Chapter 185 (1/2)
”According to the emperor of heaven, Wang Hongyu of the thirty-six counties has been keeping a low profile since he was a child. He has been wise and wise. I am very relieved that he has been diligent in handling errands recently and has made contributions for many times. Those who have made meritorious contributions have been rewarded and punished. I will not spare the reward of money and goods, nor will I bury your contributions. I will work hard for the people and the imperial court after you.”
The eunuch read the imperial edict. Hong Yu knew that this was also the new deal. From top to bottom, he uploaded and issued the imperial edict official letters in vernacular, simple and generous, without gorgeous words, with the strong personal pragmatic style of emperor Hong Wu.
After reading the edict, Hong Yu thanked his kindness and got up. The eunuch hurried forward to salute and congratulate: ”Congratulations to the thirty sixth master, who was greatly praised by his Highness the emperor of heaven. Although the thirty sixth master is already a princess title and can't be promoted, his Highness the emperor of heaven doesn't hesitate to reward money and goods. Behind him, there are 500 divine arm crossbows, 10000 broken evil symbols and arrows, 1000 forged blood grain steel knives, and the title deed of a manor in the capital. These have been allocated and wait for the thirty sixth master to receive them.”
”Come and give your father-in-law a reward.” Hong Yu was not surprised to know these things. He just waved. Naturally, some soldiers took out a stack of Hong banknotes and handed them to him.
”Thank you, master 36.” the father-in-law was not polite, nor did he scruple to accept it in front of so many people.
It is a common practice for eunuchs to work outside the palace, especially when they come to places. It often takes a lot of time and energy to go back and forth. The people and horses are tired. These reward money can be collected in good faith, so as not to ask for bribes privately and make the impact worse. However, these should be recorded in the policy, reported to the imperial court supervision organization, and paid a certain amount of tax before they can be used.
”Your Highness, the old thirty-six seems to have a lot of money and abundant capital. He even has more than ten thousand yuan to reward a eunuch, a thick stack.” Mr. Jian came up next to the thirty-five Prince Hong Yuan Tu and said to his ear: ”He seems to have made a fortune. On that day, I went to the explosion center of Longjun county to seize the wealth in the treasure house of its cult temple, but later it was just empty, and the treasure house was empty. Now I think it was this person who did it. In this way, the wealth in the treasure house fell into the hands of your highness, and our strength can definitely be higher.”
”Hum?! your swordsman is also a waste. He let Lao 36 take away my treasure house.” thirty five Prince Hong Yuantu immediately thought of a lot of information and became more and more determined to kill.
In his intelligence, there are tens of millions of treasures in the treasure house of the cult temple.
This is definitely a huge fortune. He is still just a prince. He has no title of princess on his head. He can't provide only a few thousand yuan a month, which is not helpful at all.
If he wants to get rid of the control of the sword family and the sword imperial concubine behind him, he must cultivate his reliable subordinates, form a party for personal gain, make friends with ministers in the imperial court, and weave expert talents in the folk. All these want him to find another way of financial resources. Jinshan and Yinshan are not enough to support him.
Originally, when he came to the border this time, he reached an agreement with imperial concubine Jian. The treasure in the temple treasure house was collected by the sword family, and then he took nothing, and all of it was at his disposal. But now Mr. Jian said that all the wealth here had fallen into Hong Yu's hands, which made him angry. He almost rushed forward. Hong Yu caught it, then questioned him about the whereabouts of the treasure, and then included it all in his own hands Under my own name.
With tens of millions of wealth in hand, he can achieve success in one move, manage many forces, invest by experts, and be subordinate to ministers, and be able to do many great things.
”Old thirty-six, I'm at odds with you.” Hong Yuantu repressed his thoughts of killing. He almost heard blood dripping from his heart. Then he turned his eyes to Hong Futian, the second prince, and asked Mr. Jian, ”Sir, when can the TAIA Jian that the second prince promised us be delivered? Does he want to delay time and fail to fulfill his promise?”
”Your Highness, you're right. I've contacted him several times these days, but listening to his tone, I don't want to fulfill my promise and hand over TAIA sword.” Mr. Jian said: ”This man is capricious, insidious and vicious. He must know that this sword means a lot to you, your highness. How can he do something to hold TAIA and give others a handle? However, this man is also in danger. As far as I know, the ugly and evil things he did in Liangzhou can't be wrapped in paper after all. Some honest ministers in the court know something about it and impeach the emperor. I'm afraid the emperor will not come back There is a decree to reprimand and demote this person. ”
”Second son, damn it!” Hong Yuantu's heart was dripping blood. He stared at the second son, Hong Futian, and his whole body was full of terrible killing intention.
”Your Highness, your highness 35 is staring at you. I'm afraid it's a sign of dissatisfaction or even hostility to you. Behind the second Hong Futian, the confidant general Fu Cheng came up with a sneer on his face: ”Hold taiah and give others a handle? The ancients all know the meaning of this sentence. How can we really give this sword to this person to help him achieve climate and divine skills? Your highness, you did a good job.”
”Well, these are not the key. Whether it's the old 35 or the old 36, it's too young for me to pose a great threat. What I'm afraid of is the father emperor and the imperial court.” Hong Futian knelt down on the ground quietly, feeling like a needle on pins and needles all over his body and an ominous feeling in his heart: ”Up to now, the eunuch who announced the decree won't let us get up. I'm afraid there's a decree coming, which may have something to do with me. After all, I've done too much to raise Kou's self-respect in Liangzhou. I'm afraid it's hard to escape my father's eyes and ears...”
”Your Highness, don't be afraid. There's no real evidence about Liangzhou. Even the only insider, the foreign Mocha marshal, was killed by the master of the sword family. Even if there's any gossip, it won't pose a real threat to your highness. Without evidence, even if the emperor can take your highness?” Fucheng has a clear mind, showing that he is both vertical and horizontal, Insight into the general trend of the world: ”as long as Mo Ningxiang of the Mohist School completes the marriage with his highness, the whole Mohist school can be included under your highness. What a great achievement? It is enough to cover up all his Highness's mistakes in the past.”
”But I'm still worried...” Hong Futian pretended to look up inadvertently and observed the movement around, but he just met Li muyue's eyes. She looked at herself with a sneer, and suddenly he had a bad hunch.
”When the will comes, help the king of heaven to take it.”
”The imperial edict came, and the king of Yu took it.”
Sure enough, just after Hong Yu received the decree of his reward and many reward lists and brochures, two voices came out.
And there are still two voices.
Three edicts were issued in a day!
”Is there another will? Hong Futian, the second son, has one with himself?” Hong Yu was surprised and knelt down again. At this time, eunuch Bo came in the distance. He was divided into two ways, one in front of himself and the other in front of Hong Futian, the second prince.
”The emperor of heaven said: Hong Futian, the second prince, was ordered by me to govern Liangzhou several years ago. I had high hopes for you, but you really don't have the climate. Every day in Liangzhou, there was cult unrest a few months ago, and foreign nationalities were rampant in Liangzhou. After our imperial envoy, Princess muyue, conducted a secret investigation, you were suspected of raising bandits and having intimate relations with foreign nationalities. There was no evidence of this, but we deal with cults and differences with you It's not groundless to watch the ethnic unrest. I told you that the imperial court will reward and punish clearly, and will not hide your credit or let go of your mistakes. ”
The eunuch who went to the second prince Hong Futian first read out the will, and then looked at Hong Futian, who was almost paralyzed on the ground, with a slight sneer: ”Help the heavenly king, but don't take the order to thank you? Oh, by the way, you're not a princess now. The emperor secretly granted me to take off your princess hat and withdraw your right to do straight play. In addition, you have to pay a fine of 50 million Hong banknotes for disaster relief in Liangzhou. Thunder, rain and dew are all grace, your highness. You won't refuse it.”
”My God! The Princess Hat supporting the heavenly king has been removed? Doesn't this mean that he has lost power? Isn't there only two of the three blue skies in the imperial court?”
”A fine of 50 million Hong banknotes, my God, what an astronomical figure is this? It is almost equivalent to the five-year tax revenue throughout Liangzhou. This is to empty out all his old base?”
As soon as the old eunuch spoke, there was almost an uproar. Crazy discussions broke out in the crowd. Even Hong Yu was shocked.
