Opposite the lower part of the royal city, isn't that Zhangzhou, known as the depression, the fiefdom of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!
The King of Chu's disobedience and desire to become his own master were clearly revealed, and this rumor was well known to everyone.
At present, this fake monk is using this to interpret the meaning of the second half of Que's signature. There is no doubt that he is just talking nonsense in order to win the king's reward.
This person was clearly playing tricks on Hu Meng. This deception made Ge Shu Wuluan even more angry.
Even so, even though this matter is not a secret, it still makes me worried about it.
Suddenly remembering the prayer of Crown Prince Hongli during the family banquet, no wonder he suddenly went to Beijing to petition on behalf of his father. It must be that the King of Chu wanted to return to Beijing under the banner of family affection to cause trouble!
After hearing this, the monarch faintly clasped his big palms, his joints turning white inch by inch, "I have received this lot. What reward do you want, master? Gold or jewels?"
"I don't ask for gold or silver." The man replied indifferently.
"oh?"
His answer not only shocked the monarch and the concubine, but also surprised Brother Shu Wuluan.
Clinker, the man pondered for a moment, and said something astonishing, "If the two come true, I will honor you and demote you, and worship the virtuous person as the national teacher."
Worship? ! If he is a virtuous person, all the people in the world who talk shamelessly can be called immortals!
What an arrogant villain, and he really dares to make conditions! The National Preceptor is the backbone of a country, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, so if a lion likes to open his mouth, only he dares to say it.
Brother Shu Wuluan was about to sternly reprimand him, but unexpectedly, the king responded in a deep voice: "This matter is settled in one word."
After saying that, she walked away from the place. The concubine was busy following behind her, but before leaving, she glanced at the man with dark eyes.
The air around him was gradually heating up, and when he breathed it in, it was stuffy and hot in his lungs. There were cicadas screaming tirelessly in the shade of the trees.
A gust of hot wind rushed towards the person's body. Instead of dispelling the boredom, it caused people to sweat all over.
Ge Shu Wuluan walked up to the man with narrowed eyes, stood with his backlight, and looked him up and down for a moment.
The man in the shadow seemed to be in Zen meditation, sitting upright, with half a silver mask showing a faint coldness.
With a sound of "Cang Rang", he pulled out his sword, and pointed the sharp sword tip filled with cold light directly at the man's throat, and then a icy words floated out of his lips, "Keep in mind what you said, If neither of them comes true, or if only one comes true, I will fix your head."
Even if he was right about the man-made disaster, she was sure that this natural disaster would never happen!
The man raised his eyes, a pair of handsome eyes full of confidence and arrogance, his face was calm and calm, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly, "I'm afraid your Majesty will be disappointed!"
&
Three days later, there was a heavy rain inside and outside the royal city, which instantly drove away the recent heat. The crops that had been in drought for a long time were irrigated and moistened, and their vitality was restored in time.
However, what is surprising is that the heavy rain lasted for seven consecutive days and showed no sign of stopping.
The crops that had just regained their vitality were so affected by heavy rains that they suddenly became flooded.
Just yesterday, the previous government sent memorials to several state capitals one after another, saying that the rainfall was too heavy and too strong, and the dams were broken. There have been considerable floods in various states and counties.
When this incident came out, it not only made the monarch full of fear and worry, but also made his brother Shu Wuluan surprised and stunned. Unexpectedly, the evil man's nonsense turned out to be a prophecy!
In the afternoon, the sky was gray, and big raindrops fell from the sky thick with rain and fog, accompanied by strong winds and crackling into the mud. Broken branches and branches all over the garden were lying sideways in the muddy water, and were buried bit by bit in the mud. .
It was raining and foggy everywhere, and the cold air was chilling to the bones. A figure hurriedly passed through the corridor and entered the main hall.
As soon as I entered the hall, I was greeted by some warmth, which drove away the chill on my body.
Brother Shu Wuluan walked lightly to the Xiangzhu couch at the side of the palace. When he saw the concubine taking a nap, there were some wrinkles between his eyebrows. He hurriedly took a robe and covered her body lightly. .
Her movements were light and gentle, but even so, she still woke up the concubine from her light sleep.
The concubine suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, "Sir, Police Officer No. 5117 of the Anti-Narcotics Team, Liu Xia, has returned to the team..."
This inexplicable word immediately made Ge Shu Wuluan freeze on the spot, looking at the empress's palm raised diagonally on the side of her forehead. Such a special gesture showed her full ability.
She whispered in surprise, "Your Majesty..."
She didn't know what was going on with the concubine, nor did she know what Arthur and the Poison Team meant in her words, but this was not the first time she heard her concubine say such incomprehensible words.
I still remember that not long after she entered the palace, she was on duty for the empress one night, but suddenly she heard the empress murmuring in her sleep, 'Be careful... the drug dealer has a gun in his hand, Type 54, military... '
Although she was surprised at that time, she dismissed it as a dream talk, but now...
Hearing a low call, the concubine suddenly woke up. She hurriedly put down her gestures, took up the palace clothes with a slightly flustered expression, sat down on the Xiangzhu couch with a calm attitude, and said softly: "I just said It’s a nightmare, there are some things Luan’er shouldn’t take to heart.”
Ge Shu Wuluan knew that the concubine was deliberately concealing it. However, she would act blind and deaf if she shouldn't know. She understood this better than anyone else.
Hearing this, the woman nodded slightly and responded, "Yes."
The concubine stared at her for a moment, then a faint smile of satisfaction appeared on her lips, "I have called you here because I have something for you to do."
Brother Shu Wuluan stared and listened attentively.
The concubine sighed lightly and said: "Recently, there have been disasters in various states and counties. The king has a restless night and cannot eat because of this. It is simply because the national treasury is empty and he cannot allocate enough money for disaster relief."
As soon as he finished speaking, Geshu Wuluan suggested in a manly voice: "For this matter, you might as well call on the officials and merchants in the royal city to raise donations..."
"I have also considered raising donations, but it doesn't work. You don't know how stingy those officials and businessmen are. Not only will they not raise much money, but they will also cause a lot of complaints. Furthermore, if If we raise donations, everyone will know that the treasury is empty. At that time, I am afraid that it will give those disobedient people an opportunity to take advantage of it, and there is no guarantee that they will not use it to start an army and cause chaos! However, the flood disaster must be saved, However, the little money in the national treasury cannot solve the disaster, and it is not enough to replenish the military resources. This may put the Great Shang Dynasty in a precarious situation!" The concubine said with a solemn face.
Brother Shu Wuluan frowned suddenly, "Then, what Yi Niangniang means..."
"Now the only way to resolve the crisis is to secretly find a wealthy businessman to borrow money and promise to pay interest."
There is no shortage of wealthy merchants in Dongdu, but they are all small and small. The only truly wealthy merchant is Zhu Junhao.
Thinking of this, Ge Shu Wuluan looked slightly troubled and said: "The only such wealthy businessman is Zhu Junhao, but he is Pei An's sister-in-law..."
Unexpectedly, the concubine hurriedly answered: "Just because he is related to Pei An, we have to try to get this credit before Pei An. Otherwise, Pei An has made great achievements and is very popular for a while, but it may be difficult in the future." Suppressed.”
Of course she was aware of her mother-in-law's worries, but how could Zhu Junhao leave his brother-in-law unhelpful and turn around and offer them an olive branch
Scanning the embarrassment on the woman's face, the concubine's amber eyes flashed with shrewdness, "There is no need for Luan'er to be embarrassed about this matter. It is true that Pei An and Zhu Junhao are related by marriage, but I have heard that in recent years, the two of them have... They rarely move around, it's just because Pei An's sister reconciled with them, and they had some resentment."
Brother Shu Wuluan had also heard about what the concubine said. Back then, Pei An forced his beloved sister to marry Zhu Junhao in order to gather a large amount of money to support him and help the king seize the rightful son. As the saying goes, strong melons are not sweet. Although Zhu Junhao fell in love with Pei An's sister Pei Junxue at first sight, Liu Shui deliberately fell in love and was ruthless. I heard that the two barely lived together for seven or eight years before they broke up on bad terms. . Later, I heard that Pei Junxue, who had divorced, devoted himself to a temple to lead the Qing Dynasty and was always accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lanterns all year round...
It must be because of this incident that Pei and Zhu became strangers.
At this moment, the concubine, who had been silent for a moment, spoke up again, "Actually, this matter is not that difficult to do. As long as the relationship between Zhu Junhao and Pei Junxue can be repaired, let alone borrowing some money from him, just talk to him." If you ask for it, he will give it to you with both hands filled with joy.”
Brother Shu Wuluan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Times have changed, I'm afraid Zhu Junhao may not still have affection for Pei Junxue."
For a rich and powerful man, there are many young beauties who are devoted to him. How can he lack pampering around him? If so, how could he still be obsessed with the deeds of self-invitation and divorce? She expressed doubts about this.
The concubine seemed to have seen through her doubts, she curled her red lips and smiled confidently: "Yes! Time flies, and the beauty is gone. No man can resist the temptation of those young 'flowers' around him, but, listen, Have you ever said that a rich and powerful man who is over 40 years old is still single to this day?"
"This..." At this time, Ge Shu Wuluan was speechless.
However, she did not expect that Zhu Junhao still had not renewed their relationship, and she did not expect that the empress would understand the matter so clearly.
"Let's go ahead and do it. Pei Junxue is practicing in Hanshan Temple in the suburbs. How to persuade her to return to Zhu Junhao's arms depends on your careful and delicate thinking."
Looking at the concubine's eyes full of high hopes, Ge Shu Wuluan couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart. Although she was not completely sure of persuading Pei Junxue, since the empress had entrusted her with this important task, she would definitely do her best.
"Yes. Luan'er will go to Hanshan Temple early tomorrow morning to persuade Pei Junxue." After saying this, he turned to leave.
She had just started to take steps, but before she even landed, she heard the eldest concubine say calmly behind her: "When you have some free time, you can take the time to take a look at the mansion given by the monarch. If you feel satisfied, you can occasionally stay for a few days. Speaking of which, After all, it is the king’s respect for you, you can’t just accept the favor and just ignore it.”
Hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan's back stiffened slightly and he responded softly, "Yes."
