Late at night, the Royal Palace.

There is no need for a middle-aged man to see a middle-aged man in brocade in the apse.

At this time, the middle-aged man who didn't need to have changed into a eunuch costume had already changed into a eunuch costume, but the middle-aged man in brocade clothes was wearing a dragon robe.

The middle-aged man in the dragon robe is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty of the current dynasty, Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo, and the middle-aged man who does not need to be the eunuch who serves Zhao Kuo - Ji Gonggong.

"How's it going?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Your Majesty, this is all the information sorted out by the slave family, and please ask the emperor to take a look." Gonggong Ji took out a document and put his hands on the case.

After a while, Zhao Kuo finished reading the content of the document and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that little woman to be a chivalrous woman." ”

"It's really cute." Ji Gonggong smiled and said, "Although the shot is a little ruthless." The second son of the servant of the ministry had two front teeth knocked out. ”

"Humph!" Zhao Kuo said coldly: "As the second son of the servant family, he bullied the people and robbed the people's daughters, he deserves it!" ”

"That's what the emperor said." Gonggong Ji bowed his head, but he knew in his heart that the second son of the servant who was molesting the father and daughter of the artist this afternoon was finished. I'm afraid that the servants will also be implicated, and there is no hope for promotion.

"I didn't expect this young man to have a good hand in cooking." Zhao Kuo looked at the contents of the document and was very curious: "The fragrance is overflowing, and everyone is watching...... Is it really that tempting? ”

"But it's tempting." Gonggong Ji nodded, recalled the aroma of those meals, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously: "When the slave family only smells the aroma, it is already like a drum in the belly, and they are full of desire." It's a pity that he only eats it himself, and doesn't sell it. What does it taste like? Only he and the little girl know. ”

"If you have a chance, you should try it." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

Ji Gonggong's eyes flashed, and he bowed his head and said, "There must be a chance." ”

Putting down the document, Zhao Kuo stretched out a little tiredly, and said: "That young man is so powerful, but he is hidden in the people, it can be seen how many talents my Great Song Dynasty has buried, alas! Heavy text misleads the country! ”

"......" Gonggong Ji lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

"That's it." Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "That young man visited more than ten blacksmith shops, and each shop customized a kitchen knife, what is the meaning?" ”

"This ......" Gonggong Ji also had a question mark in his head and shook his head: "The slave family can't guess it." ”

"He's a good cook, so he has to make a kitchen knife that can be handy?" After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he also shook his head: "It's a little mysterious." ”

"If the emperor wants to know, he will have to wait a few more days." Ji Gonggong: "Or...... Xuan He entered the palace and asked right? ”

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay." After a pause: "Let him come to the palace tomorrow evening to see me, and don't publicize it." ”

"The slave knows."

……

After breakfast the next day, Ling Chi and Huang Rong wandered around Lin'an City to appreciate the style of the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In fact, when it comes to prosperity, any ancient big city cannot be compared with modern third-tier cities, and what can attract Lingchi is only the customs and cultural landscape of this era.

For example, the urban appearance of Bianjing recorded on the Qingming Shanghe map and the living conditions of people from all walks of life in society are very attractive. It's a pity that it was the scenery of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now Bianjing has long been occupied by the Jin State, and the prosperity of the Qingming Shanghe map no longer exists.

However, after decades of development, Lin'an Mansion has also become a bit of a weather, and there are a lot of outsiders coming and going from the south to the north, and you can even see many businessmen wearing Jinguo costumes.

Obviously, the Southern Song Dynasty had just fought a four-year war with the Jin State a few years ago, but I didn't expect the people to get along very well.

It's right to think about it, the Southern Song Dynasty has already declared itself a vassal to the Jin State, although there will be a fight from time to time, but the master-slave relationship has always existed, and the Southern Song Dynasty court did not dare to close the exchanges between the government and the opposition to the Jin State because of this.

Nowadays, the national strength of the Jin State is much stronger than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, especially when Ling Chi easily ended up with Genghis Khan, which caused the finally unified Mongolia to fall into civil strife again, and the Jin State also took the opportunity to lay down a lot of territory belonging to Mongolia and plundered a considerable number of people.

Now, Mongolia has reverted to its previous tribal form, in which there are four or five larger tribes, no one is subordinate to the other, conquest and plundering each other, resulting in the death of many people over the years.

The countries in the Western Regions occupied by the Mongols, also because of the death of Genghis Khan, caused the Mongol soldiers to withdraw from the Western Regions one after another, return to their respective tribes, and fight for the tribes.

In ten years, Mongolia was chaotic and the Jin State was strong, and the Southern Song Dynasty could only diligently cultivate its internal strength and barely resist the further invasion of the Jin State.

Zhao Kuo was a more promising emperor, he defined science as pseudo-science, forbade Zhao Ruyu, Zhu Xi and others to hold official positions, participate in the imperial examination, and posthumously crowned Yue Fei as the king of Hubei, and two years later cut off Qin Hui and the knighthood, striking at the surrender faction.

During his reign, the republic fought two large-scale wars with the Jin State, in addition to the war that had just ended two years earlier, the one that preceded the heart-wrenching Jiading Peace Conference.

Can't beat it, can't beat it, just can't beat it. Because if you can't beat it, you can only be bullied. Zhao Kuo was originally an ambitious emperor, but because of this war, he was almost depressed.

Fortunately, he survived, in this war a few years ago, he finally fought an invincible and undefeated situation with the Jin State, which maintained the dignity of the Southern Song Dynasty and made the Jin State dare not be more unscrupulous.

In fact, the population of the Southern Song Dynasty is not less than that of the Jin State, and the economy, culture and science and technology are also more developed, the reason why the Jin State cannot be defeated is nothing more than the founding of the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning of the national policy of emphasizing literature and light on military force, which made the Great Song Dynasty empty of national strength, but the heroes are useless, coupled with the tragic end of the Yue family's army, it is even more difficult for countless descendants to grit their teeth and scold more than once.

Zhao Kuo is one of them.

That's why he frantically attacked the capitulation faction and launched two large-scale wars with the Jin State. Although he lost badly the first time, he was undefeated the second time. As long as we continue to develop, we may not be able to achieve the shame of Jiading and Jingkang.

It's a pity that historically, Zhao Kuo will die in a few years, and his ambition is difficult to pay.

……

Ling Chi and Huang Rong went shopping for most of the day, bought a lot of snacks, watched a lot of juggling, and felt like visiting a temple fair.

Towards evening, the two were about to go back to the inn to rest, but they were blocked by a white-faced middle-aged man halfway through, and asked with a smile: "But Ling Shaoxia and the White Lotus Fairy face to face?" ”

Ling Chi looked at this middle-aged man, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Sunflower Ancestor? ”

“？？？”

Ji Gonggong had a question mark in his head: "What is the Sunflower Ancestor that Ling Shaoxia said?" ”

"Uh, nothing." Ling Chi shook his head and said, "I recognized the wrong person." ”

And he didn't admit it.

This middle-aged man is not just the right age, the color of his hair is wrong, and his figure has also lost a little weight, but in other aspects, he is exactly the same as the Sunflower Ancestor he saw in the Condor World.

There was a gap of more than 20 years between that time and now, and when you calculate the time, it is about the same.

It's just that how could this Sunflower Ancestor block his way?

"Huh." Gonggong Ji said with a smile: "Ling Shaoxia was very powerful yesterday, and taught the ruffians and scoundrels a lesson, and the White Lotus Fairy also practiced chivalry, taught the second son of the servant of the Ministry of Justice, and saved the father and daughter who were performing arts. When the emperor learned about it, he was very happy and wanted to meet the two. I wonder if the two of you can enter the palace with our family? ”

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket. I don't compare my heart today, I don't add more today.
