Chengdu Mansion, Shu Palace, Daye Hall plane genius.

Emperor Lang Zhengchun, the emperor of Shu with a high forehead and a strong form, was carefully flipping through an ancient book, his face was colorful. The ancient book is wrapped in a piece of high-quality Shu brocade, with four golden seal characters on it, "Red Pine Seed Commandment". If Song Zheng was here, he would definitely be surprised why this Taoist classic, which was originally hidden in the palace of Dajin Zhongdu, appeared here.

The Great Cause Hall is Lang Zhengchun's imperial study, and the word "Great Cause" is not a great achievement of the world, but is named after Cao Pi's famous sentence: "Cover the article, the great cause of the country, and the immortal event." ”

When the Shu Kingdom was passed on to Lang Zhengchun's generation, it had long since lost the martial arts spirit of the great general Lang Yucheng, but the literary style spread. Lang Zhengchun has been studying since childhood, understands the scriptures and reason, and also believes in Taoism. Since his accession to the throne, he has spent most of his energy on Taoist classics, and even went to Qingcheng Mountain to live for half a month every year in order to participate in the Tao.

After reading for nearly an hour, Lang Zheng closed the book unsatisfied. After the little eunuch on the side poured a cup of tea again, he made another joke, "Holy Zhenren, Lord Jiang has been waiting outside the hall for half an hour, but you want to announce him in?" ”

"Oh, let him in." Lang Zhengchun took a sip of tea, looking quite comfortable. The saint is the title of the palace eunuch and the palace concubine for him, both for the saint and for the real person, every time he hears this title, Lang Zhengchun feels a little fluttering.

A moment later, Jiang Kui appeared at the door. He took two steps closer and knelt down, "Minister Jiang Kui knocks on His Majesty Emperor Dawei." ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, flat!" Lang Zhengchun didn't raise his head, blew the tea leaves floating in the teacup, took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted for a moment, Fang said slowly, "Yan'er sent a letter from Kuizhou, saying that he wanted to escort Qi envoy Song Zheng to Chengdu Mansion. ”

Jiang Kui frowned, "But the Holy Lord summoned His Highness back?" ”

"Oh, I know what you're worried about, His Royal Highness went out of the town of Kuizhou Dongguan, and he has the responsibility of guarding the land, and he can't return unless he is ordered by the emperor. However, a month later was the fifth anniversary of his mother's death, and I had promised him to come back to pay respects. Lang Zheng Chunna explained heartily.

Since Jiang Kui became the general in charge of the palace guards, he has been extremely old-fashioned and strict in his work, and sometimes even Lang Zhengchun has no way. However, it is precisely because of this that Lang Zhengchun felt at ease and handed over the responsibility of guarding the palace to him, and also took charge of collecting information about Daqi.

"Yes!" Jiang Kui's words are like gold, and his black and fat face is as serious as ever.

"I summoned you this time to ask you, what kind of person is this envoy? Why did you come to Kuizhou for one day, so that Wu'er could be honored as Mr. and personally accompany him to Chengdu Mansion? ”

Jiang Kui raised his eyebrows, and immediately replied, "Song Zheng, seventeen years old, a native of Mizhou, Daqi Shandong." Father Song Jue is the great Confucian of the world, Song Zheng himself Yunwen Yunwu, the year before last won the martial champion, awarded the Great Qi Forbidden Army Zhenzi Battalion Commander, Miyagi Teaching, last year and won the championship. A few months ago, he was appointed as the right supervisor of the Imperial City Division, and at the same time he was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Rites. Last month, he went to the right office, and he was appointed as a full-time minister of etiquette, and he was ordered to come to Shu. ”

"About this son, I have heard it before, thinking that there are many false rumors in the world, but now I look at it, this son has some ability." Lang Zhengchun sighed, "As soon as this son arrives in Fengjie, he will talk to Xue Qimeng and force Xue Qimeng; Immediately fought with his bare hands to fight the famous Dongguan double-gun general Long Zhanfeng, in this world, is there such a character who is both civil and military? ”

Jiang Kui was silent for a moment, and quickly replied, "What Your Majesty said, although it is good, but the rumors about this son are indeed false. Although Song Zheng has a great reputation, he is unbearable. ”

"Oh? How unbearable? ”

"The minister has been in Jiangning for many years, and he knows a lot about this son. Song Zhengfu was the champion of martial arts, so he accepted bribes on a large scale. Then he took the flattering juniper and hooked up with the daughter of the juniper, which made Jiangning full of storms. It's just that this son is good at flattery, and I don't know what kind of means he used to coax the little emperor to call him 'Master Song', and even his father became the little emperor's teacher, so that there is a joke of 'father and son and two emperors' to cheat infinitely through the magic gate. It's just that this son doesn't have the consciousness of an 'emperor', he is greedy and lustful, and his heart is ruthless. As soon as he was appointed as the right supervisor, he killed several people, so that Jiang Ningcheng talked to him about the tiger. ”

"Being able to mix well under the noses of Huang Yuandu and Xiao Juni, it can be regarded as very capable. However, this son's character is so unbearable, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become a big thing. The women of Daqi are in power, and it is not surprising that such a strange thing appears. Lang Zhengchun laughed twice, full of sarcasm.

"Your Majesty, although Song Zheng has been criticized a lot, his wisdom is outstanding. At present, Daqi is tackling key problems, and this son is coming to my Shu Kingdom, I am afraid that he has bad intentions, and we still need to be cautious. ”

"Da Qi's thoughts, I naturally understand. Doesn't you just want us to sit back and watch them march into Guanzhong and then occupy Hanzhong, their ambition is still in our Shu Kingdom. Lang Zhengchun said disapprerovitically.

"My Emperor Shengming." Jiang Kui bowed down and said, "With Weichen's understanding of his people, Song Zheng came to Shu alone with four intentions. ”

"There are four? You talk about it. Lang Zhengchun became interested.

"First, naturally he wants to persuade me that Dashu is friendly with him and sit back and watch them occupy Chang'an, and second, Song Zheng is for refuge. He committed public anger in Jiangning, so he borrowed the opportunity to hide. This also explains why the so-called envoy of Great Qi only sent him, and he was only a small Ministry of Rites. Therefore, we can imagine the third, that is, Daqi did not have much hope for this mission, it was purely to deal with us, and it was best to convince us, and it didn't matter if he couldn't. As for the fourth, that is, Song Zheng had already planned to escape from Chengdu Mansion. He is just a person, and he is proficient in martial arts, if someone secretly helps, it will not be difficult to escape from Chengdu Mansion. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Lang Zhengchun said indifferently, "But don't forget, he is just a person, no matter how powerful he is, what kind of storm can he set off?" What's more, there are many lies in diplomatic matters, and we use air for air, and we have nothing to do with it. ”

"Your Majesty is wise. It's just that...... It's just that Song Zheng is scheming, and he must be guarded against. Please send heavy troops to guard this son strictly, and imprison him in disguise, and ask His Majesty to instruct His Royal Highness not to get too close to him. ”

"Aiqing is too worried. He is young and alone, can he still stir up my Dashu people to turn over their horses? Lang Zhengchun waved his hand.

"But ......"

"Do what you have to do," Lang Zhengchun interrupted, "If we are like a great enemy, we will weaken our prestige, so that Song Zheng really thinks that he has become a character." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Kui lowered his head and responded loudly, but the corners of his mouth appeared with a smile that seemed to be nothing.

Waving his hand to send Jiang Kui away, Lang Zhengchun smiled softly, "It seems that Jiang Kui is very jealous of this Song Zheng, and he is nervous, as for it?" What can a seventeen-year-old child do, even if he has some ability? Just let him go. ”

Shaking his head amusedly, Lang Zhengchun turned his gaze to the book "Red Songzi Commandment" again.

From Fengjie to Chengdu, Song Zheng and Lang Boyan and others first took a boat to Ba County (Chongqing), then turned north to Hezhou along Fushui, then traveled west to Chishui, and finally landed in Chongyan Town. Passing through Puzhou and Jianzhou, we arrived at Chengdu Mansion.

This road is winding, the journey is thousands of miles, the scenery is good, but it is also a long journey, it is reasonable to say that it is a hard journey. However, for Song Zheng, he didn't feel bitter at all. The reason is that Lang Boyan takes care of him too well.

On the boat, there are countless delicacies and endless songs and dances of ladies and gentlemen. When these are tired of eating and seeing, they will climb the mountain and visit the road and fish near the lake. Along the way, Hechuan Shuanglong Lake, Lezhi Baoguo Temple, Jianzhou White Pagoda, leaving Song Zheng's footprints everywhere.

Lang Boyan, the second prince of the dignified Shu Kingdom, became a free tour guide, including food, accommodation and play. Everywhere they went, they were warmly received by local officials and literati and gentry, and it was a great pleasure.

Song Zheng made friends with the people of Shu Kingdom, played and feasted, and sang poems endlessly. In the land of abundance, life is rich, the people are comfortable, and the officials are even more content with pleasure, but it seems to be very lively.

In addition to playing, Song Zheng also had an in-depth understanding of the atmosphere of Shu at this time. Due to the long-term residence in a happy place, almost isolated from Daqi, Shu officials were generally extravagant. Behind the seemingly prosperous scene, there is a dynasty that is gradually decaying. However, these high-ranking officials and literati are unconscious, competing with each other to exaggerate, showing a morbid extravagant atmosphere.

Of course, Song Zheng, as a Qi envoy, will not remind these people. In fact, even if he said a few words, he couldn't change anything, but it was rude and caused the owner to be unhappy. Therefore, he not only calmed down, but also took out all kinds of praise and put pen to paper, saying that the country of Shu was a land of immortals, which naturally made the officials and gentry happy. Song Zheng himself has also gained a lot of beautiful words, which can be compiled into a book of flattering words. In this way, it is natural that both the guests and the host will be happy.

In addition to having fun, Song Zheng was also secretly looking at Lang Boyan, and he had seen him show dissatisfaction several times, but he quickly joined the army of enjoying with the officials. Song Zheng secretly claimed that he was surprised, this second highness was clearly dissatisfied with the excessive luxury of the local officials, but he still pretended to be happy.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon, Lang Boyan is too bent to welcome him, which makes Song Zheng smell a trace of conspiracy.

What made Song Zheng feel abnormal the most was Su Chan's side. Whether they were by water or by land, Song Zheng and Su Chan were separated by Lang Boyan's people. Even if you can see Su Chan, it will be in plain sight.

This way, walked for 18 days, on the fourth day of the ninth month, Song Zheng and others finally arrived at Lingquan, which was also the last time to stop before arriving in Chengdu. That night, the wine feast was set out again. Due to the proximity to Chengdu, the scale of the banquet was not large, with only four people: Song Zheng, Lang Boyan, Xue Qimeng and Lou Jing. This time, Song Zheng not only drank happily by himself, but also frequently persuaded him to drink, thanking Lang Boyan for taking care of him all the way. Lang Boyan has a good amount of wine, but which is Song Zheng's opponent. After drinking dozens of glasses in a row, I finally got completely drunk.

poured down Lang Boyan, and Song Zheng aimed at Lou Jing again. Lou Jing was extremely sober, and after only drinking a dozen glasses, he stopped. Song Zheng persuaded again, but Lou Jing just didn't drink. He really didn't dare to drink it, Lang Boyan was drunk, and he had to keep an eye on Song Zheng. Besides, he was really afraid, along the way, Song Zheng was afraid that he would be able to drink so much, and he could really call it a thousand cups without getting drunk. For this reason, Song Zheng also won another title, "Three Absolute Sons", in addition to the civil and military shuangjue, another "wine absolute" was added.

couldn't take Lou Jing, Song Zheng didn't care, went back to the room to freshen up, and then came to Su Chan's residence. Seeing that he was about to arrive in Chengdu, no matter what, Song Zheng had to say goodbye to Su Chan alone.
