Gu Qingyan finally knew why in one hundred and fifty years, although the Nanyang Army was organized by the imperial court, it was actually settled.

The imperial court could not afford to raise millions of soldiers and horses, but because the Southern Qi and Southern Liang always wanted to invade and repeatedly violated the border, the imperial court did not dare to reduce the military system of Nanyang for generations.

When the emperor was still better, the imperial court would always try its best to allocate military salaries to the Nanyang army, although it was insufficient, but it was not too difficult.

When His Majesty first ascended the throne, the foundation was unstable, and there was a grain robbery case, and His Majesty was suspicious, and he immediately suspected the Nanyang Palace. Therefore, for so many years, the payment of military salaries has been very slow and procrastinating, and various reasons have been underpaid. It would be good to be able to give more than half, and the rest could only be found by Nanyang Wangfu itself.

Therefore, in the past 20 years, it can be said that it is the Nanyang Royal Mansion itself that has supported the Nanyang Army.

The court has done too obviously, year after year, Nanyang Wangfu can not rebel, which is enough to show loyalty. What is clear to the government and the opposition, can the generals and soldiers of the Nanyang Army know?

Therefore, if today's Nanyang Army says that it is loyal to Dachu, it is a discount, and loyalty to Nanyang Wangfu is real.

This is why His Majesty thinks that An Huajin's life is very important. If An Huajin has an accident and dies, the old Nanyang King will definitely not be able to stand it when he is old, and the Nanyang army will be scattered and will no longer serve the court.

For so many years, there is another reason why no one has been able to take over the Nanyang Army, that is, whether His Majesty trusts or distrusts someone who has the ability to put it aside first, except for the Nanyang Palace, who can supply the expenses of the Nanyang Army?

The several famous families in the world, the Gu family, the Wang family, the Xie family, and the Cui family, are generally capable, but the family heritage of the Shili heirloom family is all from the path of the text. Even if there are children and grandchildren in martial arts, they don't have much ability.

Who in the world dares to underestimate Nanyang Palace? In addition to being in charge of millions of soldiers and horses, the ability to raise millions of soldiers and horses is also unique.

Gu Qingyan had also generally understood it before, but listening to Anhua Jinxu's words, although he listened lightly, it was not difficult to understand how heavy a burden he carried behind these light words. He even regretted it a little, if he had known, he would not have let her work hard for three years.

A daughter's family supports such a big thing, and the old Nanyang King really didn't take him as a call for his daughter's family.

Uncle Sun came back soon and replied with a smile, "Little county lord, Niangniang said that she knows, she will satisfy you." ”

An Huajin nodded, "Auntie just loves me." ”

The queen really loves An Huajin very much, so she said that she ran away after beating Chu Chen, and it took the queen three months to clean up the aftermath to avoid Prince Shan's killing to Nanyang. The queen lives in the harem, and over the years, she has done everything she can do, and she can't do it helplessly, and she can't do it.

After a day of war and chaos, the next day, His Majesty seemed to have a breath of relief and buried Concubine Cheng in the mausoleum.

An Huajin sent Uncle Sun to send her to send the spirit, and Uncle Sun came back and said that Concubine Cheng's funeral was very deserted, and there were not many people to see her off, so nothing went wrong, and she was buried peacefully. A few people asked him about the little county lord, and Uncle Sun sighed and said that the little county lord was frightened by the death of the concubine, and he was sick in bed for a few days, and then he was just a little better, and Zhang Zaifu sent three hundred killers to break into the An family's old house to kill the little county lord.

He sighed as he spoke, and the people who listened shook their heads again and again, thinking that this little county lord was really unlucky. In the past, how many people envied An Huajin's identity from Nanyang Palace, but now I'm afraid no one envies it, this disaster has a lot of things, and it is hard to tell fortunes, if it is her, I am afraid that she will die early.

She didn't say anything about dying, and she knocked down Jang Jae-fu at once, which is really amazing.

In the next three days, His Majesty and the Qing Dynasty court, every day, there were officials who were dragged to the door of the vegetable market and beheaded for public display, all of which were unforgivable by the law for their heinous crimes. Because of His Majesty's resolute and resolute punishment, many people who were involved in the Zhang Mansion were scared half to death, and the system of reporting and admitting guilt has been very effective, and a large number of people present evidence every day.

From the evidence of small fights, to the real gradual turning over of big evidence, finally, five days later, the evidence of the grain robbery case 18 years ago really broke out.

Eighteen years ago, Zhang Zaifu was still the head of the household department, and he returned home in order to properly conceal the 500,000 deniers of grain hijacked by His Majesty in the grain robbery case. And where did the 500,000 denier grain go? It turned out to be secretly transported by water through the Huai River, and it was transported out of the Great Chu boundary through Guanmen, Fengyang, Tianfu, and Xining, and transported to Southern Qi and Southern Liang.

In other words, as early as eighteen years ago, Zhang Zaifu collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and took the military salary of the Nanyang Army to support the soldiers and horses of Nanqi and Nanliang!

The emperor vomited blood angrily, and his hands trembled as he held the evidence presented by Zhang Zaifu's cronies, and almost smashed the south study.

He never thought that Jang Jae-fu would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and as early as eighteen years ago.

He was very angry, his eyes were on fire, he couldn't hold back any longer, and ordered Gonggong Zhang, "Take a ride, I will go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see him." ”

Chu Chen chased people out of the capital, but no news has been sent back so far, which shows that the pursuit is not smooth. Jang Jae-fu and his wife are separated in two cells, and the emperor has not been seen so far. I really couldn't help it today.

For so many years, he suppressed the ordnance supervisor and did not transform the weapon, and he also had Zhang Zaifu's admonition. Zhang Zaifu always felt that the Nanyang Mansion would rebel one day, so he really believed it, how did he know that the person he trusted to put him at the head of the hundred officials was a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?

The emperor came to the prison in a rage, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department took someone to take over.

In the past few days, in addition to beheading for public display, the prison of the Criminal Department, the prison of Dali Temple, and the Yamen of Kyoto are all full of people, and the cells are not enough. Several yamen were busy, and they hadn't even slept well for a few days. Especially the people in the Criminal Department, they did not dare to relax and slack, for fear that something would happen to the prisoners who had not yet been convicted and punished by His Majesty, and the Criminal Department would also suffer and be questioned by His Majesty.

The emperor's face was unprecedentedly ugly, and after getting off the jade chariot, he asked the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "What about Zhang Huan?" ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department arched his hand, "Back to Your Majesty, people are watching day and night, and you are in prison." ”

"Lead the way, I'll meet him."

"Yes!"

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department led the way, while looking at His Majesty's face, Zhang Zaifu's confession was submitted from the Criminal Department, even he was surprised, thinking that for so many years, there is such a hand in the court that covers the sky and collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, which is deeply valued by His Majesty, how many things should he have betrayed the country?

Eight years ago, the person in charge of grain and grass in the household department was Zhang Zaifu's person, and it was difficult to ensure that he did not get in the way in the battle with Nanqi and Nanliang. Then, in the battle of Yuxueling, the father and son of the An family buried their bones in the battlefield, and there was also Zhang Zaifu's handwriting.

It's scary to think about!

If you say, Your Majesty is not a faint king, but also diligent, in addition to liking beauties, but also not negligent in political affairs, I didn't expect that after being fooled for so many years, anyone would burn their chest and lungs angrily, not to mention that this person is still the Ninety-Five.

Jang Jae-fu was locked up in the innermost room of the felony cell of the Criminal Department, which was dim and damp, with a corrosive musty smell.

Gonggong Zhang cautiously opened his mouth to persuade, "Your Majesty, it is better to bring the criminal for interrogation." ”

"No, you don't." Where can the emperor care about the musty smell in the prison now, he just wants to see Zhang Zaifu and ask him, what I can't do with him.

For so many years, Xu Yi was a high-ranking official, doted on his daughter, grandson, and gave everything he could. Even for the first emperor, the emperor never felt that it was very good. He is not unfilial, on the contrary, Zhang Jaefu is very popular with him.

Jang Jae-fu sat against the wall, no one tortured him, although he was wearing prisoner's clothes, he was still clean, and even his hair was meticulously combed, even if he became a prisoner, he was still not sloppy.

Hearing the movement, Zhang Zaifu closed his eyes and opened them, and saw the bright yellow figure coming with an angry face.

Zhang Zaifu's expression did not move, as if he had expected it.

"You all get out!" The emperor waved his hand to stand down.

Father-in-law Zhang swept it with a whisk, and the waiter hurriedly retreated outside.

"You go out too!" The emperor drove Zhang Gonggong.

Gonggong Zhang was stunned for a moment, and a little surprise surged in his heart, he has served His Majesty for many years, and His Majesty rarely even supports him. However, for a moment, he still obeyed the order and respectfully retreated.

After everyone retreated, the emperor stared at Zhang Zaifu deadly, "Zhang Huan, you are very good, you collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country eighteen years ago. What do you have to say? ”

Jang Jae-fu sat up straight, his face expressionless, "Your Majesty knows everything?" The old minister had nothing to say. ”

The Emperor's eyes erupted with fire, almost madness, "I told you to speak, you must speak!" Why do you say? Where can I not stand with you? Why did you collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? What's in it for you? ”

Jang Jae-fu suddenly laughed out loud, laughed out of tears, and the person was almost crazy, "Your Majesty is right, what is good for me, in fact, it is not good." It's just that I'm not afraid to tell you now, in fact, my father's surname is Qi, and my mother's surname is Liang. ”

Qi is the national surname of Southern Qi, and Liang is the national surname of Southern Liang.

The emperor was shocked for a moment, couldn't believe it, and was speechless.
