Chapter 109 Ichi-5

"That's a good point, but, Yuan Zhi has you thought about it, no matter how clear the truth is on paper, there are always many unsatisfactory things when it is put into practice. If there are no major drawbacks, people are willing to tinker, even if the house collapses, they are more willing to use familiar methods to build the house, so Sima Wenzhenggong also said, 'Governing the world is like a living room, and if it is not a big evil, it will not be repaired.' 'Hu Lu invaded the south, the world was turbulent, the Son of Heaven was taken captive, and the house collapsed. The situation is not stable, many people are looking forward to setting things right, Wu Zilong wants to restate the etiquette law, Deng Su wants to start the discussion of the great etiquette law, next, how should we build this house in the Song Dynasty? ”

Zhu Sen's words were a little bitter, holding a volume of manuscripts of "The Kingdom of Gentlemen" in his left hand and a glass of rice wine in his right hand. He and Zhao Xingde sat opposite each other, with a square table between the two, a wine jug, two cups, and a plate of miscellaneous fruits. is so simple and cold, which is quite incommensurate with the identity of the two. There were also bamboo bookcases around the square table, and the hundreds of books in Zhao Xingde's luggage had not yet had time to be put into the study. The two talked and read books at the same time, sometimes talking to themselves, sometimes asking and answering themselves, sometimes asking questions, and the other party answered when they remembered, and did not answer if they couldn't remember, just like when they were classmates in Taixue, they quickly spent a whole night.

The soldiers on duty in the Wuchang Marquis Mansion have been replaced. The officer on duty looked curiously into the flower hall.

The identity of this person living in the mansion is too special, between the dignitaries of the court and the prisoners of the ranks. After the recovery of Henan, the imperial court in order to reward the military generals for their merits, starting with Zhao Xingde's title of Marquis of Wuchang, Yue Fei was named Marquis of Henan, Han Shizhong was named Marquis of Donghai, Cao Di was named King of Jiyang County, Yang Yanqing was promoted to King of Taiyuan County, and he could ask for Jin Jue Longxi County King, Liu Yanqing resigned from the table, and the court named Liu Guangshi as the Marquis of Qingyuan, and Huaixi Xuanfu envoy. Although several generals have been named Marquis of Jinjue, there are many discussions outside that Zhao Xingde was deprived of military power, and Marquis Wuchang is just compensation. Although Wang Gui was not a marquis, he was in charge of the southeast camp, and he was in Ezhou, and he had replaced Zhao Xingde's original position among the generals. However, only a real person in the army can realize that Zhao Xingde's position in the army has only been shaken slightly, and almost all the regulations issued by the Ministry of War such as training, camping, marching, and fighting are all written and revised by him himself. Not to mention the three towns of Henan, even if Wang Gui came in person and saw Zhao Xingde, he could only respectfully call him "Zhao Shuai" and carry out the salute of backwards, otherwise he would be regarded as a high-flying and domineering official. Although Wang Gui took over the southeast camp, there were still many people in the Ezhou army who regarded Zhao Xingde as the old master, so all the soldiers on duty in the Wuchang Marquis Mansion were specially selected by the Ministry of War, so as not to have any accidents.

"Great Rites, Great Rites," Zhao Xingde smiled with embarrassment, "Back then, in Bianliang, Zhang Wenhuan and Deng Shouyi argued, Wenhuan said, 'The law is on the king', Shouyi insisted that 'the king is on the law', what I didn't expect was that it was Deng Shouyi who initiated the Great Rites Discussion, so that the princes and princes were all under the etiquette law." Although Wen Huan is gone, the way he believes in has finally become popular in the world. Sacrifice oneself for righteousness, people die and survive, believe! He spilled a glass of wine on the floor, put another glass into his throat, and closed his eyes slightly, remembering his deceased friend.

"Deng Shouyi, I'm afraid he has been lost, although the Ministry of Rites initiated a big ceremony, he was forced to be in a hurry by Wu Zilong. The outcome of this discussion of the Great Rite Law is unpredictable. Zhu Sen frowned, he knocked on Zhao Xingde's manuscript with one hand, and sighed, "Yuan Zhi, if you weren't in trouble, you could have come out to reconcile Ding Nai, but it's a pity that you ......."

Zhu Sen stopped, with regret on his face, he wanted to persuade Zhao Xingde to participate in the Great Rite Discussion, but he didn't have any position to speak. As long as Zhao Xingde is Xia Chen, the Song people will never approve of it. The reminiscences of the two seem to be unscrupulous, but they do not involve the dispute between the Song and Xia countries at all. Etiquette is the foundation of governing the country and securing the country, and a grand meeting of the Great Rites may determine the luck of the Great Song Dynasty for decades or hundreds of years, however, Zhao Xingde can only be a bystander. inadvertently touched on this topic, and the two of them invisibly, as if there was an extra chasm between the two. Zhao Xingde felt a little bitter in his heart, smiled awkwardly, and was about to find a topic to divert from this section. Zhou He, an officer of the staff department, hurriedly came in from outside and clenched his fists at the door to report.

"Your Majesty invites Marquis Zhao to the palace."

Zhu Sen and Zhao Xingde looked at each other in surprise, the two of them have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they are not hairy boys who are grateful as soon as they are called. Ezhou practiced the system of hypocrisy and reality, and Chen Dong acted very strongly. Even if you really want to win over Zhao Xingde, you shouldn't pick this sensitive time. Under Deng Su's guidance, Zhao Qi had just improved the situation of some monarchs. According to Zhu Sen's system, among the gentry and celebrities in various places, there are also many who advocate returning government to His Majesty. The Great Rites Discussion has not really begun, and at this time, summoning Zhao Xingde, isn't Your Majesty afraid of the jealousy of the prime minister?

Although Zhu Sen is a national relative, he is Zhao Ke's uncle, not Zhao Qi's uncle, and he did not speak with a calm face.

Zhou He did not shy away from taboos, and kept standing at the door waiting for Zhao Xingde, Zhao Xingde had no choice but to accuse Zhu Sen first, ask him to stay in the mansion for a while, stand up, and follow Zhou He to the newly built palace. Zhou He was very familiar with the guards guarding the palace gate, and a young officer checked the waist card, and when he heard him say that he brought the Marquis of Wuchang into the palace, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xingde curiously. Zhao Xingde smiled and bowed his head, but the young officer was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore. Walking through several courtyards and meeting the palace guards, Zhou He talked and laughed. Zhao Xingde knew about the rebuilding of the Jinguan Mansion by the Imperial City Division, and he couldn't help but secretly talk when he saw this. He guessed that Zhou He's identity was probably not only an officer of the Staffing Division, but also a high status in the Jinwei Mansion. The Ministry of War and the Jinwei Mansion arranged such a person to accompany them, which can be regarded as looking down on themselves.

Coming to the door of a warm pavilion, Zhou He arched his hand and said, "Please wait here for the Marquis of Wuchang." Then he turned and departed, and closed the door of the temple.

Zhao Xingde nodded, the emperor has every opportunity, even if he summons his courtiers into the palace, it is impossible to meet him directly, he has to wait. This is not the first time this has happened to him. "Pretending to be a gesture," Zhao Xingde sneered: "Could it be that Your Majesty is still as busy as before?" I thought it was boring, and when I sat down, I looked up and looked around.

This warm pavilion is located in the imperial garden, the building is quite exquisite, carved beams and paintings, the windows on all sides are decorated with large pieces of colored glass, the colorful sunlight is projected in, the relatively simple rosewood tables and chairs are illuminated colorfully, the white porcelain plate contains the fruit of Bianliang flavor, hibiscus cake, white ice cream, smile, delphinium, face cocoon, etc., the big Beijing date, the small Beijing date should be the Tokyo Left Behind Division tribute. These are all looking at the plate, Zhao Xingde is even more unlikely to be waiting for the holy car to feast, looking around and looking at the palace maid on duty in the corner of the warm pavilion, he nodded slightly, the palace maid seems to be very shy, she was already blushing, and at this time, she was even more shuangjing, and she was busy lowering her head. This time, Zhao Xingde became embarrassed, the woman's attitude was like this, as if he was deliberately teased, he had to make a good appearance, and turned his eyes away as if nothing happened, and never looked at her again. However, when Zhao Xingde collected his mind and sat upright, he felt that a thing fell on him, and he didn't feel a little secretly funny.

"This bold and shy palace maid is interesting."

Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, Zhao Huan almost exclaimed, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, her face was flushed, there was no one else in this warm pavilion, only two, and they were not stupid, who would sit and laugh without anything? "It's over, he's laughing at me, laughing at me for peeking at him." She buried her head desperately, the tip of her nose was about to touch her chest, and she didn't dare to look at Zhao Xingde again. The winter sun shines through the colorful glass, the warm pavilion is quiet, only the breathing sound of two people is heard, and an embarrassing atmosphere spreads, Zhao Huan's pretty face is so red that it seems to be dripping water, and his heart is full of regret. What would he think of himself, he really shouldn't have promised the royal brother. Zhao Qi considered his sister and strengthened his heart to get married, so he specially arranged this meeting, but Zhao Huan couldn't remember that he had promised the imperial brother because he was in a trance. When Fang's heart was beating wildly, he suddenly heard the snoring sound of "huh-" and "whew-".

Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment and raised his head. Although the snoring was slight, it was very obvious in the silent warm pavilion, and I saw Zhao Xingde sitting with his hands on his knees. Zhao Huan's heart suddenly, she hurriedly lowered her head again, and after a while, the snoring was as usual, and there was no other movement, so she raised her head again. This time, she was much bolder, she quietly moved the lotus step, went around to Zhao Xingde, and found that although he was sitting dangerously, his eyes were closed, his breathing was even, and he was really asleep with a slight snoring sound. Zhao Huan exhaled lightly, and his chest fell to the ground like a big stone. This Zhao Xingde dozed off when he was waiting for his father for the first time, and his temperament has not changed at all from before. Somehow, thinking of this past story, my heart is cocoa, and there is a hint of sweetness.

Since Zhao Xingde and Zhou Gong had gone, Zhao Huan's heart also settled down, held his breath, and boldly observed him carefully. Compared with the past, his appearance has changed a lot, and he has no longer the appearance of the white-faced scholar of the past, but the outline of the past is still there, with a short beard on his lips, his hair tied in a bun very casually, and his robe has traces of dust, as if he was sitting under a tree in the middle of a horse march. He is much burlier, stronger than many of the guards in the forbidden area, presumably in the past ten years, he has experienced a lot of wind and rain, but unfortunately he can't see his eyes, and she doesn't dare to look at it, is it that kind of gentle eyes......
