Then, in front of all the civil and military officials, Zhu Youxiao became furious, spitting sweet things, pulled Wei Zhongxian out and scolded him severely.
The reason is simple: the emperor's internal funds were stolen.
Mr. Wei, as the chief ceremonial officer, the eunuch in charge of printing, and also the owner of the Dongchang factory, actually didn't even manage my internal funds properly.
The inner treasury of my Ming Dynasty is simply useless!
This is not just waste, this is simply waste.
Waste among waste.
Zhu Youxiao was extremely rude when he cursed, and everyone in the court was dumbfounded. They knew that the little emperor was young and easy to bully, but they didn't expect that the emperor could curse so harshly and so unpleasantly.
He scolded Eunuch Wei until he was sweating profusely.
Eunuch Wei himself looked confused.
This is the first time I have seen the emperor so angry. The money has been stolen. Does this have anything to do with me?
The most important thing is not the theft, but that I was scolded.
At that moment, he even felt as if he was about to fall out of favor.
Wait until Zhu Youxiao angrily announces his resignation.
Eunuch Wei already felt that his brain could not move.
The money was stolen. When was it stolen?
Quickly come to Zhang Haogu and ask if something went wrong.
Soon, Eunuch Wei calmed down.
Zhang Haogu didn't hide anything, and told the whole story about his plan with the Dog Emperor.
Eunuch Wei's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Brother Zhang, you are not being honest. Did you know that you were in the court just now, but you almost scared me to death on the spot!" Eunuch Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Haogu couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, I told our emperor that I want to remind you that our emperor said no, just to see that Eunuch Wei is afraid, so that it looks more real!
"
Wei Zhongxian: "..."
After a long while, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you know that our family is going to be scared to death!"
"Our emperor is rushing to produce other toads. It is rumored that this matter must be left to Eunuch Wei to handle!"
Zhang Haogu smiled and said slowly: "Spread the word, the more people know about it, the better. As soon as the time is right, we will take action against this toad!!"
Wei Zhongxian looked confused: "Can this thing really be sold?"
"Of course!" Zhang Haogu laughed and said slowly: "Don't worry, let the prince take care of this matter!"
This prince is Wang Tiqian.
He is considered Wei Zhongxian's younger brother.
Although he shamelessly betrayed Eunuch Wei later, he is still trustworthy now that Zhu Youxiao is the emperor.
At that moment, Wei Zhongxian didn't think much and just nodded: "Brother, if something happens to the Emperor, you always have to give me some air. Brother, I'm going to be scared to death!"
Zhang Haogu just smiled and said slowly, "Don't worry, father-in-law, if you have any questions, I will definitely tell you and I will never deceive you!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded.
He and Zhang Haogu can now be regarded as an offensive and defensive alliance.
If something happened to him, Zhang Haogu might not be safe.
…
…
Immediately afterwards, rumors began to spread.
Dongchang's service staff and Jinyiwei's service staff are still very reliable.
Isn't that just bragging?
Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty during the Taizu period, was said to have a cornucopia. In fact, there was a three-legged golden toad in this cornucopia, which could spit gold. It was through this cornucopia that Shen Wansan became the leader of our Ming Dynasty. of the richest man.
It's a pity that Shen Wansan still angered the Great Ancestor and was dealt with by the Great Ancestor. This cornucopia was originally going to fall into the hands of the Great Ancestor.
Speaking of which, this is a coincidence.
Shen Wansan knew that he would definitely die, so he immediately smashed the cornucopia.
From this, there are sixty-four three-legged golden toads. As long as these sixty-four three-legged golden toads are collected and arranged according to the order of the eight trigrams, the cornucopia can be re-formed.
How to identify this three-legged golden toad.
In fact, it is also simple.
This three-legged golden toad looks like the finest agarwood, but it can move and spit out gold coins.
Of these sixty-four three-legged golden toads, eighteen are in the palace.
This time, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao was furious because these eighteen three-legged golden toads were stolen.
You know, although this three-legged golden toad is broken into pieces, it will still have wealth after all.
Suppressing luck can make poor people rich.
In short, the news was transmitted in such an uproar that not only the people on the street, but also the civil and military officials in the court knew everything about it.
Of course, some people believe this kind of thing, and some people don't.
But as long as someone believes it.
Most importantly, a message was revealed.
If these eighteen toads are not brought back, Wei Zhongxian and Eunuch Wei will be finished.
As a result, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei all started to move. One by one, they wanted to dig three feet into the ground, and the whole capital was in a state of panic.
No matter what, we must find these eighteen three-legged golden toads.
Naturally, the story of Jin Chan and Shen Wansan quickly spread throughout the capital.
Each and every one of them is truly amazing.
For example, Shen Wansan has a cornucopia in his hand. There is a golden toad in the cornucopia that can spit out gold coins. On a full moon night, this golden toad will spit out millions of gold.
Back then, our great grandfather had no money, so Shen Wansan threw the cornucopia into the Qinhuai River, and saw the golden three-legged golden toad popping out of the Qinhuai River.
When he opened his mouth, he spat out endless coins. Only then did our great-grandfather have the money to make the Northern Expedition.
Overall, the story is basically complete here.
However, the later story was not so beautiful. Taizu was worried that Shen Wansan was too rich and was not conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so he killed Shen Wansan. As a result, the cornucopia was also torn into pieces and turned into sixty-four gold pieces. toad.
Stories still have noses and eyes.
It fits Zhu Yuanzhang’s character very well.
Although he had blackmailed Taizu, for Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Yuanzhang's good reputation could not be exchanged for money. As soon as he ascended the throne, he was asking for money everywhere, so Zhu Youxiao could only say "Taizu". I'm sorry.
If Grandfather Taizu was alive in heaven, he would probably forgive himself.
The entire capital was already in chaos.
For this reason, Eunuch Wei put the matter of Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen aside and searched specifically for these eighteen three-legged golden toads, which also attracted the attention of the Donglin Party.
Since Wei Zhongxian is looking for them, Wei Zhongxian must not be allowed to find these eighteen golden toads.
This damn old eunuch hasn't dealt with them for a long time.
The Donglin Party members are in full swing. Why doesn’t this dead eunuch know how to hang himself? Don’t you know that this dead eunuch is just a piece of rat shit?
We must take advantage of the emperor's rage to quickly bring down Wei Zhongxian, the dead eunuch.
