Chapter Eighty-Six: The Morning Ahead (4,000 Words)
Such a foreign merchant is helpless in the capital, isn't he at the mercy of Hu Fei?
You must know that behind him, there is a captain of the city's city guards, and dozens of ruthless people under him.
Wouldn't it be easy to clean up a few outsiders?
Where did Li Changfeng suffer such grievances, his face immediately sank, and he didn't talk nonsense with Hu Fei, and directly ordered Lei Qi's entourage in disguise: "Arrest me and beat me hard!" ”
"No!"
Lei Qi, who had been holding back the fire in his stomach for a long time, shouted, and rushed up to control Hu Fei, and the crackling was a hard beating.
Hu Fei was beaten and screamed, but he didn't realize that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked, so he didn't forget to threaten viciously: "You are dead, do you know who my backer is?" It's the captain of the city guard! Let me go, it's too late, or I'll kill you! ”
Li Changfeng smiled coldly and took out the token: "Then look at who I am?" ”
Seeing the token, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of disbelief: "Impossible!" ”
"I must have read it wrong!"
Exclaimed twice, Hu Fei shook his head a few times, rubbed his eyes again, and leaned over to continue to look carefully.
After he made sure that the token was genuine, the whole person fell to the ground in an instant, and collapsed on the ground like a mess of mud.
"His Royal Highness...... It turned out to be His Royal Highness! ”
Hu Fei muttered to himself, his originally ruddy face had become pale as paper at this time, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell down.
Threatening to kill a prince is a capital crime for the Nine Clans!
At this time, Xu Feng'er, who was most unaccustomed to bullying, sneered coldly: "You don't want to kill His Royal Highness the Prince, get it?" ”
Hu Fei was so frightened that he trembled, quickly got up and knelt down, and kowtowed to Li Changfeng: "Your Highness, they are all small and have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, you just let me go as if I was a fart, please!" ”
Every kowtow was thumping, and after a few strokes, a lot of blood was already flowing from Hu Fei's forehead.
A snobster like this, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, is everywhere, Li Changfeng didn't bother to bother with him so much, waved his hand in disgust and said, "Don't knock." ”
Hu Fei stopped, but he didn't dare to get up, and said excitedly: "Is Your Highness willing to let me go?" ”
Where would Li Changfeng let him go so easily, and said lightly: "Let's talk about this shop, how many taels are you going to sell?" ”
Hu Fei hurriedly said: "The market price is two thousand taels, and Xiaomin will sell it at two thousand taels...... However, in order to express my apologies to Your Highness, Xiaomin is willing to sell it for 1,000 taels! ”
Selling at such a price, he is equivalent to a loss of 1,000 taels, but it is nothing compared to his own life.
However, Li Changfeng didn't buy it, shook his head and said, "No, it's too expensive." ”
Hu Fei observed Li Changfeng's expression and asked cautiously, "How much do you think is appropriate, Your Highness?" ”
Li Changfeng smiled slightly and raised a finger: "One penny." ”
Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Your Highness, a penny is too little, and the market price of this shop is ......."
As soon as he was halfway through his words, he was shocked when he saw Li Changfeng, who seemed to be smiling, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, he gritted his teeth, and hurriedly changed his mouth and said in pain: "Your Highness, you are right, the market price of this shop is a penny, and Xiaomin sold it!" ”
He knew that if he didn't agree, he would be in big trouble.
Li Changfeng smiled faintly: "Count you as acquaintances." ”
Next, Hu Fei took out the title deed and made changes, and Li Changfeng didn't take the shop in vain, so he really found a penny and gave it to him.
Hu Fei looked at the penny in his hand and wanted to cry without tears, and he wanted to slap himself hundreds of times on the spot.
Let yourself be greedy, it's good now, and the shop worth two thousand taels will be sold for a penny.
Damn, damn it!
After buying the shop and completing the formalities, Li Changfeng returned to the inn, only to see Gao Dali waiting outside his door.
"Yo, Lao Gao, why are you here?" Li Changfeng laughed, walked over quickly, hugged Gao Dali's neck, and said in a low voice: "Old Gao, is the medicine you gave last time good?" I'm still there when I'm done with this, so I'm sure you're singing every night! ”
Gao Dali's cheeks twitched, and there was a bitterness in his heart.
Again?
Can you not mention this stubble?
Our family is a eunuch!
He didn't want to talk about this topic, twisted his shoulders, and saw that Li Changfeng refused to let go, so he had no choice but to let him hold him, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness entered Beijing yesterday, have you ever gone to see Your Majesty?" ”
Early this morning, Emperor Qianwu and he waited for Li Changfeng to meet him, looking forward to the moment of meeting.
But left and right, they all waited until noon, but they still didn't see Li Changfeng to see him, and Emperor Qianwu was immediately angry.
Bastard, when you arrive in the capital, you don't even visit your father?
Then he sent Gao Dali to inquire about the situation and wanted to know what was going on.
Li Changfeng glanced at Gao Dali and said, "The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, what does it matter to you?" ”
Gao Dali looked stunned for a moment, and then said with a somewhat unnatural dry laugh: "The lower official just asked casually." ”
But the heart is mixed.
Why isn't the emperor in a hurry?
It's all in a hurry!
He, the great eunuch beside the emperor, can he not be in a hurry?
Of the many princes of the entire Great Qian, only the ninth prince Li Changfeng can make Emperor Qianwu so attentive.
Entering the room, Li Changfeng and Gao Dali sat opposite each other.
Thinking of Emperor Qianwu's instructions, Gao Dali made a serious expression, and said: "Your Highness, when you arrive in the capital, you should go to see Your Majesty as soon as possible, this is the rule!" ”
Li Changfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, when the other royal brothers and brothers are here, our brothers will go to see our father together." ”
But he muttered in his heart, what to see, to see alone, isn't that all the attention of the emperor's father falling on him alone? How can it work.
Pull the other princes to see together, you are a little transparent, you will definitely not pay so much attention, and you can be deceived casually, how good.
Li Changfeng didn't want to talk about it, so he joked: "By the way, why don't you see Lao Li?" It can't be that I made a lot of money and went to the kiln and didn't want to come out, right? ”
Dare to say that Your Majesty is really bold to visit the kiln!
However, who told Emperor Qianwu to hide his identity?
Gao Dali said helplessly: "Your Highness, Master Li is not that kind of person, he has been a little busy these days, and he really can't get out!" ”
Speaking of this, Gao Dali paused for a moment and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, you will meet soon." ”
Li Changfeng didn't doubt him, nodded and said, "Well, that's good, I still have to talk to him about business matters." ”
The little imperial tea Lao Li sold it too expensive, and he let him eat most of it, and Li Changfeng was thinking about raising the price with him.
The two chatted for a while, and Gao Dali returned to the palace to report to Emperor Qianwu what Li Changfeng said.
As for what Li Changfeng said about visiting the kiln, he didn't hear it, and he didn't mention it at all.
After listening to his report, Emperor Qianwu scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, he is quite cautious, he still doesn't want me to know that he has returned to Beijing, and he is trying to get through the trick!" ”
Gao Dali smiled and said, "Your Majesty already knows everything about His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, how can he let him pass the test in confusion?" Why don't you send someone to ask Your Highness to come to see you? ”
Emperor Qianwu waved his sleeves and said: "No need, after the other princes return to Beijing one after another, they will be summoned unified, I want to see, when he sees me above the court, what will be his expression!" ”
Imagining the various expressions that Li Changfeng might have, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but laugh.
……
Soon, Li Changfeng bought a mansion that covered a large area and was built quite elegantly.
After moving in, Li Changfeng immediately found craftsmen and personally asked them to renovate and renovate according to the standards of the Baishi City Mansion.
Two days later, Li Changfeng was having lunch when he ordered the eunuch to come to the mansion to announce the decree and let him make a pilgrimage tomorrow morning.
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised that the eunuch could easily find his mansion, but he was not surprised.
After all, the capital is the emperor's territory, and if you don't know about it for two days, then don't be the emperor.
When the eunuch finished reading the decree, Li Changfeng stepped forward to receive the decree, and quietly stuffed a stack of silver tickets into his hand.
"Father-in-law has worked hard!" Li Changfeng patted the eunuch's shoulder with a gentle smile on his face.
Gonggong Zhang subconsciously glanced at the silver ticket, and after seeing that it was five hundred taels, he was startled and hurriedly retreated: "Your Highness, you can't help it, you can't help it!" ”
On weekdays, they are comfortable serving the nobles in the palace, and occasionally they will be rewarded, usually twenty or thirty taels of silver.
A one-time reward of five hundred taels like this, not to mention that he has never encountered it, even if he has never heard of it.
His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes' generosity far exceeded his expectations.
Before coming to deliver the decree, Gao Dali also chatted with him for a while, openly and secretly saying that the Nine Emperors were not simple, and told him not to despise him.
Now that I have finally seen it, it is not simple, it is simply too arrogant, even Emperor Qianwu has not rewarded any eunuch so generously, except for those who have made great contributions.
has been in the palace for so long, how can he not know that Gao Dali's meaning is not only so simple, it clearly pointed out a clear path for him, so that he could pay attention to Li Changfeng.
Thinking that His Majesty had gone to the Deserted Mansion before, Gonggong Zhang secretly speculated that it had something to do with the Nine Emperors.
If this is the case, then the future of the Nine Emperor Princes is simply limitless.
In this case, if anyone still regards Li Changfeng as a waste prince who has been neglected and is not favored, then the consequences will definitely be extremely miserable.
Therefore, where did he dare to accept Li Changfeng's money.
But Li Changfeng didn't give him a chance to return, and forced it into his hand and said, "Why is my father-in-law so polite? It's not easy for you to run errands on weekdays, and you're always waiting carefully, how hard it is! ”
Speaking of this, Li Changfeng paused, patted Zhang's father-in-law's arm, and said earnestly: "Actually, I can understand you, you can't do things that are humane, and there is no descendant to support the elderly, what hope is there for the future?" It's good to save more money, and you won't be afraid of running out of money to spend when you leave the palace in the future, and it can be regarded as a guarantee for yourself! ”
Li Changfeng doesn't know how many film and television dramas he has watched, and he has heard a lot of stories about eunuchs in historical books and folk anecdotes, and knows the pain points in their hearts.
In just a few words, it reached the heart of Gonggong Zhang, and his eyes were slightly red when he heard it, and his heart was sad.
It's just a matter of not being able to do humane, he has been used to it for so many years, but when the grace is always over, people will always get old.
Eunuchs who have no heirs to support their old age, after leaving the palace in old age and decay, if there is no silver, their later life is simply not too miserable.
This is also the reason why many eunuchs are particularly greedy for money, Li Changfeng's words moved Gonggong Zhang so much that he didn't know what to say.
"Our family...... Our ......"
Li Changfeng patted his father-in-law on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Needless to say, I understand, I understand!" ”
For a while, Gonggong Zhang introduced Li Changfeng as a confidant in his heart, and even had a feeling of hating each other.
"The old slave thanked His Highness!" Gonggong Zhang took a deep breath, collected his emotions, put away the silver ticket, and bowed down and said: "Your Highness must get up early tomorrow, but don't delay the time of the early dynasty, when the time comes, there will be a palace carriage waiting outside to pick up Your Highness." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law." Li Changfeng nodded, and when he saw that the time was ripe, he asked quietly: "Father-in-law, how is the specific arrangement for tomorrow morning?" Before the ten-year period has arrived, will Your Majesty ask the prince? Or is it that the prince who thinks he has political achievements will report on his own duties? ”
As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do.
Li Changfeng took out so many silver taels to give to Father-in-law Zhang today, and laid so much groundwork, just to inquire about these things.
He is an unfavored, marginal prince known as a waste, but he doesn't want to suddenly shine in the court.
It's best to be ignored by everyone, spend this meeting peacefully, and then return to White Rock City to live your own little life.
Where does Father-in-law Zhang know about the affairs of the court, even if he knows, he doesn't dare to talk much, this is a matter of losing his head.
He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Highness, how can you know about the affairs of the court, and the old slave is not a close eunuch?" Don't think about it too much, put your heart in your stomach, and go to court safely. ”
Seeing that he didn't find out any useful information, Li Changfeng was slightly disappointed, and was looked at by Grandpa Zhang.
Just as he was about to leave, he thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Your Highness, as the old slave can see, Your Majesty and Gonggong Gao attach great importance to you, and you will behave well in the court tomorrow!" ”
Hearing Gonggong Zhang's words, Li Changfeng was a little dazed.
That cheap emperor daddy values himself?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If he paid attention to himself, he had stayed in the Wasteland for so many days and summoned him to the Wasteland, why didn't he see him?
If he paid attention to it, how could he leave him in a place like White Rock City where birds don't, and ignore him for nearly ten years?
Grandpa Zhang must have made the wrong person!
Li Changfeng did not give up and asked Father-in-law Zhang for details, but Father-in-law Zhang was tight-lipped and refused to say a word again.
Helpless, Li Changfeng didn't think about it anymore.
Anyway, when you are in the main hall, you will definitely not show anything, and it is best not to say a word until you have to, just be a transparent person.
Then watch the other princes behave there, wait for the court meeting to pass, stay for a few days to arrange the business in the capital, and then go directly back to BC City to live his leisurely life.
The next day, at the third watch.
Li Changfeng was sleeping soundly, Bingbing came to his side, his mouth was close to his ear, and he exhaled like a land: "Your Highness, it's time to get up!" ”
Li Changfeng opened his eyes in a daze and glanced outside, then closed his eyes and said vaguely: "Isn't it early?" This prince is going to sleep. ”
Bingbing smiled, blew in Li Changfeng's ear and said, "Your Highness, this morning, the carriage that picks you up is already waiting outside the mansion, you can't sleep anymore!" ”
