……
One after another angry scoldings were heard one after another in the Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
The two Heavenly Realm guards outside the door were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were trembling.
It has 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 will inevitably be unlucky. I don’t know who is so short-sighted this time and actually got His Majesty into trouble.
In the Humble Administrator's Pavilion, Old 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 for him to see the emperor 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 economical person 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.
To offer comfort at this time is to 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 returned to calm, but his half-closed eyes were still gleaming, and the anger in his heart had obviously not dissipated.
Lao Yao then sent 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 be biased. He must firmly remember that His Majesty is the main priority in everything. Only in this way can he stay in this position stably and survive for a long time.
"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 in the past have long since left me. Go, now, apart from you, where else can I find anyone who can tell the truth? Just say a few words casually, and I can learn more about it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Yao bowed his head and thought for a while before he said carefully, "In the final analysis, this matter lies in Prince Dexin's incompetent education. Your Majesty can summon him and give him a scolding. Let him reflect deeply 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 incompetent, arrogant, but not very caring. Just say Last time I bet with Master Tianhe, didn't I just lose 20 Spirits and get ridiculed a few times? In the end, I turned around and ran away in anger. I was so petty, and my style and spirit were not as good as others. I was so tired that the kid from Yong'an took over for me. He raised money to pay it back."
"Prince Yong'an is still holding his own." Old Yao whispered kind words, "I remember that when he was a child, he often came to the palace to be under Huan's knees, and 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 quite 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 "naughty" all day long. He relies on his father's authority to forcefully control him and blames him at every turn. He tried to teach Yingji a lesson, trying to turn Yingji into a fool like him who had no opinion and only knew how to obey. Poor Ji'er, not only has she lost her mother since she was a child, but she also has to suffer Yong'an's insults. If not, how could he have become a water bandit in anger..."
"Well, Your Majesty." Lao Yao reminded carefully, "The Jiaolong Gang is also a registered trading firm. Although the young prince Yingji acted impulsively, he still cleaned up the real water bandits in Anjiang and protected the waterway, so that The waterway economy has been developed. Whenever there is a flood in Anjiang, the Jiaolong Gang will also contribute money and help. It can be regarded as meritorious..."
"Old Yao, it's really rare for you to say good things to your children. You think you share the same thoughts with 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 is extremely talented, even better than Yong'an. And when Ji'er ran away that year It is already an outstanding qualification for a second-level genius. 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 because of 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 temperament and loyalty, he is consistent with me. Exactly the same."
"Fortunately, Ji'er was lucky. He met Shouzhe and pointed him out a clear path. That's good. He doesn't understand the mind and has developed a reckless aura. It's better for him to go out and explore than to stay in the temple. It's more appropriate and saves him from being trapped in the mess and muddy pond 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 the path of pioneering, should we recall Jiang Yusong?" Lao Yao asked cautiously.
"Ji'er is too reckless and can easily be plotted by others and suffer secret losses. I feel more at ease if the thoughtful Jiang Yusong is there to protect me." Emperor Longchang's eyes were full of sympathy for his junior. Care, "Besides, Ji'er is used to being wild. 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 chattering for a while, 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 Kangjun, has lived up to his holy expectations and personally visited battlefields outside the territory. He has taken risks and made many military exploits. As a model for all the royal children, the county prince was given a purple gold crown, a first-class royal manor, ten souls, and five million gold. In addition, Zhao Shi Yijing was named the second-grade county princess, and she was given the crown. All the ceremonial utensils have been prepared. I appreciate this."
"This..." Old Yao was a little confused.
His Majesty just scolded Prince Kang so much that he wished he could be beaten 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 latest person to have this honor was the late 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.
"Old slave, I don't dare." Lao Yao hurriedly bent down 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 little 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 Prince Kang from outside the territory and scolded him. At least it shows that he still has high hopes for Prince 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.
In Guilong City, there are two major Duke families. 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 pioneer the wilderness, and they were the founding heroes. They are powerful and have great achievements, and they are the right-hand men of the emperor.
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, both of the two major royal houses were from second-grade families, and their strength, prestige, and heritage were neck and neck. However, when the throne changed thousands of years ago, the two major royal families had completely opposite fates due to their different sides.
Due to the failure to support the new emperor, the strength and influence of the Daqian Wang family were severely weakened. Over the course of thousands of years, they gradually fell from the second rank to the third rank, and were even considered the weakest among the three major third-rank families. The existence with the lowest strength.
But the Wang family has the title of "Guogong's Mansion" after all. 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.
The Zhao family, Duke of Anguo, stood unswervingly behind Emperor Longchang and had the merit of following the dragon. In the past three thousand years, it has grown stronger and stronger, and has repeatedly married into powerful people in the royal family.
Today, the Zhao family has become a powerful family with four magical powers.
Furthermore, 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 the There are daily alternations of four supernatural powers, and occasionally there can 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 covers an extremely large area and is almost the same size as an acropolis. Within the main house, spiritual veins of various attributes are crisscrossed, and the rich spiritual energy is restrained by the formation, achieving a dynamic balance in an extremely complex way, just like a small-scale artificial paradise.
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 real mortals in the Zhao family mansion. Even a boy who sweeps the floor or a firewood girl who does menial work is a Xuanwu monk with the bloodline of the Qi Refining Realm.
As for the concierge, Uncle Zhao, he is a secretive general in the middle and late stages of the Heavenly Realm. In fact, even the concierge and guards are all Lingtai Mirror monks, and the cultivation level of the chief and deputy commanders has reached the early stage of the heavenly realm.
This kind of monks in the Lingtai Realm and Tianren Realm who can be called the ancestors of the local clan are actually the gatekeepers of the Zhao family! The background of Anguo Gongfu can be seen from this.
But as the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister.
Not everyone can be Zhao's concierge and concierge guards. Their status is quite high. Many children from low-class families came to visit the Zhao family, and when they asked for help from the Zhao family, they had to pass their greeting cards 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 look for relatives, visit and fawn over. A small half of them are from small sixth- and seventh-grade families in Guilong City, while the larger half are from major counties and cities outside Shangjing City.
In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who climb the dragon and follow the phoenix. The entrance of Zhao's family is bustling with people every day.
Suddenly.
The voice of a concierge came from a distance: "Miss Yijing went back to her hometown to be married."
As soon as the words fell, the lazy and uncle-like concierges of Anguo Palace 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 emperor. Preparations for the young lady's return home.
In the distance, a luxurious carriage drove slowly.
Each of the four horses pulling the carriage is a purebred third-order white jade snow horse without any variegation. The carriage and sedan are made of the finest ten thousand years old pine wood, exuding a light pine fragrance, which can be used quietly. The energy is concentrated, and it is also extremely light and strong. In conjunction with the talisman formation carved on the carriage, it can even barely block an attack from a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm!
Between the front and rear of the carriage, and on the left and right, there was a team of eight guards accompanying them.
Four of the captains of the guards are all at the Heavenly Realm. Next to the carriage, there was an old nanny in palace clothes walking with her.
This old nanny looks very inconspicuous, but only a truly strong person can detect the terrifying and powerful aura on her body, which 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 nobles gather.
Therefore, some visitors from out-of-town aristocratic families could not help but inquire in a low voice: "Hey, dear, 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 county king is famous and extremely wealthy.
There are some declining royal families, and only a few princes and princes are left to maintain their dignity. Their families are also losing their talents, and they all rely on the royal treasury to maintain their dignity.
Don't talk about showing off for such a prince. When meeting a rich, powerful and powerful prince like Prince Heng, his legs may become weak and he may not even dare to say anything.
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 it? Haha, of course it is the princess of the Wang family of Kang County, the quasi-emperor's son. Miss Yijing is The current legitimate daughter of the Zhao family, marrying Prince Kang is a strong 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.
"Jing'er pays homage to her ancestors."
Zhao Yijing, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, bowed and said respectfully.
"Jing'er doesn't need to be polite." Zhao Chengwen offered help 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 monk in the Purple Mansion Realm and 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 monk in the Purple Mansion Realm is beginning to enter middle-aged and old age.
Now his temples are slightly white, and he looks 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 empress, she will still be your Jing'er." Zhao Yijing's voice was soft and clear. After a complete salute, she took a seat in the guest seat.
Zhao Yijing is 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 Prince Kang officially inherits the throne of the emperor's son, as the emperor's first wife, she will be eligible to use the royal family's treasury accumulated over ten years. , and then promoted to the next level of bloodline in the Heavenly Realm, becoming 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, but most monks in the Purple Mansion Realm can only live to be more than seven hundred years old, and few can live beyond that. Eight hundred years old.
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 would be able to accompany the emperor for at least a thousand years, assisting him in managing the harem and the inner palace.
For this reason, 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 geniuses, Prince An and Prince Wang, made a fuss in Shangjing City and directly intervened in the dispute between the emperor and his son, which has caused a lot of damage to the inheritance. Influence. 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. 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 king at the time, did not stand. On her side, she 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. , accidentally injured."
"My sister went to the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty in a rage and has not returned yet. Because of this matter, our Duke Anguo also had a big quarrel with the Dexin family. In the end, His Majesty was alarmed, and His Majesty was The Holy Inquisitor 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 arrogant person, extremely arrogant. I don’t like Yongan’s cowardice and would rather work alone in the fairy court.”
Zhao Chengwen clearly remembers that he even beat the Yongan County Prince at that time.
"Alas~" When Zhao Chengwen talked about this, his face was still a little unhappy, "Yingji's child's personality is like that of my sister. He has been unruly since he was a child. Although he has always been kind to our Zhao family. But he really wants to Deciding to do something, let alone my uncle, is your Majesty. If you don’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 talk about 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 backstabbing behavior has done a lot of psychological damage to the supporters of her husband, Prince Kang. Not to mention, many of the royal relatives who supported their husband only joined the team because of Emperor Yingji's sake. Now that he has done this, many of the royal relatives are a little shaken.
"Jing'er, even His Majesty has acquiesced, so you must not use any tricks." Zhao Chengwen warned, "Do you understand why Your Majesty suddenly rewarded Kangjun Prince's Mansion with great fanfare at this juncture? He also gave you the second grade. The honor of a county princess."
"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 hint of joy on his face and analyzed it carefully for Zhao Yijing, "The previous person with this honor was Prince Hao. .Who is Prince Hao? 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 heart, but he has never really made his attitude clear. Recently, King An made a 'Dala Desert Development Plan', which caused a lot of fuss and won the support of many aristocratic families. On the surface, it seems It seems to have unlimited 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 that he already had a holy decree in his heart for the position of emperor's son. They stop and stop, don't jump around."
"In addition, naturally he felt a little guilty because of Yingji's incident. So he took advantage of the situation and gave Kangjun Prince a compensation to calm the panic."
Zhao Chengwen’s analysis is extremely reasonable.
Hearing this, Zhao Yijing's face relaxed, and her nervousness and dissatisfaction disappeared. In the dispute between emperor and son, although His Majesty cannot decide who belongs alone, his opinion is 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 smiled He said, "Jing'er, since you have returned to your parents' home, reunite with your relatives for a while and don't worry. 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 Baiyun Tower, a famous Internet celebrity restaurant.
A group of young officials are reorganizing and summarizing the account books, and the abacus is clicking very fast.
Stacks of golden tickets, even purple-gold tickets, placed in special encrypted money boxes, were piled all over the room, so golden that they almost blinded people's eyes.
Prince An Jun stared blankly at so many boxes of golden tickets, feeling that he had lived the first half of his life in vain.
I don’t know how long it will take.
The officials finally compiled the general ledger and presented it to Prince An and Wang Zongan.
Prince 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 aristocratic families in the capital who have profound foundations. How can they be so demanding and cause so much trouble 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 have 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, Lao Yao revealed privately that His Majesty meant that he was already old anyway, so the money would simply come from the treasury. From now on, whether the national treasury is in deficit or whether he is poor or not has nothing to do with him. If the national treasury is poor, let the successor emperor find a way...
Prince An was grateful and felt that what his majesty said made sense, 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 make a run for it and go to the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty to be happy and happy. ."
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, was a man who was extremely insecure. He liked to accumulate all kinds of trump cards and spent huge sums of money on research and development. This expenditure also accounted 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 an astronomical figure. Compared with Prince An, he was finally calmer.
"Calm down, calm down." Wang Zongan encouraged Prince An and said, "Compared to the total income in the future, this is just a small amount of money. This little money is only worth two or three magical treasures. It's not worth it. Let’s make money and run away...
Two or three supernatural treasures, just return them?
Prince An Jun glanced at Wang Zongan: "Young Clan Chief Zongan, 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 was bought by Master Tianhe by selling iron and borrowing money from everywhere. Isn’t this worth taking the money and running away?"
Supernatural treasure?
When talking about this, Wang Zongan was also a little speechless. Not long ago, he received news that his precious grandson Wang Anye got two magical treasures at once by breaking an array. One of the swords contained , there also lives an old man with a remnant soul who is in the late stage of the magical realm, and his value must be more expensive than ordinary magical treasures.
Co-author Wang Zongan and Prince An have been busy for so long, cheating and defrauding His Majesty. The result in the end is similar to Sun Tzu's casual fight outside the territory...
It's really irritating.
"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.
My grandson Wang Anye has a coin, which is 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 the money and ran away one by one. Do you think you take them seriously?
But everyone knows that these two big guys are joking. Once the Dala desert reclamation plan succeeds, what will this little money mean?
Several officials seriously criticized the bosses' arrogance, 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 our reputation. Your Majesty does not I know what I was thinking, but I actually canonized..."
"Okay, okay, everyone, don't presume to speculate on the holy will." Prince An comforted the young and outstanding officials, "The first step of our big plan this time has been a complete success. Next, we just need to be down-to-earth. Just do this well. As for the position of the emperor, naturally you can fight for it if you can. 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 feedback from all aspects, with a rather playful and playful expression on his face.
"Hey! The emperor's mind tricks, he said it as if no one knows how to play the emperor's mind tricks." Emperor Longchang was a little proud, "The battle between emperors and sons 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 mind, haha, you still have to learn it. But, out of your filial piety, I secretly helped you, no, two times, so you have to seize the opportunity."
"Let's fight, let's fight. The fight between the emperor and his son, if there is no fight, where will the fun be? 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 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 is old and has the capital to do whatever he wants.
Old Yao, who was accompanying him, lowered his head and broke out in cold sweat. This emperor's heart is really hard to figure out.
……
While there was a lot of disturbance 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, the game was completely defeated.
Wang Shouzhe immediately smiled 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 casual as casual chat.
Jiang Yusong’s expression froze, an unnatural flash appeared in his eyes, and 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. They are all regrets in the world." Wang Shouzhe poured tea for Jiang Yusong with his own hands and smiled calmly, "However, none of these are as sad as the end of three thousand years of emperors. The one who holds supreme power The Great Emperor, one word can determine the life and death of countless families, and his life will be full of glory. As he approaches old age and is about to die, although he understands that the transition of power is inevitable, he will inevitably become more sensitive, suspicious, and moody. Because he feels panic from time to time. , I have also become more desire to control, hoping to control all changes in my hands. These are human normal and 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 demon king. Your Majesty can place one or more spies beside him to control his actions and prevent him from running away. It can also assist him in doing things, and secretly help him to prevent him from being plotted, which is very reasonable and reasonable."
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 brave, so brave! Instead of trying to figure out the holy will, you actually said it so blatantly!
Furthermore, he really couldn’t figure out why he was exposed. Could this Wang Shouzhe Mo be able to 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. Just the dozen generals around Brother Long. Over the past few decades, every one of me has We have carefully investigated everything."
"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. If it is registered with the government, it is also a water bandit organization. Which person with an innocent fortune and a promising 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. A Wuji person, right?"
"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?"
"Everything is just speculation, Master Shouzhe. 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 back to Dragon City..." Wang Shouzhe shook his head helplessly and said, "Could it be that our Wang family's decades of management are in vain?"
"Ah!" Jiang Yusong suddenly slumped and said with a deathly expression, "Master Shouzhe, I am working for your Majesty, please show mercy."
"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 was shaken 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 follow him that day. With the eldest master, it was the eldest master who 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. Will Shouzhe secretly plot to kill him?"
Jiang Yusong was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Wang Shouzhe in shock: "I see, that's it. The master was suspicious at the time, and I was the most delicate and cautious among the people close to him. Bring me with you. It's the most natural and reasonable thing for me to do just in case."
"Being so calm has put me in the game. 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 separated by tens of thousands of miles. I was able to apply eye drops to Prince Kang in front of His Majesty, and he was able to find me as an insider. Patriarch Shouzhe, this is such a good plan! This two-birds-with-one-stone plan was so brilliantly used that Yusong had no choice but to accept it. However, if the Patriarch had calculated it, Is it wrong?"
"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 grass and help."
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~
Not good!
I, Jiang Yusong, today...
Dead.
