Chapter 281: The Imperial Palace

It didn't take long for the staff to return.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yijian put down the Chinese book in his hand, and his voice was a little dissatisfied.

"Dong Weng!" The staff arched his hand and lowered his voice: "King Wei has sent someone!" ”

"Is it a post?" Lu Yijian asked thoughtfully, his fingers lightly touching the paper, and his mind was a little uneasy.

The staff showed a stupid expression, and replied with some hesitation: "It's not a name, it's a gift!" ”

Lu Yijian was a little surprised and asked, "Oh? What a gift! ”

"A wine glass!" The staff replied, and quickly added: "Made of gold...... It's just that...... Just ......"

"Slurred, what's just!" Lu Yijian also couldn't figure out Zhao Yu's intentions in his heart.

Generally speaking, as a referrer, under normal circumstances, the recommended person will visit Lu Yijian, the recommender. On the one hand, it is to thank the other party for the recommendation, and on the other hand, it is naturally to give gifts and gratitude.

However, Lu Yijian knew that he and Zhao Yu had a contradiction that could not be resolved, and this time he recommended Zhao Yu with unknown thoughts. So Zhao Yu didn't come to see here, and Lu Yijian also expected it. Because of this, the staff came to report that after Zhao Yu returned to Beijing, he didn't even hand him a famous post, and Lu Yijian was not angry.

Now Lu Yijian has to admit that Zhao Yu has successfully aroused his curiosity. "That's it! Stop talking, just grab the gift! The old man wants to see what wine glass is so unique! ”

The staff wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end they went down obediently, and it didn't take long. A tray covered with a red cloth was served. The staff walked to the side with an unnatural face, and there was an unpleasant fear of the tray.

Lu Yijian is so old, what wind and waves have he not seen? There are already a lot of ups and downs alone, and this is the country that has been degraded three times.

"Open it!" Lu Yijian instructed the servant.

"Yes!" The servant made a promise and slowly lifted the red cloth.

Although he had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, Lu Yijian's face at the moment had become unsightly, and his pupils had shrunk into the eye of a needle. I saw a human head on the tray, but it was actually a human head wine glass wrapped in gold.

The craftsman is clearly very skillful, and the human head is made to lifelike, with a dark golden color, like a thin layer of skin, outlining the shape of the skull. In the eye socket, there are two red jade stones, I don't know what kind of jade they are, like blood. Combined with the terrifying skull, it makes people look creepy and terrifying.

"Damn it! Take it away! Get out of the way! Lu Yijian only felt a cool breath gushing out of his spine, and the pores of the cold people were stiff.

The servant hurriedly covered his skull with a red cloth and hurriedly retreated, not even bothering to salute.

"You little bastard!" Lu Yijian's hand under the bookcase clenched tightly into a fist.

After a long while, Lu Yijian took a deep breath and asked with a gloomy face: "Send this gift, that little villain will definitely not be so simple, what else did he say?" ”

The staff swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "The messenger who gave the gift said that this was captured by King Wei Chitose in Anhuaman, and it was a major wine vessel used in Anhuaman every festival. It is said that it originated from a powerful barbarian king, hoping to increase the courage of Dong Weng. ”

"You little bastard!" Lu Yijian swept the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase on the ground, crackling endlessly.

The staff was silent, standing in place, lest they be discovered by Lu Yijian and become an outlet for his anger.

…………

The next day, it was dark.

Zhao Yu held his upper body, stood in the garden and punched, taking a deep breath, as if returning to the past years.

But soon, Zhao Yu already knew that many things were wrong.

He and his sixth brother Song Renzong Zhao Zhen are no longer as close as before, and his biological mother Qian Guifei lives in the harem, and Zhao Yu has repeatedly asked to welcome Qian Guifei to the Weiwang Mansion to live for a long time, but Song Renzong has refused with various excuses.

It's a hostage.

Zhao Yu knew that maybe it was because of this that Song Renzong dared to use himself!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a very ironic feeling, he wanted to laugh and cry, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart.

Xiao Xuanzi stepped forward, put on a white towel for Zhao Yu, and said, "Lord Wang, the weather is cold, don't invade the wind cold." ”

Zhao Yu looked at the little Xuanzi who had grown up with him since he was a child, and sighed: "I've worked hard for you all these years!" ”

"What are you talking about, lord? Isn't that what a slave or maid is supposed to do? Xiao Xuanzi was a little unhappy.

Zhao Yu laughed and didn't reply. I went into the bathroom and took a shower and changed clothes. He still has to enter the palace to face the saint today, but after the early dynasty. This saved Zhao Yu of trouble, otherwise he really went to the early dynasty, and then he would have to set off on the third watch.

Sensei said that the temperature was low at that time, but now it is the time when the snow melts in Bianliang City, and it is really cold outside. It's really a loss to those courtiers, and I have to go to the court at this time.

Although he is strong, he is afraid and has to add a few fox furs, otherwise he will not be able to withstand the weather.

Bathing and changing clothes, Jiao Niang floated in, after last night's moisture, at this moment Jiao Niang has radiant.

"Lord Wang!" Before the person arrived, a delicate voice had already sounded.

Zhao Yu stretched his waist, with a rebellious and resolute look on his face, which made Jiao Niang unable to hold back a moment of distraction. Zhao Yu said: "Jiao Niang, you came just in time, this king is preparing for you to help this king buy a few fox furs, you also know what size!" ”

"Lord Wang, you go with the slave family! It's been a long time since you've been shopping with the slave's house! Jiao Niang said coquettishly, looking at Zhao Yu with a pair of watery eyes, it seems that if you don't agree, I will cry to show you.

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and reassured: "Okay baby, this king really has no choice!" I'll have to go to the face of the saint later, and I don't know when I'll be back. After facing the saint, I have to go to see the two prefects of the Privy Council and the same prefect! ”

Jiao Niang also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she had to put away her little temper, and pouted helplessly: "Okay! But Lord Wang, you really take the time to accompany the slave family! ”

"It's nature!" Zhao Yu said regretfully, and said some love words again, which made Jiao Niang turn her anger into joy and leave with a smile.

"Lord! Early this morning, that Miss Hua came to see again! Xiao Xuanzi looked at the figure of Jiao Niang leaving, and said in a low voice.

Zhao Yu's face froze, and he said helplessly: "Send her away!" That's just a gesture of effort, so she doesn't have to care! ”

Xiao Xuanzi glanced at Zhao Yu and said, "Lord Wang, you don't know something. Miss Hua has a deep affection for the prince, and since the prince saved her, she rented a small courtyard nearby to live. Because they don't receive guests, they don't have enough money and food, so they grow their own vegetables during this time, and the day before yesterday they also slaughtered a chicken, and the nearby chickens and dogs walked. It was also the chef in the house who couldn't see it, so he helped kill it. I don't want Miss Hua to have tears in her eyes, hugging the chicken and crying bitterly, it's really amazing...... I can't laugh or cry! ”

Although this thing sounded ridiculous, Zhao Yu's face was stiff and he was very helpless.

Zhao Yu is not a hard-hearted person, although it is only a few words, it can already be seen that Hua Xiangrong does have a firm feeling for himself.

Sighing softly, Zhao Yu instructed: "You let people send a sum of money over, don't let Jiao Niang know, this king doesn't dare to let her know about being the county lord." ”

Xiao Xuanzi hesitated and said: "Lord Wang, Mrs. Jiao Niang won't say anything if she knows about it, so you don't have to be so scrupulous." ”

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "This king knows, but if he can, this king doesn't want to make Jiao Niang sad." Forget it, don't talk about it, the horses should be ready, let's go to the palace! ”

Although Xiao Xuanzi was still a little puzzled in his heart, since Zhao Yu had said so, he would not ask without interest.

Out of the lobby, when you come to the yard, you can see a horse full of **.

Zhao Yu was a little surprised, and asked the horseman who was leading the horse, "Where is Que Yue Wuqi?" ”

"Lord Wang, coming from a long run, this horse is naturally tired. You have to recuperate, otherwise although the Que Yue Black Horse is a miracle horse, it will inevitably leave a dark disease. The groom explained.

Zhao Yu nodded, got on the white horse and set off. Zhao Yingwu took more than 30 palace guards and servants, and the group went straight to the palace.

The defenders of the city are still acquaintances, Guo Chengyou, the training envoy of the Xiangzhou regiment and the deputy commander of the Longwei army. When Zhao Yu broke into the Baosheng Palace, this guy stopped him, but in the end he gave way. And he is also Zhao Yu's cousin, but he has some friendship.

Guo Chengyou didn't dare to embarrass Zhao Yu, but when he saw Zhao Yu, he felt unhappy for a while. Because he let Zhao Yu go to Baosheng Palace, he was beaten by Song Renzong, otherwise why would he use his relationship with the official family, after four years, what was the official position at the beginning, and what is the official position now?

It's just that Guo Chengyou gave Zhao Yu a look, but Guo Chengyou didn't have the courage, so he had to say a few words of greeting without being salty, and then found an excuse to leave.

Zhao Yu didn't care, and after waiting outside the palace gate for a while, a eunuch came to convey Song Renzong's order.

Song Renzong met Zhao Yu in the Huangyi Palace, which was the place where the Northern Song Dynasty discussed military affairs. However, it seems very serious here, if you meet with ordinary ministers, the problem is that Zhao Yu is still Song Renzong's own brother.

Although he was already prepared in his heart, after listening to the eunuch's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

Let him pass away!

Coming to the Imperial Palace, in addition to Song Renzong, there are six people, namely Prime Minister Zhang Shixun, Deputy Minister Lu Yijian, Privy Council Affairs Xia Shouyun and Yan Shu, Governor Song Zhen, former Prime Minister, current Ministry of Rites Shangshu, Henan Prefecture Governor Song Shou.

Except for Song Shou's official position a little lower, all the people present were the real power figures of the Song Dynasty at this moment.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu is the prince, just to salute Song Renzong, even if it is an old courtier like Zhang Shixun, he just needs to nod!

And Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian, whether they were unwilling or ten thousand unwilling in their hearts, had to bow to Zhao Yu. Who told others to give birth well, to have a father and brother who were emperors? (To be continued.) )
