Last year, outside the Yuhang Gate, the snow was like a poplar flower.

At the end of spring this year, the poplar flowers are like snow, and they still haven't returned home.

As the north gate of Lin'an City, Wulin Gate was built in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty, and is the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Song Gaozong Zhao built the capital of Hangzhou, and called it "Yuhang Gate", but the folk still called it Wulin Gate.

Because Wulin Gate is the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, it has always been a place where businessmen gather, the trees are like clouds, the tourists are like weaving, bustling, the shadows are mixed, and the Yuan Festival is extraordinary.

In a restaurant near the gate of Wulin Gate, three young scholars of the same age sat around the table by the window, several of them were dressed in long robes, neatly dressed, neither shabby nor luxurious, and several people talked while eating, and the relationship seemed to be good.

"It's a big circle outside, it's better to be in Lin'an City!"

The man who spoke was named Zhang Jin, twenty-six years old, with a long horse face, tall and thin, sitting on a low stool, somewhat aggrieved by his long legs.

"Yes! It's great to be able to catch up with the New Year's Eve! ”

Another round-faced man, Zhu Liang, has an ordinary figure, but his skin is fairer.

"Lin'an City is better, but the people of the Great Song Dynasty from all walks of life are not having a good time."

Another handsome and cold young man whispered, and he took his glass and drank it slowly, thoughtfully.

"Zhou Ping, Zhou Daguan, don't always worry about the country and the people, let yourself be so tired. There are many injustices in the world, how much can you manage? Let's take care of your stomach first. ”

The horse-faced Zhang Jin shook his head and continued to eat.

From childhood to adulthood, jealousy and hatred are like hatred, and he has the world in his heart, Zhou Ping is like this.

"Yes! Along the way, it seems that corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been fighting for many years, and how can the common people have a good life. The world is as dark as a crow, so you can look away. ”

Zhu Liang, who had a round face, was also relieved by Zhou Ping.

Sometimes it's painful to be too ambitious, to be ambitious.

The three of them traveled to Jinling, and by the way, they scattered their hearts, but what they saw was that corrupt officials were rampant and people's livelihood was withering, which was really heartwarming.

"Having said that, it's always uncomfortable in my heart!"

Zhou Ping drank tea, his words were soft, and he seemed to be a little unwilling.

Although he knew that he couldn't change anything, Zhou Ping still felt resentful and uncomfortable.

"Shi Miyuan is authoritarian, groveling to the outside, and the people are preoccupied internally, and the people are not happy, what can you do? You and my brother have no way to serve the country, and it is difficult to pay for their ambitions, so we can only go with the flow. ”

Zhang Jin said helplessly, and drank a glass of bitter wine.

"Forget it, what bullshit fame, what for the country and the people! After eating and drinking, go back to accompany your family, perform your duties, and settle your destiny! ”

Zhu Liang added a sentence self-deprecatingly, touched the wine glass with Zhang Jin and Zhou Ping, and drank it separately.

The three of them were full of worries, and they kept drinking, and the atmosphere became dull for a while.

“…… The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman Jiangzhu, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, a pot of turbid wine......"

Zhou Ping saw that the two friends were drinking red-faced, and just about to persuade him to drink, an artist's singing voice came, which was impassioned, which made Zhou Ping and several people stunned.

"Who wrote that?"

"I don't know!"

"I've never heard of it!"

The three of them looked at each other, all of them ignorant, and Zhou Ping called out to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, do you know whose new song this is?"

is so bold and open-minded, it is really heartbreaking.

The shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile, and his eyebrows flew and he introduced:

"The big officials are from out of town. This is the song "Xijiang Moon" created by Jeguo Gong, which has now spread all over Lin'an City. There is also a song "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which is even more widely circulated. Why don't you call it over and play two songs? ”

"Jekook? That Je Kok Gong? ”

Zhou Ping was stunned again.

Je Guo Gong? It can't be that impertinent bastard, right?

"Great official, which Jiguo Gong can it be, it is Zhao Hong, the prince of the current official family!"

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Him?"

The surprise in Zhou Ping's eyes was even worse.

"Big official, do you want to call someone over and play two songs for you?"

"Then it's going to be a troublesome shopkeeper!"

Zhou Ping nodded. He wanted to hear what kind of two tunes this bastard could make.

"Zhou Ping, is it Xiuniang's Zhao Hong?"

Zhang Jin asked softly.

Zhou Ping nodded lightly and did not say a word.

Zhang Jin and Zhu Xian glanced at each other and said no more.

Zhou Ping's sister Zhou Xiuniang is the concubine of Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo. However, Zhao Hong treats Zhou Xiuniang badly, and Zhou Ping also hates this so-called brother-in-law. I just didn't expect that this Zhao Hong still has some talent.

Several folk artists came over and played "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Xijiangyue" again. Zhou Ping and the three of them were silent.

"The shopkeeper, this Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong, is now very famous?"

Zhou Ping opened his mouth and asked what was going on.

I haven't been back for two or three months, and so many new things have happened.

"Big official, I won't tell you, if you want to say that the most beautiful person in Lin'an City now is this prince! The words he made were on Fengle Building, and there were countless people who went to watch it every day, and the business of Fengle Building was good! If you buy one or two tabloids, you will know about them! ”

The shopkeeper said excitedly, his eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

A tabloid was in hand, and several people were shocked when they read it.

"Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain Dance Silver Snake, Original Chi Wax Elephant...... How can this Jeguo Gong have such talent? ”

The sweat on Zhang Jin's head came out.

"The soul of the soldier is gone, and the soul of the country is empty...... The eternal boy is let go! Hit the nail on the head, making people's blood boil! ”

Zhu Liang shook his head again and again, most of the wine was awake, he looked at Zhou Ping, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

How could such a hot-blooded and gall-loving man be a bastard who abandoned his wife and wife?

"Don't you see the following? Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is colorful in the room, and the red light shines on the sky, like the middle of the sun. When I sleep during the day, dragon scales loom on my body. ”

Zhou Ping pointed to a place in the tabloid.

"Evil words confuse the public, and have ill intentions. It seems that someone is building momentum for this heir of King Yi! ”

"Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong, I'm afraid there will be opponents in the future."

Zhang Jin and Zhu Liang said it one after another, and both of them raised their glasses and cups.

"Don't drink it! Let's go back. ”

For some reason, Zhou Ping's heart was on fire and a mess.

"What's the hurry? One more drink! ”

Zhu Liang and Zhang Jin drank two cups in a row, and then together with Zhou Ping, they staggered downstairs, and sang in harmony:

“…… Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing...... Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain...... The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times...... Haha......"

The shopkeeper looked at the backs of several people and shook his head secretly.

Such pretentious, generous and tragic young people, Lin'an City is getting fewer and fewer.

It's dusk, in the Jeguo Mansion, in the study.

When he came back from Wu's mansion, Zhao Hong was preoccupied, pacing back and forth uneasily, his brows furrowed.

The situation is more serious than he imagined, Zhao Hong, a fool, has completely offended the Wu family, and there is no room for recovery.

His eldest brother's punch was full of hatred, and there was hatred in his eyes.

"Your Highness, do you really want to bring Madame back?"

Li Tang asked softly with a dark face.

He could also feel the boredom in Zhao Hong's heart.

"Of course, I have to take it back, and I don't have to live with anyone. Perhaps, there is room for redemption. ”

Zhao Hong frowned, but there was still hope in his heart.

"Your Highness, having said that, Madame, may not be the same lady she used to be."

Li Tang said cautiously.

"You mean, Mrs. Hongxing is out of the wall, and she already has a good match?"

Li Tang's careful thoughts were all on his face.

A young woman from a good family, who has been away from home for more than a year, may not be alone.

People always have needs, and maybe he has been put on a green hat. He didn't care, though.

For him, all the women he used to have nothing to do with him now, they are all strangers.

In that case, why care if your head is green or not.

"Your Highness already knows, is it necessary to get Madame back?"

Li Tang smiled with a black face, his eyes full of surprise.

can endure what others can't bear, His Royal Highness has a broad mind, which is really impressive.

"Get it back! Not only to find, but also to make a big noise. Didn't someone say that Mrs. went to Jinling, send someone to Jinling to find it, and let the people who care know it! ”

Zhao Hong subconsciously felt that his wife, would not come back.

According to the Wu family's attitude towards him, it is possible that they know about the Wu family, and they do not intend to let the Wu family have anything to do with him anymore.

What happened to make him and the Wu family reach such an irreconcilable point.

The purpose of retrieving the Wu family is just to improve the relationship with the queen Yang Guizhi, so that he can become the prince smoothly, so that Shi Miyuan can no longer "change the tanuki for the prince".

The reason why he didn't want to make a splash in the tabloids was because he was worried about Wu's reputation.

He suddenly remembered the story of the immortals on the Fuyang River in later generations.

"Ms. Yingxia: The separation of men and women in troubled times is ordinary, and the relationship between you and a certain gentleman, as well as the soft clothes, cash, money, deeds, etc., are not a problem, but your mother and children miss it very much, and beg for an address. Sincerely, Duff. ”

In a fit of anger, Mr. Duff made the scandal public, which made Ms. Yingxia lose face, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two.

He couldn't do such a stupid thing. Not to mention the Wu family's disgrace, the Wu Mansion will also be embarrassed, and Yang Guizhi will also be enraged, and the situation will be even worse at that time.

If you do stupid things that harm others and are not beneficial to yourself, don't do them impulsively.

"Your Highness, the villain will immediately arrange for someone to go to Jinling and bring the lady back."

Li Tang hurriedly asked for an order.

"Li Tang, this matter will be handed over to you, and someone will be arranged to do it after the Yuan Xi Festival."

Zhao Hong nodded and changed the subject.

"I asked you to inquire about the details of that little lady Yan, have you found it?"

Yan Chun is so interested in Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong also feels that this Yan Chun is mysterious and secretive, and he is also investigating the details of the other party.

After all, he doesn't really wake up every day by his own handsomeness.

"Your Royal Highness, I only found out that Yan Chun was a member of the Huainan Gaoyou military family, and her parents died, and she and a distant uncle were at home, that is, the shopkeeper Xu. There is no news yet on the rest. ”

Li Tang's words made Zhao Hong frown slightly.

The Gaoyou Army is already on the border of Chuzhou, and over the years there have been wars, displaced people, and many dead and wounded. Yan Chun is from the Gaoyou Army, which means that he can't distinguish the details and authenticity.

"Your Highness, it's not that the villain is talkative, you and that Yan Chun, you are not suitable."

Li Tang said cautiously with a black face.

"Why is that?"

Zhao Hong couldn't help but be stunned.

He is a dignified prince of the Song Dynasty, young and golden, dignified, innocent, Wen Taowu and strategic, not bad there, how can he not accept that Yan Chun?

"Your Highness, that Yan Chun is rude and willful, vulgar and rude, and he hasn't read much, so he is not a good match for you."

Li Tang had the courage to say it.

Zhao Hong looked at Li Tang and didn't say anything.

The first encounter between a man and a woman is filled with incomprehensible impulses and throbbing.

Could it be that he is also a fan of the authorities?

"Your Highness, although Madame is rude and jealous, after all, she is from a big family, and she is much stronger than that Yan Chun. As for Xu Ji, her heart is not right, and she is definitely not a good match for His Royal Highness......"

Li Tang wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhao Hong immediately urged up.

"If you have something to say, don't talk about it!"

The eyes of this kid flashed on his dark face, and he was holding back a stomach full of bad water at first sight.

"Your Highness, as a villain, you better hurry up and bring the Zhou family back. She has a good temperament, is gentle and virtuous, and has been with you for so long. ”

Sure enough, Li Tang mustered up the courage to say it.

"Now?"

Zhao Hong hesitated for a while. If you take it back now, will it happen that the child dies early two months after birth, as in history?

"Your Highness, now that the Wu family is not here, Xu Ji has a bad intention, and just took the Zhou family back to the house. Zhou has your flesh and blood. The royal heirs are difficult, but the royal grandson is the barrier for His Royal Highness to live and live. ”

Li Tang's words were like thunder hitting the cover of the heavenly spirit, making Zhao Hong scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

The emperor is his biggest barrier!

It seems that he has to take over the precious woman's inheritance left by his predecessor, and he directly likes to be a father.

"Your Royal Highness, the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is thin, and His Royal Highness has no heirs. If the Zhou family gives birth to Lin'er for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness's position as the prince will be able to sit down-to-earth, and he may even be promoted to the crown prince. The pros and cons of it, don't talk too much about the villain. ”

Li Tang said eloquently, Zhao Hong's forehead was sweating, and the cold wind blew, and his heart was excited.

There are pros and cons to these romantic debts, no matter what kind of debts, he, the "man behind the pot", has to continue.

"Let's go!"

Just do it, Zhao Hong immediately stood up.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Where do you say you're going? Ask while knowing the answer! ”

Zhao Hong didn't look back, and stepped forward.

He not only has the wife of the Wu family, but also has the concubine of the Zhou family.

Although the Song Dynasty practiced monogamy and paid attention to the right family, it was not opposed to taking concubines, and the status of concubines was lower than that of the main wife and higher than that of slaves.

A wife, a concubine and a beautiful girl, plus two delicate maids, this Zhao Hong, but she is really romantic.

What a good body! What a good kidney!

"Your Highness, you should have gone a long time ago! Without an heir, everything Your Highness has done is in vain! ”

Li Tang chattered, and Zhao Hong was secretly frightened. His good brother Xu Liang also said the same.

The royal heir is difficult, and with the imperial grandson, his position as the prince is stable, and the matter of the prince is not impossible.

With the imperial grandson, keeping the imperial grandson may be a huge help.

Subconsciously, Zhao Hong felt that he was a little ugly and dirty.

However, in the current situation, there is no way to do it. Even if he doesn't go to Zhou, Zhou will come to him because of the child.
