"But whether this matter involves the crown prince or not is not certain. ”

As a child of the Sun family, Sun Tao knows a little bit.

The eighth prince, Zhao Ting, is the crown prince's person, everyone knows it.

Two were born to one mother.

For so many years, the crown prince has not been liked by Emperor Qian, but his position in the court has become more and more stable.

Zhao Ting contributed a lot.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sun Tao and Xu Qingsong left.

Tang Yuan didn't let them stay in the mansion, and was going to let them stay in the mansion for a few days.

The Sun family also has an industry in Hanzhou City.

Therefore, Sun Taowan said goodbye.

After staying in Hanzhou for a few days, they prepared to leave Hanzhou and go to Yangzhou to wait for Emperor Qiandi to go to Jiangnan.

Tang Yuan didn't keep it either.

If Sun Tao is willing to accept the Blood Bodhi, he is also ready to hand over the Snow Drinking Madness Knife to him.

But Sun Tao was unwilling, then he definitely couldn't hand over the five-star weapon Snow Drink Crazy Knife.

......

Jiangnan, Yangzhou.

"Your Royal Highness, according to the distance calculation, Your Majesty will be able to reach Yangzhou in three days. ”

Yangzhou Thorn Shi Lou Chunhua bowed and said.

And standing in front of him was the eighth prince of Daqian, Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting is different from the crown prince Zhao Zhi, more like a gentle and elegant reader.

"I heard that during this time, people from the rivers and lakes gathered in Yangzhou?"

Zhao Ting nodded slightly, and he knew exactly when Emperor Qian would arrive in Jiangnan.

But the gathering of people in the rivers and lakes in Jiangnan is what he has to consider.

Lou Chunhua was stunned.

He is a thorn and is in charge of the government affairs of Yangzhou.

Moreover, compared with other states, he has more rights as a Yangzhou assassin.

In the past few days, he has indeed heard that many Jianghu sects have gathered in Jiangnan, but the specific things are not clear to him yet.

Therefore, Lou Chunhua said truthfully: "Eighth Highness, the lower officials have heard about it at this time, but I am afraid that the specific matters still need to be asked about the six doors." ”

Zhao Ting was silent for a while, looking at Lou Chunhua quietly, a little distracted.

Lou Chunhua's forehead gradually showed sweat.

He thought it was wrong.

At this time, Zhao Ting suddenly asked: "Lu Shenyu, have you been staying in Yangzhou during this time?"

"Yes, it's been a few months. ”

Lou Chunhua didn't know what the Eighth Prince meant by asking about this, but he also said truthfully.

"So long?"

Zhao Ting frowned slightly and whispered.

"Do you know what happened to Lord Lu in Yangzhou, and he never returned to Beijing?"

Lou Chunhua shook his head.

How did he know what Lu Tianxing was doing?

Lu Tianxing said one thing at the six doors, where can he manage it, and he will not inquire for no reason.

However, I also heard a little rumor.

"Lord Lu is still in Yangzhou, His Royal Highness may wish to summon him to the palace to meet him. ”

Lou Chunhua thought for a while and said.

Zhao Ting pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, when my father arrives, we will naturally be able to meet, and there will be no need for the time being."

By the way, you go and tell Lord Lu and ask him to beware of the movements of various forces.

When His Majesty arrives in Yangzhou, the rivers and lakes are too chaotic. ”

"This ......"

Lou Chunhua hesitated: "Is it inappropriate to let this official go in this matter?"

At this critical moment, he was reluctant to have more contact with Lu Tianxing.

"Then you send someone. ”

Zhao Ting didn't force him either.

Lou Chunhua nodded helplessly.

"Your Majesty is going to Jiangnan this time, what are the arrangements, and the lower officials are well prepared. ”

Lou Chunhua asked.

Zhao Ting said: "You don't need to worry about this matter." ”

Lou Chunhua also asked casually.

This was the first time that the Eighth Prince had set up the palace, and he had been there to assist him every time before.

However.

This time, he left him aside, making him wonder for a while.

"Lord Lou, is the head catcher of the six gates of Hanzhou called Tang Yuan?"

Zhao Ting put his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and suddenly asked.

"Exactly, I heard that this person is stirring up trouble in Hanzhou, and the rivers and lakes are in turmoil, but he is the deputy chief of the six doors, and no one can control him, so the rivers and lakes in Hanzhou have been unstable. ”

Lou Chunhua nodded, he knew Hanzhou quite well, and it was also some time ago that the six doors of Hanzhou were in an uproar, and it was impossible to think about it.

Zhao Ting frowned slightly, and asked, "Lord Lu didn't reprimand him a few words, just let him mess around like this?"

That's not a good thing.

Lou Chunhua's eyes changed, and he seemed to hear His Royal Highness's dissatisfaction with Tang Yuan, so he said: "I haven't heard of this, but that Tang Yuan is from a reckless background and unruly, even if Lord Lu reprimands him a few words, I'm afraid he won't pay attention to it."

Later, he formed a bond with the Sea Shark Gang, so the rivers and lakes of Hanzhou will be turbulent. ”

Speaking of this, Lou Chunhua suddenly remembered that it seemed that Tang Yuan had arrested all the people in Hanzhou Sifanglou.

No wonder His Highness the Eighth would mention this.

"Your Highness is talking about the Sifang Tower?"

Lou Chunhua asked tentatively.

Zhao Ting hesitated for a while, but he didn't hide it, and nodded in admit.

"This matter is really not easy to do, or at the stall where Your Majesty is about to arrive in Jiangnan. ”

Lou Chunhua frowned, his eyes showed a contemplative look, he thought for a while and said: "Tang Yuan, this person, even if the lower official is far away in Yangzhou, he has heard of him, his talent is not enough, his strength is strong, and he doesn't even take the Sea Shark Gang in his eyes. ”

"I've heard about it. ”

Zhao Ting said with a cold face: "Nian Rusong inspects the salt business, he is using the power of the six doors, otherwise how can he have the ability to shake the rivers and lakes." ”

"If the adult is worried about the Sifang Building, you might as well let him come over and reprimand him face to face, presumably he will not dare to disobey the yang and the yin. ”

Lou Chunhua proposed.

"Confused!"

Zhao Ting suddenly scolded and said: "Lu Tianxing is in Yangzhou, if His Royal Highness doesn't say hello to him, and directly call the six doors and one state to come over and reprimand him, wouldn't it be a matter of giving people a handle." What's more, six doors and one state are arrested, how can they be reprimanded casually. ”

Lou Chunhua slandered in his heart.

What can't be reprimanded casually.

It's just that the other party is strong, and he is reckless, and he is reprimanded heavily, and it is very likely that the husband will be angry and blood will be splashed five steps.

It's not like this hasn't happened before.

Jianghu people can do it and will never reason with you, like their civil and official system, they don't want to provoke the six doors at all.

If these people were not shaken by Cangxingchao, it would be really lawless.

"Then His Highness sent a letter to that Lord Tang, believing that he would be interested. ”

Lou Chunhua came up with another idea.

Zhao Ting nodded slightly, and said: "Before, I sent my subordinates to Hanzhou in person without success, what is the use of a letter, this deputy chief of the six doors of Hanzhou has put all the blame on the head of the salt patrol imperial history Nian Rusong, it is really slippery." ”

At the end, Zhao Ting suddenly laughed.

"His Royal Highness personally wrote a letter, I believe that Tang Yuan will not dare not listen. ”

Lou Chunhua was also not sure, and said hesitantly.

Subsequently, Zhao Ting didn't say much, and personally wrote a letter to Lou Chunhua.

The two chatted for a few words, and Lou Chunhua withdrew.

Zhao Ting fell into deep thought, and the reason why he didn't see Lu Tianxing was also for a reason.

If it weren't for the faint meaning of the six doors to support the fourth brother, after he arrived in Yangzhou, the first thing he would see was Lu Tianxing.

He is one of the four great gods of the six gates, and his status is extremely high.

It can even influence the attitude of Cangxing Dynasty.

But although Cangxing Chao did not support the fourth brother openly, Liu Xiang and the fourth brother secretly got close.

He also had to guard against it.

Now, he is most worried about the Sifang Building.

But it's clearly too late to stop it, so let's wait and see.

Two days later.

Tang Yuan received a letter from the Eighth Prince in the palace.

Looking at the contents inside, Tang Yuan couldn't help but sneer.

He is really not afraid of the so-called prince.

"Brother Tang, what is the attitude of the Eighth Prince?"

Hou Yuanqing asked as he stood aside.

Tang Yuan threw the letter to Hou Yuanqing and said, "This Eighth Highness is warning me, let me release people, Nian Rusong has his own side to talk about it." ”

"Then what is Brother Tang going to do?"

Hou Yuanqing read the contents of the letter and asked with a frown.

"Naturally, I won't let go, the words of the eighth prince won't be used, and he won't give me any benefits, why should I listen to him and release people. ”

Tang Yuan said with a sneer.

In his eyes, the prince is not as good as a powerhouse in the Yuan God Realm.

No matter how high the status is, he is afraid of the strong.

And he is the strongest.

There is no order from Nian Rusong, and it is just an excuse for him.

A civil official, how could he order him.

"Then according to Brother Tang's words. ”

Hou Yuanqing used to be a disciple of King Kong Temple, and he had killed six doors to catch heads, so he didn't have much reverence for the imperial court at all.

Not only Hou Yuanqing, but many Jianghu forces have no reverence for the imperial court.

If it weren't for the six-door crackdown in the states, those civil officials would have died many times.

Especially a yamen like the Salt Division.

"According to the secret agent's information, the Qianhuang will arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow, and during this time, let the counties quickly maintain stability in the counties, and the means should not be excessive. ”

Tang Yuan commanded.

The Emperor is coming.

You have to save face.

If you insist on not listening, then you can only use thunderous means.

At this time, Tang Yuan didn't know that Nian Rusong was packing his bags and preparing to go to Yangzhou.

"My lord, isn't it appropriate for us to go directly to Yangzhou?"

Liu Bai hesitated: "When the time comes, Your Majesty will definitely summon us to go, but we don't have to go over now, so as not to have an accident." ”

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty will go to Yangzhou tomorrow, from Hanzhou to Yangzhou, it will take at least two days, if you delay a little time, I'm afraid it will take three or four days, at this time Your Majesty will also settle down, and this official must tell Your Majesty the truth about the matter of the Salt Division in time, so as not to let someone deceive the Holy Hearing. ”

Nian Rusong knows better than anyone who is around His Majesty.

There are too many interests involved in the salt division, and he must go to Yangzhou immediately, and as soon as His Majesty settles down, he will take advantage of the situation to report the matter.

With his identity as a salt patrol imperial history, he is not afraid that he will not see the emperor.

This is his strength.

Like Tang Yuan is going to see the emperor, he really can't really see it.

Since ancient times, officials who can listen to the heavens should not be underestimated.

"However, you can't summon it, it's not in accordance with the rules for adults to go to Yangzhou. ”

Liu Bai said urgently.

He was a little worried that the adults would go to Yangzhou and be impeached by the imperial history.

Whether this matter is big or small, it depends on whose interests are moved.

Simply, this time the prince is not there.

But he was also accompanied by several princes.

What kind of attitude these people have is not clear for the time being.

Adults fight alone, and the results may not be so good.

"Hmmm......"

Nian Rusong groaned, it was indeed unruly.

He can't be summoned, and he can't go to Yangzhou casually.

"It's okay, the official personally went to Yangzhou to collect and pay the salt tax, and by the way, he met the salt merchants in Jiangnan. ”

Nian Rusong suddenly smiled and said.

The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are basically in Yangzhou, which has also created the prosperity of Yangzhou.

Speaking of this, Liu Bai no longer persuaded each other.

"Do you want to inform Tang Yuan?"

Liu Bai reminded.

"No, he should know my whereabouts soon. ”

Nian Rusong smiled and said: "He has a lot of energy in Hanzhou, in Hanzhou City, his eyeliner should be more than the Governor's Palace, so there is no need to specifically inform him, anyway, he shouldn't be able to go to Yangzhou in a short time, otherwise he can join forces with him." ”

"He can't see His Majesty again, how can he join forces?"

Liu Bai laughed.

"But he can see Lu Tianxing. ”

Nian Ru Songtou did not reply.

The two chatted for a while.

The group left the Yansi Mansion and went straight to Yangzhou.

A quarter of an hour after Nian Rusong left.

A secret agent reported the matter to Tang Yuan.

Hearing the news, Tang Yuan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Nian Rusong to be so anxious.

And no wonder.

The Eighth Prince is in Yangzhou.

When all the dust fell to the ground, and when the emperor summoned him, the cucumber dishes were cold.

"Go down. ”

Tang Yuan waved his hand, asked the spy to retreat, and said to Hou Yuanqing: "I don't know if I need to go to Yangzhou." ”

"I can't say, the people from the rivers and lakes have gathered in Yangzhou recently, and it has become more and more chaotic, and it is a bit stretched to the limit by relying on the six doors of Yangzhou alone. ”

Hou Yuanqing was very sensitive to this news, and said to Tang Yuan: "Jiangzhou and Lanzhou have both arrived in Yangzhou. ”

"Really?"

Tang Yuan was surprised: "This official is so close to Yangzhou, why doesn't Lord Lu let me go to Yangzhou?"

Hou Yuanqing shook his head slightly, not very clear.

However, while the two were discussing the matter.

Yangzhou came with Lu Tianxing's order.

Tang Yuan took the letter handed over by the secret agent, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu summoned me to Yangzhou, but I don't need to bring too many people, and I don't have to make a big fanfare, I don't know why." ”

It stands to reason that if he goes to Yangzhou to maintain stability, then he will not say that he will go out of the nest, but also take most of the people.

"When are you leaving?"

Hou Yuanqing asked.

"Get ready, get ready, and get going. ”

After a pause, Tang Yuan added, "You and I will go together." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaozhuo was called over.

Let him stay in the palace.

Now, all eyes are focused on Yangzhou, and Zhu Gaozhuo's ability is enough to guard the government.

After everything was explained, Tang Yuan and Hou Yuanqing set off for Yangzhou.

And at this time.

Outside the city of Yangzhou, all the officials stood in two columns to welcome the arrival of Emperor Qian.

At noon, a huge chariot slowly ran over and was heavily protected.

Those people in the rivers and lakes who were watching from a distance were also in their hearts.

There are definitely masters in this.

"Greetings to Your Majesty. ”

Before the chariot came, hundreds of officials knelt on the ground to greet him.

Crunchy......

The wheels run over.

When the chariot arrived in front of the hundred officials, the curtain on the chariot was suddenly opened, revealing an old man with a wrinkled face and an old man, dressed in yellow civilian clothes, glanced around at the hundred officials, and said in a very majestic voice: "Flatten." ”

The chariot continued to move forward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

All the officials got up in unison, but they still bowed to the chariots that were moving.

"Whew!"

When the chariot went away and entered the city, the hundred officials quietly breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the palace in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, the physical fitness in this world is generally high, otherwise it is a question whether those old officials can persevere.
