Chapter 7: Dismounting
The sky is not beautiful, since about midnight, it will be dripping with a light rain, this Bianliang City is famous for the wind and sand all over the sky [the Tang and Song dynasties over-reclamation, resulting in soil erosion in the Central Plains is more serious], so the sky is not yet bright, the street is already muddy.

Early in the morning, Wu Kai came to the Donghua Gate with a light car, and handed over the palace entry voucher brought by Li Cunzhong yesterday to the hands of the Imperial Forest Army, but he was not immediately allowed to pass, but waited for about half an hour before entering the palace gate with an oil-paper umbrella under the leadership of Li Cunzhong, who arrived in a hurry.
Walking silently along the royal street for a while, seeing that there was no one left and right, and there was this rain and fog covering the sky, Li Cunzhong leaned closer to Wu Kai's side, and whispered: "Great monk, if you don't show some real skills in front of the housekeeper today, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this level - I have heard that Lin Lingsu, the real person of Shenxiao, took a few Taoist priests to guard the palace early in the morning, I am afraid that the person who comes is not good!" ”
Lin Lingsu?
This name Wu Kai is not unfamiliar, he had heard this name in his previous life, and knew that it was a Taoist priest who was quite favored by Song Huizong, and there were even many people who put the pot of the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty on him.
It's just that Wu Kai didn't care too much about this person before, and it wasn't until he came to Bianliang, Tokyo in person a few days ago that he knew how favored this girl was!
Let's put it this way, he is not only called the 'Taoist Two Mansions' by the people [the highest authority organ in the Northern Song Dynasty is the Two Mansions and Three Divisions, of which the two mansions refer to the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, and the commonly known Zaifu], which means that his status is on par with the Prime Minister, and even exceeds it in some places - at least the Prime Minister will not blatantly go to compete with the crown prince of the current dynasty!
[By the way, this 'supernumerary prime minister' under Song Huizong is really not old or young, Tong Guan is called 'Xiang Xiang', Liang Shicheng is called 'Hidden Phase', this Lin Lingsu is 'Taoist Two Mansions', and even the prostitute Li Shishi is also considered to be no less than the prime minister - many people go to her to confess in order to seek officials, which is also the reason why Song Jiang wanted to recruit An and find where Master Li was. 】
Tut~
I didn't expect that after just a few days in the capital, I would have to face this Zixiao real person head-on.
However, Wu Kai was not much afraid, but was a little eager to try - he didn't believe that he, a traverser who really grasped the trajectory of historical development, would lose to others in pretending to be a ghost!
After walking in the rain for about seven or eight minutes, Wu Kai thought that he should see Song Huizong when he went in, but when he went in, he saw that all of them were well-dressed and beast-civil and military officials with beasts embroidered on their clothes.
Among them, most of the people in green robes [below the fifth grade], and occasionally one or two people wearing red official uniforms are surrounded like stars holding the moon.
"Great monk, you wait here, go to the house to make a sound, and see when it is convenient for the official family to see you." Li Cunzhong led Wu Kai to a corner, and ordered the deacon's little eunuch to bring a pot of tea, and left in a hurry through the back door.
As soon as he left, Wu Kai suddenly became the focus of the hall, and this room full of officials suddenly jumped out with a bald head, no matter how you look at it, it is a little dazzling - if it is replaced by a Taoist priest, it is normal.
There are also a few well-informed people inside, pointing fingers, and talking about the 'Wukong Monk' being summoned by Song Huizong as an exception, and everyone became more and more curious, but curiosity is curiosity, onlookers are onlookers, but no one stepped forward to talk to Wu Kai.
Wu Kai has been pampered in the past few months, how has he ever been watched in public?
When he landed in his heart, he was a little unhappy, but now he is playing a high-ranking monk, so he can't scold others with his eyebrows twisted and stared, right?
I had no choice but to close my eyes and pretend to meditate, out of sight and out of mind.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the surroundings fell silent, and the civil and military officials who were talking noisily disappeared in an instant.
Wu Kai was a little puzzled, and then he heard someone sneer viciously: "Bald donkey! You're going to enjoy it a lot, and you're going to take a nap in the inner courtyard of the palace! ”
Just listening to this voice, you know that the person who came is not good, and when you open your eyes and see that robe, you will be more sure what is going on - Lin Lingsu is really an urgent person, and he can't wait for himself to see Song Huizong, so he starts to start.
Of course, the Taoist priest who came here was naturally not Lin Lingsu himself, but just three young Taoist priests.
Although the leader has a cold eyebrow, he is actually a handsome guy with a face like Fu Fan and a star, he saw Wu Kai looking himself up and down, snorted, approached, stretched out his hand on the table, and poured a cup of tea that was half cold and not hot on his shoes.
"Oops~ Senior brother!"
Another little monk immediately pointed at Wu Kai and shouted, "You bald donkey is so rude, how dare you stain Senior Brother Xu Xuan's boots with tea?" You must know that this is a royal gift, and it was sewn by the nobles in the palace themselves! ”
"That's it, this bald donkey is simply rebellious!"
"Yes, the crime deserves to be put to death!"
The other two little Taoist priests took turns to fight, only treating Wu Kai as if they were heinous, completely ignoring the fact that he didn't move at all except for his eyeballs.
However, this Lin Lingsu is really favored, and even the boots on the apprentice's feet are also rewarded by the palace - looking at the needle and foot craftsmanship, it is not very good, maybe it is really the handiwork of which concubine!
Wu Kai took his eyes off the boots and stared at the little Taoist Xu Xuan a few times [In the Song Dynasty, except for a few Taoist sects, most Taoist priests use their real names, and only those with a certain status add honorific titles], and sighed helplessly: "I am here to meet the saint today." ”
"I don't care if you're here to face the saint!"
Xu Xuan sneered disdainfully, pointed to the boots on his feet and said, "This pair of boots of the Dao Master is a gift from the Dao Monarch Sect Master!" Now that you are dirty, how can you compensate for it?! ”
"This royal gift, that is, this bald donkey sold a body of cheap meat, and I am afraid that I can't afford to pay it back!"
"Senior brother, I think his monk's robe is okay, why don't you take it off first and make an addition?"
The other two little Taoist priests still praised me one by one, and looked at Wu Kai with four eyes condescendingly, three points of contempt and seven points of banter.
"Hey, why don't you understand? Looks like I'm going to have to explain it to you! “
Wu Kai sighed again, just when the little Taoist priests thought he was going to start talking, he suddenly grabbed the teapot on the side, rounded it, and slapped it directly on Xu Xuan's face, and immediately smashed ten thousand peach blossoms!
"Ahh
Xu Xuan screamed and staggered backwards, but before he could go far with his legs, he was grabbed by Wu Kai's hair and pulled back to his side!
"Senior brother?!"
"Senior Brother Xu Xuan!"
changed in a hurry, and when the two little Taoists reacted, Xu Xuan had already been pulled by Wu Kai, and the two of them were in a hurry, so they wanted to pounce on them to save people.
"Don't move!"
Aiming at Xu Xuan's neck with the broken porcelain piece attached to the handle of the teapot, Wu Kai was fine, and smiled indifferently: "Stand up honestly, otherwise you will be splashed with blood, but don't blame the poor monk for being unpredictable." ”
