When he went back to Beijing, Shen Ao got up early in the morning, couldn't bear to wake up Chun'er on the side, tiptoed out of bed, left her a note and said some goodbye, quietly put on his clothes, and left.

opened the door, a cold wind poured in, and Yang Jian was commanding the two forbidden troops to pack up.

This Yang Gonggong didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, he was used to shouting in the palace, and he knew what to bring and what not to bring when he traveled far away.

Shen Ao smiled and went out to say hello, Yang Jian said, "The Huagang boat is already waiting, without further ado, let's go." ”

Farewell to Hangzhou, the mist on the river, the return trip is different from when it came, at that time countless people sent the prime minister, but now it is deserted, Shen Ao got on the boat, first slept in the cabin, woke up at noon, had a meal, and chatted with Yang Jian on the deck.

"What happened in the capital now, and why His Majesty summoned me back?"

Yang Jian looked at the riverbank, sighed, and said, "What else can I do, Your Majesty knows that you have the most thorough understanding of the current situation, so he naturally asked you to go back and mediate the envoys of various countries." ”

Shen Ao thought to himself, envoys from various countries? The Liao people are almost on the side, they can't wait to sign a new alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, and they can get benefits by sending any one of them, as for Dali and Tubo, they are now all vassal states, so there is no need for Zhao Ji to worry, the Jin people are separated by the Liao State, and it is not a big trouble for the time being, so what else is extremely urgent?

Yang Jian saw Shen Ao's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "It's Western Xia, the Jin people said that they couldn't move the Great Song Dynasty, so they encouraged the Western Xia to attack the Khitans, and the Liao people hoped that my Great Song Dynasty would send troops, on the other hand, the Tubo Kingdom also had this idea." ”

Shen Ao understood, it turned out that due to historical changes, the pattern has changed again, the rise of the Jin State has made the Xixia people also ready to move, and the two countries of Liaoxia are also considered feuds.

In addition, the Western Xia and the Tibetan have been in dispute, and the Tibetan are afraid that the Western Xia will sit big after conquering the Liao State, and turn back to clean them up, so they also hope that the Great Song Dynasty will send troops.

This situation is really chaotic enough, Shen Ao scratched his head and said with a smile: "What is Your Majesty's plan?" ”

Yang Jian also smiled and said: "Your Majesty has no plans for the time being, just to wait for you to go back and make a decision, originally, Your Majesty hoped that you would go through a year of training, and then let you return to the court, but the current situation is urgent, and you can only follow power." ”

Shen Ao thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, he thought in his heart that it was good to be the emperor, and if something happened, he continued to be free in the palace, and a holy decree apportioned the matter to others! This is still Shen Ao, if it were someone else, it would probably be kneeling on the ground like a pug to thank you.

However, the general policy of Lianliao was opened by Shen Ao, and he could only settle it by himself, Liao, Jin, Tubo, and Western Xia, the interests of these four countries were involved with the Great Song Dynasty, which was really a headache.

Self-cultivation, family harmony, and governance! Self-cultivation Shen Ao is thinking about it, he was born to be a villain, and a gentleman can't count on it; The Qi family has done a good job, and the property in their hands has been at least 50,000 yuan this year, which is just the money on the table, those real estates, and a variety of business values are even higher, and the wife has a house, that is, they can sit and eat empty, and they will not worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.

But this governance gave Shen Ao a headache, he shook his head, didn't think about it, took one step at a time, anyway, he insisted on a principle, if he could take advantage of others, he must take advantage of others ruthlessly, and if he can suffer as little as possible, he will suffer as little as possible, such as Liao and Tubo urged the Great Song Dynasty to send troops this time; Hmph, there is no benefit, why should you fight this battle?

After a few tosses and turns along the way, on the seventh day of October, the weather had turned a little colder, Shen Ao and Yang Jian got off the boat, Yang Jian didn't care about letting Shen Ao go to see his wife, and asked Shen Ao and King Jin's father and daughter to enter the palace first.

When he arrived at Zhengde, he was even exempted from the statute of the audience, and directly asked someone to take the father and daughter of King Jin to the back court to see the queen mother, Yang Jian and Shen Ao went straight into the big house, Yang Jian pulled a little eunuch and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty took hundreds of officials to listen to the immortal preaching in Yanfu Palace."

Yang Jian nodded, Shen Ao listened, and said on the side: "Immortals? Wow, wait, I'm going to go back first. ”

Yang Jian said: "What are you going to do when you go back?" It's already here, so it's better to follow me to the republic. ”

Shen Ao said: "I want to take the ladies to see the immortals." ”

Yang Jian was speechless, pulled him and said, "Don't mess around, you have already started a family, why hasn't your surname changed at all?" Go with the house. ”

Yanfu Palace is the only palace located outside the Great Interior, which is Cai Jing flattered Zhao Ji with a luxurious palace, and Zhao Ji summoned five great eunuchs, including Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Jia Shen, He Su, and Lan Congxi, to supervise the construction respectively. Five palaces, you compete for wonder, I fight for skill, the pursuit of luxury, regardless of labor and wealth. The palace pavilions and pavilions in the palace are endless, the chiseled pond is the sea, and the spring is the lake. bronze sculptures such as birds and beasts, in a variety of postures; Jiabao famous trees and strange rocks and rocks, the poor and strange are extremely victorious, and they are more magnificent than the big inside.

Walking into Yanfu Palace, the first thing that appeared was a stone stele, the stone tablet was rare Zhao Ji's handwriting, Shen Ao stopped and looked at it, it turned out to be a Yanfu Palace Record, and secretly slandered in his heart, this bastard emperor will enjoy it, and he actually has the face to write an inscription, for fear that others will not know the luxury of his palace.

There are many halls, towers, pavilions here, and there are countless strange stones and trees in between, and there is a rare sense of relaxation when walking under the shade of this lush tree. Arrived at the Yanfu Palace, Yang Jian took the lead in to pray, and then came out to call Shen Ao in, Shen Ao walked into the hall, and found that there was a pungent smell of incense, the space in the hall was huge, and the officials on the left and right were sitting cross-legged on the futon, that Zhao Ji didn't know when to change his robe and sat on the top, the center of the hall was a white-haired and vermilion-faced old man, his words were very clear, his eyes were looking forward to the conversation, his mouth was like a river, and he didn't care when he saw Shen Ao entering the hall, just glanced lightly, and continued: "So only with a righteous heart can we seek the right way...... ”

Shen Ao saw that Zhao Ji listened with interest, so he didn't speak, his eyes wandered around the hall, and when he saw Zhou Zheng sitting on the left side with an official cross-legged, he quietly walked over, smiled and whispered to the official next to Zhou Zheng: "My lord, can you let me go, and go down...... Ha ha...... There are some things to say to my father-in-law. ”

The official was really speechless, so he had to move aside, Shen Ao stubbornly inserted between the two, Zhou Zheng looked at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

Shen Ao said: "Father-in-law, I just received the holy decree, so I returned to Beijing overnight, do they know the news?" ”

"Hey, father-in-law, why don't you speak? You speak! ”

"Uncle Yue, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call in a doctor...... Oh, by the way, please ask the gods to come and see your old man's home. ”

His voice was not loud, but it also affected many people around him, and they all looked sideways.

Zhou Zheng couldn't help him, so he had to say: "Ruo'er doesn't know yet." ”

Shen Ao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Great, I'll surprise them when the time comes!" ”

Shen Ao attracted more people's side glances, even Zhao Ji glanced at Shen Ao unhappily, warned him with his eyes, and then said to Lao Dao reverently: "The words of the immortals made me suddenly open, but the palace was quite restless a few days ago, is there something filthy in the palace?" ”

Lao Dao shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Queen Mother is also the reincarnation of an immortal, even if there is filth, how can she get close?" I'm afraid this is a catastrophe. ”

Zhao Ji was full of surprise: "Please also ask the immortals to guide the maze." ”

Lao Dao said: "The details of this, the poor Dao is not very clear, if this is the case, let the poor Dao wander a little, go and ask my senior brother how it is!" After that, he crossed his knees, the whole person seemed to freeze, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was talking to someone, but it seemed to be reciting a spell, and after a stick of incense, he opened his eyes sweating profusely, and said breathlessly: "The reason has been found, the Queen Mother has encountered a small disaster, but there is no need to worry, the Queen Mother has the blessing of God, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

Zhao Ji looked happy and said, "That's good, that's good......"

Shen Ao grinned and said: "It turns out that he is really an immortal, an immortal, and the student is polite, but I don't know who the immortal studied and how did he become an immortal?" ”

Lao Dao raised his eyes and looked at it, and said with a slight smile: "The poor road only has a little yin and yang, where is what kind of immortal, the adult laughed, dare to ask the adult with a high surname?" ”

Countless pairs of eyes looked sideways, and Shen Ao said calmly: "Since the immortals have Yin and Yang, why don't you guess it?" ”

Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Could it be Shen Aoshen, the champion of this department?" ”

Zhao Ji began to feel that Shen Ao was troublesome, and at this time, listening to the old Taoist saying Shen Ao's name, he also had a little more admiration in his heart, and said to Shen Ao: "Shen Qing's family don't mess around." ”

Lao Dao said: "Your Majesty, Master Shen is a Wenqu star descending to earth, and the poor Taoist looks at his face, and there is a hidden purple qi coiled, and he will be a great talent in the future." ”

Shen Ao was happy in his heart, it turned out that he had become a songstar, what kind of immortal can talk, but he pretends to be a ghost and treats the emperor as an idiot, which is a bit unforgivable, immortals, immortals, if you fool the emperor, who will fool the buddy, isn't this smashing people's jobs?

Shen Ao smiled and said: "The immortal is ridiculous, but the student has a question, since I am Wenquxing, who is Wenquxing's father?" ”

Lao Dao is an old Jianghu after all, and he said: "Bachelor Shen's father and mother are naturally the parents who gave birth to you and raised you." ”

Shen Ao said seriously: "Then may I ask the immortals, are the students' parents also immortals?" ”

His entanglement of breaking the casserole to the end did not bore Lao Dao, and he still said calmly: "It's okay." ”

Shen Ao said: "This is even more strange, since they are immortals, why did my parents die early and not live a hundred years?" ”
