807 responsibility, shameful thing
"Great Qin's treasury is empty!"
Qin Xiaoyan didn't hear it wrong, the secret guard just repeated it ten thousand times, and it was still this sentence.
Great Qin's treasury was empty, and all the silver deposits in it were gone.
Rao is Qin is calm words, at this time he can't help but reveal his feelings, take a deep breath, and then suppress the tumbling love in his heart, and squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "Details?" ”
Under the emperor's nose, it is not an easy task to empty the treasury.
The secret guard knew that this matter was very strict, and he didn't dare to delay, and said quickly: "The five princes have been stealing the silver taels of the treasury in order to make up for the deficit of the bank, until not long ago, the emperor wanted to use the silver and ordered someone to open the treasury to take the treasury, only to know that the treasury was all gone. ”
"The Fifth Prince? With him, he can also empty the treasury? "It's not that Qin Xiaoyan looks down on the five princes, but the five princes are just a lump of mud, he built all the frameworks of the Great Qin Qianzhuang at the beginning, and the five princes did it according to the plan, but they couldn't run the Qianzhuang, which shows his strength.
"There is a household department Shangshu intervening, and he unites the people of the money bank, deceives the superiors and subordinates, and withdraws money from the treasury in the name of the five princes." The Dark Guard presented a pair of folds from the leader of the Jinyi Guard with both hands. "Before, in order to let the Great Qin Qian Village be built, the emperor allowed the five princes to act cheaply, and the silver below 100,000 taels could be obtained by themselves without reporting."
The leader of Jinyiwei did not write down the details of the matter on the excerpt, which said that the records of the five princes transferring silver from the treasury were more than 50,000 taels each.
A whole book was written densely, with hundreds of pages.
"Sure enough, I have the ability." Qin Xiaoyan didn't look at each stroke carefully, but looked at a total number, which said that it was six million taels of gold and three hundred million taels of silver.
This is all the silver deposited in the treasury of Daqin in the past few years, and now all of it is gone.
"He was able to take out so much silver, and he really had the ability." Without silver in the treasury, the entire Great Qin could not function.
The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the armies in the government and far away in the frontier, which one does not need to be raised with silver?
"Your Highness, all the silver and gold in the treasury are taken out by the silver bills issued by the Great Qin Qian Village. Daqin Yinzhuang has dozens of boxes of silver tickets. After the secret guard found out the cause and effect of the matter, he also wanted to scold the five princes for being stupid.
There was a run on the money village, and the five princes wanted to cover the lid themselves, but if they couldn't cover it, they should burst out, and let the capable people clean up the aftermath.
Qin Shiyan closed his eyes and said, "This palace wants to know the details?" ”
It's already happened, and it's useless to be angry.
"Not long after the establishment of Daqin Qianzhuang, many people deposited silver and came in, and Qianzhuang successively issued many large-denomination silver tickets, and even one million taels of silver tickets. These huge silver tickets were all issued privately by the five princes, and the five princes don't remember the specific number, but at least more than 10 million taels. ”
"The tens of millions of taels of silver were deposited in the silver village, but the five princes did not hand it over to the treasury, and they did not even sue the household department, and the court did not know that the five princes had received so much silver. The money was used by the five princes to buy officials and train private soldiers. ”
"Training private soldiers and bribing officials, all of them are a person named Xiaoyao, who arranged for people to help the five princes operate, and the five princes don't know how many silver taels they used. The five princes only knew that Xiaoyao helped him train 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Xiaoyao also promised him that as long as the emperor had an accident, Xiaoyao would lead troops into the city to ensure that the five princes were on the throne. ”
"The fifth prince was carried away by the throne, and Xiaoyao said that the army needs to be armed with weapons, and he can get good swords and guns from the Northern Qi Dynasty, but the price will be relatively high, and a large amount of silver is needed. It just so happened that at this time, there were some big families carrying silver to deposit, and after the five princes issued silver tickets, they secretly transported the silver to Xiaoyao, so that Xiaoyao could buy weapons and train soldiers and horses. ”
"Originally, everything went smoothly, but a month and a half ago, there was a sudden run on Yinzhuang, and at first it was just a small amount of money, and the five princes could still get the silver, but the amount was getting bigger and bigger, and the five princes couldn't get the silver at all."
"The fifth prince was afraid that the emperor would know about this matter, and found out about his private military training, so he asked Xiaoyao for help, and Xiaoyao came up with an idea for him to take silver from the treasury."
"At the beginning, the five princes were still hesitant, after all, taking silver from the treasury is a big deal, and it is easy to be discovered, but the people who are free guarantee that they can help the five princes settle this matter."
"At this time, the fifth prince is already difficult to ride a tiger, even if he doesn't believe in it, he has to believe it, unless he wants the emperor to know that he has bad intentions and trains in private."
"The people who are free are really powerful, and they have leveled the people who have kept the treasury and moved the money from the treasury out little by little. Using the silver from the treasury, the five princes calmed down the turmoil, and they were not discovered by the emperor, and they believed in it more and more. ”
The fifth prince himself can't remember how many silver tickets he printed, and more and more people in the back took huge silver tickets to redeem them, and every silver ticket was real. The five princes, who had already taken out a huge amount of silver taels, had no choice but to continue to take the silver out to fill the hole. ”
"The five princes said that the carefree people deceived the upper and lower levels, and he didn't know how much silver he had brought from the treasury in the future, but if anyone took a silver ticket to receive the silver, he would let the carefree people go to the treasury to get it."
The dark guard is almost untouched, and the words of the brocade guard are relayed, and there is no personal feelings at all.
After listening to Qin Shiyan's words, he let out a long breath and asked, "Did not a single one of the people who were free were caught?" Did the whole family disappear with him? ”
"Yes, only the five princes and their cronies did not run away, and until they were arrested, the five princes still did not know about the emptiness of the treasury." The Dark Guard lowered his head, not knowing what he was going to do.
Although the nine sons of the dragon are different, it is really rare to be stupid to become the five princes.
"Idiot." Qin Shiyan couldn't help but scold.
For the sake of a throne, to fall into such a low-level trap, what is not a fool?
said that he was a royal descendant, and he lost the face of the Great Qin royal family!
The dark guard lowered his head, but when he didn't hear it, he continued: "Your Highness, the emperor also chose to cover this matter, and did not dare to expose the matter. ”
"Jin Yiwei has been busy tracking down the whereabouts of Yin Liang during this time, and the emperor means that he wants to solve this matter quietly, but he doesn't want Jin Yiwei to check for several days, and there is no news. Seeing that this season's military salary was about to be allocated, the emperor was afraid that the matter would be exposed and the court would be in chaos, so he privately ordered you to return to Beijing, asking you to recover the lost silver from the treasury and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
These words were re-modified by the secret guard, and the original words from the brocade guard were: The emperor said that the emperor is the future prince, and it is time to contact the major affairs of the country, and this matter is left to the emperor to solve, and he believes that the emperor will be successful.
That's right, if something happened, the emperor tried to save it, but if he couldn't save it, he pushed all the qiē to Qin Shanyan, and when the court was turbulent and the people were uneasy, it was all Qin Shanyan's fault for the emperor's grandson......
