Chapter 157: The Emperor is laughing and talking
() Zhao Tuiguan can't wait for the world to be in turmoil, so that he can show his strengths in life, and he can mix a prince in the troubled times, so among the four, he seems to be the most excited.
Zhu Zhan said frankly: "Xiao Wang is deeply trusted by his father, was sent to the prosperous place of Hangzhou, and now he has been planning for many years, without any meager work, fortunately, his father has a lot of trust in Xiao Wang, and he will inform Xiao Wang of these three major threats, Xiao Wang is ready one by one, now is his father's last chance, if this time, I still can't succeed in one fell swoop, I will never have a chance to come out!"
"Say, little prince, what does the prince want us to do?" Wang Bin gritted his teeth and said.
Zhu Zhantan stood up, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: " Once the Hangzhou Canal is destroyed, the emperor's move to the capital will inevitably be postponed, the prince is in charge of Nanjing, in charge of half of the south of the Yangtze River, if you learn the news of the destruction of the canal, you will inevitably come to Hangzhou, as long as we take the opportunity to kill the prince in one fell swoop, it will inevitably cause chaos in the court, maybe because of the death of the prince, the matter of moving the capital will be stopped, first, I waited for the biggest hidden danger of my father, second, I also took this opportunity to let the emperor cancel the move to move the capital, third, there is no prince in Jiangnan, Jiangnan dragons have no leader, it is the time for you and me to show their talents, when the time comes to seize Hangzhou in one fell swoop, and respond to the father's army, you have made great contributions here, when my father ascends the throne as emperor in the future, can I miss your merits?"
Shen Qiuyan's narrow eyes glanced at Zhu Zhantan, who was excited, and said with a worried face: "Little prince, the prince has always had the name of benevolence and righteousness, and it was not easy to kill the prince when he followed Emperor Chengzu's northern expedition to Mongolia, and the prince has been supervising the country in Nanjing, so he may not be willing to go to Hangzhou without authorization for the sake of the canal."
Zhu Zhantan laughed cruelly: "If the canal doesn't work, we will make a big move, I don't believe that Zhu Zhanji can sit still in Nanjing?"
Shen Qiuyan frowned slightly, this little prince is so happy, he is too arbitrary in everything, how can such a person achieve great things, if it weren't for the sect leader's insistence on assisting him, this girl would be difficult to serve.
After thinking about it, he said: "Little prince, the prince is the prince of the country, related to the great plan of a country, although the canal is heavy, it is not enough to influence the situation of the imperial court, the little prince pinned the assassination of the prince on a canal, it is too child's play, right, the current prince, is not Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui Yang-?"
Zhu Zhantan was a little displeased, but at the moment Maitreya Sect is very useful to him, and this time the destruction of the canal is also dependent on Maitreya Sect, it is precisely in view of this that he tolerates Shen Qiuyan to contradict again and again, otherwise, according to his temperament, where can a woman interject, at this time he had to restrain the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: " If it is really as Miss Shen said, a mere canal is not enough to attract his attention, then let's play bigger, you Maitreya Sect attack Hangzhou City, I believe this is enough to attract him to Hangzhou south?"
Shen Qiuyan and Shen Xiaoyue's master and servant were taken aback, that is, Wang Bin and Yang Yifeng were also taken aback, attacking Hangzhou City, it was not a small fight, it was a blatant rebellion, this is not a joke, get the canal, at most fool the people, but if you want to attack Hangzhou City, it is a big crime, once the matter fails, it will be a big disaster to destroy the house!
Shen Qiuyan gritted her silver teeth, stared at Zhu Zhan and said: "Your Highness, although my Maitreya Sect has developed a lot, but its strength is still weak, and this Hangzhou city is strong, it may not be able to be captured, if the target is exposed at this time, in the future, the prince will raise troops, wouldn't it be less of a loyal force, and please think twice, it is absolutely impossible to attack the city of Hangzhou now?"
Zhu Zhantan snorted coldly and said: "This matter will be talked about later, the most important thing at the moment is to do everything possible to carry out the destruction of the Jiangnan Canal, and it is best to encourage the ignorant people, so as to attract the attention of Nanjing, and cause the prince to come to Hangzhou, so as to kill him in one fell swoop!"
Zhu Zhantan's voice was undoubted, Wang Bin wanted to say something, but when he saw the gloomy face of the little prince, his lips moved, and he didn't say much.
As long as this little prince does not attack Hangzhou City at this time, how to encourage the people of Hangzhou to sabotage the Jiangnan Canal is not something she can control, and what she said just now vaguely caused Zhu Zhantan's unhappiness, she doesn't want to say more, to put it bluntly, this is the Zhu family's family matter, she is really not an outsider to say anything?
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Zhantan's face looked much better, he smiled, and said: "Xiao Wang knows, you must vigorously support your father's grand cause?
Everyone hurriedly returned the salute, Zhu Zhantan waved his hand, and suddenly shouted to the side: "Someone?"
A burly middle-aged guard with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in in response, hugged his fists and said, "Little prince, you called me-?"
Everyone's eyes fell on this person, although he was wearing a guard costume, but the power exuded from his body could almost be torn out, and it made people shudder without looking at the murderous aura he exuded all over his body.
This person's name is Liu Wu, he is a lieutenant under Zhu Gaoxi's command that year, his martial arts are extremely high, Zhu Gaoxi asked himself if he was not his opponent, he trusted him very much, and he also valued him very much, and he kept him by his side as a guard when Zhu Gaoxi was crowned king, and he has been following Zhu Gaoxi over the years, and has become one of Zhu Gaoxi's henchmen.
Wang Bin, Zhao Tuiguan, and Yang Yifeng didn't know what Zhu Zhantan wanted to do, and when they saw him drink casually, they found such a powerful character, and they were immediately surprised.
Zhu Zhantan saw the look in everyone's eyes, and for a while, he turned to Liu Wu and said, "What Xiao Wang asked him to do, can he do it well?"
Liu Wuyi hugged his fists and said: "Back to the little prince, I have secretly recruited a lot of warriors in Hangzhou over the years, plus some people a few days ago, there are more than 3,000 people, most of them are people from the rivers and lakes of Hangzhou, there are three religions and nine streams, once the little prince has a life, he will do everything!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts moved, and Shen Qiuyan frowned slightly, she originally thought that Zhu Zhantan only relied on their Maitreya Sect, but now it seems that he has secretly gathered a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, no wonder he is so arrogant, he actually has the intention of attacking the city of Hangzhou?"
A smile welled up in Zhu Zhantan's eyes, and his slender fingers tapped lightly on the coffee table, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Use the three sects and nine streams, and make sure they do their best to destroy the Jiangnan Canal, the bigger the better?"
Liu Wu hugged his fists and said, "I understand!" After speaking, he turned around and left.
Wang Bin looked at Liu Wu, who was leaving, cautiously leaned over, and said, "This matter is a big matter, and the little prince must be cautious?"
Zhu Zhantan smiled and said, "Everyone, please rest assured, it won't be long before you hear the news that the prince is coming to Hangzhou, and when the time comes, you still need to rely on your support for the assassination?"
Everyone was shocked, Zhu Zhantan left the assassination of the prince to them, which obviously made them have no way out, and they must follow him down the road to the dark.
Without waiting for everyone to agree, Zhao Tuiguan laughed, hugged his fists and said: "This is the best, as long as the prince dares to come to Hangzhou, I Zhao Biao will be the first to be assassinated!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Zhu Zhantan laughed and said, "Then please leave it to you?" After speaking, his eyes swept over Yang Yifeng's face, and he said nonchalantly: "Young Master Yang, in a few days, it will be the annual battle of the Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Yang Yifeng's body trembled, he hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "Back to the little prince, there are still three days?"
Zhu Zhantan hummed and said: "My father is about to raise troops, and I need a lot of silver taels, the little prince has supported your Yang family for many years, and the picture is the prosperous place of Hangzhou, but your Yang family has lost the Chamber of Commerce year after year, and has not yet accused Hangzhou businessmen, if this matter is known by the father, Xiao Wang really doesn't know what to do?"
Yang Yifeng was half frightened to death, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said: "Little prince, please rest assured, this time the grass people have made careful preparations, Li Xu, the talented son of the Peng family, was killed by my family, without Li Xu, it is difficult for the Peng family to win the battle of the Chamber of Commerce, this year's battle of the Chamber of Commerce, my Yang family will definitely win and drive the Peng family out of Hangzhou!"
Zhu Zhantan snorted and said, "I hope Young Master Yang won't let Xiao Wang down?" After a pause, he said: "The Peng family's descendant surnamed Yang is not simple, the pairs of the eldest lady of the Peng family are difficult for Xiao Wang to match, this talent is not under Li Xu, it should not be underestimated, if it can be used by Xiao Wang, it is the best, if not, hehe-?"
Yang Yifeng's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Little prince rest assured, the villain knows what to do, and he will never let the little prince down!"
Zhu Zhan said frankly: "Then the little prince is waiting for the good news of your Yang family!"
An autumn rain is dripping and dripping, bringing a hint of coolness after the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River.
But no one in the entire Peng family's mansion felt this faint coolness, and the entire mansion was busy, because in three days it was the annual battle of the Chamber of Commerce, and today the Peng family attached great importance to this war without gunpowder, no wonder, everyone knew that this was the battle of life and death for the Peng family, and there was no room for sloppiness.
There has always been the Peng family's funding, and the talented people of the Peng family who were placed in Jixian Academy have also been recruited back one after another, and everyone in the house knows that this time the battle of the Chamber of Commerce can be won or not, most of them rely on them, so everyone has reverence for the talents who have been exiled.
The most idle in the entire mansion is Yang Zheng, since he helped solve the coarse salt of the Peng family, has recruited relatives of the eldest lady of the Peng family, and has the official seal of the county commander, Yang Zheng's status in the Peng family is a thousand miles away, and he has already become the first Ding of the Peng family, except for the eldest lady and Mrs. Peng, no one dares to be disrespectful to him.
