Nan Zhijin, who is known for his rigor in the officialdom, "accidentally" broke the priceless crystal bottle, and Long Yan was furious, and he was detained in the Tired Hou Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Nan Zhijin has a longer history in the scholar, but after all, his position is not high, and his experience has not caused a particularly big response, even if there is a discussion, everyone is more interested in the crystal bottle than in people.

It is said that the crystal bottle is the founding ancestor of the southern expedition to the north, the spoils of war from Chen Qi, he loved it very much during his lifetime, and often took it to appreciate, before he died, he wanted to bring it into the mausoleum, but at the last moment he changed his mind, and left a special will, asking future generations to keep it well, not to make it dusty......

This kind of story cannot be recorded in the history of the country, and no one can tell whether it is true or false, but the narrator swears that the listener is itchy and sighs, regretting that he has lost the opportunity to appreciate the treasure, as if he has not been able to appreciate the crystal bottle just because he has no time.

At the end of the discussion, everyone mentioned the unlucky Zhongshu scholar, and unanimously agreed that he deserved it and would never come out again.

Zhongshu Province was panicked because of this, and more than a dozen officials such as Zhongshu Jian and Zhongshu Ling rushed to the Tihou Mansion at noon the next day to ask for guilt, and finally got the emperor's forgiveness and exempted them from the crime of negligence in employing people.

Han Ruzi didn't say a few words from beginning to end, and he waved his hand to the eunuchs as if he hadn't heard them, and asked the eunuchs to drive the officials out of Zhongshu Province.

Zhongshu Province still has normal duties to perform, and the other officials are gone, Zhongshu Ling stays at the gate, and tries his best to finally invite someone who is closer to the emperor.

Chao Whale is no longer the fishing village boy of the year, he is familiar with how to deal with officials, especially big officials, he walked out with his hands behind his back, stood on the steps and looked left and right, and said in a long voice: "Who is looking for me?" Why isn't there even a ghost? ”

Zhongshu Ling stood at the foot of the steps, and he was also a four-rank official, qualified to enter the Tongxuan Hall to participate in a large-scale court meeting, and when necessary, he could even make a discussion in the Qinzheng Palace, but now he nodded and laughed like a relative from other provinces who came to ask the nobles to do something.

"Here, General Chao, I'm here."

In contrast, Chao Whale's position is much lower, just an ordinary soldier in the camp who doesn't even have a grade, but is called a "general".

"Oh, it turned out to be you." Chao Whale greeted him with a smile, and a little bow was polite.

Zhongshuling wanted to invite General Chao to dinner, but was refused, and wanted to find another secluded place to talk, but was also refused, and finally had to pull General Chao aside, away from the gate, first praised it, and the book that he had read for decades came in handy at this time, although Chao Whale didn't understand more than half of it, but grinned, extremely useful.

Zhongshuling finally asked, why did the emperor care so much about the crystal bottle that he detained a Zhongshu member and did not allow the division to participate?

"Haven't you heard about the origin of the crystal bottle?" Chao Whale asked in surprise.

Zhongshuling heard about it, but he didn't believe a word, "I heard it, but I think it's just a plaything after all......"

"Plaything? Ha, it's no wonder that you can't save big officials and are not welcomed. The whale shook its head.

Zhongshuling was startled and hurriedly said, "Could it be that there is something else in the crystal bottle?" ”

This time, it was Chao Whale who pulled Zhongshuling to the side and walked out more than a dozen steps, far enough away from the gate, there was no one left and right, and he didn't know what he was hiding, and then whispered: "Rumors - where do I mean when I say 'Fang', do you understand?" ”

"In the palace?"

"Shhhh

Zhongshuling's face changed slightly, "Yes, yes, there are rumors in the market, General Chao continued." ”

"Rumor has it that the crystal bottle hides a testament from Taizu, when the Great Chu was first built, it was not stable enough, Taizu was worried that future generations would have no money to use, so he hollowed out a mountain and stuffed it with gold and silver treasures, and the edict was related to this. Your Majesty is not short of money now, the bandits want money, as soon as the autumn comes, many businessmen come to ask for debts, and they need money even more, so Your Majesty is interested in the edict, and specially invited the crystal bottle from the palace, and as a result, it was broken by your people. ”

Zhongshuling smiled bitterly, the emperor is rich in the world, where he is must be the safest place, there is no need to find another place to hide treasures, digging mountains requires at least tens of thousands of people for ten years of work, it is impossible to hide people's eyes and ears, as for the so-called edict, it is nonsense, without the custody and verification of relevant ministries and departments, even if it is really Taizu's handwritten letter, it cannot become an edict.

Ordinary people may believe in this kind of thing, and the Zhongshu Province deals with such things as chapters, holy decrees, and edicts every day, how can they be deceived? But he couldn't say that he didn't believe it, so he had to say, "The bottle is broken, has the edict been found?" ”

"Did I say the edict is in the bottle?"

Zhongshuling nodded.

"No, no, you must have heard it wrong, I said that the clue to the edict is in the bottle, and it is drawn on the inside of the bottle, and now it is broken, and it can't be pieced together, and the clue is broken at once, and there are countless treasures, and I will never see it again."

Chao Whale spread his hands and expressed regret.

"I see." Zhongshu Ling could only show that he suddenly realized, glanced at the gate in the distance, and said in a low voice, "The edict is false, it may not be true, General Chao is a close person around His Majesty, and his words have the most weight, can you ask for a favor for Nanzhijin?" ”

Chao Whale then walked out of the middle book order for a while, "A little Chinese scholar is worth so much attention from adults?" ”

"Nan Zhijin has served in Zhongshu Province for the longest time, is familiar with various rules, and is very respected by the Zhongshu Supervisor, and often asks him for advice, so he ......"

Chao Whale thought for a while, "It's not impossible to help, but I don't know you very well......"

Zhongshuling had already prepared and said with a smile: "Master Han of Zong Zhengqing, who was transferred from Luoyang, is very familiar with me. ”

"Han Chou?"

"Yes, yes, I heard from Lord Han that General Chao has insomnia and needs to use the golden kettle to decoction medicine, I wonder if I have enough recently?"

This time, it was Chao Whale's turn to be stunned, "Huh? Ah, the Golden Cauldron...... It's the Golden Cauldron, right? Yes, it does, it's a cure for insomnia -- it's lacking, it's too lacking. ”

Zhongshuling smiled tacitly, "Tonight, please General Chao take a little gift." ”

"What are you doing with gifts? It's my blessing that adults are willing to make friends with me, it's enough to invite me to drink, let's use ordinary cups and bowls, not gold, that thing is too small, but it's too heavy to hold, it doesn't fit in your hand, haha. ”

Zhongshu Ling laughed back and said goodbye, feeling a lot more relaxed.

Chao Whale walked towards the mansion, opened his arms, and compared the size of the golden cauldron, at first it was just a small medicine jar, constantly expanding, and finally became as big as Ding, he made a gesture twice, shook his head, and felt that he couldn't hold it no matter what, so he suddenly opened his mouth and took a bite, smirking all the way into the mansion.

The soldiers of the Su Guard guarding the door glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to laugh.

"I've come up with a clever idea!" Chao Whale broke into the study and said excitedly and loudly.

The emperor was discussing the suppression of bandits with several noble attendants, and when he heard the voice, he looked at the door, and Chao Whale stuck out his tongue and hurriedly bowed down, but he had been guarding the door, anxious to see the emperor.

Finally, the noble attendants all left, nodding to him whether they recognized Chao Whale or not.

Chao Whale asked the eunuch to report on his behalf this time, and only after getting permission did he enter the study, "Your Majesty, I have come up with a clever plan that can be used to pay off your majesty's debts!" ”

Han Ruzi smiled: "It's really rare, let's hear it." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't owe a lot of debts, I heard that some businessmen have recently come to Beijing to ask for debts, right?"

"Well, there are some."

The emperor took all the IOUs for the world's exiles, and at the same time he also had evidence of many businessmen bribing officials, planning to kill chickens and monkeys when necessary, but many of the IOUs were normal loans, and the Shaofu had to pay them back, and now most of the merchants who came to ask for the accounts were these merchants.

Qiao Wanfu, an official of the Shaofu, reminded the emperor that the merchants were mercenary, and it was precisely those merchants who broke the law who held the most IOUs, and they were waiting and watching, and sooner or later they would rush to the top, and they would bewitch a large number of legitimate people to ask for debts together, so that the court law would not be held accountable, and the emperor must prepare early.

Either way, the emperor needed a lot of gold and silver to make up for the shortfall.

Chao Whale stepped forward and said: "The people are poor, even the emperor is poor, and the money is in the hands of the officials. Then he must have a bigger golden pot in his hand, and as for the officials with higher status, he must have a golden ship, a golden house, and a golden palace, right? Your Majesty is miserable, there is only one Jin Guifei, who has not been brought back yet. ”

"Nonsense." Han Ruzi reprimanded, and couldn't help laughing, "Your clever plan is to let the minister pay off my debts?" ”

"That's right, anyway, they have money, if they catch a middle scholar, they will send a golden pot, and if they catch a hundred or so more, won't they have all the money to repay their debts?"

Han Ruzi shook his head with a smile and asked, "Zhongshu Ling bribed you to ask you to intercede for Nan Zhijin, right?" ”

"That's right, I was ordered to take bribes, and His Majesty was busy when I went out, so I didn't have time to tell Your Majesty, and I can explain it clearly afterwards."

"Well, you've done a good job."

"And what about my plan?"

"Your clever plan ......" Han Ruzi just wanted to laugh at it, but suddenly changed his mind and thought carefully for a while, of course he couldn't do such a thing as "kidnapping" the minister for ransom, and it was impossible to let the minister help pay off the debt, it was equivalent to breaking with the imperial court, and the emperor would not even be able to enjoy the benefits of rules and conventions in the future, and the gains outweighed the losses.

But the whale's idea was not entirely without merit.

"Let me think about it." Repaying debts is not a top priority, and the purpose of Han Ruzi's detention of Nan Zhijin is to find Zhao Ruosu.

Han Ruzi didn't specifically choose Nan Zhijin, in fact, he didn't have any impression of this person or this name, but this person came to send the chapter, so even if he was unlucky.

Zhongshuling's nervousness and generosity made Han Ruzi's heart move, and he began to feel that this Nan Zhijin was afraid that it was not so simple.

"After getting the 'Golden Cauldron', send it here, so that I can also have a long experience."

Chao Whale said helplessly: "There are no outsiders, Your Majesty will not play tricks on me: which of the bribes I received by order did not fall into the hands of Your Majesty in the end?" ”

Han Ruzi laughed, "This time is different, maybe I can leave this 'golden cauldron' to you." ”

"Really?" The whale jumped to its feet with joy.
