Chapter 895: The Storm in the Capital 13
Just two days after Wei Zhao's son's washing, the messenger of Mobei City appeared in the court with the latest battle report.
The messenger had actually set out more than ten days earlier.
The reason why it has only arrived now is because of the snowfall in the desert.
The blizzard hit a large area outside the gates, and the snow was more than one person high.
The walls of Mobei City collapsed because of heavy snow, because the weather was too cold, and most of the soldiers guarding the city at night froze to death because they were still wearing iron armor and had no underwear to protect them.
Fortunately, because of the heavy snow, the Rouran people could not attack the city.
However, the Rouran people are not short of fur to protect against the cold, and although Mobei City has the grain sent by the county lord and Jizhou merchants, there is no clothing.
The military uniforms that should have been sent to Mobei City in August didn't even see a shadow.
However, in just a few days, most of the soldiers in the city were not frozen to death, and they also lost their ability to fight.
The messenger who was frozen all over his body, so thin that he couldn't look good, and his breath was barely breathing, in front of everyone in the court, slowly said word by word, if it goes on like this, Mobei City doesn't need to be beaten by Rouran.
At that time, someone in the court asked, what did you say, what is the use of the court raising you soldiers?
The messenger didn't lift his head, he didn't have food, no clothes, no reinforcements, no money to repair the wall, and the gaps in the wall were filled by the bodies of his brothers who froze to death.
The man wanted to question, but was slapped directly by Su Cen.
Wei Zhao is the way, the court raises, that is also to be raised first, there is no food and clothing, the city wall is damaged, what if the soldiers use their own flesh and blood to block the city wall?
Could it be that the corpses of tens of millions of people in this Chu country should block the city wall?
Chu Yu was furious and asked on the spot, didn't he say that the autumn taxes in Jinzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou were all bought and sent over?
And the clothes, what's going on.
Ning Shangshu's face turned pale and he couldn't reply.
Or Tie Yushi said it for him, the emperor gave an order, the autumn tax of Sanzhou came to Mobei City first, but the people from the household department and the Gyeonggi camp sent people to seal the silver money first, so although the order was issued for a month, it was only a merchant in Jizhou who really sent grain to Mobei City, as well as some grain donated by the county lord and the people of Sanzhou.
And because of that merchant's grain payment, Mobei City had no way to pay, and no other merchant dared to send grain over.
As soon as the weather is cold and the roads are impassable, there is no one to send them.
As for the clothes.
Su Cen took the collar of the man who was beaten and said, since June, the military department has not received the military uniforms and equipment that should be submitted.
Only the Gyeonggi battalion and the Praetorian Guards were sent directly into the camp.
However, the relevant funds of the household department have already been allocated, and as for where it is allocated, it is necessary to ask Ning Shangshu.
In June, it was the time when Chu Yu took ****** to escape the summer.
At that time, Chu Yu left Wei Zhao to guard in the capital, but in order to prevent Wei Zhao from becoming dominant, he strictly ordered Wei Zhao to overstep his authority to take care of the affairs of other departments.
Chu Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Therefore, since June, no one has sued him about these things, and even his orders in the court have been directly ignored.
Why did he get dizzy and listened to the words of the old man of the Zuo family!
Without Qin Mohan's army behind, he Chu Yu is nothing!
He thought that he had already sued the court, he thought that these courtiers were obedient, and after three bloody baths, he no longer dared not listen to him.
However, before the news of Qin Mohan's disappearance came, he gave an order, and the money from the household department was honestly transported to Ganzhou, and as soon as Qin Mohan disappeared, he could ignore his holy decree as nothing, and these people could directly seize those funds!
However, no one sued him for such a thing.
Wei Zhao and Su Cen were concealed, but the Zuo family didn't say it.
Zuo Ming, who was regarded by him as his other eye, didn't say anything, and the old man Zuo, who knew his mind best, didn't say anything, instead, he wanted him to collect Jubao Zhai, and he went to collect it, Qin Mohan's named Jubao Zhai cut off Qin Mohan's last bit of wealth!
Once he really does this, not only will Wei Zhao say that it will hurt the country, but Qin Mohan will come back and he will be separated from him.
The Zuo family is connected with these people.
Why!
Why!
Chu Yu was angry, and when he got up from the dragon chair, he fainted directly to the ground.
There was a moment of chaos in the court.
The eunuchs shouted for the imperial doctor, Wei Zhao and Su Cen hurriedly escorted the messenger out of the door, and the rest of the ministers also hurried and retreated home.
When Chu Yu woke up leisurely, only Chang Gonggong was guarding the edge of the dragon bed.
Seeing him wake up, Father-in-law Chang hurriedly stepped forward, and as soon as he opened his mouth to call, he was signaled by Chu Yu to stop with his eyes.
Outside the door of the dormitory, there was a woman who was asking the imperial doctor what was going on with the emperor.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor is angry and attacking, this emperor is a little weak this year, too much energy, the body is yang deficiency, this anger, the liver fire rises, the fire is strong and the internal deficiency, so I fainted, if it is not good to recuperate in the future, I am afraid of ......"
The Imperial Doctor didn't finish his words, but just let out a long sigh.
"How is this good, Sister Shu, you better persuade the emperor more."
"Persuade? Concubine De Niangniang, now you have the highest grade and the most valued by the emperor, you are persuading! Okay, since the emperor has nothing to do, then I won't bother the emperor. ”
"Lady!"
"Mother, then, shall we go in?"
"Forget it, the emperor's illness can't be disturbed now, you are waiting here, as soon as something happens, come and report immediately, the palace will go to stew some soup for the emperor first."
The voices outside faded away, and Chu Yu sneered at Chang Gonggong Nunu.
Father-in-law Chang hurriedly went out and scattered everyone outside, and then came in again, holding the prescription that the imperial doctor had just prescribed in his hands, presenting it with both hands and handing it to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu only glanced at it, then motioned to Chang Gonggong to take it away, and then said, "You said yesterday that the black guard has something to report, what is the matter?" ”
Heiwei can't ask to see him if he has no urgent matter, but he was on the rise yesterday, so he asked Chang Gonggong to see him and let Heiwei flash people, and only now do he remember it.
A look of unbearability appeared on Grandpa Chang's face, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's body is now heavy. ”
"Say!" Chu Yu snorted lightly.
"The black guard said that His Majesty asked them to go and investigate the Zuo family, and they found something from the Zuo family." Chang Gonggong took out a few pieces of paper in his sleeve.
I let?
Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he thought about it, he felt that his head was in chaos, thinking that he was afraid that after beating Old Man Zuo, he would not worry about letting them go.
I actually forgot about it!
"Straight to the point, something." Looking at the paper handed over by Chang Gonggong with a frown, Chu Yu said impatiently.
"It's a copy of the account book, which shows that in recent months, the Shu brocade shipped from Shuzhou by the Zuo family has been sold at a price ten times higher than the market price, and the buyer ......" Chang Gonggong paused, was glared at by Chu Yu, and said busily: "In addition to the Anguo Mansion and the Ning family, there is also a net profit written on it, as high as 300,000 taels, and those are not recorded in the public accounts of the Zuo family, but belong to the private property of the eldest lady of the Zuo family." ”
Chu Yu snapped and slammed his palm on the edge of the bed.
