Jujing Garden, located in the west of Lin'an City, is the royal garden of the Southern Song Dynasty, because it is outside the Qingbo Gate of Lin'an City, it is also known as the West Garden.

The area of the West Garden is very large. Outside the Qingbo Gate is the South Gate of the West Garden, outside the Yongjin Gate is the North Gate, and the water mouth of Liufufang is the Water Gate. There are nearly 20 halls and pavilions in the park, such as Huifang Palace, Yingchun Hall, Lanyuan Hall, Fanghua Pavilion, etc., and there are Song Xiaozong's imperial book plaques on the pavilions. The West Garden leads the water of the West Lake into the park, excavates an artificial river, and sets up bachelors and two bridges of Liulang. One of the "Ten Views of West Lake" in later generations, "Oriole in the Willow Waves" is here. Song Xiaozong, Song Guangzong, Song Ningzong three dynasties, the emperor often came to this garden to enjoy.

It is late autumn, the red leaves in the garden are like fire, the arch bridge is cold water, the pavilions and pavilions are all shrouded in the smoke and rain of the south of the Yangtze River. On the winding path of the corridor in the garden, the ironclad warriors let the rain and wind blow, standing still.

In the Fanghua Pavilion, Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, looked at the autumn water full of the lake, let the bleak wind and cold rain blow on his face, and looked into the distance, motionless.

Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring.

Autumn is strong, frost and wind are tight, but it can make people sober and know what they want to do and how to do it.

"Shi Xiang, I'm back."

Shi Miyuan's staff Yu Tianci, holding a brocade box in his arms, walked into the pavilion.

"I'm fasting, it's hard work. Is it done? ”

Shi Miyuan turned his head, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Shi Xiang, I am fortunate not to be dishonored. The 100 golden pills were all refined by the purple Qing people themselves. Just like last time, it's all top-grade. ”

Yu Tianci opened the brocade box, and the round red pills inside were fragrant, and they were very good-looking.

Shi Miyuan picked up a red pill, looked at it carefully, and then put it back in the box, nodding with satisfaction.

"Good. I'm afraid of fasting, the errand is good, and I'm bothered. ”

"Shi Xiang, this matter has to be cautious, and it needs to be two-pronged. On the queen's side, she still has to borrow weight. ”

Yu Tianci carefully put away the brocade box and placed it on the stone table in the pavilion.

Although Shi Miyuan is powerful, according to the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, although the prime minister has great power, he has no power to change the establishment, and Zhao Guicheng can be the replacement, but he still needs the full cooperation of the ruling ministers of the two governments and the forbidden army of the palace front. Without Yang Guizhi to speak, even Xia Zhen, the commander of the front division of the palace, would hesitate to wait and see.

"Yang Guizhi, she won't object. Do you think she's a person? Behind her is the entire Yang family. On the day Zhao Hong ascended the throne as the crown prince, the two of them had a big quarrel, and it became a fire and water. When Zhao Hong ascends the throne, Yang Guizhi will inevitably be left out in the cold, and the interests of the Yang family will be greatly damaged. She'll make the right choice. ”

has been dealing with Yang Guizhi for so many years, and Shi Miyuan knows her well.

The official family is cowardly, and he has been immersed in the palace for many years, and his ambition to gain power has long been formed. Otherwise, he would not have conspired to get rid of the powerful minister Han Yanxuan in the queen's office.

The bad relationship between Yang Guizhi and Zhao Hong is not important, what matters is Yang Guizhi's own power, and the interests behind the Yang family.

And these are what Yang Guizhi considers, and she is destined to be less reluctant to take the throne of Zhao Hong.

"Shi Xiang is far-sighted and convinced."

Yu Tianci praised sincerely.

Shi Miyuan's eyes are vicious, and he is indeed far behind.

Those unscrupulous children of the Yang family don't even have one who can be lifted, and they sleep all day long, arrogant and lascivious. Without Yang Guizhi's protection, the decline of the Yang family would be visible to the naked eye.

"It's too early to talk about this at this time, and there are some things that need to be taken care of. Those gentlemen of the Yang family...... Do you know how to do it? ”

Shi Miyuan hit the nail on the head and pointed straight to the point.

"Shi Xiang rest assured, I know how to do it."

Yu Tianci nodded again and again, he groaned slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"Shi Xiang, where the official family ......"

Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, was seriously ill and had not been to the court for more than a month. The court was boiling, saying that Zhao Kuo would not live long, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

"Official, maybe a month or two at most...... Let's not talk about that. ”

Sure enough, Shi Miyuan stopped talking again, and the topic returned to Zhao Hong.

"Fear of fasting, Zhao Hong's group, is there any movement?"

"Back to history, there is no change. Zhao Hong's uncle Zhou Ping slept all day long, Tian Yi and Xu Liang were deprecating, and the other took care of the born child. Nothing has changed. ”

Shi Miyuan sneered. What waves can some powerless and powerless ordinary people stir up?

"What about Zhao Hong? What does he do all day? ”

Although Zhao Hong does not have his own "undercover" by his side, Zhao Hong now lives in the palace, which is convenient for him to arrange for people to snoop.

"Back to history, Zhao Hong studied the scriptures and history every day, and studied with Zhendexiu. Every day, I greet the food and greet him, and I am very busy. ”

Yu Tianci smiled slightly, his expression relaxed.

As long as Zhao Hong doesn't do anything, he and Shi Miyuan feel quiet.

"Greet him, can he endure it? It's hard for him. Studying the scriptures and history, pondering the science carefully, just sharpening his donkey temper! ”

Shi Miyuan also had a smile on his face. He pondered for a moment, then continued to ask:

"Fear of fasting, the Jin Guo Post House is on fire, what do you think? Is there any news over there? ”

"Back to Shixiang, Jin Guo sent a note, just saying that the post house was on fire, and Zhao Hong was nowhere to be found, and there was no other explanation. In my opinion, Zhao Hong's edge is too exposed, and among the ministers of the Jin State, some people want to put Zhao Hong to death, but for some reason, Zhao Hong escaped. ”

Yu Tianci pondered and said.

As far as Zhao Hong's donkey temper is concerned, he is open-mouthed, and it is not surprising that he offended the Jin people, but it is a pity that Zhao Hong was not burned to death.

"The infinite Danqing hand in the world can't be painted with a sad heart. What happened to Zhao Hong in Tokyo City, so that he tore his face with the Jin people and made the Jin people kill him? And how did he escape from the Kingdom of Jin? ”

Shi Miyuan sighed with emotion, and seemed to be very incomprehensible to how Zhao Hong could get out of danger.

"Shi Xiang, Zhao Hong escaped, our trouble is coming."

Yu Tianci couldn't help but remind.

Shi Miyuan nodded, his eyes turned to the smoke and rain in a lake outside the court, and he continued to ask after a while:

"Fear, do you think Wusun is up to the task?"

"Shi Xiang, Wusun is at least the king of Shoucheng. Besides, at this point, I'm afraid there is no choice. ”

The King of Success!

Shi Miyuan nodded silently, and hesitated for a moment.

"Fear of fasting, what you say is very true. The arrow is on the string, and there is no reason not to send it. It is the most taboo to do things at both ends. ”

His gaze swept to the brocade box on the stone table, and Shi Miyuan's eyes gradually became cold.

"Fear of fasting, is there anything else?"

Yu Tianci was submissive on the side, Shi Miyuan's heart moved, and he asked softly.

Yu Tianci didn't leave, there must be something important.

Sure enough, Yu Tianci finally spoke.

"Shi Xiang, the recent "Jianghu Poetry Collection" of the famous Jingshi, I don't know if Shi Xiang has read it?"

"Yes. However, the old man was busy with political affairs, so he had no leisure and no time to study. ”

Shi Miyuan looked at Yu Tianci suspiciously.

"What's the matter, I'm fasting. "Jianghu Poetry Collection" has another hidden secret? ”

"Shi Xiang, please take a look."

Yu Tianci took out the book that had been prepared a long time ago and opened it for Shi Miyuan to see.

"There are few sunny days in spring on the ninety days, and there are many troubles in a thousand years...... It may not be that Zhu Shan can dominate, only because King Zheng owes Jinglun. There is also here: the autumn rain Wutong prince's house, the spring breeze willow Xianggong Bridge. This is a blatant ridicule of history, rumors and chaos in the government, and it is really ill-intentioned. ”

Yu Tianci kept turning to the folded position of the page, and pointed carefully.

Looking at it, Shi Miyuan's face slowly became difficult to look at, and a trace of blush appeared on his cheeks.

"Bold! insinuating the imperial court, reversing black and white, all of them are innocent! All should be decapitated! Ling Chi was executed! ”

Shi Miyuan roared angrily, trembling with anger. Yu Tianci was frightened and hurriedly whispered comfort.

"Shi Xiang, stop your anger! It is not surprising that these literati and writers of the Jianghu faction always express their feelings of admiration and seclusion and disdain for their careers, and they often criticize the evils of the times and ridicule the government and government. However, they are so bold this time, could it be that someone is behind it? ”

Since Zhao Hong was promoted to the crown prince, Shi Miyuan's temper has become more and more irritable. The nonsense of Liu Kezhuang and others on the "Jianghu Poetry Collection" made Shi Miyuan immediately go wild. The pressure on Shi Miyuan's body can be imagined.

"What do you mean...... Someone...... Egging behind it? ”

Shi Miyuan was startled, and the person calmed down a lot. He looked at Yu Tianci and instantly understood.

Yu Tianci will not report to himself just because of this little thing.

"Shi Xiang, according to the public newspaper, before the publication of the "Jianghu Poetry Collection", Zhao Hong went to Chen Qi's bookstore, and the two sides had a very happy conversation, and Zhao Hong also made an inscription for the title page of the poetry collection. Please take a look at the history! ”

Yu Tianci turned to the title page and showed Zhao Hong's "works" to Shi Miyuan.

"Sure enough, it's him!"

After reading it, Shi Miyuan's face turned pale and he scolded.

"There are talented people from generation to generation, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. Hum! It turned out that this dog thief slandered the old man. The heart is like a snake and scorpion, and its heart can be punished! ”

Compared with the anger just now, Shi Miyuan's demeanor has recovered a lot, and he seems to be much calmer.

"Shi Xiang, there is also Zhang Hui, the head of the Xuyi Army, who reported that Zhao Hong met with Yang Miaozhen, the commander of the Loyal and Righteous Army in Huaishui, was sneaky, and I don't know what to talk about."

Yu Tianci continued to report to Shi Miyuan, looking faintly excited.

He's just a doorman, and he doesn't have any official position. If the crown prince of the current dynasty is overthrown and a new monarch is established, his splendid future and the glory and wealth of the Yu family are just around the corner.

That's his ambition.

"Yang Miaozhen? What is Zhao Hong going to do? ”

Shi Miyuan immediately became nervous.

He is not afraid of the emperor or the ministers, and what he is most afraid of is side affairs. Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen are arrogant soldiers, he has always been gentle and appeased, even if these people kill officials and make trouble, he is also appeased and nurtured.

"Shi Xiang, Zhao Hong has a private meeting with Yang Miaozhen, and he has ill intentions, so he has to guard against it!"

Yu Tianci's words made Shi Miyuan nod.

Zhao Hong's various behaviors seem to be aimed at him. It seems that he has to act according to his own heart.

"What Zhao Hong and Yang Miaozhen said, there is no way to know. Moreover, there is no physical evidence...... If you don't go to court, what do you want to do with him? In case you are bitten madly by that mad dog, you will get into a commotion. ”

Shi Miyuan hesitated, remembering Zhao Hong's madness, and unconsciously frowned.

"Fear of fasting, is Li Zhixiao back?"

"Back to Shi Xiang, these are what Li Zhixiao found out, and he is waiting for Shi Xiang to be summoned in the mansion."

Sure enough, Shi Miyuan was already angry, and it was the first step to be mad at the Jianghu Poetry School, and the next step was to ......

"Good!"

Shi Miyuan nodded appreciatively and advised carefully.

"Let Zhao Rushu and Li Zhixiao handle this matter, and all those involved in the case will be arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department and interrogated strictly. Tell them that after the matter is over, the old man asked Li Zhixiao to go to Dali Temple to serve, and Zhao Rushu was reinstated. ”

"Yes, Shi Xiang. I'll do it right away. ”

Yu Tianci didn't linger any longer, he looked at the brocade box on the stone table, and said goodbye to Shi Miyuan and left.

"The old man is also going to the palace. The official family is urging. ”

Shi Mi walked over, picked up the brocade box, swept his gaze into the distance, and muttered to himself.

"Zhao Hong, the old man wants to see, what other tricks can you play?"

He has been in operation in the court for almost 20 years, and he is his henchmen from top to bottom. He didn't believe it, and he couldn't get a powerless prince of the dynasty!

Outside the Qingbo Gate, seeing Yu Tianci coming out of Jujing Garden, Du Er on the tea stall patted the shoulder of the man next to him, and the man blended into the bustling crowd and followed Yu Tianci's sedan chair.

Du Er waited for a while, only to see Shi Miyuan's sedan chair come out, sound the gong to open the way, and the forbidden army escorted him, so it was not majestic.

Du Er stood up, paid the difference, and slowly and leisurely, far away.
