Chapter 453: The Emperor's Road (24)

Sanyang Palace.

Wu Chu came to this palace for the first time, away from the palace Yu Xuanang, the corridor road is tortuous, and the delicate and exquisite road of the pavilion and water pavilion is comparable to Shangyang Palace. To build such a luxurious palace in such a poor and remote place, perhaps only the emperor of this era could have imagined.

Of course, Wu Shui attributed the culprit to Liang Wang Wu Sansi. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Sansi has built a lot of new palaces for the empress, among which the Sanyang Palace is the most expensive, about 28 million, which is enough for the Great Zhou Dynasty to pay taxes for a year.

As for the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu, it cost more than 100 million, if it weren't for Wu Chuan secretly reselling some copper and iron, otherwise Wu Sansi would not have been able to cast it, and if it wasn't for Wu Chuan wantonly casting a batch of iron farm tools, I am afraid that because Wu Sansi collected the people's farm tools, there would be a catastrophe in the world.

Wu Chu has an account book in his heart for these crimes, and when the time is ripe, he will settle them one by one. Otherwise, how can he exert himself and lead the empire to prosperity and strength, using himself as an example?

After arranging for the sergeant to stay, Wu Chu went to the main hall of the palace to say goodbye. It was still early in the morning, and it was not yet time for dinner, so the empress was chatting with her mother, Wu.

Seeing that Wu Chu was wearing armor, the empress smiled and said, "Look, the prince of our family is back." ”

Wu just smiled slightly: "It's all you, second sister, how can you hand over such a big country to him?" ”

The empress said: "Sister, don't underestimate this child, entrust it to our child, and my sister is also relieved." ”

At this time, Wu Chu received the order, stepped into the main hall, and then kowtowed to the empress from a distance. Then he kowtowed to the Wu clan to say goodbye.

"Mother, mother, the child has arranged for the night. What else do you need the child to do, please ask the mother to command. Wu Chu still knelt down and said.

The Empress smiled, "Get up." Since you've arrived here today, now that you've made the arrangements, let's rest early and have a good time tomorrow. ”

Wu Chu got up and bowed to leave.

When he got out of the main hall, Wu Ji thought that he still had to make it clear to Princess Taiping after all. Otherwise, the wayward woman didn't know what unexpected actions she would make. Immediately walked towards the inner palace, because the arrangement of food and accommodation for the empress and the palace people was arranged by Shangguan Wan'er, and only she knew that Princess Taiping lived in that palace.

Not much. Wu Chu came to the inner chamber, the inner chamber was busy, the palace people were packing up their things, and Shangguan Wan'er was looking at a list. When Wu Chu came to Shangguan Wan'er. said: "Shangguan is waiting for the system." This king has something to do with you! ”

Shangguan Wan'er was startled, and when she looked up, she saw that it was her own man, and she thought about it again...... Thinking of this, she said angrily: "Your Highness, the slave is very busy! ”

Wu Shu asked: "Shangguan is waiting for the system, this king just wants to ask which palace Princess Taiping is staying in?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er scolded in her heart, it turns out that you are looking for Taiping, you go to find it. It's just that the palace people have already aimed at her with strange eyes. She immediately flipped through the booklet on the side and said, "Get out of here." Turn left, then until the end, there is the Qingluan Palace, where Her Royal Highness the Princess is. ”

Wu Chu didn't dare to make any excessive moves, and slightly stretched out a finger to Shangguan Wan'er, and then walked out of the inner palace, and after turning left, he went all the way to the end. But when he reached the end, there was no Qingluan Palace, and here was a thatched latrine. Wu Chu was suddenly furious, you are a Shangguan Wan'er, you dare to coax this king, see if this king doesn't clean you up!

At this time, a eunuch happened to come out of the latrine, looked up and saw that it was the prince, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, knelt on the ground, Wu Chu was speechless for a while, was he so terrifying? Then he asked, "This king asks you, where is this Qingluan Palace?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, there are only two palaces until you go all the way here, one is the Qingluan Palace, and the other is the Caifeng Palace. ”

Wu Chu was furious in his heart, this Shangguan Wan'er actually let him go in the opposite direction, it seems that he can't clean you up well, you don't know how powerful this king is.

So, he said, "You don't have to bow down in the future, understand?" ”

"Slave, slave and maid don't dare." The eunuch replied.

Wu Chu knew that these eunuchs were very popular in the palace because of the empress, and it was not easy to correct it for a while, so wait for later. Immediately, he said, "You get up, like this, what kind of system!" ”

With that, he turned around and went back the way he came, and went straight away.

When passing by the inner palace, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wu Chu with a smile at the entrance of the hall, and Wu Chu raised two fingers and moved. Shangguan Wan'er's face suddenly turned red, lowered her head, turned around and entered the inner palace, and Wu Chu walked towards the Qingluan Hall triumphantly.

Qingluan Palace.

Princess Taiping is very conflicted at the moment, since she rejected Wu Chu for the first time that night, she regretted it at the time, but she has always been strong, but she has always been unwilling to bow to Wu Chu, but this does not mean that she is still angry, but the hurdle in her heart can't be passed. After more than ten years of husband and wife, she has never understood or guessed her man, he is like a mystery, confusing her, tempting her, sometimes making her feel happy, sometimes making her feel depressed, and even sometimes she really wants to leave. But the happiness and comfort of being with him made her give up again and again.

The eldest son, Chongyuan, has mediocre qualifications, although he is named the king of the county, but according to Wu Chu's treatment of other heirs in the palace, the status of the prince in the future is worrying, and he is not the eldest son. Although the second son Chongrun is smart and studious, she likes arithmetic, which makes her very helpless, as for her daughter Yuan'er, she is a girl after all. As for the younger young girl, she is still in swaddling clothes and does not know when she will grow up.

As for herself, if the mother emperor is here, then Wu Chu ascends the throne, she will naturally be the queen, so maybe she can still fight for the status of the crown prince for her heirs. If the mother queen is gone, then her queen position is difficult to say. She knows very well that Concubine Jiang, Concubine E, and those concubines in the house are all very favored, and it is not impossible to become the queen in the future.

So in such a situation, she is still angry with Wu Tsu, so this knot cannot be untied, and it will be very dangerous.

Princess Taiping was pondering alone, and the maidservant said, "Princess, the prince is here." ”

That's how it's called. Only Wu Zhou is so special, the princess and the prince have become a couple, fortunately, they are just cousins. It is very normal for people in this day and age to get married as cousins.

Princess Taiping snorted lightly and said, "Where is the prince coming?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's the prince who is here." The handmaid repeated again.

Princess Taiping immediately got up, walked to the dresser, looked at the bronze mirror, and slightly covered her hair. was about to turn around, but heard the voice of Wu Chu behind him.

"Taiping, don't take it. When I shine again, the bronze mirror is shy. As he spoke, Wu Chu hugged Taiping from behind, a face close to her ear.

Princess Taiping instinctively refused. But I thought I shouldn't be like that anymore. So let Wu Chu hug him. The palace maid bowed out of the hall with a red face, the prince and the princess must have to do that shameful thing, these maidservants only have the role of serving, without the permission of the master, but it is inconvenient to watch.

When the maidservants all went out, Princess Taiping's heart calmed down, and she whispered, "Ah Lang, let go first." The concubine has something to say. ”

Wu Zheng immediately let go of his hand, in fact, he also had something to say. At this moment, Taiping had something to say, so he had to listen to it first.

So the two sat down on the side of the bed first, and Princess Taiping said slowly: "Ah Lang, it's all the concubines who are wrong, the concubines shouldn't reject you, you just forgive the concubines." ”

This, this made Wu Chu a little surprised, Princess Taiping, who never refused to bow her head and never refused to give in, would bow her head in front of him like this. He who was going to soften suddenly felt excited, he immediately hugged Princess Taiping and said softly: "Actually, I have forgiven you a long time ago, as the saying goes, a husband and wife for a day are a hundred days, you and I have been husband and wife for nearly 20 years, this relationship can only become stronger and stronger." ”

Princess Taiping's face was happy, and she was close to Wu Chu's arms, and suddenly there was a little bird like a human, which was that Taiping was coquettish.

Immediately, Wu Zheng's big hand slapped on Princess Taiping's fat buttocks. With a snap, Taiping whispered softly, and the sound suddenly made Wu Chu's bones crisp in half, and his hand also stretched into it along the exposed neckline, and immediately grasped the plump bulge......

Weizhou.

After Wu Youyi's defeat in Pingzhou, he finally understood that he was not the material to lead his troops to fight, so that the city of Pingzhou, which was garrisoned by 200,000 troops, was broken overnight, and even 200,000 troops were now left with less than 20,000 remnants of the defeated army.

Originally, after retreating to Weizhou, he wanted to return to Luoyang, but he was afraid that the empress would blame him, so he asked Di Renjie for food in Weizhou and settled down temporarily. I don't want more than a month to pass, the court has not issued an order, even my aunt has not issued an order to scold him, or to dismiss him or something. Ignoring it so much made him a little restless. The letter he wrote to Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi sank into the sea, and there was still no reply to the note he handed over.

In this way, Wu Youyi was like a child who had no one to take care of, and he felt panicked, how he wished that someone would come and ask him why he had lost his army, or simply dismiss him and make him the king of the idle county.

However, this qiē became a luxury hope, because the case against his loss of 200,000 troops was already in the hands of Cheng Ji Ji in the imperial history. Of course, according to the empress's intentions, he didn't care, but Wu Zheng wouldn't, so he secretly instructed Ji Ji to liquidate it in the future. Because Wu Youyi has always stood on the side of Wu Wang Wu Chengsi and Liang Wang Wu Sansi, this point makes Wu Chu very dissatisfied, since he is so unrighteous, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Assassin's House.

Di Renjie was looking at the grain book with a sad face, the grain stock had been exhausted, and even the seeds that were left behind had been almost eaten. If the imperial court doesn't send grain and grass again, then he can only commit suicide to thank the world. After all, if there is a famine among the people of a state, even if the court does not pursue it, he, a good official with outstanding official style, will be drowned by the people spitting on the stars.

"Assassin Shi, the imperial court has sent someone!" Changshi Gu Tong happily stepped into the lobby.

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Gu Tong said excitedly: "The imperial court sent Xue Ne, the general of the right Yu Lin Wei, to escort 50,000 stone grain and grass has already come along the canal, and the letter said that it will arrive tonight, and asked me to get ready." ”

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, but then asked, "What about the letter?" ”

Gu Tong immediately took out the letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Di Renjie, Di Renjie immediately took it, and after opening it, he looked at it at a glance. After a moment, Di Renjie smiled and said, "Weizhou is saved." ”

Immediately, he said: "Order the miscellaneous servants to clean the granary by the canal and prepare to meet General Xue." (To be continued......)
