Chapter 775: Meeting in the Palace

The three gunboats sailed into the harbor. Under the guidance of the water digger, the huge hull was marked with water marks and docked on several trestles. Then, a team of lieutenants boarded a sampan and connected the trestle, and many people came down in straw raincoats.

There may not be any danger when sailing in heavy rain, but the bumps are certain. The water digger stared at the person who was on the pier through the mist, and finally saw a familiar figure.

Chen Ao was wearing a straw raincoat, and someone on both sides protected him on the trestle and walked out step by step. He seemed in a bad mood, but his steps were quite light. He reached the dock and asked someone to prepare a carriage and horse.

Because he came back suddenly, no one came to greet him. The carriage was borrowed at the dock. Chen Ao went in, sighed heavily, and sat in the carriage. He couldn't help but think: "I am back again!"

"Haizhengyamen." Chen Ao sat in the car and approached the coachman.

Quanzhou was washed clean by a rain. Chen Ao gently lifted the curtain and looked at the backward street scene. At so long, the carriage stopped and Chen Ao got out of the carriage. The walking captain immediately went to the side of the carriage to help him down. Chen Ao shook his head, jumped off the carriage, and said, "No need to help."

At the gate of the Haizheng Yamen, several clerks were standing listlessly. The vassal kings did not come, and there was no official business today. The sky was gloomy and most of them would not have any major events. So they all looked lazy, and they really couldn't stand up in such an early morning.

When Chen Ao appeared, the officers couldn't help but rub their eyes. One of them seemed to see a ghost, pointed at Chen Ao and couldn't speak. The other woke up and shouted, "Note." He even forgot to salute Chen Ao, and quickly turned in.

After a while, Wu Wencai quickly walked out. Because he was walking quickly, he was almost mixed with something under his feet. The worker next to him held him and did not fall.

Chen Ao walked over. When Wu Wencai approached Chen Ao, he almost grabbed Chen Ao's hand and said, "Your Highness, it's good to come back!"

He looked at the group of dusty lieutenants behind Chen Ao, and must have expected something, and said, "Let's go, sit inside first." He walked side by side with Chen Ao, and said, "Your Majesty has arrived in Quanzhou and lives in the Haizheng Office, but Your Majesty doesn't have to rush to see you. At this time, Your Majesty may not be able to get up early."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is here too, this is great."

Wu Wencai said: "Why didn't the navy even send back military information when it was on an expedition? Could it be that something happened?"

Chen Ao said: "I came back to convey the news in advance. The navy was still on the rules, so I took the gunboat and came back to report on the military information first."

When Chen Ao and Wu Wencai both entered the hall, Wu Wencai's face changed and she said, "What's going on in the Vietnam War?"

Chen Ao said seriously: "First I took Chameng, then went north and took off Shenglong. More than 300 members of the Yue Kingdom's royal family had been taken on the boat. After returning to Quanzhou, he would then make the Zhengdian punishment."

Wu Wencai couldn't help but rub his hands and said, "Take it serious?"

Chen Ao smiled: "What's there to be fake?"

Wu Wencai said: "When Your Highness came back, the people of Quanzhou were panic, especially the vassal kings, who were even more swaying from side to side..." He told the story of Prince Nunu.

Chen Ao heard this and smiled and said, "Prince Nunu, why did his father give such a name that he deserves to be beaten? You don't have to tell me about this matter. Since he has pleaded guilty and instigated someone to commit crimes in the street, I, the Great Song Dynasty, will make the judgment as much as I should."

Wu Wencai's face suddenly changed: "Your Highness means..."

Chen Ao was sitting in a dangerous position: "The prince violated the law and the common people's crimes. I have nothing to say, but I just teach you how to do things according to the rules."

"But..." Wu Wencai smiled bitterly: "Last night, many vassal kings went to the prefect's office to visit the prince at night to see what these vassal kings mean..."

Chen Ao thought for a while: "You said that, I want to see what those vassal kings mean. Let me leave this matter to me to deal with. Your Majesty was very angry with Prince Nunu? This is good. We are ministers, and the king is worried and the minister is tired, and the king is humiliated and died. I will come back and make him happy."

When Chen Ao came back, Wu Wencai felt half relieved. Coupled with the victory of the navy, he also had confidence. He smiled and said, "Okay, everything is up to Your Highness. These vassal states have disturbed Quanzhou. You should clean up your mind. Maybe it will make them more restrained."

Chen Ao and Wu Wencai were talking in unison. When they talked about Ma Yinglong, Wu Wencai smiled and said, "I have made Lord Ma very angry these two days. Now that your highness is back, everything is fine."

Chen Ao took a sip of tea, and a deep luster flashed in his eyes: "It's good to have a breath, but it's just to lead a snake out of the hole. Which ones are devoted to the Song Dynasty and which are both ends of the rat? Today's diary is clear. If the sea politicians go deeper, some people will cry and some will laugh. In addition to the grace of the rain and dew, they will also have thunder and thunder."

It was already Chen Shi, and Quanzhou was actually sunny. The strong wind silenced. The warm sun shone down. Through the pane, Chen Ao's face shone a little red. Chen Ao stood up and said, "It's not too early, and I should go to see you. I will also think about this matter with Lord Wu. Lord Wu, say goodbye."

Wu Wencai quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness said this, but bad things have become good things, and I can hear the officials deaf and shock."

Chen Ao smiled faintly: "Many words seem reasonable, but most people cannot do it. Some dare not, and some are willing but powerless. Mr. Wu actually thought that it was just inappropriate. Then I will do it. I will never think of it in this life. I will be destined to be misunderstood. So it doesn't matter if I have a little more infamous." Chen Ao stretched comfortably, felt a little tired, and smiled faintly at Wu Wencai: "You don't have to send it here. This is a few steps away from the palace. I will walk by myself."

Zhao Ji actually wakes up early in the morning every day. This book is different from his living habits, but he is taking pills recently. This pill is best taken with dew in the morning. When the dew is picked, it is sometimes fresh, and it becomes dirty when it passes. Therefore, Zhao Ji tried to get up early and only had to eat after taking pills.

The anger of anger had not subsided yesterday, so after breakfast, Yang Jian saw that the weather had cleared up, so he said carefully: "Your Majesty, it's good today. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Zhao Ji shook his head: "No need, I'm exhausted and I don't feel like this. I'll ask someone to buy a Suiya Weekly magazine. I'll read it later."

He suddenly said, "Why does Zhao Ziheng always hide? After all, he is my nephew. How can I not see anyone in three days? When I get here, I always have to look at her."

Yang Jian said in his heart that Princess Qinghe ran to the painting workshop and the clothing shop all day long, so why would he be willing to come to see him? But of course he did not dare to say this sentence, and said with awkward smile: "Maybe he has become a wife and has a shy mind."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't cover it up for her. I know that he went to the painting workshop. Everyone said that the painting workshop is a good place, but I haven't gone there. If you have time, please accompany me."

The so-called painting workshop is actually similar to the wholesale market of calligraphy and painting. However, the calligraphy and paintings in it are uneven. Some original works by celebrities are mostly fakes, or some scholars who are interested in life make calligraphy and paintings and sell them to classics. The most interesting thing here is the wide range of calligraphy and paintings. It is said that more than tens of thousands of calligraphy and paintings are sold in a day. In addition to some experts who want to buy some original works, some people buy them back to decorate the halls, and many foreigners also visit them. Many foreigners always bring some souvenirs when they return to China. Other things are too vulgar, and only these calligraphy and paintings are always unrelated to vulgarity.

Yang Jian responded, his eyes rolled, and said, "I am afraid that I can't let Your Majesty enjoy the fun. It would be more interesting to wait for the King of Pingxi to come back and accompany Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji also showed expectation and sighed, "I'm afraid I won't come back so soon. Alas, the army is on the expedition. If something really happens, it will be different from the enemy..." He felt that this word was unlucky, so he immediately stopped his words and continued, "Okay, there is no business here, so there is no need to serve you, you can go and take a break."

Yang Jian agreed.

At this time, someone outside shouted, "It's clear, who would like to dry clothes together?"

When Zhao Ji heard Shen Ao's voice, he thought he had heard it wrong, and said calmly: "Who is making a loud noise?"

Yang Jian said: "Who is not King Pingxi? Oh, is he back?"

Zhao Ji was also stunned and said in his heart, why did he come back so quickly, saying, "It's a natural thing to say that he came in, the prince, how could he be shouting outside?"

Yang Jian jogged over and saw Shen Ao wearing a costume and a Jindeguan, and smiled and winked at him: "Hello, Lord Taishan, I haven't seen him for so many days, Lord Taishan has lost weight. What's going on?"

When Yang Jian saw him smiling, he also laughed: "Stop talking, Your Majesty asks you to go in."

Shen Ao smiled and whispered: "Are you interested in Yue's agate? I'll send you a few kilograms tomorrow."

Yang Jian took a cold breath and said, "How many pounds..."

There are not many agate produced in the Song Dynasty, so naturally things are precious because they are rare. Usually, one or two of them are worth hundreds of cents, but Shen Ao is just as good as a person, and he can take a few pounds at a time. It's really horrible.

Yang Jian also lowered his voice, afraid that Zhao Ji inside would hear it, and said, "Where did it come from?"

Shen Ao said in a heavy tone: "If you don't accept it from friends in Yue, people will say that you are not favored. Alas, why do you always meet so many uncontrollable people? It makes you feel like your son-in-law is full of greed, and the heart of a villain is the heart of a villain."

Yang Jian smiled and asked more questions, "Go in, Your Majesty is in a hurry to see you."

Chen Ao stepped in and saw Zhao Ji sitting on the desk with a calm face. He immediately understood in his heart. At this time, the more calm Zhao Ji was, the more he was the happiest time. So he immediately bowed: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhao Ji fucked the case: "I want to live longer, but if I hit you, I will be angry to death even if I can live my life."

Chen Ao raised his eyes and said in surprise: "Why did Your Majesty say this?"

Zhao Ji said, "You sit down and talk first."

Chen Ao sat down loudly. Zhao Ji looked at his sitting posture and showed a knowing smile. No one in this world who sat down next to Zhao Ji was sitting gently on a corner, owing his butt, looking very nervous. But Chen Ao didn't know whether it was really stupid or fake. He asked him to sit, but he didn't even mean to sit politely, and even put his legs up.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to scold, "If you want to sit, sit, don't hold your feet."

Chen Ao had to put his feet down and put his hands on his knees, showing a rare look of honesty.

Zhao Ji said: "What's going on invading Yue?"

Zhao Ji actually had no hope for attacking Yue. Chen Ao came back so early, but it only took more than two months to go from Quanzhou to Dayue, and it took more than a month to go back and forth. The huge Yue Kingdom could not be conquered in more than a month. The only explanation was that the navy returned in a defeated way and had to retreat first.

Although Zhao Ji was unhappy, he finally felt a little relieved when he saw Chen Ao Ping'an coming back. Thinking about waiting for Chen Ao to say his hardships with a bitter face, he comforted him a few words.
