Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Wang Lu stood beside him, frowning slightly.

"Why does the Prince of Xin'an want your lord's calligraphy?" Wang Lu asked suspiciously.

Ji Yuanchen concentrated on writing, "Why, do you think the old man's pen and ink can't handle it?"

"No, no, my lord's calligraphy is unmatched in the past and present, and no one can match it except Master Yan." Wang Lu flattered quickly.

Ji Yuanchen put away his pen, looked at the handwriting on the paper, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't flatter the old man, the old man is still far behind Master Yan."

"As for Prince Xin'an! Hehe, he is a cunning little fox."

Wang Lu's expression moved slightly, "What's the point of him wanting this calligraphy?"

"The debt of favor is the hardest to repay!" Ji Yuanchen put the brush on the pen holder and shook his head helplessly.

"Sending this calligraphy means that we are asking him for help."

Wang Lu was slightly taken aback, and then his face became gloomy.

"This king of Xin'an County is too arrogant!"

"He actually still wants the favor of an adult!"

Ji Yuanchen blew on the wet ink, "He is not arrogant, but confident."

"We were wrong from the very beginning! Not only us, but all civil and military officials in the court were wrong"

"Everyone thinks that the town's military commander is a hot potato, and no one dares to take over, but this town's military commander has become a sharp sword that can kill people in the hands of King Xin'an."

"This sword is extremely sharp, and it is still hanging on the head of Wenwu Manchu."

Identity, strength, power, the combination of the three can create a real power holder.

Without identity, only strength and power, like a rootless duckweed, it can only float with the waves.

Having status and power, but having no strength means being strong on the outside and doing nothing but showing off.

The previous king of Xin'an only had the status of the emperor's grandson, so he was just a transparent person.

After taking over Zhenwusi, the king of Xin'an County began to grasp the power, but unfortunately his strength was too weak and could only be slaughtered by others.

But now Qin Wei has status, strength, and power that can make most people afraid, and this has made Zhenwusi what he is today.

"Zhen Wusi has become a big trend in the capital, and it is unwise to fight against it. As long as the king of Xin'an County is willing to live in peace with the court, what if the old man owes him a favor?"

Ji Yuanchen said softly.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he must be responsible for the stability of the court.

Zhen Wusi has already won a minister of Dali Temple, if he wins another official such as Shangshu or Shilang, the civil servants in the court may not be able to sit still anymore.

If the court is in chaos, Dali will be in chaos.

So he must ensure that the court will not be chaotic.

Wang Lu was still a little dissatisfied, but he didn't think of any way to restrict Zhenwusi, after all, Zhenwusi had Li Huang's support.

the next morning.

As soon as Qin Wei came to Zhenwu Division, he received a calligraphy sent by Jifu.

When the calligraphy is unfolded, it is a pair of exquisite calligraphy, with more than a hundred characters in it, such as a group of giants playing in the sea, dancing cranes swimming in the sky, and the brushstrokes are flowing like clouds and water, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Good word!"

Looking at the handwriting on the paper, Qin Wei couldn't help admiring.

What is written on the calligraphy is a poem of this world, called "Wu De Fu"!

Whether this Fu is good or not, Qin Wei is not qualified to comment, because the reign title of Lihuang today is obtained from it.

What Qin Wei valued was the final signature of the calligraphy.

West Park!

Xiyuan is a small courtyard located in a folk square in the west city of Kyoto.

When Ji Yuanchen came to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, he rented this yard. Later, Ji Yuanchen bought the yard after he was named on the gold list. After that, he lived in the West Garden for more than ten years.

When writing letters with others, he referred to himself as Xiyuan, and as Ji Yuanchen became more and more officials, many people called him Mr. Xiyuan.

To put it simply, Xiyuan is Ji Yuanchen's pen name.

"Xiao Shunzi, ask someone to frame it and put it in this king's study, maybe it will be used in the future."

Qin Wei ordered.

Qin Wei doesn't care about the value of this calligraphy, what he cares about is the favor owed by Ji Yuanchen.

Well, this calligraphy is an IOU.

The favor of the chief minister of the current dynasty is still very precious.

As for whether Zhen Wusi should restrain himself, in fact, Qin Wei had already planned.

Zhen Wusi has been tossing around in the capital for so long, and even Cheng Guogong has been cleaned up by him. Those nobles and official families have already understood that Zhen Wusi should not be provoked.

As for the martial arts forces around the capital, after Xinyizong surrendered, they have completely quieted down.

Now Zhenwu Division has become a major trend in Kyoto, there is no need to continue to toss, Qin Wei is already preparing to transfer Zhenwu Division's power outside of Kyoto.

That is Tianzhou!

Tianzhou is the biggest test that Zhenwusi will face in its development.

If you want to deter the martial arts in the world, you must first deter the martial arts forces in Tianzhou.

If the martial arts forces in Tianzhou cannot be deterred, then everything Zhenwusi does will be in vain.

As long as the martial arts forces in Tianzhou are deterred, all the martial arts forces in Dali Thirteen Prefectures will succumb to Zhen Wusi.

Now that he had already planned to send Zhenwusi out of Beijing, Qin Wei naturally didn't want to entangle with the officials in the court.

At this time, Ji Yuanchen came to intercede, and Qin Wei was willing to be a favor.

Chapter 52 Confiscating the family and becoming the Duke's mansion

"Meet Your Royal Highness!"

At this time, Wang An came to worship.

Qin Wei nodded slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, do you have something to do with me?"

"The old slave did not complete what His Royal Highness ordered the old slave to do, so please punish him!" Wang An bowed his head.

Qin Wei was taken aback, and asked, "What did this king order you to come?"

He didn't remember what he told Wang An before, but he just asked Wang An to be in charge of contacting the Imperial City Secretary.

"It's about looking for Xuanhuang, the ancient sword gate." Wang Andao.

Qin Wei slapped his head and suddenly remembered this matter.

It's no wonder that he has a bad memory. At that time, he just wanted to meet Xuan Huang and learn about the ancient sword gate on a whim, so he ordered Wang An to find Xuan Huang.

Afterwards, because of the affairs of Cheng Guogong's mansion, he left it behind.

If Wang Anlai hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about Xuan Huang.

"Has he left the capital?" Qin Wei asked.

"Well, the people from the Huangcheng Division found their whereabouts yesterday, but they knocked out the people from the Huangcheng Division and ran away!" Wang An explained.

After seeing what happened to Duke Cheng's mansion, Ding Ruoheng and Xuan Huang were like frightened birds. They wished they could fly out of the capital immediately, and they didn't want to see anyone again.

So after they saw the people from Huangcheng Division, they ran away without saying a word, and they didn't give the people from Huangcheng Division a chance to speak at all.

"Are the people from the Imperial City Division all right?"

"It's okay, the other party didn't hit hard." Wang Andao.

Qin Wei nodded thoughtfully.

"The monks can't run away from the temple if they can run away. They can run away, but Gu Jianmen can't run away!"

"Forget it, wait for this first, you go to the Imperial City Division to borrow the dossier of the Tianzhou Zongmen."

Zhen Wusi will go to Tianzhou next, but before going to Tianzhou, Qin Wei must first find out the situation of the sect forces in Tianzhou.

As for Xuan Huang and Gu Jianmen, since they met once, they might get close in the future.

That's right, Qin Wei wanted to get close to Gu Jianmen, but it didn't matter whether Gu Jianmen was willing or not.

Time flies!

The ransacking operation of the Chengguo government lasted for half a month.

And when the wealth of Cheng Guogong's mansion was exposed to everyone's vision, everyone was shocked.

Tens of millions of taels of silver, 10 taels of gold, and countless other jewels, emeralds, and antique calligraphy and paintings.

It might be an exaggeration to say that the Duke of Cheng's mansion is as rich as an enemy country, but Lihuang's internal treasury can't afford tens of millions of taels of silver, which shows how rich the Duke of Cheng's mansion is.

In addition to these, Cheng Guogong's mansion also has millions of acres of fertile land and hundreds of shops, involving all aspects of the industry.

In the Imperial City, in the Royal Study Room.

Li Huang looked at the memorial sent by the Ministry of Punishment.

There is no emotion on the wrinkled face.

"The government of the four major kingdoms shocked me!"

"Lu Sheng, do you think it will be the same for the other three dukes' mansions?"

When Eunuch Lu heard the words, he trembled all over.

"I don't know either, but the Jingguo mansion should be far inferior to the Chengguo mansion."

"Oh! Really?" Li Huang said.

Eunuch Lu bowed his head and said, "Prince Jingguo's private property is only a million!"

Li Huang raised his head, Gu Jing Wubo looked at him, then nodded, and asked: "Where are the palaces?"

Eunuch Lu's head lowered, "Ping Wang's Mansion and An Wang's Mansion should not be worse than Cheng Guogong's Mansion!"

"Where's the East Palace?"

"The East Palace has its own treasurer!" Eunuch Lu said in a deep voice.

Li Huang nodded slightly.

The East Palace has its own treasury and officials appointed by the court, so there will not be a lot of private property, but the chief historians of Prince Ping's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion have become retainers of the two princes, so naturally there will be a lot of private property.

"The Imperial City Secretary's ability is still a bit weak!"

Eunuch Lu swayed slightly, kneeled on the ground with a thud, and said in a low voice: "This old slave is incompetent, please punish him by Your Majesty."

The Imperial City Secretary is Li Huang's eyes and ears, not only responsible for helping Li Huang inquire about folk news, but also responsible for monitoring court officials.

Cheng Guogong's mansion has so many private properties, and the Imperial City Secretary has never mentioned it before.

"Get up, you are all half-buried, how can I cut you off!" Li Huang waved his hand casually.

Hearing this, Eunuch Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

This time it was indeed the Imperial City Division's dereliction of duty, but this cannot be blamed on the Imperial City Division.

After all, the Four Great Dukes' Mansions have existed for hundreds of years, and they have accumulated countless wealth. Although the Imperial City Secretary is very capable of searching information, it is not easy to find out how much wealth Cheng Guo's Mansion owns.

Besides, Lihuang has never intended to target Duke Cheng's mansion, and Huangcheng Division will naturally not spend a lot of energy on Duke Cheng's mansion.

"Check out Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong, and there are several other big palaces, as well as Xin'an County Wangfu!" Li Huang said softly.

"The old slave leads the order!"

Eunuch Lu responded quickly.

Zhen Wusi.

Qin Wei also received news from the Ministry of Punishment.

Since reaching a settlement with Wei Rong, the relationship between the Ministry of Punishment and Zhenwu Division has become much closer.The Zhenwu Division needs the cooperation of the Criminal Department, as long as it is reasonable, the Criminal Department will cooperate.
