"Tell me!" The old man raised his eyes and looked at Guo Ying, "Sold your official position? Sold military supplies? Private salt? War horse? Did you commit any forbidden thing? Or did you bully men and dominate women?"
"Not even..." Guo Ying lowered his head and murmured, "Don't you know that I can never find you for these things!"
Indeed, among the founding nobles, no one has ever found fault with Guo Ying's personal integrity.
"What is that?" The old man looked at him again, "Oh? We understand, you see that the old minister is no longer popular, so you just want to stop being an eyesore in the capital, right?"
"How dare I!" Guo Ying waved her hand, "The emperor has always treated me with kindness and kindness, how dare I have such thoughts!" As he said that, he peeked at the old man and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, get out!" The old man waved his hand.
"I have not committed a crime in the hands of the emperor, but have violated the national laws of the Ming Dynasty!" Guo Ying kowtowed.
The old man said angrily, "Then it's still in his hands, isn't it? Tell me what's going on!"
Guo Ying lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Since last year, the emperor has been checking the ranks in the army. You also know that in the past years, veterans have been in the army. It is inevitable that there will be some people who can't let go. They are orphans and widowed mothers who have no whereabouts. There are also some
We are old, and life is tight..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man said directly, "Are you getting free money?"
"How do you know?" Guo Ying looked up in shock.
The old man smiled and said, "Keep talking!"
At the same time, he thought to himself, "This matter didn't happen in a day or two. If we don't know about this little thing right under our noses, then we're still a shitty emperor!"
However, the old man's temperament is like this. When everyone is happy, he will tell the truth but not tell the truth. When he falls out, it is irrefutable proof. Besides, he has been fighting for a lifetime, and he understands that in the military, there is really no fish in the water.
There are only so many ways military attaches can be greedy for money. As long as they don't go too far and don't harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty, they can just muddle along.
Song Taizu said that it is better for ten civil servants to be greedy for money than for one general to rebel, so he condoned the corruption of civil servants. But in the eyes of the old man, military generals are all bitter, and scholars are the most evil-hearted.
"So, I have been receiving some free pay in the army these years, and some people are receiving military pay even if they are not on the military roll." Guo Ying said, observing the old man's expression, and said, "There are also those in the Beijing camp.
There are also some discrepancies in the account books over the years, as well as things like food damage, cloth, fodder, iron materials, etc."
Although these are inconspicuous, over time they can amount to a huge amount of money.
"In addition, when the minister's son served as the commander of the local capital, he also made several holes, and the farmland was unclear. Now the emperor has asked the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office to investigate, and these things will be exposed sooner or later. So I thought, still
It’s better to retire now..."
"Well, the abacus beads are good. From now on, you can call me Guo Dabaan!" The old man suddenly opened his eyes and sneered, "If you go back to your hometown, it will be difficult for our eldest grandson to pursue you, right?"
"I can't hide all my thoughts from you!" Guo Ying sneered, took another blanket and covered the old man's legs.
"Hide it?" The old man put his hands on his chest and sighed, "You are not only hiding it, you are also lying!" He said angrily, "You should be killed for lying to me!"
"I don't dare!" Guo Ying couldn't help but kowtow.
"Don't you dare, you are treating us like a monkey!" The old man kicked Guo Ying over and said angrily, "As if we don't know, eating empty wages, drinking soldiers' blood and all those stupid accounts that don't match up, are we?
Idiot Cao and the others did it. Now that you, Mr. Guo, are all on your own head, do you think we are reluctant to kill you, or are you deliberately using this as an excuse to return to your hometown?"
Guo Ying was trembling with fear, her face was pale, and she was speechless.
"You are so stupid!" the old man scolded again, "If we don't tell you some things, is it because we don't know? We can pretend not to know, but you can't lie to us? You have served us all your life, and the longer you live, the more you return."
As he said that, the old man seemed to understand something, "Oh, Idiot Cao asked you to come? Idiot Cao asked you to protect him because he saw something bad going on?"
"No!" Guo Ying kowtowed, "It's me myself!" He said, choking, "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to lie to you, I don't want you to..."
"Why don't you want us to do it?" the old man said angrily.
"I don't want you to worry about me anymore!" Guo Ying burst into tears.
Instantly, the old man's expression softened.
I don't want you to bother anymore, which means I don't want you to beg the emperor.
Old people are pitiful. Even ordinary old people cannot have a commanding tone towards their children and grandchildren. What's more, his grandson is now the emperor of the empire. He has to worry about his grandson's face and support his decision. In turn,
His grandson did the same to him.
The emperor will give him face, but the old man doesn't want to open his mouth to his children and grandchildren all the time without asking for help from anyone.
This is not a family matter, but a national matter.
"I came to see you today. Cao Zhen and the others didn't know. I didn't tell them that 2i was all on me. I thought it was better to leave this matter to me than to Cao Zhen and the others. After all...
..”
"After all, you have a lot of face!" the old man sneered.
"I..." Guo Ying raised his head, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, "Your Majesty, there are not many of the old brothers now. I can't bear to see them making mistakes in their old age, thinking about
Brothers who have been together for decades, I will help them again when I can."
"Actually, they all know they are wrong. Ever since the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, each one of them is like an ant on a hot pot..."
"Come here! Did you just say that idiot Cao got the little widow pregnant? What kind of ant is he?" the old man sneered.
"It's just because he has a son that he is even more worried!" Guo Ying said. "While he was drinking, He Chen kept sighing. He said that the emperor knew about it and might not care about him, but he did not care about his children and grandchildren.
..."
"You still haven't told the truth!" The old man kicked Guo Ying fiercely, "You are afraid that one day the emperor will reveal this account, and those of you who really took advantage of their free wages and shared their money, all of you will
Unlucky, isn’t it?”
Dong Dong, Guo Ying said nothing and kept kowtowing.
"Let us tell you what you are good at?" The old man pointed at Guo Ying, "You... Guo Laosi, you are a well-intentioned bastard!" He cursed and leaned back, "We can't control this matter.
Now that the emperor is in charge, he has the final say whether to kill or behead him, so don’t look for me!"
"Your Majesty!" Guo Ying was anxious.
As an emperor and as a courtier, if this matter is not revealed, it will always be a big trouble.
"Get out!" The old man kicked Guo Ying again, pointed at Guo Ying's nose and cursed, "You are the closest person to us, and you are also playing tricks with us? Ah? You don't know our temper? If you enter the palace,
When you meet me, tell me everything, and I’ll even speak for you!”
"But you have to go around in such a big circle and make us feel unhappy. How can we make you happy?"
"Our eldest grandson hasn't attacked you now, it's because of our old face. You are not a smart person. You should have explained these things to him a long time ago. Why are you blind today?"
"I am thinking..."
"I didn't expect that the emperor would rectify the bad things in the army so quickly, right?" The old man interrupted Guo Ying, "How big a brain do you, Mr. Guo, have? You're such a mess yourself, and you're helping idiot Cao to have sex? You're his father?
?”
Then, he waved his hand and said, "Get out of the palace. If you want to go back to your hometown, you can go back. The emperor does whatever he likes, we don't care!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and ignored it.
"Your Majesty!" Guo Ying did not move, but looked at the old man, "I was wrong! I shouldn't have hid it from you!" He said, paused for a moment, "Tomorrow, I will tell the Emperor how to punish him.
"As he spoke, he continued to kowtow and said, "Please, Your Majesty, look at my little affection and allow me to stay in the capital and stay with you, Your Majesty!"
The old man said nothing and his eyelids moved.
"From now on, I will accompany you, your Majesty, to listen to plays, hunt, farm and raise livestock every day!" Guo Ying added, "Although I am old, I have not lost my ability to grow crops..."
"Go away!" The old man suddenly opened his eyes, "Go away! We understand!"
~~
Guo Ying's back was covered in cold sweat, and she quickly left the palace with her head lowered.
As soon as he left the palace and entered his carriage, the people in the carriage approached him, "Fourth brother, are you ready?"
Guo Ying pushed the other person away in disgust, "Can't you rinse your mouth? Your mouth is like a toilet?"
"Ha!" That person was none other than Cao Zhen. He breathed into his palm, then smelled it, "How can it be so evil?" He asked, "Is it done?"
"It's done!"
"What did the emperor say?"
"He said he got it!"
Hearing this, Cao Zhen was stunned, "Understood?"
"Your Majesty said that knowing it means everything is fine! If he wants to just leave it like that, that's a bad thing!" Guo Ying let out a long breath, "At least I passed the test. I'm covered in white hair and sweat!" He said, he said,
Cao Zhen glanced at him and said, "You fucking bitch!"
"You came up with this move yourself, why are you scolding me?" Cao Zhen refused and rolled up his sleeves and said, "I owe you a favor, but you can't scold me!"
"What are you waiting for?" Guo Ying asked, glaring at him.
Cao Zhen thought about it, "Take your life?"
"Get lost!" Guo Ying cursed and sighed, "This matter is considered complete. No one in the army will lose his head!"
The most terrifying thing about this matter is that if the emperor really pursues it seriously, he will do it one by one. Almost none of them, the people who served under the noble Huaixi nobles at the time, will be spared.
"Either way, Fourth Brother, you are more upright!" Cao Zhen gave a thumbs up.
"Fuck your grandma!" Guo Ying cursed again.
~~
In Yong'an Palace, the old man stood up from his chair and walked slowly towards the bed.
"Ha!" Halfway through, he suddenly smiled.
"What are you?" Pu Bucheng asked in confusion.
"We just discovered today that that bastard Guo Laosi is quite good at acting!" The old man said with a smile, "It's hard for him. He has endured his bad temper for so many years! He's just pretending to be stupid!"
