Chapter 313: Princess Yilan kept asking
For the Zhang family, it is no surprise to see people coming from the palace.
In other words, before Zhang Twelve returned to Zhang's house, they were still very much looking forward to the Holy Decree, at least they would be excited and excited when they saw the Holy Decree, but the arrival of Zhang Twelve greatly reduced their enthusiasm for the Holy Decree, just like now.
Early in the morning, Lord Wu in the palace appeared in the front hall of the Weiguo Mansion, and everyone knew who he was looking for without asking, so they immediately sent someone to call Zhang Twelve.
Zhang Twelve, who was angry to get up, came to the front hall and greeted Wu De: "Lord Wu, why are you here again today?" Aren't you here to eat? ”
Zhang Twelve was already familiar with Wu De, so he didn't have too many scruples when he spoke, and Wu De didn't care, and said with a smile: "If Zhang County Berken entertains, the old body will naturally not shirk, haha......"
"I don't know what Lord Wu is doing today?"
Just kidding, that's to the point.
"The old body is ordered to take Uncle Zhang into the palace!"
After listening to Wu De, Zhang Twelve raised his eyebrows and said, "Enter the palace?" ”
Looking around, he asked in a low voice with a little thief's eyebrows: "Lord Wu, is it a good thing or a bad thing that Your Majesty recruited me into the palace?" ”
This is not to blame Zhang Twelve's heart, he just pit the prince yesterday, and today he recruited himself into the palace - this has to worry him......
"I guess it's ...... Good thing......"
Wu De thought for a moment and said.
Should...... At last?
The more Zhang Twelve thought about it, the more he felt that a good thing was a good thing, what the hell is this "should be"?
"By the way, Uncle Zhang County, can you take the gold medal that His Majesty gave you last time?"
"Bring it......"
Zhang Twelve didn't know why, he touched his chest, it's indeed there, this is his own artifact, without an artifact, how to pretend?
"I heard that Zhang Xianbo made a lot of money yesterday, and he also brought the silver ticket, right?"
"Bring it......"
The silver ticket was not hot when I collected it myself, so I naturally took it with me......
But how did these two sentences make him feel chilled the more he listens to them, this Nima is let with a gold medal and a silver ticket - isn't he going to rob himself?
Zhang Twelve had a very bad premonition......
I beat my son yesterday, and today I came to the door...... That's not exquisite, is it? There is a kind of heads-up, what kind of ability is it to call parents......
But he just thought about it, where did he dare to say it?
Originally, I was going to invite Wu De to have breakfast, but now Zhang Twelve's mood is not beautiful - forget about the meal, and follow Wu De to the carriage after cleaning up......
…………
I don't know what will be waiting for me next, so Zhang Twelve was not in high spirits along the way, and he was not in the mood to speak.
The carriage soon came to the outside of the palace, Zhang Twelve was already familiar with the car, followed Wu De inside, and arrived at the imperial study.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, Zhang Twelve glanced inside, and found a familiar figure - Princess Yilan wearing a maroon embroidered brocade robe.
At this time, she was sitting in the middle of the pavilion with her face up, looking at the lake with a thin layer of ice, and her expression was a little sad that could not be explained.
Zhang Twelve looked at it and wondered a little, this Princess Yilan seemed to reveal a kind of sentimentality like Lin Daiyu in her bones, every time she saw her, she could feel as if she had something on her mind, but there was no need to kiss her, what were you worried about?
However, this is not something he should worry about, and he remembers what she said to King Xiang, "But he is very greedy for money", so he does not plan to greet her.
He was about to pass outside the gate of the Imperial Garden, but was stopped by Princess Yilan's beautiful voice: "Yes...... Uncle Zhang? ”
Glancing at Wu De, knowing that it seemed impossible to pass without greeting, the two of them took two steps back, then entered the garden through the door, bowed down and said, "Xiaguan (old slave) has seen Princess Yilan!" ”
"Don't be polite......"
After saying this, Princess Yilan stood up, walked up to Zhang Twelve, and said softly: "Congratulations to Uncle Zhang for receiving the reward from his father!" The last time I defeated the three princes of Wu State, the palace didn't have time to thank Zhang Xianbo, I just saw it today, and I want to say thank you to Zhang Xianbo! ”
Seeing Princess Yilan bowing to herself, how could Zhang Twelve dare to bear it?
But he couldn't reach out to stop it, so he could only bend down again, bending a lot lower than Princess Yilan, and this was the end.
When Princess Yilan got up, Zhang Twelve dared to get up, and said with a smile: "The princess is really a bad official!" And the princess didn't have to thank the princess anymore, because His Royal Highness King Xiang had already thanked the princess on behalf of the princess! ”
"Oh? Zhang Xianbo has already met the emperor's brother? ”
"Exactly!"
Saying this, Zhang Twelve was thinking in his heart: I know that I have already known the bad things about people behind my back, right? You're feeling embarrassed now, right? You can have a snack!
But he thought too much, Princess Yilan didn't think anything different from him, but asked, "I heard that Uncle Zhang originally lived in Liangzhou?" ”
"Hmmm......"
These words are about to confuse Zhang Twelve, how did this topic change so quickly?
"Liangzhou ...... Where? Far from it? ”
It seems that this Princess Yilan is really a geographical idiot, and she doesn't even know what she knows as a traverser......
"Back to the princess, Liangzhou is in the west of Jingzhou, which belongs to the extreme west of the Tang Dynasty, and after Liangzhou is the West Liang Kingdom! As for how far it is, even if it's a horse-drawn carriage, it will take about ten days to drive all the way! ”
After listening to Zhang Twelve, Princess Yilan's expression was a little sluggish, it turned out that there was still so far away......
"Is there any difference between Liangzhou and Jingzhou?"
"Of course there is!"
"And what's the difference?"
“…………”
Zhang Twelve had only heard "3,000 questions about the blue cat's naughtyness" and "100,000 whys", but now he can be regarded as having seen "Princess Yilan keeps asking"......
Seeing that Princess Yilan still wanted to ask, Wu De felt that it was time for him to say something, if she continued to ask, God knows how long Emperor Tang would wait!
"Princess, the old slave is ordered to take Uncle Zhang County into the palace today, presumably now His Majesty has gone down to the early court, waiting for Uncle Zhang in the imperial study, if it is delayed any longer......"
Wu De didn't say the latter words, but presumably with Princess Yilan's cleverness, she must be able to understand, right?
Sure enough, after hearing Wu De's words, Princess Yilan suddenly realized, if it wasn't for Emperor Tang's summons, where could he enter the palace just by virtue of his identity as a county uncle?
Then he said: "Okay, then you should go quickly, don't let your father wait in a hurry!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess!"
After speaking, the two of them were turning around to leave, and Princess Yilan spoke again: "Lord Wu, wait a minute, you will send Zhang Xianbo to Suyi Palace, this palace wants to hear him talk about things outside......
…………
Zhang Twelve didn't know what Princess Yilan was trying to do, and he didn't have time to think about it, because now he was standing outside the door of the imperial study.
Wu De came out of it, and then said, "Uncle Zhang, you can come in." ”
Zhang Twelve let out an "oh", and then walked into this familiar place again.
After entering the door, Emperor Tang was still sitting on the chair, and Zhang Twelve wanted to kneel down and salute again - he hated this, but what could he do?
As soon as he made a posture to kneel, he was interrupted by Emperor Tang's voice-
"Excuse me! Come and talk! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
There is no need to kneel when kneeling, but Zhang Twelve still bowed his head to show respect, and he was still thinking in his heart, this is a good beginning!
Raising his head, he found that there was a well-framed calligraphy hanging on the wall behind Emperor Tang, and when he looked at it, his expression was a little wonderful: Isn't this what he wrote in the imperial garden that day......
"Zhang Twelve, you are guilty!"
When Zhang Twelve was immersed in pride, he was pulled back by Emperor Tang's loud shout, and his first reaction when he heard this sentence was: Nima, why is this routine again?
When I first entered the imperial study, Emperor Tang's first sentence was this, why is it still like this now?
Please, can you do something innovative?
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the ministers are guilty of?"
It is impossible to confess guilt......
The main thing is that even if he confesses his guilt, he doesn't know what crime he has committed......
"What is the sin? I ask you, obviously you have privately increased the price of ten taels and one pound of spirits, this is one of them; The second is that you sell 221 catties of spirits alone, why is the silver given to me calculated at the price of 10 taels per catty? Isn't this a crime of deception? ”
Emperor Tang said with a glare.
Oh, no wonder Wu De let himself come over with a silver ticket, it turned out to be for this! It seems that he guessed correctly, this is obviously his son's help from Lao Tzu!
"Your Majesty, the spirits that Weichen sold before were all ten taels per catty, so naturally I have to give it to Your Majesty at a price of ten taels!"
Speaking of reasoning, Zhang Twelve has never been afraid of anyone, at this time he just wants to smile: labor and management are not aimed at anyone, everyone here is rubbish!
"What about the ones that were sold yesterday? Could it be that it is also ten taels and one pounds? Didn't you raise the price privately? ”
Emperor Tang continued to ask.
"Yesterday...... It's really not the price of ten taels and one pound......"
When Emperor Tang heard this, he thought to himself that you had made a mistake, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhang Twelve continue: "But that's not Weichen's decision!" ”
"Didn't you decide it? Could it be that someone else buys your spirits and asks for more money? ”
Emperor Tang said disdainfully.
But he never expected Zhang Twelve to be so shameless, so shameless that he directly agreed with his statement, and said very happily: "Your Majesty is wise, you have guessed this!" ”
“…………”
Emperor Tang only heard Wu De say that the prince went to "smell the fragrance" to ask for spirits, but he didn't get it, but he bought a lot of it at a price of twenty taels and one catties, and the details of how the two bargained are not very clear......
But even if he doesn't know, he will never be stupid enough to believe that a buyer will add money to buy things by himself, not to mention that the buyer is still a prince, although he is just for his own use, but he is not so stupid, right?
"Your Majesty, the person who came to "smell the fragrance" to buy wine yesterday was His Royal Highness the Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw the gold medal that Weichen inadvertently revealed, and guessed that "smelling the fragrance" was inextricably linked with His Majesty, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to propose that the price of the liquor be set at twenty taels and one catties, and Weichen shirked it several times, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too enthusiastic, and Weichen finally had no choice but to reluctantly accept ......"
Zhang Twelve was sure that the prince would not dare to come to Emperor Tang to complain, so he was so fearless in spreading rumors.
After hearing this, the corners of Emperor Tang's mouth twitched, knowing that Zhang Twelve was thick-skinned, but he didn't expect it to be so thick!
His words seemed to be talking about the prince's filial piety to the Tang Emperor, and he did not hesitate to raise the price after knowing that spirits were the Tang Emperor's industry - but when it came out of his mouth, why did it sound so awkward?
Emperor Tang didn't really plan to bother with him about this matter, he originally wanted to scare him, but now that people are not scared, they are still angry with him, it is really not cost-effective!
So he asked, "What about the silver ticket?" ”
Zhang Twelve took out the silver ticket, counted five thousand taels out, looked at it twice, and then reluctantly handed it to Emperor Tang, sighing in his heart: Hey, five thousand taels of silver, just flying......
Got five thousand taels of silver tickets, Emperor Tang was also a little excited, although there was a lot of money in the treasury, but it belonged to the imperial court, although he was the monarch of a country, but he did not have the right to dispose of it privately, but these in his hands really belonged to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional......
…………
Yesterday's "smell the fragrance" came to an end after the silver ticket was given to the Tang Emperor, Zhang Twelve thought that he would have known that you would directly open your mouth and say that you wanted money, and it was really tiring!
"The restaurant was acquired by Yang Ze as a novice?"
"Exactly!"
"I didn't give you 20,000 taels of silver tickets, but why did you buy someone else's restaurant at such a low price?"
Hearing this, Zhang Twelve felt a burst of slander in his heart, is this saving money or wrong for you?
Hey, that's hard to serve!
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't want to, it's really ......"
So Zhang Twelve pushed this matter to Yang Zexin, saying that after Yang Zexin heard that he was buying the restaurant for the Tang Emperor, the duke was selfless and wanted to give the restaurant to himself, but he refused for a while, and finally let Yang Zexin accept 5,000 taels......
The corners of Emperor Tang's mouth twitched when he heard this, if he didn't know the truth of the matter, maybe he really believed it......
Open your mouth, you can't believe it!
"Where's the gold medal I gave you?"
In Emperor Tang's opinion, this kid doesn't matter if he gets into trouble every day, the key is that he still plays his name...... Invisibly, he didn't know how much he wiped his ass, and if the gold medal was not taken back, God knows what else he would do......
"Oh......"
After hearing Wu De's words that he asked him to bring the gold medal in the morning, Zhang Twelve probably guessed this picture, so he was not very surprised, and took out the gold medal and handed it to Emperor Tang, and regretted it in his heart: I would have used it more if I knew it, and I would show the gold medal before slapping my face to scare them, so that they would know the magic weapon on their bodies......
But now it's late, the gold medal is gone, fortunately, I still have a jade medal sent by King Xiang, but I don't know if the effect is good......
After putting away the gold medal, Emperor Tang paced back and forth in the imperial study, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "On the day when the prince held a banquet in the East Palace to invite the three princes of Wu Guo, did you also go?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen was invited by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was a great honor that he did go to the East Palace." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} 》,; Talk about life and find a confidant~
