Chapter 068: Deliberately ridiculing
readx;? The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly ethereal, as if she was thinking about something. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She recalled Gu Qingming's words again, and the words "outside must first be inside" touched her slightly.
I have to admit that Gu Qingming is right, the instability of the army is a big taboo in a country, even if the Queen Mother wants military power, she has to consider the status quo of those feudal kingdoms and borders.
What she wants to control is a stable Daning, not a turbulent Daning. What if the military power fell into Gu Qingming's hands? As long as Gu Qingming didn't have any objections, then she didn't have to mind.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother smiled again and said to Gu Qingming: "Gu Qingjia, get up quickly." Fang Cai was not thoughtful, but fortunately Gu Qingjia reminded him. ”
"The Queen Mother is serious, and Weichen is just telling the truth. When Gu Qingming heard this, he was also relieved in his heart and opened his mouth like this.
Between the words, a struggle for military power, a secret war between the superiors, has disappeared invisibly.
The Queen Mother's concession this time was selfish, but this concession also allowed Shen Ze to take the lead. The queen mother and the emperor are filial piety in front of people, but the queen is turbulent.
Gu Qingming's attitude was calm, but it made the Queen Mother's suspicions gradually disappear, she only thought that Gu Qingming was a martial artist who could march and fight, but she didn't understand the court's power schemes, and she was quite relieved of him.
"The Gu Qing family hasn't been to Jianzhang Palace for a long time, let's not talk about any military power and army today, the mourning family only asks you, Miss Wu has been left in the palace by the mourning family for so long, you really don't want to?" The queen mother glanced at Wu Qianwen beside her and teased.
At this time, Wu Qianwen had already been attracted by Gu Qingming's bearing.
Fang Cai's words, Gu Qingming naturally showed his character as the backbone behind the gate, his words were orderly, his thoughts were clear, his expression was calm and unhurried, he was handsome and starry, he raised his hand and had an extraordinary bearing, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had already captured the heart of Miss Wu family.
Even though she had agreed to his plan at first for her father's last wishes, she was ...... She really couldn't let him go.
Miss Wu's face had a hint of her daughter's shyness, and when she saw the Queen Mother mention herself, she immediately hid her face, a little embarrassed, it was really like her heart was moved, and it dispelled the doubts in the Queen Mother's heart.
The Queen Mother teased. Gu Qingming's heart moved, remembering what Yun Yao had brought to him with Xiaoyinzi, and then said naturally, "Qianwen lives in the palace, Weichen is very relieved, the Queen Mother has always treated the people below preferentially, and even the palace people have extra money deposited in the bank, let alone Qianwen?"
"Yes, the Queen Mother, Qianwen has been bothering in the palace for a long time, and the palace people have not neglected everything, which makes Qianwen a little embarrassed. Wu Qianwen followed Gu Qingming's words and said so.
"Haha-you girl, you can talk. The Queen Mother listened to Wu Qianwen's words and was in a happy mood, but then as if she remembered something, she turned her head and asked Gu Qingming, "By the way, Gu Qing's family, what happened to the palace people you said had extra money saved in the money bank?"
"Coincidentally, when I came out of the barracks yesterday and returned home, I met my father-in-law Ying from the procurement department on the street, so I chatted a few words. Knowing that he had deposited all the money in the Huitong Money Village outside the palace, he waited for the age to come, stepped down from the position of the head of the procurement department, and then asked for the grace of the queen mother and went out of the palace to enjoy the blessings. Gu Qingming said this as if he was chatting.
"This father-in-law Ying is also really, how much silver can he have, and he spends a lot in the palace, and he can save money, which is also his ability. The Queen Mother chuckled, and then stopped mentioning it.
The matter of Father-in-law Ying was lightly brushed off like this, but Gu Qingming looked at the splendid expression with a puzzled expression, and knew that today's matter was completed.
After a delay in Jianzhang Palace for a while, Gu Qingming took advantage of his busy military affairs to resign from the Queen Mother and leave the palace.
After Gu Qingming left, Wu Qianwen showed a look of amazement in her eyes, but this gaze was seen by the Queen Mother, and she had more plans in her heart.
"Queen Mother, the people's daughter has been disturbing Niangniang for a long time today, and it is time to retire. After Gu Qingming's figure completely disappeared, Wu Qianwen asked the Queen Mother to resign.
"The mourning family knows, Gu Qing's family is gone, and your girl's heart is also gone, okay, I won't keep you, you go back to the room, and go to the courtyards around the palace when you have time, so as not to be suffocated in Jianzhang Palace. The Queen Mother reminded very affectionately.
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Wu Qianwen performed an extremely standard palace salute and turned to leave.
Suddenly, only the Queen Mother and Jinxiu were left in the hall, as well as the two second-class palace maids guarding the door.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid has noticed something, something is wrong. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the temple, Jinxiu spoke.
"What's the matter?" the Queen Mother looked faint, leaned on the soft couch, closed her eyes and recuperated.
"The father-in-law in General Gu's mouth has a big problem. "This man is not a simple man, but he is very fond of money and is extremely luxurious. The position of the head of the procurement department is only two or two cases of silver a month, and according to his flowers, where will he get the rest to be deposited in the bank?"
Jinxiu expressed all her doubts, and saw that the Queen Mother had opened her eyes, obviously interested in this matter, so she spoke again: "What's more, the slave maid heard that the Huitong Money Village is deposited at five taels of silver, because the interest given there is high, so the requirements are also strict, and not all people can become customers of the Huitong Bank, so ......"
"Are you suspected of Father-in-law Ying's corruption?" The Queen Mother quickly understood what Jinxiu meant, but she obviously didn't intend to care about such a trivial matter, "It's just the head of the procurement department, the procurement department is rich enough in oil and water, if he can really not be tempted in this position, the mourning family will also admire him." It's not a big deal, don't bother. ”
After speaking, the Queen Mother waved her hand and continued to close her eyes.
"The Queen Mother, the head of the procurement department embezzles some money, which is not a big deal, but it is a big deal to deceive the upper and lower levels. Jinxiu thought about it, or said, "At the end of last year, Beidi came to attack, General Qin led the army to resist the enemy, in order to ensure military salaries, the palace cut expenses, and all palaces and ministries have achieved results, but only the expenses of the procurement department have increased instead of decreasing, now think about it, this money is afraid that it has been embezzled by Ying Gonggong." If it was in normal times, it would be fine, but he took advantage of the national disaster to make a fortune...... General Qin is also the Empress Dowager's own nephew, and this triumphant return will be enough, if there is a next ......"
Hearing Jinxiu mention Qin Yuankai, the Queen Mother opened her eyes suddenly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes.
Qin Yuankai is her own nephew, this blood relationship is needless to say, plus Qin Yuankai has been talented since he was a child, and he has a very high talent for marching and fighting, and he is also one of the people who can be reused by the Queen Mother now.
The bit of silver embezzled by Father-in-law Ying is only the tip of the iceberg for military salaries, but this shows Father-in-law Ying's attitude, only greedy for money, regardless of the life or death of Qin Yuankai and the army. This time it's a small greed, it's hard to guarantee that the next time it's not a big greed, if Qin Yuankai has an accident because of this, and the Queen Mother loses a right-hand man, then this father-in-law's sin will be great......
"Go and find out this matter to the mourning family, the mourning family wants to see how much silver this father-in-law is greedy for in the palace. The Queen Mother commanded in a deep voice.
"Wow. Jinxiu bowed down, and after serving the Queen Mother to take a nap, she went out to run errands.
The people under the Queen Mother were well-trained and extremely efficient, and they soon went out of the palace and went to Huitong Money Village to find out about Father-in-law Ying's affairs.
But it turned out that in the past year, Ying Gonggong took advantage of the day of procurement to go to the money bank every month, and a deposit was dozens of taels of silver.
This is a few dozen taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people in Daning to live a good life for two years, but he is just the father-in-law of the procurement department, and he is such a big deal when he makes a move, and there are so many of them every month.
"Queen Mother, this is the confession of the manager of Huitong Qianzhuang, these are the stubs of the vouchers that my father-in-law goes to deposit silver every month. Jinxiu handed over the evidence found outside the palace to the Queen Mother.
"Why is it that all of a sudden, in these months, the amount of silver has increased almost twice as much? The Queen Mother flipped through the stubs, found clues, and frowned and asked.
"This is also what the slave maid finds strange. Jinxiu said, "According to the manager of Huitong Qianzhuang, in the past few months, when Ying Gonggong went back to save money, he divided it into two parts, although he kept his stubs, but he opened two accounts. ”
"It's still a cat in this matter, it seems that there is more than one silverfish in this palace. The Queen Mother said, "I'm tired, I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, find out clearly, and do what you should do." ”
"Wow. Jinxiu got the order of the Queen Mother, so she went to investigate thoroughly.
With the evidence of Ying's father-in-law's corruption, things will not be difficult to do, and he will recruit everything if he sends Ying's father-in-law to the area of the Shen Criminal Division, and after a few boards.
Among these silvers, there is also a copy of Aunt Yuehe of the Ting Palace, Aunt Yuehe was brought out by Aunt Yuehe in the past, and since Xiao Yuanzi's accident, the people in the alliance have become Ying Gonggong.
When Father-in-law Ying was taken to the Shen Criminal Division, Lu Yingquan happened to stay in Aunt Yue's room and told Aunt Yue about Yun Yao's movements.
"I secretly read it, on the plain paper under Yun Yao's pillow, there is a love poem, which shows that she and the people outside the palace have private teachings, if she catches this handle, then Yun Yao will have no power to fight back. Lu Yingquan said.
According to Yun Yao's meaning, she continued to pretend to be stupid and complained to Aunt Yue, this "love poem" is also an excuse that she came up with after thinking about it for a long time, because such an excuse is simply untenable, and even she has a way to refute it, let alone Yun Yao?
"Are you telling the truth?" Aunt Yue listened to Lu Yingquan's words, and her heart was excited, "If Yun Yao really has an affair with a certain chamberlain, then this is a capital crime!"
"Of course it's true, that plain note is still lying under Yun Yao's pillow, it looks like she is very precious, and she has to read it every night before going to bed. Lu Yingquan swore with a swear on his face, so that Aunt Yue had already believed seven or eight points.
After all, in the eyes of Aunt Yue, Lu Yingquan will not lie, and he will say whatever he sees with a tendon.
Therefore, if it is really a love poem on the plain paper, it is ironclad evidence of Yun Yao's death!
