Chapter 27: Throwing in the towel
Zhao Shu and Wei Tingsi went to Yipinju, Wei Tingsi was afraid that she would be in a bad mood, so he specially asked the chef to cook a table full of food for her, including from the south, from the north, from the Western Regions, and from overseas. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I don't know where he found the cook, the talent is higher than that of Xing'er, what ingredients will definitely become a delicacy in the hands of the chef, and the way to eat them is different.
Zhao Shu was also polite, she couldn't bear to live up to his heart, but there were too many delicacies, and she couldn't eat too much, and she was full after a while.
After making tea, the two sat in the pavilion and played chess, saying that they were playing chess, but in fact they were just sitting casually, and Zhao Shu had never thought about chess.
"You show up in public, I'm afraid King Jing is going to take action." Zhao Shudao, I don't know if it's because I'm too full, so sleepy that my eyelids fight.
Wei Tingsi saw that she was very sleepy, sat down beside her, let Zhao Shu lie on his lap and squint, and said lightly: "As the saying goes, he doesn't dare to attack from afar." ”
As he spoke, he said, "You didn't rest well yesterday, go to bed first, and I'll call you later." ”
Zhao Shu leaned on him and nodded instinctively, kept yawning, and fell asleep after a while, but before falling asleep, she still endured sleepiness and asked: "Far friends and close attacks, who do you want to make friends with?" ”
"Augustus." He said.
Zhao Shu couldn't remember that there was an Augustus Empire in the world, but she knew that the Huns had invaded the Roman Empire, but who knows, she was going to become ignorant of the confused history.
Thinking about it, she couldn't control it anyway and fell asleep.
After she fell asleep, Zhang Chang tiptoed to report and lowered his voice: "Marshal, Prince Augustus is willing to buy 600,000 muskets for 50 million taels of gold and send troops to the Xiongnu Kingdom. ”
Wei Tingsi looked at the chessboard in front of him, his hand gently circled Zhao Shu, cautiously, after a while, he looked back at Zhang Chang, "It's autumn, the Xiongnu country wants to store grain for the winter, you go and tell Augustus, first pay a deposit of three thousand taels, I hope that Ah Jun and Lu will celebrate together." ”
Zhang Chang didn't dare to ask more, and said 'yes' and went out, in fact, he wondered in his heart, the monarch and the lord of the county, could it be that people from a country thousands of miles away would come to congratulate him? The surrounding barbarians are good, and it's not the emperor's birthday.
However, it is a long-faced thing to be able to come to court, and he is happy to see it.
Wei Tingsi suddenly appeared in the court today, and the others didn't feel anything, King Jing placed his eyeliner in the court, and immediately flew a pigeon to inform King Jing when he got off the court.
However, before the carrier pigeon flew into the hands of King Jing, a big man came to the capital, and it was rumored that the prince of the Gaius Empire came to worship.
Originally, no one knew that a foreign prince had come to the capital, but suddenly it appeared, as if it fell from the sky, and some people introduced the identity of this prince clearly.
The so-called Gaius Empire, is a big country bordering the Huns, naturally can not be compared with the Heavenly Empire, but the art of war is cloudy, distant and close attack, the Huns will come to the Central Plains every autumn to burn and loot, if the great Yong can fight the Huns with the Gaius State, and even destroy the Huns, wouldn't it be great?
The Queen Mother obviously knew that this prince of Augustus was coming to the court, and after the news broke, she immediately sent the Ministry of Rites to invite Augustus to meet him.
They are all monarchies, and Augustus can fully accept the Dayong culture of kneeling down to the emperor and the queen mother, and he has a very happy conversation with the queen mother.
But anyone who understands a little politics, King Jing's people, got the news and was shocked, if there is really a country of Gaius in the world, Dayong and Gaius are friendly, then it will inevitably affect the Xiongnu country, so does King Jing still have a chance to win?
The answer is that there is definitely no chance of winning, and it is impossible to say that the Xiongnu State will attack King Jing in order to win over Dayong.
Anyway, between countries, there is nothing but interests.
All of a sudden, the officials arranged by King Jing in the capital began to liven their minds.
The major affairs of the country, I can't come to a conclusion for a while, don't care about it for the time being, it is said that Sun Yun came back from the palace and rushed into his room, and his mood was extremely complicated.
I'm happy, I'm really happy.
I don't have a face to see people, I really don't have a face to see people.
Guilt, but also real guilt.
And King Yong returned to the palace, his thoughts were also very complicated, he asked the green pothos, and learned that Zhao Shu had not returned to the mansion, his whole person was not good, and he kept pacing in the courtyard, how to explain?
The maids and family members in the house can only watch silently, although they all know Sun Yun, but they never thought that she would become a princess one day, will it be embarrassing for the county lord and the princess to live in the same house in the future?
How do you get along?
Fu Bo, Bi Qiao and others were heartbroken about this matter.
However, Sun Yun is not an ordinary lady after all, she just locked herself in the house for half an hour, and then came out, and the moment she walked out of the door, she was more shrewd than before.
A few orders were issued, and the people of the Sun family were busy and crazy.
The next day, Zhao Shu returned to Yongwang's Mansion from Yipinju, and Xiao Zhuzi came to report, "County Lord, Miss Sun has sent the ironclad evidence that the Ten Princes belonged to him to the palace, and there is ironclad evidence that Ning Meiren is the biological mother of the Four Princes, County Lord, what should we do?" ”
Zhao Shu thought about it, what else could she do? She admits defeat, otherwise what can she do? can't help but give Sun Yun a chance, after all, marriage has been given, wouldn't it be good to give each other a step?
"Let her be, don't worry about it, let's admit defeat, by the way, what about my father?" She was more worried about King Yong at this time, he must have panicked, and felt sorry for her daughter.
Xiao Zhuzi lowered his head and replied quickly, "Back to the county lord, the prince is fishing in Sendai Courtyard." ”
I'm afraid that I will not be able to go to Sendai Temple, Zhao Shu nodded, and followed the road towards Sendai Temple.
When he came to Sendai Temple, he saw King Yong sitting on the chaise longue in the pavilion in a daze, and Zhao Shu didn't notice it when he walked in front of him.
Zhao Shu curtsied and said, "Father, what are you thinking?" ”
Yongwang Meng heard the voice and thought it was an illusion, but when he saw Zhao Shu, he rubbed his eyes, a little incredulous.
imagined that Zhao Shu was so angry because she was angry, how could she still laugh so happily?
"Father, do you have sand in your eyes?" Zhao Shu asked funny, seeing King Yong's unbelievable and cautious appearance, Zhao Shu's heart warmed.
Perhaps any single father who has lost his wife is a little guilty about his children when he wants to reorganize his family, afraid that he will not get the blessing of his children, and that his children will oppose it.
She didn't know what other people's fathers were, anyway, her father was worried that she would be angry.
King Yong hurriedly shook his head, "No, you...... Where did you go last night? He didn't know what to say, after all, the person in front of him was a daughter, and it stands to reason that adults should not talk to children.
It's just that he can't help but say it.
Zhao Shu pouted, and then recalled that last night, in fact, nothing happened, she fell asleep on Wei Tingsi at first, but she woke up from the bed the next day, but there was nothing wrong with her, and Wei Tingsi also went to see Prince Augustus early.
"Marshal Wei is injured, I will prescribe medicine for him, you also know that Imperial Physician Peng has to take care of the emperor, and no one treats his injuries." He made a fool of himself.
But then I thought, casually saying that Wei Tingsi was injured, would he really be injured? What if he is really injured in his crow's mouth?
When King Yong heard this, he didn't believe it, and he always felt that Zhao Shu was angry, so he didn't return home overnight.
"Ah Jun rest assured, I love you the most in my father's heart, and no one else is as important as Ah Jun in my father's heart." He said solemnly, sincerely and seriously.
Zhao Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Ah Jun knows, not to mention that she is also very good, others come to our palace, Ah Jun is not at ease, not to mention which one in Beijing is more beautiful than her?" Father, you have earned it, and Ah Jun is happy for you. ”
Yong Wangzai carefully observed Zhao Shu, did not let go of any of her micro-expressions, and found that she did not show a trace of unhappiness and insincerity, and was a little relieved.
However, he still didn't dare to believe it, and asked, "Are you really not angry?" ”
"I'm really not angry, anyway, you are going to marry a step-concubine, who is not to marry, besides, marrying someone else may still bully me, at least she won't, a first-class noble daughter, which one is willing to be a step-family? Ah Jun is content with you for your father. ”
King Yong saw that she was serious, not like a lie, so he smiled, in fact, he didn't want to marry a step-concubine, if it wasn't for the Taihe Palace, he would definitely refuse, but in the Taihe Palace, it would be a different matter.
At first, he didn't understand why Sun Yun rushed out to say something like that, and he was also angry at the time, but then he thought about it and understood that the reason why Sun Yun rushed out was just to protect him.
However, he is actually not afraid of slander, and if he is another lady, even if it is Huo Danlan, he will refuse it.
But Sun Yun, he watched him grow up, and he shared hardships, and he couldn't bear to be poked in the back for the rest of her life.
Now the most fortunate thing is that my daughter does not object.
The father and daughter were talking, and after everything was said, Xiao Zhuzi squatted and came over to report, he was in a hurry, as if something big had happened.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Shu asked.
Xiao Zhuzi pondered for a while, then cautiously glanced at King Yong, and stopped talking.
Zhao Shu frowned, and said unhappily: "I have something to say." ”
"The county lord, the prince, the one in Weiyang Palace, the one who is out of Beijing." He was hesitant, thinking that it was not good to do things, so Yide ran away.
Zhao Shu frowned, "What's the matter?" "If Yi De runs away, if he is captured again, I am afraid that he will waste a lot of energy.
Xiao Zhu Zitong knelt down, "The slave is not doing well, please punish the county lord, the one in Weiyang Palace escaped overnight, today Miss Sun's ironclad evidence was sent to the palace, and the Queen Mother sent someone to send a message, calling her to ask clearly, how do you know that the imperial concubine has already left the palace, and she is just a stand-in who stays in the Weiyang Palace." ”
"Do you know which way to flee?" Zhao Shu asked.
"The imperial concubine has set up suspicious formations in all directions, and the queen mother has ordered someone to look for her, and it is not known where she fled to." Xiao Zhuzi said sadly, "Qi Yan also escaped, thinking that the two of them are together." ”
"Didn't you send someone to watch Qi Xuan?" Qi Xuan is just an inconsequential leader, Zhao Shu doesn't care very much, but it is also a depressing thing to let him escape.
"I sent someone to watch it, but I still escaped for him."
Xiao Zhuzi wanted to die headlong at this moment, he should have thought of it, he should have abolished Qi a long time ago, but in just two days, he let him escape, it was a great shame!
Not to mention...... He didn't dare to say the next words, but he didn't say that if the county lord knew, he would definitely blame, Xiao Zhuzi struggled, gritted his teeth and said: "County lord, Qi Yan took away part of the Royal Forest Army, and they all have arquebuses in their hands." ”
"It's okay, don't worry, they won't be able to escape for long, we don't have many people, don't let our people hit the muzzle of the gun, there are still people in the army on the left and right, after Miss Sun sent ironclad evidence, what is the reaction of the DPRK?"
Now the court is the most important.
Xiao Zhuzi breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart also fell when he mentioned his throat, he was really afraid that Zhao Shu would order him to check Yide's whereabouts, not that he didn't want to go, but there were doubts in all directions, and he didn't have so many people available.
"The Queen Mother locked up the Fourth Highness in the East Palace, sent General Peng to guard it, and also released Ning Meiren, oh, by the way, the Queen Mother ordered Lord Xie and Lord Yan and Lord Qiu to be reinstated, and also demoted the title of His Royal Highness King Hui, and now His Royal Highness King Hui's title is the prince of the county, and it is no longer hereditary."
King Hui, the old horseman, finally ruled him, thinking that he could ride on other people's heads by managing the Zongren Mansion, he didn't know how thick the sky was.
But at this time, Zhao Shu finally understood what King Jin did that day, it turned out that he had become transparent now, and if he didn't say that, he would be one of the people who were demoted with him now.
Without waiting for her to speak, Xiao Zhuzi said again: "County Lord, the Queen Mother asked King Jin to take over the Zongren Mansion and make him restructure. ”
Zhao Shu nodded, the restructuring is certain, the surrendered vassal kings need to be settled, so many vassal kings, they can't all be killed, and they have to think of a proper way to deal with them.
It is reasonable to leave this matter to King Jin to handle.
As long as it is not handed over to Yongwangfu, it is reasonable to hand it over to anyone, and it is not fat.
"Don't worry about this matter, pay more attention to the Jin Palace, by the way, is the emperor awake?" If Emperor Mingde wakes up, Zhao Bi's death will come.
Xiao Zhuzi sweated, and was glad that he had made sufficient preparations before coming, and nodded, "Wake up, there were thieves in Jiangying Park last night, but they were caught, the county lord can rest assured." ”
"You go to the Seven Princes' Mansion to inform the Seventh Brother and let him go to the emperor to serve, remember not to let people break in, understand?" Zhao Shu told him uneasily, Zhao Bi's people must be looking for Emperor Mingde like crazy.
He must not be allowed to find it, otherwise he will have another chance to play on the topic.
"Yes, does the county lord still have orders?" He had nothing to report on.
Zhao Shu shook her head, "No, let's go down." ”
Xiao Zhuzi bowed down and retreated, and after a while, he walked out of Sendai Temple, and King Yong looked at Zhao Shu with a smile, his eyes were full of pride and guilt.
I am proud that my daughter is so smart.
Guilt, so intelligent, but not taught by him.
As soon as Xiao Zhuzi left, before King Yong could speak, Fu Bo hurried over, "Lord Wang, county lord, letter from the Huo family." ”
Fu Bo handed the letter to King Yong, and Zhao Shu glanced at it and found that it was written 'The prince himself opened'.
The handwriting is beautiful, at a glance, I know that it is written by a woman, I think it should be Aunt Dan, Zhao Shu's heart began to mention, and her heart was inexplicably panicked.
"Father, I want to see it." Zhao Shu tugged at King Yong's sleeve and coquettishly.
Originally, King Yong didn't plan to let Zhao Shu read the letter, but Zhao Shu rarely spoiled him, and he didn't refuse Sun Yun, so he felt extremely guilty, thought about it, and handed over the letter in his hand, "Look, go to Marshal Wei for your father and ask about your teacher." ”
"The king of Shu has been in Beijing for a long time, why hasn't the teacher returned to Beijing." Zhao Shu was also quite worried about Luo Hu. (To be continued.) )
