The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse
Chapter 750: What is Tuoba Di doing here?
"Good news? What other good news is there?" When the emperor heard Chu Chenjing's words, his face was full of confusion. His eyes glanced back and forth between Chu Chenjing and Ning Zhenwu. Could it be that what they just said was not good news?"
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn. All the ministers stared at Chu Chenjing and Ning Zhenwu with curiosity in their eyes. What kind of good news would come?
The capital city of Kyoto was in turmoil a few days ago due to the Second Prince and Prime Minister Xue forcing the emperor to abdicate. The situation had finally returned to normal, but who would have thought that the small country of Danyan would take advantage of the situation and reach out while there were problems within the Western Chu State.
The prince looked at Chu Chenjing's slightly raised mouth, and was sure that this must be a good thing. He knew that his brother was always calm, and if he was not absolutely sure, he would never show such joy. So, he couldn't wait to urge: "Third brother, what is the good news? Tell me quickly."
However, before Chu Chenjing could speak, General Ning Zhenwu excitedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, what this general and Prince Jing seized from the people of Danyan Country this time was not ordinary property, but gold!
There are more than fifty boxes of gold, and one box is as big as this one." He said, gesturing with his hands to show the size of the box.
"What? Gold?" The ministers below were immediately shocked, their eyes widened, their mouths opened as wide as if they could fit an egg. They must have heard it right, more than 50 boxes of gold, that must be a lot!
However, the emperor did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he frowned and asked the two of them, "Gold? Jing'er, General Ning, did you catch the wrong people? Could they be the bank that transported the gold?"
Chu Chenjing said seriously: "Father, don't worry! These people are the ones who disappeared in Xiaoyao Villa and Wuming Valley.
They were spies planted by Danyan Nation in our Western Chu. Their team was clearly an army, and everyone was carrying weapons.
In this operation, we arrested more than a thousand people.”
"Jing'er, are you telling the truth?" A hint of doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he confirmed again.
"Father, what I said is absolutely true!" Chu Chenjing said affirmatively.
"Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. These people are spies from Danyan Kingdom hidden in my Western Chu." Ning Zhenwu also hurriedly said to the emperor.
Hearing the affirmation from Chu Chenjing and Ning Zhenwu, the emperor's doubts instantly disappeared, replaced by an unconcealable joy. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Dozens of boxes of gold! This is undoubtedly a timely help for the empty treasury of Western Chu.
The ministers standing below were also deeply touched when they heard the emperor's hearty laughter.
Western Chu had been plagued by internal and external troubles for many years. The continuous wars with Southern Chu and the occasional frictions with Northern Yue had already stretched the treasury to its limit.
Xue Xiang's faction and the Queen Mother's faction are corrupt. As we all know, the flood in Nanjun Prefecture a few days ago was also paid out of the pockets of Prince Jing and Princess Jing to provide disaster relief.
Although the national treasury had seen some improvement after the criminals were seized last month, how could the emperor not be happy now that there was so much more gold?
After laughing loudly, the emperor said excitedly to Chu Chenjing and Ning Zhenwu: "Good, good, good! You have made great contributions!" There was a hint of tremor in his voice.
The ministers in the hall also echoed, their faces filled with joy. They happily whispered and talked to each other.
The prince's eyes slightly frowned, and he frowned, and said to Chu Chenjing: "Third brother, how could they hide so much gold in our Western Chu country? Where are these people hiding? We didn't even notice it?"
The prince asked all the questions in his mind in one breath. His words also expressed the thoughts of all the ministers and the confusion in the emperor's heart.
Chu Chenjing pondered for a moment, then glanced at everyone and said, "Father, brother, these people came out of the nameless mountain. The source of their gold is still unclear, but it is definitely not brought by them from Danyan Country, and it is definitely not earned by them doing business in our West Chu Country."
Chu Chenjing did not express their speculation in this hall. After all, there are some things that the fewer people who know about it, the better.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and nodded, agreeing with what Chu Chenjing said.
Then Chu Chenjing said: "Father, we haven't had time to interrogate them yet. You will know after I interrogate them."
At this time, Ning Zhenwu also reported: "Your Majesty, these spies from Danyan Kingdom are too cunning. The places they hide are not ordinary, but places we can't imagine."
"General Ning, where are they hiding? It's beyond our imagination?" Hong Xiang was full of confusion.
Ning Zhenwu said sternly, "Some of them are hiding in Ganlu Temple outside the city."
"What Ganlu Temple?" The ministers spoke out one after another, not believing it at all.
Chu Chenjing's eyes were grim, and he dropped another bombshell on the ministers who still didn't believe him: "Do you know that Master Huiyuan in Ganlu Temple is a spy from Danyan Kingdom. He is the man known as the Second Master in Xiaoyao Villa."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall, and the ministers looked at each other in disbelief, which made them even more unbelievable.
"Prince Jing, are you telling the truth? Master Huiyuan is a spy from Danyan?" Minister of War Gu Donghao asked anxiously. His voice was trembling, and he was obviously shocked by the news.
The Minister of Personnel, Lu Yong, also looked at Chu Chenjing in bewilderment, and said in disbelief: "Prince Jing, the Master Huiyuan you mentioned, Master Huiyuan, is he... a spy from the Danyan Kingdom?"
Then, he whispered to himself: "How could it be? How could it be?"
Minister Gu, Minister Lu, I will not make a mistake, the people have been arrested." Chu Chenjing said calmly.
He knew that these ministers had invited Master Huiyuan to visit them for medical treatment and were taking his medicine.
Gu Donghao's face was full of confusion, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice: "Prince Jing, then... then... I have consulted him for medical treatment, there won't be any problem, right?"
"We'll have to wait until I've interrogated him to find out, but don't take the medicine he gave him." Chu Chenjing said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes, Prince Jing, you are right. I will not need the medicine he gave me." Gu Donghao nodded quickly, his face full of panic.
"I don't need it either." Lu Yong also said hurriedly.
When the emperor heard these words, his brows furrowed and he was shocked, thinking that this man had already contacted his ministers.
He immediately ordered Chu Chenjing: "Jing'er, interrogate them quickly. Before the New Year, the prince of Danyan will come to Kyoto. If he knows that those people have been arrested, he may come to us to talk about this matter."
"Your Majesty, I obey your command," Chu Chenjing replied, and then asked, "Father, what is Tuoba Di doing here? I think these people are most likely his people." Then, Chu Chenjing thought of something and understood.
