Guo Jing and Huang Rong's letter also mentioned one thing, which was to ask Yin Zhiping to calculate a good life and rush to Xiangyang to participate in the full moon ceremony of their newborn dragon and phoenix fetus. However, this matter is not a matter of urgency, the day the letter was delivered to Yin Zhiping's hands, it was only five days after Huang Rong gave birth to Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu. There are still more than 20 days, and from Lin'an to Xiangyang, it will take up to 10 days if you take the waterway, and if the wind is not too favorable, it will be delayed for one or two more days.

Therefore, Yin Zhiping is not in a hurry, he will stay in Lin'an for at least ten days and half a month. On the second day, he first sent Yang Guo and Guo Fu away. It was only when there was still half a month before the full moon ceremony of Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu that he began to purchase gifts and arrange for Lin'an after his departure; only when there were ten days left did he enter the palace to ask Emperor Lizong for leave.

Although he only has the rank of a loose official, and is not a formal official of the Great Song Dynasty bureaucracy, he does not need to attend court meetings every day, let alone deal with any government affairs, but after all, he is in Lin'an, and he is often summoned to the palace by Li Zong, and he is not in Lin'an for ten days and half a month, so he naturally has to ask the emperor for a leave of absence to report, and he can only leave with the permission of the big boss. If you leave without saying a word, then you don't take the emperor in your eyes at all, and no matter how favored you are, you will be punished for a big crime of disrespect.

Although in fact, Yin Zhiping really didn't take this Emperor Lizong very seriously, but this attitude was honestly hidden in his heart, and it must not be openly displayed. It's not that Yin Zhiping is too contemptuous of the monarchy, but that the current emperor is really not a wise monarch. is not a virtuous king, it can only be said that he is not a ruthless and unkind king who destroys his family and defeats the country.

The monarch is wise. Naturally, he is loved by his courtiers and the people, and if the monarch is immoral and incompetent, he will naturally not be supported and loved by the courtiers and the people. will also be controlled by traitorous ministers and fooled by powerful ministers, and there are few people in the entire government and opposition who really take such monarchs in their eyes.

Yin Zhiping came from the modern society of later generations, advocating that everyone is equal, and naturally there is a kind of contempt for the monarchy, no matter what he does in front of him, how to express humility in front of the emperor, and how to please and invite favor, etc., but at least he will not worship the emperor high in his heart, and regard the monarchy as a god. What kind of monarch does the emperor really regard as a monarch father, a true dragon, a son of heaven, a purple microstar monarch descending to earth, and so on.

But if he encounters wise monarchs such as Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how much he regards the monarchy as dung in his heart, he will not fail to take such emperors in his eyes. Because such a wise monarch deserves respect. And if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to use the emperor's power to help and facilitate the mission, where did he need to look at the emperor's face, and it would be good if he didn't throw his face at the emperor.

Walk through the palace. Yin Zhiping thought that after meeting the emperor, he would have to deal with it carefully, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored in his heart. Although he is no longer in Zhongnan Mountain, he has been constrained by the emperor. When you leave Lin'an, you have to take leave and ask for instructions. You can't come when you want to, you can go when you want, it's really not chic and comfortable.

Walking the rivers and lakes. It's a good one to come and go freely, chic and free. Heaven and earth are big. Let me go alone, but there are obstacles. Speak by the sword. What you want is a realm where you are happy and free, and no one cares. If you are constrained everywhere you go, then what else is there to talk about?

The reason why Yin Zhiping liked to read martial arts novels in his previous life was because he liked the pursuit and realm expressed in these novels.

However, in the world of martial arts, people still can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death. The real great freedom and freedom are also to be free from these constraints, so he has to seek the way of transcendence of longevity.

Sometimes, Yin Zhiping wants to immediately leave everything in front of him and at hand, go to walk the rivers and lakes, and go all over the world. To experience the freedom of being uncontrolled by no one and not having anything to worry about. If you encounter any injustice, you will take care of it, and if you see someone who is unhappy, you will beat it up. No worries, no constraints.

But the next moment, he is often pulled back to reality, he can't let go of everything at hand, and he can't leave alone if he can't do anything. Life is often a tug of war between dreams and reality. And the reason why a dream is called a dream may be that it can never be realized.

If it was in the realm of the previous life, this might indeed be a dream forever. But in the current world, Yin Zhiping feels that he is very close to his dream. When a person walks alone, he sometimes experiences the moment when he really lets go of everything, is unrestrained, and is free. Although the time is short, he has indeed experienced it, which also makes him even more unwilling to give up his dream.

But in reality, there are countless fetters. It's not that you can say that you can put it down, and if you put it down, others can follow suit. In order to truly realize your dreams, you need to be patient and take your time step by step. The process of realizing dreams is also a rich process and a spiritual tempering. What's more, what he asks for is a great freedom and freedom for a long time, and he needs to have great determination and perseverance, how can he easily obtain it without twists and turns. What can be obtained easily in one fell swoop can really only be a dream. He refused to agree to the goddess of Wushan at the beginning, and he didn't believe that there was such a pie-in-the-sky good thing, and the return was completely unequal to the pay.

"Yin Zhenren, it's here!"

When Yin Zhiping was slightly distracted, the eunuch who led the way in front stopped and said. Yin Zhiping stopped when he heard this, and saw that he had arrived at the back hall of the vertical arch hall.

Today, however, he entered the palace in the morning to bid farewell to Emperor Lizong, intending to board the ship and set off in the afternoon. Everything he should have packed up should be packed up, and the things that should be explained have been explained in the past few days, so he can leave at any time after taking leave from the emperor.

He came early, but now is the time when the dynasty has only dispersed. Today is just an ordinary court meeting, and Li Zong only summons some ministers to discuss matters and deal with government affairs in the Hanging Arch Hall. Generally, after the morning is dispersed, the Rinshu will drink tea in the back hall of the vertical arch hall and rest for half an hour with a snack. That's when he came over.

"Real person, please wait here for a while, and I will go in and report to the real person. The eunuch saw Yin Zhiping stop, and continued.

Yin Zhiping nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

The eunuch saluted again, and went inside to report. After a while, he came out and summoned Emperor Lizong.

Yin Zhiping then entered, went inside to see Emperor Lizong, and after worshipping and meeting, he first chatted with him for a few words, and then talked about business, and wanted to take a month off. He went to Xiangyang, and then returned to Lin'an from Xiangyang, and it took almost half a month to go on a single road, and after arriving in Xiangyang, I am afraid that he would have to delay for some time, so he said that the period of leave was more relaxed.

After Emperor Lizong asked Yin Zhiping the reason for his leave, he was not embarrassed, even if he was approved. Yin Zhiping saluted and thanked him again, and after chatting with Li Zong for a few more words, he left the palace and prepared for the afternoon trip.

Unexpectedly, before he could say a few words, suddenly a eunuch ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground, and said loudly with a miserable face: "Official, it's not good, something is wrong." Shi Xianggong was assassinated by two assassins on the way home from the Sanchao Dynasty and died! ”

"What!"

When Li Zong heard this, he was shocked. Ben was drinking tea with a teacup, and in a panic, his hand shook, and the teacup overturned, first falling to the hem of his shirt, and then rolling to the ground, and the tea spilled all over him. But he couldn't take care of it at this time, and then he stood up, stared at the eunuch with a face full of disbelief and asked, "What did you say? ”

Yin Zhiping couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and at this time he also stared at the eunuch to see if he was wrong.

I saw that the eunuch trembled and repeated in a sad voice: "Back to the official's house, Shi Xianggong was assassinated by two assassins on the way home from the Sanchao, and he has already gone!"

With a "bang", Li Zong heard this, confirmed that it was correct, and sat down in his chair again.

Yin Zhiping was also shocked in his head, and immediately thought of Lin Zhiling, could it be that she assassinated Shi Songzhi again? And the eunuch just said that there were two assassins, who was the other one, could it be Li Mochou helping Lin Zhiling? (To be continued......
