In the Dongcheng District of Shenjing City, the teahouse that was sold a month ago was finally renovated today and opened its doors again.

A well-dressed and wealthy man walked slowly into the lobby, looked around at the group of tea customers, bowed with a smile on his face, and greeted them one by one.

"Yo, this isn't Steward Liu, thank you for your support, thank you for your support!"

"Mr. Zhao, Brother Wang, junior brother has seen you!"

Most of the tea guests present were old acquaintances who came to cheer, and when they saw that the rich man was so polite, they also saluted him one after another.

"Brother Li is good to open the door!"

"Looking at Boss Li's face, I know that taking over this teahouse is making a lot of money!"

Boss Li sat down on the counter with a smile, while motioning to the guys to refill the tea and water for the tea customers, while taking the account book in his hand and looking through it with great interest.

An old customer who was originally a teahouse picked up the tea, took a sip, and couldn't help but light up and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Boss Li, your tea tastes better than when I didn't take over before! With this tea alone, brother, I will often come to bother you, Boss Sun, in the future. ”

Hearing this, Boss Li took his eyes off the account books, smiled in his mouth, and arched his hand towards the other party, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"Brother has good eyesight, I can't hide it, this tea is not those vulgar teas in the past, but the Dianshan red that my younger brother spent a lot of money to transport from Miao Jiang. This tea can only be picked in the high mountains and mountains of Miaojiang, the fragrance is high and the flavor is strong, mellow and sweet, with a hint of honey and floral fragrance, it is a rare tea in the top grade. You may wish to savor it. ”

With that, he arched his hand towards the tea guests in the teahouse.

"As soon as Boss Li said this, my Lao Zhao must drink a few more cups to enjoy it!"

"Lao Zhao, this tea needs to be tasted slowly, you are like this, it is a cow chewing peonies, and it is not elegant!"

As soon as these words came out, cheerful laughter suddenly sounded in the teahouse.

Who knew that the tea guest surnamed Zhao put down the tea cup in his hand, arched his hand in the direction of the imperial city, and said:

"Thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu, I can drink this good tea from Miao Jiang. But I'm afraid, when Your Majesty tasted it, he also liked the taste and classified it as tribute tea. At that time, you and I want to drink this sip of Dianshan red again, but it will be difficult. So, everyone said, should I Lao Zhao drink a few more glasses first, and then talk about anything else? ”

"What an old Zhao, you can still say some crooked reasoning!"

Hearing the tea guest surnamed Zhao say this, everyone pointed at him and laughed.

When the laughter subsided, someone spoke:

"Lao Zhao is right, let's drink this sip of Dianshan red, and we really have to thank Your Majesty today."

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately chimed in:

"Speaking of His Majesty today, I can't admire it anymore. What kind of mountain barbarians, Yi people, and Miao people in this Miao Xinjiang have always been a headache for me. Who would have thought that His Majesty would drive the southern expedition and quell the rebellion, and he would solve this problem easily! ”

Before the voice fell, someone said:

"Not only these southern Xinjiang tribes, His Majesty even led the army to personally confront the Burmese army, defeated the Burmese people, fled in the wilderness, and even the commander was killed. Of the 40,000 troops, less than 5,000 fled back. Tsk, it's so miserable......"

However, the man's expression when he spoke could not be completely said to be sympathetic, but only gloating.

Seeing that everyone was talking, Boss Li, who was sitting at the counter, couldn't help but interject:

"Your Majesty is indeed very strong militarily. Don't talk about the anti-king surnamed Huang, and don't talk about Southern Xinjiang, let's talk about this Qi country. Since the Ming Dynasty lost the three prefectures of Jiangbei, when will my Great Chu be able to gain the upper hand in the battle against the Qi army? Who would have thought that this time, His Majesty was thousands of miles away strategizing, and almost wiped out all the Qi army and naval divisions, and Zhang Zhaoxing, a famous general of Qi State, was also killed in this battle. ”

One tea guest couldn't help but blurt out.

"You must know that the previous emperors of our dynasty, at the age of Your Majesty, there are only a few people who can achieve such martial arts. Perhaps, what kind of atmosphere is it for you and me to see Ming Jun in the court in this life? ”

Yes, His Majesty is not yet seventeen years old now......

Thinking of this, everyone in the teahouse had a look of hope in their eyes.

At the same time, in an elegant room on the third floor of the teahouse, several tea guests who were dressed in regular clothes, but whose expressions were either rich or noble, heard the discussion downstairs, and their expressions were solemn and silent.

After a long time, one of the thin men said:

"Your Majesty is so popular with the people, it is really my great blessing."

"Lord Liu, I'm waiting in front of you, so don't talk about these scenes. Let's still discuss, what should we do now? ”

Hearing this, the crowd fell silent again.

After half a tea time, someone said indignantly:

"Chun Yuqing, this idiot, how many beautiful women are there in Shenjing City, he just wants to rob the people in southern Xinjiang! It's just a matter of robbing the people's daughters, and let the bitter lord sue in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty's temperament, as we know, is a master who can't tolerate sand in his eyes! According to me, he deserves to die! It's just that this guy died in southern Xinjiang, how can he die and it won't stop, it will involve us! ”

An old man at the top sighed, waved his hand, and said:

"Chun Yuqing is already so dead that he can't die anymore, what's the use of me waiting to scold him again? Now His Majesty has begun to ask the Jifu to investigate the corruption case of Chun Yuqing, and the person in charge of this case is Di Renjie, the deputy governor of the Spiegel Department of the Jishifu. This old man has dealt with him slightly, and understands that he is a person who is prosperous and not easy to fool. You and I have to find a way to stop him from continuing to investigate this case, otherwise the consequences will be worrying. ”

"How can someone who can be valued by His Majesty be an easy person?"

Someone in the audience said this, and everyone was speechless.

They are almost numb to the viciousness of today's eyes......

One gritted his teeth and said with a face full of unwillingness.

"Could it be that you and I can't do anything like this, and I can't catch it?"

He is just a five-grade Beijing official, and the court is not enough for him to socialize on weekdays, and to spend a little money up and down.

Now that he has finally made a lot of money by relying on this line, how can he be willing to spit out all the things he swallowed in his stomach?

This real money is what he has worked so hard to get, why should he return it to the court!

His words obviously resonated with the others, and they all opened their mouths to echo them.

In the meantime, someone said hatefully:

"If it really doesn't work, we won't do it and ...... directly"

As he spoke, he grimaced, put his hand in front of his neck, and swiped it gently.

Seeing each other's expressions, everyone present was surprised.

"General Zhuo, you are stupid, you dare to do something to Your Majesty?! Do you think you've lived too long? ”

"Your Majesty, what kind of cultivation is it, we are Wenchen, General Zhuo, you are a military general, isn't it clear?"

"What is the difference between you doing this and committing suicide? It is better to surrender to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can be gracious and lenient with us......"

General Zhuo, who was a little stunned by what everyone said, blinked, and after reacting, he said angrily:

"I said, my lords, what do you think? Assassinate Your Majesty, give me ten bear-hearted leopard galls, and the general will never dare! Ben Jiang meant to click Di Huaiying, who was in charge of investigating the case, and then blame the Jin State or the Qi State to divert His Majesty's attention. ”

The old man at the head stroked his beard and groaned:

"Assassinating Di Renjie is not a solution...... I wonder what you think? ”

After a period of silence, everyone took their own positions.

"That's all there is to it."

"It happened suddenly, and we weren't prepared for it. Only by killing Di Renjie first, diverting attention, and delaying time, can I wait to find a way out. ”

"It's just that you have to find a reliable assassin, and you must kill with one blow, otherwise you will be in big trouble."

General Zhuo sneered and nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is better to leave the search for the killer to the general. Ben will have an old relationship with the Demon Gate Weeping Blood Palace, which is famous for cultivating killers, as long as you can afford the price, the Heavenly King Lao Tzu can kill you. ”

The old man at the head groaned slightly, nodded and said:

"Devil's Doorman, that's a good idea! General Zhuo, please leave this matter to the general. How much the other party offers, we will share it evenly. ”

General Zhuo was full of confidence, nodded and said, "This matter is on this general." Wait for the good news. ”

…………

On this day, Di Renjie returned to the yamen of the Jishi Mansion, but saw Li Yuanfang Zhenghou in the room.

"Master Di, the last general secretly sent someone to follow him, and sure enough, he found that those people were secretly meeting in a teahouse. It's just that something was talked about, and it hasn't been clarified yet. ”

It turned out that after getting the information about the officials related to Chun Yuqing from Wu Yizhi's hands, Di Renjie scattered all the spies in the Governor's Mansion and kept an eye on the every move of these officials.

As the progress of their own investigation increased, some people really couldn't sit still and began to connect in series.

Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and asked with a smile, "Yuanfang, what do you think?" ”

Li Yuanfang said without thinking:

"From a humble point of view, since we have found out the movements of these people, it is better to directly let Hebalfu take the initiative and wipe them out!"

"It's not right, it's not right." Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Now we have no direct evidence in our hands, and the information provided by Counselor Wu can only show that these people have been in contact. Don't forget that after His Majesty came to power, he said that he was not to blame for the past of these officials. If you do it at this time, the ministers of the court and the central government will only think that you and I are instructed by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is looking for an excuse to liquidate these 'old ministers'. In this way, not only will His Majesty's prestige be damaged, but it will also cause turmoil in the court. In this way, some of the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Li Yuanfang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but seeing Di Renjie's confident face, he hurriedly asked:

"In your opinion?"

Di Renjie laughed and said, "One word, wait." Yuan Fang, don't forget, the most urgent thing now is not you and me, but them. And the more urgent, the easier it is to make mistakes. We just have to wait for them to make mistakes. ”

Although Di Renjie said this, he had some regrets in his heart.

Unfortunately, I don't know what these people are plotting......

At this moment, an attendant came to the Jishi Mansion and said that His Majesty had summoned Master Di Renjie Di and asked Lord Di to go to the Zihuan Hall as soon as possible.

…………

Rewind the time to the previous day.

In the Warm Spring Pavilion, hearing Yin Wanwan say that Zhu Yuyan had a letter, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked:

"Wan'er, Yuyan has a letter? What did she say in her letter? ”

Yuyan Yuyan, hum!

Even Shizun was secretly eaten by this guy, but he didn't move a single hair of himself, which is really infuriating!

Thinking of this, Yin Wanwan was angry, pouted and took out Zhu Yuyan's letter from the small cabinet next to the bed, threw it into Zhao Yu's hand, and then sat aside without saying a word.

Alas, after coaxing for several days, this sentence is not right, and I am annoyed again!

But he didn't want to......

Zhao Yu sighed helplessly in his heart, opened the letter, and read it line by line.

However, before he could finish the letter, his expression gradually became strange.

Putting the letter aside, Zhao Yu looked at Yin Wanwan and asked in an inexplicable tone:

"Your master said in his letter that there were officials of Great Chu who spent a lot of money and asked them to send someone to take Di Qing's life?"

Weeping Blood Palace, Zhao Yu still has some impressions.

When dealing with Zhu Yuyan for the first time, Yuyan once reminded herself that the Weeping Blood Palace found that the Qi State was preparing grain and grass, and intended to go south to attack Chu.

Speaking of business, Yin Wanwan restrained her expression and nodded: "That's right." Since seeing that Your Majesty treats my Tianyin Pavilion equally, the remaining seven of the eight realms of my Holy Gate also want to teach and accept apprentices in the territory of Great Chu, so I don't want to easily offend Great Chu and Your Majesty. After learning of the other party's request, Feishu sent a letter to Shizun, wanting to ask the reason for it and then make plans. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly.

Is this another sense of the water that washed the Dragon King Temple?

"From the Weeping Blood Palace, you should be able to get the information of the gold lord, right?"

Yin Wanwan shook her head, glanced at Zhao Yu, covered her mouth and smiled:

"Your Majesty thinks too much. Although the Weeping Blood Temple is a member of my Holy Gate, it attaches great importance to principles. No matter how much His Majesty spends money, these assassins will not reveal the information of this gold lord, because it is related to the reputation of the Weeping Blood Temple. ”

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows.

Heh, this group of assassins is quite principled......

"Let me ask Di Qing's opinion first, and then let's talk."

The next day, in the Purple Palace.

Zhao Yu told Di Renjie the ins and outs of the matter, asked for his views as a party, and said that no matter how he chooses, he will express his support.

Di Renjie listened and said without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, as long as that group of thieves is not invited by the Nine Rank Grandmaster, then everything will be as usual."

He secretly thought in his heart that he was still regretting that he didn't know what the other party was plotting, and in the blink of an eye, he learned the content of the conspiracy from His Majesty.

It really fulfilled that sentence: Heaven is evil, but you can still live; You can't live if you do your own evil!

It can be seen that there is a certain number of drinks and pecks......

"Oh?"

Hearing Di Renjie's statement, Zhao Yu was slightly surprised, he leaned forward and asked:

"Di Qing, why is this? Is it a little too risky to do so? If Di Qing really has three longs and two shorts, then I won't even have time to regret it. ”

Di Renjie bowed his hand and explained:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your attention. It's just that this matter is related to the future rule of our dynasty, and I can't be careless. Weichen is guarded by General Li, and with General Li's martial arts, ordinary eight-rank masters can't get half a benefit in front of him. With him, he will be able to protect his ministers. In addition, General Li's righteous defeat of the killers of the Weeping Blood Temple can also let these people in the Holy Gate see the essence of our dynasty, so as to strengthen their confidence in joining our dynasty. ”

"Listening to Qing's words, I understand Qing's painstaking efforts." Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh again and again, "Di Qing is the heart of the public and the country, and I admire it very much. That's right, according to what Di Qing said. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

When Di Renjie left, Zhao Yu summoned Gao Lishi to the front and instructed:

"Although Li Yuanfang is strong in martial arts, I am still afraid that I will hurt Di Qing in case of an emergency. Lux, you send a clever one to follow Di Qing. If Li Yuanfang misses, he can save Di Qing in time. ”

Since the day Gao Lishi entered the palace, he was ordered by Zhao Yu to look for seedlings in the palace, mainly with the "Sunflower Treasure Book", supplemented by various palace secret methods, cultivating shadow eunuchs, and guarding Zhao Yu and harem concubines in the dark.

"Sunflower Treasure Book" is worthy of a quick martial arts, in just half a year, Gao Lishi has cultivated five shadow eunuchs who have reached the eighth grade.

And his own martial arts cultivation has not fallen behind, and he is only one step away from the Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave and maid will do it, Lord Ding Baodi is thoughtful!"

Gao Lishi hurriedly said.

There was a bit of surprise in his heart. His Majesty is really blue-eyed for this Lord Di, and even sent a shadow eunuch to protect him secretly.
