Chapter 643: Tomb Robbery
Looking at the fluttering of a bright armor, Xiao Chen touched his chin with his hand and said, "Turn in circles,"
The goddess raised her arms very cooperatively, and turned in a circle in front of him, she was wearing a dark brown leather armor, all parts were cut just right, on the shoulders, waist, front and back and below the elbows, embellished with metal components with animal face patterns, the craftsmanship was extremely exquisite,
"Perfect, Piao Piao, you are so beautiful no matter what you wear," the little marquis said sincerely, and then said: "Wear so beautifully, are we going out?"
The goddess smiled sweetly: "Of course you want to go out, why don't you want to go out to breathe,"
"With beautiful women by your side, don't say it to go out to breathe, even if it's a sea of swords and fire, my brother is very willing," he stood up with a smile and said,
Piao Piao will only show her true face when she is in front of him, and when the two walked out of the camp, she quietly put on a mask,
Before leaving the camp, she first took him to a square camp tent, which was very large from the outside, with three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, and the guards were of high standard.
"Wow, so many treasures, how many local tyrants have you beaten," the little marquis looked at the mountains of gold and silver treasures and said, he was a person who had seen the world, but he was still startled by the scene in front of him,
The thirteen states of Great Chu, these states in the north are barren, and there is no comparison with the states in the south, but after only a few battles, they have collected such a huge amount of wealth, no wonder some people often say that when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold.
Piao Piao glanced at him, and snorted: "What are you fighting local tyrants, do you think the army of this seat is a bandit, besides, the poor jingle of the northern states, how can there be so many local tyrants who can fight,"
The little marquis was stunned: "Then where did these treasures come from, the world fell down,"
"Nonsense, can treasure fall from the sky, it is dug in the ground," the goddess said seriously,
"Uh, okay," the little marquis spread his hands: "Then you tell me where you dug it, and I'll dig a few hoes too,"
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Piao Piao said: "It's really dug in the ground, but not from ordinary ground, but from the imperial tomb,"
The little marquis's eyes widened: "Imperial Mausoleum, isn't that a tomb robbery?"
The goddess immediately gave him another look: "What kind of tomb robbery, don't say it so ugly, it's okay, the dozens of imperial tombs of the previous dynasty are just within our occupied area, and the right Xian King suggested digging up the imperial tombs and taking out the treasures inside for military expenses, I thought it was a very good idea, so I agreed,"
The little marquis smiled bitterly, this is tomb robbery, but after thinking about it, the previous dynasty has been destroyed for more than 60 years, and the imperial tomb is already an ownerless thing, dig it, it's not a big deal,
Moreover, he also dug a lot of treasure troves in underwater palaces and dungeons, which can be regarded as tomb robbery strictly speaking.
After feeling relieved, he began to roughly calculate the amount of treasures, and said: "No, dozens of imperial tombs, just dig up such a little thing, the emperor of the previous dynasty is too poor,"
"What dozens, just dug one," Piao Piao explained: "The area of the imperial tomb is very large, and it is full of all kinds of mechanisms and hidden weapons, do you think it is easy to dig up these treasures, and dozens of soldiers have died for this?"
The little marquis frowned, and said, "There are so many digs in one place, if you dig up the rest, it is estimated that it will be several times more than the income of the Great Chu Dynasty in ten years,"
"I've let people calculate, all the treasures in the imperial tomb add up, which is equivalent to the total income of Da Chu for one hundred and twenty years," Piao Piao said with an indifferent expression,
sister's, one hundred and twenty years of total income,
The little marquis was not lightly shocked, but it is normal to think about it carefully, every emperor will order to build a luxurious mausoleum for himself at the same time, so that he can continue to be an emperor in the underworld after death, and a large part of the annual treasury income is used to repair the mausoleum, and it will last for decades, and the cost is very huge.
The gold and silver treasures in the imperial tomb are only part of the construction cost, and the infrastructure is much larger than this part.
Piao Piao stretched out his hand and lifted a wooden box, took out a bracelet from it, and said: "This is dug up from the tomb of the second emperor of the previous dynasty, it should be the emperor's beloved thing, the internal storage space is no less than your bracelet, I specially left it for you,"
The little marquis was not polite to her, took the bracelet and began to drip blood to recognize the owner, and threw all the dozens of storage rings he carried with him.
In the future, there will be no need to wear dozens of rings to fill the local tyrant, the little marquis is in a good mood, and he asked again: "Piao Piao, you don't want to take me to dig the grave, right?"
The goddess nodded first, and then immediately shook her head: "No, there is a very strange phenomenon, King Youxian They searched all over the imperial mausoleum area, but they couldn't find the mausoleum of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, they also searched through the historical materials related to the previous dynasty, and they also didn't find a single word related to the mausoleum of the founding emperor,"
He frowned: "No, dozens of descendants of later generations have built the mausoleum here, and as the founding emperor, there is no reason for him to be buried elsewhere,"
"That is to say," Piao Piao continued to analyze: "King Youxian, they think that the Founding Emperor's Mausoleum of the previous dynasty must also be here, but it is just hidden deeply,"
The little marquis smiled and said, "I understand, you want me to find the hidden imperial tomb together, right?"
"Hee-hee, that's it," Piao Piao nodded like a chicken pecking rice,
In front of the cultists, she is the high-ranking Holy Sect Master, always with a cold and inviolable expression, only when facing Xiao Chen, she will show her truest side,
......
Great Chu Emperor - Capital, Imperial Palace,
After more than 20 years as an emperor, Li Dingbang felt that he had failed for the first time.
First of all, the Blood Shadow Hall incident was exposed, you must know that this is the organization founded by his father's reign, and it has just been passed into his hands, and he thought that he could continue to play a big role, but he never thought that it would be found out so quickly, and then made public.
Immediately afterwards, the Pantheistic Cult invaded the north after hundreds of years, causing the three northern states to basically break away from the control of the empire.
Then, it was his own brother King Qin who rebelled and made the empire's taxes restless.
finally mobilized the major sects, and at the cost of opening up high-ranking officials, he finally caught Xiao Chen, but he didn't even see his face, and the people ran away again.
The frustration accumulated again and again, making him feel overwhelmed,
And there was another thing on his desk, which made him angry and had the urge to vomit blood, the Pantheon army dug up the tombs of the emperors of the previous dynasties, and took out countless gold and silver treasures to serve as military expenses.
Li Dingbang is worrying about military spending these days, the taxes in the south were intercepted by the King of Qin and put into his own pocket, and the money in the treasury will soon bottom out.
If the military pay is cut off, will those who serve as soldiers still fight for themselves?
