Chapter 122: Do You Take Sides?
The people at the same table were all the children of high-ranking officials, and the fathers in the family were basically above the waiter, so Lin Zhao was not sure to eat this meal, and after eating a few bites hastily, he said hello to Lin Zhan and got up to leave.
Before leaving, he was about to look for Qi Xuan to say hello, but he didn't find anyone, so he said hello to the steward of the Danyang Eldest Princess's Mansion and got up and left the big mansion.
After leaving the princess's mansion, it was just past noon, and Lin Zhao did not immediately return to the national prison, but prepared to take a walk around Chang'an City.
He has been in Chang'an for more than half a month, and in this more than half a month, only a few days ago, Lin Zhan took him around twice, and most of the rest of the time he was studying in Guozijian and never went out.
The mansion of the eldest princess of Danyang is in Yongxingfang in the east of the imperial city, and you can see the majestic walls of the imperial city after leaving the gate of the fang, Lin Zhao naturally wants to enter the imperial city to have a look, but unfortunately, he is not qualified to enter now, so he can only go north from Yongxingfang and come to the widest Vermilion Bird Street in Chang'an City.
This street is the main road of Chang'an City across the north and south, from the south gate all the way to the imperial city gate, because the street is spacious enough, there are countless vendors on both sides of the road, very lively.
At a glance, you can also see a lot of Hu people, walking around this street.
Lin Zhao walked around, and saw the oily dough that Lin Zhan had taken him to eat before, he touched his stomach, sat down on the stall, and said to the stall owner: "Lao Cui, one night of oily dough." ”
The banquet of the eldest princess of Danyang was naturally extremely rich, but Lin Zhao sat there and felt wrong, he ate a few bites hastily and left, and then ran around Chang'an City, and there was no food in his stomach at this time.
After happily eating the oily dough for a night, Lin Zhao got up and stretched, and said to the stall owner: "Old Cui, hang the account of the second son of Lin." ”
The stall owner surnamed Cui had a good memory, remembering that Lin Zhao had been brought by Lin Zhan, and when he heard this, he replied with a smile: "I know!" ”
Lin Sanlang patted his stomach with satisfaction and walked away.
After he was full of wine and food, Lin Zhao took a turn around the vicinity of Xingdaofang, looked at the Vermilion Bird Gate in the imperial city, and waited until it was close to evening before he left to return to Wubenfang, preparing to return to the country to sleep.
At this time, he was already very familiar with the nearby path, and soon arrived at the gate of Wubenfang, and just wanted to enter the door, he heard someone behind him calling: "Lin Gongzi stays." ”
Lin Zhao frowned slightly, stopped and looked back, only to find that it was a tall man, he glanced at this person, and asked, "Brother Tai recognizes me?" ”
"I recognize, when I went to Yuezhou with my family before, I saw Gongzi once."
Only then did Lin Zhao realize that this person was Li Xu's subordinate, and he vaguely remembered that when he was in Yuezhou a few months ago, this person was the escort who followed Li Xu.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince has something to look for me?" ”
The strong man said with a smile: "My son wanted to invite his son to a meal, originally he was going to invite him personally, but he couldn't get away from the eldest princess's mansion, so he asked the younger one to come over and invite his son." ”
If it was someone else in Chang'an City, Lin Zhao might still have a chance to refuse, but this Li Xu is different, when he was in Yuezhou last year, Lin Zhao got his 10,000 yuan to make his business bigger in Yuezhou, although this 10,000 yuan brought him a lot of trouble, but most of those troubles came from Lin Jian, and Li Xu could not be blamed.
Besides, Lin Zhao's uncle is a party of the prince, and this prince of Song is also a party of the prince, everyone is their own person, and the face that should be given is naturally given.
Thinking of this, he nodded: "Brother Tai will lead the way." ”
The strong man nodded and smiled: "The distance is a bit far, so go with the car." ”
Lin Zhao nodded, got into the carriage behind the strong man, it was close to evening at this time, Chang'an City was about to curfew, but this carriage was unimpeded in various neighborhoods, and it didn't take long to come to Yongjiafang in Dongguo, under the leadership of this strong man, Lin Zhao followed him into a big mansion in Yongjiafang.
When walking on the road, Lin Zhao looked left and right, and asked, "Brother Tai, I remember the Song Wangfu, it doesn't seem to be in Yongjiafang?" ”
Lin Zhao once inquired about the situation of the Song Palace, with Zhou De and Qi Xuan, two roommates, although His Royal Highness the Song King was not the younger brother of the current king, but he had a very good relationship with the emperor, otherwise his son would not have been sent to the palace to study with the prince.
And the mansion of His Royal Highness King Song should be in Yanshoufang in Xicheng, which is very far away from Yongjiafang.
"Childe doesn't know."
The strong man said with a smile: "The palace is the palace, and when the prince becomes an adult, he doesn't live in the palace very often, and this mansion is the private residence of His Royal Highness the prince." ”
Lin Zhao nodded, and after following this man for a while, he finally came to the door of a side hall, and before he could walk in, Li Xu, who was dressed in purple, came out from inside, pulling Lin Zhao's sleeve while saying with a wry smile: "Why did Senior Brother Lin come?" ”
He is Lin Jian's student, and Lin Zhao is Lin Jian's nephew, as far as this relationship is concerned, it may be a bit far-fetched to call him a junior brother, but it can still be called.
After all, it seems closer.
Lin Zhao bowed a little embarrassed and said: "Back to Your Highness, after I left the Eldest Princess's Mansion, I walked around Chang'an City by myself, and just met His Highness's family, so I came with him." ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity
Li Xu shook his head and said: "After coming out of Aunt Danyang, I mentioned you to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had an opinion When he saw you, he asked me to call you to see you, but I couldn't find you, His Royal Highness waited in this house until about Shen Shi before returning to the palace." ”
He sighed: "Brother Lin missed a great opportunity!" ”
Lin Zhao scratched his head, a little confused: "Shizi, I'm a nobody, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to see me?" ”
"Senior Brother Lin is too modest."
Li Xu said with a smile: "The journey to the west written by the junior brother is now famous in the capital, according to Master Lin, the Chang'an style from the Guozijian is also made by the junior brother, and then it is made up by the Guozijian, and now it has also swept Chang'an." ”
"This is only the first issue."
His Royal Highness the Prince smiled: "When there are ten or twenty issues, I am afraid it will become the best book sold in Chang'an City, and the influence of this thing in Chang'an City will be amazingly large." ”
Although the first issue of Chang'an Feng was only released, the effect was far beyond everyone's expectations.
Li Xu glanced at Lin Zhao.
"Senior Brother Lin may not know that although Master Lin is making this thing, Master Lin has been to the East Palace and discussed it with His Royal Highness before doing it."
Hearing this, Lin Zhao was shocked.
He originally came up with this thing, firstly, he wanted to repay Lin Jian, and secondly, he wanted to bring some influence to himself in Chang'an, but listening to Li Xu's words, this thing is likely to be ...... It has become a political tool.
Or rather, it was originally a political tool.
Speaking of this, Li Xu stroked his palm and smiled: "In the past ten days, I went out of Beijing to do errands, and I didn't rush back until the eve of Aunt Danyang's birthday. ”
Lin Zhao bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, at first, Lin Zhao made this thing, just to help a group of Seventh Uncles, as for other things, he didn't think too much. ”
This is true, he really didn't have any special selfishness when he came up with this thing.
The only bit of selfishness, that is, after Chang'an is on fire, he, the editor-in-chief, will have some benefits.
"To help Lin Shi is to help Donggong."
His Royal Highness the Prince said with a smile: "Originally, I should have said this to you only after the junior brother won the junior scholar, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince admires the junior brother very much, so let me ask the junior brother." ”
He smiled gently.
"Is the junior brother willing to help the East Palace?"
