Chapter 663: Heavenly Fire Burning Jade

Back in Bianliang, Zhao Yougong naturally came to attend Chai Keyan's wedding, but in fact, he really didn't want Chai Keyan to marry Zhao Huan, but this woman was too stubborn, that is, she would rather marry Zhao Huan who she didn't like, and also maintain the safety of the Chai family. Sometimes Zhao Yougong really wants to ask, isn't it good to make a step?

Walking on Bianhe Street, people came and went on the road, Chai Keyan lowered his head, and dragged a horsewhip on the ground in his hand, the hateful Zhao Yougong, why do you have to work hard, is it in his heart, hegemony is more important than feelings? Chai Keyan thinks that he is no worse than Zhu Lian, but why is Zhao Yougong so doting on Zhu Lian, and so cold to her. Men, are they really bent on hegemony, can't they fit anything else in their hearts? Zhao Yougong, Zhao Yougong, you will definitely regret it, if you make a step today, maybe everyone is fine, but unfortunately, you just don't take a step back, so it depends on who has the last laugh.

There was a round and a half moon in the sky, the river was faint, Chai Keyan dragged a long shadow, looking lonely and cold, this future crown princess, who knows the bitterness in her heart? Some women cry when they are sad, and some women become stronger when they are sad, and Chai Keyan belongs to the latter. What about marrying Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan is a coward, as long as she uses a little means, I'm afraid that she won't be able to control it?

Recently, the most worn in Bianliang City is the marriage of the crown prince Zhao Huan, but another thing is also talked about, that is, the marriage of Emperor Maode, and today the official family has chosen a lover for Emperor Ji, this is Xu Yifeng, the new champion. I heard that Xu Yifeng is only eight years old, rich in five cars, and only twenty-four years old, he won the first place in the palace examination, and the most important thing is that this champion has not yet decided on a marriage. The champion is a talent, literary and elegant, and soon pleases the official family, so the marriage is smooth, the emperor Zhao Fujin didn't say anything about this, maybe she herself is also very satisfied with this champion princess.

In August of the sixth year of Xuanhe, it was a long waiting process for Zhao Yougong, and he looked forward to Chai Keyan being able to bow his head, as long as the Chai family returned to the Qin Palace, it would be easy to say. Zhao Yougong didn't want to be Zhao Ji, he would never allow the Chai family to remain neutral, or rather, Zhao Yougong was a little afraid of the Chai family. The Great Zhou Chai clan seems to have been silent for a hundred years, but no one can tell how big the hidden power is. In some ways, for the Great Song Dynasty, the Chai family has always been a potential threat, whether it is Zhao Yougong or Zhao Ji, they are deeply wary of the Chai family, maybe Zhao Ji can still tolerate the Chai family to survive in obscurity, but Zhao Yougong will not, the Chai family is uncontrollable, either accept or erase, the so-called glory and wealth of the Chai family, that is the fame and reputation, the benevolence of women.

If you want the Chai clan to return to obedience, why don't you go to Chai Se, the king of Heng? Zhao Yougong also wanted to go to King Heng, but this idle king had long ignored the affairs of the Chai family, although he was the most noble person in the Chai family, but the real power of charge was placed on Chai Keyan. For several days, he couldn't wait for Chai Keyan's reply, Zhao Yougong came to Yixing Building leisurely. According to the ancestral system, the Great Song Dynasty opened the branch once every three years, and just passed the palace examination in July this year. According to the rules, the test will be held last year, and the palace test should be held in the spring of this year, but in the spring, the Great Song Dynasty is playing with the north, so the palace test has been postponed. Now that the palace examination has just ended, and the wedding of the crown prince Zhao Huan is imminent, some students simply do not return, and plan to wait until the prince gets married. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the people who could study and participate in the palace examination were children of rich families.

Yixing Building is a place where students live for the exam, the building is elegantly furnished and the space is also large, so some children of wealthy businessmen like to rest here. Today, Zhao Yougong led the wooden lady dressed as a man to Yixing Building, it is strange to say, since Tang Miao laid down the manpower, Sun Lao Wu seems to have disappeared, if it is not for the fact that Xiang Zhuyan has no possibility of lying, sometimes I really have to wonder if Sun Lao Wu is really in Bianliang City. Today, I came to Yixing Building, one is to check whether there is anything in the building, and the second is to visit Yixing Building by the way. I remember a few years ago, there was a four-kind pine in the backyard of Yixinglou, which was accidentally grafted by a wealthy businessman in the early Zhou Dynasty, and has a history of more than 100 years. Surrounded by two people, the four kinds of pine are still full of greenery in winter, and the most interesting thing at that time is to sit under the four kinds of pine, drink a glass of wine, that feeling relaxed and comfortable.

The shopkeeper of Yixinglou is surnamed He, and he is also an old man who has done things for more than ten years in Hengwangfu, so he still knows Zhao Yougong. Shopkeeper He is a little afraid of His Royal Highness Zhao, because often nothing good happens where His Royal Highness Zhao appears. And I heard the county lord say it before, but there is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and he wants to inform him as much as possible, so the shopkeeper He didn't dare to delay, and quickly found a guy to whisper a few words, and then put on a smiling face and bent down slightly to greet him, "The little one has seen Qin"

"Shhh, my son's surname is Qin, don't scream, shopkeeper He" His Royal Highness put his index finger to his mouth and smiled slightly, the shopkeeper He was also a clever person, knowing that His Highness was unwilling to reveal his identity, he smiled and made a gesture of please. In fact, Shopkeeper He also knows that as long as His Royal Highness comes to Yixing Building, he must pick four Panasonic to sit upright. I actually came straight to the backyard, and now in the season, the four things are loosened is dense, only to see the towering canopy of the tight, under the scorching sun, you can still feel a trace of coolness. Chai Keyan also often finds someone to prune the four pines, so the canopy of the four pines is far away, and if you look at it from a high place, it looks like a giant mushroom. Under the canopy, a round stone table, waving his hand, signaled the shopkeeper He to go down and send some wine and food, Zhao Yougong sat down leisurely, holding his chin and looking around the courtyard. Yixinglou is not the kind of single building, but is surrounded by small buildings on all sides, a bit like the courtyard of later generations, except that it is not a bungalow around it, but a building. The same three-story building, with a brown background, sitting in the courtyard, can be said to have a clear view of the surrounding scenery. Zhao Yougong wondered very much, what secrets were hidden in Yixing Building that allowed Sun Lao Wu to risk appearing?

There are some things that can't be asked to the shopkeeper He, who knows if the Hengwang Mansion is really related to Tingyu Pavilion? If the Hengwang Mansion really secretly supported the Listening Rain Pavilion, then the matter would be a big deal. As long as he lives in the Great Song Dynasty, he can never underestimate the power of the Great Zhou royal family, and if anyone dares to underestimate the Chai family, the Chai family may make him regret it for the rest of his life. Mu Niangzi naturally knew what His Royal Highness Zhao was pondering, she raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "See what's wrong?" ”

"Heh, what are you kidding, you and I are immortals? Wan'er, if you were Sun Lao Wu, where would you stop? Zhao Yougong's words were indeed a little inexplicable, Mu Niangzi blinked her beautiful eyes, smiled bitterly and shook her head, "This is not good, but what if it is me, I won't go upstairs anyway, there are many people there, and it is inconvenient to do anything." ”

"Hmm" Zhao Yougong nodded lightly, he also agreed with this, people came and went in Yixing Building, especially at this time, the students had not retreated, did Sun Lao Wu dare to run into the building to show his eyes? In any case, Sun Lao Wu has to be careful, if you want to say that it is a convenient place to do things in this Yixing Building, there is only this small courtyard after thinking about it. The courtyard is quiet, and few people usually come, but what is Sun Lao Wu going to do? If you don't know what Sun Lao Wu is looking for, it will be a little difficult to break the puzzle.

The shopkeeper He quickly led the guy back, the guy was holding a tray with a few dishes on the plate, and the shopkeeper He didn't show anything wrong, just flattered a few words, and then led the guy to retreat. Looking at the smiling face of the shopkeeper, Zhao Yougong was speechless for a while, hey, it is estimated that Chai Keyan will come soon. Take a sip of wine, fragrant and sweet, what the shopkeeper He sent was a strong wine, where is Mu Niangzi used to drinking, a small sip, she coughed with a bitter face, "Ahem, it's really hard to drink, this is what kind of wine did you let Sister Zhu get?" ”

"Hehe, this wine is suitable for men, don't drink it Wan'er" took the little hand of the wooden lady, scratched and touched it, which made the wooden lady coquettish for a while. was about to grind his ears and temples, but Zhao Yougong was stunned for a moment, because just now, a figure flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Liangsi? What is this wallhead grass doing when he has nothing to do with Yixing Building? Surprised in his heart, Zhao Yougong pulled Mu Niangzi and sneaked up to the small building in the east. The four directions of Yixing Building are very symmetrical, and the architectural pattern is exactly the same, with a wide corridor, a total of ten rooms on both sides, standing in the corner of the wall, you can clearly see that Zhao Liangsi went to the B room. Waiting for the door to close, Zhao Yougong and Mu Niangzi bent down to the window.

Judging by the sound, there should be two people in the room. Zhao Yougong's guess was not wrong, at this time Zhao Liangsi sat on the throne with his chest upright, in front of him, there was also a handsome young man, this boy was wearing a * robe, a white jade hanging on the jade belt around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, this person was none other than Xu Yifeng, a new champion from Yangzhou. It is also strange to say that Zhao Liangsi's official position is not high, and he does not have much power, but Xu Yifeng is respectful to Zhao Liangsi.

"Xu Gongzi, how is the relationship with the princess? The pavilion master has worked hard to train you to be this champion, you have to do your best, otherwise, if the pavilion master and his old man get angry, then no one will be able to save you! ”

Xu Yifeng's face was respectful, and he hurriedly arched his hand, "Mr. Zhao rest assured, Xu does not dare to forget the great kindness of the pavilion master, and he will definitely do his best to gain the trust of the emperor, but the emperor is lacking in thought because of Jin Shilong, and I hope that Mr. Zhao can say a few good words for Xu, and be considerate." ”

"Hehe, Gongzi Xu is worried, the pavilion is mainly inconsiderate of you, and Zhao doesn't need to come here to talk to you about this nonsense. By the way, there is news from the pavilion master's side, the people in the dark hall have been eyeing here, you should not come here in the future, as for where to meet, Sun Lao Wu will tell you when the time comes! Zhao Liangsi's tone was cold, and his momentum at this time was not at all like the soft egg that was blown on both sides.

Zhao Liangsi and Xu Yifeng are plotting something in the room, but His Royal Highness Zhao is a chill in his heart, it is really terrible, Zhao Liangsi and Xu Yifeng are actually people who listen to the Yu Pavilion, Xu Yifeng is okay to say, Zhao Liangsi seems to be dispensable, but it plays a vital role in the Dajin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Liangsi, Xu Yifeng, how many unknown forces does Yuge still have in the court? As for why Yuge has been thinking about the fourth sister, Zhao Yougong can also think of something, and controlling the fourth sister is equivalent to holding a sharp knife in his hand. At least, if you listen to Yuge's control of the fourth sister, he Zhao will always throw a rat bogey.

Sometimes Zhao Yougong feels that he is very unlucky, he killed Jin Shilong before, and now he kills Xu Yifeng? Originally, the fourth sister had already misunderstood him, and if she killed Xu Yifeng again, what would the fourth sister think? After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yougong still decided not to alarm the two people in the room first, on the one hand, he had the intention of casting a long line to catch big fish, and on the other hand, he also wanted to quietly do Xu Yifeng, so as not to let the fourth sister know and blame him.

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw a woman in purple bending down under the tree and muttering, "Where did you run this bastard?" ”

Bastard? Zhao Yougong's face was a little dark, when would Chai Keyan say that this girl would also swear behind her back, "Hmph, who is a certain bastard looking for?" Oh, this fairy in purple, you were the one who just spoke? ”

Hearing Zhao Yougong's voice coming from behind him, Chai Keyan was slightly stunned, quickly turned around, and saw His Royal Highness Zhao's face with a smiling face, Chai Keyan panicked. What a scoundrel, how does this make people answer? If you admit it, doesn't that mean you're a queen bastard? Don't admit it, it's a little weaker, somehow, Chai Keyan feels that no one can lose to Zhao Yougong if he loses, "Hehe, this county lord is similar to His Royal Highness, what do you say?" ”

"Huh?" What a smart Chai Keyan, such an answer is simple and easy to understand, anyway, if Your Royal Highness Zhao admits that you are a bastard, the Lord of Cheshire can also be, if His Royal Highness Zhao is not, of course the Lord of Cheshire is not. Chai Keyan's cold face flashed a smug smile, and she felt that she had finally disgusted Zhao Yougong.

It's a pity that Chai Keyan was too happy, she completely ignored how big His Royal Highness Zhao's heart was, only to see His Royal Highness Zhao wave his hand at Mu Niangzi, and after signaling Mu Niangzi not to speak, she smiled leisurely, "Ah? The bastard is also good, this king also wants to live for a thousand years, thank you for the auspicious words of the county lord today! ”

Chai Keyan was stunned, his delicate little face was distorted, and he almost fainted. Shameless, how can there be such a shameless person as Zhao Yougong in the world? Fortunately, Chai Keyan is not an ordinary person, she breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the table and grabbed the wine glass and poured it, then coughed violently, and in a blink of an eye, her little face became red and red, "It's burning knife spirits, Zhao Ling, why did you drink this kind of spirits, it's really harmful."

Chai Keyan really didn't know what kind of wine was in the pot, and if she knew that it was burning knife spirits, she would never drink it. Looking at Chai Keyan's appearance, the wooden lady covered her mouth and giggled, making Chai Keyan look beautiful. Zhao Yougong didn't want to keep arguing with Chai Keyan, he sat opposite and said with a smile, "County Lord, why are you here?" ”

"What do you say? Someone came to the main building of this county, and the lord of this county can't come to see it yet? The lord of this county is afraid that someone will abuse the lynching and occupy this Yixing Building. Say, what are you doing here in your busy schedule? Don't tell the county lord, you are here to drink and see the scenery, there are many good places to go in Bianliang City, but your Royal Highness Zhao should not come to Yixing Tower. ”

"The county lord is really smart, so, the king will not hide it, he just wants to ask the county lord a few words. I got a secret report before, and there were people who listened to the rain pavilion in and out of Yixing Building, so I came to check, what about the county lord, if you know anything, you might as well say it, so as not to be poisoned by the rain pavilion in the end! Presumably, the county lord also knows that the people who listen to the rain pavilion are ruthless, especially when dealing with beautiful women, and some of them have the means."

His Royal Highness Zhao smiled thief, and looked Chai Keyan up and down. I saw Chai Keyan's brows shrink slightly, and then stretched, just this one reaction, Zhao Yougong was sure that Chai Keyan must know something, otherwise she would not have this expression.

Chai Keyan also knows the consequences of being involved with Tingyu Pavilion, this Tingyu Pavilion suddenly appeared a few years ago, and he has already become a big problem for the imperial court by doing several major things in a row, it can be said that whether it is Zhao Ji or Zhao Yougong, they will kill Tingyu Pavilion. After thinking about it carefully, Chai Keyan said lightly, "Zhao Ling, don't you pride yourself on being smart, haven't you heard of the legend of 'Heavenly Fire Burning Jade'?" ”

Hearing Chai Keyan's rhetorical question, Zhao Yougong couldn't help frowning. The Heavenly Fire Burning Jade is very unfamiliar to Mu Niangzi, but Zhao Yougong is somewhat familiar, speaking of the Heavenly Fire Burning Jade, I have to mention He's Bi. "Ordered by the sky, longevity and eternal prosperity", these eight words can be said to be something that any generation of emperors must pursue. The heirloom jade seal from the Heshi Bi is not only a piece of beautiful jade, but also a symbol of power. In ancient times, the power was divinely granted, and the jade seal of the country was a token of divine power, and if there was no jade seal of the country, it was not right, and who had the jade seal of the country could be supported by the people of the world.

The jade seal of the country passed through the three kingdoms of the Qin and Han dynasties, and then to the end of the Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, the jade seal of the country has always been the thing pursued by the emperor, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin because there was no jade seal of the country, he could only engrave the jade seal of "Ordered Treasure" and other jade seals to talk about self-esteem, but the ordered treasure is the appointed treasure, not the real jade seal of the country, until the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jingxi conquered the Turks, and brought the jade seal back to Chang'an. Since then, the jade seal of the country belongs to the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, until Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty, more than two hundred years ago, the emperor Shi Jingjiao led his troops to break through Luoyang City, Li Congke and Concubine Zhou lit the imperial study, and the two were buried in the fire together, with rumors, when Concubine Zhou held the jade seal of the country, the emperor watched the jade seal burn in the fire. Concubine Zhou hugged the jade and burned herself in flames, this is the legend of "Heavenly Fire Burning Jade".

The heavenly fire burned the jade, and the jade seal of the country disappeared, Zhao Yougong has always had doubts about this legend, how could the jade seal of the country be burned, is it really the fire of the sky? As a descendant, of course Zhao Yougong doesn't believe in these legends of gods and gods, he prefers to believe that the jade seal of the country is missing. frowned tightly, and was greatly surprised in his heart, could it be that he heard Yuge staring at the Chai family because of the jade seal of the country? Zhao Yougong didn't have much desire for the jade seal of the country, he felt that thing was a dead thing, it was very important to say that it was important, it was not important to say that it was not important, it was powerful, and the jade seal of the country was a powerful weapon, which could make you stand on the commanding heights of morality and make it easier to win people's hearts, but if you didn't have the strength, holding the jade seal of the country would only be a dead end.

Suddenly, Zhao Yougong laughed, he looked at Chai Keyan, and slowly figured out one thing, no wonder the Great Song Dynasty royal family has always been so wary of the Chai family, it is clear that they can destroy the clan, but they hold the Chai family, and dare to love is not only because of the flaunting of benevolence and righteousness, but also because the Chai family has a relationship with the jade seal of the country. Tapping his fingers on the stone face, he asked softly, "County Lord, do you know the whereabouts of the jade seal of the heirloom country?" ”

"Of course I know" Chai Keyan raised his eyebrows, unspeakably complacent, Zhao Yougong was slightly stunned, is this woman too happy to admit it? Isn't she afraid that this matter will bring ruin to the Chai family? Chai Keyan had a cold face, it didn't seem to be a fraud at all, but the more this happened, the more worried Zhao Yougong became, because Chai Keyan didn't look like a fool no matter how he looked at it.

"Aren't you afraid that this king will find out about robbing? Hmph, it's okay, it's very boring to deceive people, it's better not to spread this lie! Zhao Yougong was actually testing Chai Keyan, but Chai Keyan didn't understand, just showed a little sneer.

Hell, does the Chai family really know the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country? Zhao Yougong frowned, Chai Keyan raised his tender little hand, and said lightly, the voice was like a mosquito humming, "What's the matter with telling you?" If your Royal Highness Zhao wants to rob it, who can stop it? Moreover, the lord of this county thinks that you don't seem to be able to rob such a dead thing, if you want to pass on the jade seal of the country, you only need to forge one. ”

Chai Keyan's eyes were so sharp that even Zhao Yougong had an uncomfortable feeling, and for a while he felt like he had been seen through. Yes, if he Zhao needs to pass on the jade seal, he only needs to forge a piece, is it important whether it is true or false? If it is true, it is true, if it is false, it is false, just like Li Shimin, a piece of ordained treasure can be said to be a jade seal of the country, who said no word at that time?

"Hmph, if you can, this king wants it too!"

Zhao Yougong didn't want to admit that he was seen through, that seemed too incompetent. Who would have thought that Chai Keyan was unmoved, got up and twisted his willow waist and walked out, when he walked to the courtyard gate, he stopped and said with a cold smile, "Zhao Ling, you can do what you want now, just ask for this county lord!" ”

"I'm sorry, this king doesn't need it, and, in a word, do you really know where the jade seal is?"

"You don't believe it, but Zhao Ling, you remember, one day the county lord will let you kneel down and beg me."

Chai Keyan finally left, she left a fierce word, and left so lightly. Zhao Yougong turned a deaf ear to Chai Keyan's threat, he was only very puzzled, did Chai Keyan have a jade seal of the country?

Sometimes the more true it is, the more suspicious it is, the more busy it is to deny it, but it is true, in short, Zhao Yougong can't figure out which words Chai Keyan is true and which words are false! R1152
