Chapter 1129: The Prince's Visit Scrapes the Ground

The people sent by Long Xiao to the capital went to the mansion of the backer prince in the capital, and when the backer prince heard it, it turned out to be the elixir of the Qin Dynasty, and he was very interested. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Bayi Middle School? Wenwang. On the one hand, he hurriedly invited the emperor, and on the other hand, he sent an urgent document for 8oo miles, asking Long Xiao to take good care of the treasure and not make mistakes. When the emperor heard this, the relics of the Qin Dynasty appeared in Shenwu County, and they were still elixirs, and he was very happy. I wanted to see what was going on, so I sent the crown prince Yang Guang to lead the 3ooo ironclad army and rushed to Shenwu County.

The prince came to Shenwu County and saw Long Xiao, and asked Long Xiao to take out the elixir, after the prince carefully diagnosed, he knew that it was indeed the relic of the Qin Dynasty, so he sent someone back to the emperor, and he wanted to protect the relic treasure and return to Beijing. However, the prince did not rush back to Beijing, but summoned Gu Zhutong, the magistrate of Shenwu County.

"Gu Zhixian, I heard that Shenwu County is a great person, the people are rich, a small Zhixian County has invested 8ooo thousand taels to build roads, but it's amazing, today, the palace is on patrol, is there something to say?" , The prince is openly asking for bribes, how can Gu Zhixian pretend to be confused, so he had to say: "The prince has won the prize, Shenwu County is relatively wealthy, but he can't come up with much in a hurry, I implore the prince to stay for three days, can I let the officials raise it?" ”。 Gu Zhutong's meaning is very clear, he wants to discuss it with Longxian Cheng, the county's annual living silver has been spent, and if you take it again, it will be the death period, if the death period of the silver is taken out by the Hu family, if you can't take it out, won't you be sitting on wax?

Seeing that Gu Zhixian was very sensible, the prince felt that it didn't matter if he had three more days, anyway, Long Xiao's treasure had already arrived, and it was not bad for these three days, it depended on how much filial piety the county could give him. As the prince, since Shenwu County is a rich county government, he can't return empty-handed, according to the prince's idea, Shenwu County has a population of more than 2oo, even if it is 2oo taels of silver per person, he should get back 4oo taels of silver, otherwise he will come in vain.

So, the prince agreed to Gu Zhutong's request: "Okay, I'll stay for three days, and I'll go on the road after three days, if Gu Zhixian can't do it, don't blame me for being unkind", in the eyes of the prince, Zhixian is an ant, and if he wants to step on it, he will trample to death, even if he kills Zhixian, the officials will not fart, so the prince gave an order to Gu Zhutong very unceremoniously.

After Gu Zhutong heard this, the cold sweat on his back came down, if he couldn't raise the silver, he had to take his own body and silver out, although he was a little distressed, but it was better than no life to say, this is the prince, the future emperor, but it is not something that he can offend as a seven-grade sesame official. Gu Zhutong, who was in a panic, did not forget to give the prince's subordinates 10,000 taels of silver, so he inquired about the amount the prince wanted. It turned out that the prince only wanted 4oo thousand taels, Gu Zhutong was relieved, and said slowly that there are still tens of millions of treasury silver in the county, but there is no treasury silver, and he still has more than 14oo taels, and he took out 4ooo thousand taels by himself, and there are 1ooo thousand taels, as long as he keeps his head, it is better than anything. It's better than having a life to earn and not having a life to spend.

The prince is still polite to Long Xiao, and the prince also knows that Long Xiao's three elder brothers are all martial champions of the imperial court, and they all have heavy soldiers, one is his brother-in-law, and the other is the county horse, and he is also his brother-in-law, which is Long Xiao himself, who has a very deep relationship with the king of the backer, and is also the person he needs to woo, so the prince is still polite to Long Xiao. Of course, Long Xiao will not offend the prince for no reason, this is the future emperor, so Long Xiao is also very humble to the prince Yang Guang.

The prince is very useful, seeing that Long Xiao is neither arrogant nor humble, and he is still respectful to himself, he happily interacts with Long Xiao. Long Xiao was serving in the prince's barracks, naturally he sent someone to send wine, meat and food for the prince's 3ooo ironclad army to consume, Long Xiao knew that the prince was still living for three days, and he didn't know much, so he asked the prince what else he needed to do, and the prince smiled and said: "I'll live here for three days, I'm waiting for Gu Zhixian to prepare something for me, you, just accompany me for three days, you are a close confidant of the backer prince, and we will come and go often in the future."

Long Xiao was relieved when he heard it, so he accompanied the prince to drink and have fun in Shenwu County, the prince is also a womanizer, Long Xiao had to arrange various Qinglou on Qinglou Street, dedicate the best girls, and take turns to serve the prince, and the prince is also very useful. Gu Zhutong was anxious, looking for Long Xiao all over the place, and finally learned that Long Xiao was accompanying the prince for recreation, so he finally called Long Xiao out by giving gifts to the guards of the soldiers.

"Lord Long, you can save my life if you say anything, if I don't do it well this time, my life will be gone", Long Xiao asked what was going on, Gu Zhutong was a bitter face: "I sent someone to inquire, the prince wants 4oo thousand taels of silver, but on the accounts of the county, there is no idle silver, but there are 10 million taels of tax silver, but it is official silver, if I move, my life is not guaranteed, you give me a way, as long as I get through this difficulty, Lord Long, you are my benefactor to save the people."

Long Xiao said with a smile: "It's hard to say that the prince also wants silver, since there is silver on the account, don't you give the silver to the prince first, and then let's make up for the shortfall, it's easy to say, we still have 400 million taels of silver in Hu's Qianzhuang, isn't it enough?" ”。 As soon as Long Xiao said it, Gu Zhutong understood that he was asking himself to give the official silver to the prince first, and as for how to make up the official silver, you can discuss it again, since Long Xiancheng said so, Gu Zhutong has the bottom in his heart. Hurriedly took out 4oo taels of official silver, came to the barracks, met the prince, and respectfully handed it to the prince.

The prince saw that Gu Zhutong was doing things neatly, and he was very appreciative, so he said: "Yes, after I return to Beijing, I will tell the Ministry of Officials to arrange a position for you as a prefect, are you willing?" ”。 When Gu Zhu heard this, he was frightened. The road repair in Shenwu County has not yet been completed, and the silver that he should get has not been completely obtained, and at this time he has pulled down a deficit of 4oo yuan, if he leaves at this time, he will have nothing, at least he will have to wait until next year, not to mention the prefect, even the governor himself dares to do it.

"Prince, thank you for your kindness, I have only been in Shenwu County for less than a year, some things have not been straightened out, if I leave now, there will be a lot of inconvenience, as long as I wait until next year, my affairs will have an eyebrow, and when the time comes, I will obey the dispatch of the prince, and the next official will not dare to resign." Gu Zhutong said, the prince understood, it seems that the silver given to himself may be official silver, this guy needs a year to smooth it out, so the prince smiled and agreed: "Okay, this time next year, I will send someone to take a look, if you have good grades, I will let the officials give you a promotion, okay, you go down."

Gu Zhutong went down with relief, and the prince said to Long Xiao: "Long Xiao, the treasure is yours, please go to the capital with me, if this thing is really an elixir, the emperor will have a heavy reward." Long Xiao knew that it would be impossible for him not to go, so he also took the opportunity to go to see the backer prince, see what the prince said, and follow the prince back to Beijing. After meeting the emperor, Long Xiao told the story of the treasure, and the emperor was also suspicious, he didn't dare to eat it first, so he let a few eunuchs taste it, and now there was no adverse reaction, so he ate some by himself, and after he ate it, there was nothing else, that is, his body was a little excited, he was already old, and he was not very keen on making peace with women, but after taking the elixir, it turned out to be a night and the maid did not feel tired several times, and the emperor was overjoyed, so he rewarded Long Xiao with 10,000 taels of gold.

Long Xiao came to the palace of the king of the backer to see what the prince said, and as a result, the prince smiled and said: "Long Xiao, the elixir of life you have now is like an aphrodisiac, after the emperor eats it, his spirit is rejuvenated and counts women overnight, and it is not immortal like this, hehe." After hearing this, Long Xiao was also a little frightened, lest the king of the backer be a little unhappy: "Lord Wang, I don't know if this is an elixir, but I just know that under the emperor's world, it is not the king's land, as long as it is a treasure, it should be dedicated to the emperor, so I am in a hurry to tell you, as long as it is good for the emperor's body." The backer laughed: "If the treasure is not a treasure, don't say it, the key is your center, since the emperor has rewarded you with ten thousand taels of gold, then I will give you some more, and others in the province say that my rewards and punishments are unknown."

The backer prince also rewarded Long Xiao with 10,000 taels of gold, and Long Xiao said goodbye to the backer prince and returned to Shenwu County. Gu Zhutong is like an ant on a hot pot, waiting for Long Xiao's return. Seeing that Long Xiao was back, he hurriedly came to the county yamen, and when he saw Long Xiao, he said: "Lord Long, you can come back, where do I still have a deficit of 4oo thousand taels, what do you say to deal with it?" Long Xiao smiled and said a solution.
