The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 150
The relationship between Fang La, Zhao Ji, and Zhao Si became better and better as time went by.Zhao Ji dances and writes, Fang La and Zhao Si compete with each other in martial arts, and Zhao Si's martial arts also advances by leaps and bounds under Fang La's guidance.Moreover, he taught some martial arts from the Western Regions, and Zhao seemed to reciprocate them, but he did not disclose the "Taizu Changquan", which is an ancestor's precept that must not be violated.

Fang La has stayed in Zhao Ji's mansion for more than a month. As the leader of the Manichaeism, he had a very happy conversation with Zhao Ji and Zhao Si during these days. During the discussion, he focused on nothing else, until he received a letter from the church, he realized that he hadn't returned for more than a month, and if he didn't go back, there would be chaos in the church.

"Two brothers, I have stayed here for too long, and I am afraid that I will leave soon. If there is a destiny, we brothers will meet again!"

Fang La's sudden words surprised Zhao Ji and Zhao Si, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, why is it so urgent, why did you leave in such a hurry?"

"The two brothers don't know. The Dharma protectors in the teaching have sent a message saying that the teaching staff are looking for me everywhere. If I don't go back, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the teaching. Besides, I have stayed for more than a month again. I will always remember the friendship between the two brothers. Yu Xin, I'm afraid I can't stay any longer!"

Seeing that Fang La had made up his mind, Zhao Ji didn't want to keep her anymore, and sighed: "My brother has seen a lot and learned a lot these days. If we say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other again. Since my brother decided to leave Go, then have a drink and send brother out of the city!"

Fang La thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my second brother, but I will be disrespectful to that brother!"

That night, Zhao Ji hosted a banquet in honor of Fang La, and it was also a farewell banquet to send him off, so all three of them got drunk.

The next day, Zhao Ji and Zhao Si opened their eyes after waking up from the drunkenness, but they could no longer see Fang La. They hurriedly asked the servants in the mansion, but they didn't know where Fang La had gone.At the same time, they also saw the note left by Fang La: "The kindness of the two virtuous brothers, I appreciate it! If you don't leave, I'm afraid there will be troubles, so I leave without saying goodbye, and see you someday!"

"Brother Huang, brother is gone!" Zhao Si sighed sadly as he looked at the note left by Fang La.

Zhao Ji was also a little sad. These days, he felt Fang La's care for the two of them.Even though Fang La came from a reckless background and was a righteous person, when he taught Zhao Si martial arts, he was like a master teaching his disciples, teaching them carefully, talking about the world with Zhao Ji, and telling the places where he traveled in the mountains and rivers these years.

Suddenly, Zhao Si said: "Brother Huang, I want to leave the capital to find my brother."

"Thirteenth brother, do you really think so? Why?" Zhao Ji exclaimed. He knew that Zhao seemed to be addicted to martial arts, so he would not leave the capital at this time. It would be dangerous if the minister found out.

Zhao Si said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, Brother Fang left in such a hurry, presumably something must have happened to the Manichaeism. Although my brother's martial arts skills are strong and he is not afraid, but with his own strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to face thousands of people. There are thousands of horses in the army, and I want to go to help him."

Zhao Ji understood what Zhao Si meant, and he also found it strange.Before, Fang La had said that it would take some time, but he left without saying goodbye after drinking that night, which shows that he left in such a hurry.Moreover, the note left by Fang La was also written in a hurry. Zhao Ji pointed out this word to him, so he knew it, otherwise it might not be known by another person.

"In that case, I will go with you!" Zhao Ji mused.

Zhao Si hurriedly replied: "Brother Huang, you must not leave the capital. If you also leave the capital, if the queen mother and ministers find out, I'm afraid that both of us will be in danger. With the queen mother's temper, I'm afraid we can't escape the blame. Besides , I have never coveted the throne, and I don't care at all, if you leave too, what troubles will happen to the court ministers, and it will be out of control at that time."

Zhao Ji thought about it and felt that what Zhao Si said was quite right. At this time, the ministers of the court and the queen mother were at loggerheads over the matter of choosing a monarch for the Song Dynasty. The core figures of this struggle were the two of them.If he also leaves, he is afraid that the Queen Mother will find out that he will be severely punished. Not only will the throne be lost, but even his own title will be in danger. He has to think about it.

"Brother Huang, it's only natural for me to help him. After all, he is my elder brother and half my master. These days, things that I couldn't figure out before have become clear under his guidance. Moreover, Brother Huang himself is a literati, how can he fight against those people, you should stay in the capital, so that even if you find out that I have left the capital, you can safely ascend to the Great Treasure and become the emperor."

Zhao Si knew in his heart that he was not the emperor's candidate, and even if the ministers of the court supported him, he would not have this ambition.However, Zhao Ji and him are brothers, and he also knows Zhao Ji's literary talents and talents, so it is only natural to give up the throne. It is the best result for Zhao Si to ascend the throne directly.

"We'll discuss this matter later, but we should think about how to find Brother Fang is the top priority!" Zhao Ji was also conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he was a brother who was like a brother, and on the other hand, the throne was at his fingertips. Anyone would be entangled, let alone Duan Wang Zhao Ji.

Zhao Si said in a deep voice: "If you guess correctly, Brother Fang will definitely go to Yunxin Temple on this trip!"

Zhao Ji wondered, "How did you know?"

"A few days ago, Brother Fang mentioned this place when he was discussing with me." Zhao Si replied truthfully, "Brother Fang La once said that this place is surrounded by endless mountain peaks for tens of miles. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for spreading morality. At the beginning, Manichaeism was severely damaged by the extermination of Buddhism in the former Tang Dynasty, so it was turned underground, and later spread to Jiangnan and other places. He felt that this place was the most suitable place to establish a general altar, so he must go there."

"If this is the case, then it will take more than a month for us to go back and forth to Yunxin Temple. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide from the Queen Mother's eyeliner. At that time, we will really be blamed." Zhao Ji pondered, gritting his teeth , said unswervingly: "If such a talent serves the court, I'm afraid he will be another general, no matter! I will go with you, even if I am punished by the Queen Mother!"

Zhao Si said anxiously: "Brother Huang!..."

"It's nothing. I missed it this time. It won't matter in a few days. If such a talent is lost, I'm afraid it will be the court's loss." Zhao Ji smiled lightly and said: "If you really sneak out of the capital, Going far to Yunshan Temple, I'm afraid it will be bad if the queen mother finds out. Why don't we tell the truth and ask for orders to go directly?"

Zhao Si was startled and said, "What does the emperor mean?"

"In these days, although I have been playing with words and ink, I have not done nothing, and I have also observed his talent." Zhao Ji smiled, "This man is bold and upright, he is righteous, he is not surprised, and he does things rigorously. In my eyes. If not, how can I worship him, because this person has this qualification, he is a real talent."

"If the imperial court loses this person, it must lose a general. We might as well go to the palace, meet the queen mother, and report the matter to her, so as to recruit such talents to serve the imperial court. It is the first achievement. In addition, Yunshan Temple It was also the Taoist presence, and there is a legend that "the stone gate is not locked nine times, and the gate of heaven is not closed at night!" It is also a Taoist paradise, and you can also pray for the Song Dynasty, so it is not beautiful!"

"Worthy of being the emperor's brother, you are so thoughtful!" Zhao Si admired secretly, he hadn't thought about it so much, but Zhao Ji drew inferences from one instance, from sneaking out of the capital to leaving the capital openly, so he would be safe and sound, but he was a little worried about the Queen Mother Will you agree.

Therefore, Zhao Xi told Zhao Ji about his worries, but unexpectedly, Zhao Ji said that he had his own way to deal with this matter, so he didn't need to worry.Afterwards, he hurried into the palace to meet the queen mother.
