Chapter 57

The emperor left with satisfaction.

The secrets, depression and worries that have been buried deep in his heart for the past few days have been talked about, which has made him feel constipated for a week and finally got a sense of pleasure as if he had been on a large size.

But as the object of being confided, Zhu Jinxuan, the Princess Xianyou, is obviously far from as comfortable as her own emperor brother.

Although she did know something about the Ning Prince's Mansion as early as when she was in Hongdu Mansion, Wang Tianyu, who was caught by Bai Shier, who confessed that she was the guard of the Ning Prince's Mansion.

Although she also chose to bury the news deep in her heart because of Bai Shier, she obviously had prepared a lot in her heart. So, after hearing her brother telling him about the relationship between the Ning Prince's Mansion and the Tianyan Sect, although she was surprised that the Ning Prince's Mansion was so involved in this matter, she was not as worried as the emperor in the end.

But Zhu Jinxuan's mood was still not so good.

In addition to being a little angry, Bai Shier did not tell her the news personally when he met her before, she also saw some clues that made her feel uneasy from this incident.

Since this time, Wu Jian was going to Hongdu Mansion as an undercover agent, with Bai Shier's temperament, he must also follow him.

When she thought of Bai Shier not telling her about this, she immediately recalled a past that made her feel very uncomfortable.

However, the last time, although Bai Shier also separated from her for her sake, he went to more than ten or twenty miles outside Quanzhou Prefecture to ambush the thief in Jitian in Tianyan Sect. But this time, if he left for this reason, he would be thousands of miles away from her.

When Zhu Jinxuan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel angry and a little sad.

After the time she was in Quanzhou Prefecture City, Bai Shier had already promised her that no matter what situation she encountered in the future, she would never "give her down" with such a reason. For this reason, after that, she practiced light skills almost every day, so that she could protect herself when she was really in danger and not become a burden to drag Bai Shier down.

But now, this guy Bai Shier actually wants to leave her behind again!

How could this not make her feel angry and angry?

Therefore, Zhu Jinxuan, who has been very "well-behaved" since entering the palace again, once again had the idea of ​​escaping from the palace.

She wanted to find Bai Shier in person and then ask him in person if she really wanted to leave her behind again.

If Bai Shier really thought so, then this time, he would never forgive him again!

...

I just wanted to find an emperor who could talk about this so that I would no longer be so bored and could find someone to share my worries. I didn't know that this time he was like pushing his sister out of the palace himself.

At this moment, he was still immersed in the pleasure and ease after temporarily venting the heavy thoughts in his heart, and continued to review the title book.

Finally, he was able to calm down and review the question book. The first question book he saw was the one that aroused many negative emotions in his heart, which eventually made him temporarily put down the question book, followed the eunuchs around him, and went to the imperial garden to relax. The question book was sent by officials from the Jiangxi Provincial Administration Office.

This question book may be born with the emperor's horoscope and is incompatible with each other. Because Zhu Jinxuan's words that had been depressed for a long time, the emperor finally felt much more relaxed. After seeing the content of this question book, his brows couldn't help but frown again. The more he looked back, the tighter his brows became. In the end, it almost completely turned into the word "chuan".

The content sent by this title book can make the emperor frown so much, but it is not because of the major incidents reported in it that were enough to shock the local area or even shock the entire court. Otherwise, the emperor would not just frown, but had already ordered people to invite several cabinet ministers to discuss.

The content of the title book is actually very simple, which is to impeach King Ning's imperial court. In the past two months, the guards of the Prince Ning's mansion have frequently acted as a hero in the city, and even openly wandered in the bustling market in broad daylight, bullying, beating, and even detaining pedestrians.

To be honest, now that the state dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, because of the "ancestral system" that favors the royal family and relatives set by Emperor Taizu, the vassal kings have completely become a disaster for the state dynasty.

Those who are pure and kind by nature or smarter in nature know how to restrain others and live their own lives.

Those vassal kings who are greedy, cruel, or confused and do not know how to restrain their subordinates are already very slight crimes in their fiefdoms. In serious cases, they are robbed, levy, levy, and robbing men and women... If each of the crimes is recorded in detail, the document cannot be said to be able to fill the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, but it is probably not a problem to fill the entire Qianqing Palace.

Therefore, although many officials are afraid to impeach the vassal king because they are worried about being labeled as "discriminating the family affection" by the emperor, there are still many "indifferent young men" who have just entered the officialdom, or "stones in the pit" with straightforward nature, and some "opportunistic people" who have some thoughts in their hearts will impeach the vassal kings.

Therefore, if the emperor who received this paper in the past had nothing but the next imperial edict to urge the Ning Prince's Mansion, he would throw it into the corner and ignore it.

After all, for more than a hundred years, the vassal kings have been spread all over the country, and they are mixed and cannot be moved so easily. What's more, if the dynasty, which regards filial piety as its "core value", does not have enough reason to convince the public and cut the knife on those vassal kings, it will definitely attract criticism from the court, the people and the people.

However, the emperor, who had just received "related news" from Bai Shier a few days ago, couldn't help but immediately linked the contents described in it with the contents that Bai Shier told him before.

Although Bai Shier did not tell him the relevant situation of Di Ting in order to prevent the emperor from being overly worried and avoid "concern will lead to chaos", he also explained to the emperor that Xuanwu, as the main target of arrest, had many subordinates in Hongdu Prefecture City, and recently there was a conflict with the Ning Prefecture Mansion, and the Ning Prefecture had gained the upper hand.

Thus explaining to him the reason why Xuanwu was so eager to let Wu Jian go to Hongdu Prefecture.

Therefore, after seeing the question book handed over by the Jiangxi Provincial Administration officials, he immediately understood that the situation where the servants in the Ning Palace were impeached in the city, bullying, beating, and even detaining the people was just superficial.

Hidden under this layer of Ning Wang's indulgence, bullying the weak and bullying the market, is actually the Ning Wang Mansion who is working hard to deal with Xuanwu's subordinates in Hongdu Mansion.

Although Xuanwu, which is still hidden in the deep water of the capital, is a big fish that the emperor really wants to catch, compared to the Ning Prince's Mansion, Xuanwu is far behind in any aspect.

Therefore, after seeing that the Ning Prince's Mansion was wearing the robbery of the vassal king and had completely gained the upper hand in the battle with Xuanwu, he frowned tighter and tighter.

After all, he had just agreed to Bai Shier's plan to treat Wu Jian as a secret son and sneak into the Ning Prince's Mansion, which required Xuanwu's full "support and cooperation". If Xuanwu dropped the chain at this time, wouldn't Bai Shier's plan fail before it even started? And wouldn't he completely lose the opportunity to have a glimpse of the reality of Ning Prince's Mansion this time?!

As a thorn in his heart now, he naturally didn't want to see this happen.

"Go and let Mo Bin come and see me."

However, before making a decision, he decided to listen to Bai Shier's "staff officer".

...

It was late night, midnight, and another sleepless night.

Wu Jian, who was lying on the bed, had insomnia again and again.

Since he crossed the wall and went to the next door "neighbor's house and informed the other party of his decision to agree to cooperate with Xuanwu, two nights have passed, and two days have passed. If Xuanwu or his subordinates do not show up tonight, the third night will also pass.

Originally, in his opinion, he told the people around Diting or the North Pole Heaven to agree to the cooperation, and after they immediately sent the news to Xuanwu, Xuanwu would definitely come to discuss the specific details with him so that he could set off as soon as possible.

After all, judging from what he learned before, the situation in Hongdu Mansion is not good.

Otherwise, Xuanwu would not be so anxious. He would not have come to the door in person, half as a threat or half as a beg for him to cooperate.

But no news came for two nights and two days, nothing happened, everything seemed to be different, as if he had met Xuanwu in a dream before, and all this was completely fantasized by him.

But he knew very well that this was not a dream. There were nearly twice as many people outside than before. Every customer who came to his old book shop would follow him after leaving, and so on, and so on, telling him that this was not a dream.

Since this is not a dream, what went wrong?

It was difficult for Wu Jian, who was lying on the bed with his eyes open, looked at the dark roof, which was difficult to see clearly, and fell into thinking.

As an "undercover", the first thing he thought of was naturally:

‘Has my identity been exposed? Xuanwu already knew that I had surrendered to the court?’

After this thought appeared in his mind, his mind was apart from becoming uneasy, and his mind couldn't help but radiate.

"But how did he know about this? Only I, Bai Shier, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the commander of the East Factory, and the chief of the Six Gate, knew that the four of them could not disclose the news at all? Or did I reveal some flaws before, which made Xuanwu feel suspicious?"

Wu Jian recalled every little thing since he had contact with the people from the North Pole, but he could never find any place that would make Xuanwu suspicious of him.

This is not because he is too confident, but since he has contacted the people of the North Pole Heaven, he has never left the sight of the people of the North Pole Heaven. If he needs to doubt someone like him, most of the people who can doubt it in the North Pole Heaven can be found.

"Or, there was a sudden change in Hongdu Prefecture City, the situation changed, or even reversed. Di Ting had already gained the upper hand there. Now Xuanwu is no longer so urgent in his heart to sneak me into the Ning Prince's Mansion?"

Wu Jian, who never thought that he would make Xuanwu suspicious, finally gave up that idea and was occupied by another idea again.

"No, it's impossible. The Ning Prince's Mansion is powerful and has been rooted in Hongdu Mansion for nearly a hundred years. The relationship is intricate. Before, he even gained the upper hand by suddenly taking action. Even if Xuanwu sent all the people of Di Ting over there, he would just send a few more prisoners and ghosts to the Ning Prince's Mansion."

But immediately, Wu Jian shook his head again and denied this idea, and felt that this idea was even more unreliable than his previous identity discovered by Xuanwu.

Neither this nor that, what medicine is sold in Xuanwu’s gourd?!

...

Now Xuanwu really hopes that he can have a gourd that can contain medicine. It is best that each of the medicines contained in this gourd is worth a thousand gold or even priceless treasure.

Because after a day of "plundering" everywhere, he was still missing a total of 2,000 taels of silver from the number that he thought could meet Wu Jian's bottom line - 10,000 taels of silver.

In this way, it was the three thousand taels of silver he had collected after he sold the gift he had originally given to King Ning for a high price next year.

Anyway, he and Prince Ning's mansion have broken completely, and it has even reached a state of dying. The gift he had prepared early on will definitely not be given out.

Since that's the case, it's better to just take it out and sell it for money.

Unfortunately, although this gift is indeed very expensive and valuable, it still cannot completely make up for the difference of up to 5,000 taels. The 2,500 taels sold only half of the difference of 5,000 taels.

Cooperating with the 500 taels found on this day, the goal was only 2,000 taels and a one-fifth gap.

But the last fifth of the silver, two thousand taels, is much more difficult than the previous eight thousand taels.

So much so that Xuanwu's eyebrows and beard turned white a few times in the past two days, and he was still powerless.

The most important thing is that two days and two nights have passed, and the third night is about to pass. He really can't continue to wait like this and continue to raise money.

Otherwise, I am afraid that Wu Jian will feel retrenched because of his delay in seeing any movement.

Even if he drags on, Wu Jian might have fled without hesitation because he is worried that something has happened to him.

After all, the basis of trust between the two parties is actually extremely weak, and it is entirely supported by just a few words.

He has been reluctant to reply to Wu Jian, and Wu Jian will definitely be frightened because he is worried that he will change his mind in the middle and run away immediately.
