Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1511 Borrowing Money

"Your Majesty, I have visited Feng Quan, the former cabinet scholar. He is a man of great talent." Zhang Shenyan, the chief minister of the cabinet, paid homage to Zhu Changxun.

"Although he was once an eunuch, his shortcomings cannot be concealed. Now that the world has just decided, it is the time to employ people. We must not leave talented people in the wild. Please give your Majesty the details and grant permission for him to join the cabinet!"

Zhang Zhifa, Huang Shijun, Kong Zhenyun, He Fengsheng and others heard this and looked at me, and I looked at you.

Are you a Donglin Party member?

I’m not, great, neither am I!

Since none of us are members of the Donglin Party, this matter naturally has nothing to do with our family.

The four people remained silent, but Xue Guoguan had already jumped out and echoed.

Everyone knew this very well, and the people on the left and right were nothing more than King Shun's "putters".

Zhu Changxun was also unambiguous. Seeing this, he nodded and said: "It's accurate!"

Sure enough, not long after, a handsome man in his forties came in and thanked Zhu Changxun.

After finally finishing the trouble, Zhu Changxun was anxious to go back and said: "Gentlemen, if you have something to do, please report it. If nothing happens, you can leave."

"I'm new here. Although I don't know the situation in the court, I have something to say that I'm unhappy about!" At this moment, Feng Quan couldn't help but jump out and said.

"Speak!" Zhu Changxun responded stylized.

"Your Majesty, as the ninth emperor, has now ascended to the throne. Why has he been reluctant to hold the enthronement ceremony? Could it be that His Highness King Shun has a disobedient heart?" Feng Quan, the new cabinet minister, shouted sternly at Zhang Shun.

"Ahem...cough..." As soon as Feng Quan said these words, all the cabinet bachelors immediately started coughing again and again.

Do you think we don't know that he wants to work for Cao Cao, but there is nothing we can do!

At first, everyone pretended not to know, and you looked like a wise king, a saint, and a virtuous minister. But you, a birdman, insisted on exposing it. Is it not good for you to be King Shun's sword?

"Ahem!" Zhang Shun was not annoyed at all. He cleared his throat and said, "Master Feng only knows one thing, but not the other."

"I don't want your Majesty to come to the Ninth Five-Year Plan early and tell the world, but in fact it's just because you are short of money."

"When the king led troops to the capital, he found only tens of thousands of gold and silver in the inner ten treasury and the palace, which was not as much as the savings of an average-level common people's family."

"And if Your Majesty wants to be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the operating expenses alone will cost no less than two million."

"Not to mention the palace repairs, the selection of ladies, and the rewards for ministers. It is also important for the royal family to care about things, so it cannot be neglected easily, so it has to be postponed until now."

"How did your Highness deceive me?" Feng Quan couldn't help but sneered after hearing this, "I heard that your soldiers looted the nobles in the city a few days ago and got no less than ten million in gold..."

"Slanderous words, pure slanderous words. If my noble family really had a millionaire, and Chongzhen begged grandpa to sue grandma, how could he not get the money?" Zhang Shun refuted quickly and righteously.

"Nine out of ten of them are just gardens and courtyards, which cannot be converted into money or spent."

"We only have more than one million gold and silver, which is not enough to reward the three armies. How can we have the money to ascend the throne with His Majesty?"

"Uh..." Feng Quan didn't expect Zhang Shun to be so powerful in combat, and he actually said a few words to make himself speechless.

"Then...is there really nothing we can do?" At this point, Feng Quan obviously lost his previous arrogance.

"I can't help it. It would be great if I could make another three to two million yuan!" Zhang Shun also shook his head and said helplessly.

"Actually, I have a plan to ensure that your majesty will be in great glory and be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan!" Feng Quan saw that the heat was almost over, so he made a plan.

"Oh? What's the plan? Let's talk about it!" Upon hearing this, the academicians couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.

"This is a good matter. All we need to do is let the civil, military and official officials of the entire dynasty do what they can and voluntarily donate some silver coins, ranging from three to five hundred to as many as eight thousand. As long as there are one thousand people willing to donate, it will be completely Enough for His Majesty to ascend the throne..." Feng Quan couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Okay, okay, okay, let's do this now, retreat from the court, retreat from the court!" Zhu Changxun was already impatient and couldn't bear the many people arguing here, so he quickly ordered.

"Hey, Your Majesty, this is..." Kong Zhenyun quickly stopped him, but when he could not stop him, Zhu Changxun was able to run away in vain.

Until now, these great scholars in the imperial court still didn't understand why Feng Quan wanted to go against Zhang Shun?

These two people are clearly singing and playing double recitals here to trap themselves and others.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Kong Zhenyun couldn't help but said angrily, "It is not the way of a minister to allow a monarch to rob his ministers' property!"

"Mr. Kong, this is wrong!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head and smiled after hearing this.

"The imperial court has its own salary and other expenses. If it is really clean and honest, how many people in the imperial court are wealthy?"

"If you are really greedy for cruelty, it is not a pity to die unjustly. How can you be unjust?"

Zhang Shun's words immediately left all the great scholars speechless, and they could only shake their heads and sigh.

Not to mention what these people were thinking, Zhang Shun got the favor of Emperor Hongguang, so he immediately called Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and Geng Zhongming and said: "I am a thief; you are also big thieves, and no one in the world can eat your flesh." , Sleeperpi!"

"I've found a good job today, and I'm thinking of you three especially."

"I don't care about anyone who joins my new dynasty as an official. Those who seek fame and reputation and keep boasting about their reputation are the most hateful. Please three of you torture them for me."

"But there is one rule, I must abide by it."

"Only money, no life, no intrusion on women! Just these three items, have you remembered them clearly?"

"I remember!" Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and Geng Zhongming responded quickly, and then said with some difficulty, "I don't know... I don't know where to start with this matter?"

What kind of person is Zhang Shun? When he heard this, he immediately understood that these three people were not asking for advice.

He couldn't help but smile and said: "My pocket is cleaner than my face. Not only do I have no money, I also owe hundreds of taels of silver to go out."

"Let's do it like this. I'll go back and put it together. I'll come up with an integer first, and I'll have Gao Qiqian send it over later."

"Sin, sin!" The three of them muttered awkwardly twice before bidding farewell to Zhang Shun.

As soon as the three people left, Zhang Shun quickly ran back to the back hall and called out the fourth daughter Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu.

"You...you are too impatient, my sister...my sister hasn't gone to bed yet..." Tian Xiuying couldn't help but blushed and reminded in a low voice.

It turns out that Tian Xiuying's sister Tian Shuying is still young. Every time everyone does something for Duke Zhou, they always try their best to avoid this girl first.

"Ahem..." Zhang Shun coughed twice after hearing this, and then explained, "Today is business, business!"

"What's the serious matter, please tell me?" The four girls became more and more curious after hearing this. This guy didn't call everyone here just to announce the silver in the daytime, but what did he mean?

"Um...can you lend me some money..." Zhang Shun said with a confused look on his face.

"Pfft~" The four girls suddenly sprayed tea all over the floor, "You want to borrow money from us?"

Happy New Year everyone
