Chapter 120 Prince Jing's Worries

Chapter 120 Prince Jing's Worries

In the calm of all the officials in the capital, Wei Zhan quietly left the capital to protect Emperor Chengwu, and began to go south for private visits.Emperor Cheng Wu went south this time to see the real situation in various capitals.More importantly, it is still necessary to thoroughly investigate how much money Zhu Tianxiang withheld last time.

Once Emperor Cheng Wu left, the huge capital was handed over to King Jing for supervision.Prince Jing had a pimple on his forehead, the emperor's tour was a major event, and he should sprinkle clean water on the ground to pave the road, accompanied by six ministers.He is such a good brother, he actually followed Zhu Tianxiang to learn the tricks of crossing the sea, and only led sixty Qinglong guards to pretend to be wealthy masters before leaving the capital.If the rebel Zhou Yantian knew about this, he would have desperately killed him halfway.

Regardless of the fact that there are so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, there is still Prince Jing sitting in charge.As soon as Emperor Chengwu dies, the world will be in chaos.Not to mention anything else, just a few princes can be beaten to death.

Early the next morning, Eunuch Wei shouted to all the officials in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty is in poor health and will not be able to go to court in the near future. If you have any important matters, you can ask Prince Jing for comment."

The civil and military officials were stunned. According to the past practice, even if the emperor is uncomfortable or lazy and does not want to go to court, it is only a day.Why is it that today's oral order is recently?Could it be that the emperor has not been in court these days.

"Director Wei, I'm still waiting for the emperor's approval on the matter of the military pay for the northern and southern camps, and I hope that General Manager Wei will let me know that I want to have an audience with the emperor alone." Li Hong, Minister of the Ministry of War, cupped his hands and said.

"Lord Li, didn't the emperor say in the edict that if you need anything, you can just ask Prince Jing." Eunuch Wei looked at Li Hong with a smile on his face.

Li Hong felt very strange, the emperor actually handed over such a big matter to King Jing for comment. Could it be that the dragon is seriously ill?Thinking of this, Li Hong looked at Prince Jing anxiously.

King Jing saw that none of the officials were leaving, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, brother is fine. Brother huang was overworked in the past few days, so this king suggests that brother huang should rest for a while and recover. Yuanshen." Prince Jing said, giving Li Hong a sneaky look.Li Hong and Prince Jing had known each other for many years, and immediately realized that something might be wrong.

"Since King Jing Qiansui said so, let's go back first." Li Hong helped Prince Jing smooth things over.

All the officials knew that it was really tiring for Emperor Chengwu to rectify the court during this period, and all civil and military officials didn't think about anything else.Hearing what Prince Jing and Li Hong said, they all left the court.

Prince Jing secretly asked someone to inform the two adults, Li Hong and Chu Yun, to go to his clan's mansion to have a talk.Prince Jing understood that his responsibility was heavy, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist alone, so he wanted to draw two allies.

When Chu Yun and Li Hong came to the clan mansion, Prince Jing was walking back and forth in a hurry.As soon as he saw the two people coming in, Prince Jing said with a bitter face and lowered his voice, "I said you two, this is going to be troublesome."

Before King Jing could finish speaking, Li Hong grabbed Prince Jing's arm, "What, the emperor~~!" Li Hong was nervous and didn't dare to continue speaking.In Li Hong's view, it must be that Emperor Chengwu was really sick, and it was still seriously ill.

Chu Yun also looked at Prince Jing in surprise. Could it be that the emperor is really seriously ill?If this is the case, then the Six Departments of the Third Academy must be quickly summoned to study the candidate for the crown prince immediately.This is not a joke, in case something happens to the emperor, a successor must be established in advance.Otherwise, Dafeng Dynasty will face a serious disaster.

Prince Jing looked outside the door, and said in a low voice, "Oh~ I can't do anything, I can't stop it at all, the emperor still left."

As soon as Li Hong heard this, his face turned pale, and he fell to his knees, "Your Majesty~ Damn you~ I didn't see you for the last time~ What will I do~!"

Chu Yun also beat his chest and stomped his back, as if his own father had died.Although the two were crying and howling, what Li Hong and Chu Yun were most worried about was the stability of the world.Emperor Cheng Wu's sudden 'departure' was tantamount to the loss of heaven for the Dafeng Dynasty, and it dealt a great blow to Li Hong and the two of them.

Li Hong and Chu Yun burst into tears, King Jing covered Li Hong's mouth in fright, wishing he could stuff their mouths with socks.Isn't this courting death, actually looking forward to the death of the emperor.

"You two are crazy, you want your house ransacked, don't you?" Prince Jing blushed, looking outside nervously.Fortunately, he just told his subordinates not to come in and disturb him.

"Prince Jing, when did the emperor leave?" Li Hong stopped crying and asked Prince Jing sobbingly.

"I left yesterday morning after court." Prince Jing replied casually.

"No, yesterday morning, the emperor looked good, didn't he? Could it be that someone poisoned him?" Chu Yun looked at Prince Jing in shock.

King Jing's brain was going to explode when he heard this, and he realized that the two ministers were wrong.

"Ah bah~! I said what are you two thinking? I mean that brother Huang went out of the city for a private visit, not that 'gone'. Grandma, are you two guys trying to frame me and be disrespectful?" Prince Jing He stared at Li Hong and Chu Yun with wide eyes.

Li Hong and Chu Yun were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other, only then did they understand what Prince Jing meant.The two quickly got up and slapped their knees.In an instant, the tears disappeared without a trace.

"I said Prince Jing, we don't bring such things, you almost scared us to death." Li Hong gave Prince Jing a dissatisfied look.

"Prince Jing, why didn't your majesty wait for the ward with me for a private visit? How many troops did you bring and where did you go?" Chu Yun asked quickly.

"This~!" King Jing thought for a while, "Oh~ I can't persuade you, the emperor only brought Wei Zhan and sixty Azure Dragon Guards. As for where to go, I don't know." Prince Jing didn't say anything. Even if Li Hong and Chu Yun were the destination of Emperor Wu, he had to be on guard.

"What should we do? Your Majesty is risking his life." Li Hong said while shaking his hands.

"I invited the two of you here to discuss how to keep this secret. It's best not to let others know about it. The longer you keep it secret, the safer your brother will be." Prince Jing looked at the two important ministers seriously.

"Prince Jing, do you want to send troops to scout around? Once you find out the whereabouts of the emperor, immediately send soldiers and horses to quietly follow him." Chu Yun looked at King Jing and made his own suggestion.

Prince Jing shook his head, "Since the emperor doesn't want anyone to protect him, it might be safer to go in secret. What I am worried about is that the news will be exposed too early, and the traitor Zhou Yantian will be prepared."

"Prince Jing, did the emperor say how long it will take to return to Beijing?" Li Hong asked.

Prince Jing shook his head, "It's hard to say, it can be as little as ten days and a half month, or as long as one or two months."

Upon hearing this, Li Hong sighed and shook his head.If it's ten days or so, it's easy to handle. For such a long time, I can't hide it even if I want to.

After deliberation, the three of them finally reached an agreement to try their best to conceal the whereabouts of Emperor Cheng Wu, and they could keep it a day.If you really can't hide it, there's no way.

When Prince Jing returned to the mansion, there was another important matter that had been on his mind for the past two days.That was the purpose of Emperor Cheng Wu's private visit in his incognito service, and he did not hide it from Prince Jing.From Emperor Cheng Wu's point of view, Prince Jing was his own younger brother after all, so it was impossible for him to leak the news.Furthermore, if Prince Jing did not tell the actual situation, Prince Jing would not allow Emperor Chengwu to leave the capital.However, Emperor Cheng Wu did not expect that Zhu Tianjiang and Li Yu'er already had a physical relationship, and Prince Jing had long regarded Zhu Tianjiang as his son.

King Jing came to Yugege's small courtyard with his hands behind his back, and the maids saw King Jing coming in, so they hurried forward to greet him.

Prince Jing nodded slightly, "What is Yu'er doing?"

"My lord, Gege is painting in the study." A maid replied.

King Jing waved his hand, telling everyone to step back, and walked towards Yugege's study.When he came to the door, Prince Jing coughed first, and then walked into the study.

"Daddy, why are you here?" Yugege quickly put down the pen in her hand, and ran over with a smile.

"Yu'er, that bastard from heaven, has he written to you recently?" Prince Jing said, sitting beside the tea table.

Yugege blushed and nodded slightly, "Yes."

Seeing his daughter's shy and happy appearance, Prince Jing gritted his teeth, thinking that this time he would be sorry for his brother.

"Yu'er, Daddy knows that you communicate with that brat Tianxiang through a secret channel, so you have to tell him something quickly." Prince Jing said, looking outside worriedly.

"Father, don't be prejudiced against Tianxiang. He has done so many things for Dafeng, which official can compare to him." Hearing that Prince Jing called Tianxiang a 'stinky boy', Yu looked at Prince Jing with dissatisfaction.

"This kid has done a lot of good things, but also a lot of bad things. If it wasn't for your face this time, that kid would definitely be taken down when he returns to the capital." Prince Jing said seriously.

"Ah~ what's wrong with him?" Yugege hurriedly grabbed his father's arm in fright.

"You are not allowed to spread this matter, only let Zhu Tianjiang know about it." Prince Jing said, and told his daughter about Emperor Cheng Wu's secret trip to Shu Tianfu.

Li Yu'er is ice-snow smart, she knows best how much money Zhu Tianjiang has hidden.As soon as he heard that Uncle Huang had secretly gone to Sichuan, he immediately understood what consequences Zhu Tianxiang was facing.

Although Emperor Chengwu had noticed that Zhu Tianxiang had withheld a part of Zhou Dazhong's silver, he didn't know how much.Li Yu'er understood that once Emperor Cheng Wu knew the exact amount, he might be able to kill Zhu Tianjiang on the spot in anger.

Yugege didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to Zhu Tianxiang's mansion to look for Lin Feng.Zhu Tianxiang wrote letters to Yugege and Guo Ying during these days, but they were all forwarded by people in Zhu's house.Yu Gege didn't reply to Zhu Tianjiang, so it's not clear whether the information channel established by Zhu Er can quickly pass it on to Zhu Tianjiang.

Outside the Qinzhou Mansion, Zhu Tianjiang watched the officers and soldiers escort the silver to the capital with his own eyes, and then bid farewell to Qinzhou Mansion Yin Xu Qian, and took his troops to Liangdu to join the Fourth Prince.

After settling the disaster victims in Hedu, what Zhu Tianjiang has to do now is to run to various government offices to extort money.After the suppression of corruption in the capital, plus the money from Pengcheng and Qinzhou, the amount Zhu Tianxiang raised for the Dafeng Dynasty had already reached half of what he had agreed with Emperor Chengwu.Zhu Tianjiang wasn't worried about the remaining half of the silver taels.These officials of the Dafeng Dynasty are more corrupt than the capital, and they will only be more and not less than the capital.

Zhu Si led five hundred soldiers and horses, still pretending to be a caravan to explore the way ahead.Zhu Tianxiang took dozens of guards with him, and he had just left for less than three days when he received a secret letter from the imperial court.This secret letter first arrived at the camp of the Fourth Prince of Liangdu, and then passed through Zhu Er's secret son before being transferred to Zhu Tianxiang's hands.Seeing that it was Emperor Cheng Wu who ordered him to go to Shutian to supervise the establishment of the military station, Zhu Tianxiang didn't think much about it, and just happened to go there to visit Zhu San and his brothers.

Zhu Tianjiang began to divert to Shutian, and asked Zhu Er to inform Xuanzhu to meet him in Shutian.Unexpectedly, the day after Zhu Tianxiang received the secret order, he also received an urgent secret letter from Lin Feng.

After reading the confidential letter that Lin Feng gave him, Zhu Tianxiang couldn't sit still.

"Zhu Er, quickly inform Zhu San that all the Zhu Ji Bank buildings along the way from the capital to Shutian have all declared bankruptcy. Tell Zhu San, quickly transfer most of the silver from Shutian and Zhongdu." Zhu Tianxiang urgently issued an order.

"My lord, what happened?" Zhu Yi and the others hurriedly gathered in front of the car.

"I'm paralyzed, it seems that news about the disaster relief money leaked out. Emperor Chengwu actually made a private visit in secret, and went to Shutian to catch Lao Tzu's evidence. Zhu Yi, tell all the brothers to go at full speed."

Zhu Tianjiang immediately ordered his people to speed up, originally he was moving forward at a leisurely pace, but now he rushed to Shutian regardless of day and night.Zhu Tianjiang wanted to set up a big show before Emperor Cheng Wu arrived, if the show was not performed well, I'm afraid Zhu Daguan wouldn't even be able to go back to the capital.
