Chapter 339 The Fleet Returns
Chapter 339 The Fleet Returns
do not!
Don't impeach!
Lord Chen almost jumped up from the ground.
The wrinkles on his face trembled, and he said righteously: "Your Majesty! I heard that Lord Xu's Women's Technical College was funded by him personally. I admire him for running a women's college with his own efforts. I feel that Lord Xu loves women all over the world. I am determined to donate half of my property to the Women's Technical College."
[Eh! When did you suddenly develop a conscience? ]
Xu Jinyu was a little confused.
[Although I don't know why I have a conscience, but for the sake of half of the family property, I will not impeach him today! I will continue to impeach him if he intends to sell my daughter again.]
Xu Jinyu gave up the impeachment, and Lord Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately! Fortunately! He reacted quickly and escaped the disaster today. But he had to be more careful in the future, because Lord Xu had set his sights on him.
Emperor Xuan sneered, thinking that he was quick to react! Then he looked at Xu Jinyu expectantly.
Continuing to talk about the weird candidates, this project is really interesting. Emperor Xuan originally thought that the officials under him were weird, but it turned out that it was not these officials who were weird, but these officials were weird before they became officials.
They are all unique and peculiar.
[Let me see the situation of Lord Chen's other daughters... The other daughters are still young and have not been sold yet. The daughter that is planned to be sold is the oldest. Her family is also considered wealthy. It's just that he is timid and dare not ask for money, so he plans to sell his daughter to make some money for himself. He is still an honest official.]
The smile on the face of the honest official Mr. Chen was about to turn into tears.
Lord Xu, if you had praised me as an honest official at other times, I would have kowtowed to you, and His Majesty might have looked up to me, but now you say...
[This... He would rather let his daughter suffer for the rest of her life than be a corrupt official. Should I praise him or scold him?]
scold him!
Zuo Xiang shouted in his heart.
As a man, instead of thinking about how to marry his daughter to a good husband, he wants to make money by relying on his daughter. Such a person deserves to be scolded to death!
It’s best to curse loudly so that this person will lose face in the future.
[Why do you need so much money? Is it to please your boss and get promoted? ]
The Minister of Personnel straightened his back and blinked his eyes desperately to tell His Majesty that he was innocent.
He didn’t dare to say he was innocent before, but until now he doesn’t dare to accept any gifts, so he is absolutely innocent.
[Ah, ugh! I was so touched just now. This bastard sold his daughter to redeem a pair of sisters from a brothel. Moreover, the sisters are twins. So his daughter is not as valuable as a pair of sisters.]
"The twin sisters are Ruyan and Ruliu from Chunxianglou. The price of redemption for the sisters is 60,000 taels of silver."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Lord Chen is really willing to exchange his daughter's marriage for a pair of beautiful concubines."
"What he exchanged for marriage is the pain his daughter will suffer for the rest of her life."
····
Where Xu Jinyu couldn't hear, the court officials began to talk among themselves, and all of them looked at Lord Chen with a look that suggested that he was dead.
Lord Chen was so disheartened that he simply sat on the ground.
Xu Jinyu flipped through Mr. Chen's deeds in the system, and his eyes widened as he flipped through them.
[What kind of weirdo is this Lord Chen? He loves to watch his two concubines making love in bed. I've heard that some people like to watch their concubines cheat on them, but I've never seen anyone who likes to watch two women making love together.]
[He watched openly, and when he was in the mood, he asked his concubine to perform some tricks for him. This prevented him from being cuckolded and satisfied his own fetish.]
Emperor Xuan twitched his lips. As expected, his ministers were also weird, on par with those candidates.
[Wuhu... I didn't even notice that the fleet from the Emperor's Pit is back! ! ! ]
Emperor: When did I cheat anyone? Xu Jinyu, don't talk nonsense. It was Prince Yu who broke the law, and his father sent him an apology.
No! Emperor Xuan suddenly realized that the fleet had returned, so it must be like Prince Yu who returned with a full load.
A prince lived a more carefree life than him, and he was deeply envious of him in his heart.
[The fleet returned with a full load, even though they hadn’t traveled too far.]
[Wow! When have I ever seen gems in a frame? There are also pearls, all kinds of pearls, in all colors, black, gray, blue, purple, golden... They are in a bucket used for fetching water.]
[The whole ship is loaded with gold and silver coins!!! There are not enough bags, so we can only pile them in the cabin. I’m rich! I’m rich!!!]
Emperor Xuan's eyes widened and he covered his chest with his hands, his heart beating uncontrollably.
Gems in frames, pearls in barrels, gold and silver in ships, so grand, it's a pity that he had never seen so much money!
The money in the national treasury doesn’t count. Every bit of money that is spent is spent, and the national treasury has never been full.
This time he should put some things in his private library. When he doesn't want to reward others, he has to calculate whether there are so many things in his private library.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xuan looked at the Minister of Revenue with a sharp gaze. The Minister of Revenue was obviously still immersed in Xu Jinyu's words, his face was full of disbelief, and a trace of suspicion ran down the corner of his mouth.
"Report! Your Majesty! The fleet to Southeast Asia has returned!" At this time, the guards responsible for reporting the news rushed into the court room.
"Let someone in quickly!" Emperor Xuan ordered.
After a while, a black egg walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, I have lived up to your expectations!"
Emperor Xuan quickly stepped down from the dragon throne and helped the person up.
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. Daqian is so blessed to have you. Reward!!!"
Heidan, who was helped up, blinked and waited for his majesty's reward.
Emperor Xuan also blinked and looked at his beloved minister in front of him. The two of them looked at each other in silence, with only tears in their eyes.
【Hahaha······】
Xu Jinyu burst into laughter.
[The emperor couldn't recognize the person in front of him. He couldn't watch any more and had to hold hands and look at each other with tears in his eyes. Hahahaha... Isn't it just that he got a little tanned? A little thinner, got a scar on his face, and shaved his head because it was too hot? He couldn't recognize him. ]
[Even if you can't recognize him, you should still remember the people you sent out! ]
Minister of Revenue: “Puff!”
Zuo Xiang: “Puff!”
Right Prime Minister: “Puff!”
······
The embarrassment on Emperor Xuan's face was too obvious. He did remember who he had sent out, but the person in front of him had changed so much that he really didn't recognize him at first.
Although he could no longer hear what was going on, Li Changtian immediately guessed what had happened by looking at the embarrassment on Emperor Xuan's face and the furtive laughter behind him.
"Your Majesty, I, Li Changtian, have come back after going through untold hardships. I have brought back three ships of gems, five ships of gold and silver, and countless other treasures."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll go with you to take a look!"
"I will go with you, old minister!"
·····
In this way, the huge crowd rushed towards the ferry not far from the capital.
When the emperor travels, the streets are naturally quiet, and the people on the dock are blocked behind the guards, but they cannot stop the merchants' fiery eyes.
There are treasures from overseas on nearly twenty ships.
Baskets of treasures were carried down. The gems were placed in frames woven from branches. Some small particles fell out from the gaps, and the crew stepped on them without paying any attention.
Emperor Xuan clenched his fist. That was a gem! Even if it was smaller, it was still a gem. If I put it on my daughter's embroidered shoes, she would smile for a month.
"Squeak!"
Another pink-blue pearl was stepped into the gap between the wooden boards, and the crew member didn't even look down.
Emperor Xuan expressed that his heart ached.
If a pearl were awarded to a concubine in the harem, she would be so soft and gentle that she could ask for whatever she wanted, and the harem would be poor!
Emperor Xuan really wanted to say to these crew members, be careful!
But Emperor Xuan was embarrassed to say it, as a ruler of a country, it would seem petty.
