051 Shangguan flowers
It was already late at night, and when Zhao Ji was about to fall asleep, a guard suddenly knocked on the door and entered the room. The guard handed Zhao Ji a life-guard lock card made of pure gold, about the size of a baby's palm, and said: "Today, Miss Bai Jian Zhong sent her own accessory to the pawnshop for pawn, and the villain redeemed it on his own initiative, but he was worried that Miss Zhong might feel embarrassed, so he kept it on himself, and now handed it over to the prince." ”
After Zhao Ji heard this, he thought for a moment, and then remembered that although Zhong Ling saw everything on the streets of Dali City during the day, he felt novel, but rarely bought anything, and now he knew that this little girl was because she was shy in her pocket, but she was embarrassed to tell herself, so she quietly pawned her personal accessories. After thinking about it carefully, most of the sachets that Zhong Ling gave him were bought with pawned money.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked the guards how much it cost to redeem the small golden lock. After returning the silver money to the guards, Zhao Ji put away the golden lock, preparing to return it to Zhong Ling at a suitable opportunity. The little girl has a strong sense of self-esteem, and if she returns it to her face like this, she is afraid that she will feel embarrassed.
After a night's rest, when he got up the next day, Zhao Ji's spirit was restored again. Although the subordinates of the Zhennan Royal Mansion were not as willing to serve as the people in the mid-end royal mansion of Bianliang City, especially without Liang Shicheng, a person who was almost like a roundworm in his stomach, Zhao Ji always felt a little uncomfortable. However, he does not necessarily have to be done by others for everything, and these Yiren women and maids are delicate and shy, even if they are simply regarded as a scenery, they are more pleasing to the eye than those rough men in the mission.
I didn't see Duan Zhengchun early in the morning, but Duan Yu came over soon after Zhao Ji got up, and his interest was extremely high, and after meeting, he asked: "Lord Duan, are you ready for us to go to Shangguan now?" Shangguan Flowers, it is best to watch them in the early morning, at this time the morning sun is rising, and the flowers are soaked in dew and moisture, which is the most beautiful. If it is a little later, the sun is shining, but it will wilt and lose its brilliance. ”
Seeing Duan Yu so enthusiastic, Zhao Ji secretly said ashamed. Last night, he agreed to Duan Zhengchun's suggestion, but he just said it casually, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, he has a lot to do when he comes to Dali this time, but Shangguan to enjoy the flowers is not a serious thing in his heart. However, Duan Yu warmly invited, and if he refused directly, it would be a little disrespectful. Zhao Ji went to ask Qiao Feng and Zhong Ling for the meaning, these two people, Qiao Feng had a fight with Duan Zhengchun's Yiyang Finger last night, it can be said that his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and it was indispensable to go where to go at this time. As for Zhong Ling, he has lived a lonely life since he was a child, and he rarely has the opportunity to visit the prosperous scenery, so his interest is quite high, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he urged Zhao Ji to get up early. Leaving two guards to go to Tianlong Temple to explain their whereabouts to the rest of the envoys, Zhao Ji and the others went to Shangguan under the guidance of Duan Yu.
The so-called Shangguan is a military pass in the Cangshan Mountain in the north of Dali City, and it is a gateway that guards the entrance and exit of Dali City. Zhao Ji and others passed through this place yesterday, but because the honor guard was crowded in front and back, there was no leisure to enjoy the scenery. Today I have a leisure, seeing the flowers and tourists, it is really a rare scene. Duan Yu led the way, pointing to the blooming flowers on both sides of the mountain road along the way and explaining to everyone, such as a number of family treasures, quoting classics from time to time, and bringing some allusions at his fingertips, even Qiao Feng, a person who is not interested in the way of floral art, can listen attentively, and his good impression of Duan Yu has increased a lot between words. Seeing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little surprised, remembering that when he got acquainted with Qiao Feng, he hollowed out his mind and acted compassionately, and he was cautious in his words and deeds. Sure enough, people who are born with the protagonist template can do everything with half the effort.
However, the little girl Zhong Ling was not very interested in Duan Yu because of the unpleasant encounter on the street of Dali City yesterday, especially because she picked a few flowers to play with, and was entangled by Duan Yu to talk about the spiritual life of flowers and plants, and she was even more impatient to be preached, so she avoided Duan Yu with a cold face, and stayed by Zhao Ji's side and stopped moving forward.
Zhao Ji came all the way to Dali, naturally not so simple as enjoying the flowers and seeing the scenery, so he was not very interested in what Duan Yu talked about, but only limited to a polite response. On the contrary, he is more interested in the terrain around Dali City, Dali City is surrounded by mountains, and the two passes of Shangguan and Xiaguan are even more imposing that they are not open, although they are not as prosperous as Bianliang City, but the shape is still excessive. Zhao Ji naturally does not believe in the so-called "eternal country, not in danger in virtue", in fact, Bianliang City, as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is not the most suitable in itself, even if it does not need to be ahead of the times, even in the current era, there are many people who realize this. It's just that there seems to be some taboo in this, which is regarded as a taboo.
Putting aside these temporarily useless thoughts, Zhao Ji turned to talk to Zhong Ling about the Wuliang Mountain in the south of Dali City. Zhao Ji's own geographical knowledge is relatively scarce, and he originally thought that when he arrived in Dali, Wuliang Mountain was close at hand. It wasn't until I entered Dali to find someone to inquire that it turned out that Wuliang Mountain was still nearly a thousand miles south of Dali City, but it was not something that could be reached in a day or two. Although the road is a bit far, since he has come to this point, no matter what, Zhao Ji has to take the time to go over.
On the mountain road, Zhao Ji actually met Cai Jing and others. Accompanied by the ministers of Dali, they also came to watch the flowers of Shangguan, and had already set up a banquet in the viewing pavilion halfway up the mountain. The communication between the ministers was relatively smooth, although there were two countries, but there were poems and songs as a bridge, and after singing and coping, they would get along well. When the ministers of the two countries saw the prince of the Great Song Duan and the prince of Zhennan of Dali walking together, they couldn't help but get up to greet each other.
Although Zhao Ji is not good at this literati meeting, since he has met it, he also has to socialize, so he invited Duan Yu to sit together. When the literati gathered, they talked about nothing more than wind and snow, especially in this flower-filled Shangguan Mountain Road. Cai Jing and a group of Great Song Wenchen are talented, but these ministers in Dali are proficient in word law. Although it has not communicated with the Central Plains for a long time, Dali also pursued the imperial examination to take scholars, and the monks read the Confucian scriptures to take scholars, which is called Confucianism. At the banquet, everyone drank wine in the wind, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, drank to a strong place, and naturally sang some exquisite poems.
When everyone was elated, Cai Jing showed Zhao Ji with his eyes, and the two left the table and walked to a remote place, Cai Jing said to Zhao Ji: "Lord, that Gao Shengtai came to visit me last night and said a lot of things. Listening to his words, I seem to hope that our Great Song Dynasty can support him to become the lord of Dali. I also listened to the story of this good marquis, and the more I realized that the situation of this family in Dali is really difficult. ”
Zhao Ji said: "Then what are your plans, Master Cai? When Xiao Wang left Beijing, he had to be told by the housekeeper that I had no experience in going to foreign countries, so naturally I would only look forward to you, Master Cai. ”
Cai Jing sighed and said: "This Dali country doesn't matter which one is in charge, for our Great Song Dynasty, in fact, the difference is not very big. It's just that this time it was not a coincidence that we sent it, the Duan family got its name, and the Gao family got the fact. The edict canonized by the official family is naturally not changeable, but it is not the most appropriate to take it out and read it at this time. Therefore, I plan to take advantage of the fact that the court of Dali is also hesitating during this period of time, and we will divide our troops into several ways to have an in-depth understanding in this Dali country. After all, as long as the edict is read, Dali will be regarded as a vassal of our Great Song Dynasty, and if there are variables in the national system in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will have to intervene. The more we know, the more we will be able to deal with variables in the future. ”
Cai Jing's suggestion, Zhao Ji naturally agreed, so he had the opportunity to go to Wuliang Mountain. However, the meaning of Cai Jing's words, Zhao Ji also remembered it in his heart. After all, if there are variables in Dali in the future, you may need to make your own decisions about how to deal with it. Zhao Ji discussed with Cai Jing here for a while, discussing what aspects of Dali to strengthen understanding.
When the two had finished their discussions, the banquet was halfway through, and a poem was being recited at the banquet. When it reached Cai Jing, he whispered a few times and then said to Zhao Ji with a smile: "The poems of this prince of Zhennan are also neat, but they are a little more ingenious. Lord Wang, you haven't come out for a long time, is there a Yaxing Fu poem and a one?"
Zhao Ji shook his head with a smile and said, "The way of poetry has not been touched for a long time." Reluctantly, laughing at the Fang family. "After all, I don't want to write.
Seeing this, Cai Jing was sure that this Duan Wang Ye was really born with a reborn change. If you follow the old impression of Bianliang City in the past, you will never be so calm and restrained. Back at the table, Zhao Ji saw that Qiao Feng and Zhong Ling were not interested in the topics at the banquet, so he simply said goodbye and left. Duan Yu was on the rise, and when he saw that Zhao Ji was leaving, he was in a dilemma for a while. Zhao Ji didn't want him to accompany him, and he and Qiao Feng and others went back to Zhennan Wangfu first.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Duan Zhengchun greeted him and said to Zhao Ji with a smile: "I heard Duan Wang Ye talk about his interest in martial arts last night, and I went to Tianlong Temple this morning to ask for the opinions of the elders in the clan. If Duan Wang Ye is free now, would you like to go to Tianlong Temple with me? The Duan family also has a lot of inheritance in martial arts, if Duan Wang Ye is interested in martial arts, he will ask the elders of the clan for guidance. ”
When Zhao Ji heard this, his heart couldn't help but burst, Duan Zhengchun's meaning was that he was ready to teach Duan Jiayiyang to himself? As soon as this thought appeared, his heart suddenly became hot: "I am stubborn, I dare not ask for ears!"
