Chapter 7 A good partner
One million taels is not a small sum.
Moreover, Nie Yao required that the money must come from the new emperor's private treasury, and the national treasury must not be used.
"It's natural."
The new emperor responded calmly.
From the beginning to the end, he behaved generously and straightforwardly. He did not deduct the silver he received for taking the blame, and did not bargain with him when he wanted to mobilize troops.
This gave Nie Yao a good impression of him.
Finally, Nie Yao pointed out a point, "Regarding the ownership of the property after we deal with the Zhang family, does Your Majesty have any opinions?"
The new emperor had no objection.
Let Nie Yao do as he pleases.
Rich people are different. They can easily say no to such a huge sum of money.
The new emperor crossed the bookshelf.
A seemingly random click was made on the wall behind.
"Boom—"
A secret door opened.
The new emperor entered first. Nie Yao didn't know what he meant but he accepted the invitation.
At first, Nie Yao remained vigilant to prevent the new emperor from playing tricks to take him down.
But when you reach the end of the secret passage.
He was shocked.
The whole room was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and many other items that were obviously priceless.
There are too many treasures.
Nie Yao was dizzy.
At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
You know, when the new emperor brought him here just now, he didn't avoid him at all!
The route to here is clearly imprinted in Nie Yao's mind. As long as he wants, he can come and clear this place out at any time.
"Your Majesty..." Nie Yao closed his eyes and told the new emperor with a somewhat resentful tone, "I used to be a bandit, specializing in robbing those rich people with more money than they could spend."
"I know."
The new emperor still spoke in a nonchalant tone, "So what? Nie Qing wants to rob me?"
Not really.
Nie Yao doesn't have this idea yet.
His men were no problem fighting a war, but they were completely incapable of governing a country. In this regard, they were complete idiots.
Nie Yao didn't want to be emperor.
The whole family doesn't want to.
Therefore, as long as the new emperor can let go of the fact that the Nie family is too powerful, they can coexist peacefully.
But from a historical perspective, this is almost impossible.
Therefore, Nie Yao had already made preparations to break off relations with the new emperor and stationed troops in Kyoto. When the new emperor could no longer tolerate the Nie family, it would be the time for a dynasty to change.
"Your Majesty, are you showing off your wealth to me?" Nie Yao asked back.
Show off wealth?
The new emperor was a little dazed. He hadn't heard this word for a long time.
Since the young general left him and went to the border.
And I could no longer hear it.
I haven't seen him for many years, but he is still the same.
Never hide your unusual side.
"Whatever Nie Qing wants, just take it yourself." The new emperor lowered his eyes, and at that moment his eyes, as bright and clear as gems, became a little dimmer.
After that, the new emperor returned to his bedroom alone without caring about Nie Yao.
Nie Yao was a little confused by his action.
You were fine just now, why are you suddenly unhappy?
Why is this guy so moody?
Nie Yao did not take anything from the treasury. He looked around and found no other exit. He could only return to the new emperor's bedroom by the same route he came from.
The new emperor has already gone to bed.
Nie Yao was speechless when he saw this.
——Is he too confident in himself?
Completely defenseless.
What if I'm a traitor? I can easily kill him tonight!
Nie Yao was very disappointed with his friend.
He stood beside the new emperor's bed, bent down and pinched the sleeping person's face.
Smooth and tender.
Just like when I was a kid.
Nie Yao hadn't touched it for more than ten years and became addicted for a while.
He was so absorbed in pinching her that he didn't notice that the pretty face that had just frowned slightly under his hands was actually slowly relaxing under his kneading.
Unconsciously, her fair and tender face was moved towards his hands.
"Very well behaved."
Nie Yao kneaded the boy as much as he could. Surprisingly, no matter how hard he kneaded and squeezed, the boy showed no signs of waking up.
On the contrary, I slept more soundly.
It was getting light.
Nie Yao left the palace and gave orders to Hu Sheng: take two thousand people to the south to serve the new emperor.
Everything he needs to do is in the file.
Nie Yao just needs to give him the things.
"etc."
Nie Yao thought for a moment, then called back Hu Sheng, who was about to leave. "I'll assign you another 20,000 men, and get rid of the remaining subordinates of the former three princes."
The first three princes were once the favorites to succeed to the throne.
Once it was very glorious.
The princes who fought with him were either killed or crippled. But just when he was about to ascend the throne, a ninth prince suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He holds irrefutable evidence of the Third Prince's repeated evil deeds.
Decisively executed the other party.
He defeated all competitors and became the new emperor.
"Sir, are we going to interfere in the affairs of the palace?" Hu Sheng was puzzled.
It is obvious that you looked down upon all the princes before and didn't help anyone.
"What are you doing?"
Nie Yao rolled his eyes. "Do you know how much money the new emperor gave him this time? One million seven hundred thousand taels! Isn't this enough to give him a little favor?"
match!
That’s a perfect match!
Hu Sheng knew best where the silver that his master had embezzled had gone, and he was happier to hear this than if he had gotten a large sum of gold and silver himself.
"Then won't our Moshi County have free schools soon?"
He was so excited.
I wish I could fly to the south right now and kill all those who are against the new emperor.
"Don't worry, sir!" Hu Sheng stood straight and promised on the spot, "Within a month, I will definitely complete the task perfectly!"
"Don't worry."
Nie Yao told him to take his time. After all, there were enough people in the capital with Deputy General Nie. "See if there are any unusual things over there and pay more attention to them."
The person supported by that old guy Sun Ji has not shown up yet.
The southern families gathered.
There should be some clues.
"yes!"
As soon as Hu Sheng left, Nie Yao went home.
The silver the new emperor gave him was too much for him to carry alone. He had to ask people from the palace to bring it back.
"Oh my lord, you are finally back!"
The butler was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear, not knowing what good thing had happened.
Nie Yao: "Stop laughing. The new emperor has given you a sum of money. Send someone to the palace to get it back."
"No need, sir! His Majesty has already sent someone to deliver the money to us!"
"A full 1.7 million taels! I haven't seen so much money in a long time!"
Already delivered?
Nie Yao was slightly surprised, thinking that the new emperor was quite considerate. And he didn't just pay half the deposit upfront, but the full amount in one go.
Cute rich man.
Nie Yao: "Where is the money? Take me to see it."
"Don't worry, sir. The money has been safely handed over to the young master. It will be delivered to Moshi County in half a month at most!"
"What did you say?" Nie Yao stopped and suddenly turned back to look at the housekeeper, "Where did the money go?"
"I gave it to the young master... He said it was the money you promised to return to your husband..."
Seeing that Nie Yao's expression was not right, the butler immediately restrained his smile.
Looking down at your feet means you know nothing.
