Chapter 10: Invitation ((1)

Zeng Cheng appeared in the Qinzheng Hall, and many uninformed officials began to feel upset. It was said that officials of the fourth rank and above, including the fourth rank, are qualified to submit memorials to the emperor directly, but most of them were asked to submit memorials to the emperor on their behalf. Few Zeng Cheng personally submitted memorials to the emperor in this way. This has almost become a routine in the officialdom. This naturally made some officials with ulterior motives begin to feel anxious. They all looked up at the memorial, hoping that they could have a perspective and see what was written in it.

Dugu Tianpeng looked through some of Zeng Cheng's memorials, and angrily threw them to Li Yuanchao and said, "It's so shameless. There are such people in my Dugu Dynasty!"

Li Yuanchao carefully picked up Zeng Cheng's memorial, and just glanced at it, he burst into tears. Although this matter is known to everyone in the world, no one dared to bring this matter to the table, because no one can afford to offend the power behind Lian Teng, and the person he can't afford to offend is himself. Now this little, fourth-rank official Wailang, who is not very eye-catching, actually dares to face him. He is tired of life, and a trace of murderous intent flashes in Li Yuanchao's eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you need to check this matter carefully? I have also heard of it. I am afraid it is a rumor spread by those who are interested." Li Yuanchao said slowly.

Zeng Cheng made a list and refuted: "Zhao Ye Li, this memorial was not written by the Xiaguan, but written by the military advisor of Duanqingzhai. Will it be fake?"

Li Yuanchao instantly understood the purpose of Zeng Cheng's visit to Changfeng in contemporaries yesterday, and immediately made a plan and said in his heart: "Since it was the military advisor from Duanqingzhai, it has a certain credibility, but the court may not only listen to his one-sided remarks. It is better to pay back the matter to your Majesty and send a special envoy to find out."

Dugu Tianpeng nodded and said, "Li Aiqing said something. When someone comes, I will pass on my will and ask the Governor of the River to immediately send someone to take over Tengkongzhai and the Lonna Lianteng to Beijing to await trial!"

"Your Majesty?" Li Yuanchao was very anxious. Isn't this going to hand over all the power he had accumulated in the river to Cao Ruifeng?

"What's the matter? Li Aiqing." Dugu Tianpeng said with a smile.

"It seems inappropriate to lock Lian Teng on the Beijing without the truth." Li Yuan said.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Tianpan turned his eyes elsewhere.

Kou Tianyun naturally would not miss any opportunity to attack Li Yuanchao and stood up and said, "Suang Ye Li is just a subordinate. The subordinate dared to have a murderous intention to kill his superiors. He should have been severely punished. Now he is just locked into the capital, but it is just lighter. The minister believes that Your Majesty's decision is extremely correct."

"I'm going to discuss it!" Kou Tianyun's ministers all agreed, and Dugu Tianrui's royal family seemed to agree with the emperor's decision and followed. Li Yuanchao had no reason to object, so he retreated in depression, and scolded Kou Tianyun and Dugu Tianrui for their ancestors for eighteen generations.

The emperor has always favored Cao Ruifeng, and everyone has seen it. Li Yuanchao also knew that he had thought about this question more than once. Could it be that the emperor coveted Cao Ruifeng's beauty and wanted to include her in his harem? But this seems unlikely. First of all, Cao Ruifeng's identity must be considered carefully, but what is the purpose of his favored Cao Ruifeng? Li Yuanchao planned to go to court to plan with the think tank in the mansion after he went to court. This time, he might not be able to use his own power.

Fortunately, the eunuch who sent the order will set out tomorrow, and he still has time to think of a solution before.

Li Yuanchao suffered a blow today and was in a bad mood. From entering the mansion to returning to his study, he scolded all the servants he saw. This is great. When it was his turn to use people, no one was seen and they ran away, for fear that the master would be unhappy and get angry and suffer again.

The tea was cold, the room was cold, the ink on the inkstone was dry, and Li Yuan's energetic lungs were about to explode.

Min Wenze despised his loyal master a little. He was so happy and stubborn. He had no choice but to choose to surrender to him. In order to show his ambitions, he endured everything and planned for Li Yuanchao wholeheartedly. Fortunately, Li Yuanchao also relied heavily on him. So when he heard that Li Yuanchao was angry in the mansion, he immediately ran over to see what happened?

"Prince, why do you get such a big temper?" Min Wenze said inexplicably. He didn't know what happened in the court today, so he asked this question.

Li Yuanchao saw that his chief think tank came in, and his face turned a little better and said, "The emperor is going to attack us."

Min Wenze was also shocked and said, "What happened?"

Li Yuanchao sighed and said, "This morning, Zeng Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, submitted a report saying that Lian Teng and his men were attacking Duanqingzhai. The emperor issued an order to capture Lian Teng and come to Beijing to await trial."

As Li Yuanchao's chief think tank, Min Wenze naturally knew the relationship between Lian Teng and his master. As a result, most of the river would fall into Cao Ruifeng's hands. The loss was huge. He thought for a while and said, "Prince, why don't we move Lian Teng's men to Luohe?"

After all, Li Yuanchao was not an idiot. As soon as he heard this, he understood Min Wenze's intention and said: "Wenze means to unite these people and the Poison Dragon Gang, eliminate the Eighteen Cavalry of Luohe, and control the Luohe."

"That's right." Min Wenze smiled.

"Okay, just do it this way. Wenze is indeed very intelligent and solved a big problem in his true nature." Li Yuanchao became excited. Although the Luo River is not as busy as the Xinyue River, it is also a place to make money. If he controls the entire Luo River, he may be able to control the canal transport of the Dugu Dynasty. This will greatly increase the interests. The Poison Dragon Gang can only swim in shallow water, and the Tengkong Village will be different. They are all river pirates who have lived on for many years. If he sends people to control it and moves secretly, maybe it is possible to build a navy nearby. When he thinks of this, Li Yuanchao completely forgot the interests of the Xinyue River.

Next, after some detailed planning, Li Yuanchao sent a secret spy to Tengkongzhai overnight to contact his son Li Xianlong, who was in Tengkongzhai.

Zeng Cheng's actions made everyone in the three parties suspicious of him. Zeng Cheng obviously found that there were more spies surveillance in his mansion, but he didn't have to worry. The emperor would not contact him for the time being. He temporarily transferred the intelligence collection task to the Black Hawk Guard. As long as he was careful, he would basically not reveal his true identity.

The dispute over the throne had just begun. The originally harmonious harem of Dugu Tianpeng began to have a strong sense of fire. The action of competing for favor made Dugu Tianpeng dazzled. Anyone with the identity of a concubine in the harem began to move. All the masters who were rarely seen in the harem came out all at once. When the emperor walked there, there were their shadows there, and the advantage of having offspring was greater, so the palace also began to form gangs. Among them, Li Yanyan and Concubine Li were the most powerful. She was originally in charge of the harem and gave birth to a seventh prince. She was deeply favored by the emperor. She was also very glorious and had the highest call for the queen. The rest were the mother of the fourth prince, Zheng Concubine Zheng, and there was also a lot of support. A smaller one, the mother of the fourteenth prince, Concubine Yan, also called for a lot of hope. The rest were basically hopeless.

The mother of the fourth prince, Concubine Zheng, was originally a palace maid who served Dugu Tianpeng. After Dugu Tianpeng became the prince, he accepted it as a concubine and never gave birth to another son. Later, Dugu Tianpeng ascended the throne and became the emperor. Feeling that she took care of the Nian, he was named the imperial concubine. He was the most pitiful and powerless among the several concubines, and there was no support in the court. Therefore, the possibility of her ascending the position of the queen is very small unless the emperor insists on his own.

Concubine Yan, whose father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Dugu Tianpeng favored her, because she was afraid that Li Yanyan would have too much power in the harem, and hoped that her father could restrain Li Yuanchao. He has done well in recent years and has always grasped the financial power of the Dugu Dynasty. Yu Dugu Tianpeng's original wish was a little smaller, and it would be good to have such achievements with his talent and intelligence. In addition, Concubine Yan is young and is only twenty-six years old this year. In comparison, Li Yanyan is already thirty-eight, and the possibility of Concubine Yan ascending to the throne is not small. However, Concubine Yan seems to be not so keen on power. Since entering the palace at the age of sixteen, in addition to the emperor's favor, he has been chanting scriptures in his small Buddhist temple in his palace, and is one of the quietest people in the palace.

Jiada was quite efficient in his work. In one day, dozens of craftsmen were gathered in the capital. Shui Ningxin simply became the boss and handed over the financial power to him, allowing him to deal with it.

Now five days have passed, and Changfeng’s memorial was presented. I don’t know what the result was. Zeng Cheng never came to find him. The girl who was chasing him and wanted to see him did not appear again. It was nothing. Instead, he met many talented men from the capital with Du Xiang, and he talked about his writing every day, becoming good friends with Du Xiang.

In another three days, the first-hand repaired yard in Du Mansion will be available to move in, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Shui Ningxin, who brought jewelry, was even more amazing, but she only showed her shy daughter shape in front of Changfeng. She looked cold outside. In a few days, she became the title of cold fairy. Unknown, and none of the Dengtuzi who came forward to tease her had a good end, resulting in a serious shortage of drugs for treating fractures and bleeding in the Beijing pharmacy shop. The fifth princess Dugu Qian, who is famous for catching up with the current emperor.

After such a fuss, Shui Ningxin's identity was quickly revealed by those who were interested. For a time, the number of people in the martial arts world in Changfeng's inn increased dramatically. They all came to see Shui Ningxin with fame. Some came with a glimmer of hope. It is rumored that Changfeng only had two fiancées, one was Duan Caiyan, the princess of Dian Kingdom, and the other was Cao Ruifeng, the governor of the river. Shui Ningxin's plan was just a sister of two women, and he was probably just going to Beijing with him. Maybe he still had the chance to hunt the descendant of the sword tomb. The legendary heart of the third beauty in the martial arts world will be developed by then.

"Lord, someone has sent you an invitation!" Guo Huai smiled and walked into Changfeng's room with a big red envelope.

Changfeng took the envelope suspiciously and said, "We don't know anyone in the capital, who would invite me?"

"You lord will tell if you look at it." Guo Huai said with a smile.

Changfeng opened the envelope, looked at it with a glance and said, "What did he ask me for?"

"Who invited the lord, it's so mysterious?" Guo Huai naturally wanted to know who wrote the invitation.

"Look at it." Changfeng handed over the invitation.

"Kou Xiping?" Guo Huai read out the name of the person on the invitation.

The name Kou Xiping is Changfeng, the leader of the four young masters in the capital, is still above the prince Dugu Changsong. It can be seen that he is not an ordinary person. Du Xiang, who is ranked at the end, is so powerful. However, Li Xianlong, the third person, seems not so competent, but it seems that he is not very bad. However, he is ranked above Du Xiang, and Changfeng is so unwilling to agree.

"Where is it?" Changfeng asked suddenly.

"Baihua Tower." Guo Huai looked at the invitation in his hand and replied.

The witty light flashed in Changfeng's eyes and said, "Go, Guo Huai, please accompany me. Changfeng wants to see what purpose this Kou Xiping has?"

"At the invitation, let the lord and his wife go with you. Will the lord bring the two wives over?" Guo Huai asked.

Changfeng laughed and said, "They want to meet Changfeng's wife. Let Changfeng bring his beloved woman to them for an invitation. How can such a cheap thing be done!"

"But the purpose of their lords seems to be aimed at the two ladies." Guo Huai scanned the invitation and said.

Changfeng said: "How can I not know about this? But I don't want Xin'er and the others to have too much contact with these people. Besides, Xin'er doesn't like such social engagements, so I can't force her."

In fact, it was not the two wives who Kou Xiping wanted to meet Changfeng. The person he really wanted to meet was the fifth princess Dugu Qian. Kou Xiping was deeply affectionate with Dugu Qian, and everyone in the capital knew it. However, Dugu Qian didn't seem to like this young master Kou who was so talented that the world-shaking talented one. The royal family had a routine that the family could not marry two princesses. Now that the boss of the Kou family has married the eldest princess, Dugu Qian seemed to have no chance to marry into the Kou family, but Dugu Qian was the emperor's adopted daughter, which gave Kou Xiping a glimmer of hope. Therefore, he never refused his request to Dugu Qian. Even if Dugu Qian wanted the stars in the sky, Kou Xiping would agree without hesitation.

"Brother Kou, do you think he will come with his two ladies?" Dugu Qian looked at the carp that was fighting for food in the pond, and said sadly.

Kou Xiping looked at Dugu Qian with pity and said, "Princess, his wife's identity may have a high status in the world, and he may not buy the accounts of us officials. Princess should not have much hope." Kou Xiping did not directly tell Shui Ningxin's identity. In fact, he also doubted whether Shui Ningxin followed Changfeng. He only had Dugu Qian in his eyes, and the other women seemed to care less.

"It doesn't matter, just come." Dugu Qian murmured quietly.

Kou Xiping was shocked when he heard this. He didn't understand this sentence. He really should have committed suicide by jumping into Yanhu. Dugu Qian's words were obviously moved by Changfeng, which he could never allow.
