Chapter 140: Topaz's Choice (1)
"This..."
"How much did this kid loot when he pacified the vassal king?"
Guo Susu looked at the list of gifts handed to him by Qiu Yu and was moved.
The king of the world, who doesn't have the habit of collecting treasures?
Guo Tianyi led the army to the expedition this time, on the one hand, to pacify the vassal kings, reform the people's livelihood and politics, and on the other hand, he also reaped a lot of benefits.
After all, there are many places to spend money.
Guo Tianyi is not a saint either.
In fact, no matter which dynasty it is, it has always been like this.
will be outside, and naturally there will be some unknown benefits.
And these things are also acquiesced by the imperial court.
As long as it's not too excessive, and there are no political opponents attacking, it's generally fine.
What's more, Guo Tianyi is still the prince of Dafeng?
"Okay, you go back and tell Yi'er, I'll help you with this." Guo Susu did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Guo Tianyi's request.
Guo Susu is actually such a person.
I love money.
Otherwise, he would not have been moved by Guo Tianyi's bold words at the beginning.
People in this era have no superfluous entertainment, except for food, power, and wealth.
For Guo Tianyi's lavish gift, Guo Susu decided to disobey Empress Dowager Zhang's edict to help them.
"Then thank you, princess."
Qiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he could be regarded as having successfully completed the task.
I have to go back and report to His Royal Highness the King of Han.
After Qiu Yu leaves.
Guo Susu immediately began to move.
Money talks.
In order to let himself enter the palace smoothly, Guo Susu brought some money and prepared to give some benefits to the relatives of the Zhang family.
Really.
After dotting, Guo Susu successfully entered the palace.
Subsequently, Guo Susu, led by a palace maid, came to the cold palace where Concubine Rong was imprisoned.
As soon as he approached the cold palace, Guo Susu had a chilling feeling, and subconsciously shivered.
The Forbidden City of Dafeng was not established after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Rather, it was a royal palace built in the previous dynasty.
Because the scale was large enough, Emperor Fengjing directly ordered someone to renovate it and move in.
But this is also one of the reasons why Guo Susu feels chilled.
Originally, there were often dead people in the palace.
There are not a few people who have died in this cold palace.
Even if the sun is shining, there is still a biting chill.
Guo Susu, who was already superstitious, muttered in his heart, "I have to see Concubine Rong and leave this ghost place quickly..."
There is not only one cold palace.
Rather, it consists of many palaces.
Otherwise, if there is only one place, where is there enough to imprison those concubines who have angered His Majesty?
"The bright moon is in short flow, and the white flowers are white for a while..."
"The flowing water spreads to Xiangpu, and the sad wind passes through the Dongting..."
As soon as he arrived at the door, Guo Susu heard a woman's desolate singing.
Guo Susu could hear that this was Concubine Rong's voice.
There were two female doctors at the door.
When they saw Guo Susu, they immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, Guo Susu said lightly, "Open the door." ”
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
The female doctor opened the door, and within a few seconds of Guo Susu entering, she ran out, looking panicked and said, "Crazy, really crazy..."
Just now, she entered the cold palace where Concubine Rong was imprisoned.
But as soon as they met, Concubine Rong took a wooden board and said something like "Dog thief, take your life".
This scared Guo Susu a lot.
So, she turned around and ran.
Before leaving, Guo Susu did not forget to give the female doctor and palace maid who guarded the door some hush money.
The female doctors and palace maids naturally knew what to do, and happily sent Guo Susu off.
Next.
Guo Susu went to the Criminal Department again.
After the dots, Wang Zhenxi's treatment has also improved.
Of course, it is Concubine Shu's person who is in charge of Wang Zhen's evil case in the Criminal Department, even if it is a little better, it is not much better.
After the news was transmitted back to the barracks.
Guo Tianyi was heartbroken.
I can't wait to go to the capital immediately.
But he repeatedly told himself that he couldn't do that.
Otherwise, what awaits him will be a place of no return.
The other side.
River East Road.
Topaz Rebel Army Camp.
The news of the defeat of the Jin Dynasty's coalition army has arrived, and Huang Yu has been restless for the past few days.
There was a large-scale riot in the army, but fortunately, there were a few tiger generals under his command who suppressed these things.
Moreover, the coalition forces were defeated, and Topaz also knew that his situation was precarious.
It would be good if King Jin could return to Jingzhou Mansion.
He was afraid that King Jin would not be able to go back, and he would become embattled.
When Yuwen Yuanzhen finishes cleaning up the south, he will come east to clean him up.
Most of the troops he gathered were funded by local gentry.
It's okay to deal with some regular local troops.
If it is against the elite of the imperial court, it will not be enough.
Moreover, these landlords and gentlemen were originally moved by their incorruptible tongues, and they were also grass on the wall.
At the beginning, seeing that the Jin Dynasty alliance was strong, and the imperial court showed signs that the general trend had gone, they all contributed money and food to organize the righteous army.
In order to wait for the Jin King coalition to win a great victory, he will get a reward.
However, now that the news of the defeat of the Jin King coalition army has come, these wall grasses have made a different sound.
Naturally, they wanted to surrender.
When surrendering, the imperial court generally kills the leaders of the rebel army, but does not kill them.
The first to die was Topaz and his superiors.
So there were several waves of commotion in the troops.
Just now, a few local scholars in the army took the lead in making trouble.
Recently, there have been more and more people making trouble.
Kill and dare not kill.
If the leaders of these local gentry are killed, the rest of the gentry of the gentry will definitely be separated from themselves.
In that case, it will be difficult to recover.
"Tell me later, how should we reorganize the army now?" Topaz felt a little pain in his head, and looked at several generals beside him.
These generals were all members of the personal guard who followed him at the beginning.
Among them, Liang Rui is the most outstanding.
was born and died for him several times, and also made Huang Yu regard Liang Rui as a confidant.
And Liang Rui is also quite prestigious in the army, can he be a scholar in leading troops to charge?
"Lord, the only way we can do it now is to make peace with them..."
"Lord, aren't these local gentry afraid that we will fail, let's retreat to Bohai Mansion, and with our geographical advantages, we can wait for reinforcements to arrive..."
"My lord...."
Several generals spoke out one after another, but none of them spoke to Topaz's heart.
In Russia, Liang Rui said loudly, "Lord, in my opinion, these soldiers and officers are all crazy, it is better for the lord to lift the ban and allow them to burn and loot after attacking the city, so that the morale of the army will definitely be greatly boosted." ”
As he spoke, Liang Rui had already put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
His Royal Highness the King of Han ordered him to test Topaz.
If Topaz eats lard and is willing to do such a thing, then kill him.
At the beginning, Huang Yu issued strict military orders, that is, it was forbidden for anyone to take any form of forcible seizure, forcible seizure of people's daughters, and many other disciplinary regulations.
This is also one of the reasons why the army can win the hearts of the people and grow rapidly.
But now that morale in the army is low and the voices of resistance and surrender are getting stronger, lifting the ban will naturally bring about a surprise effect.
These are just one of the instructions given by Guo Tianyi.
And Liang Rui did it unconditionally.
"No, never." After hearing Liang Rui's suggestion, Huang Yu immediately vetoed it, "No matter what, even if the army is defeated and dies, I Huang Yu will not do such a miserable thing." ”
