Chapter 383: Don't Be in Vain
"Is it meaningful to win the chess and singing and dancing competitions? Tao Xiaoren, you were just playing tricks on the old man just now! Now the old man won't eat your set, I'm sorry, the old man won't accompany you! The old man is going back to the tent to sleep. After the prince finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the king's residence.
The blue and white winged god secretly complained: "Prince Jin is leaving like this? He's going back to the capital, right?
The eldest princess replied disappreciatively in the carriage: "Lord Tao wants to cure him for the crime of corruption, and he knows his own behavior, so he should not return to Beijing right now." Let him rest! Seeing that he must be tired after all this toss. ”
"Yes, I look forward to him going back to the capital, so that I can assist the relevant Beijing officials and stop his corruption. Tao Ziyun said, his heart full of warm expectations.
In Tao Ziyun's heart, what he was looking forward to was that the government and Zhao Jinlong's rebel army would resolve their grievances and incorporate them. However, the local government has not made progress in the negotiations on the integration of the soldiers, citing the lack of money to support the soldiers. If you want the government to be rich, you have to rectify corrupt officials.
There was one less guest to entertain in front of the blue and white winged god, so he discussed with the only guest, Tao Ziyun, and said, "Then don't worry about him, let's visit everywhere." ”
Tao Ziyun nodded to the blue and white winged god: "Guests are as you please, I just follow you." ”
They went around the various places at the Naadam convention, because there was a restaurant at the convention, and at noon they had lunch at the restaurant and went back to the king's place in the evening.
When I got back to my accommodation, the first thing I had was dinner.
The blue-and-white-winged god sent someone to the tent where Prince Jin lived, and invited him to the big tent where the king of the county used to eat dinner.
The men of the blue and white winged god said back and forth after a while, and the prince was lying inside. There was just no movement.
Prince Jin was a distinguished guest of the Blue and White Wing God, so the Blue and White Wing God personally went to invite him, and the reply was that he did not want to eat.
The blue and white winged god returned to the big tent, thought about it, and asked his men to bring a piece of food to the tent where Prince Jin lived, so that he could get up and eat a little when he wanted to.
The eldest princess beckoned Tao Ziyun and said, "He doesn't eat, let's eat, the more he cares, the more arrogant he becomes." ”
The blue and white winged god cheered up and enthusiastically persuaded Tao Ziyun to drink. Tao Ziyun is still a good drinker. When it comes to drinking, it's okay not to drink, and when you drink, you can accompany the people you drink with to the end.
Lan Baiyi asked Tao Ziyun soberly: "Master Tao, do you think it is appropriate to treat Prince Jin like this?"
Tao Ziyun replied seriously: "I think it is necessary to do this, I just want to suppress him in terms of ability, otherwise, he doesn't know the height of the sky, in order to let him have scruples about doing things." 'It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs'. It is as if corrupt officials are more suitable for judging family affairs, and officials of the household affairs government can be corrupt officials. Let all kinds of officials be greedy so that the court has no money, and the local government has no money, so that the officials have no money to do their own affairs, let alone money to do things for the people. ”
"That's how it goes. See for yourself. The Blue and White Winged God continued to enthusiastically persuade Tao Ziyun to drink: "What I have to do now is to entertain you as a guest." ”
The eldest princess persuaded Tao Ziyun: "Yes, Tao Ziyun." You have a happy holiday here, stay here a little longer, and it will seem that we have a good reception for you. We're happy that way, too. ”
Tao Ziyun, who didn't understand the customs and habits here, asked: "Is this Naadam festival going to be held for many days?"
The Blue and White Winged God explained to Tao Ziyun a little proudly, "Yes, we can let the Naadam Conference be held for a few more days. Because you're here!"
"That's okay, Prince Jin won't get up today, I'll wait for him for a few more days, and if he's hungry for a long time, he will have to get up. When he gets up, let's go back to the capital together. Tao Ziyun immediately made up his mind.
The blue and white winged god touched his glass with Tao Ziyun: "I hope your idea is good for everyone." What I want to do well is to accompany you to the Naadam Conference every day. ”
It's easy to spend your days playing. In the blink of an eye, Tao Ziyun was a guest in this Mongolian tribe for more than ten days. In these days, Tao Ziyun took advantage of the opportunity to be with the Blue and White Winged God and the eldest princess, chatting about various topics and exchanging various views and practices on life.
During these days, Prince Jin tried his best to lie down in the tent where he lived, and when he was hungry, he ate a little food sent in, and avoided Tao Ziyun when he ate and drank Lazar, in order to refuse to meet Tao Ziyun.
After that morning, Tao Ziyun also entered the tent and said to Prince Jin, who was facing inside: "Prince Jin, you know that I am still here, so you don't want to go out to meet people, right? What I want to say is that I am going back to the capital." In that case, you will be able to get up and go out for activities with peace of mind, and then I will suddenly appear, and at that time, I will ask you to go back to the capital with me. ”
Prince Jin didn't turn his head around, but replied firmly: "I'm sorry! You're a little Tao! Don't play tricks and tricks with the old man! The old man doesn't want to suffer your losses, and the old man resolutely won't fall for you!"
"Hehe, if you can't fall for me, it depends on your concentration. I'm going back to the capital, so I'll say goodbye!" Tao Ziyun finished speaking and went out.
The Blue and White Winged God and the eldest princess were waiting for news outside that tent, and Tao Ziyun officially resigned to them.
The blue and white winged god said with a complicated mood: "Okay, you really want to go back to the capital, and I can't force you to keep anymore." After getting along with you for so many days, you have also made me understand some ways of behaving in the world that I didn't notice before, and I will treat the eldest princess well in the future, everyone should cherish it!"
Under the send-off of the blue and white winged god and the eldest princess, Tao Ziyun gathered the people he brought from the capital and embarked on the journey back to Beijing.
They just returned the same way as they had been on the same post road, and were taken care of by the officials of the post station along the way, and their return journey was safe.
When he returned to the capital, Tao Ziyun entered the palace and handed over his mission to the emperor. After settling the entourage, Tao Ziyun returned to Tao Mansion.
Moss Yu was chatting with Lu Cha while holding her daughter, and Qin Ji squatted on the table next to them. When Tao Yu and Lu Chahua saw Tao Ziyun coming back, they greeted him.
Tao Ziyun said: "I asked Qin Ji to go back to his hometown, and Qin Ji brought news the day before yesterday, saying that we should go back to my hometown to attend the wedding of those girls. ”
"How many girls are married at the same time?" Tao Ziyun did not feel unfamiliar with the people in his hometown, but there were several girls who were already engaged.
"Your guess isn't entirely correct. If they get married at the same time, we don't know where to go for the wedding wine, what they want is that we all have to attend their wedding. Tao Yu then carefully explained to Tao Ziyun: "So, they are getting married one after another, so that we can attend their weddings one by one. First Su Caihua married Hu Xiongdie, then Li Luer's brother Li Xiang married Pi Tian Silkworm, then Ai Luoluo married Ji Lushen, the engagement procedures of the white snail goddess were also completed, and finally she married Zhao Jinlong. ”
Tao Ziyun hugged her daughter from Moss Yu's hand, and calmly replied to Moss Yu: "Okay, when I go to court tomorrow, I will ask the emperor for leave, I just returned from an errand for the emperor, and it is easy to ask for leave." We will be able to go back to our hometown the day after tomorrow. ”
Lu Chahua happily interjected: "I've been in the capital for so many days, and I want to go back and have a look." ”
Tao Ziyun suddenly thought of something, and he asked Lu Chadao: "I haven't done anything bad when I've been away from Beijing to do business, right?"
Lu Chahua solemnly replied to Tao Ziyun and said: "Of course I will pay attention to this matter, Fei Xiaobei went to Zhan Shifu to deal with official business as usual, and did not do anything bad." ”
Tao Ziyun was relieved at this time, and he sighed with relief: "I transferred Fei Xiaobei to the Zhan Mansion where I am located, and I started to persuade him to want to avenge his father. I kept warning him that if he wanted to hurt the palace maids like his father in order to avenge his father, he would incur the same fate as his father - there would be a mysterious person who would come forward and let him die a miserable death, even if he did not hurt the palace maid, but he found an opportunity to avenge his father, then he would incur retribution, and he would become the target of revenge for others. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly, and completely handed over the handling of that matter to the yamen. ”
Moss Yu was even more happy for everyone: "Well, your efforts have not been in vain, and the hidden danger of Fei Xiaobei doing bad things has been eliminated, and this status quo can make us go back to our hometown with confidence." ”
Tao Ziyun's thoughts were pulled away: "I hope that my efforts to go to the Mongolian tribe this time will not be in vain." ”
Lu Chahua interjected with a smile: "Hehe, come on, everyone, seize every opportunity, don't let your efforts go to waste." (To be continued......)
