At the banquet with a cold atmosphere, no one spoke anymore, Li Fu sighed and sat back in his place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Guangyi had the heart to comfort him, but thinking of the plan in his heart, he still held back.

Returning to the dragon chair and sitting down, Zhao Guangyi said: "Such a good painting, how can there be no poems to match, Zhao Gu, you can go and write a poem." ”

Zhao Gu stood up from his seat and said, "Yes." ”

Then, Zhao Gu walked to the desk, picked up the brush and wrote fourteen thin gold characters.

"Good word!" The onlookers exclaimed.

Immediately, someone read out Zhao Gu's poems.

"If a country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good fortune and evil?"

The audience was shocked, this poem from the famous minister Lin Zexu of the late Qing Dynasty once again refreshed the world view of all the high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

Who dares to say that there are no good sentences after the Tang Dynasty, the moral style of this poem is no worse than that of Li Bai Du Fu!

"Good, good words, good poems, good paintings, really good! I have a lot of talented people in the Song Dynasty, and this is a sign of prosperity! Zhao Guangyi stroked his palms and laughed.

Zhao Gu rolled his eyes in his heart, there were so many prosperous eras in Chinese history, but the current Great Song Dynasty still deserves this name, this old guy won't feel invincible in the world after recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, right?

But on the face, Zhao Gu naturally nodded, and then retreated on the grounds that the amount of alcohol was not good.

The banquet then changed, from picking up the wind for Zhao Gu and Li Fu to praising Zhao Guangyi vigorously by the ministers, what an emperor through the ages, comparable to the three emperors and five emperors, etc., etc., etc., extremely flattering.

Don't doubt that although the style of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty is very admirable, and some people can even be described as stubborn, they are still indispensable to the people who slap the horse, they dare to say anything for the sake of the upper position, and they are never afraid of disgusting others.

But Zhao Guangyi didn't feel disgusted, he liked to listen to other people's flattery the most, the better others praised him, the happier he was, and even added two good officials on the spot.

Approaching dusk, this banquet with a changed taste finally ended, the drunk Zhao Guangyi was carried down by the eunuchs, and the ministers went back to their homes in a leisurely manner.

Zhao Gu was naturally no exception and returned to the county mansion.

Su Xiaocheng and the others had long known that Zhao Gu was back, so as soon as Zhao Gu came back, they greeted them, except for the unnatural expression of the Cheshire Lord, all the women of Zhao Gu were very happy.

hugged the girls one by one, Zhao Gu picked up Sydney and Fan Zhongyan, and the group went into the backyard.

After having dinner with everyone, Zhao Gu went back to the attic accompanied by the women.

This time the Liao State and his party, although the world is much shorter than the Northern Expedition, but the thrill is no less than the death of Shuozhou City, but the number of thrills is better than that time, and Su Xiaocheng, Liu Qiaoqiao, Shangguan Sisi, and the four daughters of Cheshire Lord, Zhao Gu actually fell asleep slowly.

The four women glanced at each other, all of them were a little heartbroken, Liu Qiaoqiao pulled Shangguan Sisi and then went out, while Su Xiaocheng kept guarding his bedside, holding his hand and looking at him gently.

The Lord of Cheshire did not leave either, and sat at the table looking at him, sometimes with a sad face, sometimes with a smile like a flower, and did not know what he was thinking.

When he woke up, it was noon on the second day, and Zhao Gu habitually wanted to stretch, but found that his right hand was pressed by something.

Zhao Gu opened his eyes and saw Su Xiaocheng falling asleep on the edge of the bed with his clothes in his clothes, and at the table farther away, the Lord of Cheshire was also lying on the table and falling asleep.

Smiling slightly, Zhao Gu was about to carry Su Xiaocheng to bed and sleep well, not wanting to wake her up all at once.

"You're awake." Su Xiaocheng said with a smile.

As soon as he spoke, the Lord of Cheshire also woke up, and the three of them washed up one after another and went out for lunch.

After lunch, Zhao Gu gathered everyone together again, and even Ergouzi, Li Danran, and Hao Baikong also called over.

Zhao Gu sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "From today onwards, I am afraid that I will have to be idle at home for a long time in the future, what should I do in the future?" What do you recommend? ”

Lord Cheshire was the first to ask, "Why are you at home, is it because I ...... it?" ”

Zhao Gu held her jade hand in the palm of her hand, shook her head and smiled: "Don't think about it, it's because after signing the letter of state with the Liao State this time, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will not have any major events in the past one or two years, and the imperial court will naturally not need me." ”

Hearing him say this, the Cheshire Lord became more and more unconvinced, and said: "I heard that the national letter said that the Liao Kingdom sent troops to help the Great Song Dynasty attack Western Xia, and with the emperor's style of acting, I am afraid that Western Xia will be attacked in the near future, right?" Why do you say it's not a big deal? ”

"Why are you so smart?"

Zhao Gu scratched her palm, and finally sighed lightly: "Although I have never pursued any fame and fortune, it makes no sense that I will go on an envoy with Li Fu, he will be promoted to a knighthood, but I have only added the title of two scholars, which is obviously because the emperor does not want me to be too high-profile, so I decided to be silent for a few years." ”

Everyone suddenly said, yes, this time to the Liao State, although Zhao Gu and Li Fu are not subordinate, but it is obvious that Zhao Gu is the mainstay, but Li Fu has added the title of prince and young master, and Guanwen Pavilion University Scholar, while Zhao Gu has only added the name of two university scholars, which is obviously deliberately done by Zhao Guangyi.

Thinking about it, if Zhao Gu also added the title of prince and young master equivalent to the second rank official, then there are less than ten people left in the Great Song Dynasty who have a bigger official position than him, which is obviously what Zhao Guangyi does not want to see, after all, he is too young.

And if Zhao Gu continues to do things for the imperial court and makes many miraculous achievements, his official position will come to an end sooner or later, and it will be dangerous at that time.

Zhao Guangyi must be very clear about this, so even if Zhao Gu wants to serve the imperial court, I am afraid that he will not agree.

Therefore, Zhao Gu might as well withdraw from his own interest and hide his merit and fame.

"The court of the Great Song Dynasty is really ......." The second dog is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is about to complain immediately.

Zhao Gu glared at him: "Hugh is talking nonsense, don't you want to die?" ”

Ergouzi knew that he was speechless, and immediately closed his mouth, and Master Li then said: "I'm afraid that Prime Minister Zhao won't let go of you, big brother, I think he really hopes that big brother you are on the cusp." ”

Zhao Gu smiled: "It's up to him, not to mention that I've done everything he wants me to do, even if I don't do it, what can I do?" I'm already the founding marquis, can he still kill me? ”

Hao blank asked, "Then what are you going to do, big brother?" Shinong industry and commerce, there is no hope for becoming an official, is it difficult to go farming? ”

Zhao Gu's eyes lit up, he didn't know what he thought, and he smiled: "Blank, you are really a genius!" ”
