It was at this time that the emperor ordered more than 20 million taels of silver to be transferred to the national treasury, and the news that what entered the royal private treasury was only some jewelry and jades spread.
When everyone heard this, on the one hand they were horrified that Lu Wenyang had embezzled tens of millions of taels of property, and at the same time they were deeply impressed by the emperor's behavior of not competing with the court for profit.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is a wise king, and there is hope for the revitalization of our Ming Dynasty!"
Chu Yi is really not worried about the safety of the more than 20 million taels of silver that are being escorted to the Hubu Bank. This is the capital. Several elders are personally in charge, plus Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and thousands of soldiers are escorting them along the way. If someone
If you dare to jump out and steal money, then you can only say that the other party is really not afraid of death.
With so many soldiers here, even if an innately strong man jumped out, he would probably lose his life but not his life.
Chu Yi escorted hundreds of carriages towards the palace. Although the jade and jewelry were estimated at more than 10 million taels, it was not obvious if one or two pieces were given, but if added together, it would be quite heavy.
It took hundreds of vehicles to haul these things.
Of course, these jade, jewelry and the like are not entirely Lu Wenyang's collection. Some of them were confiscated by Chu Yi from Jiangnan, and now they are all escorted here.
According to the emperor's wishes, these jade and jewelry were to be sent to the royal treasury.
Zhu Houzhao, who had received the news in advance, rushed to the palace from the Leopard Room himself.
The royal inner treasury is built under a main hall in the palace. The royal inner treasury is quite spacious. The royal inner treasury is naturally the place where royal treasures are stored, not just gold, silver and jewelry, but also some rare treasures and precious medicinal materials.
As long as weapons and the like can be classified as treasures, they are actually eligible to be included in the royal treasury.
Zhu Houzhao, accompanied by Gu Dayong and several other chamberlains, saw Chu Yi escorting carriages from a distance. Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up as he looked at the long carriages.
If it weren't for the emperor's majesty that made him try to stay calm, Zhu Houzhao might have been unable to suppress himself and rushed forward to greet him.
Chu Yi stepped forward and saluted Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Chu Yi, has lived up to your majesty's trust. All the jade and jewelry confiscated in Lu Wenyang's mansion are here. Please inspect them!"
While speaking, Chu Yi presented an account book. Zhu Houzhao took the account book from Chu Yi and flipped through it. The number and approximate value of these jade and jewelry were listed in detail.
Nodding slightly towards Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "But I have a great companion!"
The next step was to move these things into the inner storehouse, and saw a famous Ouchi soldier carrying a heavy box into the inner storehouse.
Not everyone can enter the royal inner treasury casually, but Chu Yi entered the inner treasury together with Zhu Houzhao.
In the royal inner treasury, rows of boxes are arranged neatly. Most of these boxes are sealed with stickers, and there is an introduction to the contents of the box.
For Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao naturally had nothing to hide. He pointed at the boxes and said to Chu Yi: "In Da Nei's private treasury, after so many years, I have barely accumulated more than ten million taels of silver."
Zhu Houzhao said with a bit of self-deprecation and anger: "The royal family has only accumulated more than ten million taels of silver for so many years, but Lu Wenyang actually embezzled tens of millions of taels of silver in less than ten years.
The great rat of the country is really the great rat of the country. I really don’t know how many great rats there are like Lu Wenyang!”
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao stared at Chu Yi with a strange brilliance in his eyes and said, "Daban, do you think there is a huge greed like Lu Wenyang in this world?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's reaction, Chu Yi couldn't help but cough slightly. This master must have become obsessed with confiscating homes. This is not a good sign. If he is really obsessed with confiscating homes and exterminating clans, he might become a violent man in the future.
host.
"Your Majesty is overthinking. No one in the world can match the convenience of Lu Wenyang. He is guarding the Grand Canal, so it is quite amazing that Lu Wenyang can do so much. If you really want to say it, there is no one in the world who can match the convenience of Lu Wenyang.
I dare not say whether there are others like Lu Wenyang, but even if there are, I'm afraid there are only one or two at most."
Zhu Houzhao actually knew in his heart that there would never be many greedy people like Lu Wenyang. If there were just a few more Lu Wenyang, the world would really be doomed tomorrow.
As a box of jade and jewelry were delivered into the inner treasury, Zhu Houzhao's heart calmed down. He also knew that something was wrong with his mentality just now, so he smiled at Chu Yi and said, "It made the big companion laugh.
.”
Chu Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is really joking. It is just human nature to say that Your Majesty has such thoughts. However, as a minister, I have to advise Your Majesty. It seems that you must not raid your house too much. Otherwise, as a minister
You will definitely be in panic all day long, and it may even lead to tragedy!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "I have taken note of what the great companion said!"
An emperor who is always thinking about confiscating his ministers' property will never give his ministers any sense of security and belonging, which will lead to extremely terrible consequences.
Chu Yi is different from Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, but Chu Yi is just a eunuch favored by the emperor in the eyes of the world. Even if Chu Yi confiscates the family and exterminates the clan, at least it will not affect the foundation of the emperor.
No matter how much those ministers scolded him, the most they could do was scold the emperor for being fatuous. Even if they had murderous intentions, they only wanted to kill Chu Yi, but they would not think about killing the emperor and establishing a new one.
Therefore, there are some things that powerful ministers can do, but the emperor cannot do.
Looking at the jade and jewelry, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face: "I have made some contributions to the royal treasury, but I would rather these things were not stolen!"
Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that I once mentioned to you that I wanted to give you a gift?"
Hearing Chu Yi mention this, Zhu Houzhao looked slightly dazed, looked at Chu Yi with a smile on his face and said: "Of course I haven't forgotten it. It's been so long, but my companion has never mentioned it.
I thought I had forgotten about it."
Chu Yi thought of the almost completed gift, smiled slightly and said: "If you give me a few more days of hard work, I will definitely give you a surprise for your majesty."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said with a bit of anticipation: "Oh, since my partner said that, then I will wait for the surprise that my partner will give me!"
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Seemingly thinking of something, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "Come with me, great companion!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao leading Chu Yi to the foot of the underwear, Chu Yi smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine from a distance. When he walked closer, he found that there were various precious things neatly arranged in this area.
And rare medicinal materials.
There are at least dozens of kinds of ginseng, fine Polygonum multiflorum, Tianshan snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials that have been used for hundreds of years. Any of these medicinal materials can become a treasure that many famous doctors regard as treasures, and in this royal family
There is collection in the inner treasury, so much has been accumulated.
Even Chu Yi was amazed when he looked at these precious medicinal materials, which shows that the royal family is definitely the strongest force in this world.
With a bit of a smile, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "I heard from people that if there are precious medicinal materials, it will be very helpful to practitioners. I just thought that if Daban practices, these medicinal materials will be helpful to Daban."
It’s on, just take it.”
Chu Yi was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao would let him use these medicinal materials to practice. To be honest, some of these medicinal materials were really helpful to his practice.
But at most it is helpful. It is unrealistic to really rely on these medicinal materials to make your cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds.
Perhaps those who are just starting to practice can use these medicinal materials to speed up their practice, but for Chu Yi, whose cultivation has reached the innate realm, the power of these medicinal materials is no longer enough to support him in making major breakthroughs, so these medicinal materials
It's like useless to him.
However, looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, Chu Yi knew that this was Zhu Houzhao's intention. If he rejected it outright, he would be disappointed by Zhu Houzhao, so Chu Yi smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for that."
Sure enough, seeing that Chu Yi did not refuse, Zhu Houzhao showed a bit of joy on his face, waved his hand and said: "You can take whatever you like, but if it is not enough, I will order to collect precious medicinal materials for you."
Chu Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that's enough. In fact, for me, no matter how many medicinal materials are used, they are of little use. I only need to take a few of them and that's enough."
As he spoke, Chu Yi stepped forward and took two high-quality long white ginseng plants that were over a century old, and then took a few snow lotus flowers, and finally a few ganoderma lucidum flowers.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Chu Yi stop and said: "Daban, are you going to take these?"
Chu Yi chuckled and said, "These are enough."
Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi and said, "Well, I thought these medicinal materials could help Daban, but it seems Daban really doesn't need them."
When all the jades and jewelry have been put into the inner treasury, the eunuch in charge of the inner treasury will lead the eunuchs to click through and then seal the inner treasury door.
Chu Yi said goodbye to the emperor, but went straight to Dongchang.
An independent courtyard in Dongchang has always seemed quite mysterious. Everyone only knows that Wang Zheng, who is in charge of this place, has recruited many skilled craftsmen to go in. It is so mysterious that no one knows what he is doing.
When Chu Yi entered the yard, he saw dozens of craftsmen concentrating on what they were doing, but Chu Yi's eyes were attracted by the scene above a huge lake specially dug out in the yard.
Attracted to the past.
