Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 490 Chen Ce, You Are Too Crazy
Chen Ce was thinking about the construction of a money house in his mansion on Zhengyang Street.

The ports in Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian should focus on setting up money houses. The coastal ports in Shandong should also set up money houses.

Regardless of whether the Ming Dynasty reforms its currency or not, it is necessary to set up money shops. Money shops should be set up in advance. When Hong Zhong sails to the West next year and establishes trade relations with various maritime countries, currency exchange will inevitably be used.

From now on, the Ming Dynasty should ban private money houses and establish a national system of money houses, which is the banking system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's credible currency also needs to be established as soon as possible. Although the Ming Baochao was implemented during the Hongwu period and later became rampant, Chen Ce still plans to put paper money on the market.

It’s just that the recycling of old banknotes, the quality of banknotes and their anti-counterfeiting design all require careful design.

Chen Ce was in his study room thinking seriously about the future monetary system of the Ming Dynasty. Then a maid found Chen Ce and said to him, "Master, someone outside wants to see you."

Chen Ce hummed and asked, "Who is it?"

The maid said, "It is said that it is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Mr. Liu, and the former Imperial Censor, Mr. Liu."

Chen Ce knew why Liu Jian and Liu Daxia came. It was nothing more than that their son was beaten beyond recognition. Chen Ce waved his hand and said, "Tell them that I am not in the mansion."

"Here."

……

Liu Jian and Liu Daxia were really angry. Chen Ce's behavior was too arrogant!
"Lord, I heard from the inspector that the people who helped Chen Ce beat them were from the inner factory."

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "People from the inner factory? Why would the inner factory help Chen Ce?"

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Come with me to the palace!"

Given Chen Ce’s current status, the Ministry of Justice probably wouldn’t dare to touch him, but as his father, they want to ask Chen Ce for an explanation on this matter. Since Chen Ce is a coward, they will go to the emperor!
"it is good!"

Liu Daxia followed Liu Jian and walked quickly towards the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was summoning all officials to hold a grand court meeting in the Fengtian Hall. Although Chen Ce had proposed the idea of ​​establishing a money house, there was no specific plan yet. Emperor Hongzhi brought up the matter in advance and discussed it with the officials of the six ministries of the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, Elder Liu is here."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned. Didn't Liu Jian go back to live in retirement? Why did he come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity again?

Although Emperor Hongzhi was reluctant to meet Liu Jian, he was still the chief minister of the cabinet after all, so it was not easy for Emperor Hongzhi to refuse openly.

If there were not so many court officials in the Fengtian Hall today, Emperor Hongzhi might have chosen to not meet Liu Jian, but that was obviously not possible now.

"Declarate it."

After a while, Liu Jian and Liu Daxia came to Wuying Hall together. Looking at the two of them, Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

All the officials in the hall looked at Liu Jian and Liu Daxia in confusion.

"Old minister, see the emperor!"

Liu Jian opened his mouth, and then he said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me."

Emperor Hongzhi asked in confusion, "Master, if you have something to say, please speak slowly. Why are you crying? What's going on? What happened?"

Liu Jian said: "Marquis Tai'an is too much of a bully. He beat our descendants in the street. He colluded with the inner factory and broke all our descendants' teeth and disabled their limbs. How is his cruelty, arrogance, and domineering attitude different from that of the treacherous eunuch Wang Zhi during the previous emperor's time?"

"This boy relies on the emperor's favor and has two faces. He is gentle and respectful to the emperor in the court, but he is so arrogant when he leaves the palace!"

"The Neichang was not supposed to be involved in government affairs, but now Chen Ce has colluded with the Neichang and beaten the officials' children. He is clearly expanding the power of the Neichang and his own power!" "Your Majesty, please reprimand the Marquis of Tai'an and give an explanation to me and all the officials!"

Liu Jian is an old fox after all, and he speaks very skillfully. His impeachment of Chen Ce is very to the point. He accuses Chen Ce of colluding with the inner factory and tells him all about how the favored marquis was arrogant and domineering and framed civil servants. This will make the entire civil service group fear Chen Ce's power.

Taking the example of the powerful eunuch Wang Zhi in the previous dynasty, it is inevitable that people will think that Chen Ce may not become the next Wang Zhi, which makes the entire civil service group panic!

In this way, the civil servants will certainly stand on Liu Jian's side and target Chen Ce together. Only by putting pressure on the emperor can Chen Ce be completely overthrown!
Emperor Hongzhi really didn't expect Chen Ce to do such a cruel thing. This was not Chen Ce's character.

"What happened?"

Emperor Hongzhi stared at the Minister of Justice Min Gui, who hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am also investigating, but there is no result yet."

"Since Elder Liu has spoken of this, I suggest that you summon Marquis Tai'an to the palace for a confrontation."

He didn't want to get involved in this matter in the first place, and the Ministry of Justice didn't want to take over this mess at all. Now that Emperor Hongzhi asked about it, he could just use this opportunity to ask Chen Ce to come over for a confrontation.

It also saved him from being caught in a dilemma in the end.

Being in opposition to Chen Ce now is obviously not a good thing. The Minister of Justice Min Gui is very shrewd.

Emperor Hongzhi hummed and said, "Go and summon Chen Ce."

He was very unhappy in his heart. In front of so many civil and military officials, he really couldn't favor Chen Ce too much.

Moreover, Liu Jian was clearly targeting Chen Ce. Every word he said was hurtful and he quietly pulled all the civil servants to the opposite side of Chen Ce, which was very disadvantageous to Chen Ce.

The Zhang brothers were originally drowsy, but when they heard Chen Ce's name, they immediately became alert and couldn't help but look admiring.

This Chen Ce is so fierce! We brothers all admire his arrogance!
This was too cruel. Although the Zhang brothers were arrogant, they didn't dare to beat the children of a civil servant like this!
This time, Chen Ce was probably in great danger.

If he could have overcome this difficulty, then they brothers would really admire Chen Ce. He almost beat the other man's son to death. Even if the emperor wanted to favor him, he probably couldn't do it for the sake of face!
What's more, there are so many people in the hall listening.

Chen Ce, Chen Ce, you can't be so unscrupulous just because you are dying soon. Aren't you really afraid that someone will kill you in advance?

The Zhang brothers looked mournful and observed a moment of silence for Chen Ce.

If Chen Ce hadn't thought of a business for them brothers, they would not have sympathized with Chen Ce. Now they can only silently wish Chen Ce the best.

……

Chen Ce walked alone on the snow from the square outside the Wuying Palace.

The moment all the officials saw Chen Ce appear, they all looked sideways at him.

Soon, Chen Ce stepped outside the Fengtian Hall, flicked off the snowflakes on his body, and strode into the hall.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite... Marquis Tai'an, Elder Liu impeached you for colluding with the inner factory to beat his heir. Is this true?"

Chen Ce said calmly, "Yes, I did."

I rely on!

The Zhang brothers secretly gave Chen Ce a thumbs up, awesome!
You don't even want to pass on the blame? You just admit it? You're really a brave man!

If it were me, I would definitely pass the blame no matter what. This Chen Ce doesn't take Liu Jian seriously at all!
So crazy!
