Chapter XLVIII

These chamberlains, all castrated eunuchs, praised the female servants in front of the emperor, but they did not need to avoid disobedience as the ministers.

Zhao Huan already thought to himself at this time that he was well-informed, and the events of this era would not surprise him. When he heard that there were twenty-four districts in the Tokyo Palace alone, thousands of palace rooms, and thousands of female servants raised by animals, all of them were carefully selected Tianzi and national colors, he was also stunned.

"Corruption, corruption! It is said that we officials are corrupt, and it seems that we are still not as good as the feudal emperors! ”

He scolded bitterly in his heart, but he had a little regret, but it was a pity that he was too late to get to this Zhao Huan, and this was not the time for pleasure, it seemed that he didn't know the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, so he could repeat the grand occasion of the year.

But one by one, these attendants continued: "The maidens came closer, and one by one they galloped, and the prancing horses flew and shot, and the arrows that were wider than the usual arrows were used to break the thin willow branches that fluttered in the wind in front of the Chongzheng Palace, and the hydrangeas that were dragged by the galloping horses and rolled all over the ground. They rode like the straight children of all classes, but they galloped more elegantly and more lightly and beautifully than the men; They shoot their bows like men, and they can pull apart the bow of the divine arm, which is three feet two inches long and two feet five inches long, and can break through the armor. ”

Zhao Heng's eyes shook when he listened, and he secretly imagined it.

What a beautiful scenery it was, the grass and trees were deep, a piece of green, hundreds of men with bearded eyebrows, with ashamed faces, looking at the woman in a red robe, with a pale face, stretching their bows and arrows. You don't need to shoot arrows!

It's just that when I think of this, it's a real pity.

Zhao Jiruo will train the kung fu of these female dancers. It was slightly used on the forbidden army stationed in Beijing. If military discipline and military equipment are not wasted to such a point, how can they be so easily destroyed.

He was already unhappy in his heart, and there was a chamberlain who didn't know what he meant, and said that the emperor was still happy to hear it. He also said: "At that time, there was a literary scholar who praised the key to the building: the front rider hugged the hydrangea, and the rear rider shot like a star. Hydrangea Feikun is the most difficult to shoot, and three or four out of ten are called excellent. This poem is the situation of Zandi at that time. ”

There are a few drops of ink in the belly of this inner servant, and he actually memorizes the poems of the day word for word.

Zhao Huan couldn't bear it anymore and asked coldly, "Where is the key to this building now?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all bowed their heads and thought for a while, and finally someone replied: "It seems that he was captured by the Jin people." He is currently being held in five countries. ”

Zhao Huan paused and shouted: "Don't I know! In the future, you must not mention these things again, if you have the idea of letting me expand the palace and raise more daughters to enrich myself, I will send you to the Five Kingdoms City to accompany the emperor! ”

These people are so hard to agitate, but they really have this kind of thought, which was broken by Zhao Heng's words, and they were immediately terrified. Don't dare to say it again.

While speaking, the female singer summoned from the Queen Mother had already been repaired outside the pavilion, but the pavilion was lively, so she had to wait outside.

Hearing the silence in the pavilion, the female trick said: "Concubine Wen Ting, come to wait for the official's house." ”

Zhao Frame's interest was already a little destroyed, but the other party was the person who served by the Queen Mother's side, and it was inconvenient to be lazy, so he had to respond: "Come in." ”

"Yes."

Outside, there was a crisp sound at first, and then a pair of white slender hands gently pushed open the attic door.

Ten fingers are slender, slender and slender, soft as boneless, which is exactly the hand shape that Zhao Huan likes very much.

The sun was shining outside the pavilion, and when the door opened, a green figure flashed in, and the light quickly swept over the figure.

Zhao Huan casually glanced at each other's eyes.

I felt that the other party's eyes were not as flustered as ordinary officials, but calm and like a pool of autumn water, peaceful and quiet.

I haven't looked at each other like this for a long time, and after a moment, the other party lowered his head and saluted, but Zhao Heng was actually lost.

Tyrannical, brutal, hateful

admiration, love, fear

Or out of various thoughts, the kind of love that can be seen through at a glance, fake models.

"Get up, don't be polite."

With the intention of wanting to see more of the other party, Zhao Huan immediately ordered the female trick to get up.

It's just that after Wen Ting was ordered to get up, she silently bowed her head and refused to let the emperor have a chance to look at her.

Zhao Heng sighed softly, looked at the other party's beautiful face, and asked Wen Yan, "What skills do you have?" ”

For a female artist, it is not polite to ask such a direct question, but if the identity of the other party is the emperor, it is naturally not a problem.

Wen Ting was blessed and replied in a low voice: "There are two piano songs, which should be able to serve the official's family." ”

Zhao Heng shook his head with a smile and replied, "It's too noisy, I have to be quiet." ”

was beaten back, Wen Ting was not flustered, and asked tentatively: "How about the concubine reading a passage of Zhuangzi to the official family?" ”

Zhao Heng smiled dumbly, and said in his heart: "Reading aloud is also a skill? ”

I was going to refuse again, but I just looked at the beautiful woman who couldn't help but feel weak, and her heart softened for no reason, and she immediately replied: "Okay, I just listen." ”

After that, he only felt that his emotions were not quite right, and shook his head with a wry smile.

A man like him, no matter how beautiful and stunning a woman is, can't really make him really tempted, and only such a beautiful and delicate woman makes him unsettled.

Since Zhao Huan agreed, Wen Ting took a few steps forward, closer to the emperor.

Wen Tingcuihuan was dressed in green, and she was in the middle of the pavilion, looking up behind her head, just for a moment, the whole person's temperament seemed to be reborn, and Huo Ran changed greatly. I only heard her say aloud: "Xie pity the worm, the worm pity the snake, the snake pity the wind, the wind pity the eyes, and the eyes have mercy." Xie said: "I walk with one foot, and I can't do anything!" The envoy of this son is full of thousands of feet, what can I do alone? He said, "No." Don't you care about the spit? The spray is like a bead, the small one is like a fog, and the miscellaneous ones are innumerable. Now I move my heavenly opportunity, but I don't know why. The snake said, "I walk with many feet and not as little as the feet of the son, why not?" The snake said, "The husband is moved." How can it be easy to be evil? I'm full of it! The snake said to the wind: "If you move my spine and walk, it will be similar." This son rises from the North Sea. It enters the South China Sea. And there seems to be nothing, why not? The wind said, "Yes." Yu Peng Pengran rises from the North Sea and enters the South China Sea, but he is better than me, and I am better than me. Though. The man who folds the big wood and the big house is the only one who can. Therefore, the small is invincible. For the great victor, only the saints can do it. ”

This passage is awkward and ancient, but it is a passage in Zhuangzi's "Autumn Water Chapter".

Wen Ting had obviously worked reading aloud. There is no sense of stagnation in reciting it, and the voice is delicate and lovely, and this passage of ancient and difficult autumn water is memorized. Bewitching.

After all, Zhao Huan had systematically learned Chinese, and in the Song Dynasty, he deliberately strengthened his ancient Chinese mastery, not only knowing that the other party was memorizing the autumn water chapter, but also knowing its meaning.

was just taken by the temperament of this Wen Ting when she recited it, and for a while, I couldn't imagine the meaning of her reciting this paragraph.

It wasn't until she finished reciting and retreated that Zhao Heng realized.

In this passage, these animals explain their own ways of walking. Then through the narration of the wind, to illustrate a truth.

Zhao Huan asked Na Wenting with a smile: "Did the Queen Mother ask you to memorize this paragraph?" ”

Wen Ting only felt that the official family's attitude was surprisingly kind, and she was surprised in her heart, but she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "No, it was the concubine who chose it at will." ”

Zhao Heng said: "You can choose at will, and it fits my state of mind." ”

He stood up and muttered, "You can win only if you don't compete with the lesser ones." And all things are born, each has its own strengths, but also has its own shortcomings, but people use it well, it will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

He slowly paced in front of Wen Ting, looking at it from head to toe, only to feel that it was extremely pleasing to the eye.

In a happy mood, he ordered loudly: "Come here, reward Wenting ten taels of gold." ”

As an emperor, such a reward is extremely common, even shabby. However, for an emperor like Zhao Huan, who treats money as his life and even treats himself very harshly, it is a rare reward.

Wen Ting smiled, bowed down, and said coquettishly: "Thank you for the official reward." ”

Zhao Huan's heart was moved, but he turned his head and waved his hand: "Go, I have calmed down a lot, I went back to see the Queen Mother, and I only said the essence of the autumn water chapter, I understand." ”

Although the woman said that the article she memorized had nothing to do with the Queen Mother, Zhao Huan didn't believe it.

Wen Ting stared at him, bowed again, and turned to leave.

Zhao Heng looked at her back, feeling stunned. After a long time, he smiled to himself and whispered: "I wanted to meditate, but it turned out to be a boulder thrown into the pool." ”

Just when Zhao Heng was struggling to resist the so-called "heart demon", at the city gate of Chang'an, there was a combination of two people dressed strangely, waiting for the inspection at the city gate.

At that time, there was no road guide invented by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it did not restrict the free circulation of the people, just because Chang'an was the place where the emperor was stationed, whether it was the strength of the inventory and the elite degree of the defenders of each gate, it was no longer comparable to the original Jingzhao Mansion.

Because there is no evidence, the forbidden army guarding the door is just in accordance with the custom of the time, interrogating the other party's origin, identity, and what to do when entering the city.

The Song Dynasty was mercantile and social-economic development was extremely high, which also greatly changed the quantity and quality of the floating population.

At this time, although the emperor lived in the city, it could not stop the people from coming and going.

The two people who were interrogated had an extremely relaxed attitude, the old man was wearing a Taoist robe, and the young one was wearing a scholar's robe, and the interrogation of the forbidden army was questionable and answered, neither humble nor arrogant, although such a combination was extremely weird, but there was no flaw.

The leader of the gatekeepers quickly lost interest in them, and turned his eyes to the large number of caravans that were rushing not far away, waved his hand, and politely signaled to them that they could enter the city.

The old man is Yao Pingzhong, and the one who walks with him is naturally Yu Yunwen.

Since watching Yue Fei defeat Liu Guangshi, the two are not optimistic about the future of Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu. Therefore, he categorically rejected the kindness of the other party's sponsorship, and after observing Yue Fei's military camp, he quietly left, first arrived in Jiangzhun, traveled to Jiankang and other places, and then paced the river north, disguised as a small trader, from Shandong to Hebei, and then through the whole territory of Hedong, from Hedong to Shaanxi, until Chang'an City.
