Chapter 238: It's still a taste to honor the promise of a treat

Huaiyu's experience, Zhao Yanke didn't know at all.

"When did I not know what was going on?"

"You can't know everything." Huaiyu smiled slightly.

She was young at the time, and after seeing that scene, she was so frightened that she was stunned in place, and was discovered by Zhao Kou, who was concentrating on killing fish.

He walked towards Huaiyu with the bloody knife in his hand, and the sinister smile on his face made little Huaiyu shudder.

Huaiyu clung to the bushes beside her, and the branch pierced into her delicate little hand, but she was still unaware, only staring at Zhao Kou who was walking towards her step by step with wide eyes.

Huaiyu once thought that he was going to be killed by him.

Fortunately, Xiaoyanagi found that he was gone, and called himself from afar.

Zhao Kou saw someone coming, wiped the blood on the knife, and disappeared into the garden trees.

After returning home from the palace that time, Huaiyu had a high fever, and after waking up, he seriously followed his father to practice martial arts, changing his usual appearance.

Zhao Yan looked at Huaiyu for a while, Huaiyu didn't say, he could guess a rough idea.

After all, the number of times she entered the palace was only a handful, that is, before she was five or six years old, the queen and Aunt Gu had a very close personal relationship, and no matter how big or small the palace banquet was, she often let Aunt Gu take Huaiyu into the palace.

Zhao Yan said: "I can't complain that you suddenly disappeared for a while, it turned out that you were frightened." ”

"Seriously, I thought you should replace him, even if you want to restrain Prime Minister Wang, it doesn't have to be him." Huaiyu couldn't understand that Zhao Yan actually helped Zhao Kou.

Zhao Yan and Pei Ji'an were speechless, this kind of thing, thinking about it in their hearts, is already a big rebellion, but she said it so openly.

"Beware that the wall has ears."

"In Xunyan Tower, will there be ears on the wall?"

A few people laughed, and Zhao Yan said with a straight face: "After all, Zhao Kou is the first prince, and his younger brother is young, and he is imprisoned by Prime Minister Wang, and the situation is urgent, so he has to do this." ”

Huaiyu could imagine what it was like to be in Kyoto a few months ago.

But that's the end of the matter, and it's useless to say more.

"Then when did you discover Zhao Kou's true face?" Huaiyu asked, "If the strategy of letting the Shen family army attack Anqing is successful, Zhao Kou really won't have any available troops in his hands." ”

"Chang'an knows you very well, and with him, the Shen family army will never attack the city easily." Speaking of this, Zhao Yan sighed regretfully, "But his failure to attack the city, in addition to knowing the consequences, there may be other reasons behind it." ”

"Other reasons?"

Zhao Yan nodded, Pei Ji'an stood in front of the window, slowly and heavily: "You mean Zhao Kou?" ”

"Not bad. As expected, Zhao Kou intended to be the soldier of the Shen family. ”

More than a few hundred years after the founding of Daqing, Gaozu formulated strict decrees, and the imperial power and the general power have always been separated.

The royal guards in the palace were under the direct command of the emperor, but these guards were only responsible for the security inside and outside the imperial city, and there were only more than a thousand people.

The power is divided among several generals, and it is not concentrated in one person.

Now only Fan Ke and Shen Jing are the only ones left in the DPRK and China.

And Shen Jing was furious in Anqing, and since returning to Beijing, he has been lying on the couch to recuperate, and he has not even seen the emperor, and the military power of the Shen family army is now in the hands of Shen Chang'an.

Huaiyu sighed heavily.

When Emperor Youqing was there, he was also eyeing the military power, but he only operated secretly, and he did not dare to put his coveting of the military talisman on the surface.

Therefore, even if Gu Yanhe was given death, many high-level generals of the Gu family army were also assigned, and in the case of death, the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Gu family army still did not fall into the hands of the emperor, but after being reorganized, they were returned to other armies.

Now, the young Zhao Kou actually attacked Shen Jiajun's talisman so directly, which really made Huaiyu both unbelievable and a little admired his courage.

During the Youqing period, Prime Minister Wang Cheng was in charge of the government, one of the reasons was that nearly sixty percent of the officials in the court were students of Prime Minister Wang, and the military power of the world was in his hands, and Emperor Youqing almost became a puppet in his hands.

"I hope that after three days, Chang'an can make a suitable choice."

Before the three-day period arrived, Shen Changan went to the Eight Princes' Mansion to ask to see Zhao Yan.

said that he was asking to see Zhao Yan, but in fact, he was mainly looking for Huaiyu.

When Huaiyu heard that Shen Changan wanted to see him, he was stunned for a moment, unable to guess what he was looking for, and came to the main hall with a full stomach.

Shen Changan was sitting opposite Zhao Yan.

It seems that the two have finished speaking, and at this time the two of them are holding tea and not saying a word.

Huaiyu sat down between the two and looked at Shen Changan: "Chang'an wants to see me?" ”

Shen Changan smiled kindly: "When I was in Anqing, I owed you a meal." ”

Huaiyu suddenly remembered that a few months ago in Anqing, when the two of them had nothing to say, Shen Changan did say this, and he wanted to invite himself to Shangwei for a big meal.

But that's just a polite remark, who would take it seriously?

"Besides, I haven't seen him for so many years, does Huaiyu only recognize Zhao Shizi and not me, my little brother?"

Ahh

Huaiyu didn't know how to answer for a while, and at this time Zhao Yan said loudly: "Chang'an is reasonable, then it is better to call Xu Shen, wouldn't it be better for the four of us to be together?" ”

"Very good, very good." Shen Changan said, "I'll send someone to Xu's mansion, but Xu Shen is a busy person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to invite him." ”

And this is indeed true.

Xu Shen is the only son of the Xu Mansion, and the huge family business is on his head, he is really a busy man who is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.

"Chang'an rest assured, he will be at home these days, report the name of Huaiyu, and he will not fail to come no matter how busy he is." Zhao Yan smiled slightly, Xu Shen was busy with Huaiyu's stay in Xu's Mansion these days, and he would definitely not leave Kyoto.

Shen Changan choked, and then said: "That's good, tonight's unitary time, it's still delicious, let's see you there." ”

When night falls, the lights of Kyoto's Zhengyang Street are gradually lit up, and the place where the restaurant is Chunlou Tea Room and Music Workshop is shuttled by people from the city.

And in one of the most secluded small streets, there is one of the most prosperous and lively restaurants, the name is Shang Taste.

I heard that the chef of Shang Taste is a blonde and blue-eyed person from the Western Regions, and the large plate of chicken he made is already fragrant for ten miles before it comes out of the pot, and the rest of the dishes are even more dazzling, which makes people eat it once and never forget it, so Shang Taste has become a wine shop frequented by wealthy people in Kyoto for a while.

Zhao Yan and Huaiyu did not take the carriage of the palace, but sat in the sedan chair of Xunyan Tower, and the eye-catching goose-shaped pattern on the body was known to everyone in Kyoto, not to mention the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who came and went to taste this kind of wine shop.

Therefore, when Zhao Yan and Huaiyu got out of the carriage and stepped into Shangwei, there was a murmur in the wine shop.
