"How dignified is His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty running around!"
An old eunuch stretched out his hand to support the pale Zhao Zhen. Without even looking at the fierce-looking Yu Mahuachi, he stood there helping the emperor straighten his messy clothes.
Yu Mahuachi prepared to stab Pang Ji to death with his backhand. Killing Pang Ji was also a victory for him.
A pair of hands reached over, and the two palms tightly clamped the knife in his hand. Zou Tong quickly pulled Pang Ji out from under Yu Mahuachi's ribs, and staggered to the emperor's side.
The old eunuch Chen Lin looked at Pang Ji who was sweating profusely and said: "Remember, you won't have to do anything in the palace in the future. For the sake of your loyalty to His Majesty, I won't pursue it this time. Your Majesty is as safe as Mount Tai in the palace!"
"
Chen Lin passed over Yu Mahuachi, who was having a stalemate with a eunuch, walked to the edge of the carpet, carefully dusted off the dust on the carpet, turned back and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the carpet has been cleaned, you can continue to watch!"
At some point, the hall became quiet again. Zhao Zhen did not seem to be frightened by the assassination just now. He smiled and said to Pang Ji: "I know that Aiqing is loyal, but in the palace, I still follow the arrangements of my companion.
Better."
Pang Ji also relaxed and said with a smile: "Old minister, I almost forgot that this is your majesty's home."
Zhao Zhen knelt down and stroked the bejeweled carpet, pointing regretfully at the various state capitals on the map and sighed: "When will these state capitals obey my will?"
Chen Lin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. You are still young and have plenty of time to wait. The national power of the Song Dynasty is booming. As long as there is enough time, your wish will definitely come true."
Zhao Zhen nodded, patted the carpet and said to Pang Ji: "Pang Qing, we all have to live long enough. Only in this way can we establish our own immortal achievements."
Pang Ji and Han Qi looked at each other and realized that today's emperor was very different from the emperors of the past.
Gao Jixuan and Shi Zhongxin wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths and walked over supporting each other. Seeing the embarrassed looks of the two ministers, Zhao Zhen just smiled and said: "My dear, you have worked hard, please go down and rest."
After saying this, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave. Zou Tong directed the two strong eunuchs to follow him around the harem in a hurry, carrying the geographical map of mountains and rivers.
Seeing all the ministers surrounding him, Pang Ji coughed lightly and said, "Let's disperse the court. As for how to deal with the Liao envoys, Your Majesty has made his own decision. Today's affairs must not be leaked to avoid causing trouble."
Gao Jixuan walked out of the hall and stood in front of the hall door wondering if he was going to see the emperor. The battle at Duck River in Liaodong should have come to an end. Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom was not dead, so the ones who died must be Gao Jide and Zhang Dongyao. Thinking of it,
The large number of generals he sent to Liaodong made Gao Jixuan's heart hurt so much. The group of people he had guarded at the border for many years were his only harvest at Yanmen Pass. Now they have all been filled into the bottomless pit of Liaodong.
The Song Dynasty is becoming more and more weird now. Not only the emperor is changing, the ministers are changing, the army is changing, but even the people in the market seem to be changing. Today, the most popular song among the people and scholars is no longer Yan Shu
The poems about wealth and honor are not Liu Sanbian's poems about romance. Unknowingly, the songs in the prostitutes' mouths are a bit more heroic, a bit stronger, and a bit less rosy. There are also many scholars who are drunk.
, they would bang the dishes and sing loudly, and after singing, they would often shout boldly, "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar!" The crowd in Wa Shizi cheered loudly, and the scholars themselves were very proud.
Duan Hong struggled to pass through the crowd. The few scholars with swords hanging on their waists and waving folding fans were very dissatisfied with the rough man who bumped into him. If it weren't for seeing his headhunting attire, he would have been killed long ago.
I'm full of old tricks.
There are two horse-tying posts in front of the tavern. There is a stone monkey carved on the posts. Brother Hao squats on the head of the stone monkey. He is already very skilled in this skill. As long as regular customers enter the tavern, they will scream.
Well, a few good-hearted people even reached out to push him, but without exception, Brother Hao avoided them.
Brother Hao was squatting on it and chewing pumpkin seeds. When he saw Duan Hong approaching from a distance, he jumped down from the half-man-high horse hitching post and entered the tavern first. He greeted regular customers along the way and dived in.
We entered a private room with a chintz curtain.
Just as he sat down, Duanhong's voice came over: "The Secret Service has evacuated from the farm, but the surveillance of the surrounding industries of the Yun family is intensifying, especially the whereabouts of the second master of the Yun family. There is no way to hide it from anyone.
, now I’m not sure if anyone from the Secret Service has gotten into the Yun family.”
Brother Hao looked at Duan Hong who was peeing under the window and said with a smile: "The carriage shop is probably the key point, but they can't track those camel customers, right? Those people travel here and there all day long, and I guess the Secret Service doesn't have them either.
That manpower.
The commander-in-chief asked us to ensure that people in the mansion can easily evacuate Tokyo under any circumstances, which is too difficult."
Duan Hong frowned and said: "The commander is really worrying too much. He has no intention of rebelling. Why does he always keep arranging escape routes?"
Brother Hao shook his head and said: "We can't guess the big man's thoughts, so don't guess. Let me tell you something. Recently, someone is looking for Hua Niang, Xiaoman, and Tangtang. I feel that they seem to have bad intentions. Very
It's strange, the people who inquire about them are all from the south. I checked and found that most of them are silk merchants. Hua Niang and the others have nothing to do with the people from the south."
Duan Hong narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "I will check again."
Brother Hao sighed and said, "If you really like Tangtang, then propose marriage openly. It's better to try than to do nothing."
After waiting for a while, there was no reply. Brother Hao looked out the window and realized that Duan Hong had gone far away. However, he was not worried about Duan Hong. As long as it was about Tangtang, he would figure it out even if he stayed awake.
.
The flower girl holds two strands of silk thread in her hand and one thread in her mouth. She is combining the colored silk thread into three strands. The girl has grown up and is already known to be beautiful. If there is no colorful silk thread on the bun, she will
He refuses to wear colorful handkerchiefs to his death.
Seeing Tangtang and Xiaoman walking in from outside with rosy faces, he sighed and said: "Can you two not take a bath together? Don't bring the troubles in the yard home, even if you don't like men.
, it’s not shameful for two women to work together.”
Tangtang's face suddenly turned as red as a piece of red cloth, but Xiaoman said nonchalantly: "What's so good about men? We are all women, so why don't we live well?"
The flower girl closed the rope and loosened the tension on it. A colorful rope more than a foot long appeared in her hand. She satisfactorily placed the rope on a small wooden shelf.
, the colorful rope is braided, just choose some beautiful gems or beads, or fragrant wood accessories to tie it together. It is most suitable to give it as a gift.
After admiring the fruits of her labor for a while, Hua Niang lazily stretched her waist and said with a smile: "I don't care about you, you are all people who have endured hardship. As long as you think your life is good, I will do whatever you want.
I won't care, but you should not go out recently. There is news from the outer door that someone is looking for us.
We have done a lot of things over the years, and it is inevitable that we will offend some people. Let them find out who is looking for us first, and then it is not too late to take action. So, just stay at home recently and don't go out. Your looks are too attractive.
Pay attention."
Xiao Man was about to act coquettishly when he suddenly saw a pigeon landing on the window sill, cooing. He quickly went out and caught the pigeon. He took out a bamboo tube from the pigeon's calf and grabbed a handful of millet for the pigeon.
Then he returned to the room, dangled the bamboo tube in his hand towards the flower girl, took off the hairpin and gently took out the note from the bamboo tube and put it in the flower girl's hand.
After reading the note, Hua Niang threw it into the brazier and said with a smile: "It's none of our business. Something happened in the palace. Something unexpected happened in the palace this morning. The Liao envoy was ready to assassinate him on the spot.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not succeed, but he heard that it was very dangerous. Prime Minister Pang Ji was kicked and he vomited blood. Those Liao people were restrained just as they started to move. There was not a single Liao person left in Guanyi.
All of them were killed by the emperor. The autopsy said that the corpses of the Liao people had one thing in common: they had no ears. We don’t know why or what their purpose was."
Tangtang smiled and said: "How could those stupid Liao people think of going to the palace to assassinate the emperor? If the emperor was so easy to assassinate, the former Pu King and the current Shanyang Gong would have been assassinated countless times. One of the palaces in Nuo Da is
It’s a big trap, and only a fool would crawl into it.”
Xiaoman chuckled and said, "It's not impossible. Killing people should actually be left to women. Those people in Liao Kingdom are all big and thick. As long as they walk into the palace, they will be targeted by more than a hundred people immediately.
, the palace seems peaceful, but as long as they feel threatened, they will often get rid of it quickly, how can they give the Liao people a chance to take action.
It's a shame that the emperor was able to send a dignified prime minister to test his loyalty to the murderer. Isn't it true that His Majesty is a very kind emperor? Bao Zheng's saliva wouldn't make him angry even if he sprayed it on his face.
? How come you treat human life as if it’s not destiny in the blink of an eye? There must be something wrong with this."
Hua Niang frowned and said: "Then check it out and see why the emperor has changed so much. But I heard that the emperor's asthma attack was very severe. Could it be that he knew that he would not live long and planned to save his life?
The son paved the way?
Before paving the way, he first established his authority, and then looked for opportunities to denounce ministers. Now that the war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom was about to break out, he should not dare to deal with important ministers at this time. Once the Liao Kingdom's army faded, there might be a big leader in the Song Dynasty court.
