Chapter 51: Four Lords
Rou Niang was lying softly in the carriage. Over the past few days, she had cried dryly and all her strength was gone. Two strong women held her on the left and right. As long as they made a little movement, they would
He would become so nervous that he would not even find a chance to seek death.
That night was like a nightmare, torturing her all the time. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see a grinning villain walking in with a sharp steel knife. Her mother-in-law stood in front of her, and then the knife was inserted without any hesitation.
She hit her mother-in-law's chest and her body was spattered with her mother-in-law's blood. She heard Yun Zhao's urgent shouting, but that was her last consciousness.
After waking up, she was in this carriage, speeding along, not knowing where it was going, but Rou Niang knew that she was heading south because she heard the accents of passers-by changing constantly.
The food that comes in the carriage is also very different from that in the north, becoming lighter and sweeter day by day.
But what puzzles Rou Niang the most is that every night when they stay, they stay in the inn of the official family. And every time at this time, the two strong women don't know what tricks they used, and they feel weak all over.
, unable to speak, he could only be sent to the room at their mercy. This kind of life was really worse than death.
The road is getting better and better. From being extremely bumpy at the beginning, it is now extremely smooth and straight. The road conditions are getting better and better, and the weather is getting warmer day by day. Rou Niang doesn’t know where these people will send her.
Where to go? But she knew that as soon as she had the strength, she would run back. Yun Zhao must still be alive. He was so strong and capable, how could there be an accident? So many beasts were killed by Brother Yun,
Those bad guys will definitely not be able to escape. Rou Niang comforted herself in her heart, but she disappeared. Where can Brother Yun find her?
Outside the car, Suo Wenhai let out a long breath. He could already see the towering towers of Shangjing City in the distance. His errand was finally over. When he handed people over to the Prince's Mansion, he must take care of himself.
Find a place to relax and unwind. During this journey, I am more tired than anyone else, not only physically but also mentally.
He was in such a good mood that he even walked to the car window and said to the inside of the car: "Girl, we are about to arrive at the end of the land. This is Shangjing, our capital city in Dai Viet. Compared with the frontier, it is not on the same par with its prosperity.
It's something you can't imagine. One day, when the girl becomes famous, don't forget Suo's meticulous service all the way!"
Rou Niang was shocked. It turned out that she had arrived in Shangjing, the capital of Dai Viet, which was nearly three thousand miles away from Lucheng. In the past, she had only heard about it from her father, and never dreamed that she would come to such a place.
For a moment, I felt extremely panicked. I had gone so far. How could Brother Yun find me? How could he have thought that he was thousands of miles away?
There seemed to be no plan in my heart, and tears fell from my eyes like broken beads.
"I want to go home!" she cried.
Suo Yuanhai felt the need to persuade the girl and knocked on the window. The strong woman inside opened the car window, and Suo Yuanhai's thin face poked in from the car window.
"Girl, do you know where you are going?" He was beaming, "It's the Grand Prince's Mansion. Do you know who the Grand Prince is? He is the eldest son of the current emperor, and the one who has the best chance of ascending to the throne of our country in the future.
As a person, once you enter the palace of the great prince, you will be worth a hundred times. If you are lucky and can get the favor of the great prince, then in time, all of us will kneel in front of you and salute you. Tell me, like this
Good things, where are you looking for them? Most people can’t dream of such good things, don’t you think so?”
"I don't want to enter the eldest prince's house, I want to go home!" Rou Niang had no idea who the eldest prince was. The more Suo Yuanhai said this, the more scared he became. His father once said that the waiting door is as deep as the sea.
, this great prince has a higher status than any other lord. If he really enters a place like this, he may never want to see his brother Yun again in this life.
Seeing that Rou Niang was living in poverty, Suo Yuanhai shrugged, "A country girl has never seen the world. I'm afraid she only knows what paradise is when she comes to the Grand Prince's Mansion and sees all the pomp and luxury."
At that time, you couldn’t even drive away, right?
"Girl, you are crying now. One day, you will thank me. Well, don't cry anymore. If you really enter the prince's palace, if you still cry like this, you will make those big shots unhappy. You are really
That's terrible!" Suo Yuanhai said. He waved his hand and ordered the strong woman to close the window, urging the carriage to go faster, so that she could arrive in the capital earlier and finish her work earlier.
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, and the shouts of giving way came from time to time. Suo Yuanhai turned around, looked at the flag guard, trembled, and said quickly: "Hurry, drive the carriage to the roadside.
, let the people behind go through first."
The group of people moved to the side of the road and stopped.
First, dozens of knights in bright armor rode past, and then several carriages followed. Beside the carriage, a young man in gold robes, jade belts, and a crown rode on a pure white horse.
, accompanied by the carriage coming slowly.
"Fourth Prince!" Suo Yuanhai was shocked. He didn't expect that he would meet the Fourth Prince here. Judging from their posture, it seemed that the Fourth Prince was returning from an outing in the countryside with his family.
The fourth prince, Li Xiao, was twenty-eight years old at the time. Among the twelve sons of His Majesty the Emperor, he was a very capable person. He was now in charge of the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishments. He was the eldest prince Li Jianzui who Suo Yuanhai worked for.
A powerful competitor. He is also the person most likely to compete with the eldest prince for the chair. The eldest prince Li Jian is thirty-six years old and is in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. Both of them are the most useful to the emperor.
Everyone has his own team, and each has a large number of people to support him in the court. As the emperor's physical condition worsens, this competition has now reached a fever pitch.
Suo Yuanhai lowered his head, not daring to look up. Although outside, he was majestic and many local officials were fawning over him, but to these people, he was just a lowly servant. One word was enough.
You can decide your own life or death.
Li Xiao was not in a good mood. This was mainly due to the fact that he had fallen behind in the competition with his eldest brother in the recent period. First, the fiscal revenue of the Ministry of Household Affairs had been declining year after year, and the national finance was stretched thin. Yin was struggling to get enough food, which made his father very unhappy. Then,
It was Wang Lin, the deputy prime minister who was close to him, who was caught by his eldest brother and forced to go out. A series of blows made him a little depressed. The power in the DPRK was rising and falling, and he was a little bit frustrated as he continued to suffer.
The grass on the wall began to sway, and within this period of time, several ministers of the court who had originally favored him turned to his eldest brother.
In a bad mood, he took the princess and her family for an outing in the countryside to relieve the depression in his heart. At the same time, he calmed down and thought about the countermeasures. The problem of Hubei Jihe could not be solved overnight, and Wang
Lin himself was indeed up to no good, and this was the reason people took hold of him. Both of these things were irreversible, but to save the situation, it was not just about making some achievements, as long as he could catch his eldest brother
No matter what kind of handle you have, you can still win the game.
Thinking about his worries, Li Xiao was a little distracted, but his eldest brother had always been very secretive and cautious in doing things. It was really difficult to catch any mistakes.
But Li Xiao doesn't believe that his eldest brother is clean. In fact, in their position, no one dares to say that he is clean. The question is, where should he start?
Li Xiao was lost in thought when a familiar figure suddenly passed by the corner of his eyes. He was startled, stopped his horse, and turned to look at the somewhat familiar figure.
