Chapter 63: The atmosphere is a little tense

When the king saw He Libo, he was like seeing his relatives, and he was uncomfortable talking in the study. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang and He Libo returned to the inner mansion, and the wine and food were placed in the hall, and the two brothers chatted while drinking. This conversation feels like there is no end to it. Between Wang Pan and He Libo, Zhang Ping is much closer than Fold Kejun, and He Libo has a lot of things to ask Wang Pan.

The great palace was silent, except for the sound of talking in the hall next to the king, and the occasional laughter, scolding, or sighing. Outside the window, there was a "knock-knock!" Boom! The sound of "knock", the husband of the palace is slow and fast, reminding those who have not slept that it is now the fourth watch (one o'clock in the morning).

Wang stopped to tell and listened: "It's already four watches?" ”

He Libo stared at his slightly reddened eyes: "Yes! Look at me, I forgot the time for this chat, brother, you still have a lot to do tomorrow, you can rest early. ”

Wang smiled apologetically: "I can't wait to talk to Brother He, you have also been running all the way, and you must be tired." I really have something to do tomorrow, let's stop drinking this wine, and I'll let my eldest brother take him to rest immediately. ”

"Good!" He Libo stood up and said, "Alas, I remember that I went to Chenzhou with General Di and my brothers, and our brothers were like this, and they always chatted until late at night. ”

He Libo's words also evoked the memories of the king, and he suddenly said: "If the eldest brother doesn't mind, just rest on the couch for a night, although the wine is not drunk, but now it may not be able to sleep, why don't we talk about sleeping like back then?" ”

"Good! How could I mind? ”

The lights were all extinguished, and the subordinates all retreated. The moonlight shines through the window lattice, and the room is half-light and half-dark. Wang was lying on the bed with his eyes open, and there was a soft gurgling sound from the couch when He Libo turned over.

"Brother He, are you asleep?"

"Huh? Not yet. He Libo turned over and sat up, leaning on the couch around the quilt. I was thinking, during this time in Yongzhou, I saw a lot of different things. Fields, schools, public carriages, people from all over the world. It's a pity, I'm not from Song. It's a pity that I'm not from Liao. ”

"What does Brother He mean by this?" The king asked.

He Libo half-squinted and sighed: "Now that I have passed the age of establishment, I can't find an official and a half-position in the Great Song Dynasty like Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping; I can't go back to Liao to follow my brother's example, so I sighed. ”

These words made Wang Bian can't help but be alert, he doesn't want He Libo to return to Liao, let alone He Libo to go back to develop the Yan clan. He said quietly: "If Brother He wants to seek an official, he can leave it to his brother to handle, as for the affairs of Liaoguo, I don't think it's so pessimistic." The Liao Emperor still has a great fancy for the Wanyan tribe, and doesn't the person who impeached Brother Wanyan also have an official position in the Liao court? ”

"Hehe, I don't want to be an official of the Song Dynasty, my brother has returned to the tribe now, don't you know yet, the Liao Kingdom seems to be calm at the moment, but there is a lot of dispute in the court. My brother wrote to me that the officials of the Great Liao Imperial Court are now fighting for power. Xiao Ying was sent to Western Xia, Yeluren went to quell the rebellion first, and the power of the Liao Dynasty fell into the hands of Yelu Yixin. Do you remember Sinzan? ”

"Of course I remember that when Prince Mountain built the tower, it was Xin who agreed, and he was still with him when he fought the Japanese slaves, how could I forget? I remember that at that time, he was Lin Ya of the Southern Yuan, in charge of the management of taxes in Han prefectures and counties, did something happen to him? Wang asked with concern.

"Xin Zan has made many achievements, and he has already been promoted to an official position. But now that Yelu Yixin is in power, he excludes dissidents, and all those who disagree with him are deposed. The emperor ignored the government and politics, riding horses and hunting all day long, singing and dancing, and did not care about the affairs of the court at all. Even Empress Xiao Guanyin can't see the emperor now. The ministers of the court are all in danger, let alone those of our remote tribes. ”

Wang Bei sighed softly in his heart, the Great Song Dynasty is changing, but the Liao State is still continuing history. Yelu Yixin's ambition will get bigger and bigger, and if this continues, sooner or later, he will frame Xiao Guanyin, and then it will be too late for Yelu Hongji to regret it. "If Brother He is worried about his family, it is better to take them all to the capital."

"How is that possible, the family is easy to do, what should the clan do? I can't move all the Wanyan tribes here, and now I can only take one step at a time. ”

Wang Bei comforted: "Don't worry, big brother, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." We can't handle the affairs of the Liao State now, not to mention that I can't manage so much. The ancients had a saying: Raise evil and wait for it to become a hit, and kill it in one fell swoop! If Yelu Yixin really made a fuss, I think my Great Song would not let him. What's more, what about my brother ?! ”

"Forget it, I don't miss him. If something really happens, my brother will send me a letter too! Let's talk about something else, I just heard you say that there will be a blind date in the imperial court tomorrow, and I heard that some of them have been interviewed by you. Isn't this interview the same as choosing a concubine? Now that your two ladies are pregnant, are you bored and want to get the moon first near the water! Haha"

Wang Bi also laughed: "Brother He, don't you know me yet?" I'm an upright person! Haha"

"You are upright, I believe, how can a man not care? I'll just pay attention, who doesn't like beautiful women? ”

Wang asked next to him, "Then do you want to go to the palace with me tomorrow to see this flower-viewing blind date?" ”

"Good! It just so happens that the lady is not around, but can I go? He Libo listened to the spirit, and the slight sorrow just now was completely gone.

"Of course you can, why can't I take you there? But I have to let the eldest brother be my personal guard, so that you can see what Zhao Ji is like now as the emperor! ”

"What do I think he's doing? It's not that I haven't seen it, I went to see beautiful women and watch the excitement. Hahaha" He Libo's hearty laughter was particularly loud at night.

The royal flower banquet is in the back garden of the imperial city, from the northernmost arch gate of the imperial city to enter the road of a few hundred meters, and a Linhua gate to the west is the main gate of the royal back garden. There are a lot of sedan chairs parked at the gate of the garden today, and the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office check the people in the sedan chair, and after checking the list, they let the sedan chair go directly into the garden and send it to a palace room in the Taiqing Palace.

The sedan chair stopped, and the people in the sedan chair got off the sedan chair one after another, and there were ten young girls, each of whom stood tall. They stepped out of the sedan chair and looked nervously and curiously around the royal palace.

"Hello everyone!" A loud greeting focused the attention of the bewildered girls. On the steps of the temple gate stood a handsome and dashing young man: "See the prince!" The maidens bowed in unison.

"Excuse me, hello girls. I've already met with you, and you'll be fine with whatever I say in a moment. Also, don't be shy, love to speak up! ”

The girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker when they looked at the king, and one of them asked, "Lord Wang, what if we say it and are rejected?" ”

Wang said with a smile: "Look at you, you are all beauties, such a good opportunity to show yourself, you must take advantage of it." Besides, there are only a few people who participated in the blind date today, and a large number of promising young people and promising young people and their fathers are all watching you anxious. If you can't hold hands today, I believe that when you go back, there will definitely be a sister-in-law who will kick through the threshold of your house. Just wait and choose! ”

The girls laughed again, and He Libo whispered beside the king, "Hey, what a sight to behold! ”

The king winked at him, turned to the girls, and said, "Go to the temple and rest, and in a moment someone will call you out." Remember what I told you! ”

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the main hall with He Libo. At this time, the main hall is very lively, and there are several long tables in the center of the main hall, which are full of fruits and refreshments. Different from the previous flower-viewing banquets, this time Song Shenzong also learned from the king to hold a buffet. Outside the palace is the imperial garden of the palace, and the ministers who enjoy the flowers and inscribe poems and inscriptions compete to show off their talents.

On one side of the main hall, there are several bookcases, and the interested ministers are chanting poems and painting in front of the desk, and there are even those who are talking on the side. In one corner of the main hall sat several young men, who looked at the door of the hall from time to time. Seeing the king walking in, several people gathered around: "Lord, when will the blind date start?" ”

Wang looked at several people who were sweating slightly on their foreheads, including Zhao Hao, Wang Yuanze, Ali Gu, Zhang Dunli, Han Zhongyan, Fan Zhengping and others.

"Look at how nervous you are, look how happy the Holy One will be chatting with the ministers. Don't worry, the girls have arrived, don't look dazzled for a while! Haha" laughed past everyone, he called Yuan Ze aside and whispered: "Brother, let me ask you again, if Miss Di chooses the prince first, what will you do?" ”

Wang Yuanze frowned: "If it is the will of heaven, I can't help it, then I have to follow fate." ”

Wang pat him on the shoulder: "Have a little confidence, behave well, I'm optimistic about you?!" ”

"Brother Wang, you are here!"

The king heard someone calling him, and turned around to see Zhao Ji already standing behind him: "Holy Lord, the girls are ready, now wait for you to say start." ”

Zhao Ji looked at Yuan Ze and pulled Wang to the side: "Let's talk about it, you don't have favoritism." ”

"Don't worry, can I make you embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother? When will the Queen Mother arrive? ”

"I've asked Yang Jian to invite the Queen Mother, it's going to be there in a while, can we start? The official family can't wait to see you, this blind date. ”

Wang Bei laughed: "Then the saint will announce that everyone should go to Dingfu Palace and wait to watch the big show!" ”

The ministers who participated in the flower-viewing banquet surrounded the Song Shenzong Zhao Ji to Dingfu Palace, Zhao Ji sat upright in the center of the stands, and the officials sat on both sides of him. It didn't take much effort, and the Queen Mother came.

Today's queen mother came with resentment, and the princess showed up without saying anything, and it was possible that her favorite daughter-in-law was chosen by others. But she couldn't rest assured if she didn't come, she sat down next to Zhao Ji with a sinking face.

Pang Gong and Wang Anshi couldn't help but get nervous when they saw the Queen Mother's expression, in case this performance was smashed and offended the Queen Mother, it was not a joke. Thinking of these two ministers, they glanced at each other, and hurriedly withdrew their gazes and stared nervously at the stage.
