The Taoyuan Poetry Club has ended. Fewer poems have been circulated during the poem club, and there are almost no famous poems.
But it is more widely spread that the emperor attended the poetry meeting and got a glimpse of the talents of Yangzhou.
This was incredible. This was Emperor Wu's first visit to the south of the Yangtze River since he ascended the throne. He brought a few followers with him, giving him an approachable and approachable attitude.
The people in the south of the Yangtze River have not yet had a concrete image of the current emperor, and everyone instinctively has a reverence for the emperor.
But Emperor Wu gave people the opposite impression. His approachability was not only towards Lin Wanjie, but he would also kindly give thirty or fifty copper coins to beggars.
Moreover, Lin Wanjie was also released by Emperor Wu's order, but was only detained for three days.
What common people wouldn't like an emperor who was extremely kind?
But being too kind is not always a good thing. Over time, people will lose their respect for the emperor.
But Emperor Wu was special. He had reached the point where he didn't need to use force to make others fear him. Because he has absolute self-confidence and is not afraid of any threats. All he lacks is kindness to win people's hearts.
Only two days have passed, and the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City are full of discussions about the emperor, and they are all positive discussions. Everyone praises the emperor and laments that the people are blessed.
Among the people, apart from the discussion about the emperor, the rest is about Peach Blossom Drunkenness.
Taohua Zui appeared in the name of a sponsor at the poetry festival, allowing more than 300 literati to taste distilled liquor. Who wouldn't drunkenly say "good wine"?
Among ancient ways of spreading, the spread among literati was the fastest, and the common people often imitated the literati's life. The good wine drunk by the literati spread and was quickly passed to every household.
Lin Da Liquor's business is so good that the threshold is being trampled down.
The amount of wine produced continues to increase every day, but it still cannot meet the needs of the guests.
Life in Yangzhou is changing with each passing day. Whether it is because of the arrival of travelers or the emperor's personal visit, daily life is quietly changing.
As for Qingguo Ren Hongye, who was warming up at the poetry meeting, the news of being hugged by Lin Wanjie spread far and wide.
Under other circumstances, if this poor man were forcibly hugged or even looked at in the face, no matter how you looked, your value would definitely drop significantly.
But the turning point in this matter was that Lin Wanjie forcibly hugged the person in front of the emperor.
Not only did it not become a detestable deed, it actually pushed the popularity of red leaves to the extreme.
This is a woman who has shown her face in front of the emperor. If she can get close to her, she can brag about her for a lifetime.
Lin Wanjie was released from prison and stayed at home for a few days.
The eldest lady was busy running errands outside. Just because Lin Wanjie said that she would open the trade route between Hangzhou and Yangzhou and form a more professional team of escorts, she was extremely busy all day, and the housework was naturally left to the maid.
On the first day of April, the sky was sunny.
Lin Wanjie opened his account book and wondered how long it would take to buy a big house in Yangzhou.
After looking at the account book and calculating, I immediately felt ashamed. My family had made a lot of money, but they invested more and ended up with a debt of more than a thousand taels.
Among them, the bulk of the money was spent on building wineries and running trade routes and dealing with nearby bandits.
Nangong Ying was waiting on the ink beside him. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw such a big man holding a small brush and writing and drawing on the account book. The handwriting was crooked.
However, news suddenly came from outside - Prince Jing was dead.
There was a snap sound. Lin Wanjie did not check hard for a moment, and the pen tip broke.
Nangong Ying also stiffened and froze on the spot.
Xiaolian came back from outside, her pretty face flushed and sweating: "I accompanied my wife out of the city, and I just found out the news on the way today. Prince Jing has been missing for nearly a month without any reason, and traces of a fight were found outside Hangzhou. Although Jing was not seen, Prince Jing’s body, but the government has announced that Prince Jing is dead.”
"Prince Jing is dead..." Lin Wanjie was shocked. He simply felt that it was unexpected that a master like Prince Jing died suddenly. Who could kill Prince Jing? And no body was found!
Prince Jing is both good and evil, and he and Lin Wanjie have some grudges and some festivals, but they are not enemies, and they can even be considered friends.
Lin Wanjie calmed down, mostly sighing in his heart, a person like Prince Lian Jing would die on his own terms, what else could not happen?
Thinking about it, Lin Wanjie's eyes shifted to Nangong Ying. Her emotions should be the most complicated.
Sure enough, Nangong Ying's eyes were red. Even a canary raised by Prince Jing still had feelings after being with her for ten years.
"Maybe there was a mistake somewhere. I don't think Prince Jing should have been killed so easily. After all, even the body hasn't been found yet."
Lin Wanjie gave a simple comfort.
Nangong Ying sighed with emotion: "Hey, although the prince has the skills to protect himself, he is too arrogant. It is not unusual for him to end up like this."
With that said, Nangong Ying wiped the corners of her eyes and continued to grind the ink.
The news also reached Emperor Wu at the same time.
In Taoyuan Villa, a wave of air swept through, and an attic suddenly collapsed without warning.
A group of people crawled out of the ruins in embarrassment, and then shouted in horror: "Your Majesty, find your Majesty!"
Lin Wang shook the dust off his body, frowned and said, "Get out of the way!"
Does the emperor still need them to worry?
The next second, Emperor Wu walked out of the ruins. He was not stained by any dust. He stood coldly on the spot. His aura alone scared everyone away from him.
"Lao Wu is dead! No wonder there has been no news." Emperor Wu said to himself, "The order is passed. The murderer must be found within one month. Otherwise, the three prefects of Jiangnan will also be buried with him!"
Everyone was silent.
Especially the local officials, guards, etc., who had been in contact with the emperor for many days, thought that the current emperor was a man without a temper because they had never seen him angry. But this time the situation was different. Once the emperor became angry, the entire Taoyuan would be demolished. .
Everyone followed the order and left. Only Lin Wang stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, after all, there is no body. I can't say for sure..."
Lin Wang froze on the spot, and a cold gaze fell on his face. For a moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Lin Wang had some concerns because he had different intentions. When the emperor glared at him, he thought he had missed something, so he naturally panicked.
However, Emperor Wu suddenly coughed slightly and lowered his head to cover his mouth.
When he let go again, there was actually a little blood on his palm!
"emperor!"
Lin Wang exclaimed.
Emperor Wu vomited blood!
Emperor Wu has not been injured since he was rumored to be immortal. He has seen red and today he actually vomited blood!
Not to mention others, even Emperor Wu himself was confused.
"What's going on? I should be invulnerable and invulnerable to all poisons, so how can I vomit blood?"
"Your Majesty, please cherish the dragon body and don't be overly sentimental!" Lin Wang was so excited that he burst into tears and knelt down.
Emperor Wu was a little suspicious: "I treat Lao Wu like this? Is it because I am too sad?"
