Chapter 9 Chapter Nine A Rough Man

"Yang Hao, this mansion... The Gu Wang has always treated you well, treating you like a confidant, but you are too self-respecting. You need to send an important minister to patrol the Jianghuai River. For such an important matter, you don't discuss it with the Gu beforehand." Play it to the official family?" When Yang Hao saw Zhao Guangyi's face turned pale, he couldn't help being stunned, and thought to himself: "What kind of anger is this? I just thought of it temporarily and reminded the officials to find a competent person to sit in Jianghuai to deter the local officials from working hard. , why should I discuss it with you, besides... You have also been promoted to the king because of this, how can such a happy event turn out to be so angry?"

Zhao Guangyi saw that he was astonished and didn't seem to be fake, so his tone eased: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with what you said and played. It's just... it's just an official matter. After all, you still know too little, so you don't want to discuss it with Gu. , Just say what you think of in front of the officials, so reckless, one carelessness will cause trouble for the upper body." Zhao Guangyi was originally the governor of Kaifeng. Although he did not have a prince, his status was no different from that of a prince. Zhao Dezhao was originally a prince, but now both of them are kings. This prince is of little help to Zhao Guangyi, but For Zhao Dezhao, it was because he had formally entered the imperial court and entered the society, and his influence in the imperial court would increase day by day.

But when he saw Yang Hao's expression, he probably didn't think about it at all because of his reckless temper, instead of deliberately concealing himself to invite favors from the officials, Zhao Guangyi's anger dissipated, and he immediately slowed down his tone, and said with concern: "Yang Hao Ah, you are the dean of Nanya Huoqing, Gu's trusted subordinate, Gu is very fond of you, I don't want you to stumble because of recklessness." Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord, for your consideration. The lower official is a rough man. He doesn't understand official affairs, and he is especially reckless in his actions. If there is anything inappropriate, please ask Jin Wang Qiantui to point it out."

Zhao Guangyi was very satisfied when he saw his sincere and fearful look, and a little smile appeared on his face: "Well, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the official rules, as long as you work hard and serve the public wholeheartedly, if there is anything, the lonely king will help you." will take care of it for you." He glanced at the direction where Zhao Kuangyin and his son left, and said nonchalantly, "The king of Wei wants to ask you for advice on transporting grain. Although the king of Wei is about the same age as you, he has never done any errands and lacks experience. Help King Wei well."

"I would like to follow Jin Wang Qiansui's order." "Well... tonight, you come to the Qingfeng Tower, and the lonely king will see you off in person. I wish you a successful trip to the Jianghuai River and success in no time." Yang Hao quickly bowed and said: "The lower officials are terrified, how dare you work hard for the lower officials to see the king of Jin as farewell." Zhao Guangyi laughed and said: "You are from Nanya, and now you are doing a big thing for me in Kaifeng and Song Dynasty. How can the lonely king not take it to heart? Gu and the envoy of Yang Yuan are now both prosperous and ruined." Damn, don't be humble, see you in Qingxinlou tonight, the lonely king will take a step first."

"Congratulations to Chitose." Zhao Guangyi left with a smile, Yang Hao straightened up, looked at his back, and thought: "Zhao Guangyi is so moody, what kind of trick is he playing?" Zhao Kuangyin and his son came out of the Queen's Palace, Zhao Kuangyin stopped on the steps, and said solemnly: "Zhaoer, this trip to the Jianghuai River is related to my millions of souls in Kaifeng, and it is even more related to my established national policy of unifying the world from the south to the north in the Song Dynasty. It's no small matter. If this matter goes wrong, it's hard to predict what the consequences will be. You have to do your best and don't disappoint your expectations as a father."

"My child knows that when I leave Beijing this time, I must transport enough food back, and I will never disappoint my father." "Well, although Chu Zhaofu said that he did something stupid, he is not a mediocre person. It's just that he didn't know how to make good use of it for his father. But you can't underestimate him because of this. If there is anything in Jianghuai that needs someone to do it, you can do it. Sending him, Lao Chu is quite tactful and sophisticated in doing things." "Yes, my child remembers." "Yang Hao is skilled without learning, and can often come up with strange ideas that others can't think of. Some ideas may be absurd, but some can be thought-provoking and enlightening. If you have any doubts, you may as well ask advice. with him."

"yes." Zhao Kuangyin stopped, and said: "Chu Zhaofu is tactful and sophisticated, Yang Hao is a man who is prone to eccentricity, one upright and one strange, just to assist your left and right sides, but these two are not thoughtful and comprehensive talents, so they are rash and reckless." This pair of live treasures is really worrying, as my father will let Zhao Pu choose two more people to accompany you to the south, and advise you along the way." "Yes, the child remembers." As soon as the father and son said this, Zhao Defang ran over quickly and shouted joyfully, "Brother, did Daddy make you king?"

Zhao Defang ran closer, only to realize that her father was still standing on the steps, and she hadn't seen him because of the Panlong pillars in the corridor of the hall, but when she found her father, Zhao Defang stuck out her tongue, and quickly woke up. Zhao Dezhao smiled, patted his brother's head and said, "Study well with the Taifu. When you grow up, you will also be crowned king. You must be a virtuous king then." Zhao Defang nodded vigorously, and Zhao Dezhao saluted his father: "If there is nothing else, the child will leave." Zhao Kuangyin nodded, but Zhao Defang grabbed the elder brother's skirt and said timidly: "Daddy, my son... I want to go to the elder brother's house to play for two days." Before his father got angry, he quickly added: "My son will not delay Those who have finished their studies must come back when the Taifu is teaching."

Zhao Kuangyin changed his mind, nodded and said: "Go, your eldest brother will leave Beijing tomorrow, and it will take several months to go, so it would be nice for you two brothers to get together." With her father's permission, Zhao Defang was overjoyed, and accompanied her eldest brother back to Wende Hall, only to see Yang Hao still standing at the bottom of the steps.Zhao Dezhao hastened his steps to meet him, and said with a smile, "Emissary Yang has been waiting for a long time." "Brother, who is this official?" Zhao Defang stared at Yang Hao with big black eyes in surprise.Zhao Dezhao hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't be rude, this is Director Yang Haoyang of Nanya Fire and Love Institute."

"Ah! In ancient times there was a strong order, but now there is Yang Dabang who forcibly demolished Yang..." Zhao Dezhao glared at him fiercely, Zhao Defang knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly stopped talking.Yang Hao saw that the little guy was naughty and cute, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Chitose, who is this?" Zhao Dezhao smiled and said, "This is Defang, my brother-in-law. Defang, I haven't met Master Yang yet." Although Zhao Defang is the prince, but he has not been crowned king yet, he still has to salute Yang Hao, so he immediately saluted Yang Hao. At the same time, he looked curiously at the eight kings who could "beat the faint king at the top and beat the treacherous ministers at the bottom" in the storytelling of later generations, and eat the eight princes' salaries. "Envoy Yang, my king is young and inexperienced, and has never been sent out of Beijing. There are many things that I don't understand. Can I invite Envoy Yang to sit in the middle and middle school of my palace so that we can have a good chat?" Seeing that the prince spoke so humbly and politely, Yang Hao had a good impression of him, so he happily said: "You are polite, I will obey your orders." With Zhao Dezhao and his brothers leading him, Yang Hao was so rare that he passed through the forbidden palace as a foreign minister.The land in Kaifeng is tight, and the layout of the imperial palace is not large, far less magnificent than the palaces of the Tang and Ming dynasties. It didn't take much effort to cross the imperial garden. After a while, the three of them left the imperial palace through the Tianbo Gate of the Forbidden Palace. Seeing the prince coming out, eight guards and coachmen who were enjoying the shade under the tree rushed up to greet him. "Envoy Yang, please!" Zhao Dezhao took Yang Hao's arm with a smile without any pride in his own identity, and then joined him in the car. After he got into the car, Zhao Dezhao sat in the middle, Yang Hao was on the left, and the 'Eight Sage Kings' was on the right. The chariot and horses drove towards the Jinshui Bridge.
In the Liu's drugstore in Jinshuihe Lane, the helper who had appeared beside Zhe Ziyu many times was reporting to her in a hurry: "Miss, it's true. The villain just inquired about the news from his mansion. The eldest son of the emperor Everyone in the mansion is as happy as boiling water, showing off when they see people, saying that the government has made a decree to make the eldest son of the emperor King of Wei, and now he has entered the palace to thank him." "Strange, at this time he still has the heart to become a prince? According to the news from the third envoy, Chu Zhaofu already knew about the food shortage. Don't the officials know about it? Does Chu Zhaofu have the courage to hide it and not report it?" ? Zhang Shisan, did you hear me right?" Zhang Shisan said: "Absolutely not. The steward of Zhao Dezhao's mansion was at the gate saying that he would take off the signboard and hang it on the plaque of Prince Wei's mansion. On behalf of the sky patrol hunting, visit Jianghuai." Zhe Ziyu's eyes lit up suddenly, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's it, the food from Kaifeng, nine out of ten is from Jianghuai, ha ha... It turns out that the official family is building plank roads, secretly crossing the old warehouse, and pretending to be a king and Dai Tian." Under the guise of a hunting tour, you want the prince to go to Jianghuai to raise food, heh heh, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, is it still too late?" Zhang Shisan said with a chuckle: "Miss made a small plan and let them stumble. Now even the eldest son of the emperor has been sent out. It seems that the officials are really in a hurry, but Kaifeng has been storing food for several months. Sitting on the mountain, talking about the prince, even if the officials personally came forward to raise a mountain of rice, it is absolutely impossible to transport it to Bianliang before the river is closed." Zhe Ziyu smiled slightly: "Official Zhao's family is a father and son soldier in battle, and my Zhe family is a brother and sister in battle! It's up to whoever is more clever. Zhao Dezhao was appointed king and hunted on behalf of the sky, no doubt it was for food. They didn't do everything possible Don’t you want the people to know? Let’s add fire to him. Go, gather your people, and spread the news that Tokyo is short of food and this winter will be difficult. The people who are the foundation, still have to rely on the forbidden army as an arm!" "I obey!" Zhang Shisan clasped his fists and walked out excitedly.Zhe Ziyu thought about it for a while, then hurriedly got up and walked out of the shop. In the car, Zhao Dezhao listened to Yang Hao's explanation all the way, and he said sincerely: "Yang Yuan is self-taught, and his talents are amazing. Whether it is the establishment of the Fire Love Academy or this tour to the south, he can come up with ingenious ideas and wonderful ideas." Qisi, this king really admires you." "Where is it, the prince is too much, Yang Hao is just a rough man..." While Yang Hao was smiling, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender and familiar figure in the crowd, and when he took a closer look, he immediately flew into a rage, groaned, jumped out of the car, and threw his fist at a big man. Hit hard on the back of the neck. Zhao Defang was shocked when he saw it and said: "Brother, this rough man is a bit rough..."
