Devil’s Advent

Wen Sutong's mansion is not big, but it is decorated with a Jiangnan flavor. After all, it is from a family of officials and eunuchs from the Qian Kingdom. In terms of taste and style, it is really hard to say.

When Uncle Zheng and the blind man came to visit, Wen Sutong opened the main door and greeted him personally on crutches.

Subsequently,

Uncle Zheng went to the study alone to take a rest;

One is because they spent too much energy on the performance in the imperial study room in the morning, and the other is that they want to leave the opportunity to speak to their son-in-law, and at most he can show up and say a few polite words when he is about to leave.

Perhaps because of the armor on his body, his body naturally switched to some functions on the battlefield, and it was always easier to fall asleep.

Uncle Zheng really fell asleep.

And when Uncle Zheng fell asleep,

A red-robed eunuch led the order to the Huxin Pavilion and opened the iron gate.

"Ji Chengyue, a commoner, accepts the order."

The third prince dressed in white looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment. He was already prepared to leave here in this life, but he really didn't expect the imperial decree to come at this time.

"My son... the grass people kowtow to my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The red-robed eunuch smiled slightly, and read out the decree:

"Following the imperial decree of Chengyun, the common people, Ji Chengyue..."

There are roughly two meanings.

One meaning is to admonish him for the mistakes he made at the beginning. Of course, it is impossible to clearly explain what Ji Chengyue did in the first place in the imperial decree. The other is nothing more than laziness and disobedience;

The second meaning is that His Majesty thinks that you have thought about it in the Huxin Pavilion for the past few years and have a good attitude, so that you can leave here. It is impossible to restore your status as a prince and prince, but you are allowed to enter the clan mansion.

That is to restore your status as a royal family, but you will not be treated.

But he is the prince after all, and he has come to the conclusion that if he catches up with the amnesty in the future, he will at least be able to inherit a title. In short, the most sad hurdle is over.

"My son, thank you Lord Long En."

Ji Chengyue knelt on the ground and raised his hands.

The red-robed eunuch put the imperial decree in his hands and helped him up, the third prince was already in tears.

"Your Highness, the slave will help you back. Your Majesty means that you will continue to live in the prince's mansion. The imperial physician is also ready to diagnose your body."

"Thank you, father-in-law, thank you... Father."

Being imprisoned in the Huxin Pavilion for several years, the damage to the body is obvious, and the root cause of the disease is easy to fall. After going out, it is necessary to follow the imperial doctor's order to recuperate.

And this red-robed eunuch looked at the third prince in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he had a kind feeling.

After all, this third prince is now a member of the same family as himself.

Once this man has gone to that root, after a long time, he will naturally develop a femininity;

What's more, the third prince liked to read poetry and books back then, so his temperament was already biased towards literary quality.

The red-robed eunuch immediately dispelled all these miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, what was he thinking about?

inside the carriage,

The eunuch in red personally brought a cup of tea to Ji Chengyue.

Ji Chengyue took the tea with both hands, and begged:

"Eunuch, I still left some books, calligraphy and paintings there. I was in a hurry before and didn't take care of them. Please, Eunuch..."

"Your Highness, look at what you said, you just give an order, and the miscellaneous family can't bear your highness's 'please', and the miscellaneous family will send someone to fetch it later."

"Thank you, Eunuch."

"Your Highness is being polite."

Carriage, passing through the street.

Ji Chengyue smelled the aroma of sesame seed cakes, and subconsciously inhaled them.

The red-robed eunuch was born as a servant since he was a child. Although he has climbed to a high position in the palace now, he has never lost his housekeeping skills. He immediately ordered a young eunuch outside to buy two sesame cakes.

Ji Chengyue held the freshly baked sesame seed cakes in his hands and devoured them hungrily.

"Your Highness, eat slowly, eat slowly, and be careful not to choke."

In fact, although the food in the Huxin Pavilion mainly consists of simple tea and light rice, this simple tea and light rice is not bad if it is compared to the standard of ordinary people's life. It's just that the food needs to be inspected when it is delivered, and it really falls to Ji Chengyue In front of him, it was basically cold;

It’s okay in summer, but in winter, I can only use the small stove for making tea to heat up rice by myself.

He is not greedy for this biscuit,

But greedy for the hot smell of fireworks.

In other words,

What he is hungry for is the taste of freedom.

After eating the two biscuits, Ji Chengyue let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the cold tea, drank it in one gulp, and kept the tea foam in his mouth to continue chewing.

This is the habit he has developed in the Huxin Pavilion over the past few years.

immediately,

Ji Chengyue looked at the red-robed eunuch, and said:

"Eunuch, when can I go to thank my father?"

"This, His Majesty did not order."

"I see."

Ji Chengyue had nothing to dissatisfy.

………

"I said, fifth, you are leaving, what are you still busy here?"

The fourth prince sat on the table next to him, watching the fifth prince draw drawings there.

"Didn't the fourth brother see it? Brother, I am drawing blueprints. Some water conservancy methods recorded in ancient books and my brother's own collection. I don't want any use for the pictures. I just want one to confirm each other."

"Heh, I know you're drawing blueprints, but you, a river worker, probably won't be able to fix it."

"Oh? Any news about fourth brother?"

"No, there are still a few acquaintances in the Ministry of War."

The mother family of the fourth prince is the Deng family of Sanshi. Although the Deng family was defeated in the first battle of Wangjiang, there are still some legacy left behind. Moreover, he is the prince himself. It's difficult.

"What's up?"

"In the Imperial Study Room today, there seems to be a discussion about military affairs."

"What's there?"

"The tone from the Ministry of War seems to be going up at the meeting tomorrow."

"Wind?"

"Maybe, there's going to be a war."

"Now, fight?"

"Yes, the battle to be able to go to the court meeting is not like fighting with that kid from Qianguo in Nanwang City like the eldest brother."

"How to fight? It's not like you don't know what's going on with our Dayan treasury, fourth brother, otherwise we wouldn't be living here."

According to the established practice, both the treasury and the internal treasury of the prince's house will issue a "settlement fee" to buy a house. At the same time, the prince's monthly bill will also increase significantly for family use.

When living in the prince's mansion, theoretically, there is a big pot of rice here, which will provide meals, and also provide a few eunuchs and maids for orders, and the monthly rate is even lower than that of Xiao Qi in the palace.

In fact, it's not just that, in the past two years, the old man in the family has left, and the brochures waiting to be delivered by Cheng Jue's descendants have also been put on hold.

If you accept the title one year later, the imperial court can save one year's money and food. It tells you that it is following the procedure to determine your identity, judge your character, and see if you are qualified to receive the title. .

Do you dare to make trouble?

Can.

If it is more serious, you will be judged to be unqualified in character, and your family's title will be directly taken away. If it is less serious, you will be demoted by two more ranks to give you a long memory.

The prince of Dayan, that is to say, taking the fourth and fifth princes as an example, they are now comparable to the prince's political treatment, and after the opening of the mansion, they will have to be equal to the prince's living treatment.

This treatment had to last until a brother between them ascended the throne, and their relationship with the Supreme changed from a prince to an imperial brother, and then according to the tradition, they would ask themselves to be deposed.

Leaving aside the small salary of their errands in the court, in fact, it is only two hundred taels of silver a year, but as princes, they can get 10,000 taels of silver a year plus 10,000 shi for food. Festival welfare ice charcoal filial palace reward.

For other titles, the annual money and food is definitely not as much as the prince, but there are also a lot of nobles who can't stand Dayan, so when they are all added up, the scale is huge.

Uncle Zheng is now the earl, the silver is two thousand taels a year, and the grain is two thousand shi. When the court sends money and grain to Xueguan, the details will be marked additionally.

all in all,

The fourth and fifth princes alone lived in the prince's mansion, and they could save the imperial court 20,000 taels of silver and 20,000 shi in money and grain expenses every year.

Ji Laoliu's reputation among the clan and the nobles in the past two years has been very poor. The reason is that the court has financial difficulties, so he did not hesitate to attack the clan and the nobles.

Not only are they stuck on the rated money and food, but they also use the bank notes of the commercial bank to exchange their money and food, so that they can use this ticket to pick up goods of equivalent value in the commercial bank.

The business of ticket numbers has actually existed for a long time, and it has long been popular in Qianguo Jiangnan, but it is basically used for convenient connection when doing business, and the popularity among the people is not high. The use of this is just to give subsidies to the royal family, and the same bills, if collected on the street, will have a 20% discount. This is clearly exploiting the nobles and the clan!

Unfortunately,

Emperor Yan is too powerful now, plus, the remaining prestige of the horse stepping on the door still exists. If it were any other emperor, the clan and nobles would have gone to the gate of the palace to cry with their elders and children.

Faced with this, they dare not;

This can also be regarded as reflecting Dayan's financial constraints from the side, because as long as conditions permit, the clan and nobles must be taken care of. Even if some of them have become rice bugs, they still have to be taken care of. For Dayan, who worked hard for your Ji family and sacrificed his life and blood to earn his descendants Fumeng.

Once this aspect is not handled well, who will continue to work hard for your Ji family in the future?

Big fellow, isn't what you're asking for is a duke who will seal his wife and son for generations?

The fourth prince smiled,

road:

"I reckon that it is really possible to fight."

"No money, no food, how to fight?"

"Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? If you really want to fight, there is always a way to fight. Therefore, you river worker, there should be no need to repair it."

There's going to be a war,

Where is there any extra money, food and people's labor to send to the river workers?

The fifth prince shook his head, and said, "Before the emperor makes a decree, what should I do, or what should I do."

"Okay, you're cute."

At this time,

There was a sound outside.

The eunuch who was beside the Fifth Prince ran over and reported:

"Master, fourth master, the third highness is back."

The fourth prince and fifth prince immediately looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Seriously,

They have already made the mental preparation that they will never see the third child again in this life, because no matter how they look at it, the third child is unlikely to come out of the Huxin Pavilion.

The fourth prince murmured: "I heard that yesterday, Zheng Fan went to see the third child at the Huxin Pavilion, so this can be regarded as an explanation, and the past is settled?"

The Fifth Prince shook his head and said, "I don't think Third Brother will really let go of the past."

"Oh, you have never been locked there before."

"If you can provide me with wood if it is locked there, I really don't mind."

"You are crazy."

The fourth prince jumped down from the table and straightened his clothes.

The fifth prince took off the clothes he wore as a carpenter and changed into a new one.

No matter what, the third brother is back, and as younger brothers, they naturally have to go to pay their respects.

When he was about to go out, the fourth prince suddenly remembered something, and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be Concubine Ming's birthday in the next ten days, right?"

Concubine Ming, known as a virtuous and virtuous concubine, has a mediocre personality and is well-educated.

The third prince loved poetry and books in the early days, and was somewhat influenced by his mother and concubine.

The fifth prince heard the words, and said, "You mean, the emperor stayed at Concubine Ming's place last night?"

The fourth prince immediately kicked the fifth prince,

scolded:

"Is this something I can know!"

If I can receive reports every day about where my father stayed last night, then what am I going to do?

The Fifth Prince shrugged and said, "I thought you knew."

"Don't hurt me."

"Hey, I'm just asking casually, but I think that if Concubine Ming knew that Zheng Fan had visited the third brother, she would take advantage of the situation and go to ask the father for mercy. The father might agree to release the third brother because the birthday of the Ming concubine is coming soon. Out."

"Oh, our father, your heart is still soft." The fourth prince said with emotion.

"Fourth brother, are you talking nonsense because you have a fever?"

The fourth prince glanced at the fifth prince and said:

"It was you who set it on fire first."

...

As soon as the third prince moved into the prince's mansion, the fourth prince and fifth prince came to visit.

"My brother greets my brother."

"My brother greets my brother."

"Brothers, please rise, please rise."

Next, it was a brotherly respect, and everyone sat around and greeted each other.

However, because the imperial doctor came, the fourth and fifth princes also left.

After coming out, the fourth prince stretched his waist, and said: "The third child used to put on airs of a scholar and didn't look at us directly. Now it seems that after being imprisoned for two years, he has become more down-to-earth."

"Yes." Lao Wu agreed.

"It's a pity, I think, the third child has no chance of revenge."

"Do you think the third brother still wants to take revenge?"

"Hehe." The fourth prince laughed twice, "I don't believe he doesn't hate anymore, because every night, he will hate. But the man Zheng Fan is already Hirano uncle, the prince leads the horse, and the prince takes the driver, alas, what? Compare?"

"I'm going to Liudi's mansion later to give some toys I made myself to the children."

"You are very attentive, are you going to see Zheng Fan?"

"That's right, after all, Zheng Fan will have to leave Beijing in the future. If the emperor doesn't issue a new order, I still have to go to Jindi with him."

"Aren't you afraid that others will regard you as the Liu Ye party?"

The fifth prince smiled "hehe\

,"road:

"Fourth brother."

"Um?"

"The third brothers are all out."

"What's wrong?"

"No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the third brother?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Brother, let me put it another way. Someone like Zheng Fan, who abolished the prince, can still be ennobled. What is it based on? It's ability.

Regardless of whether it is our father, the second brother or the sixth brother,

As long as they sit in that position,

What blood, brother, heir,

Nothing is as important as being able to do things.

So, even if there is no human and material support this time, my brother, Wang Jiang, must and will definitely go, do my best, and don't be really treated as a waste.

This means, fourth brother, do you understand? "

"understood."

"That's good."

"You're calling me trash."

"..." Old Five.

…

After waking up in the afternoon, Uncle Zheng went to Wen's living room.

Then,

Uncle Zheng realized that it was a huge mistake not to take the blind man to see the Empress Dowager Jin.

at this time,

The blind man and Wen Sutong were sitting facing each other, with tea in their hands.

"You look in good spirits."

"You've lost weight. It should be because you're too busy with things. Pay attention."

The two were chatting about homework,

but very slowly,

It often takes a long time to answer the next sentence.

Uncle Zheng knew that the blind man was using "spiritual chains" to communicate with Wen Sutong.

It's normal that there are secret agents in Prince Jin's mansion;

In Wen Sutong's family, there are absolutely no fewer secret agents.

Uncle Zheng couldn't find a secret room to talk privately with the Empress Dowager Jin, because as long as he did so, Emperor Yan's anger would come immediately.

Emperor Yan's ambition is to unify all Xia, how could he just sit back and watch his own generals invade a country's empress dowager?

This also made Uncle Zheng's trip to the Prince Jin's Mansion too dull, and the gap between what he expected and what he expected was too great.

well,

If there is a blind man,

It's much more convenient, and you can talk privately.

at last,

Uncle Zheng sat down and drank half a cup of tea, and chatted with Wen Sutong about the weather in Xuehai Customs and Yanjing City. As soon as the tea was cold, he got up and said goodbye.

Back at the mansion of the sixth prince, everyone had dinner.

Gou Moli asked Zheng Fan if he could take him to the secret spy prison, but Uncle Zheng hesitated.

It is clear to the outside world,

The Savage King was defeated and captured, and sent to Yanjing City.

There are rumors that the Savage King has been executed, and there are also rumors that he has been imprisoned in the Secret Service Prison.

Of course Uncle Zheng knew that the real savage king was in front of him, and the one imprisoned in Yanjing City was a fake.

The counterfeit is Alai, a man who looks exactly like the Savage King and is willing to become the shadow of the Savage King.

If Gou Moli asked him to take him to the back garden to meet the princess,

Uncle Zheng must have kicked him over,

But ask yourself this,

Uncle Zheng was a little embarrassed,

can only say;

"I asked Ji Laoliu's people to help me pass a message to Wei Zhonghe, saying that in order to clearly deal with the situation in the snow field, I wanted to meet the wild man king.

Specifically, can you see it?

It depends on what Wei Zhonghe means. "

Gou Moli knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Zheng Fan.

tonight,

Ji Laoliu didn't come back until midnight, and instead of looking for Zheng Fan, he went back to his room and rested.

next morning,

Uncle Zheng just woke up, after washing up, he went to the small courtyard and was about to smoke a wake-up cigarette;

But I saw the bench in the yard,

Ji Laoliu was sitting there,

Holding a hookah in his hand.

Nowadays, dry people like Wushi powder, which has a much stronger effect than tobacco.

As for tobacco, more than half of it is used as medicinal materials. There are people who smoke tobacco, but it has not formed a trend.

How should I put it, in this world, the older people are, the less healthy they are, the more they smoke, because they believe that tobacco smoke can get rid of diseases.

The hookah in Ji Laoliu's hand was exquisitely shaped, like a work of art. He also had a chalcedony bergamot snuff bottle hanging on his waist, which was also an extremely valuable item.

Dayan's national treasury is tight, but not so much as Ji Laoliu's life. As long as political conditions permit, he, like Uncle Zheng, still likes to enjoy it.

The most important thing is that he doesn't rely on the money from the imperial treasury to enjoy it. In fact, according to Ji Laoliu, Dayan is a businessman's family. In terms of meticulous and rigorous tax payment, the firm under Ji Laoliu's command is undoubtedly First.

Uncle Zheng walked up to Ji Laoliu, took the hookah from his hand, and said:

"Don't touch this stuff, it's bad for your health."

talking,

Uncle Zheng lit a cigarette with a fire pocket and took a puff.

"What about you?" Ji Laoliu gave Uncle Zheng a blank look.

"I am a sixth-rank martial artist, and I am in good health."

"Do you practice martial arts with Zheng Fan to make up for this shortfall?"

"Hehe, aren't you going to court today?"

"I'm taking leave, I'm taking leave with my father, you're leaving Beijing tomorrow, I'll show you around."

"So grand?"

"Must, God knows when I will see you next time."

"OK."

"The carriage is already waiting. I'll take you to Kuanmin Lane for breakfast. The ones there are the most authentic."

"good."

Eunuch Zhang is still driving.

Kuanmin Alley is an old street in Yanjing City. The street is not big, but it is very popular.

For breakfast, I ate small wontons.

Ji Laoliu ate two bowls, Uncle Zheng ate three bowls, and Eunuch Zhang ate four bowls.

Afterwards, the two stopped riding in the carriage, but started to stroll around.

I went to Yinlang Temple. Like Yinlang County, it was first famous for the Great Yan Zaifu, but this temple in the capital has become a market for calligraphy, painting and antiques.

Ji Laoliu walked side by side with Zheng Fan while introducing the market of antiques to Zheng Fan.

"In the capital city, many people like to visit the Yin Lang Temple, always wanting to pick up a leak or something, but how can I put it, buying a good product is never as good as selling it well, it is difficult to find a leak here.

It is impossible for gold, silver and jade articles to be placed here, only fools sell them.

As for such ancient paintings and calligraphy and inkstone and vase kilns, firstly, most of them are fake, and secondly, even if they are real, if you like it, it doesn’t matter if you buy it for collection and don’t want to resell it. You also have to see if there is someone who is as knowledgeable as you, and that person who is knowledgeable is still rich.

And this thing, when the time comes, you can go to the rice shop, and you can't get any food in exchange. The guys in the rice shop can't appreciate this. "

That being said, Ji Lao Liu still bought Uncle Zheng an inkstone, a painting, and a piece of variegated jade pendant.

"The inkstone is real, the material is good, and it's worth it. The painting is fake, but the person who copied it is old enough to buy it for one tael of silver, but it can't be sold for a hundred taels of silver, but it's easy to sell for ten taels of silver. This jade pendant , haven’t been well-raised, but it’s actually the finest Huairou jade. Wear it on people and raise it for three generations. When your grandson grows up, the texture will become extremely clear and smooth, and it will be valuable.

If the price of rice at that time was the same as it is now, it would be worth five hundred taels of silver. "

Uncle Zheng took a cloth bag and put things in it, and Eunuch Zhang took it with a smile and helped keep it.

"You really can't die of hunger. If you don't have money to eat, you come here to wander around. After a few turns, you have everything."

As the saying goes, craftsmen can't die of starvation in famine years, that's the reason.

Ji Laoliu shook his head and said, "These are just trails. To put it bluntly, these things are very commonplace in my eyes."

Born in the royal family, her mother's family is the Min family. In the eyes of ordinary people, precious antiques and precious pieces are no different from the chopping boards in his own back kitchen in the eyes of Ji Laoliu.

"Then why were you so poor that you had no money to eat?"

Ji Laoliu casually took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to Tongluoli, a monkey artist in front of the street entrance of the ancestral hall.

The monkey immediately got up happily, kowtowed to Ji Laoliu, and then somersaulted.

"Look, just like this monkey, it doesn't necessarily like to somersault and kowtow, but it has to do it because people like to watch it do it."

"hehe."

"This Yanjing City, counting this time, you have only come twice, father, you have only seen twice, in your eyes, what kind of person is father?"

"I don't know what to say."

"You should be afraid of your father."

"I don't like the word fear."

"Okay, then replace it with... fear?"

"I don't like this topic."

"Think it's dangerous to talk about this on the streets of the capital?"

"That's right."

"Father, I am very kind to you."

"Um."

"But you still went to Litian City."

"yes."

"Son of Heaven, that's it. It makes you grateful and makes you afraid."

"inappropriate."

"I know it's not appropriate. It applies to others, but it doesn't apply to you. You are more willing than all of us. What I admire most about you is that you seem to put your own life, your life, It is regarded as a social drama that will be performed in Yinlang Temple every year and festival."

"This one is appropriate."

"I can't be as free and easy as you are."

"You still need to improve."

"After you have children, you won't be so free and easy."

"It's time to have a baby again?"

"What do you want for lunch?"

"The breakfast has not been digested yet."

"Then go drink tea. The teahouses in the capital are also famous."

"It's not interesting."

"The teahouse has been telling your story for a while."

"I am thirsty."

Teahouse drinking tea,

Drink until noon.

When I was so hungry and the melon seeds and peanuts couldn't suppress my hunger, Zheng Boye and Ji Laoliu came out.

"How is it?" Ji Laoliu asked.

"After hearing my own story, I feel empowered."

In Mr. Storyteller's story, Uncle Zheng is a third-rank warrior who fought against the Eighteen Taibao of Chu State!

No one knows whether there are Eighteen Taibao in Chu State, maybe even the princess herself doesn't know;

certainly,

Uncle Zheng didn't know that he was already a peak warrior of the third rank.

from the teahouse,

Uncle Zheng felt that his footsteps were a little vain,

The chicken soup was filled a little too much and was about to overflow.

"What do you want for lunch, except roast duck?"

"I still want to eat roast duck."

"Quandelou Roast Duck is not good now."

"I've never found it delicious."

"OK."

Lunch at Quande Building.

Ji Laoliu ordered a roast duck and a pot of wine.

He shared the wine with Zheng Fan, and gave the roast duck to Eunuch Zhang alone.

They bought a few more dishes from the vendors at the entrance of Quande Building.

"In Yanjing City, there is a rule that if a store can make one sign, it can only make this sign. At the same time, it can't help but set up a stall outside the door. If you want to add a dish, just ask them to bring it in. The store is not allowed to rush.

After all, even this store was built with the capital of a vendor. Maybe when his son and grandson take over, the eagle will turn into a chick again and have to go back to set up a stall. It's convenient for others and convenient for yourself. If you can eat seventy percent full, you have to save food for others to drink soup. "

"Why are you telling me these things, teaching me that my food is too ugly?" Uncle Zheng asked.

"I'm a businessman. I've told you this many times. Since I'm a businessman, I like to make money with kindness. Sometimes, I think some of your actions are too much."

Uncle Zheng shook his head and said, "I just want to be happy."

"Just wanting to be happy is actually a kind of selfishness."

"Being selfish, isn't it good?"

"Yes, very good."

"No, it's enough for a person to live in this life to have a good time."

"Hehe, this is said as if you have lived a lifetime and learned a lot."

"Maybe so."

"Sometimes, I feel helpless. In fact, I have a bigger heart than my second brother, and I don't like to do things to the extreme, but my second brother is really narrow-minded.

The reason why the eldest brother is on my side is because of this.

But the problem is,

Now outsiders, especially the honorable clan and the household department and some small local families, think that I am a cruel official, and the crown prince is a benevolent king. "

"A crow doesn't know it's black."

"what do you mean?"

"The position is different, the way is different. When you are in the position of prince, you will also become kind-hearted. In fact, I always think that people are all the same;

If you can live comfortably, who would want to face the loess and the sky for the rest of their lives?

If you can have wives and concubines in groups, why not be chic?

It's just that the location is different, and there is no way to choose as much as you want.

Man, still that man. "

"That's right."

"So, you are hypocritical."

"After all, you have been wandering around in front of me these past few days, and you have led me astray."

"Go one."

"Dry."

down a glass of wine,

Ji Chengjue said while pouring the wine:

"My third brother came out of the Huxin Pavilion."

"Could it be that the arrangement for the afternoon is to visit your third brother?"

"Stop adding salt to the wound, it's too cruel."

"How to talk, he can come out, I also helped."

"Then I'll let him come to thank you tonight with a gift?"

"I am a person who is willing to do good deeds, and I don't like to leave a name."

"What are you going to do this afternoon?"

"You are the tour guide."

"Tour guide? That's an appropriate word. The scenery in the back garden is very good, and the inside is the scenery of Jiangnan gardens in Qianguo."

"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you have a tiger, you won't have much to appreciate it."

"I heard that her father punished her to copy the Heart Sutra at home."

"Your Majesty is wise, I think the Four Books and Five Classics and various ancient classics can be read several times, which is very good for cultivating sentiment."

"Go horse racing outside the city? In the past two years, I have often practiced horsemanship."

"You can't outrun me."

"Not necessarily."

"I'm riding a Pixiu."

"..." Ji Laoliu.

afternoon,

I didn't go to the horse race, nor did I go to the back garden. Instead, I went to a Yingchunlou and drank flower wine all afternoon.

Ji Lao Liu ordered nine girls,

I and Zheng Fan were alone next to each other, three danced, and the other two sang.

But those who play are all vegetarians, at most they are taking advantage of it, but no one really goes into the back room to borrow incense couch.

at dusk,

The two came out a little drunk.

Ji Laoliu reached out and patted Uncle Zheng on the shoulder, and asked:

"how?"

"Next time, don't come to this kind of place. It's bad for us to spread the word."

"Tired of being famous? If they know that you are the famous Uncle Hirano, they will definitely recommend themselves."

"If they know you are the prince, they will be even more mad."

"I'm going to meet my third brother. Look at this day, it's so late. Don't go to be afraid that it will be too late."

"You go, I won't go."

At this time,

Next to Eunuch Zhang's carriage, stood a man dressed in black.

"See Uncle."

The man showed his secret agent badge.

Ji Chengjue rubbed his eyes and said:

"What?"

"I beg Eunuch Wei to let me meet the Savage King."

"Oh, okay, it seems that Eunuch Wei is willing to take this convenience, then you go, I will take the carriage to the prince's mansion."

"I'm a guest, so I'll definitely use the carriage."

"This is my carriage."

"I'm a guest."

at last,

As a last resort,

The two people who attached great importance to security and were extremely afraid of death, went back to the Sixth Prince's mansion together in a carriage.

Uncle Zheng got out of the car,

The sixth prince went to the prince's mansion in his own carriage, while Uncle Zheng took the blind man, Gou Moli and Juggernaut with him, got into the carriage driven by Eunuch Zhang, and went to the secret spy department's capital prison.

The "Savage King" was locked in the deepest part of the prison.

Someone from the Secret Service moved a chair for Uncle Zheng to sit on, and Uncle Zheng sat down.

Juggernaut, Gou Moli and Blind Man stood beside Uncle Zheng.

in the cage,

Ali opened his eyes slowly.

His gaze swept across Zheng Fan, and also the three people behind him.

Then,

he bowed his head,

Laughed,

Laugh louder and louder.

He laughed for a long time,

Cough from laughing, continue to laugh after coughing, and then continue to cough;

He kept laughing until he was exhausted and his throat became hoarse, but he still held the iron chain with both hands, and continued to open his mouth at Zheng Fan.

"The stars are immortal, the saints live forever!"

"The stars are immortal, the saints live forever!"

until the last time I left,

Uncle Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, didn't say a word.

Just like in Jinwang Mansion and Wen Sutong Mansion, there are not many places in the capital where one can speak normally.

In the several cells next to the cage of the Savage King, God knows whether the prisoners are prisoners.

Subsequently,

Uncle Zheng left the cell with his men.

outside,

A red-robed eunuch was waiting there.

"Slave pays respects to Uncle Hirano."

This person should be the leader of the secret spy department and Wei Zhonghe's subordinate.

"Uncle, you don't seem to have said anything?"

Zheng Fan smiled,

He reached out and patted the red-robed eunuch's shoulder, and then put his arms around him,

road:

"Looking at the defeated generals of the past, this feeling is already comfortable enough. Saying a word is a waste. Eunuch, do you think it makes sense?"

"It's the reason, it's the reason."

Before leaving, Uncle Zheng took out a small handful of golden melon seeds and stuffed them into the father-in-law's hand.

"Uncle, you can't do this, you can't do it, how dare a slave want your gold."

"So, so, please trouble Eunuch to report to Eunuch Wei later, saying that I have said a lot to the Savage King. It's no good to joke about Ben."

"Hehehe, make it, make it."

immediately,

Uncle Zheng got into the carriage driven by Eunuch Zhang and left.

inside the carriage,

Gou Moli felt a little melancholy.

Uncle Zheng closed his eyes slightly.

Gou Moli stretched out three fingers,

road;

"The savages in the snow field will send out 30,000 young and strong to attack the city of Dayan."

………

During the day, although he drank two meals of wine, Uncle Zheng failed to fall asleep early at night.

I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow, but I'm not reluctant, just a little lonely.

He doesn't have Huang Chao's pride of waiting until autumn comes and September 8th, when my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will kill,

some,

It's just a faint thought that seems to know that when I come back next time, things will be different.

This kind of thought has been lingering in my heart.

The blind man didn't rest, but sat by the bed, silently recalling what he had seen and heard in the past few days. Among all the devil kings, the blind man was the most enthusiastic about rebellion.

Because other demon kings have their own hobbies, but the blind man's hobby is rebellion.

The Savage King didn't rest either, he curled up in the corner, the embroidered shoe had been thrown aside, he covered his left face, laughing and crying for a while.

He Chunlai and Chen Daole sat opposite each other and drank tea. The tea was bitter, but in their hearts, it was actually even more bitter.

This is Yanjing, the heart of Dayan. When they came here, they dared not do anything.

Inside the prince's mansion,

It was extremely lively.

The third prince left the Huxin Pavilion, and the brothers drank together.

Even Xiao Qi was sent out by his mother and concubine, but his brothers were drinking, and he sat beside him drinking iced drinks.

The prince didn't come, but he sent two altars of good wine.

Ji Laoliu is not a practitioner after all, he doesn't drink as well as Uncle Zheng, and he has already had two meals during the day, and he is already drunk, pointing to the two jars of wine sent by the prince,

cursed:

"This heartless thing is still a brother, a brother who is a fart, he won't even meet him!

On the clan side,

Xungui over there,

Everyone said that I, Ji Laoliu, was a pickpocket, that I was cold-blooded, that I was stingy, that I was a cruel official, hahahahaha, and everyone said that his prince is benevolent, what kind of benevolence is he!

cold blooded,

shameless,

Don't show mercy! "

at last,

Ji Laoliu, who was drunk, was transported back by Mr. Zhang in a carriage.

It is said that

After he was drunk, he continued to scold the prince, as ugly as he wanted.

...

next morning,

Uncle Zheng picked up the princess who was leaving the palace at the gate of the palace. When the princess came out, she was accompanied by a princess carriage. The Ji family was very generous and accompanied them with eighty eunuchs, one hundred and sixteen maids, and more than twenty boxes of various gifts.

Uncle Zheng left the gift and accompanying eunuchs and maids at the Sixth Prince's house, letting him watch the arrangements, make jokes, how long would it take him to return to Xuehai Customs with this large group of people and things?

Go back this time,

Not even a carriage,

All the personal guards came out on horseback, and galloped as soon as they left Beijing.

The princess was sitting in Zheng Fan's arms, and there was no problem with Pixiu carrying two people.

"Sir, why are you in such a hurry to go home?"

Uncle Zheng replied loudly:

"Hit your house."

………

In May of the third year of Yongping,

On the birthday of Concubine Ming, the emperor praised Concubine Ming for her virtuousness and courtesy, and was registered as a noble concubine, and a grand banquet was held;

During the banquet, Chu musicians were invited to play "Ancient Song of Yangchun" to add to the fun;

In the middle of the song, the musician draws a knife on the bottom of the qin to stab the king;

The prince sacrificed his life to save him, and died from the knife;

The emperor was furious.

Good night.
