Chapter 57

Emperor Wen felt a little nervous, picked up the letter and looked at it carefully, and shouted loudly: "Eunuch Li?"

The eunuch outside the door hurried into the house when he heard the call and replied, "I'm here."

"I'm a little tired of picking tea just now. I want to take a break here. You go outside the teahouse and no one can wait."

Seeing that Emperor Wen's face was unstable and was very well-behaved, Eunuch Li immediately put away the joyfulness he had on his face and whispered: "I obey the order." Then he turned around and retreated quickly.

Wendi opened the envelope and carefully read the letter. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said, "The messenger is still there?"

At this time, a girl's voice came from a corner of the tea room: "Here, please forgive me for being rude and not being able to show up."

Wendi seemed to be unwilling to care and murmured to himself: "The plan is a good plan...but, is she sure she has decided?"

"Yes, the princess said that as long as she acts according to this plan, she will be able to help Your Majesty get rid of Mu Yunzuo and eliminate future troubles." The girl's voice was without hesitation.

Emperor Wen snorted coldly and said, "It's just as a condition that I need to send 100,000 heroic troops to Taiye City to help her ascend the throne?"

"That's exactly what it means."

Emperor Wen picked up the letter and whispered: "...When the time is right, please ask your country's Mu Yunzuo Taishi to lead the elite troops of Cangwu to enter Taiye to take the plan of Xiang..."

When he came to this point, he hesitated and asked, "But how easy is it to cross the Han River for 100,000 troops?"

The girl smiled again: "This matter is not difficult. There are 300 head ships, which are replaced day and night, and the 100,000 majestic troops can be completed in three days."

Emperor Wen disagreed when he heard this and shook his head and said, "Three hundred ships, this is not a small number. Even if he built a ship, with a wise man like Minghuang, how can this ship be used without suspicion?"

The girl still explained calmly: "The princess has advised His Majesty Ming Emperor since three years ago that there are not only Cangwu in the west of Hanjiang. Just the small countries and vassal states, there are as many as fourteen countries. Although these countries are small, their products are rich and unique. They are combined with considerable numbers, but they are only suffering from the Hanjiang River. If they can build huge ships for commercial use, and then build commercial stores on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, they will surely connect the world, and the pearls and jades are beautiful. His Majesty Ming Emperor agreed very much after hearing this, without any doubt."

Wendi sneered: "Your princess will prepare for the future and started making this plan three years ago. If her mother knew her intention, she would be extremely heartbroken."

The girl replied: "His Majesty Ming Emperor is very insightful and has always been cautious. The princess said that only the plank road Chen Cang combined into one can be built openly and secretly crossing the world and hide the world. Therefore, it is not a false statement that these three hundred ships are used as merchant ships. After Your Majesty helps the princess accomplish things, she will give half of them to the Cangwu Kingdom, so that they can truly communicate with each other, and benefit from them."

Emperor Wen laughed: "What a plank road, Chen Cang, combined into one, I was very moved, and I hope that your princess would ascend to the imperial throne soon. But isn't she afraid that I will take this ship and carry armor to cross the Hanjiang River?"

The girl also laughed: "Your Majesty is good at planning, but the princess also talked about this while talking and laughing. Although the country of Bihai has few soldiers and armor, its ability to build ships is unparalleled in the world. These giant ships can withstand the strong winds and waves of the Hanjiang River, all relying on the clever and clever locks buried by the shipcraft. If Your Majesty wants to lead the troops to the Blue Sea with this ship, we will have a way to dismantle these locks one by one. At that time, the ship will probably disperse into a pile of wood chips before it reaches the shore, and Your Majesty's heroic army will have to feed the fish." The girl's words were sarcastic, and her tone was not weak.

Wendi's face darkened and he didn't say anything. Years of determination made him no longer angry easily, not to mention that what the girl said was confident and obviously had expected it. After thinking for a while, he suddenly seemed to think of another thing and nodded, "So that's it... It turns out that you want to use this method..."

The girl giggled: "Your Majesty is so sensible. The princess has always said that the late emperors of the Cangwu Li family have ruled the country with kindness, but Your Majesty's wisdom is no less than that of the Muyun family."

When Emperor Wen heard this, he suddenly felt that this words sounded like a praising word, but it was really spicy. It touched the deepest part of his heart, and he couldn't help but be furious. But in just a moment, he suppressed the anger on his face and said lightly: "I know what she means. Go back and tell her that I have no objection to this matter."

The girl responded and said, "In addition, the princess of your country's crown prince and Princess Bihai Qingle, said that she also hoped to remarry the two countries and marry Cangwu. However, His Majesty Ming Emperor was still hesitant. If Cangwu Kingdom could send another marriage proposal mission in the near future and do the matter more grandly, it would definitely add fuel to the fire and dispel His Majesty Ming Emperor's indecision."

Emperor Wen thought about it carefully, and a hint of undetectable smile appeared on his face, saying, "I know this. I will send an envoy to Bihai recently, so I will ask her to receive her for a lifetime. However, when the envoy proposes, if the prince himself is present, it will be unruly. Please ask her to send someone to send the prince back to Cangwu Kingdom in the near future."

The girl responded and then left silently. She had already left at some point. Emperor Wind put the letter into the small stove for stir-frying tea, sat for a while, and laughed.

Zhu Zhiling, in recent years, you have only said that I am your chess piece. This time I will let you know who is the chess player.

Eunuch Li waited outside the teahouse for a long time before seeing Emperor Wen slowly coming out of the teahouse. Seeing that Emperor Wen's face had been much more relaxed, and it was even more pleasant than usual. He thought in his heart that it was mostly because of the auspiciousness of the iron tree, he hurriedly filled with smiles, intending to just hold Emperor Wen's words to the festive face later to make a happy face.

Unexpectedly, when Emperor Wen saw Eunuch Li, he said to him: "I will change my clothes for me, I will go to Rongqing Palace."

Eunuch Li was stunned. Why did he suddenly go to Rongqing Palace and not go to Changqing Palace to see the iron trees? You should know that Rongqing Palace is the place where the Taimiao of the late emperors of Cangwu Kingdom was located. Why did you remember to go there for no reason for such an ordinary day?

However, Eunuch Li is an old man in the palace who has been involved in the matter. Without asking more questions, he just smiled indirectly: "Is the Lord going to tell the late emperor about this auspicious sign?"

Emperor Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then praised: "You are smart and understand my thoughts very much. Yes, I plan to tell the old emperor about this auspicious sign."

Eunuch Li hurriedly put on his face and flattered him: "Where is the old slave who understands the saint? It is obvious that when the late emperor was there, you were filial to him in all kinds of filial piety. Everyone knows the praises of the people in the world, who can't guess it?"

As he said that, he felt a little confused. Before Xiangrui had seen him, he went to Rongqing Palace to report the good news. No matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. However, he did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly helped Emperor Wen to change his clothes into the Changqing Palace.

Rongqing Palace is not within the imperial garden, but is built in a depression next to the mountains and rivers five miles west of the palace. It is said to be the best Feng Shui treasure land in the Wanhua Emperor Capital. Therefore, since Emperor Gaozu founded the dynasty, he chose this place to build the Taimiao. Going further south, it is the Taishi Mansion of the Muyun clan.

When Emperor Wen arrived at Rongqing Palace in the afternoon, it was dusk and he was about to meet the palace people who lowered their heads and sprinkled water on the ground, busy cleaning them day and night.

Emperor Wen got off the chariot and saw a Qibao Incense car parked in front of the palace gate. There was a wooden sign with no words hanging in front of the car, with only a few auspicious clouds engraved.

He frowned and asked left and right, "What? Is it the Taijun Li of the Taishi Mansion in the Taishi Mansion inside?" Eunuch Li was about to come forward to ask the palace servants, but a sound of crutches came from Rongqing Palace, knocking on the bluestone ground, and the sound came into his ears. When he saw that it was the biological mother of the two Taishi masters of the Muyun Mansion, Li Taijun.

Since the last time the two of them faced each other in Hanyuan Palace faced each other in a turbulent tit-for-tat way, they have not seen each other for several months. Emperor Wen once secretly inquired about it. After learning that Mr. Li had obtained the iron coupon for the alchemy, he has been living a quiet place and only caring for Mu Yunzuo in the mansion, and ignored all the other matters.

Obviously, Mr. Li had never expected to meet Emperor Wen here, but he was an old man who had seen the world after all. When he saw Emperor Wen standing in front of the palace, the crane and cloud stick in his hand hit the ground without any hesitation. She walked straight to Emperor Wen, bowed slowly, and said:

"I have seen the priest."

Emperor Wen waited for her to salute, and Fang personally stepped forward and helped her up and asked, "How could Mr. Li come here today? I heard that Mr. Zuo is dedicated to taking care of Mr. Zuo in the mansion, but I wonder if his body is better?"

Mr. Li smiled slightly and said, "I have dreamed so much recently and nights. I often remember my old sister. So I came to see it, add a stick of incense, and say a few nagging words. If it were based on the Cangwu ancestor system, the identity of the wife of the minister, Lao Shi would not have been allowed to enter the royal temple. It was also thanks to the great grace of the late emperor. Tenen allowed Lao Shi to come here to worship at any time in the future. Whenever I think about it, I feel grateful."

Emperor Wen listened to the words and comforted him with a kind look: "What is the words of Taijun Li? Taijun and the emperor are close relatives of blood and sisters. Even if the wife of the ministers enters and leaves the Seven Temples in this dynasty, there is no precedent for the two kings under Li Taijun to be the pillars of the country. My mother is also Taijun's sister, which is really connected by flesh and blood. As the saying goes, filial piety in the world is the first to make an example for my aunt. What's wrong with not mentioning this matter in the future."

Mr. Li suddenly heard Emperor Wen call her "auntie". He felt a lot of emotion. He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully. There was clearly some sister's phoenix-like appearance between the slender eyebrows. He had just said to his sister's portrait in Rongqing Palace for a long time. Now that he saw Emperor Wen, he remembered some past events and couldn't help but burst into tears.
