Knowing what was happening in the capital, Qin Jiyan knew that it was urgent to return to the capital.
After dismissing the secret guards, Qin Jiyan asked people to invite Prince Pingxi and Feng Sijin. Qin Jiyan did not hide anything from them, and directly told them about the emptying of the treasury and the reason why the old emperor summoned him back to the capital. Qin Jiyan
Yan also pointed out.
Although the old emperor did not handle this matter honestly, as the crown prince and the future master of the Qin Dynasty, he must shoulder this matter.
"The fifth prince emptied the treasury? Your Highness, are you sure you are not joking?" When Prince Pingxi heard this, he immediately lost his composure. He, who was not young, jumped up from his chair.
The money in the national treasury was accumulated by generations of emperors in the Qin Dynasty. It was not an ordinary serious matter to be emptied out.
If the news gets out, Great Qin will be doomed.
"How can I be joking about such a big matter?" Qin Jiyan told Prince Pingxi silently with a solemn face that what he said was the truth and couldn't be more true.
"How is this possible?" Prince Pingxi seemed to have lost all his strength for a moment and fell down on his chair. "How stupid does the fifth prince have to be to let others empty the treasury?"
A mountain of money will be gone if you just say it’s gone?
"How can we transport so much money out of the city without leaving a trace? This is completely impossible?" Prince Pingxi could not accept this fact.
This is so terrible.
Throughout history, this has never happened.
"There is no need to transport it out. The money may still be in the capital, but we can't find it. The other party doesn't really want to use the money, but is waiting for us, the Qin State, to be unable to come up with the money, causing political instability and confusion among the people.
"Feng Sijin has calmed down, at least he didn't lose his composure like Prince Pingxi.
"That's right," Qin Jiyan nodded, agreeing with Feng Sijin's opinion, "the other party is taking the opportunity to disrupt the internal affairs of Qin. If I am not wrong, Northern Qi should be ready to attack us."
No matter which force did this, Northern Qi must have had a hand in it.
The army burns countless amounts of money every day. If the Qin treasury can't get out the money, how can it raise troops and horses?
If there is no money to raise troops and horses, how can we fight against Xihu and Northern Qi?
At that time, Da Qin will only be subjugated.
When Prince Pingxi heard this, his expression changed drastically, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. You must return to Beijing as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. If the other party's conspiracy succeeds, we will be in danger."
"Don't worry, Prince, I will return to the capital as soon as possible to handle the matter. Regarding military matters, I can only leave it to the Prince and Lord Feng." Qin Jiyan summoned the two of them to prepare for returning to the capital.
.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness." Prince Pingxi assured with a pat on his chest.
This time, Qin Jiyan left the army behind to do business. Feng Sijin would never hold back at this time. Feng Sijin promised with a serious face: "I will definitely guard the border and repel the Xihu people.
.”
There is no family without a country. If the Qin Dynasty were to destroy the country, as the people of the Qin Dynasty, they would have no protection from the country and would have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
"I believe in you. You don't have to worry about matters in the capital. No matter what, I will ensure the supply of the army and will never let you lack food and clothing on the front line." This was Qin Jiyan's guarantee.
"I will also distribute every cent of the pensions for soldiers who died in battle." Qin Jiyan said again.
Prince Pingxi and Feng Sijin didn't know where Qin Jiyan's confidence came from, but they knew that Qin Jiyan didn't just talk casually, and he would definitely do what Qin Jiyan said.
After Qin Jiyan handed over the affairs to Prince Pingxi and Feng Sijin, he immediately returned to the camp and summoned secret guards and soldiers.
Qin Jiyan did not tell Gu Qiancheng what happened, but he did not hide it from Gu Qiancheng when he gave the order.
"According to my order, take out the batch of gold sand, make it into gold bricks, and divide it into three parts. One part will be sent to the Feng Family Army, one part will be sent here, and the last part will be sent back to the capital."
"Take out all the silver that I have in Northern Qi and Xihu and transport it secretly back to Da Qin."
"Send someone to keep an eye on Jiangnan."
"Arrange for someone to send this letter to Feng Yuqian. Remember, it must be delivered to him personally."
…
Qin Jiyan continued to issue orders one after another, without giving his soldiers and secret guards any time to breathe. But even so, Qin Jiyan spoke for a full quarter of an hour before stopping, and issued dozens of orders.
The secret guards and soldiers looked serious. After receiving Qin Jiyan's order, they did not dare to delay for a moment and retreated one by one.
After everyone left, Gu Qiancheng came over with a cup of ginseng tea and asked, "What happened?"
Putting the tea down, he walked around behind Qin Jiyan and gently pressed his temples.
She could tell that Qin Jiyan was very, very tired...
"You should have noticed that Da Qin is short of money, so I had to take out the previous batch of gold and use it." That batch of gold was the gold sand they dug out from under the abandoned city. Those abandoned cities were where they were at that time.
It was obtained from the Emperor of Northern Qi.
"Isn't Daqin always rich? Why is there suddenly no money and the treasury has been emptied?" Gu Qiancheng just said it casually, but she got it right.
"You're right. The treasury of Great Qin has been emptied. Now Great Qin doesn't have a penny of money. It can't even pay out the military pay for the next season. I have to use money to make up for the shortfall." Qin Jiyan had a headache.
road.
Although he was sure that the money was still in Da Qin, Jin Yiwei couldn't find it, so where could he look for it at the moment?
In order not to delay the various ministries, especially the military pay, he must first use money as a cushion, so that he can have a deposit in hand, otherwise he really doesn't know what to do with this matter.
Gu Qiancheng was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said in disbelief: "The treasury was emptied? How is this possible?" Under the eyes of the old emperor, who emptied the treasury? Who is so awesome?
"There is such a fool in the royal family. Let alone the treasury and the Qin Dynasty, it is not surprising for me." Qin Jiyan looked contemptuous, and Gu Qiancheng knew who it was without asking.
"Fifth prince? Whose trick did he fall into?" Gu Qiancheng really didn't know that the fifth prince could be so stupid. In her impression, although the fifth prince was naive, he had grown up in the past few years.
You act much more maturely than before, how could you make such a terrible mistake?
To put it bluntly, the fifth prince is the sinner of the Qin Dynasty, and he must be blamed for his death.
"On the surface, it looks like they are Beiqi and Xihu. I don't know if there is anyone else who can be with them secretly. I need to investigate this matter carefully." The appearance of the Immortal Sect was too coincidental, and Qin Jiyan had to go to Immortality.
Thinking about the door.
Gu Qiancheng nodded, "I'll go back with you. Maybe I can help a little." She was better at finding evidence and inferring the case than His Highness Qin.
"I planned to take you with me, and I need your help in this matter." Qin Jiyan never thought about leaving Gu Qiancheng in a military camp full of men.
Besides, this matter seemed dangerous, but if it was done properly, both he and Gu Qiancheng would benefit.
Needless to say, it is inevitable for him to lose all his fame, wealth, and power, and Gu Qiancheng has made great contributions in recovering the lost money from the treasury. She will be a hero of the Qin Dynasty. By then, she will still have to worry that Gu Qiancheng is not qualified to be the emperor's wife.
Concubine Sun?
The loss of money from the treasury is a big deal, and he, Qin Jiyan, wants to use this matter to pave a beautiful road for Gu Qiancheng!
