Chapter 295 Help
Liu Yu waved his hand to drive the eunuch beside him out of the hall, got up and slowly walked down the steps to Jiang Yong.
"Jiang Aiqing is flat."
When Jiang Yong heard the words, he stood up and then looked at Liu Yu standing in front of him with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor."
There was a surprise in Liu Yu's eyes, but there was no leakage on his face. He just asked again, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Yong said, "I dare not be completely sure. However, according to what I know, when I have seven points of certainty, I can be sure that there is a gold mine under the grassland. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain where the gold ore came from in the herdsman's tent. Barbarians are not taught, and most of the goods exchanged on the grassland are priced at copper and iron, without gold and silver. Moreover, they don't know how to prospect, let alone mine alchemy. Therefore, if there is a mineral deposit, it must have not been mined yet. The emperor, the reason why I came back in such a hurry is for this matter!"
"I know, don't worry, I won't punish you." Liu Yu waved his hand to interrupt Jiang Yong's defense and said brightly, "If this matter is true, Jiang Aiqing will have made a great contribution."
"Thank you Lord Longen!" Jiang Yong thanked him loudly and looked slightly happy. It seems that not being punished is what he really cares about.
"I will think about this matter carefully before dealing with it." Liu Yu's eyes calmed down and said to Jiang Yong, "Jiang Aiqing must be physically and mentally exhausted after traveling thousands of miles. Let's go back home early to have a rest. You don't have to be busy going back. I will have a task for you later."
Jiang Yong went out of the palace and returned home to recuperate. Although General Manager Zhang is unconscious, he is still alive. Jiang Yong can see him again several times.
Wen's panic and worry temporarily stabilized because of Jiang Yong's safe return. She began to be busy arranging her husband's daily life. He left for a few months, and when he came back, he not only lost a lot of weight, but also added new injuries. When he comes back this time, I don't know how long he can stay at home. He must take good care of himself.
The next day, Jiang's house was quiet for a day. On the third day, many uninvited guests came to pay their respects in front of Jiangfu.
What a mistake it is for Lord Jiang to leave his post without permission and return to Beijing without receiving the imperial edict? But the emperor brought the man into the palace to look at the folds, asked a few words, and then let him back. He didn't say anything about punishment! How big a royal pet does this have to be?
All the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing were shocked by this. After watching for a day and making sure that the emperor was really not angry with Lord Jiang, the officials' minds began to live up.
Although today, the heads of the six ministries of the three provinces have not changed much compared with the period of the previous emperor. Even the emperor has been very calm in charge of political affairs for the past six months and has no intention of cleaning up the government and the opposition. But in the face of the new emperor, some officials who had been careful were still uneasy. Nowadays, the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty cannot be unstable by the new emperor. But what happens once you get through this difficulty?
Therefore, the new emperor's special preferential treatment of Jiang Yong made some people seem to see a life-saving or developed channel. In front of the Houfu in Zhenbei, it was more lively than ever before.
However, all the worship posts were not even sent in. The marquis of Zhenbei sent a message saying that due to the recurrence of injuries suffered in the war, he would close the door to thank the guests recently.
"Do you think it's too heavy to hang your head around your neck like this for a slave?" Sun Junfeng stared fiercely at Jiang Yong in front of him and asked, "Didn't you say to close the door to thank you? What are you doing here?"
At this time, Jiang Yong's face was ruddy and shiny. Where did he look weak?
"I haven't seen you in a few months. I want to see Brother Sun, so I'll come and see you. As for returning to Beijing, it's not just because of Zhang Yuan. I'm in a hurry to come back for a big deal."
"What's the big deal?" Sun Junfeng collected his anger and asked seriously. He thought he knew something about Jiang Yong. If this person says it's a big deal, he will definitely not be small.
"I found a gold mine on the grassland." Jiang Yong said bluntly, "I went back to Beijing to tell the emperor the news."
Sun Junfeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "No wonder the emperor has always discussed the expansion of military affairs these days. Obviously, the treasury can't support too much military expenses, but it turns out that you brought such good news. However, are you really so loyal to your country?
Over so many years, Sun Junfeng also understood. Jiang Yong is practical and pragmatic. He has never been greedy for merit, but he has only two purposes step by step. One is to restore the former glory of Zhenbeihou Mansion and live up to the name of the descendants of the Jiang family. The second one is for revenge. This person may struggle hard to climb up, but he will not really put the national world in his heart.
Sun Junfeng believes that if the Southern Tang Dynasty is subjugated one day, this person will definitely choose to escape with his wife and children, and will never be loyal to the battlefield. After facing the successive deaths of his close relatives and understanding the pain of loss, Jiang Yong already knew what he valued most. Otherwise, he would not sit here and chat with himself at this moment. After all, the matter of gold does not need to be reported so urgently. He will come back, after all, just for Zhang Yuan.
In the face of Sun Junfeng's questioning, Jiang Yong was not ashamed and smiled calmly: "Haha, of course, I also have my selfishness in doing this. Brother Sun, do you know that my daughter made something called alcohol in Lingnan? Tinger wrote to me that it has a miraculous effect on external injury and is very suitable for military traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is suggested that I also equip the Northwest Army with that kind of so-called medical alcohol. Not only that, the alcohol is actually from the spirits. My daughter can purify alcohol and spirits. In the cold winter, if there is strong alcohol beside them, the soldiers can suffer less from the cold. But you also know that the treasury is not empty now, but it is not full. I was afraid that the emperor did not want to spend money to buy alcohol for the Northwest Army, so he quickly reported the matter of gold. After the court digs out the gold, the Northwest Army will naturally not lack alcohol and spirits!"
Sun Junfeng looked at Jiang Yong with some suspicion: "Are you doing it for the Northwest Army? Or to help your daughter make money?
"Of course it's all for!" Jiang Yongyi replied righteously.
Sun Junfeng shook his head and smiled, "No matter what you do, what you want to do is right and good. Don't worry, I will support it."
Finally got the answer he wanted, Jiang Yong smiled sincerely, got up and bent down to Sun Junfeng and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, brother."
"Ok, let's talk about something else. I'm afraid that if you don't say anything, I can't help throwing you out later. Really, I've never seen such a selfish general like you."
"What the eldest brother said, isn't what I did for the interests of the military in the end?" Jiang Yong said dissatisfiedly, "When I come back this time, I plan to ask to stay at the northwest border gate. Isn't it enough to be selfless?"
"Do you want to stay in the northwest?" Sun Junfeng frowned: "What if you leave your wife and children in Beijing?"
"Isn't this just to beg the big brother?" Jiang Yong bowed to the ground again: "Please help me and let the emperor allow me to take my family to the northwest."
