Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

When Wu Bai returned to the weapon shop, Xiao Zimo hurried over and asked, "Have you caught up with that person?"

"Catch up, but he committed suicide by taking poison." Wu Bai said regretfully.

"Suicide by taking poison?" Xiao Zimo said thoughtfully, "It seems that this matter is really not simple."

"How to say?"

"I just asked the boss, the man in gray wants the boss to forge weapons for him for the next two months." Xiao Zimo replied.

"Two months, does he also want to use black iron to forge weapons?" Wu Bai asked.

Xiao Zimo shook his head and replied: "No, they are all ordinary long swords, no matter the quantity, as long as the boss forges them, the opponent wants them."

"Both?" Wu Bai frowned, realizing that there was something wrong with this matter.

While the two were talking, the boss closed the store door, walked towards them, and said, "You two young masters, I am very sorry, but I have decided to leave the capital. As for the sword you have ordered, I have returned the deposit to Young Master Xiao, and I am leaving! "

After saying this, the boss quickly left here.

"Oh, I finally found a suitable shop, it seems that I have to find another one." Wu Bai sighed.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to find a suitable shop." Xiao Zimo comforted.

The two left North Street and continued to look for weapons shops, but they found several, and they all said that they had received a big order and had no time to forge swords for them.

In desperation, Xiao Zimo took Wu Bai to Zhenbao Pavilion, and finally bought a suitable saber here. According to the shopkeeper, this long sword was the sword of a famous general more than 2000 years ago.

Wu Bai hugged the long box in his hand, and said curiously: "I don't know if Brother Four will like this saber."

"He will definitely like it." Xiao Zimo said, taking the long box in his hand.

Three Prince's Mansion

"Why are you back?" Wu Chen looked at his confidant in front of him and asked.

"My subordinate has arranged for King An's people to do what the master ordered. In addition, there was new news from the palace just now, and this subordinate rushed back to report to the master." The confidant replied.

"Say!"

"The Fourth Highness is about to return to Beijing." The confidant said.

"Wu Yi is going back to Beijing?" Wu Chen said in shock, "Is the news accurate?"

"It's absolutely true." The confidant nodded.

"Haha...God helped me too!" Wu Chen laughed loudly.

"Congratulations, Your Highness." The confidant said happily.

"Alright, step back first!" Wu Chen waved his hand.

"Yes." The confidant quickly disappeared into the study.

Wu Chen opened the study door, and walked quickly towards Ren Leyao's yard.

When Ren Leyao saw Wu Chen, he rushed towards him excitedly.

"Your Highness, it's been a long time since you came to my yard. Both my wife and Ling'er miss you so much." Ren Leyao said aggrievedly.

"I have important things to deal with. I didn't mean to neglect you mother and son. You see, I just came to your yard when I was free." Wu Chen coaxed.

"The concubine knows that His Highness is busy, and His Highness is busy going to sister's place these few days!" Ren Leyao complained.

Wu Chen held her hand, hugged her into his arms, and joked, "Are you jealous?"

"I am not jealous." Ren Leyao insisted.

"Okay, okay, it's rare for me to come to see you, do you really want to keep playing petty temper?" Wu Chen pretended to be displeased.

"I'm not playing petty temper. Your Highness hasn't come to my yard for so long. I just feel wronged." Ren Leyao bit her lip and said sadly.

Wu Chen comforted: "Don't cry, I know you are bored staying in the mansion, how about this, I allow you to go back to your natal family tomorrow to visit relatives, are you happy?"

Ren Leyao looked up and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Wu Chen nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ren Leyao laughed through tears.

After comforting Ren Leyao, Wu Chen went out to the House of the Minister of the Household Department.

Seeing him coming, Zhai Hongshen asked, "Why are you here?"

"Does uncle know that Wu Yi is going back to Beijing?" Wu Chen asked back.

"I just found out not long ago." Zhai Hongshen nodded and said.

"Are those officials in King An's court willing to obey me?" Wu Chen asked.

"They were not willing at first, but they were not willing to listen until I showed King An's letter," said Zhai Hongshen.

"It's the same when I think about it. These old foxes finally got rid of King An's control, and they are willing to submit to others so easily. Fortunately, King An was rescued by me, otherwise I would not be able to compete with the prince." Wu Chen sighed.

"The case of Yongyuan Mansion involved many people, especially the large number of vacancies in the official department. Now His Majesty has handed over this matter to the Crown Prince. It is obvious that he wants to break the previous balance and completely hand over the power to the Crown Prince. This matter This is not good for us." Zhai Hongshen said with a worried face.

Wu Chen said in a low voice: "Yes, I was going to think of a way to get my father to depose the prince, but I didn't realize how stupid I am until I heard what Uncle An said. What good is being a prince? Since my father treats me If you are not kind, then I will take his place!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhai Hongshen looked at Wu Chen in horror.

"Uncle looks very surprised?" Wu Chen said nonchalantly, "Uncle has always been wise and far-reaching, don't you think that such a day will come?"

Di Hong took a deep breath, and said, "I thought about such a day, but it's not the time of necessity, His Highness is too hasty."

"I have to? Hehe, if I really wait until that day, the whole court is already in the crown prince's pocket, what else can I fight with him?" Wu Chen said with a face full of madness.

"However, His Highness's name is not justified, and those historians and common people will not know how they will scold and attack His Highness. Could it be that His Highness doesn't even care about these things?" Zhai Hongshen persuaded.

"The history books are written by the victors, doesn't uncle understand even this?" Wu Chen asked rhetorically.

"This...you..." Zhai Hongshen was speechless.

Wu Chen laughed loudly and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to be less courageous than father-in-law!"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhai Hongshen asked.

"I have already told my father-in-law about my plan. He is more courageous than my uncle. After listening to my plan, he immediately agreed to cooperate with my plan." Wu Chen explained to him.

Di Hongshen asked: "Your plan? What plan?"

"I plan to force the palace on the day of my father's birthday banquet, and my father-in-law promised to use the opportunity of the Ministry of Rites to prepare the birthday banquet for my father to transport weapons into the palace for me." Wu Chen replied.

"You, why did you tell me now?" Zhai Hong took a deep breath and asked.

Wu Chen chuckled lightly and said, "I know that my uncle always seeks stability, so he will definitely not agree to my plan. Now that the plan has started, I still need my uncle's help in some places. Uncle will help me, right?"

"Does your mother know about this?" Zhai Hongshen asked.

"I was able to successfully rescue King An because of my mother's help." Wu Chen replied.

"Okay! You mother and son are really nice!" Zhai Hongshen gritted his teeth.

Zhao Fu

Wu Xuan and Zhao Huikang looked at Mother Zhao lying on the bed, and asked, "Have you seen it, doctor?"

Zhao's mother smiled and replied: "I have already invited you. The doctor said it was just a small wind chill and nothing serious. I have already told you not to tell you, lest you worry. I didn't think about it, but it alarmed you."

Father Zhao said, "The children care about you and came here specially to see you. Why do you still say these things? It's too outlandish."

"Why did mother suddenly catch a cold?" Zhao Huikang glanced at the silent aunt beside him, and then asked.

"This matter has nothing to do with anyone else. I heard that Brother Xuan is pregnant. I wanted to sew a small dress for your child. I forgot to close the window and caught a cold in the cold wind." Mother Zhao explained.

"Mother, the child is still young, so don't tire yourself too much." Wu Xuan persuaded.

"Mother knows." Mother Zhao nodded.

Several people talked for a while, Zhao's father called Zhao Huikang out of the room, and the father and son came to the study.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Zhao Huikang asked proactively.

"Weifu really wants to ask you for help." Zhao's father said awkwardly, "You know, Weifu has been in the position of Minister of Rites for many years, and now there are so many vacancies in the court, can you help Weifu?" Think of a way to move it up?"

"Father was joking, son-in-law cannot enter the court, you should be clear about this matter." Zhao Huikang refused.

Father Zhao continued: "Father knows that you cannot enter the court, but Brother Xuan's eldest brother is the crown prince, so you can ask him to speak nice words for me in front of the crown prince, right?"

"The prince is busy with official duties all day long. Brother Xuan needs to raise a baby now, so it is not suitable to walk around casually. If father wants to go up, he should recommend himself in front of the prince. If His Highness takes a fancy to you, it will be more useful than [-] good words from others." .” Zhao Huikang refused again.

"You!" Father Zhao looked at Zhao Huikang angrily, and said, "So, you refuse to promise me? Don't you care about your mother?"

"Is father threatening me?" Zhao Huikang asked back.

"I'm discussing with you." Father Zhao changed his words.

Zhao Huikang stared at Zhao's father and said: "Since you want to discuss this matter, that's fine, I'll tell you directly! If my mother makes a mistake in Zhao's residence, my father will take the whole family to be buried with me! I will do what I say, Father, weigh it yourself! As you said, Brother Xuan's eldest brother is the crown prince!"

"You!" Father Zhao trembled angrily.

"That's all I've said, father can figure it out!" Zhao Huikang left the study with his sleeves thrown.

Seeing Zhao Huikang come back with an ugly face, Wu Xuan hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just had a few quarrels with my father." Zhao Huikang shook his head, held Wu Xuan's hand, and comforted him, "Don't worry!"

"It's fine, it's getting late, let's go home! I'll see my mother some other day." Wu Xuan said.

"Okay." Zhao Huikang nodded, and then helped Wu Xuan leave the Zhao residence.

next day

Wu Bai went to the palace to visit the emperor, he took the pulse of the other party, and said happily: "Father's pulse has calmed down a lot, and his complexion looks very good."

"Hahaha... Since I used the Anshenxiang you prepared for me, I sleep well every day, and my complexion will certainly improve." The emperor said with a smile.

"Then why didn't you light this soothing incense today?" Wu Bai asked curiously.

Wang Fu hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Concubine Li just came to visit His Majesty, and she said that she didn't sleep well last night, so His Majesty gave her the tranquilizing incense formulated by the Fifth Young Master."

"Father—you should save some for yourself!" Wu Bai gave the emperor a reproachful look.

"Haha, I feel much better, and I don't need it for the time being." The emperor explained with a smile.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll redeploy some and send them over when I go back." Wu Bai said.

The emperor nodded and agreed, "Okay, by the way, why didn't Prince Consort Xiao come with you today?"

He remembered that these two people were inseparable from each other on weekdays.

"He's gone to Brother Xuan's house, Royal Father, you're going to be a grandfather now." Wu Bai said happily.

"Really?" The emperor smiled from ear to ear, and told Wang Fu a long list of rewards, and asked him to send them to Wu Xuan's mansion.

After Wang Fu left, the emperor looked at Wu Bai and asked, "Brother Xuan has good news, when will you and Concubine Xiao have good news?"

Wu Bai: "..." I don't understand why the topic has turned to me.

"Father, my son actually has other things to tell you about entering the palace today." Wu Bai changed the subject.

The emperor glanced at him, but did not pierce his small thoughts, but asked, "What's the matter?"

"...That's the way it is. Since he committed suicide by taking poison, I haven't found out his origin for the time being." Wu Bai told what happened to him yesterday.

The emperor didn't expect to hear such a thing, and he said solemnly: "I know about this, please don't tell others just yet."

"I understand." Wu Bai nodded.

"Okay, you step back first!" The emperor waved his hand.

"Resignation, my son." Wu Bai got up and left the emperor's bedroom.
