Zhao Ji sent eunuchs from the Inner Servant Province to announce his visit, which was somewhat unexpected by Xiao Tang. After all, that merry man has never been interested in war, and Xiao Tang has returned to Beijing several times in the past, but it was only when Zhao Ji was playing music that he suddenly thought about it, and then he was called by others.

It seems that this time, he rushed to the western border court as a deputy envoy, but he led several troops and horses to fight for great success, and also interfered in Tong Guan's good deeds...... The reactions of both the officials and the ministers in Bianjing have gradually changed.

Since it was summoned by the Son of Heaven, Xiao Tang had to temporarily say goodbye to the generals present, and instructed Shi Xiu, Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong and other henchmen to take Liu Fa into Beijing and settle down, and then followed the eunuch sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Imperial City of Bianliang Inner Palace in Tokyo.

The capital of the Great Song Dynasty is still prosperous, but Xiao Tang has also noticed that there are countless large and small ships on the Caoyun waterway that flows through Bianjing, although the weather is still cold, there are countless people and laborers whose clothes have long been soaked with stinky sweat are busy on the dock ships.

Not only what Xiao Tang saw in front of him, but also the boats carrying granite boulders on the Bianhe, Huimin River, Guangji River, and Jinshui River that flow through Bianjing, and the boats carrying them are endless, and the people are congested in several streets in the northeast corner of the palace city leading to Bianjing, and some officials in the city are scolding loudly, like driving pigs and sheep, and ordering many migrant workers to carry granite boulders.

Xiao Tang suddenly realized that in the past two years, he had been ordered to suppress Hedong and open to the border court to fight with the army of Xia State, and he had not returned to Bianjing for a long time, but Zhao Ji had already issued an order and began to build Genyue Shoushan (originally known as Wansui Mountain) in Bianjing Palace.

In the Great Song Dynasty Zhenghe seven years have begun to build, it is said that will be completed with Xuanhe four years of Gen Yue, although in the garden of the mountain can be called a collection of masters, the mountains face each other from east to west, before and after, the left mountain and the right water, the back stream and the side ridge, continuous and full, swallow the mountain and Huai Valley...... In the garden, strange flowers and beautiful trees are planted, rare birds and beasts are raised, and the buildings and forests are constructed, and the luxurious scenery is naturally unparalleled in the world. However, Zhao Ji wanted to build Genyue, which "encompasses the beauty of the world and the victory of ancient and modern Tibet", and wanted a piece of Taoist cave heaven and blessed land, so he wanted to build a mountain in Bianliang City.

Originally, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were frugal and scrupulous, but when it was passed on to this generation, there was an unscrupulous descendant like Zhao Ji who wanted to ruin the family of the previous emperors. The Song and Xia national wars were already a waste of money and labor, and the construction of Genyue was still continuing, and Huashigang still wanted to plague the people of all military states in the south of the Yangtze River for several years... The world is still in turmoil, thieves and rebel forces in various places still have to rise up, and the good people of all places still have to be oppressed by the government in peacetime, and they are not allowed to survive in wartime...... Even if the iron-blooded soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty died to protect the country, in order to protect Zhao Ji's country, and let this guy continue to wrecklessly harm?

Xiao Tang's mood became worse and worse, he drove his horse forward, looking at the servants and laborers who were working hard under the scolding of the officials with a solemn face. The eunuch of the Inner Servant Province behind him raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, his face showed disgust, as if he thought that the mud legs around him were dirty, and when those servants raised their heads and looked at the Bianjing officials and nobles who were driving not far from them, Xiao Tang could clearly see that most of the servants did not have a trace of anger on their faces, and some people swallowed their anger under the swaggering officials, but they also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so they could only use their bodies full of friction and use wooden poles to stand Push with a cart and use the last bit of strength to carry those heavy flowers and stones that are several feet high......

The requirements of the people in the world are not high, and they will not easily give up their lives to rise up, but as long as there is a way to live, it is also normal for most people to live a submissive life under the abuse of officials and evil officials in the government. But Zhao Ji became more and more unscrupulous, and even with those powerful and traitorous officials, he had to force the people of the Great Song Dynasty to death and rebellion......

Xiao Tang sighed in his heart, he also knew that he could be in the officialdom and court today, and it was also because the Son of Heaven liked the repertoire he rescored, lingering in the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Building, and now the head of the line in Bianliang, Tokyo, Liu Yingyan, said all the good things to Zhao Ji for him, to put it bluntly, he was also the beneficiary of the nepotism of the merry emperor. However, Xiao Tang never believed that the situation in various places under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty became more and more dynamic, because "the state has traitors and blinds Shengcong", and the Son of Heaven is still very holy and so on. Xiao Tang also knew very well that he had supported several people in the green forest, sooner or later, no matter which way, he would eventually let the whole world know, even if he could turn the tide when the Jin army invaded the south, but when the court learned about the major events that he had planned, he still had to be loyal to the court and repay the favor of Fang Jinzi?

Fuck it, I don't plan to keep singing praises for a faint king.

No matter how long I have to be a powerful minister, what I need to plan and think about in the future is not only to resist the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom, which is now taking advantage of the rise, but also to gather with my righteous henchmen and brothers, I also need to find a home for them, and even involve the people of the world... The reason why the Jurchen tribes were able to occupy half of the Central Plains was, in the final analysis, because of the calamity of Xiao Wall, and it was Zhao Ji's own iniquity, which caused countless Song people to be in dire straits......

Xiao Tang thought in his heart, he had already entered the palace gate of the inner city of Bianjing with the eunuch of the inner province, and after learning that Zhao Ji was still playing in Yanfu Palace as usual, Xiao Tang walked straight to Yanfu Palace along the path in the Imperial City Palace.

It's just that Xiao Tang had just entered the Lize Gate on the west side of Yanfu Palace, and when the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province was about to turn a corner, he suddenly found that a cloud of incense was rushing towards his arms. Xiao Tang had already smelled the faint fragrance on the woman's body, he frowned slightly, and immediately jumped out of a vertical step backwards, avoiding the frizzy girl in front of him and colliding with him.

"Oops! Why are you again? ”

"Roufu, how many times have I told you, my daughter's family must be more stable, what kind of system is it to run crazy in the palace?"

Xiao Tang first heard someone shouting coquettishly, and then heard the sound of the warbler and the sound of Yanyu complaining, and then he knew that he had bumped into Emperor Maode and Emperor Roufu in the palace again, so he immediately took two steps back, and bowed forward and said, "Minister Xiao Tang, I have seen two emperors." ”

There was another exclamation, Xiao Tang's lowered eyes saw that there was a pale yellow palace skirt next to the bright pink robe in front of him, and a pair of delicate boots were faintly exposed, and the tips of the golden lotus boots took a few steps back slightly, and then the palace skirt was covered, and another glamorous voice came: "General Xiao, please calm down." ”

When Xiao Tang straightened up and looked forward, he saw that Emperor Maode, who had not been seen for a long time, seemed to have grown a lot taller, her hair was full of green silk like clouds, her picturesque pretty face was more upright, her expression and temperament were not only more reserved, but her slim appearance also had some mature charm.

Although there is a pair of beautiful people in front of him, Xiao Tang also knows that it is better to be unclear with the sisters under Zhao Ji's knees, and now he is in a depressed mood, so he just bowed his head and stood aside after seeing Emperor Maode and Emperor Roufu, and was silent.

Originally, Emperor Maode learned that Xiao Tang had returned safely from the side court, and after she was about to enter the palace today to meet her father, she was also happy for no reason. Now that they met by chance in Yanfu Palace, Emperor Maode, who was planning to find a conversation, saw Xiao Tang's face was silent, and he was stunned, and he forgot all the words he had thought about for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
