Chapter 603: Empty into Beijing

Zhao Yan stood anxiously in front of the main gate of Tokyo City, looking into the distance of the official road from time to time, until he saw a cloud of dust on the official road, and then a team of people and horses quickly walked towards this side, Zhao Yan showed an excited expression, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites behind him also began to prepare for the matter.

I saw a young and handsome man in the opposite team taking the lead, although it was very different from the previous dress, but Zhao Yan recognized the person at a glance, and the people who followed him closely were probably some high-level officials of the Rakshasa Army, except for some accompanying Song officials.

For the matter of the empty request attached, Zhao Shu finally agreed to the empty request after a period of consideration, especially under the persuasion of Zhao Yan, and after understanding the mind of Princess Bao'an, so in order to show his sincerity, he led a group of subordinates to wait for the reward of the Great Song Dynasty, as for the matter between him and Princess Bao'an, now except for a few people such as Zhao Shu and Zhao Yan who know, everyone else is unaware, and naturally there is no way to object, but Zhao Shu intends to directly announce that Princess Bao'an will marry when the reward is empty. At that time, it will definitely arouse the opposition of many officials, but as the so-called Jun has no jokes, plus Kong has changed his name to Xu Yuan, and the fact that he used to be a monk will not be spread for a while, so Zhao Shu is going to use this method to catch everyone off guard, and when they know Kong's identity, they are already in a boat, and they can't change it if they want to.

Zhao Yan was also very impressed by Zhao Shu's method, and had to say "Jiang is still old and spicy", of course, this is also the reason why Zhao Yan persuaded Zhao Shu, because as Zhao Shu, it is too convenient to do some tricks. However, Zhao Yan was also arrested by Zhao Shu to do things today, because he was about to go to the capital, in order to show his attention to Kong. So Zhao Shu sent Zhao Yan to greet the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Yan was also very willing to do so, firstly, he and the empty had not seen each other for several years, and secondly, Princess Bao'an told him to make sure to take a look at the empty for her, speaking of which, although the two of them often corresponded, they could not meet after all. So now there are countless things to say, but unfortunately it is inconvenient for her to see her now.

Seeing Zhao Yan coming to greet him in person, he was also very happy at the moment, and wanted to take a few steps to catch up with Zhao Yan, but he suddenly woke up at this time, his current identity is Xu Yuan and not empty, if he is too familiar with Zhao Yan, it may arouse the suspicion of some people, after all, there are many officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to greet Zhao Yan behind him.

Come to think of it. Zhao Yan also knew that he was going to pretend to meet with the empty for the first time, so after patiently waiting for the official to introduce him, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Leader Xu is polite, I didn't expect the leader to be so young, it really surprised the king!" ”

"Grass man Xu Yuan visits the king of the county!" At this time, he also stepped forward and walked a few steps. In the past, he was a monk, but he didn't have to pay a vulgar salute to Zhao Yan. However, although he is now the leader of the Rakshasa Army, he has not yet been rewarded, so he is still a grass man in the Great Song Dynasty, and he naturally wants to salute when he sees Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan also hurriedly helped the empty air up, and then pretended to be polite and said a few words, because there were too many people around. It made it inconvenient for them to say a lot of words, so Zhao Yan quickly asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to welcome the empty welcome into the city, and arranged to rest in the post house, speaking of which, the strength of the empty Xiangzai was no worse than that of the Great Song Dynasty, so the Ministry of Rites treated him according to the specifications of the king of the subject country. When entering the city, it also attracted a lot of onlookers, and it is unknown whether anyone recognized the former monk.

After arranging the empty accommodation, Zhao Yan wanted to find a chat in private, but he didn't expect the Ministry of Rites to arrange a grand reception banquet, Zhao Yan, as the main receptionist, naturally had to participate, but at the banquet, he and the empty were staring at each other, although he had a stomach to say, but he could only say some scenes dryly.

finally waited until the banquet was over, but it was almost midnight, and at this time, the two of them secretly talked together again, maybe it would make others misunderstand something, so Zhao Yan had no choice but to return home, planning to visit the next day.

It's just that after Zhao Yan returned home, he encountered Princess Bao'an's criticism, because Princess Bao'an was too concerned about Kong, and waited until late at night to hear what Zhao Yan heard, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to go back to rest with satisfaction except for suing him that he had no hair and looked more handsome than before, which made Princess Bao'an also very dissatisfied, until Zhao Yan endured sleepiness and painted her a portrait of Kong's present, which made Princess Bao'an go back to rest contentedly.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru were also asleep, but they didn't expect Princess Bao'an to break in, and as a result, Yan Yuru was ashamed to burrow into the quilt and didn't dare to show her head, Zhao Yan also smiled bitterly, but unfortunately Princess Bao'an didn't have any embarrassment, but urged Zhao Yan to get up quickly, looking at her anxious appearance, Zhao Yan was wondering if the princess Bao'an in front of her was pretending to be Princess Shoukang? Because Princess Bao'an is usually very steady, only Princess Shoukang would make such a reckless move.

Zhao Yan, who didn't care about eating breakfast, was kicked out of the house by the second sister, and walked in a horse-drawn carriage on the relatively calm streets of Tokyo, planning to buy some steamed buns to eat at a roadside stall, but I thought that some time ago there was a merchant selling breakfast in Tokyo City who used rotten meat to make steamed buns, and as a result, many people got food poisoning, and one of the frail old men died because of it, as a result, the merchant was sentenced to hanging, and he also had to take out half of the family property to compensate the family of the deceased.

Speaking of the Tang and Song dynasties, food safety was still very important, and some illegal food merchants were also punished very severely, such as the Great Song Dynasty law, which clearly stipulates that if you pour water into the meat, you will be sentenced to exile for one year.

It is said that the harsh punishment of the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with the restraint of morality, the general businessmen who do food business should rarely dare to take risks, but in fact it is not the case, the counterfeiting of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty is not less than that of later generations, mainly because some laws have not been implemented, so some merchants will make a lot of black money, although Zhao Yan knew some before, but there is no good way to improve, I can only hope that the Great Song Dynasty can speed up the construction of the rule of law, and implement the strict punishment of the law.

Of course, there are only a few things like the above that eat dead people, but a few don't mean that there are none, and even this matter was reported by the Da Song Daily, Zhao Yan didn't want to die because of a bun, in fact, it was not only him, most of the business on the morning stalls in Da Song during this period was slightly affected, so we can see the bad impact of this incident.

Soon Zhao Yan's carriage came to the outside of the post house where they lived, and then went straight inside to find Kong, and Kong also expected that Zhao Yan would come to visit him, so he also got up early, and was practicing boxing in the yard at this time, and when he heard that Zhao Yan was coming, he didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he directly welcomed Zhao Yan into the living room.

"Huh, I can finally speak freely, yesterday I went back but was complained by the second sister, saying that I don't know anything, but the conscience of heaven and earth, how can I talk to you in that situation yesterday? And before I got up this morning, my second sister broke in, and I was kicked out of the house without even letting me eat breakfast. As soon as Zhao Yangang sat down, he immediately complained to the air, and at the same time indirectly told him that Princess Bao'an missed him.

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, especially Princess Bao'an's concern for herself, this made her empty eyes show a little tenderness, and she didn't pay attention to Zhao Yan's complaints at the moment, but asked with concern: "Princess...... Princess, is she okay? ”

"Don't worry, with my younger brother taking care of you, how can the second sister be bad?" Seeing that he didn't pay attention to himself, Zhao Yan glanced at him at the moment.

"That's good, I really hope to meet the princess soon!" At this time, he glanced affectionately at the direction where Princess Bao'an lived, although he didn't see anything, but his heart seemed to have flown to Princess Bao'an's side, nearly three years of hard work, and finally got this opportunity today, he definitely can't let it go.

Seeing the appearance of empty infatuation, Zhao Yan also felt a little emotion in his heart, his second sister's two-year wait was finally not in vain, he could see that Kong's current infatuation should be true, which also shows that his feelings for his second sister have not changed, which is also what Zhao Yan was most worried about before, after all, everyone will change, especially in different environments, and the thoughts in his heart will also change, but fortunately, Kong is an infatuated person, which makes him finally put his mind at ease.

Zhao Shu had already agreed that only the three of them knew about the matter between Kong and Princess Bao'an, and even in order to keep it secret, Zhao Yan did not write to Kong in advance, for fear that the news would be revealed, and now he could finally sue him, so Zhao Yan smiled at the moment: "It's empty, tell you a happy event in advance, my father has agreed to your marriage with the second sister, and when you enter the palace to listen to the reward, my father will announce it in public, so that it will be too late for others to object." ”

"This ...... It's true? When he heard the good news, Huo Ran also got up, he thought that he would have to overcome a lot of difficulties after entering Beijing to get Zhao Shu to agree to marry Princess Bao'an to him, but he didn't expect that he would be able to hear this good news just after he arrived in the capital.

"Naturally, it's true, in order to let my father agree, the second sister said in front of my father that you will not marry in this life, otherwise the green lantern ancient Buddha will accompany her for a long time, with the second sister's temperament, it is really not easy to say such a thing, you must not disappoint her in the future!" Zhao Yan's expression finally became very solemn. (To be continued......)
