Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Regardless of whether Xue Pan was abolished during the Lantern Festival last time, he didn't know whether he was abolished or not, but Zhou Hang dealt with it cleanly, and this time he was determined to pay.Although Jia Rong and the other dandies didn't molested Zhou Hang, they were naturally involved with Xue Pan, and they couldn't help but get beaten up.

Although they don't know Zhou Hang's identity, they also know that Zhou Hang is not something they can afford.

The whole incident was caused by Xue Pan's lust, and they did not dare to offend someone who was not easy to provoke. Of course, they couldn't find trouble with Zhou Hang, so they blamed Xue Pan as they should.If it wasn't for the random estrus of some of his partners regardless of the occasion, how could such a thing happen.Although they didn't say it clearly, they all made a note of Xue Pan in their hearts, secretly thinking that if Xue Pan hadn't caused trouble, they wouldn't have suffered such a big loss.

Although Zhou Hang was disappointed, he didn't forget the business. When he left the restaurant, he ordered Koizumi to bring the things to Lin's mansion.Daiyu was naturally delighted when she received it.Looking at it again, they are all exquisite things sold on the street. Although they are not valuable things, what they want is this natural gas, so I like it even more.It happened that the autumn shirt she made for Zhou Hang had also been finished, so she ordered Huier to put it in a box and take it to Koizumi.

Not to mention how happy Zhou Hang was after receiving it, but only the current situation of Xue Pan and others.

As the culprit, Xue Pan was the most beaten.Of course, compared with the lifeblood, these flesh and blood injuries are nothing.I heard that the mother and daughter of the Xue family cried every day, and invited many famous doctors, but they were all useless.Xue Pan was also seriously injured this time, and he lost most of his life, lying on the bed for more than a month without getting out of bed.

It's not that they didn't think about revenge, but they couldn't even find out Zhou Hang's identity. After more inquiring, the identity of the guard who made the move was something that the four major families could not afford to offend, so they had to suffer from this dumb loss.

Otherwise, so what?

As for Jia Rong and the others, they were bored at home for a few days, and after recovering from their injuries, they came out to hang out again. Flowers like money flowed like water, and they lingered in the fireworks and willow alley almost every day, spending very generously.

Of course, what they spent was not their own money, but Jia Daoran's pocket.

Jia Daoran's willingness to do this is naturally not because he is morally noble and generous in distributing money, but because he is bigger than his own little girl.

After more than a month, Jia Daoran gradually realized that Jia Rong and the others did more than fail.Moreover, they looked down on the businessman very much, and they were willing to perfunctory him just because they saw that he had two coins and was generous, and in the end it was just eating and drinking.

Jia Daoran could see that these so-called sons of honorable families flaunted how noble they are, but in fact they were just a bunch of lowlifes, not as open and aboveboard as businessmen.

But he thought that it would be nice if Jia Rong and the others could get acquainted with Prince Teng, who is now in the limelight among the four major families, so he had to compliment Jia Rong and the others for a while.Jia Rong did introduce a few members of the Wang family to him, but they were all idlers, such as Jia Rong, which were of no use.

Businessmen seem to have an innate instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Seeing that they couldn't get what they wanted from these people, Jia Daoran began to plan other avenues.Of course, those dandies in Jia's mansion also began to gradually alienate them.

Don't tell me, Jia Daoran is worthy of being a self-made successful businessman with a good head. He really used tricks to curry favor with a court official—the Minister of the Household Department Wu Liang.

And I don't know if it's because of the money, but Wu Liang seems to have a crush on him.

He gave Wu Liang an idea.

Didn't the prince's series of actions in the household department make Wu Liang feel pressured? It made Wu Liang feel that if he didn't do something, he might lose his official position.Jia Daoran gave Wu Liang an idea and asked him to present a colorful golden pheasant and a corn plant, saying it was auspicious.

Although the golden pheasant is rare, it is not difficult to find, but the colorful golden pheasant only appeared in the reign of the wise monarch in ancient times.What's more, this golden pheasant is different, that is, its tail is very long, like a phoenix, and it also has some decorations that are unique to the phoenix in the legend.Of course, the corn plant is not an ordinary corn plant, but a corn plant with four corn cobs on one stalk.

Jia Daoran asked Wu Liang to say that the golden pheasant was sent by people from his hometown, and it was found in the farm of his hometown. When it was discovered, this golden pheasant, which looked like a phoenix, was parked on the corn stalk with four corn cobs. .

This is amazing.

What kind of family will have auspiciousness?

Naturally, it is a family of meritorious deeds, which shows that this family is extraordinary, and even Shangcang thinks that they are good people who have accumulated good deeds.

In this way, shouldn't the emperor be rewarded?

Wu Liang thought it was a good idea. The emperor changed the Yuan for less than a year, and the foundation was still unstable. It was at the time when these auspicious signs were needed to stabilize the throne. He concluded that as long as he gave the emperor this step, he would definitely be on the downhill.Even if he can't be promoted at that time, at least the position of Minister of the Household Department will be kept.

Wu Liang suddenly felt that Jia Daoran was a useful talent, and it would be a pity if he was just doing business, so he thought about finding an opportunity to see if he could be promoted.He immediately sent his confidants to make arrangements, and everything was ready in less than ten days. At the next court meeting, Li Liang knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor", and offered auspiciousness to the emperor. out.As expected, he received some praise and a lot of rewards from the emperor.

Among the courtiers, there are those who admire him, and those who despise him. They look at him with different expressions after the court.

Zhou Hang didn't believe in auspiciousness, and he knew that Li Zhao didn't believe in it either.Immediately after the court meeting, the cabinet ministers discussed matters. Zhou Hang listened to the quarrels of the cabinet ministers with full of thoughts, and knew that the discussion was over and only he and Li Zhao were left in the conference hall. , you clearly know that Wu Liang is bewitching the crowd with his evil words, why did you reward him so much?"

Li Zhao stared at Zhou Hang for a long time, but did not answer directly, but intending to test his son, he asked, "Why does Hang'er think I am doing this?"

Zhou Hang thought for a while, and said: "Father is newly enthroned, and there are threats from Prince Yizhong's old department. The foundation is not stable. We need auspiciousness to stabilize the throne and establish the prestige and prestige among the people."

Li Zhao nodded, and was quite satisfied with his son's answer. After all, a young man who is not yet young, having such knowledge is not bad.

"Hang'er, it's not easy for you to see this level. I am very comforted by your father. Your mother taught you very well. However," he changed the subject, educating children is not an easy task, and he was right. , Of course you have to boast, but if there are any shortcomings, you have to point them out, otherwise how can you grow up?

"This is only a small part of the reason," Li Zhao said, "More importantly, Father wants to protect you..."

"Protect me?" Zhou Hang was a little surprised, and pointed at himself, meaning what does this matter have to do with me?

Li Zhao asked in a calm and unhurried manner, "I recognized you at the beginning, didn't I just borrow auspicious words?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hang suddenly realized, and also understood Li Zhao's love and love.When he recognized himself at the beginning, he also used the theory of auspiciousness to give the minister the impression that the emperor agreed with auspiciousness.If he refuses to admit it this time, and says that Chen Liang's evil words have deceived the public and bewitched the monarch, then the auspiciousness when he recognized his son last year will be unreasonable, and he will be accused by people with ulterior motives.Even if they didn't dare to criticize the emperor in public, they would definitely talk about it behind their backs and doubt Zhou Hang's bloodline.

It is impossible for Zhou Hang not to dare to move Li Zhao's heart to such an extent.

"Father..." He opened his mouth, and was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to say.Thank you, it is too pale.Father, you are so kind, I love you, etc., he really can't say it, it's too nasty.

Just when he was struggling and didn't know how to express, Li Zhao suddenly held his hand.

"Hang'er, can you tell Royal Father..." He paused at this point, his eyes were a little red, "You...how about your mother?"

Zhou Hang was stunned for a while, and said after a while, "She's fine..."

"Where is she?"

"In a very, very far away place."

"How far away?"

"It's so far away, it's so far away that I can't walk in my whole life..."

What Zhou Hang said was the truth, two completely different time and space, if the probability of an adventure is extremely small, it is impossible for people in this time and space to have contact with people in another time and space, isn't it impossible to get there in a lifetime.Unexpectedly, when he said these words, Li Zhao misunderstood him, thinking that Zhou Hang could not forgive the mistakes of the year so far.He sighed, and said quietly: "It's fine if you don't want to say it, I believe for my father, one day you will be willing to say it..."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked away holding Wei Xing'an's hand.

Seeing Li Zhao's faltering steps, Zhou Hang felt very uncomfortable.After a year of getting along, he already regarded him as a relative. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but he might not believe it if he said it. If he believed it, he couldn't travel through time and space to the 21st century.Therefore, instead of telling him that the distance between him and his mother is not thousands of mountains and rivers, but two different time and space, and it is impossible to meet each other in a lifetime, it is better to let him have an illusion, thinking that maybe the couple will meet each other one day up.

Goodbye to Li Zhao, it was already after dinner, Zhou Hang was reading the memorial, a gust of north wind whizzed by, the windows were blown open, and the cold wind hit instantly, Zhou Hang subconsciously gathered the cloak around his body.

"It's only October, how cold is it like the twelfth lunar month of winter..."

Zhou Hang didn't like a group of people serving around him, so he dismissed the serving people around him long ago.There was no one in the room but him, and he muttered something casually, not expecting a response.Who knew that as soon as the words fell, someone said: "Why doesn't Leng know how to add more clothes?"

Zhou Hang turned his head and saw that Li Zhao was coming.

Li Zhao still had a bit of anger on his face, thinking that the people in Zhouhang Palace were hiding and not serving by his side, so he was about to call in to punish him.Zhou Hang hurriedly explained, and Li Zhaocai calmed down.Wei Xing'an closed the window wisely, took two big fur capes and put them on for the father and son, then tiptoed back.

The father and son had a long talk around the stove.

Li Zhao said that the cold weather was a good thing, Zhou Hang asked why.

Li Zhaodao: "The Rong Kingdom in the north invades from time to time, which is the imperial court's confidant's trouble. They have strong soldiers, horses and strong tribes, and most of them are cavalry. When I was in power, I had to give them a lot of property every year. Instead of negotiating peace, a lot of people's resources and financial resources were wasted. I don't want the people to suffer from it again, so I must fundamentally solve this serious problem, and this year's severe cold weather happens to be extremely beneficial to us. "

Zhou Hang listened very seriously, and Li Zhao continued: "It's only October now, and it's already so cold here that we have to wear padded jackets, and it's only going to be worse in Rongguo. I read the report and said that the northern border has already been dropped. During the two heavy snowfalls, many of the people’s cattle and sheep froze to death. Hang’er, think about it, Rongguo is further north than us, and they are mainly nomadic. The disaster will only be more serious than ours, and their strength will be greater. Weaken. Isn't this an opportunity?"

"When will the father plan to send troops?" Zhou Hang was a little excited.

Li Zhaodao: "Winter is not good. Our soldiers can't stand the severe cold weather. They will inevitably suffer fearless injuries. We have to wait until spring. After a severe winter and a frigid year, the froze-to-dead cattle and sheep can maintain It’s good enough to live with them for a whole winter, and the spring is when they are hungry, and we can’t give them a chance to recuperate.”

Zhou Hang nodded, thought for a while, and said: "This is not bad, but we must guard our granary, and he will have to snatch it."

Li Zhao said, "It's only natural."

Zhou Hang was a little excited when he heard it, and he said happily: "Father, let me go too when the time comes."

Li Zhao frowned immediately: "On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. As the crown prince of a country, how can you go into dangerous places yourself?"

Zhou Hang was not happy: "The monarchs of all dynasties have also conquered by themselves. Why can't I, a prince, go to the battlefield?"

"The emperor's personal conquest is a matter of national crisis and survival, and we are far from that point now." Speaking of this, Li Zhao paused, and his voice became stricter, "It is true that we have reached that point. You are not allowed to go to the battlefield!"

"I don't want to go to the battlefield, do you want my father to go?"

"Naturally! If there is such a day, I will personally conquer, and you will stay in the capital to supervise the country."
