Chapter 97: Bite Back (Part 1)

Sacrifice to heaven and earth, worship the ancestors of the Zhu family. I don’t know where Zhu Yuanzhang has troubled them, but they all have a good halo, although Zhu Yuanzhang himself was just a beggar monk. Then, naturally, the grand ceremony of ascension to the throne was grand. Standing on the city tower at the gate of the palace, Zhu Yunmin, wearing an emperor's robe, proudly looked down at the thousands of people and court officials in front of him, slowly, in an extremely solemn voice, recited the draft drafts that had been drafted twenty days ago in a word.

The people kowtowed like garlic, and shouted long live the mountain. The civil and military ministers also looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile or a nervous expression. The ministers who used to support Zhu Yunwen ascend the throne knew in their hearts that the price they paid would be rewarded. The ministers who supported Yan King Zhu Di to take over the throne or supported other princes were nervous, not knowing what kind of shoes this newly ascended emperor would wear for him. The best result was to step down, which was better than being confiscated by the Jinyiwei to exterminate the clan.

Li Feng, who was kneeling behind Zhu Xi, grinned and complained: "Damn, is this boy emperor still over? Just talk nonsense, will it take so long to talk? Why don't you think about it? My thighs are still green and purple everywhere? Kitten, you're too heavy."

The kitten, who was kneeling on the ground and half a body higher than the person next to him, lay on the ground and yawned: "That was what you begged me to beat me, Fengzi. Oh, why did this emperor talk endlessly? I, I'll sleep for a while." After that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the ground. Li Feng rolled his eyes so angry that he rolled his eyes. Who is the kitten? Tiger spirit. Sleeping on his lying on his lying on his tiger like this is his true nature, so he naturally doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. Li Feng wanted to do this, but he felt uncomfortable. It was really too embarrassing to sleep on the ground with his butt raised up and lying on the ground to sleep like this.

Listening to the sound of the nearby people like tsunamis, Li Feng could only sigh: "Oh, it's better to be a monster... Murong, how long will it take for this emperor to say nonsense?"

Murong Tian held his hands weakly and shook his head repeatedly: "No matter how long he will say, we as ministers will kneel down, right? But I'm surprised, why didn't Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru show up? Although their wealth foundation was almost emptied by you, their disciples ascended the throne. They always have to come forward for such a big thing? Hehe..." A very strange smile appeared on Murong Tian's face.

Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru did appear at the throne ceremony. They got up early in the morning a few days ago and followed the team to thoroughly handle Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral. Then the time for selection was to be the emperor. Zhu Yunwen should go on stage to be the emperor. This is their apprentice, and the apprentice is to be the emperor. Can they not appear as teachers? They will be the dignified emperor teacher in the future, then, that is, the person who calls the wind and rain, stomp his feet, and trembles all over the Ming Dynasty.

But they felt very ashamed and dared not appear at the ceremony. It was not that the daughters of the two families went to the wrong room, nor that there was something extra gold and silver in their jewelry box for no reason. Everyone in the world knew that it must have been framed by others. The only thing that made them both feel embarrassed to appear in front of their colleagues was mainly Huang Renshan's affairs. The good things that Huang Renshan did made Huang Zicheng's reputation turn into a painting cake.

Fang Xiaoru, who even supported Huang Renshan as a kind and simple young man, was snatching his old wife and mother from the yard of the peddler with tears on his face, Fang Xiaoru looked at Huang Renshan and fainted. This scene was widely publicized by Eunuch An's people in the court, which made all the ministers look at Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru differently. The Minister of Justice did not give face and rushed to the Ministry of Personnel and dismissed Huang Renshan with a document.

If this had already made Huang Zicheng, who had passed on the family, completely lost his face, Zhu Yunmin's subsequent edict made Huang Zicheng feel that he could not step down. After Zhu Xi and the other two cried and begged for a cup of tea, Zhu Yunmin immediately ordered that Huang Renshan, who bullied the market and put down the kind people, not only would he have to return the "Broken Jade Sword", but also compensate the Yan Prince's Mansion with 100,000 taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels were searched, and so many cash silver could not be found. How dare he use the silver that appeared in his family for no reason? Therefore, he could only ask Fang Xiaoru to raise a little, and then find some close ministers who were also miserable to borrow some. For Huang Zicheng's sake, the court ministers who were not very rich had emptied their official bags and gathered them up for hundreds, ten thousand taels. Finally, they collected all the silver and sent it to Li Feng and the others.

Only 100,000 taels of silver did he almost empty all the food money for the first-rank officials of the Ming Dynasty. It was because of this that Huang Zicheng felt that his face was dull and he had no shame to come out to see people. Fang Xiaoru and him were melons on the same vine. Huang Zicheng did not show up and was determined, so he naturally had to follow him, hide in a corner of the hall far away, and watch his most proud apprentice outstanding.

Li Feng, who was lying on the ground, hummed weakly, blinked his little eyes, looked at Murong Tian with his head tilted, and said, "If you want to come to Yingtian this time, you finally barely earned some capital. Those jewelry didn't spend money. Those nearly 60,000 taels of silver bills have already earned 100,000 taels of cash silver, which is not a loss. Even those jewelry have been made up for a long time. There are so many rich people in Yingtian Mansion."

Murong Tian didn't say anything. He always felt that Li Feng was so evil in his work. Ten days before Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, the group of Green Forest thieves recruited by Li Feng committed crimes wildly, which made the entire Yingtian Mansion complain. Some officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Governor's Office beat the sticks on their butts. Zhu Yuanzhang forced all the wealthy businessmen in Fengyang to Yingtian Mansion, but now it is a living cheap Li Feng, which also makes Zhu Xi and the others happy. Except for Zhu Yu's not very fond of gold, silver and jewelry, and only collected a few strings of diamonds, Zhu Xi and Zhu Ren's belt was filled with stolen goods. Zhu Ren even praised Li Feng's subordinates for being able to do it, which made others dare not say anything.

Li Feng moved his butt to make himself feel more comfortable. He laughed in a low voice and said, "If it weren't for the old eunuch An who sent us to help catch the thieves, hehe, I would have to empty the entire Yingtian Mansion. But that's not bad, then Huang Zicheng wants to fight with us? Now see how they fight? Hehe, his Huang family will first find a way to repay the tens of thousands of taels of silver and get the debt."

The old eunuch Yin beside Li Feng lamented in a low voice: "Old Eunuch An is a discerning person. Hehe, after we have caused him so many things, he will cover it up. Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru, have offended too many people. Oh, my father-in-law, my waist, if this edict to appease the people of the world was drafted by Huang Zicheng, I will curse him that the Huang family will not die well."

After reading the edict to appease the people for a long time, Zhu Yunwen said some passionate words according to her own wishes. She wanted to make the people in the world eat, wear warm clothes, spend money at home, etc. Although they were just some empty words, they still received cheers from countless people. All those who knelt on the ground and listened to Zhu Yunwen's words were difficult for these princes and guards in the royal palace. It was so uncomfortable. I don't need to mention it.

The man from the Ning Palace finally cursed in a low voice: "Children Yunmin, why are you proud of? If it weren't for the edict left by the emperor, you might not have been the emperor. I'm sorry..." He had been too much wine and his waist was already in pain, and he couldn't hold on at this moment.

He lay in front of him and Zhu Xi immediately kicked him hard with his feet, whispering: "Stop sound, where is this place?"

Zhu Shim grinded his teeth and looked at Zhu Yunwen standing on the palace tower. He reluctantly lowered his head. Not only him, but all the princes lying under him were all unhappy and disagreed with Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne. Although they had known for a long time that this matter was impossible to avoid, they deliberately did not think about this during the great mourning of Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that Zhu Yunwen has finally ascended the throne, they feel very uncomfortable.

Zhu Yunwen's father died early, and Zhu Yunwen had no prestige among these princes of the Ming Dynasty. How could he convince these princes? If we say that there is someone in the world who can shock these princes, then there is only Zhu Di, who is in Yanjing.

After a while, Zhu Yunwen finally finished speaking. He raised his hands, and everyone bowed three times and nine times again, shouted long live the mountain, and then stood up together. Many people had been kneeling for too long, and as soon as they stood up, they immediately lay down.

Zhu Xi and the others lined up in a neat row and went in to the palace to attend the celebration banquet. Li Feng hurried a few steps and said directly to Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu's ears: "The two high men, when they arrived in the hall, they had to wait for three patrols, and they resigned in front of the civil and military officials of the court and the princes. They said that according to the ancestral rules, the prince was not allowed to leave the fiefdom privately. Now that you have been out for so long, you have seen the prosperity of Jiangnan, and you should go back to Yanjing City."

After a pause, Li Feng glanced at the old eunuch An who was standing at the gate of the palace and said quickly: "When saying these words, remember to adapt to the situation and never violate Zhu Yunwen. Well, the second prince would better say that the military situation in the Northern Wilderness is urgent and he must rush back to the army to take charge. I think the new emperor has just ascended the throne, so the military information in these four directions is not dared to joke about it."

Zhu Xi grabbed Li Feng and frowned and asked, "What if Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru interfere?"

Li Feng smiled sinisterly: "In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, they are embarrassed to show up now, even if they are shameless, are they still afraid that what they say? Even if they want to say anything, they must consider the atmosphere today."

Zhu Xi nodded slowly, smiled at Li Feng, and walked into the palace. Zhu Yu patted Li Feng's shoulder heavily, nodded at him, shook his head slightly and sighed, looked at Murong Tian again, lifted up the front of his clothes, and strode forward.

Murong Tian finally pulled the kitten from the ground from where they knelt just now. There was a trace of saliva hanging on the corner of the kitten's mouth, and he asked vaguely, "Ah? I'm done with it? Let's find a place to eat. It's midday, and my stomach is so hungry." He touched his stomach, and there was a thunder sound in his stomach. The kitten himself muttered a little strangely: "I have become a humanoid, why is the appetite even bigger than when I became a tiger? This is strange. When I was a tiger, it doesn't matter if I didn't eat for seven days, just one meal is enough. Now I have become a human, eating three meals a day, and eating the same amount of tigers every meal, which is scary."

Li Feng walked over, took the kitten's hand and walked into the palace, and whispered: "Where are you going to find food? In the palace, we prepared delicious food for the celebrities around us princes. We don't go and eat it hard, but I'm sorry to the emperor who just ascended the throne. Hehe, kitten, you have to let go of your belly today, otherwise wouldn't that boy Zhu Yunwen be cheap?"

The kitten's eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed a few times. He was not polite, and rushed into the palace with Murong Tian and the others. Li Feng walked to the old eunuch An alone and bowed: "Duantai, the day before yesterday, he was taught by his father-in-law. As a native of the Ming Dynasty, he should serve the court. Hehe, the guards of the Prince Yan Mansion have not been idle these days, but have arrested a group of bandits in the martial arts world. I just don't know if my father-in-law is interested?"

Old Eunuch An raised his head, looked at Li Feng with a smile, and whispered: "Zhong, everyone else in the Yan Prince's Mansion is fine, you are the most vicious. My father-in-law, I sent someone to round up the people from the Baidi Sect, but there were actually some masters among them, and most of them ran away. However, I heard that they met a dozen guard masters who were stuck in the way, and those who were more than a dozen of them were knocked down by someone with a scent, right?"

Li Feng smiled and nodded repeatedly to compliment the old eunuch An: "My father-in-law is wise, so naturally he can't hide it from you."

Old Eunuch An touched his chin and smiled and said, "Little boy, I want to play tricks with my father-in-law, you are still a little short of money. My father-in-law, my Jinyiwei, has been a little short of money recently. The new emperor ascended the throne, so you can't spend this money indiscriminately. Many places need money. How about you get some money for me? What about the staff of the Baidi Sect? I will send someone to take it away when the time comes, and then find some time to catch them and they will be foolproof."

Li Feng looked at the old eunuch An with his eyes flashing, and sighed: "Dadfather-in-law, our Yan Prince's Mansion doesn't have much money."

Old Eunuch An looked around and came to Li Feng to whisper, saying, "Does your Yan Wang Mansion have a lot of money? I don't know. But, you kid is a rich master. Don't say, I didn't remind you, my father-in-law, but my father-in-law told me that when the three largest wealthy merchants in Yingtian Mansion were looted, you kid is not at the residence of the Prince of Hell. What did you do? The three wealthy merchants all hired a large number of famous martial arts masters in the mansion to take charge. Those little thieves would not have any gains at all. As a result, two people suddenly appeared and defeated the secluded masters. The total losses of the three wealthy merchants were worth about five million taels of silver, right?"

Li Feng was startled and shouted: "Father-in-law, we are all real people. Do you think anyone would give up so much money at home for nothing?"

The old eunuch An didn't say anything, stretched out two fingers and whispered: "I don't care about you so much, I'll give you two million silver notes to you. If you have any problems in the future, my father-in-law will help you."

Li Feng cried in his heart: "This old eunuch, I just sent a batch of bribes last time, and now I openly demanded bribes. It turns out that the more powerful the more powerful you are, the greater the." Touching his nose, Li Feng smiled: "Since my father-in-law said that, what else can the boy say? Just do as he said... Alas, this is the money I have saved so easily. Don't forget, when our prince said goodbye to His Majesty, you have to speak well for us."

Old Eunuch An laughed: "Well, don't worry." With a roll of his sleeves, the dozen huge silver notes handed over by Li Feng were immediately rolled into his sleeves. He smiled so hard that his eyes were almost gone, and he watched Li Feng enter the palace with a smile.

A Jinyiwei politician came over and whispered: "Dear, Li Feng, my subordinates are sure that they are the masterminds of Yingtian Mansion's series of robbery and theft cases. Why don't they arrest them?" He asked in confusion: "We counted that in the past seventeen days, a total of 347 wealthy businessmen in Yingtian Mansion were stolen. In the last three days, the three largest wealthy businessmen were robbed. The total value of the silver bills and treasures was exceeded 30 million taels. Daddy, do you think this...if we can squeeze out the silver?"

Old Eunuch An slapped the face of the slander and laughed in a low voice, "Baby, you really don't wake up... Who is Li Feng? The supervisor of the Prince's Mansion of the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the general of the King of Yan. Try to catch him? It would be strange if Zhu Xi didn't turn against him. If Zhu Xi and the others turned against him, they said that we were father-in-law, we would deal with them. Hehe, what would the King of Yan have to do?"

Old Eunuch An handed over a silver note, looked at the sky with his eyes squinted, and whispered: "You can take these silver to the boys, you have worked hard recently. We are opening the door to send the plague gods. Those princes, no one can afford to offend any of them... After these princes leave Yingtian Mansion, the world will be truly peaceful. Alas!"
