The road to get rich through salted fish

Emperor Xiande of this dynasty is a sage monarch and also the master of pioneering. We can get a glimpse of a series of drastic state policy measures after he ascended the throne. After Shang and other major events, the only worry of the sage now is the military and political affairs of the southeast Chu province, that is, pirates at sea.

In recent years, overseas bandits have colluded with the two pirate leaders Zhu and Xu in the dynasty to attack towns and towns along the coasts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, causing numerous casualties and deprivation of life for the people. The capital is located on an island, but it has been difficult to achieve results.

On the contrary, it enraged the pirates and made their attacks even more bloody and cruel. Villages and towns were slaughtered one after another in the coastal areas, leaving no dogs or dogs behind.

Therefore, after receiving the shipbuilding technology presented by Xie's family, the Holy Majesty immediately asked the Ministry of Industry to verify it, and when the results came out, Longyan Dayue, regardless of the occasion of the new day, immediately issued an award.

Emperor Xiande awarded Liang Feng the plaque of "The Biao of Ten Thousand Merchants", and asked him to name him the position of a sixth-rank officer in the Ministry of Industry, so that he could continue to make suggestions in the future. take office.In addition, various preferential treatments and exemptions were given for paying taxes and military service within three generations, and of course, there were also countless imperial treasures.

"Thank you Lord Long En, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

Liang Feng and his whole family piled up at the door to worship piously. Although he had greeted many times in advance, telling everyone not to lose their composure and not to be too nervous, this was to reward them, not to behead them.

But at the end of the declaration, when the daughters-in-law of the family stood up, they still shook their legs unconsciously. The wives couldn't believe it. The plaque had already been placed on the big table that was specially packed in the main hall of their house. Ten boxes of rewards were also placed all over the floor, but they still fell into a dream.

After all, that's the emperor, the biggest figure in the world. Even he, does he know about our Liang family? Will he send someone to reward father-in-law?

Liang Feng's face was full of joy, first he secretly stuffed a few silver tickets into the father-in-law's hands, and then said respectfully, "My father-in-law has traveled a long way, it's really hard work, if you don't mind it, why don't you take some simple tea and light food in the humble house and rest for a while, How about going back to life again?"

Eunuch Xuanzhi tightened the few pieces of paper in his hand, and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "It is also our honor to be ordered to come here to proclaim the grace of the saint. When I first came in, I saw that the whole village was very lively. What an interesting celebration, our family really wants to stay and join in the fun, but we are waiting for Master Liang to speak!"

"Hahaha, father-in-law is really funny, please come inside quickly."

Eunuch Kang had a happy face, and he stood in a row with Liang Feng and walked into the yard, but when he turned around, he caught sight of someone's face from the corner of his eye, and suddenly his expression stopped, as if he saw something terrible, and he stared at Yun Chen. He kept muttering, "Chu... King Chu... King Chu..."

Xie Heng was also walking with them, seeing the always decent Eunuch Kang lose his composure, and hearing his intermittent but clear words, his eyelids twitched immediately...

There is no king of Chu in the Great Zhou Dynasty now, because the king of Chu has passed away, and the pilgrimage has since banned this title.

Taking Chu as the title shows the preciousness of his previous status, because the title is the fiefdom, and being able to use the name of an ancient great country means that he must be the prince of a certain emperor, and he is still a prince who has made great contributions.Probably due to the decline of the previous dynasty, there was a big reason for the separatism and turmoil in the feudal towns. Therefore, since the establishment of the dynasty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the princes and titles were bestowed with extreme caution.

When the first emperor was in power, there were only two princes, the king of Chu and the king of Qi; under the current rule, there is even none. 12 years ago unfortunately died in battle.

The King of Chu is the younger brother of the same mother of the Holy One, but he is more than ten years younger than the Holy One. The Holy One loves him very much. He is also a father and brother. He is very close. At the same time, the King of Chu is also the most famous in the Zhou Dynasty. The God of War, Xie Heng's elder brother who died in battle, once served under the King of Chu.

It's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents. 12 years ago, after the King of Chu pacified the Southwest, on his way back to the court, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect colluded with the rebel generals in the army with witchcraft and poisoned him. The most heroic of the Great Zhou Dynasty The Great General Wang was only 21 years old when he died. He didn't even die on the battlefield, but died in a shameless assassination.

At that time, Xie Heng was still a young student studying hard day and night in Chenjun's family school. He only watched his elder brother kneel to the southwest for three days and three nights after hearing the news, and did not eat 1.1 meters of water; It is said that when His Majesty received the news, he vomited blood and fell into a coma in the imperial study. After seven days, the country mourned for three months; and the Empress Dowager has been lingering on the sick bed since then, and she is still in poor health.

Xie Heng was also extremely regretful at the beginning, blaming himself for being born a few years late, not being able to go to the court earlier, and not being able to see the demeanor of the God of War prince.

Thinking of this, Xie Heng calmed down, and looked at Yun Chen with deep meaning. If Mr. Kang could be mistaken for King Chu, could it be...

Thinking about the age carefully, it is completely right!

The reason why the empress dowager was so sad and depressed back then was not only because the king of Chu died in battle, but also because the last trace of the king's blood in this world disappeared.

At that time, when the Southwest was victorious, the King of Chu’s class returned to the court, just passing through the fiefdom of Jingchu, and it happened that almost at the same time, Princess Chu gave birth to a young son, and the King of Chu was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news, so he directly sent someone to pick her and his son to the army. In the middle, we are planning to go to Kyoto together to show the emperor's grandmother and emperor's uncle.

But it turned out to be very unfortunate. In the subsequent murder, both the king and his wife of Chu died, and the little son disappeared without a trace. How could the queen mother bear such a tragic end for the youngest son’s family? .

Liang Feng, Yun Qing, and Yun Chen sat on the chairs and secretly looked at each other with complicated emotions.

This Eunuch Kang first knelt down to Yun Chen with a "plop" in front of everyone, and everyone was almost frightened, and then Yun Chen and this group of people talked and chatted, and then helped him to sit on a chair, and the result Without saying a word, the fat old man began to cry non-stop.

The fat hand squeezed the handkerchief and kept pressing the corners of his eyes, but he had changed the handkerchief three times in a row, and his tears still didn't stop.

"Kah..." Yun Chen couldn't help coughing lightly.

Immediately, Eunuch Kang woke up suddenly, looked at Yun Chen, and said with a crying voice, "Your Highness, I blame this old slave for being too excited and losing his composure."

Yun Chen didn't dare to answer His Highness's voice, and quickly waved his hands, "Hey, don't say that, don't you admit the wrong person?"

Eunuch Kang flicked the veil unhappily, and complained, "How could it be? Back then in the palace, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was always served by miscellaneous families. You and the King of Chu were printed in the same mold!"

Yun Chen gritted his teeth, and said with a dry smile, "Isn't it too hasty to only look at appearance, there are too many similar people in the world?"

"Your Highness, your age is also suitable!" Eunuch Kang thought of the letter he read last night, and felt that the truth was right in front of him.

Before coming to Xinghua Village, Eunuch Kang stayed in Tong'an County for one more night, and this night was spent watching Jin Yiwei's collection of various information about Liang Feng and his family. He remembered one thing very deeply. , because the entanglement is quite interesting.

It was written in the Liang family that there was a young master who was talented and intelligent. He was the head of the county examination at the age of 11. He is now studying in Cixi Academy, but he does not have the surname of Liang Feng, nor is he the biological flesh and blood of Liang Feng and his husband, Yunqing. It was Yunqing who picked it up from nowhere 12 years ago.

This timing is really a coincidence, the prince of Chu was lost exactly 12 years ago.

Eunuch Kang looked at Yun Chen and smiled brightly, "Besides, our family knows that you are not the biological flesh and blood of Master Liang and Fu Lang."

These words were really too abrupt, if it was usual, someone would say this to anyone casually, not to mention beating him up, at least he would have sprayed him with blood, but when it comes to Yun Chen, it is the current situation , but people do not know how to answer.

Yun Chen tilted his head slightly to look at Liang Feng, and Liang Feng was also looking directly at him, his eyes were full of tolerance and trust, just like countless times before, no matter what he encountered, he always respected his opinion like this , only in very rare moments, he will refute him or help him make decisions, and those moments are when he is lazy and happy to act like a baby.

Yun Chen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly, his heart suddenly brightened.

He tapped his fingers on the table, put his attention on Eunuch Kang, and then said seriously, "Then let me tell you the truth, I have known since I was a child that I picked it up, but as for the specific life experience, I don't know." But I don’t know. Now, you suddenly said that I am the son of King Chu. This matter is very scary to me. If it is confirmed to be true, I may not be very happy, but if I make a mistake, I am afraid that I will kill myself Woe, so can you really be sure, just by similar looks and coincidental age?"

Yun Chen's words can be said to be very ruthless and arrogant, but Eunuch Kang was very satisfied and excited, and became more and more like him, just as proud and arrogant.

He smiled and nodded, "You are right, so next, our family would like to ask if there were any special objects around when Fulang picked you up. If this can also be matched, then the truth is true. It's clear."

Hearing this, Yun Qing's eyes instantly turned red, but she still bit her lip and stood up.

He exhaled lightly, as if he was going to use all his strength when he was about to speak, "There is one thing that I have been hiding."

About the time for a cup of tea, Yun Qing came out from the next room holding something tied with a red thread in his hand.

Everyone's breathing couldn't help being a little bit quick, and as Yun Qing slowly opened his palm, a jade pendant slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Almost at the same time, Eunuch Kang burst into tears and yelled again and again, "Yes, yes, our family knows, Your Highness, it really is you, Your Highness..."

He knelt down again with a "plop", quickly walked to Yunchen's legs, kowtowed again and again, the whole floor almost shook with the sound, and everyone's hearts shook at the same time.

"Your Highness, the red string of this jade pendant was woven by the Empress Dowager herself. Her original wish was to bless His Royal Highness King Chu to return safely. I never expected to bring you back in this way..."

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager miss you very much!"
