Chapter 12

Hearing his wife's words, Chu Zhongtian was silent. Emperor Taizu beat down the mountains and rivers of Dazu. But Taizu's descendants died in the war of reunification. So Taizu's younger brother adopted his second son to Taizu, the present King of Qi.

In a tragic war, Taizu and other powerful people died together. Because the adopted son was still young and the land he had just struck was still unstable, so he passed the throne to his younger brother, Emperor Taizong, on his deathbed.

Emperor Taizong inherited the will of Taizong and unified the eight wastelands and six harmonies. Unfortunately, because there were too many old wounds on the battlefield, and it was not many years before the deadline was reached, Emperor Taizong made a difficult choice when choosing his successor.

According to reason, his throne came from his brother's line. At that time, he took over the throne because he was too small for the future of his family and country. Now he should return the throne to the king of Qi who grew up.

But people are selfish. Although the king of Qi is also his son, he has passed on to Taizu and is a member of another room. Naturally, he is not as good as his real eldest son, King Jin.

Therefore, he played a small trick and ordered the two to pass on the throne to the one who broke through the realm of the earth immortals first.

At that time, the king of Jin was much older than his second son, king Qi. Moreover, as Emperor Taizong, he had more resources to use. He helped him secretly. Naturally, the king of Jin took the lead in breaking through the realm of earth immortals, and succeeded in succeeding to the throne, that is, the Emperor Gaozong.

However, there were still many old ministers who were loyal to Taizu at that time. Naturally, Taizu's wife family also supported the king of Qi. In order to appease these powerful forces, Taizong said ambiguously that his brothers would end up with their younger brothers, which calmed down a period of disaster.

However, a hundred years later, when Gaozong was close to the decline of heaven and man, he made his son the crown prince, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the king of Qi. In addition, the prince's moderate posture was far less than that of the king of Qi. Many other courtiers also moved their minds.

But after all, Emperor Gaozong had been emperor for hundreds of years, and his confidants were powerful enough. These years, the two groups had been fighting openly and secretly.

The Chu family has two major industries of salt and iron, which can be said to be extremely rich. Naturally, such a large and important family will be attracted by both sides. However, Chu Zhongtian is not willing to be involved in the dispute over the crown prince, and has always remained neutral. A few days ago, the Royal faction planned to send someone to the Chu family for marriage promotion and tie it to the chariot completely.

If Chu's family is not known, it will be very difficult for them to marry another Chu family.

Chu Chu Yan also knew all this, so he offered to recruit a son-in-law. He found the most useless guy in the city as his son-in-law. He hastily held a wedding ceremony, which completely cut off the minds of the emperor and the king of Qi.

Therefore, Qin Wanru suspected that the destruction of Lingquan was sent by the emperor or the king of Qi.

"No matter which side it is, we will have a hard time in the following days," said Chu Zhongtian in a deep voice. "Sang Hong is going to take over the post of prefect of Linchuan county." The moon city is in the jurisdiction of Linchuan county.

Qin Wanru's face changed slightly: "Da Si Nong Cheng Sang Hong!"

Da Si Nong is one of the nine ministers in charge of state finance. Da Si Nong Cheng is the second in command of Da Si Nong. Sang Hong, who has always been in charge of salt and iron, is the emperor's confidant. This time he was sent to be the governor of Linchuan. It is clear that he came from the Chong Chu family.

"I've heard that this man is cruel and ruthless. I don't know how many nobles in the capital have been ruined by him these years. I'm afraid our Chu family will be in danger this time." Qin Wanru was worried.

Seeing his ever strong wife showing a soft look, Chu Zhongtian hugged her in his arms: "soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Our Chu family is not easy to bully. He Sanghong is just a grade eight. It is still unknown who will win or die."

Qin Wanru gave her husband a look: "is it hard to deal with? It's not just about personal cultivation. Chen Xuan, the robber of Longyin mountain outside the city, is only a sixth grade. You haven't killed him for so many years?"

Chu Zhongtian snorted: "Chen Xuan is a slippery guy. Every time I get the news, he has disappeared. So I suspect that there is an agent in the city who informs him. Otherwise, how can we not catch him for so many years?"

Qin Wanru's eyes turned: "this group of thieves not only sell private salt, but also rob and kill passing caravans. They throw this problem to Sang Hong. As a prefect, can he still sit around and ignore it?"

Chu Zhongtian's eyes brightened: "madam, good idea. By the way, I heard that the caravan of the jade family is coming to Mingyue city recently. I have to inform them so as not to be ambushed by Chen Xuan's group of people Oh, it hurts... "

Before he had finished speaking, Qin Wanru pinched his ear: "I think you are worried about the mistress Yu Yanluo. The first beauty of the capital, you have never shamelessly pursued others. Unfortunately, she married the magistrate of Yunzhong. Why, do you still want to take advantage of this opportunity to continue the front line? "

Chu Zhongtian hastily begged for mercy: "madam, people have been married for so many years, how can I have other ideas? Don't talk nonsense."

Qin Wanru didn't let go and snorted: "as far as I know, the Duke of Yunzhong died unexpectedly a few days ago. Now yuyanluo is single."Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up: "really?"

He immediately felt two murderous eyes coming from his side, and quickly changed his words: "madam, I don't even know these things, which proves that I have never paid attention to her. What's more, you don't know my situation. How can you have any thoughts?"

Seeing his gloomy expression, Qin Wanru quickly loosened his ear: "husband, I'm sorry."

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I am sorry for you."

If Qin Wanru didn't want to see him like this, he quickly moved away from the topic: "by the way, where did Chu Yan go?"

Chu Zhongtian replied, "she took Miss Pei to the city to play."

Qin Wanru frowned: "she comes from Pei family. She should be a member of the king of Qi. She suddenly came to Mingyue college to study. I always feel that she has some bad intentions."

Chuzhongtian ha ha a smile: "don't worry, your family at the beginning of the face so smart, the heart has its own discretion."

Qin Wanru hummed: "that Pei Mian man is not old, but he is born like a fox who reverses all living beings. That pair of peach blossom eyes seems to seduce men at any time. I don't like her."

Chu Zhongtian was dumbfounded and laughed: "are you still worried that she will rob men with Chu Yan?"

Thinking of Zuan's bad luck, it's hard to imagine Pei mianman's liking for him. Qin Wanru couldn't help laughing: "if she really snatched that bastard away, I'd love it."

A-choo ~

zu'an sneezed fiercely, thinking that she did not know which lady was missing her.

"Uncle, have you suffered from the cold? I'll find you a thick dress to wear." A startled voice sounded, Zuan did not respond, a figure will take a dress around his body.

Zuan looked at the young man in front of him. He was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was dressed in blue and had two buns on his head. His eyes were very big, looking at the tender flesh.

"No, man. Who are you?"

"My uncle is so small. The little one is your schoolboy." The young man had a flattering smile.

"Schoolboy?" Zuan was stunned at first. Then he reflected that he was going to Mingyue academy as mentioned before, but he just went to a family private school. Did he use books specially for schoolchildren?

It seems that the Duke's house is really a big dog family. Well, I like it.

"What did you call me?"

"Uncle?"

"I didn't hear you. Louder?"

"Uncle!"

"Good, good. You have a future."

Zuan's face suddenly burst into joy. Since he came to this world, he has not met with a good thing. Although he is the son-in-law of the Duke's mansion, who in this family pays attention to him? Not to mention calling him uncle.

It's rare that a little schoolboy is so smart that Zuan feels very comfortable all over.

"By the way, what's your name?"

The little bookboy's spirit was shocked, and he quickly replied, "go back to my uncle, the little one is called Shou Ping."

"What bottle?" Zuan thought that the common bookboys are not called "Laifu Wangcai" or "Hua'an". The more simple and easy to remember, the better. Why does this guy's name sound so strange?

"Chengshou bottle, a tight lipped one, was given to me by the master himself in those years." Speaking of this, the little bookboy raised his chest and said with pride.

"Yes, I can get my name in person." Although zu'an didn't know the customs of this world, it was the same in every world he wanted to come to. It was a great honor for the master to give his name. Like Zheng Chenggong in his previous life, after he was given his surname by the emperor, he was called the state surname Lord one by one.

"I'm flattered. When I was working with my master, I was very pleased with him. Later I was transferred to the back kitchen. I thought there was something wrong with the master. Now I know that I have been arranged to be your schoolboy. Only then can I know the master's good intentions. In the past few years, I must be able to sharpen me and prepare me for more important missions." Cheng Shouping talks about these, his eyes are shining and his face is excited.

"Wait..." How does Zuan feel that the more he listens to it, the more unpleasant he feels? What's the matter with his uncle? He can't help but think that this guy thinks it's a good job?

It seems that IQ is not very high.

What's more, why was this guy assigned to a place like the back kitchen when he was working with Master Chu at the beginning?

However, he obviously didn't care much about these things. He was more concerned about his own problems: "listen to what you just said, you should have stayed in the Chu family for a long time, you should know a lot of things."

Cheng Shouping patted his chest: "that's natural. There's nothing I don't know about from the Chu family to the master and wife and from the cook to the boy."

Zuan is just going to inquire about the information of his family. He has only been here for two days and so many people want to kill him. However, he still doesn't know what the problem is, which makes him feel a great sense of crisis.

He thought and asked, "do you know why the Chu family chose me as their son-in-law?" This is what he is most puzzled about. To know Chu Yan's appearance, stature and family background, they are all top-notch. From any point of view, Zuan in this world is a waste. Normally speaking, these two people should not have any intersection. It is really strange that they should be married.Hearing his question, Cheng Shouping looks at him suspiciously: "isn't it because my uncle Yushulinfeng is handsome?"

Zuan's eyes are straight. This guy's ability of serious nonsense is really quite like my uncle's: "cough, although I know you're telling the truth, is there any other reason?"

"No, at that time, the young lady chose you because you were handsome." Cheng Shouping thinks that you can't find any other advantages besides this. Is there no B number in his heart? Of course, he didn't show these ideas at all. At the moment, his eyes and expression are as sincere as possible.

"Oh, you say the lady picked me up herself?" Zuan was keenly aware of the information in his words.

"Yes, my wife was not very satisfied at that time. I advised her to think twice." Cheng Shouping replied.

"You don't have to say anything that doesn't matter," he interrupted

At first, he guessed that Chu Chu Yan had to marry himself because of his parents' orders, so he was dissatisfied and killed. According to Cheng Shouping's saying, this possibility can be ruled out directly.

But why did Chu Yan choose himself as his son-in-law? The girl's eyes are very bright, not blind.

Bah, bah, bah, she must have been convinced by my handsome appearance and greedy for my body.
