Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 612 Tu Jie's Hardships End and His Happiness Comes

Snapped!

"He holds no official position!"

A small stone by the roadside suffered an undeserved misfortune.

"No salary!"

Snapped!

That little pebble suffered a second kick.

The instigator was none other than Tu Jie.

Just as he was about to kick out for the third time, he finally took pity on the pebble and stopped.

“Stone, oh stone, how similar I am to you.”

"The emperor remembered me, then kicked me out of the cabinet. After he used me, he kicked me to the Zhao residence."

"The key is that, just as I can't do anything for this stone of yours, the emperor also gives nothing!"

When he was the Grand Secretary, Tu Chieh almost completely cut off contact with the outside world, and his source of income also disappeared.

But as the Grand Secretary, he couldn't leave anyway, so he just had to endure it.

But now he's out, and his new job is as a spy! He's even going to be a spy for Zhao Zheng!

This is a high-end job!

Tu Jie was surprised that Emperor Zhu Chongba still wouldn't give him anything!

The problem is, if they're not going to give him anything, they're not going to give him anything at all, yet they expect him to be responsible for making money. Isn't that going a bit too far?

Think about it, wait until Tu Jie stands next to Zhao Zheng.

Every official in the court knew that this was the emperor's decree.

Think about it again, how can an openly spies make money? Who would dare to deliver money to them?

Looking at the small stone in front of him, Tu Jie thought for a moment, then his emotions welled up, and he even squatted down, feeling like he was about to cry.

He can't give a stone anything, but the emperor can't.

The emperor can give it or not.

"Lord Tu, let's go quickly."

"If the curfew has passed, it will be too late for you to do anything, sir."

At this moment, Song Zong delivered another fatal blow, leaving Tu Jie trembling with grievance and tilting his head to the side. In the end, he could only return to reality, nod, and take a step forward.

"Lord Tu, please don't feel wronged. This is an extremely good job."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Tu Jie was no longer listening to Song Zong's advice as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard? Advice?

In the past, if Tu Jie had heard a story about someone believing in the Embroidered Uniform Guard and getting good consequences, he would have laughed out loud.

After all, everyone knows what the Embroidered Uniform Guard does, especially since Emperor Song was a newly appointed commander who had suddenly risen to power.

"Don't worry, Lord Tu, I never lie."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Song was still exerting his strength.

Tu Jie naturally continued to disbelieve, only nodding superficially.

It wasn't until they entered the Ministry of Works' camp that they met Zhao Zheng.

......

"Comrade Zhao Zheng, Tu Jie has arrived."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Suddenly, Emperor Song stepped forward from behind, and a group of Imperial Guards bypassed him.

Tu Jie was very panicked, really panicked.

Before Emperor Song and the group of Imperial Guards escorting him spoke, he thought that Emperor Zhu Chongba was finally going to take action against Zhao Zheng.

Tu Jie, on the other hand, will be the headline in tomorrow's newspapers, the one who commanded the operation against Zhao Zheng today.

He took the blame for the emperor, a burden heavier than the sky.

No wonder he got the position of Grand Secretary even after resigning himself; no wonder he didn't give him anything.

No wonder my ass!

Emperor Song and his group of Imperial Guards didn't hesitate at all and immediately submitted their reports.

There was absolutely no truth to the claim that anything was done.

This is clearly the behavior between superiors and subordinates; the Embroidered Uniform Guard is Zhao Zheng's man!

Tu Jie panicked even more. He tried to cover his eyes, but Zhao Zheng was already looking at him, as were Song Zong and the group of Imperial Guards.

There were also countless people coming and going in the Ministry of Works' camp.

He could only open his eyes.

"Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao."

Tu Jie forced a smile that looked even uglier than a grimace.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

He had served as the Grand Secretary for so long, albeit as an acting Grand Secretary, and his power was only nominal. Few of his subordinates listened to him.

But Tu Jie never expected that the world outside had become like this.

Has the relationship between the Emperor and the Zhao family deteriorated to this point?

Why is this not reflected at all in the reports from various places?

The memorials from the six ministries were also filled with an atmosphere of peace and harmony.

Why?

Tu Jie didn't know that the most important thing right now was to save his life.

"Lord Zhao, please rest assured, I am usually very tight-lipped."

"Lord Tu, you're too kind. We're all on the same side, there's no need to talk like that."

Having not seen Tu Jie for many lives, Zhao Zheng truly missed the days when he was reckless and impulsive.

boom!

But when Xu Jie heard those words, they took on a completely different meaning.

They're on our side! Zhao Zheng wants to drag him into the rebellion!

"Lord Zhao, I heard nothing and saw nothing today."

"Lord Zhao, please spare my life and spare my official position!"

When Tu Jie ventured into the Northwest, he sensed Zhao Zheng's treasonous nature, but in the end, Zhao Zheng, that puppet, was gone.

Tu Jie thought it was all in the past; he was just a corrupt official and dared not get involved in those things.

Who knew that the emperor would now hand him over to Zhao Zheng?

But now, this head of the Zhao family has stopped pretending!

Tu Jie didn't think that he would benefit from whichever side won in the end.

Why is the world so difficult!

"A way out? Hahaha."

Zhao Zheng and Song Zong exchanged a glance and then burst out laughing. Tu Jie trembled with laughter and dared not raise his head.

"Lord Tu, you have really misunderstood."

"If the Zhao family were to act like Wang Mang, and all the commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were considered to be from the Zhao family, how could His Majesty possibly have an easy time?"

Silence reigns tonight at the Ministry of Works' camp.

"this......"

After the silence, it was time to give up.

At this moment, Tu Jie finally understood what it meant to be powerless to control one's own destiny.

I understand what 'humility' means.

'Lord Zhao! Do you know what you're saying?!'

"What do you mean by saying that the major commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard are all from the Zhao family!"

However, Tu Jie only dared to say these words to himself.

Back home, he didn't even dare to dream.

"Hehe, Lord Zhao is so romantic, I admire you."

"However, Lord Zhao, let's get back to the important matter."

"His Majesty summoned me here to help you, sir, to fill the vacancies in the Ministry of Works' camp."

"But I currently have neither official rank nor subordinates, and I am truly like a headless fly, not knowing how to fill the vacancy for Lord Zhao."

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Zhao!"

Abrupt transitions aren't scary; losing your life is. Tu Jie closed his eyes and, in the end, chose to follow his heart.

He was still thinking of a more tactful approach.

Zhao Zheng was naturally unwilling.

"There's no need for such a gesture, Lord Tu is a former Grand Secretary. However, I do have a matter that I need Lord Tu's help with."

"Please give me your instructions, sir!"

"The King of Caiyun in the Southwest, the Marquis of Changxing in Liaodong, and the Marquis of Wuding in Qin and Shaanxi—three armies are quietly preparing and heading towards the capital in batches. I want you..."

"what!?"

boom!

Tu Jie, who had just stood up, was so frightened that he knelt down again.

Three armies secretly marched toward the capital, and you still say you didn't intend to rebel!

"Lord Zhao, please stop toying with me."

"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise... I..."

Tu Jie was on the verge of tears, and so anxious that he stammered on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhao Zheng knew best how to treat illnesses, especially Tu Jie's condition, so he didn't bother with further explanation.

clap clap!

A box was carried to Tu Jie and opened.

Nothing is more convincing than this box.

As expected, even though Tu Jie's body was still trembling, it did not affect the forward tilt of his neck.

What will be inside the box?

If it's gold, what weight would it be if two people had to carry it?

If it were silver notes or paper money, how many taels would it cost?

Could it be Wen?

Zhao Zheng is indeed capable of doing all of these things.

"Documents?"

What came into view were documents.

Tu Jie was a little confused and looked up at Zhao Zheng, who smiled and gestured for him to see for himself.

......

"Land deed!?"

"Shops!?"

"Detailed list of factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!?"

After reading through the books, Tu Jie's face showed no trace of panic.

He was now trembling all over, trembling with excitement.

What are gold and silver notes worth!

Each of these documents is worth no less than ten thousand taels of silver!

Most importantly! These documents represent a steady stream of money!

"These things are all yours."
