Chapter 109 Raozhou City
"Your Highness, King Han, please come in." Eunuch An saw the waiting King Han from a distance. He took three steps and two steps in front of him. He saluted King Han and made a gesture to let King Han go first.
"Eunuch An, what has the king been busy with in the palace recently? I haven't been to the palace for a few days." King Han is also very busy these days. The secret guard he formed has recently been targeted by the Jing'an Division of the Northern Song Dynasty.
, I lost my hands repeatedly and had a lot of headaches.
"Your Majesty is still like that, reviewing memorials, watching songs and dances, and writing lyrics and music in his spare time. This old servant doesn't know much about these things, but Prince Jiang has been here quite frequently recently. Yesterday, he even gave your Majesty a beauty, it seems.
I found it from Yangzhou, and your Majesty likes it quite a lot." As a popular person around your Majesty, Eunuch An has always been very clear and can't say it in front of others, but the King of Han is different. This is your Majesty's younger brother, the most trusted by the king, and he treats others well.
He is kind, and his friendship with Mr. An is also good.
"Humph, you show your courtesy when you have nothing to do. If you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief." King Han has never been used to this Prince Jiang. This person has a lot of evil deeds, but he can't touch him lightly.
"There are some things that His Royal Highness King Han can say, but this old slave can't say. Moreover, Prince Jiang is also very enthusiastic towards Eunuch Xiao, and this old slave is jealous." Eunuch An is on an equal footing with him in Jinling City.
, that is, Xiao Yi, who is in charge of the internal defense. Although the two of them grew up together with Li Yu, they couldn't see eye to eye with each other and could not defeat each other. In fact, this is also Li Yu's balancing technique. Only when his subordinates restrain each other can he survive.
Be safe.
"Mr. An, it's not easy to find something that makes you jealous." King Han knew that there was something in Gong An's words, but the inner guards were the private soldiers of the king, so he couldn't say anything. Although they were brothers, who could
There is no little secret, just like he has a secret guard, and he does not allow others to interfere.
"A thousand-year-old ginseng from Liaodong, I heard that if it grows into a human form, it can help people regenerate their severed limbs." An Gonggong shook his head. This Xiao Yi doesn't like reading, but he is good at martial arts. He may have been deceived by Prince Jiang.
Yes, there is no such thing.
"I also have this thousand-year-old ginseng in my collection, but is it humanoid? Even if it is, it is impossible to be reborn after severed limbs. There is no record of such a thing throughout the ages." King Han couldn't help but shook his head, referring to deer as horses since the Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Gao started to calculate, there are eunuchs in power everywhere, if there is such a thing, how can they not get it? It will be your turn, Xiao Yi.
"It is said that when Chai Shizong was ill in the later Zhou Dynasty, he sent people to Liaodong to search, and we already had some clues. But how could the Khitan people fulfill his wish? Naturally, they obstructed him in every possible way. Later, Chai Shizong died of illness, and the matter was settled.
"It's gone." Mr. An said as he walked all the way, these things sounded like the things in the storybook. Anyway, he didn't believe it and could only look forward to the afterlife.
"How can Prince Jiang get something that even Chai Shizong can't get? That's nonsense." King Han shook his head, not to mention that he didn't believe that such a thing existed, even if it did, it wouldn't be their turn. This place is far away from Liaodong.
The sky is high and the water is far away, and there are many obstacles along the way. This Xiao Yi is really blinded by lard. Besides, even if you really get it and grow that thing, you have to find a way to ask the emperor to cut it for you again.
"His Royal Highness, King Han, we are here, please come in." Eunuch An walked to the door, led him inside, and stayed at the door.
"Thank you, Mr. An." King Han cupped his hands and walked towards the main hall inside.
"Give King Han a seat, you all can go down." Li Yu was saying
Enjoy the singing and dancing, and the person leading the dance is Xie Meiren, who was presented by Prince Jiang yesterday, which is a bit new.
"Brother, have you finished reviewing today's memorial?" King Han sat down under Li Yu.
"Hey, it's rare for me to relax for a while. Dear brother, don't be disappointed. It won't be too late to review this memorial later." Li Yu thought, since there are officials from various ministries watching, it doesn't matter if he reviews this memorial later.
"Brother Imperial, Sun Yu, the governor of Jianzhou, just took office at the beginning of the year. It is only three months since Jianzhou was pacified. Why did the officials call him to report on his duties? Does the Imperial Brother know about this?" They are all brothers, and Sun Yu is also responsible for it.
There was no taboo about the recommendation, so King Han immediately asked straight to the point.
"Gu Zi is aware of this matter. Xu Shangshu, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, personally told Gu, what's wrong?" It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to evaluate officials. There are many officials coming to Jiangning for evaluation this time. The time of Sun Yu's appointment is indeed
It didn't last long, but his achievements were obvious to all. The officials called him back just to encourage him.
"Of course it's not appropriate. Jianzhou has just been decided. How can the chief officer leave lightly? Moreover, Jianzhou is too far away. Even if you ride a horse, it will take half a month. If there is another heavy snow and the road is blocked, you will not be able to return to Jianzhou until the beginning of next spring.
If something happens in Jianzhou during this period, who will bear the responsibility?" It doesn't matter if the road is blocked by heavy snow in Jiangning, no one can move anyway, but Jianzhou is different, the temperature there is much higher.
"I have forgotten this matter. Dear brother, don't worry. I will ask the officials to summon him again and tell him not to come to Jiangning." Li Yu slapped his thigh and forgot about the weather. It was already October.
It will snow in Jiangning within a month at most.
"Brother, forget it. It's taboo to change orders at night. It's estimated that Sun Yu will arrive in Jiangning in seven or eight days. If the official department can go through the procedures quickly, they should be able to make it in time. The official department summoned him.
Are you really just reporting on your work when you come back? But I heard rumors that the young hero Sun Yu will be in Jianzhou in March, so he should be promoted." This is the purpose of King Han's coming today. It is not easy for Sun Yu to stand in Jianzhou.
Keep your footing, if Gao Sheng's name is used to transfer him away from Jianzhou, it will be over.
"This happened? Who did it?" Li Yu was shocked when he heard this. He was still waiting for Sun Yu to expand his territory. How could he be transferred away? This point was still clear. But now that he has this
When the news broke out, I had to call Xu Xuan back to warn him and make sure nothing went wrong.
"Brother the emperor doesn't know about this matter. It seems that the internal guards have been lax. In my humble opinion, this matter is closely related to the Jing'an Department of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is better to be careful and vigilant." King Han took the opportunity to report to Eunuch Xiao's internal guards.
Eye drops were put on the head of Jing'an Si of the Northern Song Dynasty. I couldn't figure out who did it anyway.
"I know it, brother, don't worry, this Jianzhou can't be touched." Li Yu promised that his brother and his mother are not greedy for money, do not seek power, and are dedicated to assisting him. It is difficult for him to recommend a talent, and he will definitely not be able to do so.
It chilled his heart.
"Brother Imperial, my brother's Wenxiang Pavilion will hold an oiran competition tomorrow. Brother Emperor, do you have time to go with me?" Although they are blood brothers, Prince Jiang can't mention the matter of sending beauties away, as it is taboo. Since
Your prince can give it to you, and I can also give it to you. Moreover, I am taking the king out to have sex, which is much more exciting than being in the palace.
"Seriously? I have wanted to go to your Wenxiang Pavilion for a long time, but it has been inconvenient to leave the palace." When Li Yu heard this, he immediately became energetic. Staying in the palace every day was really boring.
"Tomorrow at Mao hour, my brother will come to pick up the emperor. Just wear casual clothes, otherwise there will be rumors.
It's not a good thing for the emperor's reputation." Since we are going out to play, we must not reveal our identity, otherwise we will have fun.
"Don't worry, dear brother, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong. It's just that the oiran will cost a lot of money. I have to go to the inner treasury to collect some money and take it with me." Li Yu thought, he, the majestic king of the country, must spend the spring night with the oiran, so he can't be stingy.
.
"No need, with the talent of the emperor brother and his elegant demeanor, why do you need gold and silver embellishments? I have a girl who recommends a pillow mat." King Han couldn't help but flatter him, he would definitely arrange it.
"My dear brother is still trustworthy. I will be here waiting for my dear brother tomorrow." Li Yu rubbed his hands in excitement. He had not even visited a brothel yet. Most of the great poets in the previous era had lingered in brothels, leaving behind a period of time.
How could I remain indifferent to such a romantic story?
"My brother is a little hungry. Let's go back and eat first." King Han touched his stomach and made a gesture to leave.
"What did you say, dear brother? Hurry up and start the meal. I want to have dinner with the King of Han." Tomorrow, I have to rely on this younger brother to take me flying. How can I let him go back with an empty stomach?
At this time, Sun Yu had just entered Raozhou City with his troops. He would spend the night in Raozhou tonight and continue his journey north tomorrow.
Raozhou City relies on Pengli Lake, which is also known as Poyang Lake in later generations. It is the largest freshwater lake and is connected to the Yangtze River. Water transportation is extremely developed. The water area of Pengli Lake today is much larger than that of later generations. The imperial court still has water here.
The army is stationed.
After Sun Yu and his entourage entered the city, they went straight to the post house. As an official, they stayed in the post house for free, and if they had an advantage, they would not take advantage of the bastard. Whenever Sun Yu entered the city, he always stayed in the post house.
"My lord, I want to rest here for one night. Please show me your official identity certificate so that you can register as a subordinate." Yi Cheng is also a discerning master. He has more than thirty horses with him, so he must have a lot of background.
, but you have to be careful.
"I am the governor of Jianzhou and have been granted the imperial title Zhongyong Bo. I am going to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report on my duties. I will rest here for one night." Sun Yu dismounted and handed over his official certificate. This is the rule of the post station.
"See you uncle, I'm so polite. Come with me quickly. Young children, take the horses to the backyard to cook, and clean the guest rooms quickly." Good boy, luckily I have a sharp eye, so this
But he is much more impressive than the governor of Raozhou. I have never seen such a young uncle in my life.
"Hurry up and get some food, brothers are all starving." Sun Yu picked up a twenty-tael silver and handed it over. There is no charge for this accommodation. If you want to eat well, you must pay for it yourself, otherwise this inn would have been destroyed long ago.
Empty.
"Uncle, this is too much, we can't use this much." There are only about thirty people in total. We are on the road and don't drink. How can we eat.
"I'll reward you with the rest. Boil more hot water, and all the brothers will take a bath." After traveling for days, your body is covered with dust, and you should wash it. If the dirt gets sick, it will also be a problem.
"Okay, thank you uncle, I will go and get ready now to make sure you all wash comfortably." Yi Cheng put the money away and thanked him profusely. This big man was so cheerful that he rewarded himself casually.
There are several taels. I need to go to the kitchen and give instructions to cook more meat.
Sun Yu, Evil Dog, Chen Qiba, and Han Zaiwu sat at one table, and the others sat at four tables. Within two sticks of incense, the dishes were served one after another, and there was a large bowl of rice on each table. This man in the army had a huge appetite.
