Chapter 250 Found the Treasure Spot, Wanshou Mountain!
Looking at the street full of people kneeling down to ask for his return, Shang Jingchuan felt his heart surge and tears welled up in his eyes.
He suddenly felt that he had read the books of sages for so many years, but only at this moment did he truly understand what the people's will was.
But he didn't know that at this moment, at a corner not far from this street, a black carriage was parked.
The people in the carriage also saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"The people's will is what the emperor wants. Just for this reason, the emperor shouldn't remove his position."
Yan Peng, who was in charge of driving the carriage, didn't speak. In fact, he was also shocked.
Before, he always believed that the reason why Jingzhao Prefecture could achieve such brilliant results was entirely due to the contribution of Zhao Ya alone.
This Shang Jingchuan was just a mascot on the table.
But now this scene tells Yan Peng that Shang Jingchuan also made great contributions, otherwise why would the people ask for his return?
"Let's go to the palace." Yan Xizhao put down the curtains and said lightly.
"Yes!"
The black carriage passed through the city and came to the gate of the palace.
The guards at the gate wanted to stop him, but when they saw the logo on the carriage, they hurriedly retreated to the sides and stood respectfully to greet him.
The carriage drove straight into the inner court, and then Yan Xizhao got off the carriage.
"Hello, Your Highness!"
The eunuchs and palace maids knelt down and called him Your Highness.
Yan Xizhao was not only a disciple of Xijian Villa, but also a daughter of the Great Yan royal family and the sister of the current emperor. Her status was very noble.
"Where is my brother now?" Yan Xizhao asked.
A chief eunuch hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the emperor is in Rongxi Palace now."
"Rongxi Palace?" Yan Xizhao frowned.
She had been to the palace more than once, and had never heard of a place called Rongxi Palace.
"Yes, this was recently established by the Emperor for Concubine Rong, so Your Highness may not have heard of it."
"Take me there."
"Yes."
Rongxi Palace is in the inner courtyard. It was formerly the Queen's bedroom. But since Feng Rong entered the palace, the Queen has fallen out of favor. Even the bedroom was awarded to Feng Rong by Yan Tingshan and renamed Rongxi Palace.
When they arrived in front of Rongxi Palace, a young eunuch went in to report.
It took half an hour to go there. Yan Xizhao waited patiently at the door. Finally, the young eunuch ran back panting.
"Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to go in."
Yan Xizhao stepped into Rongxi Palace, crossed two corridors, and finally saw Yan Tingshan.
At this time, he was wearing casual clothes and half lying on the Luohan bed to rest. When he saw Yan Xizhao coming in, he struggled to sit up and a smile appeared on his face.
"Sister, why are you here?"
When Yan Xizhao saw Yan Tingshan, his heart skipped a beat.
Because Yan Tingshan's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he was too drunk and exhausted.
Suddenly, her eyes were full of light, and she turned her head to look at Feng Rong beside her.
As far as her eyes were concerned, Feng Rong, who was already a little uneasy, turned pale in an instant, and then trembled and hid behind Yan Tingshan, not even daring to raise her head.
Yan Xizhao frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart.
Because she found that Feng Rong's blood was stagnant, and he was clearly an ordinary person.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
At this moment, Yan Tingshan also noticed something strange, and hurriedly took Feng Rong's hand, comforted her, and then said to Yan Xizhao with some displeasure.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Yan Xizhao lowered his head, "Brother, I'm sorry. I was just curious and didn't pay attention to controlling my momentum. I may have disturbed the imperial concubine. I'm really sorry."
"Okay, okay, you must be more careful in the future. Rong'er is weak and can't withstand the momentum of a martial artist like you."
Yan Tingshan didn't dwell on this matter. He changed the subject and said, "Sister, you suddenly came to see your brother today. Is there something?"
"There is indeed one thing. Today I happened to pass by Jingzhao Prefecture and found that a large number of people gathered there. I asked and found that they all came for Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Shang Jingchuan."
Yan Xizhao described the scene he saw today in detail, and then said to Yan Tingshan.
"Brother, although this is a matter of the court, I shouldn't say too much, but Shang Jingchuan is so popular among the people. If he is forced to leave his post, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble, so I think he should continue to stay in this position?"
Yan Tingshan also frowned slightly, "Is there such a thing? Shang Jingchuan has only been the prefect of Jingzhao for two months, how can he have such a high reputation?"
"This is absolutely true. I heard from those people that it was because Shang Jingchuan wiped out many gangs in Yandu City as soon as he took office, and the ground became extremely peaceful all of a sudden, so they supported Shang Jingchuan so much."
While speaking, Yan Xizhao's eyes kept turning around Feng Rong who was hiding behind Yan Tingshan, and he became more and more confused.
Because no matter how you look at it, Feng Rong is just an ordinary person.
But looking at Yan Tingshan's condition, it is clear that his kidney essence has been greatly damaged.
Is this really something an ordinary woman can do?
Or is it because Yan Tingshan herself does not know how to restrain herself and attacks every day?
Feng Rong didn't dare to look up and kept avoiding Yan Xizhao's gaze, feeling even more panicked.
Even though they were in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, if Yan Xizhao really wanted to take action, there would be few people who could stop her.
Fortunately.
At this time, Yan Tingshan spoke, "If that's the case, I thought it was simple before, but now my decree has been issued, ordering him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, what should I do? Do I have to take back the order?"
"That's not necessary. After all, Dayan has no regulations that one person cannot hold multiple positions, so it's better to let him hold the position of Jingzhao Prefecture to reassure the people." Yan Xizhao said.
"Okay, then do as you say."
For Yan Tingshan, this is just a trivial matter. Since Yan Xizhao has spoken, there is no reason to refuse.
"Thank you, my brother."
"Hahahaha, do you and I need to be so polite between brothers and sisters? You haven't returned to the palace easily for so many years. It's not easy to come here once, why don't you stay here for two days." Yan Tingshan said.
"No need, there are still many things to deal with in the villa, and I have to go back."
Speaking of this, Yan Xizhao stood up and wanted to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly thought of something.
"Brother, although state affairs are important, your health is equally important, so I hope you take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
These words were very tactful, intended to remind Yan Tingshan to be restrained.
But Yan Tingshan didn't seem to understand at all, and nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister, I will."
Yan Xizhao knew that Yan Tingshan didn't listen at all, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She could only touch on this matter and couldn't go on.
So she nodded, then turned and left.
After she left, Feng Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said palely: "Your Majesty, the aura of this princess is so fierce, I'm so scared."
"Hahaha, don't be afraid, she is like this, you just get used to it."
Speaking of this, Yan Tingshan hugged Feng Rong in his arms and comforted her.
Feng Rong's eyes were charming as if they could drip water, and unknowingly provoked Yan Tingshan's anger again...
At the same time, more and more people gathered in front of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Lin Shizan's face became more and more ugly under the turmoil of the crowd.
He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing as soon as he took office.
He wanted to order his men to drive these people away, but when he saw the situation in front of him, Lin Shizan was a little scared. He hid in the lobby and didn't dare to come out, leaving Shang Jingchuan alone outside to deal with it.
Shang Jingchuan tried his best to appease the people, but no matter what he said, people just refused to disperse.
It was at this time that the decree was delivered.
When they heard that Shang Jingchuan would no longer leave his post, but would concurrently serve as the two official positions of Menxia Pingzhangshi and Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, the crowd burst into huge cheers.
"Good!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Shang Jingchuan was a little confused in the cheers.
Because he really didn't expect there would be such a decree.
Could this be the result of Zhao Ya's secret planning?
When he was confused, he saw those yamen runners and constables happily surrounding Shang Jingchuan again.
As for Lin Shizan.
As early as the decree was issued, he knew that the situation was over. Staying here would be useless except for losing face, so he had already quietly slipped out of the back door.
Shang Jingchuan sat back in the lobby.
At the same time, Zhao Ya stood on the eaves of a small building in the distance, talking to Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran.
"I thought I could take this opportunity to give these powerful and wealthy families a little shock, but I didn't expect Yan Xizhao to stop it all." Zhao Ya sighed.
He asked Chen Xiaoer to spread the news last night in order to arouse the resistance of the people, and then let them resist once, and finally force the Great Yan court to make concessions.
After all, only the rights that you fight for yourself are real rights. If you always want to wait for others to give you charity, you will never stand up.
As a result, Yan Xizhao suddenly took action and changed the outcome of the matter.
"This is not surprising. After all, Yan Xizhao is the daughter of the Great Yan royal family, so she naturally has to side with the Great Yan court." Wang Tiancheng said.
"But this ending is not bad. At least in the short term, those aristocratic families will not make any more small moves." Xu Nianran also said.
Zhao Ya nodded.
Although the process was not quite what he expected, at least the result was satisfactory.
"I guess those aristocratic families are cursing at home at this time." Wang Tiancheng laughed.
Then the three of them looked at each other and all laughed.
They really guessed it right. At this time, Yan Sifu was cursing in the Qi Wang Mansion.
"This is good. Not only did I not lose my position as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, but I also got an extra position of Menxia Pingzhangshi out of thin air. This Yan Xizhao is deliberately against me, right?"
Although Yan Sifu had already stated that he would no longer interfere in Shang Jingchuan's matter, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
So when he heard that he was going to be transferred, Yan Sifu was still very happy.
Unexpectedly, things changed when it was almost time. Now Shang Jingchuan not only did not suffer any loss of interests, but also got an extra position of Menxia Pingzhangshi out of thin air.
No one dared to speak.
After a period of impotent rage, Yan Sifu finally had no choice but to accept this reality. However, from now on, he, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, could no longer control Shang Jingchuan as before.
Because the position of Menxia Pingzhangshi was of high rank and honorable status, he could not take it lightly.
At the same time, there were many people in Yandu who were as angry as him.
The Wei family.
Wei Tianlin sent away Lin Shizan, who was full of grievances, and his face became gloomy.
"Master Wei, why did you suddenly call me here?"
A breeze blew by, and then the leader of the Bliss Sect appeared in the house.
"How long will it take for your people to kill Yan Tingshan?" Wei Tianlin said in a deep voice.
"It will probably take two or three months."
"So long?"
"There is no other way. To be safe and not be noticed by the people of Xijian Villa, Feng Rong, who was sent to the palace this time, is an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts. Although he has been practicing charm since childhood, he wants to use this to exhaust Yan Tingshan's essence. He must do it little by little."
"Why, Master Wei is anxious?"
"Well, I'm afraid that the people of Xijian Villa will notice it again. Feng Rong sent someone to send a letter today, saying that Yan Xizhao seemed to have some doubts about her after entering the palace."
"Don't worry, it's normal to have doubts, but no matter how they investigate, they can't find any problems." The leader of the Bliss Sect said confidently.
"I hope so. As long as Yan Tingshan dies, the court will immediately be in chaos because there is no heir. Yan Sifu, that idiot, will definitely fight for the throne. That will be the best time for us to take action." Wei Tianlin said with a gloomy look.
"Okay, but what about Shang Jingchuan? His power is getting bigger and bigger now."
"Don't touch him for the time being, because Yan Xizhao has already paid attention to him. If you touch him again, it will only alert the snake. As for power..."
"He has no foundation in the court, so even if he has some power, it is destined to be a tree without roots."
"During this period, I have been secretly contacting the Xuanyang Sect, and we have already discussed that when the time comes, they will act together, kill Zhao Ya first, and then deal with Shang Jingchuan."
"Okay, this is for you!" The leader of the Bliss Sect took out a small box from his arms and placed it on the table.
"What is this?"
"This is a strong aphrodisiac that I recently developed. You can present it to me when the time comes. I believe it will shorten the process." The leader of the Bliss Sect smiled sinisterly.
Under the calm water, undercurrents began to surge.
Most people were unaware, and only a few realized something was wrong.
Zhao Ya was one of them.
But for him, none of this mattered.
He had no sense of belonging to Dayan, and his previous actions were only for these ordinary people.
As for the emperor of Dayan, and who would be the emperor after his death, Zhao Ya didn't care at all.
At this moment, he was holding a piece of translucent paper and comparing it with the map bit by bit.
The translucent paper depicted the mountains, rivers and streams recorded in the collection of the Eastern King.
This was a very boring job, but Zhao Ya did it very seriously.
In front of him were atlases as high as a person, which had been compared.
And the map in his hand at this time was the last one in the pile of atlases that had been selected before and thought to have the greatest possibility.
It can be said that success or failure depends on this one move.
Suddenly.
Zhao Ya stopped his action, because the pattern depicted on the translucent paper was faintly overlapped with the atlas below.
This situation happened more than once, but it was ruled out without exception. However, this time was different because the overlap was the highest.
The key point was that one of the peaks was a perfect match for the treasure hiding place.
Zhao Ya compared it carefully again, and after confirming that it was correct, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"So it's here." Zhao Ya murmured, with an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
At the bottom of this atlas, there was a line of small words marked.
Wanshou County, Wanshou Mountain!
