Chapter 492: The Old Man Gets Old
Chapter 492: The people of the old place are getting old
A turmoil seems to have passed, but Gong Zhan has left a shadow in his heart, he knows the current official family too well. Although his ability to interpret people's hearts is not as good as that junior brother Dongfang Jin, it is not difficult to see through today's official family. Today's officials see profit and forget righteousness, do big things and cherish their lives, seemingly elegant, but in fact narrow-minded, today's things, the officials may not mention, but there is actually a trace of unhappiness in their hearts, this unhappiness, is bound to continue to expand.
When you like someone, you find all the strengths, and when you hate someone, you find the weaknesses. The official family already has a displeasure, and this displeasure is hidden very deeply, I am afraid that even he does not know.
The unhappiness caused by Xiao Zhiyun did not affect the progress of the entire banquet, Zhao Guanjia is an elegant person, and on the banquet, singing and dancing are naturally indispensable. Roughly speaking, this oracle is two marriages. The first is to marry Emperor Maode Zhao Fujin to Jin Shilong, the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and the wedding date will be placed next year. The second thing, Lin Dezong Ji Chai can marry the crown prince Zhao Huan, and the wedding date is scheduled for August 15 next year.
Zhao Fujin was not surprised to marry Jin Shilong, but Chai Keyan was always a little surprised when he married Zhao Huan. Although he had expected Chai Keyan to enter the East Palace, when it really happened, he was still surprised, because in his heart, Zhao Yougong felt that Zhao Huan was not worthy of Chai Keyan, and Chai Keyan must not look down on Zhao Huan.
The official family's will has been issued, and it can be clearly seen that Chai Keyan has a trace of bitterness on the corner of her mouth, and she has long known about it. I just can't change it. Children of the clan. Enviable. But how can ordinary people understand the sorrow of the children of the clan? I don't know who said that behind the brilliance is dirty, and behind the glory is misery. In this world, everyone has their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and maybe your sorrow is her joy.
Chai Keyan's shoulders trembled slightly, but all her thoughts were hidden under the luxurious palace clothes, and she slowly stepped out of the queue and bowed gently. "Thank you for the grace of the official family!"
This is Chai Keyan's fate, no matter how good and heroic she is, she still can't change her fate, or she can't change the fate of the Chai clan. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the royal Zhao family has given the Chai family glory and wealth, but at the same time, the sons and daughters of the Chai family must live under the noses of the Zhao family for generations. Chai Keyan doesn't look down on Zhao Huan, if he can let himself choose, there are a thousand and ten thousand reasons. She would not choose Zhao Huan to be her man, but fate is like this. Unable to fight. She has belonged to the government since she was born, for these reasons, she has long lost herself, can she resist? Rebellion, there is only one consequence, that is, rebellion, the descendants of the Chai family, and the destruction of the nine clans.
That thank you for the grace of the official family, it is really ironic, listening to that sentence, Zhu Lian has a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox, perhaps, only she can best understand Chai Keyan's thoughts. After all, she was also very close to the position of the crown princess.
When everyone turned their attention to Chai Keyan, Zhao Yougong withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Fujin with a lonely face. Hehe, that fourth sister, no matter how calm she looks, she still reveals her inner world in the end. It can be seen that she is afraid of it. Suddenly, Zhao Yougong saw two hot gazes, which were tightly locked on Zhao Fujin, as if they were going to swallow this angelic girl into his stomach.
Wanyan Zongwang, this Jurchen hero, hasn't he forgotten the fourth sister? Maybe some people think that Wanyan Zongwang is wishful thinking, but Zhao Yougong doesn't think so, because in some ways, he is very similar to Wanyan Zongwang. If you want to get something, you must get it, if you really can't get it, it is ruined, and you will not let your beloved things fall into the hands of others.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the beautiful woman in the distance, but Zhao Fujin only felt Zhao Yougong's gaze, she was in a state of confusion, where did she know that there was a Jurchen named Wanyan Zongwang. Seeing the beautiful woman's eyebrows frowning, Wanyan Zongwang secretly swore that this woman was his, and one day, he Wanyan Zongwang would lead the iron hoof south and take this woman for himself.
The banquet was over, no one stayed for a while, and the next day Zhao Ji held a rare court meeting, at which the discussion was nothing more than how to exterminate the bandits. In this regard, Zhao Yougong was indifferent, waiting for the ministers to be noisy, he went out and arched his hand to the west, and shouted, "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to play." The old general Liu Zhongwu of the first national army resisted the Western Xia, bravely killed the enemy, and made great achievements for my Great Song Dynasty. I implore Your Majesty to return the fairness of General Liu, and don't let the border soldiers chill. ”
Zhao Yougong's words won the support of many generals, and everyone knew what happened to Liu Zhongwu back then. Isn't it a joke to say that Liu Zhongwu escaped from the battle? It's just that Liu Zhongwu's crime of escaping was decided by the official family himself, so no one dared to go up to the book to correct Liu Zhongwu's name, after all, if the emperor swallowed back what he said, he would be hated. However, Zhao Yougong is not afraid, because he is not a person who lives by looking at Zhao Ji's face, and there are too many things that have offended Zhao Ji, and it is not bad for this kind of bad thing. Speaking of this matter in the main hall today, one is to win the approval of some good ministers and fierce generals, and the other is to show his attitude. Liu Zhongwu's matter, the official family does not give a correct name, then he Zhao will do it himself.
Zhao Ji hated this nephew so much, Liu Zhongwu had been dead for so long, and he used this to disgust people, which was really hateful. But Zhao Ji can't help but come down and correct Liu Zhongwu's name, and he can more or less win a lot of praise, since he is going to be embarrassed, why should he leave the good name of Liu Zhongwu to Zhao Yougong?
After thinking about it, Zhao Ji said slowly, "Liu Zhongwu is loyal to the country and moves forward bravely, and the crime of escaping from the battle back then was purely framed by others. Now the name of Liu Zhongwu is restored, and Liu Zhongwu is posthumously appointed as the envoy of the Qinzhou Festival, and the town is sealed in the west, and he is retired with the country, and the children of the Liu family can choose one person to attack the post of commander of the national army. This matter will be written by Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and it will be conveyed to the states tomorrow! ”
Zhao Ji is so refreshing, naturally he will not just let Zhao Yougong take the benefits, and the title of the town is still hereditary, which can be described as a great grace. Zhao Ji did this, his purpose was not to buy people's hearts? But Liu Jian can be bought with all these painstaking efforts?
Too lazy to worry about Zhao Ji, Zhao Yougong arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Liu Zhongwu's matter. Zhao Ji personally promised. Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to slack off. and the second went out into the states. After Liu Kuang, who was far away in Fengzhou, got the letter, he didn't have much joy, if His Royal Highness forced him, how could the current official family be so kind? Now, I'm afraid that the official family has long forgotten who Liu Zhongwu is, but this hereditary town is still good, the eldest brother has been in charge for many years, and there is a knighthood. Somewhat comforting.
Since the Great Dynasty Meeting, Zhao Yougong has never entered the palace again, and he has always wondered why he didn't see Concubine Liu in Genyue Garden that day? That bewitching woman is not worrying at all.
In February, the spring breeze is like scissors, and there are even small boats floating on the water. The beauty of Bianliang is like a painting in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have been back for two days, and only today I have the heart to visit the familiar Bianliang City. A light yellow brocade robe with a jeweled jade belt around his waist. Holding a folding fan, Zhao Yougong turned back into that good son. At this time. Who would have thought that this handsome son would be a decisive man who would conquer the world?
In three years, the ancient Bianliang has not changed much, Bianhe Street is still the same, the prosperity is still the same, and what has changed is the people who used to be. Walking past the Deyue Tower, looking up, those sisters were shaking their champas, soliciting passing guests. Hey, he hasn't been back for three years, and there aren't many people in this building who know him. However, Zhao Yougong is no longer the self he was three years ago, there is no Master Li in the Deyue Building, there is no Yurou, and he has lost his attraction to him, saying hello to a few sisters, putting on a spring breeze smile, causing several girls to scream.
In the past three years, many people have changed, and even Xiao Ah Jiu, who has always been by her side, has become a big girl. Back then, Ah Jiu was as thin as a hemp stick, his figure was not developed, and his chest looked like a washboard. Now she is slim, her chest is bulging, her thin pink lips, and her inky willow eyebrows, she has come out like a flower, but what has not changed is that she has changed into a large gray sleeved robe, and she still wears the broken and crooked hat.
When I traveled today, I only led a Ah Jiu, and I don't know how many people were following in the distance. Zhao Yougong wants to feel the past days, there is a Ah Jiu behind him, if there is a mastiff dog, then there will be nothing missing. It's a pity that Da Zhuang died of old age in the Qin Palace.
Walking through the Fanglou, Zhao Yougong was surprised that the chestnut stall was still there. Seeing the couple selling chestnuts, Zhao Yougong patted Ah Jiu on the shoulder, Xiao Ah Jiu was smart and clever, and soon thought of the scene of selling chestnuts with His Royal Highness back then. At that time, the two of them didn't know the price of chestnuts, they didn't know how to read the scales, and they made a lot of jokes.
Ah Jiu smiled, with thin red lips, and the two little tiger teeth were very pleasant. Zhao Yougong stretched out his hand and pinched Ah Jiu's face, and said with a little emotion, "Hey, the yellow-haired girl has grown up, and it's time to get married." ”
When the words fell, I saw Ah Jiu's smile disappear in an instant, and the small mouth was high.
Haha, it's really interesting, nothing to tease Ah Jiu, a great joy in life, open the folding fan, take a step, and walk gently along the Bianliang River, Ah Jiu stomped his feet, pouted and followed.
More than a dozen men in green shirts walked on Bianhe Street, they followed closely, watching Zhao Xiaojun King slowly walk past Deyue Tower and Caifang Building, a guy couldn't help but wonder, "Evil Gate, Your Highness doesn't go to Deyue Tower, doesn't go to Caifang Building, and doesn't buy things, where is this going, go further, but cross the Queqiao Bridge, and go to the edge of the Cai River." ”
Yang Zaixing thought for a while, and seemed to have guessed where Zhao Yougong went, he stretched out his hand and patted the person who spoke, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, follow with peace of mind, although no one dares to be unfavorable to His Highness, but it's better to be careful." ”
"Hey, the little one is too talkative, that's what General Yang said!" The talkative man didn't dare to refute, so he could only laugh.
At the junction of the Cai River and the Bianhe River, there is a small bridge, and now in early spring, it is warm, and there are swimming fish playing in the clear water. Ah Jiu followed closely beside Zhao Yougong, flicked his right hand around, and after looking at it for a while, Zhao Yougong understood what Ah Jiu meant, and dared to love Jiu girl to fish, "Come on, this king doesn't have the leisure to accompany you to fish, if you like it, go to the second lady, take a few more people, and go to the south of the Cai River, which is a good place for fishing." ”
Hearing Zhao Yougong's words, Ah Jiu was obviously extremely disappointed, pouting, and looking at his toes sullenly, as if he was about to cry. Zhao Yougong had already experienced Ah Jiu's ability to change his face, and he resolutely didn't fall for her, a pair of master and servant walked slowly, and soon came to a small wooden bridge. In early spring, the opposite side of the wooden bridge is full of greenery, and a few weeping willows have already revealed new stamens, standing slightly quietly, and you can smell the faint smell of grass.
An elegant and delicate courtyard, there are a few naughty children playing in front of the chai gate, they are holding kites in their hands, thinking about something, and some are lying on the grass to catch something.
What happened to the owner of the courtyard? No one can understand how deeply it hurt her back then, because there is only one Master Li in the world.
The spring breeze was blowing, Ah Jiu gently pushed Zhao Yougong's waist, as if urging him to hurry over, Zhao Yougong closed the folding fan and gently knocked Ah Jiu's little crooked, "Dead girl, you are in a hurry." ”
Ah Jiu grinned, her lips were red and her teeth were white, this lively girl, has she always hidden another soul in her heart?
The wind doesn't stop, life goes on, and the worry can't be broken! (To be continued......)
