Chapter 134 Man of Destiny (add 7 for "I want to live for decades")

Chang'an in early spring is raining continuously.

In the gutters on both sides of Suzaku Avenue, last year's broken branches and leaves are still soaked in it, shaking slightly with the dripping spring rain.

The spring rain kept falling with a little chill.

More than ten riders rushed into Chang'an City in the spring rain.

"drive!"

Suzaku Street was unbelievably spacious, but the aura of the dozen or so riders caused the chariots and horses in front to give way one after another.

The curtain of a carriage was lifted, and Wang Xian'er poked her head out to take a look, "It is King Wei who has returned to Chang'an? God knows who will be unlucky."

The maid in the car whispered: "Little lady, don't poke your head out."

Wang Xian'er looked up a few more times before putting down the curtain resentfully.

More than ten riders came to the front of the palace city. The leading knight dismounted, standing there with a burly body, his gaze coldly swept over the sergeant guarding the gate, "Send a message, I beg to see you."

The news spread to the palace immediately.

"His Majesty."

The emperor who was reading the memorial raised his eyes impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Just before that, several censors impeached noble concubines and ran amok in the palace relying on the emperor's favor.

This is a backlash against the impeachment of Yang Songcheng last time, the emperor just floated the bullets away.

Han Shitou lowered his head slightly, "Your Majesty, King Wei asks to see you."

The emperor raised his eyes and rubbed his forehead with some headaches, "What is he here for?"

Han Shitou reminded, "Your Majesty, King Wei submitted the memorial in advance, and His Majesty promised him to return to Chang'an from the fief Qianzhou to visit Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu Qiao was an old man when the emperor was in the hidden residence, and gave birth to Wei Wang Li Yan.

The emperor nodded.

Then King Wei was taken outside the palace.

Han Shitou went out, "Your Majesty, please follow us."

King Wei's fleshy cheeks trembled slightly, and his eyes turned to the hall.

After entering the hall, King Wei saluted.

"Meet Aye!"

The thick voice echoed in the hall.

The emperor put down the memorial and looked at the second son calmly, "How about Qianzhou?"

King Wei raised his head and looked at the emperor boldly, "Qianzhou is boring, I want to go to northern Xinjiang and lead the army to fight."

The emperor said lightly: "Go and see your mother."

"Yes."

King Wei stood up and resigned angrily.

Han Shitou sent him out, watched him disappear before turning and entering the hall.

The emperor had finished disposing of the memorial, got up and walked slowly in the hall.

He suddenly looked at Han Shitou and asked, "How about Zhang Chumao after returning to southern Xinjiang?"

Han Shitou recalled the news he received recently in his mind, "It was very quiet."

"If you don't become the military governor of Northern Xinjiang, will you be in a state of failure?" The emperor smiled, "The patriarch's vision of recruiting sons-in-law seems to be worse than mine."

The emperor's smile fell on Han Shitou's eyes with a hint of ridicule.

It turned out that the emperor had no intention of letting Zhang Chumao take over as the governor of northern Xinjiang at all.

A family of four surnames has been busy for a long time, but they are so busy and lonely.

They didn't know the emperor's mind at all.

Han Shitou even wondered whether Zhang Chumao's lie about his military exploits had already fallen into the eyes of the emperor. Even if Liao Jin was threatened by Zhang Chumao to change his words, he would still come up with something to expose Zhang Chumao's lies.

The emperor's ability to manipulate power remains the same.

There was a gloomy look in his eyes.

……

Concubine Shu Qiao sat in front of the window, looking lazily at Chun Yu.

"The spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River is like silk threads, lingering. The spring rain in Chang'an is sparse, and he looks like an old man." You can see the demeanor of that delicate and pretty woman from the Jiangnan Water Village back then.

Standing on the side, Yu Nan, the head of the servants, said with a smile: "Your Majesty said so that the servants want to go and see, at least they will be drenched in the lingering spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River."

Concubine Shu's body suddenly trembled, and Yu Nan stepped forward, "Your Majesty is not in good health?"

Concubine Shu stood up abruptly, put her hands on the window sill, poked her head out, and said joyfully, "Erlang!"

Yu Nan walked to the door and said with a smile, "I've seen the king."

King Wei walked outside the door, shaking all over, water splashed.

Concubine Shu laughed inside, "You were like this when you were young, shaking the rain like a dog, but you can't change it when you grow up."

King Wei walked in and knelt down, "Aniang, I'm here to see you."

Concubine Shu rubbed the top of his head, her eyes were gentle, "Even if A Niang can't compete with the Queen, she can't compete with the Liang family, but there is one A Niang who is better than them. A Niang has a filial son."

The mother and son sat down opposite each other, Concubine Shu asked people to get cloth towels and hot tea.

"Mother, you've lost weight." Wei Wang frowned and looked at Yu Nan, "How do you wait for me?"

Yu Nan shivered, "I dare not be negligent."

Concubine Shu said angrily: "Why do you want to be fat? It's good to lose weight. Look at those thin people who live longer."

King Wei said in a deep voice: "Being filial to the emperor back then did not lead to a long life."

"shut up!"

Concubine Shu stared, then nodded to the man.

Yu Nan poked his head out of the window to look around, then turned around and said, "No one."

"From now on, don't talk about being filial to the emperor." Concubine Shu took the cloth towel and wiped King Wei's hair.

Sitting on his knees, King Wei looked majestic, against which the mother behind him was extraordinarily petite.

"Auntie."

"Ok!"

"The last time I heard those clan elders mention honoring the emperor, they were a little dissatisfied. Why?"

This son is just disobedient!

Concubine Shu lowered her voice, "Back then, when he was filial to the emperor as the crown prince, he was full of spirit. He was quite dissatisfied with the clan, saying that the clan was good at eating, drinking and having fun, and that it was of no benefit to the country or the family... The clan was furious, and the two sides argued at the court."

King Wei just thought about it for a while, and couldn't help being fascinated, "This hero is also!"

"It's more than that." Concubine Shu saw a white hair on the top of his head, and pulled it out violently, "You have white hair at a young age."

She handed the towel to Yu Nan, sat down and said: "At that time, there were more than ten people in the clan, all of whom were eloquent, but they were speechless and sweaty when they refuted the emperor alone. It is said that the emperor and empress were overjoyed at that time." Sheng, said this is my unicorn."

King Wei said in a daze, "What a filial piety to the emperor."

Concubine Shu sighed, "Erlang, that seat is dangerous, Auntie only hopes that you will be safe."

King Wei stared, and rushed out with a fierce look, "Mother, that soft bastard who can even give his own woman to Aye, how can he be an emperor?"

"Shut up!" Concubine Shu scolded, with a worried look on her face.

King Wei said contemptuously: "Mother, why should you be afraid? That man spends all day studying in the palace, pretending to be a fool. How can he be a fool if he is a prince? Who doesn't know that he is forbearing and dormant?"

"Stop talking." Concubine Shu glared at him and ordered, "Take out the jewels I saved last year and wrap them up."

"Mother, I have money!" King Wei frowned deeply, "You have to spend money in the palace."

"What do I spend?" Concubine Shu smiled relaxedly, "Your Majesty loves the concubine, and will never go anywhere else. What do I use the money for? Bribe his servants? Just leave some for the people around you, and you take the rest." .”

King Wei looked at her, and there was a touch of tenderness in his fierce eyes, "Mother, you have to be good, and I will let you enjoy yourself later."

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Enjoy happiness? Am I enjoying happiness now?"

The mother and son talked about their recent situation, Concubine Shu asked: "What are you making trouble in the fief recently?"

King Wei frowned, "I want to go to northern Xinjiang to kill the enemy, but Aye doesn't allow it."

Concubine Shu squinted her eyes, it was as quiet as early spring, but full of vitality.

"Your Majesty is quite indifferent to the queen, and quite afraid of the prince... Although it is not appropriate for the prince to lead the army, but you are not a Jiedushi... But what I am worried about is that once many things come out, you will never be able to hide .”

King Wei sneered, "Mother, are you still afraid of this? Look at how the sons who honor the emperor are doing now. They are alive and shrinking like mice. If that person becomes the throne in the future, I'm afraid I won't even be able to survive."

Concubine Shu sighed, "The kinship of this clan! It gets weaker and weaker from generation to generation."

Later, King Wei begged to see the emperor again, but he didn't know what he said, but was thrown out by the emperor with a teacup.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Han Shitou stood outside the hall and said.

King Wei had tea all over his head and face, looking funny.

puff!
The waiter laughed.

"Funny?" King Wei walked over.

The servant's face was pale, "Slave..."

King Wei slapped cruelly away.

Snapped!
The servant rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

The emperor's roar came from the hall, "Get lost!"

King Wei shouted into the hall: "Aye, take care."

The emperor in the hall looked indifferent.

Like a god.

King Wei went out of the palace all the way.

"Your Majesty, the front is the King of Yue."

Li Ling, King of Yue, was the third son of the emperor and the second son of Empress Yang.However, there is the elder brother of the prince, and he is quite eye-catching as the prince born in the first place.Fortunately, King Yue's temperament was weak, so there were fewer disputes.

"Sauro!"

King Wei stopped.

King Yue was thin and pale, his eyes dodged a little, he cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the second brother."

King Wei sneered, "Your prince brother doesn't know how to take care of you, look, living is like a little transparent."

King Yue lowered his head weakly, and the servant behind him shouted: "King Wei said this, he is not afraid of the queen..."

Bah!
With just one punch, the servant flew out and hit the next step.As soon as he raised his head, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Who dares to make a fuss?" Wei Wang asked with a sinister smile, "I haven't returned to the palace for a long time, are you proud?"

"Second brother." King Yue's face became paler and paler, "He just didn't want to."

"Talk to your prince brother!" Wei Wang sneered, and roared at the top of his voice, "I am in Qianzhou. If I drive fast, I can reach Chang'an in a few days. But if I know who provoked my mother, I will not discuss it if I kill him." !"

King Yue lowered his head, and the sternness in his eyes flashed away.When he raised his head, he looked timid, "Second brother, no one dares."

King Wei didn't even look at him, and strode away.

Later, Concubine Shu got the news and couldn't help sighing.She was sitting on the edge of the window sill, and the spring rain was falling in front of her eyes.

Loneliness is like spring rain, sneaking in silently.

……

A small event that has a profound impact on the future happened in the palace of Chang'an, and Bei Jiang didn't feel it at all.

Yang Xuan is very busy.

"start running!"

On the school field, more than two thousand people were running wildly.

"How?" Yang Xuan asked.

Nan He praised: "Mr. Lang's method of training troops is astonishing as the past and the present."

Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "Lao Nan, flattery is not bad, but it's just exaggerated."

Nan He chuckled.

If you want to get promoted and raise your salary, flattering your boss is a shortcut, and Nan He is no exception.

"Lang Jun, the key now is the crossbow." Nan He bewildered, "Lang Jun, think about it, if a huge crossbow array is set up in the Taiping Army, how many people will die if the enemy army wants to approach our army array?"

"I think so too." As the boss, the subordinates feel that the equipment is lacking, so Yang Xuan has to find a way to find and buy it.But his boss is not only a part-time workshop director, but also the number one mechanic in the workshop, which is a bit outrageous!
"Where are the grain seeds?"

Yang Xuan thought of the ruthless man who got Shangguan's hand into the molten iron.

"I've met Mr. Lang." Gu Zhong was very respectful, if he didn't know the details of this guy, Yang Xuan would definitely think that this guy is as sincere as an old farmer.

"I want to get a knife." Yang Xuan said.

Gu Zhong felt that this request was a humiliation to himself, "Mr., the knife is just a trivial matter."

"But there are still many things to buy." Yang Xuan couldn't help having a splitting headache when he thought of the equipment needed to build weapons.

Nan He said indifferently: "Knife? Why does Mr. Lang need to build this. Just go to the state to ask for it."

There are still some stocks in Hengdao State.

"We only have one thousand soldiers in Taiping, where can we get weapons for the extra thousand?"

Not a good boss!

Yang Xuan ordered: "Look at Gu Zhong, find some craftsmen among the criminals, and let's make steel by ourselves."

Gu Zhong felt that the boss's thinking was a bit far-fetched, "Mingfu, the villain looks like they have seen them make steel, but they don't know how to do it."

Yang Xuan returned to the county.

"We must have a stable supply of iron ore. There is Wang's mine in northern Xinjiang. I will set off tomorrow to get some."

Cao Ying gave Yang Xuan a strange look.

Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "Old Cao, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Cao Ying said with a dry smile: "I heard that Mr. Wang has some friendship with that charming girl of the Wang family? I don't know where it is. If I am more kind, I think I can save a lot of money every year."

"Xiao Xuanzi, become a cowherd!"

Yang Xuan's face darkened, "It's just dewy friendship."

The old thief raised his eyebrows, "Lang Jun, let's go one step further."

What a bunch of beasts!
Yang Xuan swore that he only thought of Zhou Ning in Chang'an, and silently recited the word "affectionate" 36 times, successfully dispelling the idea of ​​selling himself for ore.

"It's not easy to smelt steel!" Cao Ying felt that the boss thought about it simply. "When we set fire to Chunyu's workshop at night, the old man remembered that those stoves and utensils were quite complicated. How about grain seeds?"

Yang Xuan shook his head.

Cao Ying smiled inwardly, and raised her eyebrows at Yiniang, implying that she would comfort Yang Xuan later, lest he be too impatient.

Yi Niang nodded and glanced at Zhang Siniang.

Zhang Siniang came in with tea, trembling slightly as she walked.

Not enough!
Yiniang felt that the scale was not enough, but she was relieved when she thought that there were outsiders here.

Later, let Si Niangzi shake the Lord alone.

As a man, when he is anxious, he needs a woman's gentleness to relieve him.

Yang Xuan took the tea and accidentally touched Zhang Siniang's hand.He was fine, but Zhang Siniang's complexion was blushing, and she was almost whimpering.

Great opportunity!

Yi Niang's eyes lit up, and she was about to disperse the group of light bulbs.

Yang Xuan sniffed the tea, "I will."

Cao Ying: "..."

"It's just to make some steel. When you waited to set fire to kill people, I went to see those furnaces. It's simple."

Cao Ying: "..."

Everyone exchanged glances.

The old thief murmured, "No wonder those people say they are man of destiny. I was so happy waiting for the murder and arson, but my husband went to see some stove. No wonder he is a man of destiny. Hey! This old man has more confidence in rebellion."

Suzaku's voice came from Yang Xuan's earphones.

"Small things."

……

Ask for a monthly ticket, a recommended ticket.
