Just when Zhao Mengqi got off the boat, in the Hening Gate Tower, Zhao Guan's family looked out the window in the direction of the dock.
"They should be here..."
"So what if he arrives? Didn't you ask Yang Dong to give him a message to let him enter the palace a few days later? Why, are you so anxious to see him now?"
The person who answered was Old Man Lin. He was sitting cross-legged in front of a banquet table filled with delicacies, drinking a small drink leisurely, with a contented look on his face.
There are only two of them in this pavilion. The other palace guards and other guards are all downstairs and cannot be disturbed unless ordered.
Hearing this sarcastic tone, Zhao Guan's family couldn't help but get angry, "Who wants to see that brat?!? I just miss Fen Niang. I have been taken out by that brat for so long, and I don't know how much hardship I have suffered outside. No matter how many sins you have committed, you still have to be frightened and frightened. You must miss home and miss me as your father..."
"Haha... This man is getting older, and he is becoming more and more at odds with his words."
Old man Lin shook the wine cup, and the old man was there, "Do you have to play those tricks with your son? If you really piss him off, then scold him when he deserves it, and beat him when he needs to be beaten. What is there to worry about? Do you think that he Can you really do anything disobedient? Or do you think that since you have your little son, you don’t want to kiss him anymore?”
"Look where are you getting this?" Zhao Guanjia couldn't laugh or cry. He walked back to the desk, sat down, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a full cup.
He drank it all in one gulp and exhaled a long breath, "What kind of tricks can I use on that brat? With his cleverness, how could he not see it? Even if he didn't expect it, Yang Dong didn't remind him. Do you think so? Aren’t you going to do it? These are just smooth sailing, just for those people to see.”
"Hey! Don't accuse me wrongly. I don't have time to worry about other people's sons..." Old Man Lin opened his mouth to defend himself.
Zhao Guanjia looked at him with disdain, "Oh, you were talking about me just now, so aren't you saying what you mean!?"
Old Lin's expression remained unchanged, "But I really have no intention of doing anything. I believe I won't misjudge the person."
"Yes, yes, you must be noble." Zhao Guanjia filled another cup and said, "Let's go."
The two old guys clinked glasses but drank cleanly without spilling any wine.
Zhao Guanjia seemed to be inspired, "After what happened in Duan Ping Nian, I have clearly seen through those people. How could I not know what they are thinking now?"
"They know that something cannot be stopped, so they simply don't stop you. They turn around and help you go up. When you get higher and higher, they inadvertently pull out the ladder, remove the footing, and make you fall down hard. You deserve it if you fall to death. If you can still breathe, you have to take the blame yourself and confess your guilt to the whole world..."
Twenty years ago, Zhao Yun launched the Northern Expedition with great ambitions, but in the end he had to end in despair, issuing a self-incriminating edict and taking all the blame.
This matter was buried deep in his heart and became more and more painful.
Thinking back to this, Zhao Guan's family couldn't help but feel desolate, "This group of people is invisible and invisible, but they are everywhere. Now they are targeting the brat again, and now they are planning to repeat their old tricks. I don't know, what will happen in the future?" The full moon baby will be used as a knife by them. Regardless of whether they want it or not, a fratricide is inevitable. What's more, the brat and the baby's mother still have old grudges. What can I do? If it weren't for the brat His foundation is still shallow, so I would like to simply get the Zen position and let him figure it out on his own..."
"After all, aren't you still afraid that the big ones won't tolerate the little ones? I think you are completely unfounded. That kid is not a ruthless person."
Old man Lin had his mouth stuffed with meat and muttered without delaying his words at all.
Zhao Guanjia smiled, but it was very bitter, "Can this be left to him? Is Taizong of the Li family ruthless? Does he like to kill his brothers and force his father? Hey, the most ruthless is the emperor's family..."
Old Man Lin knew that Zhao Guan's family was right. Since ancient times, when it comes to the struggle for the throne, there has been no friendship at all, and some of it has only been about eradicating the roots and avoiding future troubles forever.
The old Zhao family may look a little better in appearance, but the essence is the same.
However, Old Man Lin still insisted on his opinion, "Meng Qi is quite different, otherwise, your little son would never have been born.
"
These words shocked Zhao Guanjia, but he started to argue, "How is it possible!? Even if he had that intention, he would not be able to succeed under my heavy protection..."
Old Man Lin raised his eyelids and said disapprovingly, "What the women in your harem can do, do you think Meng Qi can't do it with his scheming methods?"
"Ahem...unless you help him!" Zhao Guanjia choked.
"Then you are wrong. I will definitely not help him with this kind of thing. If he dares to talk like this, I will give him a slap in the face!"
Old Man Lin not only raised his eyelids, but rolled his eyes directly, "Speaking of which, you are able to have such a small one thanks to Meng Qi's contribution..."
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? Why do you mean that I have a son because of him!?"
It's a matter of man's dignity. Even if he knew that Old Man Lin didn't mean that, he was still a little excited when he arrived at Zhao Guan's house.
"Don't be impatient yet." Old Man Lin was still calm and said after taking a bite of the side dish, "Well, I didn't want to tell you about this, so as not to cause trouble for you, because the kid had bad intentions at the beginning and wanted to protect himself, so He wanted to design a false pregnancy for Concubine Yan. The person who carried out this plan for him was Dr. Chong Tai. Who knew that by some combination of circumstances, the false pregnancy would become true."
"Chong Imperial Physician?" Zhao Guan's family was still a little confused, "Isn't he a member of Madam Yan?"
"Originally, Concubine Yan forced him to attack Meng Qi, but after Meng Qi woke up, she used some means to instigate him to rebel..."
Old man Lin explained slowly, his tone full of appreciation.
Zhao Guanjia suddenly realized, "No wonder the brat sent him to Prince Yan's Mansion later. I thought he wanted to stay with him to take revenge..."
"So, if that boy Meng Qi is really cruel and lets Dr. Chong do some tricks, then the child will be gone... From here on, I like this boy more and more. He is brave, resourceful and dares to think. You don't have to have a bottom line when doing it. This kind of temper can't be taught, and it won't change easily over time. If you have such a person as your son, you can secretly enjoy it."
Old Man Lin's tone seemed to have a lemony flavor.
Zhao Guanjia thought silently for a while and nodded subconsciously, "This child, follow me! Value friendship and understand the importance!"
Tsk tsk, as expected, the whole family is so stinky and shameless...
Old Man Lin secretly murmured in his heart, "Do you think he doesn't know the impact of having multiple brothers on him? He has a clear mind, but he still doesn't take action. In addition to being kind in his heart, he also has an extremely strong self-confidence, which is ugly to say. No, he doesn’t pay attention to that little baby at all. Even if you are really biased to the point of being petty, he is sure to have the last laugh.”
"Haha, he is so arrogant! So he commits suicide every day and almost loses his own life."
Zhao Guanjia curled his lips, loving and hating his son Zhao Mengqi.
"If everything follows your rules, don't expect him to achieve much."
"Speaking of Lao Lin, is it possible that I am so useless?"
"I didn't say that..."
The two old men started bickering like children.
Zhao Mengqi's motorcade entered Lin'an City from Dongqing Gate with full guard of honor.
There was no need to blow gongs to clear the way, the people had already consciously stood on both sides of the imperial street, looking up and down.
Perhaps because of the experience of the assassination, security has been tightened a bit. No one is allowed in the pavilions along the street, and people from the Guards and Pro-Military Division are still on guard. Moreover, these forbidden troops do not carry crossbows.
In addition to the people from the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Department, people from the Military Inspection Institute, under the leadership of Mo Chunfeng, went out to patrol everywhere to protect King Yan.
When the motorcade appeared in people's sight, it aroused waves of cheers from the people. The most frequently shouted word was, "Hail, His Highness, King Yan."
Even the Zhao Guan family may not have enjoyed this kind of enthusiasm.
It can only be said that the people have a strong mind and know what kind of leader they need, which also shows that they are full of expectations for the future.
Of course, Zhao Mengqi's fame could not have been achieved without dedicated people working hard to promote King Yan among the people.
Promote his various deeds.
When the people saw clearly the various carriages in the long queue that looked a little strange but full of style, they even screamed in surprise.
"What a magnificent horse! It's so majestic!"
"The car at the front looks like a moving palace, luxurious and noble. Your Highness must be sitting in it..."
"Hey! You are just ignorant. You don't even know how many horses are pulling the cart? Doesn't the emperor even know how to drive a cart? How can King Yan use this cart? To use it is to overstep the mark!"
"Your Highness is the Crown Prince and has accomplished so many great achievements. So what if you use six horses? I think Your Highness is qualified..."
"Haha, I can't explain it to you, an old man like you. Rules are rules. No matter how great your achievements are, you must follow the rules. Unless King Yan becomes an official, then you can use it!"
"Then let His Highness become an official as soon as possible. Then we can make more money and pay less taxes like the people in Pingjiang..."
"Mom, you dare to say such nonsense, you are such a fool! In the previous dynasty, you would have been arrested and beheaded. Even in this dynasty, if you meet an official with a square head, you will be beaten severely. More than a dozen boards, and then you will be exiled to the army."
"Don't scare me..."
"Are you scared? ...According to the rules, King Yan should sit in the second car, but isn't this car a bit too girly? Isn't it said that King Yan is a good man who dares to kill the enemy himself and stands upright? "
"Stop guessing. The imperial guard over there said that the first two vehicles are gifts from His Highness King Yan to the officials and saints..."
"Really? I'm just saying, King Yan shouldn't be so unruly. Well, King Yan is also very filial!"
"Then where is your highness in the car?"
"Hey, is this something you can ask about?"
"Tsk, tsk, these carriages look very impressive. If we can have one, it would be so beautiful. Even if I trade it with my wife, I would be happy."
"Stop dreaming. Let's not talk about whether your wife is worth anything. Even if your family has a fortune of hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars, you can't use this carriage. We in the Song Dynasty don't have many horses at all, and all of them are owned by the public. Even prime ministers usually don’t use horses, you see, Dong Xiang rides in an ox-cart.”
"Hey...that's such a pity? I don't know why, but the first time I saw these carriages, I longed to own one."
"Hey, I thought I was the only one who thought this way, but it turns out that my dear friend also has this idea. It's true that heroes have the same idea. This carriage can show my manliness!"
"Hahaha, Lu Sheren, if you say that your family is rich, I will believe you..."
"Brother, why does this sound a bit sour? As the saying goes, a penny can defeat a hero. Money makes a man brave. If you have money, you can do whatever you want. What's wrong with that? If this car is sold, it will be worth thousands of dollars. I will be there too. No matter what!"
"Okay, okay, if that day comes, I can drive the carriage for Lushe people."
"Okay, let's make it this way. You will definitely be driving Lu's car. By the way, I wonder what your surname is?"
"Forget your surname Guan..."
Originally, the common people wanted to come to see King Yan, but unexpectedly, many people were soon attracted by these four-wheeled carriages.
Perhaps whether it is a horse or a car, there is a unique sense of power and beauty that attracts people.
If you imagine that you can own such a car, the envy of others will be enough to make you wander.
It has to be said that most people actually have the desire to be superior to others, so they like to show off how they are better than others. Some people even think they know more, and they can ridicule and abuse others without restraint, as if they don't. It cannot reflect the value of his existence.
There are also some people who are more straightforward. They have some money in their pockets and try every means to show it off.
How to show off? You can't put the word "rich" on your face, so you have to work hard on eating and drinking.
It’s not a matter of quality, it’s mainly about showing wealth, which is why luxury goods are so popular.
There were many rich people in the Song Dynasty, and they were everywhere in Lin'an City. Everyone was tired of showing off their wealth in the past, but now
A more advanced approach is urgently needed.
For example, even the prime minister can't use a horse. If he can use it, he will definitely be incomparable glory.
Therefore, after many wealthy people see this kind of carriage that can attract everyone's attention, they naturally have a desire to own it.
However, they themselves also knew, just thinking about it, that the horse ban in the Song Dynasty had become increasingly strict after crossing from the south.
No one thinks that it is possible for the court to relax the horse ban, unless all the princes and officials in the court are crazy!
If we really let go, these rich people will probably go crazy too.
The motorcade walked along the Royal Street, from north to south, leaving behind a lot of topics along the way, and the number of people discussing the carriage was slightly more than the number of people talking about King Yan.
Zhao Mengqi in the car was very satisfied with this phenomenon, with a little complacency on his face.
"Teacher, look, I think this carriage can create a trend in the Song Dynasty."
Yang Dong felt a little complicated and didn't know what to say.
Just be afraid, Your Highness, you have screwed up, and then there will really be no more horses left in the army...
After walking like this for nearly an hour, the convoy finally entered Chaotianmen, with the Imperial City in sight.
p, the computer is down and I can only use my mobile phone to code. I always feel something is wrong...
