Chapter 731: Returning to Beijing with Difficulty
Before the fight, everyone thought that there might be danger, but they didn't expect it to be so dangerous, almost every day someone would pounce on it, making it impossible to guard against it, and the daily march was like a war.
Su Manman felt that they were now like clearing the level in the game, there were endless monsters, and they could only stop when they arrived in the capital.
General Chang and Zheng Jingyi had long known that those who went to the capital would be robbed and killed by others, so they did not send any more people to ask for help, but they didn't know that there were still fish that escaped from the net, that is, the small soldier sent by Zhao Xiang to deter General Chang before.
He left very early, disguised himself, and had no pursuers behind him, so he arrived in the capital very smoothly, and then took a handwritten letter from Zhao Xiang all the way into the capital to face the saint.
Emperor Zhao Xuan learned that Zheng Jingyi and others had been rescued, and even the treasure had been transported to the capital, and he was overjoyed for a while, and immediately sent troops out of the city to greet him.
This time I finally caught up, and it was the top boss of Zhao Xiang of the Gyeonggi Camp who came to pick up the person.
He was taken aback by the remnants of the army, how terrible it must be to be injured like this, as if he had just come down from the battlefield.
"Nan-sama."
"General Chang."
After a group of greetings, Nanda understood what was going on, the treasure was too eye-catching, and it attracted coveted rats, so many robberies and killings, no wonder it was so miserable.
This time, it is much better to have the Nanda people join in, they have brought a lot of people, and the Nanda people are famous in the north, so naturally no one dares to come up and capture the tiger's whiskers.
Even if there were occasional people with unclear brains, they were all cleaned up, so that Su Manman and they finally came to the capital without stopping.
The emperor couldn't wait to listen to the letter in the capital, and Zheng Jingyi and his party didn't dare to delay.
After letting the palace people check it, they carried everything to the main hall of the Ziyang Palace, spread it all over the ground, and as soon as the lid of the box was opened, the emperor's eyes were straightened.
He had never seen so much gold and silver treasure!
So many people entered the capital with great momentum, and carried so many boxes, which naturally alarmed the whole capital.
The ministers entered the palace one after another, and even the Emperor Taishang went to the Ziyang Palace, and when he arrived, he was dazzled by the gold and silver treasures on the ground.
The old Shangshu of the household department danced even more: "Now the treasury is going to be abundant!" ”
The emperor glanced at him, and who said that the silver was to be incorporated into the treasury? At the beginning, he had to hide and tuck a treasure away, for fear that these ministers would not agree, but now that he has found it, he has to be shared.
He was very unhappy, very unhappy!
Su Zhengli was relieved to see Zheng Jingyi standing well in the crowd, knowing that his daughter was afraid that she would also go home. He didn't meet anyone, as long as they were okay. He doesn't want his daughter to be married before she gets married.
There is a lot of noise in the hall, where it looks like a minister, but like a lady selling vegetables in the vegetable market.
Everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, so much money is piled up on the ground, why do you have to drink soup?
Who doesn't need silver? All are needed!
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, they would go up and ask for silver, and they would not give up until they bit down a piece of meat.
Seeing the wolf-like eyes of the ministers, the emperor faintly regretted letting these ministers meet, where is this time for him to show off, this is the time to drink his blood, regret not being at the beginning!
Su Zhengli saw the flesh on the emperor's cheeks shaking constantly, and knew that he was distressed. You deserve it, you knew it was like this, why didn't you stop others from coming in just now? This wealth is exposed, can the money still stay in his pocket honestly? Think beautifully!
Su Zhengli also wants to get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately he can't use it very much, the family is not short of money, and there is no use in the yamen, so much silver is placed in front of his eyes, he is also very greedy, okay?
But no matter how greedy he is, he can't say it, but he has to show that he has no desires and no desires, he has to stand aside with the emperor, and the time has come to brush up his favorability.
"Bang bang." The emperor picked up the paperweight on the table and knocked on the table, "The family is quiet!" ”
As soon as he spoke, there was a sudden silence below.
"Zheng Jianshi will tell the big guys, what happened to your group? How did you get things back to the capital? I'm very interested in this, and I'd like to hear from you. The Emperor decided to listen first, and he felt it was important.
Zheng Jingyi participated in the whole process of the treasure, and he had the most right to speak. Although Wang Kaizhi also participated, his eloquence was not good, and the story of the ups and downs was told in his mouth, what else did it mean?
Zheng Jingyi took a step forward, although he was very tired, but this time the face saint was very important, and he couldn't show any trace of fatigue.
However, before that, he still stepped forward to ask the emperor for a pot of tea, and said that the whole thing was very long, and he couldn't finish it for a while.
The last thing the emperor and his ministers lacked was time, and they listened with their ears pricked up.
In fact, many ministers are still a little resentful in their hearts, the emperor has done such a big thing behind their backs, if it weren't for the traces of those gold and silver treasures, wouldn't they have been concealed from beginning to end?
But you can't tell the emperor about this matter, wouldn't it be unruly to let him tell the ministers everything, who really dares to talk like this, don't want it.
Zheng Jingyi asked for a pot of tea and began a long narrative.
From how he got into the south, how he found the place, and then found the guide to go up the mountain, the various trap beasts he encountered on the way, and then the suspected treasure he found to dig up, and the roots of the trees that were buried in the pit and gnawed every day.
When the results came out, they fell into the pit again, and found a batch of treasures, and the days they spent eating fish in the dark river underground, and the long search for the exit, and the time they waited until the rescue.
In the end, the rescue came, solved the underground puzzle, went down the mountain to ask for help, and how to be attacked after moving the treasure down the mountain, and then there were constant turmoil all the way, until he returned to the capital with many difficulties.
How many twists and turns, how many dangers, it sounds sad!
Looking back now, it was only a matter of a few words, and Zheng Jingyi didn't know how he survived.
Speaking of excitement, even the little palace lady who served next to the emperor wiped her tears.
When the emperor heard this, he was also shocked on the side, and only said: "All the ministers have worked hard!" ”
With just this sentence, Zheng Jingyi knew that their hard work was not in vain, his goal was achieved, the emperor would definitely compensate them, this trip was not in vain, he would definitely be able to earn back the capital of marrying a lady.
