Chapter 256: King Ning (2)
Zhao Dang lost his mother when he was a child, and when he grew up, he became a fierce rival with his eldest son Zhao Heng for the crown prince, and it was inevitable that he would be particularly "cared for" by Queen Li, who was in charge of the harem. In the cold palace, it was not easy to survive until the age of sixteen to open a mansion and build a government, which can be described as a full experience of the warmth and coldness of the world. Since childhood, he has gritted his teeth and worked hard, and developed a resolute and resolute character. Not only was he highly regarded by the emperor who knew how to fight, but also won the heartfelt support of militant generals such as Geng's father and son.
Leave a line in everything, and see you in the future. Yang Zhi didn't dare to underestimate this prince who was a bit genuine, and he didn't want to have anything to do. What's more, if you are serious, isn't this also a cheap brother-in-law? Neither humble nor arrogant welcomed into the front hall and sat down with tea.
Zhao Dang took the lead in speaking: "As the Flying Tiger Marquis said, this king and the Flying Tiger Marquis have been friends for a long time, but today they are like old friends at first sight. Fortunately, fortunately! ”
Yang Zhi said in a decent manner: "Thanks to the prince's promotion, Weichen is terrified. ”
Zhao Dang shook his head and said, "This king has been messing around with those rough men in the army for a long time, and I feel that talking like this is really tiring. I don't have any official duties today, can we talk casually? Can I call Brother Yang? ”
It seems that Zhao Dang's acting skills are not inferior to his emperor's father! Who are you fooling? You are a prince, and you are a front-line commander with hundreds of thousands of heavy troops, and a person who can reach the level of "fighting" with you, no matter how rude he is, he is not a fool, who dares to call you a brother? The seemingly easy-going few words are intended to eliminate the invisible barrier between the two and shorten the distance between each other. admits that he "has no official duties", and does not care at all that the emperor will give him the hat of a "personal minister". Although it is a show, the heat is appropriate, but there is no lack of sincerity.
Yang Zhi replied: "As long as the prince doesn't think I'm rude, I can do it at will." ”
Zhao Dang said with a smile: "I think Brother Yang is not that pedantic and polite person!" I took the liberty to visit today, and Brother Yang must have been a little surprised. As the saying goes, when a night owl enters the house, nothing will come. Then I'll get straight to the point! One is to come to see Brother Yang's demeanor, the second is to come to apologize, and the third is to visit the fourth sister. ”
Zhao Dang said it so briskly and straightforwardly. It was indeed a bit unexpected for Yang Zhi. He shook a shot and said, "The prince is so righteous, how can I afford it?" ”
Zhao Dang smiled: "Brother Yang's martial arts and resourcefulness, I have already learned a thing or two, why be too humble?" I robbed and slaughtered a caravan with the strength of three hundred soldiers who had been through a hundred battles in my own battalion. It was determined that it would be annihilated. If you don't want to not only fail to rob and kill, but most of the 300 dead soldiers will die at your hands. You have been in a bloody battle in the desert several times unscathed, and you are surrounded by a Turkic army ten times your size, not only did you risk your life to lead the troops to break through, but you even dared to sneak to the Turkic court alone to kill Natodu Khan. The father foiled the prince's conspiracy. Without your help, it wouldn't have been as smooth as a devastation. ”
"How? Am I honest enough? Refreshing enough? How can a god-like hero like Brother Yang not make me feel itchy? I can't wait, I just want to see Brother Yang's demeanor! ”
The so-called glimpse of the style, Yang Zhi originally thought that it was just a scene of presenting a few high hats, but he never expected that Zhao Dang's expression was calm and eloquent, and he did not hide it, and everything was straightforward.
Although there are many servants and maids in the front hall, the inner court guards on duty in the Hou Mansion are still there.
Yang Zhixin said I am nothing, are you really not afraid of attracting the unprovoked attack and defense of those high-ranking opponents in the DPRK and China? Are you really not afraid that your emperor father will turn back to find your bad luck? It is true that the crown prince has fallen. But in the future, the emperor's seat may not necessarily be yours. Do you have any fear? Or get carried away? …… Or is it simply a brain in the water?
coughed a few times dryly, and kindly reminded: "Lord Wang, I thank you very much for your honesty, but I still heard it a little ignorantly. ”
Zhao Dang waved his hand indifferently and said, "Brother Yang, since the words have been spoken, there is a section where I also admire you very much. ”
"There are 212 servants and maidservants in your house, and only 17 people have been brought over from the old mansion in Xinyang, and the rest are either rewarded by the palace or given by the princes and dignitaries in the court. The number of guards in the inner court on duty in your mansion was one hundred and twenty at the peak, after the imperial conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty in September last year. It was fixed at seventy-two people, and was directly transferred by the general of the Imperial Guard. I don't need to say more about it, right? Let me say something ugly, your Hou Mansion is about to become a street vegetable market! ”
"What I admire is that Brother Yang not only took everything as ordered. And calmly go your own way. But to say that you are not at all wrong is also false. Otherwise, why did you take the pretext of killing that inner court guard with your own hands a few years ago? ”
Yang Zhi smiled narrowly: "It's hard to see that the prince can feel it so clearly!" Presumably not left behind, right? There is a way to come and give all the guests, and all the gifts are gifts. Since people from all walks of life care so much, why should I live up to the good intentions of others? ”
Zhao Dang nodded and said, "It's rare that Brother Yang is so free and easy!" Since everyone is cheering you on, I'm naturally going to have a fun time too. As for you, you just said that you were ignorant. In my opinion, just because I am here today, it will make many people ignorant, but it is true. ”
"The ancients did not deceive the dark room, they couldn't come and go, what to say and what not to say, I know in my heart. Otherwise, wouldn't I have been a prince for more than ten years in vain? ”
"The second thing I came here today is to apologize to Brother Yang." Clapped his hands gently, Mu Tianlun, who was standing on the side, took out a stack of silver tickets as if he was playing tricks, and bowed down to present it to Yang Zhi.
"On that day, I sent someone to set fire to your Sihai Building in Xinyang, and tied up your old lady and Mrs. Zun. It's all because I looked down on Brother Yang at that time, and even more blamed for my thirst for talent, so I did such a dirty thing. ”
Yang Zhi said in the air: "There are many offenses, I apologize in person today, and I implore Brother Yang to bear with me, and we will reveal it in the future." I also know that Brother Yang is a real person, and I apologized by offering 500,000 taels of silver tickets. I also hope that Brother Yang will give me a face, don't be too little. ”
Since the moment Yang Zhide reported King Ning's visit, his mind has not been idle for a moment. At this time, he had basically sorted out his thoughts and figured out Zhao Dang's intentions.
Playing with a thick stack of "apologies" in his hand, he said with a smile: "The prince is serious." As soon as he made a move, it was 500,000 taels, and the prince was really generous! 500,000 taels will I be too little? Does the prince think I'm an insatiable money-goat? It's just that there is a waste of money from the prince, and I really can't help it! ”
Zhao Dang couldn't help but scold in his heart: Could it be that you are not a money lord? Would you not want to go? You don't want the title deed of the Immortal Residence worth 500,000 taels, you don't want the two boxes of gold full of Guo and Huang, but the silver ticket is not rejected by those who come. Why the fuck don't you just hang a big "cashier ticket only" sign on the gate of the Hou Mansion? Isn't it silver? Lao Tzu has. I'm not afraid that you want it, I'm afraid you don't want it!
"I don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, I have commanded the army for many years, and I am definitely not a poor person. Brother Yang just accepts it with peace of mind. ”
"The third one I came here today was to visit my fourth sister. The father deposed the fourth sister from the palace, which was really well-intentioned. The so-called blood is thicker than water, seriously speaking, Brother Yang and I are already relatives of Uncle Lang. ”
Clapped his hands lightly again, and Mu Tianlun immediately presented a stack of silver tickets again: "I heard that the fourth sister is already pregnant with Liujia, and she is about to give birth soon, so I must be inconvenient to move, so I won't go into the inner house to see her today." These 100,000 taels should be regarded as a little bit of her second brother's heart! ”
Yang Zhi learned from his husband and wife private conversation with Zhao Yan that because they are half-brothers, Zhao Dang and Zhao Dang have been in charge of the army for many years, and it is rare to see the second and third brothers from childhood to adulthood, and in fact, there are not many brother and sister feelings at all. Comparatively speaking, Zhao Yan is much closer to her eldest brother Zhao Heng and fifth brother Zhao Qi emotionally.
However, the twists and turns of the relationship between these brothers and sisters did not prevent Zhao Dang from sending silver, nor did it affect Yang Zhi's receipt of silver. The palm of the hand was patted, and the silver was delivered. If you don't slap your palm today, how can you be considered to know me Yang Zhi?
said with a smile: "The prince has a heart." Then I will thank you as the second uncle in advance on behalf of the child in Yan'er's womb! ”
From the moment he entered the door, it was Zhao Dang who was guiding the topic from beginning to end, and Yang Zhi just hummed and dealt with a few words. The two "hit it off at first sight", the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious, and the silver was also given away. It should be said that Zhao Jinjin's first phase of the task can be successfully completed.
Yang Zhi was silent, and the two were speechless for a while. Seeing that this guy pretended to look up at the sky, he buckled the tea cup with one hand, and there was a sign of serving tea to the guests.
Zhao Dang couldn't help but feel a little angry: Could it be that he spent 600,000 taels of silver and took the initiative to visit you with dignity, just to pretend to be stupid and stunned just to see you? Can't even buy a word from you?
It's all Ding Shiquan's sour and bad idea! Otherwise, how could he have come to the door to suffer such humiliation! Say what you must be "honest with each other", say what 500,000 taels is "apology", 100,000 taels is "heart", look at the scoundrel's face with peace of mind, I'm afraid I won't blink my eyes when I turn my face in the future!
Just like Zhao Dang himself said, if he didn't even have this bit of forbearance and open-mindedness, then his prince for more than ten years had really done it in vain.
Hehe laughed a few times, and unconsciously changed his title: "Today, this king and Brother Yang met late, and they talked very happily. If it's still early today, Brother Yang doesn't want to say something to this king? ”
Yang Zhi was waiting for this sentence, and asked with a smile: "Thanks to the prince's love, I don't know what you want to hear from me?" Please also ask the prince to make it clear. ”
The smile on Zhao Dang's face was already stiff: "What this king wants to hear, Brother Yang naturally knows it." ”
Yang Zhi sighed helplessly: "The prince just thought that he was not a poor person, so I am welcome." There are generally two ways of talking to people, one is free, and the other is for money. There's no way, you get what you pay for, that's what my father taught me since I was a child. I don't know which one the prince wants to hear? (To be continued.) )
