"Lord Zhao, Your Majesty has a secret decree, saying that you will change into civilian clothes tomorrow morning, and wait for Your Majesty outside the temporary palace, and go out with Your Majesty to visit the people of Linqingzhou."

Hearing Emperor Deqing's secret edict, Zhao Junchen was not surprised.

Since ancient times, every emperor who is happy and pretentious seems to have a special hobby of "micro-service private visits", and Zhao Junchen, as a close favorite of Emperor Deqing, seems to be a natural thing to accompany at this time - at least, Zhao Junchen will not put himself in the position of overseer like other ministers, always reminding Emperor Deqing that it is not right here and there.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen just asked: "Gonggong Zhang, but I don't know if His Majesty will pay a private visit tomorrow, in addition to me, which ministers will accompany you?" ”

Zhang De smiled and flattered: "The whole dynasty is up and down, who doesn't know that Your Majesty is the only one for your holy favor Lord Zhao!" As far as our family knows, Majesty Xià will pay a private visit to Weifu tomorrow, except for our family and more than a dozen forbidden army guards, there is only you, Lord Zhao! ”

"Oh?" Hearing Zhang De say this, Zhao Junchen was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Emperor Deqing would only summon himself alone, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, but he said: "I see, thank you Gonggong Zhang for reporting the news." ”

Next, under Zhao Junchen's instructions, Xu Qingyan naturally stuffed a silver ticket into Zhang De's hand, this kind of thing is now a common practice, but there is no need to mention it.

……

After seeing off the eunuch Zhang De, Zhao Junchen returned to the desk and sat down, tapping his fingers on the table. And pondered secretly.

After a long time, Zhao Junchen looked up and asked Xu Qingyan, "Qingyan." Do you know what are the famous scenery here in Linqingzhou? ”

Zhao Junchen is the right person. For Xu Qingyan, he may not know much about the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and articles, but he is naturally sensitive to eating, drinking and having fun, and he has a strong memory! -- It can be seen from this. There is no useless person in this world, it's just that you don't use it in the right place.

Now, after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Xu Qingyan didn't see the slightest thought or hesitation, and immediately replied: "Young master, as far as I know. There are many famous scenic spots in Cheongju, including the relics pagoda in the northern suburbs of the city, and the mosque on the east bank of the canal, all of which are very famous; In addition, there are Dasi Street, there are four big temples of Daning Temple, Jingning Temple, Tianning Temple, Manning Temple nearby, and called 'Linqing Four Great Temples'; It is said that the scenery there is the most beautiful, and it is a good place to go for spring. ”

Zhao Junchen listened carefully, then nodded, and instructed Xu Qingyan: "Next." There are three things you have to do, the first is to send someone to the Linqing Mansion and help me ask for the local government records. I'm going to read it tonight, and I'll accompany His Majesty to a private visit tomorrow. Before that, I must first understand the local history, geography, customs, people, products, etc., but I must not let His Majesty Xià disappoint the fun; Secondly. It is to inform Lu Yuanan, the governor of Shandong, of the news that His Majesty will pay a private visit tomorrow, so that he can be prepared, and secretly send people to protect His Majesty's safety, and there must be no accidents......"

Emperor Deqing wants to pay a private visit to Weifu, Zhao Junchen can't object, but he can't really let Emperor Deqing wander around casually among the people, not to mention the safety work for the time being, what should be seen by Emperor Deqing next, what to hear, and what to associate with needs to be seriously considered and prepared in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen paused slightly, his expression suddenly became much stricter, and he said: "As for the last thing, I need you to do it personally, it is important, but I must not let others know the news!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhao Junchen was wearing an ordinary person's shirt and waited quietly outside the gate of Li Yuan, the temporary palace of Emperor Deqing.

And Xu Qingyan was also wearing an ordinary dress and followed Zhao Junchen - this time Zhao Junchen paid a private visit with Emperor Deqing's micro-service, and he needed a confidant to take care of him, so after thinking about it for a long time, he still brought Xu Qingyan with him, but repeatedly told Xu Qingyan not to talk nonsense on this day.

At this time, Zhao Junchen's face was full of exhaustion, because he had prepared a lot of things last night, and he had flipped through the records of the Qingzhou Mansion all night, and he had not slept for long, and now he was inevitably a little tired.

However, when Emperor Deqing appeared, Zhao Junchen was still in a strong spirit, and walked quickly to Emperor Deqing.

I saw that Emperor Deqing was dressed as a rich man at this time, except for the great power on his body, but there were no other flaws, and the eunuch Zhang De was wearing a housekeeper outfit, and he was following Emperor Deqing step by step.

Around Emperor Deqing, there were more than a dozen sturdy guards of the forbidden army, wearing all kinds of clothes, intentionally or unintentionally protecting Emperor Deqing in the center, and constantly looking around with vigilant eyes.

Coming to Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen smiled and bowed and saluted: "Student Zhao Zhong, I have seen Master Huang. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Emperor Deqing was slightly stunned at first, but in an instant, he understood what Zhao Junchen meant, raised his head and smiled, and said: "Okay, today you are Zhao Zhong, and I am Master Huang, well, these two titles are good." ”

Perhaps because of Weifu's private visit, Emperor Deqing's attitude towards Zhao Junchen at this time was more intimate and casual than usual.

Then, without waiting for Zhao Junchen to speak, Emperor Deqing asked with interest: "So, Zhao Zhong, tell me, where are we going today?" Master Huang, I haven't been to Linqing a few times, but I don't have much idea. ”

In this regard, Zhao Junchen was prepared for a long time, and said with a smile: "Master Huang, as far as the students know, this Phoenix Slope in Qingzhou is a good place to go out, and it is not far from us, today's weather is good, and it is a good time to go out, so let's go to Fenghuang Slope first; After the outing, it was about noon, and we went to the old Li family shop here for lunch, and I heard that the food there was famous far and wide, and they were all praised; In addition, the students know that Mr. Huang believes in Buddhism, so after lunch, we can go to the vicinity of Dasi Street to visit the Buddhist temple, it is said that there are four big temples such as Daning Temple, Jingning Temple, Tianning Temple, and Manning Temple, and are called the 'Four Great Temples of Linqing'...... Mr. Huang, do you think the itinerary arranged by the students is good? ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen had already made arrangements, Emperor Deqing nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's do it according to the itinerary you said." ”

Zhao Junchen also nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a carriage that had been prepared for a long time drove over and stopped beside everyone.

This carriage was secretly prepared by Lu Yuanan, the governor of Shandong.

When Zhao Junchen and Emperor Deqing got into the carriage, under Zhao Junchen's instructions, the carriage started slowly and drove in the direction of Phoenix Slope, while Zhao Junchen asked Emperor Deqing: "Master Huang, did you sleep well in Li Yuan last night?" ”

Originally, this was just Zhao Junchen's polite words, used to lead to other topics, but he never thought that Emperor Deqing would sigh and shake his head: "I tossed and turned last night, and I didn't sleep well." ”

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, and hurriedly put on a look of concern, and asked, "What's the matter?" But the bed is uncomfortable? ”

Emperor Deqing sighed again and said: "Since I visited the scenery of Li Yuan's back garden, while indulging in admiration, I feel that my gardens are not as good as it, and I am inevitably a little unhappy in my heart. ”

Seeing that Emperor Deqing was actually worried about this, Zhao Junchen secretly shook his head in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Master Huang, how valuable is your identity, how can you be compared to the master of Li Garden?" The owner of Li Garden is limited by financial resources and manpower, and can only spend time on small details, and draws on the style of Jiangnan gardens, so that people will feel bright, but if you look at it for a long time, it is just average. What's more, Master Huang, aren't you planning to learn from the advantages and characteristics of the famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River this time, and then integrate them into one and build a unique garden? After that garden is completed, why do you want to worry about the beauty of this Li Garden? ”

Thinking that he really wanted to build another royal garden in the style of Jiangnan gardens, this matter had already been explained to Zhao Junchen, so the regret in Emperor Deqing's heart was slightly reduced, but after thinking about it for a while, he said: "This Li Garden, just imitating the Jiangnan garden, already has such a beautiful scenery, and those famous Jiangnan gardens, I am afraid it will be even more beautiful, I am afraid it is not easy to build another garden that surpasses them...... What's more, although these Jiangnan-style gardens are beautiful and elegant, the scale is too small, and the gardens I want to build can't be so stingy...... But in this way, the amount of silver needed is too much, and the money in my inner money may not be enough......"

While speaking, Emperor Deqing looked at Zhao Junchen, obviously counting on Zhao Junchen to come up with an idea.

Zhao Junchen shook his head again in his heart, only feeling that Emperor Deqing was really a loser, but he said: "Master Huang doesn't have to worry about the matter of silver, just hand it over to the student, if the student expects it well, when we get to Jiangnan, the silver will be settled." ”

Emperor Deqing has always been quite confident in Zhao Junchen's financial skills, and now seeing Zhao Junchen's promise, he knows that Zhao Junchen must have some new way to collect money, but he didn't ask, just smiled: "With your Zhao Zhong's help, I really don't have to worry a lot." ”

Next, Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen discussed some ideas for building royal gardens, and before they knew it, the carriage had arrived at Fenghuangpo.
