Chapter 692 Tianma Golden Chariot
Du Fugong saw Chu Huan's thoughtful expression on his face, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Do you agree to kill them for me?"
Chu Huan raised his head, looked at Du Fugong, and smiled and said, "Lang Shilang and Duke An Guogong are both important officials of the court. Not to mention that I have no intention of killing, even if I really have the intention, I can't kill them." He touched his chin and looked at Du Fugong.
Although Du Fugong explained his origin very clearly, Chu Huan certainly could not believe his words just like this.
Du Fugong smiled indifferently, and his expression seemed to be unreasonable, saying, "Lord Chu is a member of the King of Qi, which is well known to everyone in the court. Duke An Guo is a member of the King of Han, and the King of Han is ambitious and it is self-evident to take the throne. I know that the King of Qi seems to be very close to the prince now. The King of Han has always been close to the enemy, and he is incompatible with the prince. When the King of Qi approaches the prince, he becomes a member of the prince." After a pause, he slowly said, "Lord Chu thinks that once the King of Han gains power, he will let Your Highness of Qi be let go? You are the King of Qi, and the King of Han and Duke An of An will naturally not let you go."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Mr. Du's hard work, Chu Huan knows it. I appreciate your determination to avenge your close friend. It's just a struggle in the court, not just a few words." He stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "Sir, since he has arrived here, then settle down here first. No matter what, it can at least ensure that you won't sleep in the open. Of course, if you like drinking, my mansion will not lack your wine."
Du Fugong frowned, Chu Huan glanced at him and smiled, "If sir, no one will stare at you."
Du Fugong took a deep breath and said, "It is the first priority for people to stand between heaven and earth. Since the contract is in your hands, I will perform my duty."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's so good." After thinking about it, he said, "I don't know where the husband's hometown is. Go back and pay some money first. I think husband's family must be very worried about husband. You can send someone to send them some silver to report their safety."
Du Fugong was stunned.
"Mr. Ouyang is the one I respect. If Mr. Ouyang is really the same as Mr. Ouyang, then character should not be a problem." Chu Huan carried his hands on his back and said slowly: "Mr. is a scholar. It just so happens that my mansion lacks an accountant. And I heard that Mr. has a good handwriting. If there is anything to copy in the mansion in the future, Mr. Ouyang will take care of him more."
Du Fugong frowned and said, "Do you want me to do the accounting?" His eyes were a little surprised.
It should be noted that the accounting office is the general manager of income and expenditure. Ordinary dignitaries will arrange confidants when arranging the accounting officer.
Du Fugong could not have expected that Chu Huan would hand over the position of the account to him so easily.
"Sir, aren't happy?" Chu Huan turned around and asked.
Du Fugong thought for a while and said, "You have to sell your body and I will do what I should do."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "It's so good. If you lack something, just say it out. I will ask someone to arrange a yard for you alone and try not to let others disturb you."
Du Fugong looked at Chu Huan in surprise and finally said, "Don't think that if I do this, I will be grateful to you. I will not tell you the whereabouts of the Peacock Picture."
Chu Huan shrugged and smiled, "Sir, you can forget about this. If Mr. is interested in saying that day, I think I will also be interested in listening, otherwise I will not ask Mr. this question again."
Chu Huan settled Du Fugong and gave some advice to the mansion, then went to the yamen to handle the work.
Ma Hong arranged for Lang Wuxu and Chu Huan to go up a note yesterday, mainly to put forward the Ministry of Revenue’s suggestions on the northwest issue. Lang Wuxu and Chu Huan were of course aware of Ma Hong’s thoughts.
Ma Hong naturally understood that this kind of thing was actually very difficult, and no one knew what consequences would be if the order to rent grain and land was issued. He let Chu Huan and Lang Wuxu enter this matter early, just to be prepared to deal with it in the future. Even if it was really hard to blame, at least he could still push the blame to these two people.
The main thing of the Ministry of Revenue is to deal with the southeast and northwest, while the most important thing of the Ministry of Rites is to prepare for the ceremony of the Tongtian Palace to worship the sky.
Chu Huan naturally learned that in order to prepare for this ceremony of sacrifice to heaven, the court allocated one of the few silver from the Ministry of Revenue. Compared with the war in the southeast, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to think that the silver should be used more for the ceremony of sacrifice to heaven.
The day of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is approaching day by day, and Chu Huan also thought that the emperor would summon him before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. After all, after he returned from Xiliang, the emperor had not summoned him yet.
Chu Huan also hoped to inform the emperor of what he saw and heard in the northwest in front of the emperor. He always felt that since His Majesty the Emperor had once unified the world and had once promoted the prosperity of the country's governance, no matter what, he should be a promising monarch. Although the emperor neglected the governance of the empire because of his dedication to immortality, the empire is now devastated. Chu Huan hoped to see His Majesty the Emperor's current dilemma of the empire and be able to wake up from his dream of immortality.
However, until the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began, the emperor had never summoned him. Perhaps when the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was approaching, the emperor's mind had already been placed on this grand event of the empire.
Tongtian Hall is located in the eastern suburbs of Luo'an City, half a day away from the empire. As early as when the construction of Tongtian Hall started, many roads had already been set up layer by layer. This is the temple where His Majesty the Emperor practices Taoism. In addition to the personnel carrying out the project, idle people should not approach it easily.
Tongtian Palace is expensive, and this palace puts the burden on the empire extremely heavy. When His Majesty the Emperor heard the proposal of Xuanzhen Daozong and prepared to build a large-scale Tongtian Palace in the eastern suburbs of the capital. As soon as this matter came out, countless officials in the court immediately advised him and asked His Majesty the Emperor not to have such thoughts. Some officials even directly accused Xuanzhen Daozong of being a demon who was a devil and misled the country and the king.
Even Duke An Guo, the actual manipulator of the Ministry of Revenue at that time, advised that he should slow down at this time.
In order to practice Taoism and alchemy, the emperor spent a large amount of silver in the national treasury every year. The alchemy was extraordinary. The raw materials were extremely expensive, and there were very few elixirs that could be refined, and even the decayed furnaces often occurred. The so-called decayed furnace was the time to refine the elixir for too long or too short, or the fire was too strong or too weak, which led to the failure to refine the elixir. In ten times, it was only two or three times that could be successfully refined. The cost of each refining the elixir would require at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Once the failure was made, the tens of thousands of taels of silver would be wasted.
After the founding of the Empire, the treasury, which was originally quite full, became increasingly empty because of the alchemy. Moreover, officials from top to bottom plundered the people's wealth and ointment because of this project. The Central Plains dynasty, which had already embarked on the road to revival, instantly declined from prosperity, and the civil taxes increased again and again. The construction of Tongtian Hall caused a serious crisis in the empire's finances. Even the prosperous dynasty did not dare to carry out large-scale engineering construction easily, let alone the Qin Empire, which had already shown signs of weakness.
The empire is now in chaos, and the Tianmen Dao is on the rise. The reason for the return is that the empire's heavy taxes make the people unable to bear it. Under the stricken hunger and cold, the Tianmen Dao takes advantage of the situation.
Tongtian Hall is a majestic temple with a huge area, and even the imperial Chengtian Hall, which has a history of hundreds of years, is only half a size of Tongtian Hall. Every brick, tile, flower and grass here seems to be extremely beautiful, but behind it is made of countless blood and tears. For this palace, the empire has consumed countless manpower, material resources and financial resources. The purpose is just to make His Majesty the Emperor have a temple where he can seek immortality.
Of course, this is not just the blood and tears of the common people.
In order to prevent the construction of Tongtian Palace, countless officials in the court were angered by Long Yan. The emperor started a massacre and was not ruthless. In the emperor's view, stopping the construction of Tongtian Palace was to hope that he would die soon. Such a defiant act would naturally be killed without mercy in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Countless officials were destroyed because of this.
Even after the construction of Tongtian Temple began, countless bones were buried under this magnificent temple. For several years, countless accidents were buried under the palace.
The day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is of course a carefully selected zodiac auspicious day by Sitiantai.
All officials gathered, following the dragon chariot in line from the imperial city and headed towards the east gate. On the road dozens of feet, flags waving, covering the sky and the sun. At the front was a square formation composed of a team of cavalry. All of them were cold and majestic. The soldiers were slowly holding spears, and the two rows held flags, with a solemn expression.
Behind it was another cavalry formation, but the eyes of the armor were brighter. Under the bright sunshine, the cold light shone and was extremely majestic.
The formations of phalanx move forward in an orderly manner, with similar armors, but they are all golden swords and iron armor, full of solemnity and murderous aura. People who see them all feel a sense of awe.
The bright light armor, the black armor, the Qilin armor, the Pixiu flag, the six-mute flag, and the golden dragon flag are dazzling, which makes people dazzling. The officials are arranged according to their level, from front to back, and the entire team appears majestic and majestic.
In the middle of the team, golden light was dazzling, and a golden vehicle was slowly moving, extremely large and magnificent, just like a large golden house slowly moving from the ground. Under the sunlight, the golden car shone with dazzling golden light, colorful and luxurious, and it seemed that the light between heaven and earth was emitted from here.
People even felt a sense of hazyness. The golden light was too strong and very dazzling, and they could not even see the entire outline of the big gold car. However, people could clearly see that the eight snow-white horses were all over the body, and white horses were hard to find, let alone the eight peerless horses with almost the same figure. They did not have a single hair on their bodies, and they were extremely gentle, just like the eight divine horses in the sky pulling the Immortal Palace to the earth.
