Chapter 310: Dig the Golden Pit
"Your Majesty has a decree to grant Huang Shulang, the Governor of the Nine Gates, to stay in the Nine Gates' Admiral's Mansion in three days." Father-in-law Su took the two little eunuchs to the post house where Huang Shulang lived.
Huang Shulang, who was kneeling on the ground, was very happy when he heard it. You must know that the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion is much more magnificent than his Great General's Mansion in Yanzhou. In the past, when I came to visit Prime Minister Guo Deshuang, I passed by here.
At that time, he still thought, when will he be able to enter such a tall mansion? When he mentioned this matter in front of Guo Deshuang, he was also scolded by Guo Deshuang, so that he could raise troops in Yanzhou with peace of mind.
Sooner or later, when the Guo family rules the world, not to mention the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, even the best mansions will be there.
But, God people. There was no unification in Guo's world, and Guo Deshuang died before his ambition was paid. And he, because of Guo Deshuang's death, was a blessing in disguise, and was promoted to the important position of Admiral of Jiumen, and he had to live in this coveted place.
It's so cool!
But the holy decree that Huang Shulang received was not handwritten, but directly dictated by Gonggong Su. This is the form of an oracle. After Huang Shulang thanked him, he didn't get up immediately.
"Lord Huang, why are you still not up after you have received the order?" Father-in-law Su was a little puzzled.
"Father-in-law, Your Majesty the Emperor, did you say anything else?" Huang Shulang was a little reluctant. What's more, this let me move in, and I haven't paid a little settling-in fee yet. Staying in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, there is no need to spend money to settle it.
Although he is the commander of the Nine Gates, in this Daluo, he is also a prominent position, but he can't grab it. I can't go to someone's store, report the name of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, take it and leave!
"Lord Admiral, what do you want Your Majesty to say?" Father-in-law Su immediately guessed. It's asking for money. But His Majesty didn't give money, and gave such a big palace, you should be grateful.
It's really disgusting to even ask for it. If it weren't for the king's protection of you, I'm afraid that when you arrived in Daluo, the holy decree would not be to give you a mansion, but to kill your head.
But it doesn't matter, you're going to have to be killed sooner or later. Lord Wang also had no choice but to let His Majesty bear the name.
"Uh...... Since His Majesty didn't say it, then forget it. Never mind. Huang Shulang spoke to himself, got up and sent off Grandpa Su.
Father-in-law Su went back to tell His Majesty all this.
Sima Hong smiled dumbly.
Yes, Li Yufeng's performance is okay. But this Huang Shulang is insatiable. He had the money to recruit troops in Yanzhou, thinking that I didn't know. I even want to let me get the money for the construction of the Nine Gates' Admiral's Mansion.
Well, since he is dead, I will help him.
"Spread my word, give Huang Shulang a thousand taels of gold! Arrange the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion! ”
Sima Hong once again asked Gonggong Su to pass on the message.
Gonggong Su was immediately stunned. Your Majesty, your Majesty's hand is also a little bigger.
"Your Majesty......" Father-in-law Su wanted to speak and stopped. As a close old minion, His Majesty has made mistakes, and he should point them out. However, as a eunuch, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the court. The matter of this decree is the government.
He just runs his legs, and how His Majesty makes the order is His Majesty's business. But he really couldn't look past it, so he wanted to stop talking.
"You want me to retract my will, this reward is a bit too much, and it will cause the displeasure of the ministers, right?" Sima Hong turned his face and said to Gonggong Su with a smile.
"The minions don't dare...... But ......" Father-in-law Su rolled his eyes with a pair of thief eyes, wondering what to say.
"What else do you dare to dare, your mouth is open, you can say whatever you want. Do you think any of the ministers dare to be dissatisfied with me? Sima Hong restrained his smile.
"Probably not."
"Then who do you think the dissatisfaction of the ministers will be targeted?" Sima Hong inspired.
"Nine...... for sure Your Majesty Shengming. The old slave went to deliver the decree. ”
Father-in-law Su thought to himself, if he really accompanies you, he is like a tiger. This Sima Hong, on the surface, rewarded Huang Shulang, the commander of the Nine Gates, with a lot of gold, and the ministers must have opinions, but no one dared to jump to his feet and say no to His Majesty.
But they can pick the bones in the eggs and watch the every move of the Admiral of the Nine Gates. As long as he makes a slight mistake, he can refer to one or many of them, and then link all these with the fact that he is preparing to raise troops as a general in Yanzhou.
It is said that the proud army will be defeated. Now let me see if a person who has gained so many benefits without credit will lose.
Father-in-law Su went to Huang Shulang's decree this time, humming a little song. So much so that Huang Shulang was surprised.
The first time I heard my father-in-law humming a little song, it was really a special taste in my heart.
When he learned that this time, it was Emperor Sima Hong who rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold as the cost of placing the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, Huang Shulang was overjoyed, grabbed the gold in the box, and stuffed it into Gonggong Su's pocket.
Father-in-law Su tried every means to shirk it, but he couldn't shirk it, so he had to do it. The two eunuchs who followed the errand also accepted it. The two little eunuchs are both gold leaves. And Gonggong Su is three taels of gold.
On the way back, Father-in-law Su said to the two little eunuchs: "You can accept the golden leaf, and you are not allowed to tell anyone." If you say, it's the sin of losing your head. ”
When the two little eunuchs heard this, they were almost frightened. I thought I would get some extra income by running errands, but I didn't expect it to be at the risk of making a U-turn, which is terrible.
The two of them are submissive.
Father-in-law Su returned to the Qinzheng Hall and handed over to His Majesty. At the same time, he respectfully put the three taels of gold that Huang Shulang stuffed him on the dragon case, and said to His Majesty: "This is what Lord Huang stuffed to the old slave, and the old slave thinks that it is better to hand over this gold to Your Majesty." ”
"Lord Huang gave it to you, you can take it. He must have thought that you were asking for money for him. How did he know that it was the money that cost him his life. Take it. As expected, the two little eunuchs also received the benefits. Right? Sima Hong didn't look at Father-in-law Su either, and continued to flip through the folds.
"Yes. When the old slave saw that the two little eunuchs were working hard, he asked them to accept it, but asked them not to reveal their tone to the outside world, so as not to spoil His Majesty's affairs. "Father-in-law Su was respectful.
"And you still give it to me? These are human nature. As long as you don't carry me behind my back to do those evil things that deceive the king. You can use this money as tea money. It's been a long time since I've rewarded you. Sima Hong said slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Su took another three taels of gold, and happily retreated outside to wait.
Before leaving, Wang Ziyu also asked Sima Hong something. That is the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, Ye Pu's soldiers stationed in Guo Deshuang's house, have they withdrawn. Sima Hong shook his head.
Wang Ziyu explained Guo Ziyu's performance and what he promised Guo Ziyu to His Majesty.
"Are you sure Guo Ziyu won't be opposed? You must know that Guo Ziyu still has a certain appeal in the entire Guo family. ”
"Your Majesty, do you want to be the Emperor of Benevolence and Righteousness? Or do you want to be a god-killing emperor? Wang Ziyu asked.
"What's the difference?"
"The former, the people love you. Even your enemies will be influenced to support you. But the latter, others are just afraid of you. When the time comes, they will not hesitate to overthrow you. ”
"Don't beat around the bush with me. Pardon all the members of Guo Deshuang's family, and Guo Deyu's responsibility will no longer be pursued. However, you have to look out for them for me. After all, you will have to stay for many years in the future. You can see if it's good or bad, and if you need my will, just say it. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Not long after Wang Ziyu left the Qinzheng Palace, the soldiers surrounded by Guo Deshuang's mansion withdrew.
Wang Ziyu went to go in person, and Guo Ziyu knelt down to greet him.
