Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Invitation of the King of Qin and the King of Jin
"Back to Your Highness, the reason why the little one has heard of His Royal Highness King Yan and your name is that His Royal Highness the King of Jin and King Qin have sent people to inquire about Your Highness the little one, so the little one secretly wrote it down."
Zhang Youcai replied truthfully.
"King Qin and King Jin, what are they asking me about?"
Zhao Ding's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this.
His two half-brothers are different from the idle princes who have backers behind him, such as King Qi and Zhao Zhe.
Behind these two people stood a big nobleman.
Jin King Zhao Heng's mother is a concubine of Daqian Qian, and his grandfather is another powerful prince in the military in addition to Xu Tiande, the Duke of Weiguo - Qian Song, the Duke of Lu Guo, although he is the fifth son of his father Zhao Chongyuan, but he was named the title of prince, which is much more famous than him Zhao Ding in the government and the opposition.
As for Zhao Gang, the king of Qin, is the eldest son of his father Zhao Chongyuan, and his uncle Ye Liancheng is the second assistant of the old cabinet after the old Yang Fu of the old cabinet, and the official is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a scholar of Zuo Chunfang.
These two have always been eyeing the throne.
It's him, Zhao Dingyuan, who knows it in Youzhou.
But now these two people actually noticed themselves?
"Well, it's not interesting."
Zhao Ding was dumbfounded, and then rolled his eyes.
He really doesn't understand, what does it mean to be an emperor?
Work hard, work hard to death, if you don't do it well, you will destroy the country and destroy the species, what are you fighting for, isn't it fragrant to be a rich prince?
Between thoughts and thoughts.
Zhao Ding's eyes glanced towards the outside of the inn.
Sure enough, I saw two people running silently towards the outside of the post station.
"I don't know if it's small."
Zhang Youcai looked at Zhao Ding with an aggrieved expression.
"Okay, okay, go and prepare some wine and food for the prince, this silver will be used as wine money, for the prince and me, as well as the prince and my subordinates, get some of the best wine and good food in Yingtian, as for the rest, you can do it."
Zhao Ding waved his hand.
He really didn't bother to meddle in the affairs of the court.
Whoever likes to fight for it, anyway, he Zhao Ding is too lazy to get involved.
It's a big deal to come to a mercenary to stand on his own, anyway, with the current strength of Youzhou, it is enough to protect him Zhao Ding has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
"Yes."
As soon as Zhang Youcai heard Zhao Ding's words, he saw that Lu Tao had already pushed the silver on the table.
Immediately smiled.
I put the silver in my sleeve.
That's enough to pay him for a year.
As for whether it will be detected by the autumn inspection.
That's not a worry at all.
This is a bounty, and it does not go from the treasury, and he is not worried at all.
Looking at Zhang Youcai's excited face, Zhao Ding rolled his eyes and couldn't help but remind: "Zhang Youcai, you can have a snack, don't be sold, and help others count the money." ”
"Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Youcai looked at Zhao Ding with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Ding smiled and didn't speak.
Just the few people who went out silently just now, he estimated that this post house had already been planted with countless eyeliners.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Youcai is just a petty official after all, and no one cares about him.
Zhao Ding was too lazy to say.
Seeing that Zhao Ding didn't speak, although Zhang Youcai was puzzled, he didn't think much about it, so he walked towards the outside of the post house with two officials.
After seeing Zhang Youcai leave.
Zhang San suddenly looked at Zhao Ding with a solemn expression: "Lord Wang, what should we do next?" ”
"What can I do? What should I do, don't you want to eat seafood? Lord, I will wait until it gets dark, and I will take you to the inner city to eat seafood. ”
Zhao Dingwan smiled.
Yingtian Castle is divided into four castle walls: Miyagi, Imperial Castle, Seoseong, and Waiguo Castle.
The post house is in the outer city, and it is inhabited by ordinary people, as well as the families of petty officials and officials like Zhang Youcai, who are almost excluded from the Daqian court.
Although there are also green buildings such as fireworks and willow alleys, the quality is too poor.
A place where high-class seafood merchants like the Jiaofang Division gathered, it was only found in the inner city, that is, in the capital.
It was a place for the pleasure of dignitaries and dignitaries.
Of course, not everyone can eat seafood, and you have to go through the tea circle.
After all, people are businessmen.
It's not a street vendor, isn't it?
"Really, Lord Wang?"
As soon as he heard Zhao Ding's words, Zhang San suddenly became interested, and looked at Zhao Ding with two eyes and a glow.
"That's nature."
Zhao Ding rolled his eyes.
Leaning back on the cushions of the Taishi chair.
looked at this Yingtian from afar.
For the hegemony of the king, he Zhao Ding is not interested.
As long as you don't mess with him Zhao Ding.
It didn't take long.
Zhang Youcai walked in with someone carrying a bunch of good food.
Look at the orchid markings on the bamboo cage.
Zhao Ding could see it at a glance.
This is the mark of the best restaurant in Yingtian, Yanyun Building.
A table at Yanyun House is not cheap.
Looking at Zhang Youcai who was busy in the room again, Zhao Ding couldn't help but glance at this person more.
Unexpectedly, this little official was quite realistic, and he actually went to Yanyun Tower to buy food for him, a prince from other places.
It's a real person.
He is also a person with a sense of vision.
Know what to take and what not to take.
After all, the meal of this hundred people alone cost more than ninety and five percent of the two hundred taels of silver he Zhao Ding.
In this way, it seems that this one is not bad, he is a malleable person.
Zhao Ding secretly wrote down Zhang Youcai's name in his heart.
Maybe it will be useful in the future.
After personally setting up the meals for Zhao Ding and the guards that Zhao Ding brought.
Zhang Youcai took people down.
However, before Zhao Ding could move his chopsticks, he heard someone shouting outside.
"Inside is His Royal Highness King Yan, the small Qin Wangfu housekeeper Huang Wu, on the order of King Qin, invite King Yan to come into the mansion for a gathering."
"In the lower Jin Palace, the housekeeper Bian Gu, on the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, invites His Royal Highness King Yan to go to the Jin Palace, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin has already ordered someone to prepare His Royal Highness's favorite meals, waiting for His Royal Highness."
"Lord, what are you talking about, what are you coming?"
Listen to the shouting outside.
Zhang San put down his chopsticks, glanced outside, and said meaningfully.
"Keep eating, we'll go."
Zhao Ding lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard, and continued to eat the food cooked by Chef Yanyunlou that Zhang Youcai brought back for him.
For the wooing of King Qin and King Jin, he Zhao Ding was not interested.
Naturally, they didn't want to accept the invitation of the two of them.
Not to mention a housekeeper coming over.
And at the same time.
Outside the courtyard where Zhao Ding lives.
Two middle-aged men dressed as palace butlers.
Tilting his head, he looked into the courtyard.
Seeing that Zhao Ding did not respond in the courtyard.
The two of them looked at the guards guarding the door again, and asked with a flattering expression: "Two, can I let the two of you go in and see His Royal Highness King Yan?" ”
However, the two guards only glanced at each other.
directly took the words of the two as air, and still stood quietly outside the courtyard, blocking the way of the two.
