Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Yu Boming finally decided to use the money to set up a fund to help orphans, especially those who were trafficked. Because information cannot be shared, many children who were trafficked to other places could not find their homes even if they were rescued. Send it to the Salesian Bureau or find someone to adopt.

When Yu Boming was young, one of his daughters was abducted by kidnappers. It has been decades, but it has always been the greatest regret in his life. Although he knows that after so many years, the chance of her still alive is very small, but he is willing to help Orphans in the world, I hope that good people will be rewarded.

Li Xu had no objection to this, and he recommended Hong Liang to Mr. Yu, "This is Hong Liang, the chief steward who takes over the foundation. He will report the specific things to you when he has profits in the future."

Mr. Yu took a few glances at this shy young man, and he could see that he was a pretty honest boy, and he was under the prince's command, so he should be a good guy, but... "I wonder if the old man can make an exaggerated proposal?"

"Please speak."

"Can the Yu family send someone to manage the funds together? Of course, I don't mean to distrust the prince and Steward Hong, it's just that it's more convenient for my own people to communicate."

Li Xu agreed without even thinking about it, "That's fine, but he can only be a deputy, and all decisions must be made by Hong Liang, otherwise it will be difficult for Manager Hong to manage things."

"Of course, thank you, my lord, for your understanding." Yu Boming deeply felt the generosity of King Shun. When he resigned, King Shun hadn't grown up yet, so he had no contact with him. It is a blessing for the people of Dayan to have such a successor. ah.

On the same day, Li Xu received this collection of words sent by Yu Boming. It was packed in several large boxes, and there were more than 200 volumes. This was simplified and screened, which shows how prolific this old writer is.

"There is one more thing. I have sorted out the outline of the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but you have to fill in the details. What I can remember is very limited. I don't know if it will be useful to Mr. Yu."

Yu Boming took it with both hands, holding it in his arms like a treasure, "My lord, you don't need to be modest, as long as you have a main story line, I can write a complete story. I will invite you to listen to it when it starts."

"That would be great, but this story is not given to you by the king for free, the profit..." Li Xu smiled like a profiteer, "Mr. Yu's storytelling is for profit, although the story of this king is incomplete But it will definitely shock the audience in the whole city, and there will be many people who will like it."

Although Yu Boming didn't expect that Li Xu would ask him for money, but considering that he can get a share of those boxes of junk, this story should naturally be paid for copyright.

"Tell me the number."

"That's how it is. As long as Mr. Yu tells the story of the Three Kingdoms in the teahouse that day, then [-]% of the proceeds from that day will be shared by the palace, and you must promise not to give this story to others for free."

Yu Boming wrinkled his old face and asked: "Why is the prince so troublesome, can't I just pay you a sum of money? I am willing to pay 500 taels for the purchase."

Li Xu shook his head. He was sure that the Three Kingdoms would be popular in the whole city, and it would definitely not be able to be finished in a day or two. The long-term income would definitely be more than 500 taels. He is a businessman and does not trade at a loss.

Yu Boming didn't care how to divide the money, he could even give all the proceeds from the teahouse to Li Xu. Since the other party only wanted [-]%, it was already very kind, so he signed the contract right away.

Within a few days, the steward arranged by Li Xu selected 200 stories out of more than [-], arranged them in order of popularity, and sent them to the printing factory for urgent printing.

Yu Boming learned privately that the palace had printed tens of thousands of volumes of scriptures at one time, and secretly clicked his tongue. Shun Wang is really a big writer, and he is not afraid that the scriptures will not be sold, and they will become waste paper.

What he didn't know was that the tens of thousands of copies were only the amount printed in the capital. Li Xu also sent people to Nanyue to have the Nanyue Printing Factory also print tens of thousands of copies. They were going to be sold all over the country, and each county would get a share. , in fact, not too much.

Moreover, Yu Boming is a well-known writer. As long as Li Xu does a wave of publicity, he will definitely attract many readers, and everyone who buys the script can get a printed version signed by Mr. Yu himself, and he can get the signature of his idol. is a satisfying thing.

In the blink of an eye, it’s time for the spring hunting. The location of the spring hunting is the royal hunting ground two hundred miles away from the capital. Water, many big families have other courtyards in Xishan.

On the day of the trip, the emperor went together with the civil servants and military generals. The team lined up from the gate of the palace to the gate of the city.

There were so many officials and their family members, and every household was accompanied by maids, mothers-in-law, guards and servants. Looking around, they were all heads. Li Xu thought to himself, if someone sends a missile over at this time, the Great Yan Dynasty will perish.

The population of Prince Shun's Mansion is simple, with two masters and a few servants, three carriages and a few horses are gone. Instead, it is the lightest family in the accompanying family.

Behind King Shun's carriage is the third prince's chariot and horse. Mrs. Zhao's death had a great impact on the third prince. Recently, Li Xu has never even seen him. I heard that he has been at home laying the foundation for his deceased mother. Li Xu just now Seeing him from a distance, I just feel that the anxious third prince from before has not only reduced a lot, his whole body is covered with a layer of gloom, as if he is about to explode at any time.Kou Xiao was also in the accompanying group, but he was not with Li Xu, but was guarding the emperor's carriage with the Gyeonggi Camp. He took the time to ride over to check Li Xu's carriage and horses, and then left after making sure it was safe.

Li Xu pulled him and told him: "You and the Habayashi Army of the Gyeonggi Battalion communicate with each other, pay more attention to the third child, I always feel that he should be able to play tricks on this trip."

Kou Xiao's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "My lord, will he take this opportunity to force the palace? Whether it is sending troops to besiege the empty palace or Xishan, the chances of winning will be great. After all, we only brought half of the troops out. If there are people on either side It’s too easy to win with him.”

Li Xu frowned, and glanced at the third prince again, but he had already got into the carriage, and there was no one in sight, and the carriage behind him was said to be the family of the third prince, Li Xu beckoned Liu Shu to come over , told him: "Go and find out, which family members did the Third Prince bring?"

Liu Shu took the order to leave, and Li Xu discussed with Kou Xiao: "If your guess is true, is there any good way to deal with it?"

"First of all, both sides must be prepared for the battle. Don't take it lightly. Once you find abnormal people, you will be detained or executed immediately. Also, we don't have enough troops. It's best to borrow troops from the nearest state and county. If you can let them wait outside Xishan Orders are best."

Li Xu got into the carriage and asked Kou Xiao to come up as well, the enclosed space inside the carriage would not be so conspicuous.

"Before I disclosed to the emperor the news that the third prince was recruiting troops in Tongzhou, I don't know if the emperor sent someone to investigate, but it is probably too late."

Kou Xiao nodded, "The time is too short. Our people only found a few clues after searching for so long. It is too difficult to figure out their dynamics."

"It is indeed difficult for the enemy to be in the dark, but as long as they want to leave the same continent, they will definitely show their feet. Be sure to guard all the passages in and out of the same continent."

"If it was this general, he would have quietly cleared all the eyeliner on the road, and would not let the news out, otherwise, when they came from the same continent, they might have borrowed soldiers to stand by and wait."

Li Xu thought differently, and also felt that the other party would remove all obstacles on the road, so it might be difficult to spread the news.

"Who is in charge of the soldiers and horses near the West Mountain?"

"To the south is Cangzhou, the territory of the Zhao family. To the north is Daijun. General Lu also has [-] soldiers in his hands. These [-] soldiers are elite soldiers guarding the border. It may be difficult to mobilize troops. Further to the west is the power of the First Prince. The range is out, don’t even think about the east side, so the other side won’t be sure to win?”

Li Xu quickly drew a simple map. If there was no such thing, Xishan is a very safe place, because the west and north are heavily fortified border areas, and it is not too far from the capital, but the defense is from foreign enemies. , if it is internal strife, it is not so easy to defend.

"You said, if this king informs King Zhenbei of this conjecture, will he send troops to attack the king?" Li Xu asked.

"Even if he brings troops, how do you know that he is here for King Qin? If King Zhenbei is also ambitious, he might take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He can not only get rid of the emperor and you, but also get rid of the third prince, and occupy the moral high ground." Yi, are you sure you want to gamble?"

The corner of Li Xu's mouth raised slightly. The royal brothers really can't cooperate. No one knows if the other party will stab a knife in the back. Kou Xiao is right to be on guard. If he is the King of Zhenbei, it is really possible. Let the fight here hurt both sides first, and then come to the end, then they will really have to wait to die.

"My lord, do you want all the Kou family troops to come over?" Kou Xiao almost asked this sentence close to Li Xu's ear.

Li Xu hesitated for a while, "After all, these are all our guesses. If it doesn't happen, the whereabouts of Kou's army cannot be hidden. Doesn't what we do mean sending sheep to the tiger's mouth?"

"If the third prince doesn't activate it, then it's better for us..." Kou Xiao blinked at Li Xu, without saying anything.

Li Xu licked the corner of his mouth, is this asking him to send troops to force the palace?Is this kind of plot that has only been seen in history books and TV dramas going to be led by him?Thinking about it is actually a little scary.

Actively launching a coup and passive defense are two different things. The former is to be recorded in the annals of history and be commented on by future generations, but Li Xu doesn't really care about that.

"Aren't we too few?"

"Although there are not many Kou's army, but with Situ and Commander Lin, the guards here are almost negligible."

Li Xu closed his eyes and opened them again, with determination in his eyes, "Then tell them to gather at the junction of Shangjun and Xishan, and don't move. If the youngest dares to move, we will decide where to fight. As for the latter option ...This king needs a few more days to think about it."

The spring hunting usually lasts from half a month to a month, it all depends on the emperor's interest, Li Xu has enough time to think about whether he wants to be a traitor or not.

At the end of the hour, the horn sounded, and the team moved slowly. Kou Xiao had already left on horseback. Li Xu sat in the carriage for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until Liu Shu came up.

Liu Shu knelt at the door of the car and reported in a low voice: "My lord, the third prince only brought four concubines with him, and the rest were staff and guards, and the servant asked specifically that the staff surnamed Yan was not among them."

"What? He didn't accompany you?" Li Xu's heart beat faster. That Mr. Yan is the third prince's most capable assistant and the person he trusts the most. If he didn't accompany him, then there is a real problem.

"Go and spread the news, so that the emperor and the ministers will know."

"Here."

Li Xu was sitting in the carriage, the sunlight outside the car seemed to have lost the usual temperature, making the inside of the car a bit cold, Li Xu rubbed his hands, feeling that his guess was probably correct.

So how should we deal with it?
