I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 536 The Conversation Between Two Peerless Ones

Originally, according to Tang Wuyang's meaning, not a dime was paid.

But after this joint war against pirates, both Tang Wuyang and others' views on the imperial court, and Chen Hong's and others' views on Tang Wuyang and others have greatly changed.

However, as an officer of Ming Dynasty, Chen Hong had to obey orders in everything. Apart from being able to give Tang Wuyang and others a little convenience within the scope of his authority, there were actually very few things he could do.

But Tang Wuyang and the others are different. With the treasure in hand, they have mastered very powerful resources.

If you run into a general who is weak in mind or has a different heart, under the temptation of a lot of money, it is possible to defect with his men and ships.
Originally, Tang Wuyang had planned the same way, intending to persuade Chen Hong and his men to surrender, but in the end Tang Sai'er stopped him.

Firstly, persuading the army against the imperial court is extremely troublesome. They already have enough troubles, and they don't want to be contaminated with such troublesome things again.

Secondly, the loyalty of Chen Hong and others may not be moved by money, and if not done well, it may backfire.

That's why he changed his previous thinking at this time, and planned to give part of the treasure that was originally used to buy Chen Hong and others as a reward to the Ming court.

After listening to Tang Wuyang's words, Chen Hong also fell into a short thought.

Although he still doesn't know why Tang Wuyang and others put their attitude down so low, he knows that if he can bring back a large ship of treasures in the end, it will be considered for his future career and the face of the court. Let's go.

With these treasures as a buffer, in the end, as long as the prince returns safely, maybe the court and His Majesty will completely pardon Tang Wuyang and others for their crimes.

It's the best ending I can think of right now.

Of course, there are risks involved in doing this.

If someone in the court provokes them, saying that they have been bought by thieves, they will speak well for the thieves.

If His Majesty really believed it, he might also encounter great trouble.

How the imperial court will evaluate this matter will ultimately depend on His Majesty's decision.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed, willing to be a lobbyist between Tang Wuyang and others and the court.

"My most important purpose is to keep the prince safe. As long as you can guarantee this, everything else is easy to talk about."

Seeing that he agreed, Tang Wuyang's expression immediately improved a lot.

Very proudly put on the shoulder of Chen Hong, the court official, as if hit it off, laughed and said,
"Chen Qianhu is indeed a man of temperament, if this matter can be accomplished, it will be a good thing for both you and me.

If the last two can reconcile, you, Chen Qianhu, will be my brother, Tang Wuyang, from now on. "

Chen Hong smiled wryly, although he was muttering in his heart, he never rejected Tang Wuyang's kindness.

I don't know if Tang Wuyang was too happy, or if Jiu Jin slipped his mouth.

"Brother Chen, you may not know that according to His Holiness' estimate, the total number of treasures buried on this island is about 1000 million taels, which is 1000 million taels, which is more than half of the tax burden of the Ming court.

Do you know how much you can save if you use this money to help the victims? "

Chen Hong shook his head, expressing that he was not very clear, but his ears were perked up, for fear of missing any of his words.

Tang Wuyang continued,
"Shandong, Henan and other places have been suffering from floods for years, and people's livelihood has been in decline. Although things have improved in recent years, there are still many people who are hungry. With this money, we can..."

While talking, he seemed to think of something, stopped suddenly, and then smiled,
"Hey, look at me, I started talking nonsense after drinking some wine, let's not talk about this, let's continue drinking."

Chen Hong cursed in his heart, "You just keep talking, the words are so-so, you will suffocate people if you don't finish."

Although he really wanted to know their real thoughts, but he had a special status at this time, so it was not easy to ask. He had no choice but to continue to drink with Tang Wuyang, hoping that he would reveal more inside stories.

The time soon came to midnight.

The climate on the island was not considered cold, and many people slept directly beside the campfire.

At this time, sitting alone on the reef, looking at the sea, and tasting the Zhuang Shaoyou that he didn't have, his ears moved slightly, and then he said with a light smile,

"Since your Excellency is here, why don't you show up and get together!"

Before the words were finished, a beautiful figure slowly descended from the sky.

It was Tang Sai'er.

Zhuang Shaoyou seemed to have expected it to be her, and said with a faint smile,
"I've heard people say for a long time that Tang Sai'er, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, has acquired magical skills and has few rivals in the world. I thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true..."

Tang Sai'er was not happy with Zhuang Shaoyou's praise, but cupped his hands solemnly and said to him,

"Senior is over-reputed. This junior's skill is not worth mentioning compared to senior you who are willing to compete with the bright moon for glory."

Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head and smiled wryly, finally he sighed and seemed to be enlightened,

"Girl, you are being modest. I think when I was your age, I was just a brat who only knew how to muddle along. I can't compare to you who can achieve such achievements at such a young age. When you reach my age, That's not bad!"

Although Tang Sai'er couldn't guess Zhuang Shaoyou's identity for a while, she knew intuitively that Zhuang Shaoyou must not be a simple person.

Before she knew the real intention of the other party, her tone was still very respectful, with a hint of a wry smile,
"Senior, if you continue to praise me like this, this junior will really feel ashamed!"

As she spoke, she turned around and asked,

"I don't know what you are here for, senior. If this junior can help you, I will never refuse."

Zhuang Shaoyou really wanted to scold her severely, if she hadn't taken the prince away on a whim, he wouldn't have ran to such a deserted island to enjoy the sea breeze.

But he finally held back and smiled wryly,

"What else can it be for, isn't it just that brat surnamed Zhu, the old man owes him a favor... The poor old man is so old, he still has nothing to do!"

Hearing that the other party was actually sent by the emperor, Tang Sai'er's face changed, and his aura suddenly rose to the extreme, and he was about to make a move.

Zhuang Shaoyou didn't even look at her, he waved his hand casually and said,
"Girl baby, don't get excited, except for the life of the little girl surnamed Zhu, the other old men don't care, you can do whatever you want.

Helping the emperor's son take care of his son is already the best of humanity, this old man doesn't want to bother with other trivial matters..."

Tang Sai'er didn't believe that masters like Zhuang Shaoyou would tell lies, so after listening to him, he didn't doubt anything else.
