AD 1042

Chapter 60 Threading

An uninvited guest came early this morning outside Wangfu, Yulinxiang Town.

After Yang Liu, who worked in the royal palace, received the old man's post and sent it to the housekeeper Uncle Liang, he did not dare to neglect it. After reading the golden words above, he immediately took this post to the old prince Zhao Yuanyan's house.

If you put it as usual, the old prince Zhao Yuanyan may still meet that person. Unexpectedly, he is really not in good health today. When he gets up early in the morning, his back is sore, his limbs are weak, and even eating is served by servants.

Not to mention meeting guests, so when Uncle Liang came in with the invitation, the maids and maids who stood aside to serve the old prince were stunned and hurriedly dodged a road. Uncle Liang saw that the old prince was very ill and did not dare to talk to him. He turned out of the room and went to the prince's only son Zhao Han's room.

At this time, Zhao Han just came back from his father. He was not in a good mood. He didn't want to drive out to enjoy the flowers. After seeing the housekeeper Uncle Liang come in, Zhao Han stood up from the brocade and asked, "Whose post?"

Uncle Liang replied, "The old slave didn't dare to read it. Please have a look."

After Zhao Han took the invitation, he opened his eyes and saw that it was written in the inscription: Wang De. He was suddenly happy and quickly explained a few words to the housekeeper, and then hurried out of the room and went straight to the main gate of the royal palace.

Outside the royal palace, Yang Liu stood with his hands down and accompanied him. He looked at the burly Wang Deyi and said to himself what this man was. Many officials in Beijing would report to his home first when they came to the royal palace. It was not like this person. With a calm face, he handed over a post. If he hadn't felt that this man was not small, he would have been too lazy to run away from that. Legs, but these are all what Yang Liu muttered in his heart, and he didn't have the courage to say it.

The hot sun in the afternoon became more and more poisonous. Wang Deyi turned sideways and paed to the shade of the tree in front of the house. In the blink of an eye, he only heard someone behind him shouting, "My uncle and little nephew are polite"

When the voice arrived, Wang De hurriedly turned around and saluted politely, "The old minister Wang De has met the little prince. I don't know how the old prince is in good health."

Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "Auncle, let's go in and talk later. There are many people here. Come quickly and invite!"

While talking, Zhao Han invited Wang De Yong to the house and went all the way to the old prince's house. Wang De intended to visit the king of town, but on the way, he heard Zhao Han that the old prince was in a good breath. As soon as he took the medicine to rest, Wang De had to change his mind temporarily. After two bows in front of the old prince's door, he went straight with Zhao Han. Wangfu's study.

Wangfu's study is located next to a waterfront in the north wing, with white walls and green trees and red flowers. Along the way, the winding paths are quiet, and there are continuous beautiful scenery of small bridges and flowing water, rockery rocks, birds and flowers. However, Wang De didn't come here to see the scenery, but had something important to talk about. Zhao Han had already seen that although he didn't like to get involved in officialdom, he had to do it for his father's illness.

After pushing the door into the study, the guest master sat down.

After having tea, Zhao Han asked directly, "I don't know what happened to my uncle's house today?"

After moistening his throat, Wang De said bluntly, "To be honest, some time ago, the old minister sent his confidant's servant to Luzhou just to verify it."

"What on earth makes my uncle so concerned?" Zhao Han asked puzzledly.

"When it comes to this matter, it will be mentioned at the court meeting two months ago..."

Next, Wang Deyi said about the report of Xiangrui in Luzhou two months ago, and also mentioned that His Majesty sent Fubi to Luzhou to check Xiangrui, but this is not the point. What is important is that Wang De told Zhao Han that his servants saw and heard it with his own eyes and heard it after he went to Luzhou. It's so surprising. At first, Wang Deyang didn't dare to believe it, but after Fubi returned to Beijing, he actually brought Zhao Ze back. This matter is not small, which shows that what his servant said is very credible. Unless Fu Bi is crazy, it is impossible to do anything to bully the king. Wang De is very sure about this. .

"This..." After listening to Wang De's words, Zhao Han didn't know what to say for a moment. Wang Deyi continued to say, "Little prince, Zhao Ze has come to Beijing the day before yesterday. I have sent someone to follow him, but someone took Zhao Ze away first. Guess who this person is?"

"Who is it?" Zhao Han was very interested in such guessing and solving puzzles, and suddenly became interested.

"Please forgive me for being abrupt. This person is the eldest princess of the State of Wei, the master of Qingxu Lingzhao"

"Ah, then... That's not the royal sister. What's wrong with her looking for Zhao Ze?" Zhao Han asked.

"This, this old minister doesn't know, but what the old minister is worried about is not these, but that Zhao Ze's origin is not appropriate, and it is said that this person has magic skills, and the old minister is worried about whether someone secretly dictates him." At this point, Wang De said no longer said much, and turned to Zhao Han to see what he said.

"This" Zhao Han knocked on the head. He is the least good at speculing about things in officialdom, but this matter is too obvious. If someone really did it secretly and deliberately, then what they want is not small. "Is this really serious?"

"I dare not say anything important, but I just guess that I want the old prince to be prepared"

"Well... That's a little difficult. Anyone who has something to do with your majesty, even my father dares not intervene. Didn't my uncle see that it was the eldest princess of Wei who took Zhao Ze away?" Zhao Han asked.

"This is true, but as for the reason why it was taken by the eldest princess, the old minister dares not investigate, so if the little prince is willing to help, it will be much easier."

"My uncle taught me to check, me?" Zhao Han asked in disbelief.

"It's exactly that the little prince's relatives and the eldest princess are brothers and sisters. It's okay to visit the eldest princess when you have nothing to do." Wang De stopped and asked Zhao Han to think about it himself.

"It's also a way." Zhao Han pondered for a while. "If this matter is really important, I'll visit the royal sister now. It shouldn't be too late. I'll go now. Uncle, you can also go back first. I'll inform my uncle when my nephew find out the results."

Wang Deyi got up and bowed, "The old minister obeyed the order"

After returning the gift, Zhao Han sent Wang Deyang out of the house. Then he called Yang Liu and told his family to prepare a sedan chair. He was going to visit Master Qingxu Lingzhao at Taohua Temple.

In the construction site of the back house of Taohua'an, there are three people sitting, an old man, a young man and a fat man. The old one is not Wu Liang, the younger one is Zhao Ze, and the fat one is Ouyang Chun. The remaining 20 people were ordered by Zhao Ze to clean up the gravel in the grassland.

This is what is happening in the back house. Zhao Han in the front house just handed in a post. After a pot of tea time, the eunuch Zhang Pingfu led Zhao Han to the courtyard of the owner of Taohua'an, but only to the courtyard.

There is a pavilion in the courtyard, named Meiting. In the pavilion, there is a stone table, two stone stools, a chess piece, and a pot of new Yuqian Longjing.

After Zhao Han walked into the pavilion, he sat down and turned his back to a bamboo.

Zhang Pingfu waited respectfully and waited for the eldest princess to come to him before leaving.

"Brother" a silver bell-like voice floated into the pavilion.

Zhao Han looked up and smiled at "royal sister"

The royal sister in Zhao Han's mouth is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Wei, Zhao Ying.

"Sister, you are still the same." Zhao Han got up and said goodbye to Zhao Ying.

"Come on, don't pretend. You still say that I'm the same, and you haven't changed." Zhao Ying came to the pavilion in the maid's clothes and sat opposite.

"That's just the appearance. In fact, I'm much older, my royal brother. By the way, when are you going to recruit a son-in-law?" Zhao Han said jokingly.

"My son-in-law, I'm not going to recruit my son-in-law, and I won't recruit a son-in-law in my life." Zhao Ying looked at the sky as if she was looking at something.

"You can't cheat me, royal sister" Zhao Han seems to feel something, but it's hard to say.

"Oc's it, don't bother me. By the way, you usually don't have time to come to play with me, saying that you have been scolded by the emperor again."

"No, my father is sick today and has no time to scold me"

"You are such a person. You still run out to play when your uncle is sick. You really have no conscience."

"Who said that? Brother, I have been serving my father in the morning. I just want to go out for a break this afternoon, otherwise the whole family will be sick, who will take care of him?"

"Okay, you are so talkative. I won't play with you anymore. I'll go back to read the scriptures."

After saying that, Zhao Ying got up and was about to leave.

Zhao Han knew that the royal sister must have a killer mace at this time when she was moody, so before Zhao Ying turned around and left, Zhao Han suddenly asked, "Huang sister, in fact, the royal brother came here today to inquire about something. I don't know if you can tell me frankly."

Zhao Ying finally got to the point as soon as she heard it. She took her step back. After sitting down again, she asked, "What's the matter? I knew that you had nothing to do with the Three Treasures Hall. Last time I borrowed a royal horse from Your Majesty."

"This time it's not to borrow a horse," Zhao Han turned around and then asked, "Yesterday, after dispersing the dynasty, I heard the minister of the DPRK talking about Zhao Ze, a skilled craftsman in Beijing. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Really, that's it?" Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Han doubtfully.

"Of course not. Brother, I also heard that Zhao Ze can make flying things. Is that true?"

"It's true or false. I don't care whether I can fly or not." Zhao Ying stretched out her legs and replied.

"That's true. In this case, the royal brother also wants to see this person. I don't know if the royal sister can agree."

Zhao Han's words came to the bone, and Zhao Ying bounced up as if she had been stabbed by a needle.

Liu Mei asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

As soon as Zhao Han saw that the emperor's sister was angry, he quickly apologized, and then made a pitiful look and said, "The royal sister is angry, you calm down first. I don't mean anything else, because... I just heard that Zhao Ze had been assassinated and seriously injured in Luzhou. He couldn't live. Unexpectedly, her sister didn't know what method she used to put him. It's saved, so, so the royal brother is thinking that I don't know if my father's illness can survive. If possible, let Zhao Ze's sister come to see the disease. That's the matter. Royal sister, don't think about it."

"Humph..." Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Han angrily and said to himself that if you dare to lie to me, you look good.

"Sister, look..." Zhao Han asked shamelessly.

Zhao Ying ignored him, until Zhao Han suddenly begged with tears in his eyes, "Sister, even if you don't look at my thin face, you have to save your father in the face of the royal family. As long as your father is well, the royal brother will deal with it."

Only Zhao Han knew what Zhao Ying was most afraid of, so as soon as he cried, Zhao Ying immediately softened. After coughing gently twice, she called Zhang Pingfu over and said to his face, "Xiao Zhang, take your brother to meet Zhao Ze in the back. If you have something to say to Zhao Ze, you can hear it clearly."

Zhang Pingfu was ordered to "Our family understand Her Royal Highness"

Next, Zhao Han worshiped his royal sister. After leaving Meiting, he followed Zhang Pingfu to the construction site.
