one step closer to the end

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "King Zhao said everywhere inside that Layman Baozhai is the real plagiarist. Many people became suspicious, saying that his poetry style is very different, and it doesn't seem to be written by one person. Now they are clamoring to let Layman Baozhai Come out and confront!"

"go!"

Di Ji quickly said: "Hurry up and find Mr. Baozhai, and ask him what's going on!"

Chapter 0554

"Damn it! If you scold me for plagiarizing poems and intellectual property rights, no one will care about it..."

Zhao Guanren was walking on Xuanwu Avenue cursing. The public toilets, trash cans, and epidemic prevention regulations were all the fruits of his labor. As a result, the traitor Zhang Tiansheng copied them all, and even imitated the epidemic prevention supplies. Familiar objects can be seen everywhere.

"In fact, many things are bought from us, they can't make..."

Luo Tan and Qiu Ning led a group of Shunguo guards to follow closely behind, and Liu Piaopiao consciously led the way, not listening to what they had to say.

"That's right!"

Qiu Ning nodded and said: "The status of craftsmen in the Ji country is low, and the industry is far less developed than that of Dashun. The best silk and ironware come from our dynasty. Some unscrupulous traders often smuggle contraband to sell them in order to make huge profits. Alcohol is the best-selling here. !"

"I know! Some fools drink alcohol as wine..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head speechlessly, and followed Liu Piaopiao to a bustling intersection, facing the largest shop at the intersection, with a line of familiar copper characters hanging on the door - Lanshuihe Trading Company!

"My lord! Why are you here..."

The shopkeeper ran out from behind the counter in surprise, and led the staff to kneel and kowtow excitedly. Zhao Guanren hurriedly helped them up and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite to my family. I just came to see your business. Is there anything wrong?" difficulty?"

"My lord! My lords, please sit down quickly and serve tea..."

The shopkeeper happily invited them to take a seat, and said with a smile: "In the past, people from the Kyrgyz country were more cautious when doing business with us, but since we started getting married, our business has become better and better, and some yamen have begun to place orders with us, of course. ! There are more people who want to eat and take cards!"

"It's nice to see the King of Hades, but the little ghost is hard to deal with. You still have to give the gift that should be given..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "The two countries are going to open embassies to each other. If you encounter troubles in the future, go to the embassy to find the ambassador, but don't have too many contacts with them, let alone accept any tasks. You are only here for business. long!"

"The villain understands, and obeys the instruction!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed his hands, Zhao Guanren ordered some more things before leaving, and whispered to Luo Tan and Qiu Ning: "A group of people are following us, don't go to see the spies these few days, let alone put the spies in Shunguo In the shop!"

"Understood! We won't be so stupid..."

The two women looked at each other tacitly, and Zhao Guanren led them to continue to wander around, inspecting the shops opened by Shunguo merchants, and finally had lunch by the Qinhuai River before walking back with Liu Piaopiao.

"Didn't it mean that Qinhuai is full of love and moonlight? Why don't you open the door at noon..."

Qiu Ning looked around wonderingly, Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "The closing of the brothels means that the crackdown will be severe. They are the places where dirt is most likely to be hidden. The targets of strict investigation by various officials may be found out. Collectively close the door to avoid the limelight!"

"Hehe~ Master is really well-informed..."

Liu Piaopiao said with a smile: "During this period of time, for the investigation of the shadow agents, the whole country was in a state of chaos, and all major yamen were also conducting self-inspections, and indeed found out a lot of problems. The emperor scolded Jin Yiwei bloody It is said that they are discussing with the envoys to jointly attack Thailand!"

"If Xiaotai doesn't respond, I'm afraid the country will really be destroyed..."

Zhao Guanren walked up a small path with a smile, and returned to the Yihong Courtyard not long after. Who knew that many literati had not dispersed yet. An alley that was more than 200 meters long was filled with poems for them, and many people were still arguing.

"Great talents, don't just write poetry..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the gate and said with a smile: "Don't waste the walls of our house. You can write poems and paintings at the same time. From now on, our place will be a gallery of poems and paintings. We will frame good poems and paintings that are recognized as good. Paint it white, I will provide the pen and ink, and enough tea and cakes!"

"Okay! The son-in-law is wise..."

The literati were all overjoyed, and had the urge to become his diners, but a handsome young man in blue robes suddenly stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "My son-in-law! Ye Guanhai, the grandson of the Eastern Palace, please don't take it for granted!"

"Yo~ You're not in a hurry to see your wife, are you..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him playfully. He was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked polite, gentle, and his manners and conversation were very cultivated. He just had a pretty face and was thin. At first glance, he thought he was a rabbit. Lord.

"Actually, I came here before you went out. I just became obsessed with reading poetry and just woke up..."

The emperor's grandson said with admiration: "The two poems of my son-in-law deeply shocked me. I wish I could fight side by side with my son-in-law. I am happy with your friendship and hatred. Your poetry and painting gallery is really a great kindness. The younger generation also made a ugly poem." This is a clumsy work, please give me some pointers!"

"Don't call me son-in-law, call me uncle..."

Zhao Guanren patted his arm and said with a smile: "Don't beat around the bush, kid. I heard that you are obsessed with Xiao Qiao, and you want to marry our Yongning by name. Did you come here to see your wife?"

"My son-in-law, no! Uncle, my nephew is late, Princess Yongning has already closed the door to thank guests..."

The grandson of the emperor said embarrassingly with a blushing face: "Scholars are all praising, saying that the princess has the beauty of sinking fish and falling geese, which is better than the Jiangdong Xiaoqiao in the painting. Xiaoqiao is the fairy in the painting that my nephew is obsessed with. If you can see it Xiao Qiao really looks, my nephew... I hope my uncle will be happy!"

"Xiao Qiao did draw it after Yongning..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "But Yongning is a wild girl, and I'm afraid she doesn't match up with a gentleman like you. Uncle also brought you two other princesses, both of whom are well-educated and well-educated ladies. I will arrange for you to meet them one by one!"

"No no no!"

The grandson of the emperor hurriedly bowed and said: "My nephew only admires Princess Yongning, and it is a good fortune to meet him. If the princess is really not suitable to be a wife, or if I am not worthy of the princess, the other two don't matter. Follow the emperor's arrangement!"

"You haven't eaten yet, let's go in and talk slowly..."

Zhao Guanren dragged him to the Yihong Courtyard. In fact, he had a good impression of this kid. The grandson of the emperor is the second-generation heir. If he didn't bully men and women, he is very qualified. It is really rare for him to be so humble and respectful. nice guy.

"Luo Tan! You take the emperor's grandson to dinner, and I will inform Yongning and the others..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the tube building in the middle, and when he entered, he saw three princesses, both of whom were reading poems, only Yongning was lying on a recliner in the courtyard, with a pair of bare feet and his thighs crossed. head to eat grapes.

"You three go to dress up, the grandson of Emperor Ji is here..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and Yongwei stood up with anxious eyes, with a face of reluctance, but Yongping obediently led the maid upstairs.

"tui~"

Yongning spat out a grape seed, which just stuck to Zhao Guanren's crotch, and said contemptuously: "Come on! This master is not a fan in the brothel, why should he dress up for him? Who is he?"

"You guys have to go for a while..."

Zhao Guanren brushed off the grape pits on his lower body, and said, "You can go directly like this, but the young man is very well-educated, and there is no righteousness in buying and selling. Don't embarrass him. Dashun is ashamed. This is my only request!"

"It's not too bad, ask Yongping to dress up more beautifully..."

Yongning continued to eat grapes nonchalantly, Yongwei also bit his lip and sat down. In fact, the three sisters have all dressed up today, and the makeup has not been removed until now. After Xiao Yongping got dressed, Yongning unexpectedly went out with embroidered shoes.

"I'm an old Chinese doctor, specializing in bragging..."

Yongning was humming a ditty, deliberately put on a sloppy look to be disgusting, Yongwei also secretly messed up his hair, and walked into the front yard room under the leadership of Zhao Guanren. The emperor's grandson was already sitting in the main room upright waiting.

"Hmm~ This is Yongning, Yongwei and Yongping..."

Zhao Guanren coughed slightly in embarrassment, but the grandson of the emperor didn't see anyone else, so he came straight to Yongning, bowed and saluted with a red face, and even stuttered when he was so excited.

"Don't come close to me, do you understand the rules..."

Yongning frowned and took half a step back, and said in disgust: "Why do you look like a rabbit, I hate your little boy, we are not suitable at all, you can choose one of my sisters, they like the boy the most , it must be suitable for you!"

After Yongning finished speaking, he turned his head and left, but the grandson of the emperor rushed to catch up and said: "Princess, please stay! Xiao and Xiaosheng know that they are abrupt, so please forgive me if I offend you, but Xiaosheng wrote a poem for the princess with all his heart. Can you wait until the princess has finished listening before leaving?"

"You have to work hard on one poem, but if you write a few more poems, you won't die here..."

Yong Ning turned his head with a face full of contempt, only to see the emperor's grandson as if he had been electrocuted, looked at her, then hurriedly lowered his head, talked incoherently about a lot of lovesickness, and finally presented a love poem, full of nervousness My brain is sweating.

"So far I miss Xiao Qiao, but I dare not cross Jiangdong, are you composing poems for me, or going to my grave..."

Yongning folded his arms and said disdainfully: "Listen to me, the owner is the owner of Yongning County, not Xiao Qiao in the picture. If you want to marry Xiao Qiao, just hug her picture and sleep. Don't bother me. If you dare to come, I will call you to death with a big mouth, idiot!"

Yongning rolled his eyes at him, shook his head and left with arms folded, and the two Yongwei sisters also walked away with embarrassing salutes. In order not to marry, Yongning was thrown into the face of the royal family of Shunguo.

"Nephew!"

Zhao Guanren patted the dazed grandson of the emperor, and said with a wry smile: "Let me tell you, Yongning was a wild girl when she was young, not like a royal princess at all. What do you think of Yongping? She likes to read poetry and is very beautiful. It suits you very well!"

"That's right! It's her, she really is Xiao Qiao..."

The grandson of the emperor said excitedly: "Uncle! Yongning is exactly the same as the little Qiao I imagined. At first, I was worried that she was born in the palace and did not have the heroic spirit of Xiao Qiao. Today, seeing her is really extraordinary. Yongning is my dream. Man, my fairy in the painting! Hahaha..."

The grandson of the emperor ran out laughing like a madman, Zhao Guanren wondered with a puzzled face, "This kid can't be crazy, can't Xiao Qiao have such a heroic spirit, Diao Chan must have a heroic spirit!"

"My lord! The cigarette pictures in Ji country are different from those in our country..."

An eunuch took out some pictures, came over and said: "Look! Xiao Qiao and Diao Chan changed their heads, because people in Ji country like slender girls, so women's pictures have been changed. Xiao Qiao is Diao Chan in Ji country, and has become A female assassin!"

"Damn it! No wonder this kid is crazy..."

Zhao Guanren slapped his forehead in frustration. The female assassin on the picture looked like Yong Ning. Yong Ning deliberately exposed her true nature, just like the emperor's grandson, but Yong Ning was pregnant now.

"I have to think of a way quickly..."

Zhao Guanren walked out helplessly, but when he was secretly discussing with Yongning, a large number of people suddenly came outside and brought in many gifts.

"Who sent it, what is it..."

Zhao Guanren went out and happened to see Ye Jier, Ye Jier walked over and said with a smile: "A betrothal gift! Yong Ning can't beat the excitement of our grandson, so he ran back to kowtow to the emperor, and the emperor took him to kowtow to me again." , begged me to come over and give the dowry, and said that in this life, I would never marry!"

'It's over!It's a big shame now...'

Zhao Guanren turned around wanting to cry but without tears, Yongning leaned against the door frame nonchalantly, rubbing his belly and letting him weigh it...

Chapter 0555 Iron Rooster and Little Dragon Girl

"Xuan! The envoys of Shun Kingdom have an audience..."

A eunuch shouted loudly outside the hall, and saw Zhao Guanren in a red dragon robe leading several officials from the Ministry of Rites up the steps of the hall, Jia Bujia wearing a black dress, walking beside his back with his hands behind his back, Step into the Jiguo Hall together.

The palace of the Ji Kingdom is not red walls and glazed tiles, but a solemn black. It looks a bit like a palace left over from the Three Kingdoms period. Shayi.

"Prince Yongshi of Shunguo leads a delegation to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Jiguo..."

Zhao Guanren strode forward and bowed his hands, while Jia Bujia put his hands behind his back to be rude and didn't speak.

Just look at Emperor Jiwu sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform, but the nearly 50-year-old looks like a man in his early thirties, with a white face and a big beard. Compared with the calm and elegant Emperor Shun Yao, Emperor Jiwu is more like a rough general, giving people a sense of A feeling of rebellion.

Standing under the high platform is a bald monk with dark skin and exotic appearance. He really looks like an Indian Ah San. You don’t need to guess to know that it is Ji Lao San, the national teacher, and Hong Luan is also wearing a robe, sitting on the left On a chair at the very front.

"Yunxuan! The envoys don't need to kneel when they see me, but why don't you kneel when you see me..."

Emperor Jiwu looked down with a half-smile, and Zhao Guanren took half a step forward, lifted the dragon robe, knelt down and shouted: "My son-in-law, Zhao Yunxuan, kowtowed to Mr. Yuezhang, and I wish Mr. Yuezhang forever and forever!"

"Okay, okay! My son-in-law, please get up quickly..."

Emperor Jiwu raised his hand very satisfied, and all civil and military officials also showed smiles. Zhao Guanren stood as an envoy and knelt as a son-in-law, taking into account the face of the two countries, and at the same time expressed his personal attitude. Can't fault it.

"Your Majesty!"

Song Chizhu took a half step forward holding two big brocade boxes, and said respectfully: "This is the emperor of Shun Kingdom, I personally gave two gifts to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I wish the two children a happy marriage for a hundred years and grow old together. I hope His Majesty will accept it with a smile!"

"My father-in-law has a heart, thank you for my father-in-law..."

Emperor Jiwu smiled and waved his hands to be accepted, and said: "When the sending team goes to Shun country, my court envoys will send my heart, but I heard from the people in the Ministry of Rites that the conversation between you seems to be not very happy. Ah, your face is flushed because you are fighting over a small potato, is there such a thing?"

"Return to the emperor! It's just a small dispute..."

Song Chizhu said very tactfully: "I dare not bother the emperor with such trivial matters. The Ministry of Rites of your country is reasonable. We also come here with a sincere heart. We will definitely discuss a way to get the best of both worlds, so that the courts of the two countries All are satisfied!"

"very good!"

Emperor Jiwu nodded and asked: "My son-in-law! The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a small family, what do you think, I want to hear your opinion!"

"Your Majesty! You should have heard that Grandmaster Qianyexuan is from Thailand..."

Zhao Guanren raised his voice and said: "The Thai people have already penetrated into the internal organs of the Shun country. In their eyes, they have already put all their energy into the Ji country. I dare not say how deep they have penetrated, but from the times I have Judging from the attack, I'm afraid they have already penetrated into this hall!"

"I can't..."

"How amazing..."

"It's alarmist, it's impossible..."

The courtiers chattered and talked, but Ji Lao San stood up and smiled and said: "Thank you, the son-in-law, for your mercy, and did not say that the poor monk colluded with the traitor!"

"Master Ji! Don't be self-inflicted, you know best what you have done..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "I fought against Nan Litian outside the pass. I scolded him at that time. You fucking joined forces with Kshatrira. The old bastard replied to me, the bald donkey will save you in Jinling, Baga! Go to hell!" Now! These are his words!"

"Pfft~"

Many courtiers covered their mouths and laughed, and Jia Bujia finally opened his mouth to sneer: "Gay three! Your allies call you a donkey, what kind of friends do you have?"

"Ridiculous! What kind of thing is Nan Litian, and he deserves to join hands with me..."

The gay man said disdainfully: "Zhao Yunxuan! You don't have to tell the truth here, the old man learned the skill of playing the immortal lineage 160 years ago, and the old man can tell you straightforwardly, if I make a move, you will not be able to reach Jinling City !"

"Pretend! Keep pretending, pretend I don't exist..."

Jia Bujia looked at him arrogantly, and Zhao Guanren also said arrogantly: "Go ahead, anyway, my master said, if you dare to pretend to be aggressive, he will blow your ass, this time I will use the mace to make you feel good." !"

"you……"
