Chapter 127: The Night I Was Sold
The decree was soon issued, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
Fang Yuegong personally went out and went to Shanhaiguan to deliver the message.
Wu Sangui and Gao Di got the news a long time ago, and after receiving the holy decree, the two of them completely wilted, and they got all the stolen goods, overreported their posts, pretended to be the army, deceived the king, and bribed the ministers in the court.
The two men thanked them and stood up.
Fang Yuegong said lightly: "Lord Wu, Lord Gao, you are also the ministers of the imperial court, and you are still so indisputable, how can you be worthy of the emperor's dragon grace?" Work hard, don't live up to the emperor's grace again! ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Fang, the lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty, and the lower official is grateful!"
The two of them thanked each other again and again.
After a while, Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Fang, this matter is really the bewitchment of the traitor and the other two officials, so they did such a rebellious thing, please also ask your lord to be clear, please the emperor be clear!" ”
"Oh?"
Fang Yuegong smiled and asked, "Who is so bold as to dare to bewitch the two important ministers of the court?" ”
Gao Gao replied: "Zhu Jie, it was Zhu Jie who bewitched us!" ”
Wu Sangui said hatefully: "Lord Fang, I won't tell you that Zhu Jie came to Shanhaiguan to announce the decree, originally the two of us reported more troops, after all, the household department and the military department are not enough to pay military salaries every time, and our brothers also need to think about the brothers under them, don't let them fight on an empty stomach; It just so happened that Zhu Jie came to Shanhaiguan to deliver the decree, and the two of us because he was the emperor's confidant and favorite general, so he asked him, and for this reason, he also sent him a silver ticket of 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver, and he gave us such a bad idea, thinking that the emperor would send the displaced people to Beijing, and the emperor would not be able to inquire, and the military department would also open one eye and close one eye, as long as he gave some gifts to his colleagues in the military department, he would cover up the past, who knows, the emperor paid so much attention to it this time, and even directly intervened, causing the two of us to directly hit the muzzle. Lord Fang, the two of us are really wronged......"
"Humph!"
Fang Yuegong snorted coldly: "You two still blame Lord Zhu Jie? This time, if it weren't for Lord Zhu Jie's letter, the two of you would think that you could easily get out of the emperor's hands, tell me, these crimes, which one can't turn around? Isn't it true that Lord Zhu Jie specially sent someone to give the emperor a recital on the way to the mission, and at the same time sent a letter to the official, and the emperor exempted you from some of the responsibility out of his trust in Lord Zhu Jie? You even dare to hit a rake! Outrageous! ”
Belch......
Wu Sangui and Gao Di were like eating flies, disgusting to death, specially, they were cheated by Zhu Jie, and he took away tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, in the end, the two of them still have to be grateful to him? Where the hell is this going to be reasonable?
"My lord, how is this possible? This idea came up with him, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, which is also true......"
Wu Sangui said urgently.
"You two still have the face to say?"
Fang Yuegong said angrily: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, I know it well, a total of sixty-five thousand taels of silver tickets, right?" ”
Wu Sangui and Gao Di nodded in amazement, Lord Fang also knows about this matter?
Fang Yuegong snorted coldly: "These 65,000 taels of silver tickets, Lord Zhu has already handed them to the emperor with the concerto, do you think they have all gone into his personal pocket?" Joke! Do you know the Youxian Residence that he opened in the capital now? In less than a month, he has already made a net profit of seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, and he still cares about your small profits? Look at his Tongzhou New Town, every month's salary, he never defaulted on the brothers below, but helped the soldiers to bribe the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver withheld by generals at all levels! Look at you again, some of them are better? ”
Wu Sangui and Gao Di were stunned for a moment, is this guy really not a master who sees money? It's not like ah, tens of thousands of taels of silver, just relying on Yulu, it's enough to earn for a lifetime! He turned it all over to the imperial court!
How did the two of them know that as soon as Zhu Jie handed over the silver, Chongzhen was overjoyed, so he gave the silver to Zhu Fu, but it was just a turn in Chongzhen's hands, and the thing was returned to the original owner, and the good man still let Zhu Jie do it, and the two of them only had to eat ashes!
"Also, he instigated you to deceive the emperor, and you deceived the emperor? Isn't this the two of you having bad intentions? Did he let the two of you rebel, and you also went to rebel? How is it that you do not even know right from wrong in your hearts? ”
The two of them were reprimanded by Fang Yuegong and sweated profusely, although Zhu Zhuo's idea was bad enough to blame for this matter, but in the final analysis, it was the two of them with bad intentions, so they wanted to take advantage of the court, and finally lost their wife and soldiers, who can blame them?
"Okay, just figure it out the two of you, Lord Zhu Jie has contributed a lot to this matter, without his recitals and letters, the two of you can only chat with Lord Yama now! Next, this official wants to check the military situation of Shanhaiguan, how many troops are there here, how is the combat power, the imperial court must know in his heart, once the Manchurian Eight Banners come, how many days can you withstand it? If the emperor doesn't know anything in his heart, how will he send you reinforcements and protect the safety of Gyeonggi at that time? ”
Fang Yuegong said coldly.
Not again!
Wu Sangui and Gao Di both have the heart to die, according to the strength reported by the two of them last year, there are 60,000 people, but what about the real situation, the strength of the two towns is only more than 40,000 yuan, if they are all shaken out, the two of them are afraid that they will be killed and the two crimes will be one......
"What's wrong? Could it be that the two of you still have something to hide from the court? ”
Fang Yuegong frowned and asked.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "My lord, please also ask your Excellency to be in Shanhaiguan for two days, I and General Gao have to prepare, the account books and rosters in the army, and there are still garrisoned sergeants on the four passes, so we have to transfer them back for review, right?" ”
"Nonsense!"
Fang Yuegong shouted: "How can the parts on the four passes be transferred back at will? I only need to review the combat strength of the army in Shanhaiguan, and you can mobilize the elite to conduct a drill, so that the official can go back and give the emperor an explanation! ”
Wu Sangui let out a long breath and reviewed the combat strength of the army? This is simple, not to mention anything else, the combat power of Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is one of the best in Daming, the real elite division can definitely satisfy Fang Yuegong, as long as this big Buddha is sent away, the clouds in the sky will all disperse!
