Chapter 90: "When One Man Attains the Tao, the Chicken and the Dog Ascend to Heaven"

Is Yi Xiangxiang angry?

Actually, it's okay.

She just felt a little sorry for Zhao Zixiu, but if she was asked to choose again, she would still take the same path.

In her opinion, Zhao Ziqian didn't do anything wrong, after all, everyone has the right to plan for themselves, and her lack of Taoism was used, and she could only blame herself for her lack of ability.

Zhao Zixiu and Yi Xiangxiang sat in the carved wreath chair of Yongle Ju, relatively speechless for a while. In the copper cloisonnΓ© enamel gilt incense burner on the red sandalwood table, the rising is the taste of the autumn moon rivers and lakes, which is Zhao Zixiu's favorite spice, and the developer is Yi Xiangxiang.

Previously, Zhao Zixiu asked Yi Xiangxiang to buy out this spice, and then Yipinxiang stopped selling Qiuyue Jianghu, and now this incense is exclusively for Zhao Zixiu. The reason why Yongle Curie is still lit at this time is also because of some samples that were brought back from the shop earlier.

After a long time, Yi Xiangxiang broke the silence and said: "It seems that there is no need to wait until the spring of next year, His Highness can return to Beijing now." ”

Zhao Ziyu besieged the imperial city, and the saint Zhao Zheng was assassinated and frightened, so His Royal Highness Zhao Zixiu, the fourth prince, as his son, must have returned to Beijing to condole.

"The main hall really doesn't want to go back at this time to see the smile of the seventh brother's victory." Zhao Zixiu was a little helpless, but he felt a little funny.

Before the struggle between himself and Zhao Ziqian really began, he was already running in the direction of failure, so he really felt a little tired. He has been in Tongzhou for a long time these days, and he has not learned anything else, but he has a yearning for the life of Xianyun and Wild Crane.

Yi Xiangxiang smiled when she heard this, she understood Zhao Zixiu's ostrich mentality, and said jokingly:

"It's not okay if you don't go back, a gentle gentleman must also be a filial son, at this time you should go back to visit the saint in a panic. Besides, even if you don't want to be famous, the Holy Lord will definitely summon you back to Beijing to help clean up the mess. ”

The uproar caused by the official sale case has not completely calmed down, and Zhao Ziyu's forced palace has followed one after another, and today's Kyoto can be said to be in ruins. Then at this time, the saint will no longer care about Zhao Zixiu's previous problems, because he needs this son to help Zhao Ziqian stabilize the overall situation together.

Pang Hui was struggling with how to speak after hearing His Royal Highness's words just now, and now after hearing Yi Xiangxiang say this, he hurriedly spoke:

"The Holy Lord has indeed urgently summoned His Highness back to Beijing, and the news is already on the way."

The person who preaches the will is naturally not as fast as the flying pigeon of the secret guard, and he is still halfway there.

"Don't hurry, wait until you receive the will." Zhao Zixiu still didn't have much motivation.

In fact, he also has other concerns, now that the news has just spread, he and Yi Xiangxiang should be the first to know about this in Tongzhou City, if he leaves Tongzhou at this time, it will expose the fact that he has hidden eyeliner everywhere, so he should wait until the news spreads on the bright side before leaving.

Yi Xiangxiang agreed with Zhao Zixiu's arrangement, and secretly praised him in his heart for being calm, if he had changed to someone else, he would have jumped back to Kyoto to brush up on his sense of existence at this time.

"It is true that you can set off in a few days, and the weather is good in the past two days, there is a maple forest outside the colorful valley, and the maple is as red as fire in this season, just enough to enjoy it and then go." Otherwise, I don't know when it will be next time. Yi Xiangxiang turned the mutton fat jade bracelet in her hand and said slowly.

She said this not only to Zhao Zixiu, who was about to leave, but also to herself. My brother's rescue work will definitely be rewarded, and the Yi family will definitely officially enter the field of vision of wealthy dignitaries from now on, and she may not really be as free as she is now in the future.

Zhao Zixiu looked at Yi Xiangxiang and stopped talking, but it was rare for the latter to see him hesitate like this, so he smiled and continued:

"Although the overall strength of Huanxi Pavilion is barely a piece in the rivers and lakes, it has no ability to confront any of the forces in the imperial court, otherwise you would not have let Zhao Ziyu go to the bar. I don't know what Zhao Ziqian's purpose was for bringing the Yi family, but Huanxi Pavilion will no longer take the initiative to participate in the royal battle, this is my promise to you. But after all, I owe you this matter, so that I will repay you in the future at your request. ”

Although Zhao Zixiu's demotion this time was fueled by the crown prince and the seventh prince, if he hadn't uncovered the case of selling officials, he would naturally not have been suspicious of the saint because the statement was too prosperous. In fact, in the current situation, it is difficult for Zhao Zixiu to overpower Zhao Ziqian's edge, and he can't match the latter's weight in the heart of the saint. It is clear that Zhao Ziqian already has more opportunities to go to a high position than Zhao Zixiu.

Even Yi Xiangxiang felt that the battle for the crown prince was actually a foregone conclusion. Zhao Ziqian laid such a large net, which shows his mental ability, and Zhao Zixiu should have no chance.

Now Yi Xiangxiang only hopes that Zhao Ziqian will not be killed, if there is really that time, she will always find a way to help Zhao Zixiu, so as to more or less appease her little guilt.

"I'm not...... This means ......," Zhao Zixiu wanted to explain.

"Eh, it's okay, it's just a request, if you need it, let me make up for it!" The reason why Yi Xiangxiang gave Zhao Zixiu a promise was just to make her heart more balanced, so as not to feel that she owed him.

When Zhao Zixiu heard Yi Xiangxiang so frank, he didn't have any excuses, so he smiled and said, "Okay!" If there is a need, I will ask you! ”

What he was about to explain just now was that he didn't actually blame Yi Xiangxiang, after all, he had responded to Yi Xiangxiang's request entirely for his own interests. And even if it wasn't Yi Xiangxiang who took the account book at that time, he would have done the same thing!

However, since Yi Xiangxiang felt a little guilty because of this, and bluntly said that he should make a request to him for the sake of peace in his heart, the other party was so straightforward and frank, he was naturally embarrassed to refuse.

Zhao Zixiu finished appreciating the maple forest with Yi Xiangxiang in Tongzhou before leaving for Beijing, and he also took a delicately carved Chengni bamboo inkstone from Yi Xiangxiang's bookcase, which was called a souvenir!

Yi Xiangxiang is extremely distressed about this, what kind of inkstone does Zhao Zixiu want, what kind of inkstone does he want, he has to rob her just to see that she likes it, and deliberately steals people's favor!

In fact, the maids of Yongleju are actually very puzzled by this, as if everyone loves to grab things from their own young lady, and even Miss Nine feels that the chicken legs in her sister's bowl are more fragrant every time she eats, and she really doesn't know how her young lady's things are so eye-catching.

Blame me? Yi Xiangxiang was speechless!

......

Although Zhao Ziyu's rebellion was unsuccessful, the saint Zhao Zheng was still stimulated to be bedridden.

Also, although the crown prince Zhao Zilin is mediocre and unpleasant, he is Zhao Zheng's blood relatives and flesh and blood after all, plus Meng Zhaoyi and the eleventh and twelfth princes under his knees all died tragically, it is because Zhao Zheng is really a white-haired person to send a black-haired person! And the saddest thing is that the initiator is still his second son Zhao Ziyu, which is even more deeply saddened! So the saint of today, who was anxious and angry, and hurt and pained, fell ill.

Losing his four sons in one go, plus a favored Zhaoyi, Yi Xiangxiang secretly sympathized with Zhao Zheng in her heart, and said to Qingxuan silently in private that today's saint is really the worst saint since the founding of the Li Dynasty!

However, even on the bed, Zhao Zheng still issued several holy decrees in a row, first burying several sons and Meng Zhaoyi, and then killing the Ye family and the nine clans of the Zeng family.

The Praetorian Guards were derelict in guarding the imperial city, causing the rebels to enter a no-man's land, so they were directly pulled out of the noon gate and beheaded.

Huwei General Li Yuan was blamed for poor discipline, and after being scolded for 20 boards, he was demoted to a pawn. However, this is not a big punishment for Li Yuan, and he is Zhao Ziqian's person, if Zhao Ziqian ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be able to recover.

Those who should be punished have been punished, and then only those who should be rewarded are left!

Needless to say, the Seven Princes' Mansion and the Kang family and the Xiong family, their status itself is already respected enough, and those who should be sealed have all been sealed, and there is really nothing to seal, so they get rewards such as gold and silver.

And Huanxi Pavilion's rescue was meritorious, in addition to the many subordinates who were rewarded, the dragon girl was directly named the lord of Minghui County, and was given a house slave and a field.

Mo asked, originally he didn't want to restore the name of the Mo family, but unfortunately the saint didn't know about it, so he directly gave him a mansion and gold and silver utensils, and named him the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

From a civilian to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, this honor is obvious! Yi Xiangxiang was also quite relieved when she knew about this, because she didn't want the name Mo Zhaoxi to be drowned in the dust, but she just couldn't ask. Now this situation has also given her an explanation to the Mo family.

As for Yi Luochuan and Jiang Xuanrui, the Holy Lord Zhao Zheng knew that they had already been promoted at a young age, so he specially instructed them to prepare well for next year's Spring Festival. The meaning of this could not be more obvious, to put it bluntly, it means that they will have a name for themselves next year, so that they can have a good future.

Well, Yi Luochuan didn't want to participate in next year's Spring Festival, so he had to go! However, the Yi family wanted to avoid the storage turmoil in Kyoto before, but now they have been pulled to the ship of the Seven Princes, so there is nothing to hide.

Yi Luochuan and Jiang Xuanrui, the two little ones, had to wait for their success to become famous before they were rewarded, so this time's reward for saving the car fell directly on the Yi family and the Jiang family. The saint praised the two families for their godson, so the old lady of the Yi family, the Mo family, and the eldest lady Lin, as well as the old lady Qin and Mrs. Jiang of the Jiang family, all got their orders.

Jiang Xuanrui's father, Jiang Chengshen, was also promoted by two ranks, and just took the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was removed due to the official sale case a while ago.

And the Yi family even picked up a bigger bargain, the saint Zhao Zheng heard that Huanxi Pavilion was Yi Luochuan's friend in the rivers and lakes, and he called to help, thinking that he was the biggest! So Zhao Zheng hesitated, and directly gave the position of the secretary to Yi Xihu!

At the time of the official sale case, Lu Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was exterminated, and the vacated seat has always made everyone want it, but no one expected that the saint would give it to a Zhizhou who was promoted from the official of Qipin County! And the ancestors are still in business!

Not only were there outsiders who were surprised, but when the holy decree arrived in Tongzhou, the Yi family was also stunned! This is completely a member of the airborne into the second grade, can you not be shocked! Yi Xiangxiang even felt that this saint was schizophrenic because of excessive sadness, and confused his brain! Could it be that the ancient rewards were so capricious? Yi Xiangxiang was puzzled.

But in any case, the Yi family this time was because of Yi Luochuan's meritorious rescue, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven.

Now that this holy decree has come, the Yi family naturally has to enter Beijing by order, after all, this official is not on an errand in Tongzhou.

So the Yi family is very busy this autumn!

First of all, Yi Xihu has to carry out business handover with the officials under him. Fortunately, this time it is not like the previous Centennial County, where the handover can only be carried out when the new officials arrive at the local level. This time, the state of Tongzhou was directly mentioned as the governor of Tongzhou, Wu Jianbin, that is, Wu Feng's father, as the governor of Tongzhou. It is said that because of Yi Xixi's promotion, Wu Jianbin has the opportunity to be promoted from the same knowledge of the sixth grade to the fifth grade of the Zhizhou, and the Wu family is also very grateful to the Yi family!

Yi Xihu was busy handing over to Wu Jianbin , and at the same time had to participate in the wedding banquet prepared by a group of officials and wealthy gentry in Tongzhou, and even a farewell banquet. After all, Yi Xihu is immediately the master of the Ministry of Officials, and he has the right to directly appoint and dismiss officials of the fourth rank and below, and the power is great, so can the rich gentry compliment it!

Yixi Lake is busy because of handover and entertainment, and Lin's is even busier!

Not only did he have to deal with all kinds of Tongzhou ladies who came to the house, but he also had to arrange for his servants to pack and pack the luggage that he wanted to bring to Kyoto. Fortunately, the new governor is Wu Jianbin , the Wu family has their own house in Tongzhou, and they don't need this official house for the time being, otherwise many things really can't be moved away for a while.

After all, now is not the time to move from Centennial County to Tongzhou, the Yi family did not have so many utensils at that time, and the current warehouse is twice as large as the original. Mainly because Yi Xiangxiang, a small loser, bought everything and moved it home!

Lin is busy, Yi Xiangxiang is also busy! Do you want to arrange the affairs of the Joy Building? The Huanxi Pavilion in Colorful Valley and the Wuda business in Tongzhou City should be arranged, right? She's not missing anything at all! And the important thing is that under this mansion now, the treasure left by the previous dynasty has not been dug up!

Back then, Yi Xiangxiang got the Rubik's Cube from Qishanzhai, and after opening it, he knew that the treasure was in Tongzhou Wangfu Villa. After the founding of the Li Dynasty, the names of the prefectures and counties were all named after the Qilin Dynasty, but the palace of Tongzhou was changed to the official residence of Zhizhou, that is, the mansion at the foot of Yi Xiangxiang.

She hadn't had time to dig before, but now she was going to Kyoto, so of course she had to think of taking this house for herself.

It was Yi Xiangxiang who went to Kyoto to communicate with his brother Yi Luochuan, asking him to ask Zhao Ziqian for help, and be sure to let the saint open his mouth to reward her with this mansion! Anyway, now Yi Jiaming is also Zhao Ziqian's accomplice on the face, and Yi Xiangxiang, who has been used, doesn't mind bothering Zhao Ziqian at all.

As for Zhao Ziqian, he originally didn't want to help Yi Xiangxiang, because he thought that Yi Xiangxiang wanted Tongzhou's house to leave a way back. However, he thought that it was rare for Yi Xiangxiang to speak, and he was reluctant to refuse.

So Zhao Ziqian began to flicker in front of the saint Zhao Zheng.

"Father's body is better?" Zhao Ziqian entered the Imperial Palace to pay homage to Zhao Zheng, and asked about his physical condition.

The saint Zhao Zheng is wearing a golden thread weaving dragon pattern brocade robe, a red leather belt around his waist, and a winged crown on his head, and he is sitting on a red sandalwood inlaid jade jade treasure chair drinking eight treasure soup. When he saw Zhao Ziqian coming in to pay respects, he called out and said, "Well, I feel that my body is a little looser, it should be very good." ”

Zhao Zheng really felt that his spirit was better today, so he changed into his regular clothes and prepared to go to the imperial garden for a walk after drinking the soup and moving his body.

Zhao Ziqian nodded when he heard the words and said, "That's good, father, you have to get well quickly!" Those government affairs are too complicated, and the chapter is even more dazzling, father, you have to quickly take back all the government affairs! In this way, Erchen can go out of the city to hunt with Yi Luochuan and them! There is a lot of prey in autumn, and I will hunt a stag for you to come back! ”

After the Holy Lord Zhao Zheng fell ill, all the affairs of the court were handed over to Zhao Ziqian as his agent, and Zhao Zixiu assisted him.

"Hey, you unfilial son! Just share the affairs with me for a few days and complain? Still want to go out of town? Think beautifully! The little boy of the Yi family can't go either, let him prepare well for next year's Spring Festival, if the strategy is well written, I will make him the champion! Zhao Zheng said that he asked Zhao Ziqian to make a bowl of eight-treasure soup.

Zhao Ziqian didn't like to drink these thick soups, he looked at the black soup in the golden bowl with the petal pattern of the mandarin duck lotus, and then looked up at his father who was staring, and drank the soup with a grunt.

Since Zhao Ziqian returned to Beijing from Tongzhou and slowly changed his mode of getting along with Zhao Zheng, the two monarchs and ministers have become more and more like father and son. And coupled with Zhao Ziqian's rescue this time, Zhao Zheng trusted his son more and more, and he spoke casually.

"Father, you can look down on Yi Luochuan, how can he have the heart to calm down and read now, he is annoyed by his sister every day!" Zhao Ziqian put the bowl down, pouted and continued to flicker.

He was secretly helpless in his heart, in order to help Yi Xiangxiang get that house, he really didn't even have a basic image.

Zhao Zhengzheng ordered someone to remove the Eight Treasure Soup, and when he heard the words, he asked, "Huh? The Yi family entered Beijing so soon? ”

After the Yi family rescued the car, he also investigated the family and learned that Yi Luochuan had a younger brother, who seemed to be a cousin, who had been running a restaurant called Xile Lou in Kyoto, and Yi Luochuan had no relatives in Beijing. Now Zhao Ziqian said that he was being annoyed by his sister, and Zhao Zheng thought that the Yi family had entered Beijing.

"No! It was a letter from his family, saying that his sister was reluctant to give up the big house in Tongzhou and was losing her temper! Zhao Ziqian said with a disgusted face.

To be honest, he really disliked it, he always felt that Yi Xiangxiang's purpose in wanting the house was to withdraw to Tongzhou in the future. Hum! This unmotivated person didn't think about carrying forward the Yi family in Kyoto! Zhao Ziqian secretly slandered himself.

Zhao Zheng was very surprised, he didn't expect that there was a daughter who was reluctant to lose her temper in the house, it seems that the Yi family loves this daughter very much: "Then you let Yi Luochuan tell his sister that the house in Kyoto is more luxurious and spacious!" ”

In his opinion, in all the prefectures and counties of the Li Dynasty, there are no houses comparable to those in Kyoto. However, he let out all these words, and said that it would be bigger and more luxurious, because you have no jokes, you really have to give the Yi family a good house! Zhao Zheng thought in his heart,

At this time, Yi Xiangxiang, who was in Tongzhou, never thought that she would inadvertently win a big mansion for her family in Kyoto, and the regulations would even exceed that of the Hou Mansion!

Zhao Ziqian took a sip of tea and replied, "It's useless!" What do you say that there are flowers and trees planted by her own hands in the house in Tongzhou, and when the new owner is replaced, it will definitely be ruined! Eh, a little girl, crying when you see the sky! ”

"It's simple, just give her that house. The elder brother has made meritorious contributions, and the younger sister should also be rewarded. Zhao Zheng said very casually, as if he had rewarded someone with a peach.

"It was a mansion left over from the previous dynasty, and it was taken into the official residence, wouldn't it be appropriate to reward it?" Zhao Ziqian raised so-called concerns.

In fact, it is not possible to say what the saint wants to reward, but after all, it is an official residence, and Zhao Ziqian, as the prince, still has to pretend to remind him.

Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "There is nothing inappropriate, if you want an official mansion, you can build another one." You instructed Yi Luochuan to hurry up and urge Yi Xihu to go to Beijing, and the position of the secretary of the ministry could no longer be empty. ”

The official department was dismissed last year by selling officials, and it has indeed been vacant for too long now, and it is normal for Zhao Zheng to hurry up and fill the official position of the Li Dynasty again, and urge Yi Xihu.

As a result, Yi Xiangxiang got a satisfactory reply, that is, the house in Tongzhou was zoned as her property. She was going to wait for the Yi family to leave, and let the Le Qi couple stay here with some Huanxi Pavilion members, after all, there was money underneath!

Yi Xiangxiang had already sold Leqi's slave status, and bought a small courtyard for her and Zhou Jiaotou to live in not far from Tongzhou Yifu. Now that Le Qi is pregnant, it is inconvenient to go to Beijing with Yi Xiangxiang, so it is because of her that she decided to leave Zhou Jiaotou and Le Qi behind to see this house.

And now that Mo Wen has restored Mo Zhaoxi's identity and become the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he is no longer suitable to be the chief of Huanxi Pavilion.

The dragon girl was made the county lord, and it was not easy to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Qingxuan, who has been by Yi Xiangxiang's side for a long time, is even more unable to take care of Huanxi Pavilion.

So Yi Xiangxiang asked the fox fairy and the yaksha to serve as the left and right protectors while serving as the twenty-four protectors, and to take charge of the Huanxi Pavilion.

Yi Xiangxiang wants to enter Beijing, and the headquarters of Huanxi Pavilion has to be transferred. Fortunately, the saint appreciated the field of Huanxi Pavilion, so Yi Xiangxiang planned to build an identical colorful valley outside Kyoto City as the new headquarters of Huanxi Pavilion.

When the people in the rivers and lakes heard that the headquarters of Huanxi Pavilion had moved north, they all secretly sighed that its financial and material resources were extraordinary. In fact, Yi Xiangxiang is also distressed about money, isn't there no way to do it!

The Yi family received the news that Yi Luochuan had said that the saint was urging the king, so in the early winter, the Yi family and his party braved the cold to board the ship. And when they arrived in Kyoto, it was already snowy.
