Chapter 47 Confucianism

Empress Cao is a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, but she pays great attention to the rules, and the palace people come forward to give a salute before pouring a glass of sake, the wine is clear and transparent, without any impurities, and it is the best in the tribute wine.

The emperor is wearing a red body tattooed dragon today, the golden dragon body surrounds him, and it is very polite to look at it, he suffers from heart disease, and from time to time his heart will ache for an hour, and the pain is so painful that he faints, so the tribute wine in the palace is taken from the peach gum fruit wine, and the entrance is sweet and refreshing.

The emperor raised his glass and drank five cups in a row with his ministers before he began to talk about various things, such as calling Princess Fukang, who was young and was held in the emperor's arms and rubbed his face.

Princess Fukang is very young, only seven or eight years old, and she already knows the rules very well, but she often accompanies the queen's knees, and the queen taught her, and now she looks less dexterous than she is.

The emperor didn't care about this, he just teased her crystal nose to play, and he didn't see any greasy on it, but picked up crispy plum candy for her to eat, plum candy was made privately in the palace, and some people imitated it, but the taste was far less delicious than in this palace.

The hall chief Qin and Li Chun were present, Li Chun was dressed in a big red robe, sitting in the distance, drinking alone on the big bluestone, he was like this, as the head of the forbidden army, he has always been like this, there are guards around, but he seems to be guarding the dynasty and the world.

The palace chief Qin is also old, standing not far behind the imperial concubine, quietly, and does not speak. Qi Shangqian stepped forward and told the Praetorian Guard warrior of the front division of the palace to make arrangements, the palace chief Qin only waved his hand, Qi Shangqian nodded and retreated, and sat down in the Wanjianmen banquet, he was originally a disciple of Wanjianmen, and Xiao Fa saluted, Xiao Fa also contacted him, I haven't seen him for a long time, he is also a disciple of Wanjianmen, Xiao Fa is the head disciple, and he will be the head of Wanjianmen in the future, and he has always been an affinity to win over the people of the front division of the palace.

Four Confucian scholars dressed in plain clothes arrived, went up to the front of the palace, bowed to the emperor, and also saluted the emperor and queen.

Confucianism walked in the forefront of the university scholar Sun Fu, who had lectured for eight years in Taishan, Sun Fu was more than half a hundred years old, and he was already a dying old man, still holding a cane in his hand, and let people walk over from afar.

After Shi Jie died, it was others who helped him walk, he trembled, gave a salute to the imperial concubine and the queen, walked to the seat under the emperor, and sat down with the help of someone.

This is the grandson of Sun Wu, who speaks directly in the country, is very famous in Taixue, and has been a descendant of Confucius, Kong Daofu, and is generally highly respected.

After Kong Daofu's death, Confucianism in the literary world is the only ancestor who is still alive in the world.

As many people should be his teacher, how many characters will be under his command, but Sun Fu is very knowledgeable, he has been lecturing and discussing the Tao all his life, and among the figures in the literary world, many people with strong martial arts just listen to lectures under him. The emperor was very polite and raised the wine glass in his hand to drink with Sun Fu.

Confucianism is intricately entrenched in the Great Song Dynasty, the power is huge, not only in the country, but also in the folk has existed for thousands of years, often rest the way of Confucius and Mencius, and serve the Confucian family masters of the past dynasties as the main body.

Sun Fu is half a hundred years old, his sideburns and beard are all white early, his eyes are slightly closed, and the people who stand up to salute are also talented officials in the country, but there are not many people in the rivers and lakes.

"The post of the Confucian Mansion has already been sent, but it is that the Confucian family is seriously ill, and he is on the bed every day, and the famous doctor in the city takes care of the medicine stone every day, so the Confucian family does not plan to come. Zhang Mao stood beside the emperor and filled the emperor with fruit wine left and right.

"It's okay, it's just that you go in person, talk to the Confucian Mansion, take the imperial doctor in the palace to Chaoping City, and all the medicine stones you need will come back and report them to be sent, and the boss has to make him healthy." The emperor said, his voice was very soft, Zhang Mao bowed, nodded and stepped aside, beckoned a small palace person, and said in his ear, the little palace person nodded and went down.

The imperial concubine looks much better today, but it is not advisable to drink more water, listening to the emperor's words, she didn't eat a glass of wine, just ate the berries peeled by the slave maid, each one was sent into her mouth, her mouth was small, and it made people feel that she was struggling to chew the fruit.

"Lady, this is a cake made of newly picked golden osmanthus in the palace, the lady is weak, eat more. The concubine's maidservant brought her a new plate of cakes, which were made of the flowers of the golden laurel tree in the palace.

The imperial concubine pinched a piece and opened her mouth to eat it, the osmanthus fragrance was rich and the sweetness was moderate.

The hall chief Qin looked at the concubine who raised her white neck slightly, turned her head sideways, beckoned, and several palace guard warriors came over, and then left in a hurry, I don't know where I went.

The palace chief Qin has always guarded the safety of the imperial concubine, not the emperor's order, but when he came to Bianjing, he asked the emperor for the position of the palace secretary.

At the banquet, Ayara floated up, there were dancers dancing, the bell music rang, the dancers were graceful, they were all delicate beauties from Jiangnan, holding red lanterns in their hands, dancing.

Wanjianmen and Shenhuang Kendo two descendants are each other's wine, from time to time to compliment each other two sentences, Wanjianmen has always been arrogant, their disciples are tens of thousands, all over the north and south of the river, some go far away to the Northern Liao, some go together, everywhere chivalrous and righteous, in the rivers and lakes, the reputation is excellent, black and white both have face, most people hear the name of Wanjianmen, can always say two sentences.

As for Shen Huang Swordsmanship, it is the Taoist system of dozens of people, many years ago, the rivers and lakes are famous, it is rumored that Shen Huang Sword is very superb, dozens of people, everyone is a first-class master, not to mention the head of the Dao Huo Kuo, the sword is a god, and he was not born, but he was just guarding the old acacia surrounded by ten people in the door, cultivating his state of mind.

When it comes to the famous sword family on the rivers and lakes, most of them will mention these two schools, and then mention others, only the Zhou family, the sword family, is left, and nothing else is really on the table, either there are few talents, or there is really no name.

There are people in the distance again, the banquet is about to be halfway, and they are only coming now, but there are four people, all dressed in white, looking at the figures, they can see that they are two men and two women, and some people on the rivers and lakes just see it, so they talk to the knights they are familiar with.

Xiao Fa of Wanjianmen also squinted, his eyesight was excellent, and he could see that there were two women, a young man, and an old man.

The emperor on the throne raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, and the imperial concubine sitting next to him also saw the person from a distance, beckoning from afar, and the plum pink beauty smiled.

"Qingyun Mountain, Ling Tianmen. Huo Qiongshe, the descendant of Shenhuang Sword Dao, said lightly, his hand turned into a fist, and the sword on his back seemed to respond to him, trembling incessantly.

Nan Huai Jin walked behind his senior brother, this time he came to Bianjing City, it was already two months later, the emperor's birthday banquet, the master's intention was to go down the mountain, but it was not just to participate in the banquet, Nan Huai Jin couldn't wake up when he fell asleep, often fell asleep, it was four or five days, that is, Lu Weisheng's martial arts were peerless, and he also knew a little about medical science, and he couldn't find out the cause, so she asked her to go to the mountain to teach, Wang Chi together, and went down the mountain to the palace to find the secret.

What the master means is that in the past days, this situation has become more and more serious, but it seems that there are some signs of poisoning, as for how to be poisoned, Lu Weisheng does not know, there are also famous doctors in the palace, you can ask the reason.

Coincidentally, the emperor's invitation was sent, but it was a little less embarrassing, after all, some time ago, Lu Weisheng made a big fuss in the imperial city, even if he came to the door and slapped the emperor in the face, but at this moment he came to ask the emperor's imperial medical bureau for medical advice.

Nan Huaijin tied her hair, did not wear the beaded veil on her face, and did not have exquisite makeup, but she had a beautiful face that was exposed in the eyes of people. Getting closer, many people took a breath of cool air, they had never thought about how beautiful the beauties in the world would be, the imperial concubine was already stunning, and the delicate person in front of her was indeed immature, and she was so beautiful that she couldn't say anything clearly.

The young man next to him was also extremely handsome, walking in front with his waist straight, holding a small wine jar from nowhere.

The other woman is also very smart and beautiful, although it is far from the previous one, but she is gentle and lovely, walking at the end, the group is dressed in white, and occasionally you can see a little emerald green or something.

"Qingyun Mountain, Ling Tianmen, learn to teach Wang Chi, I have seen the official family, the queen, and Zhang Meiren. Xuejiao Wang Chi Yaoyao bowed from afar, and Nan Huaijin, Ji Xiang, and Lu Qingxue behind him also bowed to the people in the upper seats.

"Everyone who came down from Qingyun Mountain, take a seat. The emperor said.

The position has been reserved, the dancing girl is still dancing gracefully, the imperial concubine on the seat beckoned to Nan Huaijin and called her over, Nan Huaijin looked, got up, hung her head and walked over, bypassing the feast, to the side of the imperial concubine.

"I've been waiting for you in the palace for a few days, and you haven't come to look for me, what's the matter, are you afraid that I'll eat you?" Zhang Meiren looked at Nan Huaijin with very smart eyes and said, as if she was blaming, but she didn't have that tone.

"The lady was too worried, and the senior brother went to Jiangnan, so she had to go with her. Nan Huaijin said, in fact, it is very unruly, but Zhang Meiren is a person who does not pay attention to the rules, she has always been arrogant, and the emperor is also up to her, she is weak and sickly, and even the imperial doctor of the Taiyi Bureau is also protecting him in shifts, and he does not dare to hesitate about anything, what illness he has, what Ganoderma lucidum Snow Lotus wants, it is just a matter of one sentence.

Obviously she is just a beauty, but others treat her as a concubine, and she is often called the imperial concubine, in the palace, even the queen sees her, sometimes she will hide some, eat and wear more than the middle palace, people in the palace often say that in the future, Queen Cao will be abolished, that is, Zhang Meiren will be the queen, instead of calling her a lady, it is better to call her the imperial concubine in advance.

Whatever she wants, the emperor will give, but she asks for more, and the emperor also knows that there are some things that cannot be given, so he will occasionally reprimand.

"The rice cake in Jiangnan is delicious, I know, you try this cake, it is made of golden osmanthus flowers in the palace, and it is very fragrant. Zhang Meiren was very good to her, she had her hair standing up and was wearing the outfit of a male disciple, which was also visible at a glance.

"Han'er, you can't eat any more of that sweet cake if you eat a few pieces, the doctor said that eating too much is not good for the fetus in the womb. The Emperor sat down on the side and spoke.

Zhang Meiren has asthma, originally the palace is not allowed to plant flowers, but there are a few yards and there are also laurel trees, when the season comes, it is the color and fragrance of flowers can be smelled and seen ten miles away, the palace people pick it down, and mix it in the rice cake to make sweet flower essence, and finally make a piece of sweet osmanthus cake.
