Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 453 Expert

Although Shu Xiaoxiao was unconscious and didn't know why the emperor, Prince Yun and others were so anxious, many people were in a good mood.

Just as where there is sunshine there must be shadow, and where there is day there must be night, even the most powerful dynasty will have some bad apples. Serving the country and the people, or paying tribute to the court are not their intentions. Whether they study or practice martial arts, it is all to climb higher and earn the most. As long as they can live a better life, what does the life and death of others have to do with them?

They don't care about the suffering of the people. As long as they can get more benefits, what does a few untouchables matter? Even the entire dynasty is not theirs.

Before, the entire Daning was uneventful, with neither merits nor faults. It could be said that it had always been under their control. Although the royal family was powerful, they had also found a way to get along with Emperor Jingming. Although they could not say that they had made any merits, they definitely had no faults, and their lives were relatively comfortable.

But this balance was suddenly broken when they were not paying attention. At the beginning, it was saddles, iron shoes, and sweet potatoes. To be honest, although saddles and iron shoes are useful, most of the horses are still in the hands of the emperor. They may make money, but a few horses are okay. If anyone dares to raise a large number of horses, the emperor's first reaction would probably be that they want to rebel.

Moreover, once saddles and horseshoes were discovered, the first thing to be supplied was the war horses at the border. This was ordered by the emperor himself. With Prince Yun in the middle, no one dared to interfere in this matter, or else it would lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan. For a small saddle, fine iron was needed. Even if they wanted to intervene, they didn't have the fine iron, so the gain would outweigh the loss. They didn't take it seriously at all.

They thought the saddle and iron hoof were just accidents, but soon after that came the appearance of fine salt, sweet potatoes with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, peppers, and some kind of soap. These made them see the benefits, huge benefits.

Not to mention anything else, just fine salt, sweet potatoes, and peppers, as long as any one of them can fall into their hands, their family will definitely be able to move to a higher level.

Even if they couldn't take it for themselves, it would be no problem to have a taste of the meat. However, they didn't expect that the emperor had been on guard against them for a long time. Before, no matter whether the emperor was looking down on the national treasury or the private treasury, they dared to say that they looked down on it. After all, the imperial court was really poor, and they had many ways to be greedy.

In addition, the emperor's body was visibly weakening, and several princes were about to start fighting. Isn't this a godsend? They deserved to get rich!

But unexpectedly, the emperor's body suddenly recovered! He recovered! The man who was half buried in the ground crawled out of the soil, his body became stronger, his mind became clearer, and his methods became more ruthless.

The princes can indeed compete for the throne, but the prerequisite for the competition is that the old emperor urgently needs a winning heir, or the emperor tacitly approves it. Otherwise, because he is the old emperor, and due to the natural suppression, these princes really cannot escape from the emperor's palm.

With these things, the emperor became more confident. Anyone who dared to touch these would have his hands chopped off and the ministers' property confiscated. This simply scared people out of their wits.

Even though they usually have a good reputation in front of the emperor and seem to have a high status, they have no soldiers. Even if they have a lot of bad intentions, they are helpless when they meet the emperor who has a large army.

The emperor has always kept a close eye on military power, and the generals are all his confidants, so even if they are angry there is nothing they can do.

After the emperor recovered his health, his whole demeanor was different. He seemed ready to do something big, and then he started with them.

Although he was afraid, he was still greedy for such a big piece of meat because he couldn't eat it. If those things had been available before, the emperor would have taken them out long ago, and would not have waited until now. Since the emperor couldn't do it, why didn't they just find the person who discovered it first?

Maybe what they can give is not necessarily worse than what the emperor can give. As a result, they did find out. But the emperor gave a title and was accompanied by secret guards. This is the best treatment a prince can get, right?

They had no idea where to start, and the few times they took action, not only did they fail, but the emperor also remembered it and made things difficult for them. There were still several princes on the side. By the time they came to their senses and went to look for a few princes, the emperor had somehow brainwashed the princes and refused to cooperate with them no matter what, let alone the prescription they wanted.

No matter how much they wasted their words, they were unable to persuade even one prince. Now that Marquis Ye had left the capital and something had happened in the General's Mansion, the Emperor was anxious. No matter what the reason was for the Emperor's anxiety, they were just happy.

Because the current situation is very unfavorable to them, they all expect Kyoto to be in chaos. Although they don't want to be the first to come out, if there is chaos in the Emperor's or Prince Yun's places, they may have the chance to fish in troubled waters.

If the emperor were to neglect something and let them find these things, especially the method of refining fine salt, and the recipes of soap and essential oils, they would definitely make a fortune!

Either they can find something to hold against the officials in charge of these things, or bring them down, and then they can take over themselves, and then get promoted and make money, which would be the best thing.

In the past, the emperor was quite tolerant of them, but now it is obvious that he cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. Several important positions are held by the emperor's confidants, and they are also very anxious!

Some people even wondered if there was something wrong with the young lady of the General's Mansion. Although the Emperor valued her, she was just a young lady from the boudoir. Why would the Emperor post an imperial edict for this? Or maybe there were some secrets in it that they didn't know about.

After the previous missed opportunities, they are now very interested in the secret, with their eyes wide open, ready to take action at any time.

The emperor was indeed very angry at the moment. He had high expectations for Shu Xiaoxiao. She was also Daning's lucky star. If something happened, would Daning be in trouble?

He has also been inquiring about the situations of the other two countries. As for the matter of the longevity cream, they were not hurt because they had the lucky star. But the Tianlang Country did not have the lucky star. It was heard that the longevity cream had already spread to the Tianlang Country, and the situation in the future would be not good.

As for Daxia, it is not peaceful now because of that princess who can tam beasts. He is also preparing to provoke a war between the two countries at the right time. Only the fisherman can benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam!

Therefore, what Daning can do now is to conserve its strength and then take down Daxia and Tianlang in one fell swoop. However, Shu Xiaoxiao definitely plays a very important role in this. Not to mention other things, even in agriculture, if something happens in the fields, the Ministry of Agriculture is still helpless and only Shu Xiaoxiao can solve it. So when Shu Xiaoxiao gets into trouble, Emperor Jingming is not only anxious, he is simply angry.

Emperor Jingming began to clean up the court in order to unify the country. The court officials felt that his methods had become ruthless, and they were absolutely right. Ever since he recovered his health and learned about the existence of Da Ning Fuxing, Emperor Jingming felt that God was on his side.

Nothing is more important than his unification of the world now. As the saying goes, one must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies. For the sake of his goal, he will not show mercy to the court officials, even to the princes. So Lord Ye must not get into trouble now.

Although the imperial edict has been posted, Emperor Jingming is not very confident. After all, the imperial doctors in his palace are not just there to do nothing. If the imperial doctors can't find the reason for Shu Xiaoxiao's coma, can those folk doctors be useful?

Or is that destined person a doctor?

Or some expert?

Master!

"Master............"

Emperor Jingming, who was frowning in thought, suddenly had his eyes light up, as if he had thought of something, and quickly ordered: "Go, invite Taoist Qingzhu to come!"

Taoist Qingzhu is the disciple of the emperor's uncle. He knows the emperor's uncle's abilities. Compared with Master Wuyou, he is only stronger. If the emperor's uncle had not been determined to practice in seclusion, how could Master Wuyou have his current reputation?

I seem to have said before that I was here to help Fuxing overcome his calamity. Doesn’t that fit the current situation perfectly?

Lord Ye is saved!

The destined person should have been found!

Although Qingzhu felt a little awkward since entering the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, it was okay. After all, he was used to staying in the mountains before and was not bored at all, let alone now. He meditated and practiced martial arts every day, someone brought him meals every day, and he didn't have to do chores. It was much easier than in the mountains.

As for the tasks assigned by the master, he would just let things take their course. When the time came, he would be needed naturally.

Now when he heard that the emperor had summoned him and mentioned that the young lady from the general's mansion was in a coma, Qingzhu did not show any abnormality in his expression. When he saw the emperor, he slowly took out the treasure bag that his master had given him from his arms.

"Your Majesty, my master gave this to me. He said I would give it to you when you summon me."

Emperor: I am so anxious that I am getting angry, don’t you know how to come to my door?

These monks and nuns love to be mysterious. How can they appear powerful? Be careful when they are put in a sack?

Thinking of this, he quickly opened the brocade bag.

"Auspicious!"

What does this mean?

The emperor read the note in his hand over and over again. In addition to the two big words "冲喜", there was also a person's birth date and time below.

Combined with the current situation, the meaning is clear. In Lord Ye's situation, "bringing good fortune to the world" can solve the problem.

The problem is that he just happened to know the birth date and horoscope of his own nephew. Not to mention their identities and status, he was asked to send his cute nephew, whom he had raised, to someone else to bring good luck. Is he crazy, or is this world crazy?

Even if someone else wanted to bring good luck to Qinghan, he would still have to choose the person carefully, let alone Qinghan bringing good luck to others?

this..........

The son of the Dingbei Marquis was marrying someone else? Would it be fair to spread this?

He raised his head and looked at Qingzhu, who had a kind face. Well, this was probably useless. Otherwise, the matter of Lord Ye would have been a hot topic throughout Kyoto, and this little Taoist priest was still waiting to be summoned.

If it was an ordinary person who asked his nephew to bring good luck to someone, he would be merciful if he didn't take the person to the vegetable market immediately. But this time, the one who needed good luck was Lord Ye, the lucky star of Daning. In his heart, Shu Xiaoxiao's status was only higher than Yun Qinghan, so he was in a dilemma.

What is that? It is only for others to bring good luck to their family, but now......

"Come here, Prince Xuanyun enters the palace."

Anyway, Qinghan is going to get married, so it's up to him whether this will bring good luck or not.
