Chapter Eighty-Four: A Thought
Chapter 84: A Thought
Since they were all cavalry troops and the marching speed was fast, Zhao Ta arrived at the territory of Kaifeng County at noon on the second day, where they were received and led to the station. (Novel.com!) ann.) Zhao Ta did not stay, took the guards to beat the horse into Beijing and returned to the house, a short rest, the rice bowl has not been left behind, the palace has known the news of his return to Beijing, the queen sent someone to announce his entry into the palace, he had to change his clothes and follow the people to the Mingren Hall to meet him.
"Tatar..." Zheng Hongmei's face was haggard, and when she saw her son, she burst into tears before she could say anything, and her hand rubbed her hand on his face.
"Mother!" Zhao Ta screamed, tears rolled in his eyes, and he choked up and couldn't speak.
"Alas, you are so competitive, and finally you have caused trouble, they want to kill you!" It took a long time for Zheng Hongmei to calm down, and she pulled Zhao Ta left and right to sit down next to her.
"Mother, it's not that serious, the son went to the northwest to share his father's worries, realize his long-cherished wish to expand the territory, and also add color to his mother's face!" Zhao Ta raised his sleeves to wipe the tears from Zheng Hongmei's face and said.
"Hehe, expand the territory?!" Zheng Hongmei said with a wry smile, "Since Emperor Shenzong, the northwest has been constantly fighting, spending countless money and food, killing and wounding countless soldiers, but only getting thousands of miles of barren land, the emperor was bewitched by a few of them, just want to make immortal feats, build a hundred years of great cause, and fight intermittently in the northwest for more than ten years, time and time again, the good news has been repeated, but I have not seen an inch of baht money into the palace, but the ancestors have accumulated all the money for several generations, making the treasury empty, and now the ancestral rules have broken the rules of the ancestors to go to the front to wade into danger!" ”
"Mother, don't worry, this time my son went to Dinggong Quangong, destroyed the country of projectiles, took the head of the emperor of the Xia country and gave it to his father as a ball, maybe he can catch a princess of the Xia country and give you a daughter-in-law!" Zhao Ta pretended to laugh and laughed easily, but sighed in his heart that his mother was smarter than his father, and he saw things thoroughly, if his father could listen to a few words, he would not be harmed by being taken to the old nest, and the whole family went to the northeast to eat snow, so that he was frightened from here, and he tried to resolve this disaster, and he didn't have a day of stability, but now his father is intoxicated with his own imagination, you are against him, isn't it a disaster, so Zhao Ta can only quickly lead the topic.
"You will only make your mother happy, and you will also catch a princess of Xia Kingdom as a daughter-in-law, I heard that the people there are all blue-eyed and sharp-nosed, with blonde hair like Wang Zuocheng, and they are scared to death, you must not bring me to see me!" Zheng Hongmei was really amused by Zhao Ta, stretched out her jade finger and pestled him on his forehead and smiled.
"Mother was fooled, the people of Xia Kingdom look no different from us, but the clothes are different, those with blue eyes and yellow hair are such people in the Western Regions, I don't believe that I will catch one for you in the future and take a look!" Zhao Ta explained 'seriously'.
"Hmph, see what you can!" Zheng Hongmei sneered and said, "I sent those palace maids to your mansion, isn't it to your liking, why did you send them all back?" ”
"Oh, mother, my son is not interested in these women, and now he has to travel far away, and he does not know when he will be able to return, and he is afraid that leaving them in the house will delay their youth!" Before Zhao Ta left Beijing, he sent all the singers in the house, and those who went home were entangled, and those who married were given dowries, and the palace maids could not be their own decisions, so they could only be sent back to the palace, but they did not expect to alarm the queen.
"Alas, why don't you understand your mother's mind!" Zheng Hongmei sighed and complained, "The prince also got married last year, and this year he is about to become a father, although your third brother has not married, he has already had a few concubines, only you are alone, how can you make the mother feel at ease!" ”
"Mother, my son is only sixteen this year, he is still young, this matter is not in a hurry, and then say, 'Why should the family be a family if the captives are not destroyed', and it is not too late for the son to destroy the Xia Kingdom and recapture Yanyun and get married!" Zhao Ta said 'arrogantly'.
"Nonsense, those things can be done overnight, it is the duty of the prince to spread the branches, you can't take it as a joke!" Zheng Hongmei saw that her son was not on the road, and scolded with a bluffed face.
"Mother, having said that, where is the right person for a while!" Now the royal family has a population of tens of thousands, and they are about to empty the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are still scattered, but he doesn't dare to say this, so he can only say perfunctory.
"Hmph, you have to hide it from me at this time, don't you already have someone you like!" Zheng Hongmei looked at Zhao Ta and snorted coldly.
"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Ta chuckled in his heart, could it be that his mother knew everything? He asked hurriedly. …,
"You once met a woman in Jiangnan, and you recited poems with her and told each other about your love, but is there such a thing?" Zheng Hongmei said with a smile, with a look like you don't want to hide anything from me.
"It's... There is such a thing, but there is a misunderstanding in it, and my mother should not listen to the rumors of others! Zhao Ta was relieved when he heard it, his mother was talking about Zhu Shuzhen, and it must have been Huang Jingchen's old boy who made his own little report, but he only knew one and didn't know the other, so he coaxed blindly!
"Misunderstanding?!' Huo Ran looked back, but the person was in the lamplight, "The idiot intends to approach Fangze, and the flowers are difficult for people to show", "Nong Mian is fortunate to welcome the flowers, and he is happy to reach out and caress the flower face", "There are flowers that can be folded, I can fold them straight, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches" These are all misunderstandings? The woman gave you a collection of poems and a champa for you, and you accepted them all, and you misunderstood! Zheng Hongmei took out so much 'incriminating evidence' at once, and asked again and again.
"This, this is indeed a misunderstanding, I didn't mean it..."Zhao Ta is stupid, Huang Jingchen, an old man, still claims to be his first confidant, but he sold himself to the bottom of the light, but where did the champa start, he had never seen it?
"Ta'er, since you have this intention, why don't you tell your mother, although you are not a prince, but you are a prince, although she is an official eunuch, she is just a five-grade petty official, are you still afraid that his family will not agree?" Zheng Hongmei looked at her son's stammering appearance, and she was amused in her heart.
"......" Zhao Ta was speechless, not to mention that five products are one product, and compared with their family, it is also a high climb, he knows that the more he explains at this time, the more he can't explain, so he simply lowered his head, didn't say anything, and pretended to be a dead dog!
"I heard that the little lady of the Zhu family, she looks as beautiful as a flower, she is also gentle and virtuous, and she can recite poems, and she is also famous in Jiangnan, and she has also read her poems, and she is indeed good..." ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Ta's brain was already wooden, and he snorted inertly.
"Okay, I said that you would be willing, I have already informed your father of this matter, and he also agreed, and has ordered Zhu Mian to be the matchmaker and say it for you!" Zheng Hongmei said to herself, but she didn't see her son's expression, "The emperor has already decreed that Zhu Yannian will be the doctor of Tongzheng and the uncle of Fan Yang, and he has been transferred to Beijing with his family to serve as the head of the household, and after you get married, you will be rewarded separately!" ”
"Tatar, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Hongmei said that she was happy, Huo Ran looked back, but saw that her son was already lying on the ground, his eyes were rolling, his mouth was foaming, his legs were twitching, and he only had no breath in...
That night, there was news in the palace that when Prince Yan was meeting the queen, he suddenly went crazy, and chased Huang Jingchen with a brick in his hand, shouting 'You dare to harm me...', he didn't dare to distinguish, only fled with his head in his hands, and the queen couldn't reprimand. Prince Yan chased it around the hall three times, its menacing no one dared to stop, the most Huang Duzhi hid in the side hall, Prince Yan still refused to give up, destroyed two doors, seven or eight windows, smashed porcelain, tables and chairs, and fortunately knew that Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng arrived to pull Prince Yan away.
When Huang Duzhi came out, he threw away his boots and abandoned his crown, his clothes were scattered, his hair covered his face, his eyes were black, his behavior was abnormal, he hid his face and cried, and his appearance was very miserable... Everyone in the world knows that Prince Yan has taken care of him since he was a child, and he has a lot of feelings, but he doesn't know why he turned against him! Later, according to well-informed sources, after Huang Jingchen was appointed as the "Horse Bearer" of the Economic Strategy Division, he privately accepted bribes in the name of the prince, and was asked to install officials in the state capital of Hedong Road, but was rejected by the prince, so he threatened with words, and was beaten in vain, not to mention, and had to go to the palace of Prince Yan to make amends, and it is reported that he knelt for a long time to ask for the prince's reception!
Not to mention that everyone knows that Prince Yan is a two-pole, no one buys it except for the emperor's account, and he is not afraid of other people's threats.
.......
"Lord Wang, why did you want the old man to play this scene with you today?" In the small study of the palace, there were only two parties, Jianxi, Zhao Xin, Huang Jingchen and Zhao Ta, Huang Jingchen drank a glass of wine and ate a mouthful of food.
"Alas, I beat you up today, so that everyone can rest assured, the emperor can rest assured, and I am happy!" Zhao Ta poured him a drink.
"Huh?! I can still understand the first two sentences, what is the explanation for making the prince happy? Huang Jingchen looked at the prince puzzled, and put on a situation of not giving me a reasonable explanation for not giving me an endless fight with you today. …,
"When you come back from Jiangnan, what did you say to your mother, think about it!" Zhao Ta glared back without showing weakness.
"No... Didn't say anything? Huang Jingchen thought for a moment, but didn't think of anything inappropriate.
"I'll give you a heads-up, what a book of poems, a shampa or something!" Zhao Ta saw that Huang Jingchen was still confused, and simply said: "It's the matter of the little lady of the Zhu family!" ”
"Hey, it turned out to be for this matter, what can't you say, hasn't the prince always been interested in her, if you are embarrassed to say, I will share your worries!" Huang Jingchen said suddenly, but he still didn't understand, this thing is a good thing, but he can't thank himself with this means when he is happy!
"Share your worries, why are you worrying about me, I was almost killed by you today, why didn't you tell my mother about it?" Zhao Ta patted the table and said.
"Doesn't the prince like her, if you don't like it, just push it!" Huang Jingchen drank another glass of wine and said, still not realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"It's late, the emperor has asked Zhu Mian to be a matchmaker, and issued a decree to grant Zhu Yannian as the doctor of Tongzheng, the uncle of Fanyang County, and transfer him to Beijing with his family to serve as the household attendant, so that the little lady of the Zhu family is ready to marry me!" Zhao Ta said with a bitter face, things have come to this point, if he regrets his marriage, Zhu Shuzhen will be left with two ways to become a monk and hang himself, wouldn't it hurt others.
"It's not going to be easy!" Huang Jingchen understood, the prince didn't like her, he misunderstood, and did a bad thing with good intentions, "Since the wood is already in the boat, the prince will make do with her, I think that little lady looks good, anyway, you will not marry only one in your life, but leave her a house." ”
"You really eat lamp grass and fart, can donkeys and horses tie to a trough to eat grass!" Zhao Ta shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I don't care if you can tie them together, it looks like you have to be tied to a trough, do you dare to disobey the emperor's holy decree." Huang Jingchen didn't care about 625, "But you don't suffer a loss if you get a daughter-in-law for nothing, I don't want the money from the media, you have to give the appearance fee." Again, how do you twitch your legs and foam at the mouth in the Niangniang Palace, you have to teach me! He joked again.
"If I don't smoke, my mother will have to let me marry her tomorrow, and I won't go to the northwest yet!" Zhao Ta was so angry that his eyebrows stood up and yelled at him.
"Second master, what do you want to do?" Zhao Xin poured a glass of wine for the prince and asked carefully.
"What should I do, hide, we'll leave the day after tomorrow, they can't find anyone when they come, they can't bring me back from the northwest to get married!" Zhao Ta took a sip of the wine and said.
"How long does the second master have to hide, he can't not go back to Beijing for the rest of his life!" Zhao Xin asked again.
"Hiding for a day is a day, one day she can't stand it and marries first, won't I be able to come back!" Zhao Tan looked at Zhao Xin and said with a smile.
"Don't ramble, hurry up and get something, I have to go back, or the palace gate should be closed!" Huang Jingchen was impatient, and said with the sleeve of the prince Lala.
"The older people get, the thicker their skin becomes!" Zhao Ta nodded at Huang Jingchen and said, "See, take a bottle of that golden pill and give it to Uncle Huang!" ”
"The official gave it to you, I don't know what you want this for?" Jianxi came back soon and handed the porcelain vase to Huang Jingchendao.
"See you, you don't know how much you can buy outside?" Huang Jingchen said with a smile, he shook his head when he saw Xi, and after being addicted, he poured out one and held it in his hand and said: "One can be sold for 10,000 yuan, but it is also priceless and marketable, but I don't know what is good about this thing, I really want to taste it!" ”
"Eat, eat, this thing is uncomfortable in the stomach, two are comfortable and sick all over the body, three go down like a fairy descending to earth, and four go down to burp the beam! I've made it clear, don't trouble me if you cause trouble. Zhao Ta looked at Huang Jingchen and said leisurely.
"No, this thing is said to be miraculous outside, how can it eat the dead?" Huang Jingchen was a little vague.
"Hmph, they must have heard it from Lin Lingsu's bull's nose, he has a good calculation, he dares to earn my money, if this thing is in moderation, it is good medicine, if you eat too much, it is poison, and killing people is invisible!" Zhao Ta said viciously, "Just like the knives and guns in our hands, good or bad are all in one thought!" ”
