Chapter 613: Princess Xiangrui
"Princess Xiangrui...... It's as if I heard that Kong Jian mention it back then."
Looking at the text in his hand, Zhao Yu fell into deep thought.
He vaguely remembered that one day nine years ago, when Kong Jian sought revenge from his Luyang Zhao family, he mentioned the auspicious princess, it seems that because of the birth of this princess, the Son of Heaven granted amnesty to the world, and also made Kong Jian, who was convicted of corruption and perversion of the law at that time, be pardoned and regain his freedom.
Such a princess left the capital without permission?
Is it so wanton?
You must know that as far as Zhao Yu knows, not to mention the princess, even if it is an ordinary prince, she is not allowed to leave the palace without authorization, and she is even said to run out of the capital, but this auspicious princess is good, secretly ran out of the capital, and actually alarmed the inner court, and asked the inner court to send a message to all counties in the world to search for the whereabouts of this princess, and even 'be sure to send her back to Handan safe and sound'.
At this glance, you can see that this princess is amazing, and she is simply a pearl in the palm of today's hand.
Why did such a princess run out of the capital without permission?
Zhao Yu was thinking about it, when suddenly a small official outside the room entered and said, "Captain, the county guard is invited." ”
"Did Lord Gunden tell me anything?"
"Never."
The little official shook his head and said, "But the county keeper has instructed the lieutenant to put aside his affairs for the time being and go to see him first." ”
“…… Oh. ”
Glancing at the words in his hand, Zhao Yu was thoughtful.
A moment later, Zhao Yu took Niu Heng, He Shun, Gong Jiao and others to the county guard's mansion, and immediately bypassed the courtyard and followed the round corridor to the backyard of the county guard's mansion, which was the residence of the county guard Li Min and his family.
At this time, in the courtyard in front of the main house in the backyard, Li Min, the warden of Yingchuan, was sitting at the stone table, carefully studying a letter in his hand.
From the side, there was a maid and two domestic servants.
"Your Excellency."
Waving his hand to signal Niu Heng and the others to act consciously, Zhao Yu stepped forward alone and hugged his fist towards Li Junshou.
"Coming, Juzheng? Sit. ”
Putting the text in his hand on the stone table, Li Junshou kindly beckoned Zhao Yu to sit opposite him, and immediately ordered the servants next to him to serve Zhao Yu a cup of tea.
"Thank you, sir."
In front of this Li Junshou, Zhao Yu still behaved humbly and politely, his posture made Li Junshou very satisfied, and after Zhao Yu sat down, he casually chatted with the latter about some recent things in the county.
"How's that livestock farm you're waiting for?"
In fact, this Li County Shou also knows a lot of things, which are basically reported by the county Cheng Chen Lang after selection, such as the creation of five livestock farms in the county, such as the construction of two mines and two iron smelting and forging workshops in the county, these Li County Shou knows.
What he didn't know was some news that was not very favorable to Zhao Yu.
For example, the Black Tiger Society, which is thriving in various counties, and the size of the county army in each county, and the scale of the county army today, these sensitive things that will make Li Junshou uneasy were all concealed by Chen Lang, and even if there were things about the Black Tiger Society in individual counties, they were also suppressed by him.
In short, Li Junshou only knew about Zhao Yu's construction of the county during this time, but he didn't know that the entire Yingchuan County had gradually fallen into the hands of him, the captain.
"Makes the adults laugh."
After hearing Li Junshou's words, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "The first time the establishment of the office, the merchants were also quite cautious, on average, each livestock farm only raised five hundred pigs, one thousand poultry, and some mountain rabbits purchased from hunters......
"That's not a lot." Li Junshou said with interest: "I heard Chen Lang's report, these five livestock farms can stabilize the price of meat in the county? Or even lower the price of meat? ”
"It can be done in the long run, but I am afraid that it cannot be done at the moment. …… Having said that, the first batch of poultry in the livestock farm in Yingyang County has almost grown up, and I will send some to the house from time to time, and ask the adults to give some suggestions to see if they can be improved. ”
"Hahaha."
Li Junshou couldn't help but laugh.
Although he didn't care about the little money at all, the filial piety of his subordinates made him feel very satisfied.
By this time, the maid had already brought the tea.
Seeing this, Li Junshou waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can all stand down." ”
"Yes."
A maid and two domestic servants bowed and retreated.
From the side, Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly.
Sure enough, after watching the three of them walk away, Li Junshou turned his eyes to Zhao Yu, lightly buttoned the copy he placed on the stone table with his fingers, and asked with a bit of seriousness: "Have you seen it?" Letters from the Inner Court. ”
"Something about the auspicious princess?" Zhao Yu said tentatively.
"Hmm." Li Junshou picked up his exclusive teapot, frowned and took a sip, and then instructed with a solemn expression: "Princess Xiangrui, is Your Majesty's favorite princess, although I am not sure that she will swim through my Yingchuan, but I Yingchuan should not be negligent, in case that princess has any mistakes in my Yingchuan, then ......" He let out a long breath, and then continued: "Then it will be a big trouble." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu asked in a timely manner: "My lord, what is the origin of this auspicious princess?" ”
"You don't know?"
Li Junshou glanced at Zhao Yu in surprise, and when he saw the latter shaking his head, he didn't know what he thought, and after smiling with relief, he slowly explained: "Princess Xiangrui, to be exact, she should have been the county lord, and her father is Li Liang, the Marquis of Yecheng, the sixth son of His Majesty today. …… About ten years ago, well, almost nearly 20 years, when Princess Xiangrui had not yet been born, His Majesty accidentally fell ill, did not think about tea and dinner, and couldn't sleep at night...... Cough, in short, His Majesty's physical condition was very poor at that time, but I didn't expect that one day, His Majesty suddenly recovered, and it happened that the wife of Li Liang, the Marquis of Yecheng, gave birth to Princess Xiangrui, and His Majesty was convinced that the birth of Princess Xiangrui was his auspicious omen, so he gave the name of 'Xiangrui', borrowed it into the palace, so that it could be raised, and the harem called it Princess Xiangrui...... Later, the folk spread falsely, saying that when Princess Xiangrui was born, there was a phoenix rank fairy grass sweeping over the city, which was mostly false. "I see."
Zhao Yu nodded suddenly, and then asked curiously: "My lord just said, this was nearly twenty years ago, in other words, that princess is nearly twenty years old?" ”
Li Junshou pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "I should be eighteen years old this year." ”
"A year younger than me?"
Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, and then asked puzzled: "Eighteen years old, should you be married, right?" How can you still leave the palace without permission? ”
"Huh."
Li Junshou smiled, and then said with an incomprehensible expression: "Ordinary women, fifteen or sixteen years old can indeed talk about marriage, but this princess ...... How to say it, so far no one has dared to propose marriage to His Majesty. ”
"Why is that?" Zhao Yu asked in surprise.
Li Junshou shook his head and said, "First, Your Majesty is too spoiled...... I have heard someone in the palace mention that even the crown prince does not dare to offend this auspicious princess. ”
"Prince? In terms of seniority, the crown prince should be the uncle of the auspicious princess, right? ”
"Ahh Li Junshou nodded meaningfully.
"......" Zhao Yu felt a little incredible.
He had wondered before, how dare that Xiangrui princess leave the palace and leave the capital without permission, it turned out that this was a princess who was deeply spoiled by the Son of Heaven and did not even dare to provoke the crown prince of the dynasty.
"How could such a princess, who is deeply favored by His Majesty, dare not be proposed?" Zhao Yu became more and more puzzled.
Li Junshou smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It is precisely because of His Majesty's favor that no one dares to propose marriage." …… Up and down Handan, no one wants to provoke this ...... A lawless princess. ”
Zhao Yu noticed that Li Junshou paused slightly when mentioning 'lawlessness', as if he was considering the word.
This made Zhao Yu feel quite incredible, and couldn't help but ask: "My lord, are you ......?"
As if he had guessed Zhao Yu's thoughts, Li Junshou said with a wry smile: "I don't dare to provoke either." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt more and more incredible, after all, the Li Junshou in front of him was from the Li family, and he didn't dare to provoke it, and there were really few people in the sky who dared to provoke it.
However, considering that Princess Xiangrui is unwilling to provoke even the current prince, Li Junshou does not dare to provoke, and there seems to be no problem.
"In short, you immediately send eyeliner to the counties, if you find the whereabouts of the princess, immediately send troops to escort her, and send her back to Handan, remember, this matter should not be publicized, in case the news leaks and attracts thieves to harm the princess, then you and I ...... I'm afraid I will also have to bear heavy responsibilities. ”
"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded, and then frowned and said, "But this has no clue, where can I go to find that princess?" Then again, will that princess really come to my Yingchuan County? ”
"Well...... this"
Li Junshou stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhao Yu: "You might as well contact Yang Ding......"
"Yang Ding?!"
Zhao Yu was shocked for no reason, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean, what does Yang County Ling know?" I mean, Yang Xianling has a good relationship with Princess Xiangrui? ”
"Ahh
Li Junshou stroked his beard and said, "I once heard that Princess Xiangrui admired Yang Ding's talent very much when she was young and wanted to marry the latter, but for some reason, Your Majesty did not agree. Later, Yang Ding married the daughter of his father's former friend and Hejian merchant Jia He Zhen, but it is said that the two sides still exchanged letters. There were even rumors that Princess Xiangrui asked Yang Ding to divorce his wife Yang He and marry her......"
In the end, Li Junshou shrugged his shoulders, apparently he was also skeptical of the source of the news, and it was purely a joke.
It's a pity that Zhao Yu can't laugh at this moment.
As early as March this year, in the conflict in Luyang County, Zhao Yu keenly felt that Yang Ding had malicious intentions towards him, and now, there is a Xiangrui princess who is deeply favored by the emperor of the Jin State and has a good relationship with Yang Ding, suddenly left Handan without authorization and disappeared, which made Zhao Yu's heart immediately swell with a sense of crisis.
Could it be that Yang Ding planned to use that Xiangrui princess to deal with him?
Thinking that it was a troublesome princess who had to retreat even when she was the crown prince of the dynasty, Rao is Zhao Yu, and she couldn't help but feel a headache.
