A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 556: Do you really want to know what I eat for breakfast?

Just these things that have been investigated by Wang Shu have more than 200,000 yuan of wealth in the capital camp, plus those that have not been discovered, I am afraid there is still more.

Nie Zhi couldn't swallow it alone. The generals in the capital camp were probably dragged into the water. In addition to them, Wang Shu estimated that there was also a problem with the military and horse department above.

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is at the feet of the emperor, and right under the eyes of the royal family, someone actually dares to do these things. Wang Shu ordered people to ask where the people who were hired as soldiers came from.

As he expected, some of them were coolies brought from outside Luoyang City. They were paid ten cents a day to take care of the food, and they were allowed to fill up the number here.

It’s no wonder that there were no problems during the previous inspections. These people have already received the news and made preparations in advance.

The imperial court's inspection of the capital camp was basically ordered by the emperor. The imperial court had no involvement in this. The imperial court was responsible for army rotation, food and supplies, and recruiting troops. Even promotions were submitted to the imperial court. After the imperial court reviewed and found no problems, the emperor approved it. is effective.

The royal family did not allow officials in the court to control the army.

Wang Shu now suspected that someone in the imperial city was tipping off the news, and immediately sent someone to report to the emperor.

After Wang Zhuo got the news, his face was very gloomy. He immediately took down all the palace residents who had access to the documents and conducted isolation interrogation. At the same time, the palace doors were locked.

The embroidered clothes envoys, led by royal personnel, began to screen the palace. The royal family attaches great importance to the palace, and Wang Zhuo will never allow anyone to place spies in the palace.

He didn't want the palace where he lived to turn into a sieve. In less than half an hour, those noble ministers would know what he had eaten this morning.

The palace's big move made the noble officials in Luoyang City also bewildered by such a big move. Martial law is in place in the capital, and the Yulin Guards are dispatched. Is it possible that someone is planning to rebel?

Although the city of Luoyang is still calm on the surface, and the east and west markets are still bustling with people, the number of carriages and housekeepers moving between nobles and officials in the inner city has increased three times.

The entire city of Luoyang showed a kind of calm before the storm.

The next day, there was a large court meeting. As usual, the court discussed various court affairs and handled various affairs. After the matters were dealt with, thousands of internal officials around Wang Zhuo said: "Today the court is over, retreat."

At this time, a minister came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have my own report!"

"What's the matter with Gu Qing?" Wang Zhuo said calmly.

"Your Majesty, the palace door was suddenly locked yesterday, and then the Yulin Guards were dispatched. I wonder what happened? The army was dispatched, and the ministers were worried."

"Daily drills, the outer court does not need to worry." Wang Zhuo said.

Gu Shao said: "The emperor is the master of the world, and the royal family has no private affairs. How can the outer court ignore it?"

"Gu Qing really wants to know, what did I eat this morning?" His voice was flat, without any emotion, but Gu Shao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I don't dare, your Majesty, forgive me! "

Wang Zhuo did not look at Gu Shao, but looked at the ministers in the hall and said lightly: "Do you also want to know what I had eaten this morning?"

"I dare not!"

"I dare not!"

"Don't dare? Do you just want to?" Wang Zhuo glanced at the ministers, and all the ministers immediately knelt on the ground.

"Don't want to, don't want to."

Everyone denied it one after another, and many people had sweat breaking out on their foreheads. Wang Zhuo glanced at them, then laughed and said, "What are you doing, sir? Get up quickly!"

"Today's court meeting is over, let's all go back to work!" After saying that, Wang Zhuo turned and left.

After a while, all the ministers in the hall stood up one after another. These people left the hall one after another without any intention of talking anymore. Although the time was short, many people's backs were already soaked with sweat.

On the surface, this matter seems to be over, but in fact, this matter has just begun.

After Wang Zhuo returned to Shangyang Palace, he ordered people to continue to examine the internal officials in the palace. Fortunately, the Daqian royal family is not as particular as those royal families in real history. In a palace, tens of thousands of palace people are required to serve.

The Daqian Palace is not too big. It is guarded by Yulin Guards outside, and the servants and palace servants are inside. These people total only two to three thousand people.

It is not difficult to review two to three thousand people. Many of them have no access to outside the palace. You only need to review those who can have access to outside the palace.

In addition to these, Wang Zhuo also reviewed some of the Yulin Guards. Although the Yulin Guards have always been very loyal, there are thousands of people with different faces. Who knows whether there will be a few traitors among them.

Most of the Habayashi Guards are passed from father to son. Only when there is no successor in this generation, or they themselves are tired, will they be re-selected. Under normal circumstances, there will be no problems.

After some investigation, the embroiderers at the palace found more than a dozen people who had connections outside the palace.

Some of these people are poor at home, or their parents have been favored by others, and some have brothers in the family who are useless. They eat, drink, whore, and gamble, and are caught out, and some are just for money.

These were just ordinary palace servants, and they had not received professional training. Under the interrogation of the embroidered clothes envoy, they quickly explained their affairs clearly.

After Wang Zhuo saw these interrogation files, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even touch the people from the outer dynasty. Instead, they wrote down all their names and handed them over to the royal family for internal discussion and investigation.

These people have been discovered by Wang Zhuo. Now that they are dealt with, the others will definitely hide and emerge again when the storm passes.

The reason why these people are retained now is because they have been exposed, and the royal family can start from them and follow the clues.

In addition to these, the royal family's review of the Beijing camp is also advancing rapidly, and they have already mastered the evidence. Even if those people want to destroy the connections related to themselves, it is already too late.

The food and salary allocated by the imperial court were not only shared by the army chiefs, but also many officials under the great ministers and farmers had a hand in it.

The Taifu ordered the first two to be transferred, and then some of them conspired with those nobles to exchange grain. Although on the surface, the grain, cloth, salt, and silver were the same as the regulations, the value was almost doubled.

The court issued cloth, and the soldiers received cloth. The court issued two shi of grain, and the soldiers received two shi. On paper, there was no problem, and the court's reconciliation was perfect, but the new grain was grain. , Chen grain is also grain, can the price be the same?

"These people are really unscrupulous!" Wang Zhuo said with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, I am worried that if the situation in the capital camp is like this under my nose, I am afraid that it will be even worse in the border army!" Wang Shu said.

"Get ready to send people to check! The army can't have any problems!"
