Chapter 501: Reassurance
Zhao Huan's arrival caught Zhang Xiaochun a little off guard, not only him, but almost everyone except Xu Zizhen had only one thought in their minds, that is, he was not afraid of death.
Everyone knows that Taiyuan City is in dire straits now, although Xu Zizhen has repeatedly said that Taiyuan will not be broken, but after all, the 100,000 Jin soldiers are there, and everyone will panic, but the prince actually came, and walked into the courtyard with a smile.
"Wechen meets His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Zhang Xiaochun led everyone and fell to the ground in an uproar, Xu Zizhen didn't want to worship, but he was embarrassed to stand when he saw others kneeling, so he had to pretend to lift the hem of his clothes, but fortunately Zhao Huan stopped him in time.
"No need to be polite, let's all be even."
"Your Highness!"
Everyone stood up, but they all hung their heads slightly, the royal dignity could not be violated, even a dignified prefect like Zhang Xiaochun did not dare to face Zhao Huan, only Xu Zizhen did not take it seriously, and said curiously: "Your Highness, why are you here?" Could it be that you have itchy hands and want to lead the troops to have a good time? ”
The corners of Zhang Xiaochun's mouth twitched, Xu Zizhen really dared to say that even the prince dared to squeeze him.
Zhao Huan's face did not change in the slightest, as if he didn't pay attention to Xu Zizhen's joke at all, but said seriously with a smile: "Gu Zhi is too anxious, and he is here to reject the gold bandits with the people." ”
After saying a word, everyone's face was a little weird, the current emperor Zhao Ji's several princes and princes they all know, especially this prince, no one does not understand his temperament, that is, cowardly and incompetent and afraid of death, when the Jin people's right army has not yet reached the real decision, he can't wait to jump out and build a peace talk, as if he is afraid that the Jin people will be able to enter Bianjing overnight and capture him alive, but why did the sun come out of the west today?
Xu Zizhen also smiled secretly in his heart, Zhao Huan has probably never been so impassioned in his life, it is nothing more than listening to himself that Taiyuan will not break, he feels that he is a fairy, and what he says will definitely not be wrong, and immortals are not deceiving, so he has such confidence.
Zhang Xiaochun and the others knelt on the ground again, gratefully praising the prince's righteousness.
Zhao Huan gave Xu Zizhen a look when everyone was not paying attention, Xu Zizhen understood, coughed and asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come from afar, it is better to rest first, as for the plan to defend the city, I will talk about it later, Lord Prefect, what do you see?" ”
Zhang Xiaochun didn't blame him for overstepping his behalf, Zhao Huan and his eyebrows came and saw clearly, he immediately responded, personally arranged a room for Zhao Huan for him to rest, and when Zhao Huan was leaving, he glanced at Xu Zizhen, but Xu Zizhen ignored him, so many people have just arrived, why take care of you first, wait.
Today's excitement is a bit too much, Xu Zizhen feels that he can't take care of it, Xuanyi Daoist doesn't have to be polite there, anyway, there is Zhao Yan Shui Liuli to accompany him, Li Meng and the generals of the Yun family don't need to say, let Bao'er Daye accompany him, Xu Zizhen thought about it and called Yun Shanglan over, he wanted to see what good things his caravan had brought him this time.
A long team of horses outside the yamen rested quietly, the goods on the car were full, all covered with tarpaulins, Yun Shanglan accompanied Xu Zizhen to the side of the car and handed him a list.
These goods were prepared by Yun Shanglan and Li Luoyan, and they are basically rare things that cannot be seen in the Central Plains, which are not necessarily very valuable, but it is difficult to say that they will be sent here for thousands of miles.
Xu Zizhen looked at the ten lines at a glance, there are fur products, handicrafts, fine iron tools and utensils from Western Xia, milk wine and medicinal materials from Tibet, and wool carpets, cowhide boots and so on from the Western Regions.
At the bottom of the list, there were a few things in another row, and Xu Zizhen immediately laughed at a glance: "Yo, Brother Dashi has given the Uighurs a lot of territory, right?" ”
Yun Shanglan said: "Exactly, Yelu Dashi is worthy of being a famous general of a generation, and it has been less than a year since his expedition to the west, and it can be said that he is invincible, and most of the many Uighur tribes have surrendered to him. As she spoke, she pointed to the last few items on the list, "These are the ones he brought to Yaode City, and I looked at them, but they are all rare things." As he spoke, he untied a small bag from his waist and opened it to reveal a sandalwood box inside.
The workmanship of the box is very meticulous, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance, Xu Zizhen took it and opened it, and was suddenly dazzled.
Sure enough, good stuff!
Xu Zizhen was purely handsome in his time, and his appearance was not bad, but he had never played any high-end things, but even his vision could see at a glance that there were some good goods in this box.
Jadeite, warm jade, ruby, cat's eye......
Xu Zizhen looked at these things with straight eyes, swallowed with difficulty, and said, "Brother Dashi has fought so much territory to get such a point?" ”
Yun Shanglan pursed her lips and chuckled: "These were given to you by General Yelu's orders, and the rest are enough for dozens of boxes, but they are not as good as these." ”
Xu Zizhen was satisfied, and picked up a thing from the box, this is a piece of magenta, the whole body is clear without the slightest flaw, shining dazzling in the sunlight, Xu Zizhen groaned a little and put this piece of red jade into his arms, and the box was returned to Yun Shanglan.
"These goods are put on hold first, I'll go find someone to arrange, this box is still there for you, and you have to find some wronged people to buy good things before they can be sold for a big price." After Xu Zizhen finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Yun Shanglan couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Brother Xu, am I just making you impatient like this?" Don't say a word to me. ”
Xu Zizhen paused, turned around and hugged her in his arms, ignoring the fact that this was outside the gate of the mansion, and said in a low voice: "There are some urgent things that have to be done first, and I will talk to you in detail when I go to your house at night, lady." After speaking, he kissed Yun Shanglan fiercely on the mouth.
Yun Shanglan didn't know when Xu Zizhen left, she had fallen into a semi-dementia state, and her ears seemed to be echoing what Xu Zizhen had just called her: "Lady." ”
……
As soon as Xu Zizhen returned to the backyard, he saw Zhang Xiaochun waiting there, saw him coming over and grabbed him, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Brother Xian, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still want to live here for a while?" ”
"yes, didn't he say he was going to defend the city with us?"
"But Taiyuan is not safe now, so it is better for me to immediately order the news to be blocked, so that outsiders don't know that the prince is here."
Xu Zizhen patted him on the shoulder and walked towards Zhao Huan's residence.
Zhang Xiaochun grabbed him again: "Hey, brother Xian, what are you doing?" ”
Xu Zizhen looked back and smiled: "The news doesn't need to be blocked, the prince finally came to visit, and I took him to walk around the city to show his face." ”
Zhang Xiaochun was stunned, and then said thoughtfully: "What does the virtuous brother mean...... Give Taiyuan military and civilian service a reassurance? ”
