supreme heaven

In the 44th year of Wulie, in the midsummer of July, Yunjing in the north also felt a sense of warmth.For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit www.

During this month, two big things happened. Since it happened in Yunjing, the political, economic and cultural center of the Shengtian Dynasty, the first thing was naturally related to politics. The first thing that was discussed in the teahouses on the streets, In fact, all dynasties have been talking about it, but it has been talked about for thousands of years, and the enthusiasm has not diminished, and each generation has a different version, that is, "country-based".

The issue of "national capital" does not refer to the country's account books in the literal sense, but refers to the issue of the heirs of the country. To put it bluntly, it is the issue of establishing a reserve!

Then why did His Majesty Wu Lie not bring it up during the 40-odd years of his reign, and it became a hot topic in Yunjing City. In the midsummer of July, it suddenly spread wildly in the streets and alleys? The reason is because June is coming soon. When it came to the end, an incredible event happened in the court!

At this time, in the largest north-south teahouse in Yunjing City, there was a lot of voices, and the people in the lowest class were mostly street people in Gebu jackets, who would usually sit down and pay a few copper coins for a large bowl of herbal tea. , "Gudong Gudong" the ground cow drank cleanly, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and left in a hurry, even the poor Confucian scholars in long gowns were unwilling to sit with them.

However, the second floor is much more elegant. Most of them are well-dressed scholars, sitting opposite each other, cooking tea and discussing Taoism. It has become the center of public opinion in Yunjing City, but any hot topic within a radius of three hundred miles cannot be heard here.

Sure enough, in the compartment on the second floor of the Nanbei Teahouse today, no matter whether it was a nobleman in luxurious clothes or a Confucian scholar in a long gown, the things they talked about were...

"Brother Zhao, have you heard about that incident?"

"Brother Qian is talking about the matter of Binggehouchaotang to consult with His Majesty to establish a regent?"

"That's right... that's the matter." The nobleman who brought up this matter raised the teapot and poured some hot water into his own teacup, then added some to the other's teacup, put down the teapot, and said: "Brother Qian, forgive me for my ignorance, I really don't understand..."

"Brother Qian Zeng didn't understand, how many people in Yunjing City can understand Bing Gehou's move?" The young man surnamed Zhao took a sip of tea, stroked his mustache and said: "Bing Gehou has always been His Majesty's right-hand man, and he is also the target of the prince's efforts to win over. He actually proposed to establish a regent to supervise the country in addition to the prince in accordance with the old system of the previous generations. Isn't this aimed at the prince of Linxi? ?”

"Well, it's a bad thing that it was Bing Gehou who proposed it. If it was someone else, I'm afraid he would have beheaded at the Meridian Gate and abandoned the market." The young man surnamed Qian sighed and said, "I heard that His Majesty was only 17 years old when he came to the throne. Years old, younger than the current crown prince. Before the death of the late emperor, he appointed a regent for His Majesty according to the ancestral system. Later, His Majesty finally took advantage of the opportunity of the evil soul sect's invasion to control the military power and get rid of the position of a puppet. Your Majesty can say I hate the word 'regent'. Bing Gehou has been His Majesty's companion since he was a child, and has been with His Majesty for more than 40 years. How could he not know that this is His Majesty's rebellious scale? I really can't figure it out!"

"Bing Gehou is His Majesty's companion. It's not bad..." The son surnamed Zhao on the opposite side knocked on the table with his hand, and said: "But he is still the most capable general when the Linxi Prince fought for His Majesty in all directions and galloped the world. , and the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace has always been frivolous, maybe there are some words and deeds that Bing Gehou can't get used to, so it is reasonable to turn around and support Lord Linxi."

"That's the only way to explain it, but... Bing Gehou's behavior is tantamount to declaring that he has betrayed His Majesty, and he has gone to the side of Lord Linxi!" Young Master Qian said in a low voice: "This Isn't that the same as supporting Linxi King... usurping..."

"Be careful with your words..." The young man surnamed Zhao hurriedly reminded: "Everyone in Yunjing City knows the heart of Linxi King, but if you say one or two things, it will be a catastrophe. Brother Qian is better to be cautious. Moreover, in terms of In my humble opinion, the game between the prince and the prince is not a game that must be lost, on the contrary..."

Just when the young man surnamed Zhao raised his sleeves, covered his face, and was about to say something in a low voice, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps rushing up the wooden stairs, and when everyone turned their eyes to the stairs, , I saw a guy in a coarse robe running up to the ground and said loudly: "Guest officers, guest officers, the latest news..."

At this moment, the second floor of the teahouse, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, and the guests who had been discussing the Tao before also stopped, waiting to hear what the guy had to say.

This is also a major feature of the North and South Teahouse. Whenever there is the latest news, it is always the first time for the guys to go to the private room on the second floor to tell them, and provide these Confucian scholars and noble children as talking points. It is said: "Pao Tan", which means to come to talk, and this is also one of the secrets of the long-lasting business of the North and South Teahouses.

"Guests..." The guy bowed to the guests, cleared his throat and said loudly: "This is the news I just got. The Linxi Palace announced a marriage contract today, and the object is Linxi." The prince's fourth princess, the opponent is Qin Aofeng, the second son of Marquis Bing Ge."

As soon as this sentence came out, the entire second floor of the North and South Tea House seemed to be sprinkled with a handful of salt in a hot pot, and immediately there was a lot of discussion and a sensation.

"Hey, that's strange, isn't the second son of Bing Gehou married to the daughter of the Shangshu family in Hubu? Why..." Immediately, doubts arose among the crowd: "Could it be that the daughter of the Shangshu family is also willing to marry him?" To be a child for the second son of the Qin family?"

"This guest officer..." The Xiaoer who brought the news made a bow to the questioning guest, and explained: "I heard that Master Duan has broken off the engagement with Bing Gehou Qin's family, and the harmonious relationship between the two families is currently From the looks of it, it hasn't been affected."

"Oh? The Duan family really can swallow this breath!" The questioner muttered, and threw a few green coins to the guy who reported the letter.

This is also the rule of the Nanbei teahouse, "Give Xiner money", often the guy who brings the talk can get more or less rewards from the guests, and most of the guests will give some rewards as they like, the most "Give Xiner money" It's time for the imperial examinations to publish the results. The buddies rushing to report the news, and when they meet rich masters, they will be given 20 taels and 30 taels of silver. [

"Thank you for this guest officer's reward." The guy didn't think there were too many green coins, so he bent down and picked them up. Immediately, several customers threw green coins and a little bit of silver. He picked it up thankfully and retreated from the teahouse.

"You see..." When the guy went downstairs, a scholar sitting by the side of the building said to the colleague on the opposite side: "Bing Gehou is like the same spirit as Prince Linxi, the prince thinks about it." It is almost impossible to win him over. In this way, the prince's situation may become even more dangerous."

"Oh, what you said is very true." On the opposite side, the Confucian scholar wearing a square scarf also sighed: "I originally planned to spend some money and entrust my relationship to enter the East Palace and become the prince's entourage. It’s better to get into such trouble. I’ll be wandering outside. Although I’m poor, at least my life is not in danger. If I’m not careful at this time, I’ll lose my head..."

"Yes, yes, under a full nest, how can there be no eggs? It's better to avoid disaster as soon as possible." The scholar next to him also nodded and said: "The sages said that the best way to protect oneself is at this moment! "

"Well, let's leave this matter at that." The Confucian scholar who had proposed to seek refuge with the crown prince also helped the handkerchief, and stopped the topic: "Brother, have you ever heard of this novelty?"

"What novelty?" The scholar couldn't help asking after taking a sip of tea.

"In the past few days, we have a caravan in Yunjing City."

"Hey..." The scholar said with a look of disdain: "Yunjing is located in a hub, and the caravans traveling north and south every day can be eighty if not one hundred. What's so novel?"

"It's just that this caravan is different!" The scholar said vigorously, while gesturing on his face, he said, "This caravan is not only tall and big, but also weird with blonde hair and blue eyes. According to their It is said that it came from the cloud country beyond the desert in the northwest!"

"Oh? Outside the Jiamen Pass, isn't it called the Jedi Desert, where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't shit, where are there people?" The scholar couldn't help frowning and asked. "Why are there still people here? Could it be some monster or ghost?"

"It does look a bit weird." The Confucian scholar said: "I have seen it a few times, but it doesn't look like a foreigner. At least some of them can speak Tianzhou dialect. It is said that it is fair to do business with them. Their caravan is now open in the East City of Yunjing City, brother, you should really go and see it when you have time."

"This is really strange, I really want to go and see it some other day..."

Of course, the matter of the Chinese caravan in Yun is the second big event in Yunjing City in July.

So how could there be a caravan from Yunzhong in Yunjing City, the capital of the Shengtian Dynasty?

This, of course, we have to ask our Qin Guyue!

Cloud Jingdong City.

"Gysy, Gisy... Hurry up and get the cargo to the back, someone is coming to see the Lingshi again!"

"Gyssey, Gysysy, someone here is asking if we want fur besides tea!"

"Boss Gissey! We have brought you the porcelain you asked for. Do you want to pay the bill with silver or spirit stones..."

"Hey, hey, is the boss there? I heard that you have medium-grade spirit stones here?"

……

Ever since Jisai's caravan arrived in Yunjing City, the owner of the caravan, Jisai, wanted to split himself in half. Hello!
