If someone is held on his neck by a knife, anyone will have the idea of ​​trapping beasts and fighting.

This is true for Wei Zhongxian back then, and so is Xu Wenjue now.

When Wei Zhongxian asked the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu, who was afraid of being the resolute army to support the king. Now Xu Wenjue is looking for Xin Chengbo and other Nanjing nobles, but everyone can't find an army that can be used.

As the Crown Prince said, the three hundred guards of the Nanjing Army solved the Nanjing Camp. All the soldiers were pulled out of the city and sent to Huaibei to commander Yuan Jixian, mainly responsible for road construction and mining.

In addition, the closest thing to Nanjing is the only Zhejiang Ministry of State Security.

If the honorary and relatives really control the crown prince and fight against Beijing, Fang Guoan, a warlord who is about to be demoted, might really take the risk of working with them.

But the people under control are their nobles who cannot carry their hands and cannot be raised. The crown prince occupies Nanjing City, which is high and wide in the city, and has elite tigers under his command. Does Fang Guoan have the courage to rebel?

"Their masters are really fragile and can't speak out." Zhu Cixuan did not hide anything in front of the officials of the East Palace: "As the country has developed to this day, they are actually purely dispensable people. But they can't tell the situation clearly, and they actually mingled with the civil servants to fight against my Tian family! I still have to worry that no one will do the job. Even if they really take them down, will there be any hindrance to the country!"

After becoming Xunqi, Xunqi only took up the position of the Governor's Office of the Five Army and was admiring the Rongzheng of the Jingying, at most he would go to sacrifice to the emperor during festivals. The Nanjing team was originally redundant, and the Nanjing Jingying had been completely abolished. What's the use of keeping them?

If I had a clear mind and stood beside the crown prince, shaking the flag and shouting, the crown prince would not have done too much for the hearts of his subordinates. He just ate the soul of those civil officials. He thought that his generation of honors was also considered a celebrity, and looked down on the Zhu family, a nouveau riche.

These officials in the East Palace were outstanding among the sacrificial people. Lu Suyao carefully selected them one by one and was about to send them to Xinsheng to serve as officials. Recently, they often appeared in front of the crown prince. They were also familiar with each other and conducted the final "training" before the outspoken. After hearing the crown prince's words, everyone secretly woke up and decided that the big tree of the crown prince was more important than anything else.

"Now all public opinion positions are opened, aiming at two serious crimes: the source of huge assets is unknown, and the privately-owned family members and dead soldiers are planning to commit crimes." Zhu Cixuan stood in front of everyone: "Don't miss any of them in the death penalty!"

Everyone was excited and knew that there would be another long holiday after this battle, and it would probably affect the future of the official position.

"Quyuan Zatan" was the first to fire, starting with Xu Wenjue, Duke of Wei. While listing his own property, he also compared the property obtained from the search and inspection.

The difference between the two is nearly a hundred times!

This is just the movable property obtained by one government. The other real estate is not considered ironclad because of the famous contract of Tianpi Tiangu, but one thing is certain that any land that is not under the name of the Xu family will never be owned by the family in the future.

How to explain the difference between the two? The Duke of Ming Dynasty had a maximum salary of 5,000 shi, and the minimum salary was only 2,500 shi. How many generations would it take for the Duke of Wei State to accumulate such a large family business? Do Xu Wenjue dares to say that his family still has a computer room, a silk shop, a sea trade income, and a free salary of soldiers?

Even if you dare to say it, it will be too late.

In addition, various local tabloids under Tian Cunshan's control also followed suit, all of which skinned the greed of these honorary relatives. Many tabloids established in this anti-princeling storm changed their previous arguments and also criticized the honorary relatives from the perspective of justice of the country and court, forcing the Jiangnan Shilin newspaper to follow the trend, otherwise they would not be sold out.

Although the owners of Jiangnan Newspaper do not care about reporting money, their view on sales is influence. A decline in sales means a decline in influence. This is something they cannot tolerate. Burning so much money is not the only thing they want?

At this moment, they really felt that there were more people who could read, which seemed not a good thing. Not only did their power not grow, but the crown prince became stronger and stronger.

On March 16, 20th year of Chongzhen, the crown prince basically completed the search of the nobles' homes and property. Because these honorary relatives themselves, like the Tian family, adhere to the system of inheritance of the eldest son, the zodiac must be the most powerful branch in the clan. With this zodiac as the program, the list of relatives far and near and their property can be easily sorted out.

To do it, you must do it thoroughly. No one within five servings can escape.

During the entire operation, Zhu Cixuan collected gold, silver and jewelry, Tian Qi and body certificates, securities - shares, dividends and bonds of many commercial banks - the total profit amount was more than 20 million taels. Moreover, this number was only a guaranteed number, and was calculated based on the starting price of gold, stone, antiques, calligraphy, painting, jewelry and other objects.

On March 18, a unique banquet was held in Fengtian Gate, the imperial city of Nanjing.

Those who participated in the banquet were "shareholders" of the Maritime Conduct Department from all over the country. Except for the Maritime Conduct Department in Liaodong, all belonged to the imperial court. From Tianjin to southern Fujian and Guangdong, all those who paid for the Maritime Conduct Department to purchase the Maritime Conduct Department's shares received invitations when the Crown Prince was in Fengyang, so that they had enough time to arrive in Nanjing and participate in the grand event.

The first half of the banquet is like the traditional monarch and the people who have fun together, but the meal is really simple, which is in line with the reputation of the crown prince being stingy.

However, the second half made people rush and breathe rapidly.

More than 5,000 rare treasures were placed on the booth one by one, and these shareholders were allowed to view them. These were treasures collected by Xunqi Family for more than a hundred years or even more than two hundred years. If you put them out one or two pieces out, you can sell them at a sky-high price.

As for many small items, such as the fan-maker Shen Shaolou, the famous fan, is even sold at ten pieces, with a starting price of only twenty taels, which is half the market price. However, such products of this grade cannot even be on the table, but they are just placed around the banquet, which does not attract people to bid at all. They are almost sold at the starting price and are taken back to send children.

In order to dispel the buyer's concerns, Zhu Cixuan also arranged for eunuchs who knew the affairs of the inner palace, as well as shopkeepers of famous merchants in Nanzhi and Zhejiang to come for identification. Each treasure has a document of the same origin, with a rare official seal of the National Museum printed on it.

"This is the jade Guanyin that Myanmar paid tribute to the Tianshun period of Myanmar. Its texture is like ice, glutinous, translucent and thick, but it is just like carving, which is not as skilled as a famous Chinese craftsman. However, this thing is kept at home and does not eat, so if it weren't for this change, I wouldn't have been obtained by outsiders." A middle-aged scholar talked to a jade Buddha, and a group of rich tourists gathered around him, and he was fascinated by him.

"Then how much silver is this Guanyin worth?" someone asked.

"Five hundred gold is like picking up treasures. If I ask me to take action, I will be willing to give up three thousand gold." The scribe said leisurely: "If there is a lay Buddhist who believes in Buddhism, it will be even more amazing. This is a male Guanyin, which is not without it in my Middle Earth, but it is really rare."

"Three thousand golds are too expensive... By the way, what do you call me sir?" someone asked again, and he felt aroused from making friends.

"In the next step, Zhang Baosheng."

"I will pay three thousand gold!" Someone heard Zhang Lianfang's name and immediately shouted a quotation.

As soon as the offer was released, someone immediately surrounded him. The more expensive the thing is, the more popular it is, the higher the price can naturally be raised.

Several other people who didn't know Zhang Baosheng's name were afraid that they would miss the treasure, so they also increased the price by 3500 taels.

Chen Tingyang was in the middle of it at this moment. Because his mother believed in Buddhism and practiced the Guanyin method, she wanted to win it quietly at a starting price of 500 gold, but she watched the jade Guanyin call 8,000 taels all the way. Even if he controlled the Sand Boat Gang, he could not spend a lot of money to this extent.

——Most of them are salt merchants from Lianghuai.

Chen Tingyang shook his sleeves, withdrew from the crowd, and went elsewhere to observe. As the first capable general of the Crown Prince, the founder of the Shandong Naval Division, and the priest of the Huangming Naval University, the crown prince wanted to establish the Maritime Department in Shanghai, so he naturally would not forget his contributions.

Unlike others, Zhu Cilang clearly stated to him that Maritime Corporation would not be placed among the public in the future. Now he is allowed to invest in dividends, but he is just grateful to his previous donations for the country.

In fact, this is impossible. At the beginning of the cooperation, Zhu Cixuan offered the condition that the Shen family could use the technology of the Technical College for free. However, now this Technical College has been established for three years and is divided into two universities, Huangming Jingshi University and Technical College, but the real skills that can be shown make people blush.

Even if the steam pump brought by Shen Tingyang this time, the crown prince felt that it was suspected of fooling people.

This thing does have practical uses and can drain the accumulated water in the mine more quickly. However, it is far from enough to cause a drastic change in productivity.

"This kind of jade is not valuable in Myanmar, and the carvings are also average. Why should the general regret it? In the future, someone asked someone to find a good species from Myanmar and let the domestic craftsmen use their swords, which would be priceless." Zhang Baosheng, who had just prompted the increase in the value of the jade Buddha, walked to Chen Tingyang and smiled happily.

Chen Tingyang smiled reservedly and said, "Mr. Zhang knows Chen?"

"I know a little bit." Zhang Lianfang said: "But the key is still there."

Chen Tingyang followed Zhang Lianfang's instructions and looked around. He saw a young man in a blue Taoist robe smiling at him. When he looked closely, he found that it was the crown prince himself and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"The things here are for fun for the mercenaries." Zhu Cixuan said: "If Mr. Wumei is willing, please follow me to the palace and let Mr. Baosheng tell you well."

Zhang Lianfang was full of energy and was extremely excited.

His understanding of antique treasures has reached a level. He will not regard these treasures as his own things like a wealthy slave. He only thinks he is a person who is in charge and feels the accumulation of history and culture and the enjoyment of beauty from it. After he became the director of the National Museum by the Crown Prince, although he has been delayed in opening the museum, he has seen countless treasures, living in happiness every day, and even eating much more.
