Liu Chengfeng watched the ship going farther and farther from a distance. He vaguely felt that someone on the ship seemed to have sensed him. After staring for a moment, Liu Chengfeng turned around indifferently and chatted lightly with the inspector.
"In recent days, the port has to strengthen its security. It has been a troubled time recently and we must not neglect our duties."
Liu Chengfeng warned Zhao Cheng with a solemn expression, and continued: "All Francois who come in and out must be reported. Those ordinary merchants and priests can let them move freely, but some people have stepped into our country of Da Chu.
, you must inform Jin Yiwei, do you understand?"
Inspector Zhao Cheng hurriedly agreed and said: "His Highness has given orders. How can a subordinate dare to neglect his duties? Moreover, all merchant ships entering and leaving must be registered, so there will be no problem." But he couldn't help but think in his heart: "His Highness suddenly strictly inspected all the merchants.
What does it mean to be at a checkpoint? Is it going to be a big move?"
In fact, Zhao Cheng knew something unusual about the recent times. After all, he was not an ordinary common man, and he was responsible for the entry and exit of the ship, so he vaguely knew that the navy had left the nearby military port more than a month ago. Although the navy in the navy camp
The loud sound of drills was still heard, but Zhao Cheng knew that every one of the navy officers and soldiers here were just showing off.
Logically speaking, it is very common for the navy to go to sea, but on such a large scale and in such a secretive manner, it is clear that there is something going on inside.
Zhao Cheng vaguely felt that this was related to what His Highness was ordering now.
He immediately became serious. Although he had already guessed a few things, he did not dare to ask any more questions. It was better to keep some things in his heart.
Liu Chengfeng inspected for a while and then returned to the palace. The whole port was noisy again. Only Zhao Cheng felt that something was not right, so he immediately summoned the officials in the Yamen to prepare for the forced inspection.
At the same time, a decree of the Uijeongye Government was also issued at the same time. All the vassal states that borrowed money from the Chu Kingdom changed the interest from the original annual charge to a monthly charge. Whether they are repaying the loan or paying off the interest, all countries can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs
Handled by the Treasury Bureau.
To put it bluntly, this is to tighten the noose around loan repayment. It is to force everyone to repay the money.
Naturally, all countries were dumbfounded. Pay back the money? Everyone came here to borrow money. Where did the money come from to pay back? Even if they don’t pay back the principal and pay off the interest, I’m afraid it’s still too much to bear. For example, Annan State needs to withdraw money every month.
Fifty thousand taels of silver to repay the interest on the loan. Fifty thousand taels of silver, not to mention now, even five years ago, when Annan's balance of payments was most balanced, was an astronomical figure. After all, Annan's annual income
The annual revenue from the treasury is only a few hundred thousand in silver, 190,000 in cloth, and 230,000 in grain. This is all the family has. How can a vassal state like Annan afford the interest of 50,000 per month?
In fact, when banks began to lend money, all countries were a little cautious, but once people relied on borrowing to live, their appetite gradually grew bigger and bigger. When they know that there is a money bag to back them up, people will become inert, so they will do all kinds of things.
Desire will be born, and the final result will be more and more debts, which will grow like a snowball. They will be dumbfounded when they run out of food.
Most of the vassals could not afford to repay the money. In fact, the bank had already planned it and did not expect them to repay it. Every time they borrowed money, each vassal had actually used minerals and port tariffs as collateral. According to the bank
I mean, these so-called loans are originally used in disguise to purchase mines and ports in various countries.
However, the current situation has changed. Chu State obviously has no interest in those mines, which makes the vassal kings and envoys of various vassal states feel even worse.
King Lihui of Annan originally wanted to contact King Zhenla and put pressure on Chu King Liu Chengfeng, but Liu Chengfeng released the news, saying that there are exceptions to everything, and banks may not
No money was lent to any vassal state, but specific special treatment was still being considered for which vassal states were to be given. As a result, King Zhenla, who was originally anxious and intended to ease the conflicts in Annan, immediately completely cut off contact with Li Hui.
But when the news came out, the guest house was already in a state of excitement. Princes and envoys from dozens of countries gathered together and began to think about it.
The State of Chu is going too far to deceive others and not give everyone a way to survive. For this reason, they must be trying to seize the vital interests of all countries. How can we just surrender?
King Lihui of Annan took the lead, and even King Chenla, who had been avoiding him, actually arrived. In addition, envoys from Aceh, Dover and other countries also arrived. This matter caused quite a stir, and the guest house
He quickly sent people to notify the Uijeongbu, but there seemed to be no movement from the Uijeongbu.
The reason why no measures were taken was because there was no excuse at all. How could you, the host, take care of people getting together to talk? However, it is said that many of the words of these people were disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty and Chu State.
In fact, it does not need to be said that the three ministers in the Uijeongbu government only need to think about it to know what complaints these people will make when they get together.
Complaints are of course complaints, and the government has no interest in taking care of them. The news has been reported to Liu Chengfeng, and Liu Chengfeng obviously has no interest in paying attention to it. News has just arrived from the court, and it is an express report from Chen Hongyu, the commander of Jinyiweidu. At this time, not only
Lianzhou was in chaos, and the capital was also in chaos. The contradictions in the capital had completely intensified. The emperor expressed his views several times during the hearing, but was blocked by the cabinet ministers. Naturally, the little emperor was furious. He originally wanted to find someone.
Empress Dowager Zhang complained, but she unexpectedly sided with the cabinet.
Empress Dowager Zhang's choice is correct. In any case, the little emperor is not yet familiar with government affairs, so the cabinet cannot act according to his wishes. For now, the little emperor can just listen to the government, and he will have to wait for a while before taking charge.
However, Zhu Houzhao was obviously an unwilling person. After losing his temper, he broke the jar, complained of illness, and never came to court again.
What the little emperor expresses is an attitude, which means to tell everyone that since they don't listen to him, then he will simply let go and be non-violent and non-cooperative.
Zhu Houzhao originally thought that letting out his anger would cause the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to give in, but he didn't know that a storm was brewing. A snowflake of impeachment memorials flew into the inner court, showing off the late Emperor Xiaozong, and really taught him a lesson.
Fan, who was even more vicious, actually hid some obscure and disrespectful words in the memorial.
It's just that Zhu Houzhao is not sick, but because he likes beauty. Some people even say that the emperor was misled by treacherous ministers. The more sinister ones are using their imagination, saying that although the emperor is still young and not very old, he has an affair with the princess.
It has been more than a year since the wedding, and many concubines have been selected in the palace, but why are there still no heirs? What is the reason? Some people gave the answer, saying that it was because the emperor was dissolute and even damaged his body, and was planning for the country and the country.
, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself no matter what.
Zhu Houzhao still has no heirs. Although he didn't show anything on the surface, he was probably a little uneasy in his heart. However, someone actually directly pierced the window paper, and Zhu Houzhao's temper finally exploded.
In his opinion, these ministers were trying to show shamelessness. Back then, the emperor's father only doted on Zhu Houzhao's mother. As a result, someone wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that Empress Zhang only doted on the emperor and only had one son and one daughter. This was not the country's
For good fortune, please ask Zhu Youtang to accept concubines and give birth to more children. Now Zhu Houzhao has many concubines, but some people accuse him of being licentious, and even reveal all of Zhu Houzhao's pitiful privacy.
He immediately went to the inner palace to meet with Empress Dowager Zhang. Although Empress Dowager Zhang favored the cabinet in state affairs, she was surprisingly silent on this matter. He neither said anything wrong with the ministers nor the emperor, but just said lightly
After saying that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, how should he get along with his ministers? Do you have to ask the Aijia?
Judging from this sentence, Queen Mother Zhang is still very vindictive. In fact, she has long been dissatisfied with some young people, but she just kept it secret. In addition, orphans and widows need to rely on these people in state affairs, and she can even make compromises with them.
And give in. But on this matter, although her position is vague, it is actually surprisingly firm. Zhu Houzhao is his son. If someone scolds him for this, he will be recorded in history and be infamy for thousands of years. Although Empress Dowager Zhang is also worried
The matter of holding the emperor's grandson, but this does not mean that it can be brought up publicly and used as an excuse.
After receiving this sentence, Zhu Houzhao finally straightened his back. He first ordered Xichang to arrest several officials who spoke too much, and then ordered them to use the imperial staff.
Xichang also took this opportunity to shine. Liu Jin personally sat in the doorway of the Meridian Gate and watched the prison sentence. Among the seven or eight officials, four were beaten to death on the spot, and the rest were all imprisoned.
Jailed pending trial.
It was precisely because of this opportunity that Liu Jin became stronger. The new emperor was holding back his anger and had to show his strength to the ministers. Liu Jin naturally became the whip in Zhu Houzhao's hand, waving it around in Xichang.
Overnight, he jumped to the top of the factory guard, and almost all major imperial cases fell into the hands of the West Factory.
When the late emperor was here, the factory guards had no use. This was because the former emperor used virtue to govern his subjects, so no matter how domineering the factory guards were, it was only within the controllable range. But now the new emperor is named Zhengde, but even if he
No matter how virtuous he is, it is of no use, because the cabinet has already overstepped its control, so he decided to use the factory guards to control the ministers. When the ministers took away his power, he reused the factory guards to kill those ministers who spoke too much.
Xiao Jing of Dongchang appeared to be respectful to Zhu Houzhao, but in fact he was on the side of the cabinet and secretly colluded with the cabinet, which was not enough to gain the trust of the new emperor. Although Jin Yiwei was loyal to the emperor and Zhu Houzhao also trusted him, there was a problem
It is impossible for the military attache in Jinyi to accompany the emperor all the time, guess his thoughts and take orders at any time. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's final choice was Xichang. Xichang was prosperous and skyrocketed, and Liu Jin, who was gradually maturing, naturally became popular.
In fact, Liu Chengfeng had already speculated about this result, so when he received Chen Hongyu's letter, Liu Chengfeng did not feel surprised. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but sigh. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later.
I just don’t know who will win in the final result?
"It seems that this matter in Lianzhou must be resolved as soon as possible. Once something goes wrong, the Queen Mother will not be able to control the situation. She is afraid that she will have to summon herself to Beijing." Liu Chengfeng secretly said in his heart, and then there was a flash in his eyes.
Murderous intent.
