Tang Yin didn't expect that Zhu Hao's plan was full of twists and turns.
After listening to it, I felt completely bad.
In front of Zhu Hao, I have to ask for countermeasures every time. Now I know that Zhu Hao can't ask others for advice. It's all the kid who came up with it himself...
Sometimes he will inevitably wonder, how many things are hidden in this little head?
"Zhu Hao, I have something to ask you. When you happily gave Zhang Fengzheng five hundred taels of silver, were you already planning for today? Is this something you had already planned?"
Tang Yin was scared.
If Zhu Hao was thinking of using Yuan Zonggao to return to the palace in the future when Zhang Zuo was causing trouble for him, he would design to instigate conflicts between the two parties and make Zhang Zuo spit out the money he got...
The scheming is too deep.
Tang Yin didn't dare to think any further.
If this is really the case, then it cannot be described as a general intellect, it is simply a monster.
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "It's just taking advantage of the situation, how could I see so far... Besides, if Zhang Fengzheng hadn't taken away my five hundred taels of silver, would I have had the room to deal with him?"
"Why not?"
Tang Yin refused to give up, "You have designed everything. The price of the main lens provided to Su Dong is fifteen taels. The telescope here in the palace deliberately charges twenty taels. When Zhang Fengzheng takes over, you will give him the extra five hundred taels. You can also
Knowing that the cost of the pipe itself is not that much..."
Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin with a smile, an innocent look on his face, as if he was laughing at him. Are you thinking of me too complicated because of your fear of me?
"why are you laughing?"
Tang Yin felt uncomfortable all over.
In front of a child, I suddenly found that I seemed to be naked, being seen from head to toe, as if I couldn't hide any secrets, and every move was controlled by this kid.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I'm laughing. Mr. Lu is thinking too much. Instead of thinking about when I will start calculating this matter, it is better to wake up Zhang Fengzheng as soon as possible and ask him to quickly hand over the external accounts... If Yuan Changshi finds out
Zhang Fengzheng would be completely unable to remedy the loophole at that time.
"Also, Mr. Lu and I are allies. You don't need to doubt my sincerity. I thank you for supporting me when I was in danger. If I hadn't regarded you as an ally, I wouldn't have risked going to Nanchang to pick you up."
, I’ll try my best to help you get into Prince Xing’s Mansion. There’s nothing about you worth my calculations, just understand this... We have the same goal, living well in the Prince’s Mansion is more important than anything else.”
The old boy still cares about whether I am a monster? Do you understand that I have to be efficient in doing things?
You don’t know how much Tang Yin weighs?
You are famous for your talent, which is also famous for your poetry and painting. Also, when you are in danger, you don't even run naked on the street. You can still be flexible and flexible.
Apart from that, what else can I do against you?
Furthermore, it is inconvenient for me to do things as a child, so I recommend you to Prince Xing’s Mansion, even if I use you as a spearman... we are also allies, the kind who advance and retreat in unison.
Tang Yin shook his head in frustration, ignored class, and hurriedly went to Zhang Zuo to discuss the matter.
Before leaving, Zhu Hao was still reminding: "Be careful, don't let Yuan Changshi notice, you still have to maintain a neutral attitude now."
…
…
Send Tang Yin away.
Zhu Hao felt relaxed.
When did the plot against Zhang Zuo begin?
If you have nothing to do to cause trouble for me, I will give you the money according to your wishes. I took mine and made you want to vomit, and your stomach ached so much that you couldn’t pull it out...
This is the method!
Otherwise, you think that the money that should belong to me can be easily obtained? Then do you still want to get money from me next time?
No matter how much money my family has, I can only earn it through my own skills. Why should I give it to you?
Now if you spit out the money and don't tell me, the responsibility is not on me. It was the result of the fight between you and Yuan Zonggao.
Who told you, an old eunuch, to bite off more than you can chew?
"Why is Mr. Lu gone?"
After Zhu Hao returned to his seat, several children pretended to study. After waiting for a long time, Tang Yin came in, and Zhu San reached out to greet him. Lu Bing trotted all the way to the door to look at it, and then shook his little head.
Zhu San also turned his attention to Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao said: "Maybe it's because I've had a bad stomach and I'm feeling dizzy!"
"you're disgusting."
Zhu San pretended to cover his nose.
Zhu Si looked disdainful: "You talk as if you don't know how to have diarrhea. Don't you want to make people anxious?"
Zhu San glared at his brother: "You don't know anything at first glance. Do you believe Zhu Hao's lies? It's obvious that Mr. Lu left because he said a few words to Zhu Hao...Zhu Hao is messing with us in the lake."
Zhu Si ignored his sister's provocative words.
Jinghong, who was studying next to him, looked impatient: "Then the princess hopes that Mr. Lu will come back soon?"
Zhu Sanyi thought.
That's right. I don't care why Mr. Tang left. As long as I'm not in class, then I can't just wander off. Why should I worry about that?
Then Zhu San raised his head and faced the sky outside, falling asleep out of boredom.
…
…
At night.
Prince's study room.
After Zhu Youji met Yuan Zonggao, he called Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin over. This time he only called the three people in front of him to talk.
After all, it is an internal conflict and there is no need to make it public. Everything is resolved by the subordinates themselves.
Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin did not come at the same time. When Zhang Zuo arrived, Tang Yin had just arrived, and he had not even heard Zhu Youjie finish explaining the purpose of his visit.
"Is Zhang Fengzheng here?"
Zhu Youjia looked at Zhang Zuo with a little indifference in his eyes.
There was a thick and spacious account book in front of Zhu Youji. Even if Tang Yin had never seen what the palace account book looked like, he could probably guess that this was what Zhu Hao called the palace's big account.
Tang Yin thought to himself, as expected, Yuan Changshi had been fooled by what he said, and Yuan Changshi's attack was quite sure and ruthless, but he probably didn't expect that this was all a trap designed by Zhu Hao long ago.
"Your Majesty, you are looking for this old slave...but there is something wrong?"
Zhang Zuo looked very humble, and his tone of voice was also telling Zhu Yougao that I am a slave of the palace. Not only does my heart go to the palace and you, but my body also belongs to the palace. I am not a civil servant sent to the palace by the imperial court.
Zhu Youjia turned his head and said, "Yuan Changshi, please tell me."
A smile like an old fox appeared on Yuan Zonggao's face: "Zhang Fengzheng, it's like this. After I returned to the palace, I checked the relevant accounts of the palace and found some problems, especially those involving the past six months... there seemed to be deviations."
Zhang Zuo smiled bitterly and said: "Yuan Changshi, we are just looking after the warehouse. Are there any moths down there... Even if we can supervise, we can't eliminate them. This... this... when you were here before, this account book
It has always been in your hands, haven’t there been some losses in the past few years?”
Let’s attack first with the past treasury deficit.
The smell of gunpowder suddenly became stronger.
Like an outsider, Tang Yin watched the conflict between Zhang Zuo and Yuan Zonggao intensify, and as Zhu Hao disappeared behind the scenes, he pushed forward step by step.
Tang Yin was thinking again, as expected, if Zhang Zuo hadn't checked the accounts in advance, maybe Yuan Changshi wouldn't want to break up. This was all the result of Zhu Hao's fueling the situation.
Yuan Zonggao said: "The matter of the deficit needs to be investigated slowly. However, the palace built a telescope. I know that this matter is related to the allocation of funds by the imperial court. I will investigate it in detail afterwards and there is no room for sloppiness. This is also the largest project supervised by the palace for the imperial court in recent years."
Approval of ordnance is related to the evolution of the war in the northwest, and cannot be overemphasized."
"Yes Yes."
Zhang Zuo figured it out. Yuan Zonggao first made the matter a big deal, making it appear that the palace could not relax. In fact, it was Yuan Zonggao who was just making excuses for himself to check the accounts for no reason.
Hey, you just check the accounts, why are you looking for so many high-sounding excuses?
Yuan Zonggao added: "As far as I know, the telescope was built under the supervision of the descendants of the Zhu family of the Jinyiwei family, Mrs. Zhu San, who was the mother of Zhu Hao, the palace's companion. It involved the imperial court's appropriation of 10,000 taels of silver, and the palace actually paid the accountant
There were two thousand taels of silver ingots, of which one thousand five hundred taels were allocated to the cost of manufacturing lenses, and five hundred taels...it seems that Zhang Fengzheng took over?"
I'm coming.
Tang Yin felt like he was watching a good show. He was not a participant in the incident, just a bystander. However, in fact, he was used as the spearman by Zhu Hao in the whole incident. Even if he was not the initiator, he was still involved in every aspect.
This kind of participation in the whole process, but being able to stay out of it and watch two important figures in the palace bite dogs...
I feel very happy just looking at it.
No matter how hard you fight, it’s me who benefits.
Zhang Zuo nodded: "It's true."
Yuan Zonggao did not expect Zhang Zuo to admit so readily, but he had already asked Zhu Youjia, and learned that Zhu Youjia did not know about the matter, so he became more confident and continued to ask: "How dare I ask Zhang Fengzheng, these five hundred taels
Where is the silver... used specifically?"
After the question is spoken, even a fool can realize that it is an attempt to settle accounts later.
Zhang Zuo looked very unjust: "Yuan Changshi, why do you suddenly ask this? Everything has passed, and there are also problems with the imperial court's allocation of money. Do we need to calculate the details clearly one by one?"
Zhang Zuo's expression was nervous and his hands were trembling, indicating that he was very guilty.
This further strengthened Yuan Zonggao's confidence.
Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Youji, probably meaning that he needed Zhu Youji to come out and say something fair.
Zhu Youguo said: "I didn't ask anything about this matter. I thought that after the telescope was built, the trouble would be settled. However, according to Yuan Changshi's news from his old friends in the court, someone from the Ministry of Industry reported that the cost of the telescope was obviously not in line with the cost."
, it was also mentioned many times in the court discussion that even if His Majesty returns to protect him, there is still the possibility of verification afterwards, so it is better to settle the accounts clearly to avoid damaging the reputation of the palace."
Even Zhu Youji stood on Yuan Zonggao's side, and it seemed that Zhang Zuo was destined to lose.
Zhang Zuo looked aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I am just worried that if I build a telescope for the imperial court, the imperial court may investigate the cost of 500 taels of copper pipes and decorations. I can save as much as I can. In fact, I only use
One hundred and twenty-eight taels were paid...
"The remaining old slaves have all been transferred to the bank. I originally planned to record them as autumn grains and return them to the big account. In this way, even if the court investigates, there will be no real evidence.
"Who would have thought... today I have to explain to the prince in advance where the money is going... I'm not greedy for a penny."
