Chapter 258 Lonely Journey

Zhang Yuan thought he did things beautifully, but when he left the capital, he realized that he was actually a little too pretentious.

He did not do this by himself, but asked Li Rong to do it. Li Rong had little power, so the people who arranged to fight before the station were more to ask for bribes. There were very few people who really arranged programs to cheer for Zhu Houzhao, or there were basically no arrangements.

However, it was not only Zhang Yuan who was busy with this matter before the emperor. Some people wanted to add icing to Zhu Houzhao's southern tour, such as Xiao Tiaozi, and Jiang Bin and Xu Tai.

Especially Jiang Bin, who did not make any contribution in the Central Plains rebellion fighting, learned from his mistakes and knew that he had no ability to lead the army to fight, and could only make a fuss about how to curry favor with the emperor. The best way he thought of was to shove Zhu Hou's women, as if nothing could attract the emperor's attention than this.

However, it is not easy to find a woman that the emperor likes.

After thinking about it, Jiang Bin thought about Zhu Houzhao's interest in the woman, he sent his men to search on both sides of the Grand Canal to find out whose wife is beautiful and has a good temperament, and then quietly arrested people... He dared not investigate such cases at all, and even if Jiang Bin found out, he didn't think there was any big problem.

The court mostly turned a blind eye to Emperor Zhengde's absurd and nonsense, and would not open up, so as not to ruin the royal reputation. In this way, Jiang Bin's actions in the Central Plains were a little lawless.

Jiang Bin also arranged for Xu Tai to go to both sides of the Grand Canal to find distinctive opera troupes and juggling teams, and then there was a problem where to perform.

Zhu Houzhao usually stays on the boat and only stays at night. If you want to make the emperor's journey less lonely, besides having women on the boat, it is best that the emperor can enjoy the performances of the opera troupe or the juggling troupe without leaving the boat.

Jiang Bin thought about it and decided to find a way on the water.

He imagined finding a big boat with a large board behind it floating on the water as a stage, with the opera troupe and the juggling team performing on it, and Zhu Houzhao's ship followed behind, so that the emperor could sit on the deck during the day, enjoying the performance while blowing the river breeze, and enjoying the performance, and having beautiful women around him as his companions. How free and easy was that?

Although the idea is good, it is extremely difficult to implement. The opera troupe and the juggling team have been found, but their abilities are insufficient. After all, good teams have been basically invited to the capital, and the small places have basically been found in the straw troupe. It takes a lot of thought to satisfy Zhu Houzhao, who has a very high vision.

However, Jiang Bin was not discouraged. After hearing that Zhang Yuan was scolded, he felt that his opportunity had come.

It happened that people sent to the local area in advance to catch a few women. They were beautiful and after several days of coercion and temptation, they no longer cried. Jiang Bin promised that if they served the emperor well, they would let them go home and not tell them about this matter, so that they would spare their worries.

On the night when Zhang Yuan was preparing to offer food, drink and entertainment to the emperor, the fleet arrived in Jinghai.

Zhu Houzhao got ashore. As soon as he entered the inn, Jiang Bin asked several women to put on armored guard uniforms and followed him into the gate of the inn.

Jiang Bin went to the second floor of the backyard of the inn and met the emperor. When he told the story, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up.

"Jiang Bin, you kid are very good at doing things." Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and felt very depressed for a few days. Now she finally had fun, as if she had been drought for a long time.

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "I will spare no effort to do my best to do your work for Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and was about to ask Jiang Bin to call the person into the room, suddenly he thought of something, his face darkened, "No, no, the queen lives here, I will visit you later. If she knows that I am messing around in the room, she will have to make trouble with me."

Jiang Bin didn't expect the emperor to have such concerns, and thought to himself: "What's wrong with Your Majesty? He never seemed to be on the front and back. He is the emperor and he still cares about the thoughts of the women around him? Could it be that this new queen is really so powerful that even His Majesty's temperament can be reversed?"

Zhu Houzhao stood up and pointed to the little knives who were waiting at the door: "Have the queen moved in?"

Xiao Tiaozi said, "Your Majesty, the Empress takes a few palace maids to watch the scenery by the river, and says she will be back later."

Xiao Guozi reminded Zhu Houzhao that if you do something randomly, you may be noticed by the queen. If there is any problem, don’t blame others. I have informed you of the current situation truthfully.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands. Although he changed his temperament after marrying Chen Yier into the palace and did not value beauty so much, he still couldn't change his previous bad habits. He heard that there were a few folk women who were there and had good looks and temperament, so he couldn't help it immediately.

Zhu Houzhao said, "Little Twist, go out and watch. If the queen comes back, you can find a way to hold her back. Jiang Bin, call the person quickly. It's going to be dark. I will fight quickly!"

The emperor's words made Xiao Taozi and Jiang Bin a bit embarrassed, mainly because his anxious look was too funny, but no one dared to make a joke.

Jiang Bin lowered his head and replied, "I'll make arrangements." After that, he immediately went out to call a few women in guard uniforms into the room. Originally, Jiang Bin had prepared a replacement dress for several women, but now it seems that Zhu Houzhao doesn't have much time and the queen has to solve the problem before she comes back. Naturally, she has no leisure to drink and have fun with these women, and the women's clothing she prepared is useless.

In an instant, the people around Zhu Houzhao became busy. Xiao Guozi hurried away with the emperor's order, delaying Chen Yi'er's pace of returning to the inn to prevent him from discovering that Zhu Houzhao was doing something wrong.

Jiang Bin was also afraid of something wrong, so he simply stayed at the door of the backyard. On the one hand, he kept the door for the emperor and was always allowed to wait for instructions. On the other hand, when the queen came back, he could delay the time.

"It's really a hell."

After Jiang Bin was discharged from the hospital, he kept complaining, "I thought the credit was decided, but now it seems that it may not be possible. If the queen comes back and finds clues, but Your Majesty is not good at explaining to the queen, don't take the surgery on me then... I can't afford to commit these two little ancestors."

...

...

Chen Yi'er was enjoying the scenery on the shore, while Zhu Houzhao was in the inn room.

Zhu Houzhao likes this feeling of secret love. Although he knows that if something happens, he will be scolded by Chen Yier, and even Chen Yier may even throw his sleeves away from him, he still can't stop his desire for excitement.

Soon the sky became dim outside. Chen Yi'er looked up at the sky and felt a little cold. She shrank her neck and then drove back to the inn. A large group of palace maids and guards accompanied her along the way.

Chen Yier likes this feeling of being surrounded by stars. She is the focus of attention wherever she goes. This is a very respectable thing for a teenage girl in adolescence.

"Empress, are you back?"

At the entrance of the inn, Xiao Tiaozi met Chen Yi'er and hurried forward to salute.

However, Xiao Zhuozi acted too panic, and anyone with a discerning eye could notice that there was something in his heart.

Chen Yi'er frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Twist for a few more times, and said, "I went out to see the scenery, and I was tired and came back to rest. Isn't that okay? Isn't this a post station?"

While speaking, Chen Yier looked up at the main building of the two-story high in the front. At this time, there were guards around. The small post was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and the water was blocked. The Fire Dragon Team was ready to deal with emergencies at any time. In addition, there were patrol officers and soldiers within five miles of the river bank, and local servants were mobilized to protect the emperor's safety.

Xiao Tiaozi calmed down a little and smiled apologized: "The Empress should appreciate the beautiful scenery along the canal for a while, especially Jinghai, which is the main battlefield of the battle between Song and Liao dynasties in the previous dynasty. There are many ruins to see. It is good to have a proper understanding of the local cultural history."

Chen Yier is not a confused girl. When she heard this, she felt something was wrong and frowned: "It's already dark, what scenery can I see? In addition, I need to know so much humanities and history? I won't talk nonsense to you, let go, I will go in and rest."

Chen Yier didn't want to get angry, but based on her woman's intuition, she realized that something might have happened in the inn, so she was so anxious that she waved her hand and asked her to give way.

Xiao Guozi could have continued to stop him, but he knew that doing so would only make the queen more suspicious, and muttered in his heart: "Although she is the queen, she is just a little girl after all. Why is she so independent? It's a damn!"

Just as Xiao Tiaozi was considering whether to give way, Chen Yier had already walked around him and walked towards the gate of the inn.

Xiao Guozi became nervous in an instant: "It's less than half an hour, how could Your Majesty finish it? You can't let the Queen go in and look upstairs under the backyard, it's clear at a glance."

Because the backyard of the inn is a patio building layout, you can see the doors of all the rooms upstairs when you enter the backyard. It is just a two-story building, not far away, and it seems extremely quiet that night. I think it is very likely that the queen will hear some bad sounds as soon as she enters, and all the secrets will be leaked.

"Empress, please walk slowly... The villain is helping you...Oh..." Xiao Guozi was about to take advantage of the opportunity to stop him, but he didn't expect that his feet would become unstable, so he pounced forward and fell a dog to eat shit.

Chen Yi'er turned around and glanced at the embarrassed little twister and smiled faintly: "Prefer to yourself! Look at your rash appearance, I need you to support you? Humph!"

Chen Yi'er kept walking and entered the inn directly, then walked towards the backyard gate.

Just at this moment, Jiang Bin came out from inside after hearing the news and barely blocked Chen Yi'er at the door.

Jiang Bin knelt on the ground with a "thump" and said loudly: "My minister, Jiang Bin, see the Queen."

"Go aside, I want to see the emperor."

Chen Yi'er didn't want to talk too much at this time. With her wisdom, she naturally could realize that these people were deliberately preventing her from seeing Zhu Houzhao, and judged that the emperor must be doing something shameful at this moment, and did not want her to know.

Jiang Bin is smart: "Your Majesty is meeting an important person, please wait outside."

Chen Yier sneered: "Important person? Who is the person? Even the old minister of the court, I will meet him as soon as I want to! Besides, what does this matter to you? Do you want to be punished by me?"

Although Chen Yier is usually very friendly to her servants, it does not mean that she is a soft persimmon. The people in front of her are obviously deceiving her, so she couldn't swallow this and walked in directly.

Jiang Bin quickly got up in despair, took a few steps back, blocked the door again, and said, "Empress comes in and meets the saint. Your Majesty will not punish him, but if I let the xiu enter, I can't explain to you... So I ask the xiu to be reasonable and not to make things difficult for me."

Chen Yi'er said angrily: "You can't explain to the emperor, so there is a way to explain to me? Do you believe it or not, I will just let someone cut off your head?"

Jiang Bin originally thought that he could use his experience to suppress the little girl in front of him. No matter how he said that this queen was just a little girl, she could persuade him no matter how much, but he did not expect that Chen Yier was a ruthless character and looked at him fiercely: "If you don't let go, try my methods... Even if the person inside protects you, I will make you have different bodies and heads!"

At this time, Chen Yi'er showed her majesty as a queen, and her words were full of intimidation, which made Jiang Bin feel a chill on his back.

If someone else said this, he would just call me a little, and the little master would speak extraordinary, because this is the current queen and his brother is the famous Chen Xi. He had seen the emperor's fear of the queen before, and he would inevitably think randomly: "If the queen really wants to kill me, even if His Majesty knows, I'm afraid I can't protect me."

"Push him away!"

Chen Yi'er shouted, and more than a dozen Jinyiwei rushed forward and took Jiang Bin down directly. This was also related to the fact that Jinyiwei and Jiang Bin had a deep grudge. These Jinyiwei were so happy when they heard that the queen was going to kill Jiang Bin... Finally, someone supported them, and there was no need to worry about doing things, so how could they still hold back?

Jiang Bin's old face was pressed to the ground with his hands on his back, and he still shouted: "Empress, I am just doing it on my order. Don't make it difficult for me to do it!"

The voice came from afar, and Jiang Bin wanted to let the people inside hear it and remind Zhu Houzhao to respond in time.

Chen Yi'er sneered and took the people into the backyard of the inn. Then she looked up at the second floor, but saw that there was no oil lamp. She thought that Zhu Houzhao was not here, so she might be in the yard next to her or going out.

But he didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was in the room at this time, because he was afraid that the candlelight in the room would be discovered by Chen Yi'er, so he was wearing clothes in the dark.

"You all change into guard uniforms. You cannot come out without my orders!" Zhu Houzhao whispered, for fear that Chen Yi'er downstairs would hear it.

Chen Yi'er was still searching for Zhu Houzhao's traces downstairs, looking around and asking, "Where has the emperor been?"

The people in the inn dared not speak nonsense, even though someone knew that the emperor was in the room upstairs, he knew that the emperor was making a fuss, so he kept silent, fearing that a bad life would be gone.

Just at this moment, there was a "squeak" sound coming from the upper floor, but Zhu Houzhao was out of the room with disheveled clothes, looking a little embarrassed.

"The Queen is looking for me?"

Zhu Houzhao seemed extremely calm, but because his behavior was a bit sneaky, Chen Yier still suspected it.

Chen Yi'er looked up at Zhu Houzhao who was walking towards the stairs after leaving the room on the second floor, frowned and asked, "It's so dark, what are you doing in the room?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "What can I do? This journey is too hard. I want to sleep for a while when I arrive at the inn. I also specifically ordered that people not be disturbed. Who would have heard you shouting below in a blink of an eye?"

While talking, Zhu Houzhao came down from the upper floor and arrived in front of Chen Yier. Her innocent smile was piled on her face, just like the husband whom her folk wife tried her best to hide her. She also found a reason for her disheveled clothes... I was sleeping and I heard you just got off after arguing downstairs, so she was not dressed so neatly.

Chen Yi'er looked up at the location of Zhu Houzhao's room, then quickly walked upstairs. Zhu Houzhao was shocked when she saw it and hurriedly chased after him: "Queen, what are you going to do?"

Chen Yi'er didn't answer, with a bulging face, as if she knew something was wrong in the room. After reaching the second floor, she went straight to Zhu Houzhao's room door.

Zhu Houzhao was stern and shouted, "Queen, you are so chaotic. Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

While speaking, he tried his best to wink at the people downstairs. Xiao Tiaozi quickly went upstairs. In order to attract Chen Yi'er's attention, he also bought time for the women inside to wear the guard uniform. He knelt directly at the entrance of the stairs and screamed: "I am not right. I just saw the Empress coming and said offensive words. Queen, please forgive me."

Chen Yier didn't say a word, kicked the door open in front of many people.

There was no movement inside, and I couldn't see clearly. Zhu Houzhao walked over and asked angrily, "Queen, what are you going to do?"

At this time, several "soldiers" in armor stood behind the door, with their heads hanging down and seemed very afraid, but because they were so dark that they couldn't see clearly, Chen Yi'er didn't know who he was.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly explained: "I am resting in the wilderness and leaving a few guards to guard the room. Can't it be?"

Chen Yi'er didn't answer, walked straight into the inside, arrived at the table, took out a fire note from her arms, blew a few times to light the candle, and looked at the "soldiers" behind the door, but glanced at the direction of the bed. The raised quilt attracted all her attention... She thought there was a woman hidden under the quilt.

Xiao Tiaozi came in and quickly waved his hand to the "soldiers": "What are you looking at? You don't need to guard here anymore, go out!"

Several "guards" quickly walked out the door. At this time, Chen Yier had already arrived at the couch and reached out to lift the quilt. He didn't notice that the "soldiers" who went out were different.

"What's this?"

As the quilt was lifted, there was no woman I imagined below. Chen Yier picked up something from the couch, but it was a woman's underwear.

Zhu Houzhao said: "What is this? Can't you see the queen? This is your thing..."

"What?"

Chen Yi'er's face looked embarrassed.
