Qiao Feng only stayed in Bianliang City for one night, and the next day he left in a hurry and rushed west to Qinfeng Road. The beggar disciples there had some disputes with their lives, and it is said that they broke a descendant of the Western Army.

Zhao Ji saw that Qiao Feng was not idle for a moment, running around like a firefighter, and he felt tired. This matter involves the generals of the Western Army, and it is not easy for him to intervene to help. However, the beggar gang has always had a good relationship with the Western Army, not only saved Marshal Yang of the Western Army, but also sped on the Western Xia ** situation many times and notified the official government of the Great Song Dynasty, and even received the commendation of the old breed, so there is no need for Zhao Ji's help, and he can handle things well.

After bidding farewell to Qiao Feng, Zhao Ji's life resumed again. Because he overheard Qiao Feng mention the matter of the beggars helping the Luoyang Hundred Flowers Association, Zhao Ji couldn't help but ask Quan Guanqing about the conference.

This hundred flowers will have a long heritage, even during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period before the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. Although the number of beggars is large, they are scattered all over the world, and the eight major rudders are divided into each town. In this era, there were no telephones and mobile phones, so it was inconvenient for them to communicate with each other, so it was difficult to communicate with each other. The sages of the beggar gang established this Hundred Flowers Society, firstly, to get together to exchange information with each other, so as to facilitate the scheduling and management of the entire gang, and secondly, to deepen the friendship between the members of the beggar gang. Because the time was chosen in May, when the flowers were in full bloom, it was named the Hundred Flowers Society.

If Zhao Ji didn't guess wrong, Qiao Feng's tragic life was the root of this Hundred Flowers Conference. Then he naturally couldn't miss this conference and see if there was a chance to solve that Mrs. Ma Kang Min and eliminate a hidden danger for Qiao Feng. Moreover, he also wanted to meet the elders of the beggar gang who led the beggars.

Luoyang is also known as Xijing in the Great Song Dynasty, it is between three or four hundred miles away from Bianliang City, there is a direct official road post road between each other, if you want to rush there, you can reach it between ten days. Zhao Ji asked Quan Guanqing about the specific date of the Hundred Flowers Meeting, and there were still more than forty days of preparation time, so he should have time to tell the emperor to allow him to go.

Although he has already obtained the emperor's permission to leave Beijing, Zhao Ji can't pat his ass and leave, there are still many things to prepare. First of all, he sorted out his recent cultivation experience, and frequently went to the palace to preach to the emperor, so that the emperor understood that he had real materials, not pretentious. However, the emperor was busy with government affairs, and Zhao Ji entered the palace several times, but he didn't meet the emperor for most of the time, so he went to Tai** Zhonghuan for a while and told the queen mother some interesting stories. The emperor said that the queen mother also has the right to decide whether she is allowed to leave Beijing or not.

For Zhao Ji's frequent visits, the Queen Mother was naturally happy. The palace was so deserted that there wasn't even anyone to talk to. And Zhao Ji is a human being, and the stories of thousands of years in his mind are rich in experience, and it is very simple to tell some stories to the Queen Mother to relieve boredom. While pleasing the Queen Mother, Zhao Ji also mentioned his recent plan to go to Luoyang. After hearing this, the Queen Mother naturally refused to allow it, but she couldn't stand Zhao Ji's begging every other day, so she finally relieved her head and agreed, but only gave Zhao Ji half a month to go back and forth.

Zhao Ji calculated the date, and it would take nearly ten days to go back and forth, so he wouldn't be able to stay in Luoyang for long, so although he was approved, he was not in a hurry to leave, and was ready to wait until the date of the Hundred Flowers Meeting.

The matter is over, and Zhao Ji has completely become leisurely. In addition to entering the palace every other day to tell stories to the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, and then staying in the palace or reading the Taoist scriptures, or listening to the information that Quan Guanqing has recently collected and investigated. Of course, the beggars are still far from being fully infiltrated into every corner, and the information they have gathered is superficial, and there is nothing too profound or worth investigating. However, through these market information, Zhao Ji can better and more comprehensively understand this era.

Although the days were dull and turbulent, Zhao Ji was not dissatisfied, but enjoyed it very much. He knew very well that in a few years, it would be impossible for him to enjoy such a day again.

However, the arrival of a visitor interrupted Zhao Ji's peaceful life.

The guest who came to visit was Wang Xu, the commander of the horses, that is, the little Wang Du Taiwei in the Water Margin. Wang Xu, who is about forty years old, looks dignified, and his demeanor exudes the bearing of a first-class scholar in this era. The horses of the Great Song Dynasty can't hold any actual official positions, so this little Wang Du Taiwei is a rich idler like Zhao Ji, so he has a very good relationship with the previous Zhao Ji, and has always eaten, drunk and had fun together, and they are a pair of New Year's friends.

However, although Zhao Ji inherited the memory of his predecessor, he didn't want to have anything to do with his former friends who drank and meat, and he never had any contact. Although he was a little impatient in his heart, the guests had already arrived, and Zhao Ji could only come forward to entertain.

After sitting down in the living room, Wang Shu took a sip of tea, and then looked at Zhao Ji with great interest, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the princess entered the palace and learned from the Queen Mother that you have recently cultivated yourself at home and practiced Taoism. When I saw it today, Lord Wang, you are calm and relaxed, and the light is clear, you should have won the Taoist quiet and comfortable interest. ”

Du Wei smiled, my current Taoism is really very shallow, and I should not praise it. ”

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand, and then asked, "What is the matter with Du Wei here?"

After hearing this, Wang Shu smiled and said, "An idler, what can he do." I just remembered that I hadn't seen the prince for a long time, so I came to the house to explore. A few days ago, I heard that the daughter of a family on Xiaoyu Street was worthy of cultivation, born fresh and elegant, and I wanted to invite the prince to take a look. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Ji's mouth couldn't help but grin, looking at the daylight outside, at this time, he was discussing going out to prostitutes, is this good? He shook his head and said: "It's going to disappoint the captain, Xiao Wang has been studying the Taoist scriptures recently, and he has to be ordered by the official family." Wine and wealth, etc., but if they can be avoided, they will be exempted. ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's refusal, Wang Shu couldn't help but be a little surprised. In the past, when this young master heard this kind of thing, he was more positive than anyone else, could it be that he really got the Tao? And he also felt that when he came to the door this time, Zhao Ji's attitude was much colder, but he didn't think much about it, just when he really succeeded in cultivating, his temperament became indifferent.

After a moment of silence, Wang sighed and said, "The prince has gained tranquility from the Taoist scriptures, which is really enviable. ”

Zhao Ji asked casually: "Du Wei is not very interested, but there are trivial matters lingering?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's question, Wang Xuyi sighed for a long time: "It's hard to be clean, the court has not been very peaceful recently, and many of my old friends have been demoted out of Beijing." During this period, I went to no less than five or six farewell banquets alone, and I was really physically and mentally exhausted. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be silent. Even if he was worried about the affairs in the court, he couldn't do anything, but when he heard Wang Shu mention it, he still couldn't help but be worried, and he just hoped that this party struggle would not become more and more fierce.

Wang Shu sighed again: "The most innocent is Xiao Su, who has been absent from the center for a long time, but this time he was involved, and he was relegated from Lingnan to Danzhou." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, his heart moved, and he asked, "What is the little Su bachelor that Du Wei said?"

It is Su Shi Su Dongpo, who was already an official in Huizhou, Lingnan, and this time he had to cross the ocean to the desolate and bitter cold land of Danzhou. This is really no different from putting him to death, and I don't know if we will be able to see each other in this life. ”

Wang Xu's expression was gloomy and said: "The prince of the political affairs hall is also a little ruthless, and he doesn't even think about the friendship of the past at all, and he wants to put his old friend to death and hurry up!"

Sure enough, it was Su Shi!

After listening to Wang Xu's words, Zhao Ji was silent. After crossing over, if he wanted to choose a court official he wanted to see the most, it would be Su Shi. But anyone who is a Chinese who has not heard this name is still moved. Some time ago, he also asked Liang Shicheng about Su Shi's situation, and learned that this fair eunuch was traveling abroad and was not in Bianjing, and he was disappointed for a long time. After inquiring carefully, Zhao Ji realized that Su Shi's situation was quite bad.

Now there are constant disputes in the court, and the ministers are all the same party, but Su Shi is an exception. He originally belonged to the old party, and was reprimanded from Beijing for the malaise of the new law in the Shenzong Dynasty. Finally, when Zhezong ascended the throne, the old party was recalled to Beijing to be activated, but he was convicted of the old party because he was dissatisfied with the old party's actions to suppress dissidents. As a result, the old and new parties were all offended by Su Shi, so it has been very difficult all these years, and this time they are going to be demoted to Danzhou again!

Danzhou is far away in Hainan, and it is still a barbaric land that has not been completely civilized in this era. The ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty did not kill the scholars, and the demotion of people to Hainan was already the strictest punishment, not much different from death.

Zhao Ji didn't know what kind of crime Su Shi had committed, and he was punished so harshly, but he wanted to help Su Shi. Not only because he grew up reciting this duke's poems since he was a child, but also because in the court now, Su Shi is almost the only person who does not take the party and government as his own responsibility, but can really talk about things.

After making a decision, Zhao Ji sent Wang Shu away, and prepared to enter the palace to intercede for Su Shi in front of the emperor.

When Zhao Ji entered the palace, it was already dusk, and the emperor was still dealing with political affairs, so he was temporarily arranged in a side hall by the chamberlain, and he waited for nearly three watches. After dealing with the political affairs, the emperor met Zhao Ji in the imperial study, and said with a smile: "Brother Eleven came to see me so late, but what is the important matter?"
