Chapter 161: The Princess Arrives
Zhao Zhi stayed in Rinshan, and he had to wait until the princess's mansion was repaired before returning to Luoyang to report to Liu Hong. Tang Zheng occasionally took the time to go to the construction site to see the progress, and by the way, he took more things about Liu Hong from Zhao Zhi's mouth, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, as long as Tang Zheng asked Zhao Zhi to know everything.
The money and grain for the construction of the princess's mansion were all allocated by the imperial court, and Rinshan only had a piece of land. On this day, when Tang Zheng was about to go to Zhao Zhi as usual to see if he could learn some useful news from him, Zhao Zhi ran towards the Tang Mansion in a hurry.
Zhao Zhi looked at Tang Zheng, who was about to go out, and said to him: "Great, Brother Tang, you are at home, just now I went to the city hall to look for you, and they said that you didn't come today, so I had to come to your house to find you." ”
"Is something wrong? Brother Zhao. Tang Zheng asked Zhao Zhi, who was panting.
"Brother Tang, come on, the princess and the state pastor Liu Yu are almost in Rinshan." Zhao Zhi said to Tang Zheng.
"Ah, how can it be so fast?" Tang Zheng exclaimed. "Didn't you say that you came to Rinyama after the princess's mansion was repaired?"
"yes, that's what I said earlier. But now that the princess is here, I don't know what's going on! Zhao Zhi also said with a puzzled expression. Although Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty married his daughter to Tang Zheng to win over and appease Tang Zheng, he was still not a little slow about the marriage of this daughter, and the princess had everything that she should have when she got married, and even some rewards exceeded the standard.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's go pick up the car first." Tang Zheng said to Zhao Zhi.
"Well, it's useless to discuss this now. Let's go, Brother Tang, let's pick it up! After speaking, Zhao Zhi and Tang Zheng kept walking towards the city gate.
When Tang Zheng and Zhao Zhi came to the city gate, they saw that the city gate had been surrounded by guards. Zhao Zhi stepped forward to identify himself and was told that he could only wait on the side, so Zhao Zhi had no choice but to retreat back and wait with Tang Zheng on the side. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the princess to ride in the red chariot towards the gate of Rinshan City, with the guards in front of her, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids and other entourages.
Liu Yu rode a tall horse and walked in front of the team surrounded by the guards, Tang Zheng and Zhao Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to greet Liu Yu, and after greeting Liu Yu for a while, Tang Zheng came to the carriage and knelt down on one knee and said: "Minister, Tang Zheng has seen the princess!" ”
"The prince of the palace does not have to be polite, the palace is slightly tired, I don't know if the Tang prince can arrange a good place for the palace!" A pleasant voice came from the crowd and said to Tang Zheng.
"Back to the princess, it's ready, and ask the princess to move." Tang Zheng bent down and said to the people in the car.
"Then there is Lao Tang Mansion Jun!" After saying that, there was no sound inside, Tang Zheng turned around and led the way in front of him towards the place where the princess was prepared.
Tang Zheng took the princess and his entourage to the Rinshan Post House, which will be closed to the public during this period as the temporary residence of the princess. After settling the princess and her entourage, Tang Zheng walked towards Liu Yu's room, and when he came to the door, Tang Zheng said to the inside of the room: "Xiaguan Youbeiping is too guarded by Tang Zheng to meet Liu Yuanjun!" ”
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Liu Yu said to Tang Zheng in his regular clothes: "Hahaha, Tang Taishou, we meet again!" Inside please! Saying that, Liu Yu led Tang Zheng into the room.
"Rinshan is simple, and if you neglect the envoy, please don't blame the envoy!" Tang Zheng bowed to Liu Yu.
"There, we came too suddenly, but the will of the Holy Father does not allow our courtiers to be neglected." Liu Yu said.
"Envoy, didn't this first say that the princess would only go to Rinshan when the princess's mansion was repaired? Why did you come here now? Tang Zheng asked.
"This is the meaning of the saint, and I don't dare to disobey it!" Liu Yu glanced at Tang Zheng and said.
"What does this mean, Holy One? No matter how anxious you are, you can't rush this time! Tang Zheng said.
"The saint's health is deteriorating, and now the saint's greatest wish is to see the princess get married as soon as possible." Liu Yu said.
"Ah, how so? Wasn't he all right the last time I went to Luoyang to meet the Holy One? Tang Zheng said incredulously, he didn't believe a word of what came out of Liu Yu's mouth.
"Hey, now there are too many things in the world that make the saint work, the saint is worried about the people's suffering, and often stays up late to review the newspapers sent from all over the world, do you say the saint's body can be good?"
For Liu Yu's words, others may believe them, but Tang Zheng said that he didn't believe a word. Judging from the records of Liu Hong in the history books of later generations, he is a complete faint king, and there is nothing he can't do. For example, in order to facilitate himself, he actually ordered all the palace maids to wear open crotch pants in the palace, and no other emperor in history did such a thing except him.
"As a courtier, it's our fault that we can't share the worries of the saint!" Although Tang Zheng complained about Liu Hong in his heart, he still showed his sincerity to Liu Hong.
"Hahaha, Tang Taishou's top priority now is to marry the princess as soon as possible, so as to be worthy of the saint's respect for Tang Taishou." Liu Yu said.
"Ah, it's just that this won't be too anxious to wronged the princess." Tang Zheng said.
"It's all a family in the future, and what grievances are there to talk about. By the way, Tang Taishou, the saint handed over his most beloved daughter to you, I hope you will not live up to the expectations of the saint, after all, the saint still values you very much. ”
"Thank you for the saint's love for Weichen, and the minister will not hesitate to go to the soup for the saint."
"Alright, Tang Taishou. Today, the official also rushed for a day, and he was a little tired, so Tang Taishou would go down first. Liu Yu said to Tang Zheng.
"Then the lower official will not disturb the rest of the envoy, and he will leave." After speaking, Tang Zheng opened Liu Yu's room and walked home.
"Princess, that Tang Zheng has already left the imperial uncle's room and gone back." Xiao Liu'er said to Liu Ling.
"Well, Xiao Liu'er, what do you think of Tang Zheng?" Liu Ling asked.
"Princess, how can I say it, this Tang Zheng doesn't look like an official on the outside, but more like a scholar. Today, I peeked at the city gate and found that he was polite to everyone around him, not at all like the Taishou who held the power of life and death in a county, but more like a brother next door! Xiao Liu'er said to Liu Ling.
"Oh, is that so? By the way, you haven't heard any useful news after playing outside for so long today! Liu Ling asked Xiao Liu'er with a smile, but this smile made Xiao Liu'er a little uncomfortable.
"Ah, princess, this ......" Xiao Liu'er didn't know how to answer Liu Ling for a while.
"Are you just looking at novelty and forgetting what I told you?" Liu Ling asked.
"Princess, I haven't forgotten. The whole of Rinkan Mountain is different from the castle we have seen elsewhere, and the faces of the people here are no longer as dead as they are elsewhere. Everyone here is full of anticipation for tomorrow, right is anticipation. ”
"What about Tang Zheng, what do they think of Tang Zheng?" Liu Ling asked.
"They all said that Tang Taishou was a rare good official, and they also said that the princess being able to marry Tang Zheng was a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes." Xiao Liu'er said, and didn't forget to take a look at Liu Ling's face after speaking, and she was relieved until Liu Ling's face didn't change.
