Chapter Eighty-Nine: Money
The location of the imperial mausoleum of the Xia Dynasty, Yang Zhen decided not to study it anymore, not to mention that it is related to the final glory of Xie Fei and other tomb keepers, and it is also the resting place of the abbot and Zhishen's ancestors. Yang Zhen couldn't dig their ancestral graves for the sake www.biquge.info of some funeral goods. What's more, after Yang Zhen has done several things, he has accumulated a lot of good and evil points, which is useless, and at that time, he will draw at will, and wealth will be at his fingertips.
However, he still asked Xie Fei in detail about the details of the imperial tomb, including whether the imperial tomb would be stolen and destroyed after the tomb keepers withdrew, and whether the tomb guards would violate their duties after all the tomb guards were withdrawn.
Xie Fei was extremely confident in the safety of the imperial tomb, and the Dao was the crystallization of the wisdom and ability of the Xia Dynasty for thousands of years, and it was far from being accessible to a small tomb robber. Even they are only in the outer realm, and the forbidden places such as the coffin of the first emperor have never stepped in.
As for their tomb guarding duties in the past dynasties, Xie Fei said: "Now that the dynasty has changed, although the Xia Dynasty has disappeared, it is still the worry of eating the monarch and sharing the monarch; Ordered by the king and loyal to the king, Xie's ancestors still guarded the tomb for the king of the Xia Dynasty for thousands of years, and he didn't dare to have any disloyal and unrighteous thoughts! If it weren't for the abbot, who is a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, who took the jade seal fragment to see us and asked me to come to assist the governor, we would have passed on this honor from generation to generation until the clan was wiped out, and there was no one more tomb keeper. ”
After Yang Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe of Xie Fei and his ancestors. He nodded, and said solemnly to Xie Fei: "You can rest assured, the abbot will guide you to me, I will naturally not disappoint him and your expectations, the above promises, I will do what I say." The story of your ancestors' loyalty will never be lost in the world. I want the whole world to know what a true loyal minister is and what a true gentleman is. I want the whole world to know that a loyal man will get everything he deserves. ”
Looking at Xie Fei who knelt on the ground to thank him, Yang Zhen was carefully chewing on the word loyalty, do I Yang Zhen also have loyalty? If so, to whom? Is it the king of Xingwu, the princess, or himself, or the morality and the people who are often on his lips? Yang Zhen himself didn't know.
He shook his head self-deprecatingly, and could only comfort himself that loyalty was nothing more than a beautiful shackle that the superior put on the ruled people, and this shackle tightened more and more until it was deeply embedded in the fragile neck.
Yang Zhen called someone to deal with the wound on Xie Fei's body, and sent someone to serve him to bathe and change clothes. After Xie Fei washed, the whole person was also much more energetic, getting rid of blood and dust, and his skin had an unhealthy whiteness, which was caused by living in the dark environment of the imperial tomb all year round and lacking sunlight.
But these are harmless, Yang Zhen pointed to the wine and food in front of him, and motioned for him to come and eat some, the two had a fierce fight, which consumed a lot of physical strength. Xie Fei was not polite and took a big gulp. The fatty roast suckling pig melted into his mouth as soon as he entered his mouth, Xie Fei couldn't care about talking anymore, but he rarely had the opportunity to eat such a delicacy in the years he had been guarding the tomb.
Yang Zhen took a small loin and chewed it in his mouth, looking at Xie Fei, who was swept away, smiled and nodded. It wasn't until Xie Fei had a rough idea that the two started discussing again.
After Xie Fei finished eating, he prepared to return directly to the imperial tomb to pick up his brother and the other tomb guards, waiting for everything to be arranged, plus the expenses on the road. It is expected that it will take more than half a month to turn back.
These days, Yang Zhen can afford to wait, these days, all kinds of news have been transmitted to the bureau, everything is under control, and there is no tricky thing that lacks manpower.
Yang Zhen watched Tang Sai'er's big play at night, and fought with Xie Fei again, he was a little tired, and now that there is nothing to do, he also went to rest for a while.
When he opened his eyes again, it was a little dark again, but Yang Zhen had long been accustomed to the busyness of every night, and he even felt that such a dark night belonged to him.
Yang Zhen took advantage of the night to find Chen Susu first, and after the affairs of the Weaving Bureau were on the right track, Chen Susu had already returned to the palace. It is said that Chen Susu is now in the palace and will not be favored by King Xingwu, and it seems a little embarrassing to be a female official here.
But if you really think so, you are very wrong. Chen Susu was in the palace, and the wind and water were mixed, from the queen and concubine to the little eunuch and palace maid, all of whom accepted her benefits.
After all, who doesn't like a generous, righteous and righteous Ning Guiyi?
The nephew of the queen mother galloped outside the palace and killed someone, and was settled by Chen Susu before the news reached the palace. The family of the deceased did not know how much money they had received and how many threats they had received, but they heard that on the second day, they came to the door with a plaque of "Urgent Justice and Good Righteousness", saying that they were grateful to him for seeing the unevenness of the road and sending the deceased who died in an accident home.
Lu Rengui, an old eunuch with a low status, has worked in the palace all his life and mixed up with a retired pension, and the money he saved is only enough to redeem the words that have been sealed for decades, when he was holding a jar at the gate of the imperial city and looking around, but two descendants carried a small sedan chair to pick him up, saying that Ning Guiyi had already arranged a place for him to live, and they were also rescued little beggars.
This meticulous, even pervasive charcoal in the snow, if someone still says that Ning Guiyi is not good, I am afraid that he is really a bastard with no conscience. said that Ning Guiyi was ill-intentioned and bought people's hearts, and she didn't see her coercion to repay her? Besides, Ning Guiyi herself said that it is a great favor for you, but for this palace, isn't it just spending money?
Speaking of harem concubines, although there are monthly money and rewards, and daily items are provided by the court, there is no place to spend money. But all the concubines, which one doesn't want to add a few more pieces of jewelry? Add a few more gorgeous palace clothes? In addition, the rewards of subordinates on weekdays, and the gifts that should be purchased for social exchanges cost a lot of money.
But from the reign of Xing Taizu, he issued an edict: "All the concubines have everything, all of them are given by the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and all the concubines are also given by the emperor, that is, all the queens are owned by me." Each observs the rules and uses sparingly. You are not allowed to transfer everything in the palace to your own family, and you are not allowed to send anything in your house inward. ”
This edict has been used to this day, meaning that all the property of the concubines is given by the emperor, and it is forbidden to pass it on internally and externally. Although the concubines also secretly asked for the family's funding, they were sneaky and could not have too much private contact.
Today, there is a generous Chen Susu in the palace, today he sent an agate string crystal single claw earring, and tomorrow he sent a gold-inlaid gemstone hollow floral pattern octagonal jewelry box, no matter how sweet the cry sister, who would not dare to respond?
