Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Coming Birthday
Zhao Wuji was a little distracted thinking about Situ Yan's birthday before, but the words of the scholar pulled him back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "General Meng is the pillar of my Chu country, he has not returned to Shouyang for so many years, I also want to catch up with him, this little etiquette Zhang Qing's family should not be too concerned." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zao Wou-Ki attaches great importance to etiquette, especially to his children, but he is very tolerant of his courtiers.
The scholar known as Zhang Qing's family is Zhang Xian, the younger brother of Zhang Nian, a famous Confucian in Chu State, and one of the representative forces of Confucianism at the top level of Chu State, and the leader of the Confucian School of Chu to suppress the Mongolian War.
Of course Zao Wou-Ki knew about this, but he kept turning a blind eye, as long as he didn't go too far, he wouldn't say anything, maintaining balance was the way of the emperor.
Seeing that Zhao Wuji was unmoved, Zhang Xian thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, there are 100,000 border troops stationed in Jiuyuan City, and these 100,000 border troops are all the first-class elites of the Chu State, and they are only under the orders of Meng Zhan, and they are even exaggerated to the point that they don't know Your Majesty's name......"
Zhang Xian wanted to continue, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhao Wuji, he just looked at Zhang Xian quietly with a gloomy face: "Zhang Qingjia, don't you think your words today are a little too much?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Wuji was angry, Zhang Xian immediately bowed with a panicked face: "Wechen is guilty, Wechen is just in a hurry, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
Let Chu Guode respect the great Confucian personally bow down and apologize, Zhao Wuji nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about General Meng, I came to you today mainly to discuss the queen's birthday in a few days, what should I do?" ”
Seeing that Zao Wou-Ki was not too angry, Zhang Xian stood up, lowered his head, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, whether it was him, or several ministers here, they all had a delicate mind, just now Zao Wou-Ki did not anger Zhang Xian, nor did he scold him too much to show that he valued Meng Zhan, which shows that Zhao Wou-Ki has listened to Zhang Xian's words, and even has begun to have a trace of suspicion about Meng Zhan in his heart, or rather, he has long been guarding against Meng Zhan in his heart?
Everyone didn't think much about it, their main purpose today was to make Zao Wou-Ki feel sorry for Meng Zhan, and it seemed that the effect was not bad at the moment; As Zao Wou-Ki said, how to handle the queen's birthday is the top priority at present.
……
Wenxiang Pavilion, in the pavilion, Su Heng and Zhao Jinyu sat looking at each other.
Regarding the fact that Su Heng sent a sword slave to kill Zhang Madxiao, Zhao Jinyu immediately felt a bad breath when he learned about it, and applauded repeatedly.
"Your Highness, the queen's birthday will be in three days, what have you thought of to give?" Su Heng picked up the celadon pot in his hand, which was freshly brewed tea, the tea was boiling, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing, filling it up for Zhao Jinyu and himself, and recently he gradually began to be a little obsessed with this fresh and bitter taste.
Zhao Jinyu was ashamed when she heard this: "Sir, I used to have so much money in my hand, and I could only barely maintain my own life, so the queen's birthday has never been there, and besides, I'm afraid no one cares whether I go or not." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Jinyu smiled self-deprecatingly again, her face full of bitterness.
After a few words of persuasion, Su Heng said: "Since His Royal Highness has planned to take this road now, then this time the queen's birthday must go, and I will go to the city later to see if there are any good things that can be bought and sent over." ”
Zhao Jinyu naturally understood what he was referring to, but he still sighed: "The other brothers are wealthy, and the gifts they give each time are either priceless jade and jade or elegant works from famous masters, if I give an ordinary object this time, it won't make people laugh and be generous." ”
Queen Situ Yan, the lord of the harem, is Zao Wou-ki's most beloved and respected woman, followed Zao Wou-Ki when he was not yet on the throne, suffered hardships, suffered wrongs, and has survived until now, the queen has only one son, that is, Zhao Tianlong, the former prince of Dachu, the prince who has a high prestige in both the court and the people, but later died of illness.
After the death of the crown prince, Situ Yan was also like ashes, there was no smile on his face after a serious illness, and Zao Wou-Ki's efforts to please him were in vain, so he would hold it with great fanfare every year on his birthday, in order to untie Situ Yan's heart knot.
Situ is gentle and modest, sincere, knowledgeable, meticulous as an orchid, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red needlework, proficient in everything.
Such a woman, even when Chen Wenxiang was favored by heaven, Zao Wou-Ki never ignored her, and her status in Zao Wou-ki's heart can be imagined; Therefore, this birthday is a must-go.
Su Heng recalled the information he got: "It doesn't matter, the queen's style has always been frugal and simple, and she doesn't care too much about the value of the gift, and the main purpose of going this time is to show her face, so that those ministers in the court can add some impression to His Royal Highness." ”
When Su Heng said this, Zhao Jinyu naturally had no reason to refuse, and nodded: "Okay, then Mr. Lao will go to the people to take a look on my behalf, these **** will continue to go to Guozijian to attract talents, all the hard work." ”
……
The wind is beautiful and the sun is shining.
It was a pleasant and good weather, but a piece of news spread in Shouyang City.
The white-haired swordsman Jin Fengming, who was murderous and had 143 lives on his hands, escaped from the Imperial Tomb Prison, and when he escaped from prison, he also killed more than 20 Imperial Tomb Guards, and for a while, the entire Shouyang City was panicked.
Then, Yan Tiannan, the warden who had not stepped out of the Imperial Mausoleum Prison for ten years, also went out in person to capture Jin Fengming, and it is said that Yan Tiannan also made a military order, if he did not take Jin Fengming within three days, he would give up the post of warden and return to his hometown.
Su Heng and Chen De strolled on Yangchun Street one after the other, looked at the passing palace guards, and immediately asked Chen De to inquire, and also learned the news of Jin Fengming's escape from prison.
Especially when he heard Yan Tiannan's request that Jin Fengming must be taken within three days, otherwise he would return to his hometown, Su Heng vaguely felt that this seemed to be another big net, and the target of the big net was Yan Tiannan.
Does Zao Wou-Ki want to attack Yan Tiannan? From the moment His Royal Highness the Ninth was imprisoned in the Imperial Mausoleum Prison, has all this conspiracy begun?
Su Heng casually browsed through the strange pieces large and small with all kinds of thoughts, and Chen De still followed behind without saying a word.
At the corner, a group of people gathered together attracted his attention, and with curiosity, Su Heng naturally stepped forward to take a look.
