Xia Song was just surprised that when he went to the palace to meet the Saint today, the Second Saint Queen Mother Liu didn't mention anything about Liang Chuan, which made him feel strange. The more this happened, the more he felt that this matter was strange and it was not appropriate to make a conclusion early.
His plan is to place Liang Chuan in his house first, use it if it is useful, and dispose of it if it is not useful. It is just an extra mouth, and the initiative is in his own hands!
Liang Chuan was with his girl for Xin Wubing, otherwise he would not be willing to come to this place of right and wrong again if he gave him money. This place was a happy place for scheming careerists, and was not suitable for idle clouds and wild cranes like him who aspired to the fields.
He asked Zhan Zhao about Xin Wubing's whereabouts, and Zhan Zhao simply didn't know his whereabouts, but he should be fine, at least until Liang Chuan was fine. .
He shouldn't have let Xin Wubing go back to Xia Song in the first place. He didn't even know what his future would be. If Xia Song wanted to break through, he would definitely start with Xin Wubing!
What a scheming Xia Song.
Anyway, Zhan Zhao became Liang Chuan's true guard. Xia Song took Liang Chuan to show off in front of everyone. Liang Chuan continued to go out the next day. He was exposed now anyway, so there was nothing to worry about.
The sky in Bianjing is a rare sight, and the warm sunshine shines on the face, giving people a comfortable warmth, which only makes Liang Chuan's tattoos more conspicuous.
Liang Chuan led Zhan Zhao to the entrance of Shuanglong Lane, handed the horse to Zhan Zhao and said, "I'm going to visit an old friend. You hold my horse and wait for me for a while. I'll go and come back."
Zhan Zhao no longer worried that he would never come back, so he just took the reins from him and waited quietly at the entrance of the alley.
Liang Chuan adjusted his clothes and straightened his messy hair, and then walked into the alley to find Zhao Yunrang.
This alley has not changed much, but a baby dragon once flew out of here.
Zhao Yunrang's home was still so small and dilapidated. Liang Chuan picked up the door knocker and smashed it twice, but there was no movement. After thinking about it, Zhao Zongshi was taken into the palace by Zhao Zhen and became the East Palace. This father is more valuable than his son, I'm afraid Zhao Yunrang had already gone to enjoy his glory elsewhere, why would he still be crowded into this shabby house in this alley?
Liang Chuan waited for a long time, but saw no movement. He sighed and could only turn around and leave.
At this moment, the door opened with a creak, and a hearty laughter came: "Come to my house, why don't you come in and sit down and then leave?"
If not Zhao Yunrang, who else?
Liang Chuan's body froze midway, and slowly turned around. He saw that Zhao Yunrang was still the same Zhao Yunrang, without any change, but his face was more calm. At this time, he was standing alone at the door with a spring-like smile. He looked at Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan suddenly knelt down and bowed his hands: "Master Zhao! You... still remember the villain."
Mr. Zhao has always been Liang Chuan's name for Zhao Yunrang. He used to be Mr. Zhao, and he is still Mr. Zhao now.
Zhao Yun let him kneel down and hold his arm, which made Liang Chuan feel flattered.
"You can't help it, get up quickly."
Liang Chuan didn't dare to ask for help and immediately stood up. Zhao Yunrang pulled him and walked into the house.
Zhao Yunrang's current status is much different than before, but the situation at his home has not changed at all compared to the previous two years. However, the firewood at home is more abundant, and he no longer has to worry about food and drink.
There were no servants in the family, so Zhao Yunrang brought Liang Chuan into the house and he was busy himself, boiling water and making tea, adding charcoal to the fire, and leaving Liang Chuan in the cold. He might be the only one in the room, and the original temperature was a bit cold, so this would be a welcome change.
Liang Chuan even had an illusion. Could it be that Zhao Zongshi had been sent back? Otherwise, it would not be too much for Zhao Yunrang to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day based on his status. However, it seems that he is a person with general knowledge and will not be arrogant and licentious because of his change of status.
Zhao Yunrang seemed to be in a good mood and finished all this with a smile, while Liang Chuan waited patiently. Suddenly, the father of the prince stood up and bowed to Liang Chuan with a solemn expression.
"My lord, why is this?"
Zhao Yun bowed his body in mid-air and said to Liang Chuan: "I know I can't forgive Sanlang, so I can only apologize for this. Please don't take offense to Sanlang."
Liang Chuan said: "How dare you, little man! Sir, sit up."
"Our opportunities don't stop there. Now
It was because of Saburo that our school had a slight turn for the better. Thanks to the official's support, unexpectedly, Saburo was accidentally implicated. I wanted to help but couldn't help! "
"If the adults have this kind of heart, the little man will die without repayment. The adults say that you should never mention this matter again in the future. It is the little man's blessing that he is lucky enough to do his best!"
Zhao Yun gave way: "My useless son has been in the palace since he was favored by the officials. He has been as scared as ice on thin ice all day long. My father and son dare not forget their origins. There are really too many evil people in the court, and there are many villains who are harmful to the child." , I also advised my son to intercede for Saburo in front of the officials, but it was a pity..."
"I said at the beginning that we must not let Little Prince Zhao get involved in this matter. It has finally become a fact, and the current situation is not stable. If something happens to me, I will regret it for the rest of my life! Sir A villain with this kind of heart will die without repayment!"
After speaking, Liang Chuan knelt down on his knees to Zhao Yunrang again and performed a formal ceremony.
Zhao Yunrang stood up and helped Liang Chuan up. Zhao Yunrang looked at the tattoo on Liang Chuan's face with infinite emotion, but was helpless. This had become a fact.
The two sat across from each other, and the tea in the room was still the fine tea that Sun Houpu had brought.
"It seems like new tea!"
"Brother Pu brings tea to me every month. I can't finish it all by myself. Sometimes I give some away when someone comes."
What Zhao Yunrang drank was Sun Houpu's tea, which shows that Brother Pu himself is quite good at human relations! Usually, some members of the Zhao family came to visit, and there was no way to go home empty-handed when greeting or seeing off, so Sun Houpu brought the tea at the right time.
"Shouldn't your style be to thank guests behind closed doors? Hahaha!" Liang Chuan joked.
Zhao Yun let his old face turn red and said: "Ahem, Sanlang expected it to be extraordinary. Ever since I was a child and established the Eastern Palace, from the officials in the border areas to the merchants and hawkers, my humble home has almost been broken down by these speculators. I simply ignore it." "If you offend one person, you will be offended. If you offend a group of people, you will be offended. Don't worry if there are too many lice!"
This year, more people came to Zhao Yunrang to ask for help than tourists on Mahang Street. Zhao Yunrang didn't know the situation at first, so he met with a few people politely. Later, everyone caught wind of the situation, and those who wanted to join the queue in advance came to visit. Zhao Yunrang was so angry that he closed the door. Never opened it again.
"God's Coming"
Liang Chuan stood outside the door for a long time. Zhao Yunrang also saw Liang Chuan in the crack of the door. He was surprised and surprised. After confirming that there was no one else, he opened the door.
"Why didn't Mr. Zhao buy a new property for you?"
"I am quite free and at ease. The officials also gave me a new residence. It's just that I'm used to living alone, so I didn't change it."
He wanted to change, but he was afraid of causing Zhao Zhen's resentment. After he declined, he received a lot of praise from Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen is still young now. He doesn't really want to make Zhao Zongshi the East Palace. It's just that if one of the East Palace members is unstable, the villains in the court will have evil ideas! Someone needs to stop the crowd of officials in the court. If Zhao Zhen gives birth to his son, he will have to come back and be his little commoner.
His status may not be higher than Liang Chuan!
Since ancient times, it has been believed that there are two types of people who are the least valuable and whose status is most dangerous. One is the emperor, and the other is the deposed prince. Unfortunately, Zhao Zongshi was afraid of catching up with the next trip!
"Is Mr. Zhao okay now?" Liang Chuan asked tentatively.
Speaking of this, Zhao Yunrang's mood was obviously heavy. The water boiled gurglingly, and after taking a sip, he said: "After all, I'm not a direct descendant..."
The word "direct descendant" is a knot that cannot be solved in ordinary people's homes, not to mention that this is the position of crown prince that determines the fate of the empire. No one can willingly hand over their world to someone else's child. He, Zhao Zhen, is not a saint either.
Two words express how much heaviness and helplessness.
Zhao Zongshi's life was really miserable. It was so miserable that he went crazy on the day Zhao Zhen died, but Han Qi blocked the news.
This kid lives in fear of being crippled all day long, which would drive a normal person crazy!
Liang Chuan only said one sentence: "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is a bright future in the village. All you have to do is to advise the young Prince Zhao to stick to your heart in everything. Persistence is victory."
If anyone else said this, Zhao Yunrang would just say something sarcastic like your mother said, but today it was Liang Chuan. .
He still vividly remembered the scene when Liang Chuan met him. Why did he not see any of the feudal officials who came to meet him? He only met Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan helped their father and son when they were in the most difficult time, and found Zhao Zongshi the best person in the world. How could a first-class gentleman not accept his favor from Zhao Yunrang? People are nostalgic for the past. They don't remember the icing on the cake, but only remember the time when they need help.
Sometimes he, Zhao Yunrang, would also think that Liang Chuan must have expected that his son would become the East Palace, so he approached him, but then he thought about whipping himself. What a shameless idea it was. There were thousands of Zhao clan members in Bianjing City. , how come others couldn't predict it, but only Liang Chuan could see it?
Regardless of whether this was destined or someone did it deliberately, in short, it was beneficial to their Zhao family. What else did he have to think about?
"Hold on, it's only the children who are suffering!"
Liang Chuan said: "Your Majesty, you are sorry that the emperor has no family ties in his family affairs. In the future, Prince Zhao's achievements can comfort Taizu. There is no such thing as gold falling from the sky. But just remember one sentence, good things will take a long time!"
", as the saying goes, good things come only in time, this is the most difficult job in the world, hey..."
What father doesn't want his son to become successful, but the process is a bit difficult.
"Sir, where is Mr. Meng now?"
Now Zhao Zongshi has made Zhao Zhen the Duke of Julu County, and Zhao Yunrang has also been made the Prince of Runan County. He also paid homage to Tongping Zhangshi and conferred the title of Dazongzong Temple.
The Zhao clan judged that the prime minister and deputy prime ministers had no real power, but that they were not inferior to the officials in the court in terms of grade. But allowing Zhao Yun to take over the main temple meant that Zhao Yun was given some importance.
Zongzhengji looks like an idle institution, but it is not!
In the past, Zhao Yunrang was, to put it bluntly, a clan member who was about to become a commoner. A few generations later, he was no different from a pawn selling vegetables and pigs on the street. Now his fortune has skyrocketed, and he is in charge of an institution that integrates the virtues and arts of the clan. The right to be impeached by saints, and the number of clan members must be counted every year. This institution is often occupied by virtuous people, and it cannot be said to be an idle institution.
To put it bluntly, this organization is a social organization for these Zhao clan members. Anyone who wants to do something serious must deal with this place.
Liang Chuan didn't need to think too much about how complicated the relationship between the royal family was. As long as he could take care of all the relationships here, why worry about Zhao Yunrang's poor connections in the future?
"Mr. Meng is now teaching and managing the clan for me at Dazong Temple."
It would have been better if Meng Liangchen had not been moved because of himself.
His set of theories were taught by himself, as well as his own life ambitions. If he preached them everywhere, he might not live very long!
Fortunately, Meng Liangchen's character is like that. He is willing to be calm. After something happened, he has the feeling of seeing through the world and will not argue with others. It is estimated that he only taught this theory to Zhao Zongshi in Bianjing City. !
"Well, it's getting late. Your Excellency, please rest early. I'll go and do the chores at hand. I'll come back to see you when I have the opportunity in the future!"
"It's so fast. Sit down for a while. You haven't taken a sip of the tea yet?"
Liang Chuan said: "My current status is special, and it is really not suitable for me to stay in your home for a long time. By the way, sir, there was a candidate in the scientific examination last year whose surname was Bao Mingzheng. I wonder where he is now?"
The tattoo on Liang Chuan's face was particularly conspicuous. Zhao Yunrang was stunned and couldn't say much. He could only stay politely and finally sent Liang Chuan out.
"Bao Zheng? I remember that he was appointed magistrate of Tianchang County first. It seems that he has only recently come to Beijing to report on his duties. The Ministry of Personnel has not issued a new sentence. Why don't you go to the Ministry of Personnel and ask."
Because he avoided suspicion, he mostly ignored the affairs of the DPRK. Bao Zheng was probably remembered because he was too dark.
Zhan Zhao waited in the alley for half a day and finally saw Liang Chuan and asked, "Shall we go back?"
"I'll take you to meet someone."
Take me to meet someone? Zhan Zhao was full of questions.
