Chapter 167: Palace Forbidden

It's him. / "Cao Kai suddenly, handsome, handsome and extraordinary, the color of appreciation became more and more intense.

"The second uncle also knows about him... Young Master Chu? Cao Yaxin said with a smile.

"That's natural, as early as when I was in Xuzhou, I had heard that there was an extraordinary young man in Tokyo, and the poems he wrote were recited for a while, and many famous Confucian scholars were amazed." Cao Kai said with a smile, hearing this, Cao Yaxin's eyebrows smiled, her beautiful eyes were full of color, and the waves rippled.

"Although Chu is qualified, but his talent is not shallow, he has not long become the head of the boy test, he has not gone through the examination, he directly participated in the examination, and he unexpectedly won the tribute, and he wants to come to the status of a jinshi just around the corner." Gao Tao smiled, and looked at Cao Yaxin in some surprise, with a woman's unique intuition, she vaguely noticed something abnormal.

"Well, it's a talent, and you must be befriended with it." Cao Kai nodded and said to several sons and nephews that the reason why the Cao family has been able to prosper for several generations is not only because of their loyalty to the emperor for generations, but also because of their marriage with the royal family, their power is deep-rooted, and they usually attach great importance to scholars.

The people of the Cao family often know in their hearts that the emperor relied on the Cao family, used it as a general, and guarded the Quartet, but he would never allow them to take charge of the affairs of the imperial court and implement the national policy of "advocating literature and suppressing martial arts".

"Second uncle, rest assured, Jing Chun is easy-going, after we met a few times, we have already met and become friends, and they are classmates with Caiqing, and the friendship between the two is not shallow." Cao Ping smiled.

"Before the prince of Chu was raised, Caiqing met him, and later often traveled together, and the stronger the friendship, the stronger the friendship, the more intimate friends they became." Gao Tao said with a smile: "Young Master Chu has a kind temperament and is enthusiastic about helping others, and my husband and I are very grateful to him." ”

Zhao Zongshi nodded with a smile, Cao Kai was a little surprised and didn't understand what Chu Zhen could do to help Zhao Zongshi, but he didn't inquire, just chuckled and said, "Caiqing is a bit lucky to have such a good friend." ”

"What luck did Yue say?" Gao Shilin's voice sounded, and he walked over with some confusion, his mind was clear, but his handsome face was already red, and he exuded a faint smell of wine, obviously just getting rid of everyone's toast.

"Say you're not drunk. It's also luck. Cao Ping smiled.

"It's thanks to the pure word. They were all busy listening, and no one was paying attention. He came back quietly. Gao Shilin laughed. A little proud.

"That being the case. Hurry up and ask Gongzi Chu to come over and thank you. Gao said. There was a hint of unconsciously reprimanding in his tone. This has become accustomed to nature. It's hard to change.

"I'll go." Gao Shilin said with a grin. turned around and walked towards Chu Zhen, and after a while, the two of them walked over together.

"Boy Chu Qian. I've seen Cao Dujian and the prince.... Chu Zhen smiled and saluted. Say hello to everyone in turn. Suddenly, I noticed a young girl in the banquet. I can't help but look up and look at the feeling of déjà vu. I saw that her head was combed like silver, and her ears were exposed. With a sapphire pendant hanging from his ear, he wears a very beautifully pleated skirt. A pair of beautiful eyes are clear and transparent, and a pool of crystal spring water. Crystal clear skin is better than snow. Cut Xiudai with a thrush. A little soft water to the lips. The body is slender and beautiful. But the chest is round and bulging. The crescent moon white satin coat rises and falls.

A beautiful girl, beautiful eyes, and a light wave of anticipation. There seems to be a trace of lingering affection. Chu Zhen's eyes froze for a moment. Then came to his senses. Hurriedly smiled and saluted. Eyes drooping slightly. Don't dare to look directly.

"Jing Chun, I don't know you anymore." Sensing some clues, Gao Shilin quietly laughed: "Some time ago, I was traveling with others to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but now I forget it, and I am not afraid that others will be sad." ”

"It's Cao..." With a flash of inspiration, Chu Zhen exclaimed, immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly showed a bright smile, and said to Cao Lu: "Brother Cao, I haven't seen you for a few days, everything is fine." ”

"Brother Jing Chun is good." Cao lured the salute, but felt a little confused, as if something was wrong.

After the ceremony, Chu Zhi sat down, and through Cao Ping and Cao Lu, his nose seemed to smell a faint fragrance of vanilla, carefully distinguishing the source of the aroma, and the target was quietly fixed on Cao Yaxin, and he couldn't help but evoke the wisps of thought that had been precipitated in the depths of his mind.

"It's really hard to accompany Shilin to welcome his relatives today.

Cao Kai raised his glass and said with a smile: "A glass of thin wine, talk about the heart, and invite Prince Chu to drink together." ”

"Cao Dujian is polite, you are an elder, this cup should be drunk first by me." Chu Zhen smiled, his hands moved slightly, and the cup was already empty.

Cao Kai's toast, Zhao Zongshi raised his glass again, Chu Zhi naturally did not dare to slack off, and drank with him, followed by Gao Shilin, Cao Ping, Cao Lu, for a while, the banquet was full of # staggered thanks, you come and go, the atmosphere is suddenly very harmonious.

After Chu Zhen sat down, Cao Yaxin was silent

The eyes often seem to glance in the direction of Chu Zhi's sitting, and a slight smile blooms when the ruddy cherry lips bloom.

The wedding banquet should be carried out in this peaceful and celebratory atmosphere, unconsciously, a round of waning moon floated in the air, soft and clear light sprinkled on the world, the wedding banquet is gradually coming to an end, there have been a few guests who have chosen to leave first, and Song Qi is one of them, not only because the banquet is not satisfactory, but more importantly, he has to enter the palace to return to the emperor.

Forbidden, the emperor's bedroom, the building is luxurious and beautiful, and the guards are strict, although it is considered the dead of night, but as the son of heaven, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen did not go to the harem to sleep with three thousand beauties in his arms, and still read and fold in the imperial study, also as a monarch, he does not have the majestic domineering spirit of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, nor is he as wise and martial as the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, and he is not a promising hero, and even among the monarchs of the past dynasties, he is not a well-known Ming Jun, and his personality is also a little indecisive, and his ears are particularly soft. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is greedy and lustful.

Reigned for so long, there are no great achievements, and even because of his weakness, it is in disguise that the Western Xia Li Yuanhao's dynasty hegemony, despite all kinds of external and internal problems, but to be fair, Renzong Dynasty is still the rule of the Song Dynasty anyway, except for the military, there is a prosperous atmosphere in politics, economy and culture, especially the world's evaluation of Zhao Zhen is very high, and the famous generals who are famous in later generations are even more loyal to him, even if they are officials and ministers who are degraded by him, there is still no complaint about him.

This is not that Song Renzong has any personality charm, imperial spirit, tiger body, and submission from all directions, nor is it that he is proficient in the art of the emperor, and his scheming methods are as deep as the sea, but it is related to his personal temperament of frugality and forgiveness, Zhao Zhen has many shortcomings, but his biggest advantage is that he is tolerant and benevolent, and can tolerate all kinds of fierce criticism, even if he criticizes his private life, he never retaliates against him. Enjoy unprecedented freedom of speech.

It is this kind of benevolence and forgiveness to the atmosphere of loyalty and benevolence, the cultivation and cultivation of talents, played a very important role, speaking of the talents in the Renzong Dynasty, in the Song Dynasty or in history is also second to none, can be described as a number of famous ministers, whether it is political, military, cultural, scientific and technological fields have people in the history of the famous reputation, as the later Su Shi said: "The world of Renzong, called the toast, the three descendants, rely on it."

Zhao Zhen is such an emperor, who said that he is such an ordinary and ordinary emperor, and he may not be competent to do anything else, but when it comes to being an emperor, I am afraid that he is the most suitable emperor in history to be an emperor, and he has a generous and tolerant heart, if it is in ordinary people, it is nothing, but the emperor has such a character, it is very commendable.

At this time, in the imperial book, the lights were bright, Zhao Zhen, who was wearing a purple dragon robe, sat on the wide and gorgeous dragon lean, holding a red pen and gently sketching on the fold, and the bookcase on the right side was also placed on the ruler high and had not yet been approved. ”

“。” Zhao Zhen didn't look up, he gently spit out a word in his mouth, and took advantage of this time to quickly write his opinion on the fold.

"Song has seen Your Majesty." Walking lightly into the imperial study, Song Qi bowed his hand, but did not kneel to see, in the Song Dynasty, unless it was a major event such as worshipping the ancestors of heaven and earth, even in the last dynasty, when he saw the emperor, he could not kneel, and he could bow his hand, after all, in the early Song Dynasty, officials could sit down in the court.

Legend is a certain minister, at a certain time, the emperor came to sit as steady as Mount Tai did not move, the emperor was naturally a little uncomfortable, simply let people remove the chairs of the officials, without this privilege of the officials on the surface naturally will not say anything, but the heart must hate the minister, maybe after this incident, the emperor found himself sitting, everyone else is standing, there is a sense of superiority, simply form this custom, maybe a little embarrassed in the heart, and do not force the officials to kneel down to see, until the alien invasion, The people who were standing seemed to be dead.

"Song Qing, it's really surprising that I got out of the banquet so quickly." Gently put down the pen, Zhao Zhen's still handsome face flashed a gentle smile: "I thought that according to Song Qing's temperament, I would not be able to return to me until at least tomorrow, but I don't know if someone is neglecting you, or the singing singer and dancer are unsightly." ”

"Your Majesty can't know." Song Qi complained and said: "Let the minister be in a group of martial artists, where is he still in the mood to enjoy himself, and I can't wait for the wedding banquet to end quickly." When these words came out, there must be many people who hate Song Qi to death, but with his temperament, even if he knew, not only did he not care, but I was afraid that when the interest came, he would go to that person's house to deliberately make fun of him.
