Chapter 36: Conspiracy (2)
Since ancient times, Jizhou has been a place of beautiful scenery and merchants, rich in black glazed porcelain and copper. Zhao Hong and his entourage came to the outside of Ji'an County after more than a month, and the housekeeper and eunuch looked at the sky and it was already afternoon. Came to Zhao Hong's car and bowed back to him: "Lord Wang, we have arrived outside Ji'an City." It's almost afternoon, do you want to rest in Ji'an for a night and set off tomorrow, please show the prince. ”
Zhao Hong lifted the curtains of the car and looked at the sky. Nodding at the housekeeper and eunuch: "Okay, I'll rest in Ji'an for one night today, and then go to Jizhou tomorrow." ”
The housekeeper and eunuch replied respectfully: "The old slave respects the prince's will." After getting up, he shouted to the team: "The prince has a decree to go to Ji'an, rest for one night, and set off tomorrow." Several eunuchs in the front and back of the team shouted to inform the team of hundreds of people in front and behind.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Ji'an County, I saw that Zhixian led many literati to greet him at the gate of the city. The car drove slowly to the front of the magistrate and others. The first county magistrate knelt down first, and after kowtowing, he said loudly: "Chen Wenyun, the county magistrate of Ji'an, together with all the scholars of the Egret Academy, as well as the squires and elders, greeted the king of Luling. ”
Zhao Hong, the king of Luling, got out of the car and looked at these officials, scholars, and people. That's when I regained a little bit of my self-esteem. nodded a little proudly, and said loudly: "I saw that it was getting late, so I came to disturb you." I feel guilty in my heart, please stand up. ”
Chen Wenyun, the magistrate of the county, hurried two steps to Zhao Hong's side, and bowed his hand: "Please get in the car and follow the lower officials to Cuibin Building, so as to set up a banquet and wash the dust for the prince." ”
Zhao Hong saw that this official was so sensible, and nodded happily in response: "Lead the way in front of the head, and follow Chen Zhixian on a lonely walk." ”
Although it was already afternoon along the way, there were still many pedestrians on the street, who stopped to watch Zhao Hong and his party. At this time, a person rushed to Zhao Hong's front and bowed head-on, and shouted loudly: "Slave greets Your Majesty." ”
In an instant, everyone froze, and Chen Zhixian looked at this person who came to kneel down to worship Zhao Hong stupidly, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Hong. I saw that Zhao Hong was also standing there stupidly, not knowing why. But the housekeeper and eunuch standing next to Zhao Hong immediately reacted and shouted: "Where did this madman come from, Chen Zhixian still hasn't driven him away." ”
Chen Zhixian came back to his senses and immediately beckoned: "People from the left and right, don't take down this crazy person with me!" ”
A few officers next to him immediately ran over, picked up this crazy man of unknown origin and quickly ran away. Chen Zhixian bowed and said apologetically to Zhao Hong: "It's all the fault of the lower officials, which frightened the prince." ”
Zhao Hong looked at Chen Zhixian and thought about what this madman said. Suddenly there was no mood at all. A little depressed, he waved his hand to Chen Zhixian: "It's okay!" Anyway! You can't be blamed for that, it's just that this person is crazy. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Chen Zhixian replied flatteringly.
The housekeeper and eunuch next to him cautiously said to Zhao Hong: "Lord Wang, it's better for you to get in the car." He glanced at Chen Zhixian with his eyes, and said, "In this way, no more crazy people will come to disturb the prince." ”
Zhao Hong saw that the faithful housekeeper and eunuch winked at him, and immediately said to Chen Zhixian: "It's okay, it's better to get in the car alone, so as not to disturb the people." ”
When the group came to Cuibin Building, Zhao Hong was surrounded and entered the private room wrapped by Chen Zhixian, and saw that many people had already arrived waiting for him. Turning his head to look at Chen Zhixian, Chen Zhixian hurriedly introduced: "Everyone, this is the King of Luling we are waiting for, Prince Zhao." He also introduced to Zhao Hong: "Lord Wang, this is the mountain chief of Egret Academy, this is ~~~"
After a while, Zhao Hong was hugged and seated. Chen Zhixian began to take the lead in toasting. One cup on the left and one on the right, Zhao Hong himself didn't know how many cups he drank. By the time I felt dizzy, I was already drunk.
Everyone in front of them has changed, how do they look like Shi Miyuan and Zhao Yun. Seeing his enemy Zhao Hong's anger rising from his heart, he staggered to his feet and scolded: "Tut! What kind of person are you, a flattering villain, a wild seed of unknown origin. Dare to stand on top of the court to show off his might. ~~~”
When the housekeeper and eunuch behind him heard this, he only finished screaming in his heart. hurriedly beckoned the other two eunuchs to help Zhao Hong away, and then hurriedly apologized to everyone on the table: "My lord is not strong enough to drink, he is already drunk, I can't help you." The old slave made amends to you in advance on behalf of the prince. ”
Everyone smiled and said, "It's okay!" Anyway! The prince must be tired from the long journey, father-in-law, you should go and get busy with you first. ”
"Who! The old slave retired first. The housekeeper and eunuch hurriedly bowed his hand and turned around to serve Zhao Hong.
Everyone here shook their heads when they looked at each other. The mountain chief of the Egret Academy stood up and said, "It's really Lang Lang, haha." He turned around and walked away. Chen Zhixian saw that the host and guest were gone, and immediately ordered: "Disturb everyone today, everyone disperse." ”
Today, there is no sun in the sky and dark clouds are in the sky. Everything on the ground was so gray. Zhao Hong and his entourage slowly advanced towards Jizhou City on the sparsely populated official road.
The vehicle "purred" slowly advanced, and the housekeeper and eunuch rode a horse next to the car and chatted with Zhao Hong. Suddenly, a large group of men and horses appeared in front.
The housekeeper and eunuch looked at the black pressure in front of him, and was shocked, and urged the horse to go and make contact. When I got closer, I saw a crowd of refugees with knives, guns and sticks, led by a few people riding tall horses and wearing tattered leather armor. When he saw the arrival of the housekeeper and eunuch, he immediately shouted loudly: "Stop advancing." ”
One of them came to the housekeeper and eunuch horse, dismounted and knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and asked, "May I ask my father-in-law, is this the king of Luling, Zhao Wangye, driving in front of him?" ”
At this time, the housekeeper and eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and replied proudly on the horse: "Exactly, may I ask what the strong man has to do?" ”
The man kneeling under the horse replied: "The villain Pan Bing and his brother greet the prince, I have been waiting here to welcome the prince for a long time, and I am bound to seek justice for the prince." ”
"My prince has not been wronged by anyone, how can he seek justice?" The housekeeper and eunuch dealt with it carefully, and only muttered in his heart.
Pan Bing replied expressionlessly: "The prince was originally long lived, but he was deceived by Shi Miyuan and other villains, and he was abandoned because he made a person who did not know the origin of the emperor. Wasn't the prince wronged? ”
