Chapter 280: The road is narrow
The next day, when Zhao Hongrun woke up, he still felt a little groggy in his head, which was the most direct manifestation of the fact that his brain was still running at high speed last night and had not been fully rested.
"Your Highness is awake?" The Zong Wei who was guarding in the dormitory was really Gao Kuo, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun a few times suspiciously, and said, "Your Highness doesn't look very good today, did you not sleep well yesterday?" ”
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun responded vaguely.
At this moment, because the brain is completely active, Zhao Hongrun, with his super memory, can clearly recall the dream he had last night, just like a movie playback, which is very magical.
But in fact, that's not interesting.
At least in Zhao's view, that's not interesting.
Because, the situation in the dream is almost all a reflection of reality, it is not controlled by Zhao Hongrun, but instinctively reflects some things that he usually buries in his heart.
To put it bluntly, the more you usually care, the more likely it is that similar scenes will appear in your dreams, which is also the so-called "thinking about the day and dreaming at night", not just referring to Zhao Hongrun, but everyone.
It is precisely because the things that appear in the dream are borrowed from reality, so Zhao Hongrun, who has a super memory, is more and more easily "deceived" by his subconscious.
No, it wasn't until now that he woke up to the fact that the "Mi Jiang" in the dream had always been wearing the costume of Princess Yulong, and he rarely wore jewelry on his body, hands, and head, but you must know that Mi Jiang never wore these things that she called cumbersome.
Obviously, the reason why the "Mi Jiang" in the dream came to see Zhao Hongrun last night was because of Princess Yulong. In the dream, it was just that the conversation between Zhao Hongrun and Princess Yulong was grafted onto Mi Jiang.
"It's full of loopholes......
Zhao Hongrun shook his head secretly, until now. Only then did he "recall" how ridiculous and boring the dream that "Mi Jiang" would come to visit him last night, after all, it was just a combination of yesterday's conversation with Princess Yulong, and Mi Jiang's cynicism at him in the past.
It's boring because it's all happening. There is nothing new to speak of.
If there's anything that isn't boring, I'm afraid it's just that kiss.
The real touch made Zhao Hongrun's memory that he was forced to forget because of embarrassment was still fresh again, as if he really kissed Mi Jiang again.
"Whew."
After patting his face, Zhao Hongrun got up and ********, and at the same time said to Gao Kuo: "Gao Kuo, go prepare the carriage, let's go to Yuanyang today." ”
"Don't you eat in the palace?" Gao Kuo asked.
Zhao Hongrun thought about it. Shaking his head, he said, "Forget it, let's buy some wine and meat on the streets in the city and eat it on the road." …… By the way, when I went out, I asked Lu Mu to come in, and I had something to tell him. ”
"Yes." Gao Kuo clenched his fists and turned to leave.
After a long time, Zongwei Lu Mu walked in.
It can be seen that a few days ago, because he bumped into the good things between His Royal Highness and Mi Jiang, Lu Mu's expression was a little sneering when he came in. Maybe he couldn't help but speculate in his heart: Hey, Your Highness is finally going to punish me for that incident......
His guess was evident on his face. Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Do you think I specially called you over because of the events of that day?" ”
Lu Mu was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately hurriedly flattered: "I don't know what His Highness commands?" ”
I have to say that he is also a smart person, even if Zhao Hongrun reminds him of the events of that day, he will never take the initiative to mention it, and he will divert the topic if he can.
And no wonder. Bumping into His Royal Highness and making love to a woman who is not impossible to become a princess in the future is quite taboo.
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes again, he didn't bother to debunk Lu Mu's little trick, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Mu, you can call the four brothers casually later." Protect the Jade Dragon Imperial Sister and them. ”
"Huh?" A little puzzlement flashed on Lu Mu's face.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun added: "That's the case, Imperial Sister Yulong has been bored in the palace for a while, and she came to me yesterday to ......" As he spoke, he told Lu Mu about the conversation with Princess Yulong yesterday.
Lu Mu suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I understand the lowly position, then I will call Zhu Gui, He Miao, Zhou Pu, and Chu Heng later." …… Does Your Highness have any other commands? ”
Zhao Hongrun thought about it and told Lu Mudao: "Bring enough money." ”
Hearing this, Lu Mu smiled and nodded, and immediately, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun and said cautiously: "If Your Highness has nothing else, then ...... Then the lowly post retired first? ”
Zhao Hongrun couldn't see through his thoughts, and scolded angrily when he heard the words: "Get out!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun really didn't mean to reprimand himself, Lu Mu left with a smile.
After that, Zhao Hongrun sat in the house for a while, and then left the dormitory and walked into the front hall.
As he expected, Mi Jiang still did not appear in the front hall today, and sat in her "exclusive seat" in the front hall to drink tea as before.
"According to Xiao Rui, Mi Jiang has been stuffy in her room alone these days, and it seems that there is always something unrelenting......
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the news about Mi Jiang that he got when he talked to Princess Yulong yesterday.
But after changing his mind, Zhao Hongrun immediately shook his head and put anything about Mi Jiang behind him.
It's not about liking or disgusting Mi Jiang, but Zhao Hongrun doesn't want this woman who doesn't really have much to do with it to always appear in his dreams.
But I have to say that human thinking is a very complex thing, not that Zhao Hongrun doesn't want to delve into certain things, his thoughts can change with subjective consciousness, and even, the more Zhao Hongrun doesn't want to think about Mi Jiang, but those things seem to be stuffed in his head and linger.
About half an hour later, Gao Kuo returned to Wenzhao Pavilion, and at a glance, he saw that his Royal Highness was sitting in the third seat on the east side of the front hall, and he didn't know what to think about there.
Seeing this, Gao Kuo stepped forward and called in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness? ”
"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun, who was awakened like a dream, raised his head.
"The carriage is ready and is parked outside the palace. …… Your Highness, what's wrong with you? ”
"It's fine." Zhao Hongrun shook his head. stood up, only to find that I didn't know when I was sitting in Mi Jiang's exclusive seat.
This discovery made him a little pale.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Hongrun led Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Gao Kuo, Chong Zhao, and Mu Qing five sect guards, and left the palace straight and rode through the roads in the city in a carriage. After buying some wine and food, he left Daliang and headed for Yuanyang.
Yuanyang does not refer to Yuanyang County, but to Yuanyang Kingdom.
Like this county, it is larger than ordinary counties, such as this Yuanyang, which contains in addition to Yuanyang County. In fact, there are two other small counties.
In addition, there is also a special status of the main city in the territory of the Yuanyang Kingdom, which is located about five or six miles northwest of the Yuanyang County seat, which is specially for the descendants of the Yuanyang King family surnamed Ji to live, and there are about 300 to 500 Kingdom Guards guarding it, and ordinary people cannot approach.
To be precise, only the main city of the Yuanyang Kingdom can be regarded as the place where Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, can really control. The rest are like Yuanyang County and two other county seats, although they also belong to the territory of Yuanyang Kingdom. However, in addition to the taxes paid by the local people for the children of the Yuanyang Wang's family surnamed Ji, in fact, the rights of the Yuanyang Wang's family are not large, and they are not comparable to the Yijun Xiong Tuo and other Yijun who enjoy fiefdoms such as the Xuancheng Jun of the Chu State.
To take the most direct analogy, like Xiong Tuo, Xiong Wu, Xiong Hu, Xiong Qina and other Chu monarchs, they can be said to have the right to execute any non-noble commoner in their respective fiefdoms. To put it bluntly, these Xiong nobles have the right to kill any non-noble commoner in their fiefdom. The laws of Chu do not blame them for this.
But it can't be done in Great Wei, if the descendants of the Ji family of the Yuanyang King family cause a life lawsuit in Yuanyang, unless they cover it up well, otherwise, the criminal department of the six departments of the imperial court will learn about it. I will still ask the Zongfu to intervene and ask the Zongfu to send Zongwei Yulin Jun to arrest the criminals.
Of course, it is unlikely that you will pay your life for your life, but punishment is still inevitable, probably to compensate the corresponding money, and at the same time, the meditation room that was locked up in the sect mansion was contemplated for a while, and when you realized your mistake, you will release it.
I have to say that Da Wei is doing this, instead of looking up to the Chu State, which is already quite a remarkable thing, at least, the law of Da Wei can still bind those descendants surnamed Ji, lest they come nonsense.
But then again, it is actually very rare for the king or his son to be involved in a lawsuit, after all, these kings also want to save face, if something really happens, they will generally find someone under their own hands to cover the bag, and they themselves will not come forward nine times out of ten.
For example, a certain prince of Zheng State, the son surnamed Ji once hunted in the snow with his men in winter, but instead of hitting the prey, the arrow shot shot killed a Wei man by mistake.
No, afterwards, the prince paid a large amount of money for this, and one of the guards under him who took the blame for his highness was also sentenced to several years of hard labor by the criminal department because of this incident, as for whether the last guard really went to serve, it is unknown, and nine times out of ten the prince fished it out with silver.
It can be seen from this that the criminal law of the Great Wei still has a certain binding force on these children surnamed Ji, so that those people surnamed Ji will not be as lawless as the Xiong clan people were in Chu.
In fact, the vast majority of the people surnamed Ji in Wei did not have much rights in Wei State, at most, it was the support of the clan that made them live a rich life: their rights had long been banned.
But the problem is that after those people surnamed Ji handed over their original rights, they were also protected by the Zongfu and the Criminal Department, which was the reason why Zhao Hongrun could not encroach on the feudal land of the former Yang King for no reason.
Outside the gate of the main city of Pingyang, Zongwei Shen Yu handed Zhao Hongrun's greeting to the guards.
"His Royal Highness the King of Su of my family, I have something important to ask to see the King of Yuanyang!"
When the guards guarding the city heard this, they did not dare to be embarrassed, and hurriedly reported the matter to the city.
Perhaps Zhao Hongrun was really unlucky today, so that when the guards reported the matter to the city, Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, was taking a nap, but his son Zhao Chengxiu saw these guards.
"What's the matter, panicking?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, King Su asks to see the prince!"
"King Su?"
Zhao Chengxiu, the prince of Yuanyang Wang, who was pondering where to play today in the mansion, heard this, and a nameless fire seemed to burst out of his eyes. (To be continued.) )
