Yi Song

Chapter 100 I can also share your worries

Liu Guozhang raised his head and glanced at Zhao Huan, who was sitting opposite him, and found that he was a little embarrassed. He looked left and right while speaking and did not dare to look at him.

Are you mistaken? You are the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, the master of the East Palace. Why do you act like you are a guest, asking for help?

With such a cowardly and incompetent prince, no wonder the Third Prince Jia Wang Zhao Kai felt that he had a great chance.

Liang Fangping, the attendant in the East Palace, said at the side: "In a few days, it will be the Wanshou Festival of the official family. The three kings have been very active these days. They gathered a group of celebrities to write poems and lyrics, draw pictures and praise virtues. The official family liked it very much. They praised them yesterday. Got three kings three times."

He glanced at Liu Guozhang and Zhao Wuniang and continued: "Your Highness has been tossing and turning in the past few days without thinking about food or food. He only thinks about fulfilling his filial piety to the officials and contributing to the Longevity Festival, but he doesn't know where to start.

Liang Xiang said that Erlang was resourceful and could take care of the prince's worries, so His Highness invited Fifth Sister and Erlang to come over today to discuss the matter. "

Liu Guozhang and Zhao Wuniang looked at each other, somewhat surprised.

I just came to the East Palace yesterday to express my gratitude to His Highness the Crown Prince for his generous donation. Today I called in a hurry again, thinking it was something, but it turned out that I wanted to compete with the third child for favor.

"I heard that Erlang is well-informed and understands the world, so I would like to hear Erlang's opinions." Zhao Heng spoke, his voice dry and soft, like cabbage boiled in clean water without salt or oil, picked up and dried. Done.

Liu Guozhang lowered his head and thought.

The relationship is that the prince wants to test his own quality and see if the large investment in the past few days is worth it.

Do you want to help?

Now that the boat is on board, we have to shout a few times and row the oars a few times.

The key is, I like that mansion, Wu Niang likes it, and Thirteen also likes it. It is impossible to retreat. If someone is short-handed, you have to work hard no matter what.

help! Must help!

"Your Highness, look at it as a humble minister."

Yes, now I finally claim to be no longer a commoner, but a humble minister. If you want to achieve class leap, reincarnation well is the first way.

"Prince, you don't have to look at the big picture, but you can start from the small side."

"Erlang, what should I say?"

"The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty. This is the righteousness of his title. No matter how hard the three kings try to build momentum, will they be able to surpass this?"

Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, he was thoughtful and asked quickly: "Erlang, how can we start from a small place?"

"His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and filial piety is the first priority. Talented, strategic, wise and decisive, that is not what His Highness should do now. Our government governs the country with filial piety, and His Highness's top priority is to show sincere filial piety to the officials and their families.

The queen, the noble concubine, and all the concubines, follow the example of motherly behavior, and your highness is also very filial and respectful. In addition, the servants around the official serve the official day and night, as if they are fulfilling their filial piety for His Highness, and they should also be grateful. "

Zhao Huan's eyes brightened, he stood up and walked over.

Liu Guozhang also quickly stood up and stood with his hands down.

"Erlang, Liang Xiang admires you very much and says you are a great talent. When I saw you today, it turned out to be true. I also ask Erlang to make suggestions for me and fulfill his filial piety."

Liu Guozhang blinked. This prince was actually not stupid. It might just be a character flaw.

It's no wonder that the princes and princes who have been surrounded by civil servants since childhood are either quails or perverts. There are few exceptions in the past dynasties.

Only those who come out halfway and have not been tortured by civil servants can fly. For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the current official family, Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Jiajing.

"It is Gao Taiwei's specialty to play various kinds of plays with the wind, blows and beats, and to perform various military plays. We might as well let Gao Taiwei organize a hundred plays, parade around the inner and outer city, enjoy the music with the people, and celebrate with the whole world. Then select the best ones to perform in front of the Imperial Palace in Ruishengyuan.

The three kings are good at literary talent, which allows him to gather scholars to write poems, songs, paintings and watercolors to praise the prosperous times and celebrate your birthday. These works can be exhibited in Ruishengyuan, and officials can personally comment on them, appoint first, second, and third grades, and praise them with praise.

Cai Taishi, Yang Xiang (Yang Jian), Zheng Xiang (Zheng Juzhong), Bai Xiang (Bai Shizhong), Yu Xiang (Yu Shen), Deng Xiang (Deng Xunwu), Wang Zhongcheng (Wang Fu) and other high-ranking ministers are also eager to think about it. Show your loyalty to the officials. It is better to host a treasure ceremony in Ruishengyuan and display the birthday gifts of these ministers and officials to the officials."

Liu Guozhang was talking eloquently. After hearing this, Liang Fangping became a little anxious and said, "Erlang, the benefits have been given to others. Where is the credit for our Highness?"

Liu Guozhang glanced at him and said, "These things were completed under the orders of His Highness, the General Constitution. The officials are happy, the harem, the servants, and the ministers are satisfied. Who can take the credit from His Highness?"

He turned to Zhao Huan and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, the official family is the sun of our Song Dynasty. Who can compete with the sun? What Your Highness has to do is to lead the bright stars to guard the red sun."

Zhao Huan nodded understandingly: "What Erlang said is absolutely true. Who can compete with the sun? It's enough for me to be the North Star now."

Liu Guozhang smiled and added: "The stars are shining brightly, so the North Star does not appear to be so bright."

Zhao Huan was even more modest, "What should I do according to what Erlang has seen?"

"Things are all in Ruishengyuan, so why don't Your Highness hold a banquet there to put all these together. Make it a unique banquet, not an official banquet, but a family banquet." Zhao Heng's eyes blinked. , "I held a family dinner as a son, inviting all my relatives and friends to celebrate my father's birthday."

"Your Highness is absolutely right. As for your status as a prince, just follow the etiquette and the arrangements of the court."

"Erlang, I want you to host Rui Sheng Yuan's unique family banquet."

"I?"

Why did things turn around and turn around again?

Seeing Liu Guozhang's hesitation, Zhao Huan said quickly: "This matter looks ordinary, but in fact it is quite mysterious. Erlang is not qualified to do it. Erlang can handle it with peace of mind. There is no need to worry about money at all, just be lenient with your spending." "

He is also surrounded by a group of people, all of whom have rich official pockets. It is no big deal if they can use money to show their loyalty.

Liu Guozhang rolled his eyes, maybe this was also an opportunity.

"Your Highness is so loving, so Liu will do his best to take care of it, and he will not disappoint the prince."

Zhao Heng smiled with satisfaction.

Liang Fangping blinked and murmured in his heart, this Liu Erlang is not humble at all.

As soon as she left the East Palace, Zhao Wuniang couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Erlang, do you really want to take over this matter?"

"Wuniang, a mansion as big as Xuanhuafang can be seen by a blind person. Since you have collected other people's things, it's better to be more comfortable and don't take advantage and act like a good boy.

Besides, I, a vulgar and reckless man, have to clear my name and go ashore. I can also do things, and I can also share your worries. "

Zhao Wuniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Erlang is in an extremely urgent mood, and his shouts are deafening."

"That's necessary. The temple is just like the Jianghu. It's not about fighting and killing, it's about human nature. Fighting and killing is the lowest level. The big guys are playing with people's hearts and killing people!"

When the two came to Xuanhuafang, they saw a warm sedan and two oxen carts parked at the gate of Liu's mansion.

Liu Guozhang quickly got off his horse and stepped forward to greet him.

"Excuse me, who is this high official? Liu Erlang has missed his welcome. Please forgive me!"

The curtain of the warm sedan was lifted, and a person walked out slowly.

Liu Guozhang was surprised and happy. He stepped forward to hold his hand and said with emotion: "Cai Wulang, I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you very much."

Cai Chi withdrew his hands with a complicated expression and saluted with a salute: "Cai Chi has met Emperor Kangfu and the governor Liu."

"Wu Lang came to my mansion, what advice do you have? Come on, come on, come in quickly."

"Erlang, I won't go in." Cai Chi declined politely, "On behalf of my father, I am here to congratulate Emperor Kangfu and the governor Liu on their family reunion. I hope the emperor and the governor will accept these small gifts."

"The Grand Master is really a loyal elder, and you are so polite. Thank you, Erlang. I will definitely come to pay homage to the Grand Master in the future. By the way, I heard that something unfortunate happened to the Lord of your residence, Shiro. When will the funeral be held? I'll wait. Go and express your condolences.”

Cai Chi looked at Liu Guozhang with erratic eyes: "My father parked the fourth brother's coffin at Fayun Temple in the west of the city, waiting for the Wanshou Festival to be over before the funeral."

Liu Guozhang's eyes flashed, "The grand master is loyal to the country, he is really a role model for us."

Cai Chi raised his head and looked at the majestic and magnificent mansion, and couldn't help but said: "I thought Liu Erlang was a gentleman, but I didn't expect that he could be lured and benefited!"

Yep, that’s how bad scholars are. They say in a roundabout way that I am an Ai Li villain.

Liu Guozhang spread his hands: "Wu Lang, I didn't say that I don't love money! I didn't see you bribe me with money at the beginning, and you yelled and killed me when we met. There's nothing I can do about it."

Cai Chi's face turned pale, he clutched his chest, struggled for a while before regaining his breath, and reluctantly said, "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

He got into the sedan chair and left in a flash.

Looking at the back of the sedan, Liu Guozhang shook his head and thought to himself.

"Master Cai, you are really a political animal, old fox. Fortunately, I made the right decision that night to get rid of Mr. Cai. Otherwise, father and son would have joined forces, and I would have died without a burial place."
