Chapter 58: Seven Steps

Rain, scoop down.

Zhao Tan walked step by step in the rain of the imperial city, his face was expressionless, letting the rain flow between his hair and temples, and he was soaked and cold.

Walking to the steps of the Yanfu Palace, he said loudly: "Child Zhao Ta, please meet!" ”

The voice of Emperor Daojun came from the hall: "Second brother is here, come in." ”

Zhao Ta entered the hall and saw Zhao Kai standing next to the imperial book case at a glance, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Second brother, how can you get so wet?" Emperor Daojun's face was a little not good, he frowned and wanted to say something more, but when he saw that Zhao Ta was drenched, he only asked this sentence.

Zhao Ta saw the ceremony: "The child was in a hurry to enter the palace to see his father, and he forgot to bring an umbrella, so he got wet." ”

Emperor Daojun touched his beard and said meaningfully: "Second brother, this is not your character, you can plan and act before you go out with an umbrella, how can you forget to go out with an umbrella?" ”

"Daddy, I see that the second brother knew that he had made a big mistake and was flustered, so he even forgot about this kind of thing!" Zhao Kai said suddenly.

Zhao Ta glanced at him: "What did the third brother say?" ”

Zhao Kai smiled: "If I am not mistaken, it is not far from the second brother's palace to the imperial city, it has been raining outside for a while, and the rain should have risen when the second brother went out, how could he not bring an umbrella in this heavy rain?" It's not that there is a ghost in my heart, and I am lost in my soul! ”

"Second brother!" Emperor Daojun's gaze was like electricity and he looked at Zhao Ta.

Zhao Ta was a little dazed, looked at Emperor Daojun, and then at Zhao Kai, stretched out his hand to drench the rain on his body, and stood there for a while.

"Second brother, what are you doing today? Didn't you go to greet the envoys of the Liao State? "Daojun Emperor said.

"No, the child is eating tea in the house." Zhao Tamuran replied.

"Just eating tea??" Emperor Daojun's eyes were blazing.

"Child......" Zhao Ta was a little stunned and secretly glanced at Zhao Kai.

"Second brother, what can't you say?" Emperor Daojun's tone was dissatisfied.

Zhao Ta still looked at Zhao Kai, and his eyes swept to the side, suggesting that Zhao Kai avoided it.

Seeing this, Zhao Kai was immediately annoyed and said, "Second brother, what do you mean, let me go out?" It's raining outside, are you letting me stand in the rain? What is the devil in your heart that behaves like this? ”

Zhao Ta was silent, but his eyes were still watching Zhao Kai sweep out, at this moment the rain outside was becoming more and more urgent, and the drooping on the glazed tiles was almost a thick straight line of chopsticks, and it crackled on the ground.

Zhao Kai looked at the rain, felt that the bean-like raindrops on his body would definitely hurt sharply, and he was neutral when his chest was neutral, and said: "Second brother, you don't dare to say, I'll tell you for you, you met the people of the Liao State Mission in private today!" ”

Zhao Ta was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhao Kai and said suspiciously: "Third brother, you actually sent someone to stare at my mansion?" ”

Zhao Kai laughed: "Second brother, don't say that, how could I do such a thing, it's just that my subordinates passed by and saw it, I didn't believe it, how could the second brother, who has always been respected and honored, have a private meeting with Liao envoys?" I was about to hit the board on the spot, but he swore to the sky that he was not mistaken, so he sent someone to investigate, who knew that this investigation turned out to be ...... Indeed it is! ”

It was taboo for the courtiers to meet with the envoys sent by the enemy country in private, and the Liao had been acquiesced by the Manchu civil and military to the enemy country after Li Lianghei offered advice.

Even if Zhao Ta presides over the ring, it is not possible to have a private meeting in the house, if it is necessary, it needs to be reported to the Ministry of Rites, or directly invited.

Emperor Daojun was suspicious and more concerned about this kind of thing.

Zhao Ta looked at Zhao Kai and said in a flat tone: "Third brother, how do you know that it is the messenger?" ”

When Zhao Kai heard this, he hurriedly looked at Emperor Daojun: "Daddy, second brother, he admits it!" ”

Emperor Daojun frowned, his face was clouded, and he stared at Zhao Ta without saying a word.

Zhao Kai said with a smile: "Second brother, even if you are not a messenger, you are also a member of the Liao State Mission, what are your intentions in a private meeting, is it not that you are dissatisfied with your father and want to talk to the Liao people?" ”

Emperor Daojun's face became more and more unhappy, and he knocked the three-legged shampoo on the table with the barrel of his pen, and said, "Second brother, what do you say about this matter?" ”

Zhao Ta took a deep breath, glanced at Zhao Kai, and saluted Emperor Daojun: "Daddy, the son said that he is also filial, and those who are good at committing crimes are rare, not good at committing crimes, and those who are good at making trouble, there is no such thing." ”

Emperor Daojun: "Huh? ”

Zhao Kai's face changed: "Second brother, at this time, you also have to quibble, private meeting with Liao people, how can you say filial piety, how can you not commit it?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head: "Every time the Liao delegation enters Beijing, they all bring business trips, since Taizu opened the country, it is better to say, what I see is a Liao businessman." ”

Zhao Kai said: "The second brother quibbles, who knows if it is a Liao merchant or a spy!" ”

Zhao Ta looked at him and said: "It is said that the third brother is good at reading, don't you hear that everyone kisses him, he grows up, and the world is peaceful." It is also said that the gentleman has three joys, and the king of the world does not exist with him, his parents coexist, his brothers have no reason, one happiness is also, he looks up to the sky, he does not bow down to others, and the second music is also, and he is educated by the world's talents, and the three pleasures are also. ”

Zhao Kai snorted: "Second brother acts like this, but he does this, it's not self-deception!" ”

Zhao Ta ignored it again, and gently shook off the rain on his sleeve robe, and at this time he was standing on the ground with a wet stain, and the water line was already zigzag and flowing towards the temple gate.

He said to Emperor Daojun: "Daddy, the child saw the Liao merchants privately, regardless of the courtiers' guidance, brothers' suspicions, and the people's discussions. ”

After Zhao Ta finished speaking, he reached out and took out a small wooden box from his arms, which was the one that the old guard sent into the hall when Xiao Min left.

Zhao Ta held the wooden box and said, "Fortunately, I carried it in my arms and it was not soaked." ”

Zhao Kai looked at the wooden box with a puzzled expression, and suddenly launched a void for no reason in his heart, and Emperor Daojun frowned and said, "Second brother, what is this?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "The child knows that his father compiles the longevity of the Daozang, cultivates the Shenxiao Thunder Method, and lacks a lost Northern Emperor sect Taishang Ziwei Zhongtian Seven Yuan Sutra, the child has offered a reward to the merchants everywhere a few years ago, but there are those who have this scripture, sent to Tokyo, there will be a heavy reward, not long ago finally got the news, Liao has this scripture appeared, Liao businessmen also ask for a heavy reward, this convenience, so that the money with the mission to Beijing, is to today's child regardless of others' criticism, can't wait to summon over, buy it with a lot of money, brave the rain into the palace to dedicate to Daddy! ”

"What? Second brother, you say this is the Taishang Ziwei Sutra of the Northern Emperor faction? Emperor Daojun suddenly stood up from behind the imperial book case, and his face was slightly red.

Zhao Ta stepped forward and presented the wooden box: "The child ignores the rights and wrongs of others, and is anxious, just to present this scripture to his father immediately!" ”

Emperor Daojun hurriedly took the wooden box, opened it and saw that it was indeed the true scripture that had been lost in the troubled times, and couldn't help laughing and saying: "If it is this scripture, if it is this scripture, it is this scripture, my son is filial, and no one is out of it!" ”

Seeing this scene on the side, Zhao Kai's face turned pale instantly, and his chest seemed to be smashed by the eight-hundred-pound drum urn golden hammer, and he almost stood unsteady and fell to the ground.

There was a burst of confusion in his mind, just secretly thinking that his own Zhilan Yushu, literary and elegant, was comparable to Cao Zijian's general character, how could he meet such a treacherous person in the world, if he was allowed to take the position, wouldn't he have a seven-step poem on his own family, boiled beans and burned the flowers, and there was no way out of persecution?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Kai's face turned even paler, but when he suddenly saw Zhao Ta looking over, he immediately trembled, and shouted in his heart!
