Chapter 63 The atmosphere is a little tense
Wang saw He Libo, as if he saw his relatives. He was uncomfortable talking in the study. Wang and He Libo returned to the inner house. There were wine and dishes in the hall. The two brothers chatted while drinking. In this chat, I felt that there were endless words. Between Wang and He Libo, Zhang Pingren was much closer than Zhe, and He Libo was much closer. He Libo was even more There are a lot of words to ask Wang,
The huge royal palace was quiet. Only there was a voice in the hall next to the king. Occasionally, there was laughter, scolding or sighs. The sound of "Dang, thon, thang, thang" came from outside the window. The watchman of the royal palace slowed down and changed the sound three times, reminding those who didn't sleep for four days now (one o'clock in the morning).
Wang stopped to tell the story and listened carefully: "It's been four updates."
He Libo stared at his slightly red eyes: "Yes, look at me. I forgot the time in this chat. Brother, you still have a lot to do tomorrow. Go to bed early."
Wang side smiled apologetically: "I can't wait to talk to Brother He. You have been running all the way. You must be tired. You really have something to do tomorrow. Let's not drink this wine. I'll take you to rest right away."
"Good." He Libow stood up and said, "Well, I remember that I went to Chenzhou with General Di and my brother. Our brother is the same. We always talk until late at night."
He Li's words also evoked the memory of the king. He suddenly said, "If you don't mind, brother, just rest on the couch for one night. Although I don't drink wine, I may not be asleep now. Why don't we talk about sleeping like back then?"
"Good, how can I mind?"
The lights were all out, and the men also retreated. The moonlight passed through the window lattice. The room was half bright and half dark. The king lay with his eyes open. There was a soft gurgling sound from the couch when He Li Bo turned over in the room.
"Brother He, have you fallen asleep yet?"
"Well, not yet." He Libo turned over and sat up, leaning on the couch around the quilt. "I'm thinking that during this period in Yongzhou, I saw a lot of different things, such as fields, schools, public carriages, and people from all over the world. It's a pity that I'm not from Song, and it's a pity that I'm not from Liaoning."
"What does Brother He mean?" Wang asked,
He Li Bo half squinted his eyes and sighed, "Now that I have passed my first year, I can't be like Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping in the Song Dynasty, and I can't go back to Liao to imitate my brother to do something, so I sighed."
This made Wang Jun couldn't help but be alert. He didn't want He Liba to return to Liao, let alone He Liba to go back to develop the Wanyan clan. He said quietly, "If Brother He wants to be an official, he can hand it over to his brothers. As for the matter in Liao, I don't think it's so pessimistic. The Liao Emperor still has a fancy to the Wanyan tribe. Isn't the person who impeached your brother Wanyan also have an official position in the Liao court?
"Ha ha, I don't want to be an official of the Song Dynasty. My brother has returned to the tribe now. You don't know that the State of Liao seems to be calm at present, but there is a lot of disputes in the court. My brother wrote that the officials of the Liao Dynasty are very fierce. Xiao Ying was sent to Xixia. Ye Luren went to calm down the chaos first, and the power of the Liao Dynasty fell. In Yelu Yixin's hand, do you still remember Xin Zan?
"Of course, I remember that when Prince Mountain built the tower, it was Xin's approval. When he beat the Japanese slaves, he was still the same. How can I forget it? I remember that he was Lin Ya of the Southern Court at that time, in charge of the tax administration of Hanrenzhou County. What happened to him?" Wang asked with concern,
"Xin Zan has made many achievements and has been promoted to official positions, but now Yelu Yixin is in power, excluding dissidents. All those who have different political opinions have been deposed. The emperor ignores the government and rides horses, shoots, songs and dances all day long. He doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all. Even the empress Xiao Guanyin, can he see the emperor and the ministers in the court now? It's precarious, not to mention our remote tribes.
Wang's side sighed gently in his heart. The Song Dynasty was changing, but the Liao Dynasty was still continuing its history. Yelu Yixin's ambition would become bigger and bigger. In this way, sooner or later, he would frame Xiao Guanyin. At that time, Yelu Hongji regretted it too late. "If Brother He is worried about his family, he might as well take them to the capital."
"How is that possible? The family is easy to do, and what about the clans? We can't move all the Wanyan tribes here. Now we can only take one step at a time."
The king comforted, "Don't worry, brother. There must be a road in front of the mountain. The matter of Liao is out of our reach now, not to mention that I can't care so much. The ancients have a saying: Raise the evil and wait for its success, and kill it in one fell swoop. If Yelu Yixin really makes waves, I think I will not let him go, not let him, not to mention, but also I have a brother."
"Forget it, I don't want him. If there is something really happen, my brother will also send me a letter. Let's say something else. I just heard you say that there will be a blind date in the court tomorrow, and I also heard that some of you have interviewed. Is this interview the same as choosing a concubine? Now your two wives are pregnant. Are you bored? If you want to get close to the water platform, you have to get the moon first, haha"
Wang also laughed: "Brother He, don't you know me? I'm an upright and unfaithful person, haha"
"You are upright, I believe that there is no man who doesn't care. I just play care. Whoever doesn't like beautiful women."
Wang asked, "Do you want to go to the palace with me tomorrow to see this flower viewing blind date?"
"Good, it happens that my wife is not with me, but can I go?" He Li's spirit came to this, and there was no slight depression just now,
"Of course I can. What else can't I take you there, but I have to let my eldest brother be my personal bodyguard to show you what Zhao Yu looks like when he is the emperor now."
"I don't see what he is doing. It's not that I haven't seen him. I went there to see beautiful women watching the fun, hahaha." He Li's bright laughter was particularly loud at night,
The royal flower viewing banquet is in the back garden of the imperial city. It takes a few hundred meters from the arch gate at the northernmost end of the imperial city. To the west, the Linhua Gate is the main entrance of the royal back garden. A lot of sedan chairs were parked at the gate of the garden today. The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs checked the people in the sedan chair. After checking the list, he asked people to straighten the sedan chair. Take it to the garden and send it to a room in the Taiqing Hall,
The sedan chair stopped, and the people in the sedan chair got off the sedan chair one after another. It turned out to be ten young girls, each of whom stood up. They got out of the sedan chair and looked around the royal palace nervously and curiously,
"Hon, everyone." A loud greeting focused the attention of the confused girls. A handsome young man stood on the steps of the door of the palace: "See the prince." The girls bowed in unison,
"Free gift, girls, I've already met you. After a while, I'll just say that everyone can do it. And don't be shy. Love should be bold."
The girls couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing secretly. Some of them asked, "Your Majesty, what if we are rejected?"
Wang side smiled and said, "Look at you, you are all beautiful women. You must seize such a good opportunity to show yourself. Besides, there are only a few people who attended the blind date today. A large number of promising young people and promising young people's fathers are eagerly watching you anxious. If you can't hold hands today, I believe to go back. There must be a sister-in-law kicking through the threshold of your house. You just wait and choose slowly.
The girls all laughed again. He Liyu whispered beside the king and said, "Hey, it's really eye-catching."
The king squeezed his eyes at him, turned his head and said to the girls, "You go to the hall first to rest, and someone will call you out later. Remember what I said to you."
After he finished speaking, he took He Libai to the hall. At this time, the hall was very lively. There were several long tables in the center of the hall, full of fruits and refreshments. Unlike the previous flower viewing banquets, Song Shenzong also learned from the king to have a buffet. Outside the hall is the imperial garden of the palace, the minister who appreciates flowers and poems. , scramble to show off your talents,
There were several bookcases on one side of the hall. The interested ministers recited poems and paintings in front of the case, and even talked loudly on the side. Several young people were sitting in the corner of the hall. They looked at the door of the hall from time to time and saw the king coming in. Several people gathered together: "Your Majesty, when will the blind date start? "."
Wang looked at several people who were sweating slightly on their foreheads, including Zhao Hao, Wang Yuanze, Ali Gu, Zhang Dunli and Han Zhongyan, Fan Zhengping,
"Look at your nervousness. You can see how happy the emperor is talking with the ministers at this time. Don't worry. The girls have arrived. Don't be dwindish for a while, haha." After laughing at the crowd, he called Yuan Ze aside and whispered, "Brother, I'll ask you again. If Miss De chose the prince first, what would you do?"
Wang Yuanze frowned: "If I can't do anything about it, then I have to follow my fate."
Wang patted him on the shoulder: "I'm a little confident. I'll behave well. I'm optimistic about you."
"Brother Wang, you are here."
Wang heard someone calling him. Looking back, he saw that Zhao Yu was standing behind him: "Your Majesty, the girls are all ready. Now I'm waiting for you to start."
Zhao Yu looked at Yuan Ze and pulled Wang aside: "We have agreed that you don't take favoritism."
"Don't worry, can I embarrass you in front of the empress dowager? When will the empress dowager arrive?"
"Yang Jian has been asked to invite the Empress Dowager. She will arrive in a minute. Can we start? The officials can't wait to see your blind date."
The king laughed and said, "Then the emperor announced that let everyone go to the Dingfu Palace and wait to watch the big play."
The ministers who participated in the flower viewing banquet gathered the Song Shenzong Zhao Yu to Dingfu Palace. Zhao Yu sat in the center of the stands. The officials sat on both sides of him. Without much effort, the empress dowager also came,
Today's empress dowager came with resentment. The princess did not say anything, and it was possible that her favorite daughter-in-law was chosen by others, but she couldn't rest assured. She sat down beside Zhao Yu with a watery face.
Pang Gong and Wang Anshi couldn't help but be nervous when they saw the Empress Dowager's look. In case this performance offended the Empress Dowager, it was not a joke. Thinking of the two ministers looking at each other, they quickly withdrew their eyes and stared nervously on the stage.
