Chapter 368: Your Highness, look at whether your daughter is beautiful or not
It was a sunny day, and the warmth of the wind had not yet completely faded, but it was also mixed with the cold wind of winter.
The bustling street was crowded with people, and I don't know who roared: "His Royal Highness King Xian is back!" Enter the city through the West Gate of Water immediately! Hurry up and watch! Onlookers! ”
As soon as these words came out, they instantly caused a violent response.
Some women and children excitedly said: "Your Highness has come back from the scriptures?" ”
"Your Highness is finally back!"
"Holy monk, holy monk!"
"I've always heard of His Highness's name, and it is rumored that he is a rare man in the world, and I want to go and see it too!"
……
In this way, the people on the street turned out to be star chasers, and a large number of people rushed towards Shuiximen to see Xiao Rui's true face.
When Xiao Rui came to Kyoto, Zhang Jinfu, the loyal and brave marquis who heard the news, arranged for 50 border guards to greet him and escort him into the city.
I saw him sitting down and riding a white horse, having changed out of his ordinary robe, wearing a formal three-clawed golden dragon robe, his hair was tied with a jade crown on his head, and he was wearing an iron dragon around his waist.
When he entered the city, he suddenly found that the streets were crowded with people, and they seemed to be scrambling to admire him, and if it were not for the soldiers of the patrol battalion to maintain order on both sides, they might all have pounced.
This scene made him feel so familiar, just like the champion of Jinke riding a horse on the street, so that the people looked at it so chic, hey, he went out by himself, and he didn't do any great feats, why did he provoke the people to be so flocking?
Since the people were so enthusiastic, Xiao Rui immediately showed a bright smile, showed his standard eight teeth, and stretched out his hand to greet the people, and this move didn't matter, it caused an even bigger sensation.
Saw:
Many women exclaimed excitedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are the holy monk in our hearts!" ”
"We have such a handsome prince in the Great Xia Kingdom, and he also inspects the Great Xia Prefecture, it is really as recorded in the book, it is so legendary!"
"Your Highness, look at whether your daughter is beautiful!"
……
Xiao Rui was a little confused, Holy Monk? What the heck! In addition, the aunt who called her daughter beautiful or not, please wipe your saliva.
Not only Xiao Rui was puzzled, but Guo Jia was also surprised, he was also curious why the people were so excited, and if they didn't return to the dynasty triumphantly, what the hell did the people do?
On the second floor of a teahouse on both sides of the street, the third prince Xiao Ze opened the window to look at Xiao Rui who came over, and praised him: "The seventh brother is so majestic, the ninth brother is really powerful, a book has made the seventh brother gain the worship of the people, admire and admire." ”
The eldest prince Xiao Lie walked over, looked at the high-spirited Xiao Rui, couldn't help but snort, and said: "Xiaodao, the people are ignorant, when the popularity of "Journey to the West" dissipates, it will be fine." I heard that the seventh brother was assassinated on the way back to Beijing? Who does the third brother think will do it? ”
"How would my brother know?" Xiao Ze shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "After the seventh brother returns to the house, he needs to enter the palace to ask for peace, he has been running around for so long, we, as brothers, naturally have to prepare a generous gift to see him." ”
"Forget it, I'm not going." Xiao Lie thought about it, but he still didn't want to see Xiao Rui.
Xiao Ze was a little puzzled, I don't know what happened to King Jin?
What's wrong? If you suspect that your son looks like Xiao Rui, you won't go.
In the welcome of the people, Xiao Rui returned to the Xianwang Mansion.
In front of the mansion, Jia Xu, Wu Zhanfa, Wei Guang, Peony, Wu Zhanfa, Gao Quan, as well as the servants and maids in the mansion, all went out of the house to greet each other, and when they saw Xiao Rui coming on a white horse, everyone saluted together and said: "Meet Your Highness under (villain)." ”
Xiao Rui got out of the carriage, held Jia Xu up with his hand, and then smiled at the others: "Get up, this king has been inspecting the state capital for the past few months, and the mansion has been taken care of by you, and you have been waiting hard." Yuan Fang, reward! ”
Li Yuanfang immediately moved out of the box and began to distribute silver, and everyone had a share.
Subsequently, Xiao Rui asked the soldiers of the patrol battalion to go back to his life, and then he entered the mansion.
When he came to the living room, Xiao Rui asked a few people to sit down, and then immediately asked: "Mr. Wenhe, why are the people so enthusiastic when I enter the city, and they still call me a holy monk?" I'm going to have to go to the palace first, but if I don't understand it, I'm always curious. ”
When Jia Xu heard this, an expression appeared on his face, and then he took out a book from his sleeve and said with a smile: "I expected His Highness to be curious, so I prepared early, Your Highness, please take a look!" ”
Xiao Rui took a look at it, and there were three big words on the front: "Journey to the West"!
"Could it be that Xiao Yan wrote this? Already published? Xiao Rui was pleasantly surprised, but then, he realized the problem and hurriedly opened it to check, and the first one was the name of the protagonist: Xiao Qirui!
! Xiao Yan of the dog day actually named his protagonist Xiao Qirui!
Next, he looked at Zhang Hui's introduction, and this look suddenly rushed to his head.
"Qilang left the Valley of Despair and went west to enter the daughter country by mistake!"
"The daughter of the country is by mistake for life, and Shichiro is trapped in the Pansi Cave!"
"The spider banshee pays her heart, and Shichiro becomes a holy monk!"
"Go west to the west to get the Bible, cross people and cross yourself and cross the world!"
……
Xiao Rui has already grabbed his hair with his hand, what the hell am I doing, I suggest Xiao Yan write, just put myself inside? Do I belong to digging a pit and jumping by myself, burying myself?
"Your Royal Highness, since the advent of His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty's "Journey to the West", it has caused a violent sensation, Hengtong Chamber of Commerce relied on live clay printing, immediately printed 10,000 copies, out of stock within two days, and then printed 20,000 copies, out of stock within three days, the teahouses in the national capital are all telling the story of "Journey to the West". And the protagonist of the book, Xiao... Ahem... The love between the holy monk and the daughter of the country, and the emotions of the seven spider banshees, have also successfully conquered countless women, from the cardamom years to the fifty old women, all of whom regard the holy monk as the lover of their dreams. Therefore, when His Royal Highness came back as the prototype, he naturally wanted to provoke the people to welcome him. Jia Xu explained.
Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "Sir, a girl in the prime of her life can do it, don't mention a fifty-year-old woman, just now an aunt on the road asked me if my daughter is beautiful..."
After speaking, Xiao Rui shuddered, don't think about eating today, because he is afraid of vomiting.
Guo Jia on the side took "Journey to the West" and flipped through it, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Highness, don't look at the pure heart of His Royal Highness the King of Tang, the description of lingering compassion and pure love in this article is very vivid!" ”
"Xiao Yan! He's a sullen man! Sure enough, the true face was revealed! Xiao Rui gritted his teeth in anger, originally thinking that he would get married and give him a big congratulatory gift, hum, now he doesn't even have hair!
Jia Xu on the side opened his mouth, and was about to say that King Tang had come to look for him a few times, and asked him to ask for a million taels as a gift, judging from the current situation, it is better not to say it, and it is estimated that His Royal Highness will be fried if he says it.
"When I come back, I'll settle accounts with King Tang, Yuan Fang, go prepare the carriage, I'll go to the palace first!" Xiao Rui got up and said.
Li Yuanfang immediately went to prepare the carriage, and then escorted Xiao Rui to the noon gate.
After entering the palace and coming to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I heard that His Majesty was discussing important matters with the cabinet scholars, so Xiao Rui did not disturb. After walking for so long, I was quite concerned about Yan Xiaoxiao, this little girl was in the harem, and I didn't know if she was doing well, so she went to the side hall to take a look.
Who knows, there are only two eunuchs in the side hall, and they didn't see Yan Xiaoxiao, could it be that Yan Xiaoxiao is in the Heart Cultivation Palace? I have already gained the trust of His Majesty, so I can stay inside and hold a pen, and I can hear about national events?
The more Yan Xiaoxiao is weighted, the safer she is in this bloodless palace.
Xiao Rui didn't sit in the side hall for long, and he saw Hai Dafu come to invite him in person.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has finished discussing state affairs and summoned His Highness to the palace." Hai Dafu is respectful.
Xiao Rui looked at Hai Dafu and quipped: "Hey, it's a farewell to Fuzhou, it's been a few months, and Father-in-law Hai doesn't grow a beard anymore, I'm really not used to it!" I don't know if Haigong is used to it? ”
Hai Dafu was sad in his heart, King Xian was really still His Royal Highness King Xian, and he began to go under the knife as soon as he met, this was a deliberate attempt to expose his scars, don't you know if he has a long beard?
"Your Highness said that if you are not used to it, the slave and maid are not used to it!" Hai Dafu is obedient, and he definitely doesn't dare to refute Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui was very satisfied, got up and followed him into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
It just so happened that several cabinet scholars happened to leave, and after seeing Xiao Rui, they all bowed their hands to show respect. Xiao Rui and several scholars were not familiar with each other, so they just smiled.
Then Xiao Rui stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The son of the emperor visited his father, and the son of the emperor left the capital for more than seven months, and failed to serve the left and right, and asked the father to punish him." Now that he sees that his father's demeanor is still the same, his sons are relieved. ”
Emperor Xia said with a smile: "Get up, let's say goodbye to Fuzhou, you helped the Marquis of Zhenyuan solve the tricky matter, smashed the conspiracy of the Zhao State, and stabilized the situation at the border pass, you did a very good job!" ”
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Erchen also thinks it's done very well!" ”
Who knows, Emperor Xia changed the topic and asked, "It's just... I heard that after leaving Fuzhou, you also went to Yandu? Didn't some people say they wouldn't go to Yan Kingdom? ”
"Uh... Did you say that? Xiao Rui pretended to be confused, and then pointed at Hai Dafu and said: "Father, just now in the side hall, Gonggong Hai insulted his son!" ”
Hai Dafu trembled in fright, and his heart was grief-stricken, Your Highness, your trick to change the topic is too bad, do you think you can deceive Your Majesty?
Emperor Xia ignored Xiao Rui's nonsense, but he didn't mention his trip to Yandu.
"All the way from Xiangzhou, I copied a lot of officials." Xia Huang said with a smile.
Xiao Rui's heart suddenly burst out, and he immediately realized that the enemy army in front of him was in position, and if he was not careful, he would inevitably fall into the trap.
So he immediately said righteously: "The sons and daughters all obeyed the teachings of their father and did what an inspector should do. The sons are so selfless, honest and honest, and those corrupt officials still use money to honor their sons and daughters, trying to evade responsibility, is it possible? The sons are now willing to take out all the stolen money they have paid tribute to their sons and daughters, and give it to their father, and ask their father not to shirk it, but to keep the money in the treasury and keep it for great use. ”
Xia Huang nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Rui saw His Majesty's expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Qi has a heart, how much silver are you talking about?" Emperor Xia asked.
Xiao Rui stretched out his five fingers and said, "500,000 taels!" ”
"Oh, really?" Emperor Xia nodded, and suddenly said, "Hey, I seem to remember to reward you with a gold medal." ”
Xiao Rui hurriedly changed his words and said, "Erchen remembered wrong, it's one million taels!" ”
Emperor Xia said again: "Since you have returned to Beijing, are you going to take the gold medal..."
"Two million taels! Father, the price is up. Xiao Rui's heart was bleeding, and in order to keep the token of "Ru I came in person", he also fought hard.
Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Two and a half million taels, send it to the palace as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Rui could only accept it, but Nima 205 was so ugly, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear of raising the price again.
Xia Huang smiled even more, and he could get money with his mouth, of course he was happy.
"Although you rushed back early this time because of Xiao Jiu's wedding, since you are back, don't go out for the time being, you have already made the local officials panic, so let's stop for a while. It won't be long before something big happens. Xia Huang said.
Event?
It can be said that it is a big deal by Emperor Xia, what kind of big event will it be?
