Chapter 62: June
In the blink of an eye, in June, the Great Wei was still peaceful, and there was no major event in the DPRK and China.
The prince of the East Palace, Hongli, didn't know if he had figured it out, and he didn't come to Zhao Hongrun for trouble in the past month.
Zhao Hongrun also felt a little surprised by this, after all, he destroyed the big event of the East Palace's "words" in the Wende Hall on Duanyang Day, not only did not let the East Palace sit firmly in the position of the prince as he wished, but made him bear the fault of "stealing the text and bullying the king".
That's not all, Zhao Hongrun also caused the collapse of the think tank team of the East Palace, it is hard to imagine that the East Palace is willing to swallow his anger.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun sent Zongwei to inquire in the palace, and learned that the East Palace had recruited several companions among the high school scholars after the scientific examination, and newly joined the think tank team of the East Palace, and one of them was a scholar named Luo Ying who persuaded the East Palace.
"Luo Ying? Second place in this year's temple exam? ”
When he heard the news, Zhao Hongrun was indeed a little surprised.
You must know that he was the prince of the jury for this year's scientific examination, and he generally knows the level of the ability of this class of scholars, excluding the scholar who relied on fraud to fight for his career, the standard of this class of scholars is generally quite high, such as Wen Qi, the scholar he used to be very optimistic about.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qi, who was expected by Zhao Hongrun, was named Sun Shan, and even the scholars on the list were all scholars that Zhao Hongrun barely noticed.
What does this mean?
This means that the level of the scholars on the list in this year's scientific examination is relatively high.
And the dignified new science list was recruited by the prince of the East Palace, to be honest, Zhao Hongrun was a little concerned, after all, for now, he is biased towards Yongwang Hongyu.
When it comes to Yongwang Hongyu, there is one thing that has to be mentioned, that is, a while ago, Zhao Hongrun asked Zongwei Shen Yu to investigate the background of the second emperor brother.
As he expected, Yongwang Hongyu was very cooperative, and he didn't hide it at all.
And the results of the investigation made Zhao Hongrun very satisfied: this second emperor brother really acted above board, and while encircling the officials of the Ministry and the Ministry of Households, he also made some achievements, and with his excellent insights and suggestions, he convinced many officials in the DPRK and China, and it is no wonder that this second emperor brother has a good reputation in the court and has a high reputation.
Compared with the Yongwang who has the temperament of the emperor, Zhao Hongrun's third brother, that is, Xiangwang Hongjing's approach, makes Zhao Hongrun a little incomprehensible.
"It seems that King Xiang's ambition is not small......
Zhao Hongrun did not praise or dismiss this, because in his opinion, anyone can be useful at the right time, regardless of the three religions and nine streams, and his third brother Xiangwang Hongjing is undoubtedly "raising soldiers" for the future.
As for the fourth brother Yan Wang Hongjiang and the fifth brother Qing Wang Hongxin, Zhao Hongrun also made a little inquiry, only knowing that Yan Wang was very fond of martial arts, in addition to dancing with knives and guns in the house all day long, he went to the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing to learn martial arts with those generals.
On the contrary, it is the fifth brother Qingwang Hongxin, literati and martial artists have contact from time to time, but it is a pity that his prestige and reputation among the literati are far inferior to the East Palace, King Yong and King Xiang, and his martial arts are not as good as King Yan, so that the front of the door is deserted, and few people will take the initiative to vote for it.
As for the sixth emperor brother Hongzhao, needless to say, in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, this imperial brother only cares about his "Yafeng Poetry Club", and he is keen on collecting all the poems and lyrics, but because he has not yet left the cabinet, and he has no intention of competing for the throne. Therefore, it is impossible to recruit ambitious scholars at all, and I am afraid that only a group of people with similar personalities can play with this prince.
Besides, Zhao Hongrun himself, he is really idle these days, he goes out of the palace every day to see Miss Su, and then goes to the market to buy a small gift back to the palace to give to Princess Yulong, and tell her about the interesting things outside the palace, as if there are only Wenzhao Pavilion, Ningxiang Palace, Cui Xiaoxuan, Yuqiong Pavilion in his eyes, not to mention going to the Vertical Arch Palace, even his younger brother Hongxuan's Tingfeng Pavilion rarely goes.
It may be the relationship between Zhao Hongrun's frequent visits, Princess Yulong is more cheerful than on the day of the Duanyang Festival, although she has no chance to sneak out of the palace at present, but every day she listens to her younger brother Zhao Hongrun tell her about the things she sees outside the palace and tell some interesting things, her days are more fulfilling than before, and the number of laughs is far more than before.
Especially today, Zhao Hongrun told her in the Yuqiong Pavilion that he was flying kites in the palace with Zongwei, because the Son of Heaven suddenly coughed behind their backs, which almost caused Zongwei Mu Qing to fall from the sky, Princess Yulong smiled and leaned back, and for a while it was difficult to even control the ladylike state.
"You ...... Cluck...... None of you have seen your father? ”
"At that time, we were all staring at Mu Qing in the sky, who knew that my father would suddenly stand behind us and scare us?" Zhao Hongrun pouted and said.
"And then?"
"Later, ah......" Zhao Hongrun spread his hands: "Later, my father changed my Xiaoyao Pavilion back." ”
He deliberately omitted the argument with the three scholars in the Hanging Arch Hall because he didn't think it was necessary.
"What Escape? Isn't Hongrun's bedroom Wenzhao Pavilion? ”
"Because it was so ugly, I asked someone from the Ministry of Works to carve a plaque for me...... Later, my father ordered the guards to change it back, and the imperial sister didn't know, so because of this, my father also sent 500 guards to accompany me at that time, as if I was afraid that I would fight with the guards. ”
Hearing this, Princess Yulong asked curiously, "What if there were only a few guards at that time?" Hongrun, will you allow them to take off the plaque? ”
"Of course not! …… I must ask Shen Yu to repair those people well. ”
"So my father's consideration is correct." Princess Yulong covered her mouth and snickered.
Zhao Hongrun said helplessly when he heard this: "Sister Huang, which side are you on?" Can't you just say a few words for me? ”
Princess Yulong smiled and blinked: "The palace attic in the palace is not allowed to be changed without authorization." …… Okay, okay, what about later? ”
"Later, that's the war!"
"I've heard about this." Princess Yulong's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said impatiently: "You have made a mess of your father's imperial garden and fish viewing pond...... It's a pity that those precious bamboo and golden scales ......" In the end, she looked at Zhao Hongrun with a violent gaze.
Zhao Hongrun smiled awkwardly, and said: "That's not what I thought I could counter, but it turned out that my father had an opportunity to take advantage of it and cut off my moon...... Now that I think about it, it was a mistake at the time......"
Looking at Zhao Hongrun reviewing his past plans there, Princess Yulong was angry and funny.
After a long time, she seemed to think of something, and sighed slightly: "Since the death of my mother, it seems that I have never laughed so wantonly." ”
Zhao Hongrun was stunned, as if he had remembered something, and said: "Imperial sister, I once smashed the front hall of Youzhi Palace, aren't you angry?" ”
He asked this because Princess Yulong's mother, Xiao Shuyan, was originally the owner who lived in Youzhi Palace, and after she passed away, the Son of Heaven made Chen Shuyan move into Youzhi Palace.
Princess Yulong shook her head slightly, and said softly: "I went to Youzhi Palace once a few years ago, and my appearance has changed greatly, and the utensils used by my mother have all been thrown away by Chen Shuyan, so there is no nostalgia...... What's more, I have always heard of Chen Shuxi's personality...... I don't blame you. ”
"That's good." Zhao Hongrun breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and seeing this, he prepared to take his leave.
"Are you going to leave now?" Princess Yulong seemed to be a little reluctant, and said, "Why don't you wait for the imperial sister to eat before leaving?" I'd like to hear how you were in charge of the exam......"
"I'm afraid not today." Zhao Hongrun explained in embarrassment: "This year, my mother asked our two brothers to go to Ningxiang Palace for dinner. ”
"Shen Shufei?" Princess Yulong was stunned, her expression couldn't help but become a little lost, and murmured: "I really envy your brothers, you can see your mother at any time and talk to her......
Looking at her lonely appearance, Zhao Hongrun secretly blamed himself for not revealing the truth, and hurriedly remedied: "If the imperial sister has anything you want to talk about, you can also find me at any time, and the imperial brother will accompany you at any time." ”
Princess Yulong's heart warmed when she heard this, and a sweet smile appeared on her face: "Hongrun, you are so good." ”
"......" Zhao Hongrun was stunned, looking at her sweet smile, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he hurriedly said goodbye: "That...... Then I'll go first. ”
"Wait." As if thinking of something, Princess Yulong hurriedly called out to Zhao Hongrun: "Hongrun, will you come over tomorrow?" ”
"Tomorrow...... Is tomorrow the sixth day of June? ”
"That's right." Princess Yulong nodded puzzled.
"Then it's troublesome......" Zhao Hongrun smacked his lips and said with some embarrassment: "Tomorrow is the day when the Six Emperor Brothers return to the Yafeng Poetry Club once in January, and I released his pigeon once during the Duanyang Festival last time, and it will be bad to miss the appointment again tomorrow......
At this time, Princess Yulong already knew that Zhao Hongrun had made an appointment with the sixth prince Hongzhao at the Yafeng Poetry Meeting of the Duanyang Festival in order to sneak her out of the palace, and she was a little moved in her heart.
Moved, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yafeng Poetry Society?" ”
Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders: "Yes, it's just a bunch of well-fed guys talking about things, talking about things that don't matter, or writing some messy and self-righteous poems." ”
"How can you say so badly. …… I heard that the people who were invited to Yafeng Pavilion by the six princes were all young and handsome men from my Chen Capital Daliang. ”
Zhao Hongrun teased: "What, the imperial sister is interested? ”
Princess Yulong glanced at Zhao Hongrun when she heard this, and then sighed: "Sometimes, I really envy you for being a man, even if you are trapped in the palace, you can invite some confidants to the pavilion as guests...... In the past, it was not easy for me to get together and talk to the sisters in the palace. ”
Looking at the look of envy on her face, Zhao Hongrun hesitated a little and made a decision that he and she would both regret in the future.
"Why don't I take you with me?"
"Is that okay?" Princess Yulong said hesitantly, "Isn't this good?" ”
"It's fine. …… Tomorrow I will call you. ”
"That'...... Oh. ”
"PS: I went out just now, but I couldn't send it in time, I'm sorry. In addition, thank you for the golden eggs and rewards of the "Clear Sky Youyou" book friends, thank you for the holiday blessings~』
