Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The news from Tongzhou and Yingchuan is not good news, but there is good news from the capital. The Wangfu's industry in the capital has become famous, and the business has been better recently.

Before, someone deliberately went to the restaurant to make trouble, and Lei Luo's identity was not enough to stop the scene, so he had to ask the government to arrest the troublemaker, but everyone knew that such a trivial matter could not do anything to the perpetrator, and now everyone targeted It is King Shun, without these dudes there must be others.

If Li Xu was in the capital, no one would dare touch his things until he was convicted for a day, but he is far away in South Vietnam, and he has been away from the capital for more than three years. Everyone's impression of him is getting weaker and weaker, especially young people. When he was a vassal who was despised by the emperor, he didn't have much ability at all.

Moreover, these dandies are all from the families of honorable generals. King Shun was accused of being the ultimate beneficiary of embezzlement of military pay. They naturally regarded King Shun as their enemy, so they didn't care about his identity.

Li Xu expected this to happen in advance, even if there was no such thing, as long as his business is transparent, someone will definitely come after him.

So he gave Lei Luo a sigh of relief, if someone makes trouble, you don't have to be polite, you should be sent to the official, and the compensation should be paid. Among the high-level officials of the court, Li Xu still has face, and he took advantage of it again. Who dares to bend the law for personal gain? , Just listen to Datian directly to see which side the emperor will stand on.

In addition, Li Xu also sent a pre-written memorial to Lei Luo. If he can't handle it well, he can pass this memorial up.

The memorial is a summary of the method of drying salt, which is very detailed. He told the emperor that after he arrived in South Vietnam, he found that the seawater was salty, which must be related to the salt, and then gradually tried to extract the salt from the seawater, which took more than two years. Finally he found the best method, but he didn't report it because he wasn't sure whether it would be successful or not. Now that he has the result, he dedicates the salt drying method to his father as a birthday present this year.

Lei Luo calculated the time correctly, and when the turmoil in the capital was getting bigger and bigger, he sent this memorial up. The effect was very obvious. Within two days, all the troublemakers were arrested and sent to prison, even their family members were arrested. Being implicated, a word from the emperor is more effective than any public opinion. For a while, no one dared to underestimate King Shun.

Lei Luo immediately asked him to publicize King Shun's political achievements, from when he was very smart when he was young, to this year's disaster relief, even the storyteller in the teahouse restaurant began to make stories about King Shun's deeds to spread.

Originally, King Shun had been active in gossip and public opinion for nearly half a year, and this move pushed him to the highest point. Anyone in the streets and alleys could tell one or two things about King Shun.

Lei Luo wants to tell the world that King Shun is not only talented and omnipotent, but also loves the people like his own son. He treats all beings as equals and promotes talented people regardless of their origins. He cares for the people, no matter they are poor or rich. Will he embezzle the Mexican army's salary because of his own selfishness?

You must know that in South Vietnam, it was King Shun who bought weapons for Kou’s army to make military uniforms, King Shun gave Kou’s army three meals a day with fish and meat, and King Shun gave pensions to the dead soldiers and promised to take care of the families of the dead. Such a prince, Will the officers and soldiers feel cold because they are greedy for the army's salary for their own selfishness?

It didn't take long for Li Xu's image to become taller in an instant, and they were basically positive. The poor students even organized themselves to sing praises for King Shun. They couldn't restrain their excitement. Many people even considered whether to go south to join King Shun. ambition.

Of course, repeating the old saying, King Shun's heavy use of a poor family will definitely offend the family, and it is inevitable that there will be gains and losses.

The emperor read King Shun's memorial several times, and said to his confidant eunuch: "Tell me, is Xu'er very capable? Just look at what he has done in just three years, improving farming and increasing grain production. , found something to keep out the cold, solved the difficulties of the common people in dressing and eating, and now discovered such a simple and quick method of drying salt, which is equivalent to solving the survival problem of the common people, I am proud of him."

Eunuch Zhao knew the emperor well enough to know that his mood at the moment was not as happy as he showed, so he said: "Of course these things are done by servants. How can the prince know farming and weaving? I heard that the climate in South Vietnam is good and the rain A lot, the food production must be higher than that in the north, that place was originally backward, after all, the prince was taught by you, and once you go there, the advantage will be highlighted? It's all thanks to you."

Hearing what he said, the emperor laughed heartily, "You are right, Xu'er was trained according to the crown prince, and has always been excellent. If the little Nanyue can't manage well, it will be my negligence. It can also be seen from this that he is indeed suitable to be the heir, if not..." The emperor drooped his brows quickly, and said angrily: "It's also my fault that I approved his marriage at the beginning. If he didn't marry a daughter of the Han family, he definitely wouldn't Being implicated, a good prince was abolished because of the Han family, that was my painstaking effort for more than ten years."

Eunuch Zhao knew that he still had a knot in his heart, so he didn't dare to continue talking about this topic. He told him interesting stories about the market, and finally brought the emperor's mood back.

"Do you think what happened to Ying Chuan really has something to do with King Shun?"

"This... this old slave can't say well. It is reasonable that Wang Shun is not such a person, but Zhu Yongle who died heard that he was promoted by King Shun. came back."

Eunuch Zhao really wanted to speak for King Shun, but he knew that saying good things about King Shun would actually hurt him at this time. Rumors spread all over the world that King Shun had the appearance of a wise king. Didn't this hurt him?Another day, I should find someone to remind them, lest King Shun suffer.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Is the evidence just a few letters?"

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Lei Luo belatedly realized that the rumors in Beijing were developing in an uncontrollable direction. He broke out in a cold sweat and said to his subordinates: "Quickly, send more people to investigate, who is taking the opportunity to disrupt the situation?"

After all, Lei Luo was too young, as confident as he was before, he was so annoyed at this time, he wrote a letter to King Shun, and at the same time wrote a letter to Guanshi Jin in the northwest. The news from South Vietnam came back, and the day lily was cold.

As soon as the letter was mailed, Ye Changqing brought his people to the capital that night, a day faster than An Qingping's team, and several horses ran to death.

Hearing what happened and the current situation from Lei Luo, Ye Changqing didn't even have time to rest, so he immediately tried to remedy it.

Seeing that Lei Luoyan was like an eggplant beaten by frost, he joked: "You don't have to blame yourself, you did the right thing, you need to praise King Shun to improve his image before, but there are always some old foxes who will Taking advantage of the opportunity to create chaos, using these rumors to push the prince into a situation where there is no end to redemption, since the other party has made a move, we will follow suit."

Lei Luo's mood improved a bit, and he said with some shame: "After all, I am inexperienced. I have already written to Guanshi Jin to invite him to come to the capital to sit in the city. Do you think it's okay, Mr. Ye?"

"Boss Jin, he is really calm and introverted. It's better for you to cooperate when you are still and move, but you don't know if you can walk in the northwest."

Li Xu didn't expect everything that happened in the capital, and as the wedding day approached, he gradually put down his official duties.

Although he didn't need to do anything for the wedding, as long as he was the groom's official, someone would take care of all the procedures and chores. The other groom ran home again because of his nervousness these days, without showing his face.

On this day, Liu Shu brought someone to deliver the dresses. It had only been two months since he proposed to get married. He had to make several sets of dresses, but the embroiderers were too busy and had to work overtime to make them.

"My lord, the dresses are here. Are General Kou's suits delivered to Kou's mansion or are you invited to try them on?"

"Ask him to come here, and send it over with great fanfare, wouldn't it tell everyone that the king is going to marry Kou Xiao?"

Liu Shu responded, and sent someone to invite General Kou, thinking at the same time: Even if you don't know today, everyone will soon know who you married, and you really didn't invite him back because you missed him.

Although Li Xu wanted to make the wedding grand, he didn't want to be too tiring, so he simplified a lot of procedures, and only three sets of dresses were enough.

His gowns are all made according to the prince's specifications, and each set is intricate and exquisite, layered on top of each other, and people are almost out of breath.

"Fortunately, the temperature has dropped recently, otherwise, who can hold up such a heavy dress, the heat will be too hot."

Liu Shu smoothed every part of his clothes, and said with a smile, "You should be thankful for the prince's dress. When you were the prince, the wedding dress was more complicated than this."

Li Xu's body froze when he heard this, he thought to himself: Yes, in terms of his status, he is already a second marriage, but he is not only his first marriage but also his first love, what a big loss.

Kou Xiao came after Li Xu had tried on three sets of dresses. When he entered the door and saw Li Xu standing in front of the full-length mirror in single clothes, his heart beat faster.

He has insomnia every day these days, nervousness and excitement are mixed together, and his mood is indescribably complicated. He is afraid that Li Xu will be influenced by him, so he went back to the Kou Mansion to see how the Kou Mansion is preparing.

"You are here, try on the clothes quickly, and change them if they don't fit, time is running out."

Li Xu prepared only two sets of dresses for Kou Xiao, both of which were men's styles. Of course, princes and concubines also have formal dresses, but they are not suitable for Kou Xiao, so Li Xu made two sets for him alone.

One is worn when going out. It is somewhat similar to the prince's dress. It looks like a couple's outfit, but I dare not use the same color and style, otherwise it will violate the regulations. The other is a dress for toasting. Since he married For men, there is no rule for women to wait for the groom's official return in the new house, so they will go to toast together that day.

Li Xu is obviously trying to make everyone blind. He may not have done such a crazy thing in his two lifetimes. I don't know if he can leave a mark in the history books.

But the official history of such absurd thing must not dare to write. Thousands of years later, when people read this story from the unofficial history, they may regard him as a negative teaching material.

If he really becomes the emperor in the future, and if the Great Yan Dynasty is defeated by him, then Kou Xiao will probably be scolded by the world, saying that he is like Daji Baosi, and there is nothing worse than this.

"My lord... my lord..." Liu Shu called Li Xu a few times, and found that he was obviously distracted, which is really rare.

Kou Xiao has already changed into a dress, with mighty and domineering written from head to toe, which is quite different from Li Xu's temperament in a dress.

Li Xu came back to his senses and saw the man standing in front of him with a look of amazement in his eyes.

The corners of Kou Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, and he put his hand on Li Xu's shoulder, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "How? Did you faint from me?"

Li Xu pushed him away and took a step back. He felt his face was very hot, so he must have blushed.

"You're so handsome, you must be the most handsome bride ever." Li Xu praised sincerely.

But no bride likes to be praised for being handsome, Kou Xiao is an exception. He is a man. It is estimated that there are not many men who can dress up and get married like him in ancient times. If Li Xu can't rewrite history, he will definitely because of This matter is famous through the ages.

He sighed: "The prince must inherit the throne, the last general doesn't want to live forever as a princess."

"How strange. Thousands of years later, when our story is discovered, many people will love our CP. Maybe they will write various stories with us as the protagonists. It feels very exciting."

Kou Xiao doesn't understand what CP is, and there's no need to understand it. Anyway, he can't see or hear things that will happen a thousand years later, so it has nothing to do with him.

After trying on the clothes, Kou Xiao had lunch in the palace before leaving. At the same time, an unremarkable carriage drove into the city gate. The driver asked the guard at the gate: "My little brother, how can I get to the Sheriff's Mansion?"
