    Rubbing his swollen forehead and looking at Queen Zhang who was busy on the side, Emperor Tianqi smiled softly, pulled Queen Zhang into his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, there are always people in this world who are busy.  After finishing the matter, Baozhu, don¡¯t be busy, stay with me for a while!¡± Putting down the memorial in her hand, slowly stroking Emperor Tianqi¡¯s hair, Empress Zhang said softly: ¡°Your Majesty, although I said so, this is  Things have to be done! After all, the people of the world are involved, so there is no need to delay!" Slowly leaning his head on Empress Zhang, Emperor Tianqi said with emotion: "I wish Baozhu could stay with me like this.  "I will never leave you!" "Your Majesty, don't worry, whenever your Majesty needs it, I will always be by your side!" Queen Zhang seemed to have been used to Emperor Tianqi's loss from time to time, and slowly stroked Emperor Tianqi's hair.  , said comfortingly.  Sitting up straight, Emperor Tianqi waved to Chen Hong, who was not far away, and called him over!  "Your Majesty!" After saluting Emperor Tianqi, Chen Hongyou saluted Queen Zhang and then stood aside respectfully.  "Chen Hong, I ask you, how much money do I have in my inner treasury?" Thinking of his promise to Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi was also a little irritable, and his tone of voice naturally brought out some of it.  Seemingly aware of Emperor Tianqi's displeasure, Queen Zhang also showed a hint of worry on her face. She was extremely smart.  During this period of time, Yi Zhi had accompanied Emperor Tianqi to participate in political affairs, so he naturally understood the situation in the court.  The Ministry of Household Affairs has no money. Last year's taxes were only 3.2 million taels. This amount of money can be said to be a drop in the bucket.  The wedding of Emperor Apocalypse, the state funerals of the two emperors, military pay, disaster relief, and official salaries all used money from Emperor Apocalypse's inner treasury.  There are also some expenses that Queen Zhang doesn't know about. In short, Emperor Tianqi has been spending money like water in the six months since he ascended the throne.  Although she didn't know how much money Emperor Apocalypse had in his inner treasury, Empress Zhang also knew that Emperor Apocalypse's inner treasury was probably about to bottom out.  "Back to Your Majesty, in addition to the three million taels delivered to the Ministry of Household Affairs, His Majesty's wedding, the funerals of the two late emperors Shenzong and Guangzong, and the construction of the mausoleum for Emperor Guangzong, there are also military salaries from various places at the end of last year, as well as the money spent by Lord Xu Guangqi, from  Your Majesty has spent a total of money since he took the throne." Chen Hong also knew that saying this would definitely make Emperor Tianqi unhappy, but these things had to be mentioned, but Chen Hong's tone was cautious when he spoke.  He was afraid that Emperor Tianqi would be unhappy and use him as a punching bag.  After waving his hand to interrupt Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tell me any of this. If you can't get back the money you spent, just tell me how much money you still have in the inner treasury!" Emperor Tianqi knew in his heart that Emperor Taichang  Although it is said to be repairing the dormitory, the abandoned imperial mausoleum of Emperor Jing was used.  Firstly, there was no time, and secondly, the court really had no money.  If the imperial mausoleum is rebuilt, the money in the inner treasury will probably be reduced to 70%!  Even so, it costs a lot.  "Your Majesty, there are still eighteen million taels of silver in the inner treasury." Chen Hong reported a number slowly while looking at Emperor Tianqi cautiously.  He shook his head with a wry smile, patted his forehead gently, and allocated at least five million taels to Sun Chengzong.  If you want to build a larger navy and cavalry, you still need to add more money. It seems that making money is the first priority right now!  All the money in my inner treasury will be spent sooner or later, and then I won¡¯t be able to do anything at all!  "Let someone prepare five million taels first. I will use it in a few days!" Emperor Tianqi glanced at Chen Hong and said through gritted teeth.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Chen Hong immediately said respectfully: "Yes, the minister will do it now!" Although he didn't know what the money was for, this was not what he should ask.  Frowning slightly, Empress Zhang said with some worry: "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have asked. The money in the inner treasury is not much. These five million taels are not a small amount. Where will it be used?"  Huh?" Emperor Tianqi sighed deeply and said with a wry smile: "The Ming Dynasty is so big and there are so many places to spend money. I have no choice but to spend it where it can make money. I can't give it to you!  I don¡¯t feel comfortable with your grand wedding!¡± Only afterward did Emperor Tianqi realize how ¡°shabby¡± his wedding was.  The princes of previous generations had much more prestigious weddings than me, so I couldn't help but look at Queen Zhang with some embarrassment.  "What are you saying, Your Majesty? Emperor Taizu and Queen Ma definitely didn't have such a wedding back then, but who dares to say that Emperor Taizu is not a good emperor? Who dares to say that Queen Ma is not a good queen? I believe that your Majesty will definitely become a  A good emperor, a wise emperor, I must also work hard to be a good queen!" Queen Zhang said with a serious smile.  "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei is here!" Just when Emperor Tianqi wanted to do something, Chen Hong, who had just left, walked in again.The emperor's side said respectfully.  Frowning slightly, Emperor Tianqi said unhappily: "Wei Dynasty? He still has the nerve to come to see me. He, the governor of Dongchang, doesn't know what he did!" He glanced at the man standing there.  Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi said solemnly: "Let him come in!" It was not long. Chen Hong led Wei Chao and walked in slowly. At this time, Wei Chao's face was not good. It was obvious that his life was difficult during this period.  Not easy either.  There was just a hint of joy in his eyes, something good must have happened.  "The ministers of the factory are here to see the emperor, long live my emperor!" Wei Chao came to Emperor Tianqi, picked up his clothes, knelt on the ground, and said loudly.  Looking at the Wei Dynasty kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi spoke for a long time: "Get up! Eunuch Wei is living a good life!" Emperor Tianqi's voice was very flat, and he could not hear the slightest emotion, and he didn't know.  Is it joy or sorrow.  "Your Majesty, I am guilty!" The Wei Dynasty could naturally hear Emperor Tianqi's dissatisfaction, and it was no wonder that Emperor Tianqi had such an attitude. Since Emperor Tianqi came to the throne, he has given the Wei Dynasty countless opportunities, but Dongchang has not made any decent achievements.  Even if Emperor Tianqi didn't say it, Wei Chao would still feel unhappy.  Frowning and waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said expressionlessly: "Okay, I know your loyalty, but you must have a demonstrable achievement, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public! Jin Yiwei's side is in Liaodong this time  Another major case has been solved. Dongchang and I are much closer. It¡¯s always like this, and I can¡¯t help but feel guilty!¡± ¡°I deserve death!¡± Wei Chao lowered his head and said with a look of shame.  .  After gently waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi continued: "You probably didn't come here to be scolded. Tell me what you have to say! I hope it's a good thing, otherwise I will be really disappointed in you!" "Your Majesty, yes.  Good thing! The matter in Liaodong that His Majesty told us has been revealed!" Wei Chao said with joy as he handed a memorial to Chen Hong.  Putting the memorial handed over by Chen Hong on the table, Emperor Tianqi said noncommittally: "Tell me about it! Let me see what you have found out!" "Your Majesty, a lot of wages and food in Liaodong are supplied by the local government.  They were all under civilian control. The ministers' people conducted investigations in many places in Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Jinzhou. Compared with Shaanxi, the soldiers' fields were not occupied in the Liaodong campaign, and there was a lot of unowned land in Liaodong.  , So this is not the main problem." After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Wei Chao bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice.  Waving his hand to interrupt Wei Chao's words, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "I know all this, let's talk about the key points!" Liaodong has been in war for years and the population has dropped sharply. Naturally, no one has invaded the fields.  There is no way to cultivate a lot of fertile land, let alone land encroachment.  This is exactly the opposite of Shaanxi and Shanxi. Although they face Mongolia there, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have not had a large-scale war for many years, so the situation there is naturally different.  "Yes, Your Majesty! After our people from the East Factory made secret inspections, we found that many local officials in Liaodong have problems. These people are embezzling military pay, deducting food and grass, and some have connections with people in the capital. They even smuggle and collaborate with the enemy, and engage in illegal trading.  These people will do anything! Please give me permission to arrest people and search their homes, and then investigate!" Wei Chao's face was filled with cold light at this time. He has never been merciless in killing people. Now that he has such an opportunity, he will not do it this time.  Let it go.  Jinyiwei's people have already done it again, and Dongchang is naturally unwilling to be left behind.  Nodding slowly and looking deeply at the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Tianqi said quite seriously: "I hope you are indeed telling the truth, and you are not wishing to be a good person just because you are competing with Jin Yiwei for credit. Now you tell the truth, I don't  Blame you! If I don¡¯t tell you now, do you know what your fate will be like? You should know how Liu Jin died. I will do it!¡± Wei Chao¡¯s body suddenly became excited. Of course he knew Liu Jin was.  How did he die? Ling Chi, who had three thousand six hundred swords!  I kept cutting for three days.  His legs went weak. Wei Chao immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although the factory officials are a little stupid, they are loyal to the emperor! The factory officials cannot do such a thing. When the news came to the capital, the factory officials  After confirming again and again, I dared to report to His Majesty. Your Majesty is aware of it!" Emperor Tianqi nodded with satisfaction. Emperor Tianqi could see that Wei Chao was not lying. He said with a calm face: "You'd better remember what you said today. I'll do it first!  If what you say is true, who are you going to send over this time? Are there any experts in this field in Dongchang? " "Your Majesty, there is! There is a eunuch named Wang Chengen in Dongchang. He has a calm and alert personality.  He is a talent!" Wei Chao saluted Emperor Tianqi and said a name that Emperor Tianqi was familiar with!  "Wang Chengen? Wasn't he a eunuch from the palace before? I remember he was the general manager of the palace? Why is he also from Dongchang?" Emperor Tianqi looked at the Wei Dynasty and said with some disbelief.  (To be continued.
