Chapter 614: National Gift
The gate of the capital division is crowded with people.
The people stood on both sides of the official road, looking at the end of the official road from a distance.
Today is the day when Zuo Xiaowei and the right general and the left servant of the Ministry of Officials Tang Ning return to Beijing, and he went to Jiangnan to exterminate the rebels, crushed the ambitions of the traitors, and also relieved the siege of the court and the people.
Lord Tang has made great contributions, even His Majesty led hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him in person, and the Beijing Division was even more empty, and the people gathered at the gate of the city, looking forward to it.
This is a national gift, and the national gift is treated as a national gift.
Emperor Chen sat in the car, looked into the distance, saw that there was still no movement in front of him, and turned around and asked, "When will they arrive?" ”
Wei Jian said: "Back to Your Majesty, the spy has just returned, Lord Tang, they will arrive in about a quarter of an hour." ”
Emperor Chen nodded, although his face was calm, but the trace of expectation in his eyes could not be concealed.
According to their ranks, the hundred officials stood on both sides of the road, even if the sun above their heads was scorching, they had to stand honestly.
Even His Majesty is waiting at the gate of the city, how dare they have any complaints?
After all, what they are waiting for is just a hero, and some people are standing in the scorching sun and waiting, but it is their own uncle, thinking about it this way, they feel much more comfortable.
The officials beside Zhong Mingli looked at him from time to time, full of ridicule.
Zhong Mingli's face remained unchanged, and under the strange eyes of everyone, he was as steady as Mount Tai.
Although his father-in-law is always pressed by his own uncle, there seems to be no majesty at all, but since his daughter put on the three-grade command, he has never thought of comparing with his own uncle, after all, if there is no Tang Ning, he is afraid that he is still in Lingzhou, as a grievance county commander who can't even protect his daughter, how can he be promoted to six levels in two years and sit in the position of Jing Zhaoyin?
What's wrong with my father-in-law not being as good as my uncle, there is such an uncle, I don't know how many people in the court envy him?
I don't know if it's his delusion, sometimes he thinks that His Majesty looks at him strangely, full of envy and jealousy......
He enjoyed the gaze of the crowd, and at one moment, the crowd suddenly erupted in a huge cheer.
"It's back!"
"I see them!"
"Look, Lord Tang has returned to Beijing!"
……
Tang Ning didn't expect that the people of Jingshi would be so enthusiastic, he got out of the carriage, only to feel that the cheers on both sides were deafening, and even the ground under his feet seemed to be shaking.
Emperor Chen got out of the car, Tang Ning took Shang Fang's sword from Chen Zhou's hand, raised his hands, walked in front of him, knelt on one knee, and said, "The minister's errand has been completed, please take back Shang Fang's sword." ”
"Tang Aiqing, please get up." Emperor Chen personally helped him up and said, "You really lived up to my expectations. ”
Wei Jian took Shang Fang's sword from Tang Ning's hand, and Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's holy grace, the minister will not dare to live up to it, only by going all out can you repay Your Majesty's kindness." ”
"Yes, yes!" Emperor Chen laughed twice and said, "I have set up a banquet in the palace, and Aiqing will return to the palace with me to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”
Although at this moment, Tang Ning couldn't wait to rush home and take Xiaoru Xiaoyi into his arms, but the emperor couldn't help but give face, so he could only bow his hand again: "Your Majesty." ”
Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Chen got back into the car, and when he was about to go up, he looked back at Tang Ning and asked in a low voice, "Those boxes are full of silver?" ”
Although there were not many boxes behind the convoy, even if they were full of silver, they would not be enough to fill the ones he had taken out of the Inner Mansion before, but something was better than nothing.
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, no. ”
Chen Huang showed a look of disappointment on his face, and was about to get into the car, when Tang Ning's voice came from behind him again.
"Inside those boxes, there are silver tickets."
Chen Huang accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell off the car, but Tang Ning immediately stepped forward to support him.
The eunuchs serving around him were already frightened, and when they wanted to run forward to help, they were repulsed by Emperor Chen.
Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning, pursed his lips, and asked, "How much?" ”
Downing held out a finger.
A smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Chen's mouth and asked, "There are 10 million taels?" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the Squire of Runzhou, in order to support the treasury this time, the property donated is equivalent to 112 million taels of silver......
Emperor Chen looked at him and said unconvincedly, "How much?" ”
Tang Ning said: "Back to Your Majesty, the specific figure is 112,523,800 ......."
In fact, if you calculate carefully, there are still dozens of taels of fractions behind, but thinking that those Runzhou businessmen suffered an unwarranted disaster this time, it is not easy, Tang Ning generously helped them wipe the fraction.
Emperor Chen closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Don't make a noise about this matter, in addition, help me get into the car......"
……
110,000,000,000 taels of silver, even for a country, is an astronomical amount.
While Tang Ning confiscated the property of the wealthy businessmen in Runzhou, he actually had many opportunities to eat a large amount of kickbacks, even if he moved back 50 million taels for Chen Huang, he would be equally happy.
The reason he didn't do this was that he was not short of money, and silver was nothing more than a number to him, and when it was so big that it didn't mean anything.
This situation is also true in other areas.
Tang Fairy wanted to make her breasts bigger, because she didn't have it in the first place, so Su Mei and Li Tianlan wouldn't have the same idea as her......
Emperor Chen said that he had arranged a dust washing banquet for him, but he only took two chopsticks, and after a while, he left under the pretext of being unwell.
Tang Ning knew that he was going to count the silver tickets, a person who became rich overnight, it would take a long time to psychologically adapt to him having so much money at once, if Tang Ning's prediction was right, Chen Huang should do something that nouveau riche would do next.
After the feast, he left the palace and went straight to the door.
He originally thought that the treatment when he returned home this time would be the same as the last time he came back from Chu State, at least he would be subjected to a few glances from Xiaoyi and sleep in the study for a few nights.
But that's not the case.
When he went back, Su Mei was serving Xiaoru Xiaoyi and Tang Yaoyao tea as the fourth lady, although she was the oldest, but this kind of thing is not about age and qualifications.
When Su Mei was serving tea, Zhao Man stood next to her, looking at Tang Ning's eyes, and he couldn't bear to look at her with resentment.
This eerie calm and peace lasted until the evening, until he walked into Xiaoyi's room and almost didn't believe his eyes when he found that Xiaoru and Su Mei were there.
This night can't be described in words and words, Tang Ning thought that Su Mei persuaded Xiaoru and Xiaoyi, after all, she has this ability, and whether the backyard can be stable in the future depends on her.
But when he opened Xiaoru's door the next night, he found that Xiaoyi and Su Mei were also there.
This night, naturally, still can't be described.
When he pushed open Su Mei's door on the third night and found that Xiaoyi and Xiaoru were there, Tang Ning frowned and found that things were not simple.
The fourth day of Downing's return to Beijing.
That night, when Tang Xiaoyao yawned and was about to close the door to sleep, Tang Ning walked into the room one step ahead of her and closed the door.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll sleep here tonight." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I'll sleep here for the next few days......"
