How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

The three fast horses galloped all the way to Tianshou Mountain, a hundred miles away.

Along the way, the three people had different thoughts and did not speak, thinking silently.

For Lu Wenzhao, successfully recruiting Shen Lian to serve under King Xin was a matter of great joy.

As Zhu Youxiao becomes more foolish and unprincipled, the world becomes increasingly chaotic.

It is imminent to replace His Highness King Xin.

Once they ascend the throne, both he and Shen Lian will have the power to follow the dragon.

At that time, what kind of bullshit Jinyi Weidong Factory, my dignified seven-foot-old man Lu Wenzhao, how can he be like a dog and a fly?

Why not follow the example of the famous general Yue Fei and lead troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty!

Lu Wenzhao's eyes gleamed with anticipation when he thought of leading an army of hundreds of thousands to conquer Liaodong and sealing the wolf as his slave.

But for Shen Lian, there were not so many messy thoughts.

He has no ambitions, he just hopes to do his job well and feel no regrets.

It would be better to marry a wife, have a son to carry on the family line, and then have a daughter to raise slowly.

When I grow old, I will have many descendants and enjoy family happiness.

If it goes too far, I also hope that the Ming Empire will have long-term peace and stability, and that there will be no more wars and no more deaths.

The worst thing is, just let me spend this humble life in peace.

But he understood that this idea was also a luxury.

With the advent of slavery, the country was also unsettled, and civil unrest broke out again in various places.

I am afraid that in the next dozen years, the Ming Empire will be hit hard again and again.

The fact that he didn't see the vision coming from the sky last night already shows that the emperor has lost his virtue.

But what kind of disaster God is going to bring makes Shen Lian extremely worried.

Among the three.

The only person with a relaxed mind is probably Xinwang Zhu Youjian.

He assumed the alias Jinyiwei Baihu Zhuxin and left Kyoto on horseback for the first time. Everything was fresh.

Breathing the sweet air in his mouth and looking at the vast mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian smiled faintly.

In the whole world, could it be the royal land?

On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers!

These are my great mountains and rivers, and they are the lands that the ancestors of my Zhu family fought for with their lives.

It's a pity, what has become of eldest brother Huo Huo now.

Once I ascend the throne, I will control the rebellion in the west, stop the establishment of slaves in the east, revolutionize the imperial court internally, and practice the royal way externally.

With some action, the Ming Empire will be completely transformed!

Big brother, big brother, I can't wait to take your place.

Zhu Youjian looked around, his face full of excitement.

Perhaps the only one who worries him is Feng Lixin who lives in Tianshou Mountain.

After this person suggested expanding the coffin bed in the second year of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

It's a pity that I haven't seen each other again for several years.

He is mysterious and mysterious. He has lived deep in Tianshou Mountain for a long time, leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to repair the imperial tombs of past dynasties day and night. He almost never sets foot in Kyoto.

This also gave Zhu Youjian no chance to take him under his command.

This time I went to Tianshou Mountain to do two things.

First, explore the reasons for abnormal celestial phenomena in advance and prepare for your own plans.

The second and most important thing is to win Feng Lixin.

Whether it's because of emotion, reason, or inducement, Zhu Youjian believes that the other party will not refuse.

Just how to preach?

Zhu Youjian subconsciously touched the one hundred thousand taels of silver note in his arms, feeling uneasy for a while.

Awareness is based on emotion, and motivation is based on reason?

The other party does not seem to be someone who can die in the service of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, he would not encourage himself to rebel, and he would never care about government affairs.

I don't know if they can take a fancy to my meager wealth, even if I want to lure them with benefits.

Even if you like it, what should you do if you really want the one hundred thousand taels of silver?

In such an uneasy mood, Zhu Youjian followed the two of them to Tianshou Mountain quickly.

But as soon as he stepped outside the mountain, Zhu Youjian was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

But I saw a tall wooden archway standing here, with the words "Huangling Town" written on it.

The archway is magnificent, not inferior to the five archways at Qianmen in the capital.

Wupai Tower, also known as Qianmen Tower.

It is the most beautiful scenery on the central axis of Kyoto and one of the landmarks of the capital.

There is a saying once said, I talk to you about the front door building, but you talk to me about the hip axle?

This sentence is generally used to describe people who are not related to each other.

At this moment, Xinwang Zhu Youjian felt the same way.

What a mess!

Feng Lixin, are you fucking crazy!

Why was this big archway built outside Tianshou Mountain?

Suddenly, I thought I had entered the divine way deep in the imperial mausoleum.

But now I have just set foot on Tianshou Mountain.

You spend so much manpower and material resources, what are you going to do to build this thing?

Zhu Youjian's face gradually darkened.

After all, what Feng Li Xin was squandering was the cost of the imperial mausoleum, and wasn’t the cost of the imperial mausoleum still the money in my, Zhu Youjian’s pocket?

But there was a huge crowd under the archway. Countless people were walking, riding horses, or driving ox carts, pulling goods through.

People's faces were filled with happy and peaceful smiles, and they walked leisurely on the road.

This place doesn't look like a solemn royal cemetery at all, but rather like a...

Lively market.

"Nonsense! Ridiculous!"

Zhu You couldn't help but raise his riding whip in anger.

This group of people walking freely on the ground of the imperial mausoleum is no different from sitting on the head of Lao Zhu's family and shitting.

"Lu Wenzhao, I haven't come to the imperial mausoleum to worship my ancestors in a few years. Why is this place like this?"

He asked the governor Lu Wenzhao on the side. After all, the other party was the Jinyiwei intelligence agency, which was responsible for investigating secrets and important matters, and he knew the world like the back of his hand.

Lu Wenzhao was embarrassed.

Your Highness, Your Highness, don’t say you haven’t been to Tianshou Mountain in several years.

My special mother hasn’t been here either!

Ever since Emperor Tianqi made Feng Lixin the Taibao of Guanshan, Feng Lixin had regarded this place as his own territory and did not allow any officials to interfere.

Even I, Jin Yiwei, cannot set up an office here and know nothing about the situation inside.

In fact, it stands to reason.

Every year during the Tomb Sweeping Day, the emperor will lead all the distinguished royal family members to come here to worship their ancestors.

It's a pity that Zhu Youxiao is getting more and more ridiculous and his physical condition is getting worse.

After the last ancestor worship in the fourth year of Tianqi, he never came again.

Every year on Qingming Festival, memorial ceremonies are held remotely in the palace.

Two years later, Lu Wenzhao did not expect that this place would look like this.

Now seeing Zhu You questioning him, he could only answer helplessly.

"Um... Your Highness, the emperor has not worshiped his ancestors in the past two years, and it involves the secrets of the construction of the imperial mausoleum. It is difficult for the Jin Yiwei to interfere. So... so... haha..."

The meaning is very clear, even my special wife doesn’t know.

"you……"

Zhu Youjian wanted to be furious, but his face turned red.

Yes.

Not only has my eldest brother not been here for two years, but as a direct descendant of the Zhu family, I have also not been to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to my ancestors for two years.

Second brother, don't scold the elder brother, no one is a good guy.

"Hmph! Let's go! Go to the Orphan School and see what Feng Lixin is doing!"

Zhu Youjian swallowed his anger. Because of his sensitive identity and the need to attract the other party, it was difficult for him to get angry. He drove his horse forward with a frown on his face.

But when we got to the foot of the archway, there were too many people, so we had to dismount and walk.

After passing the archway, you have to walk hundreds of steps before it becomes more spacious.

But Zhu Youjian became confused again.

But after entering the archway, the road under my feet was no longer the official road paved with yellow mud and plain soil outside.

What you see is pitch black, glowing with deep blue, as if you are walking into a dye vat.

What is this road and why is it so weird?

Zhu Youjian stepped on the spot curiously, only to feel a strange feeling under his feet, which was soft or not, hard or not.

Moreover, the road surface is extremely smooth and smooth, like the surface of a lake in winter, but not as smooth as the lake surface.

Zhu Youjian became more and more strange. He couldn't help but let go of the reins, squatted down and dug at the ground with his hands.

After digging for a long time, he couldn't find anything. He even bent down and wanted to smell what the road smelled like.

Could it be that a layer of black paint was artificially painted on the outside of Sanhetu?

When Zhu Youjian's nose was almost touching the ground.

"Pfft! Hahahaha..."

The people passing by couldn't help laughing when they saw Zhu Youjian sticking his butt and kissing the ground.

Not only him, but several men and women also stood in the distance, pointing and pointing.

Only then did Zhu Youjian realize how inelegant the posture was and stood up in a hurry.

"Presumptuous! Bold! How dare you laugh at Xin...Jin Yiwei!"

When Lu Wenzhao saw this, he drew out his sword and shouted angrily.

Wow.

Only when everyone discovered that they were three members of the Jin Yiwei, they were so frightened that they ran away.

Zhu Youxiao frowned, waved his hand at Lu Wenzhao, and walked a few steps to stop someone.

The other party was an old man in his early sixties, with white hair, very clean clothes, and a fair complexion. He was obviously from a good family.

Zhu Youjian bowed his hand politely: "My father-in-law, don't panic."

"My nephew is here for the first time. He doesn't know what the road is like. He couldn't help but squat down and make you laugh..."

"Ah, don't you dare! I'm joking, but I don't dare to laugh at you..."

The old man still had a look of fear on his face, waving his hands to leave again, but it was a pity that Zhu Youjian would let him go.

The other party is dressed as a scholar and is obviously a scholar, so there will be no hindrance in communication.

"Master, don't leave in a hurry!"

He took a step, stopped again, and asked sincerely: "Please tell me, my father-in-law, why is the road in Huangling Town so weird?"

"This……"

The old man looked at the other person carefully, and when he saw that he was a teenager, he couldn't help but secretly thought.

These days, are all the 100 families in Jinyiwei going to select from among their furry children?

However, thinking of the nonsense hereditary and neglectful system, he didn't ask any more questions, but instead held his hands and smiled.

"My lord, this is a pavement designed by Mr. Fengli Xinfeng, the mayor of Huangling Town."

"Because it can withstand thousands of troops and horses galloping on it, it is named..."

"road!"

"road?"

The young Emperor Chongzhen was completely stupid.
