I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 384 Excellent in both singing and composition

National affairs were discussed in the main hall.

The earlier verbal dispute seemed trivial and was quickly forgotten. Most of what the officials talked about was the war in the northwest, as well as this year's reduction in grain production and taxes in the south.

Some courtiers raised some difficult questions in public.

Everyone expresses their opinions and seeks solutions.

More than an hour passed like this.

However, most of the questions were thrown to the Ministry of Finance. The reason was that he asked the Ministry of Finance for money. They ask me for money, money, money! Who can I ask for money from? I can’t give you that much money even if I take my life.”

Emperor Mingcheng had a headache from the noise.

This is almost the norm. In the end, the argument was shelved because of lack of money.

At this moment, a young **** took out a stack of memorials, handed them to Ji Xiang's hand, and placed them on the dragon case.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty let the people below him quarrel.

He opened the top memorial.

After reading it, I saw Zhang Shilang with a bad look in his eyes.

The courtiers below noticed something was wrong, and the comments gradually became less frequent. Some officials also followed Emperor Mingcheng's gaze and secretly glanced at Shilang Zhang. They all speculated whether Shilang Zhang had done something to anger Emperor Mingcheng.

Zhang Shilang also discovered something was wrong.

Who is your Majesty staring at below?

If he hadn't been an official for so many years, he would probably have been forced to kneel down and beg for mercy under the oppressive gaze of Emperor Ming Cheng. Now there is still a trace of luck in his heart, praying that the person Emperor Mingcheng is looking at is not him. It's the officials in front of or behind him.

However, he was going to be disappointed after all.

"Ministry of Industry, Minister Zhang, Zhang Zhilu."

Emperor Mingcheng's words broke the silence of the hall, and also broke the hope in Zhang Shilang's heart.

Zhang Shilang stood up in fear, lifted up the hem of his robe with one hand and knelt down, "I am here."

"Cunyi Bank is your Zhang family's property?"

Emperor Ming Cheng said this again.

All the courtiers present were confused. Could it be that the Zhang family's bank had done something?

Emperor Ming Cheng didn't look simply angry, he felt like a storm was coming. It seemed that Emperor Mingcheng's next words would have someone drag Shilang Zhang out and behead him.

Emperor Ming Cheng really wants to kill people now.

How long had it been since he had just rewarded Jesus?

He was slapped in the face by the Zhang family so quickly. Where would his imperial majesty be when news of this incident spread? !

Zhang Shilang replied with fear: "Your Majesty, Cunyi Bank is the property of the Zhang family, and Cunyi is the title bestowed by the great ancestor."

The next moment, a memorial dropped in front of Zhang Shilang.

"Read it yourself, and then give me an explanation. I really want to know how dissatisfied your Zhang family is with me?" Emperor Ming Cheng said calmly and powerfully.

When Shilang Zhang heard this, he thought it was okay and was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "I am definitely not dissatisfied with Your Majesty. I have always been loyal to you. The sun and the moon can teach you."

Emperor Mingcheng did not respond.

After Zhang Shilang begged for mercy, he still picked up the memorial on the ground with trembling hands, opened it and looked at the contents. Just after looking at it once, Mr. Zhang's face suddenly turned pale.

Then, he spoke righteously and loudly: "Your Majesty, the content above is pure slander. Ever since I followed Taizu to conquer the country, my Zhang family has never had any second thoughts about the Great Xia Dynasty. What's more, the Zhang family has grown up in this land for generations. My deep affection for this land is no less than that of anyone present. I, Zhang Zhilu, dare to swear by my ancestors in front of me. If the Zhang family has any intention of betraying Daxia, I will be willing to cut off my descendants and never be reincarnated."

This is a serious statement.

Some people believe it, some people don't. But he is also a ruthless person who can swear by his ancestors and descendants. He was not afraid that his ancestors would be so angry that the coffin boards could no longer hold them.

Emperor Ming Cheng's attitude softened somewhat, "Okay, I believe you for the time being."

When Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief...

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty suddenly asked: "After Jifang donated tens of thousands of stones of food, the Zhang family began to suppress Jifang. Is this possible?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Zhang Shilang kowtowed and said with choked sobs: "My elders and parents died young, and my family has been separated for a long time. Since I entered the court and became an official, I have no family to rely on. I have always worked conscientiously and never interfered in my family's business. "

"But I don't believe it when it says that the Zhang family suppressed Ji Fang. Back then, when we assisted Taizu in conquering the world, the Zhang family saved a lot of money, but who in the capital doesn't know that there are many descendants of the Zhang family, and every now and then, another unscrupulous descendant is born. , The family business has been almost destroyed. Among the direct descendants, there is only one Cunyi bank left, and its business is half-finished. "

"Now that the Zhang family has long been in decline, how can we suppress anyone?"

Zhang Shilang burst into tears, but he still cried without making a sound. The act of wiping away his tears was very inspiring.

It's like being stabbed in a sad place.

Qin Chi stood still.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

After hearing what Zhang Shilang said, he just wanted to say that life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

First, he made an oath, and then mentioned that his ancestors fought against Taizu, which showed that the Zhang family was loyal to the Xia Dynasty. Then he talked about the decline of the family, and cried sadly.

Tears are not just a woman's weapon.

Sometimes when a man cries, it touches people's hearts even more.

No, the anger that originally arose in Emperor Ming Cheng's heart when he saw the memorial from the prefect of Huai'an has now been reduced by half without even realizing it. Then, Emperor Mingcheng looked at Qin Chi.

Before Emperor Ming Cheng spoke.

Qin Chi stood up first and said decisively: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"That's right." Emperor Mingcheng said.

Qin Chi spoke clearly and said in a calm tone: "I think what Shi Lang said is reasonable. In order to prove the innocence of the Zhang family, I suggest that your majesty hand over the matter to Jin Yiwei for investigation. Jin Yiwei is your majesty's people, so there is no need to worry about being investigated. , who dares to deceive the superiors and bend the law for personal gain?”

Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty has not yet spoken.

Zhang Shilang's body was shaken.

Many officials in the main hall wanted to say something: Don't offend Qin Qian if you offend anyone.

This man is really cruel!

If Jin Yiwei is asked to investigate, he will find out a lot of things, but no one present believes that the Zhang family can withstand the investigation.

Mr. Wen Ge frowned and said, "Even a trivial matter will trouble the Jin Yiwei. Is there no one available to me in the great Xia Dynasty? To put it bluntly, this matter is just a competition among merchants."

These words made Emperor Ming Cheng hesitate, who was about to agree.

This matter can be said to be big or small.

Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty thought it was a big deal. Isn't it a big deal that he was embarrassed?

However, in the eyes of these veterans, it is a trivial matter.

Qin Chi spoke slowly again: "Mr. Wenge, what you said is wrong. Just now Zhang Shilang swore that he would not betray Daxia. Even if I haven't read the content of the memorial, I can tell that it is not simple. It has already affected the safety of the country. Okay, isn’t it a big deal?”

Mr. Wen Ge looked at Qin Chi sharply.

After reaching his current position, no junior dared to refute his words. Qin Chi has now undoubtedly become the person Wen Ge Lao dislikes.

Those who do not respect their elders are useless.
