Chapter 229 Inner money
Zhu Cilang thought of dozens of ways to kill Gao Qiqian, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for his hatred.
Otherwise, he was sent to the imperial prison to impose dozens of tortures on him? It is obvious that this is unrealistic. First of all, Gao Qiqian is still highly valued by Emperor Chongzhen, and even Lu Xiangsheng's death was completely defeated.
Killing someone with a knife is a good strategy. The insidious Zhu Cixuan decided to do this, using the hands of others to kill Gao Qiqian.
With the collection of commercial taxes in the Gyeonggi region, the rectification of the three major camps was also put on the agenda. Among them, Shenji Camp was the least in the situation and the phenomenon of empty wages was the least.
Shenshu Camp was in the capital. After the assassination of Li Guangquan, the commander of the Che Bingbat, and the deputy general Zhu Sui, the Shenshu Camp was relatively easy to control.
The most complaining one is the main force of the three major camps, the five military camps.
The soldiers from the fifth military camp were transferred outside the capital, and all military pay and food were short. At this time, they were all looking forward to what the crown prince said and would bring military pay ten days later.
If ten days later, the promised military pay will change. The fifth military camp will probably mutiny, and even kill the person who passed the message on the spot. So Zhu Cixuan decided to let Gao Qiqian take the blame and kill Gao Qiqian under the guise of the soldiers of the fifth military camp.
Because Emperor Chongzhen handed over the defense power of the capital to Zhu Ciyang, he also hoped that his son could rectify the military camp. To put it bluntly, more importantly, Chongzhen also wanted to pass the blame.
The three major ills have been in trouble for a long time, and Emperor Chongzhen was unable to reform. Since his son was willing to take over this mess, Chongzhen was happy to give him a favor. Although once a crown prince takes over the power of defense in the capital, it is actually a terrible thing.
For example, if the prince covets the throne at this time...
However, Chongzhen was still very relieved. First of all, Zhu Cilang was too young, and he could not suppress all the civil and military officials of the court. Furthermore, the father and son were still kind and filial, and his son would not usurp the throne with great rebellion. At least, he would not usurp the throne at his age. Even if he controlled the defense power of the capital, Zhu Cilang could not be transferred from the royal army outside the capital. If he really wanted to rebel, the royal army in various places would rebel in the name of clearing the monarchy.
Since he was not worried that his son would usurp the throne, he would simply hand over the defense of Gyeonggi to his son. This kid was full of tricks and might have a way to rectify the three camps.
This is a arduous task, so Zhu Cilang asked his father, Emperor Chongzhen, to complain, "There is not enough staff, my father, unless you can assign a capable general and assist the minister."
Chongzhen made a decision on the spot, and all the civil and military officials in the court can choose you. Whoever you want to help you, I will ask whoever you want to help you.
Zhu Cilang said: It is better to be better than to be good at Gao Qiqian than to look for it. Looking back in the capital, it is better to be better to be good at Gao Qiqian. Gao Qiqian is neat and loyal to the court. I don’t worry.
Chongzhen said "yes" and praised Gao Qiqian very much. So Gao Qiqian, who was a foreign military supervisor, was immediately transferred to the capital to assist Zhu Cixuan in rectifying the three camps.
When Gao Qiqian heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. How could he miss such a good opportunity to hang out with his thighs? Gao Qiqian, who returned to Beijing, immediately visited Zhu Cixuan.
"Eunuch Gao, I have long heard of your ability to supervise the military outside. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has thanks to you."
Gao Qiqian was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "This is what I should do. I only know how to be loyal to the court. Long live the emperor can trust me. That is the fortune of me. Now being able to serve the prince is even more blessed."
Zhu Cilang nodded in emotion: "Alas, since the rebellion of the wild boar skin in Liaodong, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have been like Eunuch Gao, so why worry about the world not prospering?"
In fact, Zhu Cilang has already scolded this guy for his eighteen generations in his heart. You are such a dog. If the Ming Dynasty continues to make trouble for you, the country will be destroyed immediately. You are still taking credit for shamelessness, and see how I kill you first.
Gao Qiqin knelt on the ground: "I will be the prince's member from now on. Come in the water and go in the fire. As long as the prince's words are said, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Zhu Cilang hurriedly helped him up: "Eunuch Gao, I will feel relieved with you. Please get up quickly. If you are so loyal to me, I will naturally not forget you. Alas, I have encountered some difficulties at the moment."
The wild boar skin mentioned by Zhu Cilang generally refers to the nickname of Aisin Gioro Nurhaci. The wild boar skin originally intended to have the highest praise meaning among the nations with Tungus as their ethnic group, meaning "brave" and "brave". Ethnic minorities such as nomadism and fishing and hunting are also accustomed to extending brave men to the incarnation of brave animals such as "wild boar".
According to the records in the genealogy of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty rulers, Nurhaci's Latin is transcribed as nurgaci or burhaci, and the Latin text of "wild boar skin" in Manchu is transcribed as nuheci. Since the "wild boar skin" in Manchu is highly similar to Nurhaci's Latin text, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass to absorb the Han civilization, it was discovered that "wild boar skin" was used to refer to Nurhaci as a contempt for his ancestors, so he deliberately avoided the taboos in Manchu historical materials such as "Uncircular Old Archives", "Old Manchu Original Archives", "Manchu Old Archives", and "Manchu Records".
Just like Jiannu, it originally refers to the Jianzhou Jurchens. It was a title for Manchus in the Ming Dynasty, with a slightly derogatory meaning, such as Japanese pirates, Hu Jiao, and barbarians.
Also, why do eunuchs not call themselves slaves? Slaves are the name of the Qing Dynasty. Eunuchs and palace maids in the Ming Dynasty both called themselves slaves. Slaves originally referred to men and women who lost their freedom and were enslaved, and later generally referred to men and women servants. Later, they were mostly used to call eunuchs against emperors, concubines, etc.
Also, don’t be misled by braids. The Ming Dynasty had a variety of names for emperors. From the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang period, there were occasional records of the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, and the emperor. Hai Rui called the emperor "Your Majesty" in the public security memorials, but there were few records with the emperor. It seems that the name of the emperor in the "Draft History of Qing Dynasty" records the name of the emperor. In other words, the name of the emperor originated from the Qing Dynasty is relatively reliable.
Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqian hurriedly asked, "I don't know what happened to Your Highness. I am willing to work hard for Your Majesty."
"Oh, that's it. The Zuoye Army of the Five Military Camps, I promised them to give them three months of military pay in ten days. Alas, it's time to go. I think about it, wouldn't it be a pity if I gave them all the military pay."
Gao Qiqian was shocked when he heard this: "Your Highness, what do you mean is to pay those big-headed soldiers?"
Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, these are all white silver. Thinking about it, I feel so painful. You also know that the pocket money my father gave is limited, and I am struggling every month. If I save this silver, that would be great."
Whether it is the concubines in the harem, the crown prince or even the emperor himself, they actually have private money. It is just that the emperor's money belongs to his own private treasury, called the treasury. However, sometimes the national treasury and the treasury are easily confused, and they are the emperor's property anyway.
