Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 059

In a blink of an eye, the next day.

For what happened last night, it seemed like an insignificant episode, which had no effect at all.

Afterwards, Xiao Luo arrived in Jiangzhou City smoothly. For this trip, what needs to be done was clearly planned, and there was no need for any extra work at all.

As for those who came before them, they naturally did a survey first.

On the third day after they arrived in Jiangzhou City to take care of the matter, they took care of everything and then turned back to Beijing.

Jiangzhou City, the gate of the city.

Those people from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce stood there, watching Xiao Luo and his party leave, Cai Tong, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, shook his head and let out a long sigh.

An important member of the chamber of commerce standing next to him said in a low voice, "President, this matter has come to an end. What the King Ding and His Royal Highness promised earlier has also been obtained. The president seems to be a little heavy? Yes? Don’t you think this is complete?”

Cai Tong shook his head and said: "This matter can end with such a result. Although we did lose a lot by cutting it, it is finally preserved. This Ninth Highness is completely an accident, which makes everyone unexpected. The existence of His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Second Prince, compared with the current Ninth Highness, there is already a fault gap."

"Gap between faults?" The important members of the chamber of commerce at the side were all a little surprised, "President, this is not enough, there is a gap in this step between us and His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness and His Highness the Second Prince are in the hall. It has been deeply rooted in these years, His Highness Ninth Prince only intervened in this situation, how could there be a fault gap? The president's judgment is because His Highness Ninth Prince is behind King Ding?"

"King Ding is indeed an existence that makes people invisible."

These important members of the chamber of commerce are all clear, and they are well-informed, but even if King Ding really does not interfere with His Royal Highness's involvement in the court situation, but not intervening does not mean not teaching. With King Ding behind his back as a military adviser, the world , who can count...

The imperial capital, the palace, and the imperial study.

Xiao Mingyuan and Ming Che sat opposite each other in front of the tea table, he looked at the person in front of him, and said with a smile: "These days, Prince Ding has come every day as promised, appeared here, chatted with me over tea, I don't know Do you know anything about things outside the imperial capital?"

Ming Che calmly drank his tea, and responded: "The emperor was joking, and this king has not left the imperial capital, so how could he know about things outside the imperial capital? Could it be that the emperor thinks that this king is a god, who can pinch and count things? , is it a no-nonsense strategy?"

"If you let me believe it out of thin air, I don't believe in the rumors of immortals and Buddhas in this world, but I have been in contact with you, and I know that things in this world may be far more complicated than imagined. Immortals are not immortals. Who knows, King Keding is right, at least in this world of the Liuyun Dynasty, you are indeed exhausted." Xiao Mingyuan said in a very flat tone.

"Your majesty really thinks that this king is too powerful." Ming Che smiled and continued, "Why, does your majesty already have news about Luo Luo's trip to Jiangnan Province?"

"Didn't King Ding know? Given how well-informed King Ding's subordinates are, I'm afraid they will know faster than me." Xiao Mingyuan said bluntly.

"Oh?" Ming Che looked at Xiao Mingyuan, "I don't know what the situation is, but this king is very willing to hear what the emperor has to say."

Xiao Mingyuan smiled calmly, but he was not in a hurry to speak clearly. Instead, he changed the subject and asked: "Actually, we all knew the situation of this trip from the very beginning, but right now, I don't care about other things. , even more curious."

"Although everyone in the world said that the emperor granted me the status of 'Ding Wang' back then, to tell the people in the world that this king has the effect of calming the sea in this world, and the world also said that even the emperor paid three respects to this king. But when it comes to rules, this king is always a subject, so the emperor can ask anything, is it possible that the emperor is still worried that this king will hide something from the emperor?"

"You have been with Prince Ding for so many years, that is, since you brought Xiao Luo back to Prince Ding's mansion, you have had such frequent contact with me. After calculation, the sum of the previous years is not as much as the past few months. Right." Xiao Mingyuan jokingly said, "On the way to Jiangzhou City, Xiao Luo encountered a wave of assassinations. There were nearly a hundred killers, all of whom were masters. According to reports from my people, the guards who escorted them along the way He didn't even make a move, he had one sword, except for the killer who he deliberately left to report to the person who sent the killer to assassinate him, the rest of them died under his sword in an instant, sealing their throats with one sword, such an ability, It's just unbelievable."

"It's just killing people, isn't it difficult?" Ming Che picked up the cup of tea in front of him, took a sip, and said to Xiao Mingyuan indifferently.

"It's easy to kill, but it's not easy to fight one against a hundred, and they are all killers who are proficient in assassination."

"Wrong, the so-called difficulty and ease are just the gap between the strong and the weak. As long as the strength is really strong and far surpasses the opponent, there is a difference between one and a hundred?" Ming Che asked back.

"The words of King Ding always make me unable to refute, but don't forget, King Ding, Xiao Luo is just an ordinary person, how much he used to..."

"What happened to him in the past, that was once, that everyone was blind."

"It seems that I am also the blind person."

"This is what the emperor wants to be seated on. This king doesn't mean that." Ming Che put down the teacup in his hand, "He is the most talented person in the world, and also the most dazzling person."

"Prince Ding has a really high opinion of him. It seems that the follow-up matters have already come to fruition."

"The emperor has a result with this king, but some people will not see that level."

Xiao Mingyuan sighed deeply, did not continue this topic, but changed the subject, and asked: "Prince Ding allowed him to be Princess Ding, and took him back to Prince Ding's mansion, so he valued him so much, but now Let him compete for the throne of the emperor, let him stand up as the Ninth Prince, does King Ding intend to stay by his side forever?"

"The emperor's words are testing?"

"Ding Wang thinks it is, that is."

"Your majesty doesn't really think that this king is a god, does he? Who knows what will happen in the future, what's more, even if he is really a god, he will be bound by the fate of the world, and it is impossible to do whatever he wants."

"It's as simple as I thought."

Ming Che stood up at this moment, "Let's stop here for today, the king will take his leave first."

Xiao Mingyuan didn't speak, but silently picked up his cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.

Eunuch Sun, who was standing by the side, saw this, and said softly: "Your Majesty, His Highness Ninth Prince has left Jiangzhou City and is on his way back to the Imperial Capital. After returning to the Imperial Capital, it means that His Royal Highness Ninth Prince is the real one." Yes... the servant just listened to the words that King Ding said, and he meant something, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince..."

"I know what you want to say." Xiao Mingyuan said coldly, "The former Xiao Luo was the one who was least seen, but in the end, he was the one who was destined to stand at the highest position. The shame on him, until that day, he will not let go easily."

"Your majesty, then you..."

"Since ancient times, those who become emperors have no blood on their hands. The emperor's family, such as father's kindness, son's filial piety, brothers and brothers' respect, are just compliments to the outside world after they have achieved the emperor's career."

Eunuch Sun is also clear, after all, he followed the emperor all the way, so how could he not know about this, he just stood quietly by the side and stopped talking.

Xiao Mingyuan immediately got up from the tea table, sat down in front of the dragon table over there, and reviewed the memorials presented today.

……

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Cheng was shocked when he heard the news from his uncle himself, "Uncle, what you said is true, all the killers sent by Xiao Luan and the others have been dealt with, Xiao Luo's side has gone smoothly. Arrived in Jiangzhou City, and is now on the way back to the imperial capital."

Liu Shuo nodded, "This news is confirmed, and naturally there is nothing false about it."

"Uncle, since Xiao Luan made a move, it must be the elite dispatched, so that nothing will go wrong. Could it be that Xiao Luan's people lost, and Xiao Luo's side, there is no problem at all?"

"That's the way it is now."

Xiao Cheng thought about it, and asked: "Uncle, the guards sent by the emperor to follow Xiao Luo to Jiangzhou City, although they are all good fighters in the imperial army, they should not be able to deal with such an assassination, right? Is it the people of King Ding who made the move?"

Liu Shuo shook his head, "Prince Ding's people didn't intervene. You know that these days, Prince Ding will go into the palace to see the emperor every day, and there is no one in the palace of Prince Ding."

"Is it possible that he was disguised earlier and has already followed the team?"

"That's impossible, even if it's a disguise, it's equivalent to Ding Wangfu announcing to the emperor that Dingwangfu has intervened in the court situation and broke the agreement with the emperor."

"That's not true, so how did they do it?"

"According to our information, one of the people sent by the crown prince returned to the imperial capital alive. Presumably, only those who accompanied him knew the specific details, and then, the one who escaped knew. If you fail, even if you escape back, it will be a dead end."

"Uncle means that only the father and the emperor know about this matter now, and then the crown prince himself."

"Well, that's right." Liu Shuo said in a deep voice, "like you, I am very curious about how they did it. If you want to know the specific situation, you can only do more research. I am curious about this. Someone came into the palace and told the imperial concubine that there is a noble concubine by the emperor's side, so maybe I can learn a thing or two."

"Uncle, tell me, will it have something to do with Xiao Luo himself?" Xiao Cheng didn't know why, but such an idea popped into his mind.

Liu Shuo was also silent for a while, and the two looked at each other, as if a certain speculation in each other's mind had been verified.
