Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1887

As soon as Emperor Zhaowu entered Lingzhou, he heard rumors about his younger sister.

"Princess Haiyan was very ambitious. The prince consort was originally a son of the emperor who was exiled to the common people. She thought that the prince consort could ascend the throne and become the new emperor. But who knew that the prince consort died in Iron Horse City."

"She must be unwilling to see her dream shattered. As soon as she entered Lingzhou, she used General Jiang as an example to establish her authority. She wanted to insert him into her confidant with justification."

"Just wait and see. A large number of officials will lose their official positions and will be replaced by her people."

"The princess also wants to completely take over the salt industry, grain industry and all walks of life. She has a big appetite."

"That General Wu is ostensibly a garrison general sent by the imperial court, but in reality he is the princess's private soldier."

"There are two more people, one with the surname Tang and the other with the surname Ma, who are also the princess's men. You can wait and see, one will take over the position of the garrison general of Gongcheng, and the other will take over the position of the garrison general of Songcheng."

"In this way, Tiema City, Gong City, and Song City will be connected... Haha, sooner or later they will rebel against the imperial court."

"The new emperor is blind and actually gave Lingzhou to the princess as a fiefdom. The princess is now like a fish in water..."

The blind new emperor squeezed into the crowd and listened to gossip silently for a while, then tightened his cloak and was about to leave.

Someone asked him to chat, "You look rich, so you must be the son of some wealthy family."

Emperor Zhaowu smiled faintly and made up a story, "The surname is Zheng."

The man suddenly realized, "Zheng family...Fourth Young Master?"

Emperor Zhaowu smiled faintly again, did not answer, and walked away.

The man ran to report to his master, saying that he had met the fourth young master of the Zheng family.

Someone from the Zheng family, a big grain family, has come.

Emperor Zhaowu got on the carriage and sent people to investigate what the Zheng family was and what kind of person the fourth son of the Zheng family was.

He made up a story and people took it seriously. It was a fresh feeling.

Soon, the attendant reported, "The Zheng family is a large grain producer. Almost half of Lingzhou's grain comes from the Zheng family."

Emperor Zhaowu thought that the rice of our court was first sent to the Zheng family's granary, and then distributed to the people at a high price.

How can ordinary people afford it?

He was furious, but he didn't show it on his face. He found an inn to stay in and asked his subordinates to continue collecting information about the Zheng family.

Another day passed, and the subordinate reported, "The fourth son of the Zheng family is called Zheng Xian. He looks gentle and generous on the surface, but in fact he is a petty and cruel person. He has close contacts with Jiang Zhongxin."

Emperor Zhaowu, who was mistakenly identified as the fourth son of the Zheng family: "......"

It was really heartbreaking. I don't know why that person was so blind as to think he was the fourth son of the Zheng family.

He asked Xiao Shuzi, "Do I look gentle?"

Xiao Shuzi curved his eyebrows and said, "The master is gentle and kind."

Emperor Zhaowu glanced at him, "Why do I feel like you are talking about an old man?"

He is clearly in his prime, with a handsome face.

Xiao Shuzi opened his mouth and said, "The master is handsome and unparalleled in the world, and he is young and promising."

Emperor Zhaowu was still young after all, and liked to hear words like “unparalleled in the world”.

The wind had not yet died down, and the snow had not yet stopped. Emperor Zhaowu ordered, "Go to Enyi Inn."

It was already noon when we entered the inn.

Emperor Zhaowu traveled incognito and few people knew him. The doorman of the inn thought he was an old acquaintance of the princess and went in to report that a young master named Xiao wanted to see him.
