Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 572 You want to add more money, right?

soon.

A group of Baekje officials walked in one after another.

After seeing Su Chen, these officials, one by one, saluted Su Chen as if they had rehearsed it.

"Meet the Tang Dynasty's King of the Same Rank."

"No gift."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, his eyes passing over these officials, and said: "Now that Fu Yuzhang is dead, you gentlemen did not escape immediately, but came to me instead. This is really strange."

Faced with Su Chen's ridicule, many officials couldn't help but show a little embarrassment.

But compared to the embarrassment of the situation, life is the most important thing.

Liu Baidao, the leader, was the first to speak: "Your Highness, you are joking. Even if we escape from Fengshan City, the world is so big, where is the place for us to stay?"

Not to mention that Baekje has completely fallen into Su Chen's hands. Even if it hadn't, as long as the Tang Dynasty completely controlled Baekje, they would have nowhere to hide.

It can be said that as long as they escape, they will have no chance.

Unless the Tang Dynasty has never thought of killing them, otherwise, there is no place for them in the world.

Instead of waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope.

Su Chen smiled and knocked on the table, "Then what is the purpose of you gentlemen coming to my place?"

"Don't be ridiculous, my Lord. What kind of adults are we?"

Liu Baidao smiled bitterly, turned around and looked at the officials who came with him and said, "We came here together because we hope to contribute to the Tang Dynasty and are willing to listen to the Tang Dynasty's edict."

Oh?
Su Chen couldn't help but reveal a strange look on his face.

Kodo and others couldn't help but laugh. Although it was a bit inappropriate at this time, they couldn't help it.

A group of people from an enemy country actually wanted to sacrifice themselves for the Tang Dynasty.

If they had not captured Fengshan City, would these people have come to meet him so willingly?

I'm afraid they've already been drinking to celebrate.

"You also want to contribute to the Tang Dynasty?"

"nature."

"But why did I hear that the people who attacked Kodo's camp before were the people you each raised?"

Su Chen's smile faded, and he looked even more murderous. "Have you ever thought about explaining this matter to me first?"

Facing Su Chen's questioning, Liu Baidao smiled bitterly, "Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

"As Baekje's subjects, we are extremely reluctant to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty, but we are at the mercy of others. Buyeo Zhang has disregarded etiquette and put a knife on our necks, so we have no choice but to obey."

"Your Highness may not believe it, but you may as well check it out, because several officials were killed by Fu Yuzhang in this matter!"

"We were forced to do what Fu Yuzhang asked us to do. As for becoming an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, we never thought about it."

"If we were of the same mind as Fu Yu Zhang and were determined to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, why would we immediately bring the people in the mansion to fight against Fu Yu Zhang and assist the prince in attacking the city when we learned that the prince was attacking the city?"

Su Chen pretended to be surprised and tilted his head to ask, "Is there such a thing?"

Hu Kefu smiled and nodded, "Your Highness, when we attacked the East Gate, we did hear bursts of fighting coming from the city, and it seemed that they were trying to drive Fu Yuzhang off the throne."

"Later, I personally sent people to investigate and finally confirmed that these people were indeed the people in front of me."

After receiving Hu Kefu's affirmation, Liu Baidao and others couldn't help but hold their heads high.

Did you hear that?
We are not really enemies with you, the Tang Dynasty.

We did this because we were forced by Fu Yu Zhang. We had no other choice.

"That's it."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "It is I who have misunderstood you all."

"But, you are all subjects of Baekje after all, but now you want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty..."

Su Chen pondered and said no more.

Liu Baidao and others understood that Su Chen wanted them to show their loyalty.

Only if there is enough benefit can Su Chen take the initiative to let them go and save their family.

"Your Majesty, we know this matter will embarrass you, and we have already made many preparations."

Liu Baidao took the initiative to step forward, took out an envelope and handed it to Su Chen, "This is our sincerity, please take a look, Your Majesty."

Get on the road!

Seeing Liu Baidao offering things so proactively, Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly. He liked people who were so considerate.

As for whether we can let them go, that depends on whether what they give can buy their lives.

Su Chen opened the envelope with a smile. Inside were the land deeds, real estate, and some property transfer agreements.

Just one glance and Su Chen frowned unconsciously, and threw the envelope in his hand on the table with a cold face.

See this.

Liu Baidao and others felt a sudden shock in their hearts.

Looking at Su Chen's expression, it seemed that he was not satisfied with the gifts they gave.

Su Chen said calmly: "Everyone, is this all your sincerity?"

Liu Baidao asked cautiously: "What does the prince mean?"

Su Chen had a cold expression on his face: "This king has no intention."

"But you guys are quite interesting. Write down the things that belong to me and then give them to me?"

"I don't know whether to call you stupid or confused!"

What belongs to you?

Liu Baidao and others widened their eyes instantly. Those were all their own properties, so how come they became yours now?

However, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Facing Su Chen's cold scolding, although they were unhappy, they did not dare to show it.

"You don't agree?"

As if he could see the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, Su Chen said coldly: "Now Fengshan City is already owned by this king. All the industries in the city will naturally belong to this king. Is there anything difficult to understand?"

Everyone: "..."

Su Chen continued: "As for the land deeds and real estate you brought out, in my eyes, they are just pieces of waste paper!"

"Come here, see the guests off!"

Several soldiers walked in from outside.

Liu Baidao said hurriedly, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty."

Su Chen looked up and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Liu Baidao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has misunderstood. We are just giving these things to you to make it easier for you to coordinate."

"???"

The people behind Liu Baidao couldn't help but look a little more shocked when they looked at Liu Baidao.

With just one sentence, you gave all our property to Su Chen? ?

And it doesn’t even please Su Chen?
"Give it to me, so that it will be easier to coordinate?"

Su Chen looked at Liu Baidao with interest and said, "Tell me in detail."

Liu Bai said: "Baekje now belongs to the Tang Dynasty. It was conquered by the prince himself, so he must be responsible for the people of Baekje."

"However, poor people don't have enough land to produce and work, so we thought of giving these land deeds to the prince so that he can arrange the ownership of the land."

Su Chen smiled and said, "What else?"

Liu Bai said: "In addition, we have prepared some small gifts for the prince and the generals. Please accept them."

As he spoke, Liu Baidao turned around and looked at his companions behind him and winked at them.

Everyone immediately understood.

If one plan fails, start the second plan.

Soon, one soldier after another carried in fifty boxes. Just by looking at the expressions of these soldiers, you can tell that these fifty boxes must be filled to the brim, otherwise they wouldn't be so strenuous!
"Thank you for opening it."

Snapped.

When the boxes were opened, each one was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

The first few boxes contained neatly stacked gold ingots, the dozen or so boxes at the back contained silver, and as for the boxes at the back, they were all filled with various valuable jewelry and antiques.

After seeing the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, Su Chen finally had a satisfied smile on his face.

Kodo and others were stunned by the gold, silver and jewelry in front of them.

The things in these boxes are probably worth millions!

Hukov swallowed and asked, "Are these things given to us?"

"nature."

Liu Baidao smiled and said, "As long as the prince and the generals are kind enough to spare us."

Hu Kefu was about to speak when he turned his gaze to Su Chen as if he had thought of something.

Although he was particularly excited after seeing these gold, silver and jewelry, he was also very clear that these things were not for him at all.

Su Chen knocked on the table, but his tone was extremely stern: "Are you trying to bribe this king?"

"...?"

Liu Baidao and others were all stunned.

Bribe you?

No.

Isn't this something that everyone knows?
Why did Su Chen react so strongly?
"Your Majesty misunderstood."

Liu Baidao smiled and shook his head, saying: "This is not a bribe to the prince, but a small token of your appreciation to reward the prince and the generals."

"Oh……"

Su Chen nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is. I thought you were going to bribe me with these gold, silver and jewels in exchange for your lives and property!"

"If that's not the case, then I'll take all these things!"

Liu Baidao breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry being carried away, Su Chen looked at Liu Baidao and others with a smile, and said again: "You are all loyal and good people. This king is deeply gratified."

"If His Majesty knew that you are so concerned, he would definitely be very pleased."

Ha ha!

Faced with Su Chen's flattery, Liu Baidao and others sneered in their hearts.

He is not happy at all!
What does it have to do with us?

Firstly, they couldn't see it, and secondly, they had no interest in it.

Now I just want to get out of here.

"As long as the prince and the generals are satisfied, then I'll take my leave."

"Wait a minute!"

Li Jingheng stood up suddenly, "Your Highness, these people are ministers of Baekje. No one knows whether they are sincere in joining our dynasty, so we cannot let them leave easily!"

"???"

Liu Baidao and others were stunned.

Su Chen has collected all the things, but you stand up at this time?

Su Chen frowned and said unhappily: "Jing Heng, what are you doing?"

"They are wholeheartedly trying to reward us. We should accept their sincerity."

"But they all deserve to die!"

Li Jingheng had a murderous look on his face, "Your Majesty, those gold, silver and jewelry are their life-saving money!"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "You heard wrong, it's not their money to buy their lives!"

"Right?"

Seeing that Su Chen had noticed it, Liu Baidao and the others nodded repeatedly, "No, no."

Li Jingheng said again: "Since it is not their life-saving money, then we should kill them!"

Liu Baidao and others: “???”

You are so unreasonable!
If you want to buy someone’s life, you have to kill them. If you don’t want to buy someone’s life, you have

"Jing Heng!"

Su Chen said somewhat displeasedly, "Why bother being so aggressive?"

Li Jingheng said with a serious face: "They are all ministers of Baekje, but they can own more gold, silver and jewelry than the king of Baekje. It can be seen how much they have embezzled."

"Now, I just took out a part of it to deceive the prince, and I want to exchange it for a chance to survive. How can it be so easy?"

"Only part of it?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

Liu Baidao and others hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty, this is all our property."

"Your Majesty, all our family's property is here."

"Who are you and why do you want to persecute us so much?!"

Facing the angry Ren, Li Chongyi coughed, pointed at Li Jingheng and said, "His sister has a close relationship with the prince."

Ah this...

Liu Baidao and others fell silent.

No wonder when Su Chen opened his mouth, he, a mere lieutenant, dared to jump out and play the good guy.

This is related.

Li Jingheng: "Even if my sister didn't have this relationship, I would never allow you to do this!"

"Jing Heng."

Su Chen sighed and said soothingly: "They are all loyal and good people, how can you bully them like this?"

"If this gets out, how will our Tang Dynasty survive here?"

"How about this."

Su Chen looked at Liu Baidao and the others and said, "Please prepare another gift and I will present it to His Majesty. Once His Majesty knows your sincerity, he will definitely forgive you."

"In this case, he has nothing to say."

"???"

Another gift?
You will present it to the Emperor of Tang?
You want to add money, right?

At this time, everyone understood that Li Jingheng suddenly jumped out not because he was unwilling to let them go, but because he wanted to crush them and squeeze them dry.

Liu Baidao and others looked extremely ugly.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, you don't want to?"

"This is a gift for our Great Tang Emperor. Don't you want to prepare such a gift?"

What the hell should I prepare?
Liu Baidao couldn't help but curse in his heart.

In order to prepare this gift, they almost emptied their family savings.

Now, with just one word from Su Chen, they are asked to prepare many gifts again. Who can resist this?

Li Jingheng: "Your Majesty, no need to say more, just kill him!"

Su Chen glared at Li Jingheng speechlessly. You keep killing, killing, killing. Where are you going to get the money if you kill them?

"My lord, please wait."

Liu Baidao said hurriedly, "This matter is of great importance. I wonder if Your Majesty can give us two days to consider it?"
