Prince of Chaos

Chapter 570 The Great Son of Emperor Wanli
With Zhu Changluo's approval, the cabinet and Dongchang were united in a rare way.

Sun Xian immediately sent someone to take down all the censors in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, and put them in the prisons of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Wang Xijue also immediately summoned the cabinet ministers to unify the opinions of the cabinet, and killed those who were going to sit in the Meridian Gate to remonstrate to death.

Next, Xiao Daheng's actions were also extremely fast, and almost without interrogation, he directly sentenced Liu Keyong and Mou Qingsong according to the evidence and testimony obtained by Yu Jideng!
Then Xiao Daheng and Yu Jideng sent a joint task force from the Anti-Corruption Agency and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to enter Changping Town, and under the suppression of the Jixian New Army, they took down all the guerrillas in Changping Town, whether they were the deputy commander-in-chief or the generals. .

At the same time, Wei Zhongxian also closed the net outside the customs, and captured the Fan family and seven other smuggling Shanxi merchants.

Moreover, the harvest is quite rich!
In the homes of these eight Shanxi merchants who ate inside and outside, not only millions of stones of grain to be smuggled were copied, but also luxury goods such as mountain products from Liaodong, old ginseng, mink fur, fox fur, and Dongzhu.

But that’s not all. In the silver cellars of these eight houses, Wei Zhongxian also confiscated nearly ten million taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of taels of pure gold!
The money copied from these coins alone is worth the income of the Beijing household department for several years!

It can be seen from this that how profitable the smuggling and traitorous activities of these eight traitors and traitors have been doing over the years!

It's no wonder that these eight traitors were personally entertained by the later Emperor Shunzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and rewarded Zhangjiakou as Fan's family business.It can be seen how much effort they put in for the rise of the Qing Dynasty!

This kind of painstaking effort has the taste of Lu Buwei's rare goods in the pre-Qin period.

However, no matter how rare Lu Buwei was, he never went outside the Great Wall to flirt with the Huns.

What Lu Buwei did was still controlled within the big Huaxia family, and he had made outstanding contributions to the future unification of China.

But what about these eight?To put it bluntly, he is a successful businessman with international awareness, but to put it bluntly, he is a traitor who forgets his ancestors and forgets his righteousness for profit!
When Wei Zhongxian quickly sent this list of house raids to the capital, Zhu Changluo replied immediately: "The new army from Jixian County escorted [-] people to go to the capital to search for the proceeds and the Fan family and the whole family of seven traitorous Shanxi merchants, old and young, to enter the capital."

With such a big harvest, of course, it is better to be alone than to be happy.

Naturally, Zhu Changluo also thought of his own cheap father, the emperor who is obsessed with money—Wanli is so cute.

If such a good thing is not shared with him, Zhu Changluo will not be able to store the stolen money in his own small treasury in a fair manner.

After all, the imperial court is also very short of money. If such a large sum of money is pledged to the capital, if the cabinet and the household department can turn a blind eye to it, it will be evil.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo still took advantage of Emperor Wanli's money-greedy nature and asked him to forcibly send this huge sum of money into his internal funds.

Only in this way can Zhu Changluo control the cabinet and court officials in terms of financial resources, and at the same time use huge sums of money to support the army loyal to him.

This is simply the perfect plan to kill birds with one stone!

If Zhu Changluo was an idiot, he would send the money to the treasury of the Ministry of Households. Except for the praise of "the crown prince is wise", there would be no practical benefits.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo will not be a big fool.

Although the Son of Heaven and the country are integrated into one body, but now it is the late Ming Dynasty when the scholar-bureaucrats dominate, if the money is given to them again.

Zhu Changluo, the prince of the country, should stop doing it. They can just put it aside and spend money from the treasury for private enrichment.They definitely can do this kind of thing.

"Father!"

Zhu Changluo pretended to be anxious and nervous, and hurriedly arrived at the other palace where Emperor Wanli lived in Xishan Huangzhuang.

Emperor Wanli, who was fishing and drinking sparkling water, saw his big son and rushed over in panic.

He nervously drank the sparkling water in his hand, and then asked nervously and concernedly: "What's the matter, Chang Luo?"

Zhu Changluo handed over the list of confiscated homes sent by Wei Zhongxian to Emperor Wanli, and then began to perform tearfully!

"Father, my son has been working hard since he was in charge of the country, and he did not dare to feel tired. However, there was such a horrific smuggling case in Zhangjiakou! Eight Shanxi merchants regarded my Ming Dynasty as nothing, wantonly bought my Ming officials, smuggled Grain, salt and iron, and firearms are used to fertilize the enemies of the captive chieftains of the grassland."

"My ministers realized later, until today I didn't realize that they were so insane, betraying the country for glory, amassing windfalls, and destroying the stability of Ming Dynasty! This is all the crime of my ministers!"

Hearing Zhu Changluo's self-blame, and looking at the list of house raids that made his heart pound.

Emperor Wanli's eyes turned red instantly, and his breathing became short of breath!

He murmured in disbelief, "Is this all true?"

Zhu Changluo said aggrievedly: "It's all true. My minister has already ordered Wei Zhongxian to take the dirty silver and dirty things and the whole family of the eight daring Shanxi merchants to the capital."

Emperor Wanli was excited, patted Zhu Changluo on the shoulder and said, "Good son!"

"Letting you supervise the country is my most wise decision! These eight Shanxi merchants were able to smuggle such a huge amount of property, and it was not achieved overnight. You can see through their disguise in time and get all their stolen silver and dirt Take it down, this is a great achievement!"

"Not only are you innocent, but you are also a blessing to Ming Dynasty! I am so proud of you! If the ancestors knew that you have made such great achievements, they would be extremely pleased."

Hearing Emperor Wanli's praise, Zhu Changluo raised his head and asked, "Really? Father."

Emperor Wanli said: "Really. Father is proud of you!"

Then Zhu Changluo also talked about the crucial question, "Father, what should I do with these dirty silver and stolen goods?"

After Emperor Wanli heard this sentence, he directly waved his hand and said: "Of course it is to enrich the internal funds! These dirty silver and dirt are all copied by the internal officials, and have nothing to do with the external court!"

Zhu Changluo stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "My son obeys the order."

Then Emperor Wanli asked excitedly: "When will these dirty silver loot be brought to the capital?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Within seven days at the earliest."

Emperor Wanli was very happy when he heard that he could see the silver in seven days.

Emperor Wanli said: "Okay, okay, when the time comes, I must come and see these silvers in person, oh no, the ugly faces of these traitors! I will definitely order them to be punished and executed in a hurry!"

Zhu Changluo said: "Father is absolutely right. Traitors like the Fan family must be killed as an example to set the world straight!"

Emperor Wanli said: "Okay, you will take care of the affairs of these cheap merchants and corrupt officials of the Fan family. I will help you stabilize the rear and send these stolen silver and dirt into the internal treasury!"

In the end, Emperor Wanli made a division of smuggling between the Fan family and Changping Town.

He only takes care of the money collection, and Zhu Changluo has full power to deal with the previous matters.
