Zhao Ji interrogated these people in the Zoroastriao for a whole night before he determined that Fang La was just here to borrow scriptures, and the two sides did not have any deeper connection. He also asked Qiao Feng to test these Persians and make sure that they were just ordinary people who had no martial arts, so he let them go. At the same time, he also sent people to keep an eye on the Zoroastrian Temple, and once they reappeared Fang La, they and his party would report immediately.

Until early in the morning, Liang Shicheng, who went to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official, returned with a tired face, saying that he had not reappeared in Fang La and his party.

Zhao Ji didn't expect these ordinary officials in Kaifeng Mansion to be able to arrest Fang La and his party, and the name used by the official was also that the palace was arrested by thieves, and he only hoped that this scene would completely scare people away, and not stay in Bianliang City to stir up the wind and rain. Although this is the case, the tiger will be completely released, but Zhao Ji is really helpless. At first, there is no significant trace of Manichaeism, and even if it were to be arrested, it would be the responsibility of the local government. Secondly, Zhao Ji has such a sensitive identity, if he assigns the forbidden army outside the city without authorization, he is afraid that he will be imprisoned by the Yanguan before he catches Fang La.

Although there was a master of Qiao Feng by his side, but Fang La and his party were a few people, Zhao Ji was afraid that Qiao Feng would have an accident if he dealt with them. Moreover, he treated Qiao Feng as a friend in his heart, rather than a random assignment with a knife in his hand.

Because of Fang La's incident, Qiao Feng stayed in Bianliang City for two more days, until he was sure that Fang La and the others had indeed left Bianliang City, so he said goodbye and left and went to Gongyi County. Zhao Ji has been sending Qiao Feng out of Bianliang City, and before parting, he sent a lot of money and goods. Qiao Feng was originally not a character who was willing to be favored by others, but after getting along with each other for this time, he had already regarded Zhao Ji as a close friend, so he was familiar with it and smiled happily. After all, he didn't know what the dispute in Gongyi County was, and he could carry some goods with him for turnover, so he was prepared.

After sending Qiao Feng away, Zhao Ji's life was completely idle, but his mood was difficult to calm down, and he had a fire in his heart, and he couldn't find a place to vent. The chance encounter with Fang La gave him a lot of stimulation, and some things had already known that the result was not good, but there was nothing he could do. This feeling is really maddening, and it also makes Zhao Ji more and more desperate to master more power. If he is in power now, or if his martial arts are strong, this time he will definitely let Fang La have no return and leave his life in Bianliang City!

For Fang La and Mingjiao, Zhao Ji did not have much good feelings and sympathy. It is true that these Ming sectarians may really be poor people who can't survive, but in fact, the current Great Song Dynasty is far from the point where the foundation is broken, and in the real history, Fang La's group of people are also spinning and disappearing, except for consuming the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty and making people's lives more chaotic and miserable, they have not achieved anything at all. If this world has really been corrupted to the point that people and gods abandon it, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to persist for so many years after the southern crossing.

Therefore, no matter what hardships they have, Zhao Ji does not intend to give them the opportunity to cause trouble in the world. We must preserve the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty as much as possible to meet the most precious opportunity for the revival of the Han Dynasty since the end of the Tang Dynasty more than ten years later! Because Zhao Ji knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, the entire land of Shenzhou would face a catastrophe that would last for several hundred years!

To prevent trouble before it happens and cut off these potential sources of trouble, Zhao Ji can't sit back and wait, and must operate a force in his hands as soon as possible. And the beggar gang may be the only power that Zhao Ji can start to operate and control now, if he wants to do something else, he will definitely be killed by the officials.

During the period of waiting for the beggar gang to send people to Bianliang City, Zhao Ji's mood was not calm, so he stayed in the courtyard outside the city and did not return to the palace, and also used this to avoid some boring and meaningless entertainment. However, on this day, there was a will in the palace to ask Zhao Ji to enter the palace to participate in the family banquet.

Zhao Ji felt a little strange about this will, although the emperor treated his brothers more kindly, but he has always been diligent in political affairs and rarely found time to save this kind of situation. According to Zhao Ji's memory of inheriting his predecessor, he usually went to visit the Empress Dowager Xiang when he entered the palace, and he rarely even saw the emperor's face.

Liang Shicheng said to Zhao Ji: "The little partner who is familiar with him in the palace has sent a letter, saying that the body of the saint (queen) in the palace has passed the good news, so the official family has been in a very happy mood recently. ”

Zhao Ji nodded to indicate that he understood, and then changed his shirt and entered the palace.

To be honest, the imperial palace of Bianliang City is not as grand as the Beijing Forbidden City that Zhao Ji saw in later generations, but because there is no bustling tourists and noisy people, it has a solemn majesty, which everywhere demonstrates the supreme imperial authority in this historical atmosphere.

After entering the palace, Zhao Ji was directly led by the chamberlain to the palace where the Empress Dowager Xiang lived.

Empress Dowager Xiang is the empress of Emperor Shenzong, about fifty years old, with a solemn and kind face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and her temples are faintly white. Although he doesn't have a concubine under his knees, he cares about the children of Emperor Shenzong, so he is very respectful.

When Zhao Ji came, in addition to the Queen Mother, there were also some teenagers and girls sitting in the room. Supported by the memories in his mind, Zhao Ji recognized these teenagers and girls as his brothers and sisters. He first saluted the Queen Mother, and then greeted his brothers one by one.

Emperor Shenzong had many children, but most of them died young, and not many of them lived to adulthood. Therefore, although Zhao Ji is ranked eleven, he is actually the second largest among these princes, except for the sixth brother Emperor Zhezong, there is only one ninth brother Zhao Ji above, but he suffers from eye disease, which is no different from a blind person.

After the ceremony, Zhao Ji was about to sit next to the ninth brother Zhao Yan, but was beckoned to the Queen Mother to sit next to her. In Zhao Ji's memory, Xiang Xiang treated him very kindly, so he was not formal, and sat down directly.

When a family sits together, it is inevitable to discuss some family shortcomings, and the imperial family is no exception. Empress Dowager Xiang lives alone in the palace, and there are few opportunities for this kind of excitement, so the interest is very good, patting Zhao Ji's hand more than once and saying: "Although you children are not from me, the first emperor entrusted you to me before the trip, and in my eyes you are his own children." Your mother is gone, I am your mother, remember to come to the palace to visit my old man more in the future. ”

Zhao Ji nodded again and again, and couldn't help but sigh that the Queen Mother was noble, but it was not as good as the children and grandchildren of the old women in the people, and they enjoyed the joy of family every day. He searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, told some interesting stories in the market to relieve the boredom of the elderly, and there were some jokes that later generations saw. The Empress Dowager Xiang and the princesses and princesses present don't have much life experience, listening to Zhao Ji talk about these interesting stories, they laugh every time, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Before I knew it, it was already dark, and the emperor who had finished dealing with political affairs came late with the queen, and said with a smile outside the palace gate: "Where the eleventh brother is there, it won't be cold." ”

Everyone hurriedly got up to greet them, the emperor was in a good mood, greeted the brothers and sisters with a smile, sat down and talked for a while, and then it was time for dinner.

For royal dining, there are not too many unique rules, just men and women are seated separately and sit around the table. The imperial dishes on the banquet were not too luxurious, they were simple, and they were not even as good as Zhao Ji's daily meals in the palace. It can be seen that the emperor is indeed physically and thrifty. However, the little brothers were a little unhappy, although the emperor greeted him warmly, but he raised his chopsticks to meet the occasion, obviously the meal was not to his taste.

In this way, the emperor's affection couldn't help but drop, and he put down his chopsticks and reprimanded with a straight face: "You brothers are born in heaven and are born with wealth. But you don't know that not everyone in this world can enjoy a prosperous life, and there are many people who can't even see oil and water on the dining table, and having vegetables and meat is already a first-class luxury day! When our father and emperor were here, it was also an ordinary meal, how could it be unbearable to eat when it came to you?"

Hearing the emperor's reprimand with a straight face, these young princes couldn't help but sink their hearts, and the atmosphere became calm for a while. Zhao Ji wanted to ease the atmosphere, and hurriedly said: "A porridge and a meal, when thinking about it is not easy to come by, every wisp of it, and it is difficult to keep thinking about it." The brothers hurried to dine together, so as not to disappoint the teachings of the sixth brother. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ji noticed that the atmosphere was a little delicate, and when he looked at it, he saw that the eyes of the brothers looking at him were a little strange. The emperor above lowered his head and muttered to himself, and after a while, he clapped his hands and smiled: "A porridge and a meal, a wisp of it, Brother Eleven's words really came to my heart! Take a pen and paper, I want to write down these two sentences, and wake myself up every day!"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but be slightly stunned, could it be that he had inadvertently plagiarized the party? Just as he was thinking about it, his brothers looked at him with strange eyes, and they clearly didn't believe that they would tell such a proverb. Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, it seems that his extravagant style in the past is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The emperor wrote the two sentences on the paper, dried the ink and read them several times, and then smiled at Zhao Ji: "I heard that Brother Eleventh cultivated himself at home during this time, and he no longer became the marshal of the leading army in the Fengyue Field. Originally, I didn't believe it, but now it seems that Brother Eleven has really grown a lot recently. You all should stop looking at people with old eyes, and take Brother Eleven as your own example!"

Zhao Ji saw that the emperor's feelings had improved, and praised himself for the first time. As soon as his heart moved, he said again: "The courtier's brother was able to wake up this time, thanks to reading all the Taoist classics at home, and he had a thing or two in his heart. It's just that my own understanding is shallow after all, and it is difficult to realize the true and comfortable realm of Taoism without infinite desires and quiet and inaction. There is some confusion in the scriptures, and it is difficult to find a correct interpretation. I was about to dare to ask the sixth brother to allow me to leave Beijing and visit those hidden people of the Tao, so that I could ask the doubts of the classics and enjoy the splendid rivers and mountains of our Great Song Dynasty. ”
