Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Returning to the Capital
When Yang Hao arrived at the county government office, he didn't let anyone notify him, so he ran straight to the back house, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw many servants and maids carrying things outside. If you want to move out of the yamen, can you give the whole place to King Wei?" Yang Hao arrived at Wei Wang's hospital in surprise, the little servant went in first to inform, and after a while, Wei Wang Guandai came out neatly, and when he saw Yang Hao, he made a haha, smiled and said, "Dean Yang, congratulations." , Congratulations, great joy!" "Congratulations, congratulations." Yang Hao hastily cupped his hands in return, and asked Xinxin, "I don't know where the official's congratulations come from?" Zhao Dezhao took his hand with a smile, and walked into the hall with him: "Dean Yang, the dams and sluices around the canal have been completed ahead of schedule, haha, they were completed ahead of schedule, much earlier than our estimated time... It’s been half a month. Just now, the king and Lord Chu had a discussion first, and decided to return the first batch of grain to Beijing immediately. The king personally escorted the shipment. If this trial voyage is successful, the follow-up rice grain will be shipped immediately. Worry about the future." When Yang Hao heard it, his heart moved suddenly, and he suddenly thought of his plan to get rid of the golden cicada's shell, and said quickly: "Ah, the river has been repaired? That's great, the prince will personally escort the grain and rice back to Beijing. On the one hand, the matter of raising food should not be delayed. Since the prince has to personally escort the first batch of food and grass back to Beijing, how about letting the officials stay in the place to raise food and grass? It was resolved.” "Haha, the hero sees the same thing." Chu Zhaofu walked forward shyly with his belt in his hand, "I think so too. I have just informed the king of Wei Qiansui, so I will stay here. Prince Chitose and Dean Yang escort the boat back to Beijing." When Yang Hao heard this, he became anxious: "You old man, you pretended to be crazy and stupid all the way, and I didn't see you showing up for anything. I finally found a chance to stay alone, and I could cause an accident to 'die'. What are you trying to do?" My son, are you also in a hurry to 'die'?" Yang Hao hurriedly said: "How can it be done? Mr. Chu is old and Dezhao. If there is something to do, the younger generation should do his best. It is better for Mr. Chu to accompany Wei Wang Qiansui back to Beijing, and the officials will stay in the place." Chu Zhaofu thought in his heart: "You kid is too greedy. Is it possible that you want to snatch all the credit? You should leave some leftovers for the old man, right? Besides, the food crisis has not yet been resolved, the sooner I return to Beijing, the worse it will be, I will spend a little more time in the local area, and when the food in Kaifeng Prefecture is sufficient, I will rush back to Beijing in a "travel-worn" manner. Once softened, it can be dealt with lightly." Chu Zhaofu hurriedly said: "This time on a tour to the south of the Yangtze River, the old Chu Min was the deputy envoy, but he had never served the imperial court. Now that the big event is in sight, it's better for Dean Yang to accompany the prince back to Beijing to take care of the overall situation. There is nothing embarrassing about it, let the old man come and make amends." "My lord said so, I am really terrified, I think..." "Hey, you two, don't think that you come and go," Zhao Dezhao smoothed things over with a smile: "You are loyal, and you are both public bodies for the country. This king knows it. Master Chu took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in the place. The king has already agreed, so how can he change his words? Besides, if the food can be delivered to the capital smoothly, Dean Yang will be the first one to do it. The minister brought it back to the capital." "Chitose..." "Haha, that's all right, that's it, and you don't want to refuse. Has Dean Yang had breakfast? If not, I'll have some at this king's place, and we'll go back to the boat together in a while." "Scared! Let's go today?" "That's right, let's go today, let's go immediately. The king has sent a flying horse to report to Sizhou Prefecture, ordering them to prepare food and grass to load the ship immediately. Let's go lightly and rush to meet up. We will use Sizhou as the starting point for the trial voyage. Now Raising food and grass is not a big problem. Whether the dams and sluices built can ensure the smooth flow of the waterway, and there is no need to do loading and unloading along the way. The king is still not sure. How can he not be in a hurry? Why, does Dean Yang have any objections? " "Uh...that's not true, it's just...Master Cheng and Mr. Murong went to Huaiyin County and haven't come back yet..." "That's all right, let Xuyi County inform them, and when they come back, they can go back to Beijing on their own. The king is eager to return now, but he can't wait for a moment. By the way, has Dean Yang had breakfast yet? " "Uh... the officer has used it." "That's good, let's go, let's go back to the boat now. Come on, prepare the sedan chair!" Excitedly, Zhao Dezhao grabbed Yang Hao, who was holding a steamed bun face, and walked out...
Ships go back and forth, and the sails are like forests. Thousands of flat-bottomed sand boats stretched endlessly on the canal, and the dragon flag official ship of Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao sailed in the forefront to open the way himself, and the momentum was very huge. Due to the good timing, the harvest of autumn grain is imminent, and the possibility of production reduction and famine caused by floods, droughts and insect disasters is greatly reduced. Therefore, local governments can free up stocks of grain and transport them to the capital in advance. Treasury, no delay. Yang Hao was directly caught by Zhao Dezhao, king of Wei, who was eager to return to Beijing to ask for meritorious service, and directly boarded the official ship. He didn't even see the two delicate ladies. Going to Sizhou, the grain ship that had already been on standby was assembled and returned to Bianliang. On the canal, all boats had to give way to grain boats. The road was vast and mighty, and there were so many boats congested behind. Yanyan and Wawa’s boats were left far behind and couldn’t squeeze in. However, the local governments did not dare to cut corners, and they mobilized a large number of local soldiers to help excavate the buildings. Although the dams and water structures were crudely built, they could barely last for three to five months. Surprisingly, the grain ship withstood the difficulty of the river drop and arrived in the capital smoothly. On the day when the first batch of grain ships arrived at the capital, it was as if they were seeing each other off on that day. Civil and military officials came to greet each other. There were crowds of people on the Bianhe pier. , There was a burst of cheers on the pier. Now that the morning and afternoon hours have passed, it is inappropriate to enter the palace to meet the emperor. All the officials prepared a reception wine and greeted Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao and imperial envoy Yang Hao on the pier. After chatting with each other, they agreed again. Another day to clean up the dust for them, all the officials rushed away. Zhao Pu picked Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao to accompany him back to the palace, while Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi took Yang Hao with him in the same sedan chair and went to Kaifeng Mansion first.Zhao Pu handed over his hand and let Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao get on the sedan chair first, then returned to his own sedan chair and turned his head to look, and saw Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi pulling Yang Hao to go with him in the same car, how could anyone be able to sit in a big sedan chair ?Yang Hao thanked him humbly, Zhao Guangyi just gave way, and the two were still unable to give up. Zhao Pu smiled coldly, and the servants lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and Zhao Pu bent down and got into the sedan chair.Zhao Pu sat in the sedan chair stroking his beard and pondering for a long time, then suddenly he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and waved to the outside, Fu Qiu, the old butler of the Xiangfu, rushed to him and listened to his orders. Zhao Pu ordered softly: "I will send the king of Wei back to the mansion, and I will have to hang around for a while. You go back to the mansion immediately, gather the minister's staff, and write a memorial for Wei Wang's thousand years old, and then select some officials who are suitable to submit the memorandum. , let them know, and tell them to take credit for the king of Wei tomorrow morning. All the credit should be given to the king of Wei as much as possible, remember.” "Yes, this old slave understands." Fu Qiu hesitated, looked at the eight-carrying sedan chair of King Jin who had just gotten up, and asked in a low voice: "But... then is Yang Hao willing to push forward? He was on the pier just now. The king of Wei respected him very much, and all the officials listened to him, Yang Hao really deserved his contribution to this trip to the south." Zhao Pu smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said: "The truth is not to obliterate his merit, but to attribute this credit to the King of Wei. Don't you think that this person is ignorant and incompetent. You can tell the difference between the serious and the serious. The king is the eldest son of the emperor, even if he steals credit, he won't steal his reward, it will be of great benefit to him, so why not do this kind of icing on the cake?" He paused for a while, and then said: "Tomorrow Yang Hao will go to meet the king, remember, the old man has to get up two quarters earlier, and rush to the court room earlier, and wait for the opportunity to talk to him, which is quite promising him a great future. Just don’t make him suffer.” "Yes, the old slave will go back to the mansion immediately to make arrangements." Fu Qiu bowed, and then flashed out a group of people going to Wei Wang's mansion.
"My lord, Mr. Cheng and the others..." The eight-carrying sedan chair was spacious enough, but sitting next to King Jin, especially his long hat flapping in a daze, Yang Hao had no choice but to sit sideways and clasped his hands to explain. "Haha, needless to say, this king already knows." Zhao Guangyi couldn't help laughing when he saw his embarrassment. He took off his official hat and put it on his lap, smoothed his hair, and glanced at Yang Hao with a smile. satisfy.Cheng Yu had obviously notified him of the news, and also reported to him the analysis of Yang Hao's confrontation with the Xiangfu and his identification with Nan Ya. Zhao Guangyi, no matter how fierce you staff and subordinates are fighting openly and secretly, as long as you all hug my thigh, then you are my people and you will take good care of me.Although Yang Hao is ignorant, he has talent. This time, the food crisis in Bianliang can be solved. He is the first to win, and no one can take it away.His credit lies in the brilliance of Nanya, Zhao Guangyi has a good eye for him now, even the awkward expression of sitting with his head sideways is very pleasing to his eyes. "Come, come, Dean Yang can sit more comfortably. We don't need a lot of etiquette when we meet in private." Zhao Guangyi comforted him with a smile, and said, "I already know what you have done along the way, haha, I have something to say." Son, I'm afraid you can't brag about yourself. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to face the king, to show your merits and earn a great future. I am an official in the southern yamen. You can choose, if you want to be a member of other yamen Jingguan, as long as you say what you want, I will try my best to help you get what you want. Haha, it would be a good thing for people from my Nanya to go out to become officials. That proves that my Nanya has a lot of talents. If peaches and plums bloom all over the world , work together...to assist my Great Song court, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing." Yang Hao sneered secretly in his heart after hearing the word "Beijing official": "Beijing official! Beijing official! No matter how upright you say, you are always on guard against me, and dare not let me stay away from the place where the capital is stationed." Zhao Guangyi said again: "Well, that's right... I heard...your family members have also quietly taken out of Beijing?" "Uh...exactly." Yang Hao hesitated for a moment, and admitted frankly, Zhao Guangyi said with a chuckle: "It's okay, since you haven't delayed the business, then it's okay. I'm not a rotten old master, I won't blame you." He glanced at Yang Hao with a smile, and suddenly said: "I heard that the concubine you took in was the first concubine in Bianliang, known as Meiwaer?" Yang Hao's heart skipped a beat, his blood was throbbing, and he had the urge to reach out and strangle him to death: "I'm on my way! The matter of Yanyan hasn't been resolved, yet you ask what doll mean? Could it be you Is this wife obsessed with stealing other people's wives?" Yang Hao raised his concerns, and said calmly: "Uh..., she used to be famous, but then the number one beauty in Fujian, Miss Liu Duo'er, came to the capital, and she overwhelmed the three leaders of the capital, and she came in second. , I was disheartened for a while, and then I was married to a lower official." Zhao Guangyi asked about the women's family, just to show that they are close to each other and care about his subordinates. How could he know that he positioned himself so badly, so he smiled and said: "That is also a first-class beauty, you are full of blood, It was a beautiful thing to have such a beautiful concubine when I was young and flirtatious. This king should congratulate you, eh..." He stroked his beard and hesitated for a moment, then nodded again and said: "That Liu Duo'er from Xuefang is now very famous, and she is known as the first line leader in Bianliang. When I sent you away from Beijing that day, this king has seen her before." Yes, she is very beautiful and has a good temperament. She is indeed outstanding among all the fragrances and beauties, and she is worthy of her reputation. You came back late today, go back to rest early, and the court will leave tomorrow. Everyone Liu came to sing and dance for fun." Seeing that he no longer expressed "concern" for the doll, Yang Hao couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The prince treats you so courteously, and the officials are really terrified." "What are you afraid of?" Zhao Guangyi was in high spirits, slapped him heavily on the shoulder, and praised loudly: "The officials, my Song Dynasty court, and the millions of people in Kaifeng all thank you. This is the scenery you deserve. This king just wants to make a big splash and let everyone know that it is you, Yang Hao, who will turn the tide and solve the danger of my Great Song Dynasty!" Since Nanya resigned, Zhao Guangyi personally sent him out of the gate of ceremonies, and sent him back to the mansion with his own guard of honor. If Yang Hao hadn't made up his mind to 'die', he would have been so grateful to receive such courteous treatment from him, and he would have served him since then. Returning to the gate of his mansion with the full set of ceremonial guards of Kaifeng Mansion, Yang Hao got off the eight-carrying sedan chair, said goodbye to the flag of the Wang Mansion, handed over the empty sedan chair, and then went up to knock on the door, and the old family came out to welcome him. Seeing that it was my lord returning home, I was really overjoyed. Yan Yan and Wa Wa's group fell behind, and Bi Su was originally sent by him to scout out what was going on in the area, and because he returned to Beijing in a hurry, there was no time to inform him, and he couldn't find anyone, but he didn't know that Bi Su was a vagabond. The prodigal son unexpectedly met a woman who made his heart flutter. At this moment, he followed her all the way, and he was so fascinated that he almost chased him to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now that Yang Hao came home, he was alone, and when he stepped into the house, Yang Hao said with a smile: "Where are Mu Yike and Xiao Yu, why don't you come to pick me up and go shopping again?" The old man happily accompanied him, and said: "Miss Yue'er and Xiao Yu have gone to Qianjin Yixiao Building, master, do you want the old man to call them back?" Yang Hao was stunned, and then remembered that when he was leaving, he asked Yue'er to learn some financial management skills from Miaomiao, so he smiled and said: "No rush, I'll take a bath to wash away the dust, and Yue'er will learn from Miaomiao." The way to manage money, what is Xiao Yu going to do there?" The old man scratched his head and said, "I don't know about that. I heard Xiaoyu say...someone bullied someone and went to support them. The old man didn't quite understand." "Huh?" Yang Hao paused, thought for a while, and said, "You guard your door, and I'll go to the 'Yi Xiao Lou' right now!"
