With a clang sound!
Qin Liangyu's sword collided with the sword in the King of Shu's hand.
Although the King of Shu is young, compared with Qin Liangyu, he can only be described as a weakling.
Qin Liangyu gently pushed the sword in her right hand outward, then took a small step forward and placed the sword directly against the neck of the King of Shu.
"You disobeyed the imperial order and assassinated an official of the imperial court. I will execute you right here on the spot!"
Everyone was stunned.
How could Qin Liangyu dare to go into battle against the vassal kings?
Before this, Qin Liangyu would never dare to attack the King of Shu.
but.
Different times, different circumstances.
The imperial edict clearly stated that if the King of Shu did not fall into the trap and did not lend her money, she could just rob him!
Speed is of the essence in war. One day late will result in the risk of annihilation of the entire army!
She was in no mood to negotiate with the King of Shu, so she just snatched it away.
The King of Shu looked at the shining blade and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
This guy actually means it!
She must have a purpose!
Without an imperial decree, no one in the Ming Dynasty would dare to treat him like this.
Thinking of this, the King of Shu immediately dropped the sword in his hand, but continued in a condescending tone: "Qin Liangyu, I am the vassal king of the Shu Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty! Without the order of Your Majesty, if you dare to touch a hair of mine, your entire clan will be in danger!"
"You can report me in the memorial!" Qin Liangyu didn't care.
She already knew about the changes in the court situation, and the current Ming emperor was completely different from before.
He would do anything to save the Ming Dynasty!
And she also has the will to do anything.
"Come here, go into the palace with the left and right chief secretaries of the Prince of Shu's palace to check the silver. Don't take a penny more or less!"
In the Ming Dynasty, the princely palaces had official positions such as the left chief secretary, the right chief secretary, the bookkeeper, the judge, etc.
The Chief Secretary is in charge of the political affairs of the royal palace, assists the prime minister in admonishing and correcting the king's mistakes, leads the officials in the palace to each provide services, and manages all miscellaneous affairs.
"How dare you!" the King of Shu shouted angrily, "Your duty is to protect the safety of Chengdu and me. Now Qin Liangyu is leading her troops to cause chaos. It would be fine if you didn't come to help, but you dare to help the tyrant?"
Sichuan Governor Liu Zhibo and the two thousand defenders he brought with him stood there, looking at each other.
The King of Shu was right. Their mission was to protect the city and the safety of the King of Shu.
But Qin Liangyu had the imperial edict in her hand. Since she dared to do this, there must be a secret order.
and.
Qin Liangyu is now the governor-general of four provinces, and all Ming government troops in the four provinces are under her command.
If you don't listen, it would be disobeying the order.
These people were intimidated by the majesty of the King of Shu and at the same time afraid of Qin Liangyu's imperial edict, so they stood where they were and dared not move.
Qin Liangyu was furious. She ordered Wang Zhong, a captain of the Imperial Guards: "Captain Wang, take your men and go there in person!"
Wang Zhong nodded and led hundreds of Qin Liangyu's personal soldiers outside the door to rush in.
"Stop him!" Although the King of Shu did not dare to say much to Qin Liangyu, he was not so polite to Wang Zhong.
Dozens of servants with weapons blocked the door.
Wang Zhong had already received instructions from Chongzhen before he came. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and stabbed the nearest servant in the palace.
"Ah!" a scream rang out.
In a short while, the servant died from excessive bleeding.
Everyone was stunned, especially the King of Shu.
He never expected that Wang Zhong would be so tough that he stabbed the servant of the Prince of Shu's Mansion to death in front of him.
The King of Shu's expression suddenly changed: "They've rebelled! They've all rebelled! Is the Ming Dynasty still ruled by the Zhu family?"
"Are you just going to watch him commit the crime?" The King of Shu placed his last hope on Liu Zhibo, the governor of Sichuan.
Liu Zhibo stood straight and did a jaw-dropping move: closing his eyes and covering his ears!
On one side are the princes of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other side are the governors-general of the four provinces who carry the imperial edict, as well as the Jinyiwei from the capital!
When gods fight, a mortal like him cannot take the responsibility.
Although the servants wanted to step forward to resist and show off in front of the King of Shu, they put down their weapons after seeing the bloody knife in Wang Zhong's hand.
The King of Shu had a dark face, exhaled heavily and closed his eyes.
Without the interference of the King of Shu, the rest of the things will be easy.
"Come here, help me escort the King of Shu and his family to Chengyun Palace! The rest of you, along with the Jinyiwei and the left and right chief secretaries of the palace, go to the inner treasury and ask for the silver!"
Soon, under Qin Liangyu's arrangement, Wang Zhong led his men to open the door of the Shu King's silver vault.
Looking at the mountains of gold and silver, Wang Zhong couldn't help swallowing.
I can’t say how much money this is, but it must be at least tens of millions of taels.
The largest silver ingot owned by the Ming Dynasty government weighed five hundred taels!
An ordinary silver ingot weighs fifty taels each, and the following taels vary in weight: twenty taels, ten taels, five taels, three taels, two taels, and one tael each.
Wang Zhong took out the silver scale he had prepared in advance and ordered people to start weighing from the ingots of fifty taels each.
The whole process lasted nearly a day before the five million taels of silver were counted.
As the last box of silver was moved out of the vault, Wang Zhong took the left and right chief secretaries to Chengyun Hall.
"Reporting to Governor Qin, the silver has been transported, exactly five million taels!"
Qin Liangyu turned her head to look at the King of Shu, and then bowed deeply: "Qin Liangyu thanks the King of Shu for his generosity. There is hope for the Ming Dynasty's southwest war."
The King of Shu had a cold face and said nothing.
As a vassal king, today's incident can be said to have made him lose face.
Qin Liangyu ignored the King of Shu's expression. She picked up a piece of paper and a pen and quickly wrote a promissory note, then stamped it with the governor's seal.
"Your Highness, the King of Shu, this is the IOU from the court. Please keep it safe! If it is lost, it will not be replaced!"
Although the King of Shu was extremely reluctant, he still took the IOU and looked at it carefully.
