When the host talked about food, he was very humane, unlike the otherworldly immortal on Lingxu Mountain.
Perhaps for a master to advance to godhood, they need to experience the flavors of human life, delve into the mortal realm, and see through the complex causes and effects within all beings—causes more intricate than the movements of stars, and emotions deeper than the mysteries of heaven and earth. This profound enlightenment and return to simplicity may be what a divine ruler needs their master to comprehend.
"Little Pearl, you're right. The human world is the training ground! We are both bystanders and participants. Let's give the rulers and subjects of Dayan, and the common people of Dayan, a chance."
【Master, have you agreed to reveal the treasure to the Emperor? Which one should you tell them?】
"Any one will do. Let's give them one and see how they perform. If this money isn't used for civilian or military purposes..."
Instead, some people pocketed it. The Great Yan Dynasty is doomed. Whether others save them or not is another matter; I will no longer care about their lives.
I'll make a fortune stick for you, Master. You can draw any one...
The ruler and his ministers of the Great Yan Kingdom: Is this some kind of childish game? But something is better than nothing.
Dong Qianli had devised various methods to strictly prevent anyone from embezzling even a single tael of silver.
Is this money? This is a test given to them by the Little Immortal Lord. If they do well, there is still hope for Dayan. If they do poorly, they can only pack their valuables and run away or clean themselves up and wait to die!
Clearly, the others understood the reasoning as well. They exchanged glances and all felt that the other person was a burden!
[Alright, Master, one, two, three, which do you choose?]
"Of the two paths of moderation, I choose the second."
[Master, the second half is the Tong family's treasure. Eunuch Qian's nephew came to the capital this time on orders to find outside help in searching for this treasure.]
When Emperor Mingxi and his ministers heard that the Tong family's treasure was the first thing they could hope to obtain, they were all extremely excited.
Mingming was so excited he wanted to burst out laughing and head over heels. But what was he going out for? To dig for treasure!
He also had to force himself to finish attending court so as not to let the two men discover anything amiss.
As for the remnants of the previous dynasty, now that they know these people are still causing trouble, they are on guard and their last resort has been cut off, so they are no longer a threat.
Moreover, now that we know about the Qian family, are we afraid that catching them won't lead to the others?
"They hired outside help? Who did they hire?"
According to records, the people being sought were from the Nanyue region. It is said that the Nanyue people would receive a jade Guanyin statue in the capital city during the Emperor's birthday celebrations this year, and that the Guanyin statue contained a treasure map.
Six months later, they finally found the Tong family's treasure based on the location drawn on the map.
Later, the news leaked out, and inspired by it, Rong Wang's son led a group of people and finally found the key to the old emperor's treasure cave that Rong Wang had hidden more than half a year later.
After obtaining the key, they located the treasure cave through it and successfully used the key to unlock the savings accumulated by the previous emperors of Dayan, which had been left to their son. The total amount was nearly ten million taels of silver.
They used this money to build an army and bribe many officials in the court and local areas, which can be regarded as another death knell for the destruction of Dayan!
The old emperor never imagined that the silver he sent out would become the hammer that shattered the Great Yan dynasty, and that his own descendants would send their dynasty to its demise—how ironic!
Emperor Mingxi's face twitched, both angry and embarrassed. After all, these people were his own father and nephews, all members of the Xie family. No one else would dare to send his dynasty to its grave!
"A Guanyin statue? Could it be the Lotus Guanyin statue from the auction? I felt there was something strange about those people back then."
However, since you know the location, whether or not we have a Guanyin statue shouldn't affect our ability to retrieve the treasure.
Little Pearl, all I can say is that I'll try to leak the news to Emperor Mingxi. But I'm just a child, and my words carry little weight; he might not believe me.
If you don't believe it and miss out on the treasure, then that's none of our business!
This shows that he wasn't destined for this windfall, so he has no one to blame but himself.
The ruler and his ministers of Dayan: You are of lowly status and your words carry little weight. Do you want to see who in all of Dayan has a voice as influential as yours?
To put it presumptuously, even His Majesty's words carry less weight than yours!
Emperor Mingxi: I am destined to have this wealth, and I will listen to whatever you say.
The most shocked person was the Crown Prince, who was present throughout the auction of the Guanyin statue. He never expected that it contained such a hidden treasure map!
If he had known earlier... well, even if he had known earlier, with the free address provided by the Divine Artifact Master, he wouldn't have been willing to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy it.
The more money the Crown Prince has now, the less willing he is to spend lavishly like he used to.
During this period, while he was busy preparing for disaster relief with the Ministry of Revenue, he couldn't help but associate money with rice and flour.
"Hmm, let's give them a chance. If they can't seize it, so be it. Little Bead just had a sudden urge to get involved."
"Find an opportunity to remind Old Qian not to send any more money to the man who killed his own family. In the end, he even got stabbed by his nephew and almost got sent to his death!"
Pfft! Eunuch Qian couldn't hold back and fainted. He recognized the thief as his father and mother, giving them money, food, and everything he owned.
He felt sorry for his parents, brothers, and sister who always carried him on her back.
No wonder his older sister stopped being close to him after he turned five; it turns out that person was no longer his older sister!
A tear slid down the cheek of the unconscious eunuch, Qian Gonggong. He had to find his only remaining relative in the world, his sister Atao, whose whereabouts were unknown!
Yue Fuguang sighed inwardly, hoping that Eunuch Qian could quickly cheer up and go find his sister. The system couldn't help him; he would have to find her himself.
The later account of Qian Gonggong's fainting in the imperial court was that his nephew came to the capital to report the death of his parents, who were ill, and he fainted from excessive grief.
Whether others believe it or not is unknown, but in front of Emperor Mingxi, Yue Fuguang blinked her big eyes and felt very sorry for Qian Gui for a while. She even took out a small handful of gold melon seeds from her purse, saying that they were a funeral gift for Qian Gui's parents.
Emperor Mingxi was so moved that he immediately took out a piece of silver to give as a gift.
The adults who hadn't left also generously donated money. Even though the still-dazed eunuch was unaware of it, he had already earned nearly a thousand taels of silver, which was equivalent to all his savings.
You remember Yue Fuguang solemnly suggesting to Emperor Mingxi before leaving, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Qian is currently overwhelmed with grief, and it may not be safe for him to travel alone. Why don't you send more people to accompany Qian Gui back to attend the funeral? Near his home, well... this 'nearby' is only about a hundred miles away, there is a mountain called Tongming Mountain..."
She also said that when she was in the Taoist temple, she heard from the worshippers that Tongming Mountain was located at the border of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and neither of the two prefectures paid much attention to it, which led to rampant banditry in that mountain range. She suggested that the emperor send people there to wipe out those bandits.
Finally, he added, "Your Majesty, I heard from those pilgrims that the bandits were guarding a treasure in the mountains. Does such a treasure truly exist in this world?"
Emperor Mingxi's expression at that moment... was quite something! His lips were twitching, hahaha!
It's that frivolous, believe it or not!
