Chapter 1217: Beautiful Man Zhao Jie
Zhao Deyan's family's convoy is getting closer and closer to Chang'an, the continuous spring rain has stopped, the warm sun is hanging in the sky, and both sides of the road are green farmland, which makes people look at it refreshmently.
Zhao Deyan also looked out of the window with great interest at this time, this is not far from Chang'an, if he remembers correctly, there is a small town in front of him, called Jin'anyi, which is the nearest post station south of Chang'an, people who enter and leave Chang'an will generally take a rest there, and over time, a small town was formed near Anyi, and when he left Chang'an, he also lived there.
At that moment, Zhao Deyan looked up at the sky, it was almost noon at this time, and he also felt a little hungry, if there were no children, he would definitely gnaw some dry food, but because he was worried that the children would not eat well, he asked the team to stop, and then simply made some food in the open space on the side of the road, ready to eat and then hurry, at the current speed, it is estimated that he can rush to Jin'an Yi before dark.
After a while, lunch was ready, Zhao Deyan and Yang personally took care of the two children to eat, although there were servants at home to take care of the children, but the couple attached great importance to this hard-won pair of children, so usually the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation were taken care of by them personally, after all, they were not at ease when handed over to others.
Just when Zhao Deyan had just finished taking care of the two children for dinner, and he was about to eat something, he didn't expect to see a few horses galloping from the direction of near Anyi on the official road, originally he thought that the other party was just a person in a hurry, after all, this is the official road, and the front is Chang'an, so there are many pedestrians on the road, and there are even some messengers who are in a hurry to rush on the road, so the few horses from the other party are not very eye-catching.
However, what Zhao Deyan didn't expect was that the few people who came rushing from the opposite side stopped in front of their convoy, then threw off the saddle and dismounted, and walked straight to them, which made Zhao Deyan also a little surprised, and stood up at the moment to look carefully, but when he saw the person, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he felt that the first person was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember the other party's name for a while.
"This is Zhao Hong, Zhao Thorn Shi's convoy?" I saw that the first person came to Zhao Deyan and their team, and then asked, Zhao Hong is also Zhao Deyan's pseudonym, after all, he used to be undercover in the Turks with his real name, and later the Turks were destroyed, and he held an official position in the court, so he used another pseudonym.
"Yes, it's Zhao Hong below, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......" Zhao Deyan also stepped forward at this time, and at the same time he was also looking at the person in front of him who made him feel a little familiar.
I saw that this person was about twenty years old, tall and handsome, and he turned out to be a very rare beautiful man, such a person would attract people's attention wherever he went, Zhao Deyan was sure that he had definitely seen each other before, but he shouldn't be very familiar, otherwise he would definitely not forget the other party's name.
"In the Zhao Festival of the Duke of Xiakaihua County, he has been serving as the prince's attendant in the East Palace, and he is still the home of Zhao Tingshi!" I saw that the beautiful man in front of him also looked at Zhao Deyan at this time, and then saluted with a smile.
Hearing the name Zhao Jie, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but be stunned, but soon he remembered the identity of the other party, this young Kaihua County Duke is not small, he is the son of Li Shimin's sister Princess Changguang, Princess Changguang and Princess Pingyang are the best friends, but Princess Changguang's life is not good, her ex-husband Zhao Cijing died in battle, so he later married Yang Shidao, and this Zhao Jie in front of him is the eldest son of Princess Changguang and her ex-husband Zhao Cijing.
Zhao Cijing was a famous beautiful man when he was young, and as a result, Princess Changguang fell in love with each other at first sight at the Lantern Festival, Li Yuan also admired Zhao Cijing very much, so he married his daughter to the other party, and Zhao Jie also inherited his father's appearance, and later Zhao Cijing died in battle, and Zhao Jie, as the eldest son, naturally inherited his title, and Li Shimin was also very concerned about this nephew, so that he had accompanied Li Chengqian to study since he was a child, and it can be said that he was the confidant of Li Chengqian's henchmen.
"It turned out to be the county prince of Kaihua, Zhao Hong has lost his welcome, and he hopes that the county prince will forgive his sins!" Zhao Deyan thought of Zhao Jie's background, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute at the moment, although he was also a member of the party, but for Zhao Jie, a royal nobleman with a deep background, he was still a head shorter than himself, after all, he couldn't afford to offend this kind of person.
"Zhao Tingshi is polite, in fact, there are some things I want to talk to Zhao Tingshi about this time, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" I saw Zhao Jie smile again at this time, although he was from an extraordinary background, but when facing Zhao Deyan, he did not have the slightest shelf, and the smile also made people feel close.
However, Zhao Deyan secretly frowned when he heard the other party's words, although he had been in Hongzhou for many years, he was not ignorant of the situation in Chang'an, after all, he usually corresponded with Li Xiu, and naturally knew some things about the court from Li Xiu, especially this Zhao Jie was still from the East Palace, which made him vaguely guess the other party's intention.
Although he knew that this Zhao Jie was not good, Zhao Deyan couldn't refuse directly, so on the surface, he was also very enthusiastic about inviting the other party to a secluded place, and also asked people to bring tea, and the two sat on the ground and chatted while drinking tea.
"Zhao Tingshi, I have long heard that you have made great achievements in Hongzhou, and Your Majesty has wanted to transfer you to Chang'an several times, but you have refused, I don't know what Your Majesty's appointment is to enter Beijing this time?" After chatting a few words, I saw Zhao Jie ask straight to the point, although he was holding a teacup in his hand and making a tea appearance, his eyes were staring at Zhao Deyan's reaction very sharply.
Although the existence of the Feinu Division is not a secret in the court, after all, there are too many unsightly things in this institution, so there are not many people who know about it among the people, and the appointment and dismissal of officials within the Feinu Division are also confidential, for example, Zhao Deyan entered Beijing this time, and not many people know about it, but Zhao Deyan is sure that the Zhao Jie in front of him must know, and now he is just knowingly asking.
"Ahem~, I did receive His Majesty's holy decree when I entered Beijing this time, but I haven't come down for the appointment yet, and I guess I won't know until I enter Beijing to meet Your Majesty!" Zhao Deyan also coughed dryly at this time.
Zhao Deyan didn't lie, although he had already known his appointment from Li Xiu, but Li Shimin's holy decree to return to Chang'an was not written, because appointments and dismissals within the Feinu Division were generally appointed by Li Shimin in person, and they rarely passed the Holy Decree, which also facilitated the emperor's absolute control over the Feinu Division, after all, the draft decree also needed to go through Zhongshu Province.
