Funing Hall

After Qian Shang left, Zhao Cong walked into the inner room and sat down on the low couch.

Just now when the two of them were discussing matters, they dismissed everyone. After the money merchant left, Fu Lu came in to take a look, and Zhao Cong waved him out.

There was a low table on the couch, and he propped it up and massaged his temples with his fingers.

He was still thinking about court affairs, and suddenly he thought of finding someone to keep an eye on Du Cheng. Those who use Du Cheng as a swordsman naturally can't let Du Cheng go easily.He opened his mouth and called, "Fulu."

As soon as the words fell, someone came in immediately. He still frowned and rubbed his temples, and said softly: "Go and order Shao Yi to send someone to watch Du Cheng, and go right away..." Halfway through his speech, someone sat down beside him, and he opened his eyes. Eyes, the line of sight has been covered by the sleeves.

It's a green shirt.

He didn't realize it for a while, until Zhao Shiqi reached out to massage his temples, he realized that this is Little Eleven.

Zhao Shiqi has taken an official position, and is currently a sixth-rank official in Beijing, and his official uniform is green.

It's just that since he started to run business, the two of them eat together every time, mostly at night, and Zhao Shiqi changed his official uniform early.This was the first time he had seen Little Eleven wearing an official uniform, and he looked back.

Zhao Shiqi sat beside him and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you have a headache?"

Zhao Cong looked at him carefully, the pine forest green round neck gown was obviously worn by officials of the sixth rank, he had seen it many times, and he had not noticed it for a long time, after all, Xiao Tang was also from the sixth rank.It happened that Xiao Shiyi was very different in such a suit.

Zhao Shiqi seemed to realize what he was looking at, stood up with a smile, turned around, and then smiled at Zhao Cong: "Your Majesty, how about this body?"

Zhao Cong is still looking at it carefully, this is the first time he has looked at the official uniform so carefully.

From the sixth grade, there is no need to wear a fish bag, let alone a jade pendant, which is very plain.But it made the 16-year-old Xiaoshi even more handsome. He has long legs, thin waist and broad shoulders.A person who can dress such an ordinary official uniform handsomely is truly handsome.

I really can't watch too much, Zhao Cong secretly sighed.After watching too much, I can think of the scene on the boat again, and the willow branches that just sprouted on the shore.Swaying with the wind in the spring breeze, it seems to be careless, but it is full of vitality, which can absorb all people's minds. 16 years old, really the best time.

Zhao Shiqi laughed again: "Your Majesty, isn't it pretty?"

Zhao Cong nodded involuntarily, it was very beautiful, very beautiful.

"I specially wore it today to show His Majesty."

Zhao Cong patted his side with a smile: "Okay, sit down, I've seen it."

Zhao Shiqi sat down according to his words, then rubbed his temples for him, and asked softly, "Why does Your Majesty have a headache? But because of today's court meeting?" Zhao Shiqi is only a sixth-grade servant, without special orders, he cannot participate in such court meetings , but he is working in the library in the palace, not to mention his status is not ordinary, so he can know it immediately.

Zhao Cong didn't pretend to be in front of him, and nodded: "As you and I expected, there is indeed a second hand, but Du Yu's nephew is really disgusting."

Zhao Shiqi had already noticed that Zhao Cong hated the betrayer very much.

He persuaded: "Your Majesty, we were all waiting for this to happen. It would be great if it happened now, but do you want to send someone to watch Du Cheng?"

Zhao Cong laughed: "I thought of going together, I plan to send Shao Yi there."

"Shao Yi is dedicated to collecting information for His Majesty. Why bother him? It's overkill. The 20 people I brought from Hangzhou this time are also very capable. How about some?" Zhao Shiqi stared at Zhao Cong after finishing speaking. .

He has selfishness, and he hopes that one day, Zhao Cong will never be able to leave him again.

You can't live without it in politics, you can't live without it, you can't live without it emotionally, you can't live without it, you can't live without it.

He's going to start penetrating.

Zhao Cong didn't know what was going on in his mind, because he was enjoying the massage, he had already closed his eyes, and asked interestedly, "Can they keep an eye on it?"

"Your Majesty, trust me."

Zhao Shiqi's voice was intimate, as if coquettish, Zhao Cong was in a good mood, and opened his eyes to look at him: "Shao Yi also sent someone to go with you." Zhao Shiqi still wanted to speak, and he said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but this is not a trivial matter after all. More people means more protection.”

Zhao Shiqi knew not to be in a hurry, so he said obediently, "Okay."

Zhao Cong patted his hand: "Go out and make arrangements, make arrangements to come back early and have dinner together."

Zhao Shiqi held his hand backhand and nodded: "Okay."

Something was wrong again in Zhao Cong's heart, but Zhao Shiqi had already let go of his hand, saluted, turned and walked out of the inner room.

Zhao Cong stared blankly at his back, lowered his head and smiled again.

Zhao Shiqi is really attractive in green clothes. The more he looks like that, the better he looks in green, sky blue, lake blue and other colors.He really is a brilliant 16-year-old boy, more tender than a bud.Zhao Cong sighed again, going out in official robes like this, I don't know how many girls in the street will be liked.

He couldn't help but want to change the color of official robes. Officials from the third rank to the sixth rank should wear scarlet clothes, but not everyone in the Song Dynasty can wear red.These should have been changed a long time ago, Zhao Cong thought of doing it, and immediately asked Fu Lu to go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss the matter.

While they were talking here, Qian Shang was also talking to Qian Yuemo.

Although they are father and daughter, there is not much to say.Qian Shang is a strict father, who strictly required her to read and write since she was a child, and she didn't have much communication other than that.

The two of them sat opposite each other, drank a cup of tea, and the money merchant got up to leave.

Qian Yuemo hurriedly said to Piao Shu: "Go and put the tea cakes made of spring tea that His Majesty rewarded last time into a box."

Piao Shu left in response, Qian Yue smiled silently: "Father, this tea cake is very fragrant, His Majesty only rewarded his daughter."

"Your Majesty treats you well, and you should be courteous."

"Yes, my daughter has always been like this."

"Your Majesty is 21. After this year, I'm afraid there will be a draft next year—"

Qian Yuemo immediately interrupted him: "A draft?!" For some reason, she suddenly thought of Zhao Shiqi, would he be willing?

Qian Shang pretended that she didn't want to, frowned and said, "What kind of form are you? Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so the harem can't be so deserted!"

"Yes, His Majesty never mentioned it."

"This is just the thoughts of a few of us, and we will bring it up with His Majesty at the end of the year."

"Yes, my daughter won't tell people."

Qian Shang also had nothing to say, when Piao Shu brought the tea cakes, the little eunuch took the box and sent him out of the palace.

Qian Yuemo sat on the first seat and did not speak.

Piao Shu thought for a while, then said: "Lady, the servant girl heard it outside just now."

"Ok?"

"Miss, our husband is too unreasonable..."

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to read, and Qian Shang is a qualified prime minister, and he did urge her to study, which gave her a lot of knowledge.But he was indeed not a qualified father and husband, and his mother was also angered by many concubines.If it weren't for his mother's noble status and her family's powerful family, she would be able to do things herself, and she wouldn't be able to manage the Qian family in an orderly manner.

Piaoshu came with her from her natal family, so she naturally knows how the family is doing.

Piaoshu sighed again: "My husband doesn't help my lady, she is not pregnant with a prince yet. My husband wants to persuade His Majesty to choose another talent."

Qian Yuemo smiled meaninglessly, when she first entered the palace, her father taught her not to compete for favor.For some reason, her father didn't want to see her favored.She didn't know very well, maybe her father was afraid that she would be envied by being favored too much?

No matter how many concubines she chooses to come in, she has nothing to worry about.The friendship between her and His Majesty cannot be replaced by any random person.She wasn't jealous either, they were already close friends.

She was worried about the young gentleman.

He dares to kiss His Majesty!

If he knew that His Majesty was going to be drafted, wouldn't he have to break up the harem?

Now he is living back in the palace again!

She doesn't go to Funing Hall very much these days.

She looked at it secretly, this time, this young gentleman lived in, so he probably didn't want to go out again.She is in charge of the harem, she is really afraid that a few more concubines will come in, and that little gentleman will go crazy, what will she do then?

Qian Yuemo died of sorrow, but unfortunately, no one could understand her sorrow.

No matter how anxious Qian Yuemo was, Qian Shang met Zhao Shiqi again on the palace road.

When Zhao Shiqi saw him, he thought of Qian Yuemo, so he didn't look good, but stopped anyway.

Qian Shang's way of being an official has long been practiced like a fire, so he was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Is Eleven Lord going out of the palace?"

"Exactly."

Look at the appearance of cherishing words like gold, and the money merchant is not disgusted, so he stretches out his hand: "Please, Mr. Eleven."

At any rate, Qian Shang is a prime minister under one person, a serious second-rank official, if he wants to walk ahead of Qian Shang, if people see him, they will say that he doesn't understand the rules, and then they will say that Zhao Cong is used to him.

He was not stupid, but said: "Mr. Qian please."

The money merchant was very useful, so he left the palace first with a smile.

Zhao Shiqi felt that Qian Shang was also very interesting. Du Yu could not hold back his disciples even after he had cultivated so well. Does a person like Qian Shang who has a clear mind have no idea in private?When Zhao Cong was in decline, he was able to send his daughter to the palace, and he could also seize the opportunity to build a relationship with Zhao Cong. Such a sensitive person should not be so honest, there is no trace of blemish.

Which of his sons is not in an important position?

He lowered his head, smiled to himself, and decided to find someone to keep an eye on Qian Shang as well.

The more ok people are, the more problems they have.

After Zhao Shiqi left the palace, he rushed to make arrangements, remembering Zhao Cong's words, he had to rush back to the palace for dinner.

He met Mu Fu at home, although Mu Fu didn't know that he was born again, but he had done various things for him for more than ten years, and he knew that their husband was for the throne.Now seeing him wearing a sixth-rank official robe and still being so happy, he felt a little uncomfortable.

After Zhao Shiqi explained the matter, seeing him like this, he asked curiously, "Uncle Mu?"

Mu Fu said in a low voice: "The little one said it, I'm afraid Sanlang will blame him. But there are some things that the little one can't vomit quickly."

"You said."

"We have been planning for many years, and we only need to wear green official robes? Sanlang, I am not reconciled. You should be above ten thousand people, why should you be like this? We are not incompetent! The current emperor is kind to you, and treats you That's right, you can ascend the throne in the future and just treat him leniently, why is that so?!"

Zhao Shiqi was silent.

"If he really treats you well, why does he only give you a sixth-rank official position? He is still guarding against you!"

"Uncle Mu." Zhao Shiqi said seriously.

Mu Fu looked up at him, his eyes were red.

Zhao Shiqi also sighed, it was Uncle Mu who protected his mother all the way during the most difficult time.In the previous life, after ascending the throne, Mu Fu traveled across mountains and rivers to come back to find him.He slowed down his voice: "I want this official position myself. He originally wanted me to go to Shangshu Province, but I don't want to."

"Sanlang?" Mu Fu was puzzled.

Zhao Shiqi didn't know how to explain it to Mu Fu. It took him five years to understand such an emotion, so how could Mu Fu understand it?Such a feeling, no one can understand whoever it is told to.

After a lifetime, after so much hatred and resentment, and human blood and bones, he actually made such a choice.

No one can understand.

But no problem.

As long as he can understand it himself.

He just found what he really wanted.

This reassures him.

He couldn't explain it, and only said to Mu Fu: "He really treats me very well. Whether it's a sixth-rank official position or these things I do, he always consults my opinions in advance. Even in many political affairs, he only cares about me. Talk to me. Uncle Mu, the matter of the throne is over."

"Sauro-"

"No need to be sorry, I admire him very much, and you need to treat him like you treat me in the future."

"Alas!" Mu Fu sighed, "Your young man will act according to what your lord says, he is indeed a good emperor, the little one is just not willing to take care of your lord. If you ascend to a high position, you will do no worse than him."

"That's not necessarily true." Zhao Shiqi smiled, he died within a few days of being the emperor in his previous life, and he couldn't even tame the personal maids and eunuchs.

In terms of winning over people's hearts, he is simply not comparable to Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong was able to win over even his heart of stone, and he did it unintentionally.

Kneeling Zhao Cong, he was so convinced.

Mu Fu knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say anything anymore, he just said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will personally bring someone to watch the censor. As for Mr. Qian, the money merchant, you can also rest assured, Mr. Yu has several people who are quite capable. Reading, just came in handy."

Zhao Shiqi nodded, and said again: "Mu Yin will be released soon."

Mu Fu smiled: "That kid is stupid, he deserves to be imprisoned. But the officials are really soft-hearted, even if it is like this, they can still spare him."

Praise Zhao Cong, Zhao Shiqi smiled and nodded.Mu Fu didn't say much anymore, turned around and left.

Now that the Zhao Mansion is established, there are people who come to visit, not to mention Zhao Shiqi's status is not vulgar, and most of them come to deliver posts or gift slips.

After Mu Fu left, Yin Mo came in and told him some important matters.

Zhao Shibing picked out some important gift lists and looked at them, then asked Yin Mo how to deal with them.Yin Mo had a lot of experience and handled everything properly, Zhao Shiqi was very relieved.

Yan Mo said at the end: "Sanlang, Prince Wei also sent someone here once."

"What's the matter?"

"He expects you to go to the county prince's mansion to meet him, saying that he has something to talk to you about."

Zhao Shiqi sneered, go dreaming, what can Zhao Congde's brain say?

"But it happened last month. He hasn't sent anyone since you came back from Hangzhou."

He almost got into a fight with Zhao Congde in the palace last time, Zhao Congde still has the face to come to him?It's just that he also knows that Zhao Congde is busy going to Baoci Hall now.Can the Empress Dowager Sun still listen to his coaxing?If you listen to him coaxing again, the Empress Dowager Sun deserves it if she ends up badly.

From the last life until their death, the "good things" of these two people were not revealed.

Zhao Shiqi smiled, showing a little bit of white teeth. In this life, he let them feel what it means to be famous all over the world.

After finishing talking, Zhao Shiqi was ready to return to the palace.

Yan Mo hurriedly said: "The servant girl's wontons are all wrapped! Eight flavors have been wrapped!"

"Bring it quickly."

Zhao Cong likes small wontons in Hangzhou, which are rare in Kaifeng, and some people in the imperial dining room in the palace can make them.But this time he also brought female envoys from Hangzhou, all of whom were born and bred in Hangzhou, and the small wontons wrapped were authentic.Zhao Shiqi had already sent someone to prepare. He came back today and just took it away.

Yan Mo put all the small wontons in the box, handed them to the eunuch behind Zhao Shiqi, and said with a smile: "I divided them into eight compartments and placed them in eight compartments, and the gentleman took them back. Sister Rantao who is in front of your majesty knows how to cook them, and so does Chaxi. You can eat it at night! Come back quickly!"

Zhao Shiqi also smiled: "Take care of the house."

"Yes!" Yan Mo sent him outside the door, her face was also full of joy.She is not as reconciled as Mu Fu, as long as the lady and Saburo live comfortably, she is satisfied.

The house is very close to the palace, and Zhao Shiqi didn't ride a horse, but just walked towards the palace.

Sure enough, Zhao Cong guessed right again, such a handsome man who makes even today's emperor flustered, attracted the attention of many girls all the way.There was already a shop on Yujie, and it was very lively.Without squinting, Zhao Shiqi went straight to the palace.

Official robes are already eye-catching, and his appearance is even more eye-catching.

From one of the shops, a lady came out in a hurry, and the maid behind her was also very excited, and whispered: "Third lady, it really is that gentleman! This time he is wearing an official robe! He is even more handsome! "

The girl was also excited, but she was still able to hold on, only holding the handkerchief in her hand, and stared closely at Zhao Shiqi's back.

"Third lady, you really have a destiny with this gentleman. If he is not a member of the royal family, how wonderful it would be!"

The third lady bit her lower lip, and said in a low voice: "He is wearing an official uniform, and he is so young, if people inquire, I am afraid that he will be able to find out his identity?"

The maid thought about it for a while, and whispered: "Third lady, what can I do if I inquire about it?" With their identities, even if they can really climb up to the royal family, unless they are down-and-out, they can barely be married.But this one looks very energetic and looks very useful. The third lady can't be the main wife, and I'm afraid she can't even be a concubine.She has heard that if one is the prince of the prince's mansion, even the concubine must be the daughter of a scholar's family. Maybe this is the prince of the county prince's mansion.Apart from this identity, what else does their family have?How can you send a pampered girl to be a concubine?

The third lady frowned, and said in a mournful voice, "It's just an inquiry."

The maid couldn't bear it, and nodded: "Don't worry, third lady, the maid sent someone to inquire. There are several teahouses on the West Street who specialize in this kind of business."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Without knowing it, Zhao Shiqi happened to walk to the gate of the palace. He couldn't help showing a little smile, took the food box from the eunuch, carried it himself, and walked into the Donghua Gate.
