Chapter 111 The Palace is taboo
Xingqing Mansion in Xixia was very lively on this day. The emperor went back to the city. Xingqing Mansion stood soldiers on both sides of the place where the emperor drove the ceremonial guard passed from the gate of the city.
Behind the soldiers are the people kneeling to welcome the holy car. Hundreds of officials outside the imperial city lined up to welcome each other, and the inner courtyard of the imperial city were internal ministers and concubines in the harem. All the places where the emperor drove through were loess cushions, the water was splashed on the street, and the places where the honor guard passed was noisy.
The people who have good things secretly took a look at the saint's dragon face. After the honor guard passed by, the officers and soldiers withdrew and the people whispered: "Who is behind the emperor?"
Some people said, "Isn't that old general General Manma?"
"Yes, yes, we all know this general. Who is the young man who walked behind the emperor with the general?"
Some people said, "That doesn't seem to be an official. Why does it look familiar?"
Three or five people gathered together to whisper, and one of them, a young man in his twenties, frowned and said, "Why do I think this person is very similar to the man who taught Mr. Lazi a lesson that day?"
Another curled his lips and said, "You think it's good. If it's that man, I don't think your shopkeeper is afraid of the hot man. Why do you go out of the store?"
The young man made a "boo" gesture: "Be quiet, our shopkeeper's inventory notice is for outsiders. He is not short of these money. He gave this store to our brothers, and they will listen to our big brother in the future.
As they spoke, they walked to their respective stores and said to the older ones, "Xiao Wu, is it true that your shopkeeper is going to go with the prince?"
He was called Xiao Wu and shook his head: "I don't know, but if we can take us away, we are willing to follow the shopkeeper."
The clerk in the grocery store next to him patted him: "You think it's beautiful. I heard that there are many young and beautiful women in the Central Plains. I still want to go."
Xiaowu smiled and said, "We Han women are beautiful."
The grocery store clerk is from the People of the grocery store. He smiled and said, "But they are all like the Liang family, and I dare not take it." Several people will understand that they will disperse with a smile.
Xiaowu returned to the blacksmith's shop and saw that the shopkeeper He Xingyuan had almost organized everything. He came up and said with a hippie smile, "Master, our casting is still young, and you also need someone to take care of it. Why don't you talk to the prince again and take me with you?"
Xiaowu is the youngest of Mr. He's clerk. Mr. He patted his head: "Go work honestly, not to mention that Mr. Wang won't let him go. Your cousin didn't ask you to help you find a messenger in the bodyguard, and you won't go."
Xiao Wu smiled naively: "I'm not going to be that bad job. If you take me with me, I will resign with my cousin tomorrow."
He Xingyuan ignored him. If Wang is willing, He Xingyuan is really willing to take Xiaowu. Although it is not too difficult to distinguish stones, among these apprentices, Shu Xiaowu learns well, and not only does he create things ingeniously.
"Yes, Master, I just saw Mr. Wang." Xiao Wu remembered and said what he had just seen on the street. He Xingyuan said yes and didn't reply. Xiao Wu said that it was boring. He ran aside to think about something and wonder how he could grind the master to take him with him.
Li Liangzuo finally returned to the palace. Liang Luoyao led the team to take over the concubine outside the hall. An inner minister helped Li Liangzuo get out of the dragon's wheel. Li Liang Luoyao walked into the hall together and followed the civil and military officials behind them. Among these people, Wang had seen each other, but it was obviously not the time to say hello.
The sound of drum music stopped. Li Liangzuo and Liang Luoyao sat on the dragon bed of the throne in the hall and knelt down under the reception of hundreds of officials. Liang Luoyao looked up and knelt down on the hall. At the end of all the officials, a young man bowed and bowed without kneeling.
She pulled Li Liangzuo's robe sleeve, and Li Liangzuo also saw it. Not only did she see it, but he also smiled at the man. Now Liang Luoyao was even more curious. Li Liangzuo patted her hand. After the officials knelt down and saluted, they stood in two classes of literature and martial arts like officials of the State of Song. Li Liangzuo said, "Today, I will return to the court. I am very gratified to see that the court is safe in the court, and all officials perform their respective duties."
He was not very old, but he said something serious. Then he ordered the king to come closer, and the king came forward to see the present and the future. Li Liangzuo introduced to everyone: "This messenger next to the king is the trade envoy of the State of Song. Now I want to express the sincerity of trade to the State of Song. I don't know if you can have any objection."
It was not a day or two for Wang to come to Xia. He gave a speech in the college and some officials he met with Wang under the arrangement of Li Xili. Of course, these people are in favor of opening a field trade with the State of Song. The first ones to speak were the deputy envoy of the Pastoral Department: Wu Hao and the salt iron envoy Xu Min. The two of them are running for the horse city and the salt city. When Li Liangzuo was not in Xingqing Mansion, he also reported the memorials, which were all approved by Empress Liang. Naturally, they were in favor of trade.
At the same time, most Han officials also agree, such as the official affairs of Kaifeng Mansion: Xue Yuanli; Zhang Jiang, the deputy envoy of the Third Division. Even if there are opponents, seeing that the majority agree, it is the emperor's instruction, and the only official in the court who can sit on the court, the Privy Councilman, all brushed his beard and nodded his head. Who can object?
But Wang Zong almost didn't hear the words in everyone's words. Since he approached Li Liangzuo and saw the queen Liang Luoyao beside the emperor, Wang was a little confused. He tried his best to restrain his mind before he refocused his attention from surprise on the statements of Xia officials.
Liang Luoyao was about 20 years old, with a phoenix hairpin on her head and exposed her temples. She swept her eyebrows with spring in her eyes, and her face was like peach blossoms. Wearing a big red narrow jacket and a red Confucian skirt embroidered with gold thread, she doesn't look like a modern bride, especially her bright eyes, which look like autumn waves. Sure enough, she is a stunning beauty, not inferior to the moon, but more delicate than the moon.
In the mind of the king, there was a scene like a movie. The bride in a big red Chinese cheongsam at the banquet. What Wang said was not the wedding of the Song Dynasty and Yuexia, but the wedding before he did not travel through his previous life. These flashed in his mind, not fascinated by the queen Liang Luoyao, but Liang Luoyao looked exactly like his wife in his previous life.
The woman who wanted to be separated from him in the end suddenly thought of Liang Luoyao's worldly wisdom, just like that woman. It was not all excuses for someone outside. The real reason for the breakup between the two is that he can't give her the life she wants.
Thinking of this, Wang's heart was a little blocked, and he didn't want to see Liang Luoyao again, and even had a little disgust with Liang Luoyao. But he didn't know that Liang Luoyao was also stunned at this time.
Li Xili Taiwen, Li Liangzuo is too domineering. The man's temperament and demeanor are perfectly unified in the king's side, especially his proud demeanor, but he doesn't look at himself? Liang Luoyao is a little annoyed. Who else in the world will not fall in love with herself? She can make her son's jealous, make Li Xili lose his soul, and let Li Liangzuo make himself the queen.
But the king in front of him not only came to the State of Xia and didn't see him, but he was indifferent when he saw himself. She thought that it was normal for the Song people's Confucianism in public not to lose their honor.
Everyone talked about it. Li Liangzuo was satisfied. Liang Luoyao whispered, "The emperor is also tired today. It's better to take a rest first. How about inviting the envoy to talk in the palace tomorrow?"
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Li Liangzuo asked, "In this case, which minister is willing to send an envoy to the State of Song for me and present a New Year's gift to show the sincerity of trade?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xili stood up and said, "I would like to go." Wang is invited by him, and it is normal to come and go back and forth. Moreover, he is a royal relative and a native of Fan, and he is proficient in Han culture. He is the most suitable candidate. Li Liangzuo also thought that this person was a good choice, so he sent an order for him to prepare, and ordered to reward the king.
After arranging these, Li Liangzuo ordered the king to enter the palace the next day, and he wanted to practice for the king in person. Wang went back to Guan Yi to prepare and asked Cai Jing to inform He Xingyuan.
Wang is about to return to Bianjing, and He Xingyuan is about to leave. Xiao Wu also wanted to follow him. He thought that if Wang didn't take him with him, he would follow him. Anyway, after leaving Xingqing Mansion, they were embarrassed to send themselves back. After making up his mind, he went to his cousin, the foreman who was a bodyguard in Yiweisi.
The two brothers drank a little wine, and the foreman was called away by the soldiers in the spicy house. Xiaowu drank by himself. After an hour, the foreman's face did not seem to be so smooth when he came back. Xiao Wu hurriedly asked why he was called away. The foreman said hesitantly, I think you'd better not follow him.
Seeing that his cousin's expression was wrong, Xiaowu poured more wine, and the foreman said the truth. When the king enters the palace next to tomorrow, it is their group on duty. Ji Laqing and Liang Yi discussed and let them guard at the "Guanghanmen" and the "Huaimen" in the north, and special order is that someone will break through the door tomorrow, which can be cut first and then played.
Xiaowu's cousin thought of what Xiaowu said that after the emperor practiced it to the king tomorrow, he would follow him. So he muttered in his heart that the king was next to the people of the State of Song, that is, he probably didn't know the taboos of the palace. I also guessed, so I told Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu immediately put down his glass and went back to find He Xingyuan. He Xingyuan was also shocked when he heard this. He immediately took Xiao Wu to the post where Wang lived. When he saw Wang, he told him about it again.
Wang Bing frowned and meditated. If it was the idea of Li Qing and Liang Yi, then it must be himself who broke through the Guanghan Gate. After thanking He Xingyuan, he asked if he knew about the taboo He shopkeeper in the imperial city.
He Xingyuan smiled. If you ask others, most of them may not know. If you ask him, you will ask the right person. He took out a picture specially brought from his arms and said, "Mr. Wang, when his biological father was alive, he secretly drew this picture. It seems that it is really predestined. It is actually used today."
The king took over the picture and was overjoyed. In the picture, there are not only all the taboo gates of the palace, but also the name of the whole palace building, including the bedroom of the prince next to the king.
