Chapter 62: Trickery

Fifty cars lined up, each with a bamboo pole or stick, and without exception carrying a pennant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On each pennant, one or two lines of poetry are written in neat official script. Some of the poems are passionate, some are generous, and some are meaningful.

The neighbors were obviously stunned by this scene, and the whispers became less and less.

Zuo Feng was also very happy when he saw this scene.

This trip not only won Zhang Wang's friendship and commitment, but also got the emperor's commendation after going back, which was really worth the trip.

Accompanied by a few attendants, he stepped forward and inspected the contents of the carriage and ox cart one by one, to see if Zhang Forget had any indiscriminate refills.

The amount of the offering is important, but what is more important is whether it is true or false. If it is transported to the palace and a pile of moldy rice and hemp, it is a crime of deception.

Naturally, the emperor would not eat and drink what Zhang forgot to offer, but he, the eunuchs and palace maids, was about to suffer.

I'm really going to poke the basket, and my errand will turn into a funeral.

Ten carts of white pottery, ten carts of cloth, ten carts of turbid wine, ten carts of grain, ten carts of ice.

Zuo Feng watched it from beginning to end, and was speechless in his heart. Zhang Wangzhen is really pretentious, full of fifty cars, which seems to be rich in materials, but in fact, except for the ten cars of white pottery, they are all worthless things.

Cloth, turbid wine, grain, these things add up to only tens of thousands of dollars, and you dare to take them up to make up the numbers?

Ice cubes are unattainable and precious to the common people, but what is it to the palace with ice wells and icemen?

If I hadn't accepted your gift and been gagged by your favor, I really couldn't spare you today.

Seeing Zuo Feng's unswerving face, an attendant said softly: "When I entered the door, the little one saw a lot of fine white ceramics on the ground. But after a closer look just now, none of the ceramics were in the car. In addition, these fifty carts have not a single cart of gold and silver treasures, which seems to be inappropriate. ”

Zuo Feng glanced at the attendant and waved his hand to signal Zhang Forget to step forward.

Zhang Wangxiao walked forward, and before he could speak, he saw Zuo Feng raise his slap and slap the attendant beside him in the face.

The attendant lay on the ground with his face covered, and the five-baht coin in his sleeve that Zhang forgot stuffed into was scattered to the ground.

At first, Zhang Forget thought that the slap was coming at him, and he was startled. Seeing Zuo Feng slap the attendant down, he knew that he was going to act in front of him.

Zuo Feng pointed at the attendant who fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up, and scolded: "I don't know what to do, what the history of the examination order has done, can you question it casually?"

We were ordered to take the things that Shi Jin offered for the examiner, do you think we are here to raid the house? The examination made Shi donate his family property and serve Jun's grace, how loyal and patriotic, you still want to take away his last grain of rice and a thread?

Take the last thing of someone else's stomach to flatter the king, pat your conscience and ask, are you still not human? He has such a big family to support, and he has something to keep for his family every day, shouldn't he? ”

The waiter slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, regretted it a lot, and said humbly: "The villain was blinded by lard, and he thought about it for a while, so please forgive me." ”

Zhang Wangxiao waited for Zuo Feng to finish singing with a white face, and stepped forward to start singing with a white face.

He picked up the attendant from the ground, picked up the scattered copper coins and stuffed them back into his sleeve, and said, "It's all for the king's worries, how can it be right or wrong?" Everyone has something to say! ”

Zuo Feng put on a stinky face and said to Zhang Wang: "These fifty carts are all goods, and there is not a single cart of gold and silver treasures, which seems to be inappropriate." ”

Zhang Forget was also aware of this problem, and turned back to look at Chun Yuyi, who was in charge of the matter, and Chun Yuyi set his eyes on Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu stepped forward and saluted: "Serve the king, how can you not have a share of my Taiwei Mansion?" We, the Taiwei Mansion, are willing to prepare fifty carts of copper coins together with the history of the examination of the Gong Ling, and present them to the king. I have sent a family to go back to pick up the car, please take it with you. ”

A cart of copper coins is about 100,000 pieces, weighing three or four hundred catties, and fifty carts is five million dollars.

Zuo Feng was satisfied with this number and nodded happily, but Zhang Forget was a little unhappy.

Okay, you Yang Xiu, dare to rob Lao Tzu of the monster? This boss is about to be killed, and you come up and touch it and take a share of the credit?

Although Lao Tzu's family is far from five million dollars, a recipe is worth tens of millions, do you need to add icing on the cake?

Yang Xiu saw Zhang Forget looking at him unhappily, and was very aggrieved.

Although you have a lot of things, but you lack gold, silver and copper coins, you can't let the emperor Longyan Dayue, I don't use your money, and I use the money of the Taiwei Mansion to make up for you, why don't you appreciate it? I'm a little selfish in doing this, but it's more for you.

Taiwei Yang Ciren became old and refined, and after listening to the general's report, he immediately saw through the deep meaning of Yang Xiu's move, and he was not embarrassed at all, and directly sent someone to prepare five million copper coins.

Zhang Forget and the others waited for a while, and then they saw fifty carts coming in the distance, and the carts were full of yellow and clear copper coins.

Yang Ci also did not have the consciousness of doing good deeds without leaving a name, and the fifty carts of copper coins were not covered with anything, so they were piled up on the car, dazzling all the way.

Seeing that he could finally go back and pay a beautiful errand, Zuo Feng laughed, walked arm in arm with Zhang Wang, and walked in front of a hundred carts.

Zhang Forget refused to call him a brother at this time, ruined his reputation in front of the literati doctors in the city, and ran to the back of the convoy under the pretext of urgency.

The driving route that Zhang Forgot had arranged for the servants in advance almost circled Luoyang.

Starting from Guangyangmen, all the way to the north, passing through Yongmen, passing by the bustling gold market.

Departing from the Golden City, take a circle around the Dragon Garden, heading east to Taicang and the arsenal.

The arsenal rested for a while, all the way to the south, passing through the East Gate, the Middle East Gate, and the Horse Market, and finally arrived at the Taixue Gate, where they stayed for a while.

Finally, the brigade entered the South Palace of the Imperial City from the Kaiyang Gate.

Zuo Feng didn't understand the deep meaning of Zhang Wang's arrangement at first, but when he just passed through the gold market, the crowd of onlookers had already reached hundreds.

By the time they arrived at the Dragon Garden, the number of people had reached thousands.

When the horses passed the Upper East Gate, where dignitaries and nobles gathered, the horse team moved forward, almost step by step.

Most of the people in Luoyang were attracted by this huge convoy, and countless literati and doctors, who originally disdained to mingle with the peddlers and pawns, couldn't sit still one by one after listening to the servants report a few lines of poems on the pennant.

The humble did not dare to forget the country, and the financial report of the Wanguan family was gentle?

The previous sentence is vigorous and vigorous, showing the mind, and people can't help but sigh. But, what the hell is the latter sentence? Wan Guan's financial report Jun En, his head was kicked by a donkey, you still think the emperor didn't loot enough, right?

The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, good verses! Such a wonderful sentence is used to dissect his loyalty and patriotism, the best, why was it thought of by Zhang Wang, this kid?

If the country lives and dies for profit, how can it be avoided because of blessings and misfortunes! What poetry, what poetry! Is it Zhang Wangzuo again? It's a pity, it's a pity, the good cabbage is arched by pigs.

Just seek the eternal country, not for the wealth of the courtiers? This poem is too fake, too fake, thousands of miles to be an official only for money, not for the wealth of courtiers, and to be a fart official.

The literati doctor recited the popular poems upside down, and they were all intoxicated.

Some dignitaries heard the news, but they were so hateful that they opened the long case and smashed the teapot.

One step late! One step late! A good deal with tens of millions of dollars a year, but before Lao Tzu had time to start, you actually donated it all in one go? Zhang Wang, Zhang Wang, you really deserve to die!

When the convoy finally passed through Taixue, countless students came out to watch the excitement despite the hot weather.

They are not cunning politicians, nor are they literati doctors who only love to play with the wind and the moon, they are ambitious scholars and enthusiastic young people.

Zhang Wang's seemingly lofty and loyal and patriotic behavior is simply too much for their appetite.

It's as if Ban Dingyuan threw his pen from Rong and sealed the marquis for thousands of miles. It's like the famous general Chen Tang Shangshu "Those who offend me as a strong man, although they are far away, will be punished", how can it not make people impassioned, how can it not make people's blood boil?

The students were boiling, they were so emotional that they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and they gathered around the side of the convoy, chanting the patriotic poems of loyalty and monarchy on the pennant.

One to ten, ten to hundred, the sound of chanting more and more, more and more high, when the convoy to the gate of the South Palace, thousands of people's impassioned patriotic voice shook the world, straight into the sky.

Emperor Liu Hong and the ten permanent attendants, who were anxiously waiting in the South Palace, thought that there had been a civil unrest at first, and they were all panicked, but after hearing the poems clearly, they laughed loudly one by one.

Liu Hong frolicked naked with more than a dozen naked palace maids, and finally took a sip of wine, fell on the hill made of ice cubes, looked up to the sky and laughed: "The people's hearts are available, the people's hearts are available." ”
