People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 140: He took two billion taels of silver to the Meridian Gate and slapped a civil servant in the face! !

Sitting on the carriage back to the capital, Li Rusong felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Chen Han, who was bored and looking at the scenery outside the window.

He had already learned that his father was in Liaodong, and he actually dared to ask the court for military pay of 1.2 million taels of silver.

Although he was not specifically in charge of military affairs in Liaodong, how could he not know, having grown up in Liaodong, that all the military pay would be consumed by Liaodong?

In fact, it cannot be used up.

And the reason for doing this is nothing more than deliberately embarrassing the court.

Why do you do this?
Just because Southeast and Shanxi were under heavy pressure from the imperial court at the same time, in order to cope with these two places, his father actually opened his mouth openly.

If it had been before, he wouldn't have felt that his father was wrong to do this.

After all, as an official in the officialdom, you cannot act on your own initiative. You still have to pay attention to some strategies and connections, so that you can maintain the status of the Li family in Liaodong.

But now he doesn't think so.

He knew that Chen Han, a master of great talent and strategy, would never compromise like this.

Moreover, he was quite admired for what he did. He made decisions for the people, punished corrupt officials, and punished profiteers.

This is what a man should be like.

But what my father did was like throwing an egg against a rock.

So he opened his mouth several times and finally said: "Tishuai, I'm sorry for my father's ignorance."

Chen Han tilted his head and glanced at him, "Can you be your father's boss?"

Li Rusong shook his head.

"Then why do you apologize for him?"

"But my father..."

Chen Han shook his head, "It's none of your business. You've done so many things by my side, and you've performed pretty well. You're brave and resourceful.
The most important thing is to be able to distinguish between justice and family affection in your heart. This is enough.

As for the affairs between the court and your father, you should not interfere for the time being. "

When Li Rusong heard what Chen Han said, he couldn't say any more.

What he didn't know was that Chen Han told him not to interfere in the affairs of his father Li Chengliang and the court.

But if you think about it carefully, Chen Han has always liked beautiful women, but why did he let him accompany her along the way?
There is still a profound meaning in it.

……

After more than ten days, Chen Han and the others finally arrived near the capital.

Outside Yongding Gate.

It’s still that bamboo forest.

Princess Ning'an is waiting here.

Princess Ning'an has been waiting here for several days.

Ever since she received a letter from Chen Han saying that he would be returning to the capital in the next few days, she had been waiting here every day.

Although I can't meet Chen Han in public.

But just looking at it from a distance was also a kind of satisfaction for her.

And today she finally saw Chen Han's car entering through Yongding Gate.

The two people met each other's eyes, both just smiled lightly and didn't say much.

……

The news that Chen Han returned to the capital shocked the whole city.

Although the communication technology in ancient times was not developed, it was passed down by word of mouth after more than ten days.

Everyone also knows how shocking Chen Han's actions in the southeast were.

In fact, everyone is not a fool. Why do "pirates" and "Japanese pirates" suddenly show kindness to the people?

And retaliate against the original benefactor, the smugglers in the southeast.

It's nothing more than manipulation.

In addition, Chen Han killed corrupt officials in the southeast, and his victims were everywhere. He was merciless to guards officers, officials, eunuchs, and even officials' children. Especially his three-blade guillotine, the dog-headed guillotine used to kill common people, the tiger-headed guillotine used to kill officials, and the dragon-headed guillotine used to kill the emperor's relatives. Although the dragon-headed guillotine has not yet been unsealed, it is already famous all over the world.

Chen Han distributed the land occupied by the families that had been confiscated and exterminated to the people in the southeast. This not only promoted the greatness of the imperial court, but Chen Han himself became an upright official like Lord Qingtian.

So even though so many civil and military officials hated Chen Han deeply.

But Chen Han's common people base is not comparable to them.

When Chen Han entered the capital from Yongding Gate, people gathered on both sides of the street and lined up for more than 20 miles, just to see Chen Han's true appearance.

Chen Han did not hide himself, he stood on the shaft of the carriage and greeted the people on both sides.

It feels like a leader making an inspection tour.

The people watched Chen Han leave with bitter cold and tears all the way.

Although there is no heartbreaking scene.

But the image of Chen Han making decisions for the people has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the people.

Not long after Chen Han entered the city, Cao Zhengchun also led hundreds of carts and thousands of large wooden boxes, forming a long queue of dozens of miles and slowly entered the capital.

Only then did officials learn about the situation in Southeast and Shanxi.

They regretted it so much that some officials even cried for more than ten days.

Officials from Shanxi felt heartbroken when they heard that their own family was also involved in this incident and that no one was left alive.

When asked, they collapsed even more.

The person who said the murderer was actually a Tatar.

Ordinary people who don't know the situation will of course lament and say that such a thing happened, and those foreigners deserve to die.

But these Shanxi people who knew the situation well would scold Cao Zhengchun for his shamelessness.

How could it be possible that the Tatars took the initiative to kill Shanxi merchants?
You must know that the Shanxi merchants were the benefactors of the Tatars. This must be Cao Zhengchun's trick.
Just like what Chen Han did in the southeast, he used pirates and Japanese pirates to kill the rich gentry in the southeast.

On the Shanxi side, Cao Zhengchun used the Tatars to kill Shanxi Shanxi merchants.

This group of people gnashed their teeth in hatred, but even if they knew the whole story, Chen Han and Cao Zhengchun did it very cleanly from beginning to end, and they couldn't grasp the handle at all.

Even Chen Han was good at acting in the southeast. Every time the "Japanese pirates" looted the wealthy gentry on the shore, he immediately ran to condolences to the victims. He even cried for his father and mother and scolded those "pirates" and "Japanese pirates".

But every time the officers and soldiers he sent arrived, they would be in a mess, and then they would come back and tell the victims,

When Jinyiwei arrived, the pirates and Japanese pirates were fighting with each other. In the end, they fought with each other and died, in order to fool the host.

It is estimated that Cao Zhengchun must have killed those Tatars who disappeared inexplicably.

What they guessed was true.

After the Tatars completed their mission of robbing Shanxi merchants, Cao Zhengchun personally sent them on their way.

Cao Zhengchun would not keep these aliens just because they were afraid of Cao Zhengchun's methods and were loyal to them.

Each of these people has their hands stained with the blood of Han people. Can we keep them? Absolutely not.

Chen Han waited until Cao Zhengchun entered the city and the two of them met. Then, under the shocked eyes of all the officials, Chen Han and Cao Zhengchun directly pulled thousands of large carts and small carriages into the Forbidden City, and pulled them to the Meridian Gate.

Emperor Wanli convened a meeting of civil and military officials.

All civil and military officials came to the Meridian Gate Square and saw thousands of neatly arranged carriages and large boxes on them.

When I saw the box from Shanxi that said where it was seized from and how much silver it contained, I knew what Chen Han was going to do.

Especially those officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who shouted loudly that the Ministry of Household Affairs was out of money and we couldn't raise military salaries, so we resigned collectively, their faces were darker than the bottom of the pot.

What is Chen Han doing?
Chen Han wanted to slap them in the face deliberately.

And Chen Han really wanted to do this.

He stood on the big wooden box and looked condescendingly at the surrounding civil and military officials, and shouted loudly, "I heard that the household department of the imperial court is empty. The officials of the household department can't even raise 1.2 million taels of silver." , but also to resign collectively.

I don't understand very much. Our court is obviously very rich.

For example, now that my commander-in-chief and Eunuch Cao heard about the "Japanese pirates" and "pirates" in the southeast and the Tatar invasion in Shanxi, we decisively took action to suppress it.
Although all the wealthy businessmen were killed or injured, we still lived up to the expectations of the court. We wiped out the 'Japanese pirates' and the Tatars, and also seized a large amount of gold and silver from them. Didn't this amount to more than two hundred million taels? silver,
I have always felt that the imperial court is very rich, so the question is, why do you officials from the Ministry of Revenue say that there is no money? "
