MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 773 think of a reason

  Zhao Zhongyu hadn’t gotten off work yet, but he sent someone back ahead of time. Zhao Dian was already waiting at the door. When he saw Zhao Hanzhang, he immediately went up to him, “Sanniang, the elder is waiting in the front hall.”

  Zhao Hanzhang dismounted, looked up at the writing on the mansion, handed the horse to the guard behind him, and asked, "Where is Mr. Ming?"

  Zhao Dian: "Mr. Ming has arranged to stay in the guest house, and the kitchen has prepared lunch, which has been delivered to him."

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded and walked in, but instead of going to the front hall, he asked, "Which guest courtyard is there?"

  Zhao Dian hurriedly said: "San Niang, the Elder Master is waiting for you to have lunch in the front hall. You... the guest house is here."

  Zhao Hanzhang then withdrew his gaze, raised his foot and walked to the left.

Zhao Dian hurriedly followed, he no longer tried to persuade Zhao Hanzhang, but asked his servants to go to the kitchen to prepare more. Seeing Fan Ying, Zeng Yue and others following behind, he simply said: "Prepare a few more meals, Send them all to the hospital."

"yes."

Zhao Ji has been waiting in the front hall. Ever since he heard that Zhao Hanzhang entered the mansion, he has been a little nervous. He has been waiting for her to come over, and he has already demonstrated back and forth in his heart. After seeing her, what will he say and what kind of attitude will he use? …

   As a result, he was tense for more than two quarters of an hour, and did a lot of mental training. The servants came in with their heads down and reported that Zhao Hanzhang went directly to the guest courtyard, but did not come to the front hall.

   Zhao Ji felt angry again, and breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was even more nervous facing Zhao Hanzhang than facing the emperor and Gou Xi.

  Zhao Ji's face turned green instantly, and he was filled with shame and annoyance.

  He stood up abruptly, dragged on the wooden clogs and walked out, the chief follower hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him: "Master, calm down, San Niang is discussing with Mr. Ming about a serious matter."

   "Isn't it a business to meet the elders first when you first enter the house?" Zhao Ji walked out angrily, "Who taught her the rules? She doesn't even know the most basic etiquette."

  The long follower hurriedly chased after him and whispered: "My lord, there are more than a hundred people brought by Sanniang into the city. When she entered the city, she met General Xiaogou head-on, and she almost killed General Xiaogou with one shot..."

Zhao Ji stopped in his tracks, his face was red and blue, and finally turned around with a cold snort, and said angrily, "When father comes back, he must take a good look at it. This is the grandniece he supports. We don't put our second room in the house at all. In my eyes, this is not a family, it is not the same for strangers."

  But Zhao Zhongyu was stopped by Zhao Dian and Ting He as soon as he came back, and Ting He knelt down and said, "Second old master, the girl wants the master to invite Mr. Ming to have dinner together."

  Zhao Dian said in a low voice: "San Niang said that we need to discuss things."

   Zhao Zhongyu nodded, unable to remember that he still had a son.

  Ming Yu did not enter the city with Zhao Hanzhang. Before arriving at the Ten Mile Changting Pavilion, he took a detour to visit an old friend. Through him, he invited a few more friends, and then entered the city after setting a meeting time.

When he entered the city, he happened to see Gou Xi leading Gou Chun away from a distance, the city gate officer was lying in a pool of blood, and the people on both sides of the road bowed their heads and dared not speak, so he guessed that it was not Gou Xi who moved. It was Gou Chun.

  So he inquired about the news before entering the city.

  Seeing Zhao Zhongyu approaching, he immediately motioned for Zhao Hanzhang and got up quickly.

  Zhao Hanzhang turned his head, stood up and said with a smile, "Uncle is back."

   "Well," Zhao Zhongyu and Mingyu met the ceremony, knelt down on the first seat, looked at Zhao Hanzhang, "what's the matter with you and Gouxi?"

  He was in the palace, and only vaguely heard that Gou Xi came to confront her, but it is not clear what exactly happened.

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Uncle and grandfather misunderstood, not with the general, but with Gou Chun."

  She told what happened when she entered the city.

  When Zhao Zhongyu heard this, his face darkened, "Gou Chun became more and more reckless, and dared to kill someone in the street, and the one who killed was the city gate official."

  Zhao Hanzhang is eager to try, "Will the censor be impeached tomorrow?"

   If they are impeached, she can help them when they go to court. The scolding today is not enough, she thinks she can scold Gou Chun more.

  Zhao Zhongyu said: "Just like General Gou Dao, Gou Chun never takes the initiative to go to court."

   Even scolding him can't hear him.

  Zhao Hanzhang stopped thinking, what's the point of swearing at someone who doesn't listen to them face to face? It made her say bad things behind her back.

  Zhao Hanzhang put the matter aside and started talking about business with Zhao Zhongyu.

   Zhao Zhongyu also has many things to tell her, "Your Majesty wants to move back to Luoyang, implying that you are the one to bring this up."

  Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Can Gou Xi agree?"

   Zhao Zhongyu lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty has subdued Gou Xi's three generals, a total of 80,000 people. Including the imperial army, His Majesty now has 100,000 people."

   "As long as you mention it, and send troops to **** it, and unite with His Majesty, there is nothing Gou Xi can do."

  Zhao Hanzhang hesitated, and asked, "What does my uncle think?"

"Find an excuse to procrastinate," Zhao Zhongyu said, "Although you can succeed Gou Xi as the Great General to Protect the Country, I always feel that the feng shui of His Majesty is not very auspicious. It seems that whoever he follows will be unlucky. Moreover, Now that you occupy the Central Plains, when your Majesty returns to Luoyang, the counties and counties in Sizhou may replace him."

   "When cooking oil with a strong fire, the prosperity will inevitably decline," Zhao Zhongyu said: "The Zhao family is still young, and cannot stand a fight like this between you and the emperor."

  Zhao Hanzhang agreed deeply, nodded repeatedly and said: "I also think it would be better for His Majesty to stay in Yuncheng, but I don't know what excuse to give."

Ming Yu said: "Youzhou and Jizhou are suffering from drought. At this time, it will cost a lot to move the capital. We can postpone it until this year. And the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is coming soon, and His Majesty does not want to cause troubles in his life. He will definitely not mention it before that. After the ceremony, we will find an excuse." Leave quickly, the matter of moving the capital is discussed in letters, and it takes time to go back and forth. It was discussed for four years when we moved out of Luoyang, but it is normal to discuss the move back for two or three years before making a decision."

   Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Zhongyu thought it was true, so they nodded repeatedly.

   Zhao Hanzhang thought that if this year's locust plague can pass smoothly, it can indeed be delayed for another two or three years.

  Zhao Hanzhang thought that Gou Xi was getting more and more demented now, so he couldn't help asking: "How is uncle's health now?"

   Zhao Zhongyu frowned and asked, "It's okay."

  Zhao Hanzhang tapped the low table lightly with his fingers, and said: "After the sacrifice to heaven, my uncle should ask for leave from time to time. After a year or two, he will return to his hometown on the grounds of being unwell."

  When Zhao Zhongyu heard this, he frowned slightly, and quickly glanced at Ming Yu without speaking.

   When the grandparent and grandson walked towards the backyard together, he asked in a low voice: "Do you want to move Gou Xi and Your Majesty?"

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will not touch His Majesty."

  She said softly: "If Gou Xi isn't here, your majesty won't need your uncle as a hostage."

  She won't touch the emperor, but she can do things more freely. Zhao Zhongyu is by the emperor's side every day, and she has to be restrained to some extent.

Zhao Zhongyu nodded thoughtfully, but he knew in his heart that it would be impossible for the emperor to agree to his resignation and return to his hometown, unless Zhao Hanzhang agreed with the emperor to move the capital back to Luoyang, she was by the emperor's side, and the emperor no longer needed him hostage.
