Chapter 593 [Excursion]
Zhan Zhao and others returned to Kaifeng Prefecture and saw that the mansion was very lively.
In the courtyard, the kitchen aunt was holding a bag and was talking to several maids.
Zhan Zhao asked Cui'er, "Auntie is going out?"
"Well! The eldest lady is going to have a baby, she wants to go home early and not come back after the New Year." Cui'er spread her hands, "No one is cooking!"
Zhan Zhao gasped... Xiao Sizi also asked, "What should I do? Is there no food to eat?"
Gongsun reached out to pick up Xiao Sizi and poked him on the belly, "Can you still be hungry?"
The little Sizi hugged Gongsun's neck and asked, "Dad, if we go home for the New Year, we will leave Xiao Baozi's family in Kaifeng Mansion, and no one cooks. So pitiful!"
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Or what if you ask Lord Bao to go to the Demon Palace to celebrate the New Year with us?"
"That's right, so I won't have to go there again." Zhao Pu also came over and said.
After the kitchen aunt finished giving the instructions, she said goodbye to everyone and ran home happily.
Guard Zhan always felt that this place could not be kept in the air! How can I live without a cook? A house without a kitchen is incomplete! Kaifeng Mansion without a cook is also incomplete!
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Bao Yan and Pang Yu hurried in.
Pang Yu said to everyone as he entered the door, "It's amazing!"
Everyone looked at Pang Yu's expression, and the gloating looked at him and his "magnificent" didn't seem to match him.
"What happened?" Gongsun asked.
Bao Yanzhi shook his head, "Dad and the Grand Master started arguing in the court!"
Everyone looked at the sky. What's new about Master Bao and Master Pang's quarrel? When will they not argue?
"But unfortunately, it was a headache when the quarrel broke out today." Pang Yu spread his hands.
Everyone looked at Gongsun, as if they heard that Zhao Zhen had a headache these days.
Gongsun touched his chin and said, "It's because he didn't sleep well, and he was also frigid, so he had some migraines and needed quiet cultivation. It was indeed the time for the noise was wrong."
"What then?" Zhao Pu asked.
Pang Yu had no choice but to say, "The emperor drove Lord Bao and my father away, and told them to go on a tour, so he would go to the Demon Palace to celebrate the New Year. Anyway, aren't he going to have a wedding banquet! After the New Year, we went north from the Demon Palace to Heifeng City and then back to Kaifeng."
Everyone opened their mouths wide, wouldn’t they have to leave for more than half a year?
Bao Yan was helpless, "The emperor asked my father and the Grand Master to come back during the palace examination next year. Don't rush to stroll slowly. If you have any questions, please leave with confidence!"
Everyone looked at the sky, Zhao Zhen was so angry.
"What are they quarrels about?" Bai Yutang was a little curious.
"It seems to be for the transfer of Liangzhe Road..." Before Pang Yu finished speaking, a voice of speaking came from outside. After hearing the movement, Lord Bao and the Grand Master came back together.
Everyone heard the Grand Master complaining all the way, "It's all your fault! You can't give in to me, right now!"
Lord Bao was not outdone, "Isn't it you who started this matter? Do you blame me?"
"I don't care! I can't celebrate the New Year with my granddaughter!" The Grand Tutor gasped, "I'm so old that I still have to follow you to travel!"
"It will be good for you to run more! Look at your belly!" Lord Bao didn't forgive him, "You run too little on weekdays."
"What did you say!" The Grand Master was angry, "I am just a little fat!"
Lord Bao looked at his belly with disgust, "Look at your stubborn belly, you're so embarrassed to say you're slightly fat!"
"I'm the general's belly!"
"You're so big!"
...
The two of them came in without giving in to each other's words. When they looked up, they saw many people.
Everyone sighed, these two must have had a deep hatred in their previous lives!
Lord Bao looked at the sun. It was already past noon, so why didn’t the meal start?
"Have you all eaten?" Lord Bao seemed to be hungry.
The Grand Master also asked, "Is it time to eat? What should I eat for lunch today?"
Lord Bao looked at him with disgust, "You go back to your Taishi Mansion to eat delicacies, don't eat free meals in my Qingshui Yamen!"
The Grand Master blew his beard, "Your yamen has clear water but the food is not clear water at all! It's better than the food in the imperial kitchen!"
Everyone silently held their foreheads. Kaifeng Mansion did have good food. First, the kitchen aunt had good skills, and second, the fifth master wanted to feed the cats."
Pang Yu and Bao Yan quickly went up to persuade the fight, separated the two, and the maids came to serve tea.
Everyone here ate lunch outside. The kitchen aunt was very anxious to leave, and the maids and servants had eaten it. There was nothing in the kitchen now.
It happened that Hou Yin and Tianzun were back, and both of them had no meals.
Bai Yutang asked someone to get some wine and food. Just put it in the yard, Long Qiaoguang and Zou Liang came back with some wild game. Lin Yehuo grabbed a pheasant leg and chewed it happily, so he had just hunted.
Everyone simply sat in the yard, roasted wild game and had to drink, and chat for a while.
Lord Bao and Taishi stared at each other while having dinner.
Zhan Zhao poured wine for the two of them, and was quite curious, "Why did the quarrel start?"
The Grand Master curled his lips and said, "I'm also blamed for being too verbally."
Lord Bao squinted his eyes and looked at him, that's what he meant - you'd admit it!
Everyone looked at each other and asked in detail the reason.
It turned out that when I was in court this morning, Zhao Zhen shook a memorial and asked, "Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
All the ministers wondered where there was a sudden vacancies in the official position and needed someone to recommend?
Zhao Zhen did have a headache in the morning. He had a cold these days, and Gongsun prescribed medicine for him and took it to get better. However, Gongsun told him to go to bed early at night and to rest on weekdays. But the emperor also had a lot of things to do, especially during the Chinese New Year, it was cold in winter, and there were some snow disasters and frost damage in various places. In the past few days, the empress dowager took Xiangxiang to Nan'an Temple to stay for two days to pray for blessings. Zhao Zhen thought about his daughter so much that he couldn't sleep at night, so he went around to make trouble. Originally, when he had a headache, Xiangxiang rubbed his hands and he would be better, but his daughter had to go back to the palace tomorrow. Zhao Zhen turned his fingers and hoped that life would pass quickly.
I was already annoyed, but I suddenly received a memorial last night, which made Zhao Zhen not sleep well all night.
This memorial was written by Huang Tong, the Liangzhe Road Transport Author. The Liangzhe Road Transport Author is in charge of the important tasks in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and his official position is very important. Huang Tong is just fifty years old this year and is very capable and steady. Zhao Zhen has always been very relieved. However, Huang Tong suddenly wrote a memorial to resign, saying that his mother was sick, and Huang Tong was the most filial. The doctor said that his mother should not live for two years, so he stopped working as an official at any time, and said that he would go back to the countryside to accompany my mother to be filial.
This kind of filial piety is the first priority, so Zhao Zhen naturally couldn't stop him, but in a while, he would find a suitable person to take over as the transferee of the two Zhejiangs.
In addition, Huang Tong has an advantage. He is a top martial arts scholar and has excellent kung fu. There are many sects in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and ordinary civil officials can't control the matter at all. Moreover, Huang Tong also wrote a special note on his beating watch, saying that some big sects seem to be wrong recently, and there are rumors that several murders have occurred in the martial arts world, but they do not report them secretly, as if they are attentive. Huang Tong originally wanted to investigate this matter carefully, but his mother was suddenly ill, so he suggested that Zhao Zhen should choose a smart and smart official who is proficient in martial arts to take a look.
Zhao Zhen was almost blown up... He knew a lot of smart, smart and proficient in martial arts! There were a lot of people in Kaifeng Prefecture, but unfortunately none of them wanted to be an official! Zhao Zhen sometimes dreamed that it would be great if Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Lin Yehuo and Gongsun and others were willing to join the court to become officials! But just think about it, the gap between reality and ideals is too big. Anyway, these people are willing to help him instead of going against him, so he, the emperor, is already very satisfied.
Zhao Zhen also asked casually in the court.
Some court officials responded, saying that they were chatting with several officials from Suzhou a while ago, and they all complained that there were too many sects in the martial arts world and that there were often conflicts between several major gangs, and they couldn't control them. People didn't take the government seriously. These court officials had a strong nose, and they all had a premonition that something might happen. Huang Tong was also a sensation, probably because he felt that he could not control it. It was better to leave as a best strategy, but it was obvious that the situation was not good.
Zhao Zhen rubbed his temples and nodded, "Would you guys have any good candidates to recommend?"
So, the ministers began to recommend people in a long and talkative manner.
Zhao Zhen felt his ears buzzing and his head was swelling.
At this time, the Grand Master suggested, "Why would you like to find someone to take care of it for the time being?"
Zhao Zhen held his chin and said, "Precaution for the time being?"
The Grand Master looked at Bao Da Ren, calm and unconscious, and seemed to not want to ask about this matter. He came up with a bad intention and started the lecture. He said that after the New Year, Kaifeng Prefecture would continue to go on a patrol? Why not go to Suzhou Prefecture to take a look and ask Zhan Guards to find out what the relationship between the sects and the government over there is? Then decide according to the situation.
Lord Bao squinted his eyes and looked at Master Pang, that's what bad idea you, fat man, came up with? After the New Year, he rushed to the Demon Palace to attend the wedding. He also took the tour according to the dragon pattern. He went there only if he had a case. Why did he go there without a case? The route has not been planned yet, so you can cause trouble!
All the ministers in the court knew that the Grand Tutor wanted to drive Lord Bao to Suzhou Prefecture. As soon as Lord Bao left, no one would take care of him in Kaifeng Prefecture and he was more comfortable.
Zhao Zhen touched his chin and thought it was a solution.
Lord Bao also started the work and said that he would investigate the case when he was on a tour, so it would be better to let the Taishi go to Liangzhe and manage his official duties for a few days and select officials from the local area, so that locals can manage it.
Zhao Zhen then touched his chin, and this proposal was also good.
When the Grand Master heard that he wanted to go by himself, he hurriedly said, "It would be better to go by Lord."
Lord Bao was not willing to let him go, "It is more appropriate for the Grand Tutor to go."
All the ministers in the court watched the fun and a few helped to instigate him, so the Grand Master and Lord Bao started arguing again.
Nangong Ji and Eunuch Chen stood next to the screen behind the dragon chaise. When they saw Zhao Zhen’s shoulders trembling, holding his forehead and lowering his head, he was lucky. He knew that the two old ministers were going to be in trouble again. A while ago, the emperor planned to chase them out on a patrol. He was so quiet for a few days, so he came to his door by himself.
Sure enough, Zhao Zhen threw the note in his hand on Long Shu's desk and said, "Don't argue, let's go together, the two dear friends.
Lord Bao and the Grand Master were no longer quarreling, and they looked at each other - right? Come again?
The court was silent for a moment. Zhao Zhen felt that his head suddenly didn't hurt so much at this moment. He was sure again! The premise of his "rest" was to drive away these two troublemakers.
Zhao Zhen thought to do this! So he slapped his sleeves and said, "The two dear friends have their own strengths and should work together. Let's do this. I'll prepare for the next two days and set off the south the day after tomorrow. Anyway, don't you also go to the Demon Palace for a wedding banquet? Take some gifts for me. The Demon Palace is so close to Suzhou Prefecture, and you may as well stay for a few more days. So, go to the Demon Palace for the New Year and help me see the situation in Suzhou Prefecture. I recommend a suitable candidate to take over the position of Transportation Envoy. Don't rush back after the New Year. Go north and go out to patrol the old cases in the Dragon Pattern Paper. Go to Heifeng City for a walk, and come back when you enter the autumn palace examination."
Lord Bao and Master Pang opened their mouths wide-Ha?
Zhao Zhen looked at the expressions of the two people and felt relieved, and the headache was getting better, so he flicked his sleeves and said, "It's settled!"
Eunuch Chen slowly replied, "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do.
All the ministers lowered their heads and held back their laughter.
Lord Bao and Taishi were stunned.
After Zhao Zhen issued the order, he ran away and enjoyed the wonderful time of the afternoon!
Everyone was speechless after learning about the incident - it seemed like this was the case every time. Lord Bao and the Grand Master quarreled up, and then Zhao Zhen packed them and drove them away together. These two people were also the best smart people in the world, so why didn’t they remember the lesson? What time has this been?!
Mrs. Bao was quite happy, saying that it would be better to go to the south for the New Year and could go back to her hometown in Luzhou.
Everyone discussed it and went to the Demon Palace to join us. It would be better to go south together and celebrate the New Year at the Demon Palace. Then after having wedding banquets, head north, go to Xiankong Island and then head to Heifeng City, and finally go to Demon City, walk all the way, and stay in each place for a while.
Xiao Sizi thinks this is the best. Everyone can celebrate the New Year together and separate the loneliness of the whole world.
Anyway, the chef of Kaifeng Mansion also ran away, so Lord Bao simply asked everyone to prepare and go out for a tour south to celebrate the New Year!
This makes the happiest person naturally Zhang Zhao, and this incident happened so he took the time to tell Lord Bao about the matter that Tan Shaoyan asked him to help investigate.
Lord Bao felt that something was strange. Huang Tong also wrote on his beating table that he was very worried about the situation between several gangs recently. He took this opportunity to investigate.
So, leave as soon as you say it!
