Chapter 768: The Mourning of the Great Sage King (1)
Jun Chenyuan did not answer her directly, but said: "I will investigate this matter carefully. The Great Xian King is Gu's uncle."
Qi Bao'er thought the same thing. He dared to rush into Prince Daxian's palace to carry out an assassination so boldly. This was a slap in the face of their royal family. How could His Highness, as the prince, endure such a tone?!
As for family ties, it's not that she doesn't give face to the Crown Prince in front of her, but that she really doesn't see any family ties between him and the Great Xian King.
There was actually a lot of contact between the Crown Prince and the Great Xian King, but Qi Baoer felt that the relationship between them was more like that of a gentleman, a student, and a minister to the future emperor.
It may also be that a country bumpkin like her cannot understand the family affection of the royal family. In her heart, family affection should be like that of her family members, instead of not contacting each other for non-official matters, and having to greet them first before speaking.
The two of them arrived at Prince Daxian's Mansion. The door of Prince Daxian's Mansion had already been hung with white silk ribbons, and they were crying a lot.
Ironically, compared to the peaceful but quiet days of the past, today's Prince Daxian's palace is extremely lively, with people everywhere coming to 'visit' after receiving news.
"See His Majesty the Crown Prince, I wish you well."
They are both juniors in each house, so as soon as they appeared, a crowd of people came over to greet them and salute them.
After Jun Chenyuan shouted, he and Qi Baoer ignored them and entered the mansion to the courtyard of the Great Xian King.
None of them were stupid, and they would not be ignorant to follow this kind of moment. It would not be a shameful thing, but would make others hate them. They all just watched the two people go away silently, and then gathered together in twos and threes to murmur.
What they are saying here——
"It turns out that the rumors are true. His Royal Highness and Lord Qi are on good terms."
"You are not talking nonsense. Lord Qi looks like a celestial being and has the posture of a saint. She is also very capable. Without mentioning her status as a god and her extraordinary abilities, let's just talk about the Ministry of War. I heard my second uncle say that after Lord Qi became the Minister,
Not only have they no longer been in arrears with their military pay, they have also received many more benefits in the military, and their food, clothing, and drinking supplies are at least a level higher than before."
"Your second uncle is stationed outside Yong'an City, right?"
"Yes, because we are so close, they are the ones who are responsible for any arrears in military pay. My family can get a lot of money just from the military pay."
He said mysteriously and in a low voice: "Don't you know? After Lord Qi took office, he asked people from the Ministry of War to go to the generals' mansions to register and create records, and even wrote IOUs in the name of the Ministry of War. Before my family's Chinese New Year, the Ministry of War
I just sent three thousand taels in silver notes, saying it was to repay the military pay that my second uncle had paid me before."
"Hi~~Really?"
His companion looked at him with a look of "You have never seen the world", "How can this be false? It's not just my house. Before the Chinese New Year, the Ministry of War sent money to many generals' homes. If you don't believe it, just ask. Isn't it true?
I'm just talking nonsense."
Not many people know about this matter, except for the generals, and the generals won't talk about it after they get the money.
how to say?
The imperial court had difficulties in the past, and each of the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue was very picky. After all, the national treasury was not just for the army. A country and a family had to spend money everywhere, and every minister of the Ministry of Revenue was not eager for a tael.
The money is broken into two petals and spent, and the destination of some money is naturally the one that can be dragged away...and military pay is generally classified by the Ministry of Household Affairs into the category of "moved away as much as possible".
Well, the reason is easy to say simple, not easy to say not easy, but what is not easy is the commander-in-chief of an army.
As long as the commander-in-chief of each army has not completely lost his conscience, he will not be able to watch his soldiers without enough food and clothing, who may encounter war at any time.
Except for a small number of ordinary people who can become generals, most of them come from aristocratic families.
One is indeed because of the relationship, and the other is that the aristocratic family has the foundation to cultivate generals.
To be a general is not just to grab a knife and rush out to kill the enemy. You need to know how to organize your troops, know how to control your subordinates, and have the ability to solve problems when you encounter them, etc. This is not something ordinary people can do.
Given the above premises, when the imperial court withholds military pay, most of the military commanders will first pay it out of their own pockets, and when the imperial court's military pay arrives, the generals will take back what they have taken out first.
Naturally, the Ministry of Household Affairs will see all this, and then, this matter of arrears will become more natural. Anyway, you military commanders have their own methods, don't be anxious, the treasury only has so much money, it should be spent on more urgent matters.
place.
This has already formed a cycle without even realizing it.
We all know that it is unreasonable to lead an army to fight on the battlefield with our lives, but still have to empty our family's wealth;
But what is unreasonable in the eyes of everyone is the opposite of the truth. What they think is unreasonable is that the Qilin State has a rule that the court only charges 30% of the war profits and goods, so the generals of each army should all be rich in the eyes of everyone.
It's oily; this person holds military power and can return countless profits and goods in battles, so naturally it feels unreasonable.
So when the young man heard his companion's words, he almost wrote out the envy in his eyes, "Your cousin is almost twelve, what do you think of me?"
His companions looked at him as if they were crazy. His second uncle's family was poor and he probably couldn't afford a decent dowry. How could there be someone who wanted to get married?
"Go, go, go, my cousin is still young, and my second aunt said there is no rush."
Then, the topic here began to change, and several people began to talk about the romance between a young man and a woman.
What they are saying over there——
"Hey, you said that the Great Wise King has not officially recognized Lord Qi, so what is in the hands of the Great Wise King...?"
The person next to him didn't wait for him to finish speaking and hurriedly elbowed him to stop him, "Are these things I should be curious about?"
"There are just a few of us, and no one else heard it. Is it surprising that none of you are curious at all?"
Those are the mysterious and invincible Shadowless Army with unknown numbers, and the Zhennan Army with nearly one million people!
Who wouldn't keep an eye on someone who is a bit ambitious?
"Curiousness shouldn't be our curiosity."
"That's right, we are just a bunch of bastards waiting to die." This man had a deep understanding of himself.
Not only him, but also those who are now in the Great Xian Prince's Mansion, are all in the same category in the eyes of everyone.
If it weren't for the lack of attention, the person who might offend the Tian family would not be the one to inquire about information.
Another person lowered his voice and said: "I think the Great Wise King should pass it on to Lord Qi. Think about it, have you ever heard that the Great Wise King treats other people the same way he treats Lord Qi?
Not to mention that she wants to be an adopted daughter, how many people can come into the palace of Prince Daxian at will?"
Everyone nodded in unison. Needless to say, if it wasn't the Great Xian Prince this time, or they were the ones in charge of the palace, they didn't know the true appearance of the Great Xian Prince's Mansion.
With the Great Sage King's "world-beating" appearance, it is said that many people should admire him, and this is indeed the case; and with the power he holds, it can be said that countless people want to have someone like the Great Sage King.
The son-in-law and the great virtuous king were willing to marry each other, even if they were to be concubines.
