Chapter 354: The Son of Heaven is painstaking, and the prince is clever
Chapter 354 The Son of Heaven is painstaking, and the prince is ingenious
Looking at King Jing who was smiling brightly, Xiao Lang's face was so red that he could almost drip blood. He glared at King Jing with the most ferocious gaze, and then walked away angrily. Seeing him in such a situation, King Jing couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, and seeing that Luo Xu's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him, he thought about it, and then he patted his head as if he suddenly realized.
"Xiao Lang, where do you want to go...... Didn't I just omit a few words? ”
Because of Zhang Huixin's good news, Luo Xu's wedding celebration was naturally full of joy. And the twelve little clay figurines sent by Yang Jinzhou were praised repeatedly by King Jing, who happened to seize the opportunity, because they were too suitable for the occasion, and in the end, Luo Xu really couldn't stand his unstoppable mouth, and hurriedly had nothing to say Xiao Lang seemed to be gone, and the talker went around looking for it, and Luo Xu and Yang Jinzhou had a clean ear.
It's just that, looking at the twelve beautifully carved clay figurines in the brocade box, he unconsciously thought of Chen Lan from Zhang Huixin, raised his head and looked at Yang Jinzhou who wanted to speak, but the words were swallowed back into his stomach unconsciously.
After a while, he said slowly: "Brother Yang, you are a good hand at fighting, and you have also learned literature from Du Ge for many years, but after all, you have always been in the north and have never been to Jiangnan. I once went with a friend on a study tour, and the atmosphere there seemed to be inherently unsuitable for swords, so when you get there, don't be vigorous from the beginning. I don't know why the emperor transferred you to guard the two rivers, but ...... Gangnam's recent situation has been very bad. According to the imperial history, the Zhejiang Governor participated in the impeachment of three prefects and two county orders, and these were all the emperor's ministers. ”
Yang Jinzhou has not yet entered the palace to see His Majesty, and Du Weifang has been on duty in the palace recently, and he has not been able to see him, so naturally he can't be as well-informed as Luo Xu, who walks in the cabinet. At this time, he was stunned for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Luo Xu's shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "Don't talk about business on the wedding night, you have three days of marriage leave, and it will not be too late for me to ask for advice at that time." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm dizzy" Luo Xu patted his head angrily, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "After tonight, we will be the same kind of people from now on."
"A class of people?"
"There is a roar of the Hedong lion at home" Seeing that Yang Jinzhou was a little stunned, Luo Xu took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "Your wife is invited by the eldest princess of Anguo, but my father-in-law is powerful, and when he joined forces with Du Ge Lao, he almost didn't let me write a vow on the spot In short, no matter how good the roadside wildflowers are in the future, they will not have a chance with us."
On the way out of Yiyuan, hearing that Luo Xu was so joking, Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Zhang Ge Lao actually joined forces with Du Ge Lao?" I thought my mother was the most casual person, and I didn't expect the two of them to be able to do such a thing."
"By the way, I didn't make trouble in the cave room just now, and Xiao Si complained to me that it was the bride who drove people away, and even brought out that color of tea soup to entertain guests, I really don't know if he can survive the night of Senior Brother Luo's cave room."
"He's a little fool, he didn't know that he had been deceived...... What kind of tea soup is there, Sister Bingyun whispered to me before, it is a kind of water boiled from leaves in Yunnan, with a bright color and strange smell, but it is a good thing for aphrodisiac and kidney, but it is a pity that their gang was frightened when they looked at it, and none of them dared to drink it. I don't want to think about it, how could Sister Bingyun really take Miao Jiang's terrifying poisons to give them to drink. ”
"Oh, can it be aphrodisiac?" Yang Jinzhou looked at Chen Lan for a while, and then said with a smile, "Then it seems that I still know the goods, I took it up and drank it in one go, and saw that no one wanted to pour another ......."
"You ......"
Chen Lan was dumbfounded, but just as she was about to speak, a scorching breath suddenly sealed her tightly. Coupled with the smell of wine emanating from her body, she suddenly remembered Zhang Bingyun saying that Hu Ye Tang had excellent effects, and she only felt a sigh in her heart. He deliberately reminded the driver outside the car, but when he gently bit her earlobe and said those words, her stiff muscles suddenly softened.
"Believe me, we will have a healthy and lively child"
"Hmmm......"
On the day that Yang Jin saw His Majesty, Chen Lan received a post from the eldest princess of Anguo. When she hurried there, she saw an unexpected group of people - the first to start was Concubine Wu Xian and King Lin Tai of Zhou, who said casually, when she asked her to accompany Concubine Wu Xian and King Zhou to Longquan Temple, she only felt stiff, but she still agreed after a long time.
At this time, she still recognized it at a glance when she revisited the old place, and the nunnery still maintained its original appearance. Longquan Pond, Longwang Hall, Daxiong Palace, Wenchang Pavilion...... The buildings were all the same as before, but the nuns in them were gone, replaced by monks in monk's robes. It was rare to see that Lin Taikan, the king of Zhou, was interesting to see, and after a while, he left Chen Lan and dragged the Ji family around, and Concubine Wu Xian just sent her entourage to follow, but she pulled Chen Lan into the ancestral hall.
As early as those monks almost ignored them, and the host greeted them at the mountain gate and disappeared again, Chen Lan knew that today's trip must not be so simple. Sure enough, Concubine Wu Xian took her and the two maids into the ancestral hall, and as soon as the door was closed, she ordered the two maids to guard the door, and then nodded to Chen Lan. When she entered the room on the left, she only fiddled with the bookshelf in the corner for a moment, and then there was a soft clicking sound on the ground, and after a while, the sound stopped completely, and a three-foot-square pitch-black hole appeared on the ground, and the steps were faintly visible.
"This place should have been brought to you by the eldest princess of Anguo, but now she is physically incapacitated, and the emperor is not at ease. After all, there are some things that others only know one thing but don't know the other, and I can be regarded as the person who has followed the emperor for the longest time besides the queen and the eldest princess. ”
Walking behind Concubine Wu Xian, listening to the soft words, Chen Lan unconsciously clenched his fists. When she went deep underground, looking at the huge and empty basement, she only felt a chill rushing over her face, and couldn't help but clench her arms all of a sudden, and it was easy to resist the urge to ask.
"Everything has been moved here. In addition to books or books, some are the original pen of Chu Guogong, but more are copied by people in a book, most of the handwriting is about the same, but the paper is new and old, after investigation is the master of Longquan Nunnery handwriting, I just don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd. ”
Concubine Wu Xian paused slightly, and then raised the oil lamp in her hand and motioned for Chen Lan to raise her head. The dim light shone on the high wall in front of him, revealing the many lines on it. At first, Chen Lan just squinted her eyes to take a closer look at the outline, but when she saw it completely clearly, she only felt a huge shock all over her body, and even almost held her breath.
Yes map is a map of the world that she had seen when she was in elementary school, the only difference is that the outlines of the seven continents and four oceans are exactly the same, but the borders between countries are very different, and the largest place in the center of Asia is engraved with a word like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing - Chu.
"Other things are good luck to go, this wall is built underground, and according to the craftsman, there is a dark river behind it, so it is difficult to take away, so it can only be kept temporarily, as for the monks of Longquan Temple, they are almost all carefully selected by Wei Guogong, so there is no need to leak this matter. The emperor once saw a similar picture in the classics of the Emperor Shi Chen, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing here, and it looked bigger and clearer than the Huang Shi Chen's. According to the eldest princess of An Guo, on the south side of the Yangtze River, there are often a lot of maps sold to maritime merchants in those small bookstores, although the printing is poor, but in countries outside our Chu Dynasty, there are many detailed pen and ink. Where do these things come from, the imperial court has traced them many times, but often they can't be found, you go to Jiangnan, it must be useful to write down this map. ”
Chen Lan knew that this was just a head, and he didn't say anything after nodding. Sure enough, Concubine Wuxian immediately put the oil lamp on the lampstand in front of the wall, and then turned around and said, "The master of Longquan Nunnery has left a lot of self-reports, and I want to come to the eldest princess of Anguo to tell you. Among them, there are a lot of pen and ink on you, but most of them are crazy nonsense, which is not enough to believe, but there are still a lot of letters to and from Jiangnan in the middle, and the language is more wild, but there are also mentions of you in the middle. Thinking that you will go to Jiangnan this time, maybe someone will pay more attention to you, so naturally there will be few people who will show their feet. This matter will be notified in advance, you remember to beware, the manpower laid by the eldest princess, you can also transfer it with the jade card at that time. After all, the person of the Fourth Highness is really imaginative. ”
"Last but not least...... Before the emperor ascended the throne, he once got a famous man from Jiangnan as his help. When the queen mother and I were plotting against others, it was his clever rejuvenation that saved our lives. When you go to Jiangnan, you might as well go to Yangzhou to try to meet him, and ask him to give you a good pulse. Tang Lao next to King Jin was recommended to the emperor by him, and it was naturally best to be able to move him, if not...... You take out the emperor's handwritten letter. All in all, you just need to let him understand that it was not the emperor who forced him out of the mountain, but just hoped that he would take care of your body. ”
Chen Lan was taken aback when she heard this, she never thought that the third most important thing was just for her health. When Concubine Wu Xian took out a letter and handed over a jade plaque from her arms, she only felt a slight blur in front of her.
"The emperor thought so thoughtfully...... After I go back, please thank the emperor on my behalf. I will not dare to forget this in my heart. ”
Looking at Chen Lan's watery eyes, Concubine Wu Xian couldn't help but smile and gently stroked her forehead hair, then nodded and said: "The reason why I didn't call you into the palace to say this to you in person is just because the emperor had dreamed of the queen mother before, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and he was afraid that he would be reluctant to let you go to Jiangnan when he saw you." The letter is written by the emperor himself, and the jade plate is the thing of the eldest princess of Anguo, I want to come to meet the eldest princess of Anguo before you leave, and she will explain the specific things to you again...... In the end, there is only one sentence, I am still waiting to hold your child in the future."
By the silver ingot bridge, the backyard of the Hou Mansion in the east of the town is performing martial arts.
On the long galloping road in the middle of the huge martial arts arena, I saw a horse rushing over at a gallop, and a few onlookers on the sidelines only vaguely saw people bending their bows and arrows, and then there were a few bowstrings. When the rider reached the finish line, he came to a stop, and immediately someone rushed to the target.
"How?"
Xiao Lang, the prince of Zhendong Hou, just took the towel and wiped it on his face twice, and then turned his head and asked. Steward Tang on the side hurriedly bowed and said with a smile on his face: "All five arrows are hit, four of them are in the middle of the heart, the prince's archery technique has improved again, if the Hou Ye knows, he must be very happy."
"What's there to be happy about, if you change your father, you can hit the bull's-eye with all ten arrows, right, what about the second brother?"
"The second young master took the two scholars and said that he was going to the Guozijian to have a look, isn't this going to be in prison in March?" Steward Tang explained with a smile, seeing Xiao Lang's helpless face, he could only pretend not to see it, and then diverted the topic and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing seems to be about to go on the road with Lord Yang and them, and then our mansion can finally stop and stop, and the prince doesn't need to ......."
"Say no more"
As soon as King Jing was mentioned, Xiao Lang's face immediately darkened, and he angrily threw the towel to the little guy on the side, but turned around angrily and left. However, when he arrived at the Moon Gate, he thought that he was going to stay with his younger brother Xiao Peng in this strange capital for a few years or even more than ten years, and Xiao Peng could also go to prison to study and make a few friends, and he, who had not yet had a serious job, either relied on riding and practicing archery at home all day long to relieve boredom, or wandered around the streets and alleys, and some kind of inexplicable irritability suddenly covered his whole face.
Although that guy is annoying, if he is really not there, I am afraid that this day will be as long as when he first came
With this kind of anxiety into the study, Xiao Lang naturally kept a calm face all morning, and the little maids and scholars who were waiting on the side were all careful with 100,000 points, lest one bad one would provoke the prince to be angry. And when a young man cautiously stepped forward to ask where the lunch was, the stiff atmosphere finally broke out all at once.
Xiao Lang threw the scroll in his hand on the table heavily, and there was anger between his eyebrows: "It's too idle, this kind of thing has to be decided, so there is nothing serious to do?" If you really have nothing to do, let all those idle and panicked housekeepers and stewards move, get dressed and run around the martial arts arena for me a hundred laps."
As soon as these words came out, several little guys suddenly turned blue with fright. Zhendong Hou's Mansion is not big, but the martial arts arena occupies at least half of it, not to mention a hundred laps, even if it runs ten laps, it is very likely that it is going to die.
"Shiziye, Shiziye...... King Jing, His Royal Highness King Jing has come down."
Hearing this familiar frightened tone, Xiao Lang, who was still full of annoyance just now, was stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he say lightly: "What are you still kowtowing here, that master came over at this time, obviously he wanted to rub the rice, hurry to the kitchen and order, pick up the two things of yesterday's game, and take them out for hospitality, so that he will not be picky when he eats."
With these words, the little guy who was still crying and kowtowing just now immediately jumped up and rushed out of the door without saying a word. And the other two scholars in the room saw that their prince stretched his waist and sat down again, and actually read the book leisurely, the kind of leisurely appearance was very different from the previous anxiety, and couldn't help but look at each other for a while.
It won't be true...... Was it really taken crooked by that master?
It wasn't long before the low curtain was knocked open. The person who entered the door shouted excitedly before he could stand firmly: "Xiao Lang, I just came straight out of the palace, I was so hungry that I could almost swallow a cow, what is delicious today I heard that you also have a Mongolian cook here, who is the best at concocting roasted whole sheep?" ”
Although he was ready to come to the door of the wicked to cheat and eat and drink, hearing this, Xiao Lang still couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then put down the book viciously: "I know that you only remember to eat roast whole sheep, this thing can't be prepared for a day or two, and I have already instructed the kitchen to fry a few pickled quails, as for the rest, go to the kitchen to see what you want to eat."
"That's a good idea"
King Jing smiled, nodded and went straight unceremoniously, seeing a few little guys stunned. When he came back again, he had lost the eager expression he had just made, and his face was so satisfied that he even burped as soon as he entered the door, as if he had made a gluttony in the kitchen. Despite this, he still showed a superhuman amount of food for lunch that day. Looking at his windswept appearance, Xiao Lang on the side couldn't even raise the strength to mock.
Seeing King Jing wiping his mouth with a snow-white handkerchief by himself, resting for a while and sipping tea complacently, Xiao Lang, who couldn't help it, finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness won't tell me that I came here today just to rub a meal, right?" Could it be that you are a prince, and the palace kitchen can't even concoct a lunch? ”
"Of course, that's not enough, it's just a meal like just now, although it's not a Bazhen banquet, but it costs a few taels of silver, I just opened the mansion now and has a tight hand, and I can save a penny, this is one of them." Seeing that Xiao Lang's face turned blue all of a sudden, King Jing said unhurriedly, "As for the second, of course it's a serious matter, there is one thing I want to ask Xiao Lang for your help." ”
Having dealt with this master a lot, Xiao Lang is now experienced, and when he heard this, he immediately showed a vigilant expression: "If there is anything, you just say it, don't beat around the bush, I'm not so easy to be fooled"
"The law doesn't pass on the six ears, Xiao Lang comes with the ears."
Seeing that Xiao Lang still had a stiff face and did not move at all, King Jing simply stood up and stepped forward, ignoring the naked rejection of the other party, he actually bent down on the desk and approached Xiao Lang's ears, and then spoke in a low voice. I saw that Xiao Lang only frowned at first, then showed a shocked expression, and in the end, he stayed there completely. At this moment, a person rushed into the door in a hurry, and happened to see the scene where the two almost met head to head, and the whole person couldn't move at once.
"Lord Shizi...... Your Highness ......"
In the evening, the main hall of Jingyuan is Zhiyuan Hall.
Whether it was the Jiang clan who was directing people to pack up, or Yang Jinzhou, who only came back in the afternoon after His Majesty's meeting, or Chen Lan, who had just returned from Longquan Nunnery and stepped into the second gate, no one expected that His Royal Highness King Jing would come suddenly. Unlike the Zhendong Hou Mansion, the people in Jingyuan have not experienced the experience of welcoming the prince, so after inviting people to Zhiyuan Hall to serve tea, the head of the front yard, Dai Ming, personally waited beside him, but in the face of King Jing's questioning method of a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, he was quickly a little overwhelmed.
After all, this torment did not last long, and soon, Yang Jinzhou rushed over and dissipated Deming's dilemma of almost collapsing. Yang Jinzhou saluted before he planned to invite someone to take a seat, but unexpectedly, King Jing refused to take a seat, but instead sat down next to Yang Jinzhou, and the other sentence that followed made him suddenly surprised.
"Your Highness...... You're not kidding, are you? ”
"Although I'm not usually very serious, I naturally won't casually talk about such things to deceive you." King Jing sat up straight solemnly, and there was no usual indifference and banter on his face, "In the past, few court officials recognized me, but now there are more, but most of the foreign officials have never paid attention to me, a prodigal, so this thing can be done." To tell you the truth, Lord Yang, it's not the first time I've been to Jiangnan...... When my mother died before, I was on the way back from Jiangnan, but I didn't catch up with the last moment. ”
Mentioning the past, King Jing's face showed a little inexplicable melancholy, and then his expression was correct: "I have already told my father about this matter, and my father means to toss it with me." Thinking that your majesty saw you today, my father should have revealed some kind of meaning. ”
"King Jing's affairs, you just have to watch, and you can respond to the order at the critical moment, and you don't need to interfere more."
Speaking of His Majesty, Yang Jinzhou suddenly thought of the emperor's instructions at that time, and after frowning, he thought about it, and finally nodded: "Since His Highness said so, then follow His Highness's meaning." However, if the matter is important, please don't act arbitrarily, even if it is to inform the ministers. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not one of those people who don't know what to do."
King Jing responded with a smile, and his mood was good for a while. When he got up to say goodbye after discussing for a while, he was sent to the door of the main hall by Yang Jinzhou, who knew that as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw that the sky and the earth were suddenly white, and he didn't know when it was pouring rain. Looking up at the sky, he suddenly turned his head and squeezed his eyes and said, "It seems that we were too engrossed in the discussion just now, and I didn't even notice the rain." If you want to say that it is a rainy day to stay as a guest, I rubbed a game at Zhendonghou Mansion for lunch, it seems that I have to have another dinner in Lord Yang's mirror garden tonight, I don't know if it's welcome? ”
Thinking that Xiao Lang had mentioned some of King Jing's "bad" behaviors, Yang Jinzhou secretly smiled bitterly, reluctantly agreed, and invited a small servant who was waiting outside the door to let him enter the inner door to report. When he turned his head again to look at King Jing under the eaves, squinting his eyes and concentrating on looking at the sky, he suddenly couldn't help but shout: "Your Highness? ”
"It is said that thunder is the wrath of the sky, and the rain is the wrath of the sky, but I don't know that the wrath of the sky is at most to kill one or two people, but Tianze is very likely to make thousands of people or even hundreds of thousands of people suffer in one fell swoop." Speaking of this, King Jing turned his head to look at Yang Jinzhou with a smile and asked word by word, "Lord Yang, do you have a point in saying this?" ”
PS: Drag everyone into the water, haha......
