"Your Majesty," Murong Fu smiled and said with an inexplicable expression, "This time you asked me to solve the crisis in the imperial city. You didn't expect that the matter would be so difficult. And you also got huge benefits afterwards. For this price, we are
It shouldn’t be calculated separately.”
"What?" Wanyan Quan's heart skipped a beat. Although she had known that Murong Fu would be up to no good in finding her, she never expected that he was so thick-skinned. She hadn't even figured out how to reward him yet, so he came to ask for it.
After calming down and pondering for a long time, Wanyan Dan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, it is indeed thanks to your great blessing that I was able to save the day from danger this time. I have decided to let you and Ping'er get married as soon as possible. In addition, I will reward you with 10,000 yuan in gold."
Liang, fifty thousand taels of silver, a thousand bolts of silk and satin, and five thousand oxen and sheep."
After thinking about it, he seemed to feel a bit petty, and added, "Besides, you and Ping'er have made great contributions to the country, so I will make an exception and grant you two three thousand food."
The so-called food husbands were originally fiefs given to vassals in various places, but most of the princes and princes of the Jin Kingdom did not have fiefs. Therefore, the food husbands mentioned by Wanyan Dan actually refer to the tribute, taxation, etc. of the subjects of a certain place.
All of them belonged to Murong Fu, and they had three thousand households, which meant three thousand households. This treatment was almost the same as that of an ordinary prince.
"No more?" Murong Fu couldn't help but ask.
The corner of Wanyan Dan's mouth twitched slightly, "No more!"
Murong Fu secretly cursed "stingy" in his heart. He was not in the Kingdom of Jin often. It was hard to tell whether he was an enemy or a friend in the future. Let alone three thousand food troops, even thirty thousand, he might not take it seriously.
The real reward was only tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver. A trace of displeasure flashed across his face immediately.
"Your Majesty, is this a little missing? You also know that I am not from the Kingdom of Jin, nor have I lived here for a long time. If you give me food, it will be of little use. It is better to exchange it for real gold and silver."
Wanyan's face darkened. As a Nine-Five Supreme Being, he usually gave out random rewards, let alone such generous rewards. The people below him were all happy and grateful. Only Murong Fu was picky and picky.
Say it so directly.
She glared at him angrily and said, "When you and Ping'er get married, you won't be a wealthy man."
But seeing that Murong Fu's face was a bit ugly, Wanyan Dan softened his tone slightly and said, "This food concubine has nothing to do with whether you are in the Kingdom of Jin or not. Every year, all the offerings will be sent to the princess's mansion. And after you and Ping'er get married,
I also want to move to Kyoto."
Murong Fu was noncommittal about this and said bluntly, "It's chilling that the emperor is so demanding. If we encounter this kind of situation next time, I'm afraid my son-in-law may not be able to help."
Threat, Chi Guoguo's threat, at the same time he snorted secretly in his heart, next time, if I don't kill you severely, I will take your last name.
When Wanyan Dan heard this, he felt angry and at the same time, he couldn't help but shuddered slightly. According to Murong Fu's character, if there is a next time, he might really be able to do such a thing. For a moment, he was also in trouble.
The main reason why Murong Fu was rewarded with food instead of real gold and silver was because he wanted to keep him completely in the Jin Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, Murong Fu didn't buy it at all, but if the reward was in cash, considering this kid's appetite, it might not be a small amount. The national treasury is empty now, and the pensions and rewards after the war are a huge expense, and there is no extra money.
.
With these thoughts in mind, Wanyan Quan's face gradually darkened, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Murong Fu's expression turned from cloudy to clear in an instant, and he calculated with his fingers, "This... I won't count the cost of carriages and horses, etc., but the bloodbath in the Hailing Palace, the annihilation of more than a thousand of Wanyan Liang's soldiers, and the disruption of the Forbidden Army camp caused the Forbidden Army to
There were countless casualties, and indirectly saving the emperor's throne is worth at least five million taels of gold."
"What!" Wanyan Dan was startled and stood up quickly, "Five million taels of gold, you might as well kill me."
As soon as the words came out, Deng felt that something was wrong, and his tone softened slightly, "Thankfully you are still my brother-in-law. This was originally your responsibility, but now you are bargaining with me. Does the agreement you made at the beginning still count?"
Murong Fu's face was slightly stern, but he didn't feel much guilt in his heart. As soon as his thoughts changed, he stretched out two fingers and said, "Two million, no more."
I was thinking in my heart, "Before this happens, I will have to extort you tens of millions of taels of gold. "
"Huh!" Wanyan Quan looked slightly cold and turned around and said, "No!"
Murong Fu's eyes flashed slightly. According to Wanyan Dan's timid temperament, to be able to speak to him so forcefully was obviously because of his tight budget. After pondering for a while, he finally sighed, "That's all, for Ping's sake."
For my son’s sake, one million taels of gold.”
Then, without waiting for Wanyan Dan to speak, he added, "If it doesn't happen again, I will really sell your dragon chair for money. This chair is worth one or two million at least."
Wanyan Quan's heart skipped a beat. The dragon chair was related to the dignity of the country. If Murong Fu really took it and sold it, how would he face the people of the world in the future? Moreover, if the dragon chair moved slightly, it would be very unlucky. He gritted his teeth and said,
Finally, he gave Murong Fu a hard look and said, "You are so greedy for money that you don't show any friendship at all."
After hesitating for a moment, he looked troubled again, "It's just that the treasury is empty now. I can't even collect the military pay for the border. I really can't come up with so much gold. Can you give me a period of grace?"
Murong Fu also knew a little bit about the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. Since the Kingdom of Jin established its capital in Kaifeng, it has been extravagant and greedy for pleasure. The treasury has long been depleted. Suddenly, he thought, "I have an idea that can help you replenish the treasury.
But one million taels of gold cannot be lost even a cent."
Wanyan Quan's eyes lit up, "What can we do?"
Murong Fu smiled slightly, jumped up suddenly, landed in front of the dragon chair opposite the royal table, and put his hand on Wanyan Yu's shoulder.
Wanyan Dan's heart trembled, and he almost couldn't help shouting the word "escort". Fortunately, the kind smile on the other person's face made him stop talking and changed his words, "You... what can you do quickly?
He said, don’t hook up with each other, it’s unbecoming.”
Murong Fu's face darkened, he took his hand back, wiped it on his sleeve again, sat directly on the dragon chair, and said leisurely, "We Han people have an old saying, in troubled times, we should use heavy codes."
A trace of confusion flashed in Wanyan Dan's eyes. He had never heard of this sentence before, but what does it have to do with the current emptiness of the national treasury?
Murong Fu stopped trying to be evasive and continued, "Didn't you take advantage of the chaos and kill many officials?"
Wanyan Dan was startled for a moment, as if he thought of something, "What do you mean..."
"That's right!" Murong Fu nodded, "These people are all corrupt officials. I don't know how much gold, silver and jewelry are hidden in their homes. You can confiscate them all and return them to the state."
"But..." A look of hesitation appeared on Wanyan Dan's face, "Most of those dead officials had the support of clan forces behind them, so they couldn't be easily moved."
Murong Fu glanced at him with disdain, "You have just put down Wan Yanliang's rebellion. The whole army is only following your orders. No one dares to stroke your tiger's beard at this time. What are you afraid of? Who
If you dare to say anything, just uproot it, and then you can increase your income."
"That's right!" Wanyan Dan couldn't help but clapped his hands, feeling that what Murong Fu said made sense.
"Moreover, those who have dissatisfaction with you, as well as those who are rich and cannibalize the national treasury, you can also take this opportunity to beat them into chaos..." Murong Fu followed the temptation.
"It makes sense, it makes sense..." Wanyan Dan murmured softly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
Murong Fu secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was solemn, "But your Majesty, please don't forget my one million taels of gold when the time comes. Just order it to be sent to the south of the Yangtze River."
Wanyan Dan came back to his senses immediately, but when he thought of one million taels of gold, his heart trembled. He nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, Jun Wuxi, I will not break my promise. By the way, there is one more thing, you
How do you think Wan Yanliang should be dealt with?"
As he spoke, he looked at Murong Fu with deep meaning.
Murong Fu immediately understood, "What should be done? Didn't Wan Yanliang commit suicide because he felt ashamed of the emperor and feared the crime?"
Wanyan Dan was stunned for a moment, then he understood, with a look of enlightenment on his face, "Look at my memory, alas, I still want to save his life, but he can't think of it himself, and there is nothing he can do about it."
Murong Fu gave him a faint look, finally meeting someone with a thicker skin than himself, but being able to get one million taels of gold today was an unexpected surprise, so Wan Yanliang went to help him with the meal.
"Now that everything is settled, I will take my leave." Murong Fu stood up and said goodbye.
"Wait a minute," Wanyanquan fumbled around his waist, took out a golden token, and said meaningfully, "This is the token for entering and exiting any place in the palace. Also, don't be too tall when entering or leaving the palace in the future.
It’s so high.”
Murong Fu naturally knew what he meant. It was just to make it more convenient for him to go to the Tianlao. He wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he didn't need it. Maybe he could give it to the people in the Crystal Palace. He immediately sucked the token with his backhand.
It automatically flew into his hands and said without looking back, "Thank you very much."
Wanyan Dan stared blankly at Murong Fu's back until he disappeared, his face uncertain. After a long while, he sighed slightly, "Although this kid is a little greedy for money, he did help a lot. If he can do it thoroughly
If we regain it, it will be perfect."
He could be said to be both afraid and in love with Murong Fu. Apart from being jealous, he also wanted to keep him by his side completely. It was extremely complicated.
The location of Tianlao was not in the imperial city. Murong Fu left the palace and asked a group of patrolling soldiers before he found its location.
When we arrived at Tianlao, it was as Wanyan Dan said. The surrounding area of Tianlao was heavily guarded. At the only entrance, there were nearly 3,000 armored soldiers standing there. It was really difficult for even a mosquito to fly in. Wanyan Dan
This shows how much he fears Wan Yanliang.
Murong Fu pinched the gold medal in his sleeve. Without this brand, I'm afraid it would not be easy for him to enter silently.
"Be bold, the prison is strong and the earth is strong, and the idle people are waiting to leave quickly."
