Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 209 Tomb Robbery

Before Xu Jinyu could finish wailing, Jiang Hai, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, walked past Xu Jinyu.

He snorted heavily: "Hmph! Lord Xu, please be careful when you walk at night next time."

[Ah! Help! He won’t put a sack on me at night!]

Xu Jinyu's face turned pale and he shrank back towards the wall.

Jiang Hai's eyes lit up. It was not impossible. Lord Xu had tricked him into sleeping in the study for so long. He could just give Xu Jinyu a light beating. It shouldn't be a problem!

Jiang Hai clenched his sandbag-sized fist and shook it.

Don't worry! Just be gentle.

The excitement on Jiang Hai's face was too obvious. The guard who was following Xu Jinyu not far behind raised his fist and waved it fiercely at Jiang Hai. The threat was self-evident.

Jiang Hai could only give up the beautiful idea of ​​putting the sack on him.

[It’s over! It’s over! I’ve offended everyone in the court. I’m the first one before me and the next one after me. Let’s play ball!]

Xu Jinyu's wails echoed throughout the entire palace corridor.

It was hard to see that Xu Jinyu was afraid, and the officials also became interested.

The Minister of Personnel walked up to Xu Jinyu and praised him softly, "Lord Xu is truly a young talent. I believe good things will happen to him soon."

Xu Jinyu forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Thank you."

[It's over! It's over! I can't remember whether I pointed out the Minister of Personnel that day. If I did, I would have no hope of getting promoted in the future.]

Xu Jinyu raised his hand and gently slapped himself on the mouth.

【Let you talk nonsense. 】

The officials attending the court pursed their lips to hold back their laughter.

Lord Xu finally realized what his mouth was like.

[Let me see where the Minister of Personnel was that day and whether I called him out.]

The Minister of Personnel flicked his sleeves and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

[The Minister of Personnel hid under the bed in a hurry, and his belt got caught on the bedpost. He was not rescued until everyone else ran away.]

[Since I was under the bed, I must not have shouted. Then why did he say that to me? ]

The Minister of Rites smiled and stroked his beard: "Of course it's because I lost face. When I go home I will have to explain to my wife whether I went to the brothel or not."

Seeing that there were more officials coming towards him, with equally bad looks on their faces, Xu Jinyu anxiously saw an acquaintance of his, Zuo Yuanying.

"Brother Zuo, let's go together."

Zuo Yuanying saw Xu Jinyu walking towards him and felt his knees aching slightly. He would have to continue kneeling on the washboard tonight, so he snorted coldly.

"Brother Zuo..."

Did Xu Jinyu lower her head?

[Is Zuo Yuanying trying to avoid suspicion? I have offended all the officials, so he has to stand with them. Is this how you stand in line in the court? ]

[A few years later, the fearless and upright censor was eaten by a dog.]

Zuo Yuanying gritted his teeth and said: You ate it.

It was because of your shout that everyone knew that I went to Yuxianglou, and my wife was furious when I got home.

He has no chance of entering the bedroom before the New Year this year.

No one wanted to pay attention to her, and finally Xu Jinyu could only tremble and find Wei An who received the same treatment.

The two men stood together, and each of them snorted coldly when they looked at each other.

Things didn't get better until the ceremonial officer arrived and announced the start of court.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

As soon as Emperor Xuan sat down, Princess Changle stood up holding a memorial.

What he was talking about was the matter of Daqian opening a bank. After just a few words, Emperor Xuan agreed to open the bank.

People have even been assigned to organize and build the framework of the bank.

It seems that the brother and sister had already discussed it yesterday.

Bank was an unfamiliar word and the officials below did not object.

Xu Jinyu widened his eyes.

[So why did Princess Changle ask me to come to court? ]

Princess Changle curled her lips: Of course, it is to let you see the consequences of your own misfortune.

Emperor Xuan had a bright smile on his face. Even though Xu Jinyu had cheated him badly, it was a good thing that he gave to the bank.

If the bank can really be built, it will be easier for Daqian to control the local areas in the future.

How should he reward Xu Jinyu?

How about giving some silver? Xu Jinyu loves silver the most.

Give it to her later and let her sing its praises. I am a very generous emperor.

Hmm! Wait a minute. Now I feel sorry for the late nights I have stayed up these days.

After arranging the bank's affairs, other things came next and Xu Jinyu fell into a drowsy state again.

"Tai'an, Tai'an."

I don’t know when Princess Wuyang touched Xu Jinyu’s side.

"Tai'an, I'm bored. Tell me what that angry chicken you're talking about is."

Princess Wuyang was not as sleepy as Xu Jinyu. She had to copy the "Rules for Women" at night and attend court during the day, so she was seriously sleep-deprived.

It takes some courage to sleep during her father's court meeting, so she needs something to wake her up.

After Princess Wuyang said this, Xu Jinyu also became interested in telling stories.

I remember that she was so fascinated by "Ghost Blows Out the Light" that she would watch it without eating or sleeping.

Xu Jinyu directly pulled Princess Wuyang behind a big pillar, and the two of them lowered their heads and began to whisper.

"The Angry Rooster is a rooster that is specially designed to resist poison. You are a princess and you should know how many good things are buried with the kings and nobles."

Princess Wuyang nodded and said, "Of course. The construction of my father's mausoleum has already begun. Some of the burial objects have been sent in. I have seen them. They are all good things."

Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed with a gloating light: "In order to prevent tomb robbers, there are many traps and poisons in the tomb."

"This angry chicken is used by tomb robbers to deal with poisonous substances in tombs."

Princess Wuyang's eyes sparkled. This story was much more interesting than any story about talented men and beautiful women, and she liked listening to it.

But the next moment, Xu Jinyu's voice made Princess Wuyang open her mouth wide.

[I don't know what the emperors of all dynasties were thinking. They buried so many things with the dead, fearing that others would steal them.]

【Throughout the ages, there have been so many emperors, but only a few of their tombs are still intact. Emperor Wu of Han was a man of great talent and strategy, and he expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty by more than double. His contributions will be remembered for generations to come. He is the only wise ruler in history, but unfortunately his tombs were robbed later. 】

[It is said that the rebels took dozens of days to move the things in the mausoleum but still couldn't finish moving them. Unofficial history records that his bones were destroyed and his skull was made into a wine glass.]

what!

The king of a country was treated like this after his death.

The pupils of officials in the entire court trembled.

At an angle that Xu Jinyu couldn't see, Emperor Xuan stood up.

How bold these tomb robbers are.

The faces of the civil and military officials all looked grim. No one wanted to die in peace or have his grave dug up.

Not only will the graves be dug up, but the bodies will also be destroyed by tomb robbers.

[It wasn’t enough to be robbed once. There were three large-scale robberies before and after. Who knows who went there secretly? Poor hero, even his bones were trampled to pieces by others! ]

Princess Wuyang secretly glanced at her father's sullen face and tried to change the subject.

"Hey, tomb robbing is so scary, Taian, let's talk about something else."

Xu Jinyu stood behind the pillar, unaware, "You were the one who said you wanted to listen to Nu Qing Ji, why don't you listen anymore? I want to finish."

"No, I don't want to hear it."

Princess Wuyang kept shaking her head. She was worried that if Taian continued talking, her father and all the civil and military officials would be furious.

"But I want to tell you. You have to listen today even if you don't want to."

Xu Jinyu grabbed Princess Wuyang's sleeve and refused to let go.

Princess Wuyang couldn't hold Xu Jinyu back, so she had to give up. "Go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

"It was the end of the dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, and there was a group of people..."

[Why rob the tomb of a great general of the Yuan Dynasty? You should rob the tomb of the emperor. After all, it will be the Republic of China, and the Qing Dynasty has already perished.]

[They robbed tombs to save people, which is better than warlords robbing tombs to fight.]

[I heard that the remains of Kangxi and his concubines were thrown all over the ground, and Cixi's tomb was also robbed. Just one bead on her crown is worth 10 million. Isn't this telling everyone that if anyone is short of money, come to me?]

[Some people actually went to look for her.]
