Chapter 178: The Great Ming Immortal Dynasty

Previous Chapter

"Let's go to Zhixingfang first to determine if the poppies that Shen Wan planted in the mansion are the poppies."

Lin Hao waved his hand, since His Majesty thanked the guests, he would definitely not be able to see him for a while.

"Zhao Banban, you go and mobilize all the horses in the East Factory, and encircle the Zhixing Fang to the palace, and don't let any of them out."

Zhu Gaoxu bowed slightly.

"Don't startle the snake."

Lin Hao said loudly.

"According to what Brother Lin said, this thing poisons the people, since he has already mastered the culprit behind it, why should it be so?"

Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled.

"The poppy has not yet reached the flowering season, that is, the batch of longevity paste that exists in the world is not planted now, and no one knows how much longevity paste is still in Shen Wan's hands, and who those longevity pastes flow into."

"According to what Yin Shan said, Shen Wan is in the grain business, and most of them are just brokers who hold two families in one hand, and the Westerner who injured Wang Ben may be the person behind the scenes."

"If you want to get rid of this cancer, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, first find out all the channels of the thieves in Yingtianfu, and then wipe them out."

Lin Hao told me that if it was just to eradicate Shen Wan, it wouldn't be long before there would be cats and dogs like Shen Qian, Shen Bai or something.

"Lord Lin, someone brought the treasure banknote you marked to the Inner City Huibaotong branch to cash out."

The walkie-talkie on Lin Hao's waist made a sizzling electric sound.

"Stabilize the people first, and Zhao Gonggong will go to the inner city Huibaotong branch."

Lin Hao commanded.

……

Huibaotong semicolon.

"How long will it take to get the money out?"

The shopkeeper was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing constantly.

"According to the rules of Huibaotong, if you redeem more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets, you have to make an appointment one day in advance, and your 100,000 taels of silver tickets must be reserved at least half a month in advance."

Huibaotong guy explained to the shopkeeper of Fenghualou.

"Then can you pay me a thousand taels of silver first, and split the rest into a thousand taels of silver bills."

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked, but at the moment, he couldn't afford to delay for a moment, and the silver ticket of 100,000 taels was too ostentatious, so he could only make this decision.

"It doesn't work according to the rules, but if you're willing to accept a 10% fee, it's also convenient."

The man said quietly.

"Ten percent is ten percent, and the trouble is a little quicker."

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, anyway, they were all picked up for nothing, and there was no difference between 100,000 taels and 90,000 taels.

"Half an hour."

The guy signed a slip and handed it to the bookkeeper.

……

"Shopkeeper Wang, meet again so soon!"

Lin Hao paced into Huibaotong.

The man then closed the door of the shop and hung up a sign that was not welcoming customers for the time being.

Lin ...... Lord Lin ......"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of the shopkeeper of Fenghualou, and he looked at Lin Hao in disbelief.

"How did you know that the official's surname was Lin?"

Lin Hao was also quite surprised, the previous disguise in the Wind Flower Building could be described as seamless.

"The little one saw that you didn't take the longevity ointment, so I followed you to the Daming Palace, which was said by General Jin Wuwei."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and gave it all out.

"Let's talk about it, what does this longevity paste have to do with Shen Wan?"

Lin Hao sat next to the shopkeeper Wang, cocked Erlang's legs, and squinted slightly.

"How did you know about Shen Wan, at the beginning, the longevity cream of Fenghualou was given by Shen Wan, and then Shen Wan introduced a Westerner to the owner, and all the supplies behind were handled by that Westerner."

"The little one knows that if this thing is sucked up, it will be a dead end, and he is not willing to help the abuse, but the owner set up a trap to let the small one get contaminated with this thing, and if you want to get the goods, you must work for it."

The shopkeeper knelt down towards Lin Hao, even Shen Wan knew that it was estimated that the imperial court had already set his eyes on this matter, and if there was any concealment, no one would be able to save him.

"The owner you are talking about is the East Palace?"

Zhu Gaoxu pulled out the Longquan sword, put it on the neck of the shopkeeper Wang, and asked.

"Although Fenghualou is the property of the East Palace, the East Palace will not come here at all, and everything is handed over to an adult surnamed Yao, who once wore a flying fish suit, and most of them are from the Jinyi Guard."

"This longevity paste business is led by another adult, I only know that the person's surname is Zhang, and it seems that he is still a big official, and even Lord Yao doesn't dare to be disrespectful in front of him."

The sweat of the king's shopkeeper rolled down his forehead and poured out like beans.

"The Lord Yao in his mouth must be that Yao Ji, Yao Ji is now relying on the support of the East Palace, there is no one in his eyes, he doesn't dare to exceed the rules, the big man surnamed Zhang in the court, could it be Zhang Fu of Shangzhu State?"

Zhu Gaoxu said thoughtfully.

The one who can make Yao Ji rein in is probably the Lord Zhuguo.

"But the painting of this adult?"

Lin Hao took out the photo of Zhang Fu of Zhuguo and asked.

"That adult is a lot younger, it is estimated that he is not confused, he has a mustache, and he speaks with a bit of Tongzhou accent."

The shopkeeper Wang's heart was extremely shocked, and the portrait that Lord Lin took out was lifelike, and his demeanor and emotions were depicted to the extreme.

"Selling longevity cream is a capital crime, give you two choices, either to make meritorious contributions to the court, or let the criminal department be punished."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and scolded.

"The grass people are willing to serve His Highness!"

The unspeakable pain in the heart of the shopkeeper Wang, which are the two choices, is clearly to put the knife on his neck.

"Figure it out, in addition to Fenghualou, in this Ying Tianfu, what other channels are selling longevity cream, don't think about escaping, the entire Ying Tianfu is under the surveillance of Jinyi Guard, go."

Lin Hao waved his hand.

As if he had been granted amnesty, the shopkeeper climbed out of Huibaotong.

"Lord Lin, Second Highness, Shen Wan has already left it, he is a broker who holds the two families in one hand, and the so-called strange flower of the Western Regions is the poppy, which began to be planted in Yingtianfu three years ago."

"It has been sold in Yingtianfu since last month, and Zhang Han, a member of the ministry, is his backer in the imperial court."

Zhao Heng came on a fast horse.

"Where's Zhang Han!?"

Zhu Gaoxu said loudly.

The previous arrests in the Zhixingfang Mansion were not the cronies arranged by Lu Eighteen under the gesture of this Zhang Han.

"I just came out of Fenghua Building, and I'm back at home."

Zhao Heng said without thinking, when Shen Wan recruited Zhang Han, the Tobacco Division began to follow him.

"All the way to surround Zhang's mansion first, and in addition, gather the soldiers of the Fengzi battalion to count all the poppy-growing houses in the entire Zhixingfang!"

"Let's go and meet Zhang Han, a member of this ministry!"

Lin Hao turned over and stepped onto the horse.

"During this period of time, the sales of longevity paste in Yingtianfu are good, this is a reward for you."

The Westerner opened the wooden box under his feet, and the wooden box was full of gold ingots, which were 10,000 taels in size.

"Thank you, Lord for your support."

A look of greed flashed in Zhang Han's eyes.

"You find a way to dedicate this thing to Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty is contaminated with this thing, it won't be long before the entire Ming Dynasty will be under the control of us, and at that time, with your merits, even if you are a marquis, it will not be an exaggeration."

The Westerner looked at Zhang Han and knew his ambitions.

"Lord Zhang Han, your wishful thinking is good, and you dare to be a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you dare to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister."

Zhu Gaoxu kicked open the door and looked at Zhang Han with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Second Highness......

Zhang Han's eyes were full of fear, how could he leak the news with a seamless plan.

"Damn it!"

The Westerner pulled out the firearm on his waist, quickly filled the gunpowder, and aimed it at Zhu Gaoxu.

Before the fire rope could be lit, a flash of fire quickly swept in, and the entire arm of the Westerner holding the fire gun turned into a blood mist in an instant.

Immediately after that, in the attic in the distance, there was a thunderous sound.

"How is that possible!?"

The Westerner fell straight down, looking at the empty sleeves in disbelief.

A group of Jinyi guards broke into Zhang's mansion and captured Zhang Han.

"Tell me, who is behind you?"

Lin Hao slowly walked up to the Westerner and asked in a deep voice.

"Delusional to get news from me."

The Westerner just wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, but the two brocade guards pressed the Westerner's mouth.

"It's not that easy to die."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know where to take out a hammer, and knocked out all the teeth of Westerners with one hammer.

"This official has time to play slowly with you, K2 is the latest torture agent in Taoyuan County, after the injection, your consciousness will be extremely clear, and your whole body will be like a knife cut, gradually destroying your will, it won't be long before death is a luxury for you."

Lin Hao pushed the medicine in the needle into the meridians of the Westerners.

"I recruit, everything is instructed by the princess of Ruyang, Shen Wan's grain business is the help of the Li family of Bozhou behind his back, the purpose of Princess Ruyang is to let His Majesty and the civil and military officials be contaminated with this opium!"

"In addition, the Li clan in Bozhou is training troops in secret, with 400,000 troops, if they can't rely on opium to take down the royal family, it won't be long before they can move north."

"I've said everything I know, kill me, give me a good time!"

The Westerner's whole face suddenly distorted, his forehead was bruised, and he gasped for breath, followed by a terrible scream.

……

"After chasing it, kill it directly!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes.

Even if she is the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, rebellion is a capital crime!

"Princess Ruyang will go out of the city in the afternoon, and she shouldn't have gone far at this time, so let's chase it!"

Zhao Si mounted his horse, led a group of brocade guards, and galloped away in the direction of the outside of the city.

……

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

"Princess Ruyang, colluding with the Li family in Bozhou, secretly stationed troops, intending to rebel, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, summoned 3,000 battalions, and set foot in Bozhou!"

"Anyone who is implicated with the Li family in Bozhou, there is no one left!"

Meng Yi, the general of Jin Wuwei, came on a fast horse.

Outside the city, the smoke suddenly rose, and 40,000 iron horsemen went straight to Bozhou.

The artillery of the Shenji Battalion had already been erected outside Bozhou City, and after several rounds of volleys, the gate of Bozhou City was broken.

The 3,000 battalions went straight into Bozhou, and there were countless screams in the city, and the flames soared into the sky.

The 400,000 troops, under the swords of the 3,000 battalions, were like devastation, without any resistance, and the defeat was like a mountain.

The head of the family, Li Ran, drew his sword in the mansion and killed himself, but in three days, the accumulation of the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Li family in Bozhou was destroyed.

Three months later.

Zhu Gaoxu led an army of 200,000 to conquer Mobei and seal the wolf.

The two Tatar Warats were all exterminated, and no Huns came to attack again.

Zhu Gaochi intended to take advantage of Zhu Gaochu to lead troops to conquer Mobei, and in response to the emptiness of Tianfu, he raised troops to rebel.

was thwarted by a shadow assassin falling from the sky, and the crown prince was abolished.

The princelings, Yao Guangxiao and others, were all demoted to commoners.

The New Year is approaching, Youzhou is broken, the remnants of Zhu Yunwen are all destroyed, and Zhu Yunwen is captured alive in the South China Sea.

Zhu Di issued an order to become the emperor, and Zhu Gaoxu inherited the emperor and became the emperor!

A new school was established, and the eight-share system was abolished.

The beginning of spring next year.

In response to the lanterns in Tianfu, Lin Hao was sealed as a pillar and married Princess Xianning, the county lord of Zhaohua, and Zhuxi, the daughter of Chengguo Gong.

The canal was opened, and the north and south were connected, and Zheng He led the White Lotus Sect to sail out to sea on a treasure ship to the Americas, thus opening the prosperous era of shipping in the Ming Dynasty.

All nations are coming!

Ten years later.

……

Taoyuan County, heaven and earth.

"What is the origin of the one on the third floor, this charter is a month?"

"It is said that he is in his fifties, and he can still sing every night, and his body is really tough."

"How much does this cost?"

"You keep quiet, that's the current Emperor, if you let people hear it, dare to talk about the Emperor, it will be a big crime to punish the Ten Clans!"

……

A group of men whispered.

……

The Imperial Study.

"Queen, I know that I am wrong, I will never go to heaven and earth in the future, I just washed my feet, and I really didn't do anything!"

Zhu Gaoxu, who was wearing a dragon robe, knelt on the ground, holding his ears with both hands.

"What is it called washing a foot, it can cost twenty taels of silver to wash a foot, your third brother told me, today I see if the old lady will not kill you!"

Chen Ruohan, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, whipped Zhu Gaoxu.

……

Yangquan Palace.

"Wronged, it was the second brother who took me there, madam, you know, this king has always been upright, and he never went to such fireworks places, and the second brother paid for twenty taels of silver."

Zhu Gaosui knelt on the durian, miserable.

"My sister has told me, you two brothers are not a good thing, continue to kneel, kneel until I am satisfied!"

Chen Ruoxi snorted coldly, holding the "Biography of Lin Hao of the Pillar Kingdom" in his hand and watching it with relish.

……

"Queen, we haven't been to Taoyuan for half a year, do you want to pay a private visit to Weifu on an unknown day and go to see Brother Lin?"

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"I almost forgot, in a few days it will be Lord Lin's birthday, why was my mother blind at the beginning, I fell in love with you such a waste, how good it would be if I married Lord Lin."

Hearing this, Chen Ruohan really put down the bamboo whip in his hand, and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu in a strange way.

"What are you talking about, have you been wronged by marrying me, since ancient times, which emperor is not the three palaces and four courts, and there are countless concubines in the harem, but I only have one queen, and I have never taken a concubine."

Zhu Gaoxu complained bitterly.

"What, you still want to take a concubine, this time I see that the old lady will not abolish you!"

……

Three days later, early in the morning.

Taoyuan County, eighty miles south of the city, in the mountains.

"Daddy, my mother called you for breakfast!"

Lin Hao knew how to play games the night before, and he slept on his back, which was called a hearty one.

A tiger-headed kid pushed open the door of the house and shook Lin Hao's arm vigorously.

"Stinky boy, if you dare to annoy your father to sleep, your ass will be beaten into eight petals!"

Lin Hao glared at Lin Hu, and just wanted to turn over and continue his dream, only to feel a sharp pain in his waist.

"Your Majesty is going to visit us in Luling today, why don't you get up and wash up quickly."

Ling'er, the county lord of Zhaohua, pinched Lin Hao's waist and glanced at Lin Hao angrily.

"Husband, hurry up, Ning'er stewed black chicken soup for you, and I have to send Huzi and them to the private school in a while!"

Princess Xianning, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes, also walked into the house.

Lin Hao reluctantly got up, and the three girls quickly brought cold water for him to wash, reduce the swelling, and change into clothes.

……

As soon as he walked out of the door, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and Zhu Di and Chen Ruohan, who were dressed in civilian clothes, stopped in front of the bamboo house.

"Brother Lin, I've come to see you!"

"I'm a big-headed ghost, what kind of emperor are you putting in front of Lord Lin."

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu spoke, Chen Ruohan was a brain.

"Hello Uncle Emperor!"

More than a dozen children chattered around.

"Little guys, my uncle has prepared a gift for you, Huibao Tongbao banknotes, 100,000 taels a piece, don't rob it, everyone has it, take it to buy some food when you study in the private school on weekdays."

Zhu Gaoxu was in pain, turned over and dismounted, hugged the youngest Xue'er, and then took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms.

"Okay, go play with your Aunt Ruohan, the emperor's uncle and your father still have important matters to discuss."

Zhu Gaoxu put Xue'er down and walked into the bamboo house with a smile.

"Brother Lin really enjoys the blessings of all people, unlike my family's Na Ruohan, who is simply a tigress......"

"Zhu Gaoxu, you have the ability to say it in front of your mother, what is it to talk about it behind your back!?"

……

As soon as he spoke, Chen Ruohan's abuse came from outside the bamboo house.

"Getting back to the point, fortunately I listened to Brother Lin's words, if you want to get rich first, the asphalt road between the entire Ming state capitals has been completed, this time from Yingtian to Taoyuan, it only took two hours, I still remember when I first arrived in Taoyuan, I and Zhao Banban were in the carriage for two days."

Zhu Gaoxu tasted the tea in the cup and said thoughtfully.

"You kid definitely didn't come to me just to express his feelings, what the hell is going on, hurry up, and I'll have to send those boys from my family to private school later."

Lin Hao glanced at Zhu Gaoxu angrily.

"It has been ten years since I ascended the throne, the Ming Kingdom is rich and the people are strong, in the eyes of those small countries, it has become an immortal dynasty, I should also step down, and then move to your bamboo house and be an idler, Brother Lin thinks that the position of this monarch should be handed over?"

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, he and Ruohan have never raised a son since they were married.

"Zhu Zhanji, the son of Zhu Gaochi, has the talent of the emperor."

Lin Hao put down the teacup in his hand, squinted his eyes slightly, and said that the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu in history was cleaned up by Zhu Zhanji, but he didn't expect that history would be rewritten now.

"Then according to what Brother Lin said, after returning to Yingtian, he will give way to Zhu Zhanji."

Zhu Gaoxu easily broke off the chicken leg in the enamel bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Holding the grass, just two legs, the tiger eats one ......"

Lin Hao kicked Zhu Gaoxu's ass with black lines on his face.
