Chapter 253: Gather in Jinling

Emperor Zhu Houzhao toured south to Yangzhou, and the hundred officials should have been walking on thin ice as if they were on the edge of the abyss, but Yangzhou had an iron-clad prefect, and he did not buy His Majesty's absurd behavior.

The prefect of Jiang, who did not know the current affairs, only provided the emperor with accompanying utensils, and did not give anything, and for his behavior, the favored ministers were very angry.

Jiang Bin, as the commander-in-chief of all this, originally wanted to rob the houses of the rich people as the mansion of the mighty deputy general, but was strongly opposed by Jiang Yao.

Jiang Bin held a grudge and ordered Jiang Yao to be locked up in an empty house to humiliate him, and threatened him with a copper gourd given by the emperor, but Jiang Yao was unmoved.

"My lord, do you want to wipe it?" After humiliating Jiang Yao, his cronies and subordinates walked out of the room and made a head-killing action in front of Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin frowned, and said angrily: "Stupid, Jiang Yao is a dignified prefect, how can he kill him casually?"

In desperation, Jiang Bin had to let the prefect release him, and as soon as Jiang Yao left the room, a subordinate came to tell him that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see him.

The surface of the lake rippled slightly, and Emperor Zhu Houzhao fished under the protection of everyone, his patience was not very good, and he often pulled out the fishing rod to see if there were any fish on the bait.

Jiang Yao watched from the side for a long time, and His Majesty the Emperor finally came to operate and hoisted a big fish, Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "This fish is worth five hundred gold." ”

Jiang Bin immediately handed over the fish to Jiang Yao and said, "Governor Jiang, the emperor's grace is mighty, you can buy this fish." ”

Jiang Yao did not refuse on the spot, and in the face of this unreasonable request, he went home to prepare the silver taels, when Jiang Yao carried his wife's hairpin and garment to offer. said: "There is no money in the treasury, all the ministers have is these." ”

Emperor Zhu Houzhao smiled. With a wave of his hand, he sent him away. didn't take his money, and Da Yubai gave it to the backbone prefect.

Within a few days, Emperor Zhu Houzhao sent someone to him to ask for a local specialty-Qionghua. Jiang Yao was so angry that his muscles burst out, and he replied without knowing whether he was alive or dead: "Qionghua originally existed, but since Huizong hunted in the north, this flower has become extinct. ”

The eunuch who passed the decree was immediately frightened and bloodless, Jiang Yao looked at him, and said angrily: "You just tell Your Majesty what I said, if you want to kill or kill me, Jiang Yao won't say a word." ”

The eunuch trembled and went back to his life. To everyone's surprise, Emperor Zhu Houzhao heard this, just sighed, smiled, and said: "There are a few more such courtiers in the Ming Dynasty, why worry about the invasion of foreign enemies." That's it, no one is allowed to trouble Jiang Yao again, and he will drive from now on. ”

The news that the emperor was leaving, Jiang Yao learned it for the first time. After all, he is the lord of a country, and in this regard, Jiang Yao gathered his subordinates and set up a banquet. Practice for His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor came to the banquet, looked at the dishes on the table, and sank his face. accused: "Putting so many dishes like this, you are waiting for you to be an official of the imperial court." Is it so extravagant and wasteful?"

The hundred officials were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they didn't know the specifications of the imperial dining room. This table of dishes is not particularly sumptuous, and the super-rich merchants of Yangzhou City can do this every day.

As the prefect, Jiang Yao was still worried about such a shabby banquet, who knew that His Majesty the Emperor was different from ordinary people, and even accused them of extravagance and waste, which made him unable to find the north and south.

Just when the ministers were trembling and at a loss, the emperor laughed and said: "Nian Zhongqing is also a good intention, for fear that I will be hungry, I will not be as knowledgeable as you, and I will fold these banquets into silver taels and hand them over to me, and the matter will be stopped." ”

Kneeling on the ground, like a frightened bird, the ministers fell silent, and the holy will was unpredictable, and sure enough. Just when Jiang Yao and the other officials were at a loss, the emperor laughed recklessly and walked away.

Jiang Zhifu and others saw the emperor and his team walking away, they stood up tremblingly, and the officials surrounded Jiang Yao and asked him what to do, Jiang Yao comforted everyone and asked them to keep their posts, and he took on whatever he wanted.

After the confused subordinates left, the corner of the hard-boned prefect's mouth hooked up a light smile, and he said secretly: "It's because he thought of it, maybe he is not as mediocre as the world rumores, and all the absurd behaviors are just disguises." ”

Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn't hear Jiang Yao's words, he had already started driving and was getting closer and closer to Nanjing City. If he knew the heartfelt words of the hard-headed prefect, he would definitely be very excited, after all, in this world, there are not many confidants who can understand him.

In December of the 14th year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao finally arrived in Nanjing, where he would usher in the greatest danger in his life.

At the same time, Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Jiangxi, and Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, who was defeated like a lost dog, were also rushing to Nanjing.

And Ling Tian, the little priest of Tianmen, and Feng Mu were also rushing towards Nanjing, and they stopped and stopped, but it was like a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Feng Mu didn't have much ill feeling for this old naughty boy who walked on tiptoe, although this person had a different position from him, but he was not as cruel as Ji Xian, and he would do anything to achieve his goal.

When they were on their way, they were so swift that they were like white horses, making it difficult to distinguish their figures. But they would stop for three meals a day and enjoy the food, Feng Mu saw this old urchin eating, and he firmly believed in the idea in his heart.

This person should be able to be a friend, even if this old man has encountered the vicissitudes of life, he still does not change his innocent nature, how rare.

His taste is very tricky, and all the dishes he orders are rare delicacies, many of which are not available in small shops, and the old man is not domineering, but patiently tells the cook how to make this dish to be perfect.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that the other party has eyes and does not know Taishan, and wants to drive him out, and he is forced to teach the other party a lesson.

"You really don't want to learn martial arts from me?"

During the meal, the old man asked again, Feng Mu glanced at him, and said helplessly: "You have asked dozens of times, you didn't talk about blisters in your mouth, but my ears have already heard calluses." ”

"In that case, you should agree to learn martial arts from me, so that I won't bother you again. ”

Feng Mu couldn't laugh or cry at the old man's indifferent words, he had already clearly told him that he had no money, and secondly, he didn't have the time and energy to learn other martial arts, just the previous martial arts were enough for him to digest for a long time.

If you don't discriminate, if you practice nonsense, sooner or later you will go mad and die.

This newcomer to the martial arts realm understands the truth, Feng Mu naturally knows it, after listening to the old man talk about his martial arts cultivation attributes, Feng Mu decided that it is not integrated with the martial arts he practiced before.

The old man originally said that he would teach him martial arts only if he promised one thing, but now he took the initiative to teach it, and this kid refused to learn it alive or dead, which made him lose face and be extremely embarrassed.

Just when the old man was grinding hard and pestering Feng Mu to let him learn martial arts, many martial arts people of unknown origin had already come to Nanjing City.

Before they knew it, they were less than five miles away from the city of Nanjing.

Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is about to usher in an earth-shattering drama, but the protagonists of this drama have not yet been counted.
