15 Chapter 15

The next day, Fang Linyuan went to Honglu Temple again to get busy.

When the Turks entered Beijing, the guards, the guard of honor, the martial law, the roads, and the food and drink arranged by the Shangshan Supervisor were all in order, and Fang Linyuan personally went to inspect them everywhere during these days, and there were basically no mistakes.

The messengers of the official post also came and went several times.

Every time the Turks passed through a town, they would come to Beijing to report. Only the day before, a messenger came, saying that Naren Timur and his entourage had already passed Yuzhou, and in three days, they would be able to arrive in Beijing.

Now only the officials who left the city to meet the Turkic envoys have not yet been decided.

"Then needless to say, it must be Master Hou!" Yu Tao said with a smile. "Except for Master Hou, who can suppress the group of vicious wolves in the Northland?"

After the day's work, Yu Tao carried the cakes made in his dining room and went to Fang Linyuan's table to gossip.

"That's it. Lord Yu didn't see him in the capital, and on the day Hou Ye seized Yumen Pass, Shengsheng led the troops to chase Naren Timur out of more than a hundred miles! Zhuo Fangyou also came over, and said in a colorful voice while sharing the snacks in Tao's hand.

"When Naren Timur fled, he lost even his belongings. We followed Master Hou and picked up the cattle and sheep jewelry all the way, and when we arrived at Luerhai, we also picked up the two concubines he left behind! ”

At this time, when it was close to Wu, many of the officials of Honglu Temple were idle, and they were familiar with Fang Linyuan these days, and they were all in their respective positions at this time, listening with great interest.

An official asked: "Since they have all chased out of a hundred miles, why didn't Master Hou also divide that territory to my Daxuan?" ”

"Isn't this a forcible seizure of other people's territory?" There are officials on the side. "Those barbarians will do this, so I will not be with them!"

"What territory do barbarians have? For example, jackals, tigers and leopards must be driven far away to the horizon! ”

"Your Excellency's words are ...... wrong"

A few people quarreled with me as soon as you said a word.

Seeing that they were blushing, Fang Linyuan hurriedly said with a smile: "You adults don't know, there is a large wasteland outside the Yumen Pass, which is neither inhabited nor cultivated, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is really not a place for soldiers. ”

"Oh......" Several civil officials all showed a look of sudden realization on their faces.

"It's worthy of the Hou Ye! I have been so old that I don't know any of this. ”

"I heard that the plants in Yumen have many thorns, but there are no branches and leaves, Master Hou, is this really the case?"

The officials gradually became lively again.

But at this moment, a sneer came from outside the door.

Fang Linyuan looked up and saw a man with a small figure and a thin back, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a jade crown, standing in front of the door surrounded by a group of eunuch guards.

It's just that the wide-sleeved brocade robe is a little too wide for his figure, and even if it fits very well, there is a sense of déjà vu that a naughty boy steals an adult's robe.

Fang Linyuan didn't know who was coming, so he saw the surrounding officials standing up one after another and bowing to that person.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

It is the third prince Zhao Jin.

He is now the only adult prince under the emperor's knees.

Of course, on the bright side, men dressed as women don't count.

Speaking of which, he still has a bit of a relationship with Zhao Pu. Back then, the people who bullied Zhao Pu by the Taiye Pool were Zhao Yao, and the other was him.

Fang Linyuan had also heard some of them when he was in the Tiger Prison. It is said that Queen Dou was robbed of the throne and sent to the cold palace because she killed Su Yunshuang, the mother of the third prince, and had two lives.

Presumably Zhao Jin also regards Zhao Pu as an enemy who kills his mother.

Fang Linyuan stood up and saluted with everyone.

He bowed down, but he didn't see Zhao Jin let them get up for a long time.

Then, in the hall where you could hear the pins falling, footsteps slowly sounded.

It was in the direction of Fang Linyuan.

In a moment, a splendid robe appeared in Fang Linyuan's sight.

It's Zhao Jin's.

Then Zhao Jin's voice sounded above his head.

"As soon as this prince came to Honglu Temple, he heard the noise here from afar. It's just that I don't know, who is boasting loudly here, disturbing the peace of this prince? ”

——

The tone was elongated, the tone was sarcastic, and he pointed directly at Fang Linyuan, and he came to make trouble when he heard it.

Nine times out of ten, it's because of Zhao Pu.

Fang Linyuan sighed helplessly in his heart.

When will these people understand the truth that there is a wrongdoer and a debtor? Seeing that Zhao Pu was not pleasing to the eye, he just went to find him, and made a special trip to the yamen to find him Fang Linyuan's trouble, what are you doing?

He was speechless in his heart, but he had no choice but to be respectful on his face.

"Everything is over, and Weichen has gossiped a few words with the adults of Honglu Temple." He said in a saluting posture.

Zhao Jin sneered, not satisfied with his answer.

"Gossip?" He said. "Listen to this prince, are you showing off your exploits at the border again?"

Fang Linyuan was silent.

The guards on the side brought a chair to Zhao Jin, and Zhao Jin sat down in front of Fang Linyuan and crossed his legs.

"Father handed over such an important matter to you, so that you are lazy and slippery here, boasting and gossiping?" He asked again.

This time, Fang Linyuan didn't speak, but Yu Tao next to him said cautiously: "Back to the third prince, Marquis Anping has been doing his duty in Honglu Temple these days, and it can be said that he is not diligent......"

"Did I ask you?" Zhao Jin interrupted him violently.

Yu Tao was so frightened that his shoulders shrunk into a quail, and he didn't dare to say another half a word.

Zhuo Fangyou on the side straightened up and opened his mouth without humility or arrogance.

"It's the head of Weichen, please punish Weichen with the third prince." He said.

Fang Linyuan was shocked.

Zhuo Fangyou has always been an upright character, and he didn't do it when he was at the border. If Zhao Jin is annoyed by his words today, I am afraid that he will have to suffer in the future.

"What are you?" Sure enough, Zhao Jin frowned and looked at him.

Fang Linyuan opened his mouth one step ahead of him.

"The minister has no heart to boast, and he has no intention of disturbing the three princes." He said. "It's just that I don't know what the third prince is doing when he comes to Honglu Temple today?"

Sure enough, Zhao Jin's attention was reattracted by him.

"You're questioning me?" Zhao Jin asked rhetorically.

"The minister didn't mean that." Fang Linyuan said. "I'm just worried that if there is an important matter that is delayed by the minister, I am afraid that the minister will not be able to afford it."

"The general has made great achievements, is there anything you can't bear?" Zhao Jin sneered.

The sentences are prickly, yin and yang are weird, and I don't know who Zhao Jin is quite a big person and who he learned from.

Fang Linyuan said in his heart.

Maybe it's Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu's speech is also ugly. Sibling...... Ah no, brothers, one thing.

Before he could reply, he heard Zhao Jin sigh lazily and say.

"But today, I really have something to do." He said. "This prince is here today to inspect the virtues of officials for his father. Now it seems that the investigation is almost complete, and I can reply to my father. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Linyuan and laughed wickedly.

"General, a shallow and frivolous person like you, who likes to boast about his merits in Haikou, even if he has made some military exploits, he is not qualified to be a messenger to greet the envoys, you say, right?"

——

Fang Linyuan really didn't know how this was worth Zhao Jin's trip.

Just to find him to make mistakes, so that he is not qualified to go out of the city to meet Naren Timur?

He beat Naren Timur to the point that he abandoned his wife and children, and he met him outside the Saiwai, and Naren Timur should call him grandpa.

Still greet him? Give him face.

Sending Zhao Jin away, Fang Linyuan didn't care, but his colleagues from Honglu Temple stepped forward to comfort him.

He probably knows. In the eyes of others, he defeated the Turks and single-handedly handled the affairs of the Turks entering Beijing, and he was the hero of the foreign envoys entering Beijing. Now making excuses not to let him go out of the city to show off his face, it is the third prince who is showing his face.

But that's what he cares about the most.

What kind of face, can it be used as the armor of the border soldiers or the winter clothes of the people to protect against the cold?

In the end, it was he who comforted his colleagues.

Finally persuaded them all to leave, Fang Linyuan just returned to the mansion, and when he walked to the door of Fuguang Xuan, someone came to report that Her Royal Highness the princess was waiting for him inside.

Zhao Pu's news is so well-informed.

Fang Linyuan didn't want to see him, but Zhao Pu forced the door, presumably looking for him.

So, even if he didn't want to, Fang Linyuan still entered the room hard, and saw Zhao Pu sitting in the hall, and the table in front of him was full of dishes.

Seeing him coming, the maids around him smiled and saluted, greeted him into the hall, and invited him to take a seat.

Then, Fang Linyuan saw the silk beside Zhao Pu, standing in front of the door and glancing at the maids.

The maids in the room were all commanded, and they came out quietly and quickly, and the last one even closed the door for them.

Fang Linyuan was stunned.

He was surprised by Zhao Pu's wrists trained by his subordinates, and when he turned his head to look at him, he saw him sitting calmly in place, looking back at him calmly.

Also, with this person's means, what is so difficult to train a few maids.

Fang Linyuan didn't say anything more, and asked bluntly, "Do you have something to look for me?" ”

Zhao Pu snorted.

Fang Linyuan only thought that he had something to say or something to order, so while waiting for Zhao Pu to speak, he picked up the chopsticks and took the lead in sandwiching the plate of steamed fish on the table.

Seeing that Zhao Pu didn't make a sound, he only picked up something from the side and put it in Fang Linyuan's hand.

Fang Linyuan swept away, and the fish on the chopsticks was suddenly frightened and fell back to the plate.

I saw a brand-new undershirt in his hand. The cloth there is soft and moist, the stitches are delicate, and the begonia is embroidered on it, and there are few stitches, but the petals seem to be alive.

And on the cuffs of that undershirt, there is a shallow embroidered word "璴".

Fang Linyuan's eyes almost fell into the plate.

"For me?" He asked.

Zhao Pu nodded.

"You did it?" He asked again.

Zhao Pu still nodded.

Fang Linyuan was so frightened that he threw the chopsticks back on the table, picked up the embroidery pier under the seat and moved a step away, looking at Zhao Pu vigilantly.

"You're here today to deliver this?" It was like he had hit a ghost.

In front of him, Zhao Xuan picked up the underwear expressionlessly and looked at Fang Linyuan.

"It's not poisoned." He said lightly.

"Why are you making clothes for me?" Fang Linyuan still did not let his guard down. "Or is it close-fitting?"

"I want to see you alone, so that I can hide my eyes and ears." Zhao Pu glanced at him coldly.

Fang Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

was scared to death, he thought that Zhao Pu was sick and was going to be a good wife and mother for him.

He put his mind at ease, sat back with the embroidery pier, and picked up the chopsticks again, but he still inevitably felt guilty in his heart.

Zhao Pu is also too meticulous in doing things, seeing that he has to make a special piece of clothing once, he is indeed a talent for great things.

And Zhao Pu's cold gaze next to him did not take his eyes off his face.

The clothes were indeed used to hide people's eyes and ears, but seeing Fang Linyuan's appearance like a snake and scorpion, he somehow felt a little unhappy.

He looked down at the undergarment.

He has always worked hard, and when it comes to female celebrities, even the embroidery girl in the palace is not as good as him, and when he was a teenager, Zhao Pei was even so jealous that he buried needles in his fabric.

Although this dress was made by him, the stitch patterns were all excellent.

Why did he get to Fang Linyuan and let him dislike him like this?

There was something unkind in his eyes.
