Chapter 140: Catching the Wind

It's the familiar Yanziji again, but unlike last time, this time it's the three sons of King Yan, and there are many fewer guards than last time.

The guards of less than 200 people were less than a building ship, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui helped Zhu Gaochi down the deck, and at a glance saw the figure in green shirts standing on the pier.

What happened in Jinling, the father had already told them, and the father's current state of mind, they had more or less guessed because they were the same family, so they didn't put up any shelf about the person in front of them who was almost one of the most trusted people by the father now.

Zhu Gaochi's somewhat fat face was covered with beads of sweat, and he walked very staggeringly, glancing at a few sparse officials sent by the imperial court to greet him, Zhu Gaochi smiled: "A little cold... What is the situation in Jinling? ”

"There are good things and bad things, but after all, there are more bad things," Gu Huai also smiled, "It's hard all the way." ”

"It's not as hard as you work in Jinling," Zhu Gaochi said sincerely, "Opening my mouth in Qingfeng Tower that night was really one of the most correct decisions I made." ”

This style of Corporal Lixian is really easy to make people feel good, no wonder the person in front of him will be nicknamed "Renzong" in the future... Gu Huai made a joke:

"It's not conclusive yet, you should know about Jinyiwei's permission to me for a thousand households, but you may not have heard about my entry into the palace today."

Zhu Gaochi's smile froze: "Face saint? ”

"Ask some princes about their lawlessness, whether they have any objections or anything like that, and I also gave an example of Ge Cheng to tell me that there is a future for following the court," Jiang Feng blew Gu Huai's green shirt, his expression was a little joking: "The only difference is that Your Majesty may not scare Ge Cheng as much as he scared me." ”

Zhu Gaoxi frowned: "What did you say?" ”

"If I say that the prince is not abnormal, you won't be able to see me now."

"You..."

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand: "Second brother, don't get excited, what else is there to think about this kind of thing?" The actions of the imperial court are not a day or two. ”

There was not the slightest doubt in his eyes: "Father asked us to listen to you, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's hard to say," Gu Huai shook his head, "There are still a few days left on the first emperor's death day, and you can't do anything in these days, so you might as well take a good rest." ”

He looked at the Yangtze River heading east, and his green shirt fluttered: "After all... You may not get a break. ”

......

Approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, there are naturally more banquets in Jinling City, and there are many nobles who go out to swim in the brocade account by the river, and the major restaurants in the city have also ushered in one of the best days of the year.

As one of the largest restaurants in Jinling City, the consumption specifications of Yuelai Building are naturally not affordable by ordinary people, there are few people in the hall on the first floor, and most of the people who can come to this banquet are some princes and nobles, official eunuchs, who will choose to eat on the first floor? Most of them went to the private room on the second floor, and three or five friends raised a glass to taste the food, and the vassal and elegant may chant some poems on the spot, and let the store take pen and ink to write on the wall - of course, if the identity is not as high as the previous inscription, it is natural to write lower, but to leave traces on this wall full of Jinling bigwigs to leave poems, it is already a thing that many officials are tired of.

Such a complex naturally makes the signboard of Yuelailou more and more loud, becoming the first choice for banquets of rich and noble families, and the shopkeeper naturally has to be a very clever character, if he is too snobbish and accidentally offends a nobleman who is not amazing, then Yuelailou's business will be difficult to do.

The sun is slanting in the west, and a group of people entered the restaurant, the three young people in the lead are tall, short, fat and thin, and there is a scholar in a green shirt standing next to him.

On the second floor, the Tianzi private room was rented out today, but fortunately, the guests didn't care, they ordered some signature dishes at random, and chatted with the river breeze on the railing, and the shopkeeper withdrew, and told the little guy to be attentive, so he was ready to go to the back kitchen to urge the meal.

After walking two steps, I heard a burst of laughter from the guests in the Tianzi private room, although there are partitions between the boxes, but there is no screen on the summer balcony, so that the guests can enjoy the river view, this laughter and conversation are somewhat unobstructed.

"I heard that not long after King Yan went back, he committed madness? Wrapped in a quilt in the summer, I kept shouting cold..."

"Hey, just pretending to be crazy, such a simple thing, Brother Mingdao can't see it? Just make a show for the court. ”

"Not really... The dust has settled on the King of Xiang, how can King Yan be as good as the bird with a frightened bow? King Xiang'er... I'm a little curious about what kind of nickname the court will give King Yan. ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, there are many people, and it's not easy to say this clearly. ”

"The meaning of the court is well known to passers-by, why not say? The people are now spreading that the king of Yan is arrogant and domineering, does not worship the saint, raises private soldiers, speaks wildly, and the anti-intention is clearly revealed, the court is afraid that it will be done recently, what is there to be afraid of? ”

"It's true... Come, drink first, don't talk about anything else! ”

"Please!"

The shopkeeper in the corridor listened quietly for a moment, and sighed a little, the identity of a group of young people in the room is not simple, they all said so, I am afraid that the king of Yan is really...

He shook his head and "pedaled" downstairs.

In the box next door, Zhu Gaochi and Gu Huai, who also heard these words, fell silent together.

Zhu Gaoxi, who was still scolding those officials of the Ministry of Rites who hurriedly said goodbye to the city just now, turned red and dropped his wine glass: "Damn! In broad daylight, criticize the vassal king, these people are so bold! ”

He rolled up his sleeves: "I'm going to go and see who are the people next door!" ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and shouted: "Shut up!" Something is going to cause trouble! Have you forgotten what your father told you before you left? ”

He waved a guard and whispered a few words, and after a few moments, the guard re-entered the box and revealed the identities of the men next door.

The son of the Duke of the Kingdom, the son of the Shangshu... The most unfortunate is also the son of a four-grade master.

It turned out to be a gentleman in Jinling City.

Originally, Zhu Gaochi and the three of them, who just wanted to drink a drink, all looked gloomy, they really couldn't think of it... Even if the imperial court is so targeted at the vassal king, now even the people and officials have such a low opinion of the vassal king.

But these people are talking about their father... And they didn't dare to go over to them for trouble.

"Not necessarily," Gu Huai, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "It's just a coincidence... There are some things you can do before you enter the palace. ”

Because of the matter of entering the palace to face the saint, Zhu Gaoxi, who didn't give Gu Huai a good face today, frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Huai put down the wine glass and said lightly: "When the prince entered Jinling, he asked me what to do, and I said that it would be good to be arrogant." ”

"Actually, you can too."
