Chapter 35 Humph! The Emperor's Ingenuity! It's like no one can play (seeking a monthly ticket)
…
One after another, angry scoldings were heard in the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
The two Celestial Realm guards outside the door were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were trembling.
It's been a long, long time since I heard His Majesty get so angry.
As the saying goes, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger." When the emperor is angry, someone is bound to be unlucky. I don't know who is so short-sighted this time and actually offended His Majesty.
In the Humble Administrator's Pavilion, Lao Yao's heart was beating fast and he was sweating coldly as he listened to the angry rebuke.
Even though he has been with the emperor for thousands of years, it is rare to see him so angry.
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart, that boy named Wang is really quite capable. Not only did he educate Miss Li Yao, Master Zong An and other amazing talents, but he himself is not an easy man either.
However, after all, Lao Yao has been with the emperor for thousands of years, and he still understands the emperor's personality quite well.
If you open your mouth to comfort you at this time, you will hit the emperor's gun, and you will most likely be angered. You can only wait for the emperor to vent and calm down.
as expected.
After drinking tea, Emperor Longchang's expression gradually became calmer, but his half-closed eyes were still gleaming with sternness, and the anger in his heart had obviously not dissipated.
Only then did Lao Yao send someone over to clean the scene, replaced an identical table in the palace, lit the calming fairy incense, and served a cup of Hanyue fairy tea.
Soon, the Humble Administrator's Pavilion returned to its original appearance, as if the mess just now had never appeared.
Emperor Longchang slowly drank fairy tea: "Old Yao, tell me, what should I do with Prince Dexin and Prince Kang?"
"Your Majesty, this old slave is just a eunuch, how dare you discuss the real dragon's family affairs?" Old Yao said with a low eyebrow.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
He knows very well that with his status, he must not make arbitrary opinions, let alone have biased tendencies. He must firmly remember that His Majesty takes the lead in everything. Only in this way can he stay in this position stably and for a long time and survive.
Go down.
"You are just too cautious." Emperor Longchang criticized, "You have served me conscientiously for thousands of years, how could I not understand your loyalty? I have been on the throne for more than three thousand years, and my relatives and friends have long since left me. Now,
, besides you, where else can I find anyone who can tell the truth? Just say a few words casually, and I can get some information."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Yao lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said cautiously, "In the final analysis, this matter lies in Prince Dexin's incompetent education. Your Majesty can summon him to reprimand him and make him take good care of himself.
Reflect on it and revive the family tradition of that line."
"Dexin..." Emperor Longchang had no expression on his face, lightly tapping his knuckles on the desk, and muttered, "This child is ambitious, but not powerful, and arrogant, but not very caring. Let's talk about the last time I met him.
Master Tianhe lost a bet by twenty spirits and was ridiculed a few times. In the end, he turned around and ran away angrily. He was so petty that his style and spirit were far behind him. He was so tired that the kid from Yong'an helped him raise money to pay back the debt.
money."
"Prince Yong'an is still very stable." Old Yao whispered kindly, "I remember that when he was a child, he often came to the palace to be at the knees of Huan Huan. His Majesty really felt sorry for him."
"That kid from Yong'an is indeed kind-hearted, but he was afraid of Dexin since he was a child. Under his education, he became a little submissive and lacked courage and determination. In the end, he couldn't even keep his wife."
Speaking of this matter, Emperor Longchang was still very concerned and said dissatisfiedly: "Thanks to that boy Yong'an who is so stupid and filial, he still thinks he is right. He despises Yingji for being "stubborn" all day long. He relies on his father's authority to force him to control him and scolds and teaches him at every turn.
Trying to turn Yingji into a fool like him who has no opinion and only knows how to obey. Poor Ji'er, not only has he lost his mother since he was a child, but he also has to suffer from Yong'an's insults. If not, how could he run away in anger?
Became a water bandit..."
"Well, Your Majesty." Lao Yao reminded cautiously, "The Jiaolong Gang is also a registered trading firm. Although the young prince Yingji acted impulsively, he also cleaned up the real water bandits in Anjiang, protected the waterway, and allowed the waterway economy to flourish.
Development. Whenever Anjiang floods, the Jiaolong Gang will also contribute money and efforts. It can be considered meritorious..."
"Old Yao, it's really rare for you to say good things to your child. You think you share the same thoughts as me, and you feel sorry for Yingji's child. Don't worry, I have never blamed Ji'er for this matter, otherwise I wouldn't let you secretly
Send someone to help him secretly." Emperor Longchang sighed, but became more and more dissatisfied with Prince Dexin and Prince Yong'an, "Ji'er's mother's qualifications are outstanding, even more than Yong'an. And Ji'er was already a child when he ran away.
The outstanding qualifications of the second-level Tianjiao, if you plan carefully, your qualifications will definitely be improved a lot."
"It's a pity, it's a pity that Ji'er missed a good opportunity due to the discord between father and son. Otherwise, Ji'er may not be able to become the quasi-emperor's son. Although his personality is a bit reckless, in terms of true nature and loyalty, he is exactly the same as me."
"Fortunately, Ji'er was lucky. He met Shouzhe who pointed out a clear path for him. It's good that he doesn't understand the mind and has developed a rough aura. It's better for him to go out and explore than to stay in the temple.
It also saves him from being trapped in the mess and mire of Dexin's lineage."
At this time, Emperor Longchang was like the ancestor of an ordinary family, talking about his distressed children and grandchildren, and worrying about the future of his children.
"Your Majesty, since the young prince Yingji wants to take a pioneering path, should we recall Jiang Yusong?" Lao Yao asked cautiously.
"Ji'er has such a reckless temper that he can easily be plotted by others and suffer secret losses. I feel more at ease when the thoughtful Jiang Yusong is there to protect him." Emperor Longchang's eyes were full of care for his juniors, "
Besides, Ji'er is used to being wild, so someone has to pass on the news to me to prevent him from going too far and making mistakes."
"Here, Your Majesty." Old Yao bent down and responded.
After some chattering, the fire in Emperor Longchang's heart gradually calmed down.
His slightly cloudy eyes seemed to contain strong majesty: "Old Yao, prepare a decree for me. Wu Chengsi, the king of Kang County, has lived up to his holy expectations and personally visited the battlefields outside the territory. He has taken risks with his own life, repeatedly made military exploits, and served the public.
As a model for the royal family, the county prince was given a purple gold crown, a high-quality royal manor, ten souls, and five million gold. In addition, Zhao Shi Yijing was named the second-grade county princess, and she was given a corresponding crown and ceremonial utensils.
They are all fully furnished and furnished. I appreciate this."
"This..." Old Yao was a little confused.
Your Majesty just scolded Prince Kang so much that he wanted to beat him to death. Why did he give Prince Kang such a generous reward in the blink of an eye?
Not to mention anything else, the purple gold crown of the county king with the true dragon talisman on it is a huge honor and favor.
The emperor has been on the throne for thousands of years, but only a dozen or so princes have been able to obtain this honor, and most of them are royal brothers who have the ability to follow the dragon.
The most recent person to have this honor was the late His Royal Highness Prince Hao.
"Old Yao, do you have any objections?" Emperor Longchang took a slow sip of tea, his eyes half closed, looking drowsy, and his tone was neither happy nor angry.
"I don't dare." Lao Yao hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Old slave, I'll do it now."
After saying that, Lao Yao bent down and exited the Humble Administrator's Pavilion little by little.
After leaving the Humble Administrator's Pavilion, he dared to show a slight look of regret on his face. He has followed His Majesty for thousands of years, so he knows His Majesty's personality.
This time, it would be better if His Majesty recalled King Kang from outside the territory and scolded him. At least it shows that he still has high hopes for King Kang.
But now, His Majesty not only did not recall Prince Kang to reprimand him, but instead rewarded Prince Kang and Princess Yijing generously without any hesitation. Now even Lao Yao was a little unsure of what His Majesty wanted to do.
…
A few days later.
There are two major Guogong families in Guilong City. One is the Wang family of Dingguo Gong, and the other is the Zhao family of Anguo Gong.
These two families were the first to follow Emperor Ziwei Xuandu to open up the wilderness. They were the founding heroes. They were powerful and accomplished, and they were the emperor's right-hand men.
Therefore, the founding emperor personally decreed that the dukes of the two major countries were hereditary and continue to this day.
Once upon a time, the two major royal families were both second-grade families with equal strength, prestige, and heritage. However, when the throne changed thousands of years ago, the two major royal families had completely opposite fates due to their different alignments.
Due to the failure to support the new emperor, the strength and influence of the Wang family in Daqian were severely weakened. Over the course of thousands of years, they gradually fell from the second rank to the third rank. They were even at the bottom of the three major third rank families.
exist.
But after all, the Wang family has the title of "Guogong's Mansion". Therefore, when ranking the third-rank families, everyone is still accustomed to ranking the Wang family at the front and calling it "the first among the third-rank families."
As a result, the two third-rank aristocratic families of Daqian Chen and Daqian Gongye were naturally a little unhappy, and some rumors inevitably spread in private.
As for the Anguo Gong Zhao family, because they stood unswervingly behind Emperor Longchang and had the merit of following the dragon, they have grown stronger and stronger in the past three thousand years, and have repeatedly married into powerful people in the royal family.
Today, the Zhao family has become a powerful family with four magical powers.
Moreover, due to the continuous expansion of the family background, the probability of the Zhao family giving birth to a great genius is much greater than that of ordinary third-grade families. On average, a great genius will be born every two hundred years, which can not only maintain four
The magical species change daily, and occasionally there will be one more.
Even if you are an emperor, you have to think carefully if you want to touch the Zhao family, otherwise you may damage the foundation of the royal family if you are not careful.
The main residence of the Zhao family is located in the west city of Guilong City.
It occupies an extremely large area and is almost equivalent to the size of an acropolis. Inside the main house, there are spiritual veins of various attributes crisscrossing each other, and the rich spiritual energy is restrained by the formation.
It achieves dynamic balance in an extremely complex way, just like a man-made small-scale cave.
In this environment, even a mortal can be free from all diseases and easily live over a hundred years.
But in fact, there will never be any real mortals in the Zhao family mansion. Even the boy sweeping the floor and the firewood girl doing rough work are all Xuanwu monks with the bloodline of the Qi Refining Realm.
As for the concierge, Uncle Zhao, he is a secretly-hidden general in the middle and late stages of the Heavenly Realm. Even the guards at the concierge are all Lingtai Mirror monks, and the cultivation levels of the chief and deputy commanders have reached the level of Heavenly Realm.
Early stage.
This kind of monks in the Lingtai realm and the Heavenly realm who can be called the ancestors of the local clan are actually the gatekeepers of the Zhao family! The background of the Anguo Duke's mansion can be seen from this.
But as the saying goes, there are seven ranks of officials in front of the prime minister.
Not everyone can be the concierge and concierge of the Zhao family. Their status is quite high. Many children from low-class families come to visit the Zhao family, and when they ask for anything from the Zhao family, they have to pass their greetings through them.
.
Even if the ancestor of the Zifu Realm comes in person, he still has to be polite to the concierge and secretly stuff a red envelope, which shows how much the Zhao family's concierge has a lot of money.
This day is like any other.
There is an endless stream of people who come to the Zhao family to find relatives, visit, and fawn over. A small half of them are from the sixth and seventh grade small families in Guilong City, and the greater half are from major counties and cities outside Shangjing City.
.
In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who climb dragons and follow phoenixes. The door of the Zhao family is crowded with people and bustling every day.
Suddenly.
A call from a concierge came from afar: "Ms. Yijing has returned home to have a wedding."
As soon as the words fell, the lazy and uncle-like concierges in Duke Anguo's mansion suddenly became energetic. They swept the floor, sprinkled water, and laid out a brand new red carpet. In just a moment, they were ready to welcome the concubine home.
preparation work.
In the distance, a luxurious carriage drove slowly.
Each of the four horses pulling the carriage is a purebred third-level white jade snow horse without any color. The carriage and sedan are made of the finest ten thousand years old pine wood, exuding a light pine scent, which can be used to calm down and concentrate.
It is also extremely light and strong, and in conjunction with the talisman formation carved on the carriage, it can even barely block a blow from a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm!
There were a team of eight guards on each side of the carriage, in front and on the left.
Four of the captains of the guards were all in the realm of heavenly beings. Next to the carriage, there was an old lady in palace clothes strolling along with her.
This old lady looks very inconspicuous, but only a truly strong person can detect the terrifying and powerful aura on her body, and that is at least a strong person in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm.
Such a pomp and circumstance is extremely rare even in Guilong City where dignitaries gather.
Therefore, some visitors from out-of-town aristocratic families could not help but inquire in a low voice: "Honey, is that the royal family's Canglong emblem on the carriage? Is this Miss Yijing the princess of which powerful prince? Is the ostentation so grand?"
The total number of princes in Daqian is quite large, and most of them are concentrated in Guilong City. But not every prince is famous and extremely rich.
There are some declining royal families, and only a few princes and princes are left who can barely keep up their appearance. The talents in the family are also withering, and they all rely on the support of the royal family treasury to maintain their dignity.
This kind of prince, let alone showing off, might become too weak to say anything when meeting a rich, powerful and powerful prince like Prince Heng.
Following the inquiries from out-of-town aristocratic families, the representatives of the local aristocratic families who came to catch the autumn breeze suddenly felt a sense of superiority: "Whose princess is the princess? Haha, of course it is the princess of the Wang family of Kang County, the quasi-emperor's son. Miss Yijing is the current Zhao family. As a legitimate lady, marrying Prince Kang is a powerful alliance."
"If you ask me, the Zhao family is strong! When Prince Kang ascends to the throne of the Great Emperor, looking at the entire Daqian, which family can compare with the Zhao family?"
Amidst many low-pitched discussions, Zhao Yijing was surrounded by the concierge guards and entered the Anguo Palace.
Not more than a moment.
Zhao Yijing met Zhao Chengwen, the current head of the Zhao family, in the study room of the family head.
"Jing'er pays homage to our ancestors."
Zhao Yijing, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, bowed and said respectfully.
"Jing'er doesn't need to be polite." Zhao Chengwen offered her support from a distance and said with a smile, "You are a second-grade county princess conferred by His Majesty himself. Your status is respected and not comparable to that of ordinary county princesses."
Zhao Chengwen is a veteran Zifu Realm monk who has been the head of the Zhao family for two to three hundred years. Now his age has reached more than 540 years old. Even a Zifu Realm monk has begun to enter middle age. status.
Now his temples have turned slightly white, making him look like an ordinary person around fifty years old.
Now the Zhao family has already begun to train the next generation of family heirs. It will only take a few decades for Zhao Chengwen to retire to the second line and become the family elder after he is promoted to the Purple Mansion realm.
"Ancestor, even if Jing'er becomes the emperor and empress, she will still be your Jing'er." Zhao Yijing's voice was soft and crisp. After giving a complete salute, she sat down at the guest seat.
Zhao Yijing was born as a prodigy of the Zhao family. Now, less than two hundred years old, she has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm. Her appearance is still the same as when she was young, but her temperament is more graceful and luxurious, and her aura is extraordinary.
However, she is not in a hurry to be promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm, because the royal family has ancestral rules. After King Kang officially inherits the throne of the emperor's son, as the emperor's first wife, she is qualified to use the royal family's treasury accumulated over ten thousand years, and in heaven In the human realm, he was promoted to the next level of bloodline and became a great genius.
This is for the sake of the future emperor's position as empress. Generally, the emperor's sons will succeed to the throne between four hundred and six hundred years old. However, most monks in the Purple Mansion Realm can only live to be more than seven hundred years old, and few can live beyond eight hundred years old. of.
We can't let a dignified emperor's son succeed to the throne and become the great emperor, but his first wife will either die of old age or become an old woman who is hard to see, right?
Therefore, if the emperor's concubine is not a great genius, the royal family will find a way to make her a great genius at any cost. In this way, she can stay with the emperor for at least a thousand years and assist him in managing the harem and inner palace.
Therefore, the position of the emperor's son is also an extremely important opportunity for the emperor's concubine. Once missed, it will never be available again.
"Jing'er returned to her parents' home this time for Yingji's sake?" Zhao Chengwen, the head of the Zhao family, asked with a smile.
"Old Ancestor." Zhao Yijing said with a slightly resentful expression, "Previously, the two great talents, Prince An and the Wang family, made a fuss in Shangjing City and directly intervened in the dispute between the emperor and his son, which had a considerable impact on the succession.
At this critical moment, how could Uncle Yingji do such a stabbing thing in the back?"
"Ancestor, why don't you write him a letter to reprimand him and tell him not to hang out with the Wang family."
When talking about this matter, Zhao Chengwen's face was also a little solemn: "This matter is complicated. Logically speaking, you are a junior and should not know about this matter. But now it involves the dispute between the emperor and his son, and the scandal can no longer be hidden from you."
"Although Yingji is my sister's son, when Yingji was young, my sister had a rift with Prince Dexin in their educational philosophies, and Yong'an, who was still the prince at the time, did not stand by her.
On the other hand, he scolded her for being ignorant. As time went by, the conflict between Yongan and her sister became more and more serious. Later, after a quarrel, my sister tried to leave with the child in anger, but was intercepted by Yongan's people.
Be careful to get hurt."
"In a rage, my sister went to the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty and has not returned yet. Because of this matter, our Duke Anguo also had a big quarrel with Dexin's family. In the end, His Majesty was alarmed and received His Majesty's Holy Judgment.
He severely punished Prince Dexin and Yong'an, and personally drafted a decree to send someone to my sister Zhao Xiqing to invite her back. However, my sister has had a stubborn temper since she was a child, and she is a proud and arrogant person, so she looks down upon her extremely.
Yong'an is so cowardly that he would rather work alone in the fairy court."
Zhao Chengwen clearly remembered that he even beat the Yong'an County Prince at that time.
"Alas~" When Zhao Chengwen talked about this, his face was still a little unhappy, "Yingji's child has the same personality as my sister. He has been unruly since he was a child. Although he has always been friendly to our Zhao family, he really decided to do something.
Whatever the matter, let alone my uncle, even His Majesty, if he doesn’t issue an edict and forcefully summon him, I’m afraid it will be difficult to get him to turn around.”
"Jing'er, you understand the cause and effect of this matter. Just bear with it and don't take it too seriously. As time goes by, no one will mention the name Long Wuji anymore."
"Sure enough, even our ancestors can't do anything against the wayward Uncle Yingji?" Zhao Yijing felt quite resentful.
This kind of stabbing behavior in the back has done a lot of psychological damage to the supporters of her husband, Prince Kang. Not to mention, many of the royal relatives who support her husband only stand because of Uncle Yingji's sake.
Team, now that he has done something like this, many of the royal family are a little shaken.
"Jing'er, even His Majesty has acquiesced, so don't be too petty." Zhao Chengwen warned, "Do you understand why Your Majesty suddenly rewarded Kangjun Prince's Palace with great fanfare at this juncture? He also gave you the second-grade Princess of the County.
Honor."
"Isn't it to commend my husband for his meritorious service on the battlefield outside the territory? Isn't it meant to be a reward?" Zhao Yijing was slightly confused.
"Of course it's not that simple. How can you get such an honor just by making some military exploits on the battlefield outside the territory?" Zhao Chengwen had a happy look on his face and analyzed it carefully for Zhao Yijing, "The previous person with this honor was Prince Hao. Commander Hao
Who is Wang Na? He is almost a certain successor to the emperor. Whether it is Prince Kang or Prince An, they are far inferior to him."
"Your Majesty must have made a decision in his mind, but he has never really made his attitude clear. Recently, Prince An came up with the 'Dala Desert Development Plan', which caused a lot of fuss and won the support of many aristocratic families. On the surface, it seems to have endless glory.
, but in the final analysis, it still ruins His Majesty’s face.”
"Subsequently, the Wang family brought up the Long Wuji incident, intending to build momentum for the fight for the position of the emperor's son, which was a strategy to win over and divide."
"Originally, our Zhao family was planning to find a way to counterattack, but we didn't want His Majesty to reward Prince Kang directly. Naturally, we made it clear and told Prince An's family that he already had a holy decree in his heart for the position of emperor's son, and asked them to calm down.
, don’t jump around randomly.”
"In addition, naturally he felt a little guilty because of Yingji's incident. So he took advantage of the situation and gave Kangjun Prince's Mansion a compensation to calm the panicked people."
Zhao Chengwen’s analysis is extremely reasonable.
Hearing Zhao Yijing's expression soothed, her nervousness and dissatisfaction disappeared. In the battle between emperors and sons, although His Majesty cannot decide alone, his opinions are extremely important. Some neutral princes and princes will change their minds to some extent because of His Majesty's preference.
"Thank you, ancestor, for the idea." Zhao Yijing was grateful.
"It doesn't matter, we are all a family. His Majesty's signal has been very clear. We must not take any unnecessary actions at this time, lest we accidentally get caught and fall into a passive situation." Zhao Chengwen said with a smile, "
Jing'er, since you have returned to your parents' home, just reunite with your relatives for a while and don't worry about it. When Chengsi returns from the battlefield outside the territory, he will definitely be able to sweep away all the clowns."
"Yes, ancestor." Zhao Yijing was filled with joy.
…
Almost at the same time.
In Baiyunlou, a famous internet celebrity restaurant.
A group of young officials were rearranging and summarizing the account books, and the abacus was clicking very fast.
Stacks of golden tickets, even purple-gold tickets, were piled all over the room in special encrypted money boxes, so golden that they almost blinded people's eyes.
Prince An stared blankly at so many boxes of gold tickets, feeling that he had lived the first half of his life in vain.
I don't know how long it will be.
The officials finally compiled the general ledger and presented it to Prince An and Wang Zongan.
King An Jun glanced at it and almost fainted from the stimulation of the total amount of funds above.
Six hundred and ninety million dry gold.
A total of 690 million dry gold!!
Logically speaking, the raised funds should be able to collect less than 20 million dry gold every year. But there are many wealthy families in the capital who have profound foundations. How can they be so demanding and troublesome year after year?
Most of the aristocratic families have been together for ten years, and a few have been together for fifty years.
For example, the Gongye family and the Wang family both had a lot of friends.
There is also the great emperor who finds it most troublesome. 10% of his shares have been paid for two hundred years at a time, which is about 330 million.
In the words of his old man, take the money and go to the Dala Desert to open up wasteland. Don't try to trick him next time.
Later, according to Lao Yao's private revelation, His Majesty meant that since he was getting older anyway, the money would simply come from the treasury. Whether the treasury would suffer a loss or become poor would have nothing to do with him. If the treasury becomes poor, Let the successor emperor find a way...
Prince An was grateful and felt that what his majesty said was very reasonable, so he readily accepted it.
"Zong, Zong An." Prince An swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, that's a lot of money. I have never seen so much money in my life. I really have the urge to take the money and run away and go to Hanyue Immortal Dynasty to live happily."
Wang Zongan was also in a daze. Although the Wang family in Changning was very wealthy, their annual expenses were also very high.
In particular, his father, Wang Shouzhe, is a man with an extreme lack of security. He likes to accumulate all kinds of trump cards and spends huge sums of money on research and development. This expenditure also accounts for a large proportion.
Therefore, he has naturally seen so much money every time in his life.
But after all, he was the man who oversaw the construction of Qingluo Guard. Over the decades, the total amount of money spent there was astronomical. Compared to Prince An, he was finally calmer.
"Calm down, calm down." Wang Zong'an encouraged Prince An and said, "Compared to the total income in the future, this is just a small amount of money. This small amount of money is only worth two or three magical treasures. It is not worth our money. Run away...
Two or three supernatural treasures, just return them?
Prince An glanced at Wang Zong'an: "Young Clan Chief Zong An, I find that you are quite arrogant now. It seems that your Wang family's magical treasures seem to be many. At present, only Miss Li Yao has one, right? That's still Tianhe. A real person sold the iron and bought it by borrowing money from everywhere. Isn’t this worth taking the money and running away?"
Magical treasure?
When talking about this, Wang Zong'an was also a little speechless. Some time ago, he received news that his precious grandson Wang Anye had obtained two magical treasures at once by breaking an array. One of the swords still had a sword inside it. An old man with a remnant soul who is in the late stage of the magical realm must be worth more than ordinary magical treasures.
Together with Wang Zongan and Prince An, they have been busy for so long, cheating and deceiving his Majesty everywhere, and even cooperated to deceive His Majesty. In the end, the result is almost the same as grandson's casual fight outside the territory...
It's really irritating to people.
"It's not worth running, it's not worth running." Wang Zongan couldn't help but shake his head at this thought, and felt that the 6.7 billion in gold was nothing.
I have a grandson, Wang Anye, who can be worth hundreds of millions of gold.
A group of young and promising officials were so shocked that their faces dropped.
You two big guys took money and ran away one by one, why don't you take them seriously?
But everyone knows that these two big guys are joking. Once the Dala desert reclamation plan is successful, what will this little money mean?
Several officials seriously criticized the bosses' pretentiousness, and then sighed and said: "We are working hard to contribute to the great cadres and build up our foundation. It is not as good as Prince Kang just whitewashing his reputation. Your Majesty doesn't know why. I thought, I actually canonized..."
"Okay, okay, everyone, don't presume to speculate on the holy will." Prince An comforted all the young and outstanding officials, "The first step of our big plan has been a complete success. Next, we just need to do it down-to-earth. That's fine. As for the position of emperor and son, of course, if you can fight for it, fight for it. If you can't fight for it, we must also make Daqian's country strong and able to support more common people."
Under the comfort of Prince An, the officials regained their morale and vitality.
…
Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
Emperor Longchang, who was lying half-lying behind the desk, listened to Lao Yao's report on various aspects of feedback, with a rather playful and playful expression on his face.
"Hehe! He said it as if no one knows how to play the emperor's mind trick." Emperor Longchang was a little proud, "The battle between the emperor and his son is not that simple. Is there any sure-win situation?"
"Wu Chengsi, Wu Chengsi, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. The best education does not come from my reprimands. Only the painful blows from the enemy are the best nutrients for a man's growth."
"If you can understand the true way of an emperor and understand that a great emperor has many things to learn besides the emperor's mental skills, then it is not too late. If you can't grow up, haha~~"
"And you, Wu Mingyuan, little stubborn donkey, don't think that you can make a complete comeback with just a plan to develop the Dala Desert. You have just officially entered the game. The emperor's mental skills, haha, you still have to learn. But , out of your filial piety, I secretly helped you, no, two times, you must seize the opportunity."
"Let's fight, let's fight. If there is no fight between emperors and sons, how can there be any fun to watch? Why did I work so hard back then and almost lost my life to succeed, but you want to reach the top easily?"
"I don't care, as long as I'm still alive, none of you can win so easily."
Emperor Longchang was talking to himself, as if he was very happy and proud of his layout. Anyway, he was old and had the capital to do whatever he wanted.
Old Yao, who was accompanying him, lowered his head and broke out in cold sweat. The emperor's heart was really hard to figure out.
…
At the same time, there was a lot of commotion in the capital city.
Ping'an Town is still like a paradise, undisturbed by the worldly affairs of the outside world.
Children should eat, study, and be beaten. They live and grow happily.
The familiar courtyard is still full of flowers and full of aura, just like a paradise in a cave.
In the pavilion of the small courtyard, Wang Shouzhe played chess with the elegant Jiang Yusong.
The result is self-evident. Wang Shouzhe lost completely in the chess game. After three games, he was completely defeated.
Wang Shouzhe immediately smiled and abandoned his son and said: "Mr. Yusong is so ignorant of the ways of being an official. No wonder he was demoted to a place where bandits like the Jiaolong Gang gather."
His words were as calm and casual as a casual chat.
Jiang Yusong's expression froze, and there was an unnatural flash in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Why can't Jiang understand what the head of the Shouzhe family said?"
"As the saying goes, heroes grow old and beauties grow old, which are all regrets in the world." Wang Shouzhe poured tea for Jiang Yusong with his own hands and smiled calmly, "However, these are not as sad as the end of three thousand years of emperors. The emperor who holds supreme power,
Words can determine the life and death of countless aristocratic families, and their lives will be full of glory. When you are getting old or about to die, although you understand that the transfer of power is inevitable, you will inevitably become more sensitive, suspicious, and moody. Because from time to time, you will feel panic and change.
They have a greater desire to control and want to control all changes in their hands. These are normal human behaviors and are understandable."
"Brother Long has a special identity and has been paid attention to by His Majesty since he was a child. However, he is also a dragon who crosses the river as he pleases and a devil in the world. Your Majesty can place one or more spies beside him, so that he can control his actions and not run away, and can also provide assistance.
It is very reasonable and reasonable for him to secretly help him when he is doing something to prevent him from being plotted against."
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Jiang Yusong's temples.
His fingertips began to tremble uncontrollably, and his heart was enveloped by an indescribable shock and fear.
This Wang Shouzhe is so bold, so bold! He presumes to figure out the holy will, but he actually says it so blatantly!
Moreover, he really couldn't figure out why he was exposed. Could it be that Wang Shouzhe could see through people's hearts?
"You must be thinking, how could I, Jiang Yusong, be suspected if my identity arrangement is so perfect and flawless? Haha, it's actually very simple. There are just a dozen generals around Brother Long. Over the past decades, I have carefully investigated every one of them.
Pass."
"Except for you, the identities of everyone else are more or less ambiguous, and the identities of many people cannot withstand scrutiny. This is human nature, no matter how hard the Jiaolong Gang tries to whitewash it and register it with the government.
, that is also a water bandit organization. Which person with an innocent fortune and a bright future would join a water bandit organization with a bad reputation?"
Jiang Yusong felt a chill in his heart and protested: "Master Shouzhe misunderstood that he once saved me, and I wanted to repay his kindness."
"Yes, this is a very reasonable reason. However, if I am Emperor Longchang and want to restrain and monitor the evil king Long Wuji, I must choose someone who has brains, knows how to assess the situation, and is smart enough to give advice and influence Long Wuji at any time.
Human?"
"It's not that I, Shouzhe, look down on the top brass of the Jiaolong Gang. Except for Mr. Yusong, the other dozen...are not as smart as Brother Long...how can they assume the responsibility of restraint?"
"Master Shouzhe, everything is just speculation. How can we cure Yusong's crime?" Jiang Yusong's face turned pale.
"Mr. Yusong, are you looking down on our Wang family? Since I have already suspected you, you are still trying to find a way to pass the news on our Wang family's territory... or to pass it to Guilong City..." Wang Shouzhe said helplessly
He shook his head and said, "Are you thinking that our Wang family's decades of management have been in vain?"
"Ah!" Jiang Yusong suddenly slumped, and said with a deathly expression on his face, "Master Shouzhe, I am working for your majesty, so please be merciful."
"Don't worry, you are His Majesty's man, why would I embarrass you?" Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I would also like to thank Mr. Yusong for helping to convey the news to His Majesty."
Jiang Yusong's body trembled and he looked at Wang Shouzhe in disbelief: "Did the head of the family tell me on purpose that day to ask me to send back the news? Impossible, impossible. Even if the head of the family doubts me, I may not be with the head master that day.
, that’s why the boss asked me to accompany him on a temporary basis!”
"Is it a spur-of-the-moment idea?" Wang Shouzhe said with a half-smile, "Do you think the part where I was on the edge of the Anjiang River, 'You come up, I come down' was all for nothing? It just made Brother Long worried and suspicious of Shouzhe's meeting.
There will be no secret plot to murder him."
Jiang Yusong was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Wang Shouzhe in shock: "That's it, that's it. The master was suspicious at the time, and I am the most delicate and cautious among the people close to him. Take me with you as a precaution.
Just in case, it’s the most natural and reasonable thing to do.”
"So calmly, you put me in the situation. The meeting at Duanlong Gorge is so important, and I will definitely report it to the summit truthfully... Taking this opportunity, the head of the Shouzhe family can be with your majesty from tens of thousands of miles away.
Applying eye drops to Prince Kang in front of him can also lead to the discovery of me as an insider. Patriarch Shouzhe, this is really a good plan! This two-bird-with-one-stone strategy is so brilliant that Yusong has no choice but to accept it. However, what if the Patriarch makes a mistake?
?”
"Wrong calculation?" Wang Shouzhe said with an indifferent expression, "It doesn't matter if the calculation is wrong. Anyway, the main goal is to capture Brother Long. As for the rest, it is to hunt rabbits with a helping hand."
Hunting rabbits in the grass?
Jiang Yusong was frightened and dumbfounded.
The head of the Shouzhe family actually compared His Majesty to a rabbit... He is so brave, so brave~
