Chapter 445: Old Fox
"It makes sense that Lord Gao is afraid that the prince will pinch those silver to do evil, but if he doesn't pay the soldiers for a long time, isn't Lord Gao afraid that the more than 100,000 people in the Zhenbei Army will make a rebellion? Since the prince took over the Zhenbei Army, there will never be a convenient time for the tall man's household, right? ”
Chu Yu's words can be described as heart-wrenching.
It's almost like saying that your household is embarrassed by King Qi, right?
Lord Gao's face suddenly turned blue and red again, and he knelt in front of His Majesty with a plop.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has to be the master of your ministers. In the past two years, the treasury has been empty, and the ministers ...... There is no way for the minister to owe the salary of the Zhenbei Army, and the minister has played this matter to you. ”
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair finally slowly raised the dragon's head, and a pair of cloudy eyes flashed with the darkness of the vicissitudes of life.
He looked at the Household Gao Shangshu for a while, and then looked at Chu Yu for a while.
He sighed in a long breath.
"King Qi didn't do this properly, even if I owed him money, he shouldn't be in charge of his own affairs, so he left the evidence of Liu Mingtai's greed for ink. Chu Yu, you go back, let him hand over the remaining silver taels to me as soon as possible, I can not pursue him for his own crimes. ”
Chu Yu responded with a smile, and then raised his head and asked.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what about the salary of the Zhenbei Army? Do you also let Lord Gao tap lightly, it just so happens that Weichen is back here, and he can be escorted back. ”
The emperor pursed the corners of his lips and glanced at Chu Yu deeply, then turned his head and looked at Gao Shangshu.
Gao Shangshu immediately fell to the ground again.
"Back to Your Majesty, the accounts of the household department have not yet been cleared, and the salary is ...... The money will be sent out after a while. ”
The Emperor nodded slowly, "Did you hear me?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I heard it, but I couldn't go back to deal with the prince. It's better for the minister to wait in the capital for a while, and when Gao Shangshu sorts out the accounts, the minister will return to Qishan Mansion with the salary. ”
When Gao Shangshu heard this, he almost didn't come up in one breath and fainted.
Fortunately, at this time, the person who had been standing at the front of the civil and military officials moved.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."
The man was dressed in a red official robe, and the majesty on his face was even heavier than that of the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, which made people dare not offend easily.
I saw that he took the wat board and saluted the emperor, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, he turned around and looked at Chu Yu.
"The minister remembers that when the deserted city was incorporated into the fiefdom of King Qi, His Majesty had a decree that all the land on the side of the deserted city would be exempted from taxes for five years. But in order to take care of His Royal Highness King Qi, His Majesty also specially gave the entire Qishan Mansion a tax reduction of 20%, can't that silver be used for emergencies? The current accounts of the treasury are not clear, and the salaries of the other military camps have not been paid, so His Royal Highness the King must be special. ”
Old fox!
As soon as Qin Shou spoke, Chu Yu secretly sighed in his heart.
The other garrisons are also unable to pay silver, but they have you, the old fox, and the second prince of Qin Guifei behind their backs, even if they don't have money, they have never been short of silver.
Only King Qi is supported by himself.
In that case, don't blame him for calculating.
"Back to Your Majesty, the tax is also the silver of the court, and the prince does not dare to touch it. Moreover, although the climate of Qishan Mansion is not as bad as that of the deserted city, there is also a small half of the time in the cold winter season, and the output is already affected......"
The emperor raised his eyes, "What does King Naqi mean?" ”
