"The curtain man is born like a swallow, the candle base powder makeup is bright, and the drum is pressed at the beginning of the six. Infinite spring and beauty are all on the waist, dancing group waist. The painting hall is deep and has been seen by relatives. It is like a resentment, and Xiaoli's heart song is not over. A handful of willow silk is weak, leaning on the east wind. ”

In the palace, several maiko are dancing a dance called the Liuyu Dance, the dance posture is graceful, light and graceful, and there are several courtesans playing beautiful music on the side, the sound of silk and bamboo, like a fairyland on earth.

"Come, Li Hanren, take another drink, I haven't been drinking like this together for a long time, at this moment, I suddenly remembered the time when Duanwangfu was in the palace." Zhao Ji picked up a glass of wine and smiled at Li Sanjian.

"Your Majesty, please... Please... Li Sanjian said extremely crampedly.

At this time, during the funeral of the first emperor Zhao Xu, it was okay to drink a little wine, but there were still palace prostitutes singing and dancing? This is already considered a violation ...

If this incident is later taken into account by the Imperial History Officer, Li Sanjian will not be able to eat and walk around.

At that time, Emperor Zhao Ji will definitely be fine, and only Li Sanjian will be unlucky.

But at this time, Li Sanjian had the heart to persuade him, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

Li Sanjian still has some understanding of the boring life in the palace.

The emperor is the ninety-five, dominating the world, it seems that he can do whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, in fact, there are still a lot of restrictions on him, even some daily things on weekdays, such as walking, sitting, eating, sleeping, etc., there are many restrictions, which must be regulated, otherwise there will be people who "risk death to admonish"...

Therefore, not all the emperors of all dynasties were happy, and most of them were not happy.

For an emperor like Zhao Ji, he is a young man, and he is versatile, he knows everything about poetry and words, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and juju and ball, how can such a person be willing to live a boring day in the harem?

Always have some fun.

At this time, Zhao Ji was trapped in the boring days of the palace, and wanted to find someone to accompany him to drink, chat, listen to songs, watch dances or something, could it be that Li Sanjian immediately "risked death to admonish" in order to win the name of his direct minister?

Li Sanjian is not such a pedantic person.

"Qing family!" Zhao Ji saw that Li Sanjian's face was cloudy, so he said, "Why are you depressed? ”

"Oh, the official family, Weichen suddenly remembered some cases in the government, therefore... When Li Sanjian heard this, he hurriedly prevaricated with the matter in the Kaifeng Mansion.

"Hehe, the Qing family is really diligent." Hearing this, Zhao Ji looked at Li Sanjian and asked, "In the case of Zhou Yanren, does the Qing family have a grudge against me?" ”

Of course, there are complaints, Li Sanjian looked at Zhao Ji in amazement when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, Zhou Fanggeng's case was not protected by Zhao Ji, or if Zhao Ji fully supported Li Sanjian, he would definitely be severely punished.

However, although Li Sanjian was full of complaints, how could he say it clearly at this time? Not only can he not say it explicitly, but he can't even show the slightest hint of his expression.

If you have complaints about the emperor, then you will be able to be an official.

"Official!" Li Sanjian's thoughts in his heart quickly turned around and replied: "Don't scare Weichen, Weichen has followed His Majesty since Shaosheng four years, and it has been four years now. ”

Li Sanjian's words are true, the former Duan Wang Zhao Ji took him in when Li Sanjian was in the most difficult time, not only solved Li Sanjian's worries, but also gave Li Sanjian a lot of help in terms of scriptures and articles, it can be said that Li Sanjian is half a master, it can be said that without Zhao Ji, there would be no Li Sanjian today.

Li Sanjian is not an ungrateful person, and Li Sanjian has always kept this kindness in mind.

When Li Sanjian said that he was emotional, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh when he saw it: "It's hard for you to remember, hey, although I have many brothers, but in fact, I have been very lonely since I was a child, and my father and mother have also passed away one after another, which is similar to you and Zeng, so you and I are half teachers and half friends." ”

Zhao Ji has always regarded himself as Li Sanjian's master...

"Your Majesty!" Li Sanjian wiped away his tears and said: "The official family asked about the case of Zhou Officials, what did Wei Chen think, Wei Chen was just a little sad in his heart at this time... ”

"Sad?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Exactly!" Li Sanjian replied: "What is sad about Weichen is that Weichen is young, and he can't do anything more, and the evil officials have harmed my Great Song Dynasty and the society like this, but Weichen can't share his worries for His Majesty, and Weichen feels extremely powerless at this time." ”

Li Sanjian's words carried a hint of faint exhortation, but Li Sanjian first played the emotional card, and then made a look of self-harm and self-pity, which Zhao Ji expected to accept.

This method of exhortation is also from the "Thirteen Articles of the Art of War of Guiguzi", Li Sanjian learned and used it in Zhao Ji's body...

Li Sanjian hopes that Zhao Ji will not be merciful in dealing with evil officials like Zhou Fanggeng in the future, and must make an example of him, otherwise it will seriously affect the fairness of Song Lu.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji sighed again when he heard this, and said: "I know that you are a loyal minister and a direct minister for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and for me, but you must know that sometimes I can't be the master of things in the palace." ”

Zhao Ji and Li Sanjian are half-teachers and half-friends, and the two drank a lot of wine at this time, Zhao Ji's words are heartfelt words, and he confided in Li Sanjian.

The Queen Mother Xiang's body at this time is getting worse and worse, although she is still "listening to the government", but she is rarely in charge of governance, and it is almost Zhao Ji who is in charge, but despite this, Zhao Ji still has to scruple about the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's people, Zhao Ji does not dare to move them easily.

Li Sanjian nodded, and didn't say anything anymore, the things in the palace, if you can, you won't participate, and if you can mix less, you won't be involved.

It is said that the things in the palace are not something that ordinary people can mix, and basically those who are involved in it will not end well, and Li Sanjian knows this.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things." Zhao Ji then asked Li Sanjian: "I remember that you wrote an article called "Bian Ce Ask" when you were taking the Ministry of Rites exam, in which you have quite an opinion on the border affairs of Xirong, I am very curious, you are obviously from Danzhou, Qiongtai, why do you know so much about the affairs of Xirong?" ”

"Official!" Li Sanjian replied when he heard this: "I can't talk about understanding, but when Weichen was in Duanwangfu, he looked at the history books and understood a truth, that is, the difference between the disease of the henchman and the disease of ringworm. Fu Qi Zhi to Wu Ye; The disease of scabies is also. At this time, Xirong was Wu Zhiqi, and the northern captives were Qin Zhihan. The disease of ringworm and scabies is not to be feared, and the serious problem of the heart is the most terrible. ”

Li Sanjian wanted to say that in fact, the great trouble of the Great Song Dynasty was not the Western Xia or the Khitan, but the northernmost female straight, that is, the Jurchen, and at the same time Li Sanjian wanted to say that ignoring internal affairs was the trouble of the henchmen.

But at this time, Li Sanjian didn't dare to say it, and he didn't know how to say it.

Li Sanjian paused for a moment and then said: "Therefore, Weichen still has this point of view, if you can not use troops on Xirong, don't use soldiers, try to be friendly with them, and even try to tolerate them, at this time, you should concentrate all your strength to deal with the northernmost Beiyu, Your Majesty, soldiers, major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, you must not ignore it!" ”

"Hmph, Xirong usurped the emperor, betrayed me and stood on my own, and constantly attacked the borders, harassed the soldiers and civilians of our dynasty, and conquered the city, so how can I make friends with him?" Before Zhao Ji could speak, Tong Guan on the side snorted coldly and said, "Do you have to swallow your breath?" So where is my big Song face? The previous emperors of our dynasty all took the recovery of Hehuang, Heshuo and other places as their own responsibility, so how can they be recovered without soldiers? Waiting for the thieves to give it up? Or can you just rely on a three-inch tongue to get it back? ”

Generally speaking, when the emperor was discussing things with his ministers, how could the chamberlains dare to interject indiscriminately? If you don't get it right, you'll be dragged out and beaten to death.

But Zhao Ji is a more easy-going person, and treats his subordinates more leniently, and at the same time, Zhao Ji's parents died when he was a child, and he grew up in the palace, surrounded by a group of chamberlains and palace maids all day long, so Zhao Ji trusts them from the bottom of his bones, and can even be said to be trusting and dependent.

Zhao Ji didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard this, and looked at Li Sanjian with a smile in his wine cup, waiting for his answer.

"But what's the point?" Li Sanjian also drank a lot of wine, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, so he retorted: "The important thing is that you can't take Xirong at all, since the second year of Emperor Baoyuan of Chaorenzong, the war between my Heavenly Dynasty and Xirong has lasted intermittently for sixty years, in these sixty years, what has our dynasty gained in addition to working the people and losing money, and consuming national strength to make the treasury empty?" Have you ever gotten an inch of land? Even if you get it, you will lose it quickly, and you can't hold it at all, so why use troops with Western Xia? ”

Li Sanjian then said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, Weichen still will not change his opinion, that is, if he does not have the strength to defeat him in one fell swoop, and if he does not have the ability to destroy his country, he must not easily move troops with Western Xia." ”

The peace and war with the Western Xia, since the beginning of the Renzong Dynasty, until now, the emperor and the ministers of the court do not know how many times they have argued, until now, it is still the public saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, entangled and arguing.

Li Sanjian also did not dare to guarantee that his views were correct.

At the same time, Li Sanjian didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but Tong Guan's words made Li Sanjian have to refute it.

"How do you know that my Celestial Empire is currently unable to take all of Xirong?" Tong Guan heard this: "If my Heavenly Empire is united and fights with Xirong with all my might, I will be able to destroy his country and punish his clan, but it is because you literati are verbose and look forward to the future, so that the fighter plane is delayed, and the war in Xirong has been delayed for a long time, boy, do you know what it is to delay the fighter?" I don't think you know anything about the military. ”

"I don't understand!" Li San rushed up angrily and said loudly: "But I also know that before you win, you must think about defeat first, so you can not be defeated in a hundred battles, and you must not easily use swords." ”

After Li Sanjian finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup, took a sip, drank too quickly, and coughed violently.

Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
