The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is like a green ribbon that winds around Linqing City. At the bend of this streamer, there is an artificially stacked green hillock that stretches for miles.

And here, is the most famous scenic spot in Linqing - Phoenix Ridge.

Here, there are waterfalls hanging high, streams murmuring, clear springs gushing, pond water blue, insects singing birds, colorful butterflies, pine maple green fields, mountain flowers splendid. You can not only enjoy the strange stone and famous spring, but also climb the Moon Pavilion to look at the pine forest sea, the towering Mount Tai, the scenery is beautiful, and people forget to return.

When Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen got off the carriage and saw the scenery of Phoenix Ridge, they were also very happy, although they were hindered by their own talents, and did not write a poem on the spot as a souvenir, but they were also enthusiastic to take Zhao Junchen and others to wander around, and visited most of the scenic spots of Phoenix Ridge.

On this day, not only the heavens are beautiful, the wind is beautiful, the air is fresh, and people are refreshed, and more importantly, the "luck" of Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen is also good, when Emperor Deqing is thirsty, there will be vendors selling sugar water nearby, when Emperor Deqing is tired, there will be porters or carriages not far away, when Emperor Deqing feels bored, there will be impromptu performances of tourists around, or scholars chanting poems, or girls singing, or old people telling stories......

And, on this day, the tourists who come to Phoenix Ridge to go out are not much, not less, just right, that is, it seems to be lively, and do not feel crowded and dense, the tourists are either the kind old man who is in good spirits, or the beautiful girl who is as beautiful as a flower, or the young scholar who is polite and polite, they have a harmonious atmosphere, they are happy, polite, and well-dressed, if you only look at these visitors of Phoenix Ridge. It seems that today's Ming Dynasty is in the prosperous period of Chengping when the people are safe and the country is safe, and the road is not forgotten!

But actually. The qiē shown in front of Emperor Deqing was just a deliberate arrangement by Zhao Junchen and Shandong Governor Lu Yuanan!

During the tour with Emperor Deqing. Zhao Junchen has been observing the words and emotions on the side, and keenly grasped the changes in the state of Emperor Deqing, and then under Zhao Junchen's secret notice, the sugar water vendors, carriage and horse porters, and those folk performance artists arranged by Lu Yuanan can naturally show up just right.

In Phoenix Ridge, Lu Yuanan also sent people to clean and repair it overnight, and the tourists who appeared in Phoenix Ridge today were carefully selected by Lu Yuanan, as for those who were disheveled, rude in words and deeds, and had poor appearances. On this day, it was impossible to get close to Phoenix Ridge within ten miles.

In short, this qiē is a deliberately arranged performance, planned by Zhao Junchen himself and carefully directed by Lu Yuanan, during which nearly 1,000 logistics personnel and hundreds of extras were mobilized.

Zhao Junchen didn't know if Emperor Deqing had found out if he had found out, but as long as Emperor Deqing did his best, this was just a trivial matter - because as long as Emperor Deqing had done his best, he would not pursue the details. In this respect, Emperor Deqing was a very generous emperor.

When the outing at Phoenix Ridge ended, the time was close to noon as Zhao Junchen expected. And Emperor Deqing was also a little hungry.

Then, under Zhao Junchen's arrangement, the carriage appeared immediately. And drove Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen to the most famous restaurant in Linqing City-Li Jia's old shop.

In the old store of the Li family, there is naturally the careful arrangement of Zhao Junchen and Lu Yuanan. When Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen came here, although there were many diners. But they are all like the tourists of Phoenix Ridge, all of them are well-dressed and polite, and they gather together to eat together, but no one is loud and noisy, and when the diners are almost full, the best window table in the store is still empty!

So, Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen sat down at the best table in the store and ordered some of the most famous dishes here, and these famous dishes that had been made for a long time were quickly placed in front of Emperor Deqing, and their taste was much more delicious than usual!

Tasting Shandong food, Emperor Deqing became more and more satisfied, and only felt that this private visit to the micro-service accompanied by Zhao Junchen was the most comfortable one among his many micro-service private visits over the years.

After having a full lunch, Emperor Deqing was looking forward to this afternoon's trip.

However, an incident that made Emperor Deqing feel very disappointing, under the arrangement of someone with a heart, appeared so unexpectedly.

…………

On this afternoon, according to Zhao Junchen's arrangement, Emperor Deqing should go to Dasi Street to visit the most famous "Four Great Temples of Linqing" nearby.

And Emperor Deqing himself believed in Buddhism very much, so he was naturally very much looking forward to this.

After leaving the Li family's old shop, Zhao Junchen asked: "Master Huang, as far as the students know, that Dasi Street is not far from here, and there are only three streets in between, so let's go by carriage next?" Or do you want to go on foot? ”

Emperor Deqing was in a very good mood at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided with a smile: "I just had a full lunch, let's go on a walk, after all, the distance is not far, and it also helps to digest food." ”

Regarding Emperor Deqing's suggestion, Zhao Junchen naturally agreed.

So, under the guidance of Zhao Junchen, Emperor Deqing and others walked in the direction of Dasi Street while talking about what they had seen and heard today.

However, when he walked halfway, the continuous cheers in a teahouse on the side of the street aroused the interest of Emperor Deqing.

At this time, the crowd in this teahouse was dense, and there were many tea customers, and they didn't know what they had encountered, they were all excited and inexplicable.

"This teahouse is very lively, and it has a more folk atmosphere than the old Li family's shop just now, but I don't know what interesting things happened inside." Emperor Deqing was attracted by the cheers in the teahouse, and after stopping to look at the teahouse for a moment, he turned his head to Zhao Junchen and smiled.

Zhao Junchen listened for a moment and explained: "It seems that there is a storyteller in it who is telling a story, or the story is interesting, which is why the people are so excited." ”

Emperor Deqing nodded and smiled: "Oh? In this case, it is still early, and we are not in a hurry to go to Dasi Street. Let's go in and listen to it, and see what the storyteller in the teahouse is talking about. It makes the people so excited, and it can be regarded as our monarch and minister having fun with the people today! ”

However. Zhao Junchen went against Emperor Deqing's decision for the first time and objected: "Your Majesty, this is not big, right? Such a folk teahouse is not only dirty and messy, but also mixed, and those folk storytellers are also mixed, and many stories are unbearable, so you go in like this. I'm afraid it's ......."

It's just that before Zhao Junchen's words were finished, Emperor Deqing interrupted unhappily: "What are you afraid of, is it possible that I can't even endure these little things?" What's more, the folk teahouse is a place where the nine streams gather, and it is also the best place for me to observe the people's feelings and go deep into the people. ”

After speaking, Emperor Deqing had already walked towards the teahouse first. Zhao Junchen seemed to be very helpless, but he could only hurry up.

With the help of the guards of the forbidden army, although the crowd in the teahouse was dense, Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen still came to the center of the teahouse very smoothly. When I looked up, there was a storyteller standing on the stage telling a story, and the tea guests in the teahouse were all listening attentively. Perhaps it's because the storyteller tells such a wonderful story that not only is the teahouse full of tea customers. There are also many tea customers standing in the aisles.

It's just that there is no advance arrangement from Lu Yuanan here. In addition, there were so many tea customers in the teahouse that after Emperor Deqing came to the teahouse, he couldn't even find an empty seat, so he could only stand for a while.

And Zhao Junchen naturally would not let Emperor Deqing be wronged, and immediately discussed with those tea guests who had seats, and finally bought two seats with one or two silver, and sat down with Emperor Deqing.

After sitting down, Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen, like all the tea guests, began to listen carefully to the storyteller in the teahouse.

However, to Emperor Deqing's surprise, the story told by this storyteller was actually about the story of the crown prince Zhu Heyu who tried and handled the "Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case" some time ago!

At this time, the storyteller's expression was excited, and he said loudly: "But it is said that our current crown prince His Royal Highness is really wise and martial, and it only took three days to interrogate the corrupt officials in Xuzhou, and then he ignored his physical and mental exhaustion, without the slightest stop, and hurried to the next stop Huaiyin, Huaiyin's magistrate, named Li Xin, is also a big corrupt official, but this corrupt official is more cunning and good at disguise, and his official reputation among the people on weekdays is actually very good, and he is even regarded by many people as the lord of the blue sky. But how could he escape the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Huaiyin, in order to please His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Xin called a courteous and saddled horse, and constantly approached His Royal Highness the Prince, showing his loyalty, and even took the initiative to submit a lot of criminal evidence to His Royal Highness the Prince! However, all of these incriminating evidence are about other officials in Huaiyin, but none of them are about himself! Obviously, Li Xin wanted to gain the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he betrayed his comrades and took the opportunity to get rid of himself!

It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very strange at the time, thinking that there are so many corrupt officials in your Huaiyin, why are you Li Xin the only one who is innocent? So he sent someone to secretly investigate, and as a result of this visit, he found that Li Xin was really not a good thing, and his family property amounted to more than 70,000 taels of silver! Ladies and gentlemen, you think, if an official can have so much family property, then what is he not a corrupt official? Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interrogated other corrupt officials in Huaiyin, and as a result, these corrupt officials all identified Li Xin as their mastermind behind the scenes!

In this way, the truth was revealed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately sent someone to arrest Li Xin and interrogate him in public. Immediately ordered a person to be tortured, and under the combination of sticks, Li Xin finally gave up his luck and admitted his crime, and this hypocrite hidden in the court was finally revealed by His Royal Highness the Prince......"

As the storyteller finished telling the trial of the prince Zhu and Yu in Huaiyin, the final result was naturally that the corrupt officials were swept away, and the tea customers in the teahouse also applauded and discussed.

Originally, Emperor Deqing listened with interest, although the storyteller was talking about the political affairs of the dynasty, which was a little unruly, but since it was for the prince to make a name, Emperor Deqing did not feel any disgust, but saw that the people responded enthusiastically, and he was a little happy in his heart, after all, the prince Zhu and Yu are his heirs to the throne, and now with such prestige, the future of the Ming Dynasty can also be more stable.

However, the next discussion of the surrounding tea guests made Emperor Deqing's face change, and then his expression became gloomy!
