Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the end of April, it is a good season for the grass to fly and the sun is warm, and everyone who can spare some free time is not about three or five friends to get together to drink tea and wine, or to go out on horseback, even if it is an ordinary day, the countryside garden, teahouse and wine shop, everywhere are people shaking, when the courtiers are on holiday, it is even more lively.

Officials who are rarely seen on weekdays, they may appear in many places on this day, people who are officials come out to hang out, and naturally there will be many people who want to bump into chance, trying to meet them by chance or something, and there are also people who are wronged but have no way to come out to try their luck, and so on, in short, on this day, all kinds of farce things may happen.

Among the many tea shops and restaurants in the capital, the most famous is Fengyun Building, Fengyun Building is located in the north district of the Imperial City, near the Kyushu Wind and Rain Pavilion, you can enter this place to drink tea and consume the non-rich and expensive, the first floor is the ordinary consumption hall, the second and third floors are independent private rooms, the sound insulation effect of each private room is excellent, and the conversation inside is not worried about the people outside will hear.

In a private room on the third floor to the northeast, Prince Zhao You, Wang Xianzhi, Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, and Zhang Xun, the head of the household department, are sitting together drinking tea, and the three of them are drinking the new crown - Tieguanyin at this year's tea ceremony and sword meeting. (Zhang Xun was originally a household servant, and he went to Youzhou with Zhao You to revitalize the disaster, and in the third year after his return, he was appointed as the head of the household department.) ）

"Your Highness looks in a good mood today, but what's the joy?" Zhang Xun sat opposite Zhao You, he took a sip of the tea in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Zhao You with a very happy expression, and joked with a smile.

"It's not a big deal...... Zhao You smiled slightly when he heard this, and was about to answer, but at this time, there were two rhythmic knocks on the door outside, and then the door was opened, and a middle-aged eunuch walked in.

"Wufu, what's the matter with you running in so quickly?" When Zhao You saw this eunuch, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Your Highness......" Wufu came to Zhao You's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What?" After Zhao You heard his words, he was startled and stood up from his seat, they sat on a low seat, and the three of them were sitting cross-legged on the soft cushion, Zhao You got up too quickly, and his body drove the tea table, shaking the teacups on the table, and the tea was spilled all over the table.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Zhang Xun and Wang Xian were taken aback when they saw this, and they all stood up.

"It's nothing, it's lonely, I'll go home first." Zhao You's face was gloomy like water, he glanced at Zhang Xun and Wang Xian, and then turned around and walked out of the private room with Wang Fu, leaving Zhang Xun and Wang Xian facing each other on the same ground.

"Aunt Xiao, Zhao Zhen, if I Zhao You don't kill you, I will be the prince in vain!" After Zhao You returned to the Prince's Mansion, he grabbed a royal vase in the hall and smashed it to the ground, roaring in his heart with a hideous face.

Xiao Nan can be said to be the most hated person since Zhao You lived to be in his twenties, he will never forget Xiao Nan's ruthless arrow in Taihang Mountain, and he can't forget the ugliness he was born because of that arrow.

Zhao You is the son of the emperor, the mother family is prominent, and his third grandfather Jiang Ge is even more powerful, in addition to the emperor, he deserves to be the first person in the world, even if the third ancestor does not treat him very well, but in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao You is still his grandson, since he has a memory, there has never been a person like Xiao Nan, let him be so ugly, let him be so embarrassed, and no one has ever been like Xiao Nan, so he doesn't take his life seriously.

Every time he thinks of all this, Zhao You can't wait to break Xiao Nan's body to pieces, kill bones and scatter ashes, but he can't, although this Xiao Nan makes him hate it to the bone, but he is also his savior, although he is the prince, but he is far from having the ability to do whatever he wants, he still has the emperor above, and there are Jiang Ge Lao and many important ministers in the court, these people are watching themselves, Xiao Nan saved himself in Youzhou, not only saved a prince, but also exempted the Great Song Dynasty from the embarrassment of passivity, which is a great credit.

Although she herself doesn't want this credit, Marshal Yang, her father, and Jiang Ge Lao and other important ministers in the court know all this, if he dares to do anything to Xiao Nan at this time, he is afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince, a person who has just been named the crown prince, and is eager to attack himself and the person who has made great contributions to the country, and the entire court is afraid that no one is willing to watch such a prince ascend to the throne! Therefore, no matter how much hatred he has in his heart, he can't show half of it on his face.

If you can't deal with Xiao Nan for the time being, that's it, Zhao You is also the prince who has been carefully taught for many years, and after being annoyed for a while, he figured it out, he can't deal with Xiao Nan now, and when he ascends the throne, he won't be able to avenge this revenge? Just when he gradually adjusted his mentality and was ready to play the role of the prince, Zhao Zhen came out, and he came out as his younger brother Zhao You.

Since Zhao Zhen returned to the palace and was revealed by Zhenzong, Zhao You was stunned, especially when he saw clearly who his younger brother who suddenly appeared, his whole person was in a state of extreme anger and fear, even if Zhao Zhen was still young and had no power behind him, even if he was still the crown prince, but he did not have a sense of security.

He can't forget the terrible sister of Zhao Zhen in the people, he is always worried that Jiang Ge Lao instigated the emperor to abolish him, and he is always worried that Xiao Nan sneaked into the prince's mansion to kill him in order to protect Zhao Zhen's position, if it weren't for a powerful mother standing behind him unconditionally to give advice and escort him, he was afraid that he would have collapsed.

Even so, in the past two years, he has frequently made mistakes, causing many courtiers to criticize him, until half a year ago, when General Tuowen, who accidentally knew that the Liao army, had been inquiring about the woman who forced him off the cliff that day in recent years, he immediately quietly revealed all the information he had collected about Xiao Nan to General Tuowen, if this Xiao Nan died in the hands of the Liao people, no one would be able to suspect him.

After the news was revealed, he was always waiting for the news of Xiao Nan's death, but after a few months passed, he didn't wait for the good news he wanted to hear, but heard the news of General Tuowen's death...... (To be continued.) )
