On these days, Brother Rong also wants to go over and join in the fun. However, before he returned to the city while still at the Yamen of the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion, he was hurriedly summoned to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion.
"Thirteen is back too?" Jia Rong asked happily.
"Yes. When the prince was still on the way, he asked a lot about Lord Rong. He just entered the city now, and didn't even go to the palace. The prince sent us to invite Lord Rong first."
"I'm shocked. How is the Thirteenth Master now?" Brother Rong sent the officials from the water conservancy camp to go about their business, while he did some rough tidying up. Then he said: "I'm afraid that if I go there like this, I will scare the Thirteenth Master's king. What if you don't wait for me to get some water to wash myself and change into clean clothes before returning to the palace?"
The visitor was stunned and saw that Lord Rong's clothes were stained with mud everywhere, and his robe and trousers were rolled up in a mess. If it weren't for the bright and luxurious colors of his clothes. Otherwise, if you put him in a crowd, outsiders will probably think you are just an ordinary person.
"Sir, Sir Rong, there is no need to deal with it. It is only when this situation has passed." The messenger chuckled and whispered, "Sir, there is no need to do such things in front of the prince, but he and the prince now have a deep brotherly relationship. Although the prince cannot enter the palace to pay his respects, he will most likely go out of the palace to visit the prince nowadays. The prince entered the palace in such a hurry and was seen by the saint Longyan, which is considered a good talk. "
Show your hard work?
Good guy, there really isn’t a fool who can be sent out to do things.
All smart people.
However, it is not good to be too smart, as one will evolve to be extremely smart.
If the emperor saw it, he would feel it would be degrading.
Then wouldn't it have the opposite effect?
Brother Rong replied nonchalantly: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. It's just that... you have to observe etiquette when you meet your venerable person. I'm afraid it will damage the prince's face if you meet him in such an undignified manner. Please wait for a while, brother." Wash off the mud on your body and decide to follow your brother. We can take a quick bath at home, so we won’t waste time on important matters."
Jia Rong wanted to turn around and enter the backyard of the Yamen, but was tightly held back.
"I can't wait any longer. Your Majesty is calling urgently."
"..."
Damn, he is so smart, why is he so stubborn? Brother Rong said, "Let me change into clean clothes."
"Too long a delay."
Can you blame me for taking too long? Who can't find anyone in front of you? I stepped in the mud and saw you running around outside several times. I almost mistook the commanding agricultural officer on the field ridge for my uncle, so I didn't know how to shout first, "Who is Jia Rong? The prince has summoned you"?
It's a pity that Brother Rong made the mistake of blaming others.
After all, their identities were different, and the person who came was not one of King Zhongshun's guards or eunuchs. If the other party dares to shout like this, who knows whether it will leave a frivolous impression in front of Lord Rong.
People are afraid of being tricked.
"Sir Rong, please don't embarrass your humble position."
"Okay, okay, let's go now." Brother Rong shook his head and sighed, "I'll go recruit someone to bring the carriage."
"It's faster to get up," the man replied.
"..."
"Master Rong, let's call the carriage first. I'll wait for you here."
Here, Uncle Rong just set off. There is already an emperor in Prince Zhongshun's palace, and anyone who sees him can't help but praise him in his heart, the brotherly love is deep.
"How is my brother?" Emperor Xiande was never a person who showed his emotions easily. The so-called emperors are ruthless not only means that the emperors do not have the emotions of ordinary people, but also that their true feelings can be expressed on their faces.
But today, Emperor Xiande saw the Thirteenth Master, with indescribable concern and sadness on his face.
"Brother Lao Huang, please note that Thirteen is fine."
"How can it be unimpeded? How can it be unimpeded?" Emperor Xiande gently held Thirteenth Master's hand and said pitifully: "Look, you have suffered a lot after going out. There are still a few taels of meat on your body, so You shouldn't be allowed to go to the land of Moxi. It's me who is not a good brother. I have pity on my brother. I have pity on my brother."
"Brother is the king of a country, how can he lose his composure in front of his ministers." Thirteenth Master said with a wry smile, patted his chest lightly, and said: "Brother, look at it, Thirteenth is in good health. I have been traveling all the way back from Moxi. Under the care of the imperial physician, he is almost recovered now."
"There is no sign of recovery. He is skinny and skinny." Emperor Xiande looked at King Zhongshun with indescribable distress in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of that damn Zhungeer that my brother got sick again. I have sent an order to Prince Shui Rong of Beijing County to kill Zhungeer in retribution for the pain of my brother's illness."
"Brother, please don't act out of anger."
Emperor Xiande felt even more distressed when he saw Thirteen in pain. Haosheng said: "I also know that the Zhungeer chaos cannot be solved overnight. Don't worry, Thirteen. I have always been cautious as a brother. The most important thing now is that you have to cultivate yourself well."
Thirteenth Master forced a smile, his withered face looked rather ferocious.
"Thirteen came back first this time. He was just lazy in the name of recuperating. Brother Emperor, you can rest assured."
"Why are you being lazy? I just came out of the palace and heard that Thirteen had gone to the Shuili Yingtian Mansion to recruit a boy from the Jia family. Let's put aside the matter of the Shuili Yingtian Mansion for now. That boy is more lazy and slippery than you. Duo, why don't you learn from him?"
"A country's water conservancy and camp fields are related to the people's livelihood and the country's country." The Thirteenth Master leaned there and replied weakly, saying: "Water conservancy cannot be slowed down, and camp fields are indispensable. Once these two things are sorted out, the world will The people can be stabilized, and the country of Yan can be stabilized. There is no reason to let it go first. Brother, please don't underestimate this project."
"No need, no need." Emperor Xiande replied helplessly, and added: "Now Thirteen will teach me a lesson. I taught you how to read and write back then. I know these principles better than you."
"I really miss the days when I was with my brother, so carefree." Master Thirteen sighed for no reason, "When I was young, Thirteen was often bullied, both by my brother and the prince...Second brother, you two stand up for me. .”
After hearing the name of the former deposed prince, Emperor Xiande's smile subsided slightly and said: "Thirteenth has always valued brotherhood. Back then, the second brother always led you and me to find trouble with them. Every time you couldn't bear to attack, you were the stronger one. You’re so young, you’ll be the one who suffers the most in the end.”
Thirteenth Master forced a smile and said, "Decades have passed in the blink of an eye."
Emperor Xiande nodded, he could hear what King Zhongshun wanted to say. He also said: "Thirteen, let's take a rest and don't think about the past anymore."
The Thirteenth Master replied: "When I was in Moxi, I heard some rumors about Shenjing, and I was always worried. Brother Tao, after all, is the eldest son of the second brother, the eldest grandson of the Supreme Emperor. He stayed in Zhengjiazhuang, so that he could live happily. Just stay in Zhengjiazhuang."
After King Zhongshun finished speaking, the smile on Emperor Xiande's face completely disappeared.
The only sound in the room was the roar of the dragon, "How can I embarrass my eldest nephew in the family? As long as he is safe, I will give him a safe life. If he is not safe, and I don't speak, he will not be able to live in peace."
The atmosphere in the room became awkward for a moment.
At the right time, someone outside reported the news, and after several rounds of news, the supervisor in the room went to listen. Then report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Jia Rong, the irrigation envoy and second-class bodyguard, has arrived."
The emperor said: "Send him to come in."
After a while, Emperor Xiande and Prince Zhongshun saw a man in slovenly clothes led in by a eunuch in fresh clothes.
The slovenly man was none other than Jia Rong, the water conservancy envoy and second-class bodyguard at that time.
It's just that at this moment, Jia Rong's appearance is in stark contrast to that of the little eunuch next to him. He really doesn't have any official bearing at all, let alone the nobility of a heir to the Duke's mansion.
When Jia Rong entered the room, she felt that the room was not peaceful. At that moment, my heart was lifted. Damn, I was tricked by that kid. If I had known, I would have changed my clothes and come back.
Sure enough, the emperor frowned and asked: "How can a dignified fourth-grade official dress like a farmer in the fields?"
Brother Rong hurriedly saluted and replied: "Wei Chen deserves to die. Because he was called, Wei Chen couldn't wait to come from the experimental field of Yingtian Mansion. He didn't have time to change his clothes. Please punish your majesty and prince."
As he spoke, he slowly knelt down respectfully.
At this time, any talk about dignity and not being under imperial power is bullshit. On the opposite side, take the penalty first. Regardless of right or wrong, admit your mistake first.
Prince Zhongshun, on the other hand, looked at Jia Rong and smiled. It's just that this kind of smile is really scary in Jia Rong's eyes.
Prince Zhongshun is too thin and looks ugly when he smiles.
Prince Zhongshun's laughter could only be heard in the room, "It would be great if all the officials of the Yan Dynasty could be like this boy. What's the use of just maintaining the appearance of dignity. As long as he does real-time work for the Yan Dynasty and the people, , Not to mention wearing sloppy clothes, he just rolled in muddy water. In my opinion, he is still clean, and he can enter the palace of Zhongshun."
Emperor Xiande glanced at King Zhongshun, and slowly showed a kind smile, saying: "Get up, King Zhongshun treats you so kindly, you better not let him down."
Brother Rong dared to be bold in front of King Zhongshun, but with the emperor present, he was quite reserved even when he stood up.
Even though the emperor had a slight smile on his face at the moment.
He didn't dare to be careless.
Just like the ordinary little maids in the Ningguo Mansion saw him, even though Uncle Rong was famously kind in the Ningguo Mansion, the little maids and ordinary male servants were very afraid of him.
Because they are all beings who directly control the life and death of those below.
Uncle Rong treats the servants of Ningguo Mansion just like Emperor Xiande treats Jia Rong.
The longer you stay in this world, the more obvious and profound this feeling becomes.
Sometimes Brother Rong would have some treacherous thoughts in his heart and some audacious delusions.
Who wants to have life and death controlled by someone forever? Especially a modern person who has experienced the education of later generations. This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.
Emperor Xiande and King Zhongshun asked about the water conservancy camp in person.
Jia Rong answered them one by one. He added: "The first stage of compilation of agricultural books has been completed. Now the Yingtian Mansion is conducting breeding experiments. We just need to weigh and compare the agricultural books before compiling the agricultural books. In the coming year, we will expand the scope of the experimental fields and find out more productive planting methods. We will iterate step by step and promote it to all provinces.”
Brother Rong paused and said: "So I would like to ask for a decree. Next year, I can ask the ministers to send agricultural officials from various provinces to disperse them to each province and establish provincial grain research and promotion yamen. Of course, this matter needs to be allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs. silver……"
"Ahem..." The Thirteenth Master is the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He never thought that a bastard like Jia Rong would ask him for money.
