Prince Li's hair was pale, and when he saw Prince Zheng's family crying and miserable inside and outside, he couldn't help but burst into tears, "What is this for? What is this for? We are all a family, why bother to fight like this?" ah?"
"Long live my lord... If you want to make the country strong, just make it strong. Don't you want to attack our family?"
"If a strong country has such a strong method...then this country shouldn't be strong, just do whatever you want! Take me back, have a drink, light up the big smoke...I have to enjoy my death even if I die!"
Tonight, almost all the royal nobles in the capital had a sleepless night. Some cursed, some drank and got drunk, and some smoked cigarettes until they fainted. Tragedies and comedies in the world were constantly being staged, but no one could stop Li Tuo and Yang Zhi. Waiting for someone else’s abacus beads!
Exchanging gold in the capital is a huge project that can only be completed in one day. Prince Zheng's house just shot the first bird. Many other palaces have been surrounded, but they haven't started looting yet!
In a noble house like the capital, if the master is away, all the loyal servants will be in panic all day long! The responsibility for the gold lies with them. Anyone whose home has not been ransacked starts digging into the ground to hide these treasures.
But they knew very well that the gold would be found sooner or later, because the capital's curfew system was strict and the inside and outside were completely isolated. You couldn't sneak it out of the city.
The current hiding is just to delay time, but what makes them even more frightened is how many people can withstand the torture of the real court.
If there are those who hide gold, there will naturally be those who take the initiative to hand it over!
After conveying the order to Prince Zheng, Da Sixi returned to the Gate of Supreme Harmony to prepare for the emperor's mission. However, as soon as he returned to the entrance of the palace, he saw the lights in the palace were brightly lit, and someone was kowtow to the emperor to report something.
Looking through the window lattice, it was none other than Prince Yi of Dun, who had just returned from the front line, and Prince Yu of the Capital Police Bureau. These two princes were the two most trusted by the young emperor among the Eight Banners dignitaries.
"Your Majesty! It is a capital crime for me to go out to inspect the city today and not come back in time to hand over the gold to the court. It is a capital crime... At this moment, I specially brought all the gold belongings of the family to the palace. Please count them and buy arms to suppress the rebellion..."
"Here is the list. The gold is in the box outside the palace. There are 8,351 taels in total... Well, I have already scraped off all the gold on the window lattice of Yin'an Palace..."
Zai Chun looked at King Dun and said calmly, "Fifth uncle...Why are you like this? The court is short of gold and you don't have to scratch the window lattice? This gold is considered a loan from me, not exchanged..."
"When the war is over, I will return your gold with interest!"
King Dun kowtowed and thanked him, "Hey...what did Long live the Lord say? I still know which end is light and which is heavy. The country is the most important. What is gold? As long as the country is stable, there will be more and more gold in the future." !”
"These people also can't think about it. What's the use of guarding these frivolous wealth? The country has collapsed, and there is no gun to protect you. Even if you have a million taels of gold, won't you let others rob you?"
"It's all so stupid... I didn't expect that there would be people trying to get gold outside the customs. That is the food for our descendants. How can we eat the Juehu farmland?"
"Do you think so...Prince Yu..." Prince Dun turned his head and gave Prince Yu a cold look.
Prince Yu was a neighbor of the Chinese embassy, and he was considered cautious in the capital. On that night of the riot, he stood up correctly, gained the trust of the little emperor, and got a job at the capital police headquarters.
The Capital Police Headquarters was actually adapted from the yamen of Jiumen Admiral, and took over the errands of Prince Chun Yixuan!
As soon as King Yu heard about the gold outside the pass, he immediately kowtowed and said, "This slave is guilty of death, it is a capital crime... wu wu wu... I was seduced by Prince Qing, Prince Zheng, and Prince Li six years ago, and I learned bad things!"
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"My slave got greedy... In the past six years, I have received two to three thousand taels of gold sand every year... I spent part of it, and now I still have 7,100 taels of gold sand left in my hand..."
"Including the gold utensils, gold jewelry, golden melon seeds, gold ingots, etc. from the original palace... a total of 12,500 taels... I have donated all of them. I beg your majesty to have mercy... spare me!"
"Slave Lard is deceived... I have such an inappropriate thought, this slave is a bastard..." This King Yu was cruel enough. He stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard, both front and back.
King Dun also yelled at the side, "You have lost your conscience! Are you trying to eat your children and grandchildren? Isn't the errand work of the Capital Police Headquarters enough? Your family's stewards, with your power, can make a profit of just selling drinks in a year." ?”
"Isn't it enough? Your kid has almost tens of millions of dollars in the bank, right? Are you still thinking about this little gold for your descendants?"
"I'm a pig... I'm confused..." Bang bang bang, King Yu slapped himself desperately and said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty! Before Your Majesty promoted me, I was just a poor prince in this capital!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I have no real power, and no one looks up to me. If anything happens, I have to smile and hide behind other princes..."
"I'm so scared of being poor... Wuwuwu... My family, King Yu, has not been very prosperous in the past two hundred years. I'm really scared of being poor!"
Yi Ping's harsh scolding actually meant to absolve him, to help the little emperor vent his anger, and the punishment would naturally be lighter.
Sure enough, Zai Chun coughed and trembled for a while and waved his hand, "Stop pumping, there is blood all over the floor in my palace. I have to clean it up later... You all get up!"
"If you can tell me the truth and hand over the gold, you are much better than those bastards... I don't understand. Are you short of money?"
"Tell yourselves, you are eating the hard-core crops, and I am speculating on your internal stocks in the stock market. Which of your families doesn't have a fortune of several million taels or even tens of millions?"
"Isn't that much silver not enough? Do you have to steal gold? You said ten thousand taels of gold, isn't it just one hundred thousand taels of silver? The price on the black market is only 130,000 or 40,000 taels of silver..."
"I don't understand. You guys have never regarded 130,000 to 40,000 silver as a big sum of money? Sometimes you lose it just by gambling, but I've never seen you so stingy?"
"How come all the gold turns into Grandet when it comes to gold?"
King Yu didn't know who Grandet was, but he understood what the little emperor meant, and he also fell into deep thought: "Ah...yes...ten thousand taels of gold, but only 130,000 or 40,000 taels of silver..."
"Who among us princes is short of this little money? How come when we spend money, two or three hundred thousand are considered small change, but when we spend gold, even one thousand taels of gold feels a little distressed?"
"Even for this little gold, you violated the court's laws and stole gold mines outside the customs? Why on earth is this?"
