Chapter 381: Knowing that you can’t stop it, you still have to stop it
Even though you know you can't stop it, you still have to stop it.
Besides, there is no such coincidence in the world. As soon as Prince Li and Princess Li arrived, every household in the city and the palace were robbed. Everyone is a fool, so it would be strange if they didn't suspect them.
Such a strange thing happened in the capital of Xifeng Kingdom two years ago, so the Emperor of Dongfeng believed that these two people were not thieves, but were related to the thieves.
Murong Li is a prince, so it is not impossible that he has talented people under his command.
Now we are watching them and not letting them transport the things out of the city.
With so many things, it would probably take two or three hundred horse-drawn carriages to load them. Such a large number of things could not be transported out of the city overnight.
The things must still be in the city. As long as we keep an eye on these two people, it is equivalent to keeping an eye on those things.
Su Yue didn't argue with the Imperial Guards after hearing this. She smiled brightly, took Murong Li's hand and said, "Okay, let's go back then."
As they said this, the two of them really went back.
Even if she is not allowed to go out, she can still see it with her mental power.
However, the imperial guard was dazzled by Su Yue's smile, and he stared at the backs of the two people as they left.
Another imperial guard saw that he was still staring at the two men's backs, even though they couldn't see him anymore. He stepped forward and pulled him, and the imperial guard came to his senses and took a deep breath.
Could it be that Princess Li was the reincarnation of a demon? She was so stunningly beautiful that he was stunned by her.
He quickly returned to his position and stood guard at the door. He was still very uneasy, and Su Yue's smile kept appearing in his mind.
Su Yue and the other person returned to the room. She moved Murong Li to a space, and he read a book by himself, while she released her mental power to watch everything in the capital.
The houses she looted last night were now in chaos, with ghosts crying and wolves howling. It seemed that she was in a very good mood.
These people deserve it, for greedily taking so many things.
After looking for a while, she became bored. Su Yue checked the doors and windows of the room. After making sure that they could not be opened from the outside, she slipped into the space to sort out the things she had looted last night.
At this time, the Prince's Mansion was in chaos. The imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital came to treat the prince, prescribed some medicine, and then he left.
There were many precious medicinal herbs on the prescription, but the Prince's Mansion didn't have a single one. There was not even the money to go out and buy medicine. The Crown Princess had no choice but to run into the palace and cry to the Queen.
The queen's palace was also in an extremely miserable state. It was swept clean like a swarm of locusts. Even the dining table and the chairs where she usually sat to receive greetings from the concubines were gone.
When the palace maid came to report that the Crown Princess had arrived, she sent her away without even seeing her.
There is no doubt that they came to her for help. Now the palace is empty and there is nothing. What can she use to get help? Let her ask their mother for help.
She is so worried now that she doesn't care about the prince's life or death. It would be better if he died so that her son can take the throne.
It's ridiculous that a son born to a concubine wants to secure the position of crown prince.
The Crown Princess had no one to turn to for help from the Queen, so she immediately ran to the Crown Prince's mother. When she arrived, she saw that the whole palace was gloomy and gloomy. She then realized that the thief was really cruel. He was so cruel even in the palace, leaving nothing valuable behind.
There was really no other way, so the Crown Princess gritted her teeth and went to find the Emperor. It was no use looking for her parents' home, as it had been robbed clean. There was only one person left in the entire mansion, and her father and mother were so angry that they just lay in bed.
The emperor was meeting with the imperial teacher at that moment. When he heard that the crown princess was coming, he directly refused. He was talking to the imperial teacher at a critical moment and could not afford to be distracted.
Eunuch Li could not bear to see this and took out 1,000 taels of silver from his private treasury and gave it to the Crown Princess. Only then did she hurried out of the palace with the silver note and rush to get medicine from the Crown Prince.
The Imperial Hospital has medicinal materials, but they also need to be purchased with silver. I also heard that yesterday, some ministers in the court and some imperial guards in the palace were killed or injured, and the Imperial Hospital’s medicinal materials are almost used up. There is not enough medicine left. Otherwise, the imperial physicians would also go back to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine. Even if they don’t have silver to pay, they can still buy on credit first.
Su Yue did not take the medicinal herbs from the Imperial Hospital. She knew that they were life-saving things. She was greedy for money, but she would not be so greedy as to be completely inhumane.
Those ministers who were injured yesterday, as well as the guards in the palace, would have been waiting to die if they had not had the medicines from the Imperial Hospital, so she was very merciful and left the medicines behind.
In fact, there are not many medicinal herbs left.
At this time, in the royal room of Emperor Dong Feng, an old Taoist priest with a white beard and an immortal appearance was sitting opposite the emperor. He was wearing a white robe, with snow-white hair and beard. He was calculating with his eyes closed.
Dong Fenghuang, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him anxiously.
After a while, the Imperial Master opened his eyes. His gaze was dark and unclear. He looked at Emperor Dongfeng and said, "Your Majesty, I advise you to abandon your plan to conquer the Three Kingdoms."
"Why? Is it because of the theft and the incident with Prince Li of Xifeng?"
Emperor Dong Feng looked at the Imperial Master with a gloomy gaze, feeling extremely dissatisfied with him. The Imperial Masters of other countries all gave advice to their kings, but his Imperial Master just kept advising him not to conquer the Three Kingdoms and not to unify the world, saying that it would only increase the killing and would not succeed.
That's bullshit. His country of Dongfeng is rich and powerful, with strong soldiers and horses. How can he not unify the world?
The national teacher sighed. This Dong Fenghuang was really stubborn. He was speechless. He had calculated long ago that if Dong Fenghuang wanted to unify the world, he would only end up in failure. Sure enough, he was defeated as soon as he started the war.
The Imperial Preceptor nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty's desire to unify the country is closely related to this theft and Prince Li of Xifeng. If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, I'm afraid the country will be destroyed."
Eighty to ninety percent of the wealth in the entire capital was stolen, and the palace was also robbed. The lost wealth was comparable to the national treasury.
Now all that is left is the little that is in the national treasury, and the one million taels of gold that have to be paid as compensation to the Kingdom of Xifeng have to be deducted, and the capital is left with only an empty shell.
Fighting a war requires manpower and material resources, none of which can be missing, otherwise what can we use to fight?
Isn’t this related to the emperor’s wars in the Three Kingdoms period? The emperor couldn’t figure it out.
Dongfeng State has more than just the capital, but this is the place where power and wealth are concentrated. Collecting wealth in other places will hurt the country and the people, and may even cause civil unrest.
Didn’t these emperors think about it?
And that Prince Li overthrew the entire Dongfeng court with the strength of two people. Is this person just an ordinary person?
Moreover, in the first battle against the Western Feng Kingdom, General Wu was captured and his life or death is unknown now. Who else can be the emperor's vanguard?
"What nonsense! I think you are talking nonsense. You might as well quit being the Imperial Master. You are just causing trouble for me."
