Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 737 All Dead! ?

After Xia Ningxiang left, Cai Jing entered the palace and paid homage to Emperor Dajing.

But when Emperor Dajing learned that Cai Jing had arrived, he frowned slightly.

Recently, the Golden Dragon Guards are investigating a case of embezzlement of military pay!

In the opinion of Emperor Dajing, this matter was most likely done by Cai Jing!

Now, Cai Jing came to him, could it be that... he wanted to beg for mercy?

Emperor Dajing smiled coldly and had Cai Jing brought in!

He wanted to see what Cai Jing was going to do!

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

After Cai Jing entered the imperial study, he saluted respectfully to Emperor Dajing.

"Well, my dear, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up!"

Emperor Dajing said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cai Jing returned the greeting respectfully and then stood up.

"Lord Cai, you came to the palace to ask for an audience today, is there something?"

Emperor Dajing asked calmly.

"Your Majesty! I recently heard that Your Majesty is planning to launch an attack on Dakang!"

"I don't know, is this true?"

Cai Jing asked respectfully.

"Well, yes, there is such a thing!"

"What's the matter? My dear Lord Cai, are you here today to give me some advice?" Emperor Dajing said with a faint smile.

In the past, Cai Jing always persuaded Emperor Dajing to pay compensation and seek peace.

Therefore, when Emperor Dajing said this now, he might have been making fun of Cai Jing!

"Your Majesty, I am not good at military tactics, so I will not humiliate myself by offering advice."

"I came here today to donate 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 shi of grain to the court to help Your Majesty conquer Dakang!"

"Um!?"

When Emperor Dajing heard what Cai Jing said, he was stunned!

Cai Jing wants to donate 100,000 dan of grain and 100,000 taels of silver to him! ?

Could it be that he heard it wrong?!

Cai Jing...when did he become so generous!

……

"Lord Cai, are you serious about what you said?"

Emperor Dajing asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, I would never dare to deceive you on this matter!"

"Every word I said is true!"

"As a minister of Dajing, I am willing to make a contribution to Dajing!"

"Your Majesty, please agree!"

Cai Jing said this with a generous look on his face!

That made Emperor Dajing feel a little embarrassed.

However, since Cai Jing had this idea, he naturally would not refuse!

However, if Eunuch Zhang finds out about Cai Jing, he can confiscate Cai Jing's property and exterminate his entire family, and the money will still be his.

If this is accepted now...

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang requests an audience~"

Just as Emperor Dajing was hesitating, Koizumi walked in.

"Master Zhang?"

"Let him in!"

Emperor Dajing's eyes rolled!

If Eunuch Zhang produced evidence of Cai Jing's corruption at this time, Cai Jing would be dead!

He looked at Cai Jing with a look of pride.

But when Cai Jing looked at Emperor Dajing like this, he had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all!

Soon, Eunuch Zhang came to the imperial study.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"No need to be so polite, Mr. Zhang!"

"You came here today, but have you found any clues about the case of embezzling military pay?"

Emperor Dajing asked excitedly.

In the eyes of Emperor Dajing, if he could confiscate Cai Jing's property and exterminate his clan, he would definitely make a fortune!

"Your Majesty, I came here today just for this matter!" Eunuch Zhang said in a deep voice.

"Great! Tell me! What's going on here?!"

Emperor Dajing asked excitedly.

At this time, he was even thinking about taking action against Cai Jing!

But as soon as Eunuch Zhang opened his mouth, Emperor Dajing was stunned!

……

"Your Majesty, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War all committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment!"

"Your humble servant... Your humble servant has failed in his duty!"

Eunuch Zhang said this and knelt on the ground guiltily!

"What!?"

"They all committed suicide out of fear of crime!?"

"This...how is this possible!?"

Emperor Dajing was shocked!

He also wanted to use this incident to get rid of Cai Jing!

Now, all those officials committed suicide out of fear of punishment!

Then how can he take action against Cai Jing?

No wonder Cai Jing dared to come and see him today!

It seems that he had been prepared for this!

Emperor Dajing was angry!

But in the end, I still accepted this result!

By confiscating the property of those officials who committed suicide and adding the money donated by Cai Jing, Dajing should be able to win a great victory this time, right? ?

I don’t know what the situation is with Jiang Chen!

It would be great if Jiang Chen could come back as soon as possible!

He hopes Jiang Chen can manage the logistics!

……

Late night, Yanzhou.

Yanzhou City.

The Eighth Wise King was fidgeting in the room.

I don’t know why, but he always has a bad feeling today!

I always feel that something is going to happen!

Could it be that Jiang Chen is going to attack the city! ?

But this is impossible!

Jiang Chen has been silent!

"Your Majesty! Are you looking for me?"

Just then, Tian Ye came into the room.

"General Tian, ​​please sit down!"

"I am feeling uneasy today. Do you think Jiang Chen is doing something?"

The Eighth Wise King saw General Tian and asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty is uneasy?"

General Tian frowned slightly when he heard this.

Because not only the Eighth Wise King, but even he was uneasy!

But, there is still no news from Jiang Chen!

……

"Your Majesty, there has been no news from Jiang Chen. Some of the spies we sent out have not returned yet. Perhaps... there will be news when they return!"

General Tian said in a deep voice.

"I hope so!"

The Eighth Wise King sighed helplessly.

He felt that Jiang Chen was his nemesis!

Nothing good ever happens when you meet Jiang Chen!

Just as the Eighth Wise King was thinking this, the guards at the door ran in excitedly!

"Your Majesty! Our spies are back!"

"They...they found traces of Jiang Chen's army!"

"Great! Bring him in quickly!"

When the Eighth Wise King heard the words of his personal soldiers, he was extremely excited!

He finally found Jiang Chen's trace!

After a while, a spy was brought in by the personal soldiers!

"I pay my respects to the prince!"

"No need to be polite. I want to ask you, where is Jiang Chen!?"

The Eighth Wise King asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I have tracked down Jiang Chen's army and found them in a forest near Yanshui City!"

"But, that army only has 20,000 people!"

The spy told everything.

"Around Yanshui City!?"

"Could it be that Jiang Chen, that bastard, is going to attack Yanshui City!?"

"I……"

The Eighth Wise King was about to order support, but he stopped suddenly!

The moat of Yanshui City is wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Jiang Chen can't possibly defeat it!

Moreover, Jiang Chen only had 20,000 troops hiding there, and they hadn't made any moves yet...

"Your Majesty, is Jiang Chen trying to lure us out?"

"Isn't his 30,000 men planning to seize Qingshan City?"

General Tian said in shock.

Apparently, he and the Eighth Wise Kings had the same idea!
