【185】Loot the Imperial Palace
In the military tent, Tong Guan was having a headache about uniting the Jin State to fight against the Liao State, so he had not eaten for two days, and now he had made up his mind that as long as Zhou Yi couldn't handle it, he would immediately send someone to invite Jin Bing.
Just when he was thinking about it, someone suddenly came in to say the good news from the front, he immediately dropped the work in his hand and came out, but saw a soldier holding a brocade box, and when he saw Tong Guan come out, he knelt on one knee, and then held the brocade box high, and said: "This is the jade seal and surrender of the Liao State, and please take a look at it." ”
"Surrendered? Liao surrendered? Tong Guan Yileng, in fact, he had long imagined this possibility, but after many failures, this seemed to be an unfulfilled wish, and now at first glance, he was stunned.
But this soldier will not joke about this, the jade seal is in front of him, he snatched the brocade box at once, opened it to see, it was really good, took out the surrender document and read it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, did you appear to save Da Song? Why is it so easy to get into your hands? ”
Subsequently, Tong Guan was amazed and asked someone to bring praise and encouragement to Zhou Yi, and then he couldn't wait to take this brocade box back to the capital!
By the time Zhou Yi got the news, Tong Guan and his entourage had already walked one or two hundred miles in the direction of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was nowhere to chase them.
I still remember when the soldier rushed to Zhou Yi to tell him the news, Zhou Yi's face was pale, this is an old disrespectful guy, isn't it fucking good to grab credit? Before, it was a bit of an attack to give Tong Guan a knot. Tong Guan can also show some benefits to himself. This time, I gave such a big gift directly. He didn't even let go of a fart, and personally took something to the capital to invite merit? This game doesn't come with that.
That's certainly not how the game is played. Just when Zhou Yi was thinking about how much benefit he could get now, someone outside asked to see him, although he was upset, but Zhou Yi thought that it could be that some prince of Liao Kingdom gave him benefits? It's okay to contact it like this, so I asked people to announce that person came in, but I didn't expect it to be a battlefield general in armor, and it was quite familiar, take a closer look. Isn't this the general next to Tong Guan?
"What are you ......" Zhou Yi had a hunch that it seemed that something was wrong, what was he doing here, robbed Lao Tzu's jade seal and the surrender letter, and you are still ready to come to the palace to get a piece of the pie......
The general said: "The official family urgently summons the prince to return to the country, and I and other soldiers are under the command of the prefect, so I have come." ”
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, and then suddenly remembered, no, what did he say just now, it seems that he missed something terrible.
"You talk about us, that is. All the people are coming? ”
"Yes, there are seventy-eight thousand nine hundred and twelve. It's all here. ”
The teacup in Zhou Yi's hand smashed directly on the ground and shattered: "This pit daddy, this is, play with me." ”
But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, Zhou Yi took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "Okay, I know, what should you do or why should you go, I will first conduct an investigation of this palace, and you will be stationed in Yanjing City to prevent others from coming to sneak attack." ”
Tens of thousands of people outside surrounded this palace, and Zhou Yi went in with a few of his closest subordinates, all of them are treasures, since they don't give me credit, then I only have to be self-reliant, and now this Liao palace is empty, and it is also a good choice to take some celebrity calligraphy, painting, gold, silver, jewelry, or something to enrich your inventory. The best is celebrity calligraphy and painting, the price is high, easy to transport away, and there are other delicate small things that can also be taken away, as for those big things, it is too eye-catching, if they are all moved, I don't know what people outside will think.
Although this Yanjing City is not as good as Kaifeng Mansion, but it is the capital of a country, it is naturally not shabby, after entering the moat is a large square, it is estimated that this is also a place to hold a court meeting, and then through a door is the inner courtyard of the palace. At this time, there was no one quietly inside, Zhou Yi could only take people to continue to walk inside, there was no one more clear about the value of antiques than Zhou Yi, and he was also a character who would not fall in every issue of "Treasure Hunting".
The first place they entered was the Taihe Palace, which is commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, which is the most majestic place in the entire palace, and the gold and precious tree species used in large quantities will definitely not be polite if they can be taken away. It's just a pity that he thinks about it like this, especially the dragon chair under the Zhengda Guangming plaque. When he was a child, Zhou Yi always thought that the thing and the screen behind it were made of pure gold, and thought to himself how much that thing cost, but later found out that it was not, that thing was made of wood and copper and then gilded.
But Zhou Yi will not let go of the treasure here, although the dragon chair can't be taken away, other porcelain, calligraphy and painting or something will never be let go, there is a blue and white roll cylinder next to the dragon case, Zhou Yi didn't even look at it, so he pointed to it and said: "Come two people, put it in the carriage, by the way, remember to drive the carriage to the gate of the Taihe Palace, don't let too many people see it, these are all tributes to the official family, if something happens to you, you will have to lose your head." ”
Although the Taihe Hall is said to be luxurious, most of them are things that can't be taken away, and Zhou Yi is not like those beasts of the Eight-Nation Alliance, he can't take away the things he smashes, he doesn't have this habit, so in fact, he is not interested in this Taihe Palace, and he thinks that the best treasures in it are those jade seals, but Zhou Yi knows that this thing can't be taken, and it is not his own to take it, so he asked people to pack it and prepare to send it to Zhao Ji.
There are few things that can be taken away from the front of the outer court, and a carriage has just been filled, which makes Zhou Yi very dissatisfied, but when he enters the harem next, Zhou Yi regains interest, and most of the treasures should still be in the harem.
He was right, the harem is definitely a place full of interest, even if the style is a little rough, but this does not prevent Zhou Yi from finding valuable good things in it, what jade, gems or something, these things do not take up space and are valuable, they are definitely the first choice for plunder.
Zhou Yi felt very puzzled that there was really no one in this palace, not to mention those concubines or something, those may have been transferred a long time ago, but even a palace maid was not seen, which made Zhou Yi puzzled, could it be that Empress Dowager Xiao had already dismissed them? This is too thorough, originally Zhou Yi wanted to choose a few beautiful ones to have fun with the people, but now his wish has been disappointed.
For two days in a row, Zhou Yi took people to walk through every place in this palace, and later he found that there were many places that he didn't need to go to, such as the imperial dining room, only a golden rolling pin was reasonable, and the others were really nothing. For example, the places where the eunuchs and palace ladies lived, I feel that they are not as good as the places where the people outside live. However, Zhou Yi still has a pair of things that find beauty, and since he is here, he will never return empty-handed, for example, the door panel is inlaid with a little gold, and he will cut it off first.
After Zhou Yi's disdainful efforts, finally, the loot filled ten carriages, and this was the result of Zhou Yi having people turn the yellow finance that was cut off from the door panel or somewhere into gold ingots.
After getting these things, of course Zhou Yi would not hide them privately, first of all, eight carts were used to pay tribute to the officials, and the remaining two carts were used by the officials in the imperial court. Guo Sheng was sent to do this matter, and among all his subordinates, he followed him for the longest time and the most reassuring. Zhou Yi wrote down the things that each official needed to send into a note for Guo Sheng to carry, and then Guo Sheng led 10,000 horses to escort these things all the way to the direction of the capital.
Zhou Yi naturally won't be able to get any benefits, so many precious calligraphy and paintings, plus other treasures, are at least worth millions of dollars, after all, it was a looted palace, if he didn't have this background, he would feel strange.
So far, Zhou Yi is still empty-handed, and he has not reaped any benefits. For this point, many people praise him for being loyal, honest or something, in short, the words to describe a good official are added to Zhou Yi's body.
Zhou Yi wanted to crack his mouth and laugh in his heart: "You ignorant humans. ”
His purpose was not these things, but money - . This is why he was so generous to send away all these things worth millions of yuan, you must know that in the past two days, Zhou Yi has been everywhere with people, but the only thing he has not been to is the treasury!
Although the years of war in Liao may have consumed a lot of money, the treasury will definitely not be empty, after all, the funds needed to maintain the operation of such a country are definitely not a small amount, and now Zhou Yi decided to accept all this money.
At the gate of the treasury, Zhou Yi and Lin Chong and a few other henchmen looked at the closed gate, and behind this gate, they didn't know how many things there were. Zhou Yi took a deep breath, then stepped forward to open the door.
His current mood is like waiting for the lottery after buying a lottery ticket, and the sense of anticipation is absolutely refreshing.
In the end, the treasury did not disappoint him, in it, boxes were piled up one by one, at least hundreds of boxes, Zhou Yi pried open one and saw that all of them were gold ingots. This couldn't help but make him gasp, if hundreds of boxes were gold ingots, I don't know how much it was worth. It's definitely much older than the calligraphy, painting, and porcelain outside combined.
He was so excited that his whole body was about to float, and these things were all his own. He couldn't wait to say to Lin Chong: "Go, you go and arrange the manpower, all if I am the people of the Zhending Mansion, transport all the things in this to me from the back door of the palace, don't leak the news, transport them to my house, and let everyone divide them up after I go back!" ”
"Yes." Lin Chong was equally excited.
Later, after counting, most of the gold here is still silver, and the gold is less than thirty percent, but this is enough for Zhou Yi to be excited, according to his estimates, there are at least thirteen million guan here!
"It seems that a Yelu family is a good hand at collecting money." (To be continued......)
