Northern Song Dynasty, the first year of Xuanhe (1119), the seventh day of the eighth month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a population of more than one million, Tokyo is densely populated with houses and roof ridges; Because at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was based on the square alleys in the city of Tokyo, and the appearance of the city was quite distinctive. The commodity economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was developed, and the shops in the workshop were lined up one after another, and the people who got rich from the goods were like carp crossing the river, so that the first house in the garden in the city of Tokyo occupied a huge area, and it became a trend to compare and fight for wealth.

Jingmingfang is located outside the Donghua Gate, adjacent to the Wuzhang River, and the Bailum Building, which crowns the 72 restaurants in Tokyo, is opposite. The Dyeing Courtyard Bridge is in Jingmingfang, the pedestrians on the bridge are weaving, and there is a garden named "Daohe Garden" by the bridge.

The name sounds like a Taoist temple, but the owner is an out-and-out big dog, and the people of the day are ...... and even the so-called overnight nouveau riche who are not ashamed of the entire Song people - in fact, the prosperous Song Dynasty has no other profession to afford except for the scholars who are famous outside the Donghua Gate!

However, a few days ago, the Dao and Yuan ushered in a new owner, and the surrounding atmosphere tended to be strict, and the characters of the three religions and nine streams who used to be idle in the neighborhood disappeared. In addition to patrolling the streets more frequently, the people in Jingmingfang were surprised to find that the guards of the official family were straight.

Daohe Garden covers an area of several acres, the main house sits in the middle, the side houses are distributed on both sides, the green bamboo forest and green trees are dotted in the meantime, and the winding stone path looms. There is a pavilion built in the atrium, and the original owner introduced the living water of the Wuzhang River into a pond, which not only costs a lot of money, but also is bound to open up the relationship between the relevant yamen.

The so-called good at the top, and bad at the bottom!

Song Huizong was obsessed with the poisonous market, so that the family has a huge wealth of thousands of people are proud of collecting strange flowers and stones, and the original owner of Daohe Garden is no exception, exquisite and unique strange flowers and stones are not uncommon in the garden!

The road and the garden are loose outside and tight inside!

If the people of Jingmingfang today just think that there are classes guarding outside the Daohe Garden, and there seem to be big people coming to the Daohe Garden, then the Daohe Garden is a heavily guarded military fort, with a sentry post in ten steps.

There is a stone table in the pavilion, on which are placed all kinds of melons and fruits, a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, dressed in a red robe and clothes, wearing a head with his feet on his head, stands in the pavilion with his hands in his hands, looking at the small pond of dozens of square meters and the slim lotus flowers in the pond, and his expression of interest jumps on his face.

He turned around and said to the man standing beside him with his head bowed and his eyebrows lowered, "Yang Jian, what time is it?" ”

Yang Jian, of course, is not the fictional Erlang God in the Romance of the Gods, but one of the eunuchs in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and Tong Guan Yiwen and Yiwu had a great influence on the government in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Wang Hao, and Liang Shizhong are called the "Xuanhe Six Thieves".

can make the eunuch so respectful, and the middle-aged man is naturally Zhao Ji of Song Huizong who "can do everything, but cannot be the king". It is still the early years of Xuanhe, and Yang Jian, who is the official to the Taifu, does not feel that he is a so-called traitor, looks up at the sky, bows down and salivates and laughs: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ji nodded, and asked another person, "Dao Chief, where is that immortal in the sky?" ”

The Taoist in Zhao Ji's mouth is about forty years old, wearing a Nanhua scarf, a clear face, a flowing white beard, and a Taoist robe, which gives people the characteristics of a fairy wind and bones.

Zhao Ji has always admired Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, obsessed with Taoism, and called himself "the leader of the Taoist Emperor", which is far more ridiculous than Zhu Houzhao, the self-proclaimed "generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses" more than 300 years later! But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Ji is superstitious and treats Taoists well, so he is very polite to the Taoists around him, and the Taoist in his mouth is one of the many monks.

Lin Lingsu! A famous alchemist who ruined his reputation in history!

Lin Lingsu is a native of Yongjia, Wenzhou, and his family background is modest. He read at the age of seven and could write poetry. It is said that Su Dongpo once saw it, was surprised by its cleverness, and asked his will, and replied: "Life is sealed, death is a temple, and it is not expensive." The marquis is famous, and the temple food is not separated from the ghosts. I am willing to be a god and give it to my ambition. ”

In October of the sixth year of Zhenghe (1116), Huizong drove the Taiyi East Palace, and saw the "Ballad of the Gods" made by Lin Lingsu recorded by Xu Zhichang, and its text was very happy with the wonderful words of the gods, which made Xu Zhichang lead Lin Lingsu into the view, and entrusted with important tasks from then on.

However, it is also this who is called Zhao Ji as the "Immortal Emperor", Xu Cai Jing and Wang Hao as "Zuo Yuan Xianbo" and "Wenhua Officials", and Lin Lingsu, the "Xianqing" who has been under the rule of Zuojun, and Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other powerful ministers After a short honeymoon period, they finally attacked each other.

As Huizong's favor in him became deeper and deeper, his power became more and more arrogant, and Lin Lingsu, who had no one in his eyes, not only looked at his political enemies Cai Jing and Tong Guan angrily, but also angered the then crown prince Zhao Heng group, coupled with his behavior of instigating Zhao Ji to worship Taoism and suppress Buddhism, he made countless enemies.

In May this year, when it rained heavily in Tokyo and flooded the city, Zhao Ji ordered Lin Lingsu to take the stage to worship God and pray for the water to recede, but the result was defeat. On the contrary, the crown prince ascended the city and bowed four times, and the water receded. That night, the water receded, and the people of the capital praised Zhao Heng's holy virtue, and Lin Lingsu was defeated.

Against the backdrop of a group of political enemies, Lin Lingsu retreated, so he begged for bones in the last chapter.

However, although Zhao Ji was displeased with Lin Lingsu's disrespect for the prince and his contempt for imperial power, this virtuous artist with Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, also believed in Lin Lingsu very much, so that the music about Lin Lingsu on the prince and courtiers was left behind.

It has been two months since the delay.

Zhao Ji's question made Lin Lingsu frown imperceptibly, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, which soon disappeared again. Lin Lingsu, as a famous Taoist leader in contemporary times, has his own graceful bearing and deep city mansion, even if he is unhappy or even apprehensive in his heart, he said quietly on his face: "Your Majesty, it is still doubtful whether the immortal in Emperor Maode's mouth is real. Right now, the appointment between the 'Shang Immortal' and Emperor Mao De is not far off, and Poor Dao also wants to meet that Taoist friend here! ”

"Daddy!"

Lin Lingsu seemed to be unconvinced, and Zhao Ji didn't care. This time, he didn't bring the minister and only called Lin Lingsu, who was difficult to protect, and he was obviously suspicious! Although he firmly believes in Taoism and plays "God's eldest son" and "immortal emperor" in the court, he has never seen the real so-called miracles, let alone the "miracles" in the mouths of Mao Deroufu and those forbidden soldiers!

This time I quietly left the palace to witness all this in person, as well as the young immortal in strange costumes!

Just when Zhao Ji fell into deep thought, he suddenly heard a voice like a silver bell from far and near, especially the coquettish cry, which suddenly made Zhao Ji show a doting smile: "Fujin, Duofu, you are here!" ”

came two women in fluttering palace clothes, one was born in a beautiful and refined year before he was young, and he was the most beautiful of Zhao Ji's many daughters, Zhao Fujin, the most beautiful of the Maode emperors; One is less than ten years old, pink carved jade, innocent, is Zhao Ji's most favored daughter Roufu Emperor Zhao Duofu.

Zhao Duofu ran to Zhao Ji with his skirt in small steps, pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "I thought my father would not leave the palace today?" I never thought you came secretly, I want to tell my mother and sister! [Note: Zhao Duofu's biological mother is Yisu Guifei, and the prince and princess of the Song Dynasty call the biological mother of the concubine "sister", and the queen of the concubine is "Niangniang" - find it here, it's really drunk! ] 】

Zhao Ji took Zhao Duofu's hand, tapped her nose and said, "I heard you say it is amazing, how can I not come and take a look?" Hehe! ”

Zhao Fujin clasped the fingers of both hands on his left waist, bent his legs and bent over to make a blessing, and said with a light smile: "The location here is very good, Daddy bothered!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Fujin, you have always been thrifty!" Last time, I spent all my money in order to buy many rare treasures from that immortal, and your other sisters in the palace all accepted your affection, and she also liked the mirror you gave to her mother, and praised your filial piety in front of me many times, and wanted to compensate you! This time, Daddy is in charge and will give you a thousand taels of gold! As for this house, I will give it to Shangxian as a temporary place to stay! ”

After all, the contact with Shen Hong last time was too ambiguous, and people were terrible! In order to avoid gossiping, Zhao Fujin also hopes to hand over this matter to others, such as Chen Yan of Liuyunzhai. However, since Zhao Ji cut off his beard, Chen Ji can only wait for news in the front hall!

Zhao Fujin breathed a sigh of relief, made a blessing again, and said with a smile: "Daddy handled it very properly, thank you Daddy!" ”
