I will never be Renzong

Chapter 147

In Yanfu Palace, after Zhao Zhen talked with the imperial sister Zhao Miner for a while, Zhao Miner went to the palace of the imperial concubine Li Binger. Li Binger had stayed with her mother in Dongzhen Temple for a while before, so Zhao Miner and Li Binger were familiar with each other. !
But Zhao Zhen was staring at the goldfish swimming in the lotus pond in a daze.

He only has one younger sister, and it was hard to raise her. The royal family has a young girl, and he doesn't want this younger sister to be a nun for the rest of her life. After all, it is a bit cruel to her.

He actually wanted to match Zhao Miner and Di Qing. Zhao Miner is only twenty-eight years old, and Di Qing is just a spirited guy under 20 years old. It's just that it's easy for Zhao Miner to return to vulgarity, but I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome to marry Di Qing. After all, Di Qing was born A bit low.

Zhang Mao, the servant, hurried over and said to Zhao Zhen: "Official! Concubine Du entered the palace to see the official!"

"Concubine Du?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and then thought that [-]% of them were sent with pills. After all, the Empress Dowager Liu E, Concubine Yang and others in the palace were all taking the pills refined by Dongzhen Temple. Zhao Zhen had the imperial doctor study it carefully. The formulas of these elixirs are all ordinary elixirs that are nourishing and beautifying, without adding precious metals or the like.

"Send someone to lead Concubine Du to the queen, and I will be there soon!"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said.

When Zhao Zhen arrived at Kunning Hall, Du was lecturing on the Tao Te Ching with Queen Cao Danshu, but Cao Danshu listened with great interest.

"Official!"

Cao Danshu first got up and saluted Zhao Zhen.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao Wuzhen has seen the official family!"

Du Shi, who was dressed in Taoist robes, also stood up and saluted Zhao Zhen.

"The concubine is exempt from the courtesy. After all, the concubine is also my elder. There is no reason for an elder to salute a junior!"

Zhao Zhen laughed hurriedly.

Du Qiong really hurriedly replied: "The poor Taoist has already converted to Taoism. He is an ordinary commoner in the Song Dynasty. Is there any king in the world? The poor Taoist should salute when he sees an official!"

Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "I remember that the founder of Taoism was Zhang Daoling, the Tianshi Zhang in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, and Tianshi Dao did not prohibit the disciples from marrying. Even Taoism places great emphasis on family relationships, so in my heart, the concubine has never been a master of enlightenment, but my relatives.

"There is one thing that I don't understand. In the decades since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Taizu, Taizong and the late emperors all believed in Taoism. But why did the officials not only not follow the ancestral system and believe in Taoism, but also deliberately alienate me from Taoism? Is it possible? Did my Taoist do anything that is not allowed by heaven?"

When Song Zhenzong was in power, there were many Taoist temples in the world. In the early days of Zhao Zhen's accession to the throne, Liu E was in power. After taking power, it can be said that apart from the Taoist priests summoned during the Buddhist and Taoist reforms, he has never been to a Taoist temple, nor has he summoned any celestial master to give lectures in the palace.

On the one hand, Du Qiongzhen entered the palace to send the pills, and on the other hand, he also asked why the current officials do not believe in Taoism.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Cao Danshu and said: "Danshu, the imperial sister is with the imperial concubine. You go and see her and let her live in the palace for a while!"

"It's the official family! I'm going to the slave family!"

Cao Danshu hurriedly bowed to Zhao Zhen, then went outside the hall and ordered the palace people not to disturb Du Qiongzhen and Zhao Zhen's discussion.

Empress Cao Danshu is still young, Zhao Zhen doesn't want her to get involved in many things
Zhao Zhen glanced at Du Qiongzhen and then said: "Before Emperor Taizu established the Song Dynasty, he received help from Taoists. Therefore, in the early days of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu respected Su Chengyin, Ma Zhitong, and several other highly respected Taoists. . But I remember that in the second year of Kaibao (972), Emperor Taizu rectified Taoism and allowed unqualified Taoist priests to return to the secular world. He also banned casual conversion of people into Taoism and did not allow Taoist priests to study astronomy and stars! I am afraid that they will use this to deceive people and cause trouble. The world is in chaos, thus endangering the stability of our Song Dynasty, so how can we say that Taizu believes in Taoism?"

"What about Emperor Taizong?"

Du Qiongzhen asked again.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "When Emperor Taizu passed away, several princes had already grown up, but it was Emperor Taizong who took over. Since ancient times, the dynasties in previous dynasties were passed down from father to son, but in our dynasty it was passed down from brother to brother. Naturally, bad rumors spread among the people. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Emperor Taizong had to ask Taoist Zhang Shouzhen to make up myths to prove the legitimacy of his succession to the throne. It seems that Emperor Taizong did not believe in Taoism, but wanted to know knowledge. Just use it to achieve your own goals! Are you right, Princess?"

Du Qiongzhen, a Taoist woman, naturally did not dare to criticize the Emperor Taizong, so he said: "As the saying goes, the son inherits his father's career, and the first emperor believed in Taoism. Why don't the officials believe it? The poor Taoist is very confused!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing and said: "The concubine wants to say, the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes. Why is my personality so different from the previous emperor's?"

Du Qiongzhen was also amused by Zhao Zhen's analogy.

Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "At the beginning of the first emperor's reign, he didn't believe in Taoism very much. Later, the Liao Kingdom invaded our Song Dynasty, and the first emperor was forced to sign an alliance with the Liao Kingdom. Although Song and Liao have lived in peace since then, the so-called peace It was exchanged by my Great Song Dynasty with money. It is unequal, spineless, and shameful. The first emperor was afraid that some people would be dissatisfied with this matter, so he advocated Taoism and tried to cover up his military failure by enshrining Zen in heavenly scriptures. In fact, in all fairness, the Emperor Xian is really a bit useless!"

Du Qiongzhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "How can the officials talk about the merits and demerits of the late emperor?"

Zhao Zhen smiled wryly and said: "It stands to reason that if I am a son of man, I should not speak of my father's faults, but I am not only the son of the late emperor, I am also the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so I must take the fault of the late emperor as a warning, Only in this way can the country and the people be safe!"

Zhao Zhen also likes to read the Tao Te Ching in private, because it contains rich principles of governing the country, but even so, he will not declare that he believes in Taoism, and he does not encourage ministers to believe in Buddhism and Taoism.

Seeing that Du Qiong was speechless, Zhao Zhen said again: "Concubine Tai, I know that it was not your intention to become a Taoist at the beginning. Why don't you return to the vulgar world and go back to the palace to live the rest of your life!"

Du Qiongzhen replied: "The poor Taoist has been in Taoism for many years, how can he be greedy for the worldly world."

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "The former emperor didn't like empresses and concubines wearing gold-embedded ornaments. In the past, the concubine violated the first emperor's edict, so she was punished by the first emperor to go to the cave to practice Taoism. It was not the concubine's intention!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao sincerely belongs to the Taoist sect, and the officials don't need to mention the matter of returning to the vulgar!"

Du Qiongzhen declined Zhao Zhen's proposal.

"The late emperor is gone, the concubine is unwilling to return to vulgarity, I will not force it, but the imperial sister must return to vulgarity, because I only have this younger sister, how can I let her be alone."

Du Qiongzhen sighed and replied: "So what if Min'er returns to the vulgar? After all, won't she become a victim of the royal family? And if Min'er returns to the vulgar, I'm afraid that Dang Xiang and the Liao Kingdom will come to ask for marriage and marriage, instead of letting Min'er Falling into the hands of tigers and wolves, it is better to follow the poor way to practice in Dongzhen Palace!"

"My princess of Song Dynasty will not use it for marriage. I can assure the concubine that I will make Min'er happy!"

Zhao Zhen said swearingly.

Du Qiongzhen suddenly looked at Zhao Zhen full of horror, then got up and knelt down in front of Zhao Zhen, begging: "Guanjia! Min'er is the official's younger sister, how can the Guanjia fall in love with his own sister, isn't it? "

Zhao Zhen was sweating profusely, and hurriedly helped Du Qiongzhen up, and then explained: "Concubine! You misunderstood! What I mean is that I will always protect Min'er and choose a good son-in-law for her. After all, she is My only sister!"

Seeing this, Du Qiong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then tentatively asked: "Min'er will be 16 years old soon, if she returns to vulgarity, she must be betrothed to someone else, but the officials already have a suitable candidate in their minds?"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "To be honest with the concubine, I have a candidate in mind, and that is Di Qing, but if Miner is unwilling, I will not force her!"

Seeing this, Du Qiongzhen hurriedly asked: "But Lord Wu'an Di Qing?"

Zhao Zhen said in surprise: "Exactly. Is it possible that the concubine knows Di Qing?"

Seeing this, Du Qiongzhen smiled and said: "Before the poor Taoist came, not only because of the reason, the carriage was frightened and lost control, and it was about to fall into the Bian River. Fortunately, Wu'an Lord Di Qing who was passing by rescued him, and the danger was saved!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help being stunned, thinking that Di Qing could do it, not only did a hero come to save the beauty, but even the future mother-in-law was saved after leaving the palace, this must be a fate arranged by heaven.

Du Qiongzhen went to the Ciyuan Hall to meet the Empress Dowager Liu E, and Zhao Zhen played with the elixir that Du Qiongzhen gave him. He didn't intend to eat it, because many emperors in history took elixir indiscriminately and ended up playing with themselves died.

But when he thought of his physique that was invulnerable to all poisons, he felt that it didn't matter. He sealed the two porcelain bottles, poured a pill in each of his palms, and smelled it, and a special medicinal fragrance came. I couldn't help sniffing my nose, and then put it in my mouth without thinking too much. I have to say that it is crunchy, and it's pretty good to eat like peanuts. After all, there are no peanuts in Song Dynasty.

After getting up and going to Funing Hall, I saw Huamei hurriedly came up to pay homage: "The official! The barbarian woman has been sent to the official's bedroom, and has finished bathing and changing clothes."

Zhao Zhen just ordered Aya to take a bath and change clothes, but did not arrange a place to stay, so Thrush made a mistake, thinking that the officials wanted to favor this woman, so after Aya took a bath and changed clothes, she asked the maid in the palace to verify her body. , and then the female medical officer checked her whole body, and after confirming that there was no disease, she was sent to Funing Hall.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen came to the palace and saw that Aya had changed into a blue thin skirt palace dress, but she was still tied up with five flowers.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward and looked at Aya carefully.

"Not bad! It looks much better after changing into this clothes, and it doesn't smell that bad anymore. By the way, do you barbarians don't like to take a bath?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly asked with a smile.

"There is no Aya who goes to Tanli to wash every day"

Aya said in an unfamiliar spoken language.

"Thrush? Why are you still tied?"

Zhao Zhen turned his head and asked the thrush.

"Officials! When this woman was just taking a bath, she wanted to knock the maid unconscious and escape, but fortunately, Huamei had prepared a few female guards who were skilled in martial arts in advance, and they subdued her!"

Thrush said hurriedly.

"Know martial arts? Just right, untie her!"

Zhao Zhen said to Thrush.

"Officials! This woman is fierce! I'm afraid~"

Thrush said with some worry.

"I'm not a vegetarian. Besides, there is no woman in this world that I can't conquer. Untie her!"

Zhao Zhen smiled.

Seeing this, Thrush had no choice but to go forward and untie the rope for Aya.

"Thrush, go and watch outside. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to come in!"

Seeing this, Huamei had to retreat.

"Your name is Aya, right! Come on! Come on and compete with me. If you beat me, I will not only let you go back, but also treat your people kindly!"

As Zhao Zhen spoke, he made a gesture, wanting to show her his bare hands.

"Seriously?"

Aya asked.

"You have no jokes!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he raised his fist and rushed towards Aya. Unexpectedly, he just rushed in front of Aya, only to see Aya turn around, avoid Zhao Zhen's fist, and then grabbed Zhao Zhen's fist. There was a beautiful over-the-shoulder fall on the arm, and Zhao Zhen was thrown out immediately.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhao Zhen got up and said with a smile: "How can you barbarians fall over your shoulder?"

"you lose?"

Aya said lightly.

"Only if you subdue me will you lose. At most, I will be thrown out. How can this count?"

Zhao Zhen smiled.

Seeing this, Aya rushed towards Zhao Zhen angrily, first she slapped Zhao Zhen, and then instead of retreating, she turned around and threw Zhao Zhen over the shoulder again, but this time, she didn't stand up for Zhao Zhen Opportunity, but turned around and pressed Zhao Zhen to the ground.

"you lose?"

Aya said coldly.

Being made like this by a barbarian girl, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt very ashamed and wanted to get up, but found that his hands were restrained and he couldn't resist.

"Okay! If I lose, I promise to let you go and treat your people well!"

After a stalemate for half a stick of incense, Zhao Zhen finally conceded.

Aya let go of Zhao Zhen's hand, then turned around and walked outside.

"Ah~my belly~"

As soon as Aya took a few steps, Zhao Zhen behind her let out a scream. She hurriedly stopped, and turned around to look at Zhao Zhen who was squatting on the ground and clutching his stomach not far away.

Could it be an internal injury?If this is the case, not only will I not be able to withdraw, but I will cause trouble to the clansmen. Thinking of this, she hurriedly came to Zhao Zhen's side to check his injuries, but she didn't want to find that Zhao Zhen's body was very sick when her hand just touched Zhao Zhen's body. hot.

"Fuck! Could it be the effect of the medicine? Isn't I invulnerable to all poisons?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help cursing angrily.

"How are you doing?"

Aya asked worriedly.

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and raised his head, looking at the beautiful face in front of him, wheat complexion, protruding beauty, asked in a low voice: "Are you really the number one barbarian beauty?"

"Ok?"

Aya nodded in a rare shy way. She was selected as the number one beauty of the barbarians when she was six years old.

"I want you!"

Zhao Zhen roared, then threw Aya to the ground.

"You don't count!"

Aya said while struggling.

But the two pills of strengthening body pill and strengthening yang pill broke out together, and Zhao Zhen's power seemed to have broken through the forbidden area of ​​human beings. All Aya can do at this time is to give up resistance and turn to Cheng Huan.
