Chapter 1611 An unexpected surprise!
Looking at Lu Yun who turned around and walked into the palace, King Huai of Chu was completely confused. How could this be different from what Prince Kaiyuan said?
Is the emperor dissatisfied with himself? Is he punishing himself?
The more King Huai of Chu muttered to himself, the more frightened he became!
After all, this treatment is far worse than that of Prince Kaiyuan.
Just when King Huai of Chu was thinking about how to pose for his coffin, Lu Yun strolled out of the palace.
King Huai of Chu almost buried his head under the bluestone slab, with beads of sweat the size of beans pouring down!
The sound of Lu Yun's footsteps was as deafening as thunder to King Huai of Chu.
King Huai of Chu clearly felt that the sunlight shining on his body was blocked, and the tall figure was now standing in front of him.
My heart instantly rose to my throat!
How would the emperor punish himself?
Will he kill himself, will he demote himself to a commoner...
Countless punishments emerged in King Huai of Chu’s mind!
But the waiting time was always so long. Just when King Huai of Chu was exhausted from his internal consumption, he suddenly heard the voice of a servant.
"Master! The emperor is gone! Get up!"
"Gone...?" King Huai of Chu could hardly believe his ears. He looked up hurriedly and found that the magnificent sedan chair was nowhere to be seen.
"Really... Gone!" King Huai of Chu collapsed to the ground as if relieved of a heavy burden, and kept repeating: "The emperor is really gone, the emperor is really gone! Is the emperor...really gone just like that?"
"What did the emperor do in the palace?" King Huai of Chu asked his servants!
"The Emperor emptied the palace's treasury...emptied it!"
"what?"
King Huai of Chu's good mood after surviving the disaster disappeared in an instant!
He finally recovered and shouted angrily to the sky: "Kaiyuan!!! I'm not done with you!"
If he hasn't realized yet that he has been deceived by Kaiyuan, then his role as King Huai of Chu is in vain!
In this way, Lu Yun spent a whole day touring the treasury of all the officials of various ranks in the imperial capital of the West Wind Empire. Without exception, he emptied them all, leaving nothing behind!
Lu Yun even found an unexpected good thing in the treasure house of a minor official.
Lu Yun had bought a lump of wood from a street stall on Dirty Street, and now he found another one.
What’s even more amazing is that when Lu Yun put the two pieces of wood together, the two pieces of wood miraculously merged into one piece, fitting perfectly!
Lu Yun was amazed and his subtle sensation of the wooden lump became a little stronger!
But Lu Yun still couldn't say what this feeling was.
At this moment, all the officials, both big and small, who had been robbed, were heartbroken and swearing while holding jade tablets in their hands!
Without exception, starting from the conversation between Prince Kaiyuan and King Huai of Chu, it was like opening a treasure box.
Repeat the conversation between the two people endlessly!
At this moment, Lu Yun has already strolled into the Imperial Palace, which is Lu Yun’s real destination!
This was also the place Lu Yun originally planned to come to, but those officials insisted on being clever and annoying him, which led him to change his plan, take a detour, and go to the official’s house in person to express his gratitude.
The news had already spread inside the palace, and Wang Gang, the current emperor, had been waiting in front of the palace gate.
Wang Gang couldn't help but feel disgusted with what Lu Yun did, and he agreed with it wholeheartedly, and was even moved to tears!
He ordered someone to restore the 300-word essay that he had burned to ashes last night to its original form!
After all, in his opinion, Lu Yun is his father, so won’t his father’s things eventually end up in his son’s pocket?
Isn't Lu Yun doing all this just to accumulate wealth for him to squander?
"Father! Your son respectfully welcomes you back to the palace!" Wang Gang knelt on the ground respectfully.
Lu Yun still ignored him and had the sedan chair carried over.
"Father! I'm still kneeling here!" Wang Gang was different from those submissive ministers. After all, the person in front of him was his father. No matter how much he offended him, the end result would be a beating.
"I'm not blind! Just kneel down! Think about how you govern the country!"
Lu Yun's words came from the sedan chair. He was really a little angry. In this imperial capital, from the prince to the captain of the guard, all those with a little official position were greedy. The spiritual stones at home were thousands or even tens of thousands of times their annual salary! And this was just the spiritual stones!
In a prosperous capital like the Imperial City, beggars can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. All the people's money is plundered from them!
Wang Gang: “…”
Why is this so different from the scene I imagined of a father and son meeting?
Shouldn't we welcome them excitedly and shed tears on the spot?
How come it has turned into a campaign of accusation against me?
By the time Wang Gang came to his senses, Lu Yun had long disappeared.
Wang Gang suddenly had a bad feeling!
He quickly asked the eunuch beside him!
"Where is my father going?"
"The previous emperor seemed...like he was heading for the national treasury!"
"what?"
These words hit Wang Gang like a bolt from the blue.
Is my father lying in the coffin confused? He doesn't even let his own family go!
Wang Gang stood up from the ground, and his fat body swayed for nearly a minute before he stopped.
"No! I have to stop Dad!"
Without caring about etiquette or manners, Wang Gang went straight to the national treasury carrying the dragon robe.
But he was a step too slow after all. When he arrived at the door of the treasury, he just saw Lu Yun walking out.
Wang Gang fell to his knees and wailed, "Father! You can't treat me like this! I'm your own son! How can you not even let your own son go!"
Looking at Wang Gang rolling on the ground, Lu Yun felt sad for the Xifeng Empire to have such an emperor!
"Tell him why?" Lu Yun looked at Gongsun Leyi and said.
Lu Yun really didn't want to see Wang Gang for even a second, so he simply got into the sedan chair!
Because when he saw his fat face, he thought of those skinny people on the street who were starving. Lu Yun was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and kill Wang Gang.
"Emperor! These are all materials prepared to seal the Demon's Hand in two days! The previous emperor did not want to empty the treasury, but for the future of the West Wind Empire, this is a sacrifice that must be made!"
"What? My father emptied the national treasury?"
Wang Gang only felt that his heart was squeezed hard.
"Dad! Please at least leave some for your son! That's the hand that seals the devil! You're going to kill my son!" Wang Gang wailed while grabbing the sedan chair.
There was only one word in response to him.
"roll!!!"
