"Second prince?" Fan Ruoshui's face was strange.

Fan Peilan hurriedly said: "Look at me, I am so happy that I forgot to tell you these serious things." Ruoshui, don't you know, Yuanzhi is a distinguished guest in the Second Prince's Mansion right now. ”

At that moment, Fan Peilan explained how Shi Wei gained a foothold in Bianjing, how to get acquainted with the second prince and the king of Qi, and how to become a doctor in the pharmacy with his superior medical skills.

Fan Ruoshui was more and more surprised when he heard it, he never expected that in less than half a year after the separation, Shi Wei actually jumped from the Xiaolang who took refuge in the Southern Tang Dynasty to become a man of the year in Bianjing.

With such a drastic change, who can not be surprised?

"Brother Yuanzhi, you are really very human."

A thousand words of admiration, Fan Ruoshui can only express it with a sentence of "extraordinary people".

Regarding Fan Ruoshui's praise, Shi Wei only smiled at it.

Fan Ruoshui said again: "I don't know what Brother Yuanzhi took me to see the second prince, but what is his intention?" ”

Shi Wei pointed to the scroll in his hand and said: "Your strategy of crossing the river on a pontoon bridge, if it is adopted by the Song Dynasty, it will definitely be the killer weapon of Pingnan Tang." Such a miracle, if it is easy to give, what if you make a wedding dress for someone else, so I will take you to see the second prince. ”

"Brother Yuanzhi, you mean, you want me to dedicate this scroll to the second prince." Fan Ruoshui is somewhat enlightened.

Shi Wei shook his head with a smile, Fan Ruoshui still thought a little simply.

He said slowly: "I know the surname of the second prince best, he is not the kind of person who is greedy for merit, I think he will definitely introduce you to the saint in time, you can direct this miracle to the saint, if your majesty appreciates it, your soaring prosperity is not at your fingertips." ”

Fan Ruoshui finally realized Shi Wei's intentions, and couldn't help but admire his foresight even more.

In addition to this calculation, Shi Wei actually has other intentions.

Today's saint has not set up Dezhao as the prince, it is said that he has experienced his meaning, if he can recommend Fan Ruoshui's matter, for the Great Song Dynasty to sweep away the Southern Tang Dynasty and make a contribution, the saint looks at it, maybe he will be happy to set up Dezhao as the prince.

In this way, Fan Ruoshui, his own person, has been favored and appreciated by the saints, and Zhao Dezhao, the head of the family, has to be established as a prince, and Zhao Guangyi's threat to himself has been resolved, isn't it the best of both worlds.

The two of them discussed it at the moment, and Shi Wei asked Lilac to prepare wine and good food, and to catch Fan Ruoshui well.

Although Shi Wei had eaten a lot of wine when he was in the Jin Palace, the reunion with Fan Ruoshui made him undiminished.

The next day, near noon, Shi Wei took Fan Ruoshui to the second prince's mansion.

At this time, the second prince's mansion was already lively, and Dezhao invited a group of literati and ink writers in the mansion to compose poems and lyrics, comparing literary talents.

Because Shi Wei was busy with medical treatment, he had recently missed attending the literary meeting in the Second Prince's Mansion, and at this time, Dezhao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Shi Wei coming.

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly got up to greet the door, and said with a smile: "Yuanzhi, it's rare that you can come today, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you have any beautiful lyrics, quickly take them out and let us read them." ”

The literati and writers on the left and right all knew that Shi Wei was talented in words, and they all agreed.

Shi Wei gestured to Fan Ruoshui behind him with his gaze, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, when you say that your majesty is here today, there is actually an important person to introduce to Your Highness." ”

Zhao Dezhao glanced at Fan Ruoshui, who bowed down, and thought that Shi Wei was just introducing some ordinary talents, so he said: "I don't know who Yuanzhi introduced to me, why don't you introduce it and get to know everyone together." ”

"Your Highness, this matter is very important, I don't know if I can talk to Your Highness alone." Shi Wei's tone was serious, and his demeanor was quite solemn.

If it was an ordinary guest, Zhao Dezhao would never cancel the Wenhui for him, but Shi Wei was very important in his eyes, seeing that he was so solemn and seemed to have confidential matters, Zhao Dezhao dispersed the Wenhui and asked all the talented people to come and say goodbye.

In a moment, in this large library, the building was empty, and only the three of them remained.

Shi Wei then pushed Fan Ruoshui to the front desk and said: "Your Highness, this is Fan Ruoshui, and Xia Guan is a fellow villager, who has been a monk in the Quarry Guangji Temple before, and now he has come thousands of miles to join the Great Song Dynasty, just to get the second prince to see." ”

Hearing that Fan Ruoshui was also from the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao's face suddenly flashed a little surprised, and when he heard that he was actually a monk, he couldn't help but be even more surprised.

"Fan Ruoshui, a grass citizen, has seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Fan Ruoshui bowed forward and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhao Dezhao looked at Fan Ruoshui's eyes, but saw that there was no hair under the brim of this person's hat, and it was indeed a bald monk.

"It turned out to be a monk of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and I am fortunate to be lucky."

Zhao Dezhao responded politely, but he wondered in his heart, what kind of medicine did this Shi Wei sell in the gourd, and why did he recommend a monk to him?

You must know that although he Zhao Dezhao is seeking talents, but those who are seeking are literati and ink writers, what is the use of you introducing a monk, do you want me to discuss Buddhist scriptures with him.

Zhao Dezhao's thoughts, how could he escape Shi Wei's eyes, he immediately explained with a smile: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, Ruoshui became a monk before, but he had to do it as a last resort, he is now still vulgar, and he came to the Great Song Dynasty to present an immortal treasure to His Highness." ”

A monk who is still a layman, far away from his hometown, came thousands of miles away, just to offer treasures to the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao's polite expression immediately dimmed.

"There are a lot of treasures in my house, and as for this treasure, I don't think it's necessary."

Zhao Dezhao was a little unimpressed, obviously he thought that this Fan Ruoshui wanted to "bribe" treasures to his second prince to achieve the purpose of seeking official status.

With such a crooked heart, how can Zhao Dezhao look at it.

Shi Wei's mouth hooked into a sly smile: "Your Highness, this treasure that Fan Ruoshui presented to His Highness is very different from ordinary treasures. ”

"I have seen a lot of rare treasures in the palace, and I think there should be no more strange treasures in the world than those in the Great Song Palace." Zhao Dezhao was still a little disdainful.

Shi Wei glanced at Fan Ruoshui, and Fan Ruoshui understood, so he took out the picture scroll.

Shi Wei held it in both hands and said: "What Fan Ruoshui wants to offer to His Highness is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and I don't know this treasure, so I can't get into His Highness's eyes." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Dezhao's expression changed immediately, and the look of shock between his eyebrows was even more difficult to hide.

He didn't know what Shi Wei meant for a while, but with a suspicious heart, he took the scroll and opened it to take a closer look.

Zhao Dezhao was also a smart man, and in just a moment, he could see Shi Wei's intentions from the scroll.

was originally suspicious on his face, but in the blink of an eye, it was all surprised.

Indescribable surprise.

"Wonderful, this pontoon plan is really a wonderful plan!" Zhao Dezhao said happily, holding the scroll in both hands, he really loved it as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

Shi Wei and Fan Ruoshui looked at each other, and the two smiled.

Shi Wei pointed to the scroll and said: "With this pontoon plan, the lion of my Great Song Dynasty will cross the Yangtze River moat, and it will be as easy as walking on the ground, and it will be easy to sweep away the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time. ”

"It's not just a treasure, it's a divine thing." Zhao Dezhao was overjoyed and excited, and his speech was already a little "incoherent", and he couldn't help asking: "Yuanzhi, this pontoon strategy, but have you come up with it?" ”

Shi Wei shook his head and said, "This picture was actually painted by Ruoshui painstakingly. ”

Fan Ruoshui hurriedly said: "Although the map of this pontoon bridge was drawn by the grass people, this strategy was thought up by Yuanzhi when he was in Jinling. ”

"I just had a whim, and if I hadn't put myself in danger, I wouldn't have been able to draw this picture of the pontoon bridge."

Shi Wei immediately dismissed Fan Ruoshui as a monk, mixed into the Guangjiao Ji Temple by the quarry river, and deceived the Southern Tang army under the cover of the monk's identity, and traveled back and forth to the north and south banks of the Yangtze River several times.

Moreover, Fan Ruoshui considered that if the pontoon bridge was built, there must be solid rope fixations on the north and south banks, so he donated the money given to him by Shi Wei to the Guangji Temple in the name of "Guangzhong Futian", and suggested that the temple presiding over the temple use the money to dig stones into a hole in Niuzhu Mountain near the river in the quarry, and build a stone tower in the cave, and use this stone tower as a fixed object for the Song army to build a pontoon bridge in the future.

Shi Wei did not take the merit on his own, and Fan Ruoshui was unwilling to swallow the merit alone, and the two competed to say that the merit belonged to each other.

Zhao Dezhao said happily: "You don't have to be humble, if your father can use this plan to erect a pontoon bridge to cross the Yangtze River in the south, then you will both contribute to the pacification of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future." ”

Zhao Dezhao's performance was all expected by Shi Wei, and he smiled faintly at the moment, no longer shirking the credit.

The second prince immediately ordered Shi Wei and Fan Ruoshui to be given three hundred taels of silver each, and invited Fan Ruoshui to join his shogunate and serve as his guest.

Shi Wei persuaded again: "Your Highness, if this plan is carried out, you must do drills and many preparations in advance, and the lower officials think that this plan should be presented to Your Majesty as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Dezhao thought so, so he nodded and said, "What you said is good, you two should go to the palace with me to see your father now." ”

Shi Wei's mood suddenly became excited, since he defected to the Great Song Dynasty, what princes, prime ministers, princes and county lords, he has already seen many big people in Bianjing, but only one emperor Zhao Kuangyin has no chance to meet.

Now at the thought of being able to see the dignity of this emperor through the ages, Shi Wei couldn't help but be excited.

Shi Wei is also a person who has seen the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, as for Fan Ruoshui, he has been a "grass people" from beginning to end, and now when he comes to the Great Song Dynasty, he is going to meet the emperor, and his mood is naturally not only excited, but also uneasy.

At that moment, they followed Zhao Dezhao and rode straight to the palace in the carriage of the palace.

I heard that the second prince entered the palace to face the saint, and the eunuch Wang Jien in the palace was busy coming to greet him in person.

When Zhao Dezhao asked where the emperor was, Wang Jien sneered and said: "It's really a coincidence that the Second Highness came down, Your Majesty is now hunting birds in the back garden." ”

Bird hunting?

Shi Wei and Fan Ruoshui glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little surprised.
