Chapter 281 The Palace of Imperial

But it didn't take long before the staff came back.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yijian put down the Chinese book in his hand, his voice a little dissatisfied.

"Dongweng!" The staff bowed and lowered his voice: "The King of Wei has sent someone!"

"Is it a famous post?" Lu Yijian asked thinking, gently stroked the paper with his fingers, and his mind was a little uneasy.

The staff member showed a disappointed expression and replied hesitantly: "It's not a famous post, it's a gift!"

Lu Yijian was a little surprised and asked, "Oh? What kind of gift is it!"

"A wine glass!" the staff answered and quickly added: "Made of gold...just...just..."

"What's the hesitant thing?" Lu Yijian was also a little confused about Zhao Jin's intention.

Generally speaking, as a recommender, under normal circumstances, the person who is recommended will visit Lu Yijian, the recommender. On the one hand, he is grateful for the other party's recommendation, and on the other hand, he is naturally grateful for the gift.

However, Lu Yijian knew that he and Zhao Chen had an unresolved conflict, and this time he recommended Zhao Chen, he also had unknown little thoughts. So Zhao Chen did not come to visit him, and Lu Yijian also expected that. Because of this, the staff came to report that after Zhao Chen returned to Beijing, he did not even handed him a famous post, and Lu Yijian was not angry.

Now Lu Yijian has to admit that Zhao Jin has successfully aroused his curiosity. "Okay! Stop talking, just take the gift! I want to see what kind of wine glass is so unique!"

The staff member wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he went down obediently. Not long after, a pallet covered with red cloth was brought up. The staff member walked on the side with an unnatural look on his face. He felt unfair to the pallet.

Lu Yijian is so old. I have never seen any big winds and waves? There are already a lot of ups and downs alone, and he has been demoted three times for the prime minister.

"Open it!" Lu Yijian ordered to the servant.

"Yes!" The servant replied and slowly lifted up the red cloth.

Although I had seen many strong winds and waves, Lu Yijian's face turned bad now, and his pupils shrank like needles. I saw a human head on the tray, but it was actually a wine glass wrapped in gold.

The craftsmanship is obviously very exquisite, the head is made of lifelike and dark gold. It is like a thin layer of skin, outlining the shape of the skull. In the eye socket, there are two red jades inlaid. I don’t know what kind of jade it is, like blood. Combined with the terrifying skull, it makes people look creepy and thrilling.

"Damn it! Take it away! Take it away!" Lu Yijian only felt a cold air coming out of his spine, making the cold people's pores stiff.

The servant quickly covered the red cloth with his skull and hurriedly stepped back, not even caring about salute.

"This little bastard!" Lu Yijian's hands clenched into fists under the desk.

After a long time, Lu Yijian took a deep breath and asked with a gloomy face: "Send this gift. That little villain will definitely not be that simple. What else did he say?"

The staff member swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "The messenger who gave the gift said that this was seized by King Wei Qiansui from Anhuaman, which was a major wine vessel used in Anhuaman every festival. It is said that it originated from a powerful barbarian king, hoping that it could increase Dongweng's courage."

"This little bastard!" Lu Yijian swept the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk to the ground, and there were endless crackling sounds.

The staff member was silent and stood there, fearing that they would be discovered by Lu Yijian, which would become his vent for venting his anger.

…………

The next day, it was dark.

Zhao Jin stood in the upper body, punched in the garden, took a deep breath, as if he had returned to the past years.

But soon, Zhao Jin knew that many things had changed.

He and his sixth brother, Song Renzong, Zhao Zhen, are no longer as close as before. His biological mother, Qian Concubine Qian, live in the harem. Zhao Chen repeatedly asked to welcome Qian Concubine Qian to the palace of Prince Wei to enjoy her old age, but Song Renzong refused with various excuses.

It's a hostage.

Zhao Qian knew that maybe because of this, Song Renzong dared to use himself!

Thinking of this, Zhao Jin couldn't help but feel a very ironic feeling. He wanted to laugh and cry, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart.

Xiao Xuanzi walked forward, put on a white towel for Zhao Qian, and said, "Prince, the weather is cold, don't invade the wind and cold."

Zhao Qian looked at Xiao Xuanzi who had been with him since childhood and sighed: "Thank you for your hard work over the years!"

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? Isn't this what I should do?" Xiao Xuanzi was a little unhappy.

Zhao Qian laughed and didn't reply. He went into the bathroom to take a shower and change his clothes. He was going to the palace today to meet the saint, but after the morning court. This saved Zhao Qian's trouble. Otherwise, he would have to go to the morning court and set off at the third day.

Not to mention that the temperature was low at that time, now it was when snow in Bianliang City was so cold outside. It was really a blessing for those court officials, and they still had to go to court at this time.

Although I am strong and I am afraid that I have to add a few fox furs, otherwise I will not be able to withstand the weather.

Just taking a shower and changing clothes, the beautiful lady floated up. After last night's nourishment, the beautiful lady was already radiant at this moment.

"Prince!" Before the person arrived, a delicate voice had already sounded.

Zhao Qian stretched out, and a rebellious and determined look appeared on his face, which made Jiao Niang unable to resist a moment of loss. Zhao Qian said, "Jiao Niang, you are here just in time. I am preparing you to buy a few fox furs for me. You know what size is!"

"Prince, please go with me! You haven't been shopping with me for a long time!" The girl said coquettishly, looking at Zhao Qian with watery eyes, as if you were not agreeing, so I would cry to show you.

Zhao Qian smiled wryly and comforted, "Okay, baby, I really have no choice! I have to go to meet the saint later. I don't know when I will come back. The queen of the saint will have to go to meet the two guilds and the Tongzhi Academy of the Privy Council!"

Jiao Niang knew the seriousness of the matter, so she had to put away her temper and pouted helplessly and said, "Okay! But Prince, you really take time to accompany me!"

"This is natural!" Zhao Qian said sadly, and said another love words, which made the girl turn anger into joy and leave with a smile.

"Prince! Early this morning, Miss Hua came to ask for a meeting again!" Xiao Xuanzi looked at Jiao Niang's leaving figure, and said in a low voice.

Zhao Qi's face froze and said helplessly: "Send her away! That's just a small task, tell her not to care!"

Xiao Xuanzi glanced at Zhao Jin and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know anything. Miss Hua is deeply in love with the prince. Since the prince saved her, she rented a small yard nearby to live. Because she did not receive guests and lacked money and food, she grew vegetables by herself during this period. The day before yesterday, she made a fuss about slaughtering a chicken. The chef in the mansion couldn't see it, so she helped her kill it. Unexpectedly, Miss Hua was crying and hugging the chicken. It was so funny and laughing!"

Although this matter sounds ridiculous, Zhao Qian's face froze and he was very helpless.

Zhao Qian is not a person with a heart. Although he only had a few words, he could see that Hua Xiangrong did have a firm feeling for him.

After sighing softly, Zhao Jin ordered: "You have someone give me some money, don't let Jiao Niang know. I dare not let her know about Dangyang County Lord."

Xiao Xuanzi hesitated and said, "Prince, Mrs. Jiao Niang won't say anything even if she knows it. The prince doesn't have to be so worried."

Zhao Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I know, but if I can, I don't want to make my girl sad. Forget it, let's not talk about this, the horses should be ready, and set out to the palace!"

Although Xiao Xuanzi was still a little puzzled, since Zhao Jin had said so, he would not ask questions without any ignorance.

After leaving the lobby, you can see a snow-white horse sitting in the yard.

Zhao Jin was a little surprised and asked to the groom who was leading the horse, "Where is Que Yue Wuzhi?"

"Prince, when you come to the long distance, the horse will naturally be exhausted. You have to take a good rest, otherwise the Queyue Black Horse will inevitably leave hidden dangers," the groom explained.

Zhao Jin nodded and set off on a white horse. Zhao Yingwu led more than 30 guards from the royal palace and his group rushed straight to the palace.

The guardian of the city was still an acquaintance, the Xiangzhou regiment commander Guo Chengyou, the deputy commander of the Longwei Army. When Zhao Qin broke into Baosheng Palace, this guy had stopped him, but in the end he gave way. Moreover, he was Zhao Qin's cousin, so he had some friendship.

Guo Chengyou didn't dare to make things difficult for Zhao Jin, but he felt unhappy when he saw Zhao Jin. Because when Zhao Jin was released to Baosheng Palace, he was beaten by Song Renzong. Otherwise, why did he have an official position after four years, and what kind of official position he had at the time?

Just to say that Guo Chengyou showed Zhao Jin's face, Guo Chengyou didn't have the courage to say hello a few words, and then found an excuse to escape.

Zhao Qian didn't care either. After waiting outside the palace gate for a while, an eunuch came to convey the orders of Song Renzong.

Song Renzong met Zhao Jin at Huangyi Hall, which was the place where the Northern Song Dynasty discussed military and national affairs. However, it seemed very serious. It would be fine if he met ordinary ministers. Zhao Jin was still the younger brother of Song Renzong.

Although he was ready, after hearing the eunuch's message, Zhao Qian couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

If you die, let him die!

When he came to the Huangyi Hall, in addition to Emperor Renzong, there were six other people, namely Prime Minister Zhang Shixun, Deputy Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Privy Councillor Xia Shouyun and Yan Shu, Deputy Prime Minister Song Xiang, former Prime Minister, current Minister of Rites and Prefecture Song Shou.

Except for Song Shou's lower official position, all the people present are the real power figures of the Song Dynasty at this moment.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng was the prince, so he just saluted Song Renzong. He just needed to nod to even an old minister like Zhang Shixun!
