The white-clothed scholar was still playing the flute, Gong Shenyi tiptoed over when he heard the gentle music, the man was still immersed in the music, and did not hear anyone behind him. Gong Shenyi has been standing behind her, "This song should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world." He said silently in his heart.

The moonlight is like flowing water, illuminating the classical and elegant courtyard, and the soft waves are pouring quietly, and after a song, the white-clothed scholar has turned around and inexplicably saw a middle-aged man in a long shirt standing behind him.

The white-clothed scholar was puzzled: "Sir?" ”

"Oh!" Gong Shenyi only realized that someone was talking, so she laughed at herself, "The old man is just one of the people who are claustrophobic in this courtyard, depressed, and can't go back to home." ”

Judging from the words of this middle-aged man, it seems to be, "Mr. Fei is an envoy of the Tang Kingdom?" ”

"Haha......" Gong Shenyi smiled bitterly, but while he was laughing, he suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness King Wei, the envoy of the Song Kingdom, was also so young, so he asked, "Brother Fei is the King of Wei of the Song Kingdom!" ”

The white-clothed scholar did not answer, but jumped off the stone, and then walked in front of Gong Shenyi.

Gong Shenyi realized that it was rude, and he vaguely guessed the identity of this person, so he bowed and said, "Xiaguan Gong Shenyi has seen King Wei Chitose!" ”

"Doctor Gong doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Dezhao saw that his identity was recognized, so he wanted to go up to help.

"His Royal Highness is really knowledgeable and talented, and the officials admire him."

Dr. Gong smiled.

The moonlight is still soft, has risen to the middle of the sky, the surrounding stars are still shining, the two have walked to the top of the courtyard in a pavilion, this is the highest position of the concierge, across the concierge, the stars in the distance is the bustling Xingwang Mansion, and not far away is the all-night, the lights are endless.

Zhao Dezhao looked at the palace towers, official mansions, and people's houses in the distance, and said to himself: "This Liu Gang will enjoy it, although the country is in a mess, but the capital of the country is still prosperous." ”

When Zhao Dezhao thought so, he was also looking at the one in the palace, and he was looking forward to the next good show.

Gong Shenyi sighed and said: "Your Highness, the people have been suffering for a long time, the crops are not strong, farming has dropped out, the Liu family has worked hard and lost money, built this high-platform building, expropriated violently, and brutally exerted pressure, which has shaken the country's foundation, and the country of this (Southern) Han Dynasty will die sooner or later." The Liu family did not respect the Great Song Dynasty as orthodox, how could the Song State tolerate it. ”

"Doctor Gong's words are true, Xiao Wang's envoy this time is also for the national prestige of my Great Song Dynasty, and now the Liu family has detained your envoys, and despised my Great Song Tianwei, Yang Feng Yin disobeys, how can I allow my Great Song Dynasty to allow it."

Gong Shenyi laughed at herself a little, I'm afraid that the Great Song official family has long wanted to destroy this Han Kingdom in their hearts, and after destroying the Han Dynasty, it will be ...... Gong Shenyi didn't dare to think about it, he raised his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Dezhao still looking at the inner city of the palace in the distance.

Under the moonlight, the palace is like a giant beast, prostrate on the ground, and the palace where it lives is decorated with beads and tortoiseshells, and I don't know what the fate of this palace will be in the future, but Zhao Dezhao knows that he has a bigger plan for this mission.

Suddenly, Zhao Dezhao turned his head and asked, "By the way, Doctor Gong, did the Han people do anything to you?" ”

Gong Shenyi smiled helplessly: "I was a bodhisattva with good food and drink, but I didn't embarrass the officials, but I was confined in the protocol and was not allowed to take a step." ”

"Although the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys, but there is no conflict between the Tang and Han Dynasty after all, and Liu Gang is just because the lord of your family detains the envoy because of the sentence 'do not serve the Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo', it can be seen that he did not take my Song and Tang lords to heart, Xiao Wang has been wandering around this city recently, but he also heard that the people talked about this Liu Gang's purchase of war elephants, and he is going to start a war with my Great Song Dynasty."

Gong Shenyi didn't speak, he listened quietly, it seems that sooner or later there will be a war between the Song and Han Dynasty, and now Liu Gang is making the punishment of boiling and stripping, swords, mountains and swords, or making sinners fight tigers and tigers. It is also burdensome and boring, and people are not happy, and the Han Kingdom will die sooner or later, but what about the Tang Kingdom.

Zhao Dezhao suddenly said in a low voice: "Doctor Gong, it is reported that Liu Yan, the ancestor of the Liu family, likes to read "Zhou Yi", and the fortune tellings are very complicated, and there is a monk who said according to the book that the person named Gong will destroy his (Southern) Han, and Doctor Gong and Gong Chengshu are both surnamed Gong, isn't it?" ”

"Your Highness, this is no joke!" Gong Shenyi waved his hand and said.

The moon is rising higher and higher, and it has risen to its highest point at this moment, and the two have been chatting in the pavilion for a long time, and the restaurants and tea shops in the distance are still brightly lit, and the lights in the palace are not inferior to the lights of the street market...... The wind was blowing gently, and there seemed to be a group of centaurs coming in the distance, lights and sticks......

In the pavilion, Zhao Dezhao and Gong Shenyi were still chatting.

……

The door of the concierge was opened, and a group of people suddenly broke in, carrying many lanterns in their hands, led by the young secretary of Honglu Temple who received that day.

Xiao Guizi has been in the corridor all the time, and when he saw someone coming, he asked long and short questions, and then he went to find Zhao Dezhao's people.

"Your Highness." Xiao Guizi shouted hurriedly, and suddenly saw someone in the gazebo in the distance, so he spread his legs and ran up.

"Your Highness—" The little nobleman came to the pavilion and patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, suddenly there is a summons to summon the chamberlain, and ask Your Highness to come forward to give the edict. ”

Gong Shenyi and Zhao Dezhao were chatting, and suddenly heard these words, and said: "Your Highness, it's so late, why do you still come to disturb, I don't know etiquette at all." ”

"Although the Liu family doesn't know etiquette, Xiao Wang wants to see what medicine they sell in their bones? Doctor Gong, farewell. ”

"Your Highness, go slowly!"

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly went down to the pavilion.

Inside the wings

"This Liu Gang really doesn't play cards according to the rules, so late at night, he sent the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple to summon him." The other Song envoys who had sent to Han complained that they were already asleep in the house, so they hurriedly changed into official clothes and came forward to greet them.

Zhao Dezhao was still dressed in white, he didn't change his clothes, but came forward directly.

"Your Highness, you're here." That Honglu Temple Shaoqing looked smiling, but he didn't have the slightest temper.

"Shaoqing is here tonight, could it be the head of your family......"

"Oh." The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple immediately took out the holy decree and read it out.

After reading it out, it probably meant that three days later, a palace banquet would be held in the palace of Shangchun Palace, and the envoys of the Song State would be officially received.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao said: "Why don't you see the envoys of the Tang Kingdom?" ”

When Shaoqing of Honglu Temple heard this, he said, "This official doesn't know. ”

"This king came this time, is to reconcile the Tang and Han contradictions, when the governor of the Tang State said in the letter of the two countries 'love like brothers, the same deed', why is this like this, if your lord does not meet the envoys of the Tang State, how can I do this peace thing?"

Honglu Temple Shaoqing's face was a little unhappy, but he was only stunned for a while, and then said again: "The lord of my family has not announced this matter. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Dezhao said in a long voice, "I don't know if the lord of your family doesn't listen to the heavens, or the lord of your family has a good face, the lord of the Tang State offended him before, so he wanted to detain the envoys of the Tang State and not let him return to the north, if it wasn't for the letter of the lord of the Tang State to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty would not have sent envoys to the Xingwang Mansion." ”

When the officials of Honglu Temple heard this, their faces were a little unkind, but he was not easy to refute, because Liu Gang was the emperor, and if he disobeyed Liu Gang's order, it would be a dead end. The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple shook his official robe, and then arched his hand and said: "The words have come to this, and the lower official will retire, if His Royal Highness really feels that it is inappropriate, he can personally speak to His Majesty in three days." Farewell to the lower officials! ”

Zhao Dezhao also knew the helplessness of that official, being such a courtier was really wronged.

"Slow delivery—"

……

On the second day, Zhao Dezhao went to the place where the two were arranged, the two had recovered their strength, and the weak boy brother was also lying on the bed, looking at Zhao Dezhao in front of him with a panicked expression, and said in a broken Chinese dialect, which enlivened the atmosphere in the room, and the servant of the son brother Lao Yun spoke fluently, and later Zhao Dezhao knew that this person was a martial artist, good at using swordsmanship, and could also forge swords, called Zhuo Jianyun.

As for his family Langjun, he called him Baolangjun.

Zhao Dezhao also vaguely knew some general information from the words of the down-and-out son, but Zhao Dezhao still felt that there was something important hidden in the words of the son, in Zhao Dezhao's impression, Annan is now independent, but Annan is now suffering from the rebellion of the twelve envoys, the Wu Dynasty is about to fall, the Ding Dynasty has not yet been established, and the twelve envoys are like the Jiedu envoys who have divided their hands.

Zhao Dezhao thought to himself, this slap-big Annan actually made so many separatist forces, this is also a continuation of the rebellion in the Tang Dynasty back then, Zhao Dezhao didn't know the identity of this son, but he secretly felt that this person might be a big man, and the restaurant was also dispatching people to investigate the matter in the past few days, but there is no news about the identity of this "Baolangjun".

Xingwangfu is located in the south, into June thunderstorms often occur, this in the afternoon, Zhao Dezhao just left the house, the sky suddenly thundered, and then the weather abruptly changed, bean rain has been poured down the eaves.

Xiao Guizi muttered on the side, his clothes were almost soaked, "Childe, this rain is coming too fast." The little noble man twisted his clothes with one hand, and the water on them came out.

There was no way, Zhao Dezhao hurriedly returned to the house again, and it lasted for about two quarters of an hour before the thunderstorm stopped.

In the past few days, Zhao Dezhao has been idle in the city every day, and then went to the restaurant a few times, and every time he returned to the concierge house, he brought some wine and food, and Liu Gang also sent some clothes and other daily necessities as usual.

Song and Han seem to be peaceful, but in fact they are surging in the dark, far away in the north, since the king of Wei sent an envoy to the Han state, the Song court is also paying attention to the exchanges between the two countries, according to Liu Gang's intentions, it is bound not to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty will not miss this opportunity.

At the Chongyuan Palace, Zhao Kuangyin's monarchs and ministers all looked south, hoping that the performance of King Wei's envoys would not disappoint them.

In the south, Chenzhou, Langzhou and other places are also guarding against the military actions of the Han State, and they are waiting for the soldiers to fight hard......
