Emperor's Trophy

Marquis Zhaoxin was about to go on a trip, and Ding Dai was so busy that he kept his feet on the ground. He made arrangements as if he was preparing for a royal driving trip.

After everything was settled, I went to report to Ji Bingyuan. Ji Bingyuan nodded, and asked again: "Go to the Royal Pharmacy to pack all the commonly used medicines. I'm afraid there will be an epidemic. In addition, I will tell Qingsong to remember to sit for Ji Xianger and wait for the place every day." Smoke them all and keep them clean."

Ding Dai finally couldn't help but said: "The emperor is so reluctant, why bother to arrange for Lord Hou to go out again? If this disease is really contracted, it will be terrible. Lord Hou is still young, why don't you spend a few more years in Beijing to experience it. "

Ji Bingyuan said: "He has chosen his own path, I can't stop him."

In fact, Ding Dai could see that Ji Bingyuan was frowning, and he was not at ease at all, so he simply added fuel to the flames: "The emperor is not worried that Mr. Huai Su and Mr. Zhu have plans for Lord Hou?" He sent two maids to try, It is exactly the same as the previous family's trial son-in-law, the emperor is really worried.

Ji Bingyuan frowned and said: "Ji Huaisu has written a few solid theories, but he is young and has little knowledge. The previous few articles were written behind closed doors. Only this young man's ambition and dominance can be seen. But the latest article is mature and mature, it can be seen that he is commanding the overall situation from a high position, it seems that he has governed the country by himself, very regal style - but although the measures are old-fashioned, they are still floating in the air, as if the whole world should be his chessboard , The chess pieces can be moved at will, it is appropriate to let him go to the folks to see what life the common people are living, and the chess pieces may not be willing to let meat eaters move at will."

"It's good for Yunzhen to go out with him to practice and experience. This person is thoughtful and good at planning and overall planning--as for other aspects, I think Yunzhen is full of thoughts, and he doesn't care about love at all. He just wants to As for his bodyguard agency, this is what I like about him, and he is relentless in doing things, leaving no way out." Ji Bingyuan said: "Take your time."

Ding Dai complained in his heart, "Your Majesty, there is no sign on your face that you want to take your time. I think you can't wait to find out that kid who made Lord Xiaoyun go astray every day."

Ji Bingyuan was immersed in his own thoughts: "As for Ji Huaisu, he is either a great benefactor or a great hypocrite."

The water boiled, and three beautiful circles like crab eyes appeared. Zhu Jiang poured the boiling water into the teacup, and the fragrance of tea burst out.

Zhu Jiang carefully brought tea to the table before Yun Zhen, and murmured to him: "Why do you suddenly think of going to control the water? This is not a good job. It's really not why Ji Huaisu is so bold."

Yun Zhen said: "He still has some skills. Even the emperor thinks that his policy is well written. I think it is really good. Zhihe can be regarded as a relief for the emperor. The emperor can't leave the capital. Let's take a look and give it to him." He came back with the most authentic news." He also vaguely remembered that one year the river embankment burst, and many hungry people fled to the capital. In the first life, he opened a porridge shed, and in the second life, Ji Huaisu also complained to him, thinking that corrupt officials were harming the country. .

This life is because the emperor came to the palace and gave Ji Huaisu a chance to ask for his life, right?I remember that when the disaster happened in the past, the emperor was basically busy with political affairs in the previous dynasty.

Speaking of it, the emperor has been very busy in the past. Since he was a child when he entered the palace with his mother, every time he saw this "uncle emperor", he always kept silent and commented on papers, discussed matters with the ministers, and came to Xishan to make a clear statement. It was regarded as a summer escape, but the result was that boxes of memorials were rushed to Beijing every day.

Thinking of this, he felt that the emperor was working too hard, what should he think of to relieve the emperor?Tiantian is always so cold-faced to approve endless papers, discuss endless things, wait until the foreign enemy comes, and then lead the soldiers to fight, this world's supreme, what fun is there!

No wonder the emperor always smiled coldly, how boring, his eyes fell on the Tianzi sword enshrined on the side table, after receiving such a precious gift, he had to return it to the emperor.

Zhu Jiang peeled an orange, picked up a piece of orange and handed it to him: "The family will soon know what happened today. Just now, the family urgently asked someone to send a lot of luggage over, and my grandfather even sent me a letter. Letter, let me do my job well, don't steal credit, treat me like a fool, and write me a round carefully, give any credit to other nobles, don't show off, and don't push Zhao Xinhou to mess around."

Yun Zhen was eating oranges, and when he heard him complaining, he couldn't help laughing, and Zhu Jiang stuffed another orange for him: "Tell me, Ji Huaisheng is sending carriages, medicines, and food on the road." What to wear and what to wear, our family sent a basketful of lessons and advice!"

Yun Zhen giggled, and Zhu Jiang also smiled with an orange. When Ji Huaisu walked in, he saw two teenagers laughing at each other. The people were sitting very close and very affectionate. He looked away slightly as if he hurt his eyes. After a while, he straightened his expression and knocked on the door lightly, smiling: "What joke are you talking about? It's so funny."

Yun Zhen took the smile away, but Zhu Jiang didn't realize it yet, she just got up to give up her seat to Ji Huaisu, and poured a cup of tea: "Young Master Huaisu looks pretty good today, TOEFL we can go out to relax, I haven't thanked you properly yet, come on What are you looking for us for?"

us?Ji Huaisu never imagined that even this dude could call Yun Zhen "we". Thinking about Yun Zhen and herself, that was "we". , It was all discovered by his own observation... Ji Huaisu suppressed the sourness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Before I leave, I want to meet Hou Ye and Zhu Wuzi to see if there is anything that needs to be prepared and paid attention to. "

Zhu Jiang said: "That's right, then I have to invite Mr. Huaisheng to come over, just wait a moment." He turned his head very skillfully and told Qingsong: "Grandpa Qingsong, please go and pass it on?"

Qingsong smiled and said: "Young one, go immediately, and pass some fruit and snacks to the dining room to treat the guests."

Ji Huaisu glanced at Qingsong and lowered his eyelashes. It's a pity that this past life was already his strongest dark chess in the palace at this time, but now he was unknowingly broken by the reborn Yunzhen, although he probably just messed up. , I have to rearrange myself.

Zhu Jiang pushed the fruit plate over to him: "Eat oranges, although they are still a little sour, but the tribute is different, there is more water!"

Ji Huaisu pinched an orange in his hand, slowly rubbed it open, didn't eat it, just smiled and said: "Master Hou is really favored by the emperor, these Huainan oranges are now blocked by water, and the capital is very expensive. I heard that one can only be sold. Hundreds of dollars."

Zhu Jiang said: "Ah! Then I have eaten several taels of silver! It's a sin, a sin."

But there was a voice outside: "What kind of rare food did Master Zhu eat that is so expensive?" It was Ji Huaisheng who arrived.

Zhu Jiang smiled and got up to offer tea to Ji Huaisheng again: "Fortunately, someone who knows the market came here. Mr. Huaisu said that there are floods this year, the waterway is blocked, and Huainan oranges are extremely expensive. Mr. Huaisheng told me, is it true?"

Ji Huaisheng just sat down, but smiled and said: "Oh, there is a real Buddha in front of you. You don't worship, but ask me instead? How do you think these oranges come from?"

Zhu Jiang asked in surprise: "How did it come here? Isn't it a tribute from the palace, the emperor rewards Jixianger? If you want me to say that the emperor favors Jixianger, the red bayberry from last time was also big and sweet." Zhu Jiang licked it enviously. He licked his lips, recalling those red bayberries, and his tongue became salivary instantly.

On the side, Qingsong just came over from the dining room with a plate of hot amber walnuts. Hearing what they said, he smiled and said, "Hi! Fifth Young Master Zhu guessed wrong this time, this orange was presented by our Lord Marquis." For the emperor! The emperor was so happy, he ate quite a few of them in a row, and even ordered the orange peels to be marinated for tea."

This time even Ji Huaisu was surprised. Looking at Yunzhen, Yunzhen's face was still calm: "The waterway is impassable, and the road is overland. There is a new branch of the escort agency in Huainan. I brought the goods by the way. I tasted it and thought it was good. Just honor the emperor."

Zhu Jiang clapped her hands: "Wow! Even Huainan has opened a branch of the Escort? Your Escort business has not been open for a long time. Why are you in such a hurry to open a branch?"

"Over there in Huainan, the poor mountains and rivers are full of troublesome people, there are many mountains, and there are also a lot of bandits."

Yun Zhen only explained one sentence.

Zhu Jiang said: "Isn't it because the Escort Bureau's business is not easy to do?"

Ji Huaisheng said with a smile: "Young Master Zhu, I don't know. The greater the risk, the greater the reward! This is the branch we have carefully selected. The most important thing is the bodyguard in Yunzhen's hands. As for the real elites, they have become famous in Huainan City not long after they opened, and their business has never stopped, even the caravans from my natal family’s side use our Yangwei Escort.”

Yun Zhen smiled and said: "The guards of the Zhou family's caravan are also very aggressive, and they can pass without any restrictions."

Ji Huaisheng waved his hand: "You don't know, it's not that the guards are tough, it's that you have enough money to buy the road. We all pay protection fees regularly for the bandit leaders on the business roads we often travel. Fortunately, those bandits have heard that they have been robbed a lot recently. It seems that I can't take care of this..."

Ji Huaisu saw that the three of them were talking more and more enthusiastically, and seeing that the topic was not known where to fly, he coughed lightly: "Speaking of bandits, there must be a lot of bandits along the way we go this time, even though there is a Longxiang Camp Guards, but they are not optimistic, you must know that many refugees will naturally gather into bandits when the situation is exhausted, so this journey needs to be carefully planned."

Ji Huaisheng's expression was complete: "That's right! Huai Su said it very well. I just brought the route we often take on our business routes. Let's make arrangements for the route after departure, repairs, accommodation, etc. I will I have asked the master of our trade route to do it first, let's see if it works first."

Zhu Jiang clapped her hands and said, "The Zhou family caravan is famous all over the world, so it must be very appropriate!"

Ji Huaisheng smiled shyly: "Young Master Zhu is really flattering the prize... The biggest problem along the way is the speed pass news. Our caravan has customary carrier pigeons, but our trip is too ostentatious. I'm afraid the carrier pigeons will be taken away by interested people." Intercept shots, so we still have to plan well."

Zhu Jiang clapped her hands and said, "It's easy! I'll take a few people to follow from a distance, and see who will follow us with malicious intentions!"

Ji Huaisheng said: "Master Zhu Wu, you are so handsome that anyone with a discerning eye can recognize him..."

Ji Huaisu smiled wryly in his heart, seeing these live treasures getting more and more crooked, he didn't know when he could get to the point, and looked at Yun Zhen in a blink of an eye, but saw Yun Zhen suddenly laughed by himself, his eyes seemed to be shining with stars, and the corners of his mouth were also smiling. Satisfied, such a lively expression is the expression when he thought of some good idea before and was eager to ask himself for a reward.He couldn't help but feel a slight wave in his heart, and asked Yun Zhen softly: "What good ideas does Marquis Zhaoxin have?"

Yun Zhen seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, glanced at him, and the smile was still on the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something that needs to be delivered by my family, you can discuss it first, I will listen to you, I will go out first one time."

He got up and walked back and forth to the door, his steps were brisk, he thought of what kind of gift he wanted to give back to the emperor!
