Cry for Song

Chapter 111 Risks in the palace

In the hanging arch hall, there were several things in front of Zhao Yu. He picked up a ginseng and looked at it. The long column-shaped body showed a red-brown luster. The short and thick reed bowl was obvious and large. It smelled peculiar and fragrant. Sure enough, the general ginseng was different.

With a bang, the person was thrown on the desk by Zhao Yu and said: Come on, Yang Jian hurried forward and said, "What's the emperor's order?"

"Take these away and get the reward."

Yang Jian said yes. He stepped forward and collected things and said, "This Zhennan king can really find some strange things. Green mouse skin, Haidongqing, pearls and so on are all good things. I ordered them to send them to the palaces. This ginseng is also good. Your Majesty, I heard from Liang Shicheng that Concubine De has been ill recently. It's better to send them to her. Go."

"It's up to you." After saying that, Zhao Yu raised his eyelids and looked at Yang Jian: "This is strange..."

"Your Majesty, what's strange?"

"In the past, I remember that you always seemed to have a lot of objections to the king of Zhennan. Why did you work at Defei for a few years? Now I seldom listen to what you say when you come back."

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the more people live, the more they understand. Besides, I have served Concubine De for many years. Concubine De has always taught us that we are internal ministers. What we need to do is to serve the emperor well and not compete with court officials and ministers."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Look at what Defei said."

Yang Jian also nodded: "If you want me to say that Concubine De is also a benevolent person, so if you can leave a prince for the emperor, there must be such a mother, and the prince must also be the king of benevolence."

"All right, you have to say a few words if you have a chance. Don't think I can't hear it. Hurry up and do something."

Yang Jian smiled and was about to leave. Zhao Yu said, "If you pass the order, the officials will summon the ruling ministers Wang Kui, Wang Anli and Pu Zongmeng."

"Yes." Yang Jian took the order to do it.

Zhao Yu sighed gently. It seemed that the queen and the empress dowager were right. The terrible thing about the king's side was that everything seemed to be under his control, including this Yang Jian. He didn't know when he would have been single-minded with the king. If it hadn't been for the empress dowager's reminder, the king who didn't have the heart to fight was more terrible than the one who had a fight. Zhao Yu was afraid. I'm afraid I haven't noticed what I just asked Yang Jian.

What makes Zhao Yu more uneasy. Now it seems that there is no one in the court who can tell himself the truth. Maybe the ministers don't say it, maybe they really don't know, such as what happened in Yongle City. Occasionally, rumors spread to Zhao Yu's ears, but they can't get confirmation from the border gate. Zhao Yu vaguely felt that the far end is getting worse and worse. It's easy to know, but the minister of the court only cares about who has been promoted and who has been deposed; who is the advocate of the new policy and who is the supporter of the old government. Zhao Yu, who has been repeatedly engaged in the past two years, does not know how to deal with it. Many of the sequelae of the suspension of the new law are slowly exposed, and even the empress dowager is increasingly asking about political affairs.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu coughed a few times, and the eunuch beside him hurriedly handed over the handkerchief. Zhao Yu felt stuffy in his chest, and his body was getting worse and worse, which made him even more annoyed. Especially when he saw the queen and the concubine's inadvertent eyes, Zhao Yu knew that the empress dowager's question must be that his body was weak. In the ears of the Empress Dowager, especially the melancholy and concerned appearance of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Yu was even more annoyed that he was a dying patient.

He put his handkerchief aside and opened the memorials on the table. It seemed that in addition to the urgent funds of silver, there was still an emergency in the treasury, and then there were requests from all over the world. Zhao Yu had a headache. At the beginning of the new policy, the local affairs were solved in the place. Now As soon as the new policy stopped, the place also seemed to be shut down. Everything was waiting for the result of the court to give money. The more Zhao Yu looked at these memorials, the more annoyed he became. He opened another volume of impeachment. It was the officials who built the mansions and mansions, and the government buildings were renovated one by one. The high pavilions were extremely open and angry. Zhao Yu coughed again, thinking that in order to save money, the royal sacrifice and the repair of the palace were saved. These officials actually did so many projects.

The king left the palace with Wang Zhennan and Wanyan Agu. The two teenagers seemed particularly excited. Speaking of the emperor's reward, A Guda was even more happy. He said to Wang Zhennan, "The emperor of the Song Dynasty is really generous. He has given so much gold and silver. Dad must be happy to go back now."

"Of course, you don't know that the emperor and my father were very good back then, and my uncle and the emperor are also very familiar with it."

Seeing that the two teenagers were a little proud, Wang said in a low voice, "Don't mention this in the future."

The two teenagers were dumbfounded. They didn't know what Wang said. Wang also felt a little harsher, so he said gently, "The good man doesn't mention the past. The royal family should have the dignity of the royal family. How can the world be called brothers and brothers to approach?"

Wang Zhennan said, "I know, Dad, but when will you tell us about those things? Why did you walk for so long?"

"Didn't you say that? I can't help it. Now that I'm back, don't mention the past."

Wanyan Agu said, "Don't ask me what my father-in-law said. I'm just curious. Why did the emperor just give an official to my brother, but my father-in-law rejected it?"

Wang looked around and walked around, and his height was almost to catch up with Wang Zhennan: "How dangerous the officialdom is. Zhennan is still young, and many people may not know the worldly wisdom."

Wang Zhennan said disdainfully, "I don't want to be this official, and I don't want to be a Mengyin official."

"If you don't do it well, if you don't do it well, you will return to the Jurchen with me. Let's ride a horse and shoot every day." The three men said and went out of the inner city. The king was about to enter the sedan chair. Ali bone poked Wang Zhennan. Wang Zhennan hurriedly said, "Dad, it's still early now. I want to take A Gu around the capital."

Wang knew that children at this age were still more playful, not to mention that A Guda was new to the capital, so he told him, "Go ahead, don't make trouble, come back early." The two teenagers were very happy to hear that they left the imperial city to fight first.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Wang Bian closed his eyes slightly, thinking about the conversation with Zhao Yu just now. What Zhao Yu said to Wang's feeling was three words. Distrust, the past appeared in front of Wang's eyes again. Zhao Yu was fickle and thoughtful. Zhao Yu did not mention anything about Wang's medicine and alchemy, which seemed to show that Zhao Yu might not necessarily I really care about whether Wang is going to collect medicine and alchemy for himself. In that case, I still have to prepare early, but as impeach Libo said, the time is not right. Do I have to endure it and wait for the opportunity?

Back to the house, Wang will enter the palace today to see Zhao Yu and Chen Kang. Jiao Deyou said, and Chen Kang was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think the emperor is looking for Tubo's fault. You should be careful."

"Be careful. The prince does not participate in politics and has no military power. What does the matter of Tubo have to do with the prince?" Jiao Deyou asked puzzledly.

The king looked at the two people without saying anything. Chen Kang said, "With the prestige of the prince in those years, if the old part of the royal palace was assembled, now these people are all in power, and it is very easy to form a climate. Moreover, the matter of the Xixia Wang Shi's power will be brought to the prince sooner or later. This time the prince's visit to Tubo, someone must secretly follow the prince. Whereabouts, collect some evidence, the emperor's guard against the prince is not so easy to eliminate.

"What the matter, the prince was not afraid of him back then, and now he is even more afraid."

Wang side smiled and said, "That's what I said, you'd better be careful before everything is ready."

Talking in the room, listening to the sound of conversation from far and near outside the courtyard, the king stopped the topic, and the footsteps listened to the person outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Tong, please see me."

"Let him in."

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened and Tong Guan and Zhou Bangyan came in from the outside.

"Dad." Tong Guan went forward, and Zhou Bangyan also saluted and called him the prince.

"Guan'er is here, and Meicheng is also here. Sit down." After sitting down, Wang Zan smiled and said to Chen Kang and Jiao Deyou, "Look who is here. You must have forgotten that Zhou Meimei in those years is now full of experience."

"Your Majesty, I'm flattered. Hello, both gentlemen." Zhou Bangyan greeted the two people politely.

Tong Guan said, "Meicheng came to resign from his father this time."

"Oh, where is Meicheng going?"

"Thanks to the prince's beautiful words, the emperor has appointed me as Taixuezheng, and I am preparing to go to Jeju to teach Taixue."

"Haha, congratulations on Meicheng. You can concentrate on learning in the future."

"Exactly, I'm also used to being lazy. If I'm really an official, I may not do it well. This is taking advantage of my mind."

Wang's side smiled and remembered what Cui Xi asked him to inquire about and said, "If you go to Jeju, do something for me."

"Your Majesty, please say."

"I have a friend who lost her daughter a few years ago. I sent someone to check and found that his daughter was sold to Jeju and raised by a family surnamed Fang. You went to help me find it. This girl is now ** years old and has a mole on the left side of her forehead."

Wang was talking about Li Shining's daughter. On that day, after Li Shining finished talking about his daughter, Wang wrote a letter and asked Cui Xi to investigate. There were a lot of people dealing with restaurants and brothels in this industry. He wanted to ask about a person's general appearance. It was easy to find out which states and counties he often appeared in. Sure enough, it was the trafficker who took the little girl, and She was sold to a family surnamed Fang in Jeju, and the future had nothing to do with human traffickers. Originally, Wang was going to send someone to find her in person, but his men had just been released, and he didn't have time to find an official friend. Zhou Bangyan happened to come.

"This is a small matter. When I get to Jeju, I will do it for the prince immediately." Zhou Bangyan agreed very happily.

Tong Guan got up now and said, "If nothing happens, I'll go first."

"Oh, you don't accompany Meicheng, and you walk after eating." Wang Zong asked in surprise when he saw Tong Guan get up.

"I'm on duty." Tong Guan said

Zhou Bangyan said, "Yesterday was not just on duty."

Tong Guan coughed and said, "Uh-huh, yes, but I didn't say it's not worth it today."

Seeing what he said, Wang said he thought something wrong and asked, "shift."

Tong Guan nodded vigorously: "Then I'll leave first."

The king smiled, and the sixth sense of ** surged up: "There are risks in the palace, and you need to be cautious when you are on duty."

Tong Guan looked at Wang without understanding. He didn't dare to look at Wang's keen eyes too much and left in a hurry.
