Chapter 945: Rich Enough to Rival a Nation
Zhu Qisheng nodded affirmatively: "It's definitely still there. My brother's treasure trove is very well-guarded. Without my help, no one in this world can open our treasure house."
Lin Feng frowned: "Treasure house?"
Zhu Qisheng chuckled and said, "Brother, I have followed the emperor for more than fifty years and served two emperors. Can you guess how much money I have?"
When Lin Feng saw him talking about the money in the treasury, his eyes lit up and he knew that there would be a lot of money.
"It's hard to guess the exact amount, but based on my intuition, you must have more money than the emperor."
Zhu Qisheng gave Lin Feng a thumbs up and praised him.
"Brother, good eyesight!"
Then he lowered his voice and said, "It's much more than the richest emperor."
Lin Feng nodded and pondered. The old man in front of him turned out to be the biggest corrupt official in Dazong, rich enough to rival a country. He was the one he was talking about.
"Over the years, I've only saved and never spent, and my money has been growing. Every time we go to the storehouse and see the rows of gold, silver, and treasures, my heart feels warm and happy!"
"But I never expected that the Great Zong Dynasty would reach this point. I thought I would never see our children again in this life, but then things took a turn and I have a good brother like you."
Zhu Qisheng was immersed in his own dreamland and couldn't extricate himself.
"Brother, in this world, apart from you, no one else is qualified to obtain our family's treasure. Just now, I was thinking, these treasures, maybe God gave them to me specially?"
Lin Feng quickly declined: "Brother, I'd better keep this money for your retirement. I'm not short of money."
"What are you talking about? How much can our family spend on retirement? This amount of money is beyond your imagination. Brother, you are a man who can do great things. This money can be of great use to you."
Zhu Qisheng spoke with great sincerity.
Lin Feng was helpless: "Okay, big brother, let's postpone the money issue. Is it time to disband this great court?"
Zhu Qisheng quickly shook his hands: "Brother, we can't disperse. The emperor has instructed that the prince will succeed to the throne and that you will assist him. This man is not dead yet, how can we betray him?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"As the regent, you have to support the crown prince and not lose face for the royal family."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly again: "Face is given by others, but it is you who lose face."
"Alas, the prince is kind, but he has the same temperament as his father. He cannot bear the heavy burden of the great clan court. Brother, I beg you, please help him."
Lin Feng looked at Zhu Qisheng's expectant eyes and knew that this man's loyalty was rare.
"Okay, just for your sake, brother, I agree."
Zhu Qisheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Ever since I met you, I've known that you're extraordinary, brother. One day, you'll soar to the sky. But I never thought that day would come so soon."
As he spoke, he took out a golden plate from his bosom, grabbed Lin Feng's hand, put it in his hand, and squeezed it hard.
"Brother, all the secrets are contained in this gold medal. I believe you can handle it properly."
After saying that, he stood up, smiled gently at Lin Feng, and strode out of the house.
Lin Feng grasped the gold medal that carried Zhu Qisheng's body temperature. It felt heavy, and he knew that what he was holding in his hand was a treasure that was rich enough to rival a country.
Emperor Dazong Zhao Zhen passed away and Crown Prince Zhao Cun succeeded to the throne.
As soon as the news came out, it spread throughout the entire area.
The person who was most sad and upset was Emperor Taisho Zhao Zheng.
Upon hearing that Zhao Zhen had passed away, Zhao Zheng almost fainted and fell off the dragon throne.
Fortunately, a eunuch helped him up, otherwise he would have been injured.
Zhao Zheng finally calmed down a little after being patted on the chest and back by several eunuchs and palace maids. After exhaling a breath of foul air, he immediately slammed the table and cried and cursed.
"You damn Zhao Zhen, you died before I even ascended the throne. You just don't want me to have an easy life..."
He cried and cursed, and his palms became red and swollen from slapping.
The palace maids and eunuchs standing around were all stunned and dared not move, allowing Zhao Zheng to vent his emotions.
After receiving the report, Imperial Master Lan Yu and Prime Minister Miao Changfeng immediately entered the palace and hurried to Chengde Hall.
Seeing the emperor so sad, the imperial preceptor Lan Yu hurried forward.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health. The traitor Zhao Zhen is dead, which proves that Your Majesty's power is unstoppable. The Dazheng Dynasty is as bright as the sun, and all villains are shrinking in the shadows. Now is the time for our Dazheng Dynasty to rise."
Zhao Zheng had almost vented his anger. When he heard Lan Yu say this, his sad and angry voice gradually slowed down and finally fell silent.
After a while.
"Go get me the family tree. I want to see who can still hold their own at the coronation ceremony."
A eunuch immediately ran out.
Zhao Zheng had calmed down. After drinking a few sips of tea, he looked through the family tree of his Zhao family.
"Zhao Zhen is dead, and now his son Zhao Cun is the Great Emperor. At my future coronation ceremony, Zhao Cun should kneel at the head of the table on his father's behalf."
Miao Changfeng immediately nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty is wise. He should be made to kneel at the head."
"Well, Prince Rui Zhao Xun, this guy is said to have gone to occupy the mountain and become king, hahahaha... when he does, he will have to dress like a bandit and kneel beside me."
Lan Yu and Miao Changfeng laughed together.
Suddenly, Zhao Zheng frowned and stared at the family tree, with anger and inexplicable sadness in his eyes.
"That thief Zhao Tianyu is actually included in the family tree. Who gave her the power?"
No one dared to answer.
"If it weren't for this evil woman who stopped me, I might have already ascended the throne and become emperor. It was all because of her that I ruined my plans."
Zhao Zheng threw the family tree in his hand towards His Highness.
"Remember, I must let this thief vent her anger on me. As for how to do it... hehe, you can figure out the method. No matter how embarrassing it is, I like it, hahahaha..."
Lan Yu quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Tianyu is a member of the royal family after all. If she is embarrassed, it will be detrimental to the royal family..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Zheng waved his hand.
"I have already removed her from the family tree. You can humiliate her as much as you want. I want her to regret being born into the Zhao family. There is no benefit in talking too much."
The two princes lowered their heads and remained silent, but their hearts were trembling. They didn't know how Zhao Zheng was going to torture Zhao Tianyu, but the situation looked very bad.
"Miao Changfeng."
"The minister is here."
"Mobilize your underworld forces now and capture this woman as soon as possible within the Imperial City of Kyoto. I will give you credit for your first achievement."
Miao Changfeng quickly bowed: "Your Majesty, I obey your command."
"Also, order Luo Yunfei to mobilize the army and move it south. Those pirates dared to take the southern part of Taisho. They are too bold. Destroy them for me."
Lan Yu immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute. Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army is currently clearing out pirates in the prefectures and counties of the southern Taisho region. Why not let them fight it out and weaken each other? That way, our Taisho Imperial Army can act accordingly."
"Hmm? Imperial Master, what you said... makes sense."
