Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapters a good place to kill
Thousands of horses are galloping, and the frame is moving quickly.
Liu Mingzhi knew nothing about what happened in the capital.
At this time, Liu Mingzhi was escorted by his own soldiers and was still on his way to the capital.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the southern region of Xinzhou Prefecture. After passing through Fengyundu for another half a day, we will leave the northern region and reach the boundary of Mingzhou.
The eleventh prince Li Ting has now been named King Ming. When we pass by the territory of King Ming for renovation, should we pay a visit?
After all, he is also the younger brother of the third princess. Isn’t there something wrong with him just passing through without saying anything?”
"Don't go, I'm not familiar with it.
A child of sixteen or seventeen years old. I have nothing to say to him, so I will just pass through and return to the capital."
"This...is an order!"
"Your Majesty has ordered us to rush to the capital with all our strength."
"Your Majesty has ordered us all to rush to the capital."
Liu Mingzhi listened to the shouts of the soldiers gradually disappearing, threw the book in his hand on the table, and rubbed his temples with some upset.
After leaving Xinzhou City, I always felt a little uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
Is it because of Chen Jie's departure, or...
The situation can't come to this point so quickly!
Liu Mingzhi straightened up and sat up from the pillow. He opened the car curtain and looked at the white snow in the farmland on both sides of the official road.
From time to time, bright green light shines under the snow, which is the tip of the wheat seedling pushing out of the snow cover, announcing to passers-by its gratifying growth.
Fengyun Ferry.
Built on a tributary of the Jing River, it is one of the important locations connecting the north-south water channel.
Usually there are many shipping dealers turning around goods here.
It is one of the important hubs for trade between the northern prefectures of Xinzhou and the southern prefectures.
The convenience of river transportation greatly saves the cost of land transportation, and has always been favored by major merchants.
No one dislikes money. If you can save it, save it. This is the nature of a businessman.
As the carriage and horses moved forward, Liu Mingzhi's thoughts flew further and further.
The closer he got to Fengyun Ferry, the more uneasy he became.
It seemed like there was something waiting for me ahead.
"parking!"
"Hush!"
"Your Majesty has an order, stop moving forward!"
The team slowly stopped. Liu Mingzhi opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Walking on the creaking snow, Liu Mingzhi leaned over and grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it in his hands. He looked at the deserted place with no human beings in sight.
Guan Dao, his brows wrinkled slightly.
"My lord, is there something wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Sun Mingfeng, and patted the snow that had melted into water on his hand with a half-smile.
"Nothing, just take one last look at my northern scenery.
Look at the crisscrossing fields and ridges. Next year will be another good harvest year, and the people's lives will become more and more prosperous.
very nice!"
Sun Mingfeng and others also bent down, grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it, looking at the growing wheat fields on both sides with eyes full of admiration.
"I remember that many years ago when I passed by this place, it was still a barren land. Thanks to the prince's policy of opening up wasteland, the barren land has now become fertile land.
After a good harvest and taxes paid to the treasury, the remaining grain was enough for the people to eat and drink and live without worries for a year. Along the way, when the people on the road saw the carriage of the prince, they all knelt down and saluted.
It shows that they are grateful from the bottom of their hearts for the prince’s benevolent government.”
Liu Mingzhi sighed with complicated eyes.
"I have won the heart of the world, but I have never won the heart of the emperor!"
"Ah? What did you say, my lord? The voice was too low and I didn't hear it!"
"It's nothing, just a complaint. Do you think I, Liu Mingzhi, am a good official?"
"Whether the prince is a good official or not, brothers with lower ranks are not qualified to comment. The people of the 27th Prefecture in the North know best."
"Hua Tou, do you think I am a good minister?"
"Your Majesty is asking this question. Looking at my Dalong Chaotang, among all the officials in various places and prefectures, you, Your Majesty, can't be considered a good minister. The low-ranking brothers really don't know what kind of officials are good ministers.
Just ask any official. Apart from you, the prince, the most loyal person to the imperial court, I'm afraid no one can compare with you.
Ruizhong, let’s not talk about the late emperor as he is a thing of the past. As far as your majesty’s accession to the throne and what happened after that is concerned, the prince has been devoted to your majesty and has done his best to help you!
All these past events are there for all to see.”
"Haha...then you think that if I, Liu Mingzhi, raise an army to rebel one day, how will the people in the world view me?"
Sun Mingfeng, Tao Li and the others, who were laughing happily, stiffened and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, please stop joking with low-level officials.
Even if you say something disrespectful, someone will believe you if you rebel.
Back then, hundreds of thousands of our brothers rushed thousands of miles to the capital to rescue King Jia Qin and put down the rebellion of the kings.
Looking at both the inside and outside of the capital, they are all our soldiers and horses. No one in the entire capital is an enemy of the prince. The imperial seal has passed from the hands of the Queen Mother to yours.
Everything is ready, all it takes is for the prince to raise his arms and change the dynasty.
You didn't covet the throne at that time, so how can you talk about rebellion now?
I’m afraid that if you say it, Prince, no one will believe it!”
"Yes, it is easy for me to seize the country, but you all understand why things turned out like this!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, you said that we are all confused. Why did it become like this?"
"It's nothing. You have to be prepared. You might as well rebel one day!"
Sun Mingfeng and the others' expressions stiffened again. Although they knew that the prince was making some jokes, they still did not dare to accept the next words.
Liu Mingzhi can joke about some things, but they are not qualified to joke about them.
I could only rub my nose angrily, pretending not to hear what Liu Mingzhi said.
"Taoli!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Get the blue baggage on the left wall of the carriage, and get the brazier too."
"Got the order!"
In a few breaths, Tao Li placed the brazier on the ground and handed the bundle to Liu Mingzhi.
"Your Majesty, burden!"
"Well, you go back and guard first."
"Got the order!"
After Sun Mingfeng and the others left, Liu Mingzhi sat down cross-legged regardless of the snow on the ground, and silently unbuttoned the baggage.
He took out five books and stroked them gently with a complicated expression.
The five-volume dragon-slaying technique is only for those who come after you.
Now that I think about it, it's not necessary.
The veins in the back of Liu Mingzhi's hand rose slightly, and he split the five volumes in half from the middle and threw them into the brazier.
When the fire folds were lit, the five volumes of paper, all bound together with fine rice paper, ignited easily.
The firelight danced in the depths of Liu Mingzhi's complex eyes, slowly melting the surrounding snow.
The paper turned into ashes. When the brazier cooled down, Liu Mingzhi raised the brazier and raised it vigorously, and everything went away with the wind.
From now on, no one will know that these five books once existed in this world for a short period of time.
He stopped and looked north.
A bitter yet meaningful smile appeared on Liu Mingzhi's lips, and he rushed towards the carriage with the brazier in hand.
Not long after Liu Mingzhi got into the carriage, several homing pigeons once again flew north, cooing in Xiao Wu's hands.
"Let's set off and continue to Beijing!"
"Got the order!"
"Your Majesty has your order, please continue on your way."
As the sun set in the west, the team finally arrived at Fengyundu, the border between Xinzhou and Mingzhou.
The speeding carriage slowly stopped, and the voice of the general Qin Guang came from outside the carriage.
"Who is actually blocking the road? Don't you know this is the bicycle frame of Pingjianwang? Get out of the way quickly!"
"General Qin, don't you recognize us?"
"Manager Zeng, why are you here?"
"Let's welcome the prince into the capital. Is the prince in the car?"
Liu Mingzhi vaguely heard the familiar voice of his old friend Zeng Hai. He stood up and jumped under the carriage. He tightened his cloak and walked slowly towards the front of the team.
Stopping, Liu Mingzhi looked at Zeng Hai and the ten young eunuchs standing on the official road.
There was an expected and unexpected look in his eyes.
It was as if he had expected this, and as if things were beyond his expectations.
All in all, it was an indescribable reaction.
Looking around at the frozen river in the distance, it seemed like the Fengyun Ferry where thousands of birds had disappeared and thousands of people disappeared, Liu Mingzhi smiled bitterly.
The mountains are beautiful, and the water is even more beautiful. It’s a great place to kill people!
