Zhu Cilang looked at Wei Zaode and was not surprised by the Ming Dynasty prime minister's jumping face.

Judging from the "treasure maps" issued by the system, although Wei Zaode's family didn't have much money, the cash was more than 100,000 taels.

This is mainly because Wei Zaode has not been in the cabinet as a Grand Secretary for a long time, only two or three years, and has only been the prime minister for a few days, so he has not had time to save money.

Wei Zaode criticized Zhu Cilang quite harshly. All the kings who lost their country such as Xia Jie, Shang and Zhou came out, but Zhu Cilang didn't take it seriously at all.

These ministers like this, and they are exaggerated and everything has to be said extremely seriously.

If this is not the case, how can the emperor be obedient?

Zhu Cixuan said calmly: "So, Master Wei means, don't you want to pay money to support the Ming Dynasty to recruit troops and resist Li Zicheng's attack?"

Wei Zaode was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said, "Of course I support you, but..."

"No, but!" Zhu Cilang directly interrupted Wei Zaode's words and said coldly: "Now Li Zicheng's troops are siegeing the city. The British Duke and many Ming soldiers are desperately blocking their attack, in order to buy us time and recruit more troops to gain hope of defending Beijing and even counterattacking!

You are spoiled by your father. Do you think I am here to discuss with you today? I tell you that this is an order! You must choose one of the choices given to you by the palace, otherwise, don’t blame me for taking the Dongchang manga and chasing all your homes one by one!”

At the end, Zhu Cilang spoke harshly, and the entire hall was silent.

Everyone looked at Zhu Cilang with shocked expressions.

This prince is really... so decisive.

However, this decision was a huge psychological pressure for the Ming ministers present.

50% of the family fortune is not a small number.

Although it is said to be borrowed, who is still unclear about the situation in the Ming Dynasty?

The treasury has long been out of money, and all officials and employees in the entire capital have been owed at least half a year, and even one year later.

Such a Ming Dynasty really has money to pay off its debts?

Wei Zaode also had a change in his expression and his heart was churning.

Wei Zaode was naturally the first to bear the brunt of Zhu Cilang's words.

Wei Zaode took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Since the prince is so determined to act alone, then the old minister can't do anything. However, the old minister is exhausted now and cannot hold the position of Grand Secretary anymore. I would like to ask the prince and His Majesty to be kind and let the old minister resign and return to his old age!"

After Wei Zaode finished speaking, there was another uproar in the presence.

After all, Wei Zaode is the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, and the impact of his resignation in public is still quite strong.

Everyone knows that Wei Zaode is also a counterattack against Zhu Cilang!

The tyranny was too fierce, which led to the Ming Dynasty's chief minister having to resign. The words he spread were also a huge blow to Zhu Cixuan and Chongzhen.

Now, it depends on how Zhu Cilang takes the initiative.

Zhu Cilang looked at Wei Zaode and smiled.

"No problem. Since Mr. Wei thinks you are not capable, then you really don't need to be the chief minister of this cabinet. This palace represents the father, so it's right!"

Wei Zaode was stunned.

Obviously, he did not expect that Zhu Cilang would agree so happily.

At least, we should hesitate and worry about it, right?

But when things got to this point, Wei Zaode had no choice, so he bowed to Zhu Cilang and was about to leave the hall.

At this moment, Zhu Cilang's voice came again: "Stop!"

Wei Zaode looked up and saw Zhu Cilang's expressionless face.

"Mr. Wei, of course you can resign, but have you forgotten the will of your father? Everyone in the hall, including you, must abide by the will of your father!"

Wei Zaode felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help saying, "Crown Prince, you..."

Zhu Ciyang walked to Wei Zaode and said coldly: "Tell me, are you going to lend 50% of the family fortune to the Ming Dynasty, or do you want me to take the Dongchang man to your house with you?"

Wei Zaode's face was so wonderful at this moment.

After a moment, Wei Zaode gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the old minister's family really has no money. If the prince doesn't believe it, please go to the old minister's house to have a look!"

Wei Zaode also had no way out. If he chose to donate money at this time, it would be equivalent to surrendering to Zhu Cilang. Then his behavior of resigning from office to fight Zhu Cilang just now was like a joke, and Chongzhen even wanted to pursue Wei Zaode's last donation of money.

Therefore, Wei Zaode could only stand it to the end.

What's more, Wei Zaode feels that his treasure house is absolutely safe!

Zhu Cilang laughed out loud.

"Very good, very good. Let's do this. In order to give you some warnings, all the ministers present today will follow me to Mr. Wei's mansion!"

So, all the Ming ministers of the Fengtian Palace followed Zhu Cilang to Wei Zaode's mansion.

After this period of psychological construction, Wei Zaode's mentality has improved a lot. He stood at his doorstep with a frank face and whispered to Zhu Cilang: "Your Highness, this is the warehouse of the old minister's family. Please go to the warehouse with the old minister to take a look. If there is more than one thousand cash, then the old minister will definitely hand over it all!"

Wei Zaode's voice was very loud because he wanted everyone to hear it.

So the question is, aren’t Wei Zaode worried that Zhu Ciyang will find it?

Yes, he was not worried, because only he knew about the treasure house in Wei Zaode's mansion.

Even the transfer of money was secretly moved by Wei Zaode alone in the middle of the night with his wife.

Therefore, Wei Zaode was very confident that Zhu Cilang could find things from Cao Huachun and Zhou Kui's family, but he would definitely not find the treasures from Wei Zaode's family!

Zhu Cilang looked at Wei Zaode in front of him and smiled.

Once upon a time, Cao Huachun and Zhou Kui also had this expression in front of Zhu Cilang.

Then……

Zhu Cilang looked up and looked at Wei Zaode's mansion in front of him.

Well, it's very old, and it's the "old" style.

Zhu Cilang didn't even think about it and walked straight towards the back house.

Wei Zaode was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Crown Prince, I've gone wrong!"

Zhu Ciyang laughed: "Wrong? No, that's right!"

According to the treasure map in his mind, Zhu Cilang soon came to a house in Wei Zaode's mansion.

Zhu Cixuan pointed at the house and said to Wei Zaode: "What is this place?"

Wei Zaode's expression had begun to become a little uneasy, and he said, "This is the old minister's study. Your Highness, if you want to read it, you have to go to the warehouse to read it."

Behind the two, many Ming ministers had some inexplicable expressions on their faces, but some seemed to have figured out something.

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly and said to Wei Zaode: "Indeed, according to common sense, we should go to the warehouse to see it. However, some people always act clever and think that no one will notice it if they change the place!"
