With the support of Zhao Fei, Zhao Guanjia walked very slowly, looking like an old man.
Zhao Mengqi, who was still in the doorway, couldn't help but secretly curl his lips as he watched.
You can really pretend. How come you were so fierce when you hit me just now?
Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and glared at Qian Duo, "Why don't you come over and help me!? You have no eyesight at all..."
Qian Duo rolled his eyes and threw two hygiene balls, "I didn't break your legs, why do you need help?"
"You know nothing about acting. It's called self-cultivation as an actor. Learn more so that your life path can go more smoothly." Zhao Mengqi said nonsense.
Although Qian Duo was reluctant on his face, he eventually became Zhao Mengqi's prop man and held up his arm with his thin shoulders.
Zhao Han was more proactive, "Fourth brother, I'll help you here."
So, with the support of two young ladies, Zhao Mengqi appeared in the sight of people near Yu Street, looking really miserable.
He tilted his body, putting his weight on Qian Duo's shoulders, and staggered forward, moaning from time to time, as if he had been seriously injured and lost half his life.
Even though the area around here is an important place for government offices, there is no distinction between status and status when it comes to watching the excitement. Many of the people peeking out on the street are in official uniforms, with some crimson among the cyan and green. Less than purple, after all, the big guys are more reserved.
Many people were really frightened by King Yan's dead look, "Oh! King Yan was really beaten, was he? It looked like he was still seriously injured..."
"Tsk, tsk, the officials are really heavy-handed... It seems that the birth of the little prince has made King Yan no longer so precious to the officials."
Although Concubine Yan gave birth to a dragon son, it has not been officially announced, but it is not a secret to people like the center.
"I'm afraid that what Mr. Gou said is a bit arbitrary. Why do you think this is actually the deep love between father and son in the Tian family? Only deep love can lead to full responsibility."
The person who said this was a censor. Now King Yan still has the official position of censor doctor, which is regarded as the direct superior of the censor station. In addition, Jiang Wanli, who is actually in charge of the censor station, has openly supported the king of Yan, so there are some people in the censor station. People consciously belong to the lineage of King Yan.
"What the Censor said is a bit biased. If he really loves you, he will still be measured in his actions. But look at the red marks on King Yan's face. It's shocking."
"What's there to argue about? It's a good thing that King Yan received such a lesson. I hope he will restrain himself in the future and stop being so arrogant and causing chaos in the government and the public..."
There are still many people in the court who are dissatisfied with King Yan. However, they cannot do anything to King Yan yet and can only complain privately.
"Hey, have you noticed that not only can the Guan family give birth to a prince at this age, but they can also beat King Yan like this, which shows that the dragon body is very healthy. From this point of view, it is very possible to have a grandson..."
This is said in a slightly obscure way, but the word "kin" for the grandson is particularly emphasized, so the meaning is naturally not that of Zhao Mengqi.
The deeper meaning is that the Zhao Guan family should be able to live until their biological son reaches adulthood, then it will be a bit difficult to say who will inherit the throne.
"So, it seems that Prince Yan's throne is not that stable..."
Many people around him nodded in agreement, and then they all changed their minds, thinking about how to choose in the future that would be in their own interests.
Some people also expressed dissent, "Haha, it's so whimsical, but don't look at it. There are so many princes in our dynasty, which one is as promising as King Yan? How can a baby who hasn't even been named yet be compared with King Yan?" "
"That's right, I see that only King Yan can revive our declining dynasty. We should write to the officials to appoint him as the prince as soon as possible and assist in the affairs of the dynasty..."
The person who said this seemed to be a supporter of King Yan, but it was hard to tell what his intentions were.
Everyone in the officialdom wears masks. It is not easy to tell whether they are humans or ghosts.
The imperial court is very complex, with representatives of various interests gathered together, with different demands. Even if they have common interests, their behavior styles are different.
Inside the gate of Zhongshu Province, there is a red-robed official
Listening to the discussions of these officials outside the door, the member could not help but fall into deep thought.
This man's name was Ma Tianji, courtesy name Defu, from Quzhou. In the second year of Shaoding, the second year after Zhao Yun ascended the throne, he won the Jinshi. He was only twenty-one years old at that time, and he could be said to be a young talent.
In fact, due to the increasing number of scholars in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination became more and more difficult, and even if you won the Jinshi, you may not be able to be assigned a practical position. After all, there are only so many carrot pits.
However, Ma Tianji was young and had room for development in the officialdom. Secondly, he was lucky. He was able to replace his official position soon after passing the exam and took up the official position in the Lingnan Magistrate's Office.
With this good start, he started to make soy sauce in the officialdom, without any real power, and was dull and boring.
Until there was a confrontation in the imperial court, Ma Tianji, who was unwilling to be ordinary, seized the opportunity and emerged.
He borrowed the name of Sima Guang's Wugui to describe the various shortcomings of the time in a detailed manner. He also used Zhou Shizong as a metaphor to implore Zhao Guan's family to "rise up and renew" so that the Southern Song Dynasty could become weaker and stronger.
This allowed him to be appreciated by Zhao Guan's family, and he was promoted to Secretary Supervisor, and then entered the fast track of official career. Finally, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Power and War, was granted the title of envoy to the coastal system, and was sent to Qingyuan Mansion.
Originally, according to convention, he should enter the central government and become a member of the central government, but perhaps because there was no one in the government, he could not go further and could only continue to work in the local area.
Later, he served as the governor of Chizhou and Jiangdong's promotion to Changping, and then he was changed to the governor of Guangzhou and the economic and strategic pacifier of Guangdong. Although he was regarded as a feudal official, compared with before, he even regressed slightly.
This time my term was up, so I returned to Lin'an to report on my duties and wait for new assignments.
Today he came to see Dong Huai, wanting to inquire about the situation and get an official position. Although Dong Huai met him, his words were very evasive, saying that his new position would not be arranged until after the new year.
This made Ma Tianji feel quite chilled, because if he was to be reused, he would have to be prepared, and if it was not arranged until after the new year, he would probably just find a corner to spend his time.
After the New Year, you will be 48 years old. If you waste your time in another place, your life will basically be over.
When he thought of this, the unwillingness and resentment in his heart became stronger. At this time, after hearing everyone's discussion, his mind was full of distracting thoughts.
Isn’t it just that there is no backer? I just need to find a thigh that can hug me!
There are two choices in front of you, one is King Yan and the other is the newly born little prince, so who should I choose?
King Yan is now very powerful, but there are already many big bosses around him. Wu Qian and Uncle Xie Fang are both prime ministers. If he sneaks in, he will be just a little shrimp. I am afraid he will not get much support, and he will still have to stay low. Means nothing.
The little prince, on the other hand, is still relatively unpopular at the moment. In addition, Concubine Yan’s previous influence in the outer court has basically been wiped out. Now there is an urgent need to cultivate new forces. With her own qualifications, isn’t she the best candidate?
By the way, I heard that there is a chamberlain in Concubine Yan's palace who is from Quzhou. It seems that he can speak in front of Concubine Yan. I have to find a way to contact this fellow...
The scene on the imperial street aroused the various thoughts of the ministers and officials, but the person involved, Zhao Mengqi, was unaware of it and continued to perform hard, moving like a snail behind Zhao Guan's house.
Zhao Guan's family was looking at the beautiful cars and horses in front of them with great interest. The appearance alone seemed to be much better than the chariots in the palace, so they liked it very much and couldn't help but praise their son in their hearts.
Then I heard "Ouch... Ouch..." coming from behind me. When I looked back, I almost laughed at Zhao Mengqi's pretending to be pitiful.
This bitch, who just talked back to me angrily, is acting like this now, who is he trying to fool! ?
So he couldn't help but raise his foot and kicked it again. Not only could Zhao Mengqi not hide, but he also had to move the thick part of his thigh to meet the dragon's foot, lest Zhao Mengqi hurt his toe...
After this kick, Zhao Guanjia woke up again. Didn't he plan to act out a show of severely punishing this kid from the beginning?
That's all, just make mistakes and play it out to the end.
"You're like this, you're about to die after just a few whips, why are you talking about going into battle to kill the enemy!? Listen to me, if you dare to take risks in the future, I'll beat you on both legs
Break! "
Zhao Guanjia yelled loudly, intending to be heard by the people around him.
His move was obviously to prevent ministers from wanting to send Zhao Mengqi to the battlefield in the future, so he laid an ambush in advance.
Zhao Mengqi didn't expect this, and even planned to brush these words off. As for the threat of breaking two legs, he didn't care at all. With his abnormal self-healing ability, he could grow it back even if it was broken. As long as it doesn't interrupt the third one.
"My son, I will obey my father's teachings."
Seeing that their son was submissive and looked like he was admitting his mistake, Zhao Guan's family also knew that it was probably just pretending, but they could only endure the boredom and said slowly, "Acknowledging your mistakes can make a lot of improvements. Since you are still young, you will no longer pursue the past matters. , it’s getting late, I will take the carriage you presented to me today to return to the palace..."
The implication of this statement is to tell the officials that even if King Yan did something wrong in the past, I have taught him a lesson today, and no one is allowed to repeat the old score in the future!
Zhao Mengqi naturally understood it, and a warm current surged in his heart. Old Zhao is such a good father.
"Why are you still standing there, get up here!" Lao Zhao stood by the car door and turned around to shout.
Riding in the new carriage presented by King Yan in public, and asking him to get on the carriage with him, it was obvious that they wanted to completely eliminate the possibility of trespassing. This is really a well-intentioned move by the Zhao Guan family...
Old man Lin and his two chamberlains had already checked in the car, and then Zhao Guanjia and Zhao Hui got in, and finally Zhao Mengqi and the other three got in. The space inside the car was quite large, and it seemed quite spacious for eight people.
As soon as the car door closed, Zhao Mengqi lost his disguise and returned to a tired look. He touched the soft chair beside the car and sat down.
Zhao Guan's family was really dumbfounded when they saw his virtuous attitude. They didn't know whether to say that it was a good thing that their son had a true temperament in front of them, or whether they should say that this boy was dishonorable and unworthy of a human being.
"You bastard, don't you know how to tell me the tricks of your old carriage!?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, here, daddy, try this sofa first... lean against the back of the chair... is it more comfortable than your throne?"
Zhao Mengqi helped Zhao Guanjia to sit on the specially made super soft chair very awkwardly. Zhao Guanjia felt as if he was being hugged, which was both comfortable and safe.
Although the sitting posture is a bit inelegant, it is indeed much more comfortable than the throne with only a thin layer of soft cushions. Moreover, the carriage is already in motion, but you can't feel any bumps. The slight swaying makes people feel drowsy.
As Zhao Mengqi enthusiastically introduced the facilities inside the car, the motorcade slowly entered the imperial city and headed towards the harem.
When approaching the harem, Old Man Lin asked, "Guan family, should we go back to Funing Hall directly?"
"Wait a minute." Zhao Mengqi interrupted before Lao Zhao could speak, "Where is my brother now?"
Old Man Lin was in a trance for a moment before he understood who the younger brother he was talking about was, "Of course it's in the Ciyuan Hall where Yan Zhaoyi lives."
Although the Zhao Guan family had demoted Concubine Yan's title, they still allowed her to live in the original dormitory, and her treatment had not been reduced. It might have been increased, nominally for the sake of the children.
Zhao Mengqi didn't care about these details, and smiled brightly at this moment, "I am the elder brother after all. I haven't seen my younger brother for so long since he was born. It doesn't make sense. Uninformed outsiders would think there is something dirty inside the Tian family. Well, I think it’s better to choose the day than to hit it, so let’s go and have a look now, dad, what do you think?”
"What's so good about a baby? We'll have a chance to meet you later, so why rush it?"
Zhao Guan's family didn't know what their son was planning for a while, and they were still a little worried.
Then Zhao Feng said with a little bit of coquettishness, "Dad, Mother Feng also wants to see her younger brother. Our family has only a few offspring, and having a baby is a big joy. Don't you want to see the harmony and closeness between our brothers and sisters!?"
"You guys are talking about this, how can I say no?" Zhao Guanjia laughed. Thinking about it carefully, under his nose, no matter how bold the brat is, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
"Old Lin, please go down and show up at Ciyuan Hall."
