The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 140 Three Wangjing Gate ([-])

Zhu Xi was actually on his way to Beijing, but one was by land and the other was by water. When he learned that his nephew had clashed with Prince Yan, he didn't think it was a big deal at first, because similar incidents had happened before. That's how he handled it, thinking that as long as he sent someone to give some gifts, and find someone to make peace, everything would be fine. Besides, he heard that Prince Yan had been staying in the country, so he would definitely not be favored by the emperor, and he hadn't seen any "big world". Easy to settle.

Zhu Yu immediately sent people to inquire about the cause of the incident. If he did not check, he would not know. He was shocked when he checked. The news he got from Zhu Ruzhou's entourage shocked him. What did his nephew say in public? Wang Fa, my own words are imperial edicts. It’s okay to scare others with these outrageous words. If my nephew uses this to scare a prince, isn’t that just looking for trouble? It’s a blessing that they didn’t kill him on the spot.

But what Zhu Xi first thought of was not his nephew's life, what he was worried about was that if his nephew said these words to the emperor, then his own actions would be exposed, and he might lose all the wealth and status he had gained through "hard work" , and the best way to solve this matter is to let the people who know these things disappear...Zhu Xie immediately summoned people to use the darkness of the night to make the gangsters make trouble and create chaos, snatch back his nephew, and kill Zhao Tun, but those gangsters all Frightened by the fierce counterattack of Zhao Tama's personal guards, no one dared to move.

When he mobilized people from the south of the Yangtze River again and arrived, Zhao Tun only stayed in Yongqiu for one night and then left. Inviting the magistrate to find ways to keep Zhao Tun, one is to find out what happened to Zhao Tun and see if it can be resolved peacefully;Unexpectedly, the manager made a trip. Not only did the matter not get done, but he was also "humiliated".

Just when Zhu Mian was mobilizing his manpower and was about to let go of the murder, Hu Yong came.He is Tong Guan's personal entourage, and they said they came here to welcome him, but everyone knew in their hearts that he was here to 'collect taxes'.While the two were talking, Zhu Meng mentioned the conflict with the prince, which shocked Hu Yong, and others didn't know if he knew.

From his mouth, Zhu Xi knew that this prince was not ordinary. He was not only a rascal but also a bold man. He had played tricks on the prefect of Gongzhou, Cai You, Liang Shicheng and other big and small people. What surprised him was that now Zhao Tun was a candidate for the East Palace again, the one recommended by his benefactor, the emperor would probably appoint him as the heir when he was summoned to Beijing.This shocked Zhu Xi into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he hadn't done anything yet, otherwise he would have blackmailed the prince, and the emperor would have to dig himself out even if he dug the ground three feet and cut him to pieces.

Now that he knew the inside story, Zhu Xi had no choice but to suppress his murderous intentions, and prepared a generous gift, asking Hu Yong to be a middleman to make peace with Zhao Tun.He didn't know that this decision of his had unintentionally changed his own destiny. Zhao Tun didn't kill Zhu Ruzhou and humiliated Zhu Xugao because he wanted to anger Zhu Miao, lure him into action, and then get rid of him in a legitimate way.

The two of them clarified the matter and did not stay for long, Zhao Tun ordered Zhu Ruzhou to be released, of course Zhu Tun beat up his nephew again in front of Zhao Tun, and then left.

Zhao Tang watched them leave the post house, and the guards moved all the gifts they brought into the hall. A group of people were a little dizzy looking at the colorful jewels, gold and silver, and he was no exception. Zhu Yu is indeed generous, not to mention anything That pair of 'Warring Armor' made by Xixia craftsmen is a treasure that is hard to find.According to records in Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan", this armor was made by Qingtang Qiang people. Shooting at a distance of fifty paces cannot penetrate it.Such toughness is due to the fact that hot forging is not used in forging, but cold iron forging is used to reduce the thickness by two-thirds, leaving a chopstick head-sized piece at the end of the nail without forging, just like a human body. The warts on the body are commonly called warts. The armor of Xu Ning, the golden gun general in "Water Margin", is probably this kind of thing, which shows its preciousness.

"My lord, Zhu Xi is really generous, one shot is worth a hundred thousand," Jian Xi said with bright eyes.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. The sum of these things will not be less than 20 guan. He really invested his capital." Huang Jingchen is also a person who has seen the world, and he is also emotional when he sees these things.

"My lord, if you give me so much money, it will be worth it even if you die." Zhao Zhong looked at the dazzling jewels and said with a smirk.

"Yeah, I've never seen so much gold when I grow up," one of the guards whispered.

"My lord, look at how beautiful this bead is." Xin Zhao opened a box and exclaimed with blurred eyes.

"Since everyone likes it, let's each choose one," Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Really?" Zhao Zhong said in disbelief. They had always received the education that 'you can't pick up the gold in the road, and you have to give credit for everything'. Now the prince took the initiative to let them take it, but it was no surprise to everyone.

"Really, but each person can only take one piece of jewelry, and the rest of the gold and silver will be sealed and transported back to Xiangyi as military pay," said Zhao Tong.

"Thank you, Lord, for the reward." The guards said in unison, each stepped forward to take a piece of jewelry, of course they were all overjoyed.

"My lord, what are you doing?" Xin Zhao suddenly noticed that the lord picked up a sword, drew it and cut his arm with his hand, blood gushing out, he hurriedly hugged Zhao Tun's arm and shouted, everything else Frightened by the prince's actions, he didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I just want to wake myself up." Zhao Tun sheathed his sword and said, "Wealth touches people's hearts. Seeing these beauties in gold and silver makes my heart move. The prosperity of central Beijing is ten times greater than that of Xiangyi. There is also countless wealth, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand those temptations and get addicted to it, forgetting the purpose of coming to Beijing from where I came from, forgetting my original ideals, forgetting the rise and fall of the world, and the suffering of the people.”

"Eliminate the traitors, protect the family and the country, restore my dark clouds, and avenge my country's shame" the guards all knelt down on one knee and roared after hearing Zhao Tun's words.

"Okay, we all have to remember our mission, don't let our bones go limp in the flamboyant world and betray our own conscience," said Zhao Tong, patting his chest.

"Follow the teachings of the prince," the guards replied in unison again.

……

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, thousands of ancient romantic figures..." The night is deep, the crescent moon is like a hook, Zhu Shuzhen mutters to Zhao Tun's "Masterpiece" quietly, looking at the bright moon outside the window with her chin resting, full of thoughts thousand.She was the young girl's youthful youth, and the handsome face of the young prince, the way he laughed and scolded, had been deeply imprinted in her heart.

No one in the south of the Yangtze River knows that Zhu Miao is domineering. His father was an official with him in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Forcing him to kneel in front of the door to plead guilty, what a prestige that is.How chic it is to write poems on the wall after drinking.

"Why doesn't he want to discuss poetry with me? Is it due to my humble background or my poor writing style?" Zhao Tun's refusal annoyed the girl, but she was haunted by an inexplicable impulse in her heart. She picked up a pen and wrote a poem on this autumn night. A small poem, "Shuanghuan learns thrush at the beginning, but I don't know who his mind belongs to? Take the mid-autumn moon in my arms, and ask Xiao Lang to write ten thousand poems"

……

"Second Master, Miss Zhu sent another poem." Huang Jingchen had recovered from his illness that day, and they were about to embark on their return journey. Xin Zhao came over early in the morning and said.

"Hehe, this little lady is quite interesting." Zhao Tong laughed lightly after seeing it. The thrush in the poem must refer to herself. In the poem, she set up an ideal lover image and a happy future for herself. Looking forward to marriage, in her heart he is a wishful man who is good at poetry and poetry, and like-minded.It must be my poem that day that attracted the girl's love for the first time, and now I am implicitly confessing to myself.

"My ambition is not to be a romantic talent who recites poems and paints, but to be a general who leaps at the border, but she is disappointed. Zhao Xin grinds." Zhao Tong was also a little disappointed. The beauty and talent of the beautiful woman in front of him really moved his heart, but his own Born in this era of impending chaos, it is doomed not to be romantic with her, but let her thoughts go, so as not to increase troubles in vain

"Prancing horses in Chang'an City every year, guest houses are like homes. Green money is exchanged for wine, and the day is helpless, and red candles call Lu Xiao and can't sleep. It's easy to pick brocade women's machines, and it's rare for a beautiful man to do things. The man has Shenzhou in the northwest, Mo Dripping water and tears beside the West Bridge." After Zhao Tun finished writing the last stroke, he sighed in his heart why he did not have a good life, such a good opportunity was missed for nothing, this is the first time a girl showed love to him in two lives, Poor my first love was killed by me at the beginning, but I am sorry for future generations, and I plagiarized a good song again.

"Second Master, I really can't understand you more and more. I have never seen you write a poem in Xiangyi for so many years, why are you so popular now, one after another?" Xin Zhao gently blown With dry ink, he tilted his head and asked.

"Poetry is born from the heart, understand?" Zhao Tun wiped his hands and smiled, suddenly found that Zhao Xin had strings of beads hanging around his neck, but wearing this outfit, he looked a bit nondescript, "You put the beads on, don't be afraid of being snatched by others." go"

"Hmph, the second master gave it to me, of course I have to hang it up, if anyone dares to snatch it, I will chop off his paw." Zhao Xin said, "Second master, do you think I look good wearing this string of beads?" He asked again with his chest full of anticipation.

"Hehe, it's pretty, it's perfect for you, it's just specially made for you," Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Hee hee, I think it looks good too." Xin Zhao happily picked up the letter and left, he seemed to be in a particularly good mood

After breakfast, Prince Yan's motorcade for returning to Beijing set off again. The beautiful girl was missing from the farewell crowd, but there were several more carriages full of people in the motorcade.The convoy galloped all the way, and two hours later they had entered Kaifeng County, where a guard of honor in bright armor was waiting at the Shili Changting Pavilion. Zhao Tong abandoned the cart and rode on horseback, and walked slowly surrounded by his personal guards.Just after noon, they had arrived at the gate of Fengqiu in Bianliang City, and there was already a crowd of people waiting there...
