The day after the dust-washing banquet, Mr. Ma set off back to Beijing.
The King of Beihai couldn't get off the bed, so the Crown Prince of Beihai sent him off diligently until he was thirty miles out of the city.
Eunuch Ma has reaped all the benefits these days and is now in a hurry to return to Beijing. He is very polite to Xu Jing: "Thank you for seeing me off, Your Majesty. This place is far out of the city. Please come back, Your Majesty!"
Xu Jing responded with a smile: "I got along very well with Eunuch Ma these days. Now that Eunuch Ma has left, I am really reluctant to leave him."
Naturally, he stuffed a purse into Eunuch Ma's hand and said, "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, Eunuch Ma, please don't refuse."
There were two carriages when Ma Gonggong came and eight when he left. It was inevitable to feel a little embarrassed to ask for "Xinyi" at this time. I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it.
As for Murong Shen, he didn't take Eunuch Ma seriously at all and didn't come to see him off. He went to the Zhao clan today to visit Uncle Zhao.
Xu Jing sighed to Eunuch Ma: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne. It is a pity that my father will not be able to see such a grand ceremony."
Ma Gongzheng said seductively: "Your Majesty is seriously ill and cannot stay here, but he is actually very loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince and the court. We must report this feeling to His Highness when our family returns to Beijing."
Xu Jing cupped his hands and thanked him: "On behalf of my father, I would like to thank Eunuch Ma."
The rebellious Crown Prince of Beihai, who had higher eyes than his head, was so polite and courteous to him. Eunuch Ma felt secretly happy in his heart. He chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. When our family returned to the capital, we sent someone to deliver a message to the Crown Prince.
"
Xu Jing's smile remained until Ma Eunuch got on the carriage. When the carriage drove away, the smile on Xu Jing's face dissipated and he snorted coldly.
Xu Shiyi knew that his master was in a bad mood and did not dare to flatter him. He asked cautiously: "Is the prince going back home now?"
Xu Jing glared at him impatiently: "Go to the clan to learn."
Xu Shiyi understood immediately: "Yes, yes, that Captain Murong is just a vulgar martial artist, but he still has the nerve to go to the Zhao clan to learn from the master. The prince will go now and let that Murong martial artist see what it means to be both civil and military, talented and unparalleled"
.Let Master also see that the prince is Miss Zhao Liu’s destined lover.”
How else can we say that Xu Shiyi is the most popular among his masters?
This is a piece of flattery.
There was a smile on Xu Jing's face again, he got on his horse and started to turn around.
Master, don’t be fooled by that kid Murong Shen’s sweet words, here comes your most outstanding disciple!
…
The official road was smooth and smooth, and Eunuch Ma was riding in a large carriage specially made for the palace. It walked quickly and steadily. If you feel sleepy, there is no harm in lying down in the carriage and taking a nap.
Eunuch Ma prides himself on being a clean figure among the chamberlains. He likes antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and has always looked down upon the greedy and money-seeking behavior of other chamberlains.
Therefore, Eunuch Ma actually didn't pay attention to the purse that Xu Jing handed over, and he just put it aside casually.
It wasn't until noon that the motorcade stopped. After having lunch and having nothing to do, Eunuch Ma opened his wallet.
The purse was light and there was a roll of banknotes in it.
As for banknotes, Eunuch Ma also saw a lot of them. Clan nobles or civil servants from the Six Ministries came to the palace to see the prince and asked him to speak to him. Often someone would slip one or two taels like this, or one or two hundred taels, or as many as five.
One hundred taels. Such a volume must be several thousand taels at least.
He thinks twice immediately, unlike those chamberlains who are blind to money.
Eunuch Ma opened it casually and took a look, then his body trembled and he suddenly sat upright.
The little waiter waiting on the side was a little surprised: "What's wrong with father-in-law?"
"Get out of here right now!" Mr. Ma didn't even raise his head.
The little chambermaid rolled out of the carriage in a heap.
Only then did Eunuch Ma allow himself to show his shock and ecstasy.
Oh my god! This turned out to be a huge banknote worth ten thousand taels. There are ten of them in total, which is a full one hundred thousand taels!
God! Only now does he realize that it’s not that he doesn’t love money, it’s because those people didn’t give enough to him before!
The Prince of Beihai is too bold and generous in his actions!
One hundred thousand taels!
From now on, anyone who dares to say anything bad about the North Sea King will be his enemy!
…
One hundred thousand taels is by no means a small number no matter where it is. This is Beihai County's tax for half a year, which is enough to recruit dozens or hundreds of martial arts masters to work for the Beihai Palace.
Xu Jing had some hesitation before giving away the purse. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with the money, but he just didn't like Ma Sansi.
"It's worthy of a chamberlain." Xu Jing murmured to Zhao Xiyan privately: "Ten thousand taels as a gift is enough to send him off."
"No, either don't give it. If you want to give it, you have to give a huge amount of silver. This will be useful. Everyone in the world looks down on internal servants. Ma Sansi thinks very highly of himself, which shows that he has a very strong self-esteem. If you give a person like this ten thousand taels of silver, it will be useful."
He won't take it seriously. He may even think that you are using money to humiliate him."
"Only if you have enough money, can you completely bribe him. He is the prince's confidant. After the prince ascends the throne, if there is someone around you who can say a few good words to you or give you a warning in advance, the money will be well spent."
Zhao Xiyan's words easily convinced Xu Jing.
Naturally, he couldn't hide the use of such a large amount of money. Xu Jing didn't hide it either. He told Beihai King the day before.
Beihai Wang, who was lying on the hospital bed and had lost a lot of weight, smiled happily and said: "Miss Zhao Liu is really thoughtful and thoughtful."
"You are young and can be impulsive. I can rest assured that she can give you advice."
"Just do what she said, if you want to give it as a gift, give it a large amount, maybe one hundred thousand taels!"
That’s why today’s episode happened.
Xu Jing has been rich and well-fed since he was a child, and he has never paid much attention to gold and silver. However, it still feels a little painful to give away such a large sum of money.
I arrived at the Zhao Clan Academy with a sullen face and entered the Jiazi Academy.
What's even more annoying is coming.
The seat he usually sat in was actually occupied by someone today.
Xu Jing's heart was filled with sparks, but he did not rush to retaliate. He deliberately walked over slowly. The classmates in the school greeted him one after another.
That kid Huo Yan, who has been languid and depressed these days, is looking over with complicated eyes.
Xu Jing was not in the mood to pay attention to Huo Yan's thoughts and walked to his seat in a swaggering manner: "Captain Murong, I'm so sorry. This position is occupied. Please stand up and give way."
Murong Shen did not move, and even smiled politely: "Your Majesty is seeing Eunuch Ma off today, how come you still have time to come to study?"
In terms of height, Murong Shen is actually a bit taller.
Now Murong Shen is sitting, while Xu Jing, who is standing, has an absolute height advantage and glances over at him: "Whether I come or not, this is my place, and no one can move it."
"Captain Murong, please stand up immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Xu Jing's heart was filled with anger. Wasn't it possible that Murong Shen was suffocating?
Murong Shen twitched his lips: "If I don't get up, what will happen to the prince?"
