Zhan Qinqin relied on his familiarity and jumped out in the lead: "I sang a song "West Chamber Moon" to the big officials, this is still composed by Qin Shaoyou and Lord Qin, the song was made by Lord Taiwei himself, and now the party ban is abolished, and Qin Shaoyou and Qin Dacaizi's poems are also allowed to be sung, so it is better for me to start with this song "West Chamber Moon". ”

Zhan Qinqin said, couldn't help but say hello to the entourage and played the music, singing the song "Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber". Zhao Xingsheng was born in the Song Dynasty, listening to this song full of Peking Opera style, as if he didn't know what time it was.

"Tonight, the boat is in the middle of the stream. What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince...... singing it, Zhanqin Qin is still unfinished, singing the Yue Ren song, her eyes are flowing, staring at Zhao Xing with affection, it seems that she is full of enthusiasm into the song, and her expression is more like a resentful woman whispering and pleading, hoping that it is soft-hearted.

But Zhao Xing's heart is made of iron and stone, he listened to the Yue Ren song, with tears in his eyes, thinking deeply, he didn't pay attention to Zhan Qinqin's charming eyes.

As soon as Zhan Qinqin finished singing, there was a shouting sound in the surrounding boxes, and the guys in the building shuttled in, constantly asking Zhan Qinqin for a turntable---- which was also the fashion of the Song Dynasty. The reason why the so-called top ten in Beijing are sought after is also this, they are the best in the world, and there are no new songs and new songs to perform, which will attract applause. Nearby officials would then send out invitations to perform again in their boxes.

And the turntable of the music is not without benefit to the original box owner, these Song Dynasty music such as modern courtesans, their turntable needs to obtain the permission of the original box owner. The owner of the box will choose the one he wants to make friends with among the many invitations, and then let the turntable go to the box and bring the message or conspiracy he wants to convey.

The more popular the kabuki, the more invitations they received when they performed their stunts, and the more the owners of the boxes they had hired were to choose from, so they preferred to pursue the popular kabuki, so there were the so-called "Ten Uniques of the Okyo" and "Sixteen Uniques of the Okyo". Wait a minute.

In response to the invitation of Zhanqin Qindi, Zhao Xing selected several famous posts among them, all of whom were familiar people, including Jiang Zhiqi, Chen, and several known imperial histories. Zhao Xingbian handed the selected name card to Zhan Qinqin. Bian instructed: "Greetings along the way, I just came to the capital, and I don't have anything special to explain." ”

After packing up the rest of the post, Zhao Xing selected another copy and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Xu Shixi and Xu Tanhua are also in this building, man, please come over and say that I have affection." ”

The man nodded in agreement, and led Zhan Qinqin and her local musician out of the box. Zhao Xing shook his head lightly with a little disappointment---- Among so many famous posts, there is only no name post of the little emperor Zhao Ji, it seems that the box has been completely silent in the world of you and me. I didn't know what was going on outside.

Xu Shixi didn't come alone, he also brought two people, one is Li Gonglin, and the other is a young man under the age of twenty, Li Gonglin looked obviously frail and old, sickly and fragmented, Zhao Xing saw Li Gonglin, hurriedly got up from his seat, and said, "Brother Boshi." I heard that you have served as the official of Zhongmen Lower Province, the Imperial History Inspector, and the Imperial Fenglang, but I came to the capital but did not see you, and I went to Zhongmen Lower Province to inquire, and no one knew your whereabouts, where did you go here? Why can't you find it everywhere? ”

Li Gonglin smiled and arched his hand: "Tai Lieutenant." If you come a little later. You won't see me anymore. The lower official has been dismissed due to illness. is planning to return to his hometown Longmian Mountain. Buried in the mountains for the rest of his life. Today is where Xu Tanhua saw me off......"

Zhao Xing was reluctant: "Brother Boshi." Others call me Taiwei Shangke. If you call me so. Hugh blames me for being angry. ”

Xu Shixi smiled and played a round game: "Take a look." I'll just say it. The virtuous brother who left the people is a person who misses the old land. Why should we be in front of him? Tai Lieutenant Da Tai Lieutenant Xiao Di. Just pinch his nose and pour wine. ”

Xu Shixi said. Unceremoniously sat down in a chair. After looking at the rest of the ground one by one. He picked up a chopstick. There was a clanging crunch as it knocked on the plate. sighed and said, "I'll just say it." The Manchu Song Dynasty dared to gather the Ten Jedi of Bianliang. Only Zhao Liren. Someone else wants to do it. One is that he doesn't have that much face. The second is that there is not so much money. I am the only one who is a good brother. There is money, the right to have face. There are means. ”

Zhao Xing laughed and teased: "You say so." I'm middle-aged. Miao Miao. It's your turn to sing. What's your song? ”

Guan Miaomiao shook her head: "The slave family is still taking care of it here." Let the sisters perform first. Lu Miaojing. Tell me a passage. ”

A young woman stepped forward, Tingting bowed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Slave will come to Zhao to appease the southern expedition to Dali!" ”

Guan Miaomiao's eyes widened, and the other sisters clapped their hands together: "The part where the elephant soldiers came, the slave liked Zhao the most about the anecdotal story of the Great War Elephant Soldiers......

"What, I also raised a group of good mice, thus defeating the Dali elephant soldiers?" Zhao Xing was a little embarrassed. Shuai Fan muttered a sentence of Zhao Xing's original evaluation next to him: "How can meat buns defeat dogs, and how can rats defeat elephants?" ”

Shuai Fan muttered there, Zhao Xing beckoned Li Gonglin to sit down, Li Gonglin pulled the young man who was walking with him with his backhand, and solemnly introduced to Zhao Xing: "Leave people, let me introduce you, this is a genius, his surname is Zhang Ming, after I leave, I want you to take care of it more...... Righteousness, he is a big collector, most of my paintings are purchased by him, you know him, there is no loss at all, if you paint well in the future, you can take the scroll to him to cheat money, tell you, his money is easy to cheat. ”

Li Gonglin said politely. Compared with the income of painters in this era, Zhao Xing's acquisition of Li Gonglin's paintings is indeed a sky-high price, but this price is a drop in the bucket compared with the auction price of his own paintings in later generations.

Speaking of money, Zhao Xing hurriedly asked Li Gonglin again: "Brother Boshi, you resigned and returned to your hometown, is the money enough, do you want me to support more?" Li Gonglin pointed at Zhao Xing with a smile and said to the young man, "Look, that's really the case...... The money is enough, the money given to me by the people is enough for me to buy the entire Longmian Mountain, I have built a large courtyard on the mountain, and I will have leisure in the future, and I will accept a few disciples to play the light yin, and I will be a foot valley in this life. It's just that after I leave, the righteous virtuous nephew still needs you to take care of it! ”

"No problem, Righteous Nephew, I've got your paintings...... Sheet. Zhang Zeduan, what, your name is Zhang Zeduan? Zhao Xing couldn't hide the astonishment on his face, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, but he didn't realize it.

At the porch, a woman's figure swayed in like the wind. When Xu Shixi saw it, he immediately clapped his hands: "The senior girl is here, it's great, you are here, Bianjing Shi must be considered to have made up ...... in this room."

Xu Shixi's interruption, Zhao Xing's shock just now happened to cover up the past, but seeing the appearance of Li Shishi, Zhao Xing was no longer shocked, he was completely stunned now.

The first time I saw this world's first and second wife. Zhao Xing was a little overwhelmed, he didn't know what way to greet this "No. 1 second wife in the world" who created a way of life, in his impression. Even if it is "the first and second wife of a certain county" and "the first and second wife of a certain city", it is already terrible, not to mention that this "first and second wife of China", no matter what kind of way it is greeted, it seems that it is not grand enough and not "unspoken rules" enough.

However, Master Li's actions relieved Zhao Xing, and she bowed down, although her expression was cold. The words were very respectful: "The master has seen Lord Taiwei!" ”

Zhao Xing sneered, raised his hand calmly, and made a vain movement: "Peony girl is polite." ”

Li Shishi is the daughter of Wang Yindi, a craftsman from the Bianjing Dyeing Bureau. When she was an infant, her mother died, and her father fed her soy milk as milk, and she survived. At that time, it was customary in Tokyo that parents loved their children and gave them up to Buddhist temples. Wang Yin also asked his daughter to sacrifice herself in Baoguang Temple. When she went to the Buddhist temple to give herself up, the little girl suddenly began to cry. The monk stroked the top of her head, and she immediately stopped crying. Her father secretly thought, "This girl is really a disciple of the Buddha." ”

In the Song Dynasty, the slang called the Buddha's disciples "teacher", so her father called her "teacher". When the master was four years old, Wang Yin was a craftsman, and because he missed the printing and dyeing deadline, he was arrested and imprisoned by Wang Anshi and other law-changers and died in prison. The teacher lost her mother when she was young, lost her father in childhood, and had no place to return, so Grandma Li, who was affiliated with a prostitution, adopted her and changed her surname to Li. also entered the Goulan prostitution. The stage name is called "White Peony (according to the account of Liu Xueji of the Southern Song Dynasty)", hence. Zhao Xing called her "Peony Girl".

Master Li is still the kind of cold and arrogant image, she blessed a salute, and said with a faint expression: "Lord Taiwei is a famous general in the world, and he is also a true man who cherishes love and righteousness today. ”

Zhao Xingqiang smiled, he waved his hand, and presented a meeting gift to Master Li, Zhao Xing muttered to himself in his heart, and said: "Fu Lu Mianmian, this can be done as long as you work hard, poetry and writing cover the world, this is not something I can do with my personal efforts, it requires talent, it seems that although I have superb means to govern the place, my talent is still lacking." ”

A smile appeared on the frozen face of the master, but this smile was fleeting, and that smile made Zhao Xing feel amazing, he was a little distracted, and only listened to Master Li bow again, and replied: "Lord Taiwei can be regarded as the least among the disciples of Sumen, but in terms of the means of governing the place of Lord Taiwei, I see, among the disciples of Sumen, there is no one who is comparable to half of Lord Taiwei."

That's not all, only a few hand-me-down works of Lord Taiwei can be regarded as really good, not worse than the rest of Sumen's peerless. The slave also speculated that at that time, what kind of strange man did Liao everyone fancied, who could dance with swords and guns and sweep away a country, and only used one-tenth of the strength of others; got off the horse and wrote poems, which also made thousands of poets in the capital die of shame. For one side of the shepherd, in a few years, the wealth is the best in the world, such a man, everyone thinks that he is an iron-blooded man, who would have thought that he is also tender......

Thinking of this, the slave couldn't help but admire the courage of the Liao family, thinking that the reputation of the Liao family was in full swing at the beginning, but they were able to resolutely abandon their fame and go to the capital...... I'm waiting for the fireworks woman to usher in, I don't like great wealth, it's rare to have a lover. Lord Taiwei treats everyone Liao well, so that everyone in Liao is alive every day in honey, and the slave here worships everyone Liao and congratulates the sisters in the capital. ”

All the Song people's notes record that Master Li was a cold beauty, and the tragic experience of her childhood made her feel gloomy about life, and also made him cold to those high-sounding high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. She didn't start to be arrogant after becoming the "first and second wife in the world", and legend has it that when Song Huizong pursued her, he also ate countless hollow rice balls.

It is rare for the arrogant Master Li to say so much, just now, the rest of the sisters in the ten peers in the capital are still surprised, when Zhao Xing first saw Master Li, why did this famous general seem a little at a loss, it is said that in terms of beauty, none of the ten peers in the capital are inferior to Master Li. And Li Shishi Dimei and Liao Xiaoxiao are different types, it is difficult to say whether the two are superior, so it is impossible to say that Zhao Xing was shocked by beauty and seemed to have lost his usual calmness.

Now, seeing that Master Li is also very enthusiastic about Zhao Xing. They clapped their hands together and said gossipingly: "Senior girl, this is really a pity, Lang has a concubine who has intentions, I don't know if Lord Taiwei can be a guest tonight?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled happily, his heart was empty, Master Li was still the same iceberg beauty, she saluted, and said, "The slave's guest Zhao Yi has invited Lord Taiwei." I wonder if Lord Taiwei is willing to appreciate his face? ”

Zhao Yi?!

Zhao Xing turned this name in his heart, and immediately understood that this was the pseudonym of the little emperor.

Although the Song Dynasty was a mercantile society, a merchant came forward to invite important officials of the imperial court. As a lieutenant, Zhao Xing can completely refuse...... However, who made the name Zhao Yi have another meaning.

As soon as Master Li spoke, a look of condemnation appeared on the faces of the sisters. Although the status of the top ten in the capital is respected, most people will accept their invitations and reduce their customers, however, the identity of a businessman, who dares to invite Zhao Laohu, who is known as "unprovoked", to meet in the past, does he think this tiger is a cat? What they didn't expect was this. Zhao Xing actually agreed, he stood up and replied without hesitation: "Senior girl, please lead the way...... Boss Dong, please help me greet the girls. Xu Tanhua, Brother Bo Shi, righteous and virtuous nephew, and after a while, I will come back immediately. ”

Master Li led Zhao Xing out of the box. Halfway through, she saw Zhao Xing silent, but she broke the silence and said in a low voice: "Lord Taiwei, the slave often listens to the comments of the capital, and says that Lord Taiwei is a hero, and the slave deeply hopes that Lord Taiwei can also take care of one."

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly, and he nodded noncommittally.

It's easy to rob a woman with the emperor. Zhou Bangyan and the emperor robbed women and belonged to the fiction of the Ming and Qing dynasties. But the Song Dynasty also recorded a person. He did rob the emperor of a woman, this person is named Jia Yi. was Master Li's first love, and he was also a talented man at that time, but this person was relegated to Hainan by Song Huizong and died in Hainan.

In addition, there are several literati who robbed women with the emperor, all of them have been taught a lesson by the emperor, and two or three people have not suffered too much under the protection of Master Li, but several people who are not protected by Master Li have all been killed by the emperor. It is expected that the so-called protection of Master Li is not good, and it is also that Master Li does not have a deep affection for them.

Pinning his own safety on a woman's feelings for herself, this is something Zhao Xing would never do, so he was perfunctory on the surface, looking very cold, the master walked a few steps, stopped again, turned sideways to Zhao Xing and made a blessing, and asked: "Lord Taiwei, the master can feel Lord Taiwei's coldness, but I don't know where the slave offended Lord Taiwei?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled indifferently and asked unexpectedly, "Is there one?" ”

Master Li replied softly: "Of course, Lord Taiwei is unscrupulous and smiling at his sisters, but he is respectful and polite to his master, but this kind of respect has the taste of rejecting people, and the master thinks that he admires Lord Taiwei very much, but I don't know why Lord Taiwei puts on a posture of rejecting people?" ”

Zhao Xing pointed ahead and replied, "Senior girl, your box has arrived." ”

Master Li made another blessing and hurriedly said: "Nu Pingshen envied everyone Liao the most, when he was young, he called Bainuo, but he was able to retreat bravely and find a good way out for himself, although everyone Liao died early, but she often said in her sisters' letters that in the days by Mrs. Zhao's side, every day enjoyed joy and happiness, as if living in a honey pot.

Lord Taiwei, the slave lives in the ......, and I hope that Lord Taiwei will come and walk around more in his spare time. As he spoke, the two of them had already walked to the little emperor's box, Master Li's words were very vague, Zhao Xing's attention was not on this, he didn't hear the name of the place she said, he took a few steps forward, entered the restaurant first, and bowed his hand to the little emperor: "Zhao Daguan, don't come unharmed." ”

The little emperor of the impostor businessman Zhao Yi obviously didn't intend to reveal his identity in front of Master Li, he nodded at Zhao Xing with satisfaction, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Captain, please sit down." ”

Zhao Xing glanced at the box, the two eunuchs in the box were still wearing the clothes of the guards of the royal palace of the clan, looking at the situation, they seemed to be Zhao Ji's companions in the Duanwang Mansion. In addition, Gao Yu was dressed in a five-grade official uniform and stood sideways beside the little emperor. Seeing Zhao Xinglai, he winked at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing first threw his hand at Gao Yu and said, "Lord Gao, how many will you come back?" When I came to the capital, I heard that you had already gone to Zhending. ”

Gao Yu smiled and waved his hand, and his forked hands did not leave the square inch. replied respectfully: "Lord Zhao, I'm scared." Gao Yu is a small official, and he can't afford to be called an adult. ”

Gao Yu is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, according to the Song Dynasty notes and Su Shi's genealogy, even if Gao Yu later served as a captain, in the face of Su Shi's son Su Guo, he still looked very respectful, and resolutely refused to let Su Guo call himself "brother", and he still regarded himself as a subordinate in front of Su Guo.

Maybe. It is really Gao Yu's duty, so he is deeply liked by Song Huizong, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility to Gao Yu.

At this time. In the face of Zhao Xing, Gao Yu still maintained the attitude of his subordinates in the past, and refused to let Zhao Xing call him "adult". However, because Zhao Xing got along closely with Gao Yu in the past, he asked indifferently: "Master Yan, how is your Hun family, have you ever given birth to a son and a half daughter?" ”

The wife can't have children, which is a piece of Gao Yu's heart disease. It was only in the Song Dynasty that the inability of the wives of high-ranking officials to have children was still a problem. In the future, the emperor's cronies like Gao Yu have begun to use MBA knowledge to manage the second milk group. However, not only Gao Yu, the local officials of the Song Dynasty, also had this trouble, but Li Gefei also had this trouble, but fortunately, his daughter Li Qingzhao was smart, which saved him from the trouble of not having a son.

Gao Yu sighed and explained: "I have already inherited a son from my brother, and my wife is still of childbearing age. I hope to have a son and a half daughter in the future. ”

After Gao Yu said this, he felt as if he had snubbed the little emperor, and hurriedly turned the topic back: "Lord Zhao, you came to the capital to play the right game, I don't know if you plan to enter the court next, or transfer to another place?" ”

Gao Yu sent an inquiry on behalf of the little emperor, and without waiting for Zhao Xing to answer, Master Li clapped his hands and interjected: "Of course, I stayed in the capital...... Captain Zhao can be a general when he gets on the horse. Dismount can psalm. The talent of governing the country was undoubtedly revealed in Guangnan's tenure. This kind of talent is a good person, and now which adult in the court is as good as a new one. ”

According to the records of the Song people, the love between Song Huizong and Li Shishi lasted for 19 years before it came to fruition, and after 19 years (Xuanhe Yuannian), the official Cao Fu finally couldn't bear it anymore and wrote the emperor's private relationship with Li Shishi on the chapter to advise, which officially recorded the love between Li Shishi and Song Huizong in history, and before, the ministers of the court seemed to have lost their memory, turning a blind eye to it and not hearing it.

When Master Li said this, a trace of jealousy crossed the little emperor's face, and Zhao Xing observed it carefully, noticing this trace of jealousy.

This is the jealousy of a young man in love, he is irrational and unreasonable.

It is said that when Zhao Xing saw the little emperor, he should persuade the little emperor in passing, for example, to persuade the little emperor, in this sensitive moment when he has just ascended the throne, the little emperor should not go out of the palace at will, there was a mutiny in the palace yesterday, and the little emperor went out of the palace to play the next day, which is unreasonable anyway......

However, Zhao Xing didn't want to play an old-fashioned role and reprimand the little emperor as a father, which made this child who didn't know the height of the sky have psychological resistance. The little emperor went out of the palace to play, what happened to Zhao Xing, so he didn't say a word. Now, seeing the look on the little emperor's face, Zhao Xing waved his hand at Master Li unceremoniously and asked, "Miss Master, what are you good at, give us a song, and I will chat with Zhao Daguan." ”

Master Li greeted the musician obediently, played and sang with the pipa in his arms, the jealous look on Zhao Ji's face became even stronger, he approached Zhao Xing, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Taiwei, the teacher girl never says anything to people, and she is silent, how much work did I spend to get close, but when I saw the Taiwei today, the teacher girl was frequent."

Zhao Xing laughed, and in the music of the pipa, he leaned close to Zhao Ji's ear and whispered: "Official, do you know an anecdote ---- legend about Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin got a fierce horse offered by the Turks, and no one can tame it. Tang Taizong asked how to tame, and Wu Zetian replied: I will use the leather whip first, if the leather whip can't make her quiet, I will use a hammer, and use the hammer to slam its head to see if it dares to be disobedient. ”

The little emperor wondered: "Ma, what does this have to do with women?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled, and smiled treacherously: "A woman is a fierce horse, if it is far away, it will not be tamed, and if it is close, it will not be profane, taming a woman is like taming a fierce horse......"
