Chapter 57. Marriage Events (Part I).

As a confidant of the prince, Liu San'er has only followed the prince for more than a few years, and he doesn't know about the silver concubine back then, but it can also be seen that the prince Tian Yuan cares about this Bao Jiehua very much, and because of this, he was extremely polite to Bao Jiehua, and agreed to Bao Jiehua's request to report on his behalf. [No pop-up novel network]

But Bao Jiehua didn't know this, he only felt that Liu Shankun was friendly and kind, did not despise himself, and was extremely grateful.

However, unconsciously, a pillar of incense time has passed, but Liu Shankun, who went to report, is still nowhere to be seen.

Although it is the prince's palace, it is only a temporary mansion after all, and the area is not large, so long time is enough for people to go in and out four or five times.

And Bao Jiehua, who was still waiting outside the gate, changed his mood from the initial expectation to the current panic.

"Could it be that the prince doesn't want to see me at all?"

"Could it be that the prince's concern for me is just my delusion?"

"If this is the case, now that I am just an eight-grade sesame official, rashly asking to see me, will it be self-defeating and unsuccessful, but it will make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel that I don't know how to advance or retreat, and I will be disgusted?"

Outside the gate of the prince's temporary mansion, Bao Jiehua kept wandering back and forth, and his thoughts were turning.

Bao Jiehua is a smart person, but in this world, whether in the past or in the future, it is often a smart person like him who can think crankily and scare himself.

Just when the hesitation in Bao Jiehua's heart was about to reach the extreme, Liu Shankun finally reappeared.

Ignoring his demeanor, Bao Jiehua hurriedly trotted in front of Liu Shankun and asked, "Guard Liu, is he willing to see me, His Royal Highness?" ”

Looking at the hesitation in Bao Jiehua's expression, Liu Shankun smiled slightly, he could guess the changes in Bao Jiehua's mood during this time, but he was not perfunctory, just nodded and said, "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to see you." ”

His goal was finally realized, Bao Jiehua couldn't believe it, and after being stunned for a moment, he finally reacted, bowed deeply to Liu Shankun, and said sincerely: "Thank you Liu Guard, I don't say much about other words, today's feelings, the officials will always remember in my heart."

Although they haven't been together for a long time, Bao Jiehua has already seen that this Liu Shankun has a calm and quiet nature, and does things simply, but he doesn't like to be verbose, so he also said high-sounding and hypocritical words, but his expression was sincere and serious.

Seeing Bao Jiehua, he had regained his reason and demeanor in a moment, and his words and attitudes were full of good feelings, Liu Shankun also secretly praised in his heart, and he did not refuse, but his tone became more polite, and said: "Lord Bao is polite." My friends call me Liu San'er, and Mr. Bao calls me that. ”

Seeing that Liu Shankun was not polite, Bao Jiehua no longer shirked, otherwise he would look hypocritical, and just smiled: "Since this is the case, then the third brother, you don't call me any more Lord Bao, it seems that you are not a child, just an eight-grade sesame official, in the eyes of a prince like you, the third brother, where can you be considered an adult?" Third brother, you will be called by my word 'Liqun' in the future. ”

Liu Shankun smiled, nodded, and didn't say more, just led Bao Jiehua towards the mansion.

Along the way, Bao Jiehua wanted to ask Liu Shankun for some news many times, but he was afraid that this would make him appear sneaky, plus the prince was quite strict, and Liu Shankun didn't like to talk much, so although the two of them were interested in intersecting, they were also silent all the way.

Not long after, Liu Shankun took Bao Jiehua to the door of a study, nodded slightly at Bao Jiehua, and said respectfully to the room: "Your Highness, I brought Master Bao here." ”

"Let him in."

In the study, the voice of Prince Tahara came.

After Liu Shankun made a "please come in" gesture to Bao Jiehua, he stepped aside and just waited outside the door.

After suppressing the tension in his heart and smiling gratefully at Liu Shankun again, Bao Jiehua stepped into the study.

Looking up, I saw that in the depths of the study, Prince Tian Yuan was wearing a python robe, sitting behind the desk, quietly staring at Bao Jiehua's face, although his face was expressionless, but there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Bao Jiehua didn't dare to think about it, walked quickly to the prince Tian Yuan, bowed three times, and said loudly: "Bao Jiehua, the master of Xiaguan Shangyuan City, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince Chitose"

Then, after bowing, Prince Tian Yuan did not respond at all, nor did he let Bao Jiehua get up, and the study was full of silent depression for a while, which made Bao Jiehua feel uneasy again.

And the crown prince Tian Yuan didn't care about Bao Jiehua's thoughts and moods, just looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be the reincarnation of the silver concubine, and his mood was entangled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In fact, as to whether he should meet Bao Jiehua, Prince Tian Yuan has always been hesitant.

This is also the reason why Liu Shankun delayed for so long after he went to report.

It was already inappropriate to lose his demeanor after seeing Bao Jiehua today; After returning home, he had already announced that he would close the door, but he specially met with Bao Jiehua at night, which made people even more suspicious; In addition, Bao Jiehua has a handsome face and is even more feminine......

After such news spreads, how will the officials guess?

Longyang's fetish? Keeping a prostitute? Is yin filthy?

Tahara never dared to underestimate the ability to spread gossip among officialdom.

The gossip and rumors that catch the wind and shadows are not only deeply liked by the ordinary people in the market, but also the sanctimonious officials in the DPRK and the central government, and they will be used by people with good intentions from time to time, which will eventually cause a huge impact.

Reason told Tian Yuan that it was better not to see Bao Jiehua for the time being, and he had already made up his mind, but the ghost sent him to meet him.

………

After a long time, Prince Tian Yuan finally spoke up and said slowly: "Bao Jiehua, raise your head." ”

Bao Jiehua was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more, he just raised his head as the prince ordered, but he didn't dare to look directly at Tian Yuan, and his eyelids drooped.

Staring at the face in front of him, which was similar to the appearance of the silver concubine in his memory, Tian Yuan became more and more disappointed, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "No, no, you are not a silver concubine after all......"

In Tian Yuan's memory, Concubine Yin's temperament is Chu Chu's moving depression, which makes people feel protective and pity, but when she smiles occasionally, she is so bright, her eyes are pure and free of impurities, just like a fairy who has been despised in the world.

At least, in Tahara's memory, Concubine Yin was like this, flawless and pure.

In the eyes of a lover, what is lost is always the most beautiful.

And this Bao Jiehua in front of him, not to mention the air of officialdom, his expression is humble with a little flattery, his eyes are too clever and too free, he is obviously a worldly person full of all kinds of **, where is there the slightest shadow of the silver concubine back then?

God is nothing more than a formality.

With a hint of anticipation, Tahara asked, "You...... What month were you born? ”

Bao Jiehua was stunned again, not knowing why the prince asked him this question, but he still replied respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xia Guan was born in June. ”

Hearing Bao Jiehua's answer, Tian Yuan was finally completely disappointed, sighed, and secretly thought in his heart: "The theory of reincarnation is really too illusory to be believed. When the silver concubine was given to commit suicide, it was already September, and after this Bao Jiehua was born, it was obvious that this Bao Jiehua and the silver concubine looked similar, just by accident. ”

Thinking like this, Prince Tian Yuan has lost interest in Bao Jiehua, but because of this, his expression has returned to his usual grace and dignity.

Seeing that Bao Jiehua was still kneeling, looking worried, Tian Yuan raised his hand and said, "But it is this prince who has lost his temper, don't blame Lord Bao, get up." ”

Although Tian Yuan's words were polite, Bao Jiehua always felt a sense of alienation compared with before. But he didn't dare to think about it, just got up and said: "The lower officials don't dare, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are kind to others, and you are very concerned about the lower officials, how can the lower officials dare to blame?" ”

Tian Yuan ignored his compliments, and just asked lightly: "I don't know why Lord Bao came this time and asked to see Prince Ben late at night?" ”

Bao Jiehua saw that Tian Yuan went straight to the topic, although he was surprised, but he also reacted very quickly, he actually knelt down again, took out a fold from his sleeve, and bowed his head and said: "Xiaguan Bao Jiehua, sue Shangyuancheng for guarding Liu Xingzhi, ignoring the emperor's grace, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, forming a party for personal gain, and taking away people's merits, and asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to judge."

As he spoke, Bao Jiehua walked on his knees and presented the piece in front of Prince Tahara.

Tian Yuan was slightly stunned, but he still took the chapter, opened it and read it, but saw that how Liu Xingzhi stole Bao Jiehua's exploits, how he suppressed dissidents, and how he formed a party in Shangyuan City these days was clearly written, and there was a lot of empirical evidence.

It can be said that this letter, even if it can't defeat Liu Xingzhi for a while—after all, Liu Xingzhi only helped Xiao Mo defeat the coalition of all tribes in the grassland not long ago—it is enough to make Liu Xingzhi and those cronies under him unable to turn over for a few years.

This is okay, what surprised Tian Yuan even more was that although Bao Jiehua sued Liu Xingzhi in this memo, he faintly involved Liu Xingzhi's various crimes on Xiao Mo's body, although he didn't say it explicitly, but anyone who reads this memora will feel that Liu Xingzhi's actions are all because of Xiao Mo's instructions.

After reading the recital, Tahara glanced at Bao Jiehua again, and a look of thought flashed in his eyes.

Now that Xiao Mo is in the limelight, anyone can guess that he is not far from the feudal marquis. But this Bao Jiehua dared to sue Liu Xingzhi, who had already worshiped under Xiao Mo's door, in front of Tian Yuan at this time, and faintly pointed the finger at Xiao Mo, if he was not stunned, he had already guessed Tian Yuan's idea of dealing with Xiao Mo.

Obviously, this Bao Jiehua is a smart person, not a stunned man.

But Tian Yuan's idea of dealing with Xiao Mo, even if he was close to him, rarely knew about it, although he had vaguely revealed it in front of Liu Xingzhi before, but Liu Xingzhi would not reveal the slightest thing to Bao Jiehua......

In this case, this Bao Jiehua can guess Tian Yuan's thoughts, and he can only be attributed to his intelligence and sharpness.

Looking at Bao Jiehua's recital, it is also clear and irrecognizable, and the kung fu is even more remarkable.

"Although this Bao Jiehua is not the reincarnation of Concubine Yin, he is also a rare talent."

Thinking of this, Tian Yuan nodded, put away the chapter, and said to Bao Jiehua: "Get up, this kind of thing, since this prince knows, he will definitely make decisions for you...... Well, in a few days, after I have inspected the northern states, you will return to Beijing with this prince. ”

As for how Bao Jiehua guessed what he was thinking in his heart, Tian Yuan didn't ask much, and the lower officials figured out what they wanted, which has been there since ancient times, and each has its own way, even if Tian Yuan asked, Bao Jiehua would never tell the truth. So Tian Yuan didn't ask too much, as long as he knew that the person in front of him was useful to him, then it would be fine.

And after hearing Prince Tian Yuan's instructions, Bao Jiehua was even more overjoyed, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince"

He knew that even if he was under the prince's door, his future would naturally be promising.

In fact, the reason why Bao Jiehua dared to point the finger at Xiao Mo was also to take a risk, he was not very sure whether the prince Tian Yuan really had the idea of dealing with Xiao Mo, but Bao Jiehua knew that because the Son of Heaven was alive, Tian Yuan had been the prince for more than 20 years. With today's physical condition, even if Tian Yuan ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that he will be more than forty years old, and he is almost an old man.

And Bao Jiehua looked through the history books and found that since ancient times, all the older sons of heaven have an extremely strong desire to control power.

was established early as the identity of the Son of Heaven in the future, but because the son is alive today, he has been suppressed, suspected, and calculated for decades.

Therefore, Bao Jiehua is gambling, betting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him does not want Xiao Mo, the future auxiliary minister, to have too much power.

Clearly, he was right.

…………

After Bao Jiehua got up, Tian Yuan asked him a lot about the government affairs and current situation of Shangyuan City, and felt that this Bao Jiehua had a sharp mind, a clear mind, and was good at figuring out his thoughts, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Bao Jiehua in his heart, and felt that this Bao Jiehua may not be worse than that Xiao Mo Zhang Yansheng, but he could focus on cultivating in the future.

Before he knew it, it was getting late, and seeing the tiredness on Tian Yuan's face, Bao Jiehua got up and said goodbye with interest.

But the crown prince Tian Yuan didn't keep it, but just told him not to spread today's events, and to keep an eye on Liu Xingzhi's clouds.

However, just when Bao Jiehua had just retreated to the door and was about to leave, Tian Yuan suddenly remembered something and suddenly asked Bao Jiehua: "You...... Are there any relatives now? ”

Bao Jiehua was slightly stunned, but still replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiaguan's parents have been mourned since he was a child, and he is just dependent on his sister. ”

Prince Tahara's body shook slightly, and he forced the smoothest voice, as if he was just chatting, and continued to ask, "Oh? Do you have a sister? Permission to be made? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, my sister is fifteen years old this year, and she was promised to the children of the Xu family in her hometown a year ago, and she will marry after a year."

Tian Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter unconsciously, and after waving his hand to let Bao Jiehua retreat, he looked out the window, stunned and didn't know what to think.

I don't know how long it took, but Tahara called, "San'er, come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Shankun had already flashed into the study, bowed down and asked, "What do you command, prince?" ”

"That Bao Jiehua is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, right? I'm going to reuse him, you personally go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to help me check his past...... Also, there is a Xu family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who married Bao Jiehua's sister a few years ago...... You find them, give them some benefits, and let them give their kisses back. This matter is done, and the prince will reward you heavily. ”

Liu Shankun nodded yes and retreated, but he had vaguely guessed in his heart the reason why the prince cared about Bao Jiehua.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just when Tian Yuan was calculating Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, who was far away in the capital, still didn't know it.

Xiao Mo came from an ordinary background, although he has been in the officialdom for more than a year, but for various reasons, until the first battle of Shangyuan City, he did not have any basic power, and it was also due to chance that he could accept a group of civil and military officials in Shangyuan City.

At that time, the barbarians invaded, and the people in Shangyuan City were panicked, but all the officials who had a little way to go backstage found a reason to run away, and the people who stayed behind were officials who had no backstage. After the end of the war, these officials defeated the barbarians with Xiao Mo, made outstanding achievements, and were protected by Xiao Mo, so they were naturally under Xiao Mo's sect.

These people, coupled with the captured officials that Xiao Mo rescued from the grassland barbarians, were the cornerstone and foundation of Xiao Mo's future power. Among them, Shangyuan City's civil and military affairs are the foundation of the foundation.

These people worship under Xiao Mo's door because they see Xiao Mo's promising future, seeking support, and with their efforts to save the country, they will all have a great future in the future, and it is also what Xiao Mo needs, and they are all regarded by Xiao Mo as his cronies in the future.

But Xiao Mo didn't know that an inconspicuous petty official in Shangyuan City, in order to take refuge with the crown prince, had already sued all the civil and military officers of Shangyuan City who had taken refuge in him, from Liu Xingzhi down.

This matter, once it is properly used, Xiao Mo's unformed forces may be greatly damaged.

Of course, even if Xiao Mo knew about this, he probably wouldn't be able to take care of it.

Because, Xiao Mo, who is now in the capital, is busy dealing with another more important matter.

That is, his marriage is a big event.
