No.16 sticking pole

When Wei Zhan heard the sound, his body shook slightly, and the four Qinglong guards surrounded Lin Feng's four corners with a 'shua'.These few people were all latecomers, and they didn't even know that the person in front of them was the famous legendary figure Lin Feng.

Wei Zhan looked at the old Lin Feng, his eyes were a little moist with excitement. I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, except for the longing in my heart, only the traces of time are left.

"Wei Zhan, the Qinglong guard at the sticky pole, see Mr. Lin!" Wei Zhan said, clasping his fists with both hands, and was about to kneel on one knee.

Lin Feng put his hands together, "Fourth brother, I am no longer an adult, but we are still brothers." Lin Feng supported Wei Zhan's hands, and the two old men met their eyes.

The other four Qinglong guards looked at their boss in surprise. In their hearts, Wei Zhan was the supreme existence.In the sticky place, Wei Zhan is the biggest sky, even in front of the emperor, Wei Zhan doesn't have to bow down, but today he has to kneel down to an ordinary old man.

The four Qinglong guards glanced at each other, and they had already guessed who the old man in front of them was.Except for the legendary Lin Feng who was at the sticky pole back then, I am afraid that no one can enjoy this treatment.

"I'm waiting for the Azure Dragon Guards, see Master Lin!" The four put away their weapons and fell to their knees in unison.

Lin Feng looked at the young people and nodded slightly, "At the sticky pole, a new generation replaces the old one. Everyone, get up, there is no need to salute."

The four stood up, Wei Zhan gave him a wink, and the four Qinglong guards tossed and turned, each running to their posts.On the side of the road, there were only two old men left.

"Brother, why did you leave that day? If you hadn't left, ### and the third child wouldn't have died in Dangyun Kingdom." Wei Zhan's voice trembled a little.

Lin Feng was taken aback, not understanding why Wei Zhan said that, "Fourth brother, how did they die?"

Wei Zhan smiled bitterly, "When you left the book, there was no leader at the stick, and ### the third child began to compete for your position. At the most chaotic time at the stick, when spies from Yunguo got into the stick Department. They made false information to lure ### to be fooled by the third child, and he was shot to death in the rebellion. Later, in a fit of anger, I killed sixteen Qinglong guards with my own hands, and only then did I find out the real spy. For a spy , but killed sixteen brothers by mistake, forcing me to almost retire back then. Brother, speaking of this, it is all the result of your irresponsibility back then."

Lin Feng closed his eyes sadly, but opened them again in an instant, "Wei Zhan, people are going to die, it's just one step earlier and one step later. If you hadn't experienced this turmoil, you wouldn't have matured So fast. I remember that among the four of us back then, you were the one who collided the most. Now it seems, hehe, very good!" Lin Feng's words are very good, and they represent many meanings.At that time, Lin Feng was trapped by love, and in front of his brothers, Lin Feng would not speak out even if he was killed.He could only hide that guilt in his heart.

"Brother, I won't mention the previous things. You need to take the helm again at the sticky pole. At present, Dafeng Dynasty is calm on the surface, but powerful enemies are watching all around. In the south, there is Dangyun Kingdom, and in the north, there is Tianqing Kingdom, which is ready to move. Ministers only know how to intrigue and don't think about government affairs, and now Emperor Chengwu can't bear to strictly discipline the government and get rid of useless people. This is not the way to go, and sooner or later it will become a serious disaster."

Lin Feng shook his head, "Wei Zhan, I'm old and I don't want to participate in this anymore. If you still think of me as a big brother, listen to me. What is a sticky stick? It means that the emperor regards us as a stick in his hand. Cicada No matter how high the worm is, you can use the stick to take him down. This is the role of the stick. If you interfere with the government, you will be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the royal family and will be banned sooner or later. Jiangshan Sheji is not a problem considered by the stick , what the sticky stick needs to do is to serve as the emperor's eyes and ears and a stick for the emperor to remove cicadas."

Wei Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently, "Brother, I understand. There is one more thing I want to ask you, that Zhu Tianjiang?"

As soon as he mentioned Zhu Tianjiang, Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Fourth, this kid is very interesting. He is talented and unique in thinking, and sometimes the things he comes up with are amazing. If you train him well, he will become a great tool in time."

"Brother, since you say that, you can't always be at ease, and you can't leave the burden on me alone. You have to let me know where you are staying."

Lin Feng stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to talk while walking, "Fourth, I'm a wandering wild crane now, and I don't have a fixed place to live. If there's anything, I'll contact Mu Qi." Lin Feng didn't say where he lived.

"Then what do I need to see you for?"

"Then find Zhu Tianjiang, that kid will tell me!"

The two talked while walking, and after a while, the figure disappeared on the road.

Speaking of Zhu Daguan, it took the boss's strength to drive the carriage to the city gate.At the city gate, Zhao Si also woke up.Zhu Tianjiang warned Zhao Si to return home as soon as nothing happened.

The first thing Zhu Daguan did when he came to the mansion was to run to the flower garden.He wanted to ask about the sticky pole, but the old gardener Lin Feng was not there.In desperation, Zhu Daguan walked towards Guo Ying's residence.In the evening, all the princes will be entertained, and Zhu Daguan wants to discuss it with Guo Ying.Some things require her cooperation.

In the Great Inner Palace, Emperor Chengwu sat behind the imperial case.Feng Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Yu Huacheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood aside.Emperor Cheng Wu looked at the memorial in his hand and couldn't help frowning.

During this period, Emperor Chengwu was worried about money. The Ministry of War urged several times for food and payment, but the treasury was empty, and the Ministry of Households could not come up with money.The flood in Hedu prefecture caused the victims to cause disturbances. If they don't allocate money to relieve the disaster and build embankments, it may lead to civil uprisings.

"Feng Aiqing, why is the tax payment from Zhongdu Prefecture and Shutian Prefecture not arriving this year?" Emperor Chengwu looked gloomyly at Feng Jing, Minister of the Household Department.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have sent people to remind me several times, but this year the two prefectures have not had a good harvest, and the number of merchants has decreased drastically. So far, the taxes and taxes have not been paid." Feng Jing replied cautiously.

"Absurd! The Zhongdu Prefecture is an important food-producing area in our Dafeng Dynasty, and the Shutian Prefecture is a treaty port. If they don't take the lead, other capitals will follow. Feng Jing, I think you, the Minister of the Household Department, will soon be at the end of your seat." It is." Cheng Wuhuang said, throwing down the memorial in his hand.

Feng Jing was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "I'm guilty!"

"Guilty and guilty, you know you are guilty when you encounter something, don't you know how to think of a way! Step down, step down for me!" Emperor Cheng Wu angrily drove the two important ministers out.

Cheng Wuhuang walked a few steps back and forth angrily, then turned his head and asked, "Has Master Wei returned to the palace?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Master Wei has already returned to the palace." A eunuch quickly replied.

"Xuan!"

Emperor Cheng Wu gave an order, and the little eunuch ran like a rabbit. After a while, Wei Zhan's figure appeared in the upper study.

"Wei Zhan, what's the news from Zhongdu and Shutian?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the Zhongdu and Shutian prefectures don't have silver taels. It's just that it's impossible to rely on the officials of the household department to urge them." Wei Zhan replied in a deep voice.

"Why, they still want to rebel!" A gleam appeared in Cheng Wuhuang's eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that the governors of these two prefectures are all involved with the old lady. One is the eldest son of the old uncle, and the other is the student of the old uncle. If the tax is paid, the Central Capital must pay it. I guess from my ministers, there is a lot to be said here."

Emperor Cheng Wu was startled, "Wei Zhan, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Just as Wei Zhan was about to express his opinion, he suddenly remembered Lin Feng's words, and immediately changed his words, "Your Majesty, I am just a guard and don't understand government affairs."

Emperor Cheng Wu snorted dissatisfiedly, "Go down." Speaking of this, Emperor Cheng Wu suddenly remembered something, and called Wei Zhan again, "What's the situation with the Imperial College?"

"Teacher Wang complained about his illness, and it seems that he will not be able to get over it for a while. Besides, Zhu Tianxiang will entertain all the princes tonight." Wei Zhan said, and secretly glanced at Emperor Chengwu.

"Banquet for all the princes?" Cheng Wuhuang was startled, thought for a moment, then nodded lightly, "This kid is really smart, before he sees clearly, he won't offend anyone."

"No! Your Majesty, you are wrong. This kid will probably surprise everyone tonight. Because he already has a choice, the fourth prince Xuanzhu." Wei Zhan said silently.

"Xuanzhu? Nonsense, it's simply nonsense. The four emperors are cowardly, and they are not expected to be emperors at all."

"Your Majesty, that's not necessarily the case. I really feel that the fourth prince has a smart side." Wei Zhan actually sang against the emperor. If other ministers heard this, their eyes would drop in surprise.

Emperor Cheng Wu took a meaningful look at Wei Zhan, "Okay then, I'll see if the fourth child has such a future."

Wei Zhan walked out of the upper study room. He didn't stay in the palace, but went directly to the blacksmith shop on Shunjing Street.

Mu Qi, who is the envoy of Suzaku at the sticky pole, couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the boss arrived.Wei Zhan, as the envoy of Qinglong, is the biggest leader of the Sticky Rod, and he rarely comes to his place under normal circumstances.

"Master Wei, I don't know what's important, but I'd like to ask you to come here in person." Mu Qi asked respectfully.

"Mu Qi, tonight Zhu Tianxiang is hosting a banquet for the four princes, and they will definitely bring their own guards. Immediately organize a secret manpower to make him fight each other." Wei Zhan said calmly.

"Fight~ fight?" Mu Qi looked at Wei Zhan suspiciously, not understanding why he gave such a ridiculous order.

"Yes, these princes must fight among themselves so that they can ignore Zhu Tianjiang. Since Master Lin has entrusted him to me, I will use all my strength to help him reach the pinnacle of power."

After speaking, Wei Zhan glanced at Mu Qi, and then said: "I have passed the black ring representing the Azure Dragon Envoy to Zhu Tianjiang."

Mu Qi was taken aback, and looked at Wei Zhan in surprise.Could it be that Mr. Wei is cultivating successors?

"Subordinates understand! Do it right away." Mu Qi replied seriously.

Wei Zhan nodded, the current sticky stick is an organization that absolutely ends up with him, and Wei Zhan is very confident in this.Even the imperial decree of the emperor is not as effective as his words at the sticky pole.

Wei Zhan left the blacksmith shop and ran directly to Prince Jing's mansion.Wei Zhan wants to use his power to talk to Prince Jing, so that Prince Jing can personally ask the emperor for an order to supervise the taxation of Shu Tianfu.But there is one condition, that is, Zhu Tianjiang must be brought with him.With the secret support of the stick, Wei Zhan wants Zhu Tianxiang to make his first contribution!
