"Is there any news of General Zhao?"

Chen Zhong asked in surprise, he looked at Li Sihai, motioned for the entourage to hand over the general's report, and looked at it in front of Li Sihai. The Kwantung Imperial Court took risks to seize Zhao Xingde's military power, and it did not leak. After that, Zhao Xingde was placed under house arrest, and the prevention was even more impenetrable, although Zhao Xingde had generals holding troops outside and his disciples walking outside, but he did not get the permission of the imperial court, and he could not even pass on a piece of paper. The Prime Minister's Mansion has sent an envoy to Ezhou to ask for someone. The Song Dynasty replied politely, but the content was very insistent. As long as the Xia State did not 'hand' back to Xiangyang and Luoyang, and Zhao Xingde's troops would still occupy Henan, it would be impossible for Zhao Xingde to return to the Xia State. Xia Guo was trapped in a situation where he couldn't take care of things, and now it was impossible to turn his face and start a war with the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xingde became a hostage, and he was held very tightly, and even the powerful Military Intelligence Department could not ventilate the news.

Li Sihai shook his head. He had heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued Zhao Xingde, and even after ascending the throne, he might rely on him as his right-hand man, which undoubtedly showed that the rumors were true. He casually put the chilled plum in his mouth. As the most noble founder of the country, Li Sihai has a bright future, but there is no possibility of worshipping the prime minister, and he will not be jealous of Zhao Xingde. He watched the beauties on the stage dance through the crystal amber glass, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In the territory of the Song Kingdom, he kept going, but after arriving in Luoyang, Li Sihai settled down. First, because it is freezing now, even if he rushes to the Green Ridge, the mountain is still closed by heavy snow and cannot be passed, and the second is that he doesn't want the Protector Mansion to feel that he is too eager. Anyway, the fleet of Haixi Port has not yet been formed. There are not many people in the world who are good at seeking the country and clumsy at seeking their lives, and Li Sihai is not that stupid person. With Zhao Xingde's talent and stubbornness, being humiliated in the Song State may not be a good thing for him. Li Sihai is even more curious, with Yue Fei's strictness in governing the army and Cao Liangshi's scheming, what news can Zhao Xingde convey?

Li Sihai was thinking about it, Lin Jingwan had finished dancing, glared at this side as if nothing, turned around and left. The guests in the lobby of the Grand View Building cheered loudly, and even the upstairs elegant seats stepped on the floor slabs "bang" loudly, as if the building was about to collapse. The Song people have the best 'color' music, the first dancer in Guanzhong came to Luoyang to dance, everyone rushed to see it, and the venue was full. The servants in the audience held carved 'flowers' on wooden plates, and silver coins were piled up high. Li Sihai pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, and painfully 'touched' a Fuhai golden ticket from his arms, put it on a plate and let the servants take it out. Although Daguanlou is not as good as those rural wild shops, in order not to save the face of the guest officer and cause disputes, the amount of money will not be reported. But Li Sihai still has to make this look, otherwise his life will not be easy.

At this time, Chen Zhong had already finished reading the military report, looked at this scene, his face seemed to be smiling, and sighed: "When are you two going to make trouble?" Bowang Hou Shizi's wife, the future life of Daxia 'woman', actually sang and danced in Daguanlou to entertain people, if those scholars in Kanto knew, wouldn't they laugh off their big teeth? Li Sihai was a little embarrassed and said: "Isn't this officially married yet?" "Bo Wanghou was a blood alliance with others back then, and he made an appointment with his in-laws," Chen Zhong shook his head, half joking, half serious: "If there are many things today, if you add 'chaos', I won't allow it here." ”

"Alas-" Li Sihai sighed, "It's really a wrongful thing in a previous life." ”

He never thought that the number one dancer he had worked so hard to hook up with was actually the fiancée he had always wanted to get rid of. "The customs of the people are too strange, and the 'female' people are not allowed to marry again. Women's people, some days are beautiful 'fascinated' people, other times they are burdensome, why should I be controlled by this hot woman. Li Sihai shook his head, as if he regretted the fate he couldn't get rid of. Seeing that Chen Chong's face was slightly gloomy, Li Sihai changed his words again: "Of course, as the prince of Bowang Hou, it is my bounden duty to be a friend of the country, and I also respect Your Majesty's husband and wife, and my love is enough to set an example for all the people." He picked up his wine glass with a little humility, and asked again, "Does General Zhao have any news?" His eyes fell on the table, the volume of military newspapers that Chen Zhong had just finished reading.

"This is," Chen Zhong pushed the case file to him, and said with a 'show' smile on his face, "His unveiling post, do you want to see it?" Say it early. ”

"Really?" A hint of strange 'color' appeared in Li Sihai's eyes, put down the wine glass, picked up the post, and looked at it at a glance.

After Zhao Xingde was placed under house arrest, although he was seen from time to time, under the surveillance of the Song Dynasty, it was extremely difficult for him to transmit news to the outside world, or rather, Zhao Xingde himself did not try to convey any news. And now, such a large exposé post suddenly appeared, the content of which has nothing to do with the situation in Henan, accusing the Song Dynasty Laoshizi magistrate of 'forced' Liang to become a prostitute. The Military Intelligence Department really couldn't understand what Cao Liangshi and Yue Fei thought, could it be that it was implying that his subordinates were safe and sound. Is Zhao Xingde really so idle, from holding an army of 100,000 to being in prison, and still having the leisure to meddle in things?

"Kanto people," Li Sihai shook his head, "this guy is a Kanto fool." ”

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled sarcastically: "This is a good show, at this time, they actually care more about Lao Shizi ''forcing 'good to be a prostitute'?" However, Prime Minister, and the Military Intelligence Department should be happy. Chen nodded heavily, although Li Sihai's words and deeds are sometimes absurd, but he has a vision. The Song people suddenly had such an infighting at this time, which made him greatly relieved. If the Kwantung used the foundation laid by Zhao Xingde in Henan to invade the Liao State in the north, and after the Roma Turks in the west were finished, they would have to face a powerful Song State again, and the opportunity to unify the world would be gone.

"In Kanto's view, this is an obligatory matter," Chen Zhong smiled, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"What thoughts?" Li Sihai was stunned, he knew Chen Zhong very well, and his attitude was that he already had ideas.

"This is a good show, so that you can join in the fun, what if I also make an article, criticize the court, and shout for the people?"

"High, really high," Li Sihai smiled strangely, "Your Highness is really a promising king." But...... Need a gunner? ”

The Protectorate used troops against the Roma Turks on a large scale, and did not want to get involved in the war between Song and Liao too early. The large army was stationed in Luoyang, but it could only play a deterrent role, and without the order of the five governments, Chen Chong could not directly send troops to intervene in the Liao and Song battlefields. In the point of "being good at specialization", the prince should be more careful than ordinary generals. However, he wrote an article criticizing the Kwantung government, but the Protectorate had nothing to say. The stone tablet of "the speaker is not guilty" at the entrance of Zheng Xiangtang's 'door' has been erected for more than 100 years, and it treats both the common people and the princes and nobles equally. He is used to galloping in northern Xinjiang, and he has long been bored in Luoyang. Li Sihai has quite a good understanding of Chen Chong's mood.

"Bold!" Chen Chong scolded with a smile, "When Prince Ben was studying hard and reading the books of sages, you were still hooking up with the 'female' officials in the palace every day. ”

The two laughed together. Li Sihai told Chen Zhong some customs in Liaodong and Kandong, and the two parted happily.

............

On the top of Huanghu Mountain, the red wall encloses a place, and the pavilions and pavilions can be faintly seen, and the dense forest cultivates bamboo, which is the newly built palace in Ezhou.

After Zhao Xingde recovered Henan, Wu Zilong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had been urging him to build palaces and official offices to facilitate the imperial court to move back to Bianliang, but Zhao Xingde said that the situation in Henan was unstable, and a large number of people needed to be resettled, so he was unable to rebuild the capital. After the change of handsome in Henan, the imperial court officially declared Ezhou as the line, and when the time is right in the future, it will consider moving back to Bianliang. As a result, Deng Su, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the construction of the Ezhou Palace. Although it is known as the Imperial Palace, it is only the original transfer of the Ya 'Gate' Cao Yuan and the East Garden. Because of the invasion of the northern captives, the number of Ding Zhuang in various places decreased sharply, and the ministers of the court and the central government felt that the great use of eunuchs was a state of immorality in the imperial court, so the state and county scholars and politicians discussed and abolished the evil customs of eunuchs for the royal family in one fell swoop, and replaced them with "female" history and civil and military "attendant" guards.

Although the scale of the palace can not be compared with the Bianliang palace that has been expanded in the past dynasties, it is better to be small and "fine", the scenery is "colorful" and pleasant, the palace has a glance pavilion, a cross-hoop pavilion, a good cliff pavilion, a four-view pavilion, a Guangyong pavilion, a "spring" and "yin" pavilion, a condensing incense pavilion, etc., all have excellent scenery. It was Zhao Qi who was very happy and praised Deng Su for "having a heart". And the original mountain pavilion in the garden more than ten places renovated, did not 'spend' much money, the household also felt that there was no money spent on the treasury, but the gentry and the people lacked a few places to play and enjoy.

In the shadow of plum 'flowers', a palace 'girl' hurriedly passed through the forest, went straight to a small courtyard against the palace wall, and knelt inside. This is the only near-branch clan in Ezhou except Zhao Qi, the 'daughter' of the first emperor, and the residence of Zhao Huan, the sixteenth eldest princess. Zhao Huan and Jinshang were born to the same mother, brother and sister love, after the palace was built, Zhao Qi asked her to choose a palace to live in. Zhao Huan chose this small courtyard with easy access to live, and selected a few intelligent and loyal palace 'women'.

"Your Highness, is there any news from Mr. Zhao?"

"Really?" Zhao Huan sat up and asked happily. She subconsciously straightened her sideburns, and glanced at the bronze mirror again, the figure in the mirror was as beautiful as a 'flower', with surprise between her eyebrows, which made people feel pity. Since Zhao Xingde was seized power and placed under house arrest by the Prime Minister's government, there has been little news. Rumors spread outside, and some people said that the Prime Minister was going to escort Zhao Xingde south and 'hand' it over to Yousi for interrogation. Some people also say that Xia Guo filmed the envoy to ask the court for someone, and the court did not want to offend Xia Guo. The most terrifying thing is that there are rumors that Zhao Xingde has offended the important ministers of the court, and now he is in prison, I am afraid that he will be beheaded first. But the real situation was not even known to Emperor Zhao Qi and Deng Su. Since Cao Di and Deng Su joined hands to 'force' Wu Zilong to take the throne, Chen Dong's precautions against the imperial party have also become stricter.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhao's article shouldn't be fake, right?"

Gong 'female' peony 'medicine' hesitated. His Royal Highness's thoughts, others don't know, and she can guess a thing or two. Although Zhou He, Wang Chongyi and others in the Jinwei Mansion are also confidants of His Royal Highness, men are always not suitable. Therefore, one of the most important things in Peony's 'medicine' every day is to do his best, unknowingly find out the news of Zhao Xingde from the mouths of various 'color' people, and then come back and report it to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in detail.
