After confirming that Qin Jiyan would not choose a concubine at the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet, Gu Qiancheng felt at ease. She had known Qin Jiyan for so long, and of course she knew Qin Jiyan's uncompromising character. He said that he would not choose a concubine at the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet.
If you choose a concubine, you will definitely not do it, even if the old emperor puts pressure on you.
Apart from the matter of choosing a concubine, Gu Qiancheng also paid attention to Qin Jiyan's recent work, "Your Highness, is the search for the missing money from the treasury not going well?" Looking at His Highness Qin's silent look, he knew that the matter was very difficult.
There was no outside news about this matter. Except for Qin Jiyan's confidants, no one else knew anything about it. Gu Qiancheng couldn't find out even if he wanted to.
"It didn't go very well. The clues were interrupted." Qin Jiyan couldn't help but frown when he thought of the boxes of banknotes.
The counterfeit banknote is an important key to the case. If they can't tell the authenticity from the fake, how can they follow the clues?
Gu Qiancheng nodded and did not ask for specific details. He only said: "With so much money, as long as you are still in the capital, you will definitely be able to find it."
"It's easy to find money, but it's hard to find the person behind the scenes. The counterfeit banknotes made by the other party are enough to look like the real thing. Unless the person is found, this kind of thing will happen again." Da Qin's treasury was finally full, but it couldn't survive
Such a fuss.
"Your Highness, if you don't mind, can you let me take a look at those banknotes?" Although there is no high-tech inspection equipment, it is very difficult to distinguish between true and false with the naked eye, but Gu Qiancheng still hopes that he can do his part.
force.
"Are you free now? Aren't you going to the Feng family and the Yan family? There is also the Wu family, which you haven't met yet." Qin Jiyan certainly hopes that Gu Qiancheng can help. This case does not require contact with dead people and can make him famous. He just thinks of her.
She had just returned to the capital and had a lot of social activities. She couldn't bear to be too busy, so she thought of letting Gu Qiancheng solve the case together after things progressed.
"I accepted the invitation from the Feng family, but I declined the invitation from the Yan family. Going to the Feng family is just for a meal, and it won't be too busy. As for meeting the Wu family, it's not urgent. The Wu family is just outside the city. When
We can meet them all." Gu Qiancheng is not ready to meet the Wu family yet, so he wants to slow down the matter.
Qin Jiyan knew that Gu Qiancheng had a plan in mind, so he immediately agreed: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up."
"Okay, I'll be prepared." Gu Qiancheng agreed happily.
Instead of staying at Gu's house every day and playing tricks with the old man, she would rather face dead people or dead things.
"By the way..." Gu Qiancheng suddenly sat up, "Help me do something."
Qin Jiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng's serious look and couldn't help but leaned forward and asked seriously: "What's the matter?"
"Bring me a message to Concubine Gu, just tell the old man to send me into your backyard." Gu Qiancheng believed that after hearing this, Concubine Gu understood what the old man meant.
"The Gu family wants to give up on them?" Qin Jiyan curled his lips and sneered, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The fight between brothers, uncles and nephews is a matter for the royal family. When did the royal family have their turn to pick the fat and the thin?
The Gu family is really courageous.
"Yeah, the Gu family has always been realistic. Why bother bothering if it's useless?" Gu Qiancheng knew what Qin Ji was angry about, but what did it have to do with her? The people she cared about who controlled the Gu family were not in the capital. She didn't care about Qin Ji.
How silent words tormented them.
"If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. I will let people clearly convey what Mr. Gu means to Concubine Gu and the Fifth Prince." People from the royal family are not so easy to bully. Although the Fifth Prince and Concubine Gu
After losing power, it is not too difficult to kill a Gu family member.
"When the time comes, help the fifth prince." To deal with such trivial matters as the Gu family, it is better to let the fifth prince and Concubine Gu take action. There is no need for them to dirty their hands.
Since he wants to participate in the case of missing money from the treasury, there is nothing to avoid suspicion. After finishing the trivial matters about the Gu family, Gu Qiancheng asked about the details of the case of missing money from the treasury and where is the progress now?
Qin Jiyan didn't hide anything from Gu Qiancheng. He had originally planned to involve Gu Qiancheng in this matter, but now he just did it earlier.
Qin Jiyan told Gu Qiancheng all the recent progress and his suspicions without hiding anything. "Although nearly one million taels of gold were recovered, compared with the amount of silver that was stolen from the national treasury,
It’s just a drop in the bucket.”
Hearing the huge amount of silver lost in the treasury, Gu Qiancheng paused for a moment and then said: "How can the treasury have so much money?" I had heard before that the treasury was very poor and could not even raise money to defeat Northern Qi. Why did it happen?
Turn around, the treasury already has so much money?
"..." Qin Jiyan did not speak, but looked at Gu Qiancheng silently.
"Ah? You can't say?" Gu Qiancheng understood immediately and stopped asking.
Qin Jiyan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It's not that I can't say it." It's because he didn't know how to say it. After all, it was not a glorious thing.
"I'm just curious, you don't need to tell me." Gu Qiancheng swore that she really had no other thoughts.
Qin Jiyan rubbed the top of her hair lovingly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I lose face by saying it. The treasury did not have much money before, but it later copied the properties of Prince Ning and Prince Zhao, as well as their subsidiaries
The official’s family property has enriched the national treasury.”
In other words, what the old emperor made was his son's wealth. Those who are rich in the world are not the old emperor, but the son of the old emperor.
If it were not for the selfless dedication of King Ning and King Zhao, as well as the officials who rely on them, the national treasury would be very poor now, and it is hard to say whether it could support the great war in the northwest.
"Prince Ning and Prince Zhao are really brave." Gu Qiancheng shook his head and silently lit wax for these two people who wanted to die.
She is even richer than the emperor, so the emperor must be happy.
"Why don't you dare? The Qin Dynasty is rich but its wealth lies in its reputation. Those wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are all as rich as the country." Qin Jiyan couldn't help but frown when he thought of the scene in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jiangnan is a cancer of the Qin Dynasty and must be eliminated.
Gu Qiancheng sighed softly, "But it's like this. It's strange that the treasury has no silver. Doesn't the emperor even care about it?"
"How does the emperor take care of it? Who does it take care of? Everyone is unclean. If the emperor has any sign of taking action, he will immediately persuade the ministers. If you force him to do something, it will affect the whole body. When the time comes, it will cause chaos in the court. Who will pay for this?
Responsibility?" Qin Jiyan couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of the difficulties faced by the court in the past few years.
In his later years, although the emperor was not said to be fatuous, he was indeed inactive and extremely indulgent towards his courtiers.
The emperor clearly knew that the court was full of chaos, and that the prince colluded with officials, bought and sold positions, and poached money from the court. However, for the sake of superficial peace, he pretended not to know anything and allowed King Zhou, King Zhao and King Ning to form their own forces and fight openly and secretly...
