Chapter 40: Leveraging Strength
Before the banquet began, the silk and bamboo started first.
Zhao Ta sat under Zhao Huan, and when he looked at it, he saw that except for three or two princes and princesses who were about the same age as his own, the rest were all drooping.
At this time, Zhao Gou and Zhao Fujin came to see the ceremony, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Gou were the same age, they were eleven or twelve years old, they were born with pink carving, and they were generous, Wan Fu said: "Second brother, why don't you go to see me?" ”
Zhao Ta said with a smile: "But I miss the little fifth sister, but there are many things outside, where you have to enter the palace when you have time, even your father's side is less coming, Fujin, you can go to my house to play when you are free." ”
Zhao Fujin stretched out his hand and beckoned to the side, but saw Zhao Hu'er jumping and running over, but he was only six or seven years old.
Zhao Ta stood up, Zhao Shan'er jumped suddenly, jumped into his arms and said, "Erguo, I miss you." ”
Zhao Ta hugged her and sat down and said, "Do you miss the second brother, or do you miss the second brother's rock candy?" ”
Zhao Hu'er said: "Niangniang told me that I want to say that I have thought about everything." ”
Zhao Ta laughed, Zhao Hu'er and Zhao Ta'er are the same mother, both from Empress Zheng, Zhao Hu'er is the youngest and the most loved.
At the beginning of the banquet, because it is a family banquet, the etiquette is quite loose, in addition to the wine in the table, there are all kinds of fruit wine, this dynasty has a lot of wine, but the degree is not high, for a time the big and small are all smoked and drunk.
After three rounds of food, Zhao Ta found an excuse to go out of the palace, he first found Zheng Fu, this little eunuch had served him in the palace, and he was close to him, and now he is working in Yanfu Palace, which is considered to be promoted.
Zhao Ta asked, "Can Zhang Di be on duty tonight?" ”
Zheng Fuli said: "Envoy Zhang has nothing to do tonight, and he should rest in the room." ”
Zhao Ta said: "Tell him to wait for me at the gate of the harem for an hour." ”
Zheng Fu didn't know what was going on, so he rushed to deliver the letter, Zhao Ta returned to the main hall of the East Palace, and made a lot of noise, and everyone dispersed.
Zhao Ta had something in his heart, and his feet were urgent, and when he came to the east gate of the palace, he saw a brain poking out from behind a pavilion, and whispered: "Second king, this way, this way." ”
Zhao Ta smiled slightly, and after turning to the pavilion, he saw that it was a young eunuch, this eunuch was wearing a red robe, with a feminine demeanor, and bowed his head and said: "Zhang Di has seen the second king." ”
Zhao Ta said: "Get up, Yu Benwang is still polite, and he has never been in contact." ”
Zhang Di got up and said respectfully: "I haven't seen the second king for a long time, the villain is worried in his heart, and I don't know how the second king is doing outside, the villain can't wait to fly out of the palace to serve." ”
Zhao Ta smiled when he heard this, this Zhang Di was also born in Tokyo before entering the palace, but unlike other idlers, he didn't play on the street, but he was mixed with Flower Street Willow Lane, and he was familiar with the prostitutes in Sweet Water Lane, even Fan Lou could hook up with one or two, during which he lived by introducing guests, and had the nickname of "Flower Tongue".
"Don't say this, you and I will be aggrieved if the official family blames you." Zhao Ta said: "It's not a matter for me to call you here, your own family is in danger but you don't know yet!" ”
Zhang Di exclaimed: "But how is it, I also taught the second king to save me." ”
Zhao Ta said: "The king of the court said everywhere, saying that you led the official's family to Fanlou to sleep, and lost the dignity of the court, and they all said that you were a thief!" ”
Zhang Di was stunned and said: "What is the matter, Li was introduced to the official family by Wang Huang Gao Yu at the beginning, why is it now framed against the villain?" ”
Zhao Ta smiled silently.
Zhang Di patted his head and said: "But yes, these villains accompany the official's family, serve left and right, and win the favor of the official's family, these two people are jealous villains." ”
Zhao Ta said: "You are a clever person. ”
Zhang Di said bitterly: "The villain is now the envoy of Yanfu Palace, and the official family is called, how dare he disobey." ”
Zhao Ta sighed: "But it's a dilemma, and now there are rumors among the people, if you really can't hold it, you will be the first to take the knife!" ”
When Zhang Di heard this, he fell down again: "Please also ask the second king to save me." ”
Zhao Ta shook his head: "What if you call this king, on the one hand, the royal decency, on the other hand, the father's favor, on the other hand, loyalty, on the other hand, filial piety, this king is also in a dilemma, remember your respect for this king, this king came to remind you, lest you die in vain and don't know why." ”
Zhang Di's eyes flickered on the ground, and he already hated Wang Huang Gao Yu in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "Second king, in fact, the little one has thought of a way before, maybe it can be avoided by others." ”
Zhao Ta said lightly: "How to say? ”
Zhang Di said: "The two kings know my roots, before entering the palace in the outside is to do matchmaking business, but only offended people have to enter the palace, the small one often listens to the nobles outside, there are those who are afraid of the inside of the patron thought of the way, is to dig a tunnel straight to the pavilion, the small heart is worried about the reputation of the official, pondering for a long time, only think that this method is feasible, always at the moment has not yet spoken, but unexpectedly the two people will harm me!" ”
Zhao Ta blinked, didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Di frowning and pondering.
"The two kings think this method is feasible?" Zhang Di was speechless and asked respectfully.
Zhao Ta said: "This king said, loyalty and filial piety dilemma, you have never heard of this method, and I have never seen you today, you are careful." ”
When Zhang Di heard this, he immediately kowtowed: "Thank you to the two kings for saving your life, and the villain swears to be a cow and a horse in return." ”
Zhao Ta nodded, turned around and left, only to take three or two steps and stopped, turned back and said: "Tokyo City is crisscrossed underground, there are many ditches, I heard that there is a ghost Fan Tower, there is dirt and dirt in it, and the murderers are dead, I don't know if there is also this palace city below, Zhang Di, you said that it was a collision...... Caution is required. ”
Zhang Di was stunned when he heard this, but said in an instant: "Thank you for reminding the second king, the villain has his own way to deal with this matter, and he can't say it...... Then I will have to work hard for the king. ”
Zhao Ta nodded: "It's good to know, it's good to know, and let's go." ”
He turned around and left, leaving only Zhang Di still kneeling on the ground, but his face was fierce, he slammed his fist on the ground, and said to himself: "Worry-free Cave, Huanxi Cave, I've had enough of you outside, this time Grandpa is going to overturn you all!" ”
Zhao Ta returned home, rested that night, went to the office on the second day, dealt with some insignificant official business, and went to the broken jade building in the afternoon.
In the underground secret room, Xu Ning has been sent home, and Zhu Xiaoyi is still tied to the pillar.
Seeing Zhao Ta's arrival, Huang Gu hurriedly took out a drawing for Zhao Ta to see, Zhao Ta looked at it twice and frowned, "There are so many people?" ”
It turned out that the map was densely packed, not only marked with many entrances and underground channels, but also with the approximate number of heads.
Huang Gu said: "This Zhu Xiaoyi hid his secrets, but his subordinates were retried, these numbers are only approximate, and he can't say what important locations are below." ”
Zhao Ta looked at it carefully, and said after a while: "I originally planned to contact the Seven Star Society and the Caiweaving Gate, and even the Jinfeng Hall also mediated to dig up this ghost Fan Tower, but it seems that it will not work at the moment, the territory below is so big, the hands of the four families are thrown in, and there will not be many scattered ones, and the enemy is bright and dark, I am afraid that it will not be good." ”
Huang Gu said: "Son, then there is only a need to transfer troops to kill, but I am afraid that the court will not allow it, even the official family will ......."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lei San hurriedly coming down from above and said, "Lord, someone from the palace is waiting in the palace, saying that it is the official family announcing the order to meet you." ”
