Chapter 358: Water Consumes Gold
The emperor swept to the inner library like a whirlwind.
Seeing the clouds on the emperor's face, the palace people in the inner library were silent one by one.
The inner library door opened, and the emperor went straight to the boxes containing pensions, kicked open the lid of the box violently, picked up a gold ingot, looked at it repeatedly, and his eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters, "This is obviously what gold looks like?" ”
How can it be fake?
"See what the hell this is?" The emperor threw the gold ingots in his hand to the officials who were standing on their bows.
This person is an official in charge of collecting taxes and silver, and the real or false gold and silver can be found with his eyes closed.
The official took the gold ingots and slapped them twice in his hand, then knelt on the ground with a puff, "Your Majesty, this is fake." ”
Sure enough, it's a fake!
The Emperor took a deep breath, "I ask you, what is this?" ”
"The minister has a guess in his heart, but it needs to be verified with water."
The emperor flicked his sleeves and said, "Bring two buckets of water." ”
The water was brought, and the official poured a bucket of water into the box full of gold ingots.
An astonishing scene appeared.
The water splashed on those gold ingots, stabbing sound, and the gas curled up, and the box full of gold ingots disappeared out of thin air.
Both the emperor and Anshun were dumbfounded.
Disappeared like that?
"What's going on?" The emperor asked.
"Teacher Chen once said that there is a kind of ore, the form is like gold, almost can be fake and true, called water to eliminate gold, but it melts when it encounters water, and burns when it encounters fire. I didn't expect the minister to actually see ......"
"Water and gold?" The emperor furrowed his eyebrows fiercely, "How can there be such an ore in the world, why haven't I heard of it?" ”
At this time, all the gold ingots in that box had turned into gas, leaving only an empty wooden box.
The Emperor angrily picked up a bucket of water and threw it into the second box, then the third...... The gold filled with gold ingots, shining with golden light, and dazzling people, all turned into light smoke and disappeared without a trace.
"Hahaha......" The emperor looked up and laughed, laughing and spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty~" An Shun quickly supported the crumbling emperor, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!" ”
The Emperor spat out another mouthful of blood.
All he saw in front of him now were the light smoke and empty wooden boxes, as well as Xie Xun's mocking smiling face.
The three foxes of the Xie family should have burst their bellies in private these days, right?
In vain, he was still complacent and won, it turned out that he was just giving people a joke!
Poof, the emperor spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes glazed, and he fainted......
Princess Pingnan's right eyelid has been beating non-stop for the past few days.
The pension robbery was too easy, her heart was not steady, and her right eyelid jumped, and she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep at night.
On this day, as soon as she had eaten a few bites of breakfast, Mr. Liu rushed in with a white face.
There is a difference between men and women, even if he is a staff member, Mr. Liu cannot trespass into the princess's boudoir.
Mr. Liu was so out of shape that Princess Pingnan jumped up inexplicably.
"But what's wrong with the pension?"
Mr. Liu's face turned pale, "Letter from Northern Xinjiang, Xie Sanye is wantonly issuing pensions to the dead and wounded!" ”
"Sure enough!" Princess Pingnan sat on the chair with her forehead propped up, and after a long while, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "I said, how can it be so easy, it turns out to be so ......"
However, it is not easy.
"Nine hundred elites, in exchange for a bunch of fakes!"
The emperor gave a death order, and she didn't dare to hide her secrets, and the elite spies of the Pingnan Royal Mansion in the north were almost exhausted. Without those people, she lost an arm in the capital.
However, even so, he still failed to complete the errand assigned by the emperor!
"Princess, what now? The Emperor will not let you go! ”
If the princess hadn't brought back the fake gold and relieved the emperor's guard, the Zhenguo Mansion would not have transported the pension to the north so easily.
The people in northern Xinjiang said in the letter that the other convoy transporting pensions was only a few dozen escorts......
In the palace.
Under the joint treatment of the five imperial doctors, the emperor has woken up and is conscious.
The imperial physician retreated, and the emperor lay on the dragon bed, put his hand on his forehead, and asked himself, "Anshun, you say, did Princess Pingnan join forces with Xie Xun to deceive me?" ”
With such an escort team, as long as he sent a hundred or so people casually, he could easily rob the pension.
He was dazzled by the damn water and gold, and he missed the opportunity.
Now the military and civilians in northern Xinjiang must be praising the benevolence and generosity of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Xie family, right?
Princess Pingnan deserves death!
The emperor took three deep breaths before suppressing the crazy idea of cutting off Princess Nan's head.
An Shun trembled, where did he dare to answer this question?
"Princess Pingnan shouldn't do such an irrational thing, right?"
In fact, the emperor also felt that Princess Pingnan would not help the Xie family to get him, and King Pingnan was his cousin...... But what if? Before, he had sent someone to catch the precious grandson born in the year and month of King Pingnan.
King Pingnan hated him because of this, and secretly took refuge in the Zhenguo Mansion......
"Anshun, the intended purpose: King Pingnan has done his best for the Yun Dynasty for decades, and I am very relieved. However, the king of Pingnan is too old to be in charge of the military affairs of southern Xinjiang, so he is now relieved of his post as general of Zhengnan and replaced by deputy general Yu Zhong, so that he can retire and raise his grandson in the fief with peace of mind. ”
An Shun raised his head in astonishment, and couldn't help but persuade, "Your Majesty, do you want to remove the military power of the King of the South?" King Pingnan is your only cousin~"
The Emperor just waved his hand, "Go ahead and do it." ”
An Shun got up, took two steps out and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Your Majesty, Yu Zhong's talent is limited, I'm afraid I can't suppress the people below......"
"You just do it, where is so much nonsense!" The Emperor shouted impatiently.
Anshun didn't dare to say anything more, and strode out of the dormitory.
The Emperor on the Dragon's Bed sighed lightly. How could he not know that Yu Zhong would not be able to suppress it?
He just wanted to see if his good cousin, King Pingnan, had any objections!
If he is still a good cousin in the past, and he is loyal to him, the emperor, he will inevitably hand over the three armies to Yu Zhong in accordance with the meaning of the holy decree, and then enter Beijing to ask for guilt.
They grew up together when they were young, and my cousin should be able to understand what he meant.
Or the power in his hands for decades has inflated the ambition of his good cousin, or he has hatred for him, which will inevitably prevent Yu Zhong from taking over the southern army, let alone dare to enter Beijing!
If that is the case, the southern army will inevitably be in chaos, and then he will have a justifiable excuse to punish the king of Pingnan.
He didn't want to do that either, and hoped that his cousin wouldn't let him down, otherwise he would really have a headache......
Princess Pingnan was nervous, thinking about how to make amends to the emperor, and received news that the emperor had decreed that he would remove King Pingnan from his post as the general of Zhengnan.
Five thunderbolts thundered, and Princess Pingnan almost fainted.
"The emperor wants to remove his father's military power! The emperor is really suspicious of his father! Father is involved in me! ”
"No, I have to go into the palace and make it clear to the emperor! I made the mistake, and if you want to kill or chop me, you will come at me, and my father's military power must not be lost! ”
Princess Pingnan hurriedly ordered someone to set up a car and rushed to the palace, but she was turned away and couldn't even enter the palace.
"Princess, the emperor said that your wedding is imminent, so you shouldn't walk around. Before the wedding, they are all preparing for marriage in the palace and embroidering wedding dresses. ”
"No, no! This father-in-law, please, help me tell the emperor that the mistake was made by me, and it has nothing to do with my father......"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the minion is just a doorkeeper, and it's useless for you to tell the minion about this!"
The little eunuch guarding the palace gate spread his hands, "Instead of entangled with the minions here, the princess should go to someone who can help, maybe there is a turnaround." ”
"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess, otherwise you can tell this son, this son is the most helpful~"
Xie Xun shook the jade bone fan and laughed very loudly......
