: "Mr. Wang Ge, let's..."
Wang Yangming said slowly: "Let's go, no matter what, I still have to go this time."
Not long after, many civil and military officials from both Korea and China rushed over after hearing the news, and soon dozens of people gathered.
Even dozens of ordinary people walking together can cause quite a stir. What's more, these are all court officials wearing official uniforms, which naturally attracts the attention of many people.
Some of these officials came for Du Guang and Li Huan. They couldn't afford to offend him. But having one Li Huan was enough. Now even a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu dared to kill the household officials at every turn, even though it was just one person.
Officials.
But in the eyes of some officials, this is absolutely intolerable.
If we don’t punish Du Guang severely while Li Huan is away in the capital, and give the Jinyiwei officials a lesson and a warning, who knows if the Jinyiwei will ride on their necks in the future. If that is the case, how will they survive?
.
On this long street leading to the dock, there were hundreds of people headed by Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming, Liu Yu and other dozens of officials, plus some lower-level officials who came after hearing the news, and the momentum was extremely high.
big.
On another long street leading to the dock, Gu Dayong also led people from the Tengxiang Youwei Camp, and drove carts one after another towards the dock at extremely fast speeds.
Gu Dayong hurriedly urged his subordinates: "Hurry, please work harder for us. We are rushing for time now. We must not give the officials time to react. Otherwise, the money will not be so good."
Got it.”
