Chapter 57 The Countryside(1/2)
"This King of Yan is interesting."
Mo Zhai nodded slightly.
He knew that the poor ninth prince was deposed to Yanzhou by the current emperor.
He also heard about the recovery of the King of Yan's brain disease.
After all, what the leisurely generals of Yanguan like to spread the most is the ridiculous things in the court.
"This King of Yan is interesting. From obscurity to now, the noise has become increasingly louder and louder. It is said that Yuan Li has visited him in person. Well, this time it seems that I will leave for this magical medicine." Mo Zhai threw down the book.
Li Xingjian said: "Even if it is not for this magical medicine, the general should go. He will attract King Yan as a helper, which can cause some trouble to the Yuan family."
Mo Zhai nodded.
After all, the King of Yan was all princes, and his Mo family has been loyal to the royal family for generations.
As chaotic as today, there are no different ambitions.
But now he is lonely in Yanzhou, and he often feels uneasy.
After all, if Yanguan is in a mistake, the Northern Di will enter directly, and Dasong will break the mountains and rivers.
The Yuan family is a tiger and wolf-like heart, and he dare not believe it easily.
If he went to Yan County this time and realized that the King of Yan could be used, he would become the current emperor and make Yan County and Yan Pass a squat and guard Yanzhou.
...
Yancheng.
Although Zhao Xu wore the thinnest long gown, he still felt hot.
At this time, he began to miss the contemporary vests and shorts.
But it's not all that bad.
At least, when the little maid helps him change clothes, he can see infinite spring through their slightly open collars.
"Your Highness..."
Luan'er's cheeks showed a slight camel redness.
I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or Zhao Xu’s eyes are too hot.
"Hmph..." Zhao Xu withdrew his gaze and kept smirking.
Luan'er smiled shyly and was used to the invasion of the King of Yan's eyes on her.
For her, this has become a tacit play between the master and the servant.
"Your Highness, the letter from the capital." Feng'er twisted her waist and came in.
Seeing that Zhao Xu's clothes were not yet worn, he picked up the belt and walked around Zhao Xu's waist and tied it up.
Zhao Xu took the letter.
A few days ago, he asked the Dong family to send him a letter and hand it over to Guanzhong in Jinling, asking him to bribe Liang Cheng and send him a message.
At least let Emperor Zhao Heng and the ninth prince’s mother in the palace know about him.
At this point in time, it is indeed time to have a receipt.
Feng'er gave him two letters.
The first letter was written by Guan Zong, and the second letter was written by the ninth prince's mother, Guiren Mi.
He first took off the letter from the tube and glanced at it.
In the letter, Guan Zhongyan said that he had sent Liang Cheng ten thousand taels of silver, and at the same time promised the subsequent benefits to Liang Cheng.
After he came back, Liang Cheng deliberately sent his servant to the business bank and sent a plaque to the business bank.
After going around, Liang Cheng deliberately protected the business.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu breathed a light sigh.
If Liang Cheng does this, his chamber of commerce will be safer in the capital.
As for the emperor, Guan Zhong said that the oral message brought by Liang Cheng was not issued by the emperor.
Then, he opened the letter from Guiren Mi.
I saw tears on the letter, which read: "Xu'er, since you left Yan County, you have missed me day and night, and often went to Xiangguo Temple to pray. Now I learned that my son's brain disease has been cured, and my mother was overjoyed and had no regrets in her life. Now I just hope that you are diligent in Yan County, love the people, and do not act wildly. When you visit your relatives, you, my mother and I will meet again, which is what your father wants..."
Zhao Xu finished reading one sentence after another and sighed slightly.
He inherited everything from the ninth prince, and also inherited the emperor's father and the noble mother of a noble man.
In my memory, Zhao Heng was strict and indifferent to him, so he naturally had little feelings for Zhao Heng, not like father and son, but more like a monarch and minister.
And for Concubine Mi, the memory is warm.
After all, she is a person who doesn’t have many people in this world and can care for the ninth prince.
"What the father is looking for." As he chewed this sentence, Zhao Xu felt something was wrong.
This sentence was obviously telling him that Zhao Heng had gone to see her and said something about him. This sentence was also what Zhao Heng asked her to add in.
At the end of the letter, there are two sentences, just for Luaner and Fenger, and they are told to take care of Zhao Xu carefully.
Zhao Xu glanced at the two girls, and their eyes immediately turned red.
At this time, the clothes were already worn.
Zhao Xu walked out of the bedroom and gently locked his eyebrows.
Emperor Zhao Heng did not dare to issue an order to comfort him.
But he did this in the letter from Concubine Mi, obviously because he had his own little thoughts.
After thinking for a little, he had a guess in his mind.
Zhao Heng did not make any public statement, first, he may not pay attention to himself and would like to continue to wait and see; second, he may be afraid that the local forces in Yanzhou will be unfavorable to him, so through Concubine Mi, he left room for the two of them.
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly.
This Emperor Song has a lot of thoughts.
However, if he was not very careful, he might not be able to stay on the throne for so long.
The power clan of Dasong is not so easy to deal with.
"The only one of the twelve princes, I am the only one who has left the fiefdom of the vassal state. Everyone is in the capital, fighting for power and profit. Everyone has the power clan behind them. No matter who is the emperor, they are afraid they will become the pawn of the power clan." Zhao Xu sneered.
It is a tradition to enfeoff the princes of the Great Song Dynasty.
But for the princes, they were unwilling to go to the fiefdom.
After all, who is willing to leave the prosperous capital?
Furthermore, once you leave the capital, you will leave the center of power and have no chance of being with the throne.
Moreover, the fiefdom of Dasong cannot be inherited, and the descendants can only enjoy some salary after their death, which is even less necessary for a capable prince to manage it.
Therefore, generally speaking, most princes will only send their confidants in the mansion to manage the fiefdom.
"That poison, my fairy grass." Zhao Xu shook his head.
In the eyes of other princes, he must be pitiful. No one supports him and can only come to this barren land to suffer.
But he saw other princes like Gu in the jar, fighting each other in the capital, which was meaningless.
After shaking his head, Zhao Xu threw these thoughts out.
His goal has always been firm, that is, to work hard to manage his fiefdom.
When he turns Yan County into a fortress, no matter how far he is outside, he will never fall. No matter what Zhao Heng's attitude towards him!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared in his mouth.
This smile was also for Zhao Heng's careful intention to him.
At least it seems that Zhao Heng hopes that he will balance the Yuan family.
I was just worried that his strength would be too weak and would be backfired.
If he felt that his strength was impossible to erase the Yuan family.
He believed that Zhao Heng would support him openly at that time.
Just as he was thinking, he saw Liu Fu's figure appearing in front of the arch of the backyard and stopping there.
After sorting out his clothes, he walked towards Liu Fu.
Today he discussed with Liu Fu that he would go to the countryside to inspect.
His policies have been implemented in a village.
He needs to see if the officials in the government office have done it well.
Outside the door, Xu Lie had prepared a horse for Zhao Xu.
The group walked along the north and south roads of Yan County towards the north and north of the city.
