Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1674
Zhu Qizhen was eager for no one to mention such a regret, but Cai Zhong took the initiative to say that he meant that the observation team was sent by himself and should be responsible for any problems. It really provoked his anger. Without waiting for the other party to continue, Zhu Qizhen was already angry and asked, “what do you mean that many officials have no problem? Did they send you silver, that’s no problem?”
Cai Zhong, who was talking incessantly, suddenly interrupted his voice and got such a rhetorical question. For a moment, he was stunned and shocked. He didn’t expect that the emperor should know about it. More importantly, the emperor should make it clear publicly.
Normally, even if the emperor knows something, he won’t say it publicly. Just a limited reminder is that this is the emperor’s mind. I don’t know what to say. Let the following ministers think for themselves, which can often play a more frightening role.
All along, Zhuqi town has done the same, which has indeed played a good deterrent role, so that the ministers are a little afraid of the emperor. But what does it mean to speak openly? Is this the rhythm of turning over?
Cai Zhong may have been with Zhuqi town for too long, and he has been blessed by the emperor, so that he began to forget his identity. He didn’t want to think about it. As a eunuch, he also thought that the emperor would turn against him and say that the punishment was just a sentence. What’s the difficulty?
First, he was stunned. He was struck by Zhu Qizhen’s words and was a little confused. After a quick reaction, his face suddenly changed and he was sweating. He knew that if he couldn’t make things clear today, don’t say that the emperor would make decisions for him. I’m afraid he won’t be able to turn over from now on.
At that moment, Cai Zhong fell to his knees with a plop and repeatedly claimed to be guilty. When he looked up, he said, “emperor, this is the minister protecting those officials. Moreover, Mou Mu also has a share in this matter. The money given by those officials finally fell into his hands, Emperor.”
It’s also forbidden to bite out Mu Mu. In CAI Zhong’s opinion, there are not many people around the emperor now, and Mu Mu is very favored now. If you can pull this person in, it must be possible to make a big deal smaller even for Mu Mu’s face. As long as he survived this time, he will be a low-key man for a while. The right time is to start in Dongshan.
Zhuqi town can spare itself if it thinks it has found a cushion. Eunuchs also have to work. They can’t catch everyone. But Cai Zhonggen didn’t know it. Mu Mu had been guarding against him for a long time.
The money given by Cai Zhong to Mou Mu had already been sent to the emperor. To tell the truth, Mou Mu is not short of money, or Yang Chendong is not short of money at all. Not to mention the money given to Zhuqi town now, once Nanming becomes a member of the Yang family, the money will eventually go back to his pocket.
When Cai Zhong was still thinking that Zhuqi town must let him go, a roar came, “you’re not interested in talking about silver. How much have you embezzled in total, say!”
Zhuqi town is really angry. Cai Zhong first mentioned the matter of the observation group without eyes and exposed his scars. Then he didn’t know how to repent and wanted to dismount Mou mu. Do you really think you can’t have a good temper? Do you really think you dare not deal with him?
Yes, Zhu Qizhen likes Cai Zhong very much. He was able to come to yingtianfu from Beiming Dynasty, which also proves the other party’s loyalty to him. To be a suitable minister, loyalty is not enough, but also ability.
That is, people who are incompetent, greedy, don’t want their own mistakes when they encounter things, and want to pull others off the horse to achieve the purpose of putting themselves into a rat repellent. Such people can’t be spared.
“Ah? This…” Zhu Qizhen’s reaction completely surprised Cai Zhong. He didn’t expect to directly ask himself how much money he received. Judging from his experience in serving Zhuqi town over the years, if he asks like this, he must have an answer.
At the thought of the punishment of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, Cai Zhong was afraid. He knocked on the ground and shouted, “emperor, my minister is guilty, my minister is guilty. But Mou Muzhen took the silver given by my minister.”
At this time, Cai Zhong still wants to pull Mou Mu off his horse to share his fault.
If he really admits his mistake, perhaps Zhu Qizhen will really spare him for the sake of each other’s loyalty. At most, he will not be reused in the future. Speaking of the degree of reuse of eunuchs in Zhuqi Town, it is definitely the highest in history.
But at this time, Cai Zhong still wants to find the person on the back. It’s not a mistake to admit. It’s clearly a sophistry. Zhuqi town is now completely disappointed. He shook his head, and his voice suddenly became much more flat. “Mou Aiqing had already presented the silver you gave him to me. I’m so disappointed that you dare to bite the loyal minister now.”
“Ah!” Cai Zhong once again uttered a unique shriek like a male duck’s voice, and then the whole man fell to his knees like a decadent man, as if he had no bones to support his whole body. He didn’t expect Mu Mu to do so. Didn’t he sell himself long ago? Fortunately, he took this as an excuse to get rid of his crime. I really don’t know how the word “death” is written.
Eunuchs are eunuchs. No matter how powerful they are, the emperor’s words are nothing but ashes.
Cai Zhong was taken away by the big Han General outside the hall. When he left, he didn’t ask for mercy, because he knew how miserable his fate would be next. At the moment, it’s just futile to say anything.
When Mu Mu heard about it, it was already an hour later. His face remained unchanged and his heart was a little excited. Cao Jixiang and Cai Zhong are finished. Should it be Qian sengbao’s turn next?
As soon as he thought about it, Mu Mu thought he should do something else.
Compared with Mu Mu’s calmness, Qian sengbao was laughing. Over the years, he finally felt that he was in charge of the whole eunuch group. Without competitors, Mou Mu obeyed his words. In the future, he could do whatever he wanted. Once he fully integrated this power, what he heard in front of the emperor would be good for him. In this way, who would shake his foundation, He will be the second of Wang Zhenyi.
no When Wang Zhen was there were other eunuchs who divided power. If he does well, he can be more powerful than Wang Zhen.
Qian sengbao, who was in a good mood, soon received good news. Many officials found him, especially some officials from other provinces. After the goal of the royal guards moved from Kyoto to other provinces, once officials near Kyoto began to be arrested. In order to protect themselves, these people found Qian sengbao through the guidance of other officials. After all, Mu Mu didn’t take much money, and when he met officials, he was cold, giving people a feeling of inaccessibility. Cai Zhong was completely taken down again. They have no other way but to change money.
More and more officials sought to see, and more and more silver was given. In just three days, three million taels of silver were received one after another. This shows the wealth of officials and proves that the silver in their hands is far from salary.
Qian sengbao also has a good appetite, but he will give an answer according to how much money he sends. Send less, naturally is perfunctory; If you give more, he will make it clear that nothing will happen to the other party; The one with a huge amount of money, he will take the time to meet him directly and comfort him.
For a time, Qian sengbao became the “reborn parents” of many officials, and the voice of praise came one after another. Then these officials said that father-in-law Qian was their life-saving straw and their biggest backer.
Such a move naturally attracted resistance from some officials who claimed to be just. Either they are honest officials, or their time as officials is too short to afford any silver at all. But they are jealous, so they fold up one after another to protect one.
When these memorials were sent to Zhuqi Town, they were all kept. The emperor doesn’t care. Will those who do things be involved? Just like eunuch mu, aren’t there many people who participated in him? Not to mention Zhu Qizhen is very conceited. He thinks he doesn’t have the courage to covet so much money if he knows about Qian sengbao.
If it’s one hundred thousand two hundred thousand taels of silver, he may dare to do it. It’s often said that it’s several million taels. He doesn’t have the courage.
This is the biggest disadvantage of Zhuqi town. He always likes to be self righteous, always thinks he knows everything, and always thinks he is very accurate in looking at people. This is the case with Wang Zhen before, Qian sengbao now, and Mu Mu in the future. No wonder he will lose everything in the end.
Mou Mu quietly watched Qian sengbao’s performance. He also tried his best to complete the orders given to him by the other party. However, he would not move any of the personnel lists sent by the other party, although he did not see a copper coin of the silver sent by these officials.
The only thing he can do is to write down all the names of these officials, and send someone to investigate how much money those officials sent to Qian sengbao. He should also know. His thoughts and demands are much bigger than those of Qian sengbao.
For Mu Mu’s cooperation, Qian sengbao didn’t feel any discomfort. On the contrary, he thought it was all right. Think about it. Even a eunuch like Cai Zhong was brought down by him? (Qian sengbao thinks that Cai Zhong’s downfall is due to his own relationship) besides, it was with his help that Mou Mu became the leader of royal guards today?
