Young Master Liu's words made many officials in the palace look confused for a moment, and then their eyes lit up and they looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was sipping tea with a half-smile but not a smile.
This is especially true for Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. If he were not in the cabinet, this old fox would immediately grab Mr. Liu by the hem and start asking questions about the treasure.
"Treasure - treasure?"
"May I ask Your Majesty what kind of treasure it is?"
"Yes, what kind of treasure is it? Why haven't I heard anything about it?"
"Did your Majesty receive a secret memorial from the border general?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the officials with their necks stretched out and their eyes shining, and he gently stroked the tea lid and winked at Song Qing.
"Song Dutong, my throat feels a little uncomfortable. It would be better for you to explain to all my dear friends about this treasure."
Song Qing's eyes wandered for a moment and he coughed lightly.
"yes!"
Song Qing placed the two cloaks on the table beside him and walked towards the map on the wooden shelf.
"My lords, the treasure your Majesty just mentioned was buried on the eve of the Western Turkic Khan Shibismult's defeat at the hands of the former Turkic Huyan Emperor Huyan Yunyao and his flight to Tsarist Russia. A collection of treasures.
It is said that these treasures are treasures accumulated by the Western Turks for hundreds of years. Most of them are gold, silver, jewelry, jade, agate, antique porcelain and other properties that they robbed from the people of our country when they went south to invade the border.
Exactly how many there are, no one knows except Spiethmulter and the soldiers who accompanied him to bury these treasures.
It is also unclear where these treasures are buried in the Royal Court of Spieth or in the Yinshan Mountains.
All I know is that on the eve of Spiethmult's defeat and escape, he led his soldiers and buried all the treasures in his hands somewhere, waiting for the funds to make a comeback in the future.
And this Russian soldier suddenly appeared, and was willing to be driven by Spiesmult to help him regain his throne and rights. In all likelihood, it had a lot to do with these treasures.
His Majesty sent soldiers from the Sixth Guards of the New Army to secretly search for these treasures.
However, the grassland is vast and endless, and the scenery is similar.
Without specific identification, trying to find where these treasures are buried is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The search for the treasure later came to nothing.
However, Spismult was determined to take back his own world, and once again lured Russian soldiers to sneak into our Dalong border, hoping to dig out these treasures.
According to their actions this time, these treasures are most likely buried somewhere in the border between Yinshan Mountain and Spieth Grassland.
Their purpose is most likely to dig out the treasures and bring them back to Tsarist Russia to recruit troops, rather than to declare war on our country when the situation is not conducive to them.
That's about it. "
Song Qing succinctly described what he knew about the situation. After listening to it, many officials suddenly realized.
If, as King Wuyi said, the enemy's real purpose is to secretly dig out these treasures and bring them back to Tsarist Russia to recruit troops and strengthen themselves, then the enemy's various bizarre behaviors will become clear.
They took advantage of the border army's winter recuperation to avoid the cold and regrouped to approach the Spieth Grassland. It was not because they wanted to sneak attack the Dalong soldiers and horses in Xinfu, but because they wanted to secretly take advantage of the heavy snow on the grassland to block the roads and the sparsely populated areas. These treasures were unearthed and taken away secretly.
Wei Yong gently stroked his beard and remained silent for a while, then looked at Liu Mingzhi.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, although I don't know how much these treasures are worth, since Spiesmult has placed his hopes of recruiting troops and making a comeback on these treasures, it means that it is definitely not a small amount."
Tong Sansi, Wei Yong's old enemy, rarely echoed Wei Yong's words: "It makes sense. After all, it is the foundation of a country. Although it cannot compare with my Dalong treasury, it is by no means an ordinary small amount."
Xia Gongming looked at the territory occupied by the Royal Court of Spieth on the map.
"Your Majesty, at that time the Royal Court of Spieth was the only one in the grassland. Although it cannot be said that it could respond to every call, at least it had few rivals.
Over the past hundred years, three generations of Khans from the Royal Court of Spieth have dominated the grasslands. They have repeatedly commanded their troops to invade the border south, kidnapping our people and plundering our treasures.
Even if the tribes that were attached to the Imperial Court of Spieth were divided layer by layer, the treasures in the hands of Imperial Spieth should not be underestimated.
And there are also some properties that were taken away from our border trade in the past.
Although the former Turks were the main beneficiaries, the Western Turks still took advantage of them.
If these treasures can be recovered and put into the national treasury, the people's livelihood of our country will be improved to a higher level.
The old minister dared to say something unpleasant, at least in terms of the construction of His Majesty's imperial mausoleum, it would not be an empty shell just sitting there.
Some of the palaces and pavilions in the palace should also be repaired and repaired.
In terms of people's livelihood and official administration, we can also improve it again. "
“Although money is linked to food, only money without food will make prices inflated among the people, but with money, half of the problem is solved.
The veteran believes that if these treasures really exist, they must not fall into the hands of barbarians! "
Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, narrowed his eyes almost to a slit, rubbed his hands and looked at Young Master Liu cheerfully: "Your Majesty, I agree with Xia Shoufu's suggestion.
It can attract the troops of Tsarist Russia and be used by Spiesmult several times. This batch of gold, silver and jewelry will never be too small, no matter how small it is.
Your Majesty, these treasures were all lost when my dynasty was in decline!
How can the treasure of my great dragon be obtained by barbarians!
Otherwise, where is the power of His Majesty? Where is the dignity of my court? "
"I second my opinion, how can the treasure of our dynasty be allowed to fall into the hands of foreign countries!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, rubbed the stubble on his chin and looked at Lao Jiang with a half-smile: "Oh? What does Jiang Aiqing mean?"
Lao Jiang slammed the table and looked around his colleagues with indignation: "Of course I agreed to the pleas of General Zhou, General Yelu, General Zhebieshu and others.
If you need food and grass, give food and grass, and if you need troops, give them troops!
We must take back our treasure... Uh-huh... The old minister has lost his temper.
Of course, I want to annihilate the enemy forces that dare to invade my territory and show off the power of my great dragon! "
Liu Mingzhi played with the tea cup in his hand hesitantly: "Of course I think so, after all, this is about my face.
But our treasury seems to be empty now! If we use troops frequently, will it waste our people and money too much?
I won't embarrass you, right?
If it's difficult, forget it. "
Lao Jiang's face straightened, and he shook his head resolutely: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is the wealth of the emperor that feeds him, and he shares his worries.
It is the duty of an old minister to relieve His Majesty from his worries.
No matter how difficult it is, the old minister will definitely die without mercy.
Just leave matters such as food, fodder and military preparation to the veteran. Even if the veteran is a trousers man, he will ensure that he will not delay the military affairs.
Insulting His Majesty's power means being in trouble with the old minister.
If I don’t give them a lesson, do they really think that my Dalong territory is their home? Come and leave as you please!
This is simply unreasonable! "
Young Master Liu glanced at Song Qing, who was rubbing his nose and suppressing a smile, and the smile in his eyes flashed away.
"Jiang Aiqing is indeed a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism!"
"Every matter within the department is the responsibility of the veteran minister."
"Where are you?"
"This... I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"The old minister should second his opinion."
A group of officials hesitated a little, but agreed with Lao Jiang's advice.
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly: "That's OK, there is no need to go through all the paperwork, I will just do it!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Military Department!"
"The old minister is here!"
"There is no result yet on the Western Expedition of the Western Army. Just in case, the two little Tsarist Russia and the former Western Turks have been jumping around the border, which will inevitably cause trouble.
You immediately plan to write back to Zhou Baoyu, Ye Baotong, Yeluhu, Zhebieshu and others, just as Jiang Aiqing said just now.
If you want food and grass, give food and grass, and if you need military equipment, give military equipment.
Let them mobilize the troops under their command and the troops under their command nearby, and let me solve the troubles within the border once and for all.
I am waiting for their good news in the capital. "
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
