Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, had already disembarked at the port near Jinling, and after Zhao Dezhao got off the ship at this moment, he saw the mountains and rivers of Jinling, and he sighed in his heart.

On the top of the port, there were already Tang officials at the end of the Wangjiang Pavilion to greet them, Zhao Dezhao, Dong Zhongyan and others got off the boat one after another, and the scarlet clothes and Tsing Yi officials in the Wangjiang Pavilion saw that the ships of the Song envoys arrived at the dock, and they immediately came out to greet them.

Among the officials of the Tang State, the first person who came out to greet him was a young man wearing a purple robe with gold threads, about twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing a golden silk crown and a goldfish bag around his waist, looking at this line of system, it seemed to be a prince of the Tang Kingdom, Zhao Dezhao thought so, and saw this young man Shi Shiran walked up to him and arched his hand: "Xiao Wang Li Congshan has seen the envoys of the Kingdom of Shang, and the presence of the envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven is an honor for me to visit the Tang Kingdom. ”

It turned out to be Li Congshan, the younger brother of Tang Lord Li Yu, I saw that this young man was indeed quite standard, but he was much better looking than Li Yu, and Zhao Dezhao's eyes had been looking at Li Congshan's mountain.

Zhao Dezhao replied with a smile, "It turned out to be King Zheng Chitose, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Zheng Wang Li Congshan was followed by several officials, and several of them also raised their heads together to look at Zhao Dezhao, the angel of the Song Kingdom, and heard that the King of Wei is now seventeen years old. These officials saw that King Wei looked immature, but he was calm and calm in his gestures, and he had already compared Zheng Wang Li Congshan in an instant, and the taste in his heart was also very complicated.

Han Xizai naturally knew Zhao Dezhao, but he looked at Zhao Dezhao with kind eyes, and Zhao Dezhao also looked at Han Xizai.

But on the other side, Huangfu Jixun's expression was very indifferent and ruthless, a cold color, he and Zhao Kuangyin's father-killing hatred is not the same as the sky, and now the son of the father-killing father is standing in front of him, what kind of face will anyone have, so even the entire Song State envoys and the entire Song State are very hateful, he did not do any respectful color at this time, but stood behind, glaring at Zhao Dezhao and other Song State envoys viciously.

When Zhao Dezhao saw this person, he was wearing the clothes of a military attaché, but he had a cold expression, as if his eyes were not good, and he also wanted to know who this person was, so he leaned over and asked King Zheng Li Congshan: "King Zheng, who is this person?" ”

Following the direction pointed by Zhao Dezhao, Li Congshan looked up and saw that this military attache was Huangfu Jixun, he raised his head and immediately said: "General Huangfu, this is the Wei King Chitose of the Song Kingdom, don't come over and pay a visit." ”

Huangfu Jixun snorted coldly, and when he saw the other civil officials around him with puzzled looks, he approached him as if procrastinating, and hurriedly saluted and said quickly: "Huangfu Jixun has seen the envoy. ”

Zheng Wang Li Congshan saw that Huangfu Jixun stepped forward and also saluted, but he didn't blame, but he didn't pay attention, but continued: "Song envoy this way!" ”

Han Xizai on the side also said: "Your envoy has been tired all the way, it is really hard, the protocol has prepared a place to stay, and please go and rest!" ”

The carriage and horses have been prepared, Zhao Dezhao and others got on the carriage and horses, and the group went towards the concierge courtyard, to the gate of Jinling City, the city gate has begun martial law, and the people on the road are also surrounded on both sides, and the road is opened by the forbidden army, which shows that Li Yu's arrangement is appropriate.

Zhao Dezhao lifted the curtain door, saw that the majestic city wall was close in front of him, a blue stone road surface stretched out, on the city wall behind the urn city, there was a gatehouse, there were hidden soldiers under the city wall on both sides of the gatehouse, and there were many soldiers standing in the hidden soldier hole, I don't know that in the future war, these soldiers can be of great use, at the same time he is also observing other changes in Jinling City.

Jinling Mansion City, is now the Jiangning Mansion of the Tang Kingdom, and now it is the capital of the (South) Tang Dynasty, leaning on the Yuhuatai in front, pillowing the Jilong Mountain in the back, looking at Zhongshan in the east, and taking the Stone City in the west. The circumference of the city is twenty-five miles and forty-four steps, the upper width is two zhang and five feet, the lower is three zhang and five feet, and the height is two zhang and five feet.

Zhao Dezhao and others entered from the south gate of the south of the city, and after the south gate, they saw that there were shops on both sides of the street, and the shops were hung with wooden signs and cloth curtains, and the people on both sides of the street were already standing on both sides, most of them were dressed plainly, watching the carriages and horses of the envoys of the Song State driving over, some people in the crowd were pointing and pointing, and some people were looking at the envoys of the Song State expressionlessly, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao's eyes had already seen several people in Chenyuan in the crowd, and there was also a young man beside Chenyuan, he was dressed in plain clothes, one hand was hanging around his neck, his hand was wrapped in thick gauze, and he was wearing a gauze hat on his head.

In the crowd, the young man standing beside Chen Yuan suddenly whispered to Chen Yuan beside him: "Brother Chen Yuan, this is the envoy of the Song State, that young man is the Wei King Chitose of the Song State, and he is really young and extraordinary!" ”

This young man is Fan Ruoshui, he was stunned by Zhao Dezhao's sharp gaze, so he turned his face to Chen Yuandao, but he didn't know that Chen Yuan was Zhao Dezhao's cronies.

Chen Yuan stood aside and didn't say anything, and Fan Ruoshui had to talk to himself alone.

……

Horse-drawn carriages pass by...... Finally came to the Tang State is located in the Qinhuai River of the Protocol House, and not far from the Council House is the Imperial Palace, the scale of which is naturally needless to say, showing the power and wealth of the country in the early Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Dezhao and others also got off the carriage and saw that the door of the house built near the water was written with three big characters "Protocol Courtyard", and next to the Protocol House was the Qinhuai River.

Qinhuai River, known as Longzangpu in ancient times, called Huaishui in the Han Dynasty, renamed Qinhuai after the Tang Dynasty, originated from the two rivers of Jurong and Lishui in the upper reaches, flowed through the city of Jinling from west to east. The house of the concierge courtyard is very elegant and exquisitely decorated, carved beams and painted buildings, and the willows and flowers are planted next to the courtyard, which can be described as a large mansion.

There were also servants standing at the door waiting for Tsing Yi, and they stepped forward to carry the luggage and other things on the carriage and horses to the courtyard, Zhao Dezhao and others followed Zheng Wang Li Congshan to walk behind, Li Congshan introduced while walking, and ordered one by one, "If your envoy has any requests, you can mention some and order the servants on the left and right!" King Chitose of Wei can rest in the protocol house first, and my lord will set up a banquet to invite Chitose to see Chitose another day. "King Zheng Li Congshan said.

"King Zheng is polite, Xiao Wang will order if he has something, I heard that this Jinling City is full of flowers, and the night view of Qinhuai is even more beautiful, this time Xiao Wang wants to see the beautiful scenery of Jinling." This time when I came to the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the visit, I naturally had to understand the political armament, economy, and people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, a discordant voice came, "If Chitose is traveling, you can take the left and right servants and the soldiers of the forbidden army on patrol to protect Chitose or so, it's not appropriate to go out casually, and this Jinling City is not peaceful!" This person was Huangfu Jixun, and there was a slight smile on his face.

Zhao Dezhao naturally knew about the affairs between Huangfu Jixun and his father, and he had no good impression of Huangfu Jixun, this person was just favored by Li Jing by relying on his father's merits, and Huangfu Jixun's military talent was not very good.

However, Zhao Dezhao said thoughtfully: "How can Jinling City not be peaceful, isn't General Huangfu the general who guards the capital to patrol the defense, isn't it your negligence, general." Zhao Dezhao said this, saying that the unevenness of Jinling City was that Huangfu Jixun's management of the army was unfavorable, and it was also a naked* slap in the face to Huangfu Jixun.

At this moment, Huangfu Jixun's face was white and blue for a while, the other party was the King of Wei of the Song Kingdom, he was not good at being angry in public, but he didn't expect a seventeen-year-old doll to be sharp and sharp now, so he couldn't say anything to refute, Huangfu Jixun just stared at him dryly, snorted coldly, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart when he would give you a lesson, this is the Tang Kingdom, not the Song Kingdom! When Huangfu Jixun thought about this, he began to smile darkly.

The atmosphere present suddenly became cold and embarrassing, Zheng Wang Li Congshan also smiled bitterly in his heart, his face was a little unnatural, at this time Han Xizai arched his hand and said: "Is King Wei Chitose satisfied?" ”

"Not bad!" When Zhao Dezhao saw Han Xizai say this, he also wanted to ease the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene.

After waiting for a while, the officials of the Tang State left the protocol house.

And it was getting late, after Zhao Dezhao and the others had dinner, they wanted to go out to the courtyard in Jinling City to meet Yang Chang and Chenyuan, and after dinner, a person suddenly appeared in the concierge courtyard, and this person was Gong Shenyi in the matter.

Zhao Dezhao didn't expect to see him, and at this moment Gong Shenyi bowed his hand and said: "Today, Your Majesty asked the lower officials to do things, and I didn't welcome a thousand years old, I'm really sorry!" ”

"Master doesn't have to be like this if he has something, why did Master come here tonight?"

"Chitose still remember what the lower official said in Chenzhou, I don't know if Chitose is free at noon tomorrow, please go to the lower official's mansion for a while!"

Zhao Dezhao suddenly laughed and said, "Since the master is invited, I will definitely go to the master at noon tomorrow." ”

Gong Shenyi patted his head and said, "Before noon tomorrow, the lower officials will send servants from the palace to disturb Chitose." Gong Shenyi left after speaking.

……

The sky is gradually getting into twilight, and on the side of the Qinhuai River next to the protocol, the lights have all been lit up, Zhao Dezhao and Xiao Guizi walked in the alley by the Qinhuai River, due to the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, and the south of the Yangtze River is relatively calm, coupled with the superior natural conditions of the south of the Yangtze River, rich in products, rich in people, both sides of the Qinhuai River are more and more prosperous.

At this moment, both sides of the Qinhuai River are full of lights and wine, full of brilliance, and the current Kaifeng City has to fight, both sides of the Qinhuai River are restaurants and teahouses, there are many Chu Pavilions, there are also flower boats on the river surface one after another, the bow of the boat faintly heard the sound of the piano, noisy cut miscellaneous, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate, but also the wind and snow and the moon, ten zhang soft red, and behind Zhao Dezhao also followed a few Tang State guards, one to protect, the other to monitor.

Watching the literati and chanting poems against each other, the peddlers and pawns hawking along the streets, and listening to the singers of the Qinglou scratching their heads and making gestures...... Zhao Dezhao walked and walked, and he had come to an alley, which was the mouth of Wuyi Alley.

From the dark alley, a boy staggered over, in the night, this person was wearing a plain round-necked robe, and then accidentally bumped into Zhao Dezhao, who was walking, and suddenly threw himself into Zhao Dezhao's arms.

Zhao Dezhao was helpless, and Xiao Guizi also stared at His Royal Highness with a pair of eyes incredulously, he didn't expect His Highness to have such an adventure, but the other party was a man, Xiao Guizi was stunned.

Zhao Dezhao glared at Xiao Guizi angrily, and at this time, when Zhao Dezhao was about to hand over this person to Xiao Guizi, he suddenly found that there was a hole under this person's earlobe, could it be ...... Although this man smelled of alcohol, there was a faint smell of fat powder on his body, and then he looked at the man's chest...... Zhao Dezhao keenly discovered that this person was a woman, hehe, it turned out to be a woman dressed as a man, presumably drunk. It's just that it's so late, and he's embarrassed to put this person on the street casually, there are a lot of gangsters on the street.

This man looked drunk, and it seemed that he had to find an inn for her...... Next, Zhao Dezhao helped the woman to a "swallow inn" by the Qinhuai River, paid the money, and helped the person upstairs.

After the settlement was completed, he instructed a small servant in an inn to take care of it, and then Zhao Dezhao and the others went to Chenyuan.
