Zhen Guogong did not believe in the assassination of the king of Chu. He was worried that this was a pretense made up by the king of Chu in order to paralyze him and the crown prince.

He wrote a letter and sent it to Wuhuashan's henchmen, asking if there was anything unusual about Wuhuashan. Although he believed that the King of Chu would not find Wuhua Mountain, it was better for him to inquire in person just in case.

Zhen Guogong didn't know that Wuhua Mountain had long been controlled by the King of Chu. His henchmen were also controlled by the King of Chu, who had betrayed him a long time ago.

Wuhuashan's henchmen wrote back to tell Zhen Guogong that there was nothing abnormal in Wuhua Mountain, and everything was as usual. However, the copper of Wuhua Mountain will not last long. At the end of the letter, he asked Zhen Guogong when new copper would arrive, otherwise the work would be halted after a while.

When the prince of Zhenguo Mansion saw that his father had read the letter, he wrinkled his eyebrows, his face was a little not good-looking, thinking that something had happened to Wuhua Mountain, and asked with a worried face: "Dad, the King of Chu went to Wuhua Mountain?" ”

"No, it's business as usual in Wuhua Mountain." Zhen Guogong said, handed the letter in his hand to his son, and let him read it for himself.

The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion hurriedly looked down at the letter and saw that there was nothing abnormal in Wuhua Mountain, but the new copper was not sent, so that the craftsmen there could not continue to forge weapons for the time being.

"Dad, the King of Chu didn't look for Wuhua Mountain, what are you worried about?" Wuhua Mountain is secret, and no matter how capable the King of Chu is, he will not find it there.

"Weapons aren't enough." When Zhen Guogong said this, he sighed slightly, "Now that Pengcheng's copper theft has been discovered, it is difficult to steal copper from Pengcheng and transport it to Wuhua Mountain to forge weapons. "They can't continue forging weapons, it's a big deal for them.

Hearing what the Duke of Zhenguo said, the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo realized the seriousness of this matter.

"Dad, it's better to transfer copper from somewhere else." Pengcheng's copper can't be transported to Wuhua Mountain, so get it from somewhere else, and there is more than one place in Pengcheng in Dazhou.

"Where's the transport?" Zhen Guogong shook his head lightly and said, "It's not easy to misappropriate copper from somewhere else without knowing it. Moreover, the emperor has already noticed that if he does it again, it will only ignite the fire. "In the past few years, they have been very secretive about the embezzlement of copper in Pengcheng, and I don't know who exposed the horse's feet and let the emperor notice it.

The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion felt that his father's thoughts were right, "Then we can only wait a few years." ”

The mayor of Zhenguo sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't wait." ”

When the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion heard this, he was shocked and said, "Dad, what do you mean ......?"

Seeing his son's frightened look, Zhenguo Gong smiled at him soothingly: "Father's plan is to take precautions." ”

"Dad, even if the King of Chu is still alive, even if he has the ability to sneak back to the capital secretly, as long as he doesn't find Wuhua Mountain, there is no evidence, and the emperor can't do anything with us." The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion also did not believe that the king of Chu, Shen Jiang, had died.

"King Chu ......," Zhen Guogong said, a killing intent surging in his eyes, "He has become our biggest obstacle, and we can't let him live no matter what." ”

"The whereabouts of the King of Chu are still unknown, and our people have searched the Jinling River for many days but have not found the whereabouts of the King of Chu." The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion frowned and said, "Except for Jinling, other places have also been found, and there is no news from the King of Chu." Where is this King of Chu hiding? ”

"It's because we underestimated the King of Chu, he made a lot of doppelgangers all the way to Pengcheng, and the one whose whereabouts in Jinling Shenjiang is unknown should also be his doppelganger." The king of Chu is more difficult to deal with than the king of Dai. The king of Chu should not have been allowed to grow in the first place.

"Dad, where do you think King Chu will go?" Jiangnan said that it was not big, it was not small, and it was not difficult to find someone, but he didn't find the king of Chu.

"I asked Pengcheng to mislead the King of Chu, and it is possible that the King of Chu went to Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou?" The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion looked surprised, "If the King of Chu really went to Yangzhou, it is impossible that there will be no news at all." ”

"Yangzhou is not our place, Yangzhou Taishou is the maternal grandfather of the Ten Princes, and the Ten Princes have a close relationship with the King of Chu, and it is not impossible for Yangzhou Taishou to shelter and hide the King of Chu."

"So, the king of Chu is in Yangzhou."

"Quite possibly."

"Dad, since we know that the King of Chu is in Yangzhou, why don't we send someone to Yangzhou to get rid of the King of Chu?" The expression of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion became grim, "Dad, you must not let the King of Chu return to Beijing alive." ”

"You can't do it in Yangzhou."

The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion asked with a puzzled face, "Why is this?" Although Yangzhou Taishou is the maternal grandfather of the Ten Princes, he is not afraid, and we can get rid of him. ”

"Yangzhou is too guarded to be worried, but Yangzhou is a place controlled by the emperor, not a place where we can mess around." Zhenguo Gong He didn't want to get to know the king of Chu directly in Yangzhou, saving him a lot of dreams at night. "Once we make a move in Yangzhou, we will only anger the emperor."

"Then we can only wait for the King of Chu to return to Beijing, and do it on his way back to Beijing." The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion thought that there was a doppelganger on the way to Pengcheng before the king of Chu, and he couldn't figure out where his real body was. I'm afraid that on the way back to Beijing, the king of Chu will use this trick again. "Dad, we have to find a way to inquire about the news of the King of Chu, otherwise if the King of Chu repeats his old tricks, we will not be able to find his true body, so it will be difficult to get rid of him before he returns to Beijing."

"My father has sent someone to Yangzhou to inquire about the news of the King of Chu." Although they can't kill the king of Chu in Yangzhou, it's okay to secretly find out the whereabouts of the king of Chu.

"I didn't expect the King of Chu to ......" The words of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion were not finished, but the meaning was obvious. By the way, King Jing's side...... Jinling was messed up by King Jing, and Li Dao was missing. ”

Mentioning the matter over there in Jinling, a touch of anger passed through Zhen Guogong's heart.

"What a bunch of rubbish." Several families joined forces to deal with a single Song family.

"Dad, what we did in Jinling, I'm afraid King Jing already knows everything."

"When he returns to Beijing, kill him on the way." When Zhen Guogong said that he would kill King Jing, his eyes didn't blink, and his tone didn't change at all.

The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion said thoughtfully: "Count the days, it is time for King Jing to leave for Beijing." ”

King Jing, who was worried about the father and son of Zhenguo, had written to the emperor, begging to stay in Jinling and continue to preside over the next government and court examinations.

The Emperor had just received a letter from King Jing. After reading the content of the letter, the emperor let out a chuckle: "The seventh is smart. ”

Sun Kui brought a cup of freshly brewed tea and brought it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, what has His Royal Highness King Jing done to make you so happy?"

"Lao Qi went to Jinling to hold the imperial examination and did a good job, and he didn't disappoint me." The emperor picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a few sips of tea elegantly, "He wrote a letter to ask me to promise him to be in charge of the next government and hospital examinations in Jinling. ”

"This shows that His Royal Highness King Jing wants to continue to share your worries."

The emperor gently rubbed the rim of the cup with the lid of the tea, and he said with a smile: "He stayed in Jinling and wanted to continue to be in charge of the imperial examination, on the one hand, to win over the scholars in Jinling, and on the other hand, to survive. ”

"Live?" Sun Kui was frightened by these two words, "Your Majesty, does anyone want to harm His Royal Highness King Jing?" ”

"His own uncle, the Duke of Zhenguo."

Sun Kui was so frightened that he almost screamed, but fortunately he closed his mouth in time.

"Zhenguo Gong wants to kill His Royal Highness King Jing?"

The emperor put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Sun Kui, and asked, "How is the queen's body?" ”

"Secretly changed the medicine, the queen's body is not a big problem, but the queen mother will be dizzy from time to time." Sun Kui said truthfully.

"Don't keep letting the queen fall into a stupor, let her faint every few days." The emperor's fingers tapped lightly on the imperial table, and he muttered, "I decree that the queen should recuperate." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, let Concubine Rong and Concubine Ying assist the queen in managing the harem."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Kui said in his heart that the emperor asked the two concubines to help manage the harem, which was even more uncomfortable for the queen than killing her. What the queen mother cares about most is her position as the queen, as well as her power to manage the harem.

"When do you think the queen will find out that her illness is the poisonous hand of the Duke of Zhenguo?"

"This ...... The slave didn't know. "The queen said she was smart, and she was often stupid. Call her stupid, but she's smart sometimes. "Your Majesty, do you want to reveal some news to the queen?"

"Now is not the time, and if she finds out in advance, it will be a different story." The Emperor said, "If she doesn't find out, don't warn her just yet." ”

"Yes." Sun Kui muttered in his heart: Your Majesty, do you want the queen to find out, or do you not want the queen to find out.

Seeing that the emperor still had to review the folds, Sun Kui quietly retreated. As soon as he left the imperial study, the emperor said to the empty imperial study, "Where is the fourth child?" ”

At this moment, a dark shadow appeared silently in the imperial study.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived in Guiling, and there is still half a month to go, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu will be able to arrive in the capital."

"It seems that the fourth child's journey back to Beijing is going well."

"Zhenguo Gong, they didn't notice the movement of the King of Chu." The black shadow continued to pray, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his party pretended to be merchants, and they did not arouse any suspicion along the way. ”

"I really didn't expect the fourth child to have this ability." Don't think that pretending to be a businessman is a very simple thing, but it's not easy, and if you don't do it well, you will be recognized. When the king of Chu went to Wuhua Mountain, he pretended to be a merchant, which did not arouse the slightest suspicion of the people of Zhenguo Gong, and then the king of Chu pretended to be a craftsman, and did not arouse the suspicion of the steward and other workers of Guihua Village.

Now back in Beijing, the king of Chu continued to pretend to be a businessman, facing various interrogations and inquiries along the way, but the result was still not found. This ability to disguise impressed the emperor.

The reason why the king of Chu was able to pretend to be a merchant so successfully was mainly because he had the market gas and the merchant's philistine. He has these two qi in his body because when he was in Liangzhou, he often went out on patrol. In order to better understand the lives of the people of Liangzhou, he often pretends to be someone else. He is in Liangzhou, and he often deals with all kinds of people, so he can naturally play all kinds of people.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, they are well prepared." The black shadow means that the king of Chu pretended to be a businessman, and he really prepared a lot of things to sell. They are also on the road and selling things at the same time. If they come across something good on the way, they will buy it.

"The fourth is good." The emperor was really satisfied with the king of Chu. If Zhao Yao is not the person who can bring prosperity to the Great Zhou in the mouth of the old Taoist, the emperor's favorite person is the King of Chu. As far as the current performance of King Chu is concerned, King Chu has done a very good job in all aspects and has not disappointed the emperor.

The only drawback of the King of Chu is the Li family behind him. The Li family is the help of the king of Chu, but it will also drag the king of Chu back.

It is not a good thing to trust and reuse literati too much. If the king of Chu ascends to the throne, he will be able to suppress Wenchen when he reigns, but if he dies, his son may not be able to suppress Wenchen.

The most important thing is that the king of Chu has been influenced by the Li family since he was a child, and he has long regarded the sage book as a guide. Although he was not as rigid as the prince, his style of conduct was influenced by the books of the sages.

Sometimes reading too many books is not a good thing, but reading less is not a good thing either.

Alas, the fourth child became the emperor, which could make the world peaceful and allow the people to live a stable life, but the fourth child could not bring prosperity to the Great Zhou. The son of the fourth child, I'm afraid he won't be able to create a prosperous world.

If you want to create a prosperous world, in addition to extraordinary wisdom and means, you must also have the boldness that ordinary people can't have. Xiao Shi is bolder than the fourth, to be precise, there are no rules than the fourth, so the little ten days can bring prosperity to the Great Zhou.

"It's a pity." For the king of Chu, the emperor not only admires, but also loves. used the King of Chu to pave the way for Zhao Yao in the future, which made him feel a little guilty.

The black shadow did not speak, and stood quietly in the dim corner waiting for the emperor's orders.

The emperor was only soft-hearted and indebted for a while, and soon returned to normal.

"Continue to secretly protect the King of Chu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor waved his hand at the shadow, and the shadow returned to the darkness, no one was visible.

"By the way, how about the little ten Li Dao?"

The black shadow appeared from the darkness again, and said in a respectful tone: "Li Dao is about to lose his hold. ”

The emperor hooked the corners of his mouth and asked with interest, "What did Xiao Shi do?" ”

It's the end of the month, and I humbly ask for a monthly pass online!
