Chapter 404: Seeing the Emperor

Zhao Tan walked all the way to the gate of Yanfu Palace, where two little eunuchs were standing, and he asked, "Where is the official family?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Humble and lead the way for the prince." ”

Zhao Ta nodded, followed the little eunuch to the front of the Chengping Palace, and then went in to report, and came out in a moment: "Lord Wang, the official family let the Lord in." ”

Zhao Ta looked at the lattice of the Chengping Palace, and in his impression that Emperor Daojun rarely came to this hall, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Who is inside?" ”

The little eunuch said: "Back to the prince, Li Xianggong is here, and Cai Tongzhi is there." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Li Bangyan and Cai You? ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said yes.

Zhao Ta thought about it, although these two are high and powerful, they don't have anything serious to do, they just entered the palace to have fun with Emperor Daojun, and they don't know what tricks they came up with today.

What he wants to talk about now is family affairs, so that these two are not good to hear, although both are at odds with Cai Jing, Li Bangyan does not need to say it, he hates Cai Jing for monopolizing power, as for Cai You, the eldest son of the Cai family, he has recently impeached his third brother Cai Cheng one after another, and even implored Emperor Daojun to execute Cai Chong, and he has reached the point of intolerability with the Cai family.

But since you are here, there is no reason to go back, go in and take a look, if the family is not a family matter, let the two hear that even if it is not good, they can knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and the news will be passed out by the two, so that the Cai family knows their attitude.

Entering the gate of Chengping Palace, I saw that the lights were bright inside, although it was still daylight outside, but there were many fire candles lit in the hall, and Emperor Daojun was sitting behind the desk and laughing back and forth.

Looking at the front of the hall, Li Bangyan was wearing a tiger skin, wearing a tiger hat, and a long tiger tail behind him, pretending to be a big insect and roaring softly on the ground.

Zhao Ta was shocked at once, not to mention that it was really a little vivid, this Li Bangyan had seen a real tiger, and his voice was imitated similarly, and the prodigal prime minister really lived up to his reputation.

But even if it's like it again, after all, you are the right prime minister of the dynasty, acting like this, pleasing the king, what kind of system will you become?

Zhao Ta frowned, and when Li Bangyan on the ground saw him enter the door, he didn't get up to salute, but still made a tiger shape, and used three tricks in a row: fluttering, lifting, and cutting, as if to show off and flatter, I don't know what method to use, and the tiger's tail "snapped" on the ground.

Zhao Tan smiled angrily, this is really a waste of the Tang Dynasty, and he is not afraid of the future history books that will leave a stench for 10,000 years?

This Li Bangyan has a criminal record, and it is not the first time that he has made a fool of himself and invited pets.

He was born in a silversmith's family in Huaizhou, the family has property, born beautiful, young and dignified, influenced by his father Li Pu, since he was a child, he likes poetry and writing, is good at traveling, often calls friends to eat and drink at home, and is good at giving alms, which is more similar to Song Jiang.

It's just that Song Jiang is in contact with all the heroes of the green forest and thieves in the rivers and lakes, and this Li Bangyan is a scholar in the Han Dynasty.

Whenever there is a person who needs to be helped to take the exam in Beijing, he will be generous, so whoever lifts people from Hedong into Beijing will definitely visit him through Huaizhou, if he wants to buy something, Li Bangyan and his father Li Pu will immediately stop what they are doing to help each other prepare, and also subsidize the travel expenses, so his reputation gradually rises.

Later, the Han Shi who had been relieved by him was promoted, and when he thought of his benefits, he thought about reciprocating, and these people calculated together, and they actually worked together to recommend him to Taixue.

He borrowed this kind of network to walk in Tokyo, and he went all the way, and in the second year of Daguan, Emperor Daojun gave him the rank of Jinshi and the first, and appointed him as the secretary of the provincial school, and tried to serve as Fu Baolang, and since then he has officially entered the official career.

This man grew up in the folk market, and was familiar with indecent things, and he has always been quick to answer, good at acting, and behaving in a dissolute manner.

He likes to bow, his footwork is delicate, and he has a variety of patterns, which is no less than the high level of his youth.

He also likes to write meat jokes and songs, but whenever he writes a new joke, there will be a Qinglou to buy it, and go back to let the sisters sing it to the guests, all of them are applauded.

He often compiled the market sayings into lyrics and songs, and people vied with each other to spread them.

Li Bangyan is beautiful, Emperor Daojun eats this set, so he is favored, every time he has a banquet in the palace, he will make a cameo appearance as an advocate of excellence, and gag at the banquet.

Once, when he had just been promoted to Shaozai, Emperor Daojun held a big banquet, and he painted Shengxuan into a dragon in advance, that is, on a thin and transparent silk, he painted a pattern in the shape of a flying dragon, made a tight garment, and wore it with flesh, pretending to make tattoos, and prepared to perform acrobatics in the banquet.

After the three rounds of drinking, Wang Hao came on the stage first, his face was painted red, he was wearing a short shirt and narrow pants, he was completely a harlequin disguise, and he performed with the dwarfs, and Emperor Daojun was very excited.

When he saw that the time was ripe, he immediately jumped out and pretended to be a street drunkard, and he vividly performed the drunkard's drunken ugliness, which made Emperor Daojun laugh.

He then became more and more energetic, and even learned to be a drunkard and undressed, and the appearance of undressing was no different from that of a real drunkard, and then twisted his graceful waist, mixed with all kinds of provocative movements such as throwing flattering eyes, shaking his hips, lifting his hips, and hooking his little finger, "declaring the tattoo, and then making a smug speech", everyone was shocked, and then laughed, and the Daojun Emperor couldn't laugh anymore.

But this took off, revealing a fake tattoo, although it was a thin layer of silk, Emperor Daojun also felt that it was a little too unreasonable, and with the strength of wine, he picked up the guard of honor and stick next to him, and shouted: "Drunkard scoundrel, you should be beaten!"

This Li Bangyan ran in front, Emperor Daojun chased behind with a stick, and the ministers laughed non-stop, which was really lively.

Emperor Daojun asked him to wear clothes while chasing, but Li Bangyan didn't wear them, and ran around the courtiers.

For a while, scolding, laughter, fighting, and screaming sounds...... One after another.

When the trouble was almost over, Li Bangyan fled to the bottom of the porch, climbed the beams and pillars, climbed up like a monkey, and then begged Emperor Daojun for mercy.

Emperor Daojun was tired of running, and ordered the eunuch to pass the decree: "You can come down!" ”

At this time, Empress Zheng and the concubines came from the apse, heard laughter, and didn't know what was going on, so they came in to watch.

The scene in front of her suddenly made Empress Zheng almost blow up her lungs, and said angrily: "What kind of system, come down!" “

When Emperor Daojun saw Empress Zheng coming, he couldn't get over it, and said, "Come down, come down." ”

Li Bangyan was not ashamed on the beam, and he was still amorous, and he smiled and chanted to Emperor Daojun: "Huang Ying peeked at it and didn't dare to go down the branches." ”

Empress Zheng was so angry that her face turned pale and trembled, and she pointed at Li Bangyan and scolded: "The prime minister is like this, how to govern the world." ”

Seeing that the queen was so angry, the ministers didn't dare to laugh, and the palace suddenly quieted down, Zhang Di threw his clothes to Li Bangyan, and Li Bangyan put them on with a red face.

But after this incident, Li Bangyan did not think it was resentful, but was proud, and still went his own way, and was called the prodigal prime minister by the people for a while, and interacted with Wang Huang, the golden haired prime minister, in pairs.

Zhao Ta saw that he was quite an image of Xuehu at the moment, and he didn't know whether to praise it or ridicule it, so he heard Emperor Daojun laugh in front of him: "Second brother must have seen a real big worm, and he looks like a scholar?" ”

Zhao Ta looked at Li Bangyan on the ground, Li Bangyan listened to Emperor Daojun's words, and became more energetic, and then made a probe to probe his brain, Zhao Ta smiled and said: "The child has killed a real big worm, and Li Xianggong's pretence is the same as the real one, that is, it is much smaller than the child who killed the one." ”

Li Bangyan had a quick mind, heard this, and immediately came to the idea, made a frightened look, retreated timidly, and finally hit the pillar with his buttocks, "whooped", turned around and pretended to go up the pillar to escape, but how can the tiger go up the tree to compare to the cat, it is only about a zhang up, and it is difficult to climb, Li Bangyan "woo", he fell down, and then turned his feet to the sky, and kept wailing.

Emperor Daojun couldn't breathe with laughter when he saw this, Zhao Ta touched it, thinking that this Li Bangyan is really condescending to be the prime minister, it is better to pull it to his own drama team, he can write and act, and it won't be long before he becomes popular!

Emperor Daojun didn't ask Zhao Ta what he was doing, so he asked him to sit down, and then ordered Gong'e to serve wine and food, and after Zhao Ta drank a glass, Cai You went out to sing.

Cai You's song was also composed by Li Bangyan, the name is Fighting the Tiger and Going Up the Mountain, singing to the excitement, and I don't know where to pull out a stick, and the two actually fought in the palace.

Although it is a fake fight, it is quite good-looking, and it has passed unconsciously for a while.

Then the two of them were tired, confessed and returned to their seats, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Emperor Daojun remembered that Zhao Ta actually came over, looked at him and said, "What happened to the second brother entering the palace?" ”

Zhao Ta got up and said, "Daddy, the child has one thing to discuss with his father. ”

Emperor Daojun wondered, "Let's listen to it." ”

Zhao Ta said: "The child heard that his father gave Emperor Maode to marry Cai Yan of the Cai family, and the child felt that this matter was inappropriate. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Cai You next to him didn't care about being tired and sweating just now, and hurriedly got up and said: "Official, the minister also thinks it's inappropriate, Cai Ying's kid is an embroidered pillow, he doesn't learn and has no skills on weekdays, and he attracts bees and butterflies, how can he be worthy of God's concubine." ”

Emperor Daojun pondered: "If you are not allowed to match Cai Ying, then who is you to match?" Does the second brother have a good choice in his heart? ”

Zhao Ta was stunned, what is this? This is in a hurry to marry Fujin, not to marry Cai Ying, if there is a suitable candidate on his side, Emperor Daojun may agree to change him.

He was completely unprepared in his heart, and said in amazement: "Daddy, there are no suitable young talents here, but you can look for them slowly, Fujin is not very old, and he is not in a hurry at this moment." ”

Emperor Daojun said indifferently: "Since you don't have a candidate in your heart, then Cai Ying, the edict has already been issued, how can you easily regret it, wouldn't that lose the royal majesty?" At the end of the year, they will be married. ”

Zhao Ta became more and more puzzled in his heart, how could Emperor Daojun say such a tone, like sending a kitten and a puppy, is this still the most beloved daughter?

He said: "Daddy, the child thinks that Fujin is still young, even if she gets married, she is not in a hurry for this year and a half, and it is not too late to set it when she has something that meets her wishes." ”

Emperor Daojun drank a glass of wine, looked at him and said: "Since the second brother cares about Fujin so much, go to find her a satisfactory mother-in-law, and if you find me, you will re-marry, if you can't find it, then it's so decided, the male should marry, the female should marry, didn't you forget the letter of Zongzheng Temple reprimanding you?" ”

Zhao Ta thought to himself, how can this be confused? Zongzheng Temple will not force the emperor to marry, but will only force the prince to marry, but the attitude of Emperor Daojun who doesn't care makes him know how to say it, this is an iron heart to marry Fujin as soon as possible.

However, this is also a great concession, after all, if his family finds a satisfactory in-law for Fujin, Emperor Daojun will agree to re-marry.

But this ...... For a while, where to find someone for him, he didn't prepare anything, and he didn't know what Fujin liked, so he couldn't go from Xungui to the minister's house and look for them one by one, right?

Emperor Daojun looked at him with an embarrassed face and said thoughtfully: "The second brother has already married a two-room side room, so I don't know if the concubine has a whereabouts?" Since you think that Fujin and Cai Yan are not compatible, then go and find a good portal for Fujin, and solve your own affairs by the way! ”

Zhao Ta said sarcastically: "The child obeys the order, and the child retires......"

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the gate of Chengping Palace, the more he thought about it, the more headache he had, he didn't say that he was in charge of everything now, but there were also a lot of things to be busy, and where did he have time to go door to door to find a suitable husband for Fujin? It seems that it is better to ask in person what kind of Fujin wants than to find it blindly without a goal.

He thought as he walked, went to the palace Fujin's residence, saw Fujin and Zhao Hu'er were sitting and eating melon seeds, saw him coming, and let him eat it, but it was watermelon seeds, Zhao Ta didn't like it, chewed a few pieces of dim sum, and told him what happened to Emperor Daojun, and then asked Fujin what conditions he wanted.

Fujin listened very carefully, and then said: "Second brother, it's not a condition, I never thought about getting married." ”

Zhao Ta shook his head: "This can't help you, my father said, if I can't choose a suitable one for you, I will marry Cai Yan at the end of the year." ”

Fujin was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and Zhao Hu'er next to him said loudly: "I have discussed it with the fifth sister, but the fifth sister will escape into the empty door and not marry!" ”

Zhao Ta stretched out a finger, pointed it on her little brain, pushed it back, and said with a smile: "You know what an empty door is!" ”

Zhao Hu'er was not convinced, and stretched out her hands to grab Zhao Ta, but the little short arms and legs didn't even touch the corners of Zhao Ta's clothes.

Zhao Ta said: "Fifth sister, think about it, otherwise, I will take the portraits of the sons of the Xungui family and the prince's family, and write down to you whether each has merit or not, and what you are good at, and you can choose it yourself." ”

Fujin looked at him and said, "Just second brother." ”

Zhao Ta looked at her and didn't eat the oil and salt, her little face was serious and expressionless, and she was helpless, he knew that Fujin was high-spirited, but this was not a solution, but since Emperor Daojun said that he would get married at the end of the year, he would wait and discuss it slowly.

Then he went out of the palace, and after returning to the house to discuss some things with Xiao Niang, he sent someone to call General Lu from the Broken Jade Building.

General Lu lost the game of chess, and he wanted to be a cow and a horse, but he also gained freedom, and he was looking for something to do at the moment, and he didn't want to mess with those bad guys in the building, so he hurried over.

Zhao Ta saw him in the study and said, "There are not many people under this king who read, and even fewer who are idle and free, you go and do something." ”

Lu Jiang was puzzled: "What do you have to read?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Go to the account to spend some silver, choose a place for this king, open a printing workshop, and then open a bookstore, and be a bookseller." ”
