Chapter 377: Looking for Someone (1 update)

The commander of the imperial guards replied in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Prince Rong (the third prince) are not at the manor. The manager of the manor said that the Crown Prince and Prince Rong have returned to the capital, but I went to Prince Rong's mansion and the Eastern Palace, but I didn't see the Crown Prince and Prince Rong."

The commander of the imperial guards was also confused. Two living people just disappeared like that! Isn't that strange?

Lu Chengtian frowned when he heard this. "No one is in the manor, the East Palace, or the palace. Could it be that they met some bad guys on the way?"

The commander of the imperial guards shuddered. "I have asked the guards to look for them on the road. I also carefully observed on the way back, and there were no signs of fighting."

The meaning was very obvious. The probability of meeting bad guys or assassins was not high.

Lu Chengtian dared not take it lightly. The remnants of the previous dynasty still wanted to restore the country. Last time

, he used a trick to dig out a large number of them. Although these people have been severely injured and they can't cause any trouble in the short term, there is no guarantee that these people will be forced to do something to the prince.

"Let the Nine-Gate Admiral take people to look for them. Anyone with suspicious behavior should be paid attention to. The city gate guards should inquire again whether the two princes have entered the city safely. Don't these guards know?"

Lu Chengtian had an ugly look on his face. The commander of the imperial guards didn't even dare to speak. He felt a strong sense of oppression.

When he finally walked out of Yu's study, his back was already soaked with sweat.

The capital was under strict martial law. Teams of officers and soldiers walked through the streets, and a large number of guards left the city. There was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

The people were so scared that they didn't dare to speak loudly. They were guessing what had happened.

The civil and military officials were also confused. The cabinet had not received any edicts, and no one knew what had happened.

Then, someone went to find the Nine Gates Admiral and the Commander of the Imperial Guards, but the two kept their mouths shut, and even the Prime Minister could not get any information out of them.

The ministers did not know what had happened, but since the Imperial Guards and the Nine Gates Admiral had been dispatched, it must be no small matter.

Some ministers who were involved in politics were a little panicked about the feeling of being out of control.

The people were very scared when they saw so many guards.

Lu Chengtian in the palace never got any news about the little prince and the third prince, and he was even more worried.

The two people who caused all this were now in a house full of blacksmiths that the little prince had found from various states.

All they could hear was the clanging of hammers and the whistling of bellows.

There were already a lot of plows, sickles and shovels in the warehouse, which were basically made according to the style of the farm tools that the little prince got from the small supermarket.

The little prince had used these tools himself, and many tenant farmers on the farm had also used them. The little prince asked people what the advantages of these farm tools were compared to the ones they used on a daily basis.

The tenant farmers had been farming for their entire lives, and no one understood the work in the fields better than them. When comparing the new farm tools with the old ones, they knew everything clearly and spoke very clearly.

Therefore, the young prince began to hammer in private. Although this was the first time that he used high-yield seeds, he only tried to plant them on his own farm, the farms of the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince. However, such labor-saving and easy-to-use agricultural tools still needed to be promoted.

However, iron tools were controlled by the court, and the amount of iron tools that each household could own was limited.

Therefore, he gathered the blacksmiths and asked them to make more first, and then sell them to the people.

Of course, he couldn't get involved in such a seemingly great achievement, and his brothers had to participate together.

So, considering that the third prince had worked with him to make fertilizer for several days, the young prince brought people over when he came back.

Lu Zerong was really surprised. He didn't expect that this little prince was so efficient that he even prepared half of the warehouse with farm tools.

In order to ensure that the people have enough food and not starve to death, the prince, who is honored with a golden and jade title, can lower his status and study the fertilizer of food. The third prince really thinks that the prince is very suitable to be the emperor.

If he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely become a wise ruler for all ages!

The third prince felt a little itchy in his heart. Looking at the little face in front of him with a bright smile, he didn't want to recommend the eldest prince or the second prince to be the prince.

"Third brother, when this batch of farm tools is finished, you should have someone deliver them to your farm. You have more than 300 acres of good farmland there. Although there are many tenant farmers, it is really too slow to work!"

The little prince muttered. This year is the first year of trial planting, and the little prince is very concerned. After all, this year's harvest determines whether these good varieties can be promoted to various prefectures.

Lu Zerong came back to his senses and thanked him with a smile, "Then I will accept it with pleasure."

The little prince immediately stretched out his hand, "Sincerely 1,000 taels."

The third prince: "..."

Very good, he looks like a rich minister.

In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, he will not have to worry about the treasury being empty. After all, he is so stingy!

"I have no money."

The third prince was desperate. He was going to marry a princess, so he had to save up some money.

The young prince was not angry either. "Since you have no money, then use it as collateral."

Then the third prince was arranged to find those craftsmen and record their construction skills in the form of text and pictures.

There was no way. He was busy farming now and really had no time to learn how to build houses, pagodas, pavilions and terraces.

The third prince wanted to regret it. After leaving the yard, he began to discuss various things with the young prince. He really wanted to use 1,000 taels to exchange for his freedom.

Of course, the young prince pretended not to hear it. He finally found a helper and couldn't run away. He quickened his pace.

The third prince chased after him.

After seeing two teams of guards in succession, the young prince was very confused, "What happened? Why are even the imperial guards dispatched?" The

third prince immediately had a brainwave, "Could it be that an assassin broke into the palace to assassinate my father?"

After all, my father was particularly prone to assassins.

The young prince immediately thought of the trap that Lu Chengtian had set during the Spring Festival. He nodded in agreement, "It could be that the assassination attempt failed and he escaped. My father was furious and ordered the imperial guards and the Nine Gates Admiral to act together."

The third prince stopped and looked back at the city gate, "That's not right. If it was an assassin, the city gate should have been closed long ago, right? If the city gate is open like this, wouldn't the assassin have escaped?"

The young prince thought about it and felt that it was right. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Will the eldest and second brothers arrive in Beijing tomorrow? Maybe my father wants to lead all the officials to welcome them in person at the city gate, so the imperial guards should first check and deploy defenses to eliminate danger."

"It is very likely." The third prince felt that this speculation made sense.

The two felt that they had guessed the truth and continued to walk towards the East Palace.
