Chapter 275: Unworthy of Being
Qi Wenfu frowned slightly: "Do you suspect that Empress Dowager Qian secretly supported others?" ”
Su Ruan shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel thin?" 's death is too coincidental, and the matter of Zhang Ning is too strange. ”
Su Ruan scratched the orange's chin, and his voice was shallow.
"I don't know how much silver there is in the treasury, it will not be less than hundreds of thousands of taels, but the Bo family has obtained so much silver, but they have been trying their best to collect money and try their best to get more silver."
"So much silver, if you really take all of it to the garrison, not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops, but there are always tens of thousands, right?"
"But Master Xie and they went to Zhangning, and what they found were only thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, to put it mildly, these people may not even have enough of the refugees who fled from Jingnan at the beginning."
"And ......"
Speaking of the refugees in Jingnan, Su Ruan paused before continuing:
"Fourth Brother Qi has never thought that maybe the matter of Jingnan at the beginning, the Bo family was also calculated."
"Yue Qian went to find Xie Hou and Lord Lin, maybe it was a temptation, but what he said about Min Chengyuan and them gathering refugees through the Jingnan natural disaster and selecting strong people to hoard the army from them may not be false."
"After all, Da Chen is not a chaotic court, the emperor is a mediocre court, although the emperor is indecisive and not decisive enough, but he is still clear in most political affairs."
"Under the rule of the emperor, there are no rebel forces among the ministers, and in recent years, except for the chaotic people who were forced to start an incident during the natural disaster in Jingnan but quickly suppressed it, no one wants to rebel under any banner."
"It's easy to garrison troops in troubled times, but it's almost impossible to garrison troops in an era when the world is peaceful."
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty is not a stupid person, he is indeed soft-natured, and he lacks the emperor's decision, and even has some weakness in the court, but he is the emperor in the end.
Da Chen has not had a civil strife for many years, and the world is peaceful, but anyone who wants to garrison troops will be noticed when they first make a move, and the only thing that will not be noticed is probably only like taking advantage of the natural disaster in Jingnan to take advantage of the chaos to plunder civilian troops.
No one knows how many people died in Jingnan back then, and no one can say how many people are missing.
The number of deaths recorded in the state and county records is only a general figure after the disaster.
Not to mention whether the number is accurate, even if it is accurate, who can be sure that those people really died in that natural disaster, or were they taken advantage of the opportunity to be plundered and transformed into the army, becoming pawns in the hands of others?
Yue Qian's father and son, who were far away in Jingnan, probably never thought that they could make Su Ruan guess most of the truth with just one sentence.
Qi Wenfu listened to the words from Su Ruan's mouth, and his face changed.
He subconsciously wanted to say that it was impossible, but there was a voice in his heart saying that what Su Ruan said might not be impossible.
Just like Su Ruan said, there are so many people in Dachen, and the imperial court has to recruit soldiers every two or three years, and almost all the soldiers and generals of the right age from all over the country have joined the military ranks of the DPRK and China, if others want to garrison troops, is it easy?
It doesn't matter what you do in private, but once you compete with the court for troops, you will never be able to hide it.
In addition, if you want to garrison troops, I am afraid that you can only take advantage of the chaos to "rob people" at the time of natural disasters, so as not to alarm the imperial court or Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he thought of this, Qi Wenfu's eyes instantly became a little gloomy.
If Su Ruan's guesses were true, then Jing Nantian had become a shocking situation from beginning to end.
Natural disasters are uncontrollable, but the hearts of people under natural disasters have been darkened.
Thin? The reason why he went to touch the disaster relief money and food was to fill the vacancy in the military department, but in fact he was being used, and the people behind him were not for the silver at all.
They are to make the disaster in Jingnan more serious, and also to make Jingnan more chaotic, and it is more convenient for them to plunder a steady stream of victims from it.
Thin? became a pawn, and was used by people from beginning to end.
But the person who hid in the shadows was so mad that for his own selfishness, he turned the whole of Jingnan into a Shura hell, and made those ordinary people who were not enough to choose for them become outcasts.
To make such a big situation, just to garrison troops.
They're just damn it!
Qi Wenfu's eyebrows were full of gloomy colors, and Su Ruan's eyes were also cold when he vaguely touched the truth.
She is the same person as Qi Wenfu, and she can use all means to use all the people who can be used for the purpose.
But they have a bottom line in their hearts, and they also have a conscience that must not be crossed in the past, if they don't even have this bottom line and conscience, then they are really unworthy of being human!
Qi Wenfu opened his mouth and said, "So you suspect Empress Dowager Qian? ”
Su Ruan nodded: "I heard that the relationship between Empress Dowager Qian and the Bo family is not good. ”
Qi Wenfu pursed his lips and said, "The early years were not good. ”
"Empress Dowager Qian is not the daughter of the Bo family, she is a little similar to you, after losing her father at a young age, she remarried into the Bo family with her mother."
"It's just that Empress Dowager Qian's life is not good, the Bo family is a high-ranking family, and the identity of Empress Dowager Qian's biological father is too low, the Bo family is unwilling to let Empress Dowager Qian join the Bo clan, and her mother is also bent on clinging to the Bo family, so she agreed to this matter and let Empress Dowager Qian stay in the Bo family as a daughter of the Qian family."
"Later, a daughter of the Bo family was valued by the first emperor at that time and recruited into the palace to seal the concubine, and after being pregnant, she felt unwell in every way, so the first emperor made an exception to let his sister Qian, who had the best relationship with Bo Guifei, enter the palace to accompany her."
"Who would have thought that the Bo Guifei had a corpse and two lives at the time of childbirth, the first emperor was heartbroken, and was comforted by the Empress Dowager Qian, and two months after the death of the Bo Guifei, he named the Empress Dowager Qian as a nobleman and let her enter the palace to accompany her."
When Su Ruan heard Qi Wenfu's words, he couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, man!"
Concubine Bo died less than two months before she was able to crown her sister as a nobleman, and the first emperor was not a thing.
Qi Wenfu listened to the disdainful words in Su Ruan's mouth, his face twitched, and he raised his eyes to look at her.
Su Ruan said: "I didn't talk about you. ”
Qi Wenfu: "......"
Speaking seriously, why do you suddenly feel that something is wrong?
Qi Wenfu coughed lightly, turned the topic back, and continued:
"Before Empress Dowager Qian entered the palace, the relationship with the Bo family was indeed not good, I heard that the old lady of the Bo family was very unfamiliar with her at that time, and the children of the Bo family treated her very harshly, only the Bo Guifei had the best relationship with her."
"But later, after the death of Concubine Bo, Empress Dowager Qian entered the palace again and received holy favor, so she gradually eased the relationship with the Bo family, and the Bo family also began to support Empress Dowager Qian and the child she gave birth to, that is, the current emperor."
