247 Danger lurks
When the topic brings to regret, there will be a lot more to think about than to say.
In particular, Lin Yuner gave Xu Huabiao another blow, "What do I say".
On this day, I can't talk about it.
Quietly, the two returned to the inn, and also saw Zheng Yilin and Li Juli, who had been busy since they entered the city at noon, and had just been idle.
The two also began to report to Xu Huabiao what happened in the afternoon.
After entering the city, the two first sorted out the gift list, and put the gifts into the warehouse with Li Xiuman's subordinates, the three carriages originally didn't take long, but because they were all strange things that Xu Huabiao brought from Luoyang, they did this work for a full hour and a half.
After that, they entered the palace with the checked gift list and met the Son of Heaven.
Zheng Yilin also presented a handwritten letter written by Zhou Jieqiong herself, except for the words, and the content of the letter had nothing to do with her.
These jobs were originally supposed to be done by Xu Huabiao, the "right envoy", but considering the relationship between Xu Huabiao and the Son of Heaven, in the end, all of them were done by Zheng Yilin.
She's doing pretty well, too.
sincerely conveyed to His Majesty how much Zhou Jieqiong missed her brother, and how sorry she was for some things that happened before, and how happy she is now......
In the words of Li Juli, who watched the whole process as a deputy next to her, even she was moved.
As for the Son of Heaven...... I cried even more.
It took a while for him to calm down and say that as long as his sister is happy, everything will be fine.
Then he gave an order to the chamberlain with emotion and gave Zhou Jieqiong a lot of things. After that, Zheng Yilin and Li Juli left the palace again, returned to the place where they had just "unloaded", and began to load the return gift of the Son of Heaven on the carriage.
They brought three wagons of things, and then they had to load three wagons of things back.
"It's really not a loss!" Hearing this, Lin Yun'er laughed, "I brought three carts of things and changed three carts to go back." ”
"What does it mean not to lose! When the Son of Heaven sees the ministers who come to see him, the gifts are all to be doubled, okay! ”
"Huh? What? ”
"We brought three carts of things, and Your Majesty has to give back at least six carts so that we can not lose money!" Xu Huabiao explained in detail, "Three cars...... Well, our Majesty is indeed living on a tight budget. ”
“……”
Zheng Yilin glanced at Li Juli.
Li Juli was also speechless.
When did this rule come into being? Who came up with it!
I'm afraid that only Lord Taishou will do this kind of loss-making business!
"So, the Son of Heaven said that he would summon me tomorrow?" Xu Huabiao was very relieved to see that his two subordinates were dissatisfied with his statement.
Oh, yes! The Heavenly Empire or something, this kind of thinking is unacceptable!
There's meat to rot in the pot! Use this kind of loss-making business to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, what is the picture!
If Zheng Yilin thinks that what Xu Huabiao said is right, Xu Huabiao will have to replace the Ministry of Rites when she goes back to Luoyang.
"Yes, there should be a reward." Zheng Yilin didn't know that she had just experienced the biggest test since she took office, and replied with a serious face: "It should be an official position or something like that......"
"I'm already a captain, can my official position be higher? No matter how high it is, isn't it the prime minister? Don't make a fuss! Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "I don't want to compete with Li Xiuman for an official position." ”
"It's hard to say about this specific subordinate." Zheng Yilin shook her head, "But today's situation seems that the Son of Heaven should no longer think about Gong Gong to balance Li Xiuman." Your Majesty also hopes that the princess can live a stable and happy life. ”
"It's better to do that. The affairs of the heavenly family ......" Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head.
"Lord, let's go back to Luoyang early tomorrow morning." Li Juli, who hadn't spoken much, interjected and came in: "Staying here in Xuchang, our situation is actually a bit embarrassing. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"Today, His Majesty wants to confer an official position on us, and we don't dare to refuse......" Li Juli glanced at Zheng Yilin.
"Oh? Official? Wouldn't that be nice! Xu Huabiao was happy, "Do you still want to keep you by his side as a close minister of the Son of Heaven?" ”
"We all prefer to go back to Luoyang." Li Juli said immediately. "What's more, I was originally under Kim Kwang-so...... The identity is very embarrassing. ”
Zheng Yilin also nodded.
"Actually, even if you stay in Xuchang, I won't blame you...... But if that's the case, then you can go tomorrow. ”
"Yes." Li Juli responded.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
A guest in an inn, push the door in.
"Lord Lieutenant, there is a guest visiting."
"Guests? Who is this big night? Lin Yun'er, who was really quiet from beginning to end next to her, finally spoke.
"Doctor Ahn Joon-young." The greeter replied immediately.
"Ahn Jun-young? What is he looking for me to do? Xu Huabiao was stunned.
"Childe knows this person?"
"Oh, the original Huiji Taishou came to Xuchang after I persuaded him to surrender." Xu Huabiao explained.
"Oh, then you can't see him?"
“…… Let's meet. Xu Huabiao nodded at the greeting.
"Then we'll go down first." Zheng Yilin stood up.
Xu Huabiao was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Well, that's right, Zheng Yilin and him should be old friends, and it may be a little embarrassing to meet.
……
"Lord Xu, after a long time outside the city of Wu County, my lord is still as heroic as ever!"
“…… Don't say that, Lord An. Xu Huabiao couldn't adapt to An Junying's way of greeting, and smiled awkwardly. Adults have returned to the Central Plains from Huiji, but are you still used to it? ”
"What's not used to? Xuchang ...... Although it is not Luoyang, but to be here, to serve the Son of Heaven nearby, what else can you ask for? ”
"It's great that adults can think like that." Xu Huabiao smiled.
Embarrassed.
Xu Huabiao has no ability to talk awkwardly.
I knew that Zheng Yilin should be allowed to stay! Xu Huabiao regretted it a little.
It was quiet for a while.
"I'm here today to ask Mr. Xu for help."
Ahn Jun-young finally spoke.
If he opened his mouth, Xu Huabiao wanted to complain about him.
Still, forbearance.
"I don't understand what Lord An Junying said, do you need anything from me?"
"That's right, some time ago, in Huiji, my old department Li Hairen sent a letter to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to recruit Li Cailin to Xuchang ......"
"Lee Hae-in?" Xu Huabiao thought for a while, "I don't seem to have seen her." ”
"Oh, when we met outside Wu County before, Li Hairen was the one I arranged to stay behind." An Junying shook her head, "After I left Huiji, she played under Li Cailin with Kim Se-jeong and Lee Sae-lun. ”
Then why did she suddenly remember to give a book to the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven clean up Li Cailin? What does she want to do? ”
"I don't know about that either. Maybe he thinks that Shanyue has almost calmed down, and Li Cailin can also drive it away? Ahn Junying sighed.
“…… Then, Your Majesty asked you if you want to recruit Li Cailin into Xuchang? ”
"Nope." An Junying shook her head, "But the Prime Minister asked me why I went back to Xuchang alone, and my old deployment was left in Yangzhou." ”
“…… I see! Xu Huabiao smiled.
"So, please help me once!" An Junying looked serious, knelt down in front of Xu Huabiao.
"You just tell the prime minister honestly, those people are willing to stay in Jiangdong because they can't leave their homeland, the prime minister should understand, you don't need to come here, right?"
"If the prime minister suspects that there is a connection between me and Li Cailin...... I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Xuchang! Ahn Junying smiled bitterly.
"It's not that much of a sin, is it? It's just some old subordinates, so it shouldn't have any effect. ”
"Your Excellency, you may not know yet...... Recently, many people in Xuchang have been in contact with Hebei, so ......"
"Hebei?" Xu Huabiao was stunned.
Be quiet.
It's been a while.
"I know, I can help you talk to Li Xiuman when I get a chance." Xu Huabiao nodded.
"Thank you very much." An Junying threw Xu Huabiao to the ground with a long slam.
……
"Childe, why did your expression suddenly become so serious?"
Looking at Tie Qing's face after Xu Huabiao sent An Junying away, Lin Yun'er suddenly became a little worried.
"Nothing...... It is...... Well. ”
"It's inconvenient to tell me?"
"It's nothing, it's just ...... Do you remember the story I told you before, there was a burning nest......
"Oh, the Battle of Guandu." Lin Yun'er nodded, "I'm very impressed!" You said that Li Xiuman and Li Yanhao would have a big fight in Guandu...... Yes!! Are you saying the battle is about to be fought? ”
"Looks like so!"
Xu Huabiao let out a long sigh.
