Preface (2) The establishment of the Crossing Origin Entrustment Office
In December of the eighth year of Song Qingli, Zhao Zhen, the son of the Zhao family, deeply felt that natural and man-made disasters had occurred frequently in recent years, so he changed the next year to "Emperor You", and granted amnesty to the world, hoping that the world would be peaceful and peaceful.
I never thought that just after the New Year, there would be a solar eclipse, the government and the opposition would be shaken, and the people would be terrified; It is also rumored that the floods in Hebei Province have caused hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced, which made him depressed, so he stopped celebrating the Yuan Lantern Festival and stopped having fun to show his condolences.
On this day, Zhao Zhen and Chen Zhizhong, Wen Yanbo, Song Zhen, Pang Ji, Gao Rune, Ye Qingchen, Mei Zhi discussed the disaster relief in Hebei in the west hall of the vertical arch hall.
Zhao Zhen was very surprised, so he asked the eunuch Wang Shou to present the silk picture and take a closer look.
I saw that the silk map was painted with six continents, of which the largest continent was written on the eastern corner of the continent, and the word "Song" was written on it, which was the territory of his Song Kingdom.
But he is a big Song, so he occupies this small piece?
Zhao Zhen was suspicious, so he asked Chen Zhizhong, Pang Ji, and Song Zhen to also come forward to take a look, and the latter few people were amazed, but they couldn't determine the accuracy of this picture.
"Congratulations to the official family, the stranger offers pictures, this auspicious omen is also." Chen Zhizhong congratulated him.
An auspicious omen?
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this.
He thought of a auspicious omen, so he decided to change the yuan this year in December last year, but who would have thought that just after the New Year, there would be another omen of the solar eclipse and the floods in Hebei, which broke his luck one after another.
But despite this, he was still curious about the stranger who claimed to have known 500 years before and 500 years after, so he ordered the king to invite this person to the palace.
Wang Shougui took the order to go, and after about a stick of incense, he went and returned, and reported to Zhao Zhen with a strange face: "Official, that stranger has been invited to the palace and is waiting outside the palace. ”
In view of the fact that the disaster relief matter was also discussed similarly, Zhao Zhen smiled and said that Chen Zhizhong, Pang Ji, and Song Zhen were humane: "Is it good for Zhuqing and me to meet that stranger together?" ”
"But obey the king's orders." The ministers replied, and they were also a little curious about the so-called alien.
So Zhao Zhen ordered Wang Shougui to invite the stranger to the palace, but he didn't expect that after Wang Shougui went out, he actually led a boy who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old back to the palace.
This...... This is the stranger who is the right person to contribute the picture?
The monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and then secretly looked at the young man.
During this period, the young man also looked at Zhao Zhen with curious eyes, looking at the most luxuriously dressed son of the Zhao family in the entire hall, and after a while, he bowed his hand and said in a slightly strange accent: "Zhao Yang, the Hanmin of the mountains and fields, meet Your Majesty." ”
Your Majesty?
Zhao Zhen, who had always been called an official, was a little surprised when he heard it, but he didn't want to correct anything, and asked kindly: "Xiao ...... Is this "Seven Continents and Five Oceans" presented by Xiao Langjun? Don't know where to get it? ”
"Exactly." The young man named Zhao Yang gave his hand again: "It was painted by my own hands." ”
Hand-painted?
Everyone in the hall was a little surprised when they heard this, and Pang Ji couldn't help but question: "I see that Xiaolangjun is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and this age is not enough to travel to my Great Song Dynasty......
Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone in the hall could understand what he wanted to say: This picture can't be painted by your kid, right?
Faced with Pang Ji's questioning, Zhao Yang turned his head to look at the old man, and said "heh" lightly, without refuting.
Pang Ji's face was a little unbearable, and he felt that this kid's "heh" faintly had the disdain of "too lazy to explain to you".
He participated in political affairs in a dignified manner, but was ridiculed by a child?
Of course, he didn't have a seizure, after all, this is in front of the official family, and there is also an official Zeng Gongliang who is responsible for recording the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven in the palace.
Moreover, he also faintly felt that the young man was extraordinary, at least his children and grandchildren could not behave so calmly in front of the officials and important ministers of the court like this young man at this age.
And the other people in the hall also saw this, and they were very surprised.
In the end, Zhao Zhen took over the conversation, covered up the embarrassment for the old courtier, and asked the doubts in his heart by the way: "Xiao Langjun claims to have known 500 years before and 500 years later, and he wants to say something, but he ...... Is my big Song really only so much? ”
Zhao Yang arched his hand and replied: "In the whole world, there are about fifty-three Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty only accounts for one ......."
Fifty-three Great Song?
Seeing Zhao Yang say the specific difference in size, Zhao Zhen and the ministers were even more surprised: Could it be that this young man really has such talent?
After a short silence, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask: "I also know that in addition to the Khitan, Western Xia, and Goryeo, there are still many Tibetan states such as Champa, Zhenla, and Three Buddhas...... I don't know where Xiao Langjun found out? Is it born to know, or is it taught by a wise teacher? ”
Zhao Yang thought for a while, nodded and said, "I do have a teacher......
"Oh?" Zhao Zhen suddenly became interested: "Can you introduce me to me?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yang showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
"What's the inconvenience?" Zhao Zhen said tentatively.
Zhao Yang nodded, but did not explain the reason, which inevitably caused everyone in the hall to misunderstand.
"Such a great sage, I don't have the opportunity to see it...... That's it. ”
Zhao Zhen, who was misunderstood, sighed regretfully, and then looked at Zhao Yang and said softly: "Xiao Langjun presents this strange picture today, I should respond, I don't know what reward Xiao Langjun wants?" ”
Zhao Yang perked up and arched his hand: "This picture is just drawn by the hand of the letter, it is not worth mentioning, in the name of offering the picture, just to talk to His Majesty privately." ”
"Privately?"
Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned.
Although he also guessed that the young man's dedication must have a picture, he never expected that the other party's purpose was to ask for a "private conversation" with him.
He was curious: "I don't know what Xiao Langjun wants to talk to me?" ”
Zhao Yang shook his head and said, "There are some things that can only be known to Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Zhen was a little curious when he heard this, and raised his hand to the people in the hall: "These are all my Great Song Dynasty's humerus ministers, and they can't be audited?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Yang's face was as usual, and he bowed slightly.
This kid......
The ministers in the palace were more or less unswerving.
But now that the matter has been spoken, the ministers have resigned with amusement.
After a while, there were only the attendant eunuch Wang Shougui and several attendant eunuchs in the palace, as well as Zeng Gongliang, who was in charge of repairing the living notes.
At this time, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Yang curiously, "What does Xiao Langjun have to say to me?" ”
"I can't say yet."
Zhao Yang shook his head, and after glancing at Wang Shougui and Zeng Gongliang in the palace, he arched his hand and said: "In order to prevent the partition wall from having ears and secrets from leaking, please remove the guards outside the palace." and the two men in the temple shall also be withdrawn together. ”
Zhao Zhen hesitated a little when he heard it, and after hesitation, he heard Wang Shougui whisper beside him: "The official family can't, this son has a strange origin, his intentions are unknown, if he has bad intentions, he ...... it."
Zhao Yang heard it clearly, snorted lightly, and then looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Rong Zai said something sincerely, if it weren't for His Majesty being my family, I wouldn't have come here today at all...... I also came at a risk, but I didn't expect His Majesty's courage to be inferior to mine......"
"Shut up!"
Wang Shougui was shocked, and said in a lost voice: "Crazy boy, you dare to be so rude to the official family!" ”
"Alright."
Zhao Zhen raised his hand to stop Wang Shougui, looked at Zhao Yang with a puzzled face, and said after thinking for a while: "You wait and retreat first......
"Official!"
Wang Shougui's face was shocked, and he was about to persuade again, but he saw Zhao Zhen with a displeased face and said, "Am I not as young as a teenager?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Shougui didn't dare to persuade again, and after struggling for a while, he hesitated to withdraw from the main hall, and ordered the guards outside the hall to evacuate temporarily.
During this period, Zeng Gongliang saw Zhao Yang's eyes on him, stepped forward and said: "The old man is the editor of the Zhizhi System and the History Museum, and Zeng Gongliang, a bachelor of Hanlin, was appointed to repair the living notes of the official family, so as to revise the history of the country in the future." So, is it permissible for the old man to observe? ”
He felt that Zhao Yang didn't know the position of "Cultivating Living Notes", and was about to explain one or two, but saw Zhao Yang raise his hand to stop him, and sneered: "You don't have to explain, I know what is going on with Cultivating Living Notes, and I record the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven...... However, since Song Taizong, is there any credibility in this living note? I don't have to think about it. ”
Song Taizong?
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and frowned slightly.
And Zeng Gongliang didn't seem to notice this, he was so angry by Zhao Yang's words that he blew his beard and glared, but he didn't know how to refute, who made Song Taizong really leave a stain on this matter.
Just when he couldn't help but have a seizure, Zhao Yang seemed to suddenly think of something, raised his hand and touched his smooth chin, and thought, "Zeng Gongliang...... Well, I know you, you seem to ...... It should be able to worship the prime minister. ”
"Thank you Xiao Langjun for your good words!" Zeng Gongliang gritted his teeth.
This old minister, who has just turned fifty, has no appreciation, after all, with his current qualifications, as long as there are no accidents, it is inevitable that he will be promoted to the phase in the future, so why admit it?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yang shook his head and said to himself: "Ji Yan can't talk about it...... What I really want to say is that I hope Lao Zeng will not make mistakes for yourself, ruining a good future and harming a good life. ”
"The future? Life? Zeng Gongliang was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at Zhao Yang.
"Yes!" Zhao Yang nodded, and said in a firm tone: "If you are determined to listen in the palace today, even if Your Majesty cherishes the virtuous talents afterwards, you will inevitably kill the killer." …… ruined his future, gave his life, and caused His Majesty to bear the infamy of killing virtuous ministers, why bother? ”
“……”
Zeng Gongliang was shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Zhao Zhen, but in fact, Zhao Zhen couldn't figure out the situation.
After a while, Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and said, "Zeng Qing, you ...... Stand down. ”
Zeng Gongliang glanced at Zhao Yang, who was fearless, and his face trembled for a while, but in the end he chose to bow down and receive the order: "...... Yes, sir. ”
After a few breaths, Zeng Gongliang also withdrew from the hall, at this time, within a hundred steps of the vertical arch hall, except for Zhao Zhen, there was only Zhao Yang who walked to the door of the hall and looked out.
"Since I have ordered everyone to retreat, who would dare to disobey the order?"
Zhao Zhen, who saw Zhao Yang's actions, snorted lightly, and then said with a little unswerving, and said inexplicably: "Maybe now?" I am very puzzled, what does Xiao Langjun rely on, dare to say that I will kill the important ministers of the court. ”
At this time, Zhao Yang had also confirmed that there was really no one outside the hall, so he returned to the hall and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, let me make a new introduction." ”
As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Zhao Zhen again, and lowered his voice: "My name is Zhao Yang, and I am from ...... a thousand years later."
“!!”
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually widened, and his face was full of horror and shock.
