Part 1 Gorgeous Prelude Chapter 1081 Thunderbolt on a Sunny Day

Tang An'an and Pan Chengxin are both top kabuki in Bianliang City, and even if they show their figures, they will not get a greater income. And which two official prostitutes who jumped into the water are the new stars in the entertainment industry of Bianliang City this year, and it is estimated that after this conference, these two American actors will be purple.

The joy of Jinmingchi* is one after another, and the team of "water swings" has just dispersed, and it is time for mass entertainment. First, several large painting boats sailed into the center of the pool, and on the painting boat, one-on-one beauties were showing their keju skills... The appearance of the Keju boat also means that it is time to end the game, and the people around Jinmingchi begin to leave the lake in twos and threes, scattering into the flowers to find their own entertainment. These amusements are kemari.

Zhao Xing had heard that Keju was the beginning of football, but after watching the famous Keju performance in the Song Dynasty, he was so angry that he just wanted to go crazy: Although Keju kicks the ball and is round like football, the earth and Mars are also round, can they be the same thing as football?

On the boat in the middle of the lake, a team of two people is performing, three people are juju, and even seven people are juju. The ball they kicked was sewn with twelve pieces of cowhide, "twelve spiced skins, cut into brocade", which was filled with gas, kicked like kicking balloons, and the ball was fluttering in the air, staying in the air for a long time, enough to make people make all kinds of poss.

This kind of keju is already similar to kicking shuttlecock, its confrontation is almost non-existent, and the kicker just kicks the ball into the air, and then uses the ball's time in the air to show off his body shape, and that's it.

Seven of them have a special name, called "Falling Flowers", seven people stand in a row, kick the ball to the next person in turn, and change positions while kicking, from the first person to the seventh person is called "Falling Flower". After receiving the ball, the seventh person kicks the ball directly to the first person, which is called "running water......

This is the third day of March in the Song Dynasty. This festival is also the traditional Chinese "Shangsi Festival" and "Yuansi Festival", that is, "Daughter's Day" and "Women's Day". After the Song Dynasty, this festival became extinct in China, and it still exists in Korea today.

Zhao Xing happily wanted to shout: I love this dynasty, in this dynasty, there is no need for an administrative level to enter and exit the royal garden. As long as you have the face of a compatriot, you don't have to pay for the entrance fee, because this is the welfare of the common people.

On the Jinming Pond, the official prostitutes were kicking the ball hard, and in the grass, the people scattered in the royal garden were also arbitrarily grouped together and began to juju for entertainment, they were kicking in a variety of tricks, but Zhao Xing, these new science and technology scholars, had no time to watch. Because the reward of the little emperor began. In addition to the monthly salary, the officials of the Song Dynasty also had a variety of additional income, and the reward for the New Year's holidays was also one of the incomes...... No way. It is said that there were more than thirty festivals in the Song Dynasty, and there was festival money every month.

The royal reward is a red envelope given by the emperor on the spot, which contains copper coins that are different from those popular in the market. These coins are more beautifully minted and occasionally preserved in modern times, and these coins are often referred to as Fu Qian. They are not the same as circulating coins in that they do not have an era name on them, but instead cast some auspicious patterns and patterns.

Zhao Xingle dragged Zhou Bangshi to receive the emperor's land red envelope, the red envelope was the great eunuch Li Xian, and when he arrived at Zhao Xing, he heard this name. He took a closer look, and saw that this person and his apprentice Tong Guan were more powerful, so he nodded lightly without noticing, and when he handed over the money, he specially admonished: "Di Gonglang, hold it steady." ”

Zhang Yong, who praised the Japanese command room, was Li Xian's person. In the Jindai case not long ago, Li Xian fell into disadvantage. And this brocade case also means that the old man of the Little Emperor's Qiandi, Feng Shining and others have officially ascended the throne...... This marks the end of Li Xian's era.

It is said that Zhao Xing, who knows these inside information, in order to avoid getting involved in the whirlpool of power struggles. should avoid Li Xian's overtures. But Zhao Xing did not have this awareness, and he did not shy away from stepping forward to hold Li Xian's hand. said enthusiastically: "The big official has been in Qinfeng and Western Xia for many years, opening up territory for my Great Song Dynasty, and he has admired him for a long time...... I didn't expect that I would be able to hold this doubles today......"

In the history of ancient China, eunuchs and eunuchs were despised by the powerless Confucian scholars no matter how big things they did. The great eunuch Li Xian was a special case, the only one in Chinese history. He was good at war, and he won several battles. But even so, it is still looked down upon by those cultural people. Zhao Xing dared to hold the hands of the losers in the palace fight regardless of suspicion, and praised the other party's military exploits without hesitation, but provoked the contempt of the new science and technology scholars, and they quietly moved their steps and tried to distance themselves from Zhao Xing.

Li Xian was very moved, this out-of-breath eunuch squeezed Zhao Xing's hand with his backhand, and tears flashed in his eyes: "Di Gonglang looks mighty, I heard that he is also proficient in martial arts, this time the official family sent you to Mizhou to practice, I hope that Di Gonglang will live up to the trust of the official." ”

Zhao Xing nodded solemnly, and praised Tong Guan by the way: "I have seen Tong Guan, the apprentice of the great official...... The official has found a good apprentice." Zhao Xing finished speaking. In fact, he added a sentence in his stomach: "It is really the world's first wine bag and rice bag." ”

However, in the second half of the sentence, he only muttered in his stomach, and still maintained a warm and sincere smile on his face.

Strangely, Zhao Xing's intimacy with Li Xian did not anger Feng Shining and the others present. The eunuchs' minds are different from ordinary people, don't look at their internal fights to the death, but in fact, this group of people is very xenophobic. Zhao Xing has no power and power, and he can't threaten the status of eunuchs, and it has no impact on their internal fighting, but he is willing to praise and affirm Li Xian's military exploits in person, which makes Feng Shining feel very cordial, he squinted his eyes with a teacup, and silently wrote down the name Zhao Xing in his heart.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are on holiday on the holiday, which is similar to the current public holiday, take the emperor's red envelope, thank the emperor after the entire Great Song Dynasty entered the public holiday, the officials finished the money, immediately slipped downstairs to the grass to drill a date, leaving a group of unknown new science and technology scholars.

Then the stage was the aftershow of Lalang, and the official prostitutes in the venue took a fancy to the Jinshi, and immediately invited them to go on a date, and after a while, a team of dogs and men and women hugged their shoulders and disappeared into the surging crowd. The emperor is also gone - he is still young, Empress Dowager Gao is an old lady who does not like to be noisy, and after the routine scene is over. Unable to oppose the official family, she took the emperor back to the palace, leaving only a few new science and technology scholars on the entire upstairs.

"People are evil, and joy is thin...... Ah, ah", Zhao Xing stood upstairs, looking at the remaining new science and technology scholars, feeling extremely depressed. Yesterday he was still the most popular young and handsome man among official prostitutes, but I don't know what medicine Chen Yiyi gave to the group of official prostitutes who came to the house. Today, they saw Zhao Xing one by one, and they all pretended not to know each other. In the end, I didn't even get an invitation to the scene.

Going downstairs alone, Zhao Xing swayed out of Jinmingchi, and along the way he saw a special "donkey ball" performance in the Song Dynasty: more than 100 female performers, wearing cotton jackets, silk shoes, and donkeys carved across the saddle, "flower costumes" into men's appearance, divided into two teams. Holding a painted cane painted with gold and silver in his hand, he went straight to a small colored knot goal standing on the field. The spectators watched the game in order to shout "Meng in". It's like in a modern football game, the Sichuan people roared "Xiongqi".

"Meng in" is "Xiongqi". The term was also coined by the people of Sichuan. The donkey player shoots the ball passed to her into the goal, calling it "Into Meng". From a linguistic point of view, the source of "Meng in" is "Shu people play a stick into the lake and say that it is fierce, and the pronunciation is Meng in".

In the Song Dynasty women's donkey ball competition, the court, goal, flag, stick, ball size, ride, clothing, equipment, band, singing and refereeing, and the rules of the game are not far from the "big fight" men's polo. But apparently, the women's donkey ball game is more popular with the audience.

This kind of fun will last for a month and a half, and the Jinmyeongchi will be open from March 1 until mid-April.

Out of Jinming Pond, Zhao Xing looked back at this prosperous scene. It was the spring of 1087, and he took a deep breath and said from the bottom of his heart: "I love the Great Song of 1087." ”

The joy of the world is always accompanied by suffering, and when I returned home, I saw Su Shi sitting in the house. Zhao Xing knew that he was going to go back to reality again.

After Su Shi handed over the resignation form to the emperor, he didn't go home, and went directly to Zhao Xing. He needed a place to be quiet for a while. Of course, don't ask. His resignation form would normally be rejected by the Queen Mother.

Troubles and right and wrong have entangled Su Shi all his life. The brightest star of the eleventh century Asia had trouble and could not tell anyone else: he had to show his erudition in front of his colleagues; You have to show your wisdom in front of your students, and you have to show your capable side before the emperor and your bosses. wants to show the stability of a man in charge of the house in front of his wife and children, so he can only talk to Zhao Xing if he has troubles.

Su Shi said that he handed in his resignation form, and then talked about his situation of repeated attacks......

The Great Song Dynasty was under invasion, and the prosperity of the scene was covered by the cries of the people on the border, and at the time of this national crisis, the descendants of the school of struggle tightened the strings of partisan struggleβ€”they adhered to the Confucian tradition: to subdue the enemy with virtue, and to fight the compatriots to the end. took the words out of context and dug deep into the faults, and then launched a large number of fights to paralyze the government.

This is Da Song, beautiful and painful. The powerful enemies in the four realms spied on each enemy, and each enemy had destroyed countless countries, but the Great Song Dynasty staggered forward, blooming with the flower of civilization. Westerners have summed up this brilliantly, called: Glory under the blade.

Zhao Xing didn't know how to explain Su Shi, he was not a psychological mentor, he didn't know how to resolve people's knots, and the trouble in front of him made him feel powerless, he was just a small person, how could he shake the big tree of officialdom, how could he change the worldview of officials......

He let out a long sigh, and the only thing he could say was, "Why don't you go back?" ”

As far as he knows, the Song Dynasty was very preferential to scholars, such as Pan Dalin's house, this guy is now rich, enough to chase stars, it is said that he is now in Wutai Mountain, and he is mixing with Zhang Shangying, and the two have written some famous poems that have been passed down through the ages. If Su Shi didn't become this official, his money would be enough to spend for several lifetimes, and the Song Dynasty did not raid his home, and he would have no conflict of interest with those parties when he left the court, and he would not fall into the literary prison if he wrote anything - go home and lie in a rocking chair, why endure this "literary prison".

"How can I return", Su Shi remembered the instructions of the Empress Dowager Gao that night, and said with a crying voice: "How can I return...... Official ...... Queen Mother ......"

"The Queen Mother has a will......", Tong Guan's male duck voice sounded at the door: "Leave people, the Queen Mother Yi will...... Hey, the bachelor is here, too. I'm going to give you a salute...... Brother Liren, I heard that Qiantang Jinshi Zhou Bangshi is here with you, please ask him to come and receive the order. ”

Zhao Xing now has no original sense of mystery about the Song Dynasty's holy decree, he stood in the room casually, big: "Come on." It's so late, and besides, all the officials are on vacation now, and you still come to deliver the message? Don't be funny! Tell me something! ”

Tong Guan was stunned for a long time, only looking at Su Shi with his eyes and not speaking.

Su Shi was very proud, and when he saw that Zhao Xing and Tong Guan wanted to be inseparable from each other, his face was a little gloomy, and he stood up. Flicked his sleeves and was about to say a few angry words to say goodbye, but then Ma Mengde, who broke in, immediately grabbed him affectionately, and couldn't help but drag him out.

After Ma Mengde came to the capital, he was busy with his feet not touching the ground, so he visited him once, and at this moment he had a thousand words to tell him, Su Shi smiled bitterly, and walked out of the hall with Ma Mengde. Under the corridor, Zhao Xing's student Cheng Shuang shrank his head and bowed to Su Shi, and Su Shi nodded silently. Following Ma Mengde's detour to the middle courtyard, he stopped and asked, "Is Cheng Shuang calling you to come?" It's a good student to leave people! ”

"Don't you also have a good student", Ma Mengde replied: "When Tong Guan's eunuch broke in, Xiao Shuangsheren saw that the momentum was wrong, so he hurriedly pulled me to find you, just thinking that you couldn't see the eunuch." ”

"It's too miscellaneous to make friends!" Su Shi sighed.

"More miscellaneous than you...... Well, that's really miscellaneous! ”

Su Shi laughed all of a sudden.

After laughing, he sighed again: "This is the second time I have eaten closed-door soup today, and I think I Su Shi still has this day!" ”

"Huh...... Someone else gives you a closed door, who? ”

"Yan Dao!"

"Tell me?" Ma Mengde shows the potential for gossip. Asked with great interest: "Yan Jidao, is he the son of the former prime minister Yan Shuxiang?" Yan Xianggong has no choice but to let the flowers fall, and the return of the familiar Yan is a must, it is said that Xiaoshan Xiaoling is better than his father - the pipa strings say lovesickness. At that time, the bright moon was there, and he returned to the ...... according to the clouds."

"It's the hill...... Yan Xianggong left Wanguan furniture. Yan Xiaoshan has no restraint, he is extravagant, he has spent all the money that can be spent for several lifetimes in just a few years, his family is cold and hungry and has the appearance of a child, and people are not vigilant. Shangxin people will never suspect that they are deceiving themselves. Now he only has to compose music and sell poems for a living. It's all glamorous and vulgar songs. I wanted to persuade him on the way - there is a vacant seat for a town supervisor in Xutian Town, Yingchang Prefecture...... Unexpectedly. but he drove him out. ”

"What did he say?"

This time it was four voices asking at the same time. Su Shi and Ma Mengde said as they walked, and at this time they had reached the door of Ma Mengde's room, Qin Guan, Li and Chen Jichang happened to come to Ma Mengde with their shoulders on their backs, and asked in unison when they heard this.

"He said that most of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court today were the old guest protΓ©gΓ©s of my Yan Mansion, and I didn't even have time to meet them, let alone you! After that, he turned around and went back to the house, and ordered the guests to be sent off. ”

In this passage, the "nostalgia" complex of the disciples of the declining family is revealed, as well as arrogance and unwillingness...... And endless decadence.

Several people in the room were silent.

Ma Mengde followed Zhao Xing to do business, and he was already contaminated with a lot of philistine, he was not in the mood to pity the children of the declining family, while pushing open his door with a relaxed demeanor, inviting these people into the house, and greeting these people familiarly: "Ji Chang, the loach boat is already here, why haven't you left yet?" Are you going to go home with the departed people, it will have to wait ten days...... Shaoyou, Uncle Fang, you two come to me, there will definitely be no good thing, turn around and Ji Chang is gone, see who else you can pull as a cover?

Zizhan, the previous closed door, you eat the ground and are solid; The latter paragraph is not considered closed-door. The departed student asked me to pull you away, just to be reunited with you...... Tong Guan came here last time and took away the only mare left by people, and this time it was not a good thing, but with you present, he will not be able to speak. The eunuch has a crippled body and a vicious personality, and Cheng Shuang asked me to pull you away, but I didn't want you to anger him...... Okay, well, I know you're not afraid, but they are tiles, you are porcelain, porcelain has to touch with tiles, who do you say is the loss? ”

Su Shi was laughed at by Ma Mengde, he smiled and said: "Zhengqing, you are full of businessmen now, and you can talk about winning and losing everything...... By the way, it is good to guess other people's thoughts, you have been with him for a long time, now let's not talk about Tong Guan for the time being, you can talk about Shaoyou and Uncle Fang coming to you, what do you care? ”

"Paper and Armor...... In the newly arrived cargo ship, there was a white paper and armor from the Japanese kingdom, and these two people have recently become obsessed with Japanese paper and archery, and they must have come to ask for these two things. Uncle Fang, this little thing is not worth a few dollars, just tell Nei Zhi directly, but you follow Shaoyou every day. Don't let Shaoyou take it badly.

Qin Shaoyou and Li Hehe laughed.

In Zhao Xing's living room, only Tong Guan and himself were left, Tong Guan carefully closed the door of the living room, walked to Zhao Xing's side, and asked softly: "People say that they are friends enough, and they are brothers, if I mess with you for the rest of my life, what if I mess with you for the rest of my life?" ”

This sentence is like a bolt from the blue. Zhao Xing, who was shocked, couldn't sit still: "Don't talk nonsense, can you talk nonsense about this sentence, what kind of person am I, dare to call the pavilion chief...... Nuo Nuo, you don't want to live, I still want to live, if you dare to say this today, don't blame me for killing you, to confess myself. ”

Tong Guan was so anxious that his face was red, and his majestic body was like a boiled shrimp. He threw his hand at Zhao Xing again and again, and said, "Di Gong, Hugh is loud...... This one. I can't tell you, Zhan Miao...... Do you know the affairs of the county lord? ”

"Zhan Miao refuses to marry, I am on the scene", Zhao Xing slowly understood what the other party meant, and then asked: "I heard that the county lord of Lezhi has been deprived of her title, what is wrong with her now?" Tong Guan whispered: "It's about Lezhi, you know that Lezhi has been deprived of his title, and in order to cover it up, the official family plans to give Lezhi as a marrying member to Zhan." But Zhan Zhuangyuan resolutely refused to marry. Tell me what to do now - secluded Miyagi, but as long as you are happy for a day, where is the royal dignity......"

Zhao Xing jumped all over the ground like a soldering iron, and waved his hand anxiously: "Don't look for me, I have a wife and a concubine." I can't stand it because of the royal princess's temper......"

"Who said you got married?" Tong Guan glanced at Zhao Xing reproachfully: "Who can marry Lezhi now, she shouldn't exist......"

Zhao Xing originally wanted to ask, "Can't you kill it?" But he immediately thought that the Song Dynasty had not yet slaughtered the clan in broad daylight. If the royal family doesn't even kill the scholars, how can they kill their own bloodline?

Zhao Xing has hundreds of years of historical experience than Tong Guan. He knew that there were many other ways to kill someone......

Pity. These topics cannot be spoken.

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time and decided to quietly send Lezhi overseas. Never mention it in front of people. You can't do this. Recently, the official family heard some guards talk about you, and when the Queen Mother was worried, he gave this advice, saying: "There is a big man among the Jinshi of the current department, and I have heard that he has been overseas. According to the guard Zhang Yong, when Su Laopo was in trouble, he lost because of a bet, so he tried his best to support Lao Po's young son Su Dun, and also ran east and west, and also earned money for Lao Po's family.

…… This person is good and reliable, and even Lao Po said that he can entrust his wife and children. I also heard that there are people from all the countries where he lives, the land of Wakoku, the land of Goryeo, and the land of Cochin......"

Tong Guan paused and whispered: "This is a secret edict, the Queen Mother hopes that you will secretly send the original Princess Lezhi and the current Zhao Qin'er to be placed outside, no matter which country it is, this matter can only be known to you." ”

Zhao Xing slowly sat on the chair, slowly picked up the teacup, and asked slowly, "Zhao Qin'er...... Who is the man? ”

Tong Guan knew what Zhao Xing was asking, and replied in a low voice: "You don't need to inquire about this matter, the county lord likes to be quiet or not, he rarely goes out, and there are only those people around him." The palace knows who that person is, but they can't say ......."

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, glanced at Tong Guan, and wondered in his heart: Why are the guards in the palace so relaxed, and someone is dancing a knife in front of the political hall; There are also people who have made the princess's belly bigger, is it possible that the eunuchs in the palace are understaffed, so they have not tied the princess's fence wall?

Tong Guan noticed Zhao Xing's glance, he should have guessed what Zhao Xingdi meant, a trace of anger flashed on his face, Zhao Xing immediately woke up, and quickly remedied: "I understand, you want to follow Le Zhi and leave the palace - that's why you said that at the beginning." ”

Tong Guan's face softened, and he smiled bitterly: "The palace is discussing who to send the princess out of the palace, I have no power and no power now, and the master Li Xian has also fallen, rather than I am suffering in the palace, it is better to go out with the music, and I can still have someone to take care of the rest of my life." ”

The temptation is too great.

Zhao Xing witnessed the prosperous scenery in front of him, and thought that in a few decades, the iron cavalry of the Hu people would crush this mountain and river, and he always felt a sense of powerlessness, which was a pain that bordered on despair.

He always wanted to do something for this era, to save its fate, or to slow down the arrival of fate, and there was an opportunity in front of him.

Tong Guan was one of the "six thieves" who caused the demise of the Song Dynasty, and abducting him could change the trend of history.

After a little groaning, Zhao Xing shook his head slowly, and said in his heart, "Impossible." Is the fate of the fall of the Great Song Dynasty really led by these six people? Can six people lead a glorious civilization that has lasted for more than 200 years to its demise? Impossible!

It was Song Huizong who created Tong Guan and the six thieves, not the six thieves who created Song Huizong. Without Tong Guan, there will be Wang Guan, Ma Guan, Liu Guan, instead of taking away a known dangerous person and waiting for another strange dangerous person to be given by fate, it is better to squeeze the benefits of the one in front of you and take advantage of it......"

Tong Guan was frightened by Zhao Xing's shaking head, and he said worriedly: "Brother, you have to agree to come down, you can't let others know about this, I patted my chest at the official house, and now you know, and I still refuse to obey the order, then do I have a way to live when I go back, brother, Brother Xing, Di Gong, Lord Judge, you can't bear me." ”
