Before Li Hengbing came to the West Gate to conquer Xilang, King Lu and other groups had already arrived at the Ministry of Revenue.

Outside the Ming Gate, it was the gathering place for major yamen in the Ming Dynasty. Seeing these princes coming with angrily, the major yamen closed one after another, but the Ministry of Revenue was holding on.

King Lu, King Zhou and others rushed into the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue, and Chen Zhenqing had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Zhenqing did not dare to offend these vassal kings, so he took the seats with great politeness, served tea, and had delicious food and drinks.

The King of Liao waved his hand and said, "Stop doing this, Zhou Zhengyun said, Yuan Fu promised to give the money, hurry up and take it out."

Chen Zhenqing nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, Yuan Fu agreed. But the Ministry of Revenue is in financial difficulties, so the princes know that. In this way, the Ministry of Revenue squeezes out 50,000 taels first, you can overcome the difficulties first, and wait for summer grain..."

Bang

Before Chen Zhenqing finished speaking, the King of Liao jumped up and said angrily: "What? Only 50,000 taels? You gave me a beggar?"

"Thirty-eight thousand, one or two less!" King Zhou shouted.

"Hmph, if you don't give it to you today, I will demolish your Ministry of Revenue!" Zhao Wang said.

A group of princes slammed the table and shouted, and they were almost eating Chen Zhenqing.

Chen Zhenqing twitched his lips and explained reluctantly: "You guys, the capital has just been recovered and he wants money everywhere. The thieves are still eyeing the Northwest. The army needs money and food to suppress the bandits. There is really no more. This is raised by the Ministry of Revenue from outside, not taxes..."

"fart!"

King Xiang interrupted Chen Zhenqing and scolded: "Is this big world only 50,000 taels? Is it true that we are all beggars, and I will just give it up?"

"Let Chen Yan get out. There are so many princes here, and he doesn't even show his face. Isn't it too much for us?"

King Zheng stood behind Chen Zhenqing and said sinisterly: "We are vassal kings. The emperor is young. Do you want to bully our Zhu family?"

Chen Zhenqing was frightened by these words and his neck became cold. He quickly smiled and said, "The prince is joking. Anything that is easy to discuss is easy to discuss..."

King Lu sat on the chair and said coldly: "We don't force you, don't do this. Give us 200,000 today, and the rest will be all within three days. Otherwise, we will starve to death in front of the Qianqing Palace. Let's see what you do!"

Chen Zhenqing's mouth twitched violently. The scene was too cruel, and he didn't dare to think about it!

If such a thing happens, no one in the world will agree, and the Ministry of Revenue will be the first unlucky person!

Chen Zhenqing had a cold sweat on his head and said, "You guys, like this, you sit down for a moment, I will go in and discuss, and then find other yamen to squeeze in, so you can sit down..."

These princes were not willing to let go, and kept shouting, "We want to go in together, let's ask in person," and then they all rushed into the back hall.

Chen Yan and others kept hiding behind the door. Seeing that these people were about to rush in, they quickly turned around and ran away.

The same is true for the new right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Gao Hongtu. The two of them left the Ministry of Revenue through the back door, with different expressions, and they were not good-looking anyway.

Gao Hongtu has been dismissed from office for many years, but today he has realized the difficulties of the capital. He glanced at Chen Yan, lowered his head, frowned, his expression changed, and he was also thinking about solutions in his heart.

It is true that the treasury has no money, and it is true that the military pay cannot be misappropriated. The summer grain has not been collected yet, and these vassal kings cannot afford to offend them. What should we do?

Chen Yan's expression was unpredictable and he was extremely anxious. If these vassal kings were allowed to make trouble, the government and the people would definitely be in trouble. He, the Minister of Revenue, was already trembling and could not bear such turmoil.

Chen Yan couldn't figure it out, so he suddenly turned to Gao Hongtu and said, "Shilarious Minister Gao, you are in the Ministry of Revenue, shouldn't you put some effort into it?"

Gao Hongtu was stunned and said, "How should the lower officials do their best?"

Chen Yan glanced around and whispered: "You are the one who conquered Xibo. You can definitely borrow money when you seek Xibo. It doesn't matter how much, but you can respond in an emergency. If you don't know, then Zhou's ticket number is also the industry of Xibo. You are the one who conquered Xibo. You borrow 300,000 in the name of the Ministry of Revenue. No, 500,000, can you always borrow it?"

Gao Hongtu thought it was a good idea. After hearing this, his chest was almost bursting out. He closed his arms and had to go to Zhengxibo to ask for money? Aren’t you incompatible with Zhengxibo? How could you say it out?

Gao Hongtu said expressionlessly: "Sir, do you think if Zheng Xibo is willing to give it to him, can he wait until now?"

When Chen Yan heard this, he was also there. Zhou Zheng wanted to read their jokes, so how could he help them?

He frowned again and fell into deep thoughts.

At this moment, King Lu and others did not see Chen Yan in the back hall, and they were furious and threw cups and chairs around the Ministry of Revenue, cursing endlessly.

Chen Zhenqing was punched several times and hid out.

These princes were rampant in the Ministry of Revenue, looking for people everywhere, cursing, and even when they saw a good thing, they just put it in their arms, picked up the bigger ones, carried them on their backs and carried them.

At the same time, Li Hengbing listened to Zhou Zheng's words in Zhou Zheng's room.

Zhou Zheng put down his teacup and said, "I want all the vassal kings in the world to come to Beijing, and don't leave those in Beijing."

Li Hengbing guessed Zhou Zheng's intention and said, "This is not difficult. Using the excuse of 'discussing the salary of vassal kings', he summoned all vassal kings to Beijing. Except for Sichuan and other places, there is no problem. What do you want to do?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "You can take the first step first."

Li Hengbing couldn't guess thoroughly, so he had to say, "Okay. I still have a few vassal kings who surrendered to Li Zicheng. If someone wants to leave Beijing, I will hook them up and go to jail directly."

Zhou Zheng nodded without any hesitation and said, "A 'Qingfeng Operation' is being brewed in Shuntian Mansion, which is mainly aimed at those rascals and other illegal people. The Ministry of Justice must also take action. If there is insufficient staff, I will send someone to you."

Li Hengbing naturally knew that the prefect of Shuntian Zhou Fang was Zhou Zheng’s elder brother, and said, “Okay, I’ll go back and have a talk with the prefect of Zhou.”

Zhou Zheng tapped his fist on the table, looked up at Li Hengbing, and said, "It won't take long, there will be some trouble. The main thing is those censors, you have to find a way to clean up for me."

Li Hengbing's eyes flashed coldly and he said, "Has it started?"

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "What to start? Just do what I have to explain."

Li Hengbing knew that he couldn't ask what to say, so he left.

Zhou Zheng picked up a blank text and was preparing to write a memorial about military reform. Listening to Li Hengbing's footsteps, he was still pondering about this matter in his heart.

The vassal kings are so special that they will not agree to deal with it. They will not only be able to deal with it. They will not be able to do so. They will not be able to do so. They will not even be able to do so.

This is the "foundation of the country", one of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. Shaking the royal family means shaking the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty!

"There must be enough reasons." Zhou Zheng whispered to himself.

When Li Hengbing left the palace, the vassal kings also left the Ministry of Revenue. They took out a lot of things from the Ministry of Revenue, but there was not much money.

They cursed in anger, but there was no other way.

A group of people returned to the restaurant and began to think of other solutions. Then, they went out overnight and walked around the capital.

The next morning, there were more than 30 memorials, all of which were impeached the Minister of Revenue Chen Yan and others, accusing them of "treating the royal family and shaking the foundation of the country", "not being arrogant and unruly," "The royal family is hungry and cold, what is the world?" and so on.

These are all public memorials. The capital was noisy and suddenly became a hot topic. The entire capital was talking about this matter.
