Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 69 - Bringing Troops
69: Chapter 69: Bringing Troops?
69 -69: Bringing Troops?
His double-beautiful eyes widened like copper bells:
“What?
You wasteful thing!
You promised to give each person fifty taels of silver?? freewebnσvel.cѳm
Do you know how many people there are in the Right Martial Guard??
Fifty taels per person, do you know how many taels of silver that would need??”
Seeing the Emperor in such an exaggerated state, Lin Yi was truly seeing this for the first time.
And after hearing the Emperor’s words, Lin Yi blurted out subconsciously:
“Uh, about seven thousand people, fifty taels each would be about three hundred and fifty thousand taels…
uh, damn, that’s so much!”
When Lin Yi calculated this number, he couldn’t help but be startled by it.
Oh boy, you don’t know until you calculate it, and it’s shocking when you do!
Although fifty taels per person isn’t a lot, when added together, it’s somewhat astounding.
At this, the Emperor reacted as if his tail had been stepped on:
“Three hundred and fifty thousand taels!!
That’s three hundred and fifty thousand taels!
How could you dare say such a thing?
Do you know how large an amount three hundred and fifty thousand taels is?
Do you know that there aren’t even two hundred thousand taels inside my Inner Hall right now?
You just gave away three hundred and fifty thousand taels in one breath!
How are you expecting me to produce that for you?
Even though there are thirty million taels of silver in the National Treasury now, those old fogeys won’t agree to use it for the Right Martial Guard!”
In a moment, the Emperor’s original excitement turned into a face full of worry.
He truly hadn’t anticipated this situation arising.
Even Lin Yi was also starting to look worried at this point.
Of course, unlike the Emperor who was distressed about the money in his Inner Hall and anxious about where the rest of the money would come from,
at this time, Lin Yi was full of regret:
[This is three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver!
All shiny silver!
How could I just squander it like this?
If it all went to me, wouldn’t I become a landlord directly?
I regret!
I hate!
Humph, it’s all Chen Baicheng’s fault, damn right, it’s all Chen Baicheng’s fault!]
As the Emperor was frowning in thought about how to resolve this matter, upon hearing Lin Yi’s thoughts, he almost couldn’t resist kicking this guy out right then!
Seen shamelessness before, but never such brazen shamelessness!
This guy is truly an oddity!
Seemingly feeling the Emperor’s angry gaze, Lin Yi instantly shrank his neck and then gave a somewhat sheepish smile.
Seeing this, the Emperor grew even angrier, and immediately threw the Dragon Robe he was wearing during the court session towards Lin Yi:
“Are you still in the mood to laugh?
I’m stressed to death!
Now is the time to establish prestige, and if I can’t provide the promised rewards, it might be difficult to convince the people at that time!”
Lin Yi quickly reached out and caught the Dragon Robe, then cheekily brought it to his nose to smell.
Instantly, a special faint scent rushed into Lin Yi’s nostrils.
Making him utterly intoxicated.
This scene directly caused the Emperor to blush intensely.
This guy is a complete rake, never forgetting his true nature at any moment.
However, just as she was about to snatch back her robe, Lin Yi’s voice rang out again:
“Hehe, Your Majesty need not worry about the finances; this small amount of money doesn’t even require Your Majesty’s Inner Hall to contribute.
Moreover, in my opinion, not only will Your Majesty not spend money, but you can also make a small profit.”
Upon hearing this, the young Emperor was stunned, and the hand that was reaching out to grab his clothes suddenly stopped mid-air.
She was really baffled, what did Lin Yi mean by his words?
Why would she even earn silver?
Seeing this, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up, and he reached out to grasp the young Emperor’s pale hand.
The next moment, a scream echoed directly in the Imperial Study Room:
“Damn!
Your Majesty, you’re not playing fair by launching a sneak attack, I advise you to taper off!”
…
A moment later, under the somewhat apologetic gaze of the young Emperor, Lin Yi, like a resentful young wife, led a group of people bustling out of the courtyard of the Imperial Study Room.
It was clear to any discerning eye that this guy was limping as he walked.
Not only that, but he was also grimacing and mumbling something on the way.
If you listened closely, you could hear him saying things about losing his head: ‘Young Emperor, you just wait for me, one day I’ll make you howl in pain!
‘Ouch~ This vicious lass, just touching the hand and she kicks me hard; if she knew about last night…washing your feet, you’d probably go crazy!’
‘Ah, my own woman, a kick is just a kick, hitting is intimacy and scolding is love, let’s just say this is how you show your love…
It’s just tough on me, getting kicked and still having to go do errands for you!’
Back at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, watching Lin Yi grumbling as he left, the young Emperor also showed a face full of sympathy.
I really just reacted instinctively, I didn’t mean to kick you.
Ah, I really shouldn’t be so petty, considering what you did last night was so excessive, I really wouldn’t bear to kick you…
Let’s not mention the thoughts of these two people for now, and just talk about the Right Martial Guard at this moment.
Fan Niu had long been secretly building up his loyal followers, but due to Chen Baicheng’s intimidation, he did not dare to be too overt.
But this time, after his rise to power, he immediately started making radical changes.
As for those loyal trusted aides of Chen Baicheng, it only took a little more than an hour to decisively take them down.
At this time, all of them were beaten half to death and tightly bound in the dungeons of the Right Martial Guard.
Not only that, thanks to Lin Yi’s arrangements, Fan Niu quickly set up a place outside his station to collect evidence of crimes.
But almost an hour passed, there were many onlookers, yet not a single one came forward to report.
In such a scene, Fan Niu felt helpless.
He had already said all he had to say, but no matter what he said, no one dared to speak up.
Just as he was feeling somewhat at a loss, someone suddenly reported that Eunuch Lin, leading a team of several hundred Imperial Guards, had arrived.
This immediately made Fan Niu furrow his brow.
He was somewhat unsure what Eunuch Lin was up to, why he would bring the Imperial Guards over at this time.
Couldn’t it be that he wanted the Imperial Guards to take over the Right Martial Guard?
Could it be that Your Majesty doubted his loyalty?
For a moment, Fan Niu felt somewhat aggrieved.
Taking over the Right Martial Guard with the Imperial Guards at such a time of instability was not a wise decision.
It might just backfire.
However, faithful as he was, even if misunderstood by Your Majesty, he still got up and went to meet Lin Yi.
