That night, after the Zhao family returned to the palace, they enjoyed the moonlight on the terrace of the palace.
β¦β¦
At this moment in Shu, on the night of August 15, in the Chengdu Imperial Palace of Shu, Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, invited the ministers of the court and the central government to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace.
Below Meng Chang sat many ministers, headed by Prime Minister Li Hao on the left, and privy envoy Wang Zhaoyuan on the right.
Although Li Hao has a grudge with Wang Zhaoyuan, he did not have any festivals on the surface, nor did he tear his face, so at this moment the two of them were smiling and groaning, and the two of them said together: "On the occasion of today's festival, the ministers wish Your Majesty a happy festival, and the people will be happy, and I wish my Great Shu Country a smooth wind and rain, and a bumper harvest and sufficient grain." β
Then Meng Chang raised the wine glass in his hand, "Zhuqing, today is the August 15th Festival, everyone has fun together." β
Baiguan also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, after Li Hao and Wang Zhaoyuan left the palace, they met the two political enemies at the gate of the palace.
"Li Xiang, what has happened recently that makes Li Xiang so happy?" Wang Zhaoyuan hated him to the bone since he knew that the person who was impeached was Li Hao, but he always had a smile on his face when he saw it.
"Haha, Wang Shuxiang, I have lived for most of my life now, and now there is a very human minister, it should be a time of worry, how can I get a spring breeze." Li Hao pointed to Sang and scolded Huai, meaning that this person was Wang Zhaoyuan.
Wang Zhaoyuan had already understood from Li Hao's mouth that he was talking about himself, but he still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't notice the changes in his heart.
"Li Xiang, I don't know how His Majesty will deal with the recent fire in the Ordnance Supervisor?" Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly mentioned the fire in the ordnance prison.
At this time, Li Hao's face changed slightly, but it returned to normal in a moment.
"I don't know what Your Majesty will do with it, the old decay is expected to be something that Song Guo will do."
"Li Xiang is really discerning, just like Di Renjie is alive."
Li Hao can remind: "I think Your Majesty should investigate this matter, Wang Shuxiang should now care about his own situation, it is said that this privy council is in charge of the armor and weapons of Shu, and the cardinal minister must manage it well, if it loses some, it will be a big disaster." β
One night, the secret agents of Changchun Hall threw Wang Zhaoyuan's sale of weapons and armor to Wu Yueguo's room in the form of a note, and Li Hao accidentally got the news, and he couldn't stop laughing all night.
Wang Zhaoyuan learned about this matter from Li Hao's mouth, and his heart jumped, how did this old man know about his own affairs, could it be that there were spies around him.
Damn, whether there are spies around him, or the so-called businessman of Wu Yueguo is a man sent by Li Hao, Wang Zhaoyuan is suspicious in his heart.
At this time, he said angrily: "This matter of the Privy Council in charge of weapons will not bother Li Xiang. β
"That's good."
β¦β¦
The two said goodbye on the street, then got into a sedan chair and went back to their homes.
Wang Zhaoyuan became more and more unconfident, suspicious in his heart, and he hurriedly ordered someone to call Li Jin, the secretary of the military department, to his mansion.
As soon as Li Jin heard that Prime Minister Wang had something to discuss tonight, he hurriedly asked people to carry a sedan chair to the palace.
Li Jin entered the secret room as promised, and when he saw that Wang Zhaoyuan was silent, he hurriedly said: "Prime minister, it's late at night, why did you summon the officials to come." β
"You sit down first." Wang Zhaoyuan said lightly.
Li Jin suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly became colder, and Wang Zhaoyuan still had a faint expression.
"What's the matter with the cardinal? Is it the matter of Li Lao Pifu? β
"Old Man Li reminded me of the armor and weapons today, but how did he know about this matter?" Wang Zhaoyuan asked suspiciously, and then stared at Li Jin with his eyes deliberately.
Li Jin was stunned by Wang Zhaoyuan's sudden eyes, and he hurriedly explained: "Prime minister, this matter is not a secret told by the lower officials, please believe me." β
"It's not that I don't believe you, only you and I know about this matter, except for you, it is the Wuyue businessman you brought." After Wang Zhaoyuan finished speaking, he said again: "By the way, where is the businessman you brought now?" β
"On the day of the Prime Minister, I saw that the merchant surnamed Zhang had left Chengdu and went south with the ship."
Li Jin deliberately asked people to follow Zhang Hui from a distance that day, for fear that something would go wrong, but ......
"Hmm! Who else but you? Could it be that there is a fine work sent by the old horseman in my house? β
"Maybe that's the case with the Prime Minister."
"Well, that makes sense." Wang Zhaoyuan's suspicious appearance, maybe it is really as Li Jin said, there are detailed works in his house, if this is the case, he Wang Zhaoyuan is the first to check whether there are fine works in the house.
"You go down first, remember to keep your mouth shut, if it is really you who spread it, I will definitely not spare your life."
Li Jin listened to Wang Zhaoyuan's words and immediately swore: "Xiaguan Li Jin swears to heaven that I, Li Jin, will not betray the prime minister." β
"Well, you go first."
Li Jin was relieved and immediately got up to bid farewell to Wang Zhaoyuan.
After Li Jin left, Wang Zhaoyuan still sat there alone and sat there until midnight before going to sleep.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, after Wang Zhaoyuan got up, he immediately instructed his henchmen, and then questioned and interrogated the people in the house one by one, and then searched for a long time but did not find any suspicious people.
Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't find out who it was for the time being, but after this investigation, it made many servants and maids in the house suffer a lot, and these people had a grudge against Wang Zhaoyuan over the years, but they just buried their resentment in their hearts.
Wang Zhaoyuan was in the courtyard at the moment, checking the people in the mansion, and at this time, the little servant Wang Cunli trotted in all the way, and said breathlessly: "Master, master, His Royal Highness the Prince has come down." β
"What? Your Highness is here, help me change my clothes, these servants and maids let them go down first. β
"Yes, what are you still doing in a daze, go down to work."
Wang Cunli hurriedly went to the room, took clothes to help Wang Zhaoyuan change them, and then rushed to the hall to meet the prince of Shu.
Wang Zhaoyuan arched his hand and said: "Weichen Wang Zhaoyuan has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. β
The person who came was Meng Xuanzhe, the prince of Shu, and he smiled and said: "Wang Shuxiang doesn't have to be polite, today Gu Nai is a micro-service visit, but I heard that there is a copy of Wang Youjun (Wang Xizhi) in Wang Shuxiang's house, so I came to take a look." β
"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that there is calligraphy of Wang Youjun in Weichen's mansion, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited Weichen's study."
Wang Zhaoyuan led the way in front and arrived at the study in an instant.
Meng Xuanzhe saw that Wang Zhaoyuan's study was more exquisite and elegant than his own study, and the provenance revealed the temperament of a literati, Wang Zhaoyuan was just a person in the market, and he didn't know anything about poetry and songs, but he had such a study, and he also had the calligraphy of the book saint Wang Xizhi, it was really ......
Although Meng Xuanzhe was unhappy in his heart, Wang Zhaoyuan was a celebrity next to his father after all, and he didn't want to offend him, so he still smiled on his face, but he smiled a little reluctantly.
Wang Zhaoyuan ordered someone to bring a ladder, and then the two of them went up to the top of the attic.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the book of the right army of the king."
Meng Xuanzhe saw that this was indeed Wang Xizhi's "October 5th Post" and "October 7th Post", he flipped through it, and then couldn't put it down, I really hope this poster is his own.
Wang Zhaoyuan is not familiar with poetry and songs, he suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has been intelligent since childhood, was named the king of Qin at the age of fourteen, and is good at writing books, and tasted the stones carved by Yao Chongkou from the book. He felt that now was an opportunity to slap in touch with His Royal Highness the Prince, and he immediately said: "Your Highness, Weichen's poetry is not comprehensible, and the calligraphy of this Wang Youjun is still given to His Royal Highness the Prince." β
When Meng Xuanzhe heard that Wang Zhaoyuan was secretly scolding him, he said modestly: "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, so let's keep this poster." β
When Wang Zhaoyuan heard the urgency, he immediately rolled the book back, and then respectfully dedicated it to Meng Xuanzhe, Meng Xuanzhe wanted to push it, but this is Wang Xizhi's book, Meng Xuanzhe deserves it, and he happily accepted it.
Wang Zhaoyuan saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accepted it, and the spring breeze was yì.
Meng Xuanzhe stayed in the palace for a while, and then when he went back, he went back with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in both hands.
"Master, that's your favorite book!" The little servant Wang Cunli said regretfully.
"Cunli, you don't understand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of my Great Shu Kingdom, and he will be the king of a country in Shu Kingdom in the future, I am expressing my heart to him in advance. And the prince loves calligraphy, if Wang Xizhi's calligraphy can buy him, this transaction is still worth it. β
"Hmm!" Wang Cunli nodded after listening.
β¦β¦
At this moment, on the border of the Song and Han dynasties, the Han ** team went south again to invade the Song Dynasty, Ding Hai, and Wang Quanbin attacked Leping County of the Han State and surrendered to it.
Xin Mao, Zhao Kuangyin took Leping County as the Ping Jin army, and reduced 1,800 people to serve the soldiers and gave money and silk.
