Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote
Chapter 247: Full of Gold and Silver
Chapter 247: Full of Gold and Silver
Six million taels of silver, four hundred thousand taels of gold, carved precious trees, a twenty-meter silver boat, and fifty-two large golden Buddhas.
Now they are piled up in the Golden Palace, especially the silver boat, which was dismantled and reassembled here. It is so damn gorgeous... All the civil and military officials in the court are knowledgeable people, but they have never seen such a thing.
The regent, Prince Lin'an, sat in the golden Buddha pile, stroking one of the Buddha heads with his hands. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry...
At this time, the official who delivered the goods took a step forward and came to Gao Shilian and said, "Prime Minister Gao, this is the handwritten letter that Lord Xia asked me to deliver to the King of Lin'an. I dare to ask you to deliver it."
Gao Shilian took the letter, opened it and saw that his heart skipped a beat. He liked Xia Lin more than anyone else now. He was serious. Just now, the contract of one of the three sugar factories in Lingnan Road was lying on his desk.
People say that Prime Minister Gao has worked hard and made great contributions, so he deserves it.
Zeng Ming, Prime Minister Zeng, got a Guangdong embroidery workshop, which was a worthwhile business. Xia Lin handed over both the mulberry fields and the skilled workers to him.
He said that he had no way to repay Mr. Zeng's kindness in recognizing his talent.
The gifts given by the six ministers were different, but they were all reasonable, legal, compliant and appropriate. There was nothing wrong with them, and they were all great gifts.
Not only these high-ranking officials, but even those who had nothing to do with Xia Lin received gifts. For example, the eunuchs accompanying the young prince received a fake ivory hook...
This is not a mockery. These eunuchs are happy to collect this thing, saying that they want to find a fake burial object when they die so that they can have a complete body in the next life. The higher the status of the family, the more they like it.
It is said that the more gifts you give, the less blame you get. Moreover, no one in the world gives gifts like him.
"Your Highness..." Gao Shilian bowed and walked in front of the young prince, lowering his voice and said, "Please take a look."
The young prince took the letter and read it. His whole body trembled, and his hands couldn't even hold it steady, and the paper fell to the ground. He quickly picked it up again and read it carefully.
The letter was naturally filled with the cries of cuckoos and the wails of monkeys. Every word was sad and loyal, and it was written in a tone of farewell.
At the end of the letter, it said: I don't know how many days I can live, and I am afraid that I have failed to live up to your trust. However, now that things have come to this, I feel ashamed of your Majesty's grace, ashamed of the cultivation of the Crown Prince, ashamed of the favor of Prime Minister Gao, ashamed of the love of Prime Minister Zeng, and ashamed of the grace that the Great Wei has shown me. If I die and cannot return, I only pray that the Great Wei will have good weather and a long-lasting foundation.
It was followed by the four words "Xia Lin's last words".
Oh, it was so sad to see it, and now when he looked up at the golden light in the hall, the little prince was so regretful. He had exchanged his life for these things! It was just a few dollars, just a few dollars! Xia Lin was much more useful than this!
Restraining his anger and grief, the young prince completed the routine work, ordered the Ministry of Revenue to return the treasures and money to the national treasury, and then returned to the palace without even stopping for a moment.
His expression must have been so ferocious at that time that even the princess who came to greet him thought he had a green face and fangs.
"Tell Ye Ji to come over here!"
He picked up a teacup and threw it on the ground: "Let him roll over here!!!"
The furious crown prince was in a state of confusion. Mr. Zhu, who was reading in the study, heard the sound and hurried over, asking in a low voice, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The young prince handed Xia Lin's suicide note to Mr. Zhu. He stood nearby and read it, then took a few steps back in astonishment, then sat down on the chair, not caring that the chair belonged to the crown prince.
"It's over... It's over... Great Wei's Young Lin! Your Highness's Young Lin!!!"
Hearing this, the little prince almost burst into tears, and he kicked the door...
"Your Highness, please allow me to retire and return home." Mr. Zhu sighed and bowed to the bottom: "I hope Your Highness will grant me permission."
"Mr. Zhu, are you going to leave me too?"
"Your Highness, I am old and can no longer serve you. I hope Your Highness will help me."
How could the young prince not know in his heart that it was Mr. Zhu who was blaming him for not listening to him in the first place? But at this moment, he was already in a state of confusion and just shook his head: "Mr. Zhu, I really have no talent to use. Please help me for a while longer. How about this, if Xia Daosheng really died in Lingnan, you can leave immediately. If he is lucky enough to return, I hope you can continue to stay."
Mr. Zhu stood there with his head down: "Your Highness, you should know that civil officials are different from military generals. He is weak and cannot even tie a chicken. How can he withstand the miasma and heat of Lingnan?"
"I know, I know, I know!!!" The little prince pulled his hair impatiently: "I know everything! It's all because of that thief!"
At this moment, Ye Liangchen was walking towards this side quickly with his head down. His face was gloomy because the eunuch had secretly told him when he reported just now that His Highness was furious.
He didn't know why His Highness was furious, but an angry leader would never be nice to him. As he expected, the moment he stepped into the hall, he saw the little prince kicking him.
At that moment, Ye Liangchen just felt his eyes go dark and he fell to the ground. When he struggled to get up, before he even knew what happened, he heard the young prince yelling, "You! Get out and guard Huangya Pass!"
Huangya Pass is a place that takes half an hour to find on the map. It was where An Lushan's Xiongwu Army was stationed, but now the place is just a mountainous area with no one in sight. The Great Wall was started to be built seventy years ago, but until today it seems that less than twenty miles have been built.
Guarding Huangya Pass is a disguised way of repairing the Great Wall. It is better than guarding the imperial mausoleum, but only slightly, and the winter conditions there are extremely bad...
Ye Liangchen looked confused at the moment, but the door of the lobby had been closed. He got up from the ground, covered his chest and walked away in a daze.
Can he not go? Of course not. The crown prince is also the emperor. He can resign but he has no reason to do so. Disobeying the emperor's order is a capital crime. He has to go whether he wants or not.
Soon the Ministry of Personnel issued his transfer order, and he could only ride a skinny and broken horse with a silent look on his face towards Huangya Pass, two thousand miles away, without even a single person accompanying him.
The person he missed the most at this moment was Narcissus. The days when he was in high spirits and riding a horse galloping with Narcissus by his side were the most memorable. But now... there are so many mountains and rivers to cross, and he didn't know when he could return.
At this moment, Narcissus was eating seafood, real seafood. Guangfu is close to the sea, and there are many fishermen fishing nearby. Xia Lin was grilling large conchs and conger eels in the yard, as well as palm-sized shrimps. They were dipped in mustard and soy sauce, and they were delicious whether eaten raw or cooked.
There were seven or eight girls from Persia dancing in front of them, and the Hu people next to them were holding the Seal of the Frontier, looking so leisurely.
"Oh, I've gained weight without realizing it." Xia Lin pinched the flesh on his belly and said, "I've been a little lax recently, Narcissus."
Narcissus didn't agree, but just smiled with a red face.
At this time, Qin Guanghuai came to ask for an audience. Xia Lin waved him over. Qin Guanghuai bowed and said, "Officials at all levels have been checked. Do you have any other instructions, sir?"
"This is just Guangzhou. If we expand it a little, it shouldn't be difficult to gather 200 people from Guangdong and Guangxi, right?"
Qin Guanghuai laughed: "Of course it's not difficult."
"Yeah." Xia Lin nodded: "Captain Qin looks better recently."
"No, no, I'll rely on Master Xia to take care of me."
This is not a compliment. As a new garrison commander, it would have been difficult for him to gain a foothold in this Cantonese place. But now, Xia Lin has only been here for more than a month, and his foundation here is already solid and basically unshakable. In addition to Xia Lin helping him get rid of all the veteran figures in this place, he also has a lot of money and food in place, sufficient soldiers, and has won over the hearts of the people.
And Qin Guanghuai finally witnessed the power of a powerful official.
"Okay, then if you find someone you don't like, just kill him and report to me. Then tell me that we found evidence of the assassination of an imperial official in his home. Follow his lead and eliminate all his followers. Remember these four words: irrefutable evidence."
"I know." Qin Guanghuai nodded and said, "I will do it cleanly."
Xia Lin hummed, "We should try to appease the people. We should divide up the land and fields that belonged to the rebels. We should not let the people suffer."
"Oh, right." Xia Lin suddenly raised his hand and waved, "There's one more thing. The spies from all sides are now gathered here. You must think twice before you speak or act. Don't leave any handles. If you don't know what to do, come and ask me. You are a military commander and you are not meticulous in some things."
"Thank you, Lord Xia, for your support." Qin Guanghuai clasped his fists and bowed: "I will do as you say."
After saying that, he paused for a moment and said, "Well... a merchant presented a beautiful woman to you, would you like to see her?"
"No, no, strangers are dangerous, just let him go." Xia Lin shook his head: "I've been bored here for the past few days, how about we go to Guangfu to have some fun when Qin Shoubei has some time?"
"Anytime, as long as the adults ask."
"Okay!" Xia Lin stretched lazily. "Let's wait until the medicine from the Medicine King arrives. Going out now would be deceiving the emperor. Oh, that garrison commander Qin, please get some oysters over. It just so happens that this season is the right time to eat oysters."
Whether Xia Lin is sick or not, as long as he does not walk out of this door, he is seriously ill and bedridden. As long as the medicine from the Medicine King has not arrived, if he walks out of this door, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and he must not leave any evidence. Doesn't Xiao Chenzi want to harm him? Then he will give Xiao Chenzi a super strong club, and this time Chenzi will probably be skinned alive if he doesn't die.
But this is his own fault. His old father was always trying to be good to him, but this ungrateful bastard is really not a good person.
Do you really think your father has no way to deal with him?
Now that such a long time has passed, the officials in the court should have received the gifts, but I wonder how they will report to me, a dying man? I am looking forward to it.
