50, completely out of position
Such a big living person and several large boxes of weapons, if they are secretly hidden in the army, I am afraid it will be difficult. The eldest prince asked suspiciously.
When Zhuge Feng heard this, his face, which had just been warm, became ugly again.
At this moment, Zhang Qingwu was anxious to see him.
Zhuge Feng asked with a headache: "Why is Zhang Aiqing in such a hurry?" ”
"Back to the emperor, someone sent an anonymous letter to Dali Temple, the content of the letter is very important, and the minister hurriedly met after receiving the letter." Zhang Qingwu respectfully presented the letter.
Lian He took the letter and transferred it to Zhuge Feng's hands.
When Zhuge Feng received the letter, his face became even more pale.
The content of the letter was to the effect that Zhuge Changgong used military pay to send Nangong Han to look for Xuaniron ore everywhere, and spent a lot of silver to build a large number of Xuantie weapons, resulting in the soldiers in the military camp he was in charge of having been without service for three months, and their lives were extremely difficult. The letter also said that if you don't believe it, you can go to check the accounts, and you will find out after checking. Zuihou also said that Zhuge Changgong wolf's ambition was early on when he planned to keep the New Year at the end of this year, when everyone was the most lax, he raised troops into the palace and forced the emperor to abdicate.
"Smack!" Zhuge Feng slapped his palm on the table.
"Zhang Qingwu!" He glared at Zhuge Changgong fiercely, and the green tendons on his head burst out.
"The minister is here!" Zhang Qingwu was a little apprehensive, he had been an official for many years, and he had never seen the emperor make such a big fire.
"You and Hu Wen Shangshu will go to Zhuge Changgong's camp and mansion together, check all the accounts of the salary and silver spent in the army, make a detailed record of the differences, and then report to me." Zhuge Feng completely lost the humble appearance of a gentleman on weekdays, and said through gritted teeth.
When Zhuge Changgong heard that he was going to check the account, he was just completely stupid, he did build a lot of weapons and equipment in private, and prepared to use it as a last resort.
"Obey orders!"
Zhang Qingwu didn't dare to delay, and turned around after receiving the order.
The queen wiped her tears and covered the corners of her slightly upturned mouth with her hands.
When the eldest prince also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the six princes and others came together to ask for a meeting.
If you say who the emperor loves the most among these sons, except for the dead eighth prince, it belongs to the six princes in front of him, and he hasn't given the other sons ru? Only the six princes have, and the name is auspicious.
Of course, the reason why he loves the Six Princes so much, in addition to the Six Princes' own intelligence and studiousness, is also because he looks the most similar to himself, Zhuge Feng saw him, just like seeing himself when he was young, and his mood always became better unconsciously.
"The sons knock to see their fathers and the emperor, and they knock to see their mothers." Only one of the six princes entered the hall and saluted, and the others, including Pan Li, who was bound, waited outside the hall.
When Zhuge Feng saw the six princes, his mood was not as gloomy as he was just now.
It's just that when he saw that although the sixth prince's left wrist was wrapped in gauze, the blood was printed through the veil, he frowned tightly, and said without anger: "Rui'er, what's going on?" How did it hurt? ”
The sixth prince knelt in front of Zhuge Feng, "The son is guilty, and I ask my father to scold my son for a hundred boards, and then the son will tell my father about the matter one by one." ”
"A hundred big boards?" Zhuge Feng was puzzled, this hundred big boards would kill people, how could he be worth hitting him.
"What happened, Rui'er and come first, whether this hundred boards should be beaten or not, I will naturally make a decision."
The sixth prince glanced at the eldest prince apologetically, and then said slowly: "If it weren't for the important matter, the sons and daughters wouldn't want to make trouble in the palace."
Today's matter, Rui'er is completely right about things and not people, and please don't be surprised by the eldest brother.
Here's the thing......"
Subsequently, the sixth prince told the story in detail, including how Pan Li got drunk and made trouble, not only molested the women of the good family, but also injured the father-in-law of other people, and later injured him, and then knew that he had caused a big disaster and fled back to the army, he led people to chase him to the army, and burned all the grain and grass in the Jindong camp during the fight.
"What?" When Zhuge Feng heard this, his blood surged, and his anger really rushed to the top of his head.
The grain and grass of the 200,000 army for several months are all white flowers.
In recent years, although the harvest has been good and the tax revenue has been stable, the cost of the army has been rising year after year, and the national treasury is also very tight.
As soon as this grain and grass is burned, the treasury may not be able to make ends meet.
The eldest prince looked at the sixth prince, "Brother Rui, Pan Li seriously injured you, you can tell Brother Wei directly, Brother Wei will definitely give you an explanation, but how can you burn the grain and grass of my army in a fit of anger?"
This is a few million taels of silver, will this Jindong army drink the northwest wind in the future? ”
The sixth prince didn't expect the eldest prince to bite him back at this time, he calmed down and said coldly: "Brother Emperor, Brother Huang is not the kind of person who doesn't know what is important.
Pan Li, as the main general, got drunk and made trouble first, and seriously injured me later, he has already damaged the face of the court and the imperial brother, even if I don't make a move, he can't run away, and the imperial brother doesn't have to burn grain and grass to vent his anger.
Moreover, many people in the army also saw that it was Pan Li who was the first to pick up the torch to attack me, and the reason why it caught fire was really an accident.
As for the future grain and grass in Jindong, Rui'er is willing to take half of it from her own army to compensate the eldest brother, after all, the grain and grass will burn, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. ”
Zhuge Feng listened to the words of the six princes, and felt a little more comfortable, among the several sons, there was finally one who was responsible.
He suppressed his anger, "Where is Pan Li?" ”
"Back to my father, Pan Li and several of his sons are waiting outside the palace, after all, this is the first hall of Concubine Lan's mother, without the will of his father, his sons dare not let them come in and disturb them privately."
Zhuge Feng listened to these words very usefully, but it made the queen and the eldest prince deeply feel that the six princes were not easy to deal with, especially Pan Li was the main general in the army of the great prince, a chief general could do such a degrading thing, as his master, the eldest prince also had an unshirkable responsibility.
"Let a few of them in, and I'll hear what they have to say."
Then Lian He brought several people into the palace, and the statements of several people were no different from those of the six princes.
Pan Lijiu had already woken up, and knelt in front of Zhuge Feng tremblingly, and could only keep begging for mercy.
Zhuge Feng didn't look at him, so he sentenced Pan Li to be decided.
Then he put the eldest prince on the crime of unfavorable supervision, fined him 20 boards, and spent one year, and then thought about it behind closed doors for ten days, and at the same time, the military salary of the Jindong camp in the future will be reduced by 30%.
Although the sixth prince also had mistakes, his starting point was to revive his achievements and protect his reputation, and he was injured again, and he was responsible for doing things, so he did not punish him, and gave him many precious medicinal materials to treat his injuries, which made the queen and the eldest prince extremely red.
Subsequently, Zhang Qingwu and Zhang Yan's father also arrived, and after checking the accounts, it was confirmed that there were indeed several large amounts of silver in the accounts of Zhuge Changgong's army, and the whereabouts and uses of the two were unknown. And they found many fine preparations in their house.
Zhuge Feng was furious, and once again demoted Zhuge Changgong to a concubine, confined in the palace, and no one was allowed to see him privately without his order.
