[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

Ever since finding out the evidence of King Xiangyang's rebellion, Zhao Zhen has always felt uneasy.

Zhao Jue, King of Xiangyang, is only a fictional character in the novel, and there is no such person in history.In the novel, Zhao Jue is greedy, lustful, cruel, fornicating foreign countries, colluding with treacherous parties, building skyscrapers, and colluding with a group of people from the rivers and lakes to commit chaos.

The King of Xiangyang, Zhao Jue, is very low-key here.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, he sealed off his brothers, and Zhao Jue left Beijing overnight after receiving the title of King of Xiangyang, and did not enter Bianliang for more than [-] years.Every year, there are big and small palace banquets held in the palace, and Zhao Jue has always been so polite that no one can meet them.The first emperor never cared about him, and let him pretend to be sick every year and not come to worship every year.

After the death of the first emperor and Zhao Zhen's ascension to the throne, Zhao Jue couldn't come back because of "excessive worry and worry, which caused old illnesses".As a nephew, Zhao Zhen couldn't ask the emperor's uncle to go all the way sick.What's more, Zhao Zhen was deeply influenced by the novel, and he was wary of Zhao Jue from the bottom of his heart, hoping that he would pretend to be an ostrich for the rest of his life!

Let's talk about Zhao Jue.

The local emperor, who was supposed to be pampered and pampered, lived like an ascetic monk.

Zhao Jue has no wife and no children in his middle age, and has been a vegetarian all year round, obsessed with alchemy. It is said that in order to become a fairy and not be close to women, what kind of child skills do he practice?Zhao Zhen can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head - Zhao Jue is not greedy, lustful, greedy or gambling, what's the point of living?Who will it be passed on to after usurping the throne?

It can only be said that the throne is indeed very attractive, and it is worth Zhao Jue to abandon his comfortable life and take risks.

Even if Zhao Zhen holds the evidence of King Xiangyang's rebellion, he can't do anything about him.

Whether it is ancient or modern, the only unchanging truth is - whoever has the biggest fist will speak.Even if Zhao Zhen is righteous, even if the king of Xiangyang lives in a corner and his reputation is not right, as long as there are soldiers and food, everything is possible, and it may not be who has the last laugh.

Don't you see the Ming Dynasty, no matter how orthodox Emperor Jianwen was, he reigned tremblingly for four years, but was still usurped by his uncle.

Zhao Zhen was just an ordinary person in his previous life, who occasionally cared about current affairs news, and occasionally made complaints about the heads of state.Zhao Zhen really wanted to lead the Great Song Iron Cavalry to fight in all directions, and really wanted to revitalize the nation's commerce to make the country rich and the people strong, but his own skills were not enough, and his physical hardware and brain software couldn't keep up, so he could only take one step at a time.

Without political development, Zhao Zhen changed hands and began to infiltrate military power.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. With military power, can the political power be far behind~

Zhao Zhen's secret guards are not good at chewing words and reciting poems, but they are better than hardworking and loyal.Zhao Zhen secretly supported the young generals headed by Pang Tong, and promoted the renewal of the Song army, clearing away the moths who were greedy for comfort, and replacing them with vigorous youths.

The foreigners on the border are eager to move, and every time they cross the border and kill Song people, Zhao Zhen always remembers that the Song Dynasty was subjugated by the Mongols.

Zhao Zhen also found craftsmen to secretly develop new firearms, but the time was short, and he still stayed at ensuring the stability of the old firearms.

*************

When Zhao Zhen was thinking wildly, Cheng Ying walked in with two hidden guards, "Your Majesty, the hidden guards who investigated the Living Buddha have returned."

Zhao Zhen cheered up and said, "How's the investigation going?"

The hidden guard on the left said: "My subordinates secretly investigated the temple where the living Buddha is worshiped, and found that the monks' martial arts are not as strong as those in the Central Plains. In the investigation of the temple, I am afraid that I have already alerted the snake."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "You did a good job."

The hidden guard on the right said: "This subordinate pretends to be a rich girl and goes to offer incense." Although the dark guard didn't need to cover his face, he wore the same hairstyle and uniform, and the dark guard kept his head down. Zhao Zhen didn't realize it until she spoke out. This is a female guard.

The female dark guard continued to report, "According to the emperor's will, my subordinates made a wish in front of the living Buddha in the main hall to wish Mr. Zhan to return soon, and then paid 100 taels of sesame oil to enter the apse. Eighteen old monks in the apse recited scriptures, and dozens of men, women and children listened like I was so intoxicated, the fragrance of Buddha in the hall was very strong, my subordinates only sat for a while, and felt dizzy, dizzy and chest tight, so they had to leave quickly."

Zhao Zhen said nervously, "Is it poisoned? Doctor Xuan will show her."

Cheng Ying said in a low voice: "It has already been announced. The imperial doctor said that she has heard a lot of fairy music, and because of the special physique of the dark guard, she reacted so strongly."

"Immortal music?" Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Is it the kind that the emperor eats?"

Cheng Ying said: "The imperial doctor said that eighty-nine is not far from ten."

Zhao Zhen asked the female dark guard, "After you entered the hall, besides smelling the fragrance of Buddha, do you have any other feelings?"

The female dark guard thought for a while, "The apse is very smoky, and the scent of Buddha is too strong, and other smells are all covered up."

The male dark guard also answered, "Buddhist incense should be sold by the temple. When I investigated the backyard, I found monks carrying Buddhist incense."

Zhao Zhen frowned, "No wonder the temple fees are so high, and there is still a constant stream of people coming and going. It seems that many people are unconsciously addicted." Zhao Zhen looked at the female guard, "You only smelled it once, you shouldn't As for addiction, I will give you two days off and report any discomfort."

The female dark guard lowered her head and said briskly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two hidden guards withdrew, and Zhao Zhen greeted Fuquan, "Get ready to change clothes, I'm going to Kaifeng Mansion, if I can't, I just copied the temple."

Fuquan found casual clothes and reminded Zhao Zhen by the way, "I'm afraid it's not good to copy directly." It will have a bad impact on Zhao Zhen's usual friendly image.

Zhao Zhen nodded, "I understand, and I don't want to make people angry." But there are some things that you know you can't do.

Cheng Ying finds out Zhao Zhen's body armor, Zhao Zhen thinks it is too bulky, so he frantically refuses to put it on obediently.

Chengying half put his arms around Zhao Zhen and put on the soft armor, and Fuquan quickly helped Zhao Zhen change into casual clothes. The two moved smoothly and cooperated tacitly. Obviously, this was not the first time they had cooperated.Chengying said calmly: "The streets are not peaceful recently, the emperor should not be willful, the queen mother will be worried if she knows."

The implication - if you don't wear soft armor, I will complain to the Queen Mother.

Zhao Zhen flattened his mouth—I really miss the loyal dog Xiao Chengying who used to be blind and obedient, the cunning little wolf dog is not cute at all!

Chengying pulled Zhao Zhen around and found the small dagger that Zhan Zhaoniang had given her. Qingfeng made a short and sharp one, and inserted the dagger into Zhao Zhen's boots.Chengying rubbed his chin, took out the emergency kit prepared by Gongsun from the medical box, stuffed it into Zhao Zhen's sleeve pocket, and stuffed a few small bank notes.There are marks on the bank notes, so if Zhao Zhen gets lost, there will be no money to spend, and Zhao Zhen's location can be determined based on the bank notes.

Zhao Zhen, who was fully armed, couldn't laugh or cry, "As for what, I'm going to Kaifeng Mansion, not Longtan and Tiger's Den."

Chengying didn't follow up at all, "It's getting late, Your Majesty, let's go back early."

Zhao Zhen is angry.

——Come back, master Kuaiai, Chengying bullied me!

*************

Zhan Zhao is worrying right now.

Although Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had used lightness kung fu to its peak, the ghosts in Baigu Mountain had a large number of people after all, and quickly surrounded the two of them. "Young master misses you so much" "Young master, you have chased the young master's wife back" "Young master is becoming more and more like the master"...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got a headache from the quarrel, and he didn't want to be surrounded by people on the street, so he had to take the ghosts of Baigu Mountain on board.

The ghosts seldom had the opportunity to take a boat. They jumped down the mountain to study the structure of the boat. They chattered non-stop. Bai Yutang counted and counted the number of people. He was not a patient person. He frowned and said coldly: " Don't mess around, come and count!"

All the ghosts obediently ran over and stood in a row. After reporting the number, they found that eight ghosts were missing.

Bai Yutang said, "Where are the others?"

All the ghosts shook their heads neatly, "I don't know."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Where's your master?"

All the ghosts kept shaking their heads frequently, "I don't know."

Bai Yutang was amused, "What do you know?"

All the ghosts shook their heads subconsciously, and then some ghosts rubbed their stomachs and said "hungry", some rubbed their eyes and said "sleepy", and another ghost pointed to the other side and said "I want a girl!" She is a beautiful and charming young woman, and Bai Yutang looks at her with complicated eyes.

Zhan Zhao still hadn't forgotten his business, and asked the ghosts, "Did Uncle Bai bring you out?"

A certain ghost nodded, "The master took us to eat, drink and go on an outing~"

A certain ghost retorted, "Idiot, it's not an outing, it's eating, drinking, looking for flowers and asking willows!"

A certain ghost was puzzled, "The master said there is something serious."

A certain ghost was shocked, "Aside from looking for flowers and asking willows, the master has other serious business?!"

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, "Why did you get separated?"

A certain ghost scratched his head, "It didn't get separated, the master said he was going to smash the Buddha statue, let us play nearby for a while."

"Smash the Buddha statue?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and then heard a bang, and there was a loud sound of falling water from the river.Everyone ran out of the cabin to look outside, and saw that the tall Buddha statue was no longer visible, and the people on the bank were in a mess, and many people crowded around and ran towards the bank.

The two of them were wondering, when they heard someone laughing overhead, the laughter was deep and sweet, and a little...familiar?

The two looked up, and saw Bai Gu sitting on a high place holding a jade fan like a romantic son, young and handsome as before.

Bai Gu is still the same as before, but Bai Yutang has faded away from his youthful innocence. The father and son look alike. If the age difference between the father and son could be seen a few years ago, now they look like a pair of twin brothers, not obvious at all. violation.

Bai Gu looked at Bai Yutang with a half-smile, "Why don't you call me?"

Bai Yutang was silent for a moment and said, "Old rascal."

Zhan Zhao and the ghosts: "Pfft!"

Bai Gu didn't care about Bai Yutang's attitude, and lightly landed beside Zhan Zhao, and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, long time no see."

Zhan Zhao smiled brightly, "Hello, Eunuch."

Bai Gu: "..."

Before all the ghosts could react, they saw Bai Yutang with a cold face—"Pfft"

Bai Gu angrily questioned Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, "I heard that you two went to Zhan's house! Why don't you come to Baigu Mountain!"

Bai Yutang crossed his arms and said angrily, "Are you the one with the wind ear?"

Bai Gu saw Ming Hong in Bai Yutang's hand at a glance, frowned, hating iron for not being able to make a strong statement: "Stupid! Boss Zhan beat him to the punch!"

Bai Gu thought that if Bai Yutang accepted the Zhan family's heirloom sword first, wouldn't it be a betrothal gift?Bai Gu took out a piece of white jade from his bosom and threw it to Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao caught it stupidly, picked it up and saw the word "Zhao" engraved on it, he remembered that Bai Yutang had a piece of white jade that was exactly the same, with "Yutang" engraved on it, The two pieces of jade are both crystal clear and exquisite, and the carvings are also very beautiful.

Bai Gu emphasized to Zhan Zhao: "This is a betrothal gift, and Ming Hong will count it as your dowry."

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched—can you stop mentioning this?

Zhan Zhao tried to change the subject, "Uncle, did you smash the Living Buddha?"

Bai Gu was taken aback, "What Living Buddha?"

Bai Yutang pointed directly at the shore, "Didn't you smash it?"

Only then did Bai Gu realize, "What kind of Living Buddha, that's a harmful thing, remember to hit the other when you see each other!"
