Chapter Eighty-Four: Playing with People
The sun is shining, and the dragon boy wearing a silver fox appears in the downtown of Pingkangfang. The two tall servants beside him, their eyes were vigilant, looking around.
This Pingkangfang was originally a jade chicken fang, but it was renamed because the founding emperor Zhao Luo missed Chang'an Pingkangfang in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At this time, Pingkangfang has developed into the largest place of wind and moon in the Northern Dynasties, and as far as the eye can see, the eyes are full of clothes and sideburns; Listen quietly and surround the warbler and swallow.
There is an endless stream of elegant guests here, and the ribbon fairies flutter by. The pavilions and pavilions are staggered, and the flower corridors and water pavilions are grinding. Known as the city that never sleeps, the beautiful scene of hanging lights and singing at night makes people forget to return.
Those wonderful programs in the evening made Long Gongzi fascinated, but because of his identity, he was busy with affairs and couldn't wait until the evening, which was a pity. And this dragon prince is Zhao Tian, the Bandung Emperor who visited Weifu privately, followed by Huang Dingtian and Lu Changxiao.
"That's so good!"
Long Gongzi held a nine-foot folding fan, beating it in the palm of his hand, looking at the nine-story red building of Wanhua Building, looking at the beauties that flashed by the window from time to time, Long Gongzi's eyes were full of joy. I just feel that this happiness is like a heavenly fairyland.
But after a while, he left Pingkangfang, because the purpose of his trip today was not here, but to go to Daoguangfang to see the Feng girl.
Long Gongzi came to the Feng family. The Feng family was shocked, and hurriedly introduced Long Live Lord into the inner room to block the news. But Zhao Tian said, everyone doesn't need to panic, the two thousand leopard riders in Daoguangfang are all my henchmen, and I'm afraid that someone will harm me?
Then the Feng family retreated, and only Zhao Tian and Feng Baochuan were left in the house.
Feng Baochuan's mother, Feng Gan, sat in the small pavilion outside the house, while Huang Lu and the two masters stood guard at the door of the house.
Vung Gan seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen today, and looked a little anxious. Not long after, the little eunuch Lu Shi came to the courtyard, holding the paperwork in his hand. Feng Ganshi looked at it, and it was the emperor's book of good fortune. Seeing this, Feng Gan was relieved.
Feng Ganshi invited Lu Shi to sit in the pavilion and served tea and snacks.
Feng Ganshi said: "I heard that the early dynasty canonized Concubine Tang as the queen today, but I don't know, when will the Ministry of Rites hold a ceremony for the queen?" ”
Lu Shi said: "Empress Tang said that at this time, Daliang was at war with Fanbang, and there were soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country every day, and she couldn't bear to play drums, so she was exempted from this ceremony." He also said that the money for the ceremony would be sent to the families of the martyrs to comfort those who had lost their sons, husbands, and fathers. ”
Feng Ganshi nodded and said, "Empress Tang really has a motherly demeanor, and the old body admires it. ”
Lu Shi nodded.
Feng Gan's hand twisted the silk handkerchief, and after thinking about it, he said: "I heard that after the canonization of the queen, the Meng family and the Ximen family raised the matter of the concubine at the same time?" ”
Lu Shidao: "According to the "Taiping Alliance", the four noble concubines of the harem should have Tang, Meng, Ximen and Daoguangfang. Now that Concubine Tang has been promoted to the queen, but the other concubines have not been found, of course the two of them have to play this matter. ”
Feng Ganshi said: "I don't know when the girls of the Meng family and the Ximen family will enter the palace?" ”
Lu Shi smiled and said, "Look at what the old lady said, it's as if we know everything." And the emperor said that this matter was left to the queen to arrange. Let's estimate that in the next few days, the queen will summon the girls of the Meng family and the Ximen family. Who exactly will be summoned and when will enter the palace, then we don't know. ”
Feng Gan ordered someone to fetch some gold and handed it to Lu Shi: "Who doesn't know that Gonggong Lu is the emperor's confidant, and he is the most shrewd person. Our family Baochuan is stupid, and when she enters the palace in the future, she will expect Gonggong Lu to take care of her. If the little girl does something wrong, you can give more guidance and help you deal with it. ”
Lu Shi pushed back three times, only saying that it was his duty to take care of his mother, but he couldn't resist Feng Gan's sincerity, and Lu Shi still accepted the gold.
Not long after, there was an ugly noise in the house, and it seemed that Emperor Wanlong had played Feng Baochuan to a high place. At first, the girl endured it, but then she couldn't help it, and the ugly voice was loud, and outsiders listened to it, which was slightly embarrassing.
Feng Ganshi felt even more embarrassed and restless, but refused to leave. The little eunuch Lu Shi was calm, because he had heard too much, and he was a eunuch, so he didn't react physically.
At this time, the most embarrassing ones were Huang Dingtian and Lu Changxiao standing at the door. These are two able-bodied people who are stimulated by sound and inevitably have an unstable mood.
To say that people who have practiced high-level internal skills are already extraordinary in concentration, but they can't stand up to the fact that they are still young and strong. Seeing that Huang and Lu were a little uneasy, Lu Shi glared at them, especially Lu Changxiao, who was Lu Shi's own brother.
In fact, the emperor had the intention to let Huang Lu and the others enter the palace like Xun Duoyu and Sun Buwu. It was Lu Shi who pleaded hard that the emperor dispelled this idea.
The reason why Lu Shi interceded was because he didn't want the Lu family to be wiped out.
And Huang Dingtian would not be willing to take that knife, because he had a girl in his heart, surnamed Han, known as the Black Widow.
In fact, she is not a widow, the girl has never been married at all, she is the illegitimate daughter of the demon monk Xuanku, but the demon monk does not recognize it, but she is included in the door, and she is considered the little sister of Huang Dingtian.
……
Zhao Meng, the king of Xu, came to the house of the king of Qi.
Zhao Changchun, the king of Qi, counted Zhao Meng a few words quite dissatisfied, because a few days ago, Zhao Meng suddenly broke into Qinghuafang and ordered a group of people to kneel down towards the imperial city.
"Good and decent, what kind of wilderness do you sow? Are you going to play prestige like this, with the consent of me and the emperor? If you annoy the Tang family, do you know what the consequences are? Fortunately, King Teng was present and knelt down, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain to Tang Qiong. ”
was counted, Zhao Meng didn't say a word, and Zhao Changchun didn't let him go, at this time the eunuch said, "Xiaohuadan is here", Zhao Changchun raised his legs and left, just let the prince Zhao Lian accompany Zhao Meng.
Zhao Lian looked behind Zhao Meng, a little eunuch with a raw face.
I don't know how this little eunuch did it, he put on makeup like a woman, made a big white face, and smeared blood makeup, and looked at this awkwardness.
However, at this time, there was an evil wind in the Northern Dynasty, and the handsome man began to become popular. Even among the people Zhao Lian knows, there are people who love this. For example, Tang Dian, the twelfth son of the Tang family, and Han Xiu, the fifth son of the Han family, all have this habit of breaking sleeves.
Zhao Lian rolled his eyes, thinking that Zhao Meng was also so good, and smiled.
How did Zhao Lian know that the little eunuch was Zhang Cong. It's just that at this time, he has changed his name to Yuan Kun.
It is said that Yuan Kun can enter the palace and become the confidant of the Empress Dowager Han, which is also related to King Yu. King Yu left the palace at the age of twelve, and saw him dying of hunger on the road, and a sentence from His Royal Highness King Yu saved him.
"I said, Mengdi, what are you doing at my house? Meditation? Why don't you say a word? ”
Zhao Meng said: "I think Emperor Wanlong is a Ming monarch, and he will open up a prosperous era, unify Shenzhou, and create a foundation for all generations." ”
Zhao Lian blinked: "Are you sick?" ”
Zhao Meng stood up: "I'm not sick, I'm just saying something from the bottom of my heart." ”
After that, Zhao Meng bowed to Zhao Lian very humbly. Zhao Lian hurriedly got up and returned the salute. After the ceremony, Zhao Lian didn't have time to say anything, Zhao Meng had already turned around and left.
Zhao Lian said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhao Meng, you weren't like this before. If there is anything to say, our cousins are all talking from the bottom of their hearts. What's wrong with it now, can't you talk to me properly? Co-author, you also want to be like Zhao Tian, thinking about playing with people all day long? But I still advise you, some abilities are born and cannot be imitated. It's like reading and practicing martial arts, which one doesn't look at talent? We don't have that kind of talent, and we can't work hard. I have a headache when I read a book, and it is even more troublesome to endorse it. But that Zhao Tian can memorize the book after reading it a few times. How do we compare ourselves to him? ”
Zhao Meng stood still and said, "How dare I compare with the emperor?" I just want everyone to know that I admire Emperor Wanlong, and I admire him so much. Other than that...... I also want to advise you......"
Zhao Meng, the king of Xu, was just about to say something persuasive, but Yuan Kun pulled his sleeve. Zhao Meng's words came to his mouth, swallowed again, and left with a shake of the sleeves of his robe.
Zhao Tian, the Emperor of Wanlong, is extremely talented, and among the princes, no one is smarter than him. But this guy's fault is inversely proportional to his cleverness.
He doesn't like what others like to play, such as keju, polo, crickets, etc., and after two or three plays, he loses interest. He thinks that talent is the most fun. What to play, not as interesting as playing people. It's a lot of fun.
At this time, he was hugging the panting and pampered Feng Baochuan and said: It is said that it is difficult to govern the country, but in my opinion, it is not difficult. Governing the country is actually governing people. And I think it's a pleasure to heal people. The intrigue between the courtiers is what I like to see the most. If they don't fight, then it's trouble.
sighed because of national events, and he began to tease Feng Baochuan again, and in three sentences or two, he talked about Tang Mei.
Feng Baochuan said: "I heard that Tang Mei dared to refuse to have sex with the saint." ”
This is Zhao Tian's hidden pain.
Zhao Tian said: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, how dare she refuse me?" I'm telling you explicitly, she's been mine for a long time. It's just that I don't like her, so I don't enter the palace. And now I'm going to punish her. Didn't he dislike that son-in-law? Well, I want her to marry that son-in-law. If she likes the son-in-law, I want to separate them. In the end, I want them to be inseparable, and they can't get together. ”
……
Governor's Office, Mei Pavilion.
At the end of breakfast, Tang Mei sat on the couch. Su Bottle got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tang Mei.
"Longyou news that the Sangla people have retreated to Shancheng and sent envoys to ask for peace talks. Willing to return the four counties of Hexi. The teams of the eldest brother Tang Qian, the second brother Tang Kun, and the third brother Tang Ding have already entered the four counties. It seems that the war ended sooner than we thought. ”
Su Bottled said: "This is really good news. ”
Tang Mei smiled proudly and asked seriously, "I hope that you will complete the third marriage proposal as soon as possible." ”
Su Bottle was silent.
Tang Mei looked disgusted: "Don't you think the last marriage proposal was too perfunctory?" You asked Feng Die and her mother to buy some raisins and send them over, even if you proposed marriage? I'm not afraid to let the two side concubines see the joke. ”
Su Bottle spread his hands: "I'm poor." ”
Tang Mei had a cold face, took out ten taels of silver and put them on the table.
