Ji Jinsheng's jaw dropped almost when he was shocked by the sudden explosive news, he and Fang Bo had calculated the data obtained through various channels in advance, not counting the war reparations received by Xianguo in 634.

In the last 18 years, the total amount of gold and silver obtained by King Xian from the treasury was worth 6.6 million inches of silver, and the total amount of war indemnity received by the Xian Kingdom was 10 million inches of silver, not counting the profits obtained from the gold, silver, jewelry and the funds operated by King Xian privately.

This is almost 30 years ago Xianguo 300 years of financial surplus accumulation of precious metal wealth, Xianwang no matter how defeated he is, he can't spend it, not to mention all the clothing, food, housing and transportation of Xianwang, all the new commodities are specially purchased by Ouchi and Sinong Mansion, under the supervision of Bailiyan, there is no rebate in the middle, so there is no possibility of defrauding funds.

A while ago, the prince was busy handling the handover, and today he excitedly remembered to inspect the accounts of the inner government, but the inner government was empty, which made him very angry. In this regard, it is not only Ji Jinsheng and Xihuan and others, but also a number of cabinets, and the cabinet can still ask Bailiyan if there is something wrong with him, but Bailiyan wonders who to ask.

To say that the most desired is Jiao Muhua, he did not care about the affairs of the inner government for more than ten years, the inner government was taken care of by Jiang Hao, after he took over, the inner house was only a hundred thousand inches of silver, and King Xian also specified that he rewarded a group of palace maids and old eunuchs before his death, and gave tens of thousands of inches of silver to the palace concubines as savings and deposited in the money shop, and the rest is all.

Therefore, after Jiao Muhua took over, he thought that the inner government only had these, and he didn't know how much money he had before.

The emptiness of the inner mansion also made Jiang Yu very annoyed, and summoned Bai Liyan and Xuanting Hou Qiao Lian and Shi Qiao Cheng to question him. First of all, he inquired about the savings of the inner government in the money shop, and there were a total of gold and silver worth more than 130,000 inches of silver, more than 2 million new coins, and nothing else, any jewelry, jade, diamonds, cat's eye ivory, almost nothing.

The prince was not satisfied with the wealth of more than 3 million at all, and suspected that Bailiyan, Qiao Lian, and Qiao Cheng were lying, and immediately asked for a thorough investigation of the accounts of Sinong Mansion, Zhisu Neishi and Qianfang, but there was a contradiction when it came to who to check, and the prince did not have such talents. No, the crown prince has such a person, but he can't use it now.

So the matter was suppressed for the time being, but it was far from over.

After leaving the palace in the afternoon, Bai Liyan went to Qianfang to check the accounts overnight, and there was no problem after checking. But he also had another account that is very clear, and from 635 onwards, the treasury began to give the Xian king more than 100,000 inches of precious metals and no less than 300,000 new coins every year.

In the past seven or eight years, with the opening of trade with Jin Xuedi, the treasury has allocated an average of more than 500,000 inches of silver per year to the gold and silver precious metals allocated by the treasury to the Xianwang Inner Palace.

And the food and clothing of the king of Xian is basically the purchase and special supply of the inner government and the Sinong mansion, there is almost no additional expenses, even if the palace decoration and construction of the palace, it is also the money from the treasury, so the inner palace of the king of Xian has obtained a total of more than six million gold, silver and precious metals, which is only given by the treasury.

In addition, the Xian king also had pearls, precious stones, jade, silk fabrics, medicines, and spices to enter the palace, and these luxuries were eventually rewarded by concubines and nobles through the inner government, or sold for gold and silver, and the cash for rewarding officials and military attaches was provided from the state treasury.

In addition, the Xianwang Inner Mansion is also engaged in financial activities, and can also obtain benefits, and the Sancheng of the Lingshan Silver Mine also entered the Xianwang Inner Mansion by default, plus the war reparations that year, even if it was used for national construction, the Inner Government spent some, but at least there were more than half.

Therefore, the sum of the Xianwang Inner Mansion and the deposits, there are at least more than 14 million precious metals, more than 7 million new coins, jewelry, jade, silk, and luxury goods. The total wealth will not be less than 23 million.

Twenty-three million is an astronomical amount of wealth, most of which are precious metals, and at least more than one-third of the precious metals in the Central Plains are in the inner mansion of the Xian king, which is equivalent to the sum of the surplus of precious metals during the three hundred years of peace in the Xian Kingdom thirty years ago.

The accounts have been checked for two days in a row, Bai Liyan has no clue, but the storm has quietly arrived, the prince has met intensively with other foreign officials outside the cabinet in the hidden mansion, especially summoned the imperial doctor Li Xu, although I don't know what to talk about, but Bai Liyan knows very well that Li Xu will definitely take over this shocking case.

Chenling's every move touched the sensitive nerves of the forces of all parties, and the news that the inner government was empty spread quickly, and the reactions of all parties were mixed. To say that the strongest reaction is not the crown prince and the cabinet, it is the Jin faction headed by Xihuan.

When Fang Bo learned that the Xianwang Inner Mansion was empty and there was only a pitiful 50,000 inches of silver, he fainted and fainted with excitement on the spot, his eyes had already been fixed on the gold and silver mountains of the Xianwang Inner Mansion, and now he said that it was gone, which was no different from cutting off his life.

More than half of the fifteenth year of the first month of the first month of the country, the people have opened the ban, but the atmosphere in the inner court is still tense, the national government is basically in semi-paralysis, the prince sporadically reviewed the manuscript, but also withdrew all the military talismans except the forbidden army, and Sima of the city of Chenling is no exception.

During the first month, the news of the national funeral spread to the princes as quickly as possible, and the reactions of various countries varied greatly, and the happiest were the Son of Heaven and the Jin Kingdom, and as soon as the King of Xian died, it was finally time for them to show their strength.

Xianwang Daxing is scheduled to go out of the city through the north gate to the West Gate Railway Station on the first day of February. According to the order of King Xian before his death, after his death, the coffin will be transported by train to the foot of Miaotian Mountain through the Yongxing North Railway Bridge, and then transported to the mausoleum by horse-drawn carriage.

In order to record this historic moment, Bailiyan used the most advanced equipment at the moment, the "film camera", for this funeral.

The camera uses a small low-voltage coordinated stepper motor as the drive, a five-pound lead-acid battery as the energy source, a strong light for continuous exposure, and a built-in film tape half an hour long, which basically realizes the whole principle of camera technology, although it cannot record sound, but it is now extremely advanced technology.

Because it is still very primitive and the automation is low, the weight of the camera exceeds 30 pounds, and it needs to be carried on the shoulders of a strong man, and two people can be arranged to assist in the operation at the same time, or use a tripod to shoot on the ground.

On the day of the great line, the prince, Jiang Hong, Jiang Zhen, Jiang Can, Luhou and their cabinet Fu Ling, the huge portrait of King Xian walked in the forefront, and the coffin passed through the harem through the temple, and went out of the city from the north gate, all the way to the west railway station of the city. The hearse composed of a train of wagons and more than a dozen passenger cars slowly drove to Miaotian Mountain, and when it passed the Yongxing Hebei Railway Bridge, it caused everyone to be amazed.

Yongxing railway bridge started construction in September 650, completed in July this year, the experience accumulated in the early stage of Yongxing city railway bridge and the use of power equipment in the later stage, greatly accelerated the construction of the bridge, so it only took 19 months to complete the construction, it took two months to test, and it was opened to traffic in early October.

The coffin arrived at the railway station at the foot of Myaotian Mountain in the morning of the same day, was transported to the mausoleum by horse-drawn carriage for burial, arrived at the Xian Mausoleum that night, and arrived at the Mausoleum of King Inmu the next day.

According to the usual practice, the coffin of King Xian should be enshrined in the mourning hall of the Wangling Temple for three days, and it was not buried on that day. However, at the request of the prince, he entered the tomb from the Yongdao, called the inspection, which was actually to find the treasure of the Xianwang Inner Mansion. The prince was delusional that his father had brought all the gold and silver treasures into the tomb, but in the end he was disappointed.

Although the burial goods of the royal tomb were all handled by the inner government, from the main coffin at the bottom of the corridor, through the safety corridor all the way up to the second and first basement floors, only before the backfill of the corridor and sealing the earth, the safe passage will be removed, making it a dead door. So what the funeral goods are, they are all visible.

Because he didn't get the desired result, Jiang Yu was greatly disappointed, and the anger and anger in his heart were suppressed and there was nowhere to vent.

At this time, Baili Yan is also incomprehensible, he has searched all the clues, used the power of the royal guest, searched all the possibilities openly and secretly, and still can't find the whereabouts of this real money, is it really spent by King Xian?

And the most incredible thing is the accounts of the inner house, the accounts of the inner government are in charge of the governors of the past dynasties, but the account books are in the hands of the king of Xian, but the king of Xian until the moment of death, the national seal and the talisman were given to the prince, but there is no account of the inner house, which makes the accounts of the inner government impossible to check at all.

It seems that this wealth will eventually become a secret forever, like countless treasures drowned in the long river of history.

On the fourth day of the first month of February, the coffin of King Xian was officially buried, and finally the remains of King Xian were admired, the wooden coffin covered the coffin nailed, and King Xian lay quietly in the crystal coffin, like a sleeping child, never disturbed by anyone. Zhao Xun's mausoleum echoes in the east, and Bailiyan's tomb is also in the east, where they will gather here after a hundred years to guard the east gate of the empire for King Xian.

There are a total of 11 acupuncture points in the main underground tomb, which are placed respectively for the king and queen of Xian, and their other concubines who have been built in or have passed away, so the corridor at the bottom of the tomb will not be closed for the time being, and after all the concubines have passed away, the queen's coffin will be finally moved, and then the royal tomb will be closed and sealed high.

For this anti-theft digging, the whole mausoleum lays a large number of deadly traps, and there are two vault gates at the entrance of the corridor, and finally the lock cylinder is removed and sealed with iron and water welding before closing, and the air in the tomb is evacuated. Without large-scale professional tools, it simply can't be opened. If you want to rob this tomb, you have to use the army and a lot of explosives.

In the afternoon of the same day, the prince, the cabinet and others left the royal tomb one after another and went to Miaotian Mountain to worship the sky, and Bai Liyan and Gao Xungao continued to stay in the royal tomb to complete the aftermath work. At this moment, the two have tacitly agreed that the last moment is coming.

On the sixth day of the second month, the last inspection of the Taimiao ancestral hall, hanging the statue of King Xian, Bailiyan was ready to ride back to the Lingling, when he arrived at the south gate of the Wangling, Gao Xun was already waiting here, outside the city gate, a team of forbidden troops with loaded guns stopped under the doorway, Bailiyan knew that Gao Xun was going to do it.
