I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 53 Princess
With a small hat, hairpin, gold silk embroidered clothes and a jade belt wrapped around his waist, who else could there be except Zhao Heng in the white dragon fish suit.

I was only focused on talking to my sweetheart just now, but I ignored the fact that there were many burly men with weapons hidden in the crowd watching the lanterns on the left and right.

"Your Majesty..."

Zhao Heng showed a strange expression that you are going to be unlucky, and then made a gesture of silence. The people around here are so noisy that it is not a good place to talk.

He Shao followed Zhao Heng's back with a feeling of uneasiness. It would be very embarrassing for anyone to be arrested for cheating on a girl, let alone the current emperor.

Thinking about how much shit I said just now, I would lose my head if I didn't keep it all.

"Dongfeng puts flowers and trees at night, and blows them down. The stars are like rain, and the road is full of fragrance of BMWs and carved cars! Such a good poem, even your husband can't write such a good sentence," Zhao Heng said suddenly.

"Your Majesty has won a prize"

"My concubine likes the water tune song he wrote in Dongpo Juli even more. When is the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival? Ask the sky for the wine." Liu E chanted from the side.

"That's right. When I first read this poem, I felt like it was written by an immortal. It is beautiful, majestic, romantic and unrestrained. The yearning for the bright moon, the love for the world, the unrestrained artistic conception and the language like flowing clouds and flowing water, it is not unreasonable to say that it is a posthumous poem by an immortal." Pass.

But the person who wrote this poem is a merchant who is full of money, He Shao, He Shao, sometimes I really want to see what else is in your head."

Zhao Heng is not the first person to have such an idea. The last one who wanted to cut his head off was his husband Li Hang. Afterwards, almost everyone who got close to him had this extremely dangerous idea.

"They are all good lines handed down from generation to generation. Maybe people in the future will not know my name, but they will know these two poems." Zhao Heng then changed the topic.

"But Hua Nu is my most beloved sister, and also my Princess Shouchang of the Great Song Dynasty. You don't think you can be worthy of her just by writing two lines of poems, do you?"

"My palace has a suggestion. If you enter the court as an official, with your talents and Li Xiang's blessing, you will surely be able to rise to the top. At that time, it is not impossible for His Majesty Princess Shouchang to marry you."

Conversations with the emperor are always very exciting, especially Liu E and Zhao Heng, who always want to tie him in the cover.

Whether it's Li Hang, He Shao, or Kou Zhun, these people think that he is a good official when they see his poems are good, which makes He Shao keep slandering in his heart, the reason why Song Dynasty ruled the country is literature!
"Xiaomin will use other methods to marry the princess"

"God finally gave me a genius in Song Dynasty, but I have a stinky body and don't want to be an official in the court. Is it because I have no virtue?"

He Shao looked at Zhao Heng's eyes and twitched. If he didn't show his loyalty at this time, he might not have a chance to show his loyalty.

"Your Majesty's words made He Shaocheng terrified. Although Xiaomin is no longer in court, he has been thinking hard about the world."

"Your husband, Li Hang, devoted all his life to serving the country. As his student, I thought you fell into the eyes of money, but you know how to share my worries." Zhao Heng said coldly.

"The hard thinking you're talking about isn't a pig," Liu E said with a smile.

"Xiuyi doesn't need to be so elegant, she just raises pigs!"

"He Shao, He Shao, you are really capable. You can actually let Lao Lihang, Xiang Minzhong, Tianbofu, and Wu Bingzheng, four first-rank court officials, accompany you to raise pigs. The reason you gave me is that I have no objection at all. There is no room for it." Zhao Heng laughed angrily, it was the first time in history that the officials raised pigs.

"Several prime ministers are concerned about the country and the people. To relieve His Majesty's worries, they occupy high positions and work in low jobs. Their noble morals are admirable."

He Shao hurriedly said that there are not many businesses that can earn both morality and money these days.

"What kind of people are they? I need to use your nonsense to explain? I just want to ask you, Li Han said in the report that you are sure and save 200 million yuan for the treasury every year? Is this true?"

According to He Shao's estimate of at least 500 million guan, it should be that Li Hang hugged him deliberately because he was afraid that something would go wrong.

"500 sticks!"

"He Shao, do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Liu E asked with a frown.

"behead"

"Forget it, don't scare him, I believe him. The people who went to Champa have sent back news that there are indeed two crops of rice."

This is the happiest news for Zhao Heng since he ascended the throne. It means that next year's agricultural tax will be greatly increased. At least there will be no more hungry people, and no more famines where the court can't afford a grain of food. embarrassment.

"It has been nearly 50 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Because of the successive years of fighting for food and taxation, it has always been a big problem stuck in the neck. Many capable officials in the court are helpless, but they are solved by your two crops of rice.

Your husband, Li Hang, has already made a petition for you, but he was suppressed by me. If this pig can solve the tax problem, I can think about it."

He Shao was so excited that he glanced at Zhao Yuanrui from the corner of his eye. Now that he is a merchant, he is certainly not worthy of Emperor Taizong's princess.

"Thank you Your Majesty"

After the emperor glanced at He Shao, he took Liu E and the group of guards away Wu Yangyang.

"Your Majesty, you just handed over Princess Shouchang to him," Liu E asked.

"You also know that Hua Nu has a very high vision. I have seen many courtiers say that the handsome is not in her eyes."

Zhao Yuanrui was from the same mother as him and was his youngest sister, how could Zhao Heng not feel bad, but after all, he was going to marry.

"And if this marriage is really done, He Shao will become a son-in-law, that is, a member of the Tian family. When you encounter any troubles, you will be able to drive them with confidence."

"I didn't think about it so much, no one deserves to be exchanged with my most beloved sister"

"Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty is a person who values ​​affection, and being able to marry you is the blessing of my concubine's three lives."

Seeing Liu E's eyes full of affection, no one could bear it anymore, Zhao Heng held her hand and returned to the palace with a smile.

But Zhao Yuanrui and He Shao who were left behind were a little embarrassed. He Shao himself didn't expect that the person he fell in love with was the princess?

Before He Shao heard from Li Jianzong and the others that a few years ago a princess married Li Zunxu, a courtier, and a tragedy was caused because the princess looked too much like Emperor Taizong.

Emperor Taizong had a pale face and a fat body, so Li Zunxu mingled with the princess nanny on the night of his wedding.

He Shao secretly glanced at Zhao Yuanrui again, how could the pale and fat Taizong give birth to such a beautiful daughter who could even be said to be beautiful.

"Hua Nu? Your nickname is Hua Nu."

"Because when my mother gave birth to me, the flowers in the palace bloomed more beautifully than in previous years, so she called me Hua Slave," Zhao Yuanrui replied in a low voice.

"When I was young, my father found a fortune-teller for me. He said that I look like a dragon eye and a phoenix neck, which is a noble person's face, so I named it Fenglang. This fortune-telling is really good."

"Then there is someone who praises himself so much"

"Because others don't praise me, so I can only praise myself"

The person in front of him was not the most outstanding in appearance among the people he had ever seen, but she didn't feel dull at all when she was with him. She had already forgotten how long she hadn't been so happy.

It wasn't until midnight that He Shao sent Zhao Yuanrui to the small gate outside the palace. When he returned home, He Anwen was still awake, looking at He Shao with a slightly excited expression.

"Feng Lang, why have you taken a fancy to that girl?"

"First of all, I went to appreciate the lanterns, and secondly, I really fell in love with one."

"Really? That girl, where does she live? I'll find someone to make a match."

He Shao is only 19 years old now, and He Anwen can't wait to hug his grandson.

"The girl didn't say anything, but her brother disliked our bad family background, and what he said revealed the meaning that we can't climb up." He Shao said aggrievedly.

"Is it the daughter of the prince or minister?" He Anwen asked tentatively.

"No"

"A wealthy businessman?"

"Neither"

He Anwen became angry when he heard it, and took a mouthful towards the side.

"It's not good for us to dislike our family for nothing? How many families in the city can have the same conditions as ours, let alone you are a student of the prime minister.

Listen to my father, don't let this kind of thing that dislikes the poor and loves the rich, otherwise it will be troublesome to marry back home."

"Father, but I've decided not to marry her."

When He Anwen heard it, he turned around a few times in a dilemma.

"Forget it, since you like Dad, let go of this old face. If you really can't do it, just give me an extra dowry, and tell Dad where she lives."

"At Suzaku Gate"

"North of Suzaku Gate? Where can I live? The conditions are really not bad, and I am qualified to pick and choose."

Suzaku Gate is the gate of the imperial palace, and the left and right sides are either rich merchants or officials.

"Living in the Suzaku Gate"

He Shao's words made He Anwen confused for a while.

"You fell in love with a court lady? This is not feasible! You are still young, but I know your father, the place is very dirty, there are good people who send their daughters to be palace maids."

After He Anwen figured it out, he quickly refused, and he didn't agree with anything, even though the old He's family was poor and lower-middle peasants, but the family style was still very strict.

"Father, not a palace lady"

"Don't lie to me, what else can you be if you are not a court lady living in Suzaku Gate, can you still be a princess?"

He Shao gave a thumbs up.

"You guessed it right, not only the princess, but also the younger sister of His Majesty today"

He Anwen nodded when he saw He Si, his feet were weak and he almost didn't fall down. He co-authored that the one who scolded him just now was the emperor?

"Our family really doesn't deserve it, Feng Lang, why don't we change it, I see that there is a good soup cake on the side of Yudao, and it looks like a good child."

"You don't need to worry about it, His Majesty said that in order to make me worthy of the princess, he will give me a knighthood after a while."

He Shao skipped the process and jumped straight to the result. He has never doubted whether it can be made. It is a sin for Han people not to eat pork.

"You're not joking with dad?"

"of course not"

He Anwen seemed a little helpless after hearing the news, looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.

"What are you doing?"

"No, I'm going to burn a piece of paper at the ancestral grave." He Anwen smiled very happily.

"Father, it's midnight now, besides, didn't you say that our ancestral grave is in Jinyang?"

The smile on He Anwen's face froze and his expression sank, perhaps because he couldn't find anyone to share with such a big happy event.

"It's still early for the knighthood. It will be in August and September at the earliest. When everything is settled, I will accompany you to Jinyang."

"well"
