Chapter 735: Where Did the Silver Come From?
Qian Qianyi said yes again and again, really took a sip of tea, and then took a handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of his eye.
Only then did he raise his head and say: "Don't hide it from the prince, the old man heard that Chen Zilong and Wang Yi are contacting the courtiers and are impeaching the old man ......." ”
Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi looked at Wu Zheng with a pair of eyes.
Wu Zheng was slightly bowing his head at this time, playing with the lid of the tea bowl on the table with his left hand, and didn't seem to notice Qian Qianyi looking at him.
Qian Qianyi waited for a while, and when he saw that Wu Zheng didn't react, he coughed dryly.
Wu Zheng raised his head and said, "I know about this." When Shoufu came, Chen Zilong, Wang Yi and others had just left. Indeed, as Shousuke said, they wanted to contact me and impeach Shousuke together. ”
Qian Qianyi let out a long breath almost visibly, he touched his chest and said: "The prince can be so frank, the old man did not mistake the prince, the old man is relieved...... Dare to ask the prince, what happened to them? ”
Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "What else can I say?" These are all official words, and I have been impeached by them from time to time. It's okay, it's not good to be too offended, right...... I'm just saying, although I am the prince of the country, I don't want to interfere too much in the affairs of the court, especially the matter of impeachment as the head of the court, so let them find someone else. ”
Qian Qianyi said with a grateful face: "The prince is really a righteous man and a gentleman, and the old man admires it." ”
Wu Zheng laughed in surprise, in the past four years, there have been not ten, but seven or eight of his nicknames, but this "righteous gentleman" is really the first time he has heard of it. It's a pity, even if these four words come from Chen Zilong's mouth, Wu Zheng can be happy, but now, Wu Zheng is disgusted and wants to vomit.
Qian Qianyi said urgently: "The old man came today to ask the prince to lend a hand. Tomorrow, when the dynasty comes, if Chen Zilong and others impeach the old man, they will also ask the prince to help. ”
Wu Zheng hesitated: "This ...... Isn't that right? ”
Qian Qianyi hurriedly said: "What's wrong with this? Don't hide it from the prince, behind the old man can stand His Majesty. Chen Zilong and the others shouted loudly again, if His Majesty didn't allow it, they would just bark a few times. Lord, if you can help the old man this time, the old man will appreciate the love of the prince. ”
"Oh?" Wu Zheng said oh, it came at the right time.
Qian Qianyi looked left and right and glanced at Song An.
Wu Zheng comprehended, shook his hand at Song An, and Song An retreated with interest.
Qian Qianyi said: "If the prince can help, the old man will be thanked." ”
Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi raised his hand to compare, two.
Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and said: "Shoufu, although the Duke of China is young, he is also a person who has seen the world, and the Duke of China is not a person who is greedy for money." ”
Qian Qianyi squinted and smiled, and compared again, three.
Wu Zheng still shook his head and said, "They are all colleagues, why can't you sit down and talk about it......?" ”
Qian Qianyi changed again, and he had five fingers on his right hand.
Wu Zheng said: "The first assistant is loyal to the country, but he was wronged by the treacherous petty, if the prince of the country sits idly by, where is the justice?" ”
Speaking of this, Wu Zheng asked, "How to deliver?" ”
Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "Tomorrow will be done, the old man will send someone to the house on the same day." ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." How do you want me to help? ”
Qian Qianyi's old face immediately became gloomy, "The co-cong people and others were dismissed, and the first evil was exiled along with his family." ”
Wu Zhengrao was mentally prepared, and he didn't feel a pang in his heart.
"Shousuke, this is going to kill them all? …… No matter how you say this, they are all colleagues, they have different political views, and the dismissal of officials is enough, so why exile and bring disaster to your family? ”
Qian Qianyi listened to Wu Zheng's words, but was stunned.
After a long time, Qian Qianyi nodded Wu Zheng and sighed: "The prince is really a lover. ”
He shook his head and said: "But all political enemies, once they move, they will live and die until they die." If the prince thinks of kindness today, he will be eaten by them one day. There is a way to get rid of evil, lord. ”
Wu Zheng hesitated: "But this ...... These people are not big treacherous people, and I can't help it after all. ”
Qian Qianyi snorted and sneered: "The prince is really forgetful, that day Chen Zilong sent Song Zhengyu to collude with the Qing army and assassinate the prince in Zhenjiang Mansion, doesn't the prince remember?" ”
Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Of course I remember." ”
"That's it." Qian Qianyi said, "But that day, His Majesty sheltered Chen Zilong, and he didn't even take Song Zhengyu with him, but he was just imprisoned in prison." But now His Majesty has regarded Chen Zilong as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, this time the prince and the old man joined forces, not only to bring down Chen Zilong, but also to solve Song Zhengyu by the way, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Looking at Qian Qianyi's somewhat smug face, Wu Zheng suddenly said, "It turns out that Shoufu came by His Majesty's will. ”
Qian Qianyi was stunned and squeaked a little, "The prince misunderstood, this is definitely not what Your Majesty meant." ”
Wu Zheng sighed: "If this silver is the first assistant, the public will receive it, but if it is Your Majesty's...... How can he be a servant? Or, after a while, I'll take this bill of exchange with me. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Zheng pressed the money exchange slip on the table, and then moved it in front of Qian Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi hurriedly pushed it back and said, "The prince really misunderstood, this silver is by no means His Majesty's, nor is it state money...... It is the private property of the old man. ”
Wu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said: "Shoufu was originally a family of Kangzhuang, and he took out 200,000 taels, which is a public trust." But Shoufu was deposed by the Qing court last year, and he was demoted from Shuntianfu to Yingtianfu to be punished. ”
Qian Qianyi didn't understand what Wu Zheng meant for a while, and nodded subconsciously.
Wu Zheng immediately changed his face and said, "Shoufu, is this a bully of his youth?" ”
Qian Qianyi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What does this mean, prince?" ”
Wu Zheng said angrily: "Since the first assistant's family background is thin, the first assistant should have just ordered 500,000 taels, if it wasn't for His Majesty, would the first assistant be able to afford it?" Isn't this deceiving Ben Gong's youth? ”
Qian Qianyi came to his senses, "The prince was angry, and the old man explained slowly. ”
Wu Zheng snorted.
Qian Qianyi thought for a while and pondered: "The prince thinks that with the financial resources of the Yixing Dynasty now, can the Qing army be defeated in three or five years?" ”
Wu Zheng was noncommittal.
Qian Qianyi had no choice but to ask himself and answer: "From the old man's point of view, it is absolutely impossible. After this battle in the imperial court, Liao Zhongping's Jingwei was lost by more than half, and the sailors of Xingguo Gong were only more than 8,000 people, and Jianyangwei, who was waiting for Xia Wanchun, suffered more than 3,000 casualties. The 30,000 recruits recruited still need time to train. Let's talk about the four guards under the command of the prince, after this battle, the casualties are not small, right? I heard that the prince plans to build another second guard, but the old man knows that the treasury of the general's mansion is also tight, right? But even if the prince rebuilds the army of the Six Guards, for the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the north, it is just an army that does not pose much threat. Although the prince has been winning battles for four years, has it really hurt the bones of the Qing court? Except for the killing of a Yu prince Duoduo, the other victories were just gnawing at the skin of the Qing court, far from the extent of breaking the muscles and bones. ”
