Princess Kunxing accused Zhao Peng, while pretending to cover her face and pretending to wipe her tears.

I have to say that Zhang Wuji's mother Yin Susu said something is right. Women all like to deceive people, especially the more beautiful women are, the more they like to deceive people. In fact, women are still born with drama masters and have talent for acting.

Zhao Peng never thought that Princess Kunxing, who is gentle and virtuous on weekdays, actually has the arrogance and willfulness of a royal princess. In fact, most of the princesses who are proud of heaven have various personalities, even Princess Kunxing, who is gentle, is no exception. Zhao Peng has no choice but to say good things and admit his mistakes.

"Okay, it's not your fault. It's also true that a man has a few concubines. But my mother wants to mourn her father and mother for three years. This year has not passed yet. It will take at least two years for us to get married. After getting married, my mother is not an unreasonable person. As long as my family agrees, you can bring Wu Xiaomei into the door." Princess Kunxing burst into tears and grabbed Zhao Peng's arm.

Zhao Peng took off the jade Buddha hanging on his neck: "Princess, I have always worn the jade Buddha you gave me. In my heart, your only favorite in your heart."

Princess Kunxing felt a fever, and she leaned her head on Zhao Peng's shoulder, tilted her head to look at her empty left arm: "My mother knows it in her heart. Although I am a royal princess, I am not a complete person after all. If I lack one arm, I am afraid that Zhao Lang will dislike it in the future."

Zhao Peng said: "How is that possible? You are the noble Princess of the Ming Dynasty. You will always be the most perfect princess in my heart. Let's go find your Emperor brother."

"I knew you were looking for my Emperor's brother when you entered the palace today." Princess Kunxing snorted, but unconsciously followed Zhao Peng. The two walked into the Qianqing Palace side by side.

Seeing that his sister and Zhao Peng came in, Zhu Cixuan saw that there was no one around, so he quickly stood up to greet him: "Emperor sister, brother-in-law, you are here, hurry up, please sit here. Anyway, there are no outsiders, they are all their own family, so there is no need to be restrained."

After Zhao Peng sat down, before he could speak, Zhu Cixuan couldn't wait to ask: "How much money did my brother-in-law get for me on this trip?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and got a total of 10 million taels of silver, 1 million taels of gold, and various jewelry and antiques, which are probably worth three to four million taels of silver." Zhao Peng stood up and replied respectfully.

The sum of the three items is about 24 million taels of silver. This number scared Zhu Ciyang: "Where did your brother-in-law get so much money? People say that in three years, the Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes, the corrupt official who joined the slaves could collect 500,000 taels of silver. This would have to be searched for dozens of families to collect so much? How could you confiscate your house on the Jiannu territory? Even if you can get so much money, how would you transport it back?"

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "I have only copied the money from my family."

"I only copied one? I can only copy so much money?" Zhu Cixuan was so shocked that he opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time. "Whose family belongs to is so rich that he can match the country?"

"The Pseudo-Qing Yan Shenggong." Zhao Peng replied lightly.

"You, you, you!" Zhu Cixuan stuttered and pointed at Zhao Peng, "You dare to touch Yan Shenggong. If this matter is spread, how can I face the scholars of the world?"

Zhao Peng took out a portrait and threw it on the table: "Your Majesty, please check it out. This is a portrait of the fake Qing Yan Shenggong."

Zhu Cilang opened the portrait and saw a portrait wearing a hat on the front and a crownless portrait on the side. The front was a guy wearing a Tartar official uniform. The image on the side was a big bald head with a money rat-tail on the back.

"Is this Yan Sheng Gong?" Zhu Cilang asked incrediblely.

"That's right!" Zhao Peng nodded, "Just like Yan Shenggong is like this now. He met Confucius a hundred years later. Your Majesty. Do you think that Master will know his descendants who became a pseudo-tartar?"

Zhu Ciyang thought for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Of course I won't recognize you! Who would like to have a Tartar in his descendants?"

"Isn't that enough? Yan Shenggong of the Northern Land has become Yan Shenggong of the Tartars, and scholars in the world will naturally not recognize him. Don't we have Yan Shenggong in Quzhou? He is the orthodox of the Yan Shenggong family!" Zhao Peng said with a smile.

"But so much gold and silver, how did you transport it back with brother-in-law?" Zhu Cixuan asked with interest.

Zhao Peng explained in detail how he defeated the local tyrants and divided the land and recruited civilians. On the way, he encountered the Green Camp and the Eight Banners soldiers separately. After listening to what Zhao Peng said, Zhu Cilang and Zhu Ma were worried when they heard it. It was not until Zhao Peng said that the navy fired a cannon and defeated the Eight Banners soldiers and the brothers and sisters who were in their throats that they felt relieved.

Then, Zhao Peng proposed to Zhu Cixuan: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty for an official position for a righteous man."

"Who?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"Zhang Cangshui, this person is Zhang Mingzhen's friend, both civil and military, and has a reputation as a scholar. Although he is a scholar, he is good at archery skills and is a rare talent. I beg Your Majesty to appoint him as Minister of War." Zhao Peng replied.

Zhu Cixuan said: "But the juren serves as the Minister of War, and the court has never been precedent. I can grant him a military position."

"Your Majesty, this person was originally from Ningbo, but he gave up his comfortable life in the rear and went deep into the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty. This is a loyal righteous man who is loyal to our Ming court! Your Majesty must not let down the hearts of the righteous man." Zhao Peng advised.

"But the court has no precedent for quoting people to be the Minister of War." Zhu Cilang said in embarrassment.

"That was a peaceful era on weekdays. As the chaos is coming today, it has entered a chaotic era. We should surrender talents without any restrictions!" Zhao Peng advised.

"Brother Emperor," Zhu Mai interrupted, "Sister thinks that Zhao Lang's words are reasonable. Brother Emperor, you should listen to him."

Zhao Peng took the opportunity to add another fire: "Your Majesty, I have a way to get tens of millions of taels of silver to fill it into the treasury!"

"Can you get tens of millions of taels of silver?" Zhu Cixuan was shocked.

"Yes, Shanxi merchants! These annihilation merchants of Tongnu are all rich enough to rival countries. If you catch them, you will get a handful of millions of silver in your family. If you catch them all in one go, why worry about not being able to find tens of millions of silver?" Zhao Peng said, "It's a pity that the Shanxi merchants also instigated the regent of the Tatars to search all the Hui merchants who cooperated with our Jinyiwei in the north! If the Tatars can copy us, can't we copy the Tatars?"

Zhu Ciyang nodded: "Of course, it's just brother-in-law, you're going to take the risk again? Check the property of Shanxi merchants. They are either on the territory of thieves or on the territory of Jiannu."

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "The old westerners on the thief territory may have been exhausted by Li Zicheng, right? The old westerners on the Jiannu territory are now Tartar merchants, all in the capital. No matter how capable I am, I dare not go to the capital to confiscate the property of the fake imperial merchants. I am talking about salt merchants. According to the information I have, there are many Shanxi merchants in Yangzhou, so we will catch them all in one place!"

Zhu Cixuan asked, "But they are just ordinary Shanxi merchants, not Fan Yongdou's group of Tartar Imperial merchants. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to attack them?"

"Although they are not Fan Yongdou's group, these old Ximen who live in Yangzhou also colluded with Fan Yongdou and others. Fan Yongdou's family is in Shanxi and has lived in Zhangjiakou for a long time. My Ming Dynasty has caused a drought and locust plague, and the crops are almost unharvestable. Fan Yongdou and others have food to sell to Jiannu. Your Majesty, think about it, where did these food come from? Didn't it provide them with the old Ximen in Yangzhou?" Zhao Peng reminded.

Zhu Ciyang finally made up his mind. He stood up and slapped the table: "Okay! Brother-in-law let go of his hands and do it well! I want to make these anti-age merchants who forget their ancestors pay the price! I will draft an edict now!"

It is still a master order that has not been drafted by the cabinet ticket. The procedure for obtaining an imperial edict with the cabinet ticket is complicated, and the interest relationship involved in the salt merchants is complicated. I don’t know how long it will take to go. For the Jinyiwei traveling and copying a group of traitors who surrender to the enemy and sell the country, it is enough to have the emperor’s master order.
