Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 320 Good Boy (please subscribe)
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year!

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the official seal of the day was announced, indicating that the court would be officially closed this year.

Except for the remaining officials, the cabinet and ministries became empty and deserted.

Currently, he is still in charge of the Daming Palace and has no intention of going directly to the inner palace to rest.

As the central leader of the Daqian Empire, there is no such thing as a break.

He must be involved in the New Year's Eve palace banquet. If anything goes wrong, it will be his and the royal family's face that will be lost. He cannot ignore it at all.

He even had to carefully read the invited guest list.

The main reason is that he has mobility indicators and must be added directly. This is a great opportunity to show the emperor's grace.

After doing this, more than an hour has passed.

"Your Majesty, is it time to eat?"

Dai Quan, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, looked at the time and carefully reminded: "It's dinner time!"

"Oh, let's pass on the food then!"

Now he waved his hand, and he had never had high requirements for food.

I don’t have any special hobbies for so-called food.

Soon, the eunuchs and maids from the imperial dining room brought food boxes filled with food.

There was only one bowl of rice and ten dishes in total, which was far inferior to the pomp of the old lady of Rong Mansion.

Moreover, the portions of the meals are very small, only warm, and the smell is not that strong, so as to avoid any weirdness seeping in, and they have been tested for poisons early on.

The meal didn't last long. After the eunuchs and maids took away the leftovers, they were now engaged in new work.

Soon, Dai Quan led a powerful man over.

It was the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Mansion who was extremely feared by all the officials in the capital.

"Your Majesty, I have already investigated the situation with Prince Zhongshun!"

"Oh, tell me, what has this guy been busy with in the past year?"

Now that he is interested, his face becomes serious.

Just kidding, how could the Daqian Dynasty, which was at its peak, not be aware of Prince Zhongshun's small actions in the sea? They just didn't know the specific purpose.

In addition, it was only in the past two years that he began to aggressively gather power, and he didn't have much energy to pay attention to other things at the same time, otherwise Prince Zhongshun would have been exposed long ago.

Speaking of which, it is also depressing now that Jinyi Mansion was not completely under control until the middle of this year.

It was also when Jinyi Mansion was completely under control that I saw this piece of information among the many messages.

The commander of Jinyi Mansion did not dare to neglect and reported to Jinjian immediately.

Nowadays, naturally, they attach great importance to it and require the elites of Jinyiwei Mansion to investigate with all their strength, but they cannot alarm Prince Zhongshun.

Naturally, he is very wary of his younger brothers now, especially before the emperor has completely burped, so he cannot be too cautious.

Speaking of the emperor, it is quite a headache today!
During the battle to depose the crown prince more than twenty years ago, the emperor was so stimulated that he fainted and almost died. From that time on, there were constant rumors in the palace that the Emperor was in poor health.

But the Supreme Emperor's body was quite strong in the past twenty years, and he had a firm grip on power, which made him miserable today.

That is to say, in the past two years, the emperor has indeed become older and has become seriously ill, so he has slowly transferred power.

The most dangerous thing was the serious illness last year, which almost killed me.

Not only today, but also the courtiers are ready to hold a grand national funeral.

As a result, the Supreme Emperor wandered back from the gate of the underworld with quite tenacious vitality.

Naturally, his body and bones are not as good as before, but his spirit is still quite good. He quickly lost the power in his hands in the duel with the present, but he still firmly controls most of the military power in the Beijing camp.

Although he is unhappy now, he has not learned from Tang Taizong Li Er's ideas. His reputation is too bad.

Anyway, he is just forty now and is in the prime of life. It's not a big deal to wait a few more years.

There are just some things that are naturally easy to overlook or omit when power is transferred.

For this reason, as long as the Supreme Emperor lives for one day and there is no clear evidence of rebellion, it is not easy to deal with the many younger brothers today. On the contrary, it is necessary to create an atmosphere of brotherhood, friendship and respect.

No matter whether you can deceive outsiders or not, at least you can make it look like it.

As a result, in the middle of the year, I suddenly heard the news that Prince Zhongshun was making small moves in private.

Naturally, Jin was quite angry at first, but when he calmed down and asked carefully, he realized something was wrong.

Although the Prince of Zhongshun County mobilized a large amount of materials, money and food, it did not play the old tricks of rebellion.

It's not normal to recruit young refugees and stockpile weapons in private, but to transport all the amazing materials raised to the open sea.

Regarding Prince Zhongshun, he is naturally vigilant enough now!

Although this person has been working hard to get closer to today, and has a certain amount of authority, how can he really feel at ease today?

I have always kept in mind Prince Zhongshun's little actions.

Now that I have finally heard reliable news, how could I not take it seriously?
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun spent a lot of money to seize a large island off the coast of Goryeo. It is said that the area is equivalent to a county in the Central Plains!"

The commander of the Jinyi Mansion reported: "The large amount of money, materials and manpower raised by the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion were all transported by sea to that island for development and construction!"

Today's face is full of shock. I didn't expect Prince Zhongshun to play so big?
I feel a little unhappy in my heart. This is a great thing to open up new territories, but Prince Zhongshun has been hiding it. What is he trying to do?
"How do you know this so clearly?"

Jin Jin quickly reacted, with sharp eyes and a serious tone, asking the commander of Jinyi Mansion to give an explanation.

"Your Majesty, I heard the matter from Rong Mansion, it's quite detailed!"

The commander of Jinyi Mansion looked horrified and hurriedly replied: "This matter is not a secret in Rong Mansion!"

"Why are you in contact with Rong Mansion again?"

Now he said displeasedly: "The relationship between Rong Mansion and Prince Zhongshun Mansion is very bad!"

"it is true!"

The commander of the Jinyi Mansion hurriedly explained: "The main reason is that Jia Huan, the second wife of the Rong Mansion, somehow got in touch with Prince Zhongshun and jointly developed a large offshore island!"

"I heard that in order to bind Jia Huan, Prince Zhongshun directly gave Jia Huan a territory the size of a town, and asked Jia Huan to spend his efforts on management and development!"

"How generous!"

There is a sneer on his face now, but he is quite unhappy in his heart.

Damn it, doesn’t Zhongshun know how many brothers he has?
How many more nephews need to be arranged?
A territory at the township level was at least a township fiefdom in the Han Dynasty. "Then can you find out why Zhongshun is so generous?"

After calming down the anger in his heart, he continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Rong Mansion that King Zhongshun is looking for island territory in the outer sea. It was instigated by Jia Huan of Rong Mansion!"

The commander of Jinyi Mansion hurriedly replied: "It is rumored that when Jia Huan was reading historical books, he discovered some unclaimed land outside the sea, and then he began to encourage Prince Zhongshun to seize it!"

"Why Zhongshun?"

Now he was puzzled: "Jia Huan, this kid, seems to have directly slapped Zhongshun in the face, right?"

"Your Majesty, the news from Rong Mansion is that Jia Huan felt that Rong Mansion was not strong enough, and he could not mobilize the resources of Rong Mansion, so he found Prince Zhongshun!"

"Zhongshun agreed so simply?"

Still confused, he shook his head and said, "It's impossible!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Chungshun opened the Goryeo offshore trade route with great fanfare, just to find the island called Jeju Island, and supplement his money and food consumption through overseas trade!"

"I see!"

It's a bit embarrassing now that he did forcefully pick peaches after all.

"In other words, Zhongshun found the offshore island and occupied it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the price paid by the Zhongshun County Prince's Palace this year has exceeded one million taels of silver!"

"It's really hard to give up!"

Jin Jin sneered: "You don't even know how to report such a big thing in advance?"

The commander of the Jinyi Mansion below remained silent, but felt funny in his heart.

Why are people on guard against you? Don’t you have some idea?
Of course, no matter how much courage he had, he wouldn't dare to show it on his face.

Although he is not a domineering master today, he is still quite cruel and ruthless when dealing with dishonest henchmen, otherwise the throne will not be secure.

"Did you find out clearly?"

Today, he asked directly: "What is the purpose of Zhongshun's troubles in the open sea?"

"Prince Zhongshun wants to establish a vassal state in the outer sea!"

The commander of the Jinyi Mansion lowered his head very low and answered carefully: "It's still a rumor from the Rong Mansion. Instead of staying in Daqian Wudai and becoming a commoner, it's better to go to the open sea and fight hard!"

"Sealing a vassal state and establishing a country?"

Now his heart was shocked, and he sneered: "He has a beautiful idea!"

He was quite disdainful in his heart. As long as he disagreed, Prince Zhongshun would be waiting for a lot of resources to be wasted, right?

"Anymore?"

Seeing that the commander of the Jinyi Mansion had no intention of leaving, he asked directly now: "What information has been discovered, just tell me!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun intends to obtain the recognition of Daqian in the name of the foreign vassal!"

The commander of the Jinyi Mansion said cautiously: "Just like our vassal state of Daqian, we don't directly ask for a royal title from within Daqian!"

Obviously, I have misunderstood the meaning of his words, so I naturally have to explain clearly.

Otherwise, if something happens due to this incident later, he will never be able to run away and take the blame.

Is it so easy to take the blame for the emperor? I'm afraid it won't cost anyone.

"In addition, looking at the actions of Jia Huan of Rongfu and Prince Zhongshun, it seems that they will make big moves next year and have already begun to prepare for the early stage of food and grass supplies!"

"Bigger action, what do you mean?"

I'm a little confused now, and I don't blame him for that.

As the emperor of the Central Plains, Daqian's own national power and military power were not considered tyrannical.

There is no way to have as many vassal states as the Han, Tang and even the Ming dynasty, so they don't care much about the affairs of the outside world, and they are in a state of turning a blind eye to the situation in the outside world.

That is to say, to know which of the countries and forces around Daqian can threaten the peace of Daqian's borders, that's all.

As for more information, neither the Ministry of Rites nor Honglu Temple know it, and the current emperor is even less likely to know it, so the ideas are relatively limited.

If it were a competition in China, my mind would definitely be much more active now!
"It's still a rumor from Rong Mansion. By carefully reading those historical books, Jia Huan knows about the rest of the unclaimed areas outside the sea and wants to occupy them as his own territory!"

When he said this, the commander of Jinyi Mansion was also very envious.

It would be great if he could join in and let the family own a small territory in the outer sea.

As the head of intelligence, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Mansion, although he has great reputation and high authority, is also extremely dangerous.

His status can be regarded as a retainer of the emperor, and he can clearly understand what it means to "accompany the emperor like a tiger"!
Sometimes the situation is even worse than that of ordinary courtiers, it is not an exaggeration at all!
If the current emperor becomes suspicious of him, or doesn't trust him, he will be in bad luck, or even die.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved!
To be honest, he has also investigated that boy Jia Huan, and he definitely belongs to the monster type.

At a young age, he established a powerful Jianghu organization like Ningrong Street Hall, and weaved a quite powerful interest network with the help of Rongfu's name.

In other words, with the strength of Ningrong Street Hall, even if the government wants to extinguish it, at least a few teeth will have to be lost to do so, and there will even be huge hidden dangers.

Even at a young age, Jia Huan shows a bit of heroic demeanor, which is quite extraordinary!

According to the investigation, this guy's martial arts skills are quite impressive. No one knows what level his martial arts skills have reached yet.

The martial arts masters at the entrance of Ningrong Street are all respectfully called "Martial Arts Master" in private!
If that were the case, it would be too terrible.

As the commander of Jinyi Mansion, he is very aware of the destructive power a martial arts master can cause.

Don't think it's an exaggeration. Think about Yuan Chengzhi's pig's feet in "Blue Blood Sword". If he is willing to participate in the world's struggle for hegemony, he will definitely have the strength to become a ten thousand enemy on the battlefield!
He had been somewhat negligent before. How could such a smart and capable being speak openly and openly about the exploration and development of the outer seas in Rong Mansion?
As a descendant of the Rongfu family, don't you know what the children of the Rongfu family are like?

Obviously, Jia Huan must know, which means he did it intentionally!
As for the purpose?

The commander of the Jinyi Mansion quickly reacted. Wasn't it just for a well-informed and powerful court boss like him to know?
good boy!
Is this the plan to go fishing with Jiang Taigong? Whoever wants to take the bait?

I have to say that this move was quite powerful, at least the commander of Jinyi Mansion was really moved at this time.

He really wanted the family members to participate. Even if he couldn't get a piece of territory in the outer sea, he could at least get a safe place to stay.

Even if something unexpected happens in the future, it won’t bring bad luck to the entire family!

Come to think of it, that kid Jia Huan has put in so much effort, and he will definitely not give him the face of being the commander of the Jinyi Mansion!
