Ancient promotion routine

Zhao Wang was in pain, and at this time his heart had turned from a small anger into a big fire. He didn't expect that Zhang Yanjin would dare to do it, and he didn't want to win him over. Today, he must not let him go, just beat him up to calm down.

"Stop, fifth!" When King Zhao swung his fist towards Zhang Yanjin's face, and Zhang Yanjin was about to take a hard punch, a clear male voice sounded behind Zhang Yanjin.

Zhao Wang not only didn't stop when he heard the voice, but his hands seemed to be a little bit colder.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, the crown prince has an invitation."

The one who stopped King Zhao was none other than Li Mingrui, the bodyguard next to the emperor.

Zhao Wang saw that Li Mingrui still did not give up, but the emperor's first sword guard was not easy to get rid of. He stood in front of Zhang Yanjin, and Zhao Wang had no chance to make another move.

"Hmph, I'm not free." Zhao Wang naturally heard the prince's voice. He usually couldn't see the prince's sick appearance, but he didn't dare to provoke the prince. After all, the prince was very fragile. If something happened to the prince in front of him, Zhao Wang would not be able to tell even if he opened his mouth ten times before the emperor.

"Thank you, Guard Li." Zhang Yanjin said.

"It's not me that Mr. Zhang wants to thank, but His Highness the Crown Prince. I'm just passing by here with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Mingrui waved his hand and politely rejected Zhang Yanjin's thank you gift. He couldn't bear this feeling. Although Zhao Wang acted recklessly, if he didn't have the order of His Royal Highness, he would not have dared to help rashly.

Prince?Zhang Yanjin looked at the man behind the tree, but did not turn his head to this side. The sound of stopping just now seemed to come from the other side.

"Then I can trouble Guard Li to take me forward and thank the prince!"

"Master Zhang, please follow me."

Zhang Yanjin followed behind Li Mingrui, first there were King Wei and King Jin, then King Zhao who came to find fault today, and now even the prince who seldom goes out on weekdays was bumped into by him.

"Zhang Yanjin has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Ahem, there is no need to be polite." The prince coughed after saying this.

"Just now the fifth brother offended Mr. Zhang a little bit, and I will apologize for Mr. Zhang on behalf of the fifth." After the prince finished speaking, he cupped his hands and faced Zhang Yanjin.

How could Zhang Yanjin accept such a gift from the prince, he took a step away and bent down to bow again.When the prince met, he apologized for King Zhao and didn't ask what was right and what was wrong.It can be seen that this Zhao Wang often harms others on weekdays.

The king of Zhao had no sense of respect for the prince just now, and the prince's actions at this moment showed his elder brother's demeanor.This gave Zhang Yanjin a new understanding of the prince.

"I've heard about Mr. Zhang's reputation for a long time, but now that I see him, his demeanor is really extraordinary. Could Mr. Zhang tell me about this outside matter?"

The crown prince didn't mention Zhang Yanjin's fight with Zhao Wang before, but he avoided Zhang Yanjin's embarrassment.

The relationship between him and King Zhao has been formed since then. Since the crown prince has no intention of favoring his own people, it is impossible for Zhang Yanjin to help King Zhao.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know where to start?" Zhang Yanjin didn't know what the prince's true intentions were, but he didn't seem to have the intention of making things difficult, and he was a little confused about the direction.

"Let's start with your golden iron horse and Datong coal mine."

The prince paused for a moment, as if he was seriously thinking about Zhang Yanjin's question. He had lived in the palace for a long time, although he had the world of the Great Zhou in his heart, but his health was weak, and he had no chance to travel all over the land of the Great Zhou.

Zhang Yanjin was a little puzzled, but she couldn't leave right now, so she began to slowly tell what she had seen and heard according to the prince's request.

"Wonderful, wonderful, it is true that Mr. Zhang said it in more detail." After listening to Zhang Yanjin's narration, the prince seemed to have walked the path Zhang Yanjin had walked. Hearing this, he felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

"Master Zhang is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable."

"Such a good thing that benefits the people and the country will depend on young talents like Mr. Zhang in the future." The prince praised Zhang Yanjin's actions very much, but it was a pity that he could not go to the scene to see it in person.

When Zhang Yanjin saw the prince, she sincerely agreed with her actions, and was also happy in her heart.Unexpectedly, this prince also has the idea of ​​rejuvenating the country through industry and building roads before getting rich. It is rumored that the prince is weak and has no tolerance.When Zhang Yanjin saw her today, she felt that those rumors were nothing but nonsense.The prince is open-minded, and his behavior is also like that of a prince, which is not as good as the rumors.

"His Royal Highness is over-reputed. Zhang Yanjin is only able to do small things by uniting the strength of everyone and relying on the guidance of the elders in the family. His Royal Highness is the pillar of the country..."

Before Zhang Yanjin finished speaking, His Highness the Crown Prince's coughing started again.

Zhang Yanjin also sighed a little when he saw that His Royal Highness was so weak.

"His Royal Highness, you should go back to rest." Li Mingrui said beside him.

The prince didn't bring a maid with him when he went out today, and he was the only guard by his side, so he wouldn't have been delayed on the road for such a long time.

Li Mingrui glanced at Zhang Yanjin.

Zhang Yanjin understood immediately, and persuaded: "His Royal Highness, please go back to rest earlier, it is very cold and foggy today, and it is easy to catch cold."

"Well, I also know that my body is not up to par. It seems that I can't listen to Mr. Zhang's story today. If Mr. Zhang has any new knowledge in the future, don't forget to come and sit in my palace. "

"Yes, Zhang Yanjin remembers it, and sends it off to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Do you have something to do tomorrow, why don't you enter the palace again tomorrow? I'll wait for you in the East Palace." The prince turned around and thought for a while, thinking that Mr. Zhang might not have time to come to his East Palace in the future, so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Zhang Yanjin looked at the smile on the prince's bluish face, thinking that the prince would die of illness within two years, and Emperor Sheng Yuan cried bitterly, thinking that everyone inside and outside the court knew that the prince would not take time, so getting close to him would be afraid The emperor would not feel that he had any ulterior motives, so he nodded immediately.

Li Mingrui bowed his hands to Zhang Yanjin, and followed the prince to escort the prince back to the palace.The prince's figure looked a little unstable, but he didn't rest on the hand that Li Mingrui sent over.

Looking at Zhang Yanjin, he was a little bit sour, and he was jealous of talents. This prince's personality and thinking were many times stronger than that of King Zhao, but he didn't have many close friends around him. It was really not easy to be born in the royal family.

It was already afternoon when Zhang Yanjin returned home, and went to the restaurant again, seeing Li Ying's layout of the wine cellar, she was full of praise.

This Li Ying not only has quick thinking, but also has the same ability to act. It took only half a day to arrange the new wine cellar properly.

"The oilcloth on the top of the wine cellar is well used, and it is covered with cotton cloth. The smell of the wine is contained within a square inch. When the lid is opened, it will be fragrant. Li Ying, your method is really good."

Li Ying smiled, how could this little trick of his own compare with Zhang Yanjin.But to get the affirmation of his friends, Li Ying was naturally happy in his heart.

"This is still inspired by you, but it's just a wine cellar, it won't be long enough for you, Mr. Zhang, to feel so emotional."

Knowing that he was joking, Zhang Yanjin said, "Okay, don't praise me."

Li Ying nodded, and he followed Zhang Yanjin out of the wine cellar, and the two chatted about the recycling benefits of the restaurant's membership system recently.

"Your method is really effective. Recently, a lot of people have come to change their membership, and the restaurant's passenger flow can only continue. The follow-up new place is also being developed. Recently, you can live a peaceful life."

"Yes." Zhang Yanjin listened to her friend's nagging, and her heart became much more peaceful, unlike being full of things in the palace center.

"Hey, what's the matter with the corner of your eye? Could it be that you went to the hero to save it?" Li Ying looked at the corner of Zhang Yanjin's dark blue eye, which happened to be blocked by Zhang Yanjin's hair, and he could only see a little mark from the side.

"There are no stories about heroes saving the beauty, only stories about heroes helping each other." Zhang Yanjin spread his hands and said.

The wound that Ruifu didn't notice was discovered by Li Ying, probably because he relaxed a little in front of Li Ying and deliberately pretended to be at home.

"Come, there are wines and stories, all ears." Li Ying poured Zhang Yanjin a glass of appetizing fruit wine.

Zhang Yanjin then slowly recounted what happened in the palace today with the appetizers.

"I didn't expect you to meet that unreasonable bastard Zhao Wang, next time you don't show mercy, the bastard things Zhao Wang has done are ranked No. what did you say"

Zhang Yanjin nodded when she heard what Li Ying said.

"But you met the prince, it's luck." Li Ying shook his head.

Hearing this, Zhang Yanjin was at a loss. Even if the prince didn't go out much, it wouldn't be a surprise to meet him in the palace, right?

"how do I say this?"

"I don't know how many magic doctors have been invited for the prince's illness, but none of them has improved. Rumors say that the prince will not live long. Normally, the prince stays in the East Palace and hardly leaves the palace. Today you actually met the prince in the garden of the palace. Not luck."

Li Ying's tone contained an imperceptible pity.

"You know the prince very well? What else do you know?"

Li Ying's words successfully aroused Zhang Yanjin's curiosity.

"How can a dude like me have any friendship with the prince? It's my father, who used to always feel sorry for the prince's illness, so I'm just talking to you." Li Ying waved his hands. "Why are you so interested in the prince like my father?"

"It's nothing, let's eat." Zhang Yanjin didn't answer Li Ying's question, and secretly sighed in her heart, the person who can make admonishing doctors talk about it is either a heinous person or a kind and loving person.The prince can never be the former.

Li Ying was now concentrating on the restaurant, and stopped talking about it, but chatted with Zhang Yanjin about the restaurant's development.

………………

The next day in the East Palace, the prince got up early and asked someone to open the window to diffuse the medicine.

When Zhang Yanjin went to the Prince's Mansion, what he saw was a scene full of vitality.The eyes are either green plants or flowers.There is no wealth of the palace, nor the luxury of the palace.

"Master Zhang, please come in. His Royal Highness is waiting in the back room." The eunuch in charge of the Prince's Mansion, Liu De, opened the door to welcome Zhang Yanjin.

"Thank you, Manager Liu." At the door of the main room, Zhang Yanjin thanked Liu De no longer.

"Master Zhang is polite, His Royal Highness is waiting for you inside, please."

Zhang Yanjin pushed open the door and went in alone. There were no maids and eunuchs waiting inside, so Zhang Yanjin could only walk in slowly by herself.

"Ahem, is Master Zhang here?"

The sound of coughing was intermittent, and it was a bit uncomfortable to hear.

"Meet His Royal Highness"

Zhang Yanjin followed the voice and came to the back room.The house is immaculately clean.Apart from a large cushion for sitting on the ground and a large table, there are not many decorations.

"Master Zhang is free, please sit down!"

Seeing that Zhang Yanjin didn't come to the appointment on time but came two quarters of an hour earlier, the prince couldn't help but feel a little happy.It is rare to have guests in this East Palace, so it seems a bit bleak.

"Master Zhang laughed. This East Palace inevitably looks a little poor. I am a person who is about to enter the earth. I am a bit simple in normal times. Today I have to wrong Master Zhang to sit at the same table with me."

Generally, banquet guests in the mansion will place different numbers of tables under the main table, but the crown prince's move clearly left Zhang Yanjin no chance to choose.

Being able to sit at the same table with the prince is a kind of affirmation to the visitor.Naturally, Zhang Yanjin would not ask the prince to ask someone to re-set the table out of tact.

"The prince loves you so much."

"My lord Zhang is a good talent of Zhou, as it should be." The prince smiled and poured tea for Zhang Yanjin.

This agreement seems to be a debate among folk scholars.

Zhang Yanjin regretted the prince's talent, and admired the prince's advanced management thinking and thinking mode.

"Zhang Qing's concrete road construction method is very clever. After I discussed this road with my father before, our territory of Da Zhou will expand a hundred times."

Talking about the policy of governing the country and Anmin's ruling, the prince is like a polished pearl at the moment, with high spirits.On the contrary, the sickness on his face has faded a lot.

Zhang Yanjin was surprised at the moment, he originally thought that the emperor was a wise king, tolerant of others.I didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to give way. No wonder I thought there was something wrong with it before. How could the Emperor agree to my request so easily.It seems that the prince has done a lot of things behind his back.

cough cough.

Even though the prince was coughing, he still kept expressing his views on Zhang Yanjin's thoughts and actions.Zhang Yanjin admired every sentence to the point.

The Prince's analysis of the interests of the development of the Datong Coal Mine was more in-depth than Zhang Yanjin thought, and he could even think of the possible resource crisis that would be brought about later. Zhang Yanjin couldn't help but admire him.

"The continuation of the Datong Coal Mine has an irreplaceable role in the prosperity of Datong. Now the military and civil affairs are inseparable from the coal mines, but it is not a good way to sit and eat. The gold and silver mines will be exhausted one day. , this coal mine is not inexhaustible, is it?" The prince expressed the thoughts that have been trapped in his heart in recent days, expecting Zhang Yanjin to give him an answer.

"His Royal Highness is right. There is nothing in this world that can be used for free. Datong's coal mine resources are naturally limited. However, with our current mining speed, it cannot be mined within a hundred years. But that's all. We can't let it go"

Zhang Yanjin paused and said: "Coal mines can bring visible benefits, but long-term mining damage to the mountains and forests is inevitable. Excessive mining may cause water and soil loss. When the heavy rain hits, the lives of the people in Datong will definitely be ruined." Not as good as it is now, although these problems will not happen for a while."

His Royal Highness heard Zhang Yanjin's words, and his brows were also frowned. He had read similar content in related classics before and still didn't understand. Hearing Zhang Yanjin's words today, the mist in his mind instantly cleared up .

"Soil erosion? But it leads to mudlogging and flooding?"

"Yes, the consequence of long-term development without governance is that there is a great possibility of man-made disasters." Zhang Yanjin knows that there is no concept of environmental governance these days. Even in modern times, not everyone is aware of the destruction that damage to the environment may bring sexual consequences.

Even though he consciously instilled these concepts with the locals in Datong, he did not achieve significant results.

"Then how to manage it?"

The prince asked humbly.

Although there has not been a precedent in the Great Zhou Dynasty, being prepared for danger in times of peace and taking precautions before it happens can often fundamentally reduce injuries more than temporary remedies.

"Restore and unblock."

"You mean to restore the original appearance and open up the river? This is a good idea. Although it may take longer, it can fundamentally solve these problems that may arise in the future."

"His Royal Highness, High opinion," Zhang Yanjin sincerely praised.Not limited to the status quo, Zhang Yanjin's overall thinking and foresight opened his eyes.You must know that these things are slowly formed by modern people through continuous falls and blows.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Zhang Yanjin saw some blood coughing up from the mouth of His Highness the Crown Prince, and couldn't help being a little surprised, is he already so seriously ill?

"Don't worry, it's just a little excited, I'm used to it."

The prince took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a few pills and took it. After a while, a normal flush appeared on his face.

Zhang Yanjin looked at the prince who looked like a normal person, but she didn't feel relieved.

"This medicine?"

"No problem, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. It can alleviate my condition, but there are some after-effects. My body is already at the end of its strength. It doesn't make much difference if there is more or less. The ending is always ashes to ashes , soil to soil."

Hearing the prince's sudden words, Zhang Yanjin had other plans in her heart.

"I'm counting down the days now, and I don't know Zhang Qing's good fortune in the future. This change in the court situation is no longer something that the crown prince in name can see and meddle in. Everyone looks at me, the East Palace, but I don't know how to deal with it." Ask Zhang Qing for advice on this way of benefiting the people."

Zhang Yanjin didn't know how to answer the prince's situation when he heard it.

"It's all right if someone who is sincere for the people wins the position of the East Palace. The current rich wolves, tigers and leopards are all interested in the power of this position, and they all want to take the opportunity to climb up. Zhang Qing will be polished in the future." Eye."

The crown prince didn't wait for Zhang Yanjin to reply, the imperial court's fight for the crown prince was already an open battle, and the young princes were ready to make a move. If it wasn't for his father, Huang Nianxi, he might have been kicked out of the position of crown prince long ago.

The crown prince can say these things himself, but Zhang Yanjin cannot comment on them. Fortunately, the crown prince did not intend to embarrass Zhang Yanjin, but he cherishes Zhang Yanjin's talent and would like to say a few more words.

"Zhang Qing can pay attention to the wind direction in three directions in the future. King Wei is favored, and the foreign forces are the most powerful. King Jin is cynical on the surface, but in fact he is good at winning people's hearts. The network of relationships in the capital circle is huge and complicated. Although King Zhao acted recklessly It's a little bit, but there are capable people to help, and the current balance of power among the three parties has given me, the prince, a quiet environment."

The prince coughed a few times and then continued: "Look, Zhang Qing, is it true that I, the prince, are the most annoying, standing position and unable to compete, just like to make the people watching anxious."

Zhang Yanjin heard what the prince seemed to be talking to himself, and couldn't help but replied: "His Royal Highness is worrying too much, you still have to take care of your body first, then I will have the opportunity to show my shame."

"Hahaha, okay, what a show of shame, Zhang Qing doesn't seem to be a fool, but if the situation is too big, Zhang Qing might as well go back to Zhongzhou to have a look, maybe there are some unexpected gains?"

Zhang Yanjin was startled, then bowed and said, "Thank you His Royal Highness for your guidance, Zhang Yanjin has been taught."

But within a few hours, His Royal Highness called Zhang Yanjin from Mr. Zhang to Zhang Qing. If it wasn't for his status, Zhang Yanjin seemed to think that His Royal Highness could do things that would make him dumbfounded.

The crown prince left Zhang Yanjin to have dinner in the East Palace, and the two chatted until the sunset in the afternoon. During this period, if His Royal Highness was not physically unable to hold on, Zhang Yanjin predicted that she would not be able to return home until late at night.

Zhang Yanjin, who returned home, was caught by his uncle.

"What have you been up to lately, there are two days left to be your big gift, you should take good care of it at home." Ning Guogong said.

Listening to his uncle's gentle reprimand, Zhang Yanjin nodded and said yes, the day after tomorrow is her wedding day.

"I will take care of him at home in the future. I am so lucky to be uncle these few days." Being a son of man has the attitude of being a son of man, and Duke Ning is also generous to Zhang Yanjin, even though Zhang Yanjin is essentially an outsider, but for uncle Ning Guogong, Zhang Yanjin pays equal attention to respect and love.

"You should go to see the old lady. She has been thinking about you every day these days." Ning Guogong watched Zhang Yanjin's change, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. From a playboy to the young hero praised by everyone today, he couldn't help Thinking of whether the mother's tolerance really had a lot of influence on the child.

"Yes, uncle!"

Zhang Yanjin then went to the old lady's yard to say hello, had dinner with the old lady and told a few modern jokes, and coaxed the old lady to happily eat an extra bowl of rice before returning to her yard.
