Chapter 503 Meet Concubine Liu

In fact, Zhao Yougong's will to leave Beijing had already been issued, but Zhao Yougong did not go to the palace to participate in the court meeting on the grounds of the wedding.

On the seventh day of the third month of the fourth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Yougong packed up and rode to the palace. Today's court meeting, it doesn't hurt to listen to it, and when he enters the palace, I don't know if it's a coincidence, Yang Jian actually sent Yang Lian to receive him. As soon as he saw Yang Lian, Zhao Yougong laughed in his heart, the old eunuch Yang probably couldn't have dreamed that his nephew had taken refuge in the Qin Palace, right? As Yang Lian walked across the small bridge and saw that there was no one around, Zhao Yougong said in a low voice, "Is there anything going on in the palace recently?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, what's the matter, it's nothing more than Gao Yu and others who want His Highness to leave Beijing as soon as possible and send troops to Qizhou, now there are more than 3,000 Dingguo troops stationed in Bianliang City, and the officials and ministers are very worried!"

What Yang Lian said, Zhao Yougong had already thought of it, if Zhao Ji didn't look forward to him leaving early, it would be strange. After walking for a while, Yang Lian seemed to remember something, he slowed down his pace, and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "Your Highness, this time has not yet come, Concubine Liu has come to find the little one?" ”

"What is she looking for from you?" Zhao Yougong wondered very much, could it be that this woman is starting to be restless again?

Yang Lian smiled bitterly, "Concubine Liu gave the little one some money, and asked the little one to secretly invite His Royal Highness to the Buwu Hall!" ”

Buwu Hall? Zhao Yougong knew this place, which was located in the northwest of the palace, was a place for the officials of the past dynasties to practice martial arts, and in this generation, Emperor Huizong had no interest in practicing martial arts at all, so it was deserted, and there was usually no person, which could be regarded as a cold palace than the cold palace. It's not impossible to meet Concubine Liu. Then he looked at Yang Lian. Asked with a frown. "Did she see who you are?"

"There shouldn't be, she wants to know the relationship between the little one and His Royal Highness, so she doesn't have to spend money, she must think that the little one has just entered the palace, so it's easy to buy, right?"

"Hehe, that's good, you go back and give her a reply, and the king will go to see her later." Oh. By the way, Uncle Zhang has already transferred troops to the Daimyo's Mansion, why haven't you left yet? ”

"This" Yang Lian was a little embarrassed, he looked at Zhao Yougong's face, and after seeing that Zhao Yougong didn't see joy or anger, he arched his hand and said, "The official family asked the little one to go north with His Highness, so he could monitor His Highness along the way." ”

Listening to Yang Lian's words, Zhao Yougong was stunned and asked Yang Lian to monitor the Dingguo Army. Zhao Guan's family is really good at finding people, isn't this a reason for his son to spy on Lao Tzu?

Soon came to the front of the main hall. Wen Wu stood on both sides, and Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Kai sat in front of Wen Chen. In the Song Dynasty, above the court meeting, some civil and military nobles were gifted and could sit and listen to the court. Zhao Yougong, as the king of Qin, also had a great victory in Wuzhou City and a great achievement in recapturing Yinzhou City, so he was also rewarded and ranked first among the military ministers. Of course, it is also helpless to do this, Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai are both sitting and listening to the court, let Zhao Yougong stand and listen to the court, can he be happy?

[Author: Regarding the number of court ceremonies, it is necessary for Shaochuan to explain that before the Ming Dynasty, there was no kneeling at the court meeting, and the courtiers saw the emperor in front of them, and they mostly bowed their hands. The last dynasty did not kneel and knock three times and nine knocks, most of them stood in the court, and sometimes they would sit and deliberate, but they should not be affected by TV dramas. As for the bowing of the upper dynasty, as well as the kneeling and bowing, it arose from the Yuan Dynasty, and after the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and the Ming Dynasty was revived, some old rules were also continued. Some titles are more worthy of study, especially Miss, this title in the Song Dynasty refers specifically to Qinglou women, if you call any little lady Miss, it is good not to be scolded. As for the title of grandfather, there are very few in the Song Dynasty, most of them are said by Ah Gong, and there is no grandfather, and the Ming Dynasty in later generations has a grandfather, and the word Ye will not appear alone, it is generally an honorific title, for example, if an official surnamed Wu, he will be called Taiye, or Wu Ye. Calling Ye alone started from the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which contains many servile thoughts, such as the most common is to kneel down and shout: "Master, look at it, the slave will do it." ”】

After taking his seat, Zhao Yougong began to close his eyes and recuperate, originally thought that the first thing in the court was when His Royal Highness the King of Qin would get out, but he didn't think that the first one to stand up and play was not to say this, but it was Yang Bangyi, the Chengxuanlang of the Hanlin Academy. Listen carefully, it turns out that the water potential of the Yellow River has risen sharply this year, and if it rains heavily, there is a great danger of bursting the embankment, so Yang Bangyi went to the imperial court to dredge the river to protect the people on both sides of the river. To put it bluntly, Yang Bangyi is here to ask for money.

Dredging the river should have been a matter for the benefit of the country and the people, but it was unanimously opposed by Cai Jing and others, on the grounds that now the army has exterminated the thieves and the military expenditure is very huge, so how can there be spare money to dredge the river? Regardless of whether Cai Jing and the others' reasons are true or not, in short, Zhao Yougong feels that it is really not appropriate to reject Yang Bangyi so hastily, compared to suppressing bandits, dredging the river cannot be relaxed. Once the Yellow River is flooded, there are many victims, there is no way to continue eating and drinking, and there is no guarantee of life, so there will be another group of anti-thieves immediately? At that time, the old thieves in front of them will not be extinguished, and new thieves will emerge. In today's situation, even if the imperial court is really short of money, it should grit its teeth and think of pooling money to dredge the river.

Of course, Yang Bangyi is also arguing on the basis of reason, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, along the Yellow River, there are many people, especially in the east of Hebei Hedong, thousands of miles of fertile soil, if the flood is flooded, there must be countless victims, at that time, the victims are slightly instigated, it may become a chaotic people, this matter has to be prevented, and please try your best to send the ministers to the east of the river, combing the river, in case of accidents." ”

Wang Hao snorted coldly, and sneered without yin or yang, "Lord Yang, just because of your words, you have to allocate a huge amount of money to dredge the river?" Do you know how much it costs to dredge the Yellow River in Hedong? Now that officials in Hedong and other places in Hebei Province have not written about the river issue, how can you be a Beijing official who knows better than them? ”

This Yang Bangyi was a little bold, and he was not afraid of Wang Huang, and argued a few more words, but in the end, Zhao Ji fought Yang Bangyi's performance back on the grounds that the matter was urgent. Seeing Yang Bangyi's lonely retreat, Zhao Yougong sighed, it was really ridiculous that such a good strategy could not be supported.

The matter of dredging the river is put on hold for the time being, and then it is the turn of King Zhao Xiaojun, and the old eunuch Yang holds a copy of the fold and reads it out in a serious manner. After listening to a phone call, it was actually one thing, and Zhao Yougong, the king of Qin, was specially appointed as the envoy of Jingdong Road. He was solely responsible for the suppression of bandits in the Northland. on this. Zhao Yougong didn't have any excuses. Anyway, everything that needs to be done has been done, and it's time to leave Bianliang.

As soon as the hour arrived, the court meeting was over, Zhao Yougong left the hall, walked to the no-man's corner, carried light skills, and quietly came to the Buwu Hall in the northwest of the palace. Usually, the Buwu Hall is except for those eunuchs who come to clean up. No one will come, not to mention that those eunuchs will not come back now, so Zhao Yougong has nothing to worry about, and directly pushed the door and walked in. The Buwu Hall is the place where the emperor practiced martial arts, and there are swords, guns, swords, halberds, sticks, copper hammers, and eighteen kinds of weapons in the room. What's even more rare is that there are still a lot of wooden people and sandbags in the house, which is a good place to practice martial arts, but it's a pity to see these things are new and bright. Especially the long-handled phoenix mouth knife, which didn't even open the blade. Hey, now Zhao Guanjia only understands poetry and poetry, and does not understand martial arts, this good place is a waste.

The Buwu Hall is divided into two rooms, the outer hall is a martial arts training ground, and the inner hall is a place to rest and change clothes, Zhao Yougong walked towards the inner hall, and before entering the door, he already smelled a smell of perfume. Hehe, this woman came so early.

Concubine Liu stood quietly in the hall, wearing a loose pink gauze shirt, her right hand was not raised, looking at a portrait of Huo Quai's expedition to the west desert on the wall. The gauze shirt worn by Concubine Liu, I don't know what it is, it is somewhat transparent, standing behind, you can vaguely see the tender white soft flesh under the clothes, although you haven't seen Concubine Liu's face yet, but Zhao Yougong has to praise it, this woman knows how to tempt men very well.

"I heard you want to see the king?" Suddenly, a voice sounded, startling little Concubine Liu, she turned around, although there was reproach in her watery eyes, but there was more flattery.

For more than three years, Concubine Liu has not changed at all, her bewitching appearance is the same as back then, and her watery eyes are naturally charming. The woman Zhao Yougong met was born with charming bones, except for Concubine Liu, there was only a jade toad slave. Of course, Pan Niangzi is also half.

Xiao Concubine Liu had slender hands, patted her chest, and after a long sigh of relief, she took two slow steps and bowed slightly. I don't know if it's intentional, her body is lowered very low, and the loose gauze shirt trembles slightly, and the white ravine can be clearly seen. Zhao Yougong looked at it almost uncontrollably, because he found that Concubine Liu was not wearing a bandeau.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for many years, but your style is even more in the past, no wonder Mrs. Zhu can fall in love with you, it's a slave family, and it's also heartbeat!"

Zhao Yougong had already learned about Concubine Liu's ability to charm people, and he didn't bother to bother with her, sitting on the cushion, Zhao Yougong sneered, "Okay, my Concubine Liu, let's talk about it, you are looking for this king, not to catch up with the past, right?" ”

Zhao Yougong is so calm, Concubine Liu is a little surprised, how many men are not flustered when they see her, or the official family is also fascinated, today she has exhausted all her strength, but she can't charm this man in the slightest chaos. Frowning lightly, a pair of peach blossom eyes full of spring love turned around, she knelt on another cushion, put her hands in front of her knees, looking dignified, but there was this kind of unique swing.

"Why is Your Highness so ruthless, can't the slave family catch up with Your Highness?"

"Of course you can, but this king doesn't think we have anything to catch up with, right?" Zhao Yougong glanced at Concubine Liu sarcastically, and at this time he also muttered in his heart, what does this woman want to do?

Zhao Yougong can say that he doesn't give any affection to Concubine Liu, which makes Concubine Liu very depressed, but she has no affection in the past, so she should say a few more words with her, is it possible that after many years, her Liu Xinyuan's charm has decreased so much?

"Your Highness, you have a strong army in your hands and sit in Guanzhong, you must have great ambitions, right? Don't you think you have everything now, but one person is missing? ”

"Oh? I still hope that Concubine Liu will advise, who is lacking in this king? Zhao Yougong stared at Concubine Liu with great interest, and asked lightly, "Could it be that this king lacks Concubine Liu?" ”

"Giggles" Xiao Concubine Liu laughed twice, her crisp breasts trembled slightly, covering her small mouth, as if there were thousands of romances, "Hmph, Your Highness is really smart, isn't Your Highness lacking?" Now His Royal Highness controls the world, but there is always one less henchman in this palace, and the slave family thinks that he is not stupid, so he should be able to help His Highness do something, right? ”

Zhao Yougong somewhat admired Concubine Liu's mind, if it weren't for Yang Lian's eyeliner, he really needed Concubine Liu urgently. But it doesn't hurt to have a little more Concubine Liu, besides, it's okay to act, "Well, what Concubine Liu said is not bad, but you do things for this king, what's the benefit to you?" ”

"Of course there are benefits, Your Highness values love and righteousness, as long as the slave family helps His Highness do things, His Highness will not treat the slave family badly. Moreover, the slave family is somewhat of an identity, and if you stay in the palace, you can say something for Your Highness! ”

Having said this, Zhao Yougong understands the mind of Concubine Liu a little, this Concubine Liu is borrowing external forces to strengthen herself, to put it in layman's terms, it is to tie the knot inside and outside and stabilize her position in the palace. It seems that after Zhu Niangzi got it out last time, Concubine Liu was really a little afraid of being thrown into the cold palace again. Make friends with foreign ministers, with power, the status can be more secure, and simply entertaining people with Israel is not what others want? (To be continued......)
