On the twenty-fifth day of the twenty-eighth year of the Heavenly Sage, there were five days left before Chinese New Year's Eve.

At this time, the imperial court had already taken a holiday, and the Great Song Dynasty was different from other dynasties, which generally did not take a holiday until after Chinese New Year's Eve, but the Great Song Dynasty generally began to take annual holidays as early as the twentieth day of the lunar month.

In addition to the Yamen of Bianjing Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who had to maintain the continuous Bianjing Mansion, the rest of the Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty were sealed and closed.

But it was such a coincidence that the ship transporting Ding Nie finally came down the Bianhe River today.

When he entered the city, he didn't alarm anyone, and the secret guard quietly brought people into the palace.

When Zhao Jun met this "old friend" in the imperial garden, it was already close to noon.

Zhao Jun simply asked someone to take Ding Nie to the Spring Breeze Pavilion in Taihe Pool.

Here, the imperial dining room prepared a table of good meals and sent them over.

And Zhao Jun himself took Wang Huaien to take the lead to the Spring Breeze Pavilion.

The Taihe Pond in winter is cold and frozen.

In the summer, the pond is full of lotus flowers, and at this time, only a few dead branches and leaves remain.

The water was already frozen.

Zhao Jun took Wang Huaien and sat quietly at the Spring Breeze Pavilion in the center of the lake, occasionally a cold wind blew, and the icy cold air suddenly brought the chill.

However, the spring breeze pavilion was already rising, and the chill of the future attack dissipated.

Four stoves were placed around, constantly burning and emitting heat.

On the stone table in the middle of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, hot water is boiling on a charcoal stove, and a set of excellent mutton fat and Tianyu tea sets are placed on the table on the side.

At this moment, Zhao Jun was slowly picking up the jade pot and pouring tea into one of the jade cups.

In an instant, smoke rose and the smell of tea filled.

The bursts of tea fragrance refreshes people's hearts and spleens, making people feel warm.

"Well, this tea is good, what's the name?"

Zhao Jun took a sip of tea, the taste was mellow and sweet, so Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the name of the tea.

Wang Huaien, who was waiting next to him, immediately replied: "Emperor, this is the famous tea in Xiangbei that Feiyun Commercial Bank took back in Xiangbei - Enshi Yulu, if the emperor likes it, the slave maid will order it to go down and let them send more to the palace every year." ”

After taking a sip again, Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, let them send more to the palace." ”

"No!"

Wang Huaien hurriedly agreed.

"Oh, by the way, where are they going?"

Zhao Jun put down the teacup and asked again.

Wang Huaien looked at the sky, and then replied: "The palace that I entered half an hour ago, it stands to reason that it should be almost here at this time, right?" The slave and maid are urging again? ”

At this time, Zhao Jun raised his eyes and glanced at the passage connecting the Spring Breeze Pavilion to the shore, then shook his head and said lightly:

"No need, people are already here."

It turned out that at the end of the passage at this time, there was already a Han general escorting the embarrassed Ding Nie walking towards this side.

Seeing that the target was coming, Zhao Jun immediately instructed Wang Huaien: "Wang Companion." ”

Wang Huaien immediately replied: "Emperor, the slave is here!" ”

"Light the fire!"

"No!"

Wang Huaien, who responded, immediately ordered the palace people on the side to set fire to the timber piled up on the side of the passage, and deliberately surrounded the wood with bricks to block the wind.

After the igniter ignited, a raging fire ignited on the ice.

And at this time, the two Han generals had already escorted Ding Nie to the Chunfeng Pavilion in the center of Taihe Pool.

Looking at Ding Nie, who was dressed in brocade clothes in the past, but now he was only wearing a thin underwear, dirty, as if he hadn't cleaned it for a long time, and there was a strange smell on his body, but Zhao Jun just sat calmly and looked at him and said calmly:

"Captain Ding, long time no see."

Ding Nie, who had been dragged all the way, raised his head when he heard the voice, and looked at Zhao Jun's face in front of him, his eyes, which had no look, suddenly ignited with rage and began to struggle.

"Zhao Jun'er! The old man is going to kill you! The old man wants to kill you, it's all you! It's all the old man you killed who ended up like this, and the old man wants to kill you! ”

Ding Nie struggled desperately, but for many days, he had only been provided with food that barely kept him from starving, but he had no strength to break free from the two strong Han generals.

Zhao Jun just quietly watched him struggle there, without saying a word, until Ding Nie gradually lost his strength and couldn't shout out his voice.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let him go." ”

The two Han generals immediately looked at each other, not knowing whether to let go of this dangerous prisoner in front of His Majesty.

However, at this time, Zhao Jun raised his head and looked at them coldly, and said word by word: "I said, let go-go-him!" ”

The two didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately let go of the hands that controlled Ding Nie and retreated.

Ding Nie, who had lost his strength, sat slumped on the ground, his eyes were still staring at Zhao Jun in front of him viciously, but his mouth was no longer able to scold again.

Zhao Jun glanced at him and said:

"Tired of scolding? Then get up and have a cup of tea, don't waste it. ”

After that, without waiting for Wang Huaien to get started, he personally picked up the jade pot and poured a full cup of tea into the teacup, and then pushed it to the opposite place on the opposite side of the table.

Ding Nie gritted his teeth, used the last strength of his body to get up, reluctantly sat on the stone bench and picked up the tea, regardless of the hot tea, drank it all in one gulp, his eyes still staring at Zhao Jun viciously.

The tea poured into his throat, warming his dry throat and finally making a sound again.

"Zhao Junxiaoer, what exactly do you want to do?!"

Ding Nie asked coldly.

Zhao Jun still looked calm, reached out and snatched the empty teacup from his hand and filled it again, then pushed it back, and said indifferently:

"What do I want to do? Hehe, don't want to do anything.

Captain Ding, how many years has it been since we were separated last time? ”

Ding Nie couldn't figure out what Zhao Jun meant, but after recalling it, he replied:

"It has been more than five years since you got married and returned to the fiefdom in October of the twenty-third year of the Heavenly Sage."

"It's been more than five years!"

Zhao Jun's eyes were full of memories, and his tone was full of emotion.

"Five years ago, I was just a local vassal king, and I couldn't even return to Beijing without a will, but you, Ding Nie, were the grand lieutenant of the Great Song Dynasty, and the head of the military attache was in charge of most of the military power of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was majestic!

It was I at that time, the war horse was robbed by you, and you only ended up with a painless punishment.

What kind of person was the captain back then?

However, five years later, I became the emperor, and Ding Taiwei became my prisoner.

People and things are also human and wrong.

This time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, and the accidents in the world are really incomprehensible, are you right? Captain Ding? ”

Listening to Zhao Jun's words, Ding Nie gritted his teeth and snorted coldly:

"Zhao Junxiaoer, if you want to kill the old man, just do it, don't humiliate the old man here!"

Zhao Jun slowly turned the teacup in his hand, didn't look at Ding Nie, and seemed to say to himself:

"How could I be humiliating Captain Ding?

How powerful is Taiwei Ding, colluding with the Huns, breaking through the internal barriers, making the family like a bamboo all the way, and also breaking through my Bianjing Imperial Capital.

The Ding family is really powerful, and they have ruined most of the Great Song Dynasty with their own strength, who dares not to admit that the Ding family is powerful! ”

"Zhao Jun Xiaoer, what do you mean!"

Maybe it was because he drank two cups of tea and had some strength in his body, Ding Nie slapped the table and stood up, looked at Zhao Jun angrily and asked.

Zhao Jun took a sip of the cup of fragrant tea unhurriedly, leaned back, and poured on the chair that was specially moved and said indifferently:

"What can I mean, I'm just recalling Captain Ding's great achievements and helping Captain Ding."

"You ......" (End of Chapter)
