[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin."

She held up the ox horn cup high, dragged her wide skirt, walked up to Wu Qimai, and slightly bent her knees.Wu Qimai stared coldly, and the guards around him immediately drew out their scimitars.She smiled lightly, neither afraid nor annoyed, her shadow swayed in the candlelight and firelight, like a coquettish poppy.

Poisonous, yet shockingly beautiful.

"Your Majesty the Emperor." Her voice seemed to be lower, showing a bit of annoyance and unwillingness, "I dedicate myself to you in exchange for my brother. Now instead of letting my brother go, you even held a palace banquet , let me act as a beautiful vase, this is—what is the reason for this?"

The more ignorant she was, the angrier Wu Qimai became.

The more innocent and harmless she is, the more frightened Wu Qimai is.

Such a beautiful poppy can feign death to escape the sanctions of the Jin people, can make the princes of the Jin Kingdom die and abolish, can instigate Song generals to take down the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and can create chaos in the city before taking the opportunity to kidnap Go Song Emperor Song Concubine...

She, how, what, can, can, no, knows, world, things!

Not to mention that she easily bypassed all the guards today, and braved the torrential rain, and quietly appeared in the Taimiao...

Since this Empress, since she can appear in the heavily guarded Taimiao, it means that every corner of the capital, no matter whether the guards are heavily guarded or not, cannot stop her.

Is it possible that such an emperor is ignorant of worldly affairs?Is it possible to be innocent and harmless?

It would be fine if he didn't buy Wu Qi and cut his throat with a knife!

The look of surprise in Wu Qimai's eyes became even more serious, his hands tightly squeezed the horn cup, his knuckles creaked, and they faintly turned white.The surrounding guards held knives one by one, staring at Song Guo Di Ji in front of them, waiting for the final order from His Majesty the Emperor.

"Why is there a palace banquet?..." Wu Qimai stood up slowly, and hummed softly, "If you didn't have hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at you, where would you be? Huanyi Bureau The Taimiao? The Golden Camp? Hmph...Roufu Diji, I have never dared to underestimate your supernatural power. The fourth prince's collapse was also your fault, right?"

He said the last sentence quite gritted his teeth.

Hmm, fourth prince Zongbi, Jin Wushu?

Now, he has fallen to the point of being completely helpless?

shouldn't be...

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, and the vigilance in his heart increased a little.Wu Qimai is much stronger than she thought, and it is also much more difficult to deal with.If he is an emperor who loves beautiful women, or even an emperor who has a strong desire for power, she has ways to deal with him.But right now it seems...it seems, difficult.

She put down the horn cup with a smile, folded her hands squarely in front of her lower abdomen, and bowed her head: "Your Majesty's praise."

Wu Qimai suddenly said: "This is not the etiquette of the Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty really knows my Great Song very well." The smile on Zhao Yuan's face deepened, "That's right, this is not the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, but the court etiquette of the Great Han Dynasty thousands of years ago."

——Your Majesty really knows me, Da Song, like the palm of his hand.

——This is a thousand years ago, the court ceremony of the Han Dynasty.

Wu Qimai felt a chill running down his back again.He felt more and more that there was endless malice behind every word and every sentence of this Emperor Ji.I hope it's because he thinks too much, I hope it's because he is too suspicious...

"Since your Majesty knows Song so well, you naturally know that my Da Song attaches great importance to scholar-bureaucrats?" She sneered, and then performed a big Han court ceremony, "Your Majesty, drink yourself, soft blessing Retire."

Wu Qimai's expression changed again.

Of course he knew that Da Song attached great importance to scholar-bureaucrats, and his emphasis on literature over military affairs has reached an extreme perverted point.It is precisely because of this that as long as these scholars are firmly controlled, the entire Song Dynasty will also be controlled.The most wonderful thing is that most of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty are stupid in reading and reading. There is nothing else in their minds except the gentleman's wind and the king's way, humility, courtesy, gentleness, respectfulness and thrift...

But this imperial concubine... this Roufu imperial concubine who is said to have shaken the entire Song Kingdom with a slight stomp...

She seemed to see it.

Zhao Yuan clings to the horn cup and returns to her seat, acting as her vase.A large number of the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin were already drunk, and some of them even wanted to come over to toast her.She covered her mouth with her big sleeve with a smile, drank the wine in the horn cup, frowned suddenly, and said with a bit of distaste: "Compared to Bianliang fine wine, this wine is very inferior."

"Oh?" The drunk nobleman of the Kingdom of Jin became interested, "What does the good wine from Bianliang look like?"

"I don't know about that." She pursed her lips into a smile, beckoned Zhao Kai, and said softly, "Third brother is a refined scholar who is skilled in everything from fine brushwork and calligraphy to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as fine wine and beauties. Well, San Brother, tell me, how is the fine wine in Bianliang?"

Suddenly Zhao Kai's face felt a little unhappy.

Zhao Yuan pinched him silently, and said with a smile on his face, "Third brother, tell me quickly."

Zhao Kai cleared his throat, and said, "The local wine in Bianliang is not very good. But the tribute wine from various prefectures..."

"Third brother must be proficient in wine making?" Zhao Yuan interrupted suddenly, and slowly changed the topic from "The Song Dynasty is rich all over the world" to "How to brew fine wine".Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he really started to talk about how to brew fine wine, and even lamented that he was far away in the Kingdom of Jin, and the wine was inferior, it was really bad, very bad...

The nobles of the Kingdom of Jin listened with great interest, and called the clerk to write down the wine making methods one by one, ready to go back and experiment.

Zhao Yuan always maintained a kind smile, his eyes were as bright as water, and his style was as picturesque.

In this ancient age, food was needed for brewing and steaming wine.

The better the wine, the more food it consumes.

Even in the Great Song Dynasty, tribute wine was rare.But this sentence cannot be said to the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin, it is better to let them compete in brewing wine, brew the best wine in the world, and even suppress all the tribute wine of the Song Dynasty...

"After heavy coma -"

A sharp and thin voice attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Yuan raised his eyes and looked towards the gate of the palace, and sure enough, he saw her cheap imperial brother Zhao Huan, wearing a light yellow brocade robe, with his hands behind his back, with a sad face, surrounded by Song officials and under the "care" of Jin people. , walked in step by step.

The moment he saw Zhao Yuan, Zhao Huan's eyes lit up for a moment, and then immediately dimmed again.He slowly moved to Wu Qimai, and bowed with a heavy heart: "... See Your Majesty."

Wu Qimai didn't even lift his eyelids, sneered twice, pointed at Zhao Yuan and said, "Your good sister wants to exchange herself for her brother. But according to my opinion, it is Zhao Kai who she wants to exchange, not Zhao Yuan. you."

Zhao Huan looked straight at this side, with a hint of imperceptible anger in his eyes.

"Ha." Wu Qimai showed the first smiling expression of the day, "I see, Roufu Diji is a little closer to Zhao Kai than to you. You should go and talk to your sister Rou Fu, how about talking about the old days?"

Zhao Huan thanked him slowly, and walked over here.

He walked extremely slowly, but for a short distance, it seemed as long as thousands of rivers and mountains.

Zhao Kai had already taken a step back, bowed deeply, and called "Brother Huang".There are a lot of people here, and it is called "official house", so there is no guarantee that the head will not fall in the next moment, and it will be Zhao Huan's head.

No joy or anger could be seen on Zhao Huan's face, he let out a slow "huh" and cast his eyes on Zhao Yuan again.

Zhao Yuan also got up, and gave Zhao Huan a deep blessing: "Brother Huang."

"I believe that the imperial sister will definitely come."

Zhao Huan spoke Bianliang official dialect, which most of the surrounding nobles of the Jin Kingdom could not understand.Zhao Kai and Zhao Yuan were the only two who could understand, one pretended not to hear, and the other had a slightly stiff expression: "Brother Huang, this is...he has great confidence in Roufu."

"The imperial sister will definitely not leave me alone." Zhao Huan seemed to be saying to her, and he seemed to be saying to himself.The surrounding nobles of the Kingdom of Jin had already started pushing and shoving Zhao Huan because of their language barrier.Zhao Huan was a little dazed, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled at Zhao Yuan: "The only thing I can do now is to share the joys and sorrows with all the officials. Huanhuan, I will leave the rest to you. You—— Don't let me down."

Zhao Yuan was so startled that he almost jumped up.

What do you mean by "Leave the rest to you"?He is the emperor!

Zhao Kai was also taken aback, and then smiled deeply.Cowardly and incompetent, cowardly and incompetent... Judging from Zhao Huan's consistent performance, these four words are really appropriate.If you insist on adding four words, it should be: intentional but powerless.

No one would be willing to be a prisoner of the Kingdom of Jin, especially Tian of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Huan...he had no idea how to change all this.

Previously, it was based on a kind of emperor's intuition to win over the Zhong family; it was also based on this keen intuition to return to Shangjing to "share joys and sorrows" with the officials; now he said to Zhao Yuan, "I will leave everything to you"...

Ugh.

With such a soft official family, it's no wonder that Zhao Gou always wanted to squeeze it.

But the saddest thing in this world is the powerlessness.

He knew that Da Song should reorganize the country, he knew that Da Song could only rely on himself, he knew that only Da Song's national strength could resist the foreign cavalry going south... Unfortunately, he was powerless.

If Zhao Huansheng was in the Renzong period, he might not have been a successful king.Although weak and incompetent, it is precisely this cowardly and incompetent character that can tolerate the existence of a large group of strong and capable men.For example, Han Qi.Such as Bao Zheng.

But born in the last days, he was doomed to be a subjugated and faint king.

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Huan silently for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Brother Huang." She said, "My sister will certainly stick to her duty and do her best to not embarrass Brother Pope."

With Zhao Huan's temperament, it is very easy to listen to and believe in one side.

You can become a subjugated and faint king, or you can become...a wise and benevolent king.

Just be the person he trusts and relies on the most.
