[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Bianliang City in midsummer does not have the blooming flowers in spring, but it is a little more crowded with people.The bustling streets, crowds of people, and the bustling Zhouqiao Night Market all show the grandeur of the prosperous age.This is the most fertile era recorded in history books, and the country is well-deserved.

On the avenue leading to the imperial city, at some point, there were two more teams of guards, and a whole set of guards of honor for the prince.However, the magnificent guard of honor was empty.The young prince rode on a white horse, crossed the Baqiao one after the other with an imposing young general, and walked slowly towards the palace.

"Aunt really doesn't want to come?" The prince frowned slightly.

"If you enter the capital without an edict, you will definitely be read by the Yushitai. The princess—she doesn't want to cause more trouble."

The prince said "Oh", quite disappointed.

"Your Highness, please be at ease." The young general raised his head, looked at the unknown direction, and said in a low voice, "The princess is at the junction of Zhuozhou and Bianzhou. If you move quickly, you can arrive in three or two days." Bianliang." There was another sentence he didn't say, the princess knew everything about Bianliang.

Because half a month ago, he just gave the princess a batch of personal guards he had trained.

The prince was slightly relieved, and pointed his whip at the palace: "Then let's hurry up."

"Yes."

"Master Hou——" the crown prince suddenly turned his head and gave him a weird smile, "I heard that the imperial physician has just prepared a potion according to an ancient prescription, which can erase all the tattoos on the face. General Yue has already used it , General Han said to wait for you to use it first, and my aunt has asked Gu many times, when are you going to set an example for the three armed forces?"

The young general bowed slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing; "After meeting the official family, I will remove the tattoo."

The prince sneered twice: "Auntie is right, you are really cautious."

"I dare not."

"Come on, is there anything in the world that you don't dare to do? Even if you don't dare, the lonely princess aunt will make things neat and beautiful for you. You and I should hurry up, Mo I want to make my father wait anxiously, and I want to punish the palace servants."

The prince seems to be very talkative today, nagging and talking to the people around him.Not only did Lord Hou, who entered Beijing at the same time, suffer, but even the ears of his entourage suffered a lot.Fortunately, the distance to the imperial palace was not far away, and within half an hour, the group dismounted from their sedan chairs and were carried into the imperial city.

The new Lord Hou was very silent, let the guards confiscate the saber and dagger, searched his body again, and then stepped into the Chuigong Hall.

Before coming to Bianliang, the princess had carefully told him: be careful that this is a grand feast.

He also once laughed at her mischievously: If it was a Hongmen banquet, how could the officials tolerate him for so many years and never let him go?

The princess explained patiently: "The officials don't want to deal with you, but it doesn't mean that others don't want to deal with you."Have you forgotten that Empress Lu ordered Xiao He to pass Han Xin into the palace, and then stabbed Han Xin to death with a bamboo stick?

He was silent for a long time before replying: I believe in officials.

The princess didn't say anything more, took out half of the fish charm from him, turned around and went to her fief.

He is very clear that once something really happens in Bianliang, the princess will definitely use the fish charm to dispatch the Western Army, and in the name of "Yanyun's exclusive power", let Cang Yunqi enter the capital through Yanzhou and Zhuozhou to control the whole situation .

In the past, he was considerate of the princess who cared about him and caused chaos, but now, what he is most afraid of is the princess's "care will cause chaos".

"Master Hou, please."

A shrill voice sounded in front of him, and then someone raised the bead curtain for him.He raised his head and found that the hall was full of many people, most of whom were dressed as civil servants.The officials of the Song Dynasty sat high on the head, drinking tea with their heads turned sideways, with no expression of joy or anger.His Royal Highness the young crown prince was sitting beside the dragon chair, also expressionless.

He took two steps forward and saluted respectfully, even the most picky etiquette officer couldn't find anything wrong.

"Sit down." The official's voice sounded flatly from above.

He respectfully thanked the official for the seat, and walked step by step to the position of the crown prince.Countless eyes pierced his back, some were surprised, some were angry, and some were gloating.He straightened his back and sat down awe-inspiringly, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his lacquered eyes were deep and invisible, revealing a slight anger.

Once upon a time, Di Qing also sat in this position.

Once, his grandfather stood in the Chuigong Hall and argued with Tong Guan, and finally returned to the northwest sadly, so angry that he couldn't eat for three days.

once……

"Young prince is indeed a young hero." The official turned around and smiled at him: "Why didn't Roufu come with you?"

"I don't dare to speculate on Diji's deep meaning."

"Emperor Ji doesn't have any deep meaning at all." The official laughed twice, and casually ordered, "Come here, go and invite Rou Fu back. Just say, I have a very important matter and I want to discuss it with her. "

Lang Guan, who was waiting for the pen and ink, had already passed on the words, and those piercing gazes softened a little.

"You can know that, I and everyone are fair, what is the thing that I admire most about you?"

"I am frightened."

"It's because you know how to advance and retreat, and understand etiquette." The official said gently.

Zhong Yi suddenly shivered, raised his head slightly and looked around, and found that the eyes of the people around him were much gentler.He couldn't help thinking, if Roufu Diji insisted on coming back with him today, or if the sentence he just answered was not "I dare not guess Diji's deep meaning", how would the officials punish him.

The reason why Roufu can act recklessly is because her surname is Zhao, and she is a woman, so she is not a threat to the officials.

As for himself... a prince with a foreign surname with great military achievements...

"Okay, you have seen and seen, and you have seen and seen, so let's go away. The prince stays, and I have something to tell you. The prince will stay in the palace to rest tonight. I and the Taifu will have a test Your homework. Order Yue Fei to enter the palace immediately without delay." The official finished speaking in one breath.

Someone nearby reminded timidly: "Officials, in half an hour at night, the palace gate will be unlocked."

"It's okay." The official waved his hand, smiling very warmly.

The ministers in the palace resigned sparsely, and even the crown prince also resigned.Not long after, the heavily armed General Yue Feiyue came to the Chui Gong Hall.The official narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhong Yi at the lower head, and asked gently: "Why is Ai Qing unwilling to wash off the tattoos on his face? You deserve to set an example for the soldiers of the world. "

Zhong Yi paused for a moment, bowed and saluted: "Minister, lead the order."

"Are you worried that I will imitate the old things of Renzong?" The officials seemed to be enlightened, and they seemed to be dumbfounded, pointing to Yue Fei and said, "Look, General Yue is much happier than you. The prince, the prince, there are no outsiders in the hanging palace right now. I want to tell you to do one thing—”

Zhong Yi froze.

It might not be a good thing for the officials to dismiss everyone and leave him and Yue Fei alone.

"I want you to lead the army into the palace, put me under house arrest, and help the crown prince come to power!"

"Official!"

"Officials are not allowed!"

The two brave generals Qi Qi turned pale, and knelt down in front of Zhao Huan one after the other, with their heads lowered, not daring to meet Zhao Huan's gaze.A pair of boots with gold pattern and dark soles suddenly appeared in the sight of the two generals, followed by Zhao Huan's rather displeased voice: "I'm not trying to test you, so don't resist and disobey."

"Officials!" Zhong Yi spat out two words in a deep voice.

"Heh." Zhao Huan smiled lightly, "You really don't want to do it?"

"I dare not."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Huan nodded again and again, pointing at Yue Fei and said, "You, please invite Zhonghou to the Taimiao. I heard that Zhonghou is quite good at writing and calligraphy, which is quite different from ordinary generals. You should ask him for advice." Words. As for Yue Fei, you should also accompany him in reciting poems and composing lyrics, no one is allowed to step out of the Taimiao without my order!"

"Minister—lead the decree."

"The minister leads the order."

Yue Fei stood up, took half a step sideways, and made a "please" gesture.

Zhao Huan looked at the flickering candle flames, and at the backs of the two people who were receding away, and smiled imperceptibly.

"Show the Prince's East Palace. When Princess Yan comes back, let her immediately enter the palace to face the saint."

The attendant at the side said yes, and quietly left Funing Palace.Under the cover of night, no one noticed his actions at all.
