Chapter 130: Nine hundred thousand taels
Abdicate......
Zheng Kang muttered, although he didn't know how to learn, but he still heard of this widely circulated way of transferring power.
It seems that he should be the king of the dead country in the Zen position......
Zheng Kang sighed silently in his heart, it was very unpleasant, this was a dilemma, either to help Cangguo annex Zheng Guo, or to die at the hands of his brother, no matter which one was unacceptable.
"Your Highness, but have you made a decision?" Kong Shangxian asked.
Zheng Kang nodded dejectedly, took a step back, and bowed: "In this way, I will have to take care of Mr. in the future, and Kang's life and future will be handed over to Mr. in the future." ”
Kong Shangxian made a lifting gesture and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, I dare to guarantee that as long as the great cause is completed, my Dacang monarch and ministers will definitely not be embarrassed by His Highness...... Now, then, I will go back to meet Your Majesty and explain the situation. ”
"Sir is leaving now?" Zheng Kang was surprised and said, "Sir, why don't you stay for a few more days, there are still many nobles in this city, why don't you appease them?" ”
Kong Shangxian shook his head: "These nobles, don't worry about them for the time being, when you sent an envoy, Your Majesty didn't explain." ”
Zheng Kang frowned, he always felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that Kong Shangxian came with a letter of state, and he even dared to make a guarantee about him, the prince, it was natural to appease these nobles, why didn't he have the authority to arrange these nobles?
However, after all, he will have to rely on Kong Shangxian in the future, so he doesn't want to ask too much, so he can only watch Kong Shangxian leave the main hall.
Then, there was a cacophony outside, a commotion, as if something exciting had happened.
Obviously, it was Kong Shangxian who quarreled with the nobles waiting outside.
Worried about what an accident would happen, Zheng Kang hurriedly ran to the courtyard, and happened to see Kong Shangxian surrounded by all the nobles, entangled and beaten, and several guards who were sent with Kong Shangxian next to him were desperately opening up the nobles and squeezing into the middle.
"This ......"
Zheng Kang was simply stunned, is this still a group of nobles, what is the difference between it and the fight between civilians in the market?
"Stop!" Zheng Kang shouted and shouted: "Mr. Kong is a distinguished guest, how can you be so presumptuous!" ”
Hearing this, the nobles stopped one after another and got out of the way, but the expressions on their faces were still vicious and unconvinced.
Kong Shangxian dusted off his clothes and pretended to be disgusted: "You are so arrogant now, when my heavenly soldiers arrive, you must wait for life and not death!" ”
"You!"
"You dare!"
"How dare you insult me!"
"Angry old man!"
The nobles were furious, and they were stopped by Zheng Kang, helpless, and there was a feeling that they couldn't spit out a fish bone stuck in their throat.
Of course, some people felt that something was wrong and asked softly: "Dare to ask Your Highness, do we want to go back and organize our families?" ”
Zheng Kang shook his head: "This prince has decided to defend the city. ”
"Uh......"
In an instant, all the nobles felt as uncomfortable as eating, defending the city?
Isn't defending the city sitting and waiting to die?
Just look at Kong Shangxian's attitude towards everyone, once the city is breached, no one will survive!
Moreover, didn't you decide to lead the army to break through before?
It's only been a moment, and then you changed your mind?
Coincidentally, everyone turned their attention to Kong Shangxian......
Before, didn't he say that he would advise His Highness?
His Highness was persuaded by him?
Damn it!
Damn it!
A group of nobles wanted to breathe fire in their eyes, and suddenly a kind of sadness rose.
Even if everyone looks down on him again, what can they do?
Isn't his net worth and life still decided by this person?
Kong Shangxian, who was the focus, glanced around with disdain and walked out of the crowd.
Coincidentally, he accidentally touched the body of one of the nobles and dropped a letter.
Hey?
One of the nobles was quick-eyed, quickly grabbed the letter in his hand, looked down and saw that there was still a seal wax in his mouth.
And on the top of the envelope, there is a line of small words - worship, His Majesty the Emperor Dacang personally opened.
Emperor Cang?
Worship?
Could it be that the third prince wrote it to the emperor of Cangguo?
The nobleman was suddenly shocked, and his intuition told him that this letter was definitely not simple, and when he looked left and right, he found that everyone's eyes were focused on Kong Shangxian, so he breathed a sigh of relief, quietly put the letter into his sleeve, and then pretended not to know anything, and dispersed with the crowd.
……
At noon, a gap was opened in the gate of Kangcheng, and under the escort of a team of guards from the Prince's Mansion, Kong Shangxian and several entourages successfully arrived at the Cangjun camp.
Yang Mu and Wei Zhongquan, who were having lunch in the handsome tent, were immediately overjoyed when they heard the news, and hurriedly ordered someone to summon Wei Zhongquan to the handsome tent.
"Aiqing, you can be regarded as returning safely!" Yang Mu looked Kong Shangxian up and down, and sighed very much.
Kong Shangxian knelt down and bowed, and then said respectfully: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”
"Oh? But all the schemes succeeded? ”
"No last resort!"
"That letter ......"
"Just wait for His Majesty's order, Zheng Guo's court will be in chaos!"
"Good, good!"
Yang Mu laughed, Kong Shangxian's return made his heart finally fall to the ground, and it also made the implementation of the entire plan more confident.
For half a month, the old and suspicious formations finally relied on ambushes to achieve a big victory, all of which were paving the way for the next overall situation.
Now, it's finally time to do it!
In the afternoon of the same day, a marshal order was issued from the camp and reached the front of the battle.
Gu Fengnan was ordered and immediately shouted under the city.
The content is that the Cangjun army didn't want to kill more, so they decided to open the net and give all the nobles in Kangcheng a way to live, as long as they donate 10,000 taels of silver in one day, they can exchange for a place to leave the city safely, as long as they donate 100,000 taels, they can take 30 family members and evacuate Kangcheng.
Immediately, the nobles in the city were elated, as if the Jedi had survived.
10,000 taels of silver can buy a life, and 100,000 taels of silver can buy the life of the whole family, which is a bit expensive, but there is finally a way to live!
Anyway, this silver is handed over to Zheng Kang, and it is also handed over to Cangjun, as long as they can survive, who is not the same?
Aristocrats do not have any concept of national honor and disgrace, and what they are concerned about is always the interests of themselves and their families.
Because the time was too short, the nobles did not have time to sell their property, and no one wanted to buy it, so basically every family cleaned up the house, or opened the cellar, or opened the silver vault, or went to the treasure cave in the mountains, carried out boxes of silver and treasures, and exchanged places at the city gate.
Even the nobles had heard of the credit of the Cang army, so when the first batch of bold nobles left the city safely, the nobles behind them also put their minds at ease, lined up at the gate of the city, exchanged silver for places, and took their families out of the city.
Until the evening, the nobles in Cannes were almost gone, and the rest were some small landlords and the like, because the family really couldn't get so much silver, so they could only watch dumbfounded.
However, fortunately, they don't have much property, and they don't have any worries about their lives for the time being.
In the evening, when this large sum of silver was transported to the Cangjun camp, the monarchs and ministers were dumbfounded.
That's 700,000 taels!
If you add those scattered jewelry treasures, converted into silver, it is estimated that it can reach 900,000 taels!
You must know that now there are only 600,000 taels of silver in the treasury of Cangguo!
