Chapter 49: The Southern Tour
When Jia Yu was still lamenting that the prince was like a tiger, the prince's voice came from behind him. "Enhou, you don't have to look like you've escaped, your father is not as scary as you think. ”
Jia Yu was startled, turned around, and saw that it was the prince who breathed a sigh of relief.
"See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can scare the ministers. Jia Yu is not as reverent as the prince of the saint, and the prince does not shy away from communicating with Jia Yu, after all, the grain planting matter was completed with Jia Yu's assistance. The prince didn't want to hide it from the saint, but if the prince didn't associate with Jia Yu, the saint would not like it even more, and staying away from Jia Yu would only make the saint feel that the prince was a ruthless person.
"Why did the widow scare Enhou? Isn't it because Enhou is weak?" said the prince with a smile.
"The minister's heart is weak, it's just a momentary loss of mind. Naturally, Jia Yu would not admit that he was thinking of the saint's bad words.
"Enhou is dismissed, do you have time to go to the Champion Building for a drink?" the prince asked, and Jia Yu naturally did not refuse.
Sitting in the private room on the second floor, after the prince dismissed his subordinates, Jia Yu toasted the prince a few glasses of wine before starting to drink himself, although the prince didn't mind, but the rules Jia Yu still couldn't forget. After drinking a few glasses of wine, the prince sighed.
"Enhou, the widow still thought that after the position was stabilized, the second emperor brother and the third emperor brother would retreat in the face of difficulties, who knew that they would become even worse. After speaking, he drank the wine in the wine glass, Jia Yu accompanied him to drink a glass, and then poured the two people's cups full of wine.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Your Second Highness and Third Highness may soon change their minds. Jia Yu comforted, will this be the case? Jia Yu felt that it would not, the battle for the throne has always been a matter of life and death, and it will only stop after one side falls.
"Enhou, the widow sometimes envies the relationship between you and Cun Zhou. "The prince drank too fast just now, and he was a little confused.
"Your Highness forgot, the younger brother of the minister also misunderstood the minister at the instigation of the minister's parents before, and how could His Highness forget the four highnesses?" Jia Yu said with a smile.
"Enhou didn't say that the widow also forgot, seeing that you are like this now, it is difficult to believe that you were not in harmony before. The prince slapped his forehead: "However, what you said about Enhou is right that there are still four emperor brothers, and Enhou came to catch a cup for the four emperor brothers." Jia Yu had no choice but to knock the cup dry.
"Enhou, this time I went to Jiangnan to listen to my father's tone, as if I wanted to take you there. The prince said after putting down his glass.
The saint will make a southern tour next month, the goal is Jiangnan, the main entourage must be good, and the rest are some dispensable officials, including Jia Yu. Jia Yu didn't want to go with him, Jia Zheng would get married next month, and if he went with him, he would miss Jia Zheng's big day.
"Your Highness, can you resign for the minister, the minister's brother will get married next month, and the minister doesn't want to miss it. Jia Yu had no choice but to ask the prince to intercede for him.
"Yes, the widow will speak for you. The four emperors' younger brothers are already going to accompany him, if Enhou you also go with you, there will be only one left in Beijing" The prince said happily, this time the saint did not take the prince with him, he stayed in the prison country, and only took the four princes away.
Jia Yu returned to the mansion after separating from the prince, and the Zhang family was embroidering the belly pocket for the child in the belly in the East Garden room, although she could hand over the work to the next person, but she still insisted on doing it herself.
Jia Yu wrapped his hands around Zhang's waist and kissed her, Zhang's face immediately became burning, and he glanced at Jia Yu: "Husband, Yahuan is still there." The hand was still swept in front of his nose: "I also drank wine, and my body smelled of wine." ”
"I really should fight, Nan Nan actually dislikes her husband. After speaking, he was really patted on Zhang's buttocks, Zhang's pregnancy cycle was already sensitive, and he hurriedly whispered: "Husband, the concubine is still pregnant." ”
Jia Yu took a deep breath, and at the same time ran the exercises, the person was much more sober, of course he knew that the one in the stomach was the most important thing for the Zhang family now, and he calmed down after a while.
"Husband, it's hard for you. Seeing that Jia Yu had lost his impulse, Zhang began to make fun of Jia Yu.
Jia Yu was very helpless about Zhang's little interest, secretly scolded the little goblin, and after sitting down, he told Zhang's about the restaurant.
"Husband, don't have too much hope, since the saint can let the husband accompany him, he has naturally considered the matter of saving the week. After hearing this, Zhang persuaded instead.
"I naturally know, but it's inevitable that I can't watch my second brother get married. Jia Yu naturally thought about it, but he still had a little hope. Jia Yu never called himself a husband except for teasing her in front of Zhang, if it weren't for Zhang's insistence, he wouldn't even let Zhang's concubine be called.
Jia Yu lay on the bed and talked with Zhang like this, until Zhang fell asleep, Jia Yu practiced the exercises, and left his divine sense, as long as Zhang woke up and Jia Yu would stop the exercises.
Sure enough, as Jia Yu and the Zhang family expected, the crown prince failed to win Jia Yu to stay, and a few days later, Jia Yu was notified by Shangguan that he was ready to go on patrol with the saint. Jia Zheng was slightly unhappy when he knew, his eldest brother was like a father, Jia Yu had been educating him in the past few years, from dealing with people to studying for the imperial examination, all of them were doing his best, so on such a big day, of course he hoped that Jia Yu would be present, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he could only give up.
In this way, a month later, Jia Yu left the Guogong Mansion with his family reluctant, and set off with the crowd of people who went out on patrol with the saint. The scale of the Shengshang's patrol was much larger than Jia Yu's return to Jinling, Jia Yu only chartered a small boat, and the Shengshang had more than ten big ships, so many boats almost blocked the entire canal.
Jia Yu was basically on standby, except for the occasional instruction to accompany the saint to the town, and he stayed on his own ship. Jia Yu also has a very good mentality, so he thinks that he is traveling at public expense. The itinerary of the saint is also very regular, and he will stay for several days in each small town, summon the old people in the town, learn about their living conditions, etc., and see if the local parents and officials are doing the same as Sozuri said, and carry out the spirit of the boss's inspection work to the end.
With the canal, the big boat came to a small town again, the difference was that the saint did not come to the town immediately, and Jia Yu was also happy to be idle. On the second night, the Gao Nei attendant next to the saint came to Jia Yu, and Jia Yu thought that he was going to be called to the town, but who knew that Gao Nei Shen mysteriously pulled him into the cabin.
Closing the door, Gao Nei lowered his voice: "Shizi, something is wrong." ”
"What's the big deal that makes Gao Nei Shi so flustered?" Jia Yu asked when he saw Gao Nei Waiter's panicked expression.
"The Holy One is gone. Gao Nei said in a low voice.
"Gao Neishi, you're not kidding me, are you?" Jia Yu asked in disbelief.
"It's true, the Holy One is really gone. Gao Nei squire cried with a sad face, and he wanted to joke too.
