Seven days later, the emperor arrived in Mingzhou, and the officials of the two Zhejiang roads gathered here to welcome the holy car, but did not see the figure of Su Jin, asked about this, and the answer was that Lord Su claimed that he had resigned and was no longer suitable to stay in the occasion where the officials gathered, but Lord Su was recuperating in a private seaside villa by the harbor of Mingzhou, and if the emperor wanted to see himself, he cooked tea.

Although Zhao Zhen was angry, he still controlled his emotions in time, the purpose of this trip was not to ask Su Jinxing for his guilt, the more arrogant Su Jin was, the more sympathy points he won.

The next morning, Zhao Zhen and his entourage went to Su Jin's seaside villa to visit the sick and set foot on the bluestone embankment of the port, but they saw that under the blue sea and blue sky, and under the gathering of hundreds of sails, merchants of all colors and their own countries were busy with themselves.

Zhao Zhen sighed a little, the income of the city is beyond his imagination, these places that he couldn't think of at all, have been developed by Su Jin, and the disdainful small profits have also become a huge part of the country's financial revenue, I have to admit that Su Jin's cleverness.

In order not to disturb the order of the merchant ships in the port, Zhao Zhen deliberately changed into civilian clothes, accompanied by Huang Peisheng and more than a dozen highly skilled guards, walked slowly east along the wharf, walked three miles off the wharf, and a golden sand beach appeared at the end of a strange rocky coast, the weather in Mingzhou is not cold even in winter, not to mention the weather in early spring, looking at the smooth beach and lush green trees on the shore, Zhao Zhen not only sighed that Su Jin would enjoy it, but chose this place to build a house to live in.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be Lord Su's villa over there." Huang Peisheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the hillside along the coast, and several eaves flew out of the trees.

Everyone stepped on the soft sand and walked slowly, turned the bushes, and suddenly the eyes were open, a three-story small building stood there, looking delicate and low-key, a big courtyard was surrounded by a wooden fence in front, and dozens of people were standing tall and low in the yard, all of whom were Su Jin's wives and children's small servants and maids, and Zhao Zhen and his party appeared, and the dignified and beautiful purple-clothed woman led everyone to kneel and salute.

"Greetings!"

Zhao Zhen glanced left and right a few times, but still didn't see Su Jin's figure, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What about Su Aiqing?" I'm here in person, but he still doesn't want to see me? ”

Yan Biyun lowered his head and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the husband went to the beach to fish early in the morning, the husband left a message, if the emperor visits today, please go to the beach to fish together." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "This Su Jin, I don't know how to fish, but I still have to go fishing with him, where is he?" ”

Yan Biyun pointed to the vast place on the sea surface, and there was a small sandbar exposed from the sea in the fog in the distance, and there was a figure sitting on the edge of the sandbar holding a rod on the edge of the sandbank, and the old monk was motionless.

"What does this be? The emperor came to visit in person, and it was disrespectful for Lord Su to avoid it, and he wanted the emperor to go to the sea to accompany him to fish, what kind of system did it become? Su Jin is too arrogant. Huang Peisheng was furious, his sympathy for Zhao Zhen exceeded his respect for Su Jin, Su Jin was often arrogant and arrogant, which was simply intolerable.

Bao Zheng, who was traveling with him, also felt that it was inappropriate, the emperor had already given enough face, and traveled thousands of miles to Mingzhou to see Su Jin, which meant to repair and explain, but Su Jin still dragged his head, which was really a bit excessive.

"Mrs. Su, please ask Lord Su to come back, how can the emperor be able to take a boat and wade into danger, this is a bit of child's play." Bao Zheng said.

Yan Biyun said embarrassedly: "Master Bao, my husband has a stubborn temper, and I have persuaded him, but he said that he wants to talk to the emperor alone under the sea and the sky to say something that God knows, and he doesn't want others to hear it, and I can't help it; Don't worry about the emperor's safety, we have a small boat that will deliver the emperor safely to the sandbar. ”

Huang Peisheng said angrily: "What is this called? For the courtiers, the emperor is also assigned to do this and that, is there any difference between up and down? Your Majesty, the old slave suggested that we turn around immediately, what is there to see about this arrogant person. ”

Yan Biyun's face was calm, and everyone in the Su family was also very calm, and they didn't seem to be worried or frightened at all because of this incident, looking like they don't like to leave.

Zhao Zhen sighed, and said with a smile: "Huang Peisheng, don't talk like that, Su Jin is going to talk to me alone, that must be something to say, I am not an old man in my seventies and eighties, I have also been on a boat in the big lake in Bianliang Palace, but it is not difficult for me, you stay here, I will go to see him." ”

The guards were busy dissuading, Zhao Zhen straightened his chest and waved his hand, and walked to the reef by the sea, where a small boat was docked, and a boatman with an oars had already sat quietly and waited; Zhao Zhen clumsily got on the boat, and the boatman said, "The emperor is sitting firm." Immediately after the oars were on the shore, the boat slid silently into the sea.

The sea seems to be calm, but the waves are undercurrent, the boat flickering forward on the sea, Zhao Zhen quietly grabbed the side of the boat, and after a while, he felt annoyed as if there was a sign of seasickness, which is completely different from boating on the big lake in the palace.

Fortunately, the road is not far, after about a stick of incense, the sandbar is already in front of him, the boatman slid hard, the boat slid on the edge of the shallow sandbar, the boatman dropped a boat board on the shore, helped Zhao Zhen slowly walk across the board, stepped on the ground, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Su Jin sees the emperor." Su Jin's voice sounded in his ears, and Zhao Zhen turned his head to see Su Jin bowing down and standing behind him.

Zhao Zhen said: "You will choose a place, where you can't speak, why do you want to come here to speak?" I almost fell into the sea, sick and sick. ”

Su Jin smiled and said to the boatman: "You row away, pick us up an hour later, and tell the ladies to entertain the guests who accompany them, and not to be lazy." ”

The boatman turned back and boarded the boat, and in a few moments sailed away from the sandbank.

Su Jin looked back at Zhao Zhen, who had a cold face, and said, "Is the emperor's disgust better?" ”

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "It's not good, I want to vomit nauseously." ”

Su Jin smiled slightly and said: "Boating into the sea, such an elegant thing, but the emperor is disgusted, this is not the problem of the sea, but the emperor's problem." ”

Zhao Zhen sneered: "You don't want to play dumb riddles with me, I am disgusting for your behavior, you are not wise to be pretentious." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "The emperor seems to be very angry, dare to ask me if Su Jin has done something wrong?" ”

Zhao Zhen said: "You know what you do yourself, you say that you will pick a child, the court is not working, and now it is a mess, it is all caused by your secret instigation, and you asked what you did wrong?" ”

Zhao Zhen's anger seemed to erupt, since there was no one here, there was no need to be merciless when speaking, he pointed at Su Jin's nose with his hand and said: "Don't forget, the world is my world, I only need one sentence to destroy everything you have, do you understand?" ”

Su Jin laughed, and Zhao Zhen shouted: "What's so ridiculous? Isn't that right? ”

Su Jin's laughter stopped, looked at Zhao Zhen coldly and said: "Your Majesty, take your finger away, don't point it at my nose, I hate it when others point at my nose with their fingers; I know what you're going to say, don't you just want to say that my Su Jin's life and death are in your hands? If you say a word, I Su Jin can lose my head; You are the emperor, I am a courtier, there seems to be a saying that the king calls the minister to die, and the minister can't not die, you must think that this sentence is extremely correct, but in my opinion, this is all fart. ”

Zhao Zhen shouted: "You...... It's so presumptuous, it looks like you're going to rebel. ”

Su Jin laughed again: "Rebellion? I'm not going to do anything like that, I just ask you, what right do you have to make such a brazen accusation against me? Should I use my private property for more than ten years to pay for the Northwest Fourth Road of the Great Song Dynasty? Could it be that I, Su Jin, should work hard for you every day, but still have to endure your suspicion? These things may seem natural to you, but in my opinion, I am willing to do it not because of you, but for the sake of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, anyone can blame me, but you are not qualified. ”

"Why am I not eligible? I am the lord of the world, and everything under the world is mine. Zhao Zhen roared.

Su Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is your most crowning reason, so let's not get angry, since we are going to talk about things today, I will tell you a story." ”

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, I have come all the way, I just want to ask you a word, can you still be used by me?" If I can, I will forgive you for your outrageous words and deeds, and if you do things for me, I will not treat you badly; If not, you know the consequences, and I don't need to say more. ”

Su Jin sighed and said, "The emperor came all the way to threaten me, I am very disappointed; But I didn't expect anything from the emperor's arrival, I have decided to go into hiding, and I don't care about the affairs of the court from now on, are you satisfied with such an answer? ”

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Then I have nothing to say, you will regret it." ”

Su Jin shook his head and bent down to pick up the fishing rod on the ground, walked slowly to the beach, and said in his mouth: "Be a happy person from tomorrow, feed the horses and chop firewood, travel the world, care about food and vegetables from tomorrow, I have a house, facing the sea and spring flowers." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't know what the style of the word in Su Jin's mouth was, but he could hear Su Jin's determination to get rid of the fetters and involvement of the world, Zhao Zhen suddenly understood why he couldn't threaten the person in front of him, because this person had a sense of estrangement from the ministers, concubines, palace maids, and even all living beings in the world, he was one of them, but he didn't seem to be one of them.
