Chapter 313: The Crown Prince (13)
Liu Min and the four of them came to Weiwang's Mansion and went to Zhao Yuanzuo's bedroom under the guidance of the maids Feng'er and Qing'er.
Zhao Yuanzuo was still lying on a wooden board on the ground with a sluggish expression, but when he saw the two bird cages that Zhang Qi was carrying in his hands, they contained red and blue indigo; Yang Cuihua was also carrying a birdcage in her hand, which turned out to be two green-winged parrots.
Zhao Yuanzuo stared at the four songbirds, a happy smile on his face.
Zhao Yuanzuo's instantaneous expression change was quickly captured by Liu Min, and Liu Min muttered silently in his heart: "It seems that King Xiang's songbird enlightenment method is really effective!" ”
Liu Min muttered in his heart, standing in the distance, he would observe Zhao Yuanzuo lying on the wooden plank; Then he came closer and looked at it for a while, and retreated to Zhao Heng and said, "Brother Heng, Brother Chong is not sick; Crazy is pretended! ”
Zhao Heng let out an "ah", grabbed Liu Min's hand and said with a serious expression: "Aunt Min, do you dare to conclude that my brother is not sick?" The previous madness was faked! ”
Liu Min nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Heng, you and Sister Yang and Zhang Qi moved a chair to sit and listen, and let the slave family enlighten Brother Chong!" ”
The weather was nice, and a ray of sunlight shone in through the window; Zhao Yuanzuo's bedroom was full of warmth.
Zhao Yuanzuo saw Liu Min spinning around the wooden plank lying under him, so he withdrew his gaze from staring at the four birds and stared at her.
Liu Min fixed his mind and said bluntly: "Brother Chong, the slave family is Liu Min who was captured by the emperor's edict!" ”
Zhao Yuanzuo was startled, and Huo Di sat up from the plank; After Zhao Yuanzuo sat up, he seemed to feel a little self-exposed, so he lay back and stared at Liu Min in surprise.
These days, although Zhao Yuanzuo is "crazy", he is not blind to things outside the window; constantly asked several maids Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er to inquire about the news inside and outside the court through various channels.
Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er's four maids are his future wives and concubines, and they care about Zhao Yuanzuo.
The four of them were divided into two shifts to take turns to take care of Zhao Yuanzuo, and Feng'er and Qing'er took one shift; When Feng'er and Qing'er took care of Zhao Yuanzuo's food, clothing and daily life, Yin'er and Yun'er went out to inquire about the news and changed shifts every three days.
Yin'er and Yun'er inquired about the news that the emperor gave Princess Shuyuan to Lu Chengyu, and rushed back non-stop to report to Zhao Yuanzuo.
Zhao Yuanzuo heard Yun'er report that the emperor had given Lu Chengyu to marry, and asked a little nervously: "Where is Lu Chengyu sacred, and what is his character!" ”
Zhao Yuanzuo can ask such a thing, which proves that his "madness" is really pretended.
That's right, Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er's four personal maids also felt that the master was pretending to be "crazy", but they collectively declared to the outside world that the eldest prince was covered in dirt, crazy, and may die soon.
Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er's remarks were to protect Zhao Yuanzuo, and they knew that the eldest prince was only 17 years old; At this time, if you don't protect him strictly like this, you are really sorry for heaven and earth and conscience to die in a hurry.
When Miss Yun'er saw that the eldest prince asked about Lu Chengyu's character and origin, she said bluntly: "Lord, the slave maid wants to provide you with the most realistic first-hand information; deliberately rushed to the Horse Mansion with Yin'er to stare at it for a long time, the Horse Master is really a rich and talented person; The character is not bad! ”
Zhao Yuanzuo listened to Yun'er speak seriously, and said, "Yo he", "Yun'er, you said that the master of the horse is a talent, and he is rich in five cars; Good character! ”
Yun'er's small mouth fluttered and chattered: "Master Ma is the Jinshi and the first of the Taizu Dynasty, but unfortunately there is no backstage in the court, and it is only given to a minor official of Liangzhou Tongju; However, the master of the horse was promoted to the prefect of Chengdu in the position of Liangzhou Tongju, and the master of the horse was in charge of the prefect of Chengdu and was concerned about the imperial court's war against Liao; Personally escort 2,000 war horses to the capital! ”
"And this thing!" Zhao Yuanzuo couldn't help but ask: "So you say that the horse master is a great loyal minister!" ”
Yun'er glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo and grinned: "The slave maid just said that the character of the master of the horse is not bad, the prince believes it now!" ”
"Believe, believe!" Zhao Yuanzuo hurriedly said: "Go on!" ”
Yin'er picked up Yun'er's previous words and said: "After the master of the horse escorted 2,000 war horses to the capital, the emperor ordered him to be a pacification envoy; It's a member of the third grade, let him directly send 2,000 war horses to Yanmen Pass! ”
"Isn't Yanmen Pass the handle of General Yang Ye?" Zhao Yuanzuo asked: "General Yang is the pillar of the imperial court, since he has been sticking to Yanmen Pass; The Khitan thieves don't dare to offend easily! ”
"Lord Wang, you are not wrong, General Yang is really brave and loyal!" Yun'er continued: "After he got the 2,000 war horses sent by the horse master, he was like a tiger with wings, and it happened that Liao Jingzong ordered Xiao Duli, the concubine of the Liao State, to lead the troops to attack Yanmen Pass; General Yang and Ma Ye teamed up to behead Xiao Xuan Li, and captured the generals of the unified army, Li Chonghai and Xiao Tzuai, alive! ”
"It's so exciting!" Zhao Yuanzuo said happily: "Since the Great Song Dynasty fought against Liao, there have been many defeats and few victories, and this battle of General Yang and Master Ma will definitely boost the morale of the whole army!" ”
"Who says it isn't!" Yin'er hurriedly said: "Master Ma has become the son-in-law of the royal family, but the emperor has given him a very tricky task, let him capture Liu Min as the commander of the army!" ”
Zhao Yuanzuo stared at Yin'er and Yun'er in surprise and said, "Who is Liu Min, why did my father let the master capture him!" ”
Yun'er said bluntly: "Liu Min is a neuter, and his dance is not inferior to Zhao Feiyan and Yang Guifei; The third prince took a fancy to her and brought her back to the Xiangwang Mansion, but the lady of Qin sued the emperor; The emperor ordered the horse master to capture it! ”
"How many more people does my father want to force to death!" Zhao Yuanzuo became "crazy" again when he heard this, and kept going around in circles on the floor of the house, muttering and shouting in his mouth: "The father forced Dezhao and Defang to die, and the fourth uncle was forced to die; De Chong was dissatisfied with his perverse behavior and questioned him, so he locked De Chong up; Now it's coming to coerce Dechang again! ”
After Zhao Yuanzuo said these words, he said to Yin'er and Yun'er inwardly: "You go and investigate again, and see how the master of the horse captured Liu Min!" ”
Yun'er and Yin'er quickly reported back the news; said that the emperor first sent Lan Caihe and Wang Jien to Xiangwangfu to capture Liu Min, but was beaten by several unknown people in Xiangwangfu, one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and Lan Caihe died; Wang Jien was seriously injured! ”
"Well played!" Zhao Yuanzuo suddenly became excited, raised his voice and laughed a few times: "How many things are never in a hurry, just seize the day!" Zhao Yuanzuo actually said a famous sentence through the ages.
After Zhao Yuanzuo finished saying this, he said: "Explore again, see how the master of the horse captured Liu Min!" ”
This time it was Feng'er and Qing'er's turn, and the two of them had a look; said that Jiang Qing, Shen Yang, Han Fei, and Yang Guang, the four masters of the Imperial City Division under Ma Ye, were killed, and some people estimated that Liu Min did it.
"Liu Min did a good job!" Zhao Yuanzuo shouted again, Zhao Yuanzuo was playing in the bedroom, and Yun'er said that the third prince was visiting.
Zhao Yuanzuo was very happy when he heard that his own brother had come to visit, but he did not show his sobriety and continued to "pretend to be deaf and stupid".
When Zhao Heng saw Zhao Yuanzuo like this, he cried goodbye, but he came again for the second time; also brought four songbirds, and what made Zhao Yuanzuo even more excited was that Liu Min also came.
Zhao Yuanzuo heard Liu Min say his name and surname, and excitedly stood up from the plank but lay down again.
Liu Min had already seen Zhao Yuanzuo's move, and paced around the wooden board where he was lying; Yiban said with a glance: "Brother Chong became like this because of the matter of Lord Wei, but Minzi feels that Brother Chong is torturing himself!" ”
Liu Min said righteously: "Brother Chong is a smart person and has good popularity; I don't understand the proverb that I am afraid that there will be no firewood to burn if I keep the green mountains! ”
Zhao Yuanzuo was silent and listened to Liu Min's conversation quietly; Liu Min gushed endlessly, and Zhao Yuanzuo noticed her outfit; But it's women's help men's clothing:.
Wear a top snatch and glasses on the eye sockets; Dressed in a black robe, wrapped in a pair of gold chain mail, and wearing soft-soled pearl-embroidered boots; Arrow sleeve small clothes, red phoenix eyes, dropped eyebrows, slender figure, delicate skin, moist as warm jade, soft and greasy; The cherry mouth is red and delicate; Add a touch of seductiveness. The eyes are smart and flexible, a little naughty, a little naughty; But it does not lose its sassy and heroic posture, gentle and elegant temperament.
Zhao Yuanzuo gasped, rolled his body on the wooden board and sat on it, and said silently in his heart: "The third brother is really blessed to meet a beautiful woman like Liu Min, who is both civil and military; This is the high incense that my mother burned in the old urn in her last life......"
