In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen sat on a stone chair, looked at Lin Fan indifferently, and said, "Did you really just search out 200,000 taels of silver from Chen Yan's home?"
Forehead……
Lin Fan was stunned and thought to himself: "Could Chongzhen already know that Chen Yan's family has three million taels of silver? If he knew, why didn't he go and ransack the house in advance?
Is it because you are too timid?"
"That's not right. If he is too cowardly, he won't be stupid enough to confront the eunuchs. No, hold on!"
Thinking of this, Lin Fan said: "Your Majesty, I did find two hundred thousand taels of silver from Chen Yan's home."
Chongzhen's fists were clenched now. This kid didn't have any respect for him. Moreover, his psychological quality was very good. If he refused to admit that he had three million taels of silver, there was really nothing he could do to him.
After all, you can't tell him that you can hear his heart.
"Lin Fan, after all, Chen Yan is also the chief minister of the cabinet. If he is really embezzled, these two hundred thousand taels of silver are definitely not his limit!"
"You have also seen that the situation in the Ming Dynasty is now in danger. Wu Sangui respected his troops and asked me for one million taels of silver before he was willing to bring his troops back."
"How about you go back and search to see if there is any money left at Chen Yan's house?"
Chongzhen said.
Lin Fan was speechless and complained in his heart: "Chongzhen is so stupid. Then Wu Sangui asked you for one million taels of silver. Are you really going to give it to him?"
"Yes! If you give it to him, he can indeed come back. However, with one million taels of silver, he can support the one hundred thousand army for at least half a year. During these six months, Wu Sangui can use any tricks to get another one million taels. Silver is not a difficult thing! This is equivalent to giving Wu Sangui an army of 100,000 troops!"
"After all, you are also the emperor. As an emperor, how can you be restrained by a general? Besides, aren't his parents and Chen Yuanyuan in the capital?"
"You just issue an imperial edict and ask Wu Sangui to lead troops back to guard the imperial city. Otherwise, you take his wife to Nanjing. See if he is in a hurry!"
"However, people say that Chen Yuanyuan and Chongzhen had an affair, but I don't know if it's true or not!"
When Chongzhen heard Lin Fan's heartfelt words, he simply wanted to tear Lin Fan's mouth to pieces. It was really damaging, every word was damaged to the extreme!
However, what he said was also true. Now Wu Sangui dared to ask for one million taels of silver from him. If he brought his troops back and defended the capital, wouldn't he want to make him a marquis?
This Ming Dynasty has never had a marquis since Emperor Taizu. However, the idea of letting him write an imperial edict and take his wife Chen Yuanyuan to Nanjing is really a wonderful idea!
Wu Sangui loved Chen Yuanyuan the most. If he couldn't come back, he would really dare to take him away.
"Your Majesty, I have searched Chen Yan's home. The Baihu Si Yamen is set up there. It can be seen that there is not a single cent of silver left in his home!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Chongzhen thought to himself, can't you find it?
Why did you set up the Yamen of Baihu Division there? Don't you just want to keep the secret of three million taels of silver?
"It seems that Chen Yan's ability is only average. You raided Chen Yan's whole family this time, found two hundred thousand taels of silver, and raised the salary for Jin Yiwei. It's a great achievement!"
