Chapter 139: The Humiliated Woman Beheaded and Abandoned in the City (22)

After the discussion was completed, Tian Minghui and her team quickly prepared 800,000 taels of silver, and then sent two smarter sisters and dozens of soldiers.

Escort the silver and a few eunuchs.

Let’s go to Luoyang together.

This time, they were not as leisurely as the eunuchs. They were in a hurry, so it only took them half the time, about half a month, to successfully reach Luoyang City and stay in the local official inn.

The next step, of course, was to let the eunuchs enter the palace.

Tell the emperor about the situation and ask him to arrange an audience with them, go through the procedures, and appoint them as the governor of Lingnan, so that they can hand over the silver to the little emperor.

Those eunuchs were actually not qualified to see the emperor, but they were afraid that Tian Minghui would think they were useless and kill them directly. So when they were in Lingnan Road, they dared to make all kinds of promises, constantly actively saying that they were useful. In fact, Tian Minghui and the others didn't believe it, but after all, they were not bloodthirsty people, so they just went along with their words and didn't delve into it too much.

Moreover, these eunuchs could never see the emperor.

There's definitely no problem passing on the message!

After entering the palace, the eunuchs didn't see the emperor, but they soon met their immediate superior. Because Luoyang was still unaware of the situation in Lingnan Province, the fifth-rank eunuch only came to go through the formalities and collect the pass tokens from them.

"Sir! Oh no, something happened!"

"That Cui Yu is a piece of crap. He has no merit at all. He was defeated and killed long ago. The entire Lingnan Road has fallen into the hands of a force called Yuanjun Mansion."

"We almost lost our lives!"

The eunuchs knew very well that it would be useless for them to conceal the news at this time, otherwise the guys who came with them would cause trouble later.

They still have to suffer.

So they immediately told everything they knew, just like when they were arrested in Yuanjun Mansion before.

At least it has been reported to the superiors.

Then, the fifth-rank eunuch was naturally extremely shocked. He took a long time to calm down, and even asked some key questions repeatedly. Only then did he accept the reality in disbelief, and hurriedly took these little eunuchs to find his superiors, reporting to them one level at a time.

After being passed on three or four times, the news finally reached the ears of the chief eunuch, who brought them before Emperor Yuhe.

He is in his early twenties and has already married and taken power three years ago. He married a cousin named Wang. Over the years, he has cooperated very closely with those eunuchs. Both sides are quite satisfied. As long as they don't do anything out of line, they should be able to continue to live in harmony.

As the eunuchs who delivered the imperial eunuchs repeated the situation, even though Emperor Yuhe had already heard the general situation from his personal eunuch, he still found it a little hard to believe: "How could Cui Yu be so weak?"

"As a branch of the Cui family, hasn't he been operating in Lingnan for nearly a hundred years? If he was betrayed by a general he trusted, or if there was some internal turmoil within the family, leading to his downfall and death, I can understand. But where did the Yuanjun Mansion come from?"

In those days, the Jiedushi themselves were not very safe. The imperial power could not do anything to them, but Jiedushi were still capable of attacking and killing each other, and the highest mortality rate was internal rebellion. For example, there was a Jiedushi who rebelled, and then his son killed him and seized power during the uprising. The son was killed by the Jiedushi's most trusted general, and the general was killed by his own son.

The father kills the son, and the son kills the father.

There are too many generals fighting and killing each other.

So when Cui Yu died, Emperor Yuhe himself was not surprised. What surprised him was that Cui Yu did not die in an internal rebellion, but was directly replaced by someone else.

The Yuanjun Mansion was able to develop such a powerful force right under Cui Yu's nose, and then completely destroyed Cui Yu's power in such a short period of time. It doesn't look like a good person at all, it's very scary.

However, the eunuchs obviously could not answer Emperor Yuhe's questions, because they were arrested as soon as they arrived at Yuanjun Mansion. Later, they were hurriedly taken back to Luoyang before they could leave Yuanjun Mansion. Although they had time during the process, they did not dare to ask about the relevant situation at all.

So at this point, he basically knows nothing.

The angry Emperor Yuhe rolled his eyes and drove them out. After a while, he calmed down and discussed with his personal eunuch with a headache. "Mr. Gao, what do you think I should do?"

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. Just agree to it. Those brats just said it very clearly. The so-called Yuanjun Mansion sent 800,000 taels of silver in the hope of buying a Jiedushi.

This kind of thing will benefit us in every way and will not cause any harm.

Although buying and selling official positions and titles is not a pleasant thing to do, this matter is actually not something we can decide. Even if we don't want them to, can they withdraw from Lingnan Road?

Will Lingnan Road be returned to the court?
Or even if it fell into the hands of the court.

What do we need that place for?"

"Lingnan Road has been in the hands of the Cui family for decades. The imperial court has been unable to intervene. Moreover, it has always been a place of exile for officials from remote areas.

On weekdays, no taxes can be collected.

Being able to use the title of Jiedushi of this place to receive 800,000 taels of silver for free is a complete surprise. There's no need to worry about it. If it were you, I'd just agree to it."

"Besides, the people in Yuan Jun Mansion have already found an excuse for us, saying that Cui Yu rebelled and proclaimed himself king.

The Yuan army considered him a righteous man and a great contributor.

It's just right to promote him to take over the post of Lingnan Jiedushi."

Gao Huaihe answered decisively. How could he not accept the money that was delivered to his door? Moreover, even if they did not agree, the other party would not leave Lingnan. An imperial edict in exchange for 800,000 taels of silver was quite good.

He felt that those guys were being taken advantage of.

Even if they don't give it, if the matter really gets out of hand, the court will probably have to grit its teeth and acquiesce to it.

Or at most give other Jiedushi the right to conquer.

Anyway, it is impossible to send troops personally.

"But the appearance of this Yuanjun Mansion is too strange. I have never heard of it before, and its strength seems to be not to be underestimated. Wouldn't it be bad to indulge it like this?"

Emperor Yuhe was still a little worried.

Although he was just a puppet under the influence of his mother, he still had the ambition to revive Daqian.

Therefore, I am still unwilling to give up.

It's inevitable to worry more when something happens.

"Alas, Your Majesty, it's already this late, why are you still dwelling on this? The other party's strength shouldn't be underestimated, right? So what if indulging them might have consequences? Why are you worrying about something you can't control in the first place?

Moreover, Lingnan Road is separated from Luoyang by several Jiedushi. Even if there is a real concern, it is the Jiedushi who need to worry about it. Even if the so-called Yuanjun Mansion is a real threat, it is impossible for it to bypass the Jiedushi in the middle and directly threaten our imperial capital Luoyang.

You really should stop worrying about nothing."

If Gao Huaihe hadn't been concerned about imperial power, he really wanted to roll his eyes at Emperor Yuhe and scold him. He was just a puppet, so why was he still thinking so much all day? He should just accept the money that was delivered to his door and enjoy himself for a few years instead of worrying about this and that.

Is it useful to worry about it?

Really sick in the brain!!
