Listen to what Zhao Chongyuan said.
Then look at the subtle expression changes between Zhao Ding and Zhao Chongyuan.
For a moment, all the civil and military ministers in the dynasty were confused.
I don't understand at all what the reason is.
How could a simple worship of the feudal dynasty turn out to be full of meaning?
As for how well Zhao Ding managed Youzhou?
Judging from the taxes collected from Youzhou every time, as well as the words that Gao Youqian, the eunuch in charge of rituals and lamps, occasionally said after he came back from Youzhou last time.
It doesn't seem to be too good.
After all, they are so hungry that they eat each other.
But you said that Zhao Ding did not manage Youzhou well.
That doesn't really count.
Youzhou has been the place of the Three War since ancient times.
There are wars all year round, and there are many mountains and mountains.
Not only the people's livelihood is in decline, but also it is easy to accumulate banditry.
I don’t know how many princes or feudal officials in the past dynasties wanted to manage the place well, but in the end they were unable to do anything. It was no longer easy to keep Wushamao and come back alive.
And Zhao Ding stayed in Youzhou for eight years, which is already rare!
After all, Youzhou is really not a place for humans!
So for a while, the officials were a little confused about the meaning of Zhao Chongyuan's words.
Do we really want to reward Zhao Ding or punish him?
Even Yang Fu, Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan frowned slightly.
Just now, the cabinet has decided on the candidates for this year's disaster relief. The father and son behind the scenes are talking about something, one has a guilty conscience, and the other is looking for trouble.
What's going on?
"Second child?"
"Lao Wu?"
The brothers Zhao Heng and Zhao Gang looked at each other and looked at the scene in the hall with expressions of fun.
He touched the blank fold inside his sleeve.
After thinking about it....
He took it back again.
Watch the show first!
At least the current situation is favorable to the two brothers.
Not a human being, right?
Then don't blame me!
Hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words, Zhao Ding also became a little angry.
You're not a father like me, and you're even conducting private visits incognito. How come I'm harboring evil intentions for your son?
Isn't it just that there are too many troops stationed, or is it that we just come up with some other gadgets?
He also came for a private visit incognito, and even used a false name to deceive me into coming.
I don’t know, what about charging some interest?
By now, Zhao Ding finally understood.
Why had he sent people everywhere to search for traces of his father since he received the letter from his mother, Queen Ma, and they had searched the entire Youzhou but they couldn't find him?
After working on it for a long time, not only did he come early, but he also sneaked in!
When he thought of this, Zhao Ding was so angry that his teeth itched.
After returning, I decided to strengthen the guard at the gate tenfold and recruit some bandits to come out, just in case!
Since you don't have the appearance of being a father locally.
Then you can't blame me for being a son but not a son.
After thinking for a long time.
Zhao Ding gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Chongyuan and said: "Father, I once had a traveling alchemist whom I was very pleased with. I got a magical tool from him. It has the function of recording other people's voices. It can record the voices of others within a certain period of time." The voice of others speaking, today I have brought this thing, or else I can pay my respects to my father today,
Will your son offer it to you? "
Zhao Ding looked at Zhao Chongyuan respectfully.
Those words were full of respect, and there was no fault at all.
But something changed in Zhao Chongyuan's ears.
What's the meaning?
Are you threatening you and me?
He glanced at Wang Lishi.
Wang Lishi was also a little confused.
Then Wang Lishi raised his head and glanced at the little eunuch outside the Jinluan Palace. After seeing the little eunuch nodded imperceptibly, he whispered something into Zhao Chongyuan's ear.
"Um?"
Listen to what Wang Lishi said.
Zhao Chongyuan looked surprised.
Zhao Dingran really brought it!
Then he glanced at Zhao Ding, who was still kneeling under the golden palace.
Zhao Chongyuan suddenly felt itchy.
Then I heard Zhao Ding continue to say: "Father, I also have something called a camera, which can record the portraits of others. They are more lifelike than those painted by the best painters in our country, and there are absolutely no mistakes or omissions. ..."
"Um?"
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, Wang Lishi was also a little confused.
In addition to some local specialties from Youzhou, Zhao Ding seemed to have only brought something that looked like a big speaker, the so-called gramophone, when he entered the palace this time.
What the hell is this camera?
However, before Wang Lishi could think clearly, he saw Zhao Ding suddenly pause in his words and raised his head to look at Wang Lishi who was wearing a purple eunuch uniform next to Zhao Chongyuan.
Pretending to be surprised, he said: "Hey, father-in-law, have we seen this before?"
"Cough cough cough~~~~~~"
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Wang Lishi, who had managed to remain solemn at first, suddenly couldn't stop coughing.
Not only have we met, but we've also had a drink together, okay?
This is not asking knowingly.
The corner of Zhao Chongyuan's mouth also twitched slightly.
He could tell that Zhao Ding was fighting back.
But he didn't say anything.
But the ministers became somewhat interested and stood aside to listen.
Concubine Zhao Ding died young at an early age. Although she was raised by the empress, she was not favored since she was a child. She only saw the emperor a handful of times a year. As for Wang Lishi, the purple-robed eunuch beside the emperor, he was almost never seen. Yes, because in the laws of Daqian, the vestibule and the harem are completely separated.
Only the emperor could enter and exit the harem at will, and no one else could enter unless summoned.
It is even more impossible to casually enter the Wenhua Hall where the prince studies.
In an instant, even Yang Fu, a veteran of three dynasties, couldn't help but raise his ears.
Brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng looked even more confused.
What's going on with rice?
Seen it?
When did his father meet Zhao Ding?
Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan also looked puzzled, but they stood respectfully holding the jade tablet.
Seeing Zhao Chongyuan, he said nothing.
Wang Lishi could only bite the bullet and said: "Maybe His Highness King Yan has recognized the wrong person."
Hey, why don't you pretend to be stupid?
Zhao Ding sighed in his heart, but still pretended to be surprised on his face: "My father-in-law is wrong. My camera can record other people's faces. Not long ago, a group of businessmen who claimed to be from Yongzhou went to Youzhou. The people under my command had just figured out the so-called camera, and after having some free time to try it out, they recorded the man's face.
Among them, there was a person in the caravan whose appearance was somewhat similar to the father-in-law. "
"Did the camera take a picture of me?"
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Wang Lishi was suddenly shocked.
How to wash this?
It would be okay if the gramophone was used. After all, although it is extremely difficult to imitate other people's speaking voices, it is not impossible. But if the camera is like what Zhao Ding said, it can record the appearance of a person almost exactly the same.
This is...
Even Zhao Chongyuan was a little panicked at this moment.
His identity as Li Long cannot be exposed.
Hiss~~~~"
Right now.
Zhao Ding suddenly took a breath of air with great exaggeration, looked at Zhao Chongyuan sitting on the throne, and said with surprise: "Father, that person..."
"Okay, stop talking and shut up."
However, before Zhao Ding could finish speaking, Zhao Chongyuan suddenly raised his hand and interrupted what Zhao Ding had not finished speaking.
Without waiting for Zhao Ding to continue speaking, he immediately ordered Wang Lishi beside him: "Lishi, King Yan has been tired all the way from Youzhou over the mountains and ridges, and he came to the court early in the morning. He must be tired. Moreover, she has not returned to Beijing for many years, and the queen is also thinking about her son very much.
Just take King Yan down to rest first.
Wait until my meeting is over.
Having a small gathering with King Yan. "
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi with a serious face, but when he spoke, he couldn't hide the look in Zhao Ding's eyes that wanted to kill him.
But Zhao Ding doesn't care either.
It has already reached this level.
Who is afraid of whom?
Even if he died, he would still feel sick.
As for whether there is a camera?
That's pure nonsense. Could that thing be made using ancient craftsmanship?
The reason why I say it is just to scare him, this cheap old man.
But judging from the current reaction, the effect seems to be surprisingly good.
If you don't give him a chance to speak, it's already a bit of a trap.
"Father, my father's camera is in Youzhou. If my father likes it, I will send a letter to the capital right now? And also send it with the photo?"
Dedicate it to your father together? "
Zhao Ding pretended not to understand and looked at Wang Lishi.
The words are respectful.
But the corners of Zhao Chongyuan's mouth couldn't stop twitching.
You son of a bitch, you're threatening me!
Hello Zhao Ding!
Wait!
"Lishi, please wait for King Yan to go first, I still have court affairs to deal with."
Zhao Chongyuan glanced angrily at Zhao Ding, who was still pretending to be stupid, and quickly gave instructions to Wang Lishi on the side.
The corner of Wang Lishi's mouth twitched slightly, but he still replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
But I was relieved in my heart.
This can be regarded as suppressing the topic.
Otherwise, if he continues talking and exposes his Majesty's identity as Li Long, the courtiers will be furious.
Why don't those officials who are full of corrupt Confucianism want to splatter the Jinluan Palace with blood to insult His Majesty for not having the aura of an emperor and competing for profits from the common people?
And in the end, even if he, the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, didn't want to be the scapegoat, he still had to be the scapegoat?
Is the head used as a means of pacifying the world's intellectual talents?
Thinking of this, Wang Lishi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
But the eyes of the brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng changed.
Especially Zhao Gang.
His eyes suddenly brightened up.
Yongzhou?
merchant?
Li Long!
PS: Carvin brothers, this kind of subject matter is really difficult to write. There is no routine at all. Just focus on character interaction and character interaction. If you don’t write something interesting, it will become a running account and boring. .
So I update very slowly.
It’s not that I don’t want to make money, but I feel that since I’ve written a book, I can’t just write it just to make money, so I might as well do something else.
No need to use your brain yet.
Therefore, I have to be responsible for the characters in my novels and for all the readers. I try to write as interesting and lively as possible, keep the plot in a way that is unexpected and reasonable, and at the same time avoid old routines.
So I hope all readers will understand.
Of course, if you like to read routine articles, I can also write them, as an experienced author who has written tens of millions of words.
Routine writing is still simple for me!
Whether it can be written well is another matter. Ha ha ha ha.
