Chapter 302: The imperial team is in chaos
Ten days after Liu Kai left Daming Mansion, he arrived at Zhending Mansion. Only then did Zhao Ji pass down the order to prepare for the march, and asked all the armies to prepare.

Outside the city there was a lot of excitement, but inside the city there was still singing and dancing.

Qin Hui, who followed King Yun Zhao Kai to the north, was like a fish in water. Among the princes, dignitaries, generals and local celebrities, he traveled extensively and was good at dancing with long sleeves, which won him a lot of praise.

At several cultural gatherings, he wrote down a few poems, which were sung for a while and were highly praised. Even the officials remembered his name and asked him to write a few poems.

For a time, his reputation skyrocketed, and he was like a rising talent and celebrity.

It was another grand cultural gathering, and famous prostitutes from Daming Mansion were invited to join in the fun.

Drinking wine and drinking wine, everyone is drunk!
Every participant present was calling from the bottom of their hearts. In this prosperous era of Henan University, how lucky we are!

Drink enough wine, sing enough songs, and dance happily, so as to live up to this beautiful peaceful and prosperous age!

Qin Hui walked around in a circle, drank a large round of wine, and quietly came to the side of the Ninth Prince, King Kang Zhao Gou.

His mother's status was low and she didn't even have the chance to accompany him this time, so she stayed in Bianjing Palace.

After leaving Daming Mansion, the Northern Expedition really had to be launched. Zhao Ji asked the princes accompanying him to recommend themselves.

His fame and influence cannot be compared with that of his third brother Zhao Kai, or even his eighth brother Zhao Chu.

After talking for a while, Qin Hui asked: "The imperial chariot is about to go north, what position should the king recommend himself for?"

The sixth and seventh children were well-behaved, and after listening to the advice of the advisers and scribes, they volunteered to do chores early so that they could show their face in front of their father without taking credit from the more favored third, fifth and eighth children.

I have a good sister and a good brother-in-law.

Except for a few chamberlains and professors from the palace, Zhao Gou was deserted. Even if celebrities and scholars passed by, they would deliberately circle around to avoid him.

The third child has always been liked by his father, and he has a group of literati around him, so he can confuse confidential texts, which makes sense.

The two of them licked their faces and went to consult on the military affairs, and no one had anything to say.

The fifth child is older and has enjoyed riding horses and hunting since he was a child. He once led the polo team to win a championship cup.

After exchanging business blows, the two sat down arm in arm.

Yes, that's what I'm worried about. It's made me very worried these days.

"Mr. Huizhi, you're here." Zhao Gou was very happy to see Qin Hui running up to him and sitting down next to him.

If you want money and power, naturally a group of literati and celebrities gathered around Zhao Yan.

It’s not that I’m incapable, the key is that I don’t have support.

He himself is also extremely low-key, non-competitive, gentle and respectful.

Zhao Gou also smiled very modestly and said, "Mr. Huizhi, you are too polite. Little Wang has little talent and is dull and clumsy. It is difficult for him to be a teacher. However, he is a great talent and is well-known throughout the world. Xiao Wang has always wanted to ask for advice, but he has never had a chance."

Zhao Gou said with a look of shame: "Xiao Wang is not good at writing, has no military skills, and has no practical experience. The people of Fusui don't know where to start. I am really ashamed and have no face to recommend myself to my father."

Qin Hui hesitated and said: "Why should your Majesty be so humble! Besides, if I don't recommend myself at this time, I'm afraid that this expedition to the north will be in vain."

Lao Ba has a brother-in-law who is famous all over the world and is known as the best general in the world.

"Nine kings, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qin Hui politely raised his hands and said, "I have long heard that the nine kings are sincere and filial, diligent and frugal, and full of literary talents. Their calligraphy is most like an official, but they are also humble and moral. Today. It’s a real honor to have the honor to meet you.”

The third prince Zhao Kai recommended himself to deal with confidential documents, the fifth prince Zhao Shu and the eighth prince Zhao Yan recommended themselves to serve as military advisers, and the sixth prince Zhao Qi and the seventh prince Zhao Xu recommended themselves to help Fusui people.

What do you have?
What a fart!
I wanted to do something for the Prime Minister Wang or Prime Minister Cai, run some errands, and get some credit, but no one wanted me.

After hearing Qin Hui's words, Zhao Gou looked at his expression secretly, and his heart moved. They are all smart people with dancing eyebrows. This Qin Huizhi had little contact with me before, so he would not come here for no reason today.

He must have learned of some opportunity and came to sell himself a favor.

Zhao Gou instantly became extremely sincere and bowed: "Please teach me, sir!"

Qin Hui declined and said, "I am powerless and dare not give random advice."

Of course you have to raise the price first! Zhao Gou almost knelt down and begged bitterly: "Please sir, please help me in trouble, give me some advice, and save the little king from the sea of ​​suffering."

Qin Hui looked like he couldn't bear it. He held Zhao Gou's arm and said, "Oh, the king is so sincere, but he asked Wei Chen to sit on the wax. Well, Wei Chen said a few words boldly."

"Please! Please say it quickly!" Zhao Gou said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the officials and officials will head north soon. The Northern Expedition will be in full swing. However, the three armies have not moved, so food and grass will go first. The king's army in the Northern Expedition will recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. Whether the food and grass can keep up is crucial.

Daming City is the center of Hebei. Money and grain from all states and counties in the world will be transferred here, and then transported north to the front line. Therefore, Daming City is very important, and Hebei Transshipment Department is very important! "

Zhao Gou was thoughtful, but still pretended to be confused and said: "But two days ago, Wang Xiang (Wang Fu) asked Fan Gong (Fan Ne) to be the transfer envoy to Hebei and stay in Daming City."

Qin Hui said with a smile but not a smile: "It is the custom of our dynasty to send eunuchs and clan members as supervisors wherever troops are deployed. The Duke of Yan is trusted by the officials, so doesn't he have supervisors stationed in Hedong, Shaanxi?"

"Supervise the army?" Zhao Gou said happily, "Sir, are you asking Xiao Wang to stay in Daming City to supervise the food and grass affairs?"

"In today's Northern Expedition, food and grass matters are the most important military affairs!"

"But will father agree to let me stay?"

"The king is the prince of the official family. Father and son are the closest relatives, far better than foreign officials and internal officials. Moreover, the official family has personally told the officials that the king is pure, filial, sincere, simple and honest.

Your Majesty, I just made a suggestion. To succeed, the king needs someone to help him. "

"Who?"

"Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows that Liu Ruoyu and Liu Jiedushi are in charge of the Imperial City Division."

Zhao Gou's eyes rolled wildly, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Mr. Huizhi for your heartfelt advice. From now on, Xiao Wang will repay you tenfold."

Qin Hui said a few polite words and stood up to leave.

Returning to his seat, his brother-in-law Wang Xiao smiled and said: "After meeting, you are really good at things. I have sat in front of several princes. Even in front of the nine kings who can't reach the sky or the ground, Are you going to sell me a favor too?”

"Haha," Qin Hui said with a faint smile, "It's hard to plan for big things if you can't do small things. In this sky, I don't know which cloud will rain. The East Palace is incompetent, and the princes are not fuel-efficient lamps.

There are a lot of variables. This Northern Expedition was the biggest change. "

Relatives and friends around him nodded.

At night, in the palace, Zhao Ji suddenly remembered the matter of the Northern Expedition and food and grass. He felt a little worried and hesitant, and couldn't help but ask Liu Ruoyu who was accompanying him.

"If you are stupid, Fan Ne is the transshipment envoy to Hebei, and he is very good at gathering money and food. In just over ten days, he collected more than one million yuan in money and countless grain and grass from Hebei and Jingdong counties.

It's just that the matter is so important, I'm still a little worried. "

Liu Ruoyu, who understood his thoughts, suggested: "Guan family, why not put a supervisor in Daming City?"

"Supervisor?" Zhao Ji nodded, "Wonderful! But who should be released?"

Liu Ruoyu thought for a while, "Father and son are close relatives. Why don't the officials let a prince live in Daming City?"

The more Zhao Ji thought about it, the more it made sense, but who should he let go?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask Liu Ruoyu.

Liu Ruoyu replied cautiously: "I feel that pure filial piety should be the first priority. It doesn't matter if you are smart or not. On the contrary, it would be better if you are dull."

Zhao Ji understood.

I went through the few princes accompanying me in my mind.

Well, Laojiu Zhao Gou is usually very filial, disrespectful to his mother, and his name is not prominent. He is Laojiu, and there are several brothers in front of him. Even if he has different intentions, it is not his turn.

Simple and honest, not too thoughtful, well, that's him!
Immediately, Zhao Ji passed down the imperial pen and appointed Kang Wang Zhao Gou as the envoy to the east of Hebei and Beijing to stay in Daming Mansion.
