Zhao Heng's mood is very good, since he ascended the throne, every day he has been stuffed with the excerpts of the front-line food urging and the excerpts of the fiasco, today can be regarded as hearing such a good news, it is really an unprecedented victory, and he is in a good mood, so he is not too angry, even Fang Cai said that he wanted to pull out the tongue of the eunuch who served him, how could this personal eunuch be willing to punish him after serving him for more than ten years, Fang Cai was just scaring him, seeing that the eunuch was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up, he slapped himself in the mouth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Zhao Heng said: "Don't go yet!" Are you really waiting for me to pluck out your tongue? β
"Yes, yes, the servant will go and order someone to invite Master Li." The eunuch saw that Zhao Heng did not mean to punish himself, and hurriedly stood up and was about to go out, but he was too anxious to walk under his feet, and his left foot directly tripped on his right foot and directly fell into a dog to eat, and Zhao Heng laughed when he saw it. The eunuch hurriedly got up and flew out, as if running out of the palace, and ordered the guards outside the palace gate: "Go and invite Master Li Gang and Li to come, there is something important to summon the saint!" β
The golden gourd warriors and guards on both sides looked at each other clearly from outside the palace, and the eunuch fell firmly. At this time, when I saw that my face was bleeding, I couldn't hold it back, and I was already laughing.
"You big-headed soldiers, dare to laugh at our family, pay attention to our family and transfer you all to brush the night pot! Why don't you go and invite Master Li! The eunuch said with a male duck throat and an orchid finger with a hideous face, but the two blood streams on his nose flowed out of his nose, but this majesty was greatly reduced, and it was a bit funny.
"Father-in-law is angry! The little ones are going! The guards replied with a suppressed laugh. After a few people, they took the waist card and went out of the palace gate to invite Li Gang to come.
Not long after, Li Gang entered the palace in a neat official uniform, said long live Sheng'an, and bowed down with both hands.
"Aiqing, don't be polite, come forward, I want to say a great joy to you!" Zhao Heng said excitedly.
"Oh, it just so happens that the Holy Majesty also has a great happy event to announce to the Holy Lord." Li Gang was busy.
"You mean! Liu? Zhao Heng said.
"Yes, it's Liu Ping!" Li Gang was also excited.
"The minister has just gotten the news, a big victory, a big victory, a saint!" Li Gang's face was excited.
"Yes, it's a big win! God is pitiful, the ancestors bless, my great Song is full of luck. When the Jin soldiers were in danger, this fierce general, God bless me Da Song! Zhao Heng said with a happy face.
"A good talent recommended by Li Aiqing. What a discernment! What a great achievement! β
Li Gang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said that he didn't dare, and said respectfully: "Thanks to the blessing of Taizu Taizong, the saint is wise, the front-line soldiers are fighting hard to kill the enemy and kill the thief, how can the subordinate He De dare to make such a great achievement!" β
Zhao Heng, who slapped an inconspicuous sycophant, was a little fluttering, and Zhao Heng said happily: "Li Aiqing should not be modest, if you didn't recommend Liu Ping, how could he have the opportunity to make a great contribution." Come on, happy today, my wine banquet has not been withdrawn, let's have a few drinks with me. By the way, discuss with me how to reward this Liu Lang general!! Ha ha. β
Li Gang bowed his head and said respectfully: "Thank you to the Holy Lord, then the subordinate will be bold." β
The two of them chatted while drinking, it was late at night, but no one paid attention, outside the palace, a pair of eyes secretly stared at the two monarchs and ministers who were drinking in the palace, for a long time, the figure turned to leave, and took advantage of the night to go out of the palace gate and went straight into the palace of Emperor Zhao Ji.
In the courtyard of the palace, the incense burner is curling with green smoke, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong sits on the futon, meditating with his eyes closed, wearing a loose brocade robe, and his fair skin is maintained like a baby. Holding a wishful mantra in both hands. Like an old monk in a state of mind, after a long time, Zhao Ji slowly opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. The turbid gas sinks, and the clear air rises. swept the leisurely eyes in his eyes that were ignorant of the world in the past, and it was full of a solemn atmosphere.
Zhao Ji's side was Liang Shicheng, a close person, who also stood motionless and respectfully on Zhao Ji's side, holding a jade Ruyi whisk in his left hand, and the silver-white brown sideburns of the dust were placed on his right hand, making a Dharma protector with one hand.
Liang Shicheng saw Zhao Ji open his eyes and said respectfully: "Taishang, this is a good time to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and condense the Yuan Shen to achieve the supreme avenue. β
"I am unsettled, I always feel that there is a depressed atmosphere in the dantian, and I can't meditate, how can I settle down with peace of mind." Zhao Ji said helplessly.
"Isn't it that the new tribute pills of the Fangshi are not very effective? The subordinates will send someone to Longhu Mountain tomorrow and ask Zhang Tianshi to condense a few more fine Purple Pole Heavenly Dao Divine Pills, so as to help Taishang form the Supreme Golden Pill Avenue as soon as possible. Liang Shicheng hurriedly said.
"I can't wait, the pill is not effective. It's the lonely mind that can't be calm, so the pill can't be effective. Zhao Ji said slowly.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be entangled in the world, get the Jindan Avenue as soon as possible, you can transcend the domain and achieve the body of the supreme golden immortal." Liang Shicheng said respectfully.
"Shicheng, don't just say something nice, if it's so easy, wouldn't the sky be full of gods and Buddhas. How can it be so easy to achieve the supreme avenue, it is difficult to achieve the immortal body, and the lonely knows. Zhao Ji said lightly. Slowly stood up from the futon, soothed his slightly numb legs, turned his back to his hands, and slowly paced a few steps in the hall. Turning to Liang Shicheng, he asked, "Is there any movement in Huan'er?" β
"Back to Taishang, there is no big deal on the new monarch's side, he is diligent in going to court every day, and tonight he occasionally called the dancing girl to watch the dance and drink." Liang Shicheng said.
"Oh~, Huan'er is the first time to become a treasure, and he should pay more attention to the government, how can he drink for fun, and he needs to be warned another day." Zhao Ji said slowly.
While speaking, a small yellow door outside the hall door quietly entered the hall and whispered to Liang Shicheng. Zhao Ji went down. Zhao Ji turned to Liang Shicheng and said, "What's the matter?" β
"Taishang, Su Ming is here. Said that there was something to report. Liang Shicheng returned.
"Let him in." Zhao Ji said.
Not long after, a eunuch entered the palace gate, but it was the eunuch who fell in front of Zhao Heng.
"Servant Su Ming visits the Emperor." The eunuch's name was Su Ming.
"Get up." Zhao Ji said in a deep voice.
"Xie Taishang!" Su Ming stood up with his head down. Stand respectfully aside.
"Anyway, what's going on over there with Huan'er?" Zhao Ji said.
"Back to Taishang, I just came to report quickly, saying that Liu Ping, the defender of Cangzhou, repelled Wanyan Zongwang, the commander of the golden soldiers, the day before yesterday, and won more than 10,000 gold thieves! It's a big win. Su Ming replied. Li Gang was urgently recruited into the palace by the new monarch to discuss the reward after the war. β
"Oh~~ yes, so Liuγ»Liu Ping. What's that, oh, the Northland Blood Tiger? Hehe, still a really nice guy. Zhao Ji said with a smile. Won more than 10,000 gold thieves. Not bad, not bad! β
"Li Gangγ»γ»There is nothing wrong with this person, but he is too stubborn, and he has brushed Gu's wishes several times, if it weren't for his dedication to the country, Gu really wanted to kill him back then!" Zhao Ji said dissatisfied.
"Taishang is angry, now Li Gangshen's new monarch is favored, if he kills him rashly, I'm afraid that the new monarch's face will not be able to hinder it." Liang Shicheng dissuaded.
"However, Taishang, now that such a great victory has been achieved, I am afraid that the crisis of Yandi is not so big, and when the siege of Taiyuan is lifted by the Seed Master, even if the siege of the Great Song Dynasty is gone, then Taishang should also consider returning to the position of the Great Treasure, otherwise the new monarch is young and vigorous, and many things are not handled properly I am afraid that it will damage the fortunes of the country."
"Well, Lone also has some thoughts, but don't worry, let's take a look at Huan'er's actions for the time being, this Da Song is Lone's Da Song after all. Even if Lone is not above Dabao, the matter of this Da Song has to be Lone's final say! β
"What Taishang said is reasonable, this Da Song is yours after all!" Liang Shicheng said respectfully.
Zhao Ji turned to Su Ming, who was low-waisted, and said: "You have been in the palace since you were a child, and you have been arranged by me to Huan'er's side, and Huan'er is deeply favored, but don't forget the mission that Lone gave you, be optimistic about Huan'er, if there is any trouble, tell me in time." If there are any two hearts, your life will be as fragile as the dew of the night! β
"Su Ming doesn't dare! Su Ming swears to be loyal to Taishang! The servant will not live up to the hard work of the Taishang, rest assured, the servant will definitely be optimistic about the new monarch for you! Su Ming hurriedly knelt on the ground and showed his loyalty.
"Get up. Let's go back to Huan'er earlier. The provincial Huan'er is suspicious, Lone's son, Lone's best understanding. Huan'er's suspicions are too big, too much with me. If I haven't seen you for so long, I'm afraid I'm going to be suspicious. Go back early and save yourself the hassle! If there is something in the future, report it to me in time. Go ahead! Let's go back. Zhao Ji said.
"The servant obeyed. The servant retired first. After Su Ming finished speaking, he knelt down and saluted, slowly turned around and withdrew from the palace.
"Liang Shicheng!" Zhao Ji shouted.
"Your Majesty is here! Please command! Liang Shicheng responded.
"A few days ago, Lone's inner library was already empty, why hasn't Cai Jing's 500,000 taels of silver promised Lone yet been delivered." Zhao Ji said dissatisfied.
"Taishang forgave the sin, Rong Chen told him, Cai Jing only sent 300,000 taels. said that the treasury was empty, but the 300,000 taels were still withheld from the salaries of the Western Army. When the Jiangnan tax comes up in winter, I will make up for it. Liang Shicheng hurriedly confessed.
"Humph! Cai Jing, this guy, really doesn't take Lone more and more seriously, he thinks that Lone has retired from the position of Dabao, and Lone has no way to take him!! β
"Taishang is angry, and the minister will urge tomorrow." Liang Shicheng said busily.
"Hey, I'm a little sleepy, and I'm going to rest." Zhao Ji said lightly.
"Taishang, do you want to take Li Nushi to sleep in the palace?" Liang Shicheng asked.
"No need, I'm very sleepy today, I don't have the energy and strength, let's do it another day..." Zhao Ji said sleepily. After speaking, he walked to the soft bed.
"Taishang, your subordinates retire!" Liang Shicheng slowly retreated, and the hall was empty.
