Chapter 48
These eunuchs were all eunuchs who had defied their power. They were not as evaded as ministers as the emperor praised female tricks. They were all talking about the grand scenes in the palace that day, and they were talking about the sky.
At this time, Zhao Huan thought he was well-informed and the things of this era were no longer surprised. When he heard that there were twenty-four districts in the Tokyo Palace, there were thousands of palaces, thousands of female geniuses raised, and they were all carefully selected and national styles, but he was also shocked.
"Corrupt, corrupt! It seems that the corruption of us officials is not as good as that of feudal emperors!"
He cursed in his heart, but he felt a little regretful. Unfortunately, he was still too late to come to Zhao Huan. It was not the time to enjoy himself. It seemed that he didn't know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, so that he could repeat the grand occasion of the past.
But the eunuchs continued, "The girls came up, galloped in groups, leaping on horseback, and shot the thin willow branches in front of Chongzheng Hall with the wide-spread arrows, and shot the hydrangeas that were rolling all over the ground with the rushing horses. They rode horses like straight children, but they were more elegant and lighter than the men; they shot bows like men, and they could pull the divine arm bow that was three feet and two inches long, two feet and five inches long, and can break the armor at once."
Zhao Heng was so waving that he was shaking his eyes and secretly imagined it.
What a beautiful scenery it was. The grass and trees were deep, and there were green. Hundreds of men with a sarcastic look on their faces. Looking at the woman in a red robe and a white face, she took a bow and took an arrow. The arrow didn't need to be fired!
Just thinking about this, I am really sorry.
If Zhao Ji had used the skills of cultivating these female geniuses to be slightly used on the imperial guards stationed in Beijing, and would not have been so undone, how could he be destroyed by the country so easily?
He was no longer happy. An eunuch didn't know his intentions, and he said that the emperor was still happy to hear it. He also said: "At that time, a literary servant Lou Yu wrote a poem to praise: The long rider in front hugged a hydrangea, and the latter rider was like a star. The hydrangea flying in the middle was the most difficult to shoot, and three or four out of ten were called You. This poem was the situation at that time."
There were a few drops of ink in the belly of the eunuch, and he could recite the poems and essays of that day without saying a word.
Zhao Huan finally couldn't bear it and asked coldly: "Where is this building key now?"
Everyone was stunned and bowed their heads and thought for a while. Finally, someone replied: "It seems that they were captured by the Jin people. They are now imprisoned in the five countries."
Zhao Huan paused and shouted, "Don't I know! You should not mention these again in the future. If you want to have the idea of letting me expand the palace and raising more girls to gain wealth from it, I will send you to the city of Five Kingdoms to accompany the emperor!"
These people were so motivated, but because Zhao Heng said this idea was revealed by Zhao Heng, one by one, and they immediately became afraid of Han Cicada. They dared not say anything more.
While speaking, the female genius summoned from the Empress Dowager had already been outside the pavilion, but the pavilion was talking lively and had to wait outside.
Hearing the sound of the cabinet, the female savage said, "My concubine Wenting, I am here to serve the official family."
Zhao Fu's interest was already a little destroyed, but the other party was the person who served by the Empress Dowager, so he was not inconvenient to neglect it. He had to respond: "Come in."
"yes."
The outside first responded crisply and then a pair of white and slender hands gently pushed open the door.
The fingers are slender, slender, and soft as if boneless, which is exactly the hand shape that Zhao Huan likes very much.
The sun was shining outside the pavilion. When the door opened, a green figure flashed in, and the light quickly passed by the figure.
Zhao Huan casually glanced across his eyes and looked at the other person's eyes.
I just felt that the other person's eyes were not as panicked as ordinary officials, but were quiet and as peaceful as a pool of autumn water.
I haven't looked at such a look for a long time. After a moment, the other party lowered his head and bowed, and Zhao Heng felt like he was missing.
Tyrannical, brutal, hatred
Admiration, respect, fear
Or out of various thoughts, the kind of false admiration that can be seen through at a glance.
"Get up, don't be too polite."
With the intention of looking at the other party more, Zhao Huan immediately ordered the female trick to get up.
However, after Wenting was ordered to stand up, she bowed her head silently and refused to give the emperor a chance to look at him.
Zhao Heng sighed softly, looked at the other party's beautiful face, and asked quietly: "What skills do you have?"
For a female savant, it is not polite to ask questions directly in this way, but if the other party's identity is an emperor, it is naturally not a problem.
Wen Tingfu blessed her and replied in a low voice: "Two zithers of music should be accepted by the officials."
Zhao Heng shook his head with a smile and replied, "It's too noisy, I want to be quiet."
After being called back, Wenting was not panicked and asked tentatively: "Why do I read a passage of Zhuangzi to the official family?"
Zhao Heng laughed silently and said to himself: "Reading aloud is also a skill?"
He wanted to refuse again, but just looked at the weak and beautiful woman, and felt a little soft for no reason, and immediately replied, "Okay, I'll listen."
After saying that, I just felt that I was in a bad mood and smiled bitterly.
A man like him, no matter how beautiful a woman is, he cannot really move him. Only a woman who looks beautiful and delicate will make him feel uneasy.
Since Zhao Huan agreed, Wenting took a few steps forward and was closer to the emperor.
Wen Ting, green clothes, ducks and ducks, Tingting, arrived at the middle of the pavilion, and raised her head behind her back, for a moment, her temperament seemed to be transformed and suddenly changed. She heard her voice say loudly: "Xie pity the squirrel, the squirrel, the squirrel, the squirrel, the wind, the eyes, the eyes, the heart. Xie said to Qi, "I walk with one foot and I'm not as good as it is! Now I'm giving ten thousand feet, what can I do?" Qi said: "Otherwise, I can't see the saliva? The big ones are like pearls, the small ones are like fog, and there are countless people who are mixed and mist. Now I move my secrets, but I don't know why." Qi said:
The snake said, "Why is it because I am walking with my feet but not as thin as my son's feet?" The snake said, "Why can I change my evil spirit? How can I use my feet?" The snake said to the wind, "I move my spine and my sides, and there is something similar. Now I start from the North Sea and enter the South Sea. It seems to be nothing, why?" The wind said, "However, I start from the North Sea and enter the South Sea, but pointing to me, and I will beat me. Although, I can only break big trees and spread big houses. Therefore, I can only win the big victory if the small ones are not win. Only the saints can win the big victory if they are big victory."
This passage is both difficult and ancient, but it is a passage from Zhuangzi's "Autumn Water Chapter".
Wenting obviously worked hard on reading aloud. She had no sense of stagnation when she recited, and her voice was crisp and lovely. She memorized this ancient and mysterious autumn water chapter, and her voice and appearance were fascinating.
After all, Zhao Huan learned Chinese systematically, and by the Song Dynasty, he deliberately strengthened his ancient Chinese attainments. Not only did he know that the other party was memorizing the Qiushui chapter, but he knew his meaning.
But I was first attracted by Wen Ting's temperament when she recited it. For a while, I couldn't imagine the meaning of her memorizing this passage.
Just when she finished her memorizing and retreated, Zhao Heng felt as if he had realized something.
This passage is about these animals explaining their own ways of walking. Then, through the description of the wind, we explain a truth.
Zhao Huan smiled and asked Wenting, "Did the Queen Mother ask you to memorize this paragraph?"
Wenting only felt that the official's attitude was surprisingly kind, but she was surprised, but she did not dare to neglect it. She quickly replied: "No, I'm the one who chooses it at will."
Zhao Heng said: "You choose as you like, and it will be in line with my mood."
He stood up and murmured, "Only you can win if you don't compete with others. But all things are born with their own strengths and weaknesses. If a king is good at using it, he will achieve twice the result with half the effort."
He slowly walked to Wenting and looked at it from head to toe, only to feel very pleasant.
In a very happy mood, he said loudly: "Come here, I will give you ten taels of gold."
As an emperor, such rewards are extremely ordinary and even shabby. However, an emperor who treats Zhao Huan as his life and treats him very harshly, is a rare reward.
Wenting smiled sweetly, leaned over and bowed, and said in a sweet voice: "Thank you for the official family's reward."
Zhao Huan was moved to see it, but turned his head and waved, "Go, I'm already calm. When I went back to see the Queen Mother, I only talked about the essence of the Qiu Shui Chapter, and I understand."
Although the woman said that the article she recited had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager, Zhao Huan did not believe it.
Wenting stared at him, bowed again, and then turned around and left.
Zhao Heng looked at her back and felt lost. After a long time, he smiled and whispered: "I originally wanted to calm down, but it was a huge rock that threw itself into the pond."
Just as Zhao Heng was struggling to resist the so-called "intellectual demon", there was a group of two people in the city gate of Chang'an, a strangely dressed pair, waiting for the inspection at the city gate.
At that time, there was no local road invented by Zhu Yuanzhang, nor did the people's free circulation be restricted, but because Chang'an was the place where the emperor stayed. No matter how the inspection was conducted and the elite level of the defenders of each gate were no longer comparable to Jingzhao Mansion.
Because there was no certificate, the gatekeeper only asked the other party’s hometown, identity, and what activities they did in the city according to the customs at that time. If it was in the Tang Dynasty, it would still require a shop guard at the place to move in.
The Song Dynasty emphasized commerce and had extremely high social and economic development, which also greatly changed the number and quality of migrant population.
Although the emperor lives in the city at this time, it cannot stop people from communicating with each other.
The two people who were investigated had a very leisurely attitude. The old man was wearing Taoist robe, while the young man was wearing the robe of a scholar. They interrogated the imperial guards with questions and answers, neither humble nor arrogant. Although this combination was extremely strange, there was no flaw.
The leader of the gate guards quickly lost interest in them, and turned his attention to a large number of caravans that rushed over not far away, waved his hand, and politely signaled them that they could enter the city.
The old man was Yao Pingzhong, and the one who cooperated with him was naturally Yu Yunwen.
After watching Yue Fei defeat Liu Guangshi, the two were not optimistic about the future of Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu. Therefore, they flatly rejected the other party's kindness to sponsor, observed Yue Fei's military camp, and left quietly. They first went to Jiangzhun, traveled to Jiankang and other places, then walked north of the river, disguised as small travel vendors, from Shandong to Hebei, then crossed the entire Hedong area, from Hedong to Shaanxi, and from Hedong to Chang'an City.
