Wen Sutong's mansion is not big, but it is decorated in a Jiangnan style. After all, he comes from an official family of the Qian Kingdom. In terms of taste and style, there is really nothing to say.
Uncle Zheng and the blind man came to visit. Wen Sutong opened the front door and came to greet them personally with a cane.
Afterwards,
Uncle Zheng went to the study alone to take a nap;
Firstly, because the performance in the Imperial Studyroom in the morning consumed too much energy; secondly, He wanted to leave the opportunity to speak to their son-in-law, and at most he would show up and say a few polite words when he was leaving at the end.
Perhaps because of the armor on the body, the body naturally switches to some functions on the battlefield, making it easier to fall asleep.
Uncle Zheng really fell asleep.
While Uncle Zheng was sleeping,
A red-robed eunuch led the eunuch to the lake pavilion and opened the iron door.
"Commoner Ji Chengyue accepts the order."
The third prince, dressed in white, looked at the scene in front of him with some astonishment. He had already prepared that there was no hope of leaving here in this life. Really Unexpectedly, the imperial edict would come at this time.
"My dearest minister... the common people bow to me, long live my emperor."
The red-robed eunuch smiled slightly and read out the decree:
"Fengtian Carrying the emperor's edict, the common people Ji Chengjue..."
The edict can be roughly divided into two meanings.
One meaning is to admonish him for the mistakes he made in the first place. Of course, it is impossible to clearly state in the imperial edict what Ji Chengjue did in the first place. The other is nothing more than laziness and disobedience;
The second meaning is that His Majesty thinks that you have a good attitude in Huxinting in the past few years, so you can leave here. It is impossible to restore your status as a prince, but you are allowed to enter the clan mansion.
That is to say, your status as a royal family will be restored, but you will not be given any treatment.
But he is a prince after all. This dynasty has concluded that if there is an amnesty in the future, he will at least be able to inherit a title. In short, the most difficult hurdle is over.
"My son, thank you Lord for your kindness."
Ji Chengjue knelt on the ground and raised his hands.
The red-robed eunuch put the imperial edict in his hand and helped him up. The third prince was already in tears.
"Your Highness, I will help you go back. Your Majesty wants you to continue living in the prince's residence. The palace doctor is also ready to diagnose your condition."
< p>"Thank you, father-in-law, thank you...Father."After being imprisoned in Huxinting for several years, the damage to the body is obvious. It is easy to get to the root of the disease. After being released, it is necessary to Follow the doctor's instructions to take good care of yourself.
When the red-robed eunuch looked at the third prince in front of him, he felt a sense of intimacy.
After all, this third prince is now a member of the same family as himself.
Once this man gets rid of that root, over time, he will naturally develop a feminine aura;
Besides, the third prince originally liked reading poetry and books, and his temperament was more literary.
The red-robed eunuch immediately dispelled these miscellaneous thoughts in his mind. What on earth was he thinking about?
In the carriage,
the red-robed eunuch personally brought a cup of tea to Ji Chengyue.
Ji Chengyue took the tea with both hands and begged:
"Father, I left some books, calligraphy and paintings there. I was in a hurry before and didn't take care of them. Could you please Father-in-law..."
"Your Highness, you just give the order. The Zajia family cannot bear your "please", and the Zajia family will send someone to get it later."< /p>
"Thank you, father-in-law."
"Your Highness is very polite."
The carriage was passing through the streets.
Ji Chengyue smelled the aroma of sesame cakes and inhaled subconsciously.
The red-robed eunuch has been serving people since he was a child. Although he has now climbed to a high position in the palace, he has never left behind his housekeeping skills. He immediately ordered a young eunuch outside to buy it. Two pancakes.
Ji Chengyue held the hot biscuits just out of the oven and devoured them hungrily.
"Your Highness, please eat slowly, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
In fact, although the food at Huxinting is mainly simple meals, this simple meals are not good for In terms of Biao Xiaomin's life, it's not bad, but the food needs to be inspected when it is delivered. By the time it actually falls in front of Ji Chengyue, it is basically cold;
It's not bad in summer. , in winter, you can only use a small stove to make tea to heat rice.
He was not greedy for the sesame seed cakes,
but for the hot smell of fireworks.
In other words,
What he craves is the taste of freedom.
After eating the two sesame cakes, Ji Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the already cold tea, drank it all in one gulp, and kept the tea foam in his mouth to continue chewing.
This is a habit he has developed in the Huxin Pavilion in the past few years.
Immediately,
Ji Chengyue looked at the red-robed eunuch and said:
"Father, when can I go to express my gratitude to my father?"< /p>
"Your Majesty did not order this."
"I understand."
Ji Chengyue had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
…………
“I said, Fifth Brother, you are leaving, what are you still busy with here?”
The fourth prince sat On the table next to him, he watched the fifth prince drawing drawings.
"Didn’t you see it, fourth brother? My brother and I are drawing blueprints. Some of the water conservancy methods recorded in ancient books and collected by my brother himself are not of any use. I just want one to confirm each other. "
"Oh, I know you are drawing, but you are a river worker, and you probably can't fix it."
"Oh? Is there any news about the fourth brother?"
p>"No talent, how many people are there in the Ministry of War?"An acquaintance. ”
The maternal clan of the fourth prince is the Sanshi Deng family. Although the Deng family was defeated in the first Battle of Wangjiang, there is still some legacy left behind. Furthermore, he himself is a prince. It’s not difficult to find out some information.
“What’s the matter? ”
“Today, there seemed to be military discussions in the royal study. "
"What's this? "
"The talk from the Ministry of War seems to be picking up at the meeting tomorrow. "
"Wind? ”
“Maybe, there’s going to be a war. ”
“Now, fight? "
"Yes, the battle that leads to the court meeting is not like the little fight between the eldest emperor brother and that boy from Qianguo in Nanwang City. "
"How to fight? Fourth brother, it’s not like you don’t know what’s going on in Dayan’s treasury, otherwise we wouldn’t still be living here. ”
According to established rules, the prince’s national treasury and internal treasury will allocate a “settlement fee” to purchase a house. At the same time, the prince’s monthly salary will also be greatly increased to provide for his family.
p>When you live in the prince's mansion, theoretically there is a big pot of rice, meals are provided, and there are also several eunuchs and maids to serve you, and the monthly salary is almost as low as that of Xiao Qi in the palace.
In fact, it’s not just that. In the past two years, the old man in the family has left, and the discounts waiting for Chengjue’s descendants have also been put on hold.
You are a year late. By accepting the title, the court will be able to save money and food for a year. They are going through the process to determine your identity, judge your character, and see whether you are qualified to receive the title, and what level you need to be lowered in order to receive the title.
Do you dare to make trouble?
Yes.
In more serious cases, your character will be deemed unqualified and your family title will be taken away. I'll give you two more grades to help you remember.
The princes of Dayan, that is, take the fourth prince and the fifth prince as an example. What they are competing for now is the prince's political treatment. After the palace is established, It must be equal to the living treatment of a prince.
This treatment must continue until a brother between them ascends the throne, and their relationship with the Supreme changes from prince to royal brother. Then according to tradition, they will automatically Please demote me.
Leaving aside the salary for their errands in the court, it is actually only two hundred taels of silver a year, but as princes, they can get ten thousand taels of silver a year plus food. Ten thousand stones, this does not include the palace rewards of four sections of welfare and filial piety.
For other titles, the annual money and food are definitely not as much as the prince, but the number of nobles cannot stand up to Dayan. There are few, so when all of them are added up, the scale is huge.
Uncle Zheng, now an earl, has two thousand taels of silver and two thousand shi of grain a year. This amount is in the court. When transporting money and food to Xue Customs, additional details will be provided.
In short,
Just because the fourth and fifth princes live in the prince's residence, they can give it to the court every year. Save 20,000 taels of silverand 20,000 shi of food expenditure.
Ji Laoliu's reputation among the clan and nobles has been very bad in the past two years. The reason is that the imperial court is in financial difficulties, so he did not hesitate to attack the clan and nobles.
Not only did they get stuck in the rated money and grain, but they also used bank notes from the merchant bank to redeem their money and grain, allowing them to use this ticket to pick up goods of equal value from the merchant bank.
The business of ticket numbers has actually been around for a long time, and it has become popular in the Jiangnan area of Qian Country for a long time, but it is basically used for convenience when doing business, and the popularity among the people is not high. Ji Lao Liu did not dare to use this on a large scale, but only used it to provide subsidies to the nobles of the clan. If the same bill is collected on the street, it will be discounted at 20%. This is blatant exploitation of the nobles and the clan!
It is a pity that
Emperor Yan is now too powerful. In addition, the residual power of horse stepping on the family still exists. If it were another emperor, the clan and nobles would have supported him long ago. The old and young went to the palace gate to cry.
They dare not face this person;
This can be regarded as a reflection of Dayan's financial constraints from the side, because for the clan and nobles, as long as conditions permit, they still have to do a good job Even if some of them have become rice bugs, they still have to be raised. After all, their ancestors fought for Dayan for your Ji family and shed their blood to earn the blessings of their descendants.
Once this aspect is not handled well, who will be willing to continue to work for your Ji family in the future?
Big guy, what you want is not for a prince to be your wife and son for generations to come?
The fourth prince smiled,
said:
"I guess it is really possible to fight."
" How can we fight if we have no money or food?"
"How can a living person be choked to death? If we really want to fight, there will always be a way to fight, so you, a river worker, probably don't need to fix it. "
There is a war.
Where are the extra money, food and people to send to the river workers?
The fifth prince shook his head and said: "Before Father gives the decree, I still have to do what I should do."
"Okay, be good."
At this time,
there was a sound outside.
The eunuch accompanying the fifth prince ran over and reported:
"Master, fourth master, the third prince is back."
The fourth prince and the fifth prince They immediately looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
To be honest,
They have long been mentally prepared to never see the third child again in this life, because no matter how they look at it, it is unlikely that the third child will Come out from Huxin Pavilion.
The fourth prince murmured: "I heard that Zheng Fan went to the Huxin Pavilion to see the third child yesterday. So, this is an explanation and the old feud is settled?"
The fifth prince shook his head and said: "I don't think the third brother will really let go of the past."
"Oh, you have never been locked up there."
"If Keep it there, give it to meI really don't mind if you provide the wood. "
"You are crazy. ”
The fourth prince jumped down from the table and straightened his clothes.
The fifth prince took off the clothes he wore as a carpenter and put on a new one.
No matter what, the third brother is back, and as younger brothers, they naturally have to go and greet him.
When he was about to go out, the fourth prince suddenly remembered something and said: "I remember correctly. If so, the second half of the month should be Concubine Ming’s birthday, right? ”
Concubine Ming has a reputation as a virtuous person, but she has a plain temperament and is knowledgeable and sensible.
The third prince liked poetry and books in his early years, and was somewhat influenced by his mother and concubine.
< p>After hearing this, the fifth prince said, "You mean, my father stayed at Concubine Ming's place last night? "The fourth prince immediately kicked the fifth prince,
swearing:
"Do I know this! "
If I can receive reports every day about where my father stayed last night, then what on earth do I want to do?
The fifth prince shrugged and said: "I Thought you knew. "
"Don't hurt me. ”
“Hey, I’m just asking casually, but I think that if Concubine Ming knew that Zheng Fan had visited the third brother, she would take advantage of the opportunity to plead with the father. The father might be interested in Concubine Ming. As his birthday was approaching, he agreed to let the third brother out. "
" Alas, our father's heart is still soft. "The fourth prince said with emotion.
"Fourth brother, are you talking nonsense because you have a fever? "
The fourth prince glanced at the fifth prince and said:
"You started the fire first. "
......
As soon as the third prince moved into the prince's residence, the fourth prince and the fifth prince came to visit.
"My younger brother wishes my brother well. "
"My younger brother wishes my elder brother well. "
"Brothers, please get up, please get up. ”
Next, there was a lot of respect between brothers and sisters, and everyone sat around and exchanged greetings.
However, because the imperial doctor came, the fourth prince and the fifth prince also took their leave.
After coming out, the fourth prince stretched himself and said: "The third child used to act like a scholar and didn't look at us seriously. Now it seems that he has been imprisoned for two years. Became more grounded. ”
“Yes. "Lao Wu agreed.
"It's a pity. I think Lao San has no chance of revenge. "
"Do you think Third Brother still wants revenge? ”
“Haha. The fourth prince laughed twice, "I don't believe he doesn't hate it anymore, because he will hate it every night." But Zheng Fan is already an uncle of Pingye. The prince leads the horse and the prince drives it. Alas, how can they compare? "
"I'm going to my sixth brother's house later to give the children some toys I made myself. "
"You are very attentive. Are you going to see Zheng Fan? ”
“That’s right. After all, Zheng Fan will have to leave Beijing the day after tomorrow, and my father has not issued any new decrees.”If so, I still have to go to Jindi with him. "
"Aren't you afraid that others will regard you as a member of the Sixth Master Party? "
The fifth prince smiled "hehe",
and said:
"Fourth brother. "
"Huh? "
"The third brother is out. "
"What's wrong? "
"No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the third brother? ”
“I don’t understand what you are talking about. "
"Brother, let me put it another way. For someone like Zheng Fan, who deposed the prince but could still be crowned a knight, what is the basis for that? It's ability.
No matter if it is our father, second brother or sixth brother,
As long as they sit in that position,
What kind of bloodline, brother, Heirs,
are not as important as those who can do things.
So, even if there is no human or material support this time, my brother, Wangjiang, must and will definitely go. I will do my part to avoid being treated as a waste.
Do you understand this, Fourth Brother? ”
“I understand. ”
“That’s good. "
"You are calling me a waste. ”
“…” Lao Wu.
…
When I woke up at noon, Uncle Zheng went to the Wen family’s living room.
< p>Then,Uncle Zheng realized that it was a huge mistake not to take the blind man to see the Queen Mother of Jin before.
At this time,
The blind man and Wen Sutong sat facing each other, both holding tea in their hands.
“You look so energetic. "
"You have lost weight, probably because you have too many things and are too busy. Please pay attention. ”
The two of them were chatting about family matters,
but their speech was very slow, and it often took a long time before they answered the next sentence.
Zheng The uncle knew that the blind man was using "spiritual chains" to communicate with Wen Sutong.
It is normal that there are people from the Secret Service in the Jin Palace;
In Wen Sutong's house, there are secret agents. There will never be a shortage of spies.
Uncle Zheng could not find a secret room to have some private words with the Queen Mother of Jin, because as long as he did so, Emperor Yan's anger would come immediately.
The Emperor Yan's ambition is to unify all Xia, how could he sit back and watch his own generals invade the queen mother of a country?
This also made Uncle Zheng's The trip to Prince Jin's Mansion was too dull and far from what I expected.
Oh,
it would be much more convenient if the blind man was there.
Finally,
Uncle Zheng sat down and drank half a cup of tea again, and chatted with Wen Sutong about the climate of Xue Customs and Yanjing City. As soon as the tea cooled, he stood up and left.
Back at the Sixth Prince's residence, everyone had dinner.
Gou Moli asked Zheng Fan if he could.Taking him to the Secret Service Prison, Uncle Zheng hesitated.
The outside world knows that
The Savage King was defeated and captured, and was sent to Yanjing City.
There are rumors that the Savage King has been executed, and there are also rumors that he has been imprisoned in the Secret Service Prison.
Of course Uncle Zheng knew that the real Savage King was in front of him, and the one imprisoned in Yanjing City at this time was an impostor.
The impostor is Alai, a man who looks exactly like the Savage King and is willing to become the shadow of the Savage King.
If Gou Moli asked him to take him to the back garden to meet the princess,
then Uncle Zheng would definitely kick him over,
but he asked himself This,
Uncle Zheng was a little embarrassed,
he could only say;
“I asked Ji Laoliu’s people to help me send a message to Wei Zhonghe. He said that in order to clearly deal with the situation in the snowfield, he wanted to see the savage king.
Whether he can meet him or not depends on Wei Zhonghe’s intention. ”
< p>Gou Moli knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Zheng Fan.Tonight,
Ji Laoliu did not come back until late at night. When he came back, he did not come to see Zheng Fan, but went back to the house to rest.
The next morning,
Uncle Zheng had just woken up. After washing, he walked to the small courtyard and was about to have a morning cigarette;
but he saw On the bench in the yard,
Ji Laoliu was sitting there,
holding a hookah in his hand.
Nowadays, Gan people like Wu Shi Powder, which is much more effective than tobacco.
As for tobacco, most of it is used as a medicinal material. There are some people who smoke tobacco, but it has not become a habit.
How can I put it this way? In this world, the older the people are and the more unhealthy they are, the more they smoke because they think tobacco smoke can get rid of diseases.
The hookah in Ji Laoliu's hand is exquisitely shaped and is simply a work of art. There is also a chalcedony bergamot snuff bottle hanging on his waist, which is also an extremely valuable object.
Dayan's treasury is tight, but it is not as tight as Ji Laoliu's life. As long as political conditions permit, he, like Uncle Zheng, still likes to enjoy himself.
The most important thing is that he does not rely on the money from the imperial treasury for enjoyment. In fact, according to Ji Laoliu, in Dayan’s businessman family, in terms of meticulousness and rigor in paying taxes, Ji Laoliu is The trading firm under Liu's command is undoubtedly the number one.
Uncle Zheng walked up to Ji Laoliu, took out the hookah in his hand, and said:
"Don't touch this thing, it's not good for your health."
Speaking,
Uncle Zheng lit the cigarette with a fire stick and took a puff.
"What about yourself?" Ji Laoliu rolled his eyes at Uncle Zheng.
"I am a sixth-grade warrior and in good health."
"Is it because you, Zheng Fan, practice martial arts to make up for this shortcoming?"
"Haha, aren't you going to court today? ”
“I’m taking a leave of absence. I’m taking a leave of absence from my father. You’re leaving Beijing tomorrow. I’ll take you around.” "
"So grand? "
"It's necessary. God knows when I will see you next time. ”
“Okay. "
"The carriage is already waiting to take you to Kuanmin Lane for breakfast. The food there is the most authentic. "
"Okay. ”
Eunuch Zhang is still driving.
Kuanmin Alley is an old street in Yanjing City. The street is not big, but it is very popular.
For breakfast, they ate small wontons.
Ji Laoliu ate two bowls, Uncle Zheng ate three bowls, and Eunuch Zhang ate four bowls. Instead of taking the carriage, we started wandering around.
Went to Yinlang Temple, which, like Yinlang County, was first famous for the Great Yan Prime Minister, but this temple is in the capital. , has become a calligraphy and painting antique market.
Ji Laoliu introduced the antique market to Zheng Fan while walking side by side.
“Many people in the capital. I like to go to Yinlang Temple and always want to pick up something missing. But what can I say? Buying is never as good as selling. It is difficult to find something missing here.
It is impossible to put gold, silver and jade here, only fools sell that.
As for ancient calligraphy and painting and inkstones and vase kilns, firstly, most of them are fake, and secondly, even if they are real, if you like them and buy them to collect and play without thinking of changing hands, then it doesn’t matter. , if you want to pick up and resell, you have to see if there is someone who knows the same thing as you, and that person who knows the thing is rich.
And for this thing, if the time comes, you won’t be able to get any food in exchange for it if you go to Mihang. The guys at Mihang won’t appreciate this. "
That's what he said, but Ji Laoliu still bought an inkstone, a painting and a variegated jade pendant for Uncle Zheng.
"The inkstone is real, the material is Good, worth it. The painting is fake, but the person who copied it is also old. If you buy it for one tael of silver, you can't sell it for a hundred taels, but you can easily sell it for ten taels of silver. This jade pendant has not been cultivated yet, but it is actually high-quality Huairou jade. If you wear it on a person and raise it for three generations, by the time your grandson reaches adulthood, the texture will become extremely clear and smooth, making it valuable.
If the price of rice at that time was the same as now, it would be worth five hundred taels of silver. "
Uncle Zheng took a cloth bag and put the things in it. Eunuch Zhang smiled and took it to help keep it.
"You are really hungry and have no money to eat. Just walk around here, flip around a few times, and you'll have everything. "
As the saying goes, a craftsman will not starve to death in a famine year, this is the reason.
Ji Laoliu shook his head and said: "These are just trails. To put it bluntly, these Toys, in my eyes, are very common. ”
Born in the royal family, her mother’s family is the Min family. What ordinary people think of as precious antiques and valuables are in Ji’s eyes.In Lao Liu's eyes, it was no different from the chopping board in his kitchen.
"Then how come you were so poor that you had no money to eat?"
Ji Laoliu casually took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to a monkey charmer in front of the ancestral hall. inside.
The monkey immediately stood up happily, kowtowed to Ji Laoliu, and then did a somersault.
"You see, just like this monkey, it may not like to do somersaults and kowtow, but it has to do it because people like to see it do this."
"Haha. ”
“In this Yanjing city, including this time, you have only been here twice. Father, you have only met twice. In your eyes, what kind of person is my father?” ?"
"I don't know what to say."
"You should be afraid of the emperor."
"I don't like the word fear. ."
"Okay, let's change it to... fear?"
"I don't like this topic."
"I think we should talk about it on the streets of Beijing. Is this dangerous?"
"That's right."
"Father, I'm very kind to you."
"But you still went to Litian City."
"Yes."
"Emperor, this is how it makes you grateful and afraid."
"Inappropriate."
"I know that it is inappropriate. It applies to others, but it does not apply to you. You are more willing than all of us. I admire you most. One thing is that you seem to regard your own life as a social drama performed at Yin Lang's temple during festivals."
"This is appropriate."< /p>
"I can't be as free and easy as you."
"You still need to make progress."
"When you have children, you won't be so free and easy." ."
"Is it time to give birth again?"
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I haven't digested it yet." /p>
"Then let's go drink tea. The teahouses in the capital are also famous."
"It's boring."
"The teahouse has been talking about it for a while. Your story."
"I'm thirsty."
Drinking tea in the teahouse until noon.
When they were hungry and couldn't suppress their hunger with melon seeds and peanuts, Uncle Zheng and Ji Laoliu came out.
"How is it?" Ji Laoliu asked.
"After listening to my story, I feel full of strength."
In the storyteller's story, Uncle Zheng is a third-grade warrior who fights against the eighteen Taibao of Chu!
No one knows whether there are eighteen eunuchs in the Kingdom of Chu, probably not even the princess herself;
Of course,
Uncle Zheng doesn’t know either. He is already a third-grade peak warrior.
Coming out of the teahouse,
p>
Uncle Zheng felt that his steps were a little sloppy,
he drank too much chicken soup and was about to overflow.
"What do you want to eat for lunch, except roast duck."
"I still want to eat roast duck."
"Quandelou roast duck is not delicious now. "
"I've never found it delicious."
"Okay."
Lunch, at Quande Building.
Ji Laoliu ordered a roast duck and a pot of wine.
He split the wine with Zheng Fan, and gave Eunuch Zhang the roast duck to eat alone.
They bought a few more dishes from the vendors at the entrance of Quande Building.
"There is a rule in Yanjing City. If a store can make one sign, it can only make this sign. At the same time, it is not allowed to set up stalls with outsiders. If you want to add another dish, just ask them to deliver it. Come in, the store owner is not allowed to rush in.
After all, even this store was built with the capital of a street vendor. Maybe when his son and grandson take over, the eagle will become a small one again. When the chicken is gone, you have to go back and set up a stall. This is to make it convenient for others. If you can eat until you are seventy percent full, you have to leave some food for others to drink soup."
"Tell me this. Why are you telling me that I look ugly?" Uncle Zheng asked.
"I am a businessman. I have told you this many times. Since you are a businessman, you will inevitably like to be friendly and make money. Sometimes, I feel that some of your practices are too much. ."
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said, "I just want to be happy."
"Just wanting to be happy is actually selfish."
< p>"Isn't it bad to be selfish?""Yeah, it's good."
"But no, it's enough for a person to live this life to the fullest."< /p>
"Haha, it sounds like you have lived a lifetime and experienced many things."
"Maybe so."
"Sometimes, I I'm also very helpless. In fact, I am more narrow-minded than my second brother, and I don't like to do things to perfection, but my second brother is actually the one who is really narrow-minded.
The reason why the eldest brother stands. I am also interested in this.
But the problem is,
Now outsiders, especially the clan nobles, household officials and some small local families, think so. I am a cruel official, but the prince is a kind king."
"The crow does not know that he is evil."
"What do you mean?"
"It's just that the positions are different, and the methods are different. If you are in the position of the prince, you will also become kind-hearted. In fact, I have always felt that people are all the same;
Be able to live comfortably If so, who wants to face the loess and turn his back to the sky for the rest of his life?
If he can have a group of wives, why not be free and unrestrained?
It’s just that the location is different and there is no way to choose.
p>
People are still the same people.”
“That’s right.”
“So, you are being hypocritical. "
"After all, you have been wandering around in front of me every day these past few days, and you have led me astray. "
"Go one. ”
“Do it. "
After a glass of wine,
Ji Chengjue poured the wine and said:
"My third brother came out of the Huxin Pavilion. "
"Is it possible that the afternoon plan is to visit your third brother? "
"It would be too cruel not to rub salt into the wound. "
"How to talk? I helped him come out. "
"Then I ask him to come to your door with a gift tonight to thank you? ”
“I am a good-hearted person who likes to give, and I don’t like to keep my name. "
"What are you going to do in the afternoon? ”
“You are the tour guide. ”
“Tour guide? This word is apt. The scenery in the back garden is excellent, and all the scenery inside is the Jiangnan garden scenery of the Qian Kingdom. ”
“No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you have a tiger, you won’t be able to appreciate it. "
"I heard that her father punished her to copy the Heart Sutra at home. "
"Your Majesty is wise, I think that the Four Books and Five Classics and various ancient classics can be read several times, which is very beneficial to cultivating sentiments. "
"Go horse racing outside the city? In the past two years, I have practiced equestrian often. ”
“You can’t run away from me. ”
“Not necessarily. ”
“I am riding Pixiu. "
"..." Ji Laoliu.
In the afternoon,
I didn’t go to horse racing or the back garden, but went to a Yingchun House. , drank flower wine all afternoon.
Ji Laoliu ordered nine girls.
She and Zheng Fan were by their side, three of them danced, and the other two sang songs.
But the people who played there were all simple, at least they were mopping up, but no one really went into the back room to borrow the incense couch.
At dusk,
The two came out a little drunk
Ji Laoliu reached out and patted Uncle Zheng on the shoulder and asked:
"How is it?" "
"Next time, don't come to a place like this. If word spreads, it will bring a bad reputation to us. ”
“Tired by fame? If they knew you were the famous Mr. Hirano, they would definitely recommend themselves to you. "
"If they knew you were the prince, they would be even crazier. ”
“I’m going to see my third brother. Look at it today. It’s already so late. If I don’t go, I’m afraid it’ll be too late.” "
"You go ahead, I won't go. "
At this time,
beside Eunuch Zhang's carriage, stood a man in black.
"See Uncle. "
The man showed his secret agent's badge.
Ji Chengjue rubbed his eyes and said:
"What's the matter? "
"I beg Eunuch Wei to let me go see the Savage King. ”
"Oh, okay, it seems that Eunuch Wei is willing to do this convenience. Then you can go, I will take the carriage to the prince's residence."
"I am a guest, so the carriage will definitely be used for me."< /p>
"This is my carriage."
"I am a guest."
Finally,
As a last resort,
The two people, who both valued security very much and were extremely afraid of death, took a carriage together and returned to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Uncle Zheng got out of the car,
The Sixth Prince took his own carriage to the prince's residence. Uncle Zheng took the blind man, Gou Moli and the Sword Master with him and sat on He got into the carriage driven by Little Eunuch Zhang and went to the spy department's prison in the capital.
The "Savage King" is locked in the deepest part of the prison.
Someone from the Secret Service brought a chair for Uncle Zheng to sit on, and Uncle Zheng sat down.
The Sword Master, Gou Moli and the blind man stood beside Uncle Zheng.
In the cage,
Alai slowly opened his eyes,
his eyes swept over Zheng Fan and the three people behind him.
Then,
he lowered his head,
smiled,
and laughed louder and louder.
He laughed for a long time,
laughed until he coughed, continued to laugh after coughing, and then continued to cough;
He kept laughing until he had no energy left and his throat became hoarse. However, he still held the chain with both hands and continued to open his mouth at Zheng Fan.
"The stars are immortal, the saints will live forever!"
"The stars are immortal, the saints will last forever!"
Until the last time I left,
Uncle Zheng sat in the chair without saying a word.
Just like in Prince Jin’s Mansion and Wen Sutong’s Mansion, there are not many places in the capital where one can speak normally.
God knows whether the prisoners in the cells next to the Savage King's cage are prisoners.
Subsequently,
Uncle Zheng led his people out of the cell.
Outside,
A red-robed eunuch was waiting there.
"I send my regards to Uncle Hirano."
This man should be the leader of the Secret Intelligence Service, a subordinate of Wei Zhonghe.
"Uncle, you seem to have said nothing?"
Zheng Fan smiled,
reached out and patted the red-robed eunuch. immediately hugged him,
said:
"Look at the defeated generals in the past, this feeling is comfortable enough, saying a word is a waste , Father-in-law, tell me, is this the truth? "
"It is the truth, it is the truth."
Before leaving, Uncle Zheng took out a small handful of gold. The melon seeds were stuffed into the hands of this father-in-law.
"Uncle, you can't do this, you can't do it, how dare your servants ask for your gold."
"I, your Majesty, I'll trouble you to report to Eunuch Wei later. ,At onceI said a lot to the Savage King, but I was afraid that if Eunuch Wei knew that I came here to see the Savage King just to make himself happy, he would laugh at me for being hopeless. "
"Hehehe, it makes, it makes. ”
Immediately,
Uncle Zheng got into the carriage driven by Little Eunuch Zhang and left.
In the carriage,
Gou Mo Li was a little melancholy.
Uncle Zheng closed his eyes slightly.
Gou Moli stretched out three fingers and said;
"The wild men of the snow field will send out 30,000 young men to attack the city for Dayan. ”
………
Although he drank two drinks during the day, Uncle Zheng failed to fall asleep early at night.
Tomorrow is the day He didn't feel reluctant to leave Beijing, but he was just a little lonely.
He didn't have Huang Chao's pride of waiting until autumn came on September 8th to kill all the flowers after they bloomed.
He did.
It’s just a faint thought that I know that things will be different the next time I come back.
This kind of thought has been lingering in my heart.
p>The blind man did not rest, but sat on the edge of the bed, silently reflecting on what he had seen and heard in the past few days. Among all the devils, the blind man was the most enthusiastic about rebellion.
Because other demon kings have their own hobbies, and the blind man's hobby is rebellion.
The Savage King didn't rest either. He huddled in the corner, and the embroidery embroidery had been thrown aside. Covering the left side of his face, he laughed sometimes and cried again.
He Chunlai and Chen Daole were sitting across from each other drinking tea. The tea was bitter, but in their hearts, it was actually more bitter.
< p>This is Yanjing, the heart of Dayan. When they come here, they dare not do anything.It is extremely lively inside the prince's residence.
The third prince came out of the Huxin Pavilion, and the brothers drank together.
Even Xiao Qi was sent out by his mother and concubine, but he sat on the edge while his brothers drank. Drink ice.
The prince didn't come, but he brought two jars of good wine.
Ji Laoliu is not a practitioner after all, and his drinking capacity is not as good as Uncle Zheng's. After two meals, he was already drunk. He pointed at the two jars of wine brought by the prince and cursed:
"These heartless things are still brothers." Well, you are such a shitty brother, you won’t even want to see him once!
The clan,
the nobles,
all say that I, Ji Laoliu, am a bastard, that I am cold-blooded, that I am stingy, that I He is a cruel official, hahahahaha, everyone says that the prince is kind, how can he be so kind!
Cold-blooded,
Shameless,
No mercy! ”
Finally,
Drunk Ji Laoliu was transported back by Eunuch Zhang’s carriage.
It is said that,
drinking After being drunk, he continued to scold the prince, asking for moreIt's as unpleasant as it sounds.
......
The next morning,
Uncle Zheng picked up the princess who left the palace at the gate of the palace. When the princess came out, she was accompanied by a princess carriage. , the Ji family was very generous, accompanying eighty eunuchs, one hundred and sixty maids, and more than twenty boxes of various gifts.
Uncle Zheng left the gifts and accompanying eunuchs and maids at the Sixth Prince's house, letting him look at the arrangements and laugh. It would cost a lot to return to Xuehai Customs with this large group of people and things. How long?
When I went back this time, I didn't even ask for a carriage.
All the guards rode out and galloped as soon as they left the capital.
The princess sat in Zheng Fan’s arms, and Pixiu carried the two of them without any problem.
"Mr. Sir, why are you in such a hurry to go home?"
Uncle Zheng replied loudly:
"Hit your house."
…………
In May of the third year of Yongping,
on Concubine Ming’s birthday, the emperor praised Concubine Ming for her virtuous ability and knowledge of etiquette, so she was named a noble concubine and held a big banquet;
During the banquet, a musician from Chu was invited to play "Yangchun Ancient Song" to add to the entertainment;
In the middle of the song, the musician drew a knife blade on the bottom of the piano to stab you;
The prince sacrificed his life to save the king. The emperor was furious.
The emperor was furious.
