Chapter 581: Ancient Capital of the Eight Dynasties 2
The person who came was wearing a white straight jacket with wide sleeves and a placket, with black edges on the cuffs, neckline, and corners of the shirt, a yellow dress underneath, a large belt around the waist, and a face with delicate eyebrows, but his face was a little more bloody than when he met in Xiongzhou years ago. It is His Royal Highness Zhao Huan, the current crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty.
ββIt's just that Zhao Huan was dressed as a scribe at this time, and it seemed that he came after deliberately changing his dress, but such a scribe's outfit also echoed Zhao Huan's delicate face. Compared with when they met in Xiongzhou, Zhao Huan now does not have the kind of look of looking forward and backward, and has more of a high-spirited spirit. It seems that the Xiongzhou incident gave the future emperor some self-confidence.
ββZhou Nan is now in the Banjing Pavilion, and he can be regarded as half a master, so he should greet the crown prince Zhao Huan first, but Zhou Nan saw Zhao Huan's dress, and he didn't know what to call it, so he just stood up with a smile to greet him.
ββ"The horse is as handsome as ever, it seems that the spring breeze is proud! With 300 horsemen, he crisscrossed the north and south of Yanjing, which really fascinated the younger brother. Zhao Huan saw Zhou Nan and bowed his hand to Zhou Nan.
ββ"I'm ashamed, I'm really forced to be helpless, so I have to run for my life." Zhou Nan also replied vaguely, "Please come in and talk." β
ββIt seems that Zhao Huan came with a hidden identity, and he didn't even bring his entourage, he was alone, and followed Zhou Nan to sit down in the inner hall, Zhou Fu didn't wait for Zhou Nan's orders, and immediately dodged out. Zhou Fu also knew the crown prince Zhao Huan, and knew that Zhao Huan must have something to talk about when he came over now. He went to the room on the side and called Xiao Jiu of the Eagle Guards out, and the two of them went one after the other, guarding outside the inner servants where Zhou Nan and Zhao Huan were talking, to prevent anyone from approaching and eavesdropping.
ββAs soon as Zhou Fu went out, Zhou Nan saw that Zhao Huan's face was not as relaxed as just now, and asked, "The prince is dressed like this, but he is afraid of being seen?" β
ββ"Don't hide it, I heard from the Guoxin Museum that you only brought a few dozen people all the way to Bianjing, so I was worried about the horses!" Zhao Huan was kind-hearted and very worried about Zhou Nan, a noble man who hit the fate. Besides, the people around Zhao Huan want Zhao Huan to have a good relationship with Yanjing and seize a big chip for his future accession to the throne.
ββ"Why did the prince say that?" Zhou Nan was a little strange, and said nonchalantly, "Aren't you just here to watch the lanterns?" What can there be to worry about? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, do the three princes still dare to mess around? β
ββ"If you come to the door with an open fire, or stop it on the street, you naturally don't dare; But the horse knows that my third brother is in charge of the Imperial City Division, not under the jurisdiction of the three ya, and under the direct leadership of my father. Although the number of people in the Imperial City Division is small, only 8,500 people, all of them are selected from the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is already one out of a hundred. In addition to these 8,500 registered samurai, the most powerful thing about the Imperial City Division is that it also has an ear and eye in Bianjing City, but all official and civil affairs, public and private affairs, and border espionage can be investigated, and as soon as a problem is found, someone can be sent to arrest it directly, without going through the prison department, directly interrogating and disposing of it. β
ββRegarding the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty's spy organization, Zhou Nan also heard Yang Keshi say it briefly, but Zhou Nan also knew that the really powerful spy organization would not be counted until the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty is mainly in charge of the emperor's personal protection and espionage intelligence.
ββ"I also have fifty elite soldiers under me, where are I afraid of him?" Zhou Nan still said unhurriedly.
ββZhao Huan was a little anxious, if Zhou Nan had an accident in Bianjing, then needless to say, he would be able to get help from those people in Yanjing in the future, and it would be good if he didn't send troops to attack the border. He has seen the power of Wan Shengjun, and Tong Guan, the envoy of the two rivers, has a deep feeling, and he talked about Liu Yanqing, who played a good hand of cards in front of Zhao Huan, "I'm afraid that it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows!" Since King Yun came back from Xiongzhou, he has been languishing, hiding in the library, only knowing that he is drunk every day, and he also wrote a poem, two of which are "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are exhausted, and the wine in the pot is allowed to raft", which shows that he has no ambition. It's just that on Chinese New Year's Eve, the third brother's imperial concubine went over to persuade him, and the third brother seemed to be alive again. It must be another plan, but it's a pity that the people I sent can't ......."
ββZhao Huan suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, smiled unnaturally, and simply said, "The third brother has earliner in my house, so there is no need to say it; I also have two eyes and ears in the third brother's house, and we are each other. However, the secret discussion should be for the purpose of dealing with the colt. β
ββ"Why against me?" Zhou Nan asked rhetorically, I don't even know the content, why don't you say it's to deal with you? Zhou Nan muttered in his heart.
ββ"Didn't the colt send a carriage to my father?" Zhao Huan began his own speculation.
ββ"Yes! Why does it have something to do with carriages again? Zhou Nan suddenly found that Zhao Huan's personality was really not suitable for being an emperor.
ββ"My father liked the carriage very much, and so did my eighth sister, whom you have seen, Emperor Maude, and they often rode in the palace. My father's emperor ordered the horse to send the car-making craftsman over, but the horse resigned......"
ββ"Exactly, the art of making cars is the source of food for the people of the craftsman family, how can I watch the people who build the car lose their ancestral craftsmanship and not be able to feed the family?" This time, Da Song invited Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan to come to Bianjing together, only saying that they were appreciating the lanterns, and did not mention the car builders, and Zhou Nan was also happy to pretend not to understand. Even in front of Zhao Ji, he replied the same.
ββ"The one who invited the horse to enjoy the lantern was the eighth sister; It was the father who decreed the extension of the Shangyuan Festival; Zhao Huan thought about Zhou Nan and said, "The horse knows that after the third brother was depressed in the mansion for a few days, the first thing he did when he left the mansion was to go to his father and urge his father to invite the horse and the princess to come to enjoy the lanterns. You say they have been secretly discussing for days, who are they trying to deal with? β
ββ"You just said that it was your eighth sister who originally invited me to enjoy the lanterns?" Zhou Nan reminded.
ββ"Eighth sister, I know best, but it's just playful, and I ordered my father to dismantle your carriage, and I was going to build it in the same way, but the carriage fell apart after being disassembled, and it couldn't be pieced together. The eighth sister saw that it was a pity, so she thought that after you came, she would ask you to build another treasure car in person, so that she would use the lantern as an excuse. Where is she going to deal with you?! Zhao Huan only knew that Mao De was worried about being reprimanded by his father, so he shifted the target and asked Zhou Nan to come to Bianjing, and then find a way to ask Zhou Nan to build a few more treasure cars.
ββZhou Nan knew the reason for coming to Bianjing this time, it seems that before he came, this King Yun arranged a net to wait for him to come to Bianjing. After all, Bianjing is King Yun's territory, not to mention that he is an outsider, that is, the crown prince, and his every move is afraid that he is also under the surveillance of King Yun.
ββThinking of this, Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he said to Zhao Huan, "Thank you for the prince's reminder, I am very grateful." If it was just for this matter, the prince sent someone to inform him, so why did he come in person? β
ββZhao Huan smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that the tree is a big move, but I am entrusted by others, and I dare not come." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Nan. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
