If I were here in person
Although he had been away from Beijing for nearly a month, this was not the first time he had entered the palace. He parked his horse at the door and Yuhuatian hurried to Qianqing Palace on a familiar road.
But when they arrived at Qianqing Palace, they heard from the officials on duty that Zhu Youxiao had not been to court since he fell into the water and returned to Beijing, and had been recuperating in the harem.
These two days should have been in Cining Palace where Concubine Wan Gui was.
So Yuhuatian rushed towards Cining Palace again.
Yuhuatian is also very familiar with Cining Palace. It can even be said that it is the most familiar place in the entire Ming Dynasty Palace. After all, it was because of the favor of the owner of this palace that his predecessor was able to become the first factory director of the West Factory and have such a good reputation. status today.
But now, with Xichang's achievements, achievements and prestige, I believe that soon Yuhuatian will no longer need to rely on Concubine Wan Gui to hold its head high in the court.
But after all, they were husband and wife for a hundred days. Although they were not married to Concubine Wan Gui, it was because of her support that he could become the governor of Xichang. Moreover, Concubine Wan Gui was always the emperor's favorite concubine. If necessary, Yu Hua Tian doesn't want to fall out with her yet.
Just the thought of being called into the palace to work as a servant every day after returning to Beijing, and experiencing the pain of being able to see and touch but not eat, gave Yuhuatian a headache.
Especially since I have been out of the palace for so long this time, this coquettish hooves is probably already hungry and thirsty...
Sure enough, as soon as Yuhuatian walked to the door of Qianqing Palace, he heard whispers coming from inside:
"Oh, Your Majesty, come here..."
"Ahem... My beloved concubine, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I've been very tired recently and I'm really powerless."
"Then you take it out. If people want to tease it, if they can't eat it, then it's OK if they have experienced eye addiction..."
"Hiss... I may feel more uncomfortable than death later..."
…
Yuhuatian stood outside the palace and listened for a moment. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He couldn't listen anymore. He walked forward and knocked on the door of the palace:
"My slave is raining in the fields, asking to see the emperor."
The lustful voice suddenly stopped.
After a slight silence, Zhu Youxiao's majestic voice rang out:
"Come in."
Yuhuatian looked calm, slowly opened the palace door and walked in.
The spacious and bright hall was filled with an indescribable but somewhat familiar smell, which made De Yuhuatian's eyes twitch slightly.
He looked up and immediately met a pair of tender eyes full of surprise and excitement.
Those eyes were as captivating as those of a fox, with a face filled with desire and dissatisfaction. The moment he saw Yuhuatian, the slender white legs under the plump figure subconsciously closed and then rubbed slightly, expressing how deep the owner's psychology was at the moment. Urgently, how much I need the comfort of Yuhuatian’s magical skills...
Yu Huatian's eyelids twitched and he didn't dare to look any further. He immediately shifted his gaze and looked at the figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the chair next to him——
After not seeing him for a long time, Zhu Youxiao has become much more haggard. Not only is his body thin, but his face is also slightly pale.
Yuhuatian took a closer look and saw that it had indeed not hurt the root and that his life was not in danger for the time being. He immediately felt relieved.
"Coming?"
Before Yuhuatian came to see him first, Zhu Youxiao had already spoken in advance, with a gentle tone and a face full of happiness and satisfaction. Compared with the previous times, his attitude was like a natural chasm.
Yuhuatian didn't say much, he knelt down and bowed meticulously, cupped his hands and said, "My slave, I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"Get up, there's so much red tape!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You did a good job this time. I allow you not to kneel when you see me in the future, so as not to waste time."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Yuhuatian saluted again and then stood up, feeling a little more comfortable. After all, no one wants to kneel down all the time.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to say: "Tell me about the specific process of fighting for the treasure this time, and how much money you brought back in the end?"
Upon hearing this, Yuhuatian did not hesitate and immediately told him the details of his trip to the desert. Of course, Yuhuatian did not go into details about some situations involving himself.
Finally, Yuhuatian pondered for a moment and said: "As for the treasures brought back this time, I have not made a detailed calculation, but a preliminary estimate is that they are at least three million taels..."
"Silver?" Zhu Youxiao frowned.
"Gold." Yuhuatian replied.
"hiss……"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly took a breath, his eyes widened, and then the smile on his face gradually became wild and distorted:
"Three million taels of gold?!"
"Three million taels!!!"
"Hahaha……"
Zhu Youxiao looked up to the sky and laughed, extremely cheerful, and the surprise and excitement in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
You know, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the poorest among the six great dynasties of China. In recent years, the tax revenue is only about one or two hundred million, which is equivalent to only one or two million in silver. There are not even some stronger small countries.
rich.
Three million taels of gold was already worth two years of Ming Dynasty's taxes. How could he not be excited?!
"Okay! Well done!"
After the excitement, Zhu Youxiao calmed down slightly and looked at Yuhuatian with a smile on his face:
"You did a great job this time!"
"Speaking of which, how do you want me to reward you?"
Yuhuatian bowed slightly: "It is the duty of a slave to share the emperor's worries. I dare not seek rewards."
"It's just that this slave has offended many Jianghu forces and other dynasties in order to compete for the treasure. I'm afraid it will bring some trouble to the emperor. Please forgive me."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, full of domineering:
"As long as you successfully seize the treasure, these Jianghu forces will be offended if you offend them. If I see who dares to come to trouble you, I will immediately send troops to destroy him!"
"As for the Song Dynasty and Xixia...the northwest desert is not their territory in the first place. They all come across the border. Whoever grabs this treasure belongs to whom. If they lose, can they still have the nerve to come to me and cause trouble?"
"Let me see if they can do such a shameful thing!"
"But the Great Yuan Dynasty is in some trouble..."
Zhu Youxiao paused and looked at Yuhuatian: "You mean, you killed King Ruyang's daughter?"
Yu Huatian nodded: "Yes, the people brought by Min Min Temuer were all buried under the desert by their slaves."
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and said:
"This Ruyang King Chahan Temul is a Taiwei of the Yuan Dynasty. He is in charge of the Yuan Dynasty's troops and has great power in the Yuan Dynasty. If he wants to pursue this matter, even the Yuan Emperor will have to consider his opinion.
.”
"This matter is indeed somewhat troublesome..."
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "But now that it has happened, it is useless to say more. It is just a woman. Just kill her. I don't believe that the Yuan Dynasty really dared to launch troops against our Ming Dynasty.
"
"If he really dares to fight, then our Ming Dynasty is not a vegetarian. I will show him that none of our soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are cowards!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, his eyes full of fighting spirit, which seemed to come from his bones.
Because the Ming Dynasty was conquered, the Hongwu Emperor was a war madman.
Seeing this, Yuhuatian's eyes softened slightly, and his impression of Zhu Youxiao changed slightly:
"Your Majesty has great talent and great strategy, and I admire you all."
"Okay, stop flattering and get down to business!"
Zhu Youxiao turned around and said with a smile: "Any meritorious service must be rewarded, and any fault must be punished. What's more, you are still mine. You successfully brought back the treasure this time and made a contribution to our Ming Dynasty. I will be able to do more in front of all officials in the future."
Some confidence. Tell me, what do you want? As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you!"
"Your Majesty said something serious. It is your duty as a slave to share your worries with the Emperor. Moreover, I really don't need anything."
Yuhuatian shook his head.
This is half true and half false. He is the emperor's retainer. If he takes the initiative to ask for rewards, it will inevitably reduce his weight in Zhu Youxiao's heart.
And strictly speaking, he really doesn't lack anything now.
Wealth, power, status, he has it all.
The only thing he lacks is the symbol of being a man, and he wants to be the uncrowned king of the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Youxiao couldn't give him these.
"That's not possible. If you have accomplished such a great feat and you don't get a reward, wouldn't it appear that I am too stingy if you spread the word about it without knowing the rewards and punishments?"
Zhu Youxiao was dissatisfied and pondered for a while, then he turned to look at Concubine Wan Gui next to him:
"My beloved, Yuhuatian once served you, and you recommended him to me. You should know him better. Since he doesn't say anything, tell me what would be a better reward for me."
