Great Luck

Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Emperor Chengwu has not toured the world for many years. As the emperor of Dafeng, he is restricted by many factors in this respect.In the eyes of the common people, the king of a country can go wherever he wants, and only the emperor in his position understands his own suffering.

The largest capital city that Emperor Chengwu passed through in the south was Pengcheng Mansion.Ever since Zhu Tian came down to eradicate evils and Wu Dayin, governor of Pengcheng Mansion, regained power, Pengcheng Mansion has returned to a prosperous scene.When Wu Dayin went to the capital to plead guilty, Emperor Cheng Wu felt that this person was a bit useless, and he could be held hostage by the gentry and bullies.Emperor Cheng Wu originally wanted to dismiss him from office, but later, on the recommendation of King Jing, Emperor Cheng Wu decided to give him another chance and did not sanction Wu Dayin.

Emperor Cheng Wu walked on the street with his hands behind his back. Within a hundred meters before and after him, the Azure Dragon Guards were among the crowd, carefully guarding.Seeing the lively scene of people coming and going, Emperor Cheng Wu felt very satisfied.

"Old Wei, it seems that the people of Pengcheng are living a very comfortable life." Emperor Cheng Wu said gratifiedly.

"In addition to Mr. Li, Zhu Tianjiang eradicated the bully squires, and Wu Dayin promulgated new business measures, and the common people are more welcome." Wei Zhan nodded and said.

Emperor Wu of Jingcheng was in a good mood this time. Everyone else called him 'Master Li', but only Wei Zhan could call him 'Yuanwai Li'.Wei Zhan was nearly 20 years older than Emperor Chengwu, and with his special status in the Dafeng Dynasty, Emperor Chengwu and Wei Zhan were said to be monarchs and ministers, more like close friends.

Emperor Cheng Wu smiled, "Zhu Tianjiang is indeed a talent, he has more things in his head than others. If this kid can be used by me with peace of mind, he can be regarded as a powerful general. However, even if I No matter how kind you are to him, there should be a bottom line in doing things." Cheng Wuhuang said, his face turned cold.

It has been less than a year since Zhu Tianxiang entered the Imperial College, and he was able to gather 300 million taels of disaster relief money on the spur of the moment.It would not be surprising if this was placed on the royal family and nobles in the capital, it is the accumulation of the family for many years.But on Zhu Tianjiang's body, that would be unreasonable. Emperor Cheng Wu couldn't even imagine how much money this kid had embezzled.

Wei Zhan smiled and said nothing, he said to himself, you must know that Zhu Tianjiang still hid thousands of soldiers in the capital, it would be strange not to order him to be cut in half.

Emperor Cheng Wu saw a tea house by the roadside, and many people came and went talking happily.Emperor Chengwu raised his hand and pointed, "Old Wei, let's go in and have fun." As Emperor Chengwu said, he walked towards the teahouse.

Wei Zhan quickly winked at the Azure Dragon Guards, and six or seven of them walked in ahead of time.The teahouse is a place where dragons and snakes mingle, and Wei Zhan is also afraid of accidents. He cannot bear this responsibility.

In the chaotic teahouse, those Qinglongwei had already occupied a table for him.The tea drinkers who were squeezed away stared dissatisfiedly at the few people. Seeing that these people were all big and three rough, they were too frightened to make a sound.

Emperor Cheng Wu walked over and sat down, and several Azure Dragon Guards quickly occupied the other seats at the square table.It's also inconvenient for them to chase people away in front of Emperor Cheng Wu, and it's inconvenient for them to do anything if someone with no eyesight really sits down.Wei Zhan ordered a pot of scented tea and served some fruit dishes.

In the eyes of Emperor Chengwu, these unrefined folk fruit snacks seem to have become fairyland delicacies, and he is full of praise for eating them.

"Old Wei, I didn't expect the food here to be more delicious than the ones in our garden. When you are going to leave, bring some more."

As Emperor Cheng Wu said, he took a sip of strong tea.As soon as the tea was in his mouth, Emperor Cheng Wu couldn't help frowning.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, the tea here is not comparable to the tea in our garden, so let's just drink it." Wei Zhan said, looking at the stage in the teahouse.

"Old Wei, what is the storyteller talking about?" Cheng Wuhuang asked strangely when he saw many people applauding.

"It seems to be talking about Zhu Tianjiang." Wei Zhan replied casually.

Emperor Cheng Wu was startled, and began to listen carefully.Sure enough, just as Wei Zhan said, the storyteller on the stage was talking about the part where the great official Zhu came to Pengcheng to eliminate the hegemony.

The storyteller is full of voice and emotion, and the artistic processing fully interprets Zhu Daguan as the most upright contemporary official who hates evil and cares about the people.After the storyteller flattered Zhu Tianjiang, he also flattered Emperor Cheng Wu, saying that today's sages know how to use people well, how can they be wise, etc.

Hearing this, Emperor Cheng Wu was elated and raised the corners of his mouth, "Come here, give me a reward~!" Emperor Cheng Wu said habitually.

The face of a Qinglong guard next to him changed, and he quickly bowed and asked quietly, "Master, how much is the reward?"

Emperor Cheng Wu was taken aback for a moment, then realized that he was not in the palace, "I will reward you with 100 taels of silver."

According to the rules in the palace, the reward is 1000 taels of silver and ten scrolls of brocade.Emperor Cheng Wu said in his heart that the reward should be less, so as not to scare everyone.

He didn't know that 100 taels was not a small number for a folk storyteller.Most of the people who come to the teahouse to drink tea are ordinary people, and they usually just throw a few coins and it will be a big deal.Such a reward from Emperor Cheng Wu still shocked everyone in the teahouse. They didn't know where this prodigal rich man appeared.

The shopkeeper was also very happy, and shouted to the stage, "Storyteller, the grandpa at table number nine has rewarded so much, you have to work hard to give grandpa a big compliment."

When the storyteller saw the white money, he excitedly clasped his fists at Emperor Chengwu's table, "Thank you for the reward from this kind man, I wish you good health and longevity, I don't know what the guest officer wants to hear, just click , the little old man will try his best today and say a few more paragraphs."

Emperor Cheng Wu laughed twice, "What you said just now is good, Zhen~!" Emperor Cheng Wu said it smoothly, and brought out 'Zhen'.Wei Zhan was startled, he couldn't see anything on the surface, and secretly raised his vigilance to the limit.

Emperor Cheng Wu paused for a moment, then quickly changed his words and said, "It's really nice to hear. If there is a bookstore in this area, you can continue to talk about it."

Everyone in the teahouse didn't care. When the storyteller heard it, Xingmu tapped, "My lord, take a look. Let's continue now~ This paragraph is guaranteed to be more exciting than the one just now. The title of the book is ~Prince People The girl fell in love with Master Zhu at first sight and got a matchmaker to act as a guarantor~ privately determined for life!"

"Crack~!" The storyteller finished speaking frustratingly, and fell awake again, "It is said that Pengcheng, the Hong family class, was in trouble and was bullied by the bullies of the Zhao family, but the class leader of the Hong family class gave birth to a good girl, who is as beautiful as a flower. It’s like a fairy descending to earth~~! His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Xuanzhu and Hong Xiaoqing fell in love at first sight~~ With Master Zhu’s matchmaking, they entered the bridal chamber that night~!”

The storyteller talked like a lotus flower on the stage, and the audience in the audience wished he could tell what happened in the bridal chamber to be happy, and they kept making noises.Emperor Cheng Wu's face turned blue the more he heard it, he snorted coldly, stood up and left.

Wei Zhan smiled wryly, and thought, isn't this just looking for trouble? If you flatter the emperor, it will be over. What are you doing with the prince's flirtatious affair?

Emperor Cheng Wu originally wanted to stay in Pengcheng for two more days to observe the people's sentiments here.But after knowing that Xuan Zhu was showing mercy outside, Cheng Wu scolded Zhu Tianxiang all night, and set off south early the next morning.

Cheng Wuhuang's side drove to Shu Tian Mansion unhurriedly, but Zhu Tianjiang's side ran towards Shu Tian without stopping day and night.Even Zhu Yi and the others were exhausted along the way, and Daniu was still injured, so he finally got into Zhu Tianjiang's car.Let Zhu Tianjiang beat and scold him, but he just refuses to come out.

The crowd ran wildly for eight days and nights, and when they were really tired, they rested on the side of the road for an hour or two and continued on their way, and finally arrived at Shutian Mansion on the morning of the ninth day.

Seeing this familiar city, Zhu Tianjiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.As long as he can arrive ahead of time, he is not afraid. It should be no problem to arrange a random game to deceive Emperor Cheng Wu.But the most important thing is that Zhu Tianjiang is afraid that Wei Zhan will expose his lies.So, Zhu Tianjiang needs to appease the dark side of Shu Tian's sticky stick.At the very least, let these guys say a few good words for him.

In the capital, Emperor Chengwu did not go to court for more than ten consecutive days, and the civil and military officials began to discuss.In the harem, the guests and concubines were even more disturbed when they learned that Emperor Chengwu was "seriously ill".The Queen and Concubine E Gui lifted the confinement ahead of time. After many inquiries, the Queen finally found out that something was wrong.

If it is said that Cheng Wuhuang is in poor health, no one in the Tai Hospital has ever seen Cheng Wuhuang.And that mysterious Lord Wei Zhan also disappeared for a long time.The queen pondered for a while, and immediately guessed that Emperor Chengwu was definitely not in the palace.Now that the emperor left the palace quietly, and Prince Jing tried his best to help conceal it, the empress knew in her heart that it seemed that she should be traveling around the world in private.The empress had a thought, and immediately secretly summoned the eldest prince Xuan Ming and the second prince Xuan Can to the palace to have an audience.

In the mansion of the third prince Xuan Le, Concubine Dong Gui and her son Xuan Le are also discussing secretly.Xuan Le asked very detailed questions, never letting go of any details.

"Mother, during this period of time, has your father favored you? Or, have you stayed with other concubines?" Xuan Liao looked at his mother, Concubine Dong Gui, and asked.

Concubine Dong Gui blushed when she was asked, and said in her heart that this child is not old or young, and even parents should care about things like that.

"Le'er, you are getting more and more outrageous, this kind of thing~ how can you ask." Concubine Dong Gui scolded angrily.

"Mother, this matter is very important, you must tell the baby." Xuan Le said seriously.

Concubine Dong Gui gave Xuan Le a blank look, and said in a low voice, "No."

"Not even anyone else?"

Concubine Dong Gui shook her head, "No."

The harem is very concerned about this kind of thing, and will send maids to the respect room early in the morning to ask who the emperor summoned last night, or who stayed overnight.Therefore, Concubine Dong Gui answered very simply.

Xuan Le frowned, and tapped the folding fan lightly on her palm, "I understand!" Xuan Le said suddenly.

"Le'er, what do you understand? Could it be that your father is really sick? Impossible, no imperial doctor in the Imperial Hospital has been called?" Concubine Dong Gui looked at Xuan Le nervously.

"Mother, Father is not sick, but not in the palace, or even in the capital." Xuan Le said silently.

"You~ What do you mean? Your father~ went to Weifu for a private visit?" Concubine Dong Gui looked at Xuan Le suspiciously.

"Well, that's the only possibility. If the father is really seriously ill, Uncle Jing will definitely call the three courts and six ministers into the palace secretly to discuss the selection of the crown prince. Now that Uncle Jing can hold his breath so calmly, it means that the father is absolutely sure. Not sick."

When Concubine Dong Gui heard this, she let out a long breath.What she was most worried about was that Emperor Cheng Wu suddenly became seriously ill. If he died suddenly, Xuan Le would be over.Currently Xuan Le is not as good as Xuan Can and Xuan Zhu in terms of soldiers, horses and connections. Once Emperor Cheng Wu dies, Xuan Le will be out of play at all.

"Le'er, you child is too prudent. Now Xuancan has the support of Xuanming's camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and Xuanzhu has Zhu Tianxiang's support. Only you have no military power or important ministers. What are you going to do to fight them?" Dong said. The imperial concubine complained.

Xuan Le didn't speak, and for some reason, after guessing that his father's private visit in Weifu, he suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness.

"Come on!" Xuan Le suddenly shouted to the outside.

Two guards hurried in and stood at the door waiting for Xuan Le's order.

"Notify Nan Yuan, immediately secretly monitor Xuan Ming and Xuan Can's every move, and report to me any whereabouts of them." Xuan Le solemnly ordered.

The two guards agreed and exited the study.Concubine Dong Gui looked at her son strangely, not understanding why he was monitoring Xuan Ming and Xuan Can.

"Le'er, you don't want to take advantage of the father's absence in the capital to attack them quietly, do you?" Concubine Dong Gui looked at Xuan Le in surprise, she was really worried that Xuan Le would take the risk.

Xuan Le snorted coldly, "Mother, it's not that I want to attack them, I'm worried that they will attack the father. Last time Xuan Ming was punished by the father for privately dispatching troops, and Xuan Can was also ignored by the father. They have always been aggrieved. Xuan Ming and Xuan Can are narrow-minded, and they will do anything for the throne. Once the father dies outside the capital, I have no military power in my hands, and the fourth child and Zhu Tianjiang are not in the capital. Now Xuan Can is the one with the most strength to sit on the throne. Even Lao Si and Zhu Tianjiang may not be able to return to the capital alive." Xuan Le's face became extremely serious.

Concubine Dong Gui looked at Xuan Le in shock, "This~ this is impossible, don't forget there are Wei Zhan and Qinglongwei, Xuan Can and the others probably don't have this ability?"

"Hmph! Xuanming has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. If you lie in ambush and shoot arrows, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape. If martial arts were really good, Lin Feng would have made Dangyun and the king of Tianqing Kingdom a long time ago." Assassinated. Besides, Xuanming sent people to assassinate secretly without proof, who can testify against them. A country cannot be without a king for a day. As long as the father dies, Xuanming will raise troops to support Xuancan's supremacy. After Xuancan takes the throne , I dare say that whoever investigates the cause of Father's death will die." Xuan Le said coldly.

Concubine Dong Gui was pale and slumped on the chair weakly.If it was true what Xuan Le said, even if the two of them survived, they would be dispatched to a cold place thousands of miles away.

"Mother, don't be afraid, I'm just guessing. After you return to the palace, act as if nothing happened, don't show any flaws." Xuan Le comforted the mother, trying her best to pretend to be calm.

After Xuan Le warned her mother, Concubine Dong Gui, although she didn't see anything on the surface, Xuan Le had already stirred up waves in her heart.He can't tell anyone about this kind of thing before there is no evidence. Xuan Ge can only rely on his own manpower to prepare for the worst.

Just as Xuan Le judged, the queen secretly summoned Xuanming and Xuancan into the palace, in order to let Xuanming use soldiers and horses to assassinate Emperor Chengwu outside the capital.

There is no relationship at all between the queen and Emperor Chengwu. In her eyes, anyone who stands in the way of her son's ascension to the throne can die, including Emperor Chengwu!
