Chapter 96: National Fortunes

The slave and maid who were dragged down were desperate in their hearts, and they must have only one way to die.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was sitting in Empress Zhang's arms, giggled at this time.

"Queen Mother, you see that maid is so funny, like a monkey."

"Yes, Cheng'er is right, I really want to be a monkey."

The conversation between the mother and son made everyone in the hall shudder.

When Prime Minister Zhang learned that several ministers had made an audience with the emperor, he privately wrote down the names of these ministers.

It didn't take long for these ministers to be raided and exiled for various reasons.

Many officials dare not speak out in anger, fearing that they will be punished one day.

I sighed in my heart that the Great Zhou Dynasty was not far from extinction.

Prime Minister Zhang's Mansion.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng had just cleaned up the few ministers who were open-mouthed, and he was a little tired at the moment.

I just got out of the carriage and prepared to go back to my house for a good rest.

At the door, I saw the butler waiting.

The housekeeper saw that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was back, and ordered the porter to kneel down and welcome the prime minister back to his house.

"Butler, why are you here?"

"If you go back to Xiangye, there are distinguished guests from afar in the house, saying that you have to meet Xiangye if you have something, and the slave estimates that Xiangye should also come back at this hour, so he welcomes Xiangye back here."

"Where did the distinguished guests come from?"

"Back to Xiangye, the distinguished guest is from the north."

As soon as he heard that he was coming from the north, Prime Minister Zhang asked the housekeeper where he was, which was quite important.

"Where's the person?"

"Back to Xiangye, the servants arranged them in the back hall, leaving only a few henchmen to serve, and no one else in the house knew."

Zhang Cheng's arrangement compared to the housekeeper is very agreeable.

"Yes, yes, butler, you are getting better and better."

"Xiangye praises falsely, the slaves all learned from Xiangye."

While talking, when he arrived at the back hall, the housekeeper retired the people who served and stood at the door himself, leaving space for the people inside.

This distinguished guest from afar is not a bystander, it is Maradona, the Hun general from Peizhou City.

"Maradona, I've seen Prime Minister Zhang."

A big gift made Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's vanity instantly satisfied.

"General Dona doesn't have to be polite, hurry up."

"Prime Minister Zhang, don't hide it, this time Dona came to our king and wanted to ask the prime minister to help."

"Oh, what's the matter, please ask General Dona to come in person, and dare to show up in this capital."

"Xiangye, Dona is also forced to do this, for more than ten years, we have been at war with General Zhao Changqing, at first I just thought it was no big deal, I never thought he was so tricky, this time it also took a lot of effort to disguise and blend in, if it wasn't for the big deal this time, Dona would not dare to come in person."

Prime Minister Zhang thought about it in his mind before he remembered this person.

"General Zhao Changqing, oh, my appearance is a little impressive."

"Xiangye, I came to bring some gifts to Xiangye this time, and I asked Xiangye to smile."

With that, Maradona pulled out a wooden box from his arms.

When I opened the wooden box, I saw two beads as big as the palm of a baby's hand.

Prime Minister Zhang glanced at it, a little uninterested.

"General Dona, don't you look down on your true appearance, just such a bead, but there is no shortage of my prime minister's mansion."

Maradona put the wooden box on the table and laughed.

"Xiang Ye doesn't know, these two beads are not ordinary beads, I don't know if Xiang Ye has ever heard of the Absolute Dust Bead."

"Absolute Dust Beads? But that legend is extremely precious, the dust bead taken out of the deep sea? Isn't his whereabouts unknown? ”

"Exactly, but Xiangye doesn't know, this absolute dust bead is not missing, but in the tomb of a nobleman in my Huns, the ancestor of this nobleman got these two beads, and then after he died, he and his wife had one in their mouths, we opened the tomb a few days ago, and found that the corpse did not decompose in the slightest, but as if asleep."

"General Dona, what do you mean by this, that the prime minister is still standing alive in front of you at this moment?"

This absolute dust bead, Prime Minister Zhang also knows, is the world's treasure, which can prolong life and has the effect of detoxifying.

"Xiangye, the young general has no other meaning, it's just such a precious thing, it's a pity not to give it to Xiangye, and put it in the hands of such a rough person as me. Please accept it, it's just a little bit of caution on our part. ”

Maradona pushed the wooden box towards Prime Minister Zhang.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's heart had already moved, and he was not shirking at the moment, he picked up the box, opened the box, looked at the two beads, and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, General Dona, if there is anything you need help with, you can say it directly, but I am also a little Xiangye, and I don't have any other skills, a small favor is okay, if it is a big help, it may not be able to help."

Maradona smiled, and couldn't help but think in his heart: This old man is too manipulative, this Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be under his control, and there is nothing he can help with.

"Xiangye has been thinking about it a lot, and it is indeed a small matter. Zhao Changqing, the defender of Peizhou City, is really powerful, we have been fighting in Peizhou City for more than ten years, and we have not taken advantage of it, please think of a way, can you let Zhao Changqing go to another place. ”

Although Prime Minister Zhang was greedy for money, he also knew that Zhao Changqing was a strong general guarding Peizhou City, and Peizhou City was a barrier to guard the Xiongnu attack.

If Zhao Changqing is gone, then this Peizhou City will definitely be lost.

"General Dona, what is your king's idea, I know very well in my heart that I am the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I naturally have to think about the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I will not do anything harmful to the national fortune of my Great Zhou Dynasty."

Maradona couldn't help but sarcastically say it: This is a good saying, who doesn't know that as long as there is money and enough things to make Zhang Chengxiang tempted in exchange, there is nothing that cannot be done.

"What Xiang Ye said is that the young general just wants to do business with the citizens of Peizhou City, we have more beef and mutton and some dairy products, but the things needed for daily life are indeed extremely lacking, and we don't mean anything else."

This is said so tactfully, what reason does Prime Minister Zhang have not to agree.

After all, the Xiongnu just wanted to do business with the people of Peizhou City and take what they needed from each other.

Although I know what the Huns are thinking, it is good that they don't say it on the surface.

"General Dona, I won't be able to transfer Zhao Changqing back for a while, but there is a deputy general named Zhang Quan in his army who is my distant relative, and he should be able to help you with anything, and when there is a good time in the future, I will definitely transfer Zhao Changqing back to the capital."

"In this way, thank you Xiangye."

Maradona fulfilled the purpose of his trip and was ready to leave.

"Xiangye, the young general won't bother much, and I'll leave."

"Walk slowly."

Maradona opened the door of the house, and the housekeeper of Zhang's house waited outside the house, and when he saw Maradona come out, he beckoned him to go out with him through the hidden small door on the side, and there was a prepared carriage outside the small door.

When the housekeeper came back, he saw Prime Minister Zhang Cheng holding the wooden box and looking at it carefully.

Those two beads are really well-deserved rare treasures, and they can still emit a faint light when the room is so bright.

When he saw the butler and returned, he showed the beads in his hand to the butler.

"Butler, come and see, how good are these beads?"

Where would the housekeeper say badly, echoing Prime Minister Zhang's words.

"Xiangye, the slave looks at this bead very well, although the slave doesn't understand this, he also thinks this bead is good."

"Butler, even if you have some vision, this bead is the famous Absolute Dust Pearl, because the time in this world is extremely short, so it has the name of the Absolute Dust Pearl, but some people say that this Absolute Dust Pearl, which country is not far from destroying the country."

The butler took the opportunity to talk.

"Xiangye, I heard those people spread falsehoods, and there are a few people in this world who have seen the Absolute Dust Pearl, they just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and they deliberately say so, but they actually feel sour in their hearts."

"Yes, yes, you're right, those of them, that's what they think, now that this dust bead is in my hands, I want to see if this Great Zhou Dynasty will really perish."

Maradona, who was sitting in the carriage, was extremely easy to get out of the city because of the carriage of Prime Minister Zhang's family.

Out of the city, the companions who had been waiting in advance had already prepared their horses.

Ride on a horse and gallop all the way to the north.

During the time on the road, Maradona couldn't help but talk about the Great Zhou Dynasty with his companions.

"Xin Lahong, let me tell you, this Great Zhou Dynasty is not far from destroying the country?"

"Dona, why do you say that? But what did you find? ”

"More than ten years ago, I once came to the capital with my father, and at that time, no matter which official's carriage entered or left the city, it would be subject to particularly strict inspection, just like the current Peizhou City, and now it seems that the guards in the capital are also very ordinary.

A capital city is not as well guarded as a border city, and you can imagine how long the country will survive. Moreover, the king asked me to give the absolute dust bead to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, although this absolute dust bead is unparalleled in the world, but it is also a cursed filth thing. ”

"What's going on? I haven't heard of it yet. ”

"This absolute dust bead, once born, will inevitably perish, so the king, worried that this bead will bring something bad to our Huns, so let me give this bead to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, in this way, I will not only do things but also send filthy things out."

"Dona, don't be a rumor, where did a bead get so much magic?"

"This bead, the king has been winning it for a few years, you see these years, we were hit by that Zhao Changqing, as soon as everyone went to the battlefield, they collapsed almost immediately. I don't know if you believe it or not, but I believe it anyway, and the national teacher also said that this bead is not a good thing. ”

"The national teacher has said it, so I naturally believe it. I just don't know, we've been looking for so many years, and we haven't found the witch in the mouth of the national teacher, what can we do? ”

"I have some suspicions, the witch is no longer a Hun at all, and I will apply online to expand the scope when I go back. The national teacher said, whoever gets the witch can get the world, this world must be our Huns, we have to make the surrounding countries, who despised us in the past, have to bow down to us. ”

"Is this witch really as powerful as the national teacher said?"

"You still don't believe the words of the national teacher?"

Xiongnu Palace.

The Hun King, who was sitting on a sheepskin felt, was listening respectfully to an old man with a black face below who said this.

"National teacher, I have asked Maradona to give the dust bead to Prime Minister Zhang of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, you have done a good job in this matter, or it won't be long before the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall. But the king, we can't relax our vigilance, we have been looking for this witch for more than ten years, and we haven't found it yet, so please be sure to take this matter to heart. ”

"National teacher, this Xiongnu has asked this king to turn over, but I haven't found one that meets the requirements of the national teacher, there are a few before, and the national teacher has also seen it, but it's not at all."

"Your Majesty, in this case, I am also very puzzled, why don't I go back and look at the celestial phenomena, and then do a fortune divination, so as to see if there are any clues that can help us find the witch."

"In this way, then there will be a teacher of the country."

"Hmm."

After admitting a word, the national teacher turned around and left.

From behind Wang Wei came a richly dressed woman, who fell into the arms of the Xiongnu king as if she had no bones.

"Your Majesty, this national teacher is too disrespectful, how can he be so rude and swagger out like this."

The king, who was originally holding the beauty, was enjoying it, and the beauty's words made the king lose interest suddenly.

stood up directly, and the beauty in his arms rolled directly to the ground.

With the support of the maid beside him, he stood up.

She said delicately: "Your Majesty, have you fallen and hurt someone's family?" ”

"Get out, the national teacher is also what you can say, don't let this king see you."

The king was angry, and the beauty was frightened.

"The king atonements, the kings atone."
