The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Have you found any evidence?" ”

"The account is well done, nothing can be found, but as long as the actual investigation has been made, the material cost and labor cost are not that number, at least exaggerated, half of the money is greedy, and this silver does not know whose pocket it has fallen, this pushes that and that pushes every conclusion of this, so this matter is not easy to investigate, but Erchen suspects that since the announcement of the distribution of silver twice, every layer of the passing, there are deductions, but Erchen has no evidence, and he got this batch of treasures at that time, but also because he was afraid that if he handed it over to the court first, there is a court to distribute disaster relief money will be withheld, so they keep it privately and use it for disaster relief first. Gu Jianglin said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"How much money are there in those treasures?" The emperor asked, "When did you get it?" ”

"It's almost spring." Gu Jianglin replied: "At that time, it was also the time when the dam was most short of money. ”

"Why didn't you make an excerpt, Li Zhen reported that the dam was short of money?" The emperor asked calmly.

Gu Jianglin took a deep breath, and only after a long time did he say: "At that time, the treasury also broadcast a lot of silver in order to help the victims, if it was used by corrupt officials in the process, wouldn't it be even worse, it happened that this batch of silver arrived first, so the retainers took it first, and this is all the account books." ”

With that, he took out a booklet from his bosom.

From the time Qi Lichen pulled this batch of treasures in front of him, he made a detailed record of every treasure, the provenance of each treasure, the silver exchanged for it, and the place where it was used, in order to prevent such a day from happening.

As a result, the emperor looked at the account book, and most of the records in front were treasures, and just looking at the amount on the book was a very huge number.

I don't know if he has some secrets, but even if he keeps some privately, it doesn't hurt, such a large batch of treasures is indeed surprising.

"Where did this treasure come from?" The emperor asked.

"The treasure map I got by chance, but it is said that it was left behind when the previous dynasty opened the country, just in case." Gu Jianglin said.

"The details above are also clear, how much is left now?" The emperor asked again.

"The rest of the treasures are written on the last page, and the middle part is the money used in each item of the dam, including the cost of labor and materials, which is clearly written, and the emperor can compare it according to the market price." Gu Jianglin said without humility or arrogance: "I will let the rest of the people escort back to Beijing by another path, it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow, and the emperor can compare it with the above according to the roster, and there will be no difference." ”

"Why are you telling me this?" The emperor asked.

Gu Jianglin smiled, and then said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the soldiers who lead the land, it is not the king's ministers, everything that happens in this world naturally has to be known to the emperor, not to mention that this matter is not a trivial matter." ”

The emperor took a breath, smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "You have done a good job, I have read all the accounts on this, and there is not the slightest mistake." ”

Gu Jianglin smiled, "Thank you father for your praise, the road to finding the treasure is not peaceful, there are countless people who covet this batch of treasures, people in the rivers and lakes, and people in the court, so when the treasure has not arrived safely, please don't tell your father about it, the sons are afraid that there will be unscrupulous people who send this batch of treasures, and they dare to rob them if the emperor knows." ”

"What do you mean by this......" The emperor frowned slightly.

"There is no evidence, and Erchen is just conjecture." Gu Jianglin said.

Seeing that he seemed to be hiding a lot of things in his heart, the emperor didn't want to ask any more, but sighed faintly and said: "You kid, you always have a lot of your own thoughts, and outsiders are not completely untrustworthy, do you have too many misunderstandings about your father?" "Let's read the book

"Father, the sons don't dare, father, you are a high king, and everything you do is right." Gu Jianglin said that he didn't know if his words were sincere, so he said them so naturally.

The emperor sighed and walked in front of him, fought against him, and said after a long time: "The emperor is also a human being, and people are not sages, who can do nothing, so I will also make mistakes." ”

Gu Jianglin was a little at a loss for a while, he didn't know what the emperor's intention was in saying this.

The emperor took a breath and patted him on the shoulder, "There are many things, I have misunderstood you too much, this time, I shouldn't have misunderstood you." ”

Gu Jianglin said with an inexplicable expression, "What misunderstanding does my father have about me?" ”

"Don't talk about it, I still have things to deal with." The emperor patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of relief.

Gu Jianglin nodded, "The emperor's sons want to recommend a person to the emperor, this person's name is Qi Lichen, he is a talented man, the road to treasure hunting is difficult and dangerous, it is he who brought these treasures back, solved the urgent need, and almost folded in the hands of traitors many times, he said that he should not be meritorious, but the sons always thought that he should be rewarded with something." ”

"What do you want me to reward him?" The emperor smiled.

"yes." Gu Jianglin also laughed, "The sons and daughters have thought of it for their father." ”

"Then let's hear it." The emperor sat down again, and Gu Jianglin also followed behind him, massaging his head, and said while massaging: "Qi Lichen has a fiancée and has a good relationship, this is a coincidence, it is the Xi Muyun you want to see." ”

"Xi Muyun?" When the emperor heard this name, his reaction seemed to be stronger, and he said after a while: "It seems that there are many talented people around you. ”

Gu Jianglin didn't know what to say for a while, and what the emperor said at this time seemed a little bad.

The emperor thought of that smart woman, if she could be used by him, or marry Gu Jianglin and assist Gu Jianglin, it would be a good choice, but now, he remembered what Zhou Fang said.

Xi Muyun has been poisoned and is unconscious, how can he still give marriage, and he can't marry if he gives marriage.

"Ugh." He knew in one breath that Xi Murong didn't want to tell them the truth about his poisoning, so he also planned to hide it at this time, so he smiled and said, "This is not a prince and nobleman, what's the use of me giving marriage?" ”

"The emperor gives a good marriage and a good couple, and he will definitely be happy and happy, and he will grow old." Gu Jianglin smiled and said.

The emperor sighed, and after a long time, he said: "Let's discuss this matter later, if there is nothing else, you can step back first." ”

"Why can't the emperor agree? Is it just a decree to give marriage? Gu Jianglin didn't understand a little, this wasn't for real money, he just wanted a will to represent blessings.

The emperor frowned, glanced back at him, and reprimanded: "Is this matter difficult for you to persecute me?" ”

Gu Jianglin realized that the emperor was already angry, he hurriedly took a step back, clasped his fists and said, "Father, the son doesn't think like this, it's just that the son really wants you to reward something." ”

The emperor sighed, Qi Lichen can be an official and a half-post, but for Xi Muyun, everyone will definitely die if they refuse to read, I am afraid there is only the grace after death, thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Jianglin, "I don't need to say much about this matter, you go down first, you know that they have a lot of credit, and they will definitely think of a suitable way to reward them in the future, now everything is not easy to say, so don't bother with this matter." ”
