Chapter 123: Involvement
"Xiao'er!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" The palace maid who came to the Yi Palace for the night heard the sound and hurriedly ran into the Dingxiang Palace.
"My Xiao'er......" Ming Emperor Zhu Yutang sat up from his dream in shock, "My Xiao'er fell into the water!" Quick, go and save her! ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you're having a nightmare. Would it be good for the slave to pour you a cup of tea? The palace maid picked up a cup of black rock blue needles on the table and handed it over.
With a "bang", even the tea belt cup was pushed to the ground by the Ming Emperor and smashed into several petals.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Why don't you go and save someone? Emperor Ming's face was furious.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang has been out of the palace for three days, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang is sending someone to search carefully, and I hope Your Majesty will wait a little longer, there will be news soon."
Zhu Yutang seemed to be a little sober, and looked around blankly.
It is still this immutable Dingxiang Palace, and it is still this lingering golden incense.
"It's been three days...... There is no news of the child yet. I...... Where I'm going to find her? Zhu Yutang and his entourage burst into tears, and he faintly felt pain in his jaw, only to realize that he had accidentally scratched a shallow mark on his cheek when he was in a dream.
"No, I'm going to look for her, I'm going to find her now." Zhu Yutang said that he was about to get out of bed.
The palace maid persuaded stubbornly: "Your Majesty, it is already midnight, and it is even more exposed, where is Your Majesty going to find Your Highness?" Even if Your Majesty wants to look for it, he will wait until tomorrow dawn. ”
Zhu Yutang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is Princess Qingyu?" Call her over, I'll tell her personally! ”
"Your Royal Highness has been moving repeatedly recently, and now you have rested at Fuxingtai, what is Your Majesty's will, the slave will pass it on tomorrow."
"You go and tell her tomorrow morning, no matter how much manpower she spends, within three days, I must find her sister!" Zhu Yutang's voice was full of expression, and after speaking, he suddenly changed his words: "No, you go now, I want you to go now!" Go ahead! ”
"Yes......" It was rare for the palace maid to see Zhu Yutang so impatient, she didn't care about cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and quickly turned around and walked out of the hall.
After a while, on the moon tower behind the Fuxing Platform, Zhu Zhiling was awakened from her sleep by the palace maid sent from the Yi Palace.
She listened to the palace maid's words without saying a word, frowned and said, "Got it, go down." Then he put on his clothes and sat up.
Zhao Wuyun rubbed his eyes and complained, "You mother, you are really willful. If you don't sleep well and don't let people sleep, doesn't she think about your child? ”
Zhu Zhiling sneered, if she can always think of others, is she still my mother?
"So what are you going to do now? Now Liu Mingyan is staring at Nanhua Island like a black-eyed chicken, walking around the south coast every day, and the Qingzhou prefect said that he had to secretly change to transport gold ingots from the north coast, but he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it for long. If you send someone to the island to find Xiaomei again, the movement will be even bigger. ”
"Hide? Do you think you can hide it from Liu Mingyan? She already knew. You're still dreaming in the dark. ”
Zhao Wuyun sat up when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "She...... She already knows? ”
Zhu Zhiling pointed to the table in the distance and said, "There is an envelope there, which was sent by Liu Mingyan today, you can see what is inside." ”
Zhao Wuyin walked to the table as he said, picked up the envelope and poured it on the table, only to hear a loud bang, and a heavy gold ingot smashed on the table. Zhao Wuyun picked up the gold ingot and looked at it carefully under the lamp, and suddenly exclaimed: "...... Isn't this the newly minted gold ingot that my household has recently minted on Nanhua Island? Judging by the quality, it should be the batch we smuggled out of the island! How did she get it? ”
"Think about it, the gold ingots on your ship, she can get them unnoticed, and she didn't even notice your household, and sent someone to send them to me quietly. What does it mean? ”
Zhao Wuyun shook his head.
"She didn't make a big noise, she wanted to tell me that she could either know about the smuggling of gold ingots or pretend not to know."
"It's really a wolf and a tiger." Zhao Wuyin cursed secretly, "Then what good can you do?" ”
Zhu Zhiling pondered for a while and took a sword from the wall. In the past, in my spare time, I would take a sword and dance a few times to practice my muscles and bones. She hadn't moved for a long time since she became pregnant.
Zhao Wuyin saw her walking to the table with a sword with a blue face, and felt a little stunned in the middle of the night.
“…… What are you doing? ”
I saw Zhu Zhiling raise and fall with his sword, and the gold ingot was neatly cut in half. Zhu Zhiling put down his sword, picked up half of the gold ingot, stuffed it back into the envelope, and handed it to Zhao Wuyun.
"Tomorrow morning, you will send this envelope to the prefect of Cheongju and ask him to hand over the envelope to Liu Mingyan with his own hands. I told her that the sea has been stormy recently, and ordinary cargo ships may miss the delivery of goods, so the household department wants to borrow her Kuntou ship to use it, and hoard the goods on her ship first, and then make plans after the wind and waves are calm. The daily consumption of the Kuntou ship is huge, and the envelope is the military funds paid to her by the household department, so she naturally understands. ”
"You're ......"
Zhu Zhiling smiled slightly: "Since she wants to join the gang, then I will let her in." In fact, no matter what ship your household uses, sooner or later she will find out about the smuggling of gold ingots, it is better to change to a more secure ship to load the gold ingots, and is there anything more secure than the Kuntou ship in this world? ”
"And what is your half of the gold ingot?"
"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. The military resources of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion have always been not abundant, and Liu Zhan was stuck to death by Lu Wenchi before, but now I promise to open the Five-Year Plan, and the Governor's Mansion will have a bright future, and she will never refuse to agree. I hoarded all the gold ingots on her ship, and she could know how much gold there was, and I was telling her that I would not bully her, so that she could do things at ease. Of course, if she has a different heart, this whole shipload of gold will be evidence of embezzlement of the treasury, and I can check it at any time, and when the time comes, our hands will be clean and we can get rid of it. ”
The corners of Zhu Zhiling's mouth smiled proudly.
Zhao Wuyin was still a little uneasy, and hesitated: "You have such intentions, Liu Mingyan won't guess it?" ”
"She naturally guessed that Liu Mingyan was not as stupid as you thought."
"And how dare she promise you to hide the gold on her ship?"
"If she doesn't even have the guts, she wouldn't be qualified to make this deal with me. If you want to make money, you don't want to take some risks, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world. After speaking, Zhu Zhiling calmly returned to the couch and slowly lay down, closed her eyes and added casually:
"By the way, don't forget to tell her, let her go to the island to search in person, and be sure to find the little sister within three days, this is a holy decree, don't delay."
* * * * * *
In the imperial capital of Wanhua, the prince's wedding has just passed, and the city is still full of joy. This is not only because of the wedding ceremony, but also because Emperor Wen issued an amnesty to the world in the name of the big wedding, and exempted the people from paying taxes for two years. It must be known that the amnesty of the world is a grace that the new emperor will have when he ascends the throne, and the people of the imperial capital are already rich, so they were exempted from paying taxes for two years at once, and they have a lot more money on hand. The people are grateful to Dade, and they spontaneously put up lanterns to decorate the lush imperial capital with a new look, even at night, there are thousands of lanterns, overlooking it, like a galaxy.
Three days after the wedding ceremony, Emperor Wen came to the beacon tower next to Panyun Gate and took the crown prince Li Chongyan and the crown princess Zhu Zhijie to accept the congratulations of all the people. The ministers of the court also followed him one after another, climbed the largest beacon tower in the imperial capital, and watched this picture of the prosperity of the whole country together.
Li Chongyan is naturally the most proud.
He pressed one hand on the head of the city wall, and held Zhu Zhijie's hand with the other. With such beauties in the country, the happiness of life has reached the extreme. I, Li Chongyan, am the dignified prince and the future emperor. In a few years, I will be able to sit on forty-one counties in eight states, and the world is just something in my sleeve!
The cheers of the people under the beacon tower came and went, and Li Chongyan was very helpful when he heard it, and turned to his wife beside him and said, "Are you still satisfied with all this?" ”
Zhu Zhijie smiled slightly: "It's good to have you." ”
Whether it is the country or the throne, it is all something you dream of. I'm just a woman who wants nothing, and it's enough to be with you for a long time.
Li Chongyan didn't have much joy when he saw her, and said that she felt that Emperor Wanhua was not as wide as the Taiye Kingdom, and it didn't look like it was pompous, so he attached it to her ear and whispered:
"I listened to it yesterday, and Gonggong Li, who was next to my father, said that my father felt that my Yunyang Palace was still not satisfactory even after the overhaul, and planned to repair it from Yunyang Palace to the Zhaohua Palace where you lived before."
Zhu Zhijie was shocked, and asked unconsciously: "Aren't there still several palaces between Zhaohua Palace and Yunyang Palace?" What about those palaces? ”
"There are a few that have been abandoned for a long time, and they are demolished and rebuilt. There is also a house where the concubines of the first emperor lived, and the father planned to move them to the back mountain, where it was also quiet and just in time to live for the rest of his life. ”
Zhu Zhijie was a little uneasy: "The concubines are elders, and they have to move to the back mountain for us, how can we bear it......
Li Chongyan pretended to be pitiful: "Then you and I are crowded in the small Yunyang Palace, how can you bear it......"
Every time Li Chongyan pretended to be pitiful, Zhu Zhijie couldn't help but want to accommodate him.
"It's all the kindness of my father. Gonggong Li said, the more my father looks at you, the more he likes you, and he is always afraid that he will treat you badly, so he wants to rebuild our residence, but I am stained with your light. ”
Zhu Zhijie was blushed by Li Chongyan's words, and sighed:
"Just don't break the bank."
Spending? My father never broke the bank for my business.
Li Chongyan didn't care about this sentence at all, and asked, "You say...... What should we call our future palace? ”
"Take it, and it will be good." Zhu Zhijie has always been supple.
"It's better to ...... It's called Qinglian Palace? The name of your palace in the blue sea is good for me to see. ”
"Not good!" As soon as Zhu Zhijie's words came out, she also felt that her tone was a little abrupt, so she hurriedly changed her smile and said: "I married you, and I am your person, why bother to take the name of my mother's house again." ”
Li Chongyan was stunned for a moment, and named it Qinglian Palace, originally to win her mind, but she didn't like it at all, and said with a smile: "yes, then I'll go back and let the Internal Affairs Office plan a few good ones." ”
Zhu Zhijie turned to look into the distance, thoughtful.
Qinglian Palace, I just hope that I can't remember this place again in this life.
