Chapter 9: The Prince and the Village Girl
Wang Chengyan's father is Wang Xianqi among Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brothers, and Zhao Kuangyin is an iron buddy.
Because of their father's relationship, Zhao Dezhao and Wang Chengyan have a group of other peers who have played together, fought together, and hunted together since they were children.
As for the pickled girls, there are very few, the key is that Zhao Dezhao is still young.
Wang Xianqi was originally the commander of the forbidden army, but after Zhao Kuangyin took over the military power, his position was given to Han Chongyun, who was a little less qualified, and he was appointed as the envoy of the loyal army.
The three prefectures of Xuzhou, Chenzhou, and Ruzhou, where the Loyal Army was stationed, were said to be the main ruling party, but in fact they had reduced their power.
Because at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, all the soldiers in the country were transferred to the city of Tokyo, forming a forbidden army with a scale of 200,000 people.
This is the elite army of the whole country, and only the township soldiers and the box army remain in the locality, and the combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning.
The Xiang army is still a little decent, it belongs to the semi-full-time soldiers, and the township soldiers are reserves in later generations, in fact, they are ordinary people.
Only the forbidden army is all carefully selected, requiring a tall stature, a strong body, and strong combat effectiveness.
Wang Xianqi went to Xuzhou, but most of his family stayed in the capital.
Wang Chengyan has been liked by Zhao Kuangyin since he was a child, and not only arranged for him to serve in the forbidden army, but also gave him several elegant positions.
For example, the host and singer when holding a music party, although the position is not obvious, but they perform specifically for the emperor, and the folk fame is amazing.
Even Zhao Dezhao, after four lifetimes, finally understood some music theory for the first time and could play the guqin.
In the third life, he also had this condition, but his mind was not in this area, and he did not have the mind to learn at all.
In this life, he became Zhao Dezhao, and he already had his own piano playing skills, and he could be regarded as an all-round talent in martial arts.
Of course, what he is practicing now is all military formations, routine kung fu, Taizu Changquan, and Taizu Panlong Stick, although they have all been handed down for thousands of years, they are also all external skills.
However, with this physical foundation, it is only a matter of time before he picks up the internal exercises of his previous life.
Practicing internal strength is not necessarily much stronger than external strength, the key is to prolong life!
Wang Chengyan soon came back and changed into Zhao Dezhao's civilian clothes.
Although he was eighteen years old and Zhao Dezhao was only fourteen years old, he was not as strong as Zhao Dezhao, and Zhao Dezhao's clothes were loose and loose on him.
"Rixin, you don't know. Hearing that the official family named him the king of Qin, Meng Chang cried like a girl. I was on duty at the gate of the Daqing Palace, and I almost couldn't hold back and laughed. ”
As soon as he sat down in the place where Liu Xiao had come out, he unceremoniously gulped a basin of cold noodles in front of him. His mouth was bulging, and he was still sighing: "That Mrs. Hua Rui is really worthy of her reputation, she can hook away people's souls, and it'......s a pity to follow Meng Chang, a bad old man."
Zhao Dezhao talked to him without saying a word, and waited until he finished eating before asking: "The matter of Ah Furong being mixed in the manger is here, which yamen are following now, and is there any progress?" ”
Wang Chengyan paused for a moment and said, "How can it be so fast?" A hibiscus has been prevalent since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and although there have been fewer in recent years, there are many people who plant them. Daliangmen is full of people, and it is not so easy to find out, so don't expect too much. ”
Zhao Dezhao nodded and asked: "If you trace one thing back to the source, there will be a principle of who benefits and who suspects the most." That's also the direction of investigation, right? ”
Wang Chengyan asked, "Then how can you be sure that this is aimed at you?" ”
Oh, yes. This situation is now the biggest problem.
There are so many people, so many horses, and there are many horses that have eaten Hibiscus, and they are all crazy.
But it was only Zhao Dezhao who didn't want to get off the horse and toss back and forth because he was wearing heavy armor, and was taken out of the city by the horse.
This matter is not necessarily aimed at him, if it is directed at him, no one dares to investigate.
Even Zhao Kuangyin will not support in-depth investigation.
After eating and drinking, Wang Chengyan said to Liu Xiao: "Liu Diantou, help me arrange a bed to sleep for a while, I will be on duty in the evening, and the official family will hold a banquet in Jiying Hall at night, and I will be on duty." By the way, arrange a small yellow door to help me fan the wind, without a fan, it will be hot to death this day. ”
No matter what the era, the privileged class will enjoy it the most. In this era, there is no air conditioning, no fans, but there are many ways to escape the heat.
Like Meng Chang, who surrendered today, he likes luxury, and he built a crystal palace on the Mohe Pond as a place to escape the summer.
Among them, the three halls are all made of Nanmu as the pillar, the agarwood is the building, the coral inlay window, the jasper is the household, the surrounding walls, without bricks and stones, the open glass inlay of several zhang is used, and the inside and outside are clear.
Then send someone to pour water on the roof to form a rain curtain, and then send a few small palace maids to fan the wind, even if it is dog days, it is extremely refreshing.
Not to mention anything else, the rich man arranged for two subordinates to fan the wind and chase away mosquitoes, which was much more comfortable than having an electric fan in later generations.
Zhao Dezhao was grounded, everyone didn't take it seriously, Wang Chengyan didn't even say a word of comfort, and ran to take a lunch break again.
Zhao Dezhao also has the habit of taking a lunch break, but he has no sleepiness today.
It seems that in an instant, he has changed from the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty to Zhao Dezhao, and he is also fresh and excited today.
In the last years of his life, at the age of one hundred and fourteen, he could barely move, and he had to be taken care of by someone to eat, drink, and Lazar.
At that time, nothing was fragrant to eat.
Now, with a young and strong body, how could he not be excited?
What's more, this time there is also the wife of the second life as a companion.
The sun was blazing, Xu Yongchang sat in an ordinary car in the East Palace, and walked slowly towards the Houma Bridge.
It was so hot that the two horses were listless, and even the coachman was squinting and dozing off at the ruts.
The two guards who came with him were also listless from the sun, and the water in the leather bags they carried with them was drunk in a moment.
He is one of the three senior attendants in the house, and on such a hot day, he is willing to come in person, in addition to Tong Liang's explanation, but also because he is the same as Tong Liang, he thinks that Zhao Dezhao has taken a fancy to that Sister Pei.
Otherwise, a prince, a daughter from a small family, even if he is injured, this has already been compensated, why do you need to take him into the house?
He wanted to see for himself if the little girl was beautiful and worth the investment.
The car drove to Houmaqiao, and without much effort, the old man who was enjoying the shade under the tree asked about the Pei family's house.
Although Xu Yongchang did not show his identity, he was wearing an internal service robe, his face was white and beardless, and he was accompanied by two guards, so that people could see his identity at a glance.
A group of old people and children who were idle and had nothing to do enthusiastically brought him to Pei's house.
Sister Pei was injured in the morning, and when she came back, she had a full meal, and then fell asleep.
After Xu Yongchang and the others arrived, everyone in the Pei family was shocked, and learned that it was the prince who injured Sister Pei in the morning, so he felt guilty and sent someone to pick her up and go to the East Palace to compensate for one or two.
Pei's mother is a casual person, she has long been ownerless, fortunately, Pei Yun is also well-informed in the army, and while welcoming Xu Yongchang and them into the house and sitting down, she called the eldest brother Pei Feng and Sister Pei to get up.
Xu Yongchang was sweating profusely, and he didn't enter the house, so he rested under the big tree in the yard, and each of them poured a stomach full of cold water that had just been drawn from the old well.
Pei Feng and Sister Pei were soon called, and Xu Yongchang's attention was always on Sister Pei.
The Pei family ancestors have foreign blood, and now the ethnic characteristics are not obvious, but the Pei family brothers and sisters are tall, and their face contours are deeper than ordinary people.
Sister Pei was wearing a sackcloth and short coat, because of an injury on her head, her hair was cut and bandaged, and her messy hair was not beautiful.
Although the image is very poor, the outline of the face can also be seen to be a beauty embryo, which makes Xu Yongchang believe in his judgment more and more.
To his surprise, everyone felt fresh and excited about his arrival, and Pei Mu was still trembling with excitement.
But Sister Pei seems to be very calm, and even has a kind of stability that does not belong to this age.
"Since Your Excellency is from the East Palace, can you have a letter talisman?"
If you make a concubine for the second brother in the future, you will also be the master. Xu Yongchang didn't dare to slack off, took off his waist card, bowed down and handed it over. "This is our family's waist card, and when I came here, the second brother asked our family to bring a code word 'Xinjiapo'"
This code word made several of them a little confused, Xinjiapo? Is it to put your new home on the slope?
But Zhao Dezhao ordered it, and they did it.
And when this Sister Pei heard this codeword, her original vigilance was really eliminated, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
She turned back to her mother and said, "Mother, it was the prince who sent someone to pick up her daughter. ”
Originally, did anyone dare to impersonate the prince? A few heads are not enough to cut off.
Although Xu Yongchang complained in his heart, he became more and more respectful on the surface. Although she is just a yellow-haired girl now, if she is liked by the second brother, she will become a phoenix.
Pei Feng was much more steady, and asked Changyi: "The nobleman is polite, I don't know if the prince will only accept the eldest sister alone, or can he allow us to accompany him?" ”
Xu Yongchang said with a smile: "If you are not at ease, you can naturally follow." The prince is a generous man, and there is no other reward. ”
Seeing that their family members were allowed to accompany him, Pei Feng and Pei Yun's faces were much more relaxed.
The prince invited, but they didn't dare to refuse, let alone make the prince wait for a long time.
But you can't go sloppily, so you have to wash it.
Xu Yongchang naturally knew what was going on, not to mention that the prince didn't have a time limit, so he let them go and wash.
Sister Pei washed at home, and the two brothers ran to the Bianhe River to wash, washed it in a hurry, and got into the car.
The two brothers were in a turbulent mood, but Sister Pei had always been very calm, and even had some small resentments in her heart.
Why was her husband able to cross over to become a prince, but she crossed through Cheng Village Aunt, and when she wanted to see him, she had to rub a layer of skin off her body.
And this steady appearance added a lot of points to her, and next time, regardless of her status as an internal servant, she deliberately talked to Pei Feng and Pei Yun brothers to make friends.
It's not that this ordinary carriage went unnoticed, such as that Cui Zhen, who knew what was going on from the moment the carriage arrived at Houmaqiao.
But he didn't take it seriously in his heart, the prince injured this little girl, and it seemed reasonable to make amends.
So when he got the news, he didn't send anyone to continue to pay attention......
