The words were divided into two ends, and Zhao Gou stayed at Zhou Dong's place to practice martial arts with peace of mind. Practicing with Zhou Tong every day, Zhao Gou's attack methods became more and more proficient, and he faintly surpassed other disciples. Zhao Gou studied seriously, comprehended quickly, and had a high level of understanding; Seeing this, Zhou Tong was overjoyed and poured out his money to teach him, so that Zhao Gou's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds.

On the other hand, in the Bianjing Imperial Palace, the current emperor Song Huizong Zhao Ji is as stable as Mount Tai, sitting on the dragon chair, and there is a black scarf masked Cai Wang Zhao in the middle of the banquet, there is no one in the room, even the guards have been sent away, leaving only the two of them. Song Huizong Zhao Ji said eagerly: "How is it, how is Lao Jiu living there?" ”

Seeing that Song Huizong was so impatient, Cai Wang Zhao couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry, Lao Jiu is all right there." And, successfully worship under his door. In this way, Lao Jiu also got what he wanted. Although he has endured some hardships, he can still persevere, which is really rare. ”

"To be honest, the person who apprenticed to Lao Jiu was Zhou Tong, which was beyond my expectations. At the beginning, Zhang San and Li Si followed behind and observed silently, not daring to get too close, but they were finally discovered by Zhou Dong. At that time, Zhang San and Li Si swore that Zhou Tong would definitely accept Lao Jiu, and they felt a little incredible. ”

"Now that I think about it, it's really insightful! Later, I sent someone to check it out, and the news was exactly what they said. It's good for Lao Jiu to stay there, in this way, there is no need to worry about some things in the court, and he can practice martial arts with peace of mind. Brother Huang, what should I do next? ”

Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was silent for a moment, and said: "The dispute between the two factions in the DPRK and China has resurfaced again, and the country has improved a little, so this is the case. If we follow the previous method and act arbitrarily, it may affect the stability of the entire people's dynasty. Next, act according to the plan, reactivate the new character, and use him to balance the dispute between the two factions. ”

Cai Wang Zhao asked in a deep voice: "Is there a candidate for the imperial brother?" ”

"Among the hundred officials, I chose two people!" Song Huizong Zhao Ji said calmly, "One person is the person who was around me before-Tong Guan, and the matter of Cai Jing last time also made him reined in, and there was nothing to do with reactivation; The other person has a relatively low position - Gao Yu. ”

"Gao Yu?" Cai Wang Zhao looked at Zhao Ji suspiciously, he knew Tong Guan's temperament, but Gao Yu didn't know anything.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji said leisurely: "Gao Yu is well-behaved, not only can he write beautiful calligraphy, he has a certain foundation in poetry and songs, and he can use guns and sticks, and he has a certain foundation in martial arts. In addition, Gao Yu has participated in several wars between the DPRK and China, and is an absolute supporter of the new party in the DPRK and China. ”

"How does this person compare to Cai Jing?" Cai Wang Zhao seemed to frown and said in a low voice.

Song Huizong lowered his head and pondered, and said in a deep voice: "Half a catty and eight taels!" ”

Zhao seemed to be expressionless, and said solemnly: "Cai Jing's affairs have caused a miasma in the court, the people are not happy, and the people are complaining. If this person is similar to Cai Jing, he must be the same as Cai Jing's actions. If that's the case, don't be empty again, uncontrollable, like a wild horse that has escaped from the leash, unruly. ”

"This person is well controlled, which is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, and can be regarded as a talent; If it is not properly controlled, it will endanger the Great Song Dynasty, which is indeed a double-edged sword! ”

Song Huizong nodded, and said with a solemn face: "This person seems to be well-behaved and obedient, and he doesn't like to fight for merit, but in fact, he can only know if he has enough power!" ”

"Lao Jiu's intentions, how can I not know! The Great Song Dynasty is weak, the literary style is prevalent, even I am good at literature and military affairs, not to mention the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, more than half of them are civil ministers! ”

"Gao Yu is complete in literature and martial arts, writes good articles, and knows some martial arts, and has gone on expeditions with the army, so he can be regarded as a military general!"

"I used him to prepare in advance for the future, and I hope that the ministers of the DPRK and the central government will be dedicated to the country regardless of civil and military affairs! There are no ministers, or military generals, which are beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, and everything should be based on state affairs! ”

"I hope they can appreciate the good intentions of the imperial brother!" Zhao seemed to sigh, and then said: "The affairs of the court, the ministers and brothers don't want to say much, everything is dominated by the imperial brother, the brother is the king of a country, and he should be for the country and the people!" ”

Emperor Huizong of Song remembered the Chinese military minister of the dynasty, fought openly and secretly, and sighed helplessly: "At the beginning, I thought that the Great Song Dynasty was hopeless, so I listened to others, and followed the precepts of the ancestors, and did not dare to overthrow the system of the ancestors, so that the Great Song Dynasty seemed to be huge, but in fact it was shaky, and everything was a mistake!" ”

Zhao seemed to hurriedly say: "Brother Huang can't have such thoughts, it's not that time yet!" Isn't everything you are doing now just to make the Great Song Dynasty more stable? ”

Song Huizong smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't let it go and adopted a gentle policy, it wouldn't have developed into today's situation!" It would be much better if I had done the same fundamental reform as the previous emperor and continued to persist in reform! ”

"There are some unexpected things, so you can only do everything you can to do them well!" Zhao seemed to sigh, remembering Zhao Gou's matter, and then asked: "Brother Huang, do you still need to send people to follow the matter of Lao Jiu?" ”

"No need, just let him stay there and practice martial arts!" Song Huizong smiled indifferently and said, "Zhou Dong is old, but his martial arts are still there, if one is not good, and he finds something abnormal, it will not be good!" ”

Zhao seemed to also nodded in agreement, he also felt that Zhao Gou arrived in Tangyin County safe and sound, and worshiped under Zhou Dong's door, and there was no need to send someone to guard the rest of the matter!

Then, Song Huizong said in a deep voice: "You send some people to observe the two of them, and it is imperative to concentrate on this matter!" Now is the important juncture, you can't ignore it, and then make a decision, choose one or the other! ”

Zhao Ru nodded solemnly and said, "Brother obeys!" ”

So, Cai Wang Zhao seemed to disappear into the night again, and Song Huizong also stood up, opened the window, let the breeze blow on his face, and was silent!

At the beginning, Zhao Gou chose to travel the world and search for famous teachers, and after Song Huizong agreed, he ordered Zhao to send people to follow and protect secretly, and got unexpected news!

Song Huizong whispered and muttered: "I didn't expect that Lao Jiu met him and got his appreciation; From this point of view, Lao Jiu's must be the one who takes over the big responsibility, so it's okay, I can rest assured! ……”

Zhao Gou never knew that his father, Zhao Ji, would attach so much importance to him, nor did he think that everything about himself was in his expectations! Today's Zhao Gou is immersed in the world of martial arts, practicing martial arts hard every day, and not hearing anything outside the window! Unconsciously, time is like an arrow, summer goes to autumn, and Zhao Gou has grown into nine years old. He has been living in Zhou Dong for three years.

Zhou Tong teaches according to his aptitude, the teaching method is exquisite, and the five of them are all capable of writing and martial arts. Zhao Gou has read a lot of books since he was a child, and his own skills are still there, and Zhou Tong can only give a little guidance, especially the handwriting he wrote, even Zhou Tong can't help but admire. Yue Fei and others' calligraphy and martial arts have also made great progress. Although Wang Gui and others have made great progress in martial arts, they are not as potential as Yue Fei and Zhao Gou in terms of literary talent, but they can also do it.

One day, it was the weather in March, the spring was warm and fragrant, the cold winter passed quietly, a warm breeze blew, everything recovered, and a vibrant scenery made people feel refreshed. Yue Fei, Zhao Gou and others practiced literature and martial arts in the courtyard, and they never fell behind in the slightest; Zhou Tong sat comfortably on the chair, his expression was a little tired, the whole person looked much older, and the wrinkles on his face were more profound.

"Knock knock! ……”

There was a knock on the door, which aroused the curiosity of the people, who lived here all year round, and rarely came and went, even their families never came here. However, this time, someone actually came to knock on the door, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes. Tang Huai stepped forward, opened the door, and was greeted by a little novice wearing a monk's robe, and said in surprise: "What are you doing here?" ”

"In the name of the master, the little monk came to deliver a letter and handed it over to Mr. Zhou." Xiao Shami said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and looked at Tang Huai, who was young and not as old as him, and was a little surprised in his heart: "Could it be that he is Mr. Zhou?" The master is past his prime, how can his friend be so young? Could it be that the person in front of you is a disciple of the master's friend? ”

When Tang Huai heard that he was looking for his master, he smiled and said: "Since I am looking for a family teacher, I don't know the name of the little master's respect for the teacher, so I can pass it on." ”

"Elder Zhiming!" The little novice hurriedly said his master's name.

Tang Huai was surprised, frowned, and thought for a long time before he was sure that he had never heard of this person. However, after Zhou Tong heard this, he quickly stood up, quickly came to the door, and said eagerly: "You are a disciple of Elder Zhiming?" Where is Elder Zhiming? ”

"The younger generation has seen Mr. Zhou!" Seeing that Zhou Dong, whose hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles, appeared in front of him, Xiao Shami hurriedly bowed respectfully and politely, and then took out a letter from his arms and said respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, this is the advice of the family teacher, saying that when I see you, I will send this letter to Mr. Zhou's hands, and you will know where it is when you see this letter." ”

Zhou Tong took the letter handed over by the little novice in a daze, and when he was stunned, the little novice also said goodbye and left. Zhou Tong looked at the letter in his hand excitedly, even the departure of the little novice was also sent by Tang Huaixiang. His eyes were deeply attracted by the handwriting on the envelope in his hand, and the familiar notes were immediately recognized as being written by his close friend Elder Zhiming himself.

He trembled with excitement, clenched the letter in his hand with trembling hands, and muttered, "That's right, this is Elder Zhiming's own letter, did he come here from Wutai Mountain?" If that's true, then I should really take the initiative to visit Elder Zhiming. ”
