Chapter 323 No Need to
Return Baili Yunhe smiled, and that smile was like a fox.
"The Imperial Master, don't you think that your father didn't know about our meeting yesterday? We are making it clear today to avoid the emperor from doubting the relationship between you and me."
The old Imperial Master: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the poor monk have nothing to do with each other."
Baili Yunhe explained in a leisurely voice: "It's not okay for you to think so, Imperial Master. You have to let my father see it this way. Now that the Imperial Master's status has risen, you will soon move into the Imperial Master's Mansion. When the officials in the court know that you are such a big shot, they will definitely come to your door to give you generous gifts." However
, the value of the gifts received by the old Imperial Master and the gifts received by him, the Prince of the Eastern Palace, is far different.
He can make a fortune by receiving gifts, but the old Imperial Master can't.
Those officials gave him gifts, and they were definitely just for the sake of their words.
The old imperial teacher smiled with a wrinkled face: "Your Highness thinks highly of me, I am honored."
Now the scene has obviously become a duel
between an old fox and a young fox. Their words are all about testing each other. The two of them talk back and forth, and neither of them reveals the slightest secret.
Baili Yunhe said: "My father has spoken today, forbidding me to give you the silver. If I continue to give you the silver in such a high-profile manner, it will inevitably arouse his suspicion. Then I will say that the Imperial Master agreed on the surface but went back on his word. This will be somewhat disadvantageous to you, Imperial Master."
The old Imperial Master's expression tensed, and his voice was hoarse and low: "Then what does Your Highness mean?"
"As for the silver, since I have agreed, I will not go back on my word. I will just give you 300,000 taels in the first year, and pay off the rest in three years. What do you think, Imperial Master?" "
Three years?" the old Imperial Master asked back.
Baili Yunhe smiled faintly and said, "After all, the Imperial Master also gave An Yunze three years. If I don't give him any time at all, that's not fair." The
old Imperial Master's eyes were as dark as water. He lowered his eyes and put his hands together: "Amitabha, I don't mind waiting for three years."
Baili Yunhe saw the old Imperial Master turning around to leave, but stepped forward to block his way: "Imperial Master, you can't take the silver without revealing any information. At least tell me where Brother Yunze's relatives are?"
"Please don't make things difficult for me, Your Highness. If the million taels of silver are not all in my hands, I won't say a word."
The smile in Baili Yunhe's eyes disappeared.
Gradually turned into a cold deep pool.
"The Imperial Master is not willing to compromise at all?"
The old Imperial Master pretended to be unmoved.
"If the poor monk angers His Royal Highness,
it is up to His Royal Highness to deal with him." Baili Yunhe understood that the old monk would not listen to any soft or hard words.
No matter how he tried, he could not pry open his mouth.
Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
However, what the old Imperial Master did not know was that he would definitely overthrow the entire Southern Qi within three years and take control of all the imperial power in his own hands.
Maybe it would take less than three years .
By then, let alone giving him silver, even if he was asked to give him one million taels in return, the old monk would not dare to say no.
Unfortunately, this matter concerns An Yunze's mood. Even if he can force the other party not to ask for silver, the old monk will eventually kidnap An Yunze in other ways
. The silver must be given, and it must be given in front of An Yunze.
Only in this way can he sever all his favors to the old monk. This matter cannot be discounted. Even if the silver is difficult to get, he can't let Xier be disappointed in him
. Baili Yunhe pondered for a moment and made way.
"Don't worry, Imperial Master. When the silver is ready, I will personally deliver it to you. I hope that I can get a satisfactory answer by then."
Baili Yunhe smiled, and just when the old Imperial Master was about to disappear from his sight, he suddenly raised the corner of his lips and said in his direction.
"I also hope that the Imperial Master will not regret it by then."
The old Imperial Master narrowed his eyes slightly.
Looking at the smiling expression on Baili Yunhe's face, he felt that this young prince was not as simple as he knew. He
was obviously just the son of a general, and he had been weak and sickly since childhood. He should have little knowledge and had not seen much of the world. However, since he came to Southern Qi, he gave people a low-key but mysterious feeling.
It seemed that this young prince always had a calm expression no matter what kind of difficulties he faced.
It was as if everything was under his control.
After Baili Yunhe returned to the bedroom, he was not idle. He immediately prepared a reply letter to An Yunxi and told the other party about An Yunze's affairs in detail.
A secret letter was sent from Southern Qi, and then he began to raise money with all his strength.
Using his knowledge of the ministers in his previous life, Baili Yunhe held the handle of this group of people and plundered all the high-ranking officials in the court
. The officials of Southern Qi complained bitterly, but because the prince held the handle of them, they dared not even fart.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed, and Baili Yunhe raised 600,000 taels of silver
. However, it was still a long way from 1 million taels.
The silver was not something that could be obtained easily. Unless he confiscated the property of those officials, there was only so much money that could be plundered, and it was impossible for each family to prepare a large amount of cash in a short time.
And just when Baili Yunhe was frowning, he received a gift prepared by An Yunxi for him.
Baili Yunhe was shocked when he saw the piles of silver bills worth a million taels neatly placed in a small box that were secretly transported.
He put them away carefully. During this period, even if he used all means, he could only get about 600,000 taels of silver. The rest of the silver was still a long way off. As a result, when he finished writing this letter, Xier prepared all the silver for him.
As long as he took these silver bills, he could exchange them for cash at any bank in the Southern Qi Kingdom.
Next, with this silver as a backing, he could be more bold and let go.
Baili Yunhe smiled lightly as he looked at the box of silver bills.
"Imperial Master, my money is not so easy to come by."
On the day when the money was ready, Baili Yunhe finally decided to visit the Imperial Master in person.
The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is now heavily guarded. The entire mansion is located independently in this quiet east area of the city, surrounded by open space, quietness, and beautiful scenery.
Baili Yunhe's carriage finally stopped outside the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion, and beside him sat An Yunze.
He opened the curtain and glanced at the door of the Imperial Master's Mansion, then looked sideways and smiled gently at An Yunze.
"Here we are, Brother Yunze is going to meet the Imperial Master with Gu."
An Yunze nodded and got off the carriage with Baili Yunhe.
His muscles were tense and his heart was heavy.
From today on, he spends one million taels of silver to cut off the relationship between himself and his master.
The door to the Imperial Master's Mansion has been opened.
A steward came out and personally welcomed the two people inside.
Seeing the big boxes filled with silver being carried in, Baili Yunhe stood at the door and said to An Yunze with a smile: "Brother Yunze, this silver is not mine, but Xier's. She After
hearing what I said about you, she immediately sent money to me and asked me to tell you that you were a member of her family and it was only natural for me to repay her for saving your life. The smile on his face deepened as he looked at the old imperial teacher coming out from inside.
As his mind turned, he had already prepared the way to deal with him.
