Chapter 240: The Emperor is also short of money
There was no light in Ling Yun's room, but by the light of the lantern outside the house, Ling Yun and Liu Yanyang sat at the head of the bed and the other on the chair, and the two of them looked at each other and fell into deep thought. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a long time, Ling Yun stood up, looked at Liu Yanyang who was sitting on the chair, and sneered: "Hehe! Why should I believe you? If there were any treasures, you would be so generous with half of me. For you lackeys of Wei Zhongxian, there is something worth believing me. ”
Liu Yanyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hehe! Don't say it so absolutely, tell you about the treasure map, and as for whether you want to or not, you can think about it slowly. The reason why we took refuge in Wei Zhongxian is just for the sake of money, I have already heard the news, Wei Zhongxian has been looting the people's fat and ointment for so many years, accumulating tens of millions of taels of wealth, but he is not easy to show people with so much money, so he buried these treasures secretly, and this treasure map is in Wei Zhongxian's mansion, as for how to find it? Presumably you call yourself a thief, so you don't need me to tell you! ”
"Hiss......"
After listening to Liu Yanyang's words, Ling Yun also secretly gasped, as the saying goes: wealth moves people's hearts. No one doesn't care about so much money, and Ling Yun is no exception.
Looking at Ling Yun, who was already in deep thought, Liu Yanyang continued to add fuel and vinegar: "With such a huge wealth, I'm afraid that the emperor's small inner treasury and treasury together are not as much as this wealth, even if you get half of it, it is enough to be rich and rival the country, you better think about it slowly!" ”
With that, Liu Yanyang turned around and walked outside.
When Liu Yanyang walked to the door, he turned his head to Lian Yun and said lightly: "By the way, if you really want to get the treasure map, you can come to me at the right time, on the surface, we are still incompatible." But secretly I will help you. ”
Ling Yun sat at the head of the bed slowly, and did not look up at Liu Yanyang, his eyes were a little distracted and said, "Let me think about it......"
"Then you think about it slowly, but I finally advise you, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, in the future, you have to change your attitude towards the emperor, every emperor likes respectful courtiers, just your character, once the emperor is suspicious of you, as long as someone adds a little oil and vinegar, it will become your lifeline."
After hearing this, Ling Yun nodded slightly and said, "Thank you......"
said so, but Lingyun's heart was already overturned, what Liu Remnantyang said was not unreasonable, who is the emperor? O king of a country! Even if he is an old prince and general of the court, after seeing the emperor, he has to be respectful. And every time he sees the emperor, he always looks like a hanger. The reason why the emperor likes his character is because he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, is used to flattery, and is just fresh for a while.
Since ancient times, people who dare to point fingers and talk nonsense in front of the emperor are only powerful ministers like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, otherwise the final outcome will only be the end of Nian Qianyao in the Qing Dynasty.
In this way, with a nervous mood, Ling Yun also fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.
The morning sun is rising, the day replaces the night, the bright sun shines on the earth, and the pedestrians on the street are gradually busy. Those who carry carts, those who carry baskets, and those who ride horses and sit in sedan chairs make the bustling streets lively again.
Outside the Ling Mansion
Hundreds of carts lined up in a long line, Zhang Gui held the ledger in one hand and the wolf pen in the other hand to carefully check the boxes on each cart.
Lu Xiangsheng, Long Tianyang and others led the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Guard and some family members to protect the sides of the convoy, each of them with their knives out of their sheaths and bows wound, looking around with great vigilance.
Even if there are passers-by who see a group of wolf-like armor soldiers, they will take a detour one after another.
Funai.
Ling Yun was still asleep, and Meng Tianya knocked on the door outside the door.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Are you awake? Long Tianyang and Lord Lu Xiangsheng were already waiting outside the mansion with the silver cart......"
Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and yawned, "Ah...... Got it...... Let them wait first......"
When Lingyun finished washing, it was already the third pole of the sun.
After leaving the mansion, after Ling Yun greeted everyone, he walked in front of Zhang Gui, who was counting the silver car, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Luo, how is the counting?" ”
Zhang Gui pointed to the silver car: "If you go back to your lordship, you have counted it three times, 600,000 taels of silver, a lot of money." ”
"Hmmm! Rushing to the silver chariot, we entered the palace and handed over the ...... to the emperor."
Palace
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sat in front of the dragon book case, looking at the mountains of twists and turns, his worried head hurt a little, but he just stomped his feet vigorously: "Tut-tut...... It's money again...... It's money again......"
Looking closely, I saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a sallow complexion, two deep-set eye sockets, and dark circles had appeared.
Originally, the condition of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was getting worse day by day, coupled with the demolition of the salary in various places at the border in the past two days, the drought in Shaanxi was serious, and the governors of the three sides asked for disaster relief.
In this regard, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who has never looked at the recitals, is lying in front of the dragon book case at the moment to review the recitals.
The reason why Emperor Tianqi usually doesn't deal with the canon is because everything is handled by Wei Zhongxian. But in the past few days, every twist and turn is urging for food.
Even though Wei Zhongxian has money, if you want him to take it out, it is as difficult as heaven. So Wei Zhongxian handed over this headache to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The little eunuch on the side was holding the medicine bowl, which had been cold and hot several times in a row, but the little eunuch saw the sad appearance of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he never dared to step forward.
In desperation, the little eunuch went to the harem to invite Empress Zhang Yan.
Coming to the imperial study, Zhang Yan walked to the dragon case with a medicine bowl and lotus steps, and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, no matter how busy the state affairs are, you must pay attention to your body." Drink the medicine while it's hot! ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was already in a very congested mood, and when he heard the voice beside him, he was angry and didn't come anywhere, and was about to vent, but saw that it was Empress Zhang.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed, took the medicine bowl from Empress Zhang's hand, just took two sips, and then put the medicine bowl on top of the dragon case.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was about to look through the recital again, when a little eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside, knelt on the ground, and lay down in front of the dragon case, not daring to raise his head: "Long live the Lord, the Flying Eagle Guard has commanded Ling Yun to come!" ”
"Hmm...... Why did he come so soon? Let him in. ”
"Yes!"
There was not much time, so Ling Yun followed the little eunuch into the imperial study.
After Liu Yanyang's suggestion, after Ling Yun saw the emperor this time, he was not as casual as before, but respectful.
As soon as he entered the imperial study, Ling Yun was afraid to bow to the ground and salute: "Humble Ling Yun to see the emperor, long live!" Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose ......"
"Aiqing is flat."
"Thank Emperor Longen!"
Regarding Ling Yun's actions today, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was also a little puzzled, but he muttered to himself in his heart: "Strange? What's wrong with him today? It's not as random as before, isn't it too urgent? But I can't help it, now the treasury is empty, and the inner curtain silver has to be used for all the expenses of the harem, and the border army is too urgent, if I had money, it wouldn't be like this! ”
Looking at Ling Yun who stood up, the emperor asked tentatively, "Why does Aiqing have time to watch today?" Is there something difficult to do? Tell me that if I can help, I will help you. ”
"Damn, what do you mean to be able to help? Speaking of which, it doesn't depend on your mood. ”
After Ling Yun flipped through the abdomen in his heart, he bowed respectfully to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "If you go back to the emperor, you will come to hand over the decree!" ”
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, his heart immediately felt like two doors had opened, and it instantly brightened.
However, he still couldn't believe it, just one night, how could Ling Yun possibly scrape together 500,000 taels of silver?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse stood up with some emotion: "Aiqing must understand that this crime of bullying the monarch is not small!" ”
Ling Yun frowned slightly and said, "Hmm! Feelings don't believe me! But also, 500,000 taels of silver, who can get it together overnight? ”
"I don't dare to be humble, 600,000 taels of silver have been pulled outside the noon gate, and I ask the emperor to check it."
"What? Six...... 600,000, how can there be an extra 100,000 taels? As he spoke, the Apocalypse Emperor's voice trembled a little.
Ling Yun still bowed down and said: "If you go back to the emperor, you only need to have three meals a day, and there is nowhere to use the extra money to keep it, but now the border is urging food and salary everywhere, so the humble post will send all the money, hoping to share the emperor's worries!" ”
But how did the Emperor of the Apocalypse know? It's not that Ling Yun has too much money and nowhere to spend it, but that the 600,000 taels of silver are all won by Wei Zhongxian, and sooner or later the emperor will know about it. Rather than this, it is better to be a favor in advance and show your loyalty.
This made the Emperor of the Apocalypse very happy, and he was worried about money, so Ling Yun sent 600,000 taels, although it couldn't solve the big problem, but the military salaries of the officials and soldiers of the Nine Sides could still be temporarily alleviated.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse left the Dragon Case and grabbed Ling Yun's arm with a smile on his face: "You are really my loyal minister!" Tell me, how am I going to reward you? ”
"Sharing worries for the emperor is a matter of humble duty."
Speaking of this, Ling Yun looked sideways at the dragon book case, in addition to the mountains of dissipation, there was also a bowl of soup medicine still steaming, and the strong smell of Chinese medicine could be smelled from afar.
"I want to ask the emperor to promise one thing, and I hope the emperor will agree."
If Ling Yun didn't want anything, maybe the Emperor of the Apocalypse would remember Ling Yun's goodness, but his opening made the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhang, who was standing aside, a little unhappy in their hearts.
But for the sake of the 600,000 taels of silver he had just sent, he just didn't vent on the spot.
Ling Yun also saw the expression of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but he just pretended to be indifferent on the surface.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse pondered for a moment, squeezed out a smile and said, "Aiqing just has to tell me about something. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse can't do it if he doesn't agree! They have just brought you silver, and if you cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, who will dare to help you in the future.
Ling Yun once again respectfully bowed and said, "I implore the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, no matter how busy the state affairs are, you can't forget to take medicine." ”
As he spoke, Ling Yun looked over the dragon case.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhang thought that Ling Yun would have to make more demanding requirements, but they never expected that Ling Yun's request was to let the Emperor of the Apocalypse pay attention to the dragon body. This made the two of them feel much more relaxed, and their opinion of Ling Yun also rose a lot.
How smart Empress Zhang was, just after listening to Ling Yun's words, she immediately walked to the Dragon Book case and brought the medicine bowl on the table to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
At this moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was relieved by most of his sorrows, and his mood was also a lot more relaxed, so he picked up the medicine bowl in Empress Zhang's hand and drank it all in one go.
After drinking the decoction in the bowl, the Emperor of the Apocalypse clicked his lips and said to a little eunuch: "The book of the military department, the book of the household department will go to count the silver taels outside the noon gate." ”
"Yes!"
The matter has been done, and Ling Yun knows that there is nothing to do with himself here. The small couple is here, and they can't be light bulbs themselves.
"Your Majesty, the trivial affairs in the lowly army are busy......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded: "Hmm! Stand down! ”
"Yes!"
