Zhu Yuanzhang looked with concern at Zhu Biao whose pulse had resumed beating.
Wang Huai's words, "The trouble has not been eliminated," drew everyone's attention back.
Although Wang Huai was weak for a while, the smile on his face remained calm.
But their eyes are no longer the same.
Only deep awe!
This... is a real master!
Not only did the hexagrams work, but the dead prince Zhu Biao was also brought back from the gate of hell!
I'm afraid... only the legendary gods can do it!
Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Wang Huai.
Of course, there is gratitude, but there is also unknown fear!
His son came back to life, and Zhu Yuanzhang changed from an old father to the Ming Hongwu Emperor who dominated the people.
As an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was never a good man or woman.
A group of old brothers who accompanied him to conquer the country, such as Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and many other heroes, rarely died well.
In fact, even Xu Da was sentenced to death according to folk rumors.
Perhaps now that Zhu Biao has been rescued and Zhu Biao can control the Huaixi Party, many people will survive.
But it also shows that once someone becomes a threat, Zhu Yuanzhang will never take his feelings into account!
What is the emperor afraid of?
It is not ignorance of the future, but ignorance of the present - the things that have happened before us, the people in front of us.
These are things he cannot control.
What I am afraid of is that I will be seen through!
Wang Huai can take advantage of these three points by himself!
It was only now that he showed his unpredictable abilities.
In addition, he had just saved Biao'er, so he was kind to him.
The emperor's thoughts were so deep that Zhu Yuanzhang buried them in his heart.
"The trouble hasn't been eliminated yet? What does Mr. Wang mean?"
"Both hibiscus and ice silkworms, they are both specialties of the Western Regions."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed and he hummed:
"Hmph, Western Region, seeking death!"
The Central Plains people don’t know the toxicity of these two, but the Western Region people must know it.
He even secretly sent this kind of thing to the palace on purpose, and his intentions are to be punished.
"Guo Ying!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
"My humble duty is here! I just want to recover the Western Region..."
"I want to ask you about the thorough investigation of Siyuan Bureau. How is it going?"
Guo Ying knelt down again and said:
"Being incompetent at his job, he found out that Zhou Yulang, a sericulture eunuch, came from the Western Regions and has absconded.
However, he has superb martial arts skills and is extremely hidden. After searching for two days and two nights, there is still no trace of him..."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to interrupt, turned to Wang Huai and said slowly:
"Taoist Xiao Wang not only has medical skills but also has the ability to divine the past and the future. I hope to use Taoist Xiao Wang's hand to divine the whereabouts of the thief Zhou Yulang."
Wang Huai knew that the more powerful he was, the more he would be suspected, but now he had to risk his life and wealth to make a bet with him to see who was better.
If you win, you will be able to swim in the sea; if you lose, you will be placed under house arrest.
Wang Huaixin picked up a few stalks on the straw mat, took out the jade turtle he brought with him, made a divination in person, and then calmly said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"The thief hasn't left Yingtianfu Realm yet, it's too late to chase him now."
"How to pursue?" Guo Ying asked.
"Lightly pack fast horses and follow the post road to the downstream direction of the Qinhuai River. If you encounter a post soldier, he will carry a whip with you. Just buy it."
"It's easy to understand when you're wearing casual clothes. Why do you need to ask a junior official for a riding whip?"
The most abundant thing in the imperial court is a riding whip, so why bother asking others for it?
Everyone looked at Wang Huai, wondering what mystery he was up to.
But a series of strange things happened to him, and any words could no longer be questioned.
"Besides," Wang Huai muttered, "the other party has the poisonous ice silkworms in hand, so I'll let you go."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly, and he was obviously worried that Wang Huai would take the opportunity to fly away.
But what he said was true - the ice silkworm is extremely poisonous and only Wang Huai can cure it.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and ordered:
"Do as Taoist Priest Xiao Wang said, and ask King Yan to come with you to capture the culprits alive."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned back to look at his imperial master Zhu Yunsheng:
"Teacher, let's come too."
Zhu Yunsheng nodded and looked at Wang Huai with a half-smile:
"What if the clerk would rather sell horses than whips?"
Wang Huai laughed and scolded:
"Sell horses! Then kneel down and beg him, make up a sad story, and he will soften his heart, and maybe give him the whip.
Remember, with his riding crop, you will be able to find the thief and tie him up."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Wang Huai with disdain. It was easy to find a minor official to get a riding whip, but he still couldn't find the culprit. He was deceiving the world and stealing his reputation, and he could be punished immediately - the death penalty for deceiving the emperor!
Zhu Yuanzhang did not comment and ordered:
"Taoist Priest Xiao Wang has worked hard and made great achievements. We must protect him well. If he loses a hair, Guo Ying will not come back because we will reward Taoist Priest Xiao Wang."
No one knows the implication of Zhu Yuanzhang's words - be optimistic about Wang Huai and don't let him get away.
Guo Yingfu said:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as Guo Ying does not die, Taoist Master Xiao Wang will be fine!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sent the three of them to the door. Zhu Yuanzhang turned back and said:
"Send someone to take Biao'er back to the East Palace."
"yes!"
A column of royal guards escorted Zhu Biao to the East Palace.
Guo Ying and the emperor's master Zhu Yunsheng led another column to protect Wang Huai and the emperor to the Imperial Academy.
After changing clothes and coming out, Zhu Di had already arrived.
His steps are not fast, but he has a strong aura and an unstoppable momentum.
He was followed by a monk dressed in black. After introduction, Wang Huai learned the monk's name - the famous black-clad prime minister Yao Tianxi.
The two most outstanding monks in the Ming Dynasty were Zhu Yuanzhang and Yao Tianxi.
After staying in the imperial prison for three days, as soon as Wang came out of the city gate, he felt as if he was flying high in the sky and letting birds fly.
There were five riders in the group, and Zhu Yunsheng couldn't stop talking all the way.
"Are you chasing a woman? Why do you need a riding crop?"
"Young people really know how to play..."
After walking quickly for five miles, we arrived at a post station.
The four of them looked at Wang Huai at the same time.
Because there really was a station clerk wearing a felt hat who was feeding the stagecoach horses.
Guo Ying had a keen eye and saw at a glance a nice riding crop hanging on the clerk's waist.
Without any instructions, everyone reined up their horses and jumped down from the saddle bridge.
Guo Ying quickly walked up to the clerk, bowed, said a few polite words, and then took out the money to buy a horse whip.
However, this little official had a stubborn temper and claimed that the riding whip was an ancestral relic. It was not a matter of money, but it could not be sold.
Guo Ying and Zhu Di were both figures who manipulated others. If Wang Huai, who was under the emperor's care, hadn't been watching, he would have come by force.
When it comes to this kind of screw-ups, it’s really hard to use money. The old saying that money can make all the difference is no longer true here.
Helpless, Guo Ying had no choice but to use the second method taught by Wang Huai - cry miserably.
With a bang, Guo Ying knelt down on one knee, raised his fists, and played the emotional card.
He created a slave to steal the family property, which made his 80-year-old mother hang herself on a southeastern branch.
Thieves and servants are disgusting, killing them quickly and then quickly is what a man would do.
Zhu Di sang a double act, losing money is a small thing, but losing face is a big thing. If it spreads around, it will make people laugh.
Guo Ying echoed that among the lost things, there were items used by her mother during her lifetime. Seeing the things was like seeing her mother, and she burst into tears.
Zhu Di knelt on one knee and said with red eyes:
"We are all benevolent and filial gentlemen. Why not make it a convenience and borrow a riding whip for a while to fulfill the filial piety of missing our mother."
Guo Ying nodded and said:
"After using it, you must return the original item immediately and never take it as your own."
The two old actors performed a performance, and the young official tightened his grip on the riding whip and was in a dilemma... This chapter has been completed!
