Funing Hall

When Zhao Shiqi went out of the palace alone, he didn't go back to his house. He went directly to the tea house of Yuan's family, and two young eunuchs accompanied him out of the palace.Yuan's tea house is far away from the imperial palace, so he rides a horse.When the eunuchs guarding the gate of Donghua Gate saw him coming out, they all smiled so that their eyes narrowed into a line, and saluted him.

Zhao Shiqi touched his body, although he wore a purse, both Yin Mo and Cha Xi liked to sew it for him.But there is no money in the purse, only the clothes look good, and they are all given to him by the maids when they dress him.He never offered rewards in person, but now seeing these eunuchs like this, he thought that he should have some preparations on his body.

Usually he never cared about these things, he has a very bad temper, after being too cowardly in his previous life, he can only be arrogant and look down on everyone in the world, let alone these little eunuchs.He is now under the influence of Zhao Cong, and he is also in good spirits on happy occasions.

He got on his horse, turned around and said with a smile: "Next time I will reward you with silver."

The eunuchs rushed to salute him, how could they count on his reward?Hearing his words, everyone was frightened. Ben Du got up and knelt down again.Zhao Shiqi had already rode far away, and they looked at each other, feeling that this gentleman's temperament had changed a bit, when had they seen his smile!

In good spirits, Zhao Shiqi rode on the horse, smiling all the way.

Laughing again caught many people's eyes. Zhao Shiqi was favored by His Majesty in the first place, and he is a good husband-in-law that everyone in Beijing wants to grab.There is no empress in the palace, and the empress dowager cannot be liked by His Majesty, and it was not easy for those wives to enter the palace to find someone to talk about in the past.After the incident in Luoyang, some people couldn't bear it any longer and sent a post to the palace to meet Concubine Qian Shu.

Zhao Shiqi didn't know this yet, so he went to the backyard of Yuan's Tea House and asked the shopkeeper, "There have been a lot of rumors about His Majesty recently, but someone came to see you?"

The shopkeeper said: "Our teahouse is the largest and most magnificent in Tokyo, so we have it. A few days ago, someone offered a high price and wanted some storytellers to come to our teahouse, but I returned it. The man looked quite In order to be calm, at least he is the chief steward of the mansion, but from the meaning of his words, he seems to be sent by the prince of Weijun."

Zhao Shiqi laughed: "How can he have such a brain." He really didn't mean to laugh at Zhao Congde, but Zhao Congde lived two lifetimes and thought he was playing tricks on others, but he didn't know that he was the one who got played the worst.

The shopkeeper also laughed: "I also feel the same way, how can it be so obvious that he is Zhao Shizi's man? Sir, you don't know, the man's words are very open, and he said directly that if it is for them If you do something, your son will be rewarded."

Zhao Shiqi just smiled and asked again: "Are there any weird people in the teahouse these days?"

"There are often foreign businessmen in the city of Tokyo. It's not very strange for a small one to look at them like this."

"If there are people from Xixia coming to the teahouse again, you should keep an eye on them and write down the number of times, the number of people they come and their general appearance."

"Yes." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he pulled out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This letter was sent by shopkeeper Mu a few days ago, and I told you to hand it over to you personally, and I just got to see you today."

Mu Fu personally led someone to watch Du Cheng with Zhao Cong's bodyguards, Zhao Cong had read the letter sent back, and he had read it too.Since this is a private letter, what I want to talk about is naturally not about Du Cheng.He opened it to read, and found that the letter was about private soldiers.They have long stopped recruiting, but there are still people who recommend themselves and are willing to join them.

Mu Fu asked him how to deal with them. These people are not a small number. What Mu Fuxin meant was that it would be better to accept them.Zhao Shiqi frowned slightly, and stuffed the letter back into the envelope, hesitating in his heart.

There are really a lot of private salt dealers on Liangzhe Road. During the five years he was incorporated, the Liangzhe Road Salt Farm was well behaved, and the officials of the salt farm were even praised by the Beijing Central Committee for this.They didn't know it at all, it was all because of bandits or private salt dealers, they were all taken away by Zhao Shiqi, so naturally it was peaceful.

It is precisely this point that Zhao Shiqi hesitated. If the private salt dealers are allowed to do so, then everything will be wrong.Liangzhe Road and Huainan East Road are both major salt producers, and they have been involved in the whole body. Huainan East Road has been involved in so many things that time, and the people behind the scenes have not caught up yet.

If there is another accident on Liangzhe Road, it will still be Zhao Cong who is upset.

When it comes to Huainan East Road, he still doesn't understand why Yang Yuan hides those ordinary things so tightly. Inside are just books, gold ingots and cloth, which don't look special.

Zhao Shiqi raised his eyebrows, raised his eyebrows again, and made a decision in his heart.

He got up to leave, and then said to the shopkeeper: "If you need me urgently in the future, go directly to my house to find Yan Mo, and she will send someone to bring me a letter."

"Yes, I haven't congratulated Mr. Lang yet." The shopkeeper smiled and gave him a big gift.

Zhao Shiqi pulled his lips and smiled, he didn't need to be too careful about such an unfamiliar person as the shopkeeper.He lifted his feet and walked out, then turned back and said: "Autumn is approaching, and the city will be lively again. There are people coming and going in the teahouse. Look carefully. If there are people with good craftsmanship, no matter what the craftsmanship, please tell me." Know."

"Craftsman? Sir, all those who take the scientific examination are scholars."

This is not necessarily the case, the number one scholar Lang is obviously also a scholar, but he knows that craft.Besides, how does an ordinary craftsman know such a craft?It must be those who often deal with books that can study it.

There is no need to be afraid of the number one scholar with the surname Yi, but Zhao Shiqi hates him inexplicably. It is not because of his so-called printing skills that Zhao Cong can reuse him.Zhao Shiqi still doesn't believe it. In the whole world, he is the only one who knows that skill?

Si Lang and him occasionally exchanged letters, but mentioned Yi Yu. Si Lang is a gentleman, and he didn't say that Yi Yu was bad, but just joked that he had worked with Yi Yu for many years, and he still only knew the shape of the printing technique, but not the truth. Book.

Yi Yu obviously wanted to use this technology to reach the sky, so that he could climb up, so he hid it from others.

Si Lang is a gentleman, so don't fight with him.

Zhao Shiqi wanted to stop this person, Zhao Cong could only have one wolf by his side, and he was the only wolf who would treat Zhao Cong without any selfishness.

Zhao Shiqi hated the way Yi Yu looked at Zhao Cong, he hated this kind of miscellaneous wolf protruding from nowhere.

When he finds someone who can replace him, he needs to find an opportunity to kill this person in order to feel at ease.

Zhao Shiqi thought about this in his heart, but his face was not ferocious, but still elegant.From the heart, the former Zhao Shiqi was handsome, but scary, and always dressed in black, because he was depressed, violent, and puzzled.At this time, his insides are hard to change, but after all he is kind because of Zhao Cong, especially now that he always wears sky blue clothes, he looks a little less gloomy and more clear.

After he left the Yuanjia teahouse, he went to the Zhao Mansion to explain the matter to Yan Mo.

During the Qiuwei period, students from all over the country gathered in the state capital, and he sent people to look for them everywhere. If he couldn't do it in one year, in two or three years, he could always find someone who knew the printing technology.

After Yin Mo listened, although he didn't understand, he responded one by one.

Zhao Shiqi asked again: "The people who went to Xixia haven't returned yet?"

"Not yet, but there was a letter the day before yesterday, and I will be back after the Dragon Boat Festival." After Yan Mo said, he said, "Mr. There are always letters for you to deal with yourself."

Zhao Shiqi nodded, he didn't know that "feeling" was like this before.

It seems that there is only one word, one stroke and one stroke, and it is not difficult to write.It's just that even after he touched it, he didn't consciously sink into it.

He said: "Now that I have taken care of myself, I will come back often."

"Yes." Yan Mo wanted to talk about the Lin Mansion who often sent posts, Zhao Shiqi had already got up to go back to the palace, so she had no choice but to take back the words, and hurriedly handed him the wrapped wontons, and sent him out of the mansion.

Two days later it was the day to watch the water battle at the Dragon Boat Festival. Many people came to watch the battle. After the incident in Luoyang, the officials of the DPRK and China were a little panicked about this matter.After all, this time, there were several times more people present than the students in Luoyang.But this matter has been decided long ago, and it cannot be stopped temporarily.

Zhao Shiqi returned to the palace and went to Chongzheng Hall, where they were discussing this matter.

Seeing him coming, the officials present saluted him one after another, he waved his hand indifferently, sat beside Zhao Cong naturally, and said to them: "My lords, don't take care of me."

The Minister of Taichang Temple said: "The minister is reporting the water battle to His Majesty, and he is talking about how to ensure the safety of Jinming Lake."

Zhao Shiqi glanced at Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong nodded with a smile, and then he said: "At the gate of the city, at the gate of the government office, and many other places, put up notices prohibiting the people watching the battle from bringing anything into the Jinming Pool. Wait until the Dragon Boat Festival On that day, early in the day, people were sent to surround the guardrail outside, and the people could only enter through the south gate of Jinming Lake. Anyone who came in had to be checked one by one. Besides, when watching the battle in the past, His Majesty led the officials to stand on the water bridge It is close to the people, but not very safe. This time, it is better to move to Baojin Tower, which is in the middle of the water and high. It is convenient for His Majesty to watch the battle, and it is guaranteed that no one can reach it." Can't float upstairs.

The Minister of Taichang Temple nodded: "The Eleventh Lord's previous idea, I have thought of it. I moved to Baojin Tower, but I didn't expect it. It's just where to watch the battle. There are always rules. This—"

Zhao Shiqi raised his eyebrows, he was completely obedient to the rules!

Zhao Cong didn't say much, seeing that His Majesty didn't speak, the Minister of Taichang Temple knew that His Majesty was in favor of the Eleventh Prince. He thought about how much His Majesty had changed the rules of his ancestors, came back to his senses, and responded with a salute: I know how to do it." He checked with Zhao Cong about the day's events, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he turned and left with the rest of the people.

After the man left, Zhao Cong was about to pour tea for him, but Zhao Shiqi leaned sideways on Zhao Cong, his chin stuck on Zhao Cong's shoulder, and said softly, "Your Majesty—"

Zhao Cong smiled: "Talk well, come to see me for something important?"

"Your Majesty, Jinming Pond has a beautiful view. After watching the water battle, can you stay there for a few days?"

Zhao Cong nodded: "I can do it myself." Jinming Pond is a royal garden, although it is outside the city, it is quick to go back and forth, even if there are important political affairs to be dealt with, it is cheap, not to mention that the Dragon Boat Festival is a day off for bathing.

"Shall I go to Jinming Pond again tomorrow with Taichang Siqing?"

"You want to play by yourself, right?" Zhao Cong said affectionately.

"No, I have to go and see it myself before letting your majesty go."

Zhao Cong looked back at him, reached out and tapped the corner of his mouth: "Why is the mouth so sweet?"

Zhao Shiqi took his hand and kissed him, Zhao Cong's fingertips went numb, Zhao Shiqi smiled, then let go of Zhao Cong's hand, stood up and said, "I'll go back to Funing Palace first, Your Majesty is busy with political affairs. stop!"

Run away after teasing?

Zhao Cong was funny, but there were many officials lining up outside to see him, so he could only nod his head.

"Your Majesty, come back earlier. I brought some wontons from outside the palace to eat together." Zhao Shiqi walked to the door, turned around and smiled at him.After laughing and talking, without waiting for Zhao Cong to reply, Zhao Shiqi walked away with joyful steps.

Zhao Cong lowered his head and smiled again, Zhao Shiqi came to gag for such a short time, his tiredness dissipated immediately.

Zhao Shiqi was indeed a little excited. He proposed to stay in Jinmingchi for a few more days because he had other ideas.

Now that he has taken good care of his body, Jinming Pond has a beautiful scenery, which is suitable for doing some things.

Besides, Dragon Boat Festival is an important day for him and Zhao Cong.
