Chapter 49: The Son of Heaven's Close Minister
This night, the candlelight in Shen Kuo's study was lit all night, and Shen Kuo sorted out two parts of what Zhang Huan said, on the one hand, he wanted to write a secret fold for the emperor, and the other was the matter he did first on Yan Yan Road.
Shen Kuo, who gave the emperor's secret fold, carefully considered it, wrote it for two hours, scrapped a few drafts, and finally decided it.
In the early hours of the morning, Shen Kuo squinted for more than an hour, and when he got up in the morning, his eyes were still a little red, and he immediately sent his confidant Liu Ziyu on business.
Yang Yuansun is a horse bearer on the Yan Road, and the deputy attendants in the palace all know his background, and the people who can be sent here to serve as a horse on the border all the way are people who are extremely trusted by the official Zhao Qi.
Yang Yuansun's dispatch is to supervise the military and political affairs of Dunyan Road, and even the smuggling matters of Dunyan Road can be secretly handed over to the officials' family, to say that things are very busy, but there is no real power, only secret music.
This period of Yang Yuansun is no longer busy with the smuggling matters of the major families, but the situation of the army of Yan Yanlu, he does not dare to slack off, born in the palace, well aware of the temperament of the official family, at this time the official family must be working hard every day, restlessly waiting for the news of the summer.
Therefore, Yang Yuansun also kept going to the Economic Strategy Division every day to inquire about the latest battle report.
He had just finished breakfast this morning, and before he arrived at the Economic Strategy Division, his subordinates reported that Liu Ziyu asked to see him.
Yang Yuansun couldn't help but be surprised, Liu Ziyu was on business in the Economic Strategy Division, he saw it almost every day, how did he come here.
Yang Yuansun met Liu Ziyu in the study,
"Yang Zhuma, this is the secret fold that my lord gave to the official family, I hope that the lord will send it to the capital as soon as possible,"
As soon as the greetings were finished, Liu Ziyu immediately whispered, and at the same time handed a letter to Yang Yuansun.
Yang Yuansun laughed,
"Shen Zhizhou finally knows that he only has one person to rely on now, that is, the current official family, there is no place for Shen Zhizhou among the scholars,"
Since he took office, Shen Kuo and him have been separated from each other, clearly clearing up suspicions and distancing themselves from the palace, who is this for, it is for all the governors in Beijing, showing that he Shen Kuo is still a member of the scholars, not a retainer of the Son of Heaven,
Yang Yuansun scoffed at this, and Shen Kuo still thought that the idea of easing with these people one day and surviving the crisis was too naïve and ridiculous.
He thought that Shen Kuo, who was known as a capable official, couldn't turn a corner, because this person was a famous speculator, but he never stepped on the point, as the old saying goes.
I didn't expect to receive a secret letter from him to Banzai today, what does it mean, it shows that this Shen Zhizhou has realized and knows that he has only one way to go as a retainer of the Son of Heaven.
"Why is it so urgent?"
Shen Kuo is not in a hurry, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he must be stable at this time.
"It's about the lives of tens of thousands of people in the army, and the lower officials thank you,"
Liu Ziyu stood up and bowed and thanked him.
Yang Yuansun was stunned, he didn't expect that Liu Ziyu, a scholar with official status, could give him the so-called right eunuch to thank him, what was wrong with this.
As soon as the morning light brightened in the morning, Zhang Huan got up, Qiu Tao dressed him, and then took care of his hair, until now Qiu Tao saw Zhang Huan's sturdy body still blushing and heartbeating,
"Childe, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the water on the ground has frozen this morning, so don't go out to walk your horses,"
Qiu Tao persuaded him not to go out in the cold while tying his hair, and her now pounding heart finally calmed down.
"It's not about walking horses, it's about practicing archery,"
Zhang Huan knew her kindness in his heart, but in the troubled times in the northwest, what he practiced every day was life-saving skills, and the life-saving guy must not be wasted.
Zhang Huan rode out of the west gate on horseback, went straight to the warehouse, and walked two hundred steps to the warehouse, only to see Luo Yunniang, Shan Cheng, and Teng Tie standing on the side of the road, and saw Zhang Huan galloping from a distance, Luo Yunniang stretched out his hand to stop it,
When Zhang Huan stopped in front of them, Luo Yunniang handed over a bowl of steaming soy milk,
"Childe, please drink this cup,"
The last time I drank soy milk was a long time ago, Zhang Huan couldn't help but miss it, his mouth was full of relish, he didn't say a word and took the porcelain bowl and drank it all, cough cough, it's too hard to drink.
Seeing the twitching look on Zhang Huan's face, Luo Yunniang couldn't help but panic, she wanted to thank this benevolent father, but she didn't expect Zhang Huan to dislike soy milk, you must know that these soy milk are reluctant to drink on weekdays, if there is any excess for those babies to drink, it is very precious.
Luo Yunniang's eyes darkened.
"Yun Niang, why don't you add sugar to your soy milk?"
Zhang Huan is willing to drink soy milk, but some people like unsweetened soy milk very much, but Zhang Huan can't do it, and he finally swallows it forcibly.
"So Childe is willing to drink soy milk with frosting,"
Luo Yunniang's eyes rejuvenated.
"Of course, a bowl of soy milk every morning, my favorite,"
Zhang Huan laughed.
"Then tomorrow's concubine will be prepared as a son,"
Luo Yunniang said according to the courtesy.
'Sister, that frosting is expensive,'
Teng Tie on the side interjected, Zhang Huan found that there was something wrong with the EQ of this product, with a strong black physique, he hated it no matter how he spoke, frosting is expensive, but is it expensive to have something he sent, it can't be compared.
The reason why he said this is that he really likes to drink sweetened soy milk, which reminds him of the memories of later generations, which is a kind of mixed thoughts, and then Luo Yunniang has to have a way to return the favor, but as a result, this product spoiled the atmosphere with one sentence, Zhang Huan had the urge to get off the horse and kick him, either too hard, or his feet were a little itchy, and this product was a little underwhelmed.
snapped, Luo Yunniang slapped him on the forehead, this guy rubbed his head and didn't say much,
"Do you know how much Childe has done for us?"
Luo Yunniang turned to look at Zhang Huan,
"Don't blame Childe, he's just so reckless,"
"I don't have to blame him, but I like him to be outspoken,"
Zhang Huan said with a smile, this is really not to comfort Luo Yunniang, but such a person is easier to control, unlike some wilted gourds, and it is troublesome to not know what to think in the stomach.
The two exchanged a few words, Han Zhifeng hit his horse and left, Teng Tie kept looking back at the smoke and dust raised by Zhang Huan and his horse,
"Tengtie is a good cart,"
Shan Cheng shouted dissatisfiedly,
"I'll just look at this war horse, Zhang Gongzi is really majestic riding on it,"
Teng Tie's face was full of envy.
Li Fu Study,
"Eldest Prince, I found out that these perfumes and clothes soap were obtained by Feng Xiaohe from a student named Zhang Huan,"
Steward Li reported.
"Zhang Huan, why is this name so familiar?"
Li Ang thought for a moment.
"Eldest prince, this person is a student of Yanxi Academy...
As soon as Steward Li said this, Li Ang suddenly remembered,
"Oh, it turned out to be that archery matchless Zhang Huan, I've heard of it,"
Maybe the martial artists of Yan Yan Road are not interested in what Shen Kuo's examination school, it is all the work of scholars, but it is necessary to master the unparalleled archery, this is the heroic spectrum of the martial artists of Yan Yan Road.
"You go on to say,"
'Eldest prince, it is precisely because all these objects are made by Zhang Huan that Feng Xiaohe specially gave Zhang Huan a mansion with a doorman, a maidservant, and a carriage. ’
Hearing Steward Li say this, Li Ang sneered,
"It's not small, a woman, sooner or later, she is under the Chenghuan man, and she doesn't know what to toss all day,"
"This woman should not be underestimated, the Feng family has a lot to do with her over the years,"
Li Ang raised his hand,
"My son knows, it's just that the Feng family's own family is still a little powerful, and then it's just close to the one in Shen Xianggong's family, hehe, Shen Xianggong is the Xianggong of flowing water, and the Feng family's family has some connections, but it is still a businessman's house, and it is not a climate,"
At this time, Li Ang was quite angry, in his opinion, although their Li family was a relatively unfashionable martial artist, but it was also a family of officialdom, and a merchant like the Feng family was incomparable.
"Well, in this way, Steward Li, you and Zhang Huan go to meet, hehe, find a way to let him hand over the perfume and clothes and soap to our Yidexing to sell, well, we can bid more than the Feng family, if he wants to open his mouth, tell him that Yidexing is the façade of my Li family and the transfer envoy Li Ji, let him know and be more interesting,"
Li Ang sneered.
"Yes, yes, the little one will go to prepare for the ceremony."
Steward Li hurriedly retired.
