For Zhao Ji, this year is the happiest year in his life.

Because, his Genyue was finally completed, and his long-cherished wish for many years was fulfilled.

You must know that in order to build Genyue, he stirred up the entire land south of the Yangtze River, led to a peasant rebellion that swept through the fifty-two counties of six states, and almost dug up the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally had to give up halfway.

However, this year, it only took him two or three months to complete the rest of the work, and it did not hurt the people at all, but provided a lot of jobs for the victims in the western part of Beijing.

All of this is due to Zhao Hao.

Just after Zhao Hao raided Cheng Jie's family three months ago, Gen Yue quietly resumed work. The so-called silence means that Zhao Ji did not use the treasury at all, not a single money or grain, and it was all out of his own pocket.

Zhao Hao spent almost no money from the treasury during the disaster relief in western Beijing, and originally allocated 500,000 yuan from the national treasury for disaster relief before he left, and finally returned 1 million yuan. Not only that, but also sent Zhao Ji 15 million yuan of money and food, rare treasures, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings.

In two and a half months, it cost six million yuan of money and food, which is not a huge cost, but it only cost less than forty percent of Zhao Hao's pocket money to Zhao Ji.

Jieting, the peak of Mount Gen.

A group of figures slowly followed the white marble stairs and ascended to the pavilion, it was Zhao Ji with Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao and Yang Jian, as well as a group of eunuchs.

Zhao Ji wore a crown on his head, his big sleeves fluttering, Shi Shiran stood on the third floor of the attic of Jieting, looking down on the entire Genyue, and a deep sense of satisfaction arose.

In the whole garden, the buildings are pavilions, pavilions and halls; The mountains are Gangfu caves, rock cliffs and cliffs; The spring pond is the river gorge stream spring, the waterfall of the continent. There are also trees and grasses, animals and birds, and their victories are difficult to describe.

When you come to the garden, you look around in all directions, if you are at the bottom of the deep rocks in the valley of the heavy mountains and ravines, and you don't know that Tokyo Bianliang is an open and flat land, and what is even more incredible is that it is actually excavated by the people's work committee.

Zhao Ji had a lot of opportunities, and as soon as Xu Bu arrived, he didn't know the glory of sublime wealth and nobility. And Tengshan goes to the gully, the poor deep exploration, the green leaves and buds, the Huage flying majesty, playing with the heart, and the gods are in tune, so they forget the colorful of the world, and there is the ambition of Lingyun, and the end of the coke is also.

Last year, Fang La's rebellion hurt the southeast financial route, and Zhu Mian, who looted money for him, did not know who killed him. Originally, I thought that this Genyue would not be completed until what year and month, but who knew that Zhao Hao went out to relieve a disaster, and it was a major drought, and he actually gave back money with a total value of not less than 20 million yuan.

Zhao Hao was ordered to provide disaster relief not only to solve the famine perfectly, but also to pay tribute to the official family A huge amount of money that has fallen into the city has never been seen in the past.

Zhao Ji looked at the beautiful scenery around Gen Yue, and suddenly asked Liang Shicheng on the side: "My nephew has pacified the thieves, and the class teacher has returned to the court, do you want to come to Beijing soon?" ”

Liang Shicheng replied respectfully: "It's almost there." ”

Zhao Ji's sentence was just an opening remark, Liang Shicheng knew that he didn't mean to ask Zhao Hao's itinerary, but to have another following, so he just answered casually.

Yang Jian and Wang Hao on the side, with complicated looks on their faces, the official asked Zhao Hao about it in front of them, I'm afraid the matter is not so simple.

Zhao Ji nodded and asked, "Why do you appreciate it?" ”

Liang Shicheng was stunned, and then replied: "The more tens of millions of public wealth in Jing'an, there should be no shortage of property; If it is to add an official to the knighthood, it seems to be too urgent; Why don't you reward the treasured things of the official family to show the favor of the official family? ”

Zhao Ji was obviously dissatisfied with Liang Shicheng's answer: "He pit me a jasper Buddha dust, kidnap me a jade chime, what other treasures can be rewarded?" Meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished, what does it mean that it is too urgent to add officials to the knighthood? ”

At this time, I don't know that Liang Shicheng was stunned, even Wang Hao and Yang Jian were stunned: "Jing'an Gong has only been in the office for more than a year, and he has been promoted to the second grade. ”

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said: "Ganluo Twelve Ministers, my nephew is eighteen years old today, but why not worship the second grade?" ”

Yang Jian and Wang Huang finally understood in an instant why Zhao Ji called the two of them over, this was Zhao Ji's promotion of Zhao Hao's official title, ventilating and demonstrating with them in advance, so as to avoid making a joint opposition from hundreds of officials.

Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and Wang Hao glanced at each other, knowing that Zhao Ji had made up his mind and there was no possibility of recovery, so he naturally didn't want to touch his head again, so he had to say in unison: "What the official family said is extremely true!" ”

Zhao Ji's original serious expression gradually eased, his slightly frowning brows relaxed, revealing a knowing smile: "In this case, I will move him to the general of Tejin and Zhenguo, and he will be the prince of Longde County and worship the Zhuguo, how about it?" ”

Zhao Ji clearly spoiled Zhao Hao to the sky, where did the three of them have any opinions.

Everyone followed Zhao Ji to swim in Genyue again, and seeing that the hour was not early, Zhao Ji drove back to the Ninghe Hall of Yanfu Palace.

Wang Hao took the lead in saying goodbye, but Yang Jian stayed alone, bowed to Zhao Ji, and said: "Qiqi official family, the old slave has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Zhao Ji had a puzzled look on his face and said, "Speak!" ”

Yang Jian opened his mouth, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Although the Duke of Longde County has worked hard and made great achievements, he deserves to be rewarded. It's just that it killed nearly 100 people in the western part of Beijing, although it is excusable, but after all, it is more or less chilling for people in the world. Now not only has he not been punished in any way, but he has been promoted to the rank of knight one after another, and the sergeant doctor does not say anything, and his heart is inevitably unconvinced. Hundreds of officials in the court, all of them are private officials, and ministers and scholars with foreign surnames are detrimental to the name of the official family after all. ”

Zhao Ji looked slightly stunned and asked, "According to your words, how should I deal with it?" ”

Yang Jian said cautiously: "Old man Cai is the first of today's recognized scholars. The five sons of the Cai family are talented, gentle and elegant, quite virtuous, and knowledgeable, and they are really the dragon and phoenix among people. Last year, the Cai family proposed to marry Emperor Maode, but gave up because of the young age of Emperor Ji. Now another year has passed, and the emperor has grown up and reached the age of marriage. If you can marry your sons and daughters, the world will know that the official family is also a doctor and a minister with a foreign surname, and you will become a marriage made in heaven, so isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Zhao Ji's expression became solemn, and after thinking for a long time, he finally sighed slightly and said: "The man should get married, the woman should marry, Mao De is not small, although I love this woman very much, after all, I want to marry, so according to your opinion, let my husband come to propose again." ”

Yang Jian was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, and reported the good news to Cai Jing.

****************

In front of Zhao Hao's mansion, the plaque of "Longde County Mansion" has just been replaced, and the five golden characters are particularly dazzling.

The slaves in the Zhao Mansion don't remember how many times the plaque on the house has been replaced, so take the old housekeeper as an example, go out to buy large quantities of goods, and ask someone to send them to the house, and the words are different every one or two months.

For example, three months ago, he said "send it to the Shou'an Hou Mansion", and two months later he said "send it to the Jing'an Mansion", but just a month later, he changed his words to "send it to the Longde County Mansion".

in the back garden.

It was hot for days, and the rain last night fell intermittently all night, and it stopped in the early morning. At this time, the bright sun shines on the trees and flowers that are still condensing the raindrops and dewdrops, and they are bright and dripping.

Zhao Hao lay on a chair in the pavilion, stretched his body tiredly and excitedly, yawned and said, "I've been busy for three months, I'm tired to death, I can finally have a good rest." “”

Wang Xin stood behind him, gently massaging his muscles and neck with sore muscles, did not speak, just quietly looked at his handsome face, and endless love and pity flowed in a pair of inky jade-like eyes.

For Wang Xin, the replacement of the plaque in front of the house was a little joyful at the beginning, but gradually became numb, only when he was by his side was the happiest and happiest moment.

In front of him is a pool of clear water, the lotus leaves on the water are clear and round, a branch and a vine are full and upright, the pink lotus flower that blooms at the beginning of the year, standing in the green leaves and clear water, is delicate and dripping. On the wide and thick lotus leaves, the water droplets rolled, flew down with the wind, and the ripples rippled on the water.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the lotus face on his head, and couldn't help but pinch it gently.

Wang Xin's face turned slightly red, he added force to his hand, and pinched it twice, Zhao Hao smiled, put his hands on his abdomen, and said in a low voice: "It's rare to rest for a few days, I took leave from the official family, and I will stay at home with you these days, and I won't go anywhere." ”

Wang Xin's eyes showed a light of joy and satisfaction, mumbled, looked at no one around, bowed his head, kissed him lightly on the forehead, smiled shyly, and turned his head.

Zhao Hao closed his eyes again and sighed contentedly, the complexity in his heart seemed to have disappeared in this fresh air, and his mood was as clear as water, leaving no trace of dregs. Wang Xin seemed to be able to understand his mood, and also knew that he had really been tired in the past three months, so she glanced at him with pity, and the movements of her hands became gentle.

Zhao Hao closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep peacefully.

At this moment, he forgot his identity as a traverser, and also forgot his identity as the prince of Zhengerpinjun, just an ordinary head of the family, a woman's husband, and the years are quiet......

I don't know how long I slept, Zhao Hao was suddenly awakened by a rush of footsteps.

As soon as I opened my eyes and looked up, I saw Fang Baihua rushing over.

At that moment, Fang Baihua also carefully saw the scene of Luan Feng and Ming in the pavilion and loving each other, and couldn't help but stop, a trace of extremely complicated look flashed in her eyes.

Zhao Hao's face was a little embarrassed, and he motioned to Wang Xin to stop the pinching in his hand, and said loudly: "Come here." ”

Fang Baihua's face was slightly red, and he saluted Zhao Hao and Wang Xin, and then handed a secret letter to Zhao Hao, and said in a low voice: "Secret letter in the palace." ”

After saying that, he didn't look back, and ran away in a puff of smoke, as if a group of wasps were chasing him.

Zhao Hao opened the secret letter suspiciously, took out a piece of letterhead, and the letterhead actually rushed to the face with a burst of dark incense, which made Zhao Hao more and more puzzled.

Slowly unfolding the letterhead, Zhao Hao just glanced at it, and then bounced up from the chair in shock.

There were only five words on the letterhead.

"Brother Hao, save me!"
