Li Er pretended to divert his attention and talked about other things.
I glanced at Zhao Mu and saw that he was unmoved.
He said something about drinking and drinking to ease the awkward atmosphere.
After a few more rounds of drinking, after finishing the meal and drinking the wine, Zhao Mu stood up and stretched.
"Okay, Lao Li, there are really too many things to talk about tonight, and I'm a little sleepy after talking about them.
In this case, let's stop talking about it tonight, and it's time for me to go back to sleep.
Lao Song, it's getting late today, so you should stay in our village and have a good rest.
Don't rush back like that day when it was late at night."
Hahahaha, Magistrate Song burst out laughing and nodded.
"Mr. Zhao, wasn't there something going on that day?
I will stay in Zhaojiazhuang tonight and bother Mr. Zhao."
"You are so polite to me, you can make your own arrangements."
Zhao Mu stood up and left the restaurant with Linglong and Li Yue, preparing to go back to rest.
Only Li Er and the county magistrate were left. The two smiled at each other, and Li Er whispered something.
"Lord County Magistrate, can you go to Chang'an City tomorrow?"
"Shopkeeper Li, I happen to be planning to go to Chang'an City tomorrow to handle some matters."
"Haha, so we are just on the way."
Under the leadership of several servants, the two of them also left the place and returned to the house to rest for the night.
After breakfast the next morning, after waiting for a while in Zhaojiazhuang, Changsun Wuji rushed back from the county town.
Driving a carriage and taking His Majesty with him, we rushed towards Chang'an.
Later, officials from the government drove carriages and led the county magistrate to Chang'an.
Zhao Mu, who happened to be out for a walk, was stunned for a moment when he saw them taking a route.
I understand in a second that as an official, he is quite busy with things.
Especially since this place is relatively close to Chang'an City. Who knows if some small incident will happen one day and I will have to rush to Chang'an City in person?
“Linglong, Yue’er, the weather is better today, shall we go hunting?
Yue'er took the equipment and went up the mountain with me, while Linglong was waiting for our good news at the bottom of the mountain."
"It's the young master, Mr. Zhao."
Even if you don't go up the mountain, waiting for the young master at the foot of the mountain is a very happy thing.
Li Yue had changed her clothes. At this moment, she was very motivated and ready to go into the mountains to hunt more prey.
I haven’t hunted for a long time. If I don’t go there, I will almost forget what hunting is like.
The maid beside him also rushed over.
It's just that this time, I didn't go up the mountain with him. I followed him down the mountain and waited quietly.
"Miss Linglong?"
"Okay, don't worry. With the young master here, there won't be any danger in the mountains."
Seeing the deep love between his master and servant, the relationship between the two reminded me of the same relationship between her and the young master, didn't it?
If he didn't know the strength of his young master, he would not be in danger at all, and he would be very worried.
But now, there is nothing to worry about.
"It's Miss Linglong."
I just said it to myself, but my heart was still tight and I was praying secretly in my heart.
My young lady must not be in any danger. Oh, by the way, so is Mr. Zhao. He should also be called Young Master now.
Talk about the other side.
Li Er's carriage moved forward slowly, arrived at Chang'an City, and arrived in front of the imperial palace.
The Jinwu Guards guarding the city saw that the driver of the carriage was Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong.
He hurriedly set out on the road, after all, everyone already knew the meaning of what Duke Zhao Guogong was driving the carriage.
The carriage entered the palace and rushed towards the Tai Chi Hall.
The carriage following His Majesty was stopped just as it arrived in front of the palace.
"Who are you? What is your identity? How dare you break into the palace?"
The carriage stopped, and the county magistrate walked out and took a look at the palace.
Taking another look at the guard driving the carriage, I really wanted to kick him hard.
Although I asked him to follow the carriage in front of him, he has already reached the palace. If you still want to drive the carriage in, how many heads can you chop off?
"Attention sir, there is a misunderstanding. Your Majesty arranged for me to come to the palace.
The carriage just now was the one His Majesty asked me to follow all the way."
As he spoke, he took out the token.
When everyone saw this token, they quickly saluted.
Seeing the token is like seeing His Majesty.
"My lords, please get up quickly. I have also received your Majesty's order to come to the palace."
"My lord, please."
The yamen servant who was following him chuckled.
"Sir, please get in the car!"
Get in your car, get in your big-headed devil, we've already arrived at the palace.
Do you think you can drive a carriage into the palace like His Majesty?
I really don't have any discernment at all, if it weren't for the people who have been driving the carriage around me to handle cases in the past few days.
It's not as if someone else is driving the car. This person is very loyal, but his brain is not flexible.
"Okay, you wait outside first."
He carefully arranged his clothes, entered the palace, and saw the Jinwu guards guarding the city.
At this moment, I really want to recite a poem. With this token, it is really convenient to enter and leave the palace. I feel very beautiful at this moment.
After entering the palace, he went straight to the Tai Chi Hall. At this moment, Li Er was sitting in the Tai Chi Hall, waiting quietly.
"Where is Magistrate Song? Why is it so slow?"
"Your Majesty, maybe our carriage is too fast, so Magistrate Song hasn't caught up yet."
"It doesn't matter, just wait for him."
"It's Your Majesty."
It's just that Changsun Wuji was very confused. Why did Your Majesty wait for that county magistrate?
Could it be that the county magistrate has some business matters that he wants to explain to His Majesty, or something else?
After a moment, I heard a rush of footsteps outside. Magistrate Song entered the hall, came to the middle, and quickly saluted and knelt down to His Majesty. "I tell you, Magistrate Song, your speed is too slow. I am getting anxious while waiting."
"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I followed Your Majesty to the palace, parked the carriage outside the palace, and rushed in on foot, so the speed was relatively slow."
"Haha, what I said is, well, if the next matter is about Zhaojiazhuang, you can come to Chang'an City to see me.
I allow you to drive the carriage into the palace and come to see me quickly."
The county magistrate's eyes shone brightly, and he knelt down to thank His Majesty again for his privilege.
"Okay, get up, I'll be able to use you soon.
Where are the others, have they already gone to make arrangements?"
"Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements. It will not take long for all the princes to arrive."
Regarding the imperial examination this time, Li Erde needed to find someone to speak on his behalf, and he, the county magistrate, was the best choice.
With that said, the group of people began to wait quietly again.
At this moment, there are various palaces of the princes in Chang'an City. This morning, everyone came to the palace step by step and prepared to enter the palace.
But when I went to court today, I was told in front of the palace that His Majesty had something to do and would not go to court today.
The ministers had no choice but to leave the palace and return to their respective mansions.
But what puzzles everyone is that when this kind of thing happens, shouldn't Wei Zheng be the first to stand up and criticize His Majesty?
It's just that now Wei Zheng heard the news, didn't say anything, turned around and returned to his mansion, eating and drinking, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with him.
Could it be that he, Wei Zheng, has changed? Is it possible that he also understands the ways of the world in this court?
