Chapter 470: A Change in the Courtiers
Shangguan Yun lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't dare to look at Dongfang Undefeated, and said slowly: "Back to the sect master, Chu Yi just sent a junior general back this time, and he is still in the land of Dongying!" ”
Taking a sip of wine, Dongfang Undefeated had a little drunkenness in his eyes, and chuckled: "It seems that this chief manager is not in a hurry to return to Beijing!" ”
Shangguan Yun opened his mouth and seemed to hesitate a little: "Since Chu Yi is not in the capital division, why don't the sect leader take the opportunity to go to the Forbidden City and kill the Son of Heaven......
The reason why the Sun Moon Cult has not been completely wiped out by the imperial court is because the Sun Moon Cult itself has its own way of self-preservation, and on the other hand, the imperial court did not deliberately destroy the Sun and Moon Cult.
Standing in Shangguan Yun's position, assassinating the Great Tomorrow Son was naturally a matter of course for the Sun Moon God Sect.
At the beginning, Dongfang Undefeated was invited to enter Beijing and fight with Chu Yi, if Chu Yi was defeated in that battle, Dongfang Undefeated would definitely not mind removing the Son of Heaven.
Now that Chu Yi is not among the Jingshi, in Shangguan Yun's opinion, this is naturally the best time to assassinate the Son of Heaven.
glanced at Shangguan Yun lightly, and suddenly saw Dongfang Undefeated flick his sleeves violently, and suddenly the sleeves struck Shangguan Yun's chest like lightning, and Shangguan Yun flew out on the spot.
Shangguan Yun fell in the courtyard, and the next moment a red shadow flashed, and he saw Dongfang Undefeated looking at Shangguan Yun condescendingly and said coldly: "Who instructed you to incite this sect leader to assassinate the Son of Heaven?" ”
Shangguan Yun's words obviously carried a bit of agitation, Dongfang Undefeated was able to become the master of the Sun and Moon God Sect, not only by his cultivation, but also by his wisdom and wisdom, so as soon as Shangguan Yun spoke, Dongfang Undefeated knew that someone secretly instructed Shangguan Yun to say that.
There was faint blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, Shangguan Yun wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and shook his head again and again with a little fear on his face: "Where does the sect leader say, his subordinates don't dare!" ”
Dongfang Undefeated just glanced at Shangguan Yun lightly, turned around and said: "No matter who the person behind you is, you go and tell the other party that I, Dongfang Undefeated, is not something they can calculate, otherwise, don't blame the sect leader for being unwelcome!" ”
Saying that, Dongfang Undefeated waved his sleeves and shouted at Shangguan Yun: "Get out!" ”
Under the undefeated power of the East, even if Shangguan Yun's cultivation is not bad, but in the face of the undefeated East, Shangguan Yun does not have the slightest idea of resistance.
Shangguan Yun ran out with a roll, and when he saw Dongfang Undefeated, he groaned and shouted: "Someone!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw several figures appear, standing respectfully in front of Dongfang Undefeated with their heads bowed, and they heard Dongfang Undefeated say in a deep voice: "Prepare a big boat for the sect master, and in three days, the sect master will go to sea to Dongying!" ”
As subordinates of the Sun and Moon God Sect, these people are naturally ready to use at any time, at this moment, Dongfang Undefeated actually asked them to prepare a big ship, just a big ship is naturally nothing, let alone say that it is one, even if it is several times more, compared to the huge power of the Sun and Moon God Sect, it is just a trivial matter.
What really shocked these high-ranking members of the Sun and Moon God Sect was that Dongfang Undefeated actually had the idea of crossing the ocean.
The Sun Moon Divine Sect's current momentum, in the final analysis, most of it depends on the prestige of Dongfang Undefeated, if there is any accident in Dongfang Undefeated, then their Sun Moon Divine Sect will definitely suffer heavy losses and even damage to their vitality.
An altar master of the Sun and Moon God Sect is Dongfang's undefeated henchman, and with a little melancholy, he said to Dongfang Undefeated: "There are many dangers on the ocean, please think twice!" ”
Dongfang Undefeated just waved his hand, and said without the slightest intention of changing his mind: "This sect leader has made up his mind, you don't need to persuade him anymore, go down and prepare." ”
Chu Yi, who was far away in Dongying, would never have imagined that because of his stay in Dongying, he would actually recruit Dongfang Undefeated to Dongying.
Forbidden city
One by one, the carriages slowly drove into the Forbidden City under the support of a team of Yu Linwei, led by the chief eunuch Gu Dayong.
It is conceivable that these carriages can enter the Forbidden City, obviously with the permission of the Son of Heaven, otherwise there are dozens of so many vehicles, and it is difficult for even one to enter them.
In addition to Yu Linwei and Gu Dayong, there is another person with Gu Dayong, who is none other than Yu Dayou.
What was loaded on these carriages was nothing else, it was the ten million taels of silver that Chu Yi sent Yu Dayou to escort back to the Son of Heaven Zhu Houzhao.
As for the four or five million taels of gold and silver, the household department had sent people to escort them to the treasury not long ago.
Dozens of carriages entered the Forbidden City at night, and the slightest disturbance in the Forbidden City itself would be watched.
Now dozens of carriages have entered the Forbidden City at once, which naturally alarmed many people.
These officials were naturally very curious about what it was, and they wanted dozens of carriages to be transported into the Forbidden City at night.
But except for a very few people, even the Yulin guards who were in charge of escorting those carriages didn't know that what they were escorting was actually tens of millions of taels of silver.
Only Gu Dayong and Yu Dayou are really clear, and the others don't know about it.
Entering the palace, the Yulin Guard, who was originally in charge of escorting, retreated, and it was the palace guards who replaced these Yulin Guards.
Dozens of palace guards carried down the gold and silver chests on top of the carriage, and then entered the royal vault one by one.
This royal vault is naturally the small treasury of the Son of Heaven, and there are a lot of gold and silver stored in this small treasury.
Although it is said that most of the silver obtained by Chu Yi from raiding his family and exterminating the clan has been sent to the treasury, even if it is leaked out of one-tenth or two, after a few times, the silver in this small treasury is probably no less than 20 million taels.
Although it is said that the Son of Heaven has taken out the silver from the small treasury several times to reward the soldiers of the three armies, compared to the tens of millions of taels of silver in the small treasury, the royal treasury can be said to have sufficient financial resources.
A stout soldier of the Forbidden Army carried the heavy boxes into the vault.
It took nearly an hour for the soldiers of the Forbidden Army to carry all the boxes on the carriage into the vault.
In the secret vault, Yu Dayou, Gu Dayong and several old eunuchs who are responsible for taking care of the secret vault, these old eunuchs are definitely the old qualified figures in the Ouchi court.
Being able to be selected to guard these gold and silver treasures for the Son of Heaven shows Zhu Houzhao's trust in these old eunuchs.
If it weren't for the great trust in these eunuchs, I'm afraid Zhu Houzhao would not have handed over such an important place as the royal vault to these people to take care of.
Just as Yu Dayou and Gu Dayong were counting the silver that had been transported in, they only heard a congratulatory voice from outside the secret vault.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Whether it was Yu Dayou or Gu Dayong, when they heard the movement outside, they straightened their clothes, and at the same time, a figure walked in wearing a brocade robe, who was not Zhu Houzhao.
"The last general, Yu Dayou, meet Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "General Yu doesn't have to be formal!" ”
Gu Dayong stepped forward and said, "Why is Your Majesty here?" ”
Zhu Houzhao's gaze swept over the treasures in the vault, and finally his eyes fell on the newly brought in boxes, these boxes were sealed with seals, and there were several boxes that had been opened at this time, and you could see the neat gold ingots placed in the boxes.
These gold ingots look so attractive, especially under the dancing candle flame, these gold and silver shimmer slightly, which is tempting.
With a light cough, Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, glanced at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Da'er, have you counted it clearly?" ”
Gu Dayong hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the inventory is underway, and the results will come out soon." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded lightly and said, "You go on, I will rest on the side and wait for the results of your count!" ”
Gu Dayong and Yu Dayou began to count the gold and silver again, and almost half an hour passed, and the two finally counted all the boxes.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao had already drunk a few cups of tea, and Gu Dayong said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the results are out, a total of nine and a half million taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of gold, a total of one thousand and one hundred thousand taels of silver!" ”
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, even if he had known it for a long time, but when it was really confirmed, Zhu Houzhao was still moved in his heart.
Even if Chu Yi is far away from the ocean, his work is still so heartwarming.
Whether these tens of millions of taels of silver are put in the treasury or in the royal treasury, it is a great fortune for the country, but staying in the royal treasury is obviously a great benefit to Zhu Houzhao, who has money and food in his hands, and everything is not panicked. Tens of millions of taels of silver, I don't know how many things can be done.
In the Imperial Study
After coming out of the royal vault, Zhu Houzhao summoned Yu Dayou in the imperial study.
Yu Dayou looked at the secret letter in his hand with a little amazement on his face, although he had long known how much the Son of Heaven Zhu Houzhao valued and trusted Chu Yi, but now that he saw Zhu Houzhao tell him again, he must hand over the secret letter to Chu Yi, and Yu Dayou's feelings can be imagined.
On this sunny day, the weather was fine, and as a group of soldiers blocked the city gate, the pedestrians who had been passing through were isolated, and then a group of people and horses poured out of the Forbidden City and gathered in an open area.
The 100,000 army, after more than half a year of training, the newly expanded 200,000 army already has a bit of military temperament, but they have not been on the battlefield and have seen blood, so these soldiers seem to be missing something.
In fact, as long as a general who has experience in leading troops, he can judge whether these soldiers are new soldiers or veterans as soon as they see them.
According to the meaning of Yang Yiqing and Zhu Houzhao, this time an additional 100,000 troops were sent to Dongying.
Although it is said that the men and horses under the so-called daimyo in the land of Dongying are not small, their combat effectiveness is not complimented at all, otherwise it would not be easy to be leveled by Chu Yi for more than a dozen countries.
Obviously, Chu Yi eliminated a lot of Dongying aliens, and also captured a lot of elites and sent them to the mines, but the occupied land had to be guarded by a part of the people.
Chu Yi himself flew across the sea, and the soldiers he brought were only 50,000, excluding those companions who died when they were not lucky enough to fight, Chu Yi still had nearly 50,000 soldiers under him.
The number of 50,000 does seem like a lot, but if you scatter the manpower casually, the result is that there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses available in Chu Yi's hands.
Tens of thousands of horses are actually not less, the key is not to defend it, once he takes the initiative to attack, Chu Yi is not worried about not being able to destroy those large and small states, the key is whether he can hold the place he occupies after destroying those large and small states.
It is said that there are many gold and silver deposits in Dongying, and Chu Yi has destroyed more than a dozen large and small states, except for some of the silver that was scavenged, the rest came from the mines.
More than a dozen large and small minerals have been deposited, and each mine must be guarded by hundreds or even thousands of soldiers, otherwise those thousands of slaves will not escape one by one.
Obviously, the imperial court sent 100,000 troops to Dongying this time, on the one hand, it could solve the problem of lack of people under Chu Yi, and on the other hand, it also showed that the attention of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces had shifted to Dongying.
If it is said that in the previous expedition to Dongying, there were not many officials who really paid attention to this point, but now it is very different, the millions of taels of silver are really beyond the expectations of many Wenchen generals, and the most important thing is that Chu Yi actually occupies so many gold and silver mines, which means that this is not a hammer deal, but a steady stream of gold and silver things that can be obtained from the mines.
Millions and tens of millions of taels of silver in a year are too tempting, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for a very few, can be said that most people have become excited from the initial opposition or cold eyes.
An army of 100,000 came from the outskirts of Beijing, plus some of the generals selected by the imperial court, more than 100,000 men and horses gathered in one place.
On the high platform, Zhu Houzhao condescendingly looked at the black and oppressive army, and he couldn't see the marginal army at all, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little excitement.
Yang Yiqing, Zhang Mao, Jiao Fang and several other important ministers stood beside Zhu Houzhao, only to hear Zhu Houzhao speak: "Soldiers, Dongying Japanese invaders invade my coastal land, rob my Ming maritime merchants, kill people like hemp, can be said to be a great disaster for my Ming Dynasty, the general manager Chu Yi raised 50,000 troops to kill Dongying, today I personally sent all the soldiers, I hope that you will go to the victory and return triumphantly, I hope that when you show your merit in the coming day, you can see you again in the court." ”
"Long live Your Majesty, Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
With a shout, all the soldiers were chanting, 100,000 soldiers and horses chanted in unison, the sound shook the sky, most of the capital could be heard clearly, I don't know how many people who didn't know were startled by this sudden shout.
