"When I return to Your Highness, Zhang Shun and his family were quietly arranged by me to go to Jingnan South Road. According to the itinerary, there was a storm on the Han River two days ago, and the whole family fell into the water... and died."
Yu Huatian glanced at Zhao Si, who was silent, and continued: "It seems that he should be fished out and reported to Qianjiang County, Jiangling Prefecture."
Zhao Si turned his head and stared at Yu Huatian, his eyes seemed to be urging something.
Yu Huatian felt panicked for no reason, and his speaking speed also increased.
"Not far upstream is the Jingmen Army. Xie Changlin, the commander-in-chief, is Princess Shen's eldest brother. The corresponding clues and evidence have been arranged by the younger one. They are all in accordance with His Highness's instructions. They seem to be there but not there, vaguely..."
After listening to Yu Huatian's words, Zhao Si remained silent for a while and then nodded, "Hua Yu, you did a good job. It was good to bury them alive."
"As you command!"
"Who is looking for Zhang Shun these days?"
"Going back to Your Highness, there are people from the Imperial City Department, people from Prince Shen and Prince Duan's palaces, and a man named Li Xin from Zhongshu Province. I checked quietly and found out that he may be a member of Xianggong Zhang."
"I am not mistaken. Zhang Shun was most likely bribed by Brother Twelve."
"His Royal Highness was still more skilled. He asked the younger one to send people to disguise themselves and deceive Zhang Shun's family first."
"Yes. And my eleventh brother has a very good nose. There must be a spy in the twelfth brother's house. It's strange. Could it be that my eleventh brother has a capable person behind his back?"
When Yu Huatian heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Your Highness, please give me a little more time. I will definitely be able to arrange a job in Prince Duan's Mansion, as well as in the Mansion of Prince Shen, Prince Shen and Prince Hu."
"Huatian, this matter is not urgent. Just handle it calmly." Zhao Si consoled him.
Yu San did not change his name to Yu Huatian in vain. He is really a good player in Qiandong Factory.
Extraordinary talent!
"It's Your Highness!"
"Why did Mr. Zhang get involved? He really cares about every detail." Zhao Si muttered, then asked, "Who will I see next?"
"Your Highness, there are three people in total."
"Ye Shi, courtesy name Shizhi, is 27 years old, from Mingzhou. Su Xingfang, courtesy name Shouzhi, is from Denglai, 25 years old. These two are good at doing business, but they don't have enough capital or good connections.
So I have been dormant."
"Fan Donghai, nameless, twenty-four years old. He was originally the leader of the Runzhou navy. He sailed ships to Mingzhou, Mizhou, Citong, Panyu and other places all year round. For some reason, he hated his superiors and was assigned to the canal transport service as a boatman.
I stayed in Chenliu for more than half a year in a daze."
"Your Highness, I have thoroughly investigated the family backgrounds of the three of them. Their abilities have been confirmed by many sources and I have seen them with my own eyes. Only then did I dare to bring them to His Highness."
"Okay, Hua Yu, thank you for your hard work. After finishing these things, you have to continue to work hard. Things are complicated, so you have to worry more."
To have soldiers, you need to have money.
Trading companies must be established. While making money, they are also preparing for economic reforms after they ascend the throne.
Li is only one candidate, and the talents of Youtai people must be fully utilized. But eggs cannot be put in one basket, and several more candidates must be found.
Thanks to Yu Huatian's ability, I don't know where to find these suitable candidates.
After finishing this work, he will also help himself to investigate the current situation of craftsmen, shipyards and shipwrights in the Song Dynasty.
It was really hard on him.
From now on, as long as he does not exceed his own bottom line, he will definitely get along with him as a king and his ministers, starting well and ending well.
"It is a small honor to work for His Highness. I dare not betray the king's orders." Yu Huatian replied respectfully.
Zhao Si let out a long sigh and said, "Time waits for me!"
It was already an hour after meeting the three people.
Zhao Si, who was a little tired, headed back home. As soon as he reached Panlou Street, he was stopped by someone.
"Your Highness King Jian, I am hosting a banquet at Pan Tower, and I would like to invite you to come."
Zhao Si is riding on a tall horse, holding the reins with his right hand and holding the horizontal sword at his waist with his left hand. He is lying like a tiger and a bear.
He looked at the four people in front of him with stern eyes, his expressions were cold, and the air around him was several degrees colder than other places.
Among the people who blocked the car, the three behind them silently took half a step back. Only the one in front continued to push forward.
"I would also like to invite His Highness Prince Jian to take the time to attend the banquet. It is a great honor for me, Your Majesty."
It wasn't that Zhao Si was pretending to be cold, but he felt that the person in front of him looked very familiar, and he couldn't remember which family he was with. He wanted to ask out loud, but he was afraid of revealing his fault.
If he didn't know who the visitor was, he certainly didn't know who his master was. If he didn't know who was inviting him, Zhao Si certainly didn't know how to respond.
You idiot! You keep saying "I am my lord" over and over again, but you should give me a name! You might as well give me a surname to remind me.
Yu Huatian rode his horse forward, half a horse behind Zhao Si, and asked in a loud voice: "I wonder why Wang Duwei invited your Highness?"
"Your Highness will find out when he gets there."
Zhao Si looked at Yu Huatian and nodded.
After being reminded like this, I finally remembered.
Wang Duwei was his uncle Wang Shen. The princess of Shu he admired was the sister of his cheap father Song Shenzong. Therefore, everyone from his father to his brother treated him well.
This person is good at painting landscapes and is good at words and prose. He had little contact with me in the past and had a close relationship with Brother Eleven.
I suddenly had a banquet today, there must be something going on.
Zhao Si's heart suddenly moved, and he roughly guessed what was going on.
He raised his head and said loudly: "Since uncle invites me, let me lead the way."
"Thank you, Your Highness King Jian! Please!"
Pan Tower is on the left side of Zuoye Gate in the Imperial City, facing the East Corner Tower.
The building is tall and majestic. The jade balustrades and red railings are connected to each other. It is surrounded by four circles, and the rooms are connected by themselves. Thousands of doors are shining in gold and jade.
What impressed Zhao Si the most was that the entire Pan Building was covered with lanterns. You can imagine that at night, when the lights are brightly lit, the entire building will turn into a big lantern.
It's just that it's not yet noon, and it's in broad daylight.
Standing downstairs, Zhao Si heard the faint laughter of the guests upstairs, as well as the delicate laughter of the ladies, which made Zhao Si couldn't help but think of that classic saying.
"Spring is here, everything revives, and it's the mating season for animals."
Zhao seemed to be thinking with some malice, whether having fun in broad daylight at the entrance of the palace would give him the same pleasure as dancing on a grave.
Seeing Zhao Si looking up at the door but not moving forward silently, the attendant at the Royal Palace was a little anxious.
He stepped forward willingly to urge him. But looking at Zhao Si's majestic figure and the horizontal sword at his waist, he became timid again.
Fortunately, Zhao Si only paused for a moment and continued walking forward.
Going up the stairs and walking down the corridor, you can hear the sound of strings and beautiful singing.
"I take a pillow and enjoy the spring day and noon. I dream of entering the Chinese arms and encountering a flying couple. The charming green chariot is silent and sad, and the colored paper leaves me with new and strange sentences. Wherever Xu Fang's heart has not complained, the wind blows the bamboos, and they are scattered without trace.
Where! I am so melancholy that I can’t keep Chu Yun, and I stare at Gaotang Road with a broken heart.”
There are three sighs in one song, and several folds in one chant.
As clear and graceful as a stream, as silly and resentful as a night complaint, and as lingering as a spider's thread.
In the last sentence, it is like a rope thrown from the top of a tall building, straight up into the sky, as high as it can be. Then it slowly falls, like the wind blowing silk, with only a few fluff, lingering and lingering, and the aftertaste is hard to disappear.
After the song had finished for dozens of breaths, there was a sudden burst of cheers, which made all the doors and windows of Pan Tower rattle.
The group of people followed him up to the top floor and walked to the door of the most luxurious attic suite. Zhao seemed to hear the wild voices of men and women inside.
Those people in front are still playing art after all, but you are so impatient and vulgar?
The personal attendant was about to knock on the door to report, but Zhao Si opened the door unceremoniously and went straight in.
There were nearly ten people inside, four were men and the rest were singers.
The man in the corner was writhing with a singer. The specific situation was indescribable, and the wild noises were made by them.
A man and a 20-year-old appliqué singer were near the window, with their faces touching and their bodies squeezed together. The woman was holding the man's neck, and the man was holding the woman's waist, and they were looking out the window together.
They were laughing and clinging to each other, wanting to melt into each other's bodies.
They were completely immersed in their own world and turned a deaf ear to everything else.
A man in the distance, who seemed to have drunk too much, was sitting on the couch, leaning against the backrest, with his eyes dazed and his head lowered. A singer massaged his head and back and looked over after hearing the sound.
Nearby is a man in white robe, with disheveled hair, lying on the ground. There is a singer on the left and right, one is giving candied fruit, and the other is giving him wine. He is very happy.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and glanced, and when he saw it was Zhao Si, he jumped up.
He flipped his long hair from side to side and threw it all back.
Zhao Si also saw the face of this person clearly. He was a good friend of his uncle Wang Shen and his eleventh brother Zhao Ji, Li Gonglin and Li Boshi, also known as Longmian Jushi.
You are fifty years old and you are still having so much fun!
Look at what you look like now. Apart from wearing a Song Dynasty robe, your whole temperament and spirit are different from that of an old hippie.
Li Gonglin shook his broad sleeves and asked carelessly.
"But Zhao Shisan, who is called Captain Rabbit 2 when he walks on horseback and hunts rabbits, and calls him Captain Rabbit 2 by waving flags and rowing boats, is called Overboard Commander 2?"
1. The lady in the Song Dynasty really meant that.
2. When Zhao Si was one year old, he was given the name Si and was awarded the title of Inspector of Schools. In March of the fifth year of Shaosheng's reign (1098), he left the cabinet and was appointed Henghai as the military governor of the navy, so Li Gonglin took this opportunity to ridicule him. This chapter has been completed!
