Section 904 The King and the Minister?
readx;? In the study
Huang Fei flipped through the stacks of letters on the bookcase, which were all some information sent to him by the shadow after he left the imperial capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And these letters are only part of it, and under the bookcase, there are several thick stacks.
However, time has passed, and information that seemed important at the time seems to be useless now.
For example, there is also an analysis report that records the movements of the Orc Imperial army in the eastern provinces at that time, as well as the number and destination of the Imperial army rushing to support.
The dishes on the bookcase were already cold, but they didn't move, only the rustling sound of flipping through the letters, and Huang Fei frowning and thinking under the oil lamp.
Then. There was a soft sound of footsteps on the porch, from far and near, stopping at the door, followed by a knock on the door.
The sound is short, but powerful.
"Come in. ”
Huang Fei looked up and saw Butler Miro, who was wearing a brocade robe, pushing the door and walking in.
"Lord Huang. ”
Butler Miro came to the bookcase and stopped, with a respectful face, if there were outsiders in the room, he would feel extremely surprised that this Miro butler actually knew Huang Fei's true identity.
"What's the matter, Miro. ”
Huang Fei looked at the letters in his hand and greeted the Miro housekeeper, smiled, and put his eyes back on the letters in his hand.
Miro is a member of the Shadow Elite sent by Cullen at the beginning, ostensibly as the housekeeper of the manor, but in fact responsible for the liaison between Huang Fei and the Shadow Headquarters.
"Lord Cullen is still running errands elsewhere these days, and when he learned about your return, he said that he would come back as soon as possible. ”
Steward Miro said.
"Well," Huang Fei said as he flipped through the letters, "Tell him not to be in a hurry to come back, I don't have anything particularly important to do for the time being." ”
"Okay. ”
Steward Miro nodded, looked at Huang Fei for a while, and asked tentatively, "Lord Huang, you just came back, should I explain the matter over there to you first?"
"Oh, please. ”
"Lord Huang, the Huang Ji Score Shop in Stormwind City is in charge of the subordinates, from January to March this year, the income of the liquor shop is 2.6 million gold coins, the income of the mercenary hall is 420,000 gold coins, the income of the Holy Hand Medical Hall is 1.67 million gold coins, the income of grain is 750,000 gold coins, and other incomes such as ice glass manufacturing, adding up to a total of 7.5 million gold coins......"
"Seven and a half million gold coins...... So much?"
Huang Fei, who was still looking down at the letters, couldn't help but raise his head after hearing this number and asked, "Is it just the income of a branch in Stormwind City?"
Butler Miro smiled slightly, "It's just the income of this family." ”
"Lord Huang, do you know how much Huang Ji earns in the Delmar Empire in a year?"
"How much?"
"180,000,000,000 gold coins!"
"186.5 million gold coins to be exact......"
Seeing Huang Fei with a surprised face, Miro suddenly felt inexplicable joy, the guy in front of him, who was already rich and rivaled the country, didn't know how rich he was and how rich he was.
"Moreover, 180 million gold coins is only Huang Ji's income in the Delmar Empire, not including the Great Shang Empire and the Robben Empire. The Mongo Empire and the Western Shangluo Republic, the tax revenue of the Delmar Empire in 184 was 380 million gold coins, and this was because of the battles in the eastern region, the imperial capital increased taxes in some aspects, so my lord, even if you say that you are the richest person in the empire continent now, I'm afraid no one will have any disputes......"
"Uh, sir, you...... What's wrong?"
Miro was still talking, and suddenly saw Huang Fei's expression seemed to be something wrong, and walked carefully to the bookcase, and saw that he was holding a letter in a daze, and the paper in his hand was still trembling slightly......
The room was dead quiet.
"Yang Ki Xue?"
After a long time, Huang Fei suddenly asked.
"Yes, my lord, this has been a long time, in fact, he was gone by the time you left Stormwind. ”
Miro said cautiously that after Huang Fei went to the eastern region, because he had no fixed contact location, he basically lost contact with the shadows, so he didn't know a lot about the major things that had happened on the empire continent in the past two years.
"Who is the new Great Shang Emperor?" Huang Fei asked again.
"It's the third prince Yang Yi. ”
"Oh. ”
Huang Fei nodded, "Miro, you go down first." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Miro glanced at Huang Fei, took a few steps back and turned to leave, leaving Huang Fei alone in the room, looking through the letters in his hand repeatedly.
......
At the end of the 18th year of the empire, not long after the regency of the third prince Yang Yi, the emperor Yang Ji, who had been worried about the Great Shang Empire all his life, died of illness in the Shang capital and finished his life in his own dormitory.
At that time, in the imperial capital, the streets were full of white paper money, and strings of white flags were hung in front of the shops on the street, and the entire imperial capital was filled with a sad and solemn atmosphere.
When a cavalry team in white armor escorted Yang Ji's coffin through the street, both sides were already kneeling with people who had come to see him off, and the heart-wrenching mourning cries moved even the foreign envoys who came to mourn, and they could see from those grief-stricken expressions how much this Great Shang Emperor Yang Ji was loved in the Great Shang Empire.
As known as the most diligent emperor in the Imperial Continent, Yang Ji, ascended the throne in 146 and died of illness in 183 at the age of sixty-nine.
In his life, Yang Ji handled more than 470,000 pieces, an average of more than 12,000 pieces per year, worked until late at night almost every day, and did not sleep enough for 4 hours a day. Later, the new emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty, Yang Yi, selected a part of the excerpts he had reviewed and compiled into the "Book of the First Emperor", and put them in the study to spur himself, and the bound thread bound book was half a meter thick, including more than 8,000 pieces of folds, which was a true record of a generation of diligent kings who were diligent in government affairs.
In the thirty-nine years of Yang Ji's reign, through the Battle of Lennon, the Battle of the Songfeng Plain, the Battle of the Flame Fortress, the Battle of the Western Expedition to the Roben Empire, the Battle of the Western Shang Luo and other battles, the foundation of the Great Shang Empire was laid, and the rights of the families in various provinces were recovered through the crusade against the family war, and it was called the first empire among the five major empires of the Imperial Continent to truly realize centralized power, and therefore, the Great Shang Empire, which was originally the weakest among the five major empires of the Imperial Continent, became a powerful country second only to the Delmar Empire in terms of comprehensive national strength. The strength of the army is only ranked third behind the Meng Ge Empire, and at the same time, it has also cultivated famous generals such as Qin Baiyu, Li Xiangru, Mei Lin, Wo Taihe, Sichuan Bei Ming, Carrasco, and Kanping for the Great Shang Empire.
Among them, the most famous is Huang Fei, who is considered the most legendary by later generations.
Some people say that Yang Ji reused Huang Fei, but he was on guard against Huang Fei all the time, and it was this ambivalence that caused Huang Fei to be forced to leave the Great Shang Empire.
Some people also say that between Yang Ji and Huang Fei, they used to be monarchs and ministers, but there is a kind of friendship that transcends the previous monarchs and ministers, even the old marshal Li Xiangru, who has followed Yang Ji for ten years, did not dare to speak loudly in front of Yang Ji, but some people saw Huang Fei crossing Erlang's legs in front of Yang Ji, without scruples.
The historians' statement is more dependent on some historical records at the time, they believe that the result of all this, in the final analysis, lies in Huang Fei's status in the military circles of the Great Shang Empire, the original faction and the active faction are opposed to each other, which is a means for Emperor Yang Ji to balance the two sides, but Huang Fei unexpectedly has quite high popularity and prestige in the faction of the officers in service and the faction of the active officers, and the merits are high, which is intolerable to any king, and to be able to leave the Great Shang Empire alive is already Yang Jiren's duty.
But in any case, in the twenty years after 178, the comprehensive national strength of the Great Shang Empire grew rapidly, and it was known as the "Sanhe Prosperous Era", and everything that Yang Ji and Huang Fei did will forever be written in history.
No one ever knew that when Huang Fei, who was far away in the Delmar Empire, heard the news of Yang Ji's death, he stayed in the study all night.
