During the Dragon Boat Festival in the eleventh year of Jiading of the Song Kingdom, Yang Kang met Zhao Kuo, the emperor of the Song Kingdom.

Zhao Kuo and the ministers of the court watched the grand occasion of dragon boat racing in the lake by the West Lake, this tradition began to be popular since the Tang Dynasty, reflecting the emperor's heart of happiness with the people, the lake is distributed in turn with colorful boats, music boats, small boats, painting cabins, small dragon boats, tiger head boats, etc. for viewing, playing music, and the big dragon boat with a length of 40 zhang. Except for the big dragon boat, other boats lined up in formation, bidding for the ferry, as entertainment.

Such a grand event is naturally indispensable to the students of Taixue, these students set up a table by the West Lake, wrote poems and lyrics, the theme is to praise the prosperity and peace of the Song Kingdom, the emperor's virtuous and majestic shore, the dragon boat race in the lake, Taixue students are also secretly competing, the emperor is not far away, this is a good time to step forward.

Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family.

For this reason, these Taixue students have made careful preparations, and even did not hesitate to find someone to ghostwrite, if a poem into the emperor's dragon eye, so that the dragon face is happy, maybe immediately be able to be crowned into the knighthood, one step to the sky, from the emperor's side of the palace people are waiting, see good poems will be presented to the emperor for the imperial review.

This is also said, the poems presented to the emperor can not be extreme, can not be unconventional, can not have ironic words, must be to sing the praises of virtue, the righteous and peaceful is good, and this palace person is also the key, while handing in the poems to carry a certain denomination of money, this is the official paper money of the Song Dynasty, this palace people will be according to the quality of the words and the weight of the gift to measure which Taixue student's poems should be presented to the emperor, this is the sophistication of human feelings.

After all, Yang Kang has been an emperor for several years, and he knows these ways very well, poetry is secondary, gift-giving is the key, and His Majesty the Emperor is not short of money. just wanted to show his face in front of Zhao Kuo, so after satisfying the people of the palace, he forwarded their words. Xie Dacaizi has been famous in Lin'an Mansion for the past six months, and Emperor Zhao Kuo has also heard of it, not to mention that this person is Xie Shenfu's grandson, and Zhao Kuo has a lot of respect for Xie Shenfu. The other person was a descendant of the royal family of the Zhao family, which made the Song Emperor Zhao Kuan interested, so he summoned the two to come forward to meet him.

The emperors of Jin and Song met in a dramatic way on the banks of the West Lake, the Song Emperor Zhao Kuo had passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and Yang Kang was not yet the age of the weak crown, one was already dying, the other was in his prime, the other was incompetent, and the other was ambitious. Their eyes met in the air, then staggered.

His Majesty the Emperor learned a lesson from Xie Daoqing and made himself as ordinary as possible, but there were still some eye-catching places in the ordinary, in the question of Emperor Zhao Kuo of the Song State, Yang Kang's voice was steady, clear and organized, showing good personal qualities. On the other hand, Xie Yili saw the emperor for the first time. I was excited, and my emotions were a little out of control.

This meeting was only a very short time, and the emperor of the Song State, Zhao Kuo, had a simple impression of this fellow named Zhao Heju, and praised Xie Yili, which had reasons for feeling nostalgic for Xie Shenfu, and those ministers who were watching knew that the descendants of the Xie family might be about to soar.

Sure enough. Shortly after the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie Yili and his younger sister Xie Daoqing were recruited into the palace by Empress Yang, and then Emperor Zhao Kuan of the Song Dynasty ordered Xie Yili to enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Mainly responsible for the drafting of the edict, the compilation and revision of historical books, and the lectures of the banquet attendants, although the grade is not high, but there is an opportunity to contact the emperor and the important ministers of the court, Xie Daoqing is deeply loved by Empress Yang and is left in the palace.

At this time, Xie Daoqing's eye disease has been cured, Yang Kang used soul transfer ** to brainwash the girl constantly, making her forget all kinds of previous speculations, and regard Zhao and Ju in front of her as the closest person, although the girl was very resistant to this idea in her mind, but over time, she accepted this idea, and made up some explanations in her mind, this Zhao and Ju are to help the Xie family.

The human brain is so magical, the hypnotism of later generations can also achieve the effect of inputting information in the subconscious of the recipient, changing its thinking mode and behavior pattern, and the soul transfer ** is the advanced realm of hypnosis, and the blessing of the witch doctor in ancient times is the earliest hypnosis.

Xie Yili entered the court as an official, Xie Daoqing entered the palace and was favored, although the process was a little twists and turns, but the first step of the emperor's majesty was finally completed, and the next step was either to quietly wait for the death of His Royal Highness Zhao Xun, the crown prince of the Song Kingdom, or to take a risk, accelerate his death, Yang Kang's time is very precious, even if he has a lot to do after becoming the emperor of the Song Kingdom, he can't waste time on useless waiting, he decided to attack His Royal Highness the Prince of the Song Kingdom.

Zhao Xun, the crown prince of the Song Kingdom, is now twenty-seven years old, he is not the biological son of the emperor Zhao Kuo, but an adopted son, formerly known as Zhao Youyuan, was named Zhao Xun after being named the crown prince, and is now the prince of the East Palace, assisting the emperor in handling court affairs, but the power of the Song Dynasty is controlled by Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, and even the emperor Zhao Kuo does not have much autonomy, and Zhao Xun's status can be imagined.

Song Jiading eleventh year, in June, the Changchun temple on the outskirts of Lin'an Mansion was finally built after more than half a year, to hold a grand ceremony, this Taoist temple is grand in scale, the momentum is extraordinary, with Changchun Zhenren Mound as the ancestor, opened the history of the Changchun sect of the whole true religion.

Because of the assassination in Mongolia a year ago, the Quanzhen Sect was involved, even if it was known that it was planned by the Emperor of the Jin State, but Mongolia and the Quanzhen Sect had already formed a hatred, and the Quanzhen disciples could not enter the Mobei mission for a long time, and the Quanzhen Sect lost hundreds of descendants at once, and suffered heavy losses, which made Yin Zhiping, the head of the sect, criticized and questioned by different voices in the sect.

At this time, Changchun Guan openly opposed Chongyang Palace, announced that he would set up his own door and break away from the subordination of Chongyang Palace, which was undoubtedly a provocation to Yin Zhiping, the head of the Quanzhen Temple, at the inauguration ceremony of Changchun Temple, the envoy from Chongyang Palace of Zhongnan Mountain was turned away, which was the beginning of the split of Quanzhen Religion, and this religious war was about to break out.

Changchun Temple was supported by the Song court, and officials from various ministries represented by Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Song State, attended the inauguration ceremony of Changchun Temple, and Zhao Xun, the prince of the East Palace, accompanied him on behalf of Emperor Zhao Kuo. This is not to say that Shi Miyuan has a good impression of the Quanzhen Sect or Qiu Chuji, but he received a secret letter from the Jin Kingdom, and the King of Rong, Wanyan Hongxi, asked Shi Miyuan to support the Changchun Temple.

In this uproar of religious incidents, many people only noticed the split of the Quanzhen Sect, no one noticed that Zhao Xun, the prince of the Song Kingdom, left the Changchun Temple for half a month, the prince Zhao Xun suddenly fell seriously ill, and passed away two days later, at the age of 27, nicknamed Prince Jingxian.

The government and opposition of the Song State began to discuss the selection of the new crown prince, and Yang Kang was about to enter the political stage of the Song State. (To be continued......)
