The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In Chu Wang's mansion, Chu Wang took Zhao Yao's hand and repeatedly told him to be careful and pay attention to safety when he was outside.

Seeing that King Chu was so worried about him, Zhao Yao was naturally very moved.However, he always felt that the fourth brother treated him like a three-year-old child.

"Fourth brother, I'm going to visit Mr. Meng, not to fight in the south of the Yangtze River, so you don't have to worry about me so much." The fourth brother's posture is as if he is going to the battlefield. "Also, fourth brother, I'm 12 years old. I'm not a three-year-old kid, and I don't know everything. You don't have to be so nervous about me." He felt that fourth brother was not as nervous as he is now when he went to fight in Sichuan Worry.

"You have never traveled far. This is the first time you have traveled far. I don't trust you." If possible, King Chu would like to accompany Zhao Yao to Jiangnan to visit Mr. Meng.

"Although this is the first time I have traveled far away, fourth brother, you have made arrangements for me, so what are you worried about?" Zhao Yao deliberately said in a strange tone, "fourth brother, I am an adult. Don't worry, you're not a child anymore."

Chu Wang was amused by Zhao Yao's tone of voice, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head: "In the eyes of the fourth brother, you are just a child." Although Zhao Yao is 12 years old this year, in the heart of His Highness Chu Wang , he is no different from his son of a few years old.

Zhao Yao was afraid that the King of Chu would order some more things, so he quickly changed the subject: "Fourth brother, do you have a letter for Mr. Meng, and I can take it for you?"

King Chu was successfully distracted and said: "Yes, I will bring it to you now." King Chu took out a letter from the desk drawer and handed it to Zhao Yao, "Help me pass this letter to Mr. Meng gentlemen."

Zhao Yao took the letter and put it in his arms without reading it.Then, he patted himself on the chest, and assured King Chu: "Don't worry, fourth brother, I will deliver it to you besides this letter and the medicinal materials you gave to Mr. Meng." The main purpose of Jiangnan is to visit Mr. Meng instead of the emperor. The court ministers and princes naturally want to send some medicinal materials or supplements to Mr. Meng to express their feelings.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is an entire official ship full of things for Mr. Meng.Of course, it is basically medicinal materials and supplements.

King Chu knew that Zhao Yao was going to say goodbye to King Wei, so he didn't say anything more, but told Zhao Yao not to forget to write to him.

After saying goodbye to King Chu, Zhao Yao went to King Wei's mansion.Wei Wang's Mansion is not far from Chu Wang's Mansion, just a short walk away.

Yu Hai had been waiting for Zhao Yao at the gate of Prince Wei's mansion.Seeing that Zhao Yao finally came, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome Zhao Yao into the mansion.

King Wei had been waiting for a long time, seeing that Zhao Yao came so late, he felt a little bit disgusted.

"What did you say to the fourth child, what have you said for so long?"

Hearing this sour tone, Zhao Yao laughed very loudly in his heart.Of course, he didn't dare to face it.He said very seriously: "My fourth brother treats me like a three-year-old child, and talks a lot about it."

King Wei mocked unceremoniously: "He is the mother-in-law."

"Brother, then you will definitely not nag like the fourth brother."

King Wei, who was just about to make a long speech, was choked by Zhao Yao's words.He was stunned for a while, then raised his hand and slapped the tenth brother on the head, and said angrily: "I haven't said anything yet, you think I'm nagging."

"No, myna, you're definitely not long-winded." Zhao Yao's expression looked innocent and well-behaved.

King Wei didn't know Zhao Yao's careful thinking, he smiled helplessly, and immediately took out something from his arms, and handed it to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao reached out to take it and found an iron token.The whole body of the token is pitch black, with a character "八" engraved on the front, and intricate and beautiful patterns engraved on the edge.This pattern looks like a certain kind of flower, but he doesn't know what kind of flower it looks like, after all, he doesn't have much research on flowers.

"Brother, what token is this?"

"This is a token customized for me by my elder brother. With this token, you can seek help in some big pharmacies, cloth shops, inns, banks, and pawnshops in the south of the Yangtze River. help you."

After Zhao Yao heard this, he was taken aback, widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide and said, "This...is the token so powerful?!" I'm afraid that the token was not given to the myna by the prince's brother, but myna's own.The pharmacies and cloth houses mentioned by myna are probably owned by people from the Southern Wei Dynasty.Unexpectedly, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty still had so many industries in the south of the Yangtze River.From this point of view, people from the Southern Wei Dynasty have completely penetrated into the south of the Yangtze River.Sure enough, the Southern Wei people should not be underestimated!
"Don't lose this token." Wei Wang said very seriously, "This token is very useful, you should hold it carefully."

Zhao Yao nodded obediently, and immediately put the token preciously into his arms.

"Myna, don't worry, I'm here if the card is there, and I'm not here if the card isn't..."

Before the words were finished, Zhao Yao's forehead was slapped.King Wei deliberately said with a tiger face: "What nonsense. Although this token is important, it is not as important as you."

"Hey hey, I was just joking."

King Wei looked at Zhao Yao helplessly, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help exhorting him a few words.

Although King Wei's exhortation was the same as what King Chu said, Zhao Yao didn't dislike it, and listened carefully.

Seeing that it was getting late, King Wei didn't keep Zhao Yao for dinner.

As soon as Zhao Yao returned to the palace, he was called to the East Nuan Pavilion of Chengguang Palace.

The emperor was busy, and when he saw Zhao Yao came back, he asked him to have dinner with him.

During dinner, the emperor also said something.

Zhao Yao didn't ask the emperor about the imperial examination.Since the matter of the imperial examination was brought up, the whole capital has become very lively, and everyone is talking about it.Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace were quietly discussing this matter.Before the county examination starts, the sensation caused by the imperial examination will not subside for the time being.When the county exam starts, there will be another wave.It is estimated that there will be no peace until the end of the children's test.

"Stinky boy, don't be brave if you saw or encountered something in Jiangnan." The emperor said, "Write to me, and I will arrange someone to do it."

Zhao Yao felt that something was wrong with the emperor's words.He frowned slightly, and said, "Father, what you said, I will definitely encounter something when I go to Jiangnan this time, and it's not a trivial matter." What's wrong with Jiangnan? Moth?
"Yangzhou is fine, but there are some matters in Jinling and Suzhou." The emperor didn't intend to tell Zhao Yao the details of these two places. "You go to Jinling and pay a good visit to Mr. Meng. Don't get involved in other matters."

Zhao Yao thought to himself that he was not a nosy person, nor was he a person who would yell when he saw injustice.

"I'm not that free." He was very busy and had no time to do other things.Even if he is not busy, he will not take the initiative to do something.

The emperor still had things to do, so he didn't say anything to Zhao Yao, and waved to him, indicating that he could step down.

Zhao Yao originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.He bowed to the emperor, and immediately exited Dongnuan Pavilion.

Back at Xingde Palace, Zhao Yao checked his luggage again, and after confirming that it was correct, he washed up and went to sleep.

The next day, at dawn, Zhao Yao was woken up by Tong Xi.After washing up, he went to Kunde Hall to have breakfast with Concubine Liang and the others.

Meiren Yu and the others worried Zhao Yao and asked him to take them on the way to eat.

After breakfast, Zhao Yao went out of the palace to the pier.As for the emperor, he was still in court, so Zhao Yao couldn't go to say goodbye to him.

He didn't go to see He Lianfang, but went directly to the pier.Liang Run and his four conspicuous Bao brothers were already waiting for him at the pier.

Seeing Zhao Yao coming, Song Jicai and the four hurried over.

This time when Zhao Yao went to Jiangnan, he specially took Zhang He and the four of them with him.He originally thought that General Zhang and the others would not agree, but he didn't expect them to agree, and they were very happy to pack them up and send them here.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the official ship carried by Zhao Yao and the others departed.

King Chu and King Wei were still in court, and they couldn't even send Zhao Yao off in person.At this time, they were a little distracted in the court, because they knew that Zhao Yao had already boarded the boat and left the capital at this time.

When Zhao Yao went to Jiangnan this time, the person who worried him most was not the emperor, but the kings of Chu and Wei.They were still very reluctant, especially for King Wei, this was the first time Zhao Yao had been separated from him for a long time, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Yao and his four conspicuous Bao brothers who boarded the boat felt that the boat was very fresh, and a group of people walked around the boat holding hands.

After shopping, a few people sat on the deck basking in the sun, blowing the river breeze, very comfortable.

Starting from the capital to go to the south of the Yangtze River, you need to pass through several rivers. After all, Dazhou does not have the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal like the world of Zhao Yao in his dream.If there is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it will be very convenient to take a boat from the capital to Jiangnan.

Regarding the digging and construction of the canal, the emperor had this plan a few years ago.However, because he was too poor at the time, he could only temporarily put this matter aside.Now that the treasury has money, the emperor plans to dig and build canals in the next two years, as well as repair other river courses, especially the Yellow River and several rivers near it.

The Yellow River has been a gold-swallowing beast since ancient times. As long as there is a flood, the nearby cities will be submerged, and a large area will be flooded, displacing tens of thousands of people.No matter which dynasty it is, it has spent a lot of money on the construction of the Yellow River.

When Dazhou was first established, it spent a lot of money to build and strengthen the dams of the Yellow River.This made Huang He honest for more than ten or twenty years.

The Yellow River cannot be well-behaved forever, and the dams built before cannot always withstand the power of the Yellow River.The emperor had the final say, the dams of the Yellow River needed to be rebuilt, otherwise the Yellow River would get angry again.

Originally, the emperor planned to start digging and building canals this year, but after Zhao Yao proposed the imperial examination, the emperor could only hold the imperial examination first, and then dig and build canals and repair other rivers.

After leaving the capital city and their parents, Zhao Yao and the others originally planned to play wild like wild horses that had run off their reins, but in the afternoon, the four conspicuous people became seasick and vomited faintly.

The four conspicuous bags always thought that they would not get seasick, and insisted not to take seasickness medicine before boarding the boat, but they got seasick, and the seasickness was very severe.

The four good brothers got seasick and were only breathless, and Zhao Yao couldn't play anymore.

Zhao Yao thought that they would go to sea in the future, it is not good for the four good brothers to be so seasick.He advised the four of them to get used to seasickness.If you still get seasick when you arrive in Jinling, take the boat a few more times until you don’t get seasick.

Four conspicuous bags of seasickness: "..." Just kill them.

After talking with the four conspicuous Bao brothers for a while, Zhao Yao returned to his room and began to eat the whole fish feast.Sitting on the boat is the most convenient way to eat fish, and it is freshly caught.Boiled fish slices, pickled fish, sweet and sour fish, crucian carp soup, and grilled fish are really delicious.

After dinner, Zhao Yao began to write letters to He Lianfang.He promised to write to He Lianfang every day.

Xiao Jin was a little reluctant, until Zhao Yao took out a fish for it, and then it obediently delivered the letter.

In the next few days, Song Jicai and the four of them finally recovered from seasickness.

Because they were worried about Mr. Meng's health, Zhao Yao and the others didn't waste too much time on the way to Jinling. However, they would stop by the shore every few days to buy some things on the shore.At this time, Zhao Yao and Song Jicai will go ashore to play for a while.

Since the docking time was not long each time, Zhao Yao and the others walked around the pier and did not go deep into the city to play.

It was night, Zhao Yao and the others were sitting on the deck admiring the moon and the scenery on the river at night.

Shen Sen suddenly asked: "Boss, have we reached the boundary of Jiangnan?"

"It's here this morning, and we will arrive at Jinling in a few days." Zhao Yao misunderstood Shen Sen's meaning, thinking that he was impatient with the boat, "You can bear it for a few more days."

"Boss, I didn't mean that." Shen Sen looked at the river again, his expression became strange, "Boss, didn't you realize that there are only a few of our boats on the river now?" Before they reached the river in the south of the Yangtze River, they I can meet many boats at night and at night, but after arriving at the Jiangnan River today, I encountered some boats during the day, but I couldn’t see a single boat at night, which is too strange. "Is there a curfew on the river in the south of the Yangtze River at night, and boats are not allowed at night?"

Chu Huan said: "It should be impossible. Maybe the officials in Jiangnan knew that the boss was coming to Jinling to visit Mr. Meng, and they were afraid that they would bump into the boss, so they banned the boat from sailing at night."

"Ah, is that so?" Shen Sen expressed disbelief, "Then why didn't the officials from Jiangnan come to visit the boss during the day?"

Zhang He said angrily: "These officials in Jiangnan didn't pay attention to the prince, the boss. They are really too arrogant."

Song Jicai was also full of displeasure: "These officials look down on people."

Zhao Yao looked at Shen Sen in surprise: "Wu Mu, I didn't expect you to be so sharp."

Hearing this, Shen Sen immediately showed some excitement on his face.He lowered his voice and said, "Boss, it's really weird, isn't it?"

Zhao Yao nodded slightly and said, "Well, since we entered the Jiangnan River this morning, someone has been secretly watching us." There were more than one group of people staring at them.Among them must be the people of the second uncle and mynah, and their people are secretly protecting them.The other groups of people were obviously guarding against them.

There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and water transportation is well developed.Whether it is daytime or night, there will be many boats on the river. It is impossible that there are no other boats except their boats like now.

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Song Jicai's and the others' expressions changed instantly, and each of them showed vigilance.

Chu Huan hurriedly asked, "Boss, what's going on?"

Zhao Yao glanced around, and said in a meaningful tone: "It's no wonder that before I left, my father and fourth brother repeatedly told me not to act recklessly, let alone meddle in other people's business. Now it seems that there are many things hidden in Jiangnan. "

Shen Sen asked worriedly, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Zhang He asked nervously, "Boss, are we not in danger?"

"Go back to the room first." It's not safe to talk about things on the deck.

Song Jicai and the others hurriedly followed Zhao Yao back to the room.Zhao Yao asked Tong Xi to guard at the door.

Seeing that Shen Sen and the others looked uneasy, Zhao Yao smiled reassuringly at them: "We will not be in danger, of course the prerequisite is that we have not found anything."

Song Jicai who said this was a little confused: "Boss, what do you mean?"

Zhao Yao tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand, and said with a thoughtful expression: "I guess the people staring at us should be the prince and the acting king."

Shen Sen exclaimed in a low voice: "The prince and the person acting as the king?"

Chu Huan is the smartest of the four of them.After hearing what Zhao Yao said, he immediately thought of something.

"Boss, the crown prince and Dai Wang have done some unspeakable things in Jiangnan, right?"

As soon as he said this, Zhang He and the others were so frightened that their faces changed drastically.

Zhao Yao said calmly: "Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times. It is normal for the prince and Daiwang to make money in Jiangnan. In order to make money, it is natural to do some things that cannot be known by outsiders." However, the prince and Daiwang wanted to make money in Jiangnan. Isn't it a little too cautious.If he came to the south of the Yangtze River as an idiot prince, he would definitely not find out what they did.

Chu Huan and the others were shocked: "Boss, what should we do?"

"Pretend you don't know anything, you haven't found anything." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Besides, we really didn't find anything."

Chu Huan asked: "Boss, don't we investigate?"

"We don't need to investigate." Zhao Yao said, "Father should know, otherwise he wouldn't tell me not to be brave."

Song Jicai and the others conjured up a big drama.Everyone's face was full of shock.

"Boss, why do I feel that our coming to Jiangnan this time will not be peaceful?"

"As long as we don't do unnecessary things, we'll be fine." Zhao Yao could probably guess what the crown prince and Dai Wang were doing in Jiangnan, but he didn't intend to intervene. "There are only two purposes for us to come to Jiangnan. One is to visit Mr. Meng, and the other is to play. Don't worry about other things."

"Listen to the boss." With the boss around, they don't need to be afraid.

Zhao Yao didn't talk about it anymore, and started playing Monopoly with the four brothers.

Fearing that the boat ride would be boring, Zhao Yao made a lot of fun things before departure, such as the Monopoly game, checkers, and building blocks.

After playing for a while, Song Jicai and the others went back to their room to rest.

After Zhao Yao finished washing, he lay on the bed, instead of rushing to sleep, he called out to the dark room, "Is the dark guard here?"

Soon, someone in the darkness responded to him.

"The minister is here."

Zhao Yao didn't face the direction of the voice from the dark guard, and asked, "Is it the prince and the generation of the king?"

This question sounds endless, but the dark guard understood what Zhao Yao meant.

"Yes."

He added: "They were worried that the imperial guards would find something unusual, so they ordered that they were not allowed to leave the ship at night."

After hearing this, Zhao Yao sighed, "It really is like this." He asked the dark guard again, "What are they doing on the river?"

The dark guard replied respectfully, "I can do anything."

During this period of time, I always suffered from insomnia and couldn't sleep well. During the day, my mental state was not good. Coupled with the hot weather, I was very uncomfortable.

In the end, I was eagerly begging for a monthly ticket!Ask for a reward!Please leave a message! ! !
