Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 40 Action
Zhu Youtang is looking for someone to investigate secretly. Zhu Houzhao doesn't know about it, but Zhu Houzhao can probably guess it. Of course, these things can't be hidden from those who are interested.That night, Zhu Houzhao heard about it when he returned to Xianyang Palace. The news had already been spread inside the palace, and obviously the outside world should also know about it.

It's just that the news spread that his father found Yang Peng, the factory owner of Dongchang. As for what happened, no one knows.

This news was told by Liu Jin to Zhu Houzhao. After looking at Liu Jin who was nervous, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, you are doing very well."

Since Zhu Houzhao beat Liu Jin last time, Ge Dan has been beating Liu Jin a lot these days, which puts Liu Jin under a lot of pressure.You must know that there are many eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao, and Gu Dayong and others are not fuel-efficient lamps. They usually look at humility, who knows if the other party has any small thoughts in his heart.

The eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao have already started fighting for each other at this time, because this represents the future power.

Whoever is the most favored by Zhu Houzhao now, after Zhu Houzhao came to power in the future, whoever of these eunuchs will be the most powerful, Liu Jin used to be the most favored, but these days there is a sense of falling out of favor, how can others be careless.Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this, and was even a little happy to see the success.

Naturally, it is impossible for Liu Jin to turn a blind eye to this. These days, he can find various ways to keep his favor. When his status is critical, he can't care so much about many things.

"This is the imperial palace!" Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "there are not many secrets in the imperial palace, whether it is the father's place or this palace, everyone in the world wants to know the emperor's secrets, even what the emperor wants to eat at night. These people want to know, let alone such a big thing."

Others may not know what Dad asked someone to investigate, but Zhu Houzhao knew it all in his heart, and Zhu Houzhao gave Dad this trick.

"Okay, don't worry about that, tell the people below to keep a low profile these days, let's do our business. Father has already approved a thousand households for me, you let people choose, let Zhang Wang Li Zhao and the others Let's go!" Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin, and then said: "You follow and keep an eye on it, don't choose a bunch of messy people to come in."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to choose a personal guard of a thousand households. This matter was not a big one, but it was not a small one either.

In terms of the number of people, this is not a big deal, but in terms of the status of the prince's personal guard, it is a big deal.Anything that involves the emperor or the royal family is no small matter.What's more, Zhu Houzhao is still the future prince. How can this matter be a trivial matter? Not many people want to arrange someone to come to Zhu Houzhao's side.

Some people have good intentions, some people have malicious intentions, some people want to curry favor with the prince, and some people just want to inquire about the news, these things cannot be avoided at all.

"Choose someone with a clean background. If I let Bengong know what you're doing inside, you don't have to go to the Huanyi Bureau, and you can go directly to Nanjing to be a clean army!" Zhu Houzhao said very powerful words in a flat tone, And it was very scary words, anyway Liu Jin was scared enough.

Liu Jin is very clear about her own state. If the errands fail this time, she will definitely go to Nanjing.

Although the crown prince's words are not imperial edicts, they are still solid words, especially for people like myself, in order to keep the crown prince's face, words must be counted.Liu Jin didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant will definitely handle the errand this time beautifully."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's do it, this time it's done, I will give you some rewards."

Both grace and power, the way of an emperor, Zhu Houzhao smiled as he watched Liu Jin walk away.

In the days that followed, Zhu Houzhao lived a very regular life again, practicing martial arts and reading honestly every day. He didn't go in the morning, but he still accompanied Zhu Youtang to review the test books at night.Regarding the matter of the salt administration, neither Zhu Youtang nor Zhu Houzhao mentioned it, and neither of them assumed that this matter had never happened.

But both father and son knew that this matter was probably just the beginning, and everything had to wait for the results of the investigation to come out.

Since ancient times, Huai’an has been very important. It can be traced back to the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. In 486 BC, King Fuchai of Wu excavated the earliest section of the Grand Canal in China—Hangou (that is, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Yangzhou-Chuzhou section of the canal) connects the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, and thus coexists with the canal, so it became an important area for the great powers to compete in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

The current Huai'an Prefecture governs Shanyang, Qinghe, Andong, Yancheng, Taoyuan, Suqian, Shuyang, Suining, Ganyu, Pizhou, Haizhou, including nine counties and two prefectures, covering most of the five cities in northern Jiangsu in later generations.The Governor of Water Transport and the Governor of Nanhe are stationed in Jiehuai'an. The Governor of Water Transport also often serves as the governor of Jianghuai, controlling the four prefectures of Huai (an), Yang (zhou), Lu (zhou), Feng (yang) and Xu (zhou) and Chu (zhou). , and (state) three states, the scope of jurisdiction includes the vast area north of the Yangtze River in the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui in later generations.

With prosperous business and outstanding people, Huai'an is naturally very prosperous. In the largest inn in Huai'an Prefecture, a group of people stayed in a low-key way.

The leader was a young man, about 30 years old, with a white face and beardless body, and a handsome figure. He could be seen as a rich man at a glance.It's just that this rich man looks a little weird, with some feminine looks, some people even started to bet on whether this is a woman disguised as a man, and some scholars even came up to strike up a conversation.

A group of people spent a lot of money and directly booked a large yard. They usually leave early and return late on weekdays, which makes people puzzled.

In the back house of the yard, the young and eerie young master was drinking tea. After hearing the report from the people below, the eerie young master waved his hand and said with a smile: "Send those people away, let's come here Don’t you know what to do? Tell them, we are from the north to do business.”

"Let the people below do it quickly, the godfather is still waiting in the capital! You all remember it for me, this time the errand is done, we will flourish, if it can't be done, none of us will end well. Give it all to me Get up, or I'll kill you before your godfather sends you off."

The people standing on both sides of this strange young master did not dare to be negligent, and quickly said: "Young master, don't worry, we will definitely handle things well, and we will definitely not let you down."

"Okay, let's go!" Young Master Yao Yi waved his hands as he said, as if he enjoyed his current status very much, and at the same time was very happy to be called a young master.
