Sun Houpu looked at the extremely ugly handwriting scrawled like a dog gnawing on the paper. He felt more comfortable than drinking a sip of ice water in the dog days of summer. He immediately took a piece of reassurance and arranged for Dong Xing to go to the second floor to have tea.
It's not that he's afraid of how Zhao Zong'e might harm him, Sun Hopu, or how he might induce him. What Sun Hopu lacks most now is money. Back then, he fell into an obsession with money because of his family background.
After following Liang Chuan, I discovered that there are more important things in the world than making money.
He also understood a new truth, it turned out that making money can be so interesting!
People can change, and Sun Houpu had unknowingly undergone a qualitative change along with Liang Chuan.
He was really afraid that something might happen to Liang Chuan while he was being slaughtered in prison. Liang Chuan trusted him with his life, and even gave him the most precious whitening prescriptions. In just a few decades of life, brother Friends are often made in childhood. Who can make a few more true friends after entering the world of martial arts and life? It is almost impossible, right?
Dong Xing was not very particular about drinking tea, but he took away a lot of tea leaves. He also stopped watching the play on the third floor. Before leaving, he left a message to enjoy it again next time.
People like this who don't forget to take some private goods with them when they leave are generally disgusted, but Sun Houpu likes it the most. I am not afraid that you are not greedy, but I am afraid that you will not have enough money and salt. Only by asking for something can you have a breakthrough.
He personally sent Dong Xing one ride after another outside the Forbidden City, which moved Dong Xing to a point where his heart was filled with warmth.
"Master Dong must come to my building for tea every day. It's best to bring a few colleagues with him!"
Before leaving, Sun Houpu did not forget to give Dong Xing instructions.
Liang Chuan really has a way. Sun Houpu looked up to the sky and said with emotion, even if he got to the Palace of Hell, Liang Chuan would be able to bribe the kid and run to the underworld to report the news. .
There is nothing else. Liang Chuan is too familiar with this set of administrative operation rules within the system. There are inequalities everywhere. In the Ministry of Punishment Prison, it is usually the officials above who get the benefits. Sometimes the prison officers below cannot even drink soup. Why don't they seize this opportunity to drink soup?
Being an official thousands of miles away is not just about making money, let alone these subordinate officials who have no imperial establishment. If they have the slightest chance of corruption, their corruption will be even more terrifying than the officials!
If I can't deal with you, then I will deal with your superiors. In a dam thousands of miles away, there will always be one or two holes carved by ants, and a breakthrough can always be found!
Dong Xing took away a lot of good tea balls and was merciful. Sun Hopu naturally wrote a handwritten letter to Dong Xing and asked him to deliver it to Liang Chuan in prison. Sun Hopu even tentatively asked if he could be sent to the Ministry of Punishment Prison. Dong Xing immediately rejected the idea of visiting a prisoner. It was too risky and not cost-effective!
Liang Chuan received Sun Houpu's reply and immediately wrote another handwritten letter for Qian Daowei to send to Sun Houpu, asking Sun Houpu to be patient and give in and not to confront Zhao Zong'e head-on. This time he was imprisoned to investigate the case of embezzlement of imperial land. Although he left at the beginning Ding said there was nothing to do with him, but the procedures were all legal and compliant. He believed he would be released from prison soon, and he would make plans at that time.
Liang Chuan also knew that Sun Houpu was a businessman, but Zhao Zonge was not. He was a villain. Sometimes problems could not be solved by reasoning. When necessary, he might have to use fists to solve the problem. This would have to wait until he was released from prison.
This time, Liang Chuan's main supporter fell. No one had any problems with Liang Chuan, but Zhao Zong'e was sharpening his sword!
This kid has wanted to kill Liang Chuan more than once, but he has never been able to find a chance. Whether Liang Chuan is killed by an official or a mistress, Zhao Zonge's temperament will definitely not tolerate him as a thorn in his side.
Life and death only happen in a moment.
Liang Chuan had already thought clearly in prison. He would not delay his release from prison this time. He would take Yelu Chongguang and others when it was dark and stormy at night, sneak into the prince's palace and kill Zhao Zong'e, the bastard, and then withdraw everyone back to Qingyuan. What a big deal. Go to sea and be done with it!
Things seemed to have a slightly unusual flavor.
The days dragged on like this, but he still had not received the court's verdict against him. There was still a time limit for the criminal proceedings. This kind of criminal detention warrant did not even have an age. It was not a word from the government officials how long he wanted to be detained. Liang Chuan was in prison. Suffering for a long time.
People like Liang Chuan are the ones who have been named to death. Logically speaking, there is nothing easy to try for such people. Anyway, the accusations imposed are all unfounded charges, otherwise the Yushitai would have taken action long ago.
But it has been delayed for a long time. Why delay? Did the person who made the decision hesitate?
On the other hand, Zhao Zonge's behavior became more and more unscrupulous. His actions of those green-skinned scoundrels escalated from non-cooperation to vandalism. He added medicine to the dishes to hide cockroach hair. Sun Houpu was involved in many lawsuits every day, and even already Some people began to take advantage of Sun Houpu's personal safety. When he left the Forbidden City, there would always be some conflicts and accidents with unknown names.
Fortunately, these guys from the Sun family were all old people brought by Qingyuan. These people were so loyal that they couldn't even be bribed. They would loyally protect their master and protect Sun Hopu's personal safety in any situation. Otherwise, Sun Hopu would be surrounded by enemies. , surrendering is only a matter of time.
Zhao Zonge's pressing step by step made Liang Chuan, who was in prison, unable to bear it anymore. He was worried that Sun Houpu would not be willing to give up the Forbidden City and would incur unnecessary harm to himself in the end, which was not worth it.
Sometimes retreat is a better way to attack.
After receiving Liang Chuan's favor, Dong Xing and Qian Daowei now spent more and more time traveling between the Ministry of Punishment and the Forbidden City. They visited the Forbidden City every day. In the name of conveying messages to Liang Chuan, in reality they did not earn enough money. , but the two of them finally got the benefits and got things done. Except for sending Sun Houpu to prison for a visit, the other oral messages were passed on quite well.
On this day, Dong Xing and Qian Daowei were cooking tea balls sent by Sun Houpu in prison, and they chatted wordlessly.
"Prince Yong fell ill and died a few days ago. Now the official family has no heirs. Someone came up with these things again."
"What did you say?"
"Many people in the imperial court have written to ask the officials to find ways to create heirs!"
"Hey, this is really new. King Yong, the official king, is dead. Where can he create an heir? Is it possible to follow the example of Emperor Taizu and make his brother the prince?"
As soon as Liang Chuan heard this, he immediately rushed to the prison door and shouted to Dong and Qian in a loud voice: "Two adults, please tell me, what were you two talking about about establishing an heir?"
Qian Daowei said: "Oh, what a coincidence, there is no one around now. This pot of tea brought by Brother Pu is very fragrant. Come out and have a few cups!"
Dong Xing took out the key and released Liang Chuan. If no one was present, the three of them would have a plastic brotherly relationship, each taking what they needed.
Qian Daowei made a drink for Liang Chuan and vividly explained the matter of the officials' proposal to Zhao Zhen to establish an heir.
"The family of King Yong's newly appointed official is in grief. Who would have thought that these ignorant scholars would dare to incite the official family to follow the example of Taizu Taizong and force the official family to establish an heir!"
"But it seems that the official family has no heirs?"
"Isn't that right? This is the problem. Now the official family is in good health and there are so many concubines in the harem. It will not be a problem to have ten or eight sons in the future. However, these people want the official family to establish other people's children as princes. Why don’t you give away your country to others and curse the official’s family to have no descendants?”
"Old Qian, you talk too much!" Dong Xing glared at Qian Daowei. Don't say these nonsense. If you spread the word, you will be beheaded.
Qian Daowei quickly fell silent.
Liang Chuan asked: "Did the official family agree with the opinions of the officials and establish him as the prince?"
Dong Xingdao: "How can this be possible? Even a man can't agree to it. I heard that the official was so angry that his beard was blowing, and he fluttered his sleeves and retreated."
"Come on, come on, let's not talk anymore. What is happening in the Heavenly Family is not something that we, small people like Shengmi, can do. This tea is just right. Come on, try it quickly."
Liang Chuan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and drank the tea soup with a lot of ginger and garlic. He didn't think too much about the taste, but he was very excited inside.
Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.
Zhao Zong'e is pressing forward step by step, almost to the point where the picture is at a loss, and the situation has completely seen a breakthrough. Now Baiguan proposes Zhao Zhen to establish an heir. If the picture on the back of the legs is true, and if the direction of history is consistent, then, what happens next? His life is about to take a turn for the better, because the one who will be established as the emperor's heir will be Zhao Yunrang's son - Zhao Zongshi!
Zhao Zhen has been hit by all kinds of things one after another in the past few days, including the border wars and the loss of a child at home. Any one of them is a painful thing that makes people sleepless, and they all happened to him at once. How can I feel better?
The most disgusting thing is that these ministers can persuade him to establish an imperial heir at this juncture. If he had the energy, he would have dealt with a few thorns long ago, but now he has no thoughts at all and cannot fight against these ministers.
The shadow of Taizong's candlelight ax is still vivid in his mind. Will he also experience a coup?
Zhao Zhen's helplessness was in vain, because the landlords and bureaucracies did not want the glory and wealth in front of them to disappear no matter who became the emperor, because the struggle caused by coveting the throne was not as good as the peaceful transition of a royal child. Who should be the emperor?
Furthermore, his temper could not defeat those almost paranoid ministers. The final result must be that Zhao Zhen succumbed. Because of Empress Dowager Liu, he needed the support of the ministers, and it was impossible for him to do so because of something that was not completely without leeway. And completely fell out with the minister.
Zhao Zhen was helpless. He was only almost thirty years old now, an age when he was full of energy and strength. So these ministers decided that he would not be able to give birth to a son?
However, the ministers also told Zhao Zhen very well that if a prince is selected among the royal relatives in the future, if the official family has relatives in the future, they can just invite the royal relative out of the inner palace. This is also a logical thing, and Nothing wrong with it.
Liang Chuan is very familiar with this period of history. Although Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, who had the reputation of benevolence and righteousness in his lifetime, later had another child, he still could not escape the fate of death. Whether it was due to being tricked by someone or due to physical illness, he no longer had his own biological child. Son, that throne finally fell to Zhao Zongshi.
Once Zhao Zongshi ascends the throne, Dai Qing may become the ruler of the empire in the future. His father Zhao Yunrang's identity will no longer be what it used to be. He is no longer the down-and-out royal family, the bullied Zhao family. The legacy, but the real blood of the Tian family, leaped onto the branches and turned into a phoenix!
The 10% dry stock that he gave to Zhao Yunrang for free meant that Zhao Zonge was thinking about the future emperor's family's property. Thinking of this joint, Liang Chuan couldn't help but snicker. The unlucky Zhao Zonge, now that the trouble is getting worse, he will give Zhao Yunrang. The more deeply the father and son are offended, I'm afraid it will be too late for him to cry in the future.
