Chapter 17: Go to the Pool

"You're doing a good job, but after all, your foundation is shallow."

The old emperor sighed and said:

"I should also help my son!"

After all, Emperor Daojun had been in the imperial universe for more than ten years, and now even if he is old and confused, he feels faintly wrong.

He got up from the futon, walked slowly to the imperial case in front of him, and opened a dark compartment.

"You act reasonably, do not respect the emperor's orders, and despise the imperial power, you will be killed!"

The old emperor whispered and handed Ye Xin a package covered in yellow brocade.

It is related to the continuation of imperial power, and everything else can be put aside.

The old emperor still had a sense of mission as an emperor.

"This is..."

Ye Xin uncovered the yellow brocade, and inside was a wooden box.

"Go to Zhaowugong's mansion and meet Zhou Yunhai. He has a daughter, who is said to be both talented and beautiful, and it is best to be your best match. ”

Ye Xin opened the wooden box and took out a golden token.

Crafted from pure gold, it is beautifully shaped.

Two lines of small letters are engraved on it: "Imperial Concession, Chop First and Play Later." ”

"You show Zhaowu Gong this token, and he will understand everything."

The old emperor said slowly:

"Zhaowu Gong Zhou Yunhai, is the founding general of my Dayong, the descendant of the Zhou family, I think that at the beginning, the ancestors of the Zhou family were the first in military exploits, and after Emperor Gao pacified the world, he was named Zhaowu Gong, hereditary replacement. In the past 400 years, the Zhou family has been loyal and has been a great help to my royal family. As for the rest,"

The old emperor listened to it and looked at Feng Bao, the eunuch next to him who didn't dare to come out:

"Just tell him to tell you."

"Erchen knows."

Ye Xin played with the golden token, the shape was simple, the carving was exquisite, and he promised:

"The child knows."

He didn't say he would go right away.

The old emperor was stunned, and then laughed:

"Okay, okay, up to you."

He turned his face to Feng Bao and the others, and his face sank:

"In this matter, if you leak a word, your heads will not be safe!"

"The minions obey."

Feng Bao and the others lowered their heads deeply, staring at their toes, not daring to make any extra movements.

Prime Minister Lin Fuguo covers the sky with only one hand in the imperial court, has many henchmen, and is incompatible with the prince.

The old emperor was also a little jealous.

After Emperor Daojun finished saying this important thing in his heart, he let out a long sigh of relief tiredly, waved his hand, and said:

"That's all for today, I'm tired."

"Son, retire."

Seeing that the emperor was sleepy, Ye Xin bowed down and finished his salute and withdrew from the hall.

Return to the East Palace.

There were no other people around, Ye Messenger gave a look, Feng Bao obediently came up, and reported:

"Your Royal Highness, the old slave heard from His Majesty in the past, this gold medal has some relationship with the Zhou family..."

It turned out that just over a hundred years ago, Emperor Dayong was seriously ill and passed on the throne to the crown prince.

At that time, many princes took advantage of the emperor's serious illness and inability to control the court situation, and vigorously competed for the throne, causing a lot of trouble.

The emperor held a breath and summoned the then Marquis of Zhaowu and gave him this gold medal.

With the gold medal, the Zhou family mastered the military power, and after the emperor returned to heaven, he assisted the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

"In this way, my father wants the Zhou family to assist Gu."

Ye Xin said suddenly.

Zhou Yunhai, a descendant of the Zhou family, must know these stories, and when he sees the gold medal, he can understand the old emperor's intentions.

Feng Bao was on the side, accompanied by a careful answer:

"Your Highness is right."

Ye Xin asked with a deep groan:

"Listening to what you said, the Zhou family has a great influence in our dynasty, why doesn't there seem to be any sound now?"

Lin Fuguo is the dominant family in the DPRK, while the Zhou family has no sense of existence at all.

"About nine years ago, Zhou Yunhai angered His Majesty and was deprived of the real power to be in charge of the army, leaving only the title of Duke Zhaowu. Over the years, he has lived in seclusion. ”

Feng Bao recalled:

However, the prince doesn't have to worry too much, the Zhou family has gone through more than 400 years, and the army is full of protΓ©gΓ©s and old generals promoted by his family. As long as Zhou Yunhai can stand up, the army will definitely support His Highness. ”

Ye Xin nodded knowingly.

The old emperor called himself the purpose of marrying the Zhou family, and that was it.

At this time.

Liu Fengyi asked to see him outside the palace.

"Recently, the property of corrupt officials and profiteers has been confiscated, and Weichen has received it, and the detailed list sorted out is for Your Highness to see."

Although Ye Xin had been mentally prepared, he was still startled when he took it and took a look.

"The scholar of the Middle Pole Temple, Wu Congzhi's family, copied out 3.7 million taels!"

"Of the three major grain merchants in the capital, the Chen family copied out 6 million taels, the Zhang family copied 5.3 million taels, and the Li family copied nearly 5 million taels."

In addition, it has not been counted in the shops, fields, etc. of these places.

Liu Fengyi was so excited that his white beard fluttered, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Your Highness, there are 20 million taels of silver just converted, and the relief silver for the great drought in Guanzhong is available, and the big trouble of the treasury deficit has also been solved."

Liu Fengyi was in charge of the money bag, everyone asked him for money, and he had no way to raise money, so he could only run into a wall in a hurry.

It's okay now, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"This is just a corrupt official, three profiteers, and he copied out 20 million taels, which is worth the net income of the Dayong Dynasty in previous years. It is conceivable that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and I don't know how many corrupt officials and profiteers are hiding in places that I haven't seen. ”

Ye Xin said hatefully, and turned his head to look at Liu Fengyi:

"Now that we have silver, Guanzhong's disaster relief is urgent. Liu Fengyi, you have to arrange this matter as soon as possible, and arrange it properly! Make no mistake! ”

"Wechen understands." Liu Fengyi immediately received the order.

Solving the problem of the boss, Ye Xin relaxed a lot and said:

"That's it, without further ado, you hurry up and get ready, let's all disperse."

"Obey."

"Your Highness Chitose, Chitose Chitose!"

In the sound of kneeling on the ground, Ye Xincheng walked out of the hall with his hands.

When he stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, his tense face stretched out and became relaxed.

It's time to enjoy a busy few days.

Through the pavilion and corridor, Ye Xin came to Huaqing Pond.

Inside a large hot spring pool.

The fog was shrouded.

Ye Xin sat in the spring water, stretching his arms and leaning against the edge of the pool.

A vague slender figure approached.

"Your Highness, the concubine is here."

When Lin Paner, who was ordered to come over, saw the scene clearly, she immediately felt extremely ashamed.

Ye Xin has a new idea.

"Aifei, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Pan'er's face was blushing, and she moved over step by step.

"Your Highness, go back to the dormitory and ...... Isn't it possible? ”

I finally got to the edge of the pool.

Lin Pan'er screamed, was successfully attacked by Ye Xin, and was pulled into the hot spring.

After soaking the clothes, the delicate concave curves immediately made Ye Xin's blood swell.

"Your Highness, you turn around, and the concubine beats your back..."

Lin Pan'er's face was about to drip blood, and said.

"Yes, but you have to start from the front. After all, I am reluctant to let my concubine out of Lone's sight. ”

Ye Xin's eyes were scorching, and he stared at Lin Pan'er who was at a loss.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Xin stretched out his hand to Lin Pan'er.
