Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 367
Mao Cheng asked someone to open the door, and saw Liang Chuan, the accompanying guard.

"My lord, just now the admiral, Ding Guogong and others sent someone to bring a letter, saying that they set off with the emperor for the Han River to take a boat and prepare to go to Beijing!"

Liang Chuan replied.

"What? What emperor?"

Mao Cheng sat up all of a sudden, completely forgetting that he was still showing his chest and back, which was very indecent.

"It's the new emperor!"

Liang Chuan reminded.

Besides the new emperor, what other emperor is there?The adults of their family have traveled all the way, and they are probably so tired that their minds are not clear!
"The official enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, and all the procedures have not gone through. Why do you call him the emperor? He should still be a prince. He will only be able to go to the capital, formally ascended to the palace, and pass the main hall! This is true for the admiral and the prince. I don’t understand a little etiquette, so I’ll be late, and they’ll be called emperors, ridiculous! Ridiculous!”

Mao Cheng was so angry that his beard trembled.

Liang Chuan wanted to say that the last decree had already been issued, but thinking about this style of behavior, there was no excuse.

"My lord, they have been away for a while, what should we do next? Should we go back to Anluzhou City?"

Liang Chuan asked.

"They're all gone, what's the point of us going back to Anlu Prefecture! Hurry up, hand it over to Uncle Guo, we'll go to the Han River ferry immediately!"

Mao Cheng immediately got up and said.

But then the pain in his body made him cry out.

His old body couldn't bear the bumpy road along the way.

Liang Chuan arrived at the residence of his uncle Zhang Heling.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

The sound of retching inside made Liang Chuan frowned.

This one is younger than Mao Cheng, his stature is really bad!

I heard that some people thought that this uncle Guo was in poor health and suggested that his younger brother come to welcome the new emperor.

This guy even boasted that he is very strong, and he can control several girls in one night.

The result is fucking hollow wood, nothing!
Liang Chuan couldn't help but spit.

grandma's!
He groaned and chirped along the way, but when he got to the place to eat, he was picky and picky, and now he just couldn't get used to it and vomited.

"Damn it! What a lousy place this is! The food is too bad. If it wasn't for you, I would have suspected that they would have poisoned me! You idiots, you can't even serve someone, so what use are you!"

Inside, Zhang Heling began to scold directly, and what he said later was even more unbearable!
They are all words that derogate the current emperor and Xing Wangfu.

Liang Chuan frowned even more!

Relying on his status as the uncle of the country, this uncle of the country used to be lawless in the capital. Emperor Zhengde taught them a lesson, but with the protection of Zhang Tianhou, the uncle of the country still did not restrain himself.

Now that Emperor Zhengde is gone, this one still doesn't know how to restrain himself, and still regards himself as the uncle of the country, so he doesn't win at all.

Thinking about this person's outspokenness and Mao Shangshu's faultfinding, Liang Chuan regretted taking this job.

Fortunately, they and Gu Dayong were divided into two groups. If these two were to confront the current emperor, they would have offended the current emperor long ago.

At that time, it will be thankless for him to do this job.

Although the cabinet has quite a lot of power now, those old ministers are still in a group. If they are alone, especially them, once they offend the emperor, the emperor will clean them up, it will be too much to go around.

How to do this?
Even if they don't catch up with the emperor and the others, as long as they return to Shangjing, they will have their share of the credit for the pick-up.

If he brings these two to follow, maybe he will add trouble to the emperor. When the emperor is angry and blames him, he will also suffer.

He has to figure out a way!

……

"Liang Chuan, what path are you taking? Ouch! I fell to death!"

A rough path.

Commander Liang Chuanliang rode forward with his men and horses, and the groom swung his whip vigorously at the horses.

In the car, Uncle Zhang Heling and Shang Shu Mao Cheng rolled around in the car like a cylinder.

"Stop! Stop!"

Mao Cheng likes to think of himself as an elegant scholar, so he couldn't say Zhang Heling's rude words, so he just yelled to stop.

Finally, when they were almost exhausted, Liang Chuan motioned for them to stop.

"My lord! Thirty miles ahead is the Han River Ferry. I just heard from a passer-by that a team of officials passed by here more than two hours ago!"

Panting, Liang Chuan ran to the carriage of the two adults and shouted.

"Liang...commander...stop, stop...rest!"

Mao Cheng was helped out of the carriage by the soldiers around him. Just as he got out of the carriage, he sat on the ground all of a sudden, gasping for breath.

Zhang Heling vomited directly on the carriage, and a stench spread all over the surroundings instantly. Many people did not dare to cover their noses, so they could only turn their faces aside.

Grandma, this fellow must have been pulled into the carriage!

Liang Chuan was choked by the smell and wanted to vomit.

"Serving the doctor! Attending the doctor! Show Uncle Guo what's going on?"

For the sake of safety on the road, they took a doctor with them. Because the two were not in good health, the doctor followed them all the time.

Because of Zhang Heling's illness and Mao Cheng's back pain and he couldn't stand up, Liang Chuan had no choice but to order him to find an open space in a clean place nearby to set up camp and rest for two days before setting off.

When the two of them recovered, and when they arrived at the ferry, the boat carrying the new emperor's team had gone to nowhere.

……

The waterway from the Han River to Xiangyang is not smooth, but the advantage of the waterway is that it doesn't have to be so tiring.

During the time on board, the new emperor Zhu Houxi did not chat with Xu Guangzuo and Gu Dayong, and stayed in the cabin all the time, not coming out much.

Everything is passed on through Yuan Zonggao.

Anyway, this new emperor gives people the feeling that there are only two words: Gao Leng!

Xu Guangzuo had a private discussion with Cui Yuan, saying that when they arrived at Xiangyang, the next step was to ride through Henan to Xianghe Ferry in Hebei.

These big boats carried a lot of horses. It seems that there is no carriage. How will the new emperor travel by then?

"There won't be a guard riding a horse with the emperor! I see a guard with a little white face next to him who will follow the emperor every step of the way!"

Cui Yuan laughed and said, forgetting that he was also a little boy back then, so he was favored by the princess and accepted as a son-in-law by the royal family.

"I don't know, maybe I will buy a carriage at that time! Anyway, I just need to arrive in the capital to complete the task!"

Now Xu Guangzuo doesn't know why he feels that this job is really not a good job, it seems to be getting weirder and weirder.

Originally, they should have taken the initiative, but they were led by the new emperor along the way.

Thinking about Wuding Marquis Guo Xun guarding the city gate in the capital, and being entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Yang Tinghe, how awesome it is, and going all the way to do this drudgery by himself, Xu Guangzuo felt very uncomfortable.

As a family of meritorious service, their family is really declining more and more, and he got this job because of his relationship with those courtiers and his devotion to a lot of things.

A dignified family of meritorious service, now it depends on the faces of those people, even that Mao Cheng smacked his nose at him, fortunately he got rid of them, otherwise it would be really anxious!

Forget it, if you compare people, you will die, if you compare goods, you will throw them away!

As long as this errand is done safely!

The waterway is still convenient and fast. A group of people passed through the upstream for a while, and then went straight down the current, and soon arrived at Xiangyang.

Everyone packed their things and went ashore, preparing for the next land trip.

In order to be able to get on the road early in the morning the next day, it was too late that day, so I simply set up camp nearby to replenish things before going on the road.

Because they were also considered a secret trip this time, Gu Dayong and the others did not alarm the local officials, but acted in a low-key manner.

"Captain, someone outside heard that we are imperial envoys from the capital, and they brought something here, saying they wanted to see you!"

Gu Dayong and Xu Guangzuo had just finished eating when a soldier outside suddenly came in and said.

"We didn't alarm the magistrate, why would someone come to see us?"

Xu Guangzuo looked at Gu Dayong in puzzlement, and asked in surprise.

Gu Dayong's face was also full of suspicion.
