end song

Chapter 156 Words

Dong Songchen lowered his head cautiously, feeling the oppressive atmosphere.

After Concubine Yan walked away angrily, he took a peek and saw that the official was still sitting there, and the backgammon piece in his hand hadn't been put down yet.

It's like holding the Great Song Sheji in your hands, and you don't know where to put it.

There are some things that the officials will naturally not miss, but without a son, so what if they think about it?Dong Songchen, as an eunuch, can understand the sorrow and bitterness best.

It's useless to think about it, and I don't want to think about it.This is the emperor's benevolence, with deep helplessness.

But some people can't take it too far...

Finally, the official spoke up.

"Recently, the food in the palace is not to my taste, and the Bureau of Shangshi will replace a batch of them manually. You will handle this matter yourself."

Dong Songchen responded quickly, and at the same time he was sure.

It's done!
King Rong has been cautious all his life and has never aroused the suspicion of officials in anything; King Zhong is taciturn.This is the reason why Prince Rong and his son can gain the favor of the official family.

But tonight, the officials had doubts in their hearts, and the affection between brothers and sisters was changed beyond recognition in an instant.

For more than [-] years, King Rong has been silent for more than [-] years, but this time he has a flaw in Li Xia.

……

After Zhao Yun said this, he suddenly became diligent in the middle of the night.

"Send someone to invite Brother Rui to come into the palace tomorrow to accompany me in Cuju...By the way, how did Yang Dong impeach me last time?"

Dong Songchen immediately knew what the officials were talking about.

A while ago, the officials liked to call female Taoist priests into the palace, please pay homage to the scriptures, in short, they practiced together, and were severely impeached by Yang Dong.

The official was so generous that he threw away the memorial without reading it carefully, and planned to promote Yang Dong to honor his name.

"Reporting to the official family, Xueshi Yang said, 'Your Majesty, why do you cherish a female crown? The world looks at it and doesn't rush to get rid of it', but it seems that this matter was spread because of Xueshi Yang's appointment..."

"The world is looking sideways?" Zhao Yun sneered, and said in a low voice: "You can't teach, and you can take care of your own business."

Feeling that the official family was getting more and more gloomy, Dong Songchen thought a lot in his heart.

In recent years, there have always been Qingliu people who boast that they are outspoken and outspoken. Whenever they talk about government affairs, they always like to add the sentence "the heir of the country is not yet determined".

Next, I am afraid that a bunch of people will be finished...

After Zhao Yun ordered many things one after another, he remembered Li Xia and asked, "Why did Li Xia violently kill people?"

"He said it was true. When he was in the north, he knew that there was a Mongolian spy in the imperial court, and he was always on guard. That day, he went to tell a story for Mrs. Cixian. Halfway, suddenly a soldier drew his sword at each other. In desperation, he had no choice but to stand up and resist."

"Mongolian elaboration?" Zhao Yun's tone was contemptuous, obviously not believing it.

Dong Songchen said again: "Afterwards, Li Xia sneaked into the other courtyard of the King of Rong to conduct a careful investigation, and found out that someone among the King of Rong's Muliao had secretly communicated with Mongolia. This person was named Yin Yifu, and he had correspondence with the Mongolian people. Li Xia killed him in anger, and later Besieged and hunted down..."

Zhao Yun seemed to believe it but didn't believe it, so he ordered the Imperial City Secretary to investigate overnight.

~~
The next day, Li Xia entered the palace again to face the saint.

He was still Bai Ding, not wearing an official uniform, only wearing a clean collared robe and boots.But every time he meets officials and eunuchs, his temperament seems to be higher than them.

This time the face saint is still in the Xuande Hall.

Li Xia came early, before Zhao Yun came to court.

He stood in the hall and waited, observed a few times, and finally his eyes fell on the two big characters "Patience" on the wall.

The little eunuch who led the way followed his gaze and said softly: "This is what Emperor Gaozong said, 'In affairs of the world, you don't have to be fast, but you have to persevere, and you will finally succeed'." Emperor Xiaozong revealed it on the wall of Xuande Hall, To show respect. Don't look at it again."

"So that's the case, Chief Xie."

Li Xia thanked him in his mouth, but he also had a feeling in his heart.

The assassination of Sun Yingzhi this time involved many troubles.In the context of Zhao Gaozong, it should be regarded as "taking advantage of the speed".

However, he has also learned to persevere, otherwise he might take the risk of assassinating the officials today, or flee to the north and seek refuge in Mongolia.

In short, it is very "persevering".

After a while, the guard of honor of the imperial chariot arrived, and Zhao Yun sat on the imperial couch, and an eunuch stepped forward to take off his boots for him, and served wine and food.

He didn't give Li Xia a seat, he adjusted himself and said, "Do you feel wronged?"

Li Xia said: "Yes, so I appeal to His Majesty."

"Do you feel wronged?"

"I'm not wronged, I just feel the experience."

Zhao Yun smiled contemptuously, disliking Li Xia's temperament.

Old-fashioned and motivated, although they are different from moral gentlemen, they are easily reminiscent of them. In short, they are boring.

Jia Sidao is more interesting, but unfortunately there is only one Jia Sidao in the whole dynasty.

"You said that Yin Yifu, an aide of King Rong, had sneaked into Mongolia. Is there any evidence?"

"Yes." Li Xia said, "I was hunted down, and when I ran into Yin Yifu's house, he was writing a letter. When he saw me, he burned the letter, leaving only a scrap of paper. There must be more evidence in his house, but I Too late to search for..."

Li Xia handed over the scrap of paper, on which only the words "those who entered the kingdom of the upper kingdom have fallen" were left.

All the officials of the imperial city stepped forward, checked the letter paper, and said, "Your Majesty, Yin Yifu's handwriting is correct."

In fact, this still does not prove that Yin Yifu collaborated with the enemy. It may also be that Li Xia sneaked into Yin Yifu's house and forced him to write these words.

But what Zhao Yun cared about was that Zhao Yurui obviously wanted to cover up the killing of Yin Yifu.

On the one hand, a staff member in the mansion was killed by Li Xia, and on the other hand, Li Xia was wanted, but this matter was not incorporated into the case. What was there to hide?
"I heard that you forced Yin Yifu to take you into the Rong Palace, and then you left the Rong Palace with Huang's token?"

"Yes." Li Xia said.

"Why?"

"Madame Longguo has friendship with my family, I beg her to let me go."

Zhao Yun looked at Huangcheng Siduzhi.

"Your Majesty, it is true."

Zhao Yun snorted softly, thinking that either Li Xia had stolen Huang's belongings, or Huang had forgiven the Li family.Zhao Yurui will never do it to hide the fact that the Huang family forgave the Li family...

In addition, he already knew that Jiang Wanli, Li Boyu and others were also at Prince Rong's mansion that night, so Prince Rong must have something to cover up.

But thinking that no matter what, he couldn't change the fact that he didn't have a biological son, Zhao Yun became a little bored again.

"Someone wrote a letter to impeach Ruidi, saying that he broke your loyalty, what do you think?"

"I have redressed my grievances to His Majesty, and His Majesty has vindicated me." Li Xia said, "Although there are many difficulties and dangers, Xia will not change his ambition."

"Okay." Zhao Yun said: "I heard that you are willing to go to Shu to fight against Mongolia?"

"Yes, although the flaws are minor, I am willing to do my best to defend the country for His Majesty."

"Too young." Zhao Yun tapped on the table and pondered for a moment.

Li Xia thought that he was going to stay in Taixue to study again, but he heard Zhao Yun say something.

"The young man with curly hair has the desire to defend the country. It is rare. I will make an exception once. Since you have not been crowned, I will personally give you the word."

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

"Successful."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

Zhao Yun was holding the wine glass, always looking a little careless.

I think back when I was in charge of the government, I was not in such a state of mind. Extermination of gold, the Northern Expedition, and reforms, I was full of enthusiasm to sweep away the century-old abuses of the country, rejuvenate the Song Dynasty... I also personally poured wine for the princes, impassioned.

So what if you do it well?Hundreds of officials shouted every day that "the heir of the country has not been decided", the heir of the country?Anyone who can inherit this inheritance is just a fool.

When he came back to his senses, seeing that Li Xia was still waiting for the word to be given by him, Zhao Yun said casually: "Xia, the flaw of jade, which one is flawless? I gave you the word 'Feiyu', I hope you can always cultivate yourself. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Can you play cuju?"

Li Xia didn't hear clearly for a while, and was taken aback for a while, and soon understood Zhao Yun's intentions.

It probably has the intention of letting some people see "Look, I am young and strong!" Of course, there may be other deep meanings.

Although in Li Xia's eyes, being strong and having a son are two different things, he didn't bother to remind the officials not to be brave.

He is not the censor of Advocate Taiwan.

"I won't." Li Xia said.

In fact, it's just that they don't know the rules. It's difficult for top athletes to have a few sports.

"I teach you, wait for King Rong to enter the palace later, and play Cuju to wipe out all grievances."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhao Yun was about to order someone to take Li Xia to change clothes when he suddenly saw an eunuch trotting in from behind.

"Officials, Princess Ruiguo said that she is ready, and asked the official when to start Cuju."

Li Xia looked at it, and it was rare to see a sincere smile on Zhao Yun's face, and his spirit was a little lifted.

Zhao Yun didn't care about the presence of foreign ministers, and went straight to chatting with the eunuch...

"When did you call her to play Cuju? You have good eyes and ears."

"I've been preparing since I got up early in the morning. I'm afraid I've already arrived in Jucheng. She said that the official family will join the army with King Rong, but she will join the army with her uncle."

Zhao Yun waved his hands and smiled, and said: "She is clever, who can beat Jia Sidao..."

Only then did he remember that Li Xia was still in the palace, he turned his head and said, "Unfortunately, I won't be bringing foreign ministers with me today. You go and get the official title, and set off to take up the post."

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Xia was originally able to do things quickly, and he didn't feel regretful.

Anyway, he can't win the championship if he goes to play football...
