In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Last night, when I went to the hall meeting in Xuanchengbo’s Mansion, Gu Licai finally understood the reason why the "Da Chu Morning News" could not be sold. It turned out that the scholars here have long been accustomed to classical Chinese. There is conflict.

Gu Li snorted. Classical Chinese was originally used to save precious paper, but as the king of a country, the most important thing he lacks is paper.Besides, even if he wants to use classical Chinese, he still doesn't have that level for the time being!Classical Chinese is not so easy to write, but reviewing memorials is okay, writing a "Zhu Mu Xiangyi Office", "Living with his crown and belt", etc., are only a few words, but if you want to write beautiful parallel words and sentences, then you must It's very difficult.He has accumulated all kinds of knowledge for public examinations, but has not practiced classical Chinese writing for the time being.

"It seems that we can only use that method." Gu Li asked his servant to grind the ink, spread out the paper and began to write silently.

When Xiao Tan came, Gu Li had already silently written more than 1 words.Xiao Tan saluted, Gu Li put the paper aside to dry the ink, screened back left and right, looked at Tan Jilun, and said, "I asked you before when I visited the Beijing camp last time, and now I will ask you again, what do you take?" How much is the compensation received?"

Xiao Tan was shocked all over, his eyes flustered for a moment, and he quickly calmed down, and replied: "Ten taels of silver, and ten bolts of silk cloth."

Gu Li said coldly: "Okay, your good brother Jiang Xiasheng told me that your pension is five taels of silver and five bolts of silk. Who is the two of you lying to me? Do you want me to call Jiang Xiasheng now?" Come here and confront you?"

Xiao Tan lowered his head and remained silent.

Gu Li slapped the table: "Okay, come here! Go to the Shuntian Mansion Office and bring Jiang Xiasheng. If you dare to deceive me, I will definitely kill him!"

Hearing this, Tan Jilun couldn't help being anxious, and quickly said: "Your Majesty! This matter... this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Xiasheng! Please don't embarrass him!"

Gu Li raised his eyebrows: "Why did you ask me to embarrass him? He lied to me, shouldn't he be punished?"

Tan Jilun struggled a lot, and finally said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Xiasheng didn't lie to you, it's me, it's all me!"

Gu Li relaxed and asked, "Are you finally willing to tell the truth?"

Tan Jilun was caught by Gu Li, knowing that it was impossible to cover up the matter, he explained everything in detail: "When your Majesty came to the barracks that day, he asked about the pension money of the humble official, and the humble official wanted to tell the truth, but this There are many things involved, some people tell Beizhi to shut up, and Beizhi dare not say more."

Gu Li asked: "Who told you to shut up?"

Tan Jilun smiled wryly: "Naturally, it's the humble boss, the boss, and the boss. Originally, according to the list of the Ministry of War, the pension silver should be issued 800 taels, but in fact, only 400 taels were in our hands. Your Majesty knows, who will divide up the remaining 400 taels?"

Gu Li hummed and asked, "Did Shangshu Yang participate in this matter?"

Tan Jilun said hastily: "No! Yang Shangshu is loyal to the country, honest, diligent and thrifty, and I hope His Majesty will never have any doubts about him."

"Then you suffered such a big loss, why didn't you tell Yang Shangshu about it? He is your fellow countryman, and he takes good care of you, isn't he?"

"Because the humble job doesn't want to involve Yang Shangshu."

So it seems that those who are greedy for ink and pensions must either have high official positions or have a large number of people. Even Yang Shangshu can't handle them.

"Then tell me, who are there?"

"As far as I know from my humble position, Zhao Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, went to the Beijing camp to guard Wan'an, and then to He Wei, the admiral of the Nine Gates, and Gu Qin, the Prince of Cheng, all played a part in this matter."

Gu Li was furious when he heard that, he never expected that even the Secretary of the Household Department was involved in the corruption case, this dog official cried to him every day that he was poor, it turned out that he was crying that he had nowhere to make money!Since he participated, there must have been many officials in the household department who also followed suit. It seems that the household department is going to have a big change.

As for Prince Cheng Gu Qin, he also had the impression that on the day the rebels attacked the city, this unscrupulous prince even came to sue him, saying that some stupid soldiers had trampled on the flowers under the wall of his courtyard.

Prince Cheng is Gu Li's half-brother Gu Qin, and his biological mother is the Empress Dowager who is currently living in the Palace of Compassion.Originally, when he was old, he was supposed to leave the capital and become a vassal, but the Queen Mother loved him and blew some pillow wind, so the unscrupulous Prince Cheng stayed in the capital and became an idle prince.

He thought for a while and asked, "Where's Prime Minister Mu, does he know about this?"

Xiao Tan said: "Prime Minister Mu only cares about it, and the distribution of pensions is still handled by the subordinates."

Gu Li asked: "The last time I inspected the barracks was obviously a good opportunity, why didn't you complain to me?"

Xiao Tan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, when you inspect the barracks, those who can be selected to meet you are all cronies of the Beijing camp guarding Wan'an. These people have always received benefits. Who will tell you the truth? Besides, We are already very satisfied to have half of the pension in our hands, the relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, if this matter is broken, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit in the future."

Gu Li thought for a while and asked, "I'm afraid this is not the first time for such bad rules?"

Xiao Tan remained silent, apparently acquiescing.

Gu Li said: "Tell me everything you know, and I will make the decision for you. You can tell me which clan children, relatives and dignitaries borrow your labor, and who falsely claim military salary in the army."

Although Gu Li had turned back, Xiao Tan was still afraid that the wall might have ears, so he stepped forward and wrote one by one with a pen.Seeing his frightened look, Gu Li comforted him, "With me here, nothing will happen to you."

Xiao Tan sighed: "Your Majesty doesn't know, these people can do anything because they are relatives of the emperor."

Gu Li thought for a while, and said, "Since you are so scared, I'll ask Guard Xie to protect you temporarily."

After Xiao Tan finished writing, Gu Li was about to ask him to step down, seeing his hesitation, he asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Tan asked: "Boldly ask, Your Majesty asked about Mu Chengxiang and Yang Shangshu. Could it be that he is suspicious of them? Others have low positions and can't guarantee it, but Mu Chengxiang and Yang Shangshu are both public and loyal ministers of the country."

Gu Li thought for a while and said, "I don't suspect them, but if they are also involved in this matter, I will be sad."

At this moment, he suddenly understood Chen Feng's mood.

Betrayed by a trusted subordinate, no matter who it is, it will be hurt.

At this time, Chen Feng was sitting at the desk and writing a letter.

A middle-aged man stood behind him and asked nervously, "Tianshi, are you in good health?"

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Feng's side face, his heart trembled uneasy, he was still thinking about what happened in Xuanchengbo's mansion that day.

A few days before going to Xuancheng Bo's Mansion, he suddenly couldn't contact Chen Feng, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, fearing that Chen Feng would be arrested and he would be implicated.He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he received Chen Feng's signal to go to Xuanchengbo's mansion to meet him that day.

However, after sneaking into Xuancheng Bo's mansion, he did not see Chen Feng.He prepared to listen to the show in a daze, and then the officials came!

At that time, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He heard that the officials came to arrest Chen Feng, so he also looked around, not knowing where Chen Feng was hiding.Until suddenly someone died.

Only then did he finally understand that he was not the only one called by Chen Feng to this show!

He thought he was a theatergoer, but he had another pair of eyes watching every move of their informants.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat.

He couldn't help thinking, the one who died must be a traitor, so what are the identities of the other two informants?Who is Chen Tianshi writing this letter to?And this mansion was originally Cao Cunlin's mansion. How did Chen Tianshi live in it?

Chen Feng had already written the letter, folded the letter paper, and asked, "Where is the thing I asked you to bring?"

The middle-aged man hastily took out his bag, opened it, and saw that it was a stack of big Chubao banknotes, under which was a full amount of fine silver taels.Chen Feng only took the silver, put it together with the letter, put on a felt hat, and left Cao's house with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man asked: "Tianshi, are you really not living here? I think this place is very good..."

Chen Feng glanced at the rose plant in front of Cao's house, thinking that it might not be time to see the flowers bloom.

For so many years, I never let anyone get close to me, but I actually invited Gu Yixin to share the same bed last night, I was really dizzy.Gu Yixin is poisonous, it will make him lose his mind!

Chen Feng secretly woke up, he can't go on like this, he needs to stay away from Gu Yixin!

Although without Gu Yixin's pawn, he had to use other means to inquire about Mr. Sai's affairs, but it was worthwhile for a strong man to cut off his wrists if he could get rid of that ecstatic feeling of intoxication.

As for the silver and the letter, let's leave it to Gu Yixin. This guy has money, so he can get rid of Eunuch Yu if he wants to. He can do whatever he wants when he returns to his hometown. As long as he doesn't get too greedy, he can live a good life.

It's not that I feel sorry for him being broken by Eunuch Yu, but I'm just thanking him for saving my life.

Chen Feng lowered his felt hat and boarded the carriage.

Gu Li still doesn't know that Chen Feng, the little fox, has left without saying goodbye, and is pursuing the pension bank with great fanfare.

He has always used gentle methods since he crossed over, and this time he finally resorted to methods. No matter if he is a relative of the emperor or an important minister in the court, he will be imprisoned and handed over to the Procuratorate for trial.

This time, quite a few relatives were involved, apart from the idle prince Cheng Prince Gu Qin in the capital, there were also the prince's son-in-law, Du Wei, Xuan Chengbo and others.

The amount of corruption that Prince Cheng embezzled was not large, but since Gu Li had already decided to get him involved, it was impossible to give him another chance to stand up. He had already asked Jiang Xiasheng to go to the red-light district of Maoer Hutong to collect evidence. The day he left the palace for the first time In the morning, I saw with my own eyes that Prince Cheng left from the courtyard of a certain family.

Jiang Xiasheng is a good official, and he panicked when he heard the words "Chen" and "Feng" in the past few days, and he was in a cold sweat. Gu Li gave him other things to do, just to divert his attention.

Jiang Xiasheng followed suit and found more criminal evidence from Gu Qin's concubine. In addition to embezzlement and pension money, this person also pretended to be paid by the army, formed a party for personal gain, issued usury loans in the capital, and kept soldiers privately. This last one does not seem to be correct. It is obvious that Gu Qin may just want to raise a group of thugs to collect debts, but this is his trick.

As a prince, Gu Qin spent a lot of effort to beg the late emperor, so he didn't go to enfeoff the land and become a vassal. He was able to stay in the capital and be an idle prince. , This is trying to rebel!This time, Gu Li had to take off a layer of his skin!

The author has something to say: 【I don’t feel sorry for him being destroyed by Eunuch Yu, but just thank him for saving his life. 】

Tsk tsk tsk, please be stubborn.

Small Theater: Many years later, when Jiang Xiasheng was promoted to the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Commander, he was still in a dream at midnight, and he couldn't help recalling the nightmare in his career.Although he has never met Chen Feng, the heavenly master of the rebel army, just hearing the word "Chen Feng" is enough to make him break out in cold sweat.What's more terrible is, why does the person who sits in the middle palace in His Majesty's harem look so much like the legendary traitor Heavenly Master?
