The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse
Chapter 838: Take action against the Western Chu State?
When Emperor Tuoba Hongjun saw the crown prince Tuoba Di suddenly enter the palace, he was a little confused for a moment. He was very confused. How could Di Er come back so soon? Did he find out the situation of Western Chu?
While the emperor was stunned, Tuoba Di bowed to his father and said in a loud voice: "I, your son, wish you good health. Long live your father, long live your father!"
The emperor finally came to his senses and laughed: "Good to be back! Good to be back! Your mother is still talking about you."
Tuoba Di bowed to the queen again and said, "Your son wishes your mother good health and a long life!" When the queen Wanyan Liqiong saw Tuoba Di, her eyes were already red with excitement.
She choked up and said, "Dier, you're back! Good, good, good! Where's Zhu'er? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Tuoba Di smiled and said, "Father, mother, there is a heavy snowstorm in Western Chu, and the road is not easy to travel. The fourth sister and the envoys are still staying there. When the road is open, they can return to Danyan. Don't worry, the guards will be left to them." Tuoba Di only said a few simple words at the banquet. He will tell his father in detail later.
The emperor nodded and said, "Well, I heard that there was a heavy snowfall in Western Chu. Di'er, I'm glad you're back safely. Go sit down first."
Imperial Concubine Jing, who was sitting next to the Queen, was filled with jealousy when she saw the Queen's face full of joy. Her eyes were about to spit fire at Tuoba Di.
The second prince Tuoba Feng was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw that his father did not blame Tuoba Di. He was about to start a fight, but Tuoba Di clapped his hands.
Tuoba Feng's heart tightened, and he stared at Tuoba Di nervously. What was he going to do? Did he capture my people?
At this time, Tuoba Di's personal guard Tuo Hu walked in from outside the hall. He held a white jade Guanyin in his hands and came to the side of the prince.
Tuoba Di smiled slightly and said to the Queen Mother who was sitting next to the Emperor: "Grandmother, this is your New Year's gift to you."
Tuoba Di looked at the Queen Mother and said respectfully, "Grandmother, I know you usually chant Buddha. I got this white jade Guanyin statue from a senior monk in Western Chu. I hope it will bless you with health and longevity!"
When the Queen Mother saw this white jade Guanyin, her eyes lit up. This white jade Guanyin statue was very delicately carved. Guanyin had a kind face, fluttering clothes, and her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was overlooking the world.
The Queen Mother nodded when she heard Tuoba Di's words, her face full of relief: "Good! Good! Di'er, you are thoughtful."
When the Queen Mother received the jade Buddha, it felt warm to the touch and its texture was as mellow as mutton fat. She loved it so much that she smiled brightly.
Seeing this scene, the second prince Tuoba Feng was even more angry. He couldn't understand why he didn't hurt him at all after sending so many people. Was he rushing back just to give a gift to the queen mother?
The fourth prince Tuoba Lei sat below, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, looking at the third prince Tuoba Fei beside him, and said with a smile: "Third brother, look, the gift given by the eldest brother is different."
The Third Prince Tuoba Fei sat there, ignoring the Fourth Prince's words. He poured himself some wine, raised his glass to the Fourth Prince, and continued to drink the wine in his glass.
At this moment, Tuoba Di clapped his hands again. No one knew what new trick he had up his sleeve.
Four people came in from outside the hall carrying a heavy box and carefully placed it next to Tuoba Di. The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the box curiously.
Tuoba Di raised his lips slightly, bent down and opened the box beside him. Instantly, the glittering golden light blinded everyone's eyes. Tuoba Di bowed to his father and said, "Father, these are my son's filial piety to you."
The entire hall was instantly silent after seeing the actions of Crown Prince Tuoba Di. A box of gold, the crown prince seemed like a different person today. How could he bring it to the palace banquet so ostentatiously? This shocked everyone. How could the crown prince have so much gold?
Gold is very precious in Danyan Kingdom, because there are no gold mines in Danyan Kingdom for a long time. A small gold mine was empty during the time of the previous emperor. Now there is only a little bit of gold sand, but the annual output is very small.
At this moment, the emperor was really stunned when he looked at the box of glittering gold. He was stunned for a long time before he laughed out loud, "Hahaha, hahaha..." Then he asked doubtfully, "Di'er, what are you doing?..."
"Father, I have found some gold, so I hurried back from Western Chu to honor you." Tuoba Di said sincerely.
In fact, no one knows Tuoba Di’s real intention of giving gold to his father.
He knew his father's love for gold, but there was not much gold left in the Danyan Kingdom's palace. The amount in the palace's treasury was not even half of what he had hidden.
As for how much his father had secretly hidden, he had no idea, but it was probably not too much.
Tuoba Di would not use the gold he had hidden easily.
All this gold was obtained by him from outside, and the main ones were the boxes that Pei Er sent him a few times ago.
This time, before the New Year, he heard Pei Er say that more gold was found in Western Chu State. He couldn't wait to get all the gold back during the New Year, so he found an excuse to go to Western Chu State.
But when he arrived in Western Chu, Pei Er had disappeared. He was now helpless and could only painfully take out two large boxes of gold from his dark room, pack them into three slightly smaller boxes, and present them to his father in a high-profile manner.
He did this because he wanted to tell his father and the ministers present, so that they would all know that Western Chu had a lot of gold.
Looking at the box of gold, Emperor Tuoba Hongjun was so happy that he walked down the steps, came to the gold, touched the gold in the box with his own hands, and even picked up a piece to look at it carefully.
He showed a satisfied smile on his face and shouted, "Good, good, this gold is of high quality! Dier, you are really thoughtful!"
Tuoba Di smiled slightly, feeling secretly proud. He saw his father's heart from his father's eyes, and then he said respectfully:
"Father, there are two more boxes. After the palace banquet is over, I will send them to the imperial study for you."
When the emperor heard that there were still two boxes, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he had already started planning how to make all the gold of Western Chu his own.
Those ministers stared at the box of gold and made calculations secretly.
How could Western Chu have so much gold? The prince had only been in Western Chu for a short time, where did he get so much gold? They exchanged glances.
The princes looked at the box of gold with different expressions.
The second prince Tuoba Feng's eyes turned red with jealousy. When he heard that there were two more boxes of gold, he no longer had any intention of targeting Tuoba Di. He was thinking about how he could get the gold from the Western Chu Kingdom.
Then he couldn't help but say to the emperor: "Father, since the Crown Prince said so, should we take action against the Western Chu Kingdom as soon as possible?"
