"What kind of bird is Zhong Tai?"

"Uh......" Han Dong pinched his nose and pretended not to hear Cao Miao's obscenities. Cao Miao didn't care, but he couldn't talk nonsense. "Zhong Tai is the grandson of Zhong Taifu's family. He doesn't have much ability, but he was born in a high family, and now he is the assistant lieutenant of Taichang Temple. Usually there is nothing to do.,I like to talk about metaphysics.,Self-proclaimed celebrities.。 ”

Cao Miao said "oh", thought about it, and said, "Shu Jin...... Is it rare? ”

Han Dong looked at Cao Miao with a strange look in his eyes. He then came to his senses, withdrew his gaze, and became more and more respectful.

"The prince doesn't know anything. Since Zhuge Liang came to power, Shu Jin has implemented specialization and unified sales, and the price is extremely high, and ordinary people can't afford it. The high-grade Shu brocade sent by Zhong Tai is even more expensive and cannot be bought, and the price in the private market is said to be more than ten gold horses, and it is still difficult to find a brocade. ”

Cao Miao saw too many things in Han Dong's eyes in an instant, including envy, contempt, and unspeakable self-pity.

His ignorance of Shu Jin stimulated Han Dong and made him realize the natural gap between the two sides, and it was the kind of gap that made people desperate. Thinking about it carefully, although he is the eldest prince of Yongqiu Palace, he has a miserable life and has no future, he is still much stronger than most people. His starting point is the end point that countless people can't reach in this life.

For example, Han Dong in front of him. Meritorious service and knighthood are an impossible task for him.

"Okay, you can help me inquire about more news, and see who else is making waves besides this Zhong Tai." Cao Miao said, lying down on the Hu bed and closing her eyes.

"Whoa." Han Dong responded, and said goodbye.

Cao Miao was stunned for a while. The matter of Shu Jin not only stimulated Han Dong, but also stimulated him. That's it, it's expensive, and you can still pursue it if you're rich. Expensive but not rich, why is it expensive?

Gotta find a way to get some money. Cao Zhi and Cao Zhi, father and son, are unreliable. Planting fruit trees, he can figure it out. Before the tree had grown, some people wanted to pick it. Not only do they have to pick the fruit, but they also snatch away the trees.

People are deceived by others.

Suishui, peach blossom Jin.

When the big boat came to the shore, the two county guards jumped out of the boat and tied the cables. The gangplank was lowered on the boat and placed securely.

Cao Zhi and Cao Zhi, who were waiting on the shore, stepped forward. The old attendant who followed Cao Zhi took the lead and stuffed a plain pouch for each of the two county guards. The county guards looked at each other and smiled, skillfully checked the purse, and stuffed it into his arms, with a bright smile on his originally straight face.

"I've seen the king, the second prince."

Cao Zhi smiled and stepped onto the springboard. The two county guards diligently stepped on one end of the gangplank, allowing Cao Zhi to walk more steadily. This time, the purse of the Yongqiu Mansion is very pressing, at least two hundred yuan, so it is natural to exert some strength.

Cao Zhi got on the boat, and the old attendant stuffed money all the way, and after a few steps, he gave away at least 10,000 yuan. These people are either the officials in the county, or the Lang officials who went out of Beijing with the envoys, they seem to be inconspicuous, but they can't offend any of them, otherwise they don't know where the problem will be.

For example, when you get on the boat, the board may shake quite a lot, and even if you don't fall down, it can make you ugly.

In the past, Yongqiu Wangfu was not so generous, it was too poor and reluctant. This time, Cao Miao sponsored more than 50 gold, and Cao Zhi suddenly felt spacious, and even his waist straightened a lot. As for where Cao Miao's money came from, Cao Zhi didn't ask.

Cao Zhi stood still at the bow of the boat, and Cao Shuang and Sun Yong came out of the cabin while talking. Seeing Cao Zhi standing at the bow of the boat, Cao Shuang looked surprised, stepped forward quickly, and bowed his hand. "The king welcomes you, how to make it?"

Cao Zhi looked at Cao Shuang's round face, squeezed out a smile, and bowed his hand. "Uncle Zhao, you are the messenger of the Son of Heaven, and you should welcome you. How is the Queen Mother? Is Your Majesty safe? Is the general's illness better? ”

Cao Shuang hurriedly returned the salute and answered diligently, not pretending to be the messenger of the Son of Heaven.

The two went ashore hand in hand, got into the car separately, and returned to the Yongqiu Palace.

When he arrived in the mansion and went to the main hall, Cao Shuang read out the edict. The Son of Heaven praised Cao Zhi's letter, announced that Cao Zhi was also named the king of Yongqiu, and there was no need to move to seal Junyi, and rewarded a total of thirteen kinds of relics of the first emperor.

Cao Zhi thanked him, kowtowed to thank him, and bowed in the direction of Luoyang.

It was another courtesy, and the guests and hosts sat down. Cao Shuang looked around and asked, "King, I heard that Yunliang's condition is getting better and he has recovered?" ”

Cao Zhi shook his head with a wry smile. "Uncle Zhao, the rumors are not credible. Although Yunliang's condition improved slightly, he still had seizures from time to time. No, Lone was worried that he had messed up the etiquette and collided with the messenger of the Son of Heaven, so he didn't dare to inform him. ”

Cao Shuang thought for a moment and turned to Sun Yong. Sun Yong got up and said with a smile: "The envoy doesn't know anything, the king is cautious, but what he says is not the truth. Although the eldest prince has not yet recovered, he has been able to see visitors. It's just that the eldest prince hasn't seen outsiders for many years, and he is a little lazy in etiquette, coupled with the Heavenly Immortal Dao, this ordinary person is afraid that he can't get into his eyes. ”

Several subordinate officials around Cao Shuang listened to this, and their faces were a little unsightly. Sun Yong's words were very harsh and uncomfortable.

As long as you are a celebrity, you can enter the eyes of the great prince and talk to him about immortals, we are all laymen?

Cao Shuang was also a little unhappy in his heart, lowered his head, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Although I am a layman, I don't understand immortal Taoism and metaphysics, but I am not an outsider. Speaking of which, in Yecheng back then, Yunliang and I often played together. Over the years, I heard that Yunliang was sick, and I always wanted to come and see it, but I was entangled in official business and was not free. Now that you're here today, you can't see it. ”

Seeing this, Cao Zhi said, "Then please sit down with Uncle Zhao, and send someone to pass it on." ”

"There's King Lao."

Cao Zhi glanced at Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi understood, got up and went down the hall.

Cao Shuang turned sideways and said to a good-looking Lang official beside him: "Xuan Mao, you accompany the second prince to convey my sincerity to the eldest prince, and ask the eldest prince to take the time to meet with old friends." ”

The young Lang official got up, bowed his hands to the court, and stood side by side with Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi turned his head to look at Cao Shuang and smiled before saying a word.

"Uncle Zhao, it doesn't have to be like this, right?"

Cao Shuang laughed. "Your Majesty, it's all right. This is Deng Yang Deng Xuanmao, a son of the Deng family in Nanyang, the current Zhonglang, and concurrently the Zhongshulang. Usually with Taichu (Xiahou Xuan), ranked among the four congs, good to talk about Xuan said, he thinks he is invincible in the world. I heard that Yun was good, but the itching was unbearable, so I took the initiative to ask for help. Now that Yunliang has avoided it, it doesn't hurt to let him go and see it first. ”

Cao Zhi's cheeks twitched, and he didn't say anything more, just glanced at Cao Zhi. Zhonglang is just an official in the palace, that's all, but Zhongshulang is a member of Zhongshutai, and it is likely that he has the secret mission of Zhongshutai, such as identifying Cao Miao's illness, which is not something he can stop casually.

Cao Zhi understood, turned around and saluted Deng Biao. "Deng Zhonglang, please."
