Chapter 569： system

  Qi Xiuyuan was all focused on the war at the time, so in the end he only sent 2,000 people to surround the treasury and continued the war. When he opened the treasury, he also suspected that the soldiers were guarding and stealing, but this idea was quickly dismissed.

Those two thousand soldiers are all credible people, not to mention, there are his confidants in them, they are not familiar with Lin'an City, and they want to do these things.

So it can only be that those coffers are empty before he fences off the treasury.

But he also doesn't believe that the second prince emptied those things. As Mu Yangling said, when he invaded Lin'an City, it was a sudden attack. More money, that is the rhythm of courting death.

He chased the second prince all the way, and he was quick about their speed.

Mu Yangling: "It's not the second prince, it's not Emperor Jingyan who hid things, right? But the second prince's rebellion is also sudden, except for them, who else in this world can only quietly take money from Take it out of the purse?"

Mu Yangling paused, raised his head and looked at Qi Xiuyuan, Li Jinghua also had a guess, he hesitated: "Is it Prime Minister Qin?"

Qi Xiuyuan showed a smile and said, "Yes or not, you will know if you copy the Qin family tomorrow."

Qin Xiang's sons were taken away by him, leaving only his daughter, concubine and unimportant servants in the house.

Although Qi Xiuyuan didn't cut them down, he didn't let them go. He chose an upright officer who was proficient in the law to interrogate them, and then put them all in prison. Now the Qin Prime Minister's mansion is empty.

It should be said that Qin Xiang's house under the name of Lin'an City is all empty.

Qi Xiuyuan asked people to turn those houses upside down, and they dug three feet into the ground without finding a single piece of gold.

Now even Qi Xiuyuan felt something was wrong.

Who is Prime Minister Qin?

Da Zhou's number one greedy man, his family property is more than the national treasury, how can he have no gold at all?

Qi Xiuyuan opened the confiscated bill and saw the silk and satin above, as well as jewelry and antiques. Just a case of Dongzhu can be searched, and there are countless red and sapphire sapphires. All kinds of jade can be stored in a separate small warehouse, but there is not a single piece of gold.

Qi Xiuyuan picked up a gold hairpin and asked, "Is there any gold and silver utensils too?"

"General Hui, there are gold and silver jewelry, but some large gold and silver utensils are all gone."

"Check!" Qi Xiuyuan dropped the things in his hand and said, "They left Beijing in a hurry, so much gold and silver can't be taken away, they must still be in Lin'an City."

However, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment continued to torture the people left behind by Qin Xiangfu, and every year they asked what useful value was. The important people were taken away by Qin Xiang, and the people who knew the inside story but were not important were also destroyed by Qin Xiang. They really don't know.

The pauper Qi Xiuyuan's face became more and more ugly, Li Jinghua said tentatively one night: "Master, the family has money."

Qi Xiuyuan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.

Li Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief and would not ask any more questions in the future, but she knew that in the future, the family would be completely lost.

Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty tried his best to suppress the family. After Gaozong cultivated for a hundred years, he gradually recovered.

Their Li family has long been indebted to their name, only their appearance, but not the reality, and soon, other aristocratic families may be like their Li family.

Li Jinghua wanted to write a letter to ask his father and brother to come over, but thinking about it, he temporarily suppressed this matter. His father was not in good health, and his brother was disabled, so it didn't help much when he came, so why bother them?

Maybe Qi Xiuyuan found another way. Anyway, he didn't pay much attention to the treasury theft case, and after several groups of people rummaged through Qin Prime Minister's mansion again and found nothing, he waved his hand and said, "Qin Prime Minister's mansion stay here. , wait for Haoran to come back and grant him the palace."

Rongxuan has no objection, and other ministers have no objection, not to mention that Qi Haoran is Qi Xiuyuan's younger brother, even if he now holds hundreds of thousands of troops, he has made half the credit for Qi Xiuyuan, and he deserves this honor.

What everyone is concerned about is another question, "General, when will you and your wife move into the palace? Although you have not yet ascended the throne, it is better to enter the palace early."

Qi Xiuyuan still lives in Qi Mansion. He comes to the palace every day to handle government affairs. The ministers feel tired when they see it, for fear that something will happen to him during the journey from the palace to Qi Mansion.

Qi Xiuyuan paused and said, "Let Supervisor Qin Tian choose a good day. The palace in the palace won't be used so much, so it will be sealed up and only open for our use."

So some people took advantage of the situation and proposed to add new people to the palace. For example, eunuchs and palace maids should be replaced. Moreover, there were many palace maids and eunuchs who fled before, and they should be added appropriately. Since the palace maids and eunuchs have been added, then Qi Xiuyuan’s harem It should also be added one or two.

Qi Xiuyuan still has only one wife, Li Jinghua, two concubines, and no concubines. Everyone knows that if he can become Qi Xiuyuan's concubine at this time, then after he ascends the throne, that concubine will definitely get a big position.

Qi Xiuyuan hates others meddling in his family affairs the most, so he just pretended he didn't understand and said, "Have someone to repair Qin Xiang's mansion and move in directly when Haoran returns."

So everyone's attention shifted again. Qi Haoran moved in as soon as he came back. The plaque must be replaced. This involved the reward of merit and deeds. This is a big problem, even bigger than Qi Xiuyuan's harem.

Mu Yangling knew that she had got a big mansion after Qi Xiuyuan came back. She asked curiously, "I heard that Qin Xiangfu's mansion is even better than that of the prince's mansion, and its specifications are even higher than the prince's mansion, isn't it?"

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "It's not one or two things that Qin Xiang violated the system. Emperor Jingyan doesn't mind such trivial matters."

"But eldest brother, don't you want to make Haoran the king of the county? This is more than a prince."

Li Jinghua's heart skipped a beat, and smiled busyly: "It's fine to separate a few plots of land, can't we get through when the fourth uncle becomes a prince?" With the feelings of Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran, it is only a matter of time before they become princes. thing.

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Don't be so troublesome, the extra part will build a training ground for Haoran."

But Mu Yangling disagreed, and said with a stern face: "This is not good, you have to do it according to the rules, eldest brother, Haoran is your younger brother, only if he obeys, the people below will have more scruples, otherwise he If you violate the system first, can the other heroes follow suit?"

"Haoran is a royal family, so he must be more tolerant than others." This has always been the default rule.

But because it was a potential rule, Mu Yangling didn't like it even more, "Brother, what I said about compliance is not only for outsiders, but also for our Qi family, including Xiaobao, Xiaoxiong, and the descendants of the Qi family in the future. Da Zhou declined sharply after Emperor Sejong, not because he was too indulgent to the children of the royal family, so that none of them became talents, and there was not much talent. On the contrary, he is pointing fingers at the guards, Haoran is your younger brother, it is right for you to spoil him as a brother, but it is the status of a king to confer rewards and gifts, so Haoran is your subject, and he should abide by the rules."
