The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 45 Imperial Envoy

Huang Jingchen broke into a cold sweat again after listening to Zhao Tao's words. He was so happy that he actually forgot the 'basic national policy' of the Song Dynasty. Although the prince was granted the title of Yanzhou, the soles of his shoes may not be stained with a speck of dust from Yanzhou for the rest of his life.

Being able to wander around in the "big prison" in the capital, if you want to go out far, you have to see if Da Zongzheng is happy. As a prince, you can't mobilize the imperial army, or even the soldiers of the Xiang army, and it's impossible to train troops. Moreover,

Training privately is a grave sin of rebellion.

There are many emperors of great wisdom and bravery in the past dynasties of China. However, in order to ensure that the inheritance of the throne can be carried out peacefully and to avoid confrontation with the brother Xiao Qiang, things often develop in the opposite direction.

of intrigue and bloodshed.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous dynasty in the Song Dynasty, after the founding of the country, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin not only took away the military power of the military generals, but also adopted the policy of civilian rule. He also took strict precautions against the royal family and did not follow the practices of the previous dynasty - sending clan kings to their

Instead of going up to the fiefdom, the clan members will stay in the capital and be given generous salaries to high-ranking officials in name only. In other words, you will now enjoy ministerial-level treatment, but you will also be able to show up at meetings and say a few words to make it comfortable.

If you say so, show me your watch, if you want to have some real power to participate in politics and bring troops, there is no way, and the windows are blocked for you!

This good policy passed down to later generations was changed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and King Zhu Di of Yan staged a drama where his uncle usurped his nephew's throne, causing bloodshed for thousands of miles. However, this policy was passed down to the Qing Dynasty from generation to generation, but the "braids" came out,

We should follow the holy scriptures and act according to the rules. The topic has strayed too far, so we must turn around!

"Your Majesty, what should we do? What can we do by guarding this palm-sized land? Why not take this opportunity to find a way to return to the capital as soon as possible and maybe there will be a turn for the better!" Huang Jingchen thought about it and said.

"Uncle Huang, we have to return to the capital sooner or later, but now is not the time. Although we only have this ten-mile radius now, this is our foundation and we can still do something. If we return to the capital, we will put ourselves at risk.

It will be more difficult to do something in public, so I can’t go back to Beijing for the time being!" Zhao Tong stood up and said.

"Your Majesty is right, but what can we do if we stay here?" Huang Jingchen thought about it, nodded and asked again.

"Money! Money is needed for everything, money is needed for military training, and even more money is needed for war. The first big thing we have to do now is to make money, to make this land grow money!" Zhao Tu's little fist was on the table

Shang slapped him hard and said.

"Yes, the prince is right. Only when we have money can we recruit soldiers, and only when we have money can we raise soldiers. When we have money, there is nothing we can't do!" Huang Jingchen unconsciously followed Zhao Tao's thoughts.

, he also felt that the prince's idea was right. If what the prince said really happened and the war was in chaos, everyone would be a grass-headed king. If you have money, you can recruit troops. At the worst, you can go south and become a rich man.

"How can the prince make money? If you want to do something big, it's not a small sum. With these hundreds of hectares of land, even if you have a good harvest every year, you can only earn tens of thousands of dollars!" When it comes to making money, the old man is worried again.

The way they used to get money was just to collect some "filial piety" from below and take some from the emperor's pocket. It was okay to engage in crooked ways, but there was really no serious way!

"Uncle Huang, don't worry about how to get the money. I will find a way. The most important thing at the moment is not to let some people make a fuss about me being crowned king and persuade the emperor to take us back. That will really work.

You are trapped in a cage and you are at their mercy!" Zhao Tong said to Huang Jingchen with a frown, not wanting his just-started plan to be aborted.

"Haha, Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter, just leave it to the old man. I can't do anything to make money, but there are many ways to deal with these people in the palace. The insurance will make them give up this idea." Huang Jingchen said with a smile.

"Uncle Huang, is there any good idea?" Zhao Tong asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, old man, although I am a 'fallen phoenix' now, I used to make waves in the palace. Some people are not willing to see me return to the palace. The people who will announce the decree tomorrow are none other than these two people. We

"Okay," Huang Jingchen whispered in Zhao Tong's ear. Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment, then laughed again and nodded repeatedly. Although this old man was usually very serious, he was also messing around with pots and jars.

On the official road leading from Fucheng to Xiangyi County, a team came from a distance and headed south against the cold wind. In front of them were more than a dozen government officials from Gongzhou Prefecture. They sounded gongs in front of them to open the way, held up high to avoid, and the imperial envoy issued a patrol board.

, followed by a group of Forbidden Army soldiers wearing bright clothes and angry horses, wearing armor and bright red cloaks, holding swords and guns across the sword in a majestic manner, guarding two red-topped and green-colored sedans with people and several large carts carrying goods.

Walk slowly. When the pedestrians, cars and horses on the road see this, they will know that they cannot be offended and they will dodge.

Liang Shicheng was wearing a sable fur coat and holding a stove in his hand as he closed his eyes and meditated in the car, as if he didn't hear the noise outside. Liang Shicheng had been in the palace for many years. He first worked as an errand in the calligraphy and art bureau, dealing with calligraphy and painting old papers every day, and was unknown.

.Now the emperor likes calligraphy and painting, so he goes to the calligraphy and art bureau more often. Liang Shicheng's master kicked his legs at this time. He keenly felt that his opportunity had come. With the seemingly loyal face given by his parents, and in the

I have been immersed in the calligraphy and art bureau for many years, and I have learned some poetry, calligraphy and painting through my ears and eyes. I actually got into trouble with the emperor, and finally obtained the external library of Lin Ruisi Palace. This job also went out to spread the message.

Liang Shicheng in the car suddenly sighed, people are more irritating than others. Yang Jian, with his mouth that can talk the dead and his eight-hole heart that can understand the emperor's thoughts, has been known to all the ministers; Tong Guan relied on

In his early years, he followed Li Xian in the northwest for several years. After that, he not only obtained things that the emperor was interested in in the Mingjin Bureau, but also became famous. He also took the opportunity to hook up with Cai Jing. In the past few years, he was assigned to supervise the army in the northwest.

After regaining Hehuang, he was appointed as the envoy to Jingfu Palace, the observation envoy to Xiangzhou, and the two envoys to transfer funds to the chamberlain. He also dominated the northwest. He counted on his fingers. Although he was a rising star, the person above him was still the same.

There are really too many. When will it be my turn to get ahead?

Suddenly a woman's scream came from the carriage behind. Liang Shicheng frowned, and the folds on his face drooped down like a curtain. This young butt-selling guy became the emperor's side just because his father was the current prime minister and he was a proficient in courtship skills.

The number one celebrity. "No, I have to find a way!" Liang Shicheng touched the piles of folds on his face, looked at the yellow satin box next to him and suddenly smiled. Isn't this his advantage?

"Hehe, little lady, let me touch what treasure you have on you again!" Cai You, who was in the carriage behind, held the charming beauty in his arms with one hand, and held her up and down with the other hand.

"Xueshi Cai, no, there is someone outside." She just opened her mouth and was blocked by another mouth. There were bursts of murmuring in the car. The guards beside the car waved their hands to tell everyone to stay away from the car.

The people smiled at each other and quickly or slowly moved away from the car.

Legend has it that Cai Jing has a pair of 'poisonous eyes'. He can stare at the midday sun for a long time without blinking, and he can see through his mind at a glance. This Cai You failed to inherit his father's 'talent', but he succeeded.

These eyes.

During the Yuanfu reign of Emperor Zhezong, the current emperor was still Prince Duan, and Cai You was only the supervisor of the Beijing Taizao Institute. He was only twenty-two or three years old at the time. Every time he went to the Taizao Institute, he would catch up with the courtiers and retreat, so he had a good plan.

Every time he went to court, he would see a handsome young man who was a few years older than himself. He dismounted his horse and stood aside with his hands folded. He was courteous and amiable.

, it can be seen that this guy’s eyesight is not bad either!

Zhezong passed away and King Duan ascended the throne. Of course, he would not forget his "eye contact". Cai You rose up like a rocket and became the emperor's sidekick. In the third year of Chongning, he was awarded Honglu Cheng.

Cai You was a Jinshi and became a secretary. He used Zhimi Pavilion and Jixian Hall to compile and compile "Guochao Huiyao". Within two years, he was promoted to Privy Councilor. After Cai Jing became the prime minister, Cai You was added to the post.

Longtuge was a scholar and an attendant, detailed the "Dacheng Picture Chronicles", revised the "Dadian", was promoted to the official of Shangqing Baolu, secretary to the Provincial Liangjie Recording Academy, and the Etiquette Bureau!

This errand was of no use to Cai You, but the old man heard that Chen Tang had hated the second prince, so he asked him to come and explore the situation, and make amends in a timely manner, so as not to cause a rift in the relationship between the two families. Cai You asked him yesterday

When they arrived in Gongzhou, of course they scolded Chen Tang first, then plundered and plundered them to get some travel expenses. Chen Tang was also considered 'honest' and reported the situation he had handled, and at the same time expressed his deep 'condolences' for upsetting the prime minister.

, and at the same time gave Mr. Cai a bunch of "huizi" and "lent" his newly married concubine to him.

After receiving the benefit, Mr. Cai's face immediately turned cloudy. He helped him learn from the pain and then comforted him, saying that he would explain it clearly to the emperor at the right time and on the right occasion and eliminate the misunderstanding between the emperor and his ministers.

Chen Tang originally wanted to send Wan Guan's gift and hoped that the eldest son would give him another chance, but there was no chance.

The convoy moved forward in a sparkling way, turning a corner and going down the road. Although the dirt road after the snow was frozen solid, the walking was already bouncing like their mood. "Hey, I drive this road, and this tree is

I want to pass by here and leave the money to buy the road!" The motorcade entered the village entrance and was about to reach the palace. Suddenly, a group of "strong men" sprang out from the trees on the side of the road and blocked the way.

Liang Shicheng felt the car suddenly trembled and stopped. He lifted the curtain and looked out through the crowd. He saw a big tree branch lying in the middle of the road blocking the road ahead, and there were more than ten strongmen holding various weapons.

The "weapons" stood in the middle of the road with a murderous look, their little faces tightened, wielding knives and guns, glaring angrily, as if they were going to kill people if they disagreed with each other, but if you look more closely, Liang Shicheng's nose was almost crooked with anger.

, these strong men are not very old, only about eight, nine, or ten years old.
