Chapter 340: The Sadness of the Twilight Beauty (Part 2)
"It's the king." Zhao Zongji said.
"The five-color soil belongs to yellow, and it is in the center of the five directions." Foyin said with a smile: "Your current identity is that of a king without a crown. You should be a certain prince."
"Haha..." Zhao Zongji smiled noncommittally.
Foyin took another look at the writing on the table, shook his head and said: "The word 'earth' written in water has become blurry so quickly. It seems that you won't be a prince for long."
"Oh." Zhao Zongji took a look and saw that there was only a faint trace of his handwriting. What could he be if he wasn't a prince? His expression couldn't help but be a little strange. After pondering for a moment, Fang slowly asked: "There is a hurdle in front of me. , I wonder if I can go there?”
"You write the word 'tu' with tea, and everything originates from the word 'tea'. When the word 'tea' is broken down, it is 'thirty-eight people'. To untie the bell, you need the person who tied the bell. Tan Yue still needs to find this 'three people'" Only eighteen people can pass the test." Foyin said more and more mysteriously.
"Thirty-eight people?" Zhao Zongji widened his eyes and asked, "What is it?"
"The poor monk is just talking about words," Foyin shook his head and said, "How do you know the inside story?"
"Where should I go to find him?" Zhao Zongji asked in a different way.
"You can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here." Foyin smiled and said, "The better the sandalwood is, the better it is." Then he asked Chen Yi, "Have you prepared the wine and meat?"
"Ready." Chen Yi nodded.
"The poor monk said goodbye." Foyin stood up, took a deep look at Zhao Zongji and said, "What a beautiful white hat..." After saying that, he clasped his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's name 'Amitabha' to the two of them, then strode forward. He walked out and listened to him walking and singing:
"Only the water is born. Follow the sky and respond to people.
Hard in the middle and soft in the outer, earth produces gold.”
Chen Ke and Zhao Zongji are both people with a lot of knowledge. They know that this is a prophecy in Zhuge Liang's "Ma Qian Lesson". The sentence "Only the natural water, obey the heaven and respond to the people" has always been used by the Zhao family to prove the inevitability of winning the country. Therefore, The Song Dynasty was also known as the Tianshui Dynasty.
Today, Zhao Zongji accidentally wrote the word "earth", which corresponds to the sentence "hard in the middle and soft in the outer, soil is the source of gold". Not to mention what this sentence means, is he really a person who is destined to live in destiny... I wonder hard. After a long while, Zhao Zongji still couldn't figure out what the "Thirty-Eight People" were. He looked at Chen Ke and realized that he was guarding the Jinshan Mountain to beg for food. There was one of the best guessing experts in the Song Dynasty, so why bother to figure it out on his own?
"What do you think?" he asked.
"This should be a person's name," Chen Ke said slowly: "It's literally impossible to guess. I'm going through the names in my mind one by one."
"Is there any gain?"
"Don't worry, let me think about it." Chen Ke frowned slightly and said, "Let me think about it..."
Zhao Zongji shut his mouth and waited for tea. Suddenly, Chen Ke's eyes lit up and he said, "King Liu Tian!"
"Liu Hua?" Zhao Zongji asked, "Why is he thirty-eight?"
"There are thirty-two heavenly kings. 'Liu' and 'Liu' add up to thirty-eight people." Chen Ke said.
Zhao Zongji immediately said excitedly: "It can't be wrong, it must be him!" After the scandal of "borrowing seeds to give birth to children" in the palace, the Imperial City Department tried its best to arrest Liu Tianwang, but the man was like a cow in the sea, and there was no news. As time went by, everyone Thinking that he had been silenced, he stopped looking for him.
But according to the meaning of this Buddha seal, King Liu Tian is still alive!
"If we can find this person and reveal the truth behind the case." Zhao Zongji rubbed his hands in excitement and said, "We will definitely be able to settle the matter in one fell swoop!" He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But the population of Bianjing City is more than one million. How? Find him within two days?"
"The monk said that in the past, it was 'nothing to find even after wearing iron shoes', but now it's 'no effort to get it'." Chen Ke said slowly: "It seems that it is not difficult to find... The Buddha's seal cannot be compared to the emperor's seal."
The City Secretary is powerful, right? So it should be in a place he is familiar with but ignored by the Imperial City Secretary."
"Daxiangguo Temple!" Zhao Zongji suddenly said: "He is probably dressed as a monk!" There are thousands of monks in Daxiangguo Temple, half of them are Yunshui monks, but they are all bald, so I ignored this place in the previous search.
Zhao Zongji said excitedly: "I'll send someone to find him right now!"
"No," Chen Ke shook his head decisively: "You must not get involved in this matter!"
"Why!" Zhao Zongji widened his eyes and said, "Don't you always say that if God gives you nothing, you must suffer the consequences!"
"But it's not what God gave you!" Chen Ke said solemnly: "It's that monk!"
"What's wrong with the monk?" Zhao Zongji was already confused and said, "The characters he measured were written by me, so it can be seen that it was God's will!"
"Prophecy is just like fortune-telling. It's a trick to play with people's hearts. I can say it with both nose and eyes." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I think there is something wrong with this monk."
"how?"
"The fact that he appeared was too coincidental." Chen Ke said: "If we assume that he knew the whereabouts of King Liu Tian from the beginning, then everything today is just a trick on his part!"
"This..." Zhao Zongji frowned and thought for a moment and said, "It's also possible. Who does he belong to?"
Chen Ke shook his head.
"No matter who he is," Zhao Zongji said solemnly, "it will be beneficial and harmless if he can help us find Liu Hua!"
"It is by no means beneficial or harmless. If you reveal this matter, how will the officials, princes and people in the world think of you?" Chen Ke knew Zhao Zongji's mentality, just like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. But after all,
Rather than caring about himself, he could still remain calm and said: "They will think that you have been deliberately looking for King Liu Tian. What are your intentions?"
"This..." A basin of cold water poured over Zhao Zongji.
"I have always been worried that there will be a situation where the snipe and the clam quarrel, and the fisherman will gain. After all, you two are not the only ones coveting this position, and it is not just you two." Chen Ke said in a serious tone: "If it were you.
If one of the other eldest sons set up a trap, wouldn't you fall into a trap?"
"It's very possible..." Zhao Zongji's back was covered with cold sweat, and after a while he said with fear: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost fallen into the trap."
"The authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear." Chen Ke said calmly.
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Zongji looked at him and asked.
"We still have to let the Imperial City Division handle it." Chen Ke said: "Give this clue to the Imperial City Division through a safe channel, and then watch the fire from the other side. Even if we can't kill Zhao Zongshi this time, we can't get involved."
"That...what a pity." Zhao Zongji said regretfully.
"It's no pity." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Every old fish knows that when an earthworm appears in the water, there must be a fishhook hidden in it. Only by restraining the impulse can you live a long time."
"Yes." Zhao Zongji nodded and said: "I listen to you... After noon the next day, in the palace, Funing Hall.
Official Zhao Zhen has been obsessed with listening to operas recently. Although the palace scandal a few months ago was dealt with in a low-key manner and remained calm, it was a huge blow to the emperor.
Although Zhao Zhen always reminded himself that as a king, he should give top priority to state affairs, but he was still inevitably depressed. But he refused to rely on religion to numb himself like his father, let alone the company of women.
He chose to listen to dramas to kill time. This is just like the housewives of later generations who like to watch TV dramas.
On this day, the theater troupe from the palace came to the side hall of Funing Hall again. The eunuch in charge presented the play prepared for today. Zhao Zhen was covered with a blanket, leaning on the easy chair, shaking his head indifferently: "Perform whatever you want.
"
So the opera troupe first performed a play "Mu Lian Saves His Mother". Song Dynasty opera, also called Zaju, consists of four or five actors dressed up and dressed up as ancient people to perform stories. It is far less exciting than the operas of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, but this
It is also closely related to the audience's appreciation level. At least people in the Song Dynasty watched it with gusto.
After finishing the performance of "Mu Lian Saves His Mother", it was still early, so the actors performed another short play "The Golden Chamber". It was about the scene before the death of Zhao Da and Zhao Er's mother, Empress Dowager Du.
This is the main melody that Zhao Er's descendants love to hear, but Zhao Zhen doesn't like it because it has too many loopholes. Although he will defend its authenticity without hesitation, it does not mean that he also likes to listen to it when entertaining himself.
This is a big lie.
However, since he had spoken in advance, the well-educated Zhao Zhen did not stop.
Then he saw the old queen lying on the bed and asked Emperor Taizu: "Son, how did you say you became the emperor?"
"This is the virtue accumulated by our ancestors and the teachings of our parents." Zhao Kuangyin's answer was quite satisfactory.
Queen Mother Du shook her head. She knew that her son was trying to coax her, but she asked this question not to hear good words, but because she had something on her mind that she couldn't let go of. Then she sighed, took her son's hand and said, "No, can you be the one?"
The only reason for becoming emperor is that Zhou Shizong's son is too young. If there is a eldest king in the Zhou Kingdom later, what will happen to our Zhao family?"
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said repeatedly: "That's what mother said."
"The country has been settled for the first time, and people's hearts are unstable. Our Zhao family cannot imitate the Chai family, so you have to make your brother your heir, so that the Song Dynasty can be passed on." Only then did Empress Dowager Du reveal her true purpose.
Zhao Kuangyin immediately agreed... Anyway, this is how it was played on the stage... He cried and nodded in agreement.
But I didn't expect that Queen Mother Du was really not simple. She was afraid that he would regret it in the future, so she immediately said: "Call Secretary Zhao in."
Secretary Zhao was Zhao Pu. After King Zhao Han came in, Empress Dowager Du asked him to write down the oath immediately, and asked Zhao Kuangyin to sign it with calligraphy and painting without regrets! Then he kept it in a golden cabinet and hid it in a secret place in the palace.
This is the origin of the Alliance of the Golden Chamber. Zhao Zhen has seen it at least a dozen times, but when he saw it today, he had a different feeling in his heart... the separation... there is another update.!~!
