Little Dandy, He's a Little Good
Chapter 64
Rong Zhuo said that he wanted to watch the year, but after sitting on the low couch for a while, he began to doze off.
When he was sleepy, his head nodded, like a kitten kidnapped by sleepiness, he looked obedient and cute.
Yu Jingdu sat not far away and looked at him. Seeing the young man's beautiful eyes gradually becoming blurred, his eyelids looked like a door that was about to close. After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up struggling and closed them completely. ,
After a while, Rong Zhuo lay motionless on the low couch.
After his breathing gradually became even, Yu Jingdu got up, went to the low couch and squatted down.
A charcoal basin was lit in the hall, which was quite warm.
After Rong Zhuo fell asleep, his fair face was slightly reddish, looking very attractive.
Yu Jingdu raised his hand and caressed his face, and slowly lowered his thumb, pressing it on the young man's beautiful thin lips.
The thin calluses on his fingertips slowly brushed against his lips, making Rong Zhuo itchy slightly, he unconsciously pursed his lips, and then stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick his lips.
Rong Zhuo's warm tongue quickly rubbed against Jing Du's fingertips, causing his blood to surge up, his heart seemed to be bewitched, and he was vaguely about to lose control.
Yu Jingdu didn't dare to let the longing in his heart continue to spread, so he hurriedly restrained his emotions, slowly picked up the boy from the low couch, and put him back on his own couch.He lightly helped Rong Zhuo take off his robe, for fear of waking him up.
Probably because it was a little cold under the quilt, Rong Zhuo frowned and turned over, holding Yu Jingdu's arm in one hand without letting go, treating him like a human-shaped heater.Yu Jingdu had no choice but to take off his outer robe and get under the quilt, offering to help him warm the quilt.
Rong Zhuo felt that there was something warm beside him, so he moved closer to him, unconsciously rubbing his hands and feet, trying to find a comfortable position.
Yu Jingdu put his arms around his rubbing hands, and trapped him in his arms, but the person in his arms was obedient, and soon stopped moving, his head resting on his neck, and fell asleep contentedly again.
However, Yu Jingdu soon found out that the person in his arms was not moving, but the scrambling in his heart did not stop.
Holding the person Xiao had wanted for a long time in his arms, his breath was filled with the familiar light fragrance of the other party, and even the boy's even breath falling on the side of his neck seemed to be some kind of provocation.
Yu Jingdu sighed, feeling very helpless for a part of his body that was out of control.
He rubbed his chin on the top of Rong Zhuo's fluffy hair, and then kissed it again.
Then, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in his heart...
As if possessed by a demon, Yu Jingdu slowly raised Rong Zhuo's head with one hand, and pressed his own forehead against the young man's.
He thought that he might be able to secretly relieve himself by the boy's side.
Even just looking at each other and listening to the shallow breathing is a great satisfaction for him.
The tips of their noses touched and their breaths intertwined, giving Yu Jingdu the illusion that they were kissing.
His breathing gradually became messy, almost uncontrollable.
But soon, he felt a strong sense of guilt again.
Rong Zhuo was too clean, as clean as a piece of white paper, without any ink on it.
Such a clean and pure person should not be treated like this by him.
Yu Jingdu seemed to wake up suddenly, lifted the quilt, got up and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
Rong Zhuo didn't know anything about this, he turned over and didn't touch his human-shaped heater, so he could only continue to sleep in the place where the other person's body temperature hadn't faded.
As for Yu Jingdu, the cold wind blew outside for a long time.
In the second half of the night, he didn't dare to go back to sleep.
He secretly thought, there is too much eyeliner in the capital, so it's not good to be too presumptuous.
After leaving the capital, no matter what he said, he had to let the little dude know what he was thinking.
Otherwise, if this continues, he will go crazy sooner or later...
Early the next morning, Li Feng came to report that Rong Qinghuai had been brought back.
Yu Jingdu's eyes were black and blue, he looked like a beast that was suffocating but had nowhere to vent.
"Understood." Yu Jingdu said lightly.
"Master Rong is outside the hall, and he said he wanted to wish you a new year." Li Feng said.
Yu Jingdu was silent for a while, glanced at the direction of the inner hall, and said, "Let him in."
Hearing this, Li Feng went out and invited people in. When Rong Qinghuai saw Jing Du, he hurriedly bowed to him and said some auspicious words.
"Master Rong, sit down and have a cup of tea." Yu Jingdu returned the salute to him with a very polite attitude.
Rong Qinghuai didn't doubt that he was there, so he sat down on the opposite side of the tea table.
"Rong Zhuo hasn't woken up yet. I watched the New Year's Eve until midnight last night, and I'm tired." Yu Jingdu seemed to have no intention of saying.
Rong Qinghuai sensed something strange from what he said for no reason, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Maybe it's the phrase "I haven't gotten up yet", or maybe it's the phrase "Last night watching the New Year's Eve until midnight", in short, it feels a bit strange when I hear it.
"Did Li Feng mention what happened last night to Lord Rong?" Yu Jingdu asked.
"General Li mentioned a few words." Rong Qinghuai said: "Your Highness is really good at planning, this time His Majesty must be very disappointed with the Crown Prince."
Yu Jingdu poured tea for him, and said calmly, "My king will leave for Yuzhou in a few days."
"Your Highness has finally decided to go..." Rong Qinghuai didn't seem surprised by his decision.
The last time he reminded the other party to hide was out of his judgment.
But he also knew that His Royal Highness Yan Wang was not a person who would listen to others.
If Yu Jingdu wants to do something, no amount of persuasion by others will help.
"Your Excellency must have imagined the situation in Yuzhou. If the king doesn't go, who else can go?" Yu Jingdu said: "It's not easy to send another idiot to mess things up. It's not the one who will suffer then." You and I, but the people of Yuzhou."
Rong Qinghuai was quite moved when he heard the words, "What His Highness said is very true, but the lower officials are narrow-minded."
"However, there is something I need to discuss with Mr. Rong this time." Yu Jingdu said.
"Your Highness, it's okay to say."
"This king wants to take Xiao Zhuo to Yuzhou together."
Rong Qinghuai was startled, the first reaction was why His Royal Highness Yan Wang suddenly called Rong Zhuo "Xiao Zhuo", and the second reaction was, why did His Royal Highness Yan Wang take Rong Zhuo with him?
"Why does Your Highness...have such a plan?" Rong Qinghuai asked, holding back his suspicions.
"Don't worry about him staying in the capital." Yu Jingdu said, "Besides, I'm going to Yuzhou now, and I'm afraid I'll have to stay for a while."
Rong Qinghuai frowned and pondered for a while, but he always felt that Yu Jingdu's words had unfinished meaning.
Especially the sentence that I'm afraid it will take a while, he doesn't understand what it has to do with Rong Zhuo?
Didn't His Royal Highness Yan Wang stay at the border for several years?
What's so special about going to Yuzhou to stay longer?
"Your Highness..." Rong Qinghuai had seen the storm after all, he had many questions in his mind, but his tone was very calm when he spoke, "It's not that the lower officials made things difficult for Your Highness, it's just that there are many variables in the trip to Yuzhou, and the dog is not a martial artist I don't know anything about the military, so I'm afraid I can't help His Highness?"
"Master Rong is afraid that he will be in danger?" Yu Jingdu said: "Then I have to remind Lord Rong that once I leave the capital for too long, the capital may be more dangerous to him than Yuzhou."
Yu Jingdu's words were actually a bit alarmist, but when Rong Qinghuai heard the words, he couldn't help thinking of the time when he sent Rong Zhuo's mother and son out of Beijing.At that time, if it wasn't for Rong Zhuo's cleverness, their family didn't know if they would be able to reunite.
Thinking about it this way, Yu Jingdu's words are not unreasonable.
If someone stays in the capital, if there is an emergency, he will not be able to protect him.
Just when Rong Qinghuai was hesitating, there was a sudden rustling from the inner hall.
Not long after, Rong Zhuo in pajamas came out from behind the screen rubbing his eyes.
The young man should have just woken up, his eyes were still a bit dazed, he was startled when he saw Rong Qinghuai, "Father, are you back?"
Before he could wake up, Yu Jingdu turned his head and said softly, "Go and wash your face first, and let them bring breakfast over later."
"Okay." Rong Zhuo sniffed, then obediently turned around and followed the servants of the palace to wash up.
Looking at his son's back, Rong Qinghuai changed his expression several times, and finally settled on a very uncomfortable expression.
It's not that he has never heard of his son's "feat" in Hualou before, and he has also heard the rumors about Rong Zhuo's masculinity.But before, he had been preoccupied with life-and-death matters, and he had no time to care whether his son liked men or women.
But he never thought that Rong Zhuo could get together with His Highness Yan Wang.
Rong Zhuo came down from the other party's bed in disheveled clothes early in the morning, and His Royal Highness Yan Wang said such thought-provoking words again, no one could help but be wrong!
In this way, many of Rong Qinghuai's previous doubts were resolved.
He had asked Rong Zhuo before why he wanted to get involved in the matter of King Yan. After all, it was a matter of blatantly going against the prince. If King Yan lost in the end, it would be considered a lost cause.
But Rong Zhuo didn't speak directly to him at that time.
Now Rong Qinghuai understands, if the two of them have reached this point, then it makes sense.
"Master Rong, the matter has come to this point, you and I have no way out." Yu Jingdu said, "Whether it's this king or Rong Zhuo, we can only go forward, don't you think so?"
Rong Qinghuai looked at him meaningfully, but did not respond for a long time.
What else can he say?Rong Zhuo obviously went in all the time, losing his wealth and life.
Among other things, based on the relationship between the two of them alone, once Yu Jingdu left, Rong Zhuo would become the prince's handle to control the banquet king.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed safer for Rong Zhuo to follow Yu Jingdu.
As for Rong Qinghuai, no matter whether he is unhappy or opposed, it is impossible to turn against Yu Jingdu at this juncture.
Because the crown prince has not yet been abolished, the centipede is dead but not stiff...
They can't offend the prince with their front feet, and then turn against the king of banquets with their back feet.
In other words, even if he wanted to object, he had to wait until the dust settled.
"He has no fame, and he doesn't know how to serve in the army." Rong Qinghuai said: "Your Highness wants to take him, so you have to give His Majesty a reason?"
"Master Rong, don't worry, this king has already thought about it." Yu Jingdu said: "Before this king ordered people to investigate the case in Yuzhou, Rong Zhuo once proposed to ask his uncle's caravan to assist. The emperor didn't know about this matter. I will use this excuse to convince my father to let me go to Yuzhou with Rong Zhuo."
After all, the matter of the private barracks is too complicated, as long as Yu Jingdu puts forward a well-founded reason, the emperor will definitely agree.
Coupled with what happened last night, the emperor should no longer suspect that Yu Jingdu had selfish intentions.
"I will tell my father that this matter was brought up by Lord Rong, so that my father will think that Lord Rong wants to make meritorious service on this matter." Yu Jingdu said: "I hope Lord Rong will forgive me."
Rong Qinghuai sighed and said: "It doesn't matter what your Highness says, I just hope that His Highness can bring the dog back safe and sound."
"Master Rong, don't worry." Yu Jingdu didn't give him any verbal promise, he just got up and saluted him seriously.
Rong Qinghuai got up and saluted him back, then turned and left.
However, just as he took a few steps, he stopped again.
"May I ask His Royal Highness the Banquet King one thing." Rong Qinghuai said with a sad expression, "When the matter is over..."
"Lord Rong." Yu Jingdu suddenly interrupted him and said, "This king knows what you want to say. I'm sorry I can't promise you this matter, but you can rest assured that after the matter is over, I can let him choose. If he If he wants to leave, I have nothing to say. But if he doesn't want to leave, no one can force him."
When Yu Jingdu said this, his eyes carried a bit of pressure that could not be discussed.
"But in the future..." Rong Qinghuai said, "How do you let him deal with himself... Is he competing for favor with a bunch of women?"
"Master Rong." Yu Jingdu was silent for a moment, "No matter what I say now, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease, why don't you wait until that day to see? Show off the majesty of being an elder."
In his last sentence, he cleverly changed the address, using words like "junior" and "elder".
Rong Qinghuai is a smart person, so he naturally understood what he meant.
It's just that at this moment, just like what Yu Jingdu said, no matter what he said, Rong Qinghuai couldn't feel at ease.
After Rong Zhuo finished washing and came out, Rong Qinghuai had already left.
He didn't think much about it, he just thought that his father's visit was just to pay New Year's greetings to the master's house as usual.
After all, their father and son live in Yanwang Mansion, and it is always a courtesy to come to greet them on the first day of the new year.
"Your father agreed to your going to Yuzhou." Yu Jingdu said casually.
Rong Zhuo was taken aback, "He didn't say anything?"
"Let me take good care of you." Yu Jingdu said.
Rong Zhuo didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, he was completely awake now, he felt a little embarrassed when he remembered what happened last night, "I fell asleep last night, did you disturb His Highness's rest?"
"No." Yu Jingdu smiled lightly, "It's not like I didn't sleep in a bed before, so there's nothing to disturb."
Rong Zhuo looked at the smear of black under his eyes, and thought to himself that it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night.
"If you encounter such a situation in the future, His Highness will wake me up." Rong Zhuo said.
"When I go to Yuzhou in the future, I'm afraid there will be no distinction between each other, so there's no need to worry about so much." Yu Jingdu said calmly, "Let's have breakfast first, and I'll send you back to your residence later, and pay homage to your mother." Year."
When Rong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly remembered that Yu Jingdu's mother passed away when the other party was a teenager, so he should miss her very much, right?
Thinking of this, Rong Zhuo said: "What is Your Highness doing today? Are you also busy on New Year's Day?"
"You really guessed it right." Yu Jingdu ordered someone to bring breakfast, and while eating breakfast with Rong Zhuo, he said: "I'm going to Yuzhou, I'm busy these days. If you feel bored in the mansion, I'll ask Li Feng to take you out for a walk."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Rong Zhuo asked.
Yu Jingdu was startled, apparently he did not expect him to ask such a question.
He originally wanted to tell Rong Zhuo not to worry about these things, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind, "If you don't find it boring, you can stay with me, but I'll go back to the house and pay New Year's greetings to your mother first."
"Okay." Hearing this, Rong Zhuo hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, then hurried back to his room to change clothes.
After breakfast, Yu Jingdu asked someone to send Rong Zhuo back to the Rong Mansion, and asked someone to prepare some gifts to take with him.
Rong Zhuo came back at noon, and brought spring rolls made by Rong's mother.
Yu Jingdu was at the desk, holding a document in one hand, and writing something with a pen in the other.
"Your Highness, my mother told you to have a taste." Rong Zhuo opened the food box, and placed the spring rolls in front of Yu Jingdu.
Yu Jingdu raised his eyes, and secretly thought that Rong's mother was quite caring.
"Okay, I'll eat later." Yu Jingdu smiled at him, then turned to Li Feng beside him and said, "This lieutenant general surnamed Liu in the Yuzhou camp, did you contact him when you went to Yuzhou last time?"
"Yes." Li Feng said hastily: "The Yuzhou camp has His Majesty's imperial decree, so it should be no problem for them to cooperate."
"Well, what needs to be considered now is the extreme situation." Yu Jingdu said: "If there is a real fight, the Yuzhou camp may not be enough."
As Yu Jingdu spoke, he raised his head and found that Rong Zhuo was still standing aside, looking at him eagerly.
"The spring rolls are getting cold." Rong Zhuo whispered.
Yu Jingdu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've got all my hands, why don't you feed me?"
Hearing this, Rong Zhuo hurriedly trotted to find a pair of chopsticks and came back.
Yu Jingdu looked at the chopsticks in his hand with a slightly disappointed expression.
"Come." Rong Zhuo put a spring roll to his mouth, Yu Jingdu took a bite awkwardly, and commented: "Tell Mrs. Rong, the spring roll tastes good." Rong Zhuo smiled and took the rest Half was delivered to his mouth again.
"These two state capitals are not too far from Yuzhou. If you need to transfer troops for city defense, you should be there in two or three days." Li Feng said.
Yu Jingdu took another bite of the spring rolls that Rong Zhuo handed over, shook his head and said: "Although the soldiers in the city defense can be dispatched without a soldier talisman, if it is not a last resort, we should not consider the issue of dispatching troops, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the emperor." .”
Rong Zhuo listened intently, and asked, "Don't His Majesty already trust His Highness? Why do you still suspect you?"
"Trust is temporary, and suspicion is at any time." Yu Jingdu looked up, and saw the young man holding a spring roll to his lips and biting it.
After noticing Yu Jingdu's gaze, Rong Zhuo felt a little guilty, and hurriedly handed the remaining half of the chopsticks to Yu Jingdu's mouth.
He was purely looking at Yu Jingdu's delicious food just now, but after being seen by the other party, he felt embarrassed and completely forgot that he had bitten half of what he sent over.
Yu Jingdu seemed to be afraid that he would react, and quickly took away the half-bitten spring roll.
Li Feng, who was about to remind him, watched his Highness eagerly swallow the spring rolls that Young Master Rong ate, and seemed quite content with his expression.
He really doesn't understand...
"Cough!" Yu Jingdu ate too hastily, almost choking on himself. Afterwards, he patiently explained to Rong Zhuo: "He has sat in that seat for too long, and he has learned from the prince's past, so he is not good at me. His trust will definitely not last long. Besides, I have led soldiers, if he knows that I dispatched the city defense battalion near Yuzhou at will, he might be suspicious of me."
Rong Zhuo nodded, thinking that if you become an emperor in the future, don't be like your father!
"Then you can't transfer troops, can you ask the civil servants for help?" Rong Zhuo said: "There are so many people in their private barracks, and it should be easy to do something if they want to eat and drink?"
Yu Jingdu smiled, "You've got the point."
After he finished speaking, he circled the paper, "Your father has been here just now, and he said that he has an old friend who is an acquaintance in Yuzhou, and this time may be able to help."
They went to Yuzhou to do business this time. Although they had the imperial decree of the emperor, as the saying goes, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a snake. Even if the local officials dare not openly disobey the emperor's order, as long as they do not cooperate wholeheartedly, it will be troublesome enough.
"Is it reliable?" Rong Zhuo asked: "Before the crown prince chose Yuzhou to raise private soldiers, he reckoned that there were a lot of scumbags there. Even if a lot of things were dealt with last time, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no fish that slipped through the net."
"You go to Yuzhou with me, I don't think your father will recommend unreliable people to me." Yu Jingdu said.
"It's hard to say." Rong Zhuo said: "People change, my father hasn't seen him for so many years, so be careful."
Yu Jingdu was amused by his behavior that even his own father doubted, and asked: "If we can't count on these people, do you have any good ideas?"
"Can't we use the method we used last time?" Rong Zhuo was immediately refreshed when he was asked, "When the time comes, let's go to Yuzhou and ask General Li to disguise himself as you and lead people to deal with the officials. Mixed in my uncle's caravan, got things done without anyone noticing."
Rong Zhuo's method is seen in the film and television dramas. The imperial ministers go to the localities to investigate. Generally speaking, nothing can be found out on the surface, because he is in the clear and others are in the dark.Therefore, "private visits on micro-services" has become a very popular routine, but although this routine is vulgar, it is easy to use.
Even in modern society, many investigative reporters or police officers of the special case team still like to use this trick.
Yu Jingdu couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, he found that Rong Zhuo's expression was very funny every time he came up with a tricky idea.
In fact, what they are going to do this time is far from something that can be done by hiding secretly, but he thinks that he can really play with Rong Zhuo in the early stage.
After all, he originally planned to use the matter of the Duan family's caravan as an excuse to bring Rong Zhuo along.
When Li Feng and the others went to Yuzhou last time, they didn't dare to startle the enemy, and they didn't get too many specific clues about the private barracks.Going to Yuzhou this time, they must collect more information about the private barracks, so that they can make a move if they know themselves and the enemy.Rong Zhuo's idea coincided with his plan.
In the evening of that day, Yu Jingdu went into the palace.
He reported his preliminary plan to the emperor, but he didn't mention anything about Rong Zhuo.
"My son and Master Rong talked about this matter, and he came up with an idea." Yu Jingdu said Rong Zhuo's words to the emperor again, but replaced Rong Zhuo with Rong Qinghuai, "The benefits of this method It's just that there is no need to mobilize the army too much, maybe there is no need to mobilize troops, and it can be settled by relying on the Yuzhou camp. But I still feel that it is not safe. The Duan family caravan is just a group of merchants. It’s just an opportunity to make meritorious service, and it may not be helpful at that time.”
"Father Rong Qinghuai and his son have contributed to this matter, but it may not be because of what you said." The emperor said: "And don't look down on merchants, they may not be as good as you in fighting, but they really have merit in other things. Merit."
"Father, do you mean that you can try taking Shopkeeper Duan with you?" Yu Jingdu asked.
"After all, shopkeeper Duan is not from the court, and he is older than you. If you want to order him around, it is not good to take him with you." The emperor knew Yu Jingdu's temperament, and he was afraid that he would be self-defeating, so he said: "His family Do you have any sons? You can bring someone of similar age with you, and it will be easy to support him at that time."
Yu Jingdu sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, "I heard from the young master of the Rong family that he seems to have a cousin of a similar age."
"Let him follow." The emperor said: "If the Duan family wants to show kindness to you, it is also for the future of their own son. If you take the Duan family's kid, their caravan will definitely be at your disposal."
"Yes." Yu Jingdu said.
"Bring that brat from the Rong family along." The emperor said: "Rong Qinghuai has already done this, and he has to sell one of the favors that should be sold."
From the emperor's point of view, Rong Qinghuai took the initiative to mention this matter just to make a contribution with his wife and brother-in-law's family.
And he felt that Yu Jingdu didn't understand the world and the world here, so he couldn't see through the mystery inside, so he pretended to be clever and gave him advice.
How did he know that Yu Jingdu's goal from the beginning was Rong Zhuo.
"Bringing two dudes to Yuzhou, wouldn't my minister still serve them?" Yu Jingdu frowned.
"People from the Duan family's caravan will naturally serve you, so you don't have to worry about it." The emperor said patiently: "Besides, doesn't that kid from the Rong family look quite sensible? You just have a prejudice against scholars."
After that, he seemed to be worried that Yu Jingdu would not be happy, and said again: "You, you used to only know how to lead troops, but you don't understand the world at all. Although merchants are not high-ranking in my dynasty, their strength should not be underestimated. If When you meet a big business, if you recruit them, you recruit an intelligence network. What you know from their mouths is much more informed than the documents from all over the place."
Yu Jingdu heard the words and said: "Yes, I have remembered."
"You still have a lot to learn in the future." The emperor said: "Don't worry, take your time."
Yu Jingdu originally prepared several sets of rhetoric, and planned to decide which one to use based on the emperor's reaction.I didn't expect the emperor to be so cooperative, but when Jing Du mentioned Rong Zhuo, he pushed the boat along and asked Rong Zhuo to follow.
His decision is not difficult to understand, as Yu Jingdu will be the heir apparent in the future, he must accumulate some support.
A family of merchants like the Duan family has countless businessmen behind them. Yu Jingdu's recruitment of a son of the Duan family is tantamount to taking over the Duan family and the network behind it.
In the past, the prince has always pretended to be noble and not to associate with these people. If not, he would not be reduced to embezzling disaster relief funds and food to support private soldiers.
As for Rong Zhuo, the emperor also noticed last night that Ji Xiunian still cared about his former lover.
So the emperor felt that if Yu Jingdu recruited him, it was equivalent to recruiting Ji Xiunian.
With the replacement of the next crown prince, the emperor would be busy restricting and balancing.
But Yu Jingdu had nothing before, and the emperor wanted to plan for him, otherwise he would sit on the position of crown prince with a clean body, and he might attract criticism again, and it would not be a good thing for the stability of the court.
The next day, Yu Jingdu went to see Father Duan with his will.
Duan's father wanted his son to experience it early in the morning, and now that His Royal Highness Yan Wang intends to cultivate him, he naturally has no choice but to follow.
Moreover, he has traveled all over the years and seen the world, so he is not very worried about the safety of this trip.
The emperor even sent out the future heir, so the safety issue can be guaranteed. No matter how precious his son is, can he have the future heir?
Duan Zheng was happy for a long time when he heard that he was going on a long trip with Rong Zhuo, but it was a pity that this matter had to be kept secret, so he couldn't go out and brag.
After enduring it for several days, finally when it was time to set off, Duan Zheng excitedly got into the carriage, waiting for Rong Zhuo to meet him.
However, the carriage kept leaving the city, and Duan Zheng did not see Rong Zhuo's face.
He opened the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw that there were several other carriages accompanying him, and his heart was probably inside these carriages.
However, when he was resting at the post station, he ran to the other carriages and looked at them one by one, but he couldn't find anyone.
"General Li, where is Xiao Zhuo? Didn't we agree to go together?" Duan Zheng asked Li Feng.
Li Feng counted the people accompanying him, and said to him: "Our young master changed his mind early in the morning and set off first with Young Master Rong."
Duan Zheng: ...
What number of ways is this?
On the other side, Rong Zhuo was called up by Yu Jingdu early in the morning, and he didn't wake up at all.
He ate something hastily, and took another nap after getting into the carriage.
When he woke up, he found that the carriage had left the city.
"Have you had enough sleep?" Yu Jingdu looked at him with a smile in his eyes and asked.
Rong Zhuo rubbed his eyes and got up from his arms, his expression was full of bewilderment and innocence.
"How long have I been asleep?" Rong Zhuo asked sleepily.
"Less than an hour." Yu Jingdu said.
Hearing this, Rong Zhuo lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and found that this carriage was the only one traveling with him, followed by two guards on horseback.
Didn't you agree to take Duan Zheng with you?Why didn't you see Duan Zheng?
"Where's my cousin?" Rong Zhuo asked him.
"It's in the back, don't go on the same road with us."
Rong Zhuo stared blankly outside for a while, then asked: "Then where are we going?"
"Afraid that I will abduct you?" Yu Jingdu asked without answering.
"That's not true." Rong Zhuo stared at him for a long while, feeling that Yu Jingdu after leaving the capital was a bit different from before.
Especially when looking at him, the gaze is not as restrained and gentle as before, it seems to be a little more undisguised burning.
Rong Zhuo: ...
Is it really going to abduct him and sell him?
--------------------
The author has something to say:
King of the Banquet: Elope with you
When he was sleepy, his head nodded, like a kitten kidnapped by sleepiness, he looked obedient and cute.
Yu Jingdu sat not far away and looked at him. Seeing the young man's beautiful eyes gradually becoming blurred, his eyelids looked like a door that was about to close. After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up struggling and closed them completely. ,
After a while, Rong Zhuo lay motionless on the low couch.
After his breathing gradually became even, Yu Jingdu got up, went to the low couch and squatted down.
A charcoal basin was lit in the hall, which was quite warm.
After Rong Zhuo fell asleep, his fair face was slightly reddish, looking very attractive.
Yu Jingdu raised his hand and caressed his face, and slowly lowered his thumb, pressing it on the young man's beautiful thin lips.
The thin calluses on his fingertips slowly brushed against his lips, making Rong Zhuo itchy slightly, he unconsciously pursed his lips, and then stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick his lips.
Rong Zhuo's warm tongue quickly rubbed against Jing Du's fingertips, causing his blood to surge up, his heart seemed to be bewitched, and he was vaguely about to lose control.
Yu Jingdu didn't dare to let the longing in his heart continue to spread, so he hurriedly restrained his emotions, slowly picked up the boy from the low couch, and put him back on his own couch.He lightly helped Rong Zhuo take off his robe, for fear of waking him up.
Probably because it was a little cold under the quilt, Rong Zhuo frowned and turned over, holding Yu Jingdu's arm in one hand without letting go, treating him like a human-shaped heater.Yu Jingdu had no choice but to take off his outer robe and get under the quilt, offering to help him warm the quilt.
Rong Zhuo felt that there was something warm beside him, so he moved closer to him, unconsciously rubbing his hands and feet, trying to find a comfortable position.
Yu Jingdu put his arms around his rubbing hands, and trapped him in his arms, but the person in his arms was obedient, and soon stopped moving, his head resting on his neck, and fell asleep contentedly again.
However, Yu Jingdu soon found out that the person in his arms was not moving, but the scrambling in his heart did not stop.
Holding the person Xiao had wanted for a long time in his arms, his breath was filled with the familiar light fragrance of the other party, and even the boy's even breath falling on the side of his neck seemed to be some kind of provocation.
Yu Jingdu sighed, feeling very helpless for a part of his body that was out of control.
He rubbed his chin on the top of Rong Zhuo's fluffy hair, and then kissed it again.
Then, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in his heart...
As if possessed by a demon, Yu Jingdu slowly raised Rong Zhuo's head with one hand, and pressed his own forehead against the young man's.
He thought that he might be able to secretly relieve himself by the boy's side.
Even just looking at each other and listening to the shallow breathing is a great satisfaction for him.
The tips of their noses touched and their breaths intertwined, giving Yu Jingdu the illusion that they were kissing.
His breathing gradually became messy, almost uncontrollable.
But soon, he felt a strong sense of guilt again.
Rong Zhuo was too clean, as clean as a piece of white paper, without any ink on it.
Such a clean and pure person should not be treated like this by him.
Yu Jingdu seemed to wake up suddenly, lifted the quilt, got up and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
Rong Zhuo didn't know anything about this, he turned over and didn't touch his human-shaped heater, so he could only continue to sleep in the place where the other person's body temperature hadn't faded.
As for Yu Jingdu, the cold wind blew outside for a long time.
In the second half of the night, he didn't dare to go back to sleep.
He secretly thought, there is too much eyeliner in the capital, so it's not good to be too presumptuous.
After leaving the capital, no matter what he said, he had to let the little dude know what he was thinking.
Otherwise, if this continues, he will go crazy sooner or later...
Early the next morning, Li Feng came to report that Rong Qinghuai had been brought back.
Yu Jingdu's eyes were black and blue, he looked like a beast that was suffocating but had nowhere to vent.
"Understood." Yu Jingdu said lightly.
"Master Rong is outside the hall, and he said he wanted to wish you a new year." Li Feng said.
Yu Jingdu was silent for a while, glanced at the direction of the inner hall, and said, "Let him in."
Hearing this, Li Feng went out and invited people in. When Rong Qinghuai saw Jing Du, he hurriedly bowed to him and said some auspicious words.
"Master Rong, sit down and have a cup of tea." Yu Jingdu returned the salute to him with a very polite attitude.
Rong Qinghuai didn't doubt that he was there, so he sat down on the opposite side of the tea table.
"Rong Zhuo hasn't woken up yet. I watched the New Year's Eve until midnight last night, and I'm tired." Yu Jingdu seemed to have no intention of saying.
Rong Qinghuai sensed something strange from what he said for no reason, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Maybe it's the phrase "I haven't gotten up yet", or maybe it's the phrase "Last night watching the New Year's Eve until midnight", in short, it feels a bit strange when I hear it.
"Did Li Feng mention what happened last night to Lord Rong?" Yu Jingdu asked.
"General Li mentioned a few words." Rong Qinghuai said: "Your Highness is really good at planning, this time His Majesty must be very disappointed with the Crown Prince."
Yu Jingdu poured tea for him, and said calmly, "My king will leave for Yuzhou in a few days."
"Your Highness has finally decided to go..." Rong Qinghuai didn't seem surprised by his decision.
The last time he reminded the other party to hide was out of his judgment.
But he also knew that His Royal Highness Yan Wang was not a person who would listen to others.
If Yu Jingdu wants to do something, no amount of persuasion by others will help.
"Your Excellency must have imagined the situation in Yuzhou. If the king doesn't go, who else can go?" Yu Jingdu said: "It's not easy to send another idiot to mess things up. It's not the one who will suffer then." You and I, but the people of Yuzhou."
Rong Qinghuai was quite moved when he heard the words, "What His Highness said is very true, but the lower officials are narrow-minded."
"However, there is something I need to discuss with Mr. Rong this time." Yu Jingdu said.
"Your Highness, it's okay to say."
"This king wants to take Xiao Zhuo to Yuzhou together."
Rong Qinghuai was startled, the first reaction was why His Royal Highness Yan Wang suddenly called Rong Zhuo "Xiao Zhuo", and the second reaction was, why did His Royal Highness Yan Wang take Rong Zhuo with him?
"Why does Your Highness...have such a plan?" Rong Qinghuai asked, holding back his suspicions.
"Don't worry about him staying in the capital." Yu Jingdu said, "Besides, I'm going to Yuzhou now, and I'm afraid I'll have to stay for a while."
Rong Qinghuai frowned and pondered for a while, but he always felt that Yu Jingdu's words had unfinished meaning.
Especially the sentence that I'm afraid it will take a while, he doesn't understand what it has to do with Rong Zhuo?
Didn't His Royal Highness Yan Wang stay at the border for several years?
What's so special about going to Yuzhou to stay longer?
"Your Highness..." Rong Qinghuai had seen the storm after all, he had many questions in his mind, but his tone was very calm when he spoke, "It's not that the lower officials made things difficult for Your Highness, it's just that there are many variables in the trip to Yuzhou, and the dog is not a martial artist I don't know anything about the military, so I'm afraid I can't help His Highness?"
"Master Rong is afraid that he will be in danger?" Yu Jingdu said: "Then I have to remind Lord Rong that once I leave the capital for too long, the capital may be more dangerous to him than Yuzhou."
Yu Jingdu's words were actually a bit alarmist, but when Rong Qinghuai heard the words, he couldn't help thinking of the time when he sent Rong Zhuo's mother and son out of Beijing.At that time, if it wasn't for Rong Zhuo's cleverness, their family didn't know if they would be able to reunite.
Thinking about it this way, Yu Jingdu's words are not unreasonable.
If someone stays in the capital, if there is an emergency, he will not be able to protect him.
Just when Rong Qinghuai was hesitating, there was a sudden rustling from the inner hall.
Not long after, Rong Zhuo in pajamas came out from behind the screen rubbing his eyes.
The young man should have just woken up, his eyes were still a bit dazed, he was startled when he saw Rong Qinghuai, "Father, are you back?"
Before he could wake up, Yu Jingdu turned his head and said softly, "Go and wash your face first, and let them bring breakfast over later."
"Okay." Rong Zhuo sniffed, then obediently turned around and followed the servants of the palace to wash up.
Looking at his son's back, Rong Qinghuai changed his expression several times, and finally settled on a very uncomfortable expression.
It's not that he has never heard of his son's "feat" in Hualou before, and he has also heard the rumors about Rong Zhuo's masculinity.But before, he had been preoccupied with life-and-death matters, and he had no time to care whether his son liked men or women.
But he never thought that Rong Zhuo could get together with His Highness Yan Wang.
Rong Zhuo came down from the other party's bed in disheveled clothes early in the morning, and His Royal Highness Yan Wang said such thought-provoking words again, no one could help but be wrong!
In this way, many of Rong Qinghuai's previous doubts were resolved.
He had asked Rong Zhuo before why he wanted to get involved in the matter of King Yan. After all, it was a matter of blatantly going against the prince. If King Yan lost in the end, it would be considered a lost cause.
But Rong Zhuo didn't speak directly to him at that time.
Now Rong Qinghuai understands, if the two of them have reached this point, then it makes sense.
"Master Rong, the matter has come to this point, you and I have no way out." Yu Jingdu said, "Whether it's this king or Rong Zhuo, we can only go forward, don't you think so?"
Rong Qinghuai looked at him meaningfully, but did not respond for a long time.
What else can he say?Rong Zhuo obviously went in all the time, losing his wealth and life.
Among other things, based on the relationship between the two of them alone, once Yu Jingdu left, Rong Zhuo would become the prince's handle to control the banquet king.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed safer for Rong Zhuo to follow Yu Jingdu.
As for Rong Qinghuai, no matter whether he is unhappy or opposed, it is impossible to turn against Yu Jingdu at this juncture.
Because the crown prince has not yet been abolished, the centipede is dead but not stiff...
They can't offend the prince with their front feet, and then turn against the king of banquets with their back feet.
In other words, even if he wanted to object, he had to wait until the dust settled.
"He has no fame, and he doesn't know how to serve in the army." Rong Qinghuai said: "Your Highness wants to take him, so you have to give His Majesty a reason?"
"Master Rong, don't worry, this king has already thought about it." Yu Jingdu said: "Before this king ordered people to investigate the case in Yuzhou, Rong Zhuo once proposed to ask his uncle's caravan to assist. The emperor didn't know about this matter. I will use this excuse to convince my father to let me go to Yuzhou with Rong Zhuo."
After all, the matter of the private barracks is too complicated, as long as Yu Jingdu puts forward a well-founded reason, the emperor will definitely agree.
Coupled with what happened last night, the emperor should no longer suspect that Yu Jingdu had selfish intentions.
"I will tell my father that this matter was brought up by Lord Rong, so that my father will think that Lord Rong wants to make meritorious service on this matter." Yu Jingdu said: "I hope Lord Rong will forgive me."
Rong Qinghuai sighed and said: "It doesn't matter what your Highness says, I just hope that His Highness can bring the dog back safe and sound."
"Master Rong, don't worry." Yu Jingdu didn't give him any verbal promise, he just got up and saluted him seriously.
Rong Qinghuai got up and saluted him back, then turned and left.
However, just as he took a few steps, he stopped again.
"May I ask His Royal Highness the Banquet King one thing." Rong Qinghuai said with a sad expression, "When the matter is over..."
"Lord Rong." Yu Jingdu suddenly interrupted him and said, "This king knows what you want to say. I'm sorry I can't promise you this matter, but you can rest assured that after the matter is over, I can let him choose. If he If he wants to leave, I have nothing to say. But if he doesn't want to leave, no one can force him."
When Yu Jingdu said this, his eyes carried a bit of pressure that could not be discussed.
"But in the future..." Rong Qinghuai said, "How do you let him deal with himself... Is he competing for favor with a bunch of women?"
"Master Rong." Yu Jingdu was silent for a moment, "No matter what I say now, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease, why don't you wait until that day to see? Show off the majesty of being an elder."
In his last sentence, he cleverly changed the address, using words like "junior" and "elder".
Rong Qinghuai is a smart person, so he naturally understood what he meant.
It's just that at this moment, just like what Yu Jingdu said, no matter what he said, Rong Qinghuai couldn't feel at ease.
After Rong Zhuo finished washing and came out, Rong Qinghuai had already left.
He didn't think much about it, he just thought that his father's visit was just to pay New Year's greetings to the master's house as usual.
After all, their father and son live in Yanwang Mansion, and it is always a courtesy to come to greet them on the first day of the new year.
"Your father agreed to your going to Yuzhou." Yu Jingdu said casually.
Rong Zhuo was taken aback, "He didn't say anything?"
"Let me take good care of you." Yu Jingdu said.
Rong Zhuo didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, he was completely awake now, he felt a little embarrassed when he remembered what happened last night, "I fell asleep last night, did you disturb His Highness's rest?"
"No." Yu Jingdu smiled lightly, "It's not like I didn't sleep in a bed before, so there's nothing to disturb."
Rong Zhuo looked at the smear of black under his eyes, and thought to himself that it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night.
"If you encounter such a situation in the future, His Highness will wake me up." Rong Zhuo said.
"When I go to Yuzhou in the future, I'm afraid there will be no distinction between each other, so there's no need to worry about so much." Yu Jingdu said calmly, "Let's have breakfast first, and I'll send you back to your residence later, and pay homage to your mother." Year."
When Rong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly remembered that Yu Jingdu's mother passed away when the other party was a teenager, so he should miss her very much, right?
Thinking of this, Rong Zhuo said: "What is Your Highness doing today? Are you also busy on New Year's Day?"
"You really guessed it right." Yu Jingdu ordered someone to bring breakfast, and while eating breakfast with Rong Zhuo, he said: "I'm going to Yuzhou, I'm busy these days. If you feel bored in the mansion, I'll ask Li Feng to take you out for a walk."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Rong Zhuo asked.
Yu Jingdu was startled, apparently he did not expect him to ask such a question.
He originally wanted to tell Rong Zhuo not to worry about these things, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind, "If you don't find it boring, you can stay with me, but I'll go back to the house and pay New Year's greetings to your mother first."
"Okay." Hearing this, Rong Zhuo hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, then hurried back to his room to change clothes.
After breakfast, Yu Jingdu asked someone to send Rong Zhuo back to the Rong Mansion, and asked someone to prepare some gifts to take with him.
Rong Zhuo came back at noon, and brought spring rolls made by Rong's mother.
Yu Jingdu was at the desk, holding a document in one hand, and writing something with a pen in the other.
"Your Highness, my mother told you to have a taste." Rong Zhuo opened the food box, and placed the spring rolls in front of Yu Jingdu.
Yu Jingdu raised his eyes, and secretly thought that Rong's mother was quite caring.
"Okay, I'll eat later." Yu Jingdu smiled at him, then turned to Li Feng beside him and said, "This lieutenant general surnamed Liu in the Yuzhou camp, did you contact him when you went to Yuzhou last time?"
"Yes." Li Feng said hastily: "The Yuzhou camp has His Majesty's imperial decree, so it should be no problem for them to cooperate."
"Well, what needs to be considered now is the extreme situation." Yu Jingdu said: "If there is a real fight, the Yuzhou camp may not be enough."
As Yu Jingdu spoke, he raised his head and found that Rong Zhuo was still standing aside, looking at him eagerly.
"The spring rolls are getting cold." Rong Zhuo whispered.
Yu Jingdu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've got all my hands, why don't you feed me?"
Hearing this, Rong Zhuo hurriedly trotted to find a pair of chopsticks and came back.
Yu Jingdu looked at the chopsticks in his hand with a slightly disappointed expression.
"Come." Rong Zhuo put a spring roll to his mouth, Yu Jingdu took a bite awkwardly, and commented: "Tell Mrs. Rong, the spring roll tastes good." Rong Zhuo smiled and took the rest Half was delivered to his mouth again.
"These two state capitals are not too far from Yuzhou. If you need to transfer troops for city defense, you should be there in two or three days." Li Feng said.
Yu Jingdu took another bite of the spring rolls that Rong Zhuo handed over, shook his head and said: "Although the soldiers in the city defense can be dispatched without a soldier talisman, if it is not a last resort, we should not consider the issue of dispatching troops, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the emperor." .”
Rong Zhuo listened intently, and asked, "Don't His Majesty already trust His Highness? Why do you still suspect you?"
"Trust is temporary, and suspicion is at any time." Yu Jingdu looked up, and saw the young man holding a spring roll to his lips and biting it.
After noticing Yu Jingdu's gaze, Rong Zhuo felt a little guilty, and hurriedly handed the remaining half of the chopsticks to Yu Jingdu's mouth.
He was purely looking at Yu Jingdu's delicious food just now, but after being seen by the other party, he felt embarrassed and completely forgot that he had bitten half of what he sent over.
Yu Jingdu seemed to be afraid that he would react, and quickly took away the half-bitten spring roll.
Li Feng, who was about to remind him, watched his Highness eagerly swallow the spring rolls that Young Master Rong ate, and seemed quite content with his expression.
He really doesn't understand...
"Cough!" Yu Jingdu ate too hastily, almost choking on himself. Afterwards, he patiently explained to Rong Zhuo: "He has sat in that seat for too long, and he has learned from the prince's past, so he is not good at me. His trust will definitely not last long. Besides, I have led soldiers, if he knows that I dispatched the city defense battalion near Yuzhou at will, he might be suspicious of me."
Rong Zhuo nodded, thinking that if you become an emperor in the future, don't be like your father!
"Then you can't transfer troops, can you ask the civil servants for help?" Rong Zhuo said: "There are so many people in their private barracks, and it should be easy to do something if they want to eat and drink?"
Yu Jingdu smiled, "You've got the point."
After he finished speaking, he circled the paper, "Your father has been here just now, and he said that he has an old friend who is an acquaintance in Yuzhou, and this time may be able to help."
They went to Yuzhou to do business this time. Although they had the imperial decree of the emperor, as the saying goes, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a snake. Even if the local officials dare not openly disobey the emperor's order, as long as they do not cooperate wholeheartedly, it will be troublesome enough.
"Is it reliable?" Rong Zhuo asked: "Before the crown prince chose Yuzhou to raise private soldiers, he reckoned that there were a lot of scumbags there. Even if a lot of things were dealt with last time, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no fish that slipped through the net."
"You go to Yuzhou with me, I don't think your father will recommend unreliable people to me." Yu Jingdu said.
"It's hard to say." Rong Zhuo said: "People change, my father hasn't seen him for so many years, so be careful."
Yu Jingdu was amused by his behavior that even his own father doubted, and asked: "If we can't count on these people, do you have any good ideas?"
"Can't we use the method we used last time?" Rong Zhuo was immediately refreshed when he was asked, "When the time comes, let's go to Yuzhou and ask General Li to disguise himself as you and lead people to deal with the officials. Mixed in my uncle's caravan, got things done without anyone noticing."
Rong Zhuo's method is seen in the film and television dramas. The imperial ministers go to the localities to investigate. Generally speaking, nothing can be found out on the surface, because he is in the clear and others are in the dark.Therefore, "private visits on micro-services" has become a very popular routine, but although this routine is vulgar, it is easy to use.
Even in modern society, many investigative reporters or police officers of the special case team still like to use this trick.
Yu Jingdu couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, he found that Rong Zhuo's expression was very funny every time he came up with a tricky idea.
In fact, what they are going to do this time is far from something that can be done by hiding secretly, but he thinks that he can really play with Rong Zhuo in the early stage.
After all, he originally planned to use the matter of the Duan family's caravan as an excuse to bring Rong Zhuo along.
When Li Feng and the others went to Yuzhou last time, they didn't dare to startle the enemy, and they didn't get too many specific clues about the private barracks.Going to Yuzhou this time, they must collect more information about the private barracks, so that they can make a move if they know themselves and the enemy.Rong Zhuo's idea coincided with his plan.
In the evening of that day, Yu Jingdu went into the palace.
He reported his preliminary plan to the emperor, but he didn't mention anything about Rong Zhuo.
"My son and Master Rong talked about this matter, and he came up with an idea." Yu Jingdu said Rong Zhuo's words to the emperor again, but replaced Rong Zhuo with Rong Qinghuai, "The benefits of this method It's just that there is no need to mobilize the army too much, maybe there is no need to mobilize troops, and it can be settled by relying on the Yuzhou camp. But I still feel that it is not safe. The Duan family caravan is just a group of merchants. It’s just an opportunity to make meritorious service, and it may not be helpful at that time.”
"Father Rong Qinghuai and his son have contributed to this matter, but it may not be because of what you said." The emperor said: "And don't look down on merchants, they may not be as good as you in fighting, but they really have merit in other things. Merit."
"Father, do you mean that you can try taking Shopkeeper Duan with you?" Yu Jingdu asked.
"After all, shopkeeper Duan is not from the court, and he is older than you. If you want to order him around, it is not good to take him with you." The emperor knew Yu Jingdu's temperament, and he was afraid that he would be self-defeating, so he said: "His family Do you have any sons? You can bring someone of similar age with you, and it will be easy to support him at that time."
Yu Jingdu sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, "I heard from the young master of the Rong family that he seems to have a cousin of a similar age."
"Let him follow." The emperor said: "If the Duan family wants to show kindness to you, it is also for the future of their own son. If you take the Duan family's kid, their caravan will definitely be at your disposal."
"Yes." Yu Jingdu said.
"Bring that brat from the Rong family along." The emperor said: "Rong Qinghuai has already done this, and he has to sell one of the favors that should be sold."
From the emperor's point of view, Rong Qinghuai took the initiative to mention this matter just to make a contribution with his wife and brother-in-law's family.
And he felt that Yu Jingdu didn't understand the world and the world here, so he couldn't see through the mystery inside, so he pretended to be clever and gave him advice.
How did he know that Yu Jingdu's goal from the beginning was Rong Zhuo.
"Bringing two dudes to Yuzhou, wouldn't my minister still serve them?" Yu Jingdu frowned.
"People from the Duan family's caravan will naturally serve you, so you don't have to worry about it." The emperor said patiently: "Besides, doesn't that kid from the Rong family look quite sensible? You just have a prejudice against scholars."
After that, he seemed to be worried that Yu Jingdu would not be happy, and said again: "You, you used to only know how to lead troops, but you don't understand the world at all. Although merchants are not high-ranking in my dynasty, their strength should not be underestimated. If When you meet a big business, if you recruit them, you recruit an intelligence network. What you know from their mouths is much more informed than the documents from all over the place."
Yu Jingdu heard the words and said: "Yes, I have remembered."
"You still have a lot to learn in the future." The emperor said: "Don't worry, take your time."
Yu Jingdu originally prepared several sets of rhetoric, and planned to decide which one to use based on the emperor's reaction.I didn't expect the emperor to be so cooperative, but when Jing Du mentioned Rong Zhuo, he pushed the boat along and asked Rong Zhuo to follow.
His decision is not difficult to understand, as Yu Jingdu will be the heir apparent in the future, he must accumulate some support.
A family of merchants like the Duan family has countless businessmen behind them. Yu Jingdu's recruitment of a son of the Duan family is tantamount to taking over the Duan family and the network behind it.
In the past, the prince has always pretended to be noble and not to associate with these people. If not, he would not be reduced to embezzling disaster relief funds and food to support private soldiers.
As for Rong Zhuo, the emperor also noticed last night that Ji Xiunian still cared about his former lover.
So the emperor felt that if Yu Jingdu recruited him, it was equivalent to recruiting Ji Xiunian.
With the replacement of the next crown prince, the emperor would be busy restricting and balancing.
But Yu Jingdu had nothing before, and the emperor wanted to plan for him, otherwise he would sit on the position of crown prince with a clean body, and he might attract criticism again, and it would not be a good thing for the stability of the court.
The next day, Yu Jingdu went to see Father Duan with his will.
Duan's father wanted his son to experience it early in the morning, and now that His Royal Highness Yan Wang intends to cultivate him, he naturally has no choice but to follow.
Moreover, he has traveled all over the years and seen the world, so he is not very worried about the safety of this trip.
The emperor even sent out the future heir, so the safety issue can be guaranteed. No matter how precious his son is, can he have the future heir?
Duan Zheng was happy for a long time when he heard that he was going on a long trip with Rong Zhuo, but it was a pity that this matter had to be kept secret, so he couldn't go out and brag.
After enduring it for several days, finally when it was time to set off, Duan Zheng excitedly got into the carriage, waiting for Rong Zhuo to meet him.
However, the carriage kept leaving the city, and Duan Zheng did not see Rong Zhuo's face.
He opened the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw that there were several other carriages accompanying him, and his heart was probably inside these carriages.
However, when he was resting at the post station, he ran to the other carriages and looked at them one by one, but he couldn't find anyone.
"General Li, where is Xiao Zhuo? Didn't we agree to go together?" Duan Zheng asked Li Feng.
Li Feng counted the people accompanying him, and said to him: "Our young master changed his mind early in the morning and set off first with Young Master Rong."
Duan Zheng: ...
What number of ways is this?
On the other side, Rong Zhuo was called up by Yu Jingdu early in the morning, and he didn't wake up at all.
He ate something hastily, and took another nap after getting into the carriage.
When he woke up, he found that the carriage had left the city.
"Have you had enough sleep?" Yu Jingdu looked at him with a smile in his eyes and asked.
Rong Zhuo rubbed his eyes and got up from his arms, his expression was full of bewilderment and innocence.
"How long have I been asleep?" Rong Zhuo asked sleepily.
"Less than an hour." Yu Jingdu said.
Hearing this, Rong Zhuo lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and found that this carriage was the only one traveling with him, followed by two guards on horseback.
Didn't you agree to take Duan Zheng with you?Why didn't you see Duan Zheng?
"Where's my cousin?" Rong Zhuo asked him.
"It's in the back, don't go on the same road with us."
Rong Zhuo stared blankly outside for a while, then asked: "Then where are we going?"
"Afraid that I will abduct you?" Yu Jingdu asked without answering.
"That's not true." Rong Zhuo stared at him for a long while, feeling that Yu Jingdu after leaving the capital was a bit different from before.
Especially when looking at him, the gaze is not as restrained and gentle as before, it seems to be a little more undisguised burning.
Rong Zhuo: ...
Is it really going to abduct him and sell him?
