[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

Hearing that Zhan Zhao will be back at noon, Zhao Zhen is in a high mood early in the morning~

As usual, the early dynasty was the battlefield of civil servants. Around the strange earthquake of the Living Buddha Temple, more than a dozen civil servants eloquently quoted scriptures, starting from Qin Huang and Han Wu to talk about the founding emperor. The Living Buddha Temple must be demolished for its filth and filth!

Long before the incident, Zhao Zhen revealed his attitude towards the living Buddha to the minister.With such a good excuse as [God's Scourge] coming to his door, no one would intentionally block Zhao Zhen. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it down. When it was pushed down, they stepped on it a few more times, and when they fell down, they smashed it hard, and completely knocked the [Living Buddha] into the dust.

After going to court, Zhao Zhen went to visit the Queen Mother who was eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, and happened to meet the reclusive Princess Huiguo.

Since Lin Lang's death, Princess Huiguo has been living in the palace to accompany the queen mother to eat fast and chant Buddha. She knows her identity is sensitive, so she hides in the Buddhist hall all day long, sometimes copying scriptures and worshiping Buddha, sometimes embroidering and reading books, and even raises a yard of flowers and plants. Competing for novelty and beauty, life is more comfortable than Zhao Zhen.

After living aggrieved for half her life, Princess Huiguo finally learned to be kinder to herself.

Zhao Zhen appreciates people with self-knowledge, and treats Princess Huiguo very preferentially. Guo Huai and Queen Liu's new and old hatreds have not implicated her.

The two met at the Queen Mother's place, and Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of it—Empress Liu Lin Lang colluded with the King of Xiangyang, did Princess Huiguo know about this?

Hearing that Empress Liu and King Xiangyang had colluded, Princess Huiguo's first reaction was not to believe it. "I heard from the maid next to my mother that my mother and Uncle Xiangyang couldn't get along. Once at a palace banquet, Uncle Xiangyang turned his face on the spot and walked away. He put down his words and never had any contact with his mother."

The Empress Dowager knows this matter better.

"At that time, the first emperor had not ascended the throne, and the empress was only a concubine. The king of Xiangyang was the youngest prince. He had a good relationship with the first emperor's brother and the uncle and sister-in-law of the empress Liu. At that time, the king of Xiangyang often came to the mansion for dinner. , who would have thought that they would break up because of a woman."

"Because of a woman?" Both Zhao Zhen and Princess Huiguo were aroused with curiosity.

The queen mother smiled and recalled, "It was the king of Xiangyang who fell in love with a married woman, and was fascinated by her for not marrying and not having an heir. A young and frivolous self-proclaimed romantic sentence, I still remember that Empress Liu said to the King of Xiangyang that you have the ability to keep it forever and never marry, and I will praise you when I meet you in Huangquan! If you can’t, break it as soon as possible. The past few years have been wasted Time, a few years later will only increase the jokes."

Speaking of the past, the queen mother always felt a little emotional, "Empress Liu had a fierce personality when she was young, and she spoke like a knife to cut people. The king of Xiangyang was pampered and treated well since he was a child. He had never heard loyal words, and left in a moment of anger, saying things that he would never communicate with each other. The emperor ascended the throne, and the king of Xiangyang left Bianjing for 20 years and did not return, so he really did not communicate with each other.”

Zhao Zhen sounded interesting, "Who is the king of Xiangyang looking for? If he can keep his wife for 20 years, it seems to be true love."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "The King of Xiangyang never mentioned the woman's name. Everyone guessed that she was a married woman named Liu. She was young, beautiful and talented, and she was a famous talented woman at that time. She hanged herself because she couldn't stand the gossip..."

Princess Huiguo's love life has been bumpy, with several ups and downs, and she no longer believes in the love between men and women.The corner of her mouth smiled coldly, "Uncle Xiangyang's non-marriage and heir may not be because of Liu's daughter, if you love someone deeply, how can you bear to hurt her to this point!"

Zhao Zhen wondered, could it be that Empress Liu knew that the King of Xiangyang had a crush on someone else, and used that person to force the King of Xiangyang to help him with all his money?

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

Zhao Zhen, who loves meat and dislikes, will naturally not obediently eat vegetarian food. After inquiring about the gossip, Zhao Zhen slipped away as if his butt was on fire before the vegetarian dishes were on the table. Ann, if you don’t visit once before dinner, you won’t be able to eat!”

So Zhao Zhen, who couldn't eat anymore, had lunch with Chengying, the patient, and even bullied the patient to pick fishbone for him.

Zhao Zhen found out with conscience after eating and drinking, and brandished chopsticks to pick up food for the patient. Cheng Ying was very surprised—the master knew that I love tofu?

Chengying glanced at Zhao Zhen with the corners of her eyes, and confirmed again after the meal—the master really knows that I love tofu!

Chengying lowered his head to pick up the rice, with little moving bubbles rolling in his heart.

Zhao Zhen already knew that Chengying liked to eat tofu, but why would Chengying's eyes light up every time he saw tofu?

As long as there is tofu on the table, Chengying’s eyes will always look at the tofu pretending to be indifferent. Give him a plate of tofu mixed with shallots, and he can eat three bowls of rice. The fool can also see that Chengying loves tofu. Shadow thought it was well hidden.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Zhan Zhao can only come back in the afternoon, and Zhao Zhen couldn't sit still after lunch, Cheng Ying said helplessly: "The emperor might as well go to Kaifeng Mansion and wait."

Zhao Zhen rubbed his nose, covered his face with the memorial and said nonchalantly, "What are you waiting for?"

Who else besides Zhan Zhao?Chengying was sour in her heart, staring at Zhao Zhen without saying a word.

Zhao Zhen looked at the sky, "The limelight has been getting tight recently, it's too dangerous to run out casually."

Chengying still looked at him and said nothing, the meaning was obvious—isn't it enough for me to protect you?

Zhao Zhenla shrugged her ears, "Aren't you injured? I lay in bed yesterday and reflected for a long time, and I haven't been running around recently."

Chengying frowned, "Didn't you fall asleep as soon as you touched the pillow?" How can you have a long time to reflect?

Zhao Zhenli said confidently: "It's the long moment when I lay down slowly without touching the pillow, can't it!"

Fuquan said happily: "The emperor is really sensible!"

Chengying looked at Fuquan—are you guilty?

The food has been good recently, and Fuquan has put on two rounds of weight, with a chubby belly and a smile like a Maitreya Buddha.

Cheng Ying was just bubbling with sourness, Bai Yutang almost drowned himself in the vat of vinegar.

Zhan Zhao met his father, uncle and Master Bao, and immediately heard about Zhao Zhen being bullied. Thinking of Zhao Zhen not daring to leave the palace, he could only squat obediently in the palace and wait, Zhan Zhao imagined the pity of the little apprentice who was desperate for help. There are several pictures, Yu Maoda is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!

Master Cat raised a Chinchilla!I've only been away for a few days, and any wild mice dare to come to the cat's nest to run wild!

Zhan Zhao thought that Bai Yutang was taking too long to wash up, so he went to the palace to visit Zhao Zhen with gifts in large and small packages.When Bai Wuye came out of the shower, he was refreshed, but found that the cat exhibition was gone... This feeling of jealousy can no longer be described as heartbroken.

Fifth Master can only comfort himself - as a mature and stable man, don't compete with brats for favor!

On the other side, the master and apprentice reunited happily. Zhan Zhao hugged Zhao Zhen and kneaded and kneaded, and finally turned the sick and weak apprentice into a white and tender little bun. For the last sum, there is always time to settle the ledger!

Zhao Zhen was also happy. In the past, Zhan Zhao was in Kaifeng, and his daily tasks were to eat, drink, go shopping, and occasionally investigate cases.It was only after Zhan Zhao left that he realized that having such a master in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion was a deterrent in itself.For example, modern powers are scrambling to develop new types of nuclear weapons, and holding military exercises when they have nothing to do is a form of force deterrence.

Zhan Zhao squeezed Zhao Zhen, "Master Bao said it was dangerous outside, so he won't let me take you out of the palace. You have to bear with it for another two days. When Uncle Bai and all the ghosts arrive, I will go to Linjiang Tower to book a few tables for a welcoming banquet. Li Jiayao's place It's safe, I can take you to Cengfan."

In addition to Baigu, there are 24 oil bottle ghosts, and the table cannot be arranged. It is estimated that Kaifeng Mansion cannot accommodate so many people.

Zhao Zhen was taken aback, "Uncle Bai?"

It was only then that Zhan Zhao remembered that Zhao Zhen didn't know anything about Bai Gu, so Zhan Zhao omitted the embarrassing incident of getting married back then, and told Zhao Zhen roughly about Bai Yutang's life experience.In fact, Zhan Zhao himself was also confused, he only knew that Bai Gu and Bai Yutang were father and son, and he didn't know anything else.

Zhao Zhen was surprised, "Father and son look like twins?" This is unscientific!

Zhan Zhao thought and thought, and concluded: "Xiaobai is more obedient, uncle is a bit weird, he looks exactly the same, but his personality is completely different."

The two were gossiping, when they heard Fuquan murmur behind him: "So it's Baigu, not Baigu..."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, and Zhao Zhen was a little excited, "You know him! Could it be that my ancestors and Brother Bai's ancestors have a bloody feud? Such a bloody plot is decisively negative!" →_→Hey, such a high-spirited person Eyes, is it really a man to give a bad review?

Zhan Zhao Chengying Fuquan raised his forehead at the same time: He said something strange again, although he didn't understand what the [bad review] was about, but it felt great.

Zhao Zhen made up a thousand love-hate ethical dramas in his brain, and Fu Quan quickly explained, "That's not the case!"

Zhan Zhao waited for Fuquan to continue, but Fuquan suddenly fell silent.

Naturally, what Fu Quan wanted to say didn't need to be hidden from Zhao Zhen, since it wasn't hidden from Zhao Zhen, it must be hidden from Zhan Zhao.

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Say what you have to say, don't hide it."

Fuquan's expression was a bit tangled, Zhan Zhao poked Zhao Zhen, "Forget it, don't make things difficult for him."

Zhan Zhao is so magnanimous, it's hard for Zhao Zhen to say anything.

***********

Bai Yutang wrote a letter to Zakong Island to report his safety, and sent the letter to the shop of Zakong Island in the capital as usual, and asked the staff to help send it back.On the way back, Bai Yutang used to buy food to feed the cat, and when he was buying bean paste buns, he suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind...

Bai Yutang had a good memory, even if he just passed by, he still recognized that person as Meng Ke whom he met in Changzhou Mansion.

Meng Ke was once evaluated by Zhao Zhen as "with malicious intentions". Bai Yutang was vigilant and quietly followed Meng Ke who was in a hurry.

Meng Ke turned around and walked into a dilapidated alley. Bai Yutang remembered that Zhan Zhao said that this is the gathering place of Kaifeng underworld forces, and the inside is very dangerous. The government and the Baidao must never- Yes-no-can-step-foot.

Zhan Zhao said "absolutely not" with a serious expression on his face, Bai Yutang struggled in place for a while, and finally chose to turn around and leave.

Not long after Bai Yutang left, Meng Ke came out from the alley, "It's a waste of time, Bai Yutang didn't come in!"

In the quiet alley just now, more than [-] men dressed as civilians ran out. These men held various weapons in their hands. In addition to the commonly used swords, there were also ropes, copper nets, hidden weapons, and tripping ropes. Wait, it looks like they want to capture Bai Yutang alive.

One of them sneered and laughed at Meng Ke, "Don't you say it's safe, what should we do now?"

Meng Ke smiled brightly, "I made a mistake and underestimated Bai Yutang's caution. Next time, let's bring the bookworm Gongsun Ce over."
