Chapter 113: The Emperor's Visit
I only heard that Yin Jiangtao of Shuntian Mansion was conscientious, punished traitors, and governed the capital in an orderly manner, but I had not seen it with my own eyes, Zhao Yan did not dare to believe it, but now I have a glimpse of the whole leopard, and I think this Yin Jiangtao of Shuntian Mansion will not be in vain.
Jiang Tao is the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the third grade, Zhao Yan is naturally not qualified to see him, so after the matter is over, he said goodbye to the Sun Tongju, and after walking for a while, the people who followed gradually dispersed, Zhao Yan turned his head sharply, and saw that the little beggar who followed him was a little difficult.
"What's your name? How old is this year? Where are the people? Why did you come to the capital? At this moment, Zhao Yan remembered to ask the little beggar's name, and he really had a headache about his fate.
The little beggar replied solemnly: "The benefactor is on the top, the villain's name is Zhao Jiu, this year is twelve, his hometown is Wei County, his parents died since he was a child, and he was later stunned by the photographed flowers, and wanted to sell the villain to the south, on the way the villain found an opportunity to escape, and came to the capital in a daze, originally wanted to find a place to work and earn dinner, but no one wanted to see the villain's age, and he was hungry and had no choice, so he could only beg. ”
The perennial malnutrition made the little beggar look weak, and people were worried about whether it would be blown away if a strong wind blew, Zhao Yan saw that he spoke in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but wonder: "Have you ever read?" Your parents died when you were a child, how did you live in your hometown? ”
The little beggar Zhao Jiu replied with some twist when he heard this: "The villain often eavesdrops outside the social studies, so he can barely recognize some words, and he runs errands and errands on the street on weekdays. ”
Zhao Yan nodded, and asked again: "Then do you still have relatives in your hometown?" ”
Zhao Jiu shook his head and said, "No." The villain is grateful to the benefactor for the rescue, the villain has no ability, but the legs and feet are faster, and there will be a place for the villain in the future, please ask the benefactor to speak, and the villain will leave. ”
At a young age, he is so old-fashioned, and he doesn't know how much he has suffered and how many sins he has suffered, but the things in the world are not enough to give more than enough, and there are not many people who are as hard as the little beggar Zhao Jiu, Zhao Yan didn't want to be kind anymore, but watching the thin back gradually drift away, he finally couldn't help but stop it, thought about it and said: "You go home with me first, maybe I can find you a job to support yourself." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiu shook his head violently, and said hurriedly: "That's not good, the gentleman in social science said that people must be self-aware, and the villain is already grateful for being rescued by the benefactor, and he doesn't dare to trouble the benefactor anymore, and the villain is gone." ”
After speaking, Zhao Jiu turned around and left, his feet flew fast, and he disappeared around the corner of the street in a moment.
Zhao Yan shook his head, he was not in a good mood, Zhao Jiu rejected his kindness, that was his knowledge and interest, but it was really a little unpleasant for his kindness to be rejected.
Forget it, I don't think he will travel far at a young age, so if he has the opportunity to help in the future, he can help.
Zhao Yan turned his head and beckoned Li Er to go home, but when he saw the packets of herbs that Li Er was carrying, he was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said: "Take the medicine home, let Xiang'er boil it and then ask Zhao Jiu to eat, let's go faster, maybe we can meet Zhao Jiu on the road, just by the way." ”
Li Er scratched his head, he had long forgotten that he still had the medicine in his hand, otherwise he would have to remind Zhao Yan just now.
"Childe, when I saw this little beggar, the little one remembered when he was a child."
"Oh?"
"The fate of the little one is similar to that of this little beggar, if it weren't for Li Yuanwai to pick up the little one from the street, I'm afraid the little one would either starve to death or be beaten to death by other beggars."
"Alas......"
"Childe, look, is that black shadow on the ground in front of you a person?"
Zhao Yan heard the sound and looked, and there was indeed a black shadow lying on the ground a few feet away in front of the corner, and the silhouette was similar to that of a person.
At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and it was not clear from a distance, but this road was the closest way home, with Li Er by his side, Zhao Yan was not afraid, so he said, "Let's go forward and have a look." ”
When he got closer, Li Er stretched out his leg and gently kicked the black shadow, and said in his mouth: "Childe, it's really a person." ”
As he spoke, Li Er squatted and turned the man over to take a look, and suddenly shouted: "Childe, it's that little beggar Zhao Jiu, he seems to have fainted." ”
Zhao Yan stepped forward and took a look twice, sure enough, it was the little beggar Zhao Jiu, who must have not eaten for a day, and was punched by Boss Song.
"Give me the medicine, you take him, let's go to the hospital."
The night was dark, and Xiang'er heard a sound at the courtyard door in the house, and was immediately surprised: "It must be that my uncle and Li Er are back." ”
Li Yun walked out of the house quickly, and saw that the two people in the courtyard hadn't left by the hazy moonlight, his brows couldn't help frowning, but he said, "Xiang'er, go and take a look." ”
"Don't look at it, we're back." Zhao Yan walked out of the doorway first, and Li Er followed closely with the little beggar in his arms.
Li Yun took two steps tightly, suddenly hugged Zhao Yan's arm, and said in a low voice: "Xiaolang, why did you come back, these two people didn't want to look for you, and they couldn't leave no matter how they drove away, they scared me and Xiang'er to death." ”
Only then did Zhao Yan find that there was a person sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, and there was a person standing behind him.
"Li Er, let Zhao Jiu live in a room with you first, and then take him to take a bath when he wakes up, and then get him something to eat. Xiang'er, there are a few packets of herbs here, you take them to the kitchen and boil a packet, and wait for Zhao Jiu to finish eating for him. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yan turned around and walked to the stone table, arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for?" Do we know each other? ”
The person sitting laughed and said, "Of course I know, otherwise how would my son sit in your yard and wait for you for more than an hour." ”
This person's voice was very unfamiliar, and Zhao Yan asked suspiciously, "What do you call Your Excellency?" ”
The man didn't answer and asked: "Zhao Shuchang's wife is really extraordinary, but Zhao Shuchang has been gone for several months, and he left his son alone, which really makes his son feel cold." ”
Zhao Yan's heart chuckled, and he shouted, "Xiang'er, bring the lamp and candle." ”
Before the lights and candles approached, Zhao Yan finally saw the faces of the two people sitting and standing, Zhu Qizhen's appearance Zhao Yan couldn't remember it clearly, but he knew exactly what Xining looked like.
"Hehe, Zhao Shuchang, Your Majesty is in person, why don't you hurry up and see you?" Xi Ning sneered, looking forward to seeing Zhao Yan's panicked appearance.
I don't know that Zhu Qizhen didn't understand Xining's intentions at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it to heart.
"Today's son is a micro-service, Zhao Shu often doesn't need to be polite, sit down."
Zhao Yan was a little confused, but as soon as he returned to Shenzhou, he was sent a full copy of "Golden * Bottle * Plum" in an urgent manner, could it be that Xining did not transfer it to the emperor, but swallowed it privately?
Zhao Yan sat down uneasily, not knowing what to say at all, while Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhao Yan with interest and didn't speak for a long time.
Xi Ning observed for a moment, and felt that he couldn't let His Majesty be snubbed under his nose, and was about to speak, but Zhao Yan had already come back to his senses, and asked in a ghostly manner: "Your Majesty, have you eaten?" ”
Zhu Qizhen and Xining were stunned, why did Zhao Yan speak so differently?
"I ...... This son has eaten it. Zhu Qizhen replied, feeling very awkward, so he simply said directly: "Zhao Shuchang's "Golden * Bottle * Plum" has already finished reading, but after watching the rest of the stories, I feel bored, I don't know if Zhao Shuchang has other similar stories?" ”
Well, here's the urging to come. Zhao Yan was speechless for a moment, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The next book is being conceived, Your Majesty may have to wait a few days, after all, the minister still has to be on duty to repair history, and he really can't spare much effort to ponder the script." ”
Zhu Qizhen's eyes darkened, and he thought for a while before saying, "I see, this son knows." ”
The courtyard was quiet for a moment, and Zhu Qizhen said again: "How does that little beggar Zhao Shuchang plan to settle it?" ”
Zhao Yan didn't expect Zhu Qizhen to know Zhao Jiu, and when he heard this, he said: "That little beggar is named Zhao Jiu, his background is pitiful, the minister originally wanted to send him to the nursing home, but he is not too young, and he is not disabled, if it is sent to the nursing home, it is a little inappropriate, so the minister wants to send him to his hometown after he recovers from his injuries, and then Tuochen's father will find a job for him." ”
"It turns out that you have already thought about it, since this is the case, then this son doesn't care." Zhu Qizhen nodded, and the meaning of his words was that he wanted to help Zhao Jiu.
Zhao Yan didn't know that Zhu Qizhen had witnessed everything that happened on the street from beginning to end, but seeing that Zhu Qizhen was showing good intentions, he was suddenly relieved in his heart.
Walking on the way back to the palace, Zhu Qizhen's eyes were full of contemplation, occasionally frowning, and Xining couldn't help but ask when he saw this: "Your Majesty, what is there to worry about?" ”
Zhu Qizhen subconsciously said: "Now that the cabinet is short of members to be filled, the ministers of the court quarreled this morning, but they all have their own candidates, and I really don't know how to choose." ”
Xi Ning was dumbfounded, where is the affairs of the court that he, a little eunuch, can interfere in, but he provoked the emperor's words, if he doesn't round it up, wouldn't he seem very incompetent?
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the prince."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "I have this intention, but my husband is old and has recently contracted a cold, and I really can't bear to bother him with anything." ”
"To be able to serve His Majesty, even if the prince is caught in the cold, he must be very willing, or when he returns to the palace, the slave and maid will go to the prince and ask him?" Xining borrowed stitches and felt that this was a rare opportunity to improve his status.
"It's okay, you go to visit Mr. for me, and by the way, see who is on duty at the Tai Hospital today, and let him also go to treat Mr."
"The slave obeys." Xining lowered his head and was full of respect, but he was a little happy in his heart, he was just an insignificant little eunuch before, after this incident, he might be able to let the old ancestor see his status in front of His Majesty, and then leave an impression and promote himself.
The more Xi Ning thought about it, the happier he became, but he didn't know that in Wang Zhen's mind, only Han people could be promoted and reused.
