Chapter 233 Planted
Gao Qiqian was still confused. The Crown Prince wanted to be the scapegoat. He couldn't bear the blame, and he was so scared that he could no longer care about anything else: "Your Highness, I do everything according to your wishes."
Zhu Cilang sneered: "I mean? Sun Fanpai, what does this mean?"
The eunuch Sun Wangcai next to him looked at Gao Qiqian contemptuously: "Reply to the words of the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince said the day before yesterday: It's hard for Eunuch Gao. Remember, don't let the soldiers of the fifth military camps feel cold. As for this military pay, you must pay what you should pay. Leave this matter to me to rest assured."
Suddenly, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but shivered. He could vaguely feel it. The crown prince didn't ask him to pay the salary at all. He dug a hole for himself and wanted to kill him.
Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask the emperor to recall himself back to the capital after traveling thousands of miles away? But what made the monk Gao Qiqian confused was that he had no grievances with the crown prince, so why did he harm him?
The other party carefully designed it and put himself in a desperate situation. At this time, Gao Qiqian was even pale and powerless in his defense. He just looked at Zhu Cilang with confusion, his eyes full of anger and hatred.
Zhu Cilang looked at him coldly: "Someone recommended you to me. I thought you were a loyal minister and filial son. Gao Qiqian, Gao Qiqian, you actually had enough money to withhold military pay to such a crazy level. General Shen, how much military pay he promised to give you."
"When you say to Your Highness, Eunuch Gao said: There are only 1,200 taels of silver for you Zuoye Army. No matter how much you have, there is not a single copper coin."
Gao Qi struggled for a while and wanted to speak, but he didn't say a word after all. He wanted to share Zhu Cixuan's worries. The military salary of 76,000 taels was given to the generals of Zuoye Army, and he could save 50,000 taels.
At that time, Gao Qiqian agreed, but he knew that when he arrived at Zuoye Army, he only had 1,200 taels of silver. More than 24,000 taels of silver were put into Gao Qiqian's pocket. Even if he wanted to argue, how could he fight? This crime alone was enough to make him doomed.
Zhu Cilang accompanied the Eastern Palace Guards and several Jinyiwei soldiers all took a breath when they heard this. Eunuch Gao was plucking his hair by the geese, and there was no drop left.
Officials know that corruption is deducted, but they will give them some soup to their subordinates as much as they eat. It is better for you to get up and fall, let alone let others drink soup, and those who smell the smell will not give it to others. No wonder Zuoyejun wants to kill you, you are seeking death.
Zhu Cilang was even more furious. He pulled out the sword of a guard beside him and shouted: "I will kill you!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people next to him stepped forward and pulled him: "Your Highness calm down and hand over this thief to the court for justice, your Highness."
This was rehearsed in advance, but it was just a show for people to watch. Zhu Cilang jumped and cursed, and even the soldiers of Zuoye Army outside the tent could hear it clearly.
"Fortunately, I was worried and came to Zuoye Army to take a look. I asked you to bring 76,000 taels of silver to give all the soldiers of Zuoye Army three months of military pay. You, a dog slave Gao Qiqian, who is worse than pigs and dogs, actually only gave 1,200 taels of soldiers of Zuoye Army. I want to chop you up and chop you up!"
As soon as this was said, the anger of the entire Zuoye Army was ignited. How could a person be so shameless? The eunuch actually deducted more than 4,000 taels of silver for more than 76,000 taels of money. He gave the soldiers of Zuoye Army less than a fraction of the money.
"Kill him, kill him, kill this dog thief!"
"This eunuch, drag him out and dismember him."
"Kill Gao Qiqian, and the dog thief will take his orders."
Zhu Cilang's goal was still achieved, Gao Qiqian was determined to die. The amount of his deduction of military pay was so huge that it almost caused the Zuoye Army to mutiny. Chongzhen could not save him, and not killing would not be enough to quell the public's anger.
The net was defeated by the death, and Gao Qiqian also made a desperate attempt: "The prince harmed me! It was the prince. The prince said that he could save 50,000 taels to the generals of the Zuoye Army. He was the prince. He wanted to deduct 50,000 taels privately!"
Gao Qiqian's call made the camp quiet again. The generals of the Zuoye Army were hesitant, and they seemed to think that things seemed not that simple.
Why did the crown prince ask Gao Qiqian to come to the Zuoye Army to take charge of military salaries? Why did the crown prince suddenly appear at this time? Could it be that there is really something unspeakable between the crown prince and the eunuch Gao Qiqian?
Unexpectedly, Sun Wangcai's words made Gao Qi as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Sun Wangcai sneered: "Bold eunuch, you dare to slander Your Highness until the end of your life. You said that Your Highness deducted 50,000 taels of military pay. Humph, the carriage that transported military pay had arrived outside the tent. There were 76,000 taels of military pay, which was the silver that the Prince had not had enough food for the past few days and had not had enough sleep. He just didn't want the soldiers of the Zuoye Army to wait any longer. According to the head account book reported by the Zuoye Army, the Prince's Palace fulfilled the promise ten days ago. The soldiers of the Zuoye Army, your military pay has arrived!"
This is a bombshell, and the military pay has arrived?
Of course, the soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard escorted the military pay of 76,000 taels of silver along the way. Since he agreed to the soldiers of the Zuoye Army, Zhu Cilang must do what he said.
In addition to fulfilling the ten-day promise, Zhu Cilang also has another purpose to kill Gao Qiqian.
Gao Qiqian is now unaware of his crime of deducting military pay. He has already proved that he had seized military pay, and he was extremely ugly. He had sucked 76,000 taels of silver, and even embezzled 74,800 taels of silver. He wanted to kill my Ming Dynasty, and he wanted the soldiers of the Five Military Camp to rebel.
Even if Chongzhen knew about it, he would be afraid that Gao Qiqian would be the most suspicious crime.
Soon, a soldier outside the tent of Zuoye Military Camp came to report: "Report, report to the general! His Highness's men have already transported the military pay to the camp. General Shen, we have military pay!"
Even the messengers who came to report changed their voices. The entire Zuoye Army camp exploded. The soldiers cheered and hugged each other, and their eyes were filled with tears.
They have been waiting for this day for too long, too long.
The military pay came, and the news spread rapidly in the Zuoye Army. The entire military camp was in full swing, and the crown prince fulfilled his promise. This not only caused a sensation in the Zuoye Army, but also the entire fifth military camp would be in full swing with the payment of the Zuoye Army.
The military pay paid by the Zuoye Army means that the remaining military pay paid by the fifth barracks will be paid down soon. Because the court guaranteed that it would be distributed one by one.
