Chapter 147: On Meritorious Deeds
Recently, there was a big incident in the capital, the prince took the elite Yu Weilin, and directly destroyed a den of privately casting weapons near Da Banyan Village on the outskirts of the city, and found that there were several rich iron ores there, and about thousands of laborers from several villages were arrested here to refine weapons. In addition, a large number of forged weapons, armor and other finished products were also seized. The prince released all the villagers who had been arrested to do coolies, and gave a certain amount of pensions, and for a while, several villagers were grateful to Dade, and dozens of people were promoted, carrying some local things, and came to the capital to thank the prince. Suddenly, the crown prince's fame soared rapidly, and his status as the heir to the throne was unshakable.
But it's a pity that when arresting the leaders who forged weapons without permission, the news accidentally leaked out, and the supervisor there escaped in disguise and mixed in the crowd. Dali Temple has filed a case, in response to this case of privately casting weapons, suspected of rebellion, a nationwide investigation, and set up a heavy reward for whistleblowers.
On this night, the bright moon hung in the sky, and the prince was full of spirit, so that people set up a banquet in the garden, and only Shangwu was invited to the banquet.
After entering the table, after three rounds of drinking, the prince was slightly drunk, happily patted Shangwu's shoulder, and said: "Okay, according to your report, this prince sent troops directly to the big banyan tree village, and sure enough, he found this deeply hidden secret." With such abundant mineral deposits and so many forged weapons, fortunately we went in time, otherwise, this large number of weapons would have been transferred to the hands of those with bad intentions, and the world would not be peaceful. ”
Shang Wu said: "The prince is wise and decisive." Only by making a decision at the right time will the people of the world be prevented from suffering from war again. ”
The prince was in a very good mood and raised his head to drink a glass of wine. Looking at Shang Wu Dao: "You are very smart, you can dig up such a big secret just by a few words from that old woman, good! Your Shang clan has always been loyal to our dynasty, and you are no exception, this prince has seen your loyalty, and has recommended you to the emperor, and you will soon be the squire of the military department." In the future, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, work hard, and do more things that benefit the country and the people!"
Shangwu didn't expect the day to come so quickly. left the table at the moment, knelt down in front of the prince, and said gratefully: "Weichen must do his best to do his best for the common people in the world." Death and then death. ”
The prince smiled. Personally helped Shangwu up.
Shang Wu hesitated for a moment, made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you talk about this matter, the biggest credit is not in Weichen. ”
The prince was about to drink another glass of wine, but he was stunned for a moment, put down the wine cup, and let out an "oh". "What did you say?"
Shang Wu said: "Actually, the whole thing was not discovered by Weichen first. It was Miss Gu Wu from the Yuanning Hou Mansion. ”
The prince frowned suddenly: "Is it her?" In front of him, a beautiful figure appeared.
Shang Wu said: "Miss Gu Wu is talented and intelligent, when the three of us lived in Big Banyan Village, in the question to the eldest lady, Miss Gu Wu accidentally asked about the strange phenomenon that happened in Big Banyan Village recently. Afterwards, Miss Gu Wu told Weichen that she didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods in this world at all, but anyone who said that there were ghosts and gods must have played a pretense for some purpose. She asked Wechen to go to the haunted place at night to investigate, Wechen went according to his words, and sure enough, he heard the sound of striking iron from the cave in that place, although it was not very clear, but Wechen had been a blacksmith in the most difficult time, so he was very familiar with the sound of making iron, and the molten iron flowing out of the cave also proved Wechen's guess. So Wei Chen and Miss Gu Wu carefully deliberated before reporting to the prince. ”
She was able to relate to the haunting. The prince shook his head slightly, "Gu Zhirong, what kind of person are you?"
Shang Wu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the current prince would actually know the name of a deep lady.
He thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, at that time, Weichen was also the same as the prince, and Miss Gu Wu said that she loved to listen to the storytellers in the teahouse outside the house since she was a child, and the more grotesque the better, and over time, she formed such thinking." She also said that on weekdays, others would think her ideas were too grotesque, but she didn't expect it to really come in handy at the critical moment. ”
"Really?" said the prince lightly, "did she say anything else?"
Shang Wu thought for a moment and shook his head: "No." Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he glanced at the prince with some concern.
The prince couldn't help but laugh a little: "Now there are only you and me here, what else can't you say?"
Shang Wu still felt worried: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive Weichen for not being guilty, otherwise, Weichen will not dare to say it." ”
The prince nodded: "Okay, forgive your innocence, you can say it." I want to see what earth-shattering things this little girl can say. ”
Shang Wu smiled: "It's not an earth-shattering word, Miss Gu Wu said that if this matter is rewarded for meritorious deeds, she should also have a share." However, she didn't lack anything now, and she couldn't think of anything for the time being, so she only made one request, asking the prince to promise to help her do something, as for what it was, she hadn't thought of it yet, and when she thought of it, she would naturally tell the prince about you. ”
The prince was stunned for a moment: "Do you want me to agree first?" Could it be that if she wants me to kill people and set fires, I have to do it?"
When Shang Wu Fang said those words, his heart rose to his throat, and he saw that there was no trace of annoyance on the prince's face, but he was slightly stunned. Only then did he dare to say with confidence: "At that time, Weichen also asked her like this, but Miss Gu Wu said that of course she would not let the prince do anything harmful, and her request was harmless to humans and animals, and she asked the prince to rest assured." ”
"This little girl. The prince shook his head helplessly, "I want to work on what I do, but I'm afraid it's something that no one in the world can do." "In the final analysis, it is still necessary to take advantage of his identity and status as a prince.
Shang Wu looked at the prince a little nervously and said, "If the prince thinks it is inappropriate, Weichen will refuse Miss Gu Wu and let her order any gold, silver and jewelry or something, which will be counted as a reward." ”
The prince waved his hand and said, "No need, she may not be able to see those gold, silver and jewelry or something." That's okay, you go and reply to her, just say that the prince should go, but this matter can't be delayed for too long, half a year is limited, and if she doesn't make any demands in half a year, it will be invalidated. ”
Shang Wuxin said: "The prince is really strong and not coerced. Even if you are in response to others, you have to attach some conditions to go up yourself. This aura is really not comparable to ordinary people. ”
However, he felt even more strange that the prince actually accepted the request of a lady from the Boudoir Pavilion without thinking, and this request was indeed a bit of a scoundrel. That Miss Gu Wu is tricky and eccentric, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not mention some strange conditions to the prince, what if the prince can't cope with it when the time comes?
What's more, that Miss Gu Wu is not taking the route of ordinary people, even the prince dares to tease, if the conditions she proposed are too bizarre and anger the prince, then what should she do?
At this time, Shangwu, after experiencing those tribulations, involuntarily regarded the prince and Gu Zhirong as his friends. He felt uncomfortable when either of them turned their faces. He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly felt funny. What are you worried about? Since the prince is the future monarch, he must have the bearing of the future monarch, and he can't afford to deal with a weak woman. And Miss Gu Wu is not only the concubine of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, but also has the demeanor of everyone's ladies, how can such two outstanding people quarrel? (To be continued......)
