Chapter 322: Wang Hao's Garden
This year, Zhao Ji was very worried.
He never expected things to turn out like this.
In the fourth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji felt that it was the pinnacle of his life, which was much more important than the year he ascended the throne!
This year, Youzhou returned to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, which is something that the ancestors and ancestors have not done!
With Taizu's force and Taizong's strength, they didn't take Youzhou, but I took it back! It cost a little money, but what is money? Money is paper - Zhao Ji spanned thousands of years and came to the conclusion of this bull fork early.
Of course, the money given to the country cannot be paper, it must be given with real money, but the money given to the people can be paper!
With a pile of paper, in exchange for Youzhou City, is there anyone smarter than me in this world? Ancestors, is there a greater emperor than me? Isn't this comparable to Li Shimin!
Even compared to Qin Shi Huang, it is just a little bit worse, not much worse.
This was originally a year that made Zhao Ji very excited and very satisfied, but when he was approaching the end of the year, he was spoiled by several pieces of music.
It can't even be said to be corrupt, but it makes him afraid.
Liu Guangshi of Fengzhou said that the Zhe family secretly sent people into the territory of Liao State and took Ningbian City.
This made Zhao Ji simply shocked! Why, didn't the Zhe family listen to the imperial court? Don't you listen to me?
Although the Liao State is gone, but that place, what is called Yongbian, should belong to the Jin State, how can you take it. Did I let you get it?
What I give you is yours. I won't give it to you, you can't rob it!
If you don't listen to me, what's the difference between this and rebellion?
However, this matter is only Liu Guangshi's words, and Zhao Ji will also be suspicious. He knew that in this attack on the Liao State, among the Eastern Route Army, the Zhe family and the other two families had a lot of contradictions. This Liu Guangshi, do you know that it is not a personal vendetta of the communiqué, nonsense?
Zhao Ji really didn't wronged Liu Guangshi at this point, he was a personal vendetta of the communiqué.
The large-scale development of Yongbyon has organized so many people to immigrate to Yongbyon, and it is impossible for Liu Guangshi, who is in Fengzhou, not to know about this matter.
But knowing is knowing, he didn't tell Zhao Ji. Why do you want to tell Zhao Ji? Warlords all want to grab territory, and it is not normal if they don't.
Now that the folded family has sent troops and taken Yongbyon, this is actually expanding the overall strength of the Western Army, and for Liu Guangshi, it is also somewhat beneficial - at least there is no harm. The Fold family did not grab their own turf.
But in the first battle of Youzhou, the Zhejia army fled without a fight, and almost killed Liu Guangshi - he was on the battle array.
This really made Liu Guangshi angry, so as soon as he returned to Fengzhou, he immediately played the fold and sued the fold family in front of Zhao Ji! Provoke without permission, and the crime is unforgivable.
If there was only Liu Guangshi's impeachment letter, Zhao Ji would not be so frightened in his heart.
But then he successively received a recital from Qingzhou Zhizhou and Mizhou professor Qin Hui, both saying that the Zhe family colluded with Jin Guo. This made Zhao Ji even more worried.
He forgot for a moment that this Mizhou professor Qin Hui, an official with sesame mung beans, was not qualified to play at all. Zhao Ji was only thinking about the content inside.
Jiao Bai, the governor of Qingzhou, and Qin Hui, a professor in Mizhou, both said that it was possible to meet Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of Jinguo, in Qingzhou, in private, which was probably not conducive to the imperial court.
There are two people talking about this at the same time, and it seems that eight or nine are not far from ten!
What exactly is the Ori family going to do? Do you want to learn from An Lushan?
But I'm not Tang Xuanzong! will never do the ugly thing of running away from the wilderness, let alone cut off the head of the concubine to make compromises and satisfy the sergeants under him.
I want to strike first.
But how to control people? Who to send to take down the folded family? Since they want to rebel, they must not be able to rely on the decree of the Holy Decree to break it.
But in the end, is the Zhejia going to rebel? Maybe Liu Guangshi is venting his personal anger, maybe he is just chatting with Wanyan Zongbi. It's all likely!
Zhao Ji didn't want to believe that the Zhe family was going to rebel. Because if the Zhe family did not rebel, and because he listened to slander, he forced the Zhe family to rebel, and Zhao Ji couldn't afford this consequence.
He prefers to believe that all this is fake, a misunderstanding.
If the Zhe family wants to rebel, why are they still desperately trying to make money in Bianliang City?
A glass of wine releases military power, that is the wisdom of the ancestors. And the military leaders at that time all wisely gave up power and only focused on making money. In this way, everyone gets along very harmoniously.
Now the Zhejia family is a cigarette and a supermarket, and they make more money than anyone else, where do they have the slightest rebellion.
Besides, Wu Jue also handed over the fold, saying that because he was sick, he wanted to go to Shu to find a famous doctor. Doesn't this solve the misunderstanding?
If the Zhe family wants to rebel, why should Wu Jue's people run to Shu if they have nothing to do? That place is far away from the seal. Once the family broke down, Wu Jue's people were useless at all.
Zhao Ji's head has been turning over and over again for a while, and he just thinks that his brain hurts.
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there is news of a fire in the IKEA supermarket. This is really, which annoys Zhao Ji even more.
Song Huizong, just looking at his thin gold calligraphy that stands alone in the world, you know that he is essentially a literary and artistic youth, of course, he is now middle-aged in literature and art.
As an emperor, he lacked a decisiveness and too much hesitation.
Now that the news of the fire came, Zhao Ji really felt too irritable. This Yanfu Palace seemed to have become a cage, which made him restless for a while.
No, you have to go around the palace.
So Zhao Ji immediately left the forbidden city and came to the mansion of Prime Minister Wang Huang.
Except for the identity of the emperor, in fact, Zhao Ji and Wang Hao are good friends, and they have similar hobbies and like women.
Don't look at Zhao Ji as the emperor, there are many women in the three palaces and six courts, but precisely because he is the emperor, sometimes he has to abide by some rules. For there was a living eunuch who kept a record of his actions at all times. Especially for sexual affairs, if the eunuch does not record it, which day and which day the emperor will be lucky to have a certain concubine, and the concubine will be pregnant at that time, whose pot is it?
So Zhao Ji can't play to his heart's content.
But at this time, he just wanted to indulge himself, so he had to find Wang Hao.
Wang Hao is not the emperor, he is the prime minister, so you can play casually! How happy, how absurd, then how to come.
According to historical records, it is said that Wang Huang's bedroom is set up with a super big bed, "with gold and jade as the screen, Cui Qi as the tent", and then "surrounded by dozens of small couches, choose the beauty of the Ji place", the beautiful name said: "support the tent".
Of course Zhao Ji likes this, and this kind of venting is what he needs most now.
As the prime minister, Wang Hao naturally knows those twists and turns. These are all given to Zhao Ji after he personally saw them. If he doesn't like it, or if it's not good for him, Zhao Ji can't see these twists and turns at all.
Now all parties are collectively attacking the Zhe family, which Wang Hao is very happy to see.
Before, Wang Hao and the Zhe family did not have much to do with it. I will be the prime minister of peace, and you will be the emperor of the northwest soil, and our well water will not interfere with the river water.
But recently, the crown prince Zhao Huan and a kabuki have been very close, and they are in and out of pairs every day, and they almost treat this kabuki as their own outer room.
And this singer Ren Xiaoxiao has a deep relationship with the Zhe family. Her singing and dancing was taught by Master Li, and Master Li was hired by the fold family as a teacher.
The crown prince Zhao Huan has always been unaccustomed to Wang Huang. Although Zhao Huan has a weak personality, he is not a fool. On the contrary, because he is a prince, not an emperor, his status is not so noble.
Moreover, Zhao Ji has many sons, and he is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, so the government and the opposition are not very optimistic that Zhao Huan can take over.
In this way, Zhao Huan can easily get in touch with a lot of news.
For example, Huashigang, which caused trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, nominally all the good things went to the official family, but in fact, ninety percent of the property was divided between Wang Huang, Zhu Mian and others. Zhao Ji had a bad reputation in vain, and all the benefits were taken away by these people.
How can this not make Zhao Huan angry! So he kept looking at Wang Huang unpleasantly.
Wang Hao naturally knew this, so for the sake of his glory and wealth, and for his future days, he befriended Zhao Kai with all his heart.
Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is the third son of Zhao Ji, he is very fond of painting and has a lot of accumulation. Good at painting flowers and birds, extremely exquisite. And good ink flowers. In terms of personal hobbies, he follows Zhao Ji the most.
This is also the reason why Wang Hao took a fancy to him. Both father and son love to draw and always have a common language. Maybe one day Zhao Ji will be happy, and he will give Zhao Kai the position of the prince.
It was precisely because the Zhe family began to approach the crown prince that after Wang Hao saw these twists and turns, he did not bargain with the impeached person according to his previous practice in order to get the greatest benefit for himself, but handed them over directly.
Now seeing that Zhao Ji was almost confused, Wang Hao was very happy.
The more angry Zhao Ji became, the more angry he became. Once the official family can't suppress this anger, then he will be unlucky.
Wang Hao knows people's hearts very well, and knows how to regulate men's emotions.
This time, he knew that Zhao Ji was here to distract and vent. But Wang Hao just didn't find a woman for Zhao Ji to vent immediately.
He knew that Zhao Ji was a person, don't look angry now, but once he finished venting, he became indecisive again.
Wang Hao knew that Zhao Ji would not dare to force the Zhe family to rebel. He's too timid.
But Wang Huang is not timid. Now the world is peaceful. The greatest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State, was defeated by the Jin State. And Jin Guo is just a group of beasts, and the monkey is crowned, so it's not worth caring about at all.
So where are the enemies now? Western Xia? No worries.
There is not only one fold in the Northwest. The folding family is gone, and the Liu family and the Yao family are still there. So don't worry about border guarding.
Now there is a kind of family, the Liu family, the Yao family, plus the forbidden army in the mainland. Are so many people still afraid that they won't be able to beat the discounter?
What's more, if what Liu Guangshi said is true, the Zhe family really took Ningbian City, which is a good thing. Because the Fold family had so many troops, they had to set aside a part to defend the new city, so it was naturally better to be defeated.
Therefore, Wang Hao is not afraid of the rebellion of the Zhe family, or rather, he doesn't care whether the Zhe family wants to rebel or not, just take the Zhe family anyway.
In this way, the crown prince lost foreign aid, and his plan to support King Yun was more feasible.
Wang Hao had this plan, so he uncharacteristically did not find a woman for Zhao Ji first.
But if you don't find a woman for Zhao Ji, you must have a suitable reason. Otherwise, Zhao Ji will definitely not do it - what am I doing here?
Now this excuse is not difficult to find, because Wang Hao has now made a new small garden, and this small garden does not know how a flower bloomed at this time.
This is auspicious, blooming in winter, doesn't it just show that the emperor is extremely sage, and God is here to have fun.
So Wang Hao led Zhao Ji to this garden.
Zhao Ji was restless at this time, so he followed Wang Hao to the garden to relax.
He often came to Wang Hao's house, and most of the places Zhao Ji was familiar with, but he had never seen this garden before. At first, Zhao Ji was barely interested, but when he saw the blooming flower, Zhao Ji's face suddenly turned pale.
At this time, Wang Hao was walking in front to lead the way, and he didn't see the changes in Zhao Ji behind him at all. He said diligently: "Official, you see that this rhododendron is not afraid of the cold and blooms alone, isn't this in line with His Majesty's great achievement of winning Youzhou and opening up the territory." ”
Zhao Ji hurriedly forced himself to regain his composure. But this peace was on the surface, and his heart was getting more and more chaotic.
Azalea ah. How could it be azaleas.
"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian.
Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring.
There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking.
Can this be recalled? It's just that it was already clear at the time. ”
Li Shangyin's poem, if it is used on mortals, may be able to express feelings, but Zhao Ji is the emperor, and the sentence "Emperor Wang's spring heart trusts the cuckoo" is to say that Du Yu, the emperor of Shu, gave way to his courtiers due to floods, and he retreated to the mountains and forests.
Now I suddenly saw a rhododendron that went against the season and bloomed alone in front of me, which made Zhao Ji, who was full of sorrow, not surprised.
Is this a curse on yourself? Let me give way? To whom? Do you want to give you Wang Huang? Do you have what it takes?
And, where did this garden come from? Haven't seen it before?
Zhao Ji looked up and found that there was a small door in the corner, and couldn't help asking, "Wang Xiang, where does this door lead?" ”
Wang Hao looked at the courtyard gate and said casually: "Next door is Mrs. Liang's mansion. ”
Zhao Ji never expected that Wang Hao's next door turned out to be Liang Shicheng's home!
It's worth it!
You, the head of a hundred officials, the king of eunuchs, are shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand!
Where is this going to be?
