Chapter 101 The Fourth Son of King Zhao

A Taoist temple in Changle Square next to Chang'an East City.

A wandering Taoist who was selling medicine by ringing the bell pushed open the side door and walked in. Two pilgrims who had just come out of the main hall were approached, and the old Taoist smiled and saluted them.

"Does the Taoist priest only sell medicine, or does he also see a doctor? Will he see evil spirits?" a pilgrim asked.

Before the old man could answer, the pilgrims started chattering, talking about his mother's sleeplessness and night sweats after the Lantern Festival, suspecting that he had bumped into the guest.

The old man asked him to cut a peach wood sword and hang it in the tent.

The pilgrims repeatedly asked how long the sword was cut, how long the peach wood would take, and whether it should be hung horizontally or vertically in the tent...

The old man patiently answered them one by one.

The Suzhou scholar Ji Langjun passed by them, smiled, and went straight to the backyard.

Not long after, Lao Dao also entered the hospital.

The serenity and tranquility of the front yard of the Taoist Temple are completely different in the cross-courtyard. Several "Taoist priests" who are Confucian and powerful are guarding the entrance and the courtyard. When the old Taoist came in, they all crossed their hands and saluted.

The old Taoist came to the door of the house, and a handsome boy opened the curtain for him.

Ji Langjun was sitting on the couch drinking hot ginger and buttermilk. Seeing Lao Dao come in, he asked sarcastically, "A is very curious, does Duke Qiao really know how to catch demons?"

Lao Dao accepted the kind and easy-going outside, and gave him a solemn look, "Shiro went to the Shenji wine shop again today?"

"Yes." Ji Langjun replied indifferently.

The old Taoist took a slow breath and advised, "Your Majesty asked Shiro to come here on the flag. Shiro's status is precious, so it's better not to go to such a place where dragons and snakes are mixed."

"The one who sits on the flag..." "Ji Langjun" Li Xi smiled, "I'm still just treating me as Duke Qiao, so just treat me as a decoration."

"Shiro!" Qiao Hai frowned and looked at Li Xie, "If a certain Ruo is unfaithful to the king, God hates it!"

Li Xie smiled nonchalantly, "Someone is just talking about it, Duke Qiao shouldn't care. Duke Qiao also knows that I'm not a big deal when I'm young."

"Young people don't change" is what Qiao Hai said to Li Xie at the beginning. The king of Zhao asked Qiao Hai and other aides to comment on his four sons. Qiao Hai believed that Dalang was both straight and long, and quite talented, and could be worthy of a great job; Erlang was brave, and Saburo was sincere. Qiao Hai just smiled, "Shiro is still young, so let's look at it later." But now...

Looking at the frivolous young man in front of him, Qiao Hai suddenly had some feelings of Zhuge Wuhou, thinking about what the King of Zhao said when he came to the capital, that's all, it was all for the king's kindness.

Qiao Hai's face softened, "Shilang is young, but he is descended from a dragon and a phoenix.

Li Xie smiled proudly, took a sip from the cup, "Qiao Gong met Wang Boxen today, how is it?"

""Things are not harmonious. Originally, the emperor had already asked people to go to Shenji liquor store to buy pot soup. Who would want to be spoiled by Qin Xiang's side? "

"Guerrilla general Wu Ju said that the forbidden army wanted to buy ebony drink from Shen Ji, but Shen Ji rejected the sale on the grounds that the forbidden army was responsible for guarding the emperor and had his own rules for food procurement. He also said that if he was cautious, he would definitely I don’t want to sell hot pot soup base in the palace.”

Li Xie frowned, is that little lady so cautious?

"The emperor listened, and his words were quite commendable for Shen Ji. Wu Ju also said that Shen Ji later sold the recipe for Wumeiyin to the Imperial Army, and suggested that he should just buy the recipe for this hot pot."

Li Xing asked: "The emperor asked people to buy it?"

Qiao Hai shook his head, "The emperor said, 'It's just a matter of people's lives and lives.'"

Li Xie breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine if he didn't buy the goods. Then he thought, why is the little lady "prudent"? But it is the cunning ear of the merchant. That recipe must not be cheap, right? Or is it to hook up with the forbidden army and send personal favors? That little lady of Shen Ji is really clever...

Qiao Hai said: "It seems that it is difficult to start from this pot of soup." The palace cooks have their own rules, and it is very difficult to start with food. The things that the emperor authorized to send in from outside the palace are much simpler. . The forbidden army Wang Boxhen agreed to help. He was also a man who could call for wind and rain when he was the first emperor, but now Qin Xiang is so overwhelmed that he can't lift his head.

Li Xie said with a smile: "Qiao Gong just complained that I shouldn't go to Shen Ji. Now it seems that my Shen Ji is very suitable."

Qiao Hai raised an eyebrow at him.

"Shen Ji intends to gather today's scholars to hold a 'Blessing Banquet' before the Rites Examination. With my cousin's temperament, would you not want to come out to meet such a talented and elegant party? In a prosperous world, Wenzhi and martial arts... Ha!" Li Xing hum.

Qiao Hai also got this information about Zhu Dingyan before, but he robbed and killed the emperor outside the palace... One can imagine what kind of bloody storm will be in the capital at that time.

Qiao Hai has always been more inclined to use a more "gentle" method, rather than shouting and shouting - poisoning is already the lower limit. In the time of the first emperor, he used longevity to disturb his mind, used medicinal pills to change his temperament, used prophecies to confuse people's hearts, and stood behind the emperor's back to turn clouds and rains. .

And Li Xun was obviously happy with the party, "We lured the emperor to Shen Ji, and killed it, how neat and tidy! Waiting for Wang Boshen of the forbidden army, waiting for your old old days, waiting for us to give away a lot of money every year, but never The high-ranking officials in the DPRK who are doing things help, I'm just waiting and waiting, the emperor is more and more stable in Longting, giving birth to a bunch of children, but my father is getting sicker and older..." Li Xun rarely showed some kind of heart. , "This world should belong to my father!"

At that time, the father of King Zhao was the direct descendant, but he was very young. Jinshang's grandfather was the elder, the elder brother, "the country's chief lord". The last one who took that seat was Jinshang's ancestor.

It is said that the eldest brother and the younger brother are quite harmonious, and because of this, they sheltered the current King of Zhao who went out of Beijing to guard the northern capital for more than 20 years, and the other kings were suffocating in the capital.

Qiao Hai is too lazy to read these old yellow calendars, so what if King Zhao has no reason? How many heroes in ancient times are justifiable? When it's done, these own historians will worry about it.

"Wait until I go to Shen Ji to see it in person, and then make a decision." Qiao Hai was also somewhat moved.

He has visited Shenji twice disguised as a down-and-out man. The chronic poison was on the way, and it had little to do with Shen Ji. The reason why he went, one was cautious, and the other was the previous time when Zheng Er and others were folded in Shen Ji in Chongxian Square.

"Shiro goes to Shenji, don't show your legs." Qiao Hai went back to the topic at the beginning, looking at the brightly dressed Li Xing a little critically, "You have to pay attention to your words and deeds, the identity you are using now is a poor family. son."

Li Xie didn't take it seriously, "It's just a Shu brocade robe, the clothes of a second-class servant in the family. If you always wear that ragged child, how can you get along with that little lady?"

Qiao Hai was a little speechless. If you want to say that Shiro has any great benefits, it's just his appearance. It's unclear how many girls he was involved with when he was in the northern capital...

But Qiao Hai still advised him, "Shiro don't be careless. You forgot about Zheng Er and the others? They originally wanted to hold this little lady Shen and Jing Zhao Shaoyin, but they ended up there."

"I asked carefully, but it was because there were so many people in Jingzhao that they lost their hands. That Jingzhao Shaoyin—" Li Di pursed his lips, "Xu Zhen has two means. Madam, I've dealt with it twice, a woman's family has a little bit of cleverness from a merchant, that's all."

Li Di smiled and said to Qiao Hai: "Don't you think that Shen Ji is a dragon pond and a tiger's den, and Shen Ji's little lady is a prison veteran with a discerning eye?"

Qiao Hai thought about the charming female shopkeeper, and didn't say anything.
