The person who shot was Zhao Zheng, and he and Li Congshan had just come out of the palace and saw this scene.

What is Huangfu Jixun doing? Do you want to burn someone to death? Seeing Fan Shuqing's frightened expression and the flames that were rising, Zhao Zheng did not hesitate for a moment and immediately left.

Saving people is an instinct, how can you see someone burned to death and be indifferent? The people of the Southern Tang Dynasty watched indifferently, because they were afraid of offending Huangfu Jixun, but they were not afraid, and it was a pleasure to do it against him.

Fortunately, there was a winding river at the gate of the palace, Zhao Zheng immediately took off his coat, immersed himself in the river water, and rushed away, throwing out some water stains. Before the flames enveloped Fan Shuqing's body, he wrapped his wet clothes around him.

The fire was extinguished, but fortunately, Zhao Zheng reacted quickly and saved Fan Shuqing's life. It's just that the well-mannered scholar suddenly became unbearable, and there were a few more burns on his body.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Zheng asked softly.

"Thank you Zhao Shaoqing for saving your life, it's just an out-of-skin injury, it doesn't matter." Fan Shuqing recovered from the fright, endured the pain, and thanked Zhao Zheng very politely.

"Zhao Zheng, it's a good thing for you to hurt me again!" In anger, seeing Zhao Zheng's figure, Huangfu Jixun was furious.

"General Huangfu's words are wrong, this official is saving you!" Zhao Zheng sneered: "Arson is a lawsuit to eat people's lives, I did it so that the general will not be imprisoned, or even killed. ”

After that, he turned to look at the surrounding Southern Tang dignitaries and dignitaries, and sighed: "General Huangfu, is your popularity so bad?" All the princes of Gon are here, and no one has come to your rescue, what a ...... Alas! ”

The faces of the Southern Tang people present were a little unnatural, and Zhao Zheng was clearly accusing them of being indifferent and not saving them when they died. But in that situation just now, who wants to get on fire?

The one who touched him the most was Fan Shuqing, who was set on fire by the general of a country at the gate of the noble and solemn Zheng Wang's Mansion. In the most critical moment, not a single compatriot rescued them, and they were so indifferent. Afraid of offending Huangfu Jixun, he didn't save him when he saw death, and he disregarded his life in vain, because they were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality on weekdays.

In the end, it was the foreign envoy who took action and pulled himself back from the ghost gate. Are there all this kind of people in the Tang court? Even if one person spoke out to dissuade him, he would not be so cold. Even Bachelor Han Xizai, whom he respected, even acquiesced to Huangfu Jixun's embarrassment of himself, and he was indifferent, which is really chilling and heart-wrenching!

Suddenly, Fan Shuqing was extremely disappointed, and originally wanted to serve Han Xizai's disciples, praying for a recommendation, and was fortunate to enter the court with King Zheng, so that he could make contributions to the Tang Kingdom. Now this great ambition seems ridiculous!

The court of the Tang Kingdom is full of arrogance and arrogance, hypocrisy and righteousness, and corpses are vegetarians, do you expect these people to make the country rich and strong, and stabilize the country? Even His Royal Highness King Zheng, who is said to have the image of a saint, and the prince who is most likely to succeed to the throne does not care about the government and politics, and fills in the lyrics all day long, singing the beautiful sound.

Where is there hope for such a country? In an instant, Fan Shuqing seemed to be disillusioned and disappointed in Nantang.

Over there, Huangfu Jixun didn't appreciate it, and said angrily: "Zhao Zheng, don't go too far!" ”

"Excessive?" Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "You are a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people!" What if this scholar has three longs and two shorts? How do you explain? ”

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it!" Huangfu Jixun said: "He intends to set fire to this general, but he is just treating him in the way of others!" ”

"No, it was he who hit me and the lantern, and that's why it caught fire." Fan Shuqing defended loudly, very unconvinced.

Zhao Zheng smiled: "Hehe, no matter what, General Huangfu shouldn't be lynched, right?" Doesn't Tang have a criminal department? If you see the lord of your country another day, the official must ask, and when you return to Bianliang, you can reply to Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Zheng changed his words and said: "What's more, today is King Zheng's birthday, and you are killing people at the gate of the palace, isn't this damaging to His Royal Highness King Zheng's reputation and longevity?" There was a commotion at the gate of the palace, if King Zheng heard it inside, it wouldn't be a big deal, right? ”

mentioned Li Congjia, Huangfu Jixun finally moved, although he was angry, he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Some people, it's just a little thing, but they still have to worry about it, which is detrimental to their temperament!" Zhao Zheng turned to look at Han Xizai and asked with a smile, "Bachelor Han, did you say yes?" ”

Han Xizai was silent, at this moment, it was not only Huangfu Jixun who was slapped in the face, but also him. didn't come forward to defend the doorman, but it was the envoys of the Song State who took action, which contrasted with his unkindness, shame!

"Everyone, take your leave!" Zhao Zheng clenched his fists and arched his hands, looked around at the dignitaries of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and prepared to leave.

Fan Shuqing hurriedly took off Zhao Zheng's soaked coat, offered it with both hands, and said sincerely: "Thank you Zhao Shaoqing, your clothes are wet and dirty, I'm really sorry." ”

After Fan Shuqing's clothes were burned, there were many damages, and he was no longer clothed, Zhao Zheng smiled: "You wear it first!" ”

"This ......" Fan Shuqing seemed a little embarrassed.

Zhao Zheng turned around and saw Huangfu Jixun's vicious eyes, thinking that after he left, he was afraid that he would be full of resentment and would spill on this scholar.

"You wear it, go back and help wash and dry, and personally send it to the protocol house, remember, this is the robe given by my Emperor Xià of the Great Song Dynasty Emperor, and it must not be damaged! If someone deliberately destroys the things given by the emperor......" Zhao Zheng turned to look at Li Congshan and said with a smile: "King Han, when the time comes, you have to help the official track it down, otherwise His Majesty will be angry......"

Today, Zhao Zheng is wearing civilian clothes, and it is indeed Zhao Kuangyin who sent someone to prepare it, and it is barely counted as a royal gift. Pulling Li Congshan in again is to let him suppress Huangfu Jixun and temporarily keep Fan Shuqing safe.

"What Zhao Shaoqing said is true!" Li Congshan is also helpless, but if he rises to the point of diplomatic relations between the emperors and the two countries, it is a matter of principle, and he must not be careless.

Zhao Zheng left very chicly, Li Congshan left helplessly, Han Xizai left very embarrassed, and Huangfu Jixun was angry. Calm down and think about it, Shicai's behavior is indeed inappropriate, and the consequences may not be good, but if someone else stops it, why is it Zhao Zheng?

Huangfu Jixun would not think that Zhao Zheng's action was respecting life, but that he deliberately wanted to do it against himself and deliberately make himself unhappy.

Since you make me unhappy, then I also make you unhappy, and the grudge between Zhao Zheng and Huangfu Jixun is even deeper.

Huangfu Jixun glanced at Fan Shuqing fiercely when he left, he wanted to beat this scholar violently, but after seeing the look of Li Congshan, the king of Han, he had to hold back and count all the resentment on Zhao Zheng's head.

Fan Shuqing is not afraid, he is an upright and square scholar, quite arrogant, and he is not afraid of the powerful in his bones. On the contrary, he only had disappointment in his heart, disappointment in Tang Guo. Looking at the back of Zhao Zheng's departure, he was grateful in his heart, this envoy of the Great Song Dynasty was not only brilliant, but also a warm-hearted and kind person, at least much stronger than those so-called benevolent and righteous people in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The coat on his body was wet, and he was a little chilly on the early autumn night, but his heart was exceptionally warm. It was this dress that saved his life, kept him safe, and gave him hope. ‘

People say that the grace of dripping water, when the spring is repaid, Uncle Fan thinks so. The grace of a piece of clothing today will be rewarded in the future, and the moment he left the palace, he swore to heaven.

When the conflict ended, the dignitaries and dignitaries who were embarrassed at the gate of the palace dispersed and went home. The gate of the palace was opened, and Li Congjia, the king of Zheng, did not know what had just happened, he stayed by the lake for a while, and hurried out to Zhongshan.
