Chapter two hundred and three tricks
Wang Hefu secretly called it wrong, the prince's visitor today was not good, and he immediately gritted his teeth: "Your Highness, the general of the Crown Prince, also engaged in military law. This person gathered a group to cause trouble and incited his soldiers to plot against the morale of the army. As the admiral of the Zuoye Army, Mo General has the right to correct the military discipline."
Yuan Xiaoxiao took Zhu Cilang's white horse and helped Zhu Cilang get off the horse. Invisibly, Zhu Cilang's awesome and inhumane momentum immediately suppressed Wang He Fu.
Somehow, Wang Hefu felt that his defense seemed so pale and powerless.
The crowd separated, Zhu Cixuan walked up to him and sneered, "I'm a good person to correct the military discipline, so I'll ask you. What's wrong with this general? They said that the military pay has not been paid for more than a year. The soldiers only had a bowl of porridge a day, and there was no place to live. So, I'd like to ask Admiral Wang how to solve these things."
Wang Hefu suddenly became a little excited. When Zhu Cixuan asked this, he became resentful: "Your Highness the Crown Prince clearly understands that the military pay was not distributed by the court, so what can the last general do? As for the issue of food and accommodation, it is inevitable that the fifth army camp will be transferred outside the capital for a while, and it is inevitable that the food and grass will be difficult to provide for a while. Your Highness's question seems to be deducted by the last general."
Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "Don't you? Then I will ask you again, the military pay has not been paid. But this military ration is still guaranteed. Why, the military rations of the fifth military camp can be supplied with the central army, the Right Ye Army, the Left Strike Army, and the Right Strike Army. The soldiers have two meals a day, one is sparse. Why can't they even eat military rations when they arrive at your Zuoye Army?"
Wang Hefu became a little embarrassed: "This, I think it's because the subordinates of the Imperial General are not doing well. This Imperial General will definitely find out. If someone gets full of his personal pockets and deducts military rations, the Imperial General will definitely punish him severely."
"Oh, so that's it. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the two thousand taels of silver granted to the Zuoye Army by the court had nothing to do with your Admiral Wang?"
Back then, when the Qing Dynasty Huangtaiji attacked the city of Beijing, the Zuoye Army fought bravely against the enemy and made considerable contributions. The court's treasury was empty and the finances were tight. However, Emperor Chongzhen still saved 2,000 taels of silver from his teeth and rewarded the soldiers who fought hard by the Zuoye Army.
Although the money is not much, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, it is meat. Unexpectedly, the money suddenly disappeared when the Zuoye Army arrived. The Ministry of Revenue kept saying that it had been transferred, but the soldiers of the Zuoye Army did not even see a copper plate.
In fact, the money was indeed filled with private pockets by Wang Hefu. Wang Hefu's appearance was extremely ugly. He put the two thousand taels of silver into his pocket. The soldiers who knew the inside story naturally felt dissatisfied. This matter soon spread among the Zuoye Army.
But Wang Hefu was the admiral of the Zuoye Army. Even if the soldiers were dissatisfied, they could not help themselves. At most, they would just curse Wang Hefu's eight generations of ancestors behind their backs.
Wang Hefu seemed very wronged: "Slander, this is definitely a slander. The general has never seen this money. Even if there is one, the general will use him in the army. The general has always been honest and honest, so how can he be corrupt?"
Although he felt so angry that his teeth were itchy, Zhu Cixuan still pretended to be amiable smile on the surface: "Admiral Wang, since I am here, why not let me enter the tent and talk?"
It seems that this little prince was fooled by himself. Wang Hefu was secretly happy: Humph, you young prince, just want to check me. Just by your empty words, you want to force me to submit, for fear that you will be a little more tender.
Zhu Cilang is indeed a little tender. He knew that Wang Hefu was full of his personal pockets and knew that he was deducting military pay. But there was no evidence, not only him, but also Jinyiwei.
The Jinyiwei spent a lot of effort to collect some evidence of corruption from the three camps. However, most of them did not have actual physical evidence.
For example, Wang Hefu is extremely cautious. He burned all the evidence of embezzlement and deductions. He has no hobby of hiding the account books privately. Although there is an account instinct that can clearly record his income and expenditure. Wang Hefu is also very clear that even if the account books are hidden in private, once they are leaked, they will be his own death talisman.
Wang He Fu himself is not sure how much his own property is and how much he spends every year. In his words, this is called a rare confusion. As long as he makes a lot of money and is greedy, even if someone suspects, you will have no evidence.
For example, the so-called two thousand taels of silver allocated to the Zuoye Army by the court was indeed filled with private pockets by Wang Hefu, but he quickly wisely asked the military officers to record the accounts of the Zuoye Army. The expenses for repairing stables, military rations, healing soldiers, injured horses and other expenses in the army. In short, these two thousand taels of silver have a place to go. Even if you check, you can't find out about yourself.
Because you have no evidence, even if I am corruption, what can you do to me?
Zhu Cilang really can't do anything to him, but Zhu Cilang is more despicable and shameless than him. You can only be more shameless when dealing with shameless people like Wang Hefu.
The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was shameless in his many tricks!
Zhu Cilang wanted to go to the tent to have a secret talk, which made Wang Hefu overjoyed. This meant that the prince was coming to join him, which means that the prince was weak and he knew that he could not investigate the three camps, so he came to win over him.
At that moment, Wang Hefu smiled and lifted his tent: "Please please!"
Zhu Cilang walked into the camp with his hands on his back. Behind him, he followed the secret guard Meng Fanchao, Yuan Xiaoxiao, Yan Yishuang and others from the Eastern Palace Guard.
And the few people around Wang Hefu were involved in the tent together, but suddenly they were stopped by the magpie Xiang Liu at the entrance of the tent: "You guys, wait outside."
The few of them were stunned. Although they felt something was wrong, they were the prince's people, and they dared not refuse to obey.
In this way, Zhu Cixuan and Wang Hefu entered the camp with a few of his relatives. Wang Hefu walked into the camp and panicked because he found that his relatives around him had not come in.
Wang Hefu secretly called something wrong, and he wanted to slip away. As a result, Meng Fanchao stretched out his palm like a palm fan and grabbed it back: "Why, Your Highness the Crown Prince asked, where do you want to go!"
After being grabbed by Meng Fanchao's iron-plied palms, Wang Hefu lost his temper immediately. He had to pretend to smile and said, "I will ask someone to come in and serve the prince."
Meng Fanchao said coldly: "No need, Admiral Wang will sit down."
Meng Fanchao reached out and pressed Wang Hefu on the stool and dared not move. The people outside didn't know what was happening in the tent.
