Chapter 33: Tokens
"Second uncle, my nephew is going to help disasters, not to fight."
Xu Yi's eyes were slightly red, and he pretended to chuckle and teased.
"Disaster relief, disaster relief, your trip is not just for the people."
"It's cutting off the financial routes of those big and small families."
"Cutting off people's financial routes is like killing your parents."
"You have the imperial order, and those big and small families don't dare to say anything on the surface."
"But there's no guarantee that they won't do anything secretly."
Xu Zhen waved his hand, retreated left and right, and said slowly with sincerity.
Xu Zhen said these words, how could Xu Yi not understand in his heart.
It is precisely because of understanding that I am full of emotion.
"Second uncle, don't worry, my nephew is not a child anymore."
Xu Yi took a deep breath, then replied with a chuckle.
If an eagle wants to soar into the sky, it must leap from a bird's nest on a cliff.
Either soar for nine days, or shatter your bones.
There is no other choice.
"Yes, Yi'er has grown up and is no longer a child."
Xu Zhen chuckled and patted Xu Yi's shoulder gently.
His eyes were full of relief.
No matter how dazzling Xu Yi is in the court.
But in Xu Zhen's eyes, he is always the child who needs his protection.
The only child in the world today who has half the blood of the Zhao family.
Just as the uncle and nephew were chatting.
Outside Youning Courtyard, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums.
The uncle and nephew glanced at each other and walked towards the courtyard gate at the same time.
This kind of movement, except for the palace Ouchi, who would put on such a battle.
Sure enough.
The uncle and nephew had just walked to the courtyard gate.
There was a knock at the door of the courtyard.
and not wait for the man to speak and shout.
Zhao Shou walked past the two and slowly opened the courtyard door.
"The sixth prince Xu Yi took the order."
Outside the door, a young little eunuch was stunned, and then shouted loudly.
"The minister takes the order."
Xu Yi's body bent slightly, and his hands were parallel to his forehead.
"Carried by heaven, the emperor said."
“.......”
“......”
The little eunuch's voice like a male duck kept resounding at the main entrance of Youning Courtyard.
The divine decree sprinkled hundreds of words.
Most of them are useless words.
A moment later.
"The minister takes the order."
Xu Yi took two steps forward and took the holy decree with both hands.
"Sixth Prince, this is Jing Zhaoyin's official seal, please take it."
After the decree was announced, the little eunuch's serious expression instantly dissipated.
Instead, there was a smile full of flattery.
Xu Yi stretched out his hand to take a small seal with three fingers square, and chuckled: "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”
"The sixth prince is polite."
"This is the waist card of the Disaster Relief Commander."
"With this waist card, you can mobilize all the local governments in Qinchuan for eight hundred miles."
The little eunuch smiled and lifted a piece of black moire cloth and took out a token the size of a baby's palm.
The token glowed with a white glow, and its raw material was obviously a fine jade.
On the front of the token, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the six characters 'Disaster Relief Commander-in-Chief' are engraved.
Behind it, it is carved with gold thread 'the four big characters of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ’
Xu Yi smiled and took the jade token into his arms.
Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently looked at Zhao Shou beside him.
"The sixth prince, if there is nothing to do, the slave and maid will leave first."
The little eunuch saluted respectfully.
"Zhao Shou, go and send your father-in-law."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, from today onwards, he and Zhao Shou will be able to officially step out of Youning Courtyard.
After a while.
Zhao Shou trotted all the way back to Youning Courtyard with a happy face.
"Sixth master, the matter is done."
The smile on Zhao Shou's face did not dissipate for a long time.
"Hmm."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then ignored it.
Only when the king of Jin Xu Zhen is here, even if Zhao Shou gives it, the little eunuch will never dare to accept it.
Compared with other princes, Xu Yi really has no family background in the palace.
If other princes accept the order, they must not think about forming a good relationship with everyone in the palace like Xu Yi.
for future use.
"Yi'er comes with the second uncle."
Xu Zhen gently patted Xu Yi's shoulder, then turned around and walked out slowly.
"Go together."
Xu Yi chuckled lightly and motioned for Zhao Shou to lock the door and go together.
This is also the first time that the two of them have taken a good look at the entire Zongzheng Temple.
Along the way, countless maids and servants walked after the three of them walked through Xu Zhen.
Can't help but whisper.
In the past, there were few people in the Zongzheng Temple who were beating gongs and drums when people came to the palace, and they really didn't know.
But, what's the matter if they know, they don't dare to come up to see the excitement when people come to the palace.
So, it also creates a different scene.
That is the road that Xu Zhen and the three of them must pass through, and from time to time there will be groups of servants and maids passing by occasionally.
Xu Zhen and Xu Yi can ignore the fingers behind them.
Zhao Shou obviously couldn't do it.
The face is red for a while and black for a while, as if his face has changed.
"Keep breathing steadily, don't let the outside world disturb your rhythm."
Xu Yi chuckled, and then guided in a low voice.
"Yes."
Zhao Shou responded in a low voice, and then did it one by one.
In the future, the master and servant will definitely encounter more fingering and pointing than they do now.
If you can't adapt, the loss is small, and the loss of life is big.
A moment later
The three of them walked to the left courtyard of Zongzheng Temple.
This is where Xu Zhen works every day.
"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
Along the way, the officials of the left court kept saluting and greeting.
At the same time, his eyes were constantly secretly looking at Xu Yi and Zhao Shou.
After a while.
The three of them crossed the layers of official houses and walked into the backyard of the left courtyard of Zongzheng Temple.
The backyard of the left courtyard, if it weren't for Xu Zhen's permission on weekdays, outsiders would not be able to step into the backyard for half a step anyway.
If it is late to deal with official business on weekdays, Xu Zhen mostly rests in this backyard.
"Call Wen Cunyi and the others to come to the backyard."
Xu Zhen waved his hand and summoned a servant and commanded.
"Didn't Yi'er ask the second uncle for a hundred experienced spies a few days ago?"
"Now that the wood is complete, the second uncle will hand over these people to you today."
Xu Zhen chuckled, and then slowly walked towards a gazebo in the backyard.
He never forgot what he promised Xu Yi.
After a while.
Hundreds of black-clothed men with different fat, thin, tall and short slowly walked into the backyard of the left courtyard of Zongzheng Temple under the leadership of a middle-aged guard.
The hundred spies were all fat, thin, tall, and short, and the only thing they had in common was their popular faces.
If these 100 people are lost in the crowd, people who are not familiar with them will not be able to see the slightest bit of cattiness even if they look at them for a long time.
"Subordinate Wen Cunyi to meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
The middle-aged man was Wen Cunyi, who went to Youning Courtyard a few days ago to deliver the Guanzhong file.
"My subordinates meet the general."
Unlike Wen Cunyi, the more than 100 spies did not call Xu Zhen His Royal Highness the King of Jin.
On the contrary, as if he was still in the army, he was commensurate with a general.
