Chapter 25: The Legend of the Moon Tower
"What? Worried about me? Although Lin Haoyan and Shi Yiqiu are not husband and wife in name, they both know each other quite well.
"Your Majesty has given Zhao Zhenshou so much power...... Not afraid? Shi Yiqiu asked in a low voice.
Shi Yiqiu's worries are actually the biggest concern of the ministers of the DPRK and China, unlike the young Lin Haoyan, they are all old fritters who have been working in the officialdom all their lives. Of course, they knew that their Majesty was at the most energetic age of his life, but His Majesty at this age was the most convinced of affection. It's just that there is a little bit of affection in the officialdom, which was the case in the previous dynasty and the same in Lanhe. It's not that everyone has no affection, but they have been let down a lot, and affection has slowly become a sacrifice annihilated on the Qingyun Road.
Their Majesty is willing to trust Zhao Fu and dare to delegate power to Zhao Fu, but it does not mean that they will be as naΓ―ve as their Majesty. Northwest Military Affairs, the Northwest Army is the strongest and largest legion in the Lanhe Empire, if Zhao Fu has a counterintention, then the turmoil will be the entire Lanhe Empire! Even if Zhao Fu has no objection now, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have it in the future, even if he does not have it in the future, these 100,000 soldiers will actually be unloaded?
In fact, even Zhao Fu didn't know that after he sat on the military power in the northwest, would he still be the same self before? In the conversation that night, he didn't even want to think about it, how could he say such a thing...... Zhao Fu supported the forehead.
Those ministers are worried, Shi Yiqiu is also worried, but Lin Haoyan is relaxed - only he is the least worried, since he chose to believe in Zhao Fu from the beginning, he will always choose to believe in Zhao Fu. That's right, that's a good story in the world, if it's wrong, it's nothing more than a king or a loser, and there's nothing to worry about.
"What's there to worry about?" Lin Haoyan would not pass on the conversation with Zhao Fujian, even if it was to Shi Yiqiu, he was reluctant to say it, after all, it was really embarrassing for an emperor to be afraid of his courtiers, if it weren't for the fact that he was easily hot-headed in the middle of the night, Zhao Fu and Lin Haoyan would not have been enthusiastic about saying so many things that they had and didn't have.
"If Zhao Zhenshou has bad intentions, then ......"
"I know what you're thinking, and I know what the ministers are thinking." Lin Haoyan sighed and touched Shi Yiqiu's hair, "I believe in Zhao Fu, and I can only trust Zhao Fu." β
"The person who worships the moon tower, is it Zhao Zhenshou?" Shi Yiqiu heard a faint helplessness from Lin Haoyan's words, and seemed to understand.
The matter of Baiyuelou was sent by Lin Hanyu to seal up the news that night, except for leaving all kinds of legends to the imperial capital, but no one knew the most appropriate news, but because of all kinds of rumors, most people just regarded it as a gimmick made by Baiyuelou for publicity.
"It's him." Lin Haoyan still had palpitations when he thought about it, although Zhao Fuming said that he would not have any more thoughts about his rule, but raising a tiger at home is not something that anyone can have such courage.
"But I believe in Zhao Fu's character!" Lin Haoyan remembered something, and smiled confidently, "I believe that Brother Zhao will not fail me." β
Shi Yiqiu looked up at Lin Haoyan's side face cutely, and found for the first time that this emperor had such a strong self-confidence, and found that Lin Haoyan had indeed changed a lot after seeing Zhao Fu.
"After Zhao Zhenshou pacifies Beihu, how is Your Majesty going to reward him?" Shi Yiqiu asked.
"Oh? Even you believe that Brother Zhao can pacify Beihu? Lin Haoyan joked that almost everyone in the court thought that Lin Haoyan's appointment of Zhao Fu was only to cultivate his own cronies, and even the most daring new generation of officials probably would not have thought that their majesty and the youngest prince really wanted to completely sweep away the entire north.
"The concubine just believes in His Majesty." Shi Yiqiu has always been very good at talking.
Lin Haoyan did not give an answer immediately, because even he had not thought of this question. To be honest, even he didn't believe that the Hu people in the north could be swept away. In fact, he believed in Zhao Fu, so he gave whatever Zhao Fu wanted, just because he believed in the young Yingjie who jumped off the moon tower and was unscathed.
Lin Haoyan realized that he was actually no different from those old ministers who he thought were rotten, had he really thought about how to deal with Beihu who was incorporated into the Lanhe Empire? I haven't thought about it at all, I'm afraid I'm more thinking about encircling Zhao Fu, right? Lin Haoyan asked himself, if Zhao Fu hadn't beaten Beihu down, would he have dealt with Zhao Fu?
Does it decay as it grows? Lin Haoyan laughed at himself, in the past, he had always longed for him to grow into a monarch like his father and even his grandfather one day.
Fortunately, I am still young! Lin Haoyan suddenly woke up.
"If Brother Zhao really fights Beihu for me and the Lanhe Empire, then Zhao Fu and I will become brothers and share the world!" Lin Haoyan's tone became cold in the next second, "But if he doesn't do it, then I will take back his fiefdom and everything that was given to him from me!" β
Shi Yiqiu turned sideways again to look at Lin Haoyan clearly, but found that her top had been taken off by Lin Haoyan......
"Your Majesty, have you grown up......?"
Lin Haoyan was still secretly having fun with Shi Yiqiu in the imperial study, but on the other side, Zhao Fu fulfilled his promise to himself and took Qin Zhirou to visit the Lanshui River again.
In fact, he was forced to be helpless, and Zhao Fu came to Beijing to live in Qinfu. And since Lin Haoyan tried his best to disagree with the public and directly promoted him to the general of the Northwest, the Qin Mansion was like a city, but all officials with some political acumen came to pay a visit.
Qin Shangxi was too happy, because of Zhao Fu, he also became a figure in the middle and upper circles of officialdom - Zhao Fu was too lazy to participate in these activities and negotiations, and there were no elders in the family, so he pushed it to Qin Shangxi. Qin Shangxi was proud of the decision he made more than once to make the "beauty plan". Zhao Fu has always treated Qin Zhirou very well, in the eyes of many elders, this is a pair made in heaven for the golden boy and jade girl, and Qin Shangxi has always believed that Qin Zhirou must be the best choice for the princess.
The banks of the Lanshui River are still the same, but there is no such crowd as on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and Zhao Fu and Qin Zhirou also ate from the street to the end of the street.
The Moon Worship Tower is even more lively than before - after the Shangyuan Festival, various versions of the rumors about the Moon Worship Heroes have spread in the imperial capital and even the entire Lanhe Empire. There is the most vulgar version that says that the moon worshipper hero was eating and drinking with others, and he had to jump off the building after making a poisonous oath in a broken word; There is the simplest version that says that the moon worship building is in disrepair, the railing is rotten, and the moon-watching visitors accidentally fall from the building; There is a version of the ghost theory that says that the moon worships the ancient demon downstairs......
And the most believable version is the most romantic rumor: on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, a fairy strayed into the mortal world and became acquainted with a young man, and the two talked happily, but when the time came, the fairy had to return to the fairy world. The infatuated young man was very reluctant, and chased up to the seventh floor of the highest moon worship tower, but still couldn't catch up, so he had to jump out of the seventh floor, although he didn't catch up, but he moved the fairy, and the fairy stayed in the world despite the orders of the fairy world......
Baiyue Tower's marketing strategy also made Zhao Fu look sideways, they didn't completely repair the traces of the fight on the seventh floor, as if they were deliberately modified to cater to a certain legend. After all, no matter which legend it is, it is certain that the boy fell from the seventh floor without injuring his muscles and bones, which is already a rumor that many people have seen with their own eyes.
Zhao Fu couldn't resist Qin Zhirou, so he had to take her up to the seventh floor of the Moon Worship Tower, and found a seat to sit down. Since it's not a meal, and it's the seventh layer, there aren't many people.
The waiter also knows that most of the guests at this point are not for the delicious food, but more for the beautiful scenery, and serve tea and snacks to the side.
"Brother Zhao Fu?" Qin Zhirou shook her hand vigorously in front of Zhao Fu's eyes, allowing Zhao Fu, who was a little trance, to come back.
"Is that legend of the Moon Worship Tower true?" Qin Zhirou asked with interest, in her eyes, Zhao Fu knew everything.
"Of course it's fake." Zhao Fu smiled, he didn't notice Qin Zhirou's longing expression just after coming back to his senses, and touched her head, "Legends are all fake, otherwise how can they be called legends?" β
"Oh......" Qin Zhirou was a little disappointed, her age was the age of longing for heroes, but Brother Zhao Fu, who was closest to her and knew everything, denied her longing in one bite.
But soon, Qin Zhirou's eyes flashed, "That!" Is there anyone who can jump from here like the legend says without anything at all? β
Zhao Fu didn't know why Qin Zhirou was so concerned about her "brilliant deeds" today, but if she looked at her appearance, she told her that she was the person, I am afraid that I would have to jump to the seventh floor again today...... Zhao Fu vetoed again and again, "Impossible, how can there be such a person." β
"Brother Zhao Fu can't do it too?" Qin Zhirou couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she saw that her idea was rejected again, and her voice whimpered.
Zhao Fu finally knew what a terrible thing it was to lie, as if he had dug a hole for himself. He could only comfort Qin Zhirou, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhao Fu can't do it either." β
I thought in my heart that I would have been injured if I fell, but if I hadn't ...... Xu Lingling's words are not nothing, right?
"Well, that's fine! If Brother Zhao Fu can't do it either. Qin Zhirou's mood eased, in her heart, if Zhao Fu couldn't do it, then others would definitely not be able to do it.
Zhao Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally ended the topic......
"That? Why did that man jump? Qin Zhirou's question almost didn't make Zhao Fu squirt a mouthful of blood.
There is no way, Zhao Fu can only continue to flicker, "I guess, it's to save a person who accidentally fell." β
"Oh-" Qin Zhirou let out a long sigh, very happy to hear the answer from Zhao Fu.
"This person probably doesn't know if he will die if he falls, but he has no choice but to jump off to save people."
