In the morning of the next day, according to what Feng Bogong said, the envoys from the country had already arrived at the post house.
The Liliang Poetry Society is also already in preparation.
In the evening, it was the day when the Liliang Poetry Society was held.
As a grand event held every four years, there were many people participating this time.
In addition to the talented people from the four major academies, many wealthy families will come to this grand event this time.
Sometimes after the imperial examination, someone would catch the son-in-law.
And in this poetry gathering, there is also such a custom.
When I see those talented people, some aristocratic families will compete with each other.
The Liliang Poetry Society is planned to be held on the bank of Yueyu Lake in Kyoto City, which is not far from the Imperial City.
Zhu Youde also had to participate in the poetry meeting, which has always been a common practice.
Zhu Youde did not object, but he was thinking about another thing.
The morning court ended quickly, and Zhu Youde did not return to the imperial study. Instead, he returned to the palace first, preparing to leave the palace again.
Luo Xian stayed in the palace first, and Zhu Youde would come back at noon. In the past few days, without Zhang Yuanhai in the court, things had become much less frequent.
At least without him causing trouble for himself, those in Zhang Dang would not be able to cause any trouble.
Regarding Zhu Youde's attitude, he gradually began to obey his advice.
Of course, even so, Zhu Youde couldn't believe them that much.
Zhu Youde has not forgotten what they did before.
If you really believe what they say, you might actually be sending yourself into a trap.
Zhu Youde went out this time because he wanted to see the details of the envoy from the country first.
It is rumored that the talented girl from Liguo is both talented and beautiful, and can even be called the most beautiful woman from Liguo.
Of course, apart from that, Zhu Youde still has to go out and look for Zheng Ling'er.
It was already agreed when we left yesterday.
I don’t know if Zheng Ling’er has found any evidence now.
After leaving the city, Zhu Youde went straight to the pawn shop.
When Zhu Youde came to the pawn shop, the first thing he saw was Zheng Ling'er sitting in the inner hall.
At this time, after seeing Zhu Youde, Zheng Ling'er seemed to have something wrong on her face.
After calming down for a while, he walked forward nervously: "Thank you for this, thank you for this..."
Zhu Youde naturally knew what he was thanking, so he waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this. These are all my actions. Well... I should do it."
"By the way, I asked you to find out some information. Did you get some information?" Zhu Youde asked again at this time.
Zheng Ling'er nodded: "I have also visited nearby prefectures and counties in the past two days, and I found that something is indeed not quite right."
"Nowadays, the price of food and rice in nearby prefectures and counties is extremely strange, mainly because it is too cheap. On weekdays, one stone of rice is about one tael of silver, but now that there are so many refugees, one stone of rice has already gone up.
It reached five taels of silver, but recently it has dropped to two taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youde also noticed something was wrong.
Although the autumn harvest has passed, today is not a good harvest year.
The price of rice will probably drop, but it won’t be so outrageous.
The reason for the drop in rice prices is most likely that new grain has entered their hands.
As for those who sell the food, they are basically from aristocratic families.
There are always some ties between these aristocratic families and Zhang Yuanhai.
In this case, it is basically certain that Zhang Yuanhai has a lot to do with this matter.
In fact, he had already begun to confirm this before.
However, this matter must be empty talk.
If you want to solve this matter, you must find a certificate.
But at present, Zhu Youde does not have any proof, so he can only wait and see.
However, Zhu Youde has already agreed to let Zheng Ling'er keep an eye on her during this period.
After all, once something goes wrong in these matters, it may not be that simple if he wants to investigate further.
After all, he also knew that those aristocratic families were somewhat cunning and cunning.
Most of the families mentioned this time are business families.
And some of these business families actually want to seek status in politics.
This society's view of businessmen is actually the same as Zhu Youde's previous life in ancient times.
After all, in an agricultural society, the status of businessmen is definitely not high.
"By the way, there is something I want to tell you. Be careful tonight."
Zheng Ling'er, who was still hesitant at first, finally decided to speak.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Youde was a little surprised.
"Tonight, someone may attack you, so you have to be careful. Isn't there some kind of poetry meeting?" Zheng Ling'er said.
Zhu Youde naturally understood what she meant. There was a high probability that someone from Zhongyi Hall was going to take action.
"Why are you telling me this?" Zhu Youde raised his eyebrows at Zheng Ling'er.
Zheng Ling'er seemed embarrassed at this time, and said slowly: "I feel that you may be a good emperor now, but if it were someone else, maybe you wouldn't be as good as you."
When she finished saying this, Zheng Ling'er's face was already red.
Looking at Zheng Ling'er with peach-like cheeks, Zhu Youde's heart palpitated for some reason.
Zheng Ling'er seemed to feel that this sentence was a bit wrong, and then said: "I'm just saying that the things you did are good, but you are still a bad person..."
Seeing Zheng Ling'er, who was so arrogant before, now acting like a little woman, Zhu Youde couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Zheng Linger rolled her eyes and said.
Only then did Zhu Youde hold back his laughter and said seriously: "By the way, didn't someone assassinate me tonight?"
"Then why don't I go back today? Do you have time? Let's go to the banquet together." Zhu Youde thought for a moment and then said.
"Can I go there?" Zheng Ling'er seemed to be looking forward to it when she heard this.
After all, she used to be considered a lady, and she also loved poetry, songs, and the like.
Although she longed for the previous poetry gathering in her heart, she was not qualified to go there.
If this incident can be over, then it would be best.
"Of course, after all, you have helped me, but there is one thing I still want to say, do you know how to disguise yourself?" Zhu Youde asked with some expectation.
"Disguise technique?" Zheng Ling'er frowned and said, "Where is the disguise technique? You must have heard too many anecdotes about the world."
"Well, I also have other ways." Zhu Youde thought for a moment and said.
