The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 358
The capital city in summer is hot and quiet.

In this season, the capital city is not particularly lively. Every afternoon, people will always feel a little leisurely, or stay in front of the window to read a favorite collection of words, or stand in a daze against the wind, everything is so leisurely.

The court has been very quiet in recent days, but everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

So everyone's heart is restless.

But there are a few exceptions.

Such as willow flavor.

When Liu Wei made up his mind to not do anything, he no longer cared about these things in the court. Since he wanted to stay out of it, it was better not to care about anything, otherwise it would be easy to get stuck.

Therefore, in such a season suitable for daze and leisure, what Liu Wei does most often is to accompany Princess Ruyi to play music in the small quiet pavilion in the afternoon, or go to the Liu Family Winery to discuss food with Guan Qingyi.

Since Guan Qingyi returned to the capital with Liu Wei, Liu Wei arranged Guan Qingyi in the Liu Family Winery and asked him to be in charge of the food for the staff of the Liu Family Winery. Apart from Guan Qingyi's talent for making steamed buns, he is also very good at other delicacies. With talent, Liu Wei only needs to tell him how to cook many meals that Liu Wei wants to eat, and Guan Tsing Yi can cook them immediately, and they are absolutely delicious.

On a hot summer day, having a cold jar of beer and asking Guan Tsing Yi to cook a few side dishes, tasting and drinking at the same time, is really very pleasant.

Of course, sometimes Liu Wei would go to private restaurants with Zhao Defang and Cao Jue to drink, chat with some friends from the rivers and lakes, and listen to their stories about their adventures in the rivers and lakes.

Their stories may not be as legendary as those written in martial arts novels, but most of their stories can reflect various problems in the Song Dynasty, such as the rampant behavior of local officials, such as the local bully Xiongtian.

From the stories of these quacks, people can always hear sadness and various melancholy.

Whenever the wine is full, everyone will always shout for justice, even Zhao Defang is like this, he will even propose to go to the rivers and lakes with those rivers and lakes, and together to quell the injustices everywhere in the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Liu Wei would always look at Zhao Defang calmly. What kind of person is this eight sage king who is almost a saint written in the legendary storybook?

Could it be that looking at the situation in the court, he really has not been moved?
This made Liu Wei couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Zhao Defang. At that time, the Bianhe River was Taotao. He subconsciously felt that Zhao Defang should have the desire to fight for power and profit, and his behavior at that time did give people this feeling.

Because he would actually fight for the dragon boat race, and he would not hesitate to bet heavily on it.

In Liu Wei's view, a person's character can be seen from one thing, and a person's character is generally not easy to change, so when Zhao Defang suddenly got mixed up with a gangster, Liu Wei was really curious.

Jianghu guest is a very unique group in the Song Dynasty. They are very free among the people, and they always talk about justice for the sky. They kill people because of these, and more often, the court just adds one thing to it. With one eye closed.

If their strength is gathered, it will definitely not be small, otherwise the Liangshan hero in the Water Margin would not have almost touched the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Wei always felt that everything Zhao Defang did was for a purpose.

The current situation in the court is that King Jin, King Wei and King Wu have almost divided up the power. Join the rivers and lakes, want to cultivate a force from these rivers and lakes?

This is not impossible, and Liu Wei's hope is that Zhao Defang will never do this.

A person who relies on the forces of the rivers and lakes to seize power can only use violence, and violence and war consume a country the most. Liu Wei does not want the prosperous Song Dynasty to suddenly decline because of this.

In Liu Wei's view, a country may be prosperous one moment, but suddenly decline the next moment. This kind of thing is not impossible to happen. This is not the case with those short-lived dynasties in history, even the Northern Song Dynasty in history. of.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Wei would like to remind Zhao Defang that it doesn't matter if he makes friends with Jianghu friends, but don't play too much.

But Liu Wei never said this, because he didn't know how to tell Zhao Defang. It stands to reason that his relationship with Zhao Defang is very good. If Zhao Defang wants to fight for power, he should fight for himself, but Zhao Defang has never done it These things didn't even have hints, which made Liu Wei not know how to speak.
-
In general, summer is laid-back, but it can also be a warm bed of intrigue at times.

Wei Wangfu.

At this time, King Wei didn't care whether Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move the capital, he didn't even care about any decision Zhao Kuangyin made, the only thing he wanted to do now was to control the imperial army.

Now with his hard work, he has mastered almost one-third of the forbidden army. With these forbidden troops, he feels that he is enough to do whatever he wants to do, but sometimes people just refuse to be satisfied, even if he has already obtained A lot, and he wants more.

Therefore, he also wanted to capture some more forbidden troops from Zhao Kuangyin.

In the study room, the chirping of cicadas outside the window was a bit noisy.

After Wei Wang drank a cup of herbal tea lightly, he said to the person opposite: "How is it, Gu Donglin still refuses to submit to this king?"

The man on the opposite side is well-proportioned and has a refined appearance. He is Luo Tongshen, one of the coaches of the four imperial guards in the capital.

Luo Tong nodded deeply: "This kid is a bit foolish and loyal. He is very loyal to the current emperor. It is not easy to subdue him. Neither money nor beauty can impress him."

Speaking of this, Luo Tong sighed deeply, and said: "My lord, now that Gu Donglin doesn't listen to persuasion, we can't control his imperial army, what should we do?"

King Wei put down the teacup, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since he is disobedient, then we should kill him and cultivate an obedient person."

Luo Tong frowned deeply, and then said: "What the prince said is very true, but Gu Donglin is deeply favored by the Holy One, it is not easy to destroy him."

The meaning of Luo Tongshen's words is very simple and clear, that is, it seems a bit difficult to get Gu Donglin imprisoned by framing, and it is a bit troublesome to send a killer. Gu Donglin can become the instructor of the Imperial Army, and his martial arts are definitely not covered. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has the courage of all men.

After hearing Luo Tongshen's words, King Wei smiled slightly: "You don't know Zhao Kuangyin, he won't trust anyone, as long as the method is proper, it's easy for him to doubt Gu Donglin."

When Luo Tongshen heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "The prince still understands the Holy One, but how should we frame Gu Donglin?"

King Wei waved his hand slightly, Luo Tongshen came over, and King Wei whispered something in Luo Tongshen's ear, after that, King Wei smiled again: "Do you understand?"

Luo Tong raised his brows deeply, and said with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful, the prince is really wonderful, even if he can be sent to prison by other methods, it will not arouse the Holy Majesty's suspicion of him, but this method is enough to make him irreparable. "

At this time, King Wei didn't show too complacent, but said coldly: "Now that you understand it, let's do it quickly, but remember, it must be done seamlessly, and no trace can be seen by others."

The chirping of cicadas was a bit raging.

Gu Donglin had a faint feeling of uneasiness. Recently, he always felt that someone was watching him in the dark, but after several investigations, he couldn't find anything unusual.

At dusk, when the sun was setting and the wind was blowing softly, when he was about to go home, Luo Tongshen stopped himself suddenly.

For Luo Tongshen, Gu Donglin has always been a little annoyed, but we are both colleagues, and he is not easy to get angry.

"Coach Gu, the weather is nice today, why don't you go for a drink?"

Gu Donglin sneered: "I'm a little tired today, but my coach thinks it's better to go home and rest."

Hearing Gu Donglin's words, Luo Tongshen was not angry, and said: "If that's the case, forget it, but there is something I want to tell Gu Jiaotou, I heard that Gu Jiaotou was just a street beggar before, a man named Dong Your wife often helps you, so you survived and achieved what you are today?"

After saying this, Luo Tongshen showed a weird smile, and then left with a big laugh. Gu Donglin frowned, looking at Luo Tongshen's words, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Why did Luo Tongshen say these things to himself? What's his purpose?
What Luo Tongshen said just now is indeed true. He, Gu Donglin, was just a beggar on the street many years ago. He was able to survive and achieve what he is today with the help of Mrs. Dong. It can be said that without Mrs. Dong, there would be no Gu Donglin. Donglin's today, so after he became prosperous, he bought a house in the capital for Mrs. Dong, and brought her and her family here.

Is it?

Gu Donglin suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore. He had never told anyone else this secret, but Luo Tongshen knew it, and told himself that he had always wanted to win him over. Could it be that they wanted to use Mrs. Dong to threaten him? ?
Thinking of this, Gu Donglin didn't care about anything else, and hurried to Mrs. Dong's house. If Luo Tongshen really dared to do anything to her, he swore that he would never let him go.

People living in this world, after all, want to repay kindness. Maybe the things Mrs. Dong gave him back then are not worth mentioning to him now, but those things saved his life. He will never allow any people hurt him.

Originally, the wind in the evening was a little gentle, but now, in Gu Donglin's view, it couldn't be hotter. His heart was a little crazy, so crazy that he almost burst out of his body.

But what Gu Donglin didn't know was that when he was rushing to Mrs. Dong's house, Xue Juzheng, the political counselor at the time, was walking towards the palace, and he wanted to report a major event to Zhao Kuangyin.
