The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

The [-]-day banquet at Prince Qin's Mansion was very lively and there were many guests. Although it seemed to be a celebration for the concubine at the moment, Zhao Tong did not have a royal concubine and no one knew what would happen in the future, so the gifts given were all very expensive.

Especially for those officials who came from noble families, the gifts were even more precious than when Zhao Zanna married Zhu Xiuniang. Emperor Daojun also specially gave a golden pearl knot. This thing was later developed into a longevity lock, and the Hundred Days Banquet was Needless to say, the reason for such importance is because Zhu Xiuniang gave birth to an heir for King Qin.

For women, giving birth to a child is very important in this era. No matter what your origin or background is, only having a child is considered a secure position, even if it is only a girl.

This is why the ancients sometimes favored women who had been married and had given birth, because it proved that the woman could have children and would not end up unclear about the problem in the man and the woman. The ancients believed that there were three types of unfilial piety, and having no offspring was the greatest. Not empty words.

In the Song Dynasty, people were as virtuous as Renzong, and most people criticized him for having no descendants.

And Zhezong, who worked hard and wanted to rejuvenate the Song Dynasty, actually half of the reasons for his early death were because he had no descendants.

Zhezong had always been physically weak. At the end of his reign, he was hit hard by the successive deaths of his daughters. Under the double pressure of mental and physical pressure, he finally died of hemoptysis in Funing Hall. He was only 15 years old after 25 years in power.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, King Qin's extension of heirs is more important than Na marrying a county lord.

On this day, the palace was lively from morning to afternoon, unlike when Zhao Tun got married, there were not many ceremonies, and there was no need to enter any bridal chamber, just drinking happily.

At this moment, all the people who went up were gone, even those in the army led by Tan Zhen also resigned, and the rest were all Zhao Tong's own subordinates.

He sat at a table with Lu Junyi and Du Po, both of whom were very generous. The hooligans from Suiyulou took turns to toast and were not poured down, but in the end, many toasts were carried out.

At this time, the minds of the people present were different from those of the officials in the court. They were all direct descendants of Zhao Tong. No matter what happened, they would stand with Zhao Tong. Well, it is a great joy for the lord to have a queen, which makes them firmer in their minds and has no worries about the future.

Zhao Tong looked at Lu Junyi and Du Po, there were more than three people at this table, and the others were all drunk and carried away, so they couldn't make up for a while.

He looked around and saw that there were not many people who could still drink, but he saw General Lu who was hiding in a corner pouring himself a drink. He seemed to feel Zhao Tun's gaze, and General Lu hurriedly lowered his head.

There is no other reason. Everyone else at this banquet gave a lot of gifts, but he only wrote a letter to send it.

He has no money. He was arrested and brought to Tokyo. He has nothing and nothing.

After the new year came into effect, Suiyulou gave him some money as a subsidy every month. Seeing that Suiyulou took care of food and housing and had no extra expenses, he spent all the money to buy books.

How expensive are books in this era?The subsidy money is not a lot in daily calculations, but it is not enough to buy books, and he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would have to give gifts.

Don't mind the people around borrowing money, he really can't open his mouth, although those rascals look hideous, but it's not enough to not borrow money, but he really can't let go of this face.

Then just write a picture. Originally, I thought that as a scholar, he has two sleeves and a strong character, so what if those corrupt officials give more?It's all people's fat and people's anointing, he looks at it coldly, but he can't imagine that these rascals in Suiyulou also have family background and spend a lot of money.

This made him a little unbearable. People love to compare with those around them. No commoner compares with princes and generals, because they are out of the circle of their actual life.

If these rascals from Suiyulou only gave gold and silver things, it would be fine, but there are quite a few arty ones who gave some expensive pens, inkstones, and even calligraphy and paintings by famous masters of the former dynasty.

No matter how good General Lu thought his handwriting was, it was far inferior to those of everyone else, so he felt depressed, drinking alone in the corner, and no one else persuaded him, he didn't know martial arts, and he couldn't talk about it. Go together, let him drink by himself.

At this time, Zhao Tang saw him and waved: "Master Lu!"

General Lu hated this title, but there was nothing he could do. During this period of time, he had just completed the matter of the Yinfang Bookstore that Zhao Tang had told him about. The day before yesterday, he had a business assignment, and Zhao Tang arranged for him a new job, to be the clerk of the printing and selling bookstore. Big shopkeeper.

There is also a big boss above the big shopkeeper, the eighth prince Zhao Chu, who asked the two of them to support the business.

Where did General Lu do business, Zhao Fen's eyes were even darkened, but he didn't want to do it, and he agreed to be a cow and a horse.

General Lu had no choice but to stand up and answer, and then went over: "What orders does the lord have?"

Zhao Tong said: "The business of the bookstore is doing well, let's sit down and drink three cups."

General Lu had no choice but to sit down, he was drinking slowly from a small cup in the corner, but he was not drunk yet, but now after drinking it three times in a large cup, he suddenly became dizzy and was about to fall down, Zhao Tama frowned, Said: "One trash, come and carry it back upstairs."

Immediately, someone stepped forward to set up General Lu and walked out. At this moment, Lei San hurried in and said, "My lord, I have received another gift."

Zhao Tang wondered: "It's so late, who brought it here?"

Lei San took out a letter and said, "It was sent by the young man of the Yue family!"

Zhao Tang glanced at Lu Junyi: "Junior Brother Yue?"

Lu Junyi wondered: "How did Junior Brother Yue know that the prince is holding a hundred-day banquet?"

At this time, Zhao Tong had opened the letterhead and looked at it, shaking his head and said: "Where is the gift for the hundred-day banquet, it is the gift to make up for my wedding banquet... He traveled to the north with the teacher before, and now on the return trip, the teacher returned to his hometown in Shaanxi. He is coming to Tokyo, and he will arrive in a few days."

Lu Junyi smiled and said: "Junior Brother Yue may have to make up some more gifts when he arrives."

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I miss Junior Brother Yue quite a lot. I don't know why Teacher doesn't come to Tokyo?"

Lu Junyi thought about it: "I'm afraid it's because of the teacher's matter that I don't want to meet you face to face?"

Zhao Tong nodded and said: "This time when Junior Brother Yue comes, you must ask carefully, after all, the teacher has given him all the information about the master."

Lu Junyi said: "It's inevitable, at least I don't even know the names of my own juniors and juniors, so it would be a joke to tell them."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "It's because the teacher's calculations are too careful. I acted cruelly in Suzhou this time. Isn't it all because the teacher kept his disciples secret?"

Lu Junyi said: "If all the masters are like that master uncle Yun Jiuxiao, then it's fine for this class of masters."

Zhao Tong said: "That's not necessarily the case. I heard that the old master always hates evil and acts righteously, but I don't know why there are such disciples."

Lu Junyi shook his head and couldn't figure it out in his mind. He could only sigh: "Master, maybe he is a man who has no education and no distinction, and only looks at talent and not character?"

Zhao Tun pondered slightly: "Probably so..."

Unknowingly, three days have passed since the Hundred Days Banquet at Prince Qin's Mansion.

This morning, Zhao Tun sat in the Qingliang Hall behind the palace and watched the murals.

The murals are naturally the stone walls brought back from Hero Island, and now these three stone walls are all lined up in Qingliang Hall.

Qingliang Hall is the only main hall in Prince Qin's Mansion, next to the Cracked Golden Pavilion, Zhao Tang rarely comes here, because the interior is grand and empty, so he put stone walls inside.

Zhao Tang was looking at the second picture of the mural Whale Fighting the Wind and Rain. He sometimes frowned, sometimes thought deeply, and sometimes shook his head. When the sun was noon, he stretched himself and walked out.

Not far from the main hall, Lei San came to him in front of him: "My lord, Xiaolang from the Yue family has arrived."

Zhao Tang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Please come into the study quickly...and then invite General Lu to come over."

After a while, the three of them sat facing each other in the study.

Zhao Tong took a closer look at Yue Fei, but he was taller and stronger. He was still dressed in blue cloth and had a delicate appearance.

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "It's been a few years, why did my junior come to Tokyo every time? Didn't I forget that your two senior brothers are here?"

Yue Fei stood up and saluted the two of them again, and said in a calm and unhurried way: "Senior brother wronged me, I visited once that year, it happened to be the time when my brother led troops to the Huaihe River, and I also came last year, but I went to suppress Fangla again."

Zhao Tong said: "Sit down, sit down, it's worth explaining, what did you go to the north with the teacher?"

Yue Fei said: "Senior brothers, my teacher and I went to Liao Kingdom, and we also met a straight woman."

"You went to the Liao Kingdom?" Lu Junyi took a breath and said, "Junior brother, why did the teacher take you to the Liao Kingdom?"

Yue Fei said: "Actually, the teacher wanted to take me to see the girls of the state of Jin, but there is no border between Song and Jin, so we can only go by sea, but the teacher didn't want to go to sea, so he crossed through the Liao border."

"Female straight?" Lu Junyi looked at Zhao Tun when he heard the words, he didn't know that there was a Jurchen mission coming to Tokyo.

Zhao Tong didn't speak, and wondered why Zhou Tong would take Yue Fei across the Liao border to see the Jurchen, this is an extremely dangerous thing.

When he killed Aguda of Yan and fled across the Liao border, he could see the formidable scene everywhere. After Aguda's death, there was no telling how much more defenses would be added to the border. It was not easy to make a round trip.

"It's the female straight." Yue Fei said, also looking at Zhao Tun.

Zhao Tong was silent for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master, why did you bring Junior Brother Yue to see the female straight? You know, there is Liao Kingdom between me, Da Song, and the female straight."

Lu Junyi nodded beside him, with an expression that he couldn't guess what Zhou Tong meant.

Yue Fei's face was slightly red and he said: "Third Senior Brother, this is a test for me. The teacher said that you can definitely guess his intentions, and also asked me to convey everything I saw and heard on the road to Senior Brother."

Zhao Tang laughed loudly when he heard the words, and Lu Junyi also laughed, looking at the blushing young man in front of him, he was very happy.

"So the two senior brothers did it on purpose." Yue Fei also laughed.

"Let's talk about what Junior Brother Yue and Teacher observed along the way." Zhao Tang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Yue Fei nodded and started talking, and it took more than an hour before he stopped.

At this moment, Zhao Tun's expression was serious, and Lu Junyi's brows were slightly furrowed.

After a moment of silence in the study room, Zhao Tong sighed: "A great chivalrous man serves the country and the people, and the teacher is the true chivalrous man! I have remembered the teacher's good intentions!"

Lu Junyi nodded repeatedly, but asked again: "I don't know why the teacher returned to Shaanxi and didn't meet us in Tokyo?"

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "Teacher has decided to live in Huashan for the elderly, and probably won't go out again, even if it's overseas, if there is no serious problem, he won't go again."

Overseas teachers?Zhao Tong and Lu Junyi looked at each other, and Zhao Tong coughed lightly and said, "Junior brother, the teacher has never mentioned anything about this matter in our school. Since you know, please tell us in detail."

Lu Junyi also said: "Since the teacher has decided to go into seclusion now, you might as well say it now."

Yue Fei looked at the two of them, wondering: "Of course I should say it, but looking at the expressions of the two senior brothers, could it be that they have met someone from the master's school?"

Zhao Tong thought for a while, and then told the story of Suzhou Yunjiuxiao.

Yue Fei's face was not very good after hearing this, and he said: "The teacher didn't say anything about the conduct of the elders in the school, but he explained all kinds of relationships to me clearly. I will tell the two senior brothers now."

After a while, after Yue Fei finished his narration, Zhao Tun's heart was already smoothing out the pulse of Jintai.

Jintai is a master of ancient and modern martial arts. It is the No. 1 martial arts legend in the world. It is known as the best boxing kung fu in the world.

He had learned a lot of Jianghu Sangong at the beginning, and he could almost master it just by looking at it. He was very talented, but his official teacher was Master Songshan Hongyun.

If you talk about his lineage from Master Hongyun of Songshan Mountain, there are many side branches. There are probably hundreds of monks and laymen, but there is no need to mention Xiangyuan, just say that it comes from him. A total of three disciples were accepted, namely Taoist Zhou Tong, Yun Jiuxiao, and Qi Yu.

Among them, Zhou Tong had five disciples, Yun Jiuxiao had eight more disciples, Taoist Qi Yu was a female crown, and had three disciples.

After hearing Yue Fei's words, Zhao Tang said, "Junior brother Yue said just now that the master's school is overseas?"

Yue Fei said: "The teacher said that the gate is now above the East China Sea, and it is managed by Uncle Qi Yu. As for the master, he is not there."

Lu Junyi wondered: "Where did Master go if he wasn't in the Daoist Hall?"

Yue Fei said: "The teacher and I just talked briefly, saying that the master went back to Songshan many years ago, and it seems that he is going to die there."

Zhao Tong wondered, the master's age was estimated to be over a hundred years old, since he decided to retire in Songshan, why did he go to the East China Sea to open up a dojo?
Lu Junyi also had this question, so he couldn't help but asked, "Why doesn't Shigong live in Donghai for the elderly?"

Yue Fei smiled wryly and said: "There is a public case here. I heard from the teacher that it was still shaking the rivers, lakes and green forests. At that time, when the master was still in Songshan, someone challenged him one day. No one in the temple could beat him. Master Hongyun was about to pass away at that time. I don't want to He couldn't make a move either, and finally Master stood up and faced the challenger."

Zhao Tong said: "Who is so powerful that he would challenge Songshan alone?"

Yue Fei said: "It's a young and beautiful woman, from Xixia Zizai Sect, her name is Li Canghai..."

Zhao Tong glanced at Lu Junyi: "Xixia Zizaimen?"

Lu Junyi shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, I'm afraid it's somewhere hidden in the world."

Yue Fei continued: "Master and that Li Canghai fought for a day and a night, but there was no winner. Later, the two of them gave up and made peace, and then..."

"Then what?" Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes.

"Then the two fell in love with each other. It seemed that after many ups and downs, they finally got married. Later, the master withdrew from the court and went to the East China Sea to open up the master's dojo..."

Lu Junyi said in surprise: "Isn't that the master?"

Yue Fei bowed his head and said: "Eldest brother, that's exactly the case. You were disrespectful to the teacher's mother-in-law just now. It's the younger brother's disrespect!"

Zhao Tong said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, why did Master return to Songshan Mountain many years ago..."

Yue Fei said: "I heard from the teacher that the Xixia Zizaimen martial arts learned by the master is flawed, sometimes the blood is retrograde, the hair is half black and half white, and the person changes from time to time, and finally turns back. For a thorough cure, we can only try our best to prolong the life of the master, but even so, in the end, he died before he was six years old, and the master was so sad that he left the East China Sea and returned to Songshan to die."

"It turns out that there is such a secret, but I didn't expect it." Zhao Tong nodded.

"It's no wonder that Yun Jiuxiao is so rampant and shapeless. It turns out that it's the reason why Shigong retired from Songshan long ago and no longer manages the sect." Lu Junyi also said.

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "By the way, Junior Brother Yue, what are the names of the Second Senior Brother and Fourth Junior Sister?"

Yue Fei said: "The teacher said that the second senior brother is the son of an old friend on Jinghu South Road, called Qiu Shao, and the fourth junior sister is called Lin Wanfeng, which seems to have something to do with Xixia Zizaimen, but the teacher just mentioned it vaguely, and the specific relationship is not clear to me. speak."

Zhao Tong nodded and smiled, "It's good to know now, it's not far from left and right, if you have free time, go to Songshan Mountain to pay a visit to this master, maybe you can get some advice."

Yue Fei blinked, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, the teacher already knew that you would have such thoughts, let me pass the message to you, even if you go there, you can't find the master, so don't waste your efforts in vain."

Zhao Tang was embarrassed immediately, and said with a sneer: "But just think about it, the teacher really thinks he has a magic trick... Let's not talk, let's not talk, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we must get drunk today!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered people to set up wine, and the three of them drank until the willow shoots were on the moon and the stars shook the Milky Way, before they each rested.
