The taxes collected by the Chen State treasury last year were only 12 million taels, and two years ago, it was less than 10 million taels.
Therefore, when he heard the numbers reported by the Sword Captain, Chen subconsciously thought it was 30,000 or 300,000 taels, and a small Ezhou could collect 3 million taels of silver. He didn't even dare to think so in his dream.
When His Majesty asked, the Sword Captain had to repeat: This time, the property of the governor of Ezhou, Biejia and other officials were searched, and the tax silver paid by Ezhou merchants, totaling more than three million taels, and the remaining rare jewelry was estimated to be worth two million taels, totaling five million taels...
Five million taels of silver are worth half a year of tax silver
Emperor Chen walked forward quickly and said: Take me to see it!
The criminal in Ezhou was temporarily escorted to the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, and more than a hundred other carriages slowly drove into the palace city.
On a square in the palace, Emperor Chen looked at the convoy that could not be seen in front of him and waved: Open all the boxes!
A team of guards walked forward and tore off the seal of the box in the car. The moment they opened the lid, they were almost blinded by a silver light.
More than a hundred carriages, hundreds of boxes, full of silver, which made everyone even feel that the surroundings were brighter.
Even though the palace guards were used to the strong winds and waves, they had never seen such a scene. They stood beside the carriage, stunned.
Not only these guards, but also Emperor Chen
As the emperor, he had never seen so much silver, so many white silver shining with silver under the sun
Although he has more than tens of millions of taels of silver every year, it is just the cold numbers on the memorial, far less than the shock of three million taels of silver in front of him.
A small Ezhou can transport three million taels of silver back, so wouldn’t the entire Jiangnan be at least transported back to the tax silver for ten years in Chen State?
Now the pressure on the northwest has increased sharply. If the court has this money, would it be afraid that there would be no money to fight?
Just using silver can kill the barbarians in the Western Regions and the grasslands!
Thinking of this, Chen Huang licked his lips, his eyes burst into tears
Everyone was waiting for Emperor Chen to speak, and a little eunuch stood beside him, unable to help reminding him: Your Majesty, Your Majesty...
Emperor Chen finally came to his senses, thought for a while, and said: Ship all these silvers to the inner palace
The inner government is different from the national treasury. The silver from the national treasury is used in the world. The inner government is responsible for the daily application of the royal family. The silver from the inner government can be spent as much as the emperor wants. The silver from the national treasury cannot be used at will even the emperor.
Returning to the imperial study room, Chen Huang was walking in the hall, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
After a long time, he stopped, looked at the Sword Captain again, and asked: What else did Tang Ning ask you to bring?
The team leader said: Lord Tang also brought a letter to the people of the People of Ezhou, which contained signature handprints from the people of Ezhou. The book lists the evidence of local officials in Ezhou, ignoring the laws and regulations of the court, and conspiring to kill officials in the court...
Chen Huang said with a calm face: Come on
The Little Blade Team Leader respectfully handed over a handwritten letter
This memorial was written by Tang Ning himself, which clearly recorded the crimes of Ezhou officials. The last sentence was his guess that the poison of all things withered in Liang State would be in the hands of Ezhou officials. Tang Ning speculated that they might collude with the rebels in Jiangnan.
After a moment, Emperor Chen threw the memorial in his hand to the ground, his face turned completely gloomy, and he said angrily: They are so brave!

Jingzhao Prefecture
Zhong Mingli was handling official duties in the yamen room, and suddenly a yamen runner came forward to report that his wife and the lady arrived.
Zhong Mingli stood up and saw Chen Yuxian and Zhong Yisuru walking in from outside.
He walked out and said in surprise: Why are you here?
Chen Yuxian walked forward quickly and asked with concern: Did something happen to Ning'er?
Zhong Mingli looked at her and asked: Have you heard any rumors? Didn’t I say that you should stay at home these days and not go out to listen to those rumors that are catching up on the wind and shadows?
What are the rumors... Chen Yuxian looked at him and said angrily: The whole capital is saying that Feng Xiang and the others are going to force His Majesty to get rid of the slander ministers. Who is that slander? Are you talking about Ning'er?
Zhong Mingli said: You don’t have to worry if you have your Majesty protecting him.
Chen Yuxian said: They all said that it was because His Majesty protected him that Feng Xiang and the others would not give up. Ning'er was in Jiangnan, so there would be no danger, right?
Rest assured, Zhong Mingli looked at them and comforted: As long as he is not recalled to the capital, nothing will happen
Chen Yuxian heard the implication of his words and asked hurriedly: What if he was recalled to the capital?
Zhong Mingli opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything
Feng Xiangyi's army, for the sake of Jiangnan, had already been determined to cure Tang Ning's crime. If His Majesty had not protected him in a nearly evasive manner, he would have been recalled to the capital.
If he is recalled to the capital, it means that his Majesty has compromised in the face of the forced force of Feng Xiang and Jiangnan party.
After all, one is a young official who has just entered the officialdom, and the other is the largest party group in the court led by the right prime minister of the dynasty. It is clear at a glance which is more important to His Majesty and the court.
Zhong Mingli clenched his fists, but a deep helpless look appeared in his eyes. The confrontation at this level was far beyond the control of him, Jingzhao Yin.
Tomorrow is the deadline for the court to close, and a bloody storm will surely be around this matter in the court one day.
While Zhong Mingli sighed, the Ministry of Personnel, Fang Hong looked at a letter with a shocked face. At the door of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Jue opened the letter in his hand. After looking at it, a strange smile appeared on his face.
……
Above the Golden Palace
During the reign of His Majesty of the dynasty, he was extremely diligent. Except for the end of each year, there were few cases of going on a morning dynasty for ten days in a row.
All officials knew the reason for the recession this time. In order to avoid Feng Xiang and his wife's accountability, His Majesty simply lost sight of him and hid in the palace on the grounds of his illness. No one saw him. He tried to use this method to make Feng Xiang and others compromise.
But perhaps even His Majesty did not expect that his actions not only did not make Feng Xiang Cute want to retreat, but instead made him more determined to get rid of the emperor's favorite ministers. Today's court will probably become a battlefield again, and a scene of a dispute between the king and the ministers will be staged.
The morning court began, and all civil and military officials slowly entered outside the hall, lowered their heads and stood in the hall waiting.
A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Chen walked around from the back hall and sat on the dragon throne.
He looked down and said: What should I do today for you?
According to convention, after the emperor asked about this, the prime minister, who had the highest status among all officials, would report some major events. Then there were the six ministers. The officials, according to their rank and position, the music that should be played, what should be heard, and where to discuss, the emperor would let all officials discuss freely.
However, today, Wang Xiang took a leave, Feng Xiang did not say a word, and the six ministers also looked at the nose and the heart, but did not mean to stand up.
Most of the officials in the court kept silent at the right time. Everyone knew that today's morning court was the stage for Feng Xiang and His Majesty, and who else dared to interfere?
After a silence of the court officials, it was finally the turn of the six ministries to serve.
The official department minister took a step forward and bowed and said: Your Majesty, the governor of Ezhou and other officials have entered the capital. Tang Ning, the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, usurped his power and was lawless, making the entire Jiangnan chaotic and public resentment. I asked Your Majesty to call on him to recall Tang Ning back to the capital to question him!
The court officials looked up at the official department and gave a look. The official department and the official department and asked the official department to raise this topic again was the beginning of today's court dispute.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, another censor at the Censorate stood up and said: Your Majesty, Tang Ning, acting minister of the Ministry of Personnel, captured the Chief Censor who was in charge of the inspection without the permission of the court, and acted arbitrarily and despised the law and discipline. I beg Your Majesty to recall Tang Ning back to the capital to question!
I will discuss it!
Attached!
……
After inspecting the censor, more than ten people came out, with uniform voices
Feng Xiang has not taken action yet, and some officials of Feng Xiang's party have already had such momentum. If Your Majesty still insists on doing his own thing and waits for the Jiangnan Party to collectively force advice and finally fails to come to Taiwan, Your Majesty will definitely be His Majesty.
Zhong Mingli stood in the crowd, looking at these people, showing concern, Fang Hong looked indifferent, Xiao Jue's eyes swept across everyone's faces, remembering their names one by one in his heart.
In the Golden Palace, all officials need to bow their heads and report. No one dares to look up at the emperor, so no one sees it. At this moment, Emperor Chen looked at the eyes of the Jiangnan party in the hall, full of disgust.
Therefore, when he heard the numbers reported by the Sword Captain, Chen subconsciously thought it was 30,000 or 300,000 taels, and a small Ezhou could collect 3 million taels of silver. He didn't even dare to think so in his dream.
