Chapter 314: His Royal Highness Su Wang

Chapter 314 The ordinary King Su

Of course, in order to deceive others, it was said that she went to the hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing. This is not uncommon in the upper circles. Some elderly ladies who are tired of staying in the mansion will go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to live for a month or so.

After all, what Feng Lisheng received this time was a secret decree, and he must not leak the news before the matter is completed.

However, what Shen Mingjiao and the others didn't know was that the carriage slowly passed by on the official road until it disappeared.

Where he left, an unremarkable black-painted flat-topped carriage was quietly parked.

The man wearing half the mask retracted his gaze, and the guard asked in a low voice, "My lord, don't you want to catch up?"

Ye Xiu didn't raise his head, his voice was hoarse and dry: "These are the people from Su Wang's mansion, they are all good players with one against ten, are they going to die with them?"

"That…"

"Send a few people to follow quietly in turn, and we will walk slowly behind, as long as we make sure where they stay."

The guards retreated respectfully, and Princess Xiyue leaned sleepily against the wall of the carriage, making a mocking smile:

"Master Ye is so sure that Princess Su is going to see His Royal Highness Su, if not, then it will be a joke!"

Ye Xiu didn't turn his head back, and said calmly: "This is not something the princess should worry about. The princess can just use your love gu to win over King Su."

Princess Xiyue turned her face away and said nothing, the carriage was driving slowly, this car was the most common and inferior from the inside to the outside, and she was getting more and more uncomfortable from being bumped. Can't help complaining:

"I have already inquired. His Royal Highness King Su has to go to the border for several months every year. According to the practice in previous years, he will return to Beijing in less than two months. We can just wait in Beijing. Why bother? "

Ye Xiu didn't bother to talk to him, and just said "this is the master's order" and she shut up unwillingly.

Ye Xiu's eyes were full of coldness, until now he couldn't figure out why that person sent such an idiot to do such an important thing when he clearly planned everything out!

…

Half a month later, an inn outside Jingzhou city. A group of men dressed as darts dismounted from their horses. The leader was a tall and straight young man with ordinary facial features.

Immediately, the second child warmly greeted him: "Is it objective to eat or stay in a hotel?"

The thinner young man on the side took out a handful of broken silver: "I want five upper rooms."

Xiao Er took the money with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, please!" He said while beckoning someone to help lead the horse.

It was Feng Lisheng and his party.

Feng Wu, who was also disguised, watched His Highness sit down at the table. Even eating is not as elegant and calm as it used to be, and he looks like a rough man.

He withdrew his gaze, and silently sighed in his heart that His Highness's ability to disguise has become more and more refined. If the princess appeared at this time, he would probably not be able to recognize it for a while.

However, what he never imagined was that even though his Highness was dressed so plainly, he was still missed by others.

Feng Lisheng finished eating a plate of sauced beef and drank half a catty of burning knife before standing up and striding to the guest room.

As soon as he opened the door, his footsteps slowed down. Although his face was still ordinary, his temperament changed instantly.

He walked to the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea. The cold water entered his throat, barely suppressing the burning sensation in his throat.

Seeing this, Feng Wu asked in puzzlement, "Why is your Highness so serious, anyway, no one here knows you!"

Feng Lisheng glanced at him: "Since we have to pretend, there is no luck."

Feng Wu shut up embarrassingly.

Feng Lisheng drank a whole cup of tea and asked him casually: "Where is the princess?"

"I heard from Shunzi that the concubine and her party have already passed Xiangyang, and they will arrive within two days."

In fact, they left the border more than a month ago, and first made a simple detour to Jiangnan in disguise, planning to secretly investigate corruption.

According to His Highness, this is for those who care.

After all, Feng Lisheng, as the supreme commander in the army, usually has people who secretly pay attention.

And what he is going to do this time must not leak out, so he made a move.

In this way, outsiders who don't know the situation will only think that His Royal Highness King Su is still staying at the border, while those who have been paying attention secretly will think that he is following His Majesty's secret decree to investigate the Jiangnan officialdom's salt administration-after all, it has indeed been reported that His Majesty intends to rectify The wind in the south of the Yangtze River.

The fact is that Feng Lisheng quietly came to Jingzhou with a few of his entourage as soon as the group of them arrived in Jiangnan, and those who stayed in Jiangnan were just substitutes.

After finishing speaking, she joked with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, I haven't seen you for so long, the concubine must have lost her temper long ago!"

Although I don't know what happened before, but those close to me know that before His Highness left for the border, he seemed to have offended the princess.

Mentioning this matter, Feng Lisheng couldn't help being a little embarrassed. But she glanced at him coldly:

"How's the news from Jingzhou going?"

Feng Wu straightened his expression, and sat down at the next seat: "We learned from our spies in Jingzhou that Mr. Shi Fan, the head of Prince Yu's mansion, is Nai Jing and a Jinshi in the first year. Their ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. The ancestors of the Fan family also had a chancellor, but they have long since disappeared. Mr. Fan is okay as an official, except that he loves to seize power. During his tenure, he had a lot of trouble with his colleagues because of taking power.

While King Yu has a cowardly personality, Changshi Fan is in charge of almost all the government affairs in Jingzhou, and he will only ask King Yu for instructions when necessary."

That is to say, King Yu was emptied.

Because some vassal kings successfully rebelled in the previous dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty carried out a strict system of cutting vassals on the original basis. The feudal king is no longer dominated by one state and one government.

Not only the army is tightly controlled, but the vassal king is nominally a state governor, in charge of state government affairs, and the imperial court will appoint a long history, named assistant, but actually a supervisor.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that feudal kings have no rights at all. As long as you don’t commit rebellion and don’t increase the corvee for nothing, except that you can’t leave the fief, you are still free.

Of course, the above is based on the fact that the vassal has the means to do so.

The so-called dragon has nine sons, even if it is the royal family, it is impossible to guarantee that every prince is outstanding. If you are really bad at government affairs or just like to have fun, you can't leave your large fief unmanaged!

In this case, the government affairs can only be handled by the chief minister, Shi. And the vassal king is only used as a mascot to eat and die.

Obviously, judging from the current appearance, King Yu's situation belongs to the second type.

Feng Wu continued: "According to the report of the spies who were placed beside the two, there was no secret contact between King Yu and Mr. Fan."

"King Yu is so cowardly that he doesn't look like a prince at all, and he doesn't like to go out of the house at ordinary times. His biggest hobby is raising birds. For this reason, he has built a Zhuangzi, which raises many rare birds. King Yu I will go there in a few days.

And in that Zhuangzi, we also had people in there. No abnormalities have been found so far. "

Because of Feng Lisheng's rebirth, Su Wang's Mansion sent many spies to Jingzhou, but there has been no major progress.

If he hadn't believed in His Highness from the bottom of his heart, the appointment would have thought that His Highness was deliberately targeting King Yu.

Feng Lisheng listened quietly. In fact, he had already read similar information. In the previous life, King Yu forced the palace nine years later.

If it is said that King Yu has no intention of rebelling at this time, that is even more impossible.

Forcing the palace to rebel is not as easy as simply using some conspiracy means, it needs to have enough strength and accumulation. In King Yu's situation, if he does not plan for ten or twenty years, he will not be able to attack the capital at all.

In his previous life, Shen Mingjiao's death directly plunged him into despair. After strangling Queen Yu again, he dropped everything and went back to King Su's mansion alone.

He pondered and said: "Since King Yu wants to do big things, no matter how concealed he is. Fan Changshi, who has been in contact with him all year round, can't be unaware! Didn't Camellia find out about that Hongyu? Keep an eye on this thread." ..."

Once the order was finished, it was getting late. The journey was hard, Feng Lisheng waved for everyone to go down and rest.

But the group didn't know that somewhere in this inn, someone was staring at Feng Lisheng... body.

…
