People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 274

After everyone had introduced themselves to each other, Wu Yu began to ask Hua Manlou about what had happened in the capital during this period.

According to Hua Manlou, because Ye Gucheng was going to fight Ximen Chuxue, the entire Beijing city was now almost occupied by martial artists from all over the world.

After all, it was a decisive battle between a generation of sword immortals and a sword god, and it was hard not to attract attention. Only Wu Yu and Hua Manlou had a good relationship, otherwise they would not even have a place to stay, unless Wu Yu was willing to arrange them in Prince Xin's mansion.

But this was obviously impossible. If it was some princes in other places, it would be fine, but in the capital, martial artists were never allowed to stay in the prince's mansion. This was a rule set by Emperor Taizong in the past and no one could break it.

Because the reason why he was able to quickly break through Shuntian City in those days, in addition to the desperate fighting of his soldiers, the martial artists hidden in the city also contributed greatly.

So in order to avoid a recurrence of the situation, Zhu Di set a rule after moving the capital to Beijing that any prince who had not yet been enfeoffed was absolutely not allowed to keep retainers in his mansion, and the so-called retainers naturally referred to those people from the underworld.

"By the way, where is Lu Xiaoji? Why can't I see him?"

Wu Yu was very curious about the fact that Lu Xiaofeng was not at Hua Manlou.

Hua Manlou did not hide it, "I'm afraid he is very busy at the moment!"

Wu Yu was very curious when he heard this, and after asking, he realized that it was all because of the tickets.

This is because Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue were going to fight in the Forbidden City, but the Forbidden City was an important place in the imperial palace after all, and it was naturally impossible for ordinary people to enter.

So Zhu Youxiao thought of a way, that is, to let Lu Xiaofeng take out six golden silk ribbons, and only those who carry the silk ribbons can enter the palace to watch the amazing duel between the sword fairy and the sword god.

But after all, there are only six ribbons, so who to give them to has become a huge problem.

After all, this is not just a question of ribbons, but a question of face. Imagine that others can get tickets to enter the Forbidden City to watch the decisive battle between the Sword Immortal and the Sword God, but you can't. What does this mean? This means that you don't have enough face and are outdone by others.

What is the most important thing in the world of martial arts? Naturally, face, so Lu Xiaofeng has been very annoyed by the issue of the ownership of the ribbons during this period. After all, no matter who he gives it to or not, he will offend a large number of people.

Although Lu Xiaofeng is conceited, he is not to the point of ignoring the entire martial arts world. If he really offends so many people, he will not be able to mix in the martial arts world in the future. So in order not to offend anyone, he simply hides and sees no one.

"Golden silk ribbon!"

Hearing these four words, Wu Yu's eyes lit up immediately. If he remembered correctly, in the original novel, because the prince of the Southern King wanted to rebel, he specially imitated hundreds of silk ribbons in order to let those people in the underworld attract the attention of the palace guards to cover up his impersonation of the emperor.

So in Wu Yu's opinion, it would be better to do the imitation of silk ribbons himself than to let the prince of the Southern King do it. It would be best to sell it openly, and he would definitely make a lot of money in the end.

And he believed that Zhu Youxiao would definitely agree after listening to his ideas. Of course, this kind of thing could not be done openly, so the person who took the blame was indispensable. As for the candidate, he had even thought of it for Zhu Youxiao.

Wei Zhongxian, except for this famous nine thousand years old, no one else could take on this important task.

As for whether so many people from the underworld would cause trouble after entering, Wu Yu said that with him there, those people would not be able to stir up any trouble. If they really pissed him off, he would not mind killing a few chickens to scare them.

Originally, Wu Yu did not want this, but there was no way he would have to sit in that position soon.

As the saying goes, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't manage the household. With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, there are too many places where money needs to be spent. I am afraid that my small treasury will be squandered in a short time.

As for the national treasury and the inner treasury, I am afraid that they are cleaner than Zhu Youxiao's face now. Didn't you see that it has been so long since the Wanggongchang explosion, but less than one-tenth of the houses have been rebuilt.

Why? Of course it is because of poverty. The Ming Dynasty is really poor now. If you don't find a way to make money, I am afraid that there will be no need for the refugees to rebel, and those officials will be in trouble first.

After all, although there are many corrupt officials, there are also many honest officials. If they really starve to death, who will let the Zhu family govern the world? Will they rely on those corrupt officials who are just sitting in office and eating for free?

So he doesn't intend to miss any opportunity to make money. He doesn't want to be like Chongzhen in history and die of poverty.

Isn't being an emperor for enjoyment? If you don't enjoy it, why be an emperor? Wouldn't it be better to just be a rich man?OK.

"Senior Brother?"

Seeing Wu Yu's eyes glowing with gold, Qian Qian beside him pushed him cautiously.

Hearing someone calling him, Wu Yu first calmed down, and then said to Hua Manlou: "So, Lao Hua, you find a way to contact Lu Xiaoji and ask him to come to see me as soon as possible, and say that I have a big business to discuss with him."

"Big business?"

Hua Manlou looked puzzled, but Wu Yu obviously would not explain more.

Then everyone toasted each other again, and began to talk about the various interesting things they had encountered in the past year.

Towards evening, everyone dispersed, and Wu Yu asked Hua Manlou to arrange accommodation for Qian Qian and others, and then returned to Prince Xin's Mansion.

Early the next morning, Wu Yu had just finished breakfast and was about to go out when he heard Wang Chengen tell him that someone from the palace had come, saying that Zhu Youxiao wanted to see him.

"Got it! "

He packed up briefly, got into the carriage arranged by Wang Chengen, and then drove towards the Forbidden City.

He arrived outside the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity without any obstruction, and then Wu Yu saw an old eunuch in his sixties, wearing a python robe and tall in stature, waiting for him.

Character: Wei Zhongxian.

Identity: Eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, the chief supervisor of the East Factory.

Realm: Innate martial arts.

Kung Fu: Heavenly Wrath Sword Technique (mid-grade heavenly level)...

After reading Wei Zhongxian's information, Wu Yu suddenly thought of this Zhu You Zhu Youxiao is surrounded by talented people.

First there is Fang Zhenghua, who is at the Grandmaster level, and then there is Wei Zhongxian, who is at the Xiantian level. If Cao Zhengchun and Wang Zhi are added, then he has a Grandmaster and three Xiantians around him.

These four alone are enough to sweep away most of the sects in the martial arts world, not to mention the group of old worshippers in the worship hall. No wonder the Ming imperial family can suppress the entire martial arts world.

"Your Highness Prince Xin, please follow me. The emperor has ordered that you go to the harem to meet the queen first, and the emperor will go there later."

"Sister-in-law?"

Wu Yu didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to ask him to go to Kunning Palace to wait for him, but it can be seen from this that the other party should not be looking for him this time for state affairs, but simply chatting about family matters.
