Not far from the Vertical Arch Palace, where the guards of the gate rested, Qiao Datou sat on the chair and bared his teeth, and kept calling out in his mouth. The imperial doctor www.biquge.info who gave him the medicine didn't know where he touched him, so he was careful.

Xu Ping listened to Qiao Datou screaming on the side, and said to him: "I beat you half to death just now, without saying a word, and now that you are on medicine, why does it hurt again?" ”

Qiao Datou said: "The marquis of the county doesn't know, at that time, it was all about the anger in my heart, as soon as I screamed, my anger was discharged, and I couldn't hold it anymore no matter what, so I couldn't shout when I was killed." Now, why should I hold my breath in my heart? Naturally, I want to scream happily, and when I scream in my mouth, I don't feel pain in my body. ”

Xu Ping shook his head, this is really a weirdo. is usually muddy, but he can really withstand it at critical moments, and he really didn't see it before.

Seeing that Qiao Datou's spirit was better, Xu Ping asked the imperial doctor: "Wait for the edict, is the injury on his body in the way?" ”

The doctor said: "It's okay, it looks amazing, but in fact, it's all skin trauma, it doesn't hurt the internal organs, and it will be good to take care of it for a few days." It's just that these days you have to recuperate, and you must not accidentally get hurt again. ”

Qiao Datou said: "How can this be good?" Aren't you going to have some idle meals in the county mansion? ”

Xu Ping and Li Zhang couldn't hold back anymore and laughed together.

An attendant came in from the outside with two small yellow doors, saw Xu Ping and Li Zhang, and sighed: "Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Yanei are really here, but let's find them!" ”

Li Zhang recognized it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The cabinet chief is looking for us, I don't know what is important?" ”

The chamberlain said: "The ministers of the official family and the Privy Council are discussing the military aircraft in the Chongzheng Palace, and they want Xu to go over with Xiao Yanei." There is also the expulsion army who reported the military situation, if he is in good health, he will go to the temple together. ”

Xu Ping listened and asked Qiao Datou: "Can you move around?" If you are fine, go into the palace together. ”

Qiao Datou looked at his body, a little embarrassed: "It's a little unsightly for me to dress like this, how can I enter the palace to see the king?" Don't let people say that I am sloppy, what kind of deception. ”

Xu Ping said: "It's okay, that's how you came to Beijing begging for food, what's so unsightly?" After taking the medicine, he got up and walked with us. After entering the palace, remember the rules and do not make mistakes. ”

Qiao Datou responded, and when the imperial doctor finished taking the medicine, he stood up, moved his hands and feet, and said happily: "The imperial doctor is really the holy hand of the world, as soon as this medicine is on, I actually feel that my body does not hurt!" ”

The imperial doctor was startled and hurriedly said, "Rest, rest!" You need to rest on this wound, don't be so reckless! ”

Qiao Datou laughed and bowed deeply to the imperial doctor: "Thank you for saving me!" ”

After speaking, he was going to enter the palace with Xu Ping and Li Zhang, and he didn't take the words of the imperial doctor seriously.

When he arrived at the front of the vertical arch hall, because Qiao Datou didn't know the etiquette, Zhao Zhen specially exempted himself from dancing and following that very embarrassing procedure, and let him enter the hall directly.

Entering the Chongzheng Palace, Xu Ping and Li Zhang saluted like a ceremony, Qiao Datou fluttered and knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again: "Xiaomin Qiao Datou, today thanks to the emperor's sage to see the face of the sky, it is really a convincing spirit that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!" ”

Zhao Zhen saw that Qiao Datou was naïve, everything was sincere, and there was no falsification in the slightest, so he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: "I heard that you have an injury, you don't have to make this big gift!" Come, give a seat! Give tea! ”

Xiao Huangmen moved the pestle, Qiao Datou stood up and rubbed his hands again and again: "In front of the Son of Heaven, where is there a place for Xiaomin to sit?" If this is spread, won't people accuse me of not knowing the times? I can't help it! I can't help it! ”

Zhang Shixun quietly glanced at Li Shi, and shook his head secretly in his heart. As an emperor, what I like most is this kind of people who revere themselves from the bottom of their hearts, and the ministers who usually follow the rules have seen a lot, and occasionally come to such a one, which can make the emperor happy for several days. Qiao Datou is a muddy person, but a fool has a foolish fortune.

Xu Ping looked at his nose and nose on the side, and his nose looked at his heart, and he was silent. He didn't feel the truth of any gentleman and minister more than the ordinary scholars of this era, but he wouldn't look down on Qiao Datou, an era has an era's style, Qiao Datou is an ordinary person in this era, and when he saw the emperor, he really thought that his ancestral tomb was smoking.

Zi said, my way is consistent, loyal and forgiving. Loyalty and forgiveness are the two sides of benevolence, and the absence of one is not enough to be a gentleman's way of treating others. The gentleman treats the ministers with courtesy, and the ministers are loyal, all of which are indispensable, which is the common idea of scholars in this era. However, in this era, there are some more scholars who value the avenue in their hearts more seriously.

Seeing Qiao Datou's sincerity, Zhao Zhen's unhappy mood just now was swept away, and he ordered Xiao Huangmen to sit down on Qiao Datou's stool, and said: "I have people like you who are dedicated to the country, and I am afraid of what kind of enemy of the state, you can sit!" Here today, you are a meritorious man of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Qiao sat on the stool, twisting left and right, cramped and uneasy.

Zhao Zhen was in a good mood and asked Qiao Datou: "I heard that your father is a forbidden army in Jiaozhi and lives in Yongzhou?" ”

Qiao stood up with a big head and crossed his hands: "Holy Son of Heaven, my Daddy and Daddy Chen are both forbidden soldiers, and when they fought against Jiaozhi from Yongzhou with Sun Tuanlian, they unfortunately suffered a defeat and stayed in Yongzhou. ”

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk! In this Chongzheng Palace, you don't need to be restrained! ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand again and again, and asked Qiao Datou to sit down on the stool.

After speaking, Zhao Zhen turned his head to Zhang Shixun and said: "This kind of character is the elite soldier of my Great Song Dynasty!" His father, and what Chen-"

Xu Ping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's Chen Honest." Once when Weichen was fighting with Jiaozhi, he and Qiao Datou worked together as a guide for the first army, and the first batch entered Thang Long Mansion. After the triumph, he unfortunately died. Qiao Datou was raised by Chen Laoshi since he was a child, so he voluntarily removed his military membership and returned to his hometown with Chen Laoshi's bones for burial, thus discovering the filthiness of the party envoys. ”

"Chen Laoshi, is Chen Laoshi. Zhang Xianggong, the Privy Council recorded the military exploits of these two people as a reward! ”

Zhang Shixun held the wat to lead the order. The reward for the military exploits of these two people naturally fell on Qiao Datou.

Looking at Qiao Datou, Zhao Zhen said again: "You are good, you are bent on national affairs and loyalty; With Chen Honest's bones, he traveled thousands of miles and returned to his hometown for burial, for filial piety. Very good! Very good! ”

Joe rubbed his hands together, not knowing what to say for a while. He is used to it, and others praise him twice, and he doesn't take it to heart, but the emperor is the same character as the sky, and when he says it from his mouth, it is naturally different!

After living for decades, I didn't expect that I was still such a character, and Qiao Datou suddenly found that he didn't know himself.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhen found that he was in no mood to ask Qiao Datou how he found out that the envoy of the party item was meticulous, and whether he had misjudged. How can such sincere people make up lies to deceive themselves? He said that he had found it, and that was naturally a discovery. The question now is, does the party envoy's drawing of the geography of the mountains and rivers of the dynasty mean rebellion?

After asking about Qiao Datou's injury in detail, Zhao Zhen asked Xiao Huangmen to take him down, go to the side hall and let the imperial doctor take a look, use the best medicine, and give him some pastries to fill his stomach by the way.

Qiao Datou went out, and Zhao Zhen said to Zhang Shixun: "Like such sincere people, there is no reason to tell lies!" Now it just depends on whether the party envoys doing these things show that Yuan Hao is anti-minded. ”

Li Shi praised the wat of "Your Majesty Shengming! Chen Tianliang had asked Qiao Datou in detail before, he was well organized, all the joints could match, and what he said was indeed well-founded. ”

"So, does the Privy Council think that the party is going to rebel?"

Liu Ping opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth. If you are suddenly promoted, you can't be too aggressive, otherwise it will be easy to offend people and make people jealous.

Zhang Shixun thought about it again and again, and said cautiously: "The party has done this kind of thing, and it should be held accountable for not abiding by the courtesy!" But if they are said to be against the other, it cannot be so arbitrary. Daizhou is still a legitimate Khitan after all, they know the geography of mountains and rivers, and it may be just out of precaution, is it possible that they really want to attack Daizhou, and at the same time be the enemy of this dynasty and Khitan? ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "It also makes sense." ”

Xu Ping didn't speak, in his memory, when Zhao Yuanhao was against the Song Dynasty, it seemed that he had really fought against the Song and the Khitan at the same time, and he was lucky to win. However, he has a general history, and he can't remember it truthfully, so it's hard to make a conclusion.

Seeing that the Privy Council still stubbornly believed that the party would not be opposed, Liu Ping couldn't hold back any longer, and said with his hands crossed: "Your Majesty, according to the minister, drawing a geographical map of mountains and rivers is not for the purpose of marching, but for what?" Could it be that the party members are afraid that they will go to Wutai Mountain to incense in the future and can't remember the road? If that person just said it conclusively, the party must have turned against it! ”

Zhang Shixun's mouth was a little bitter: "If you are against you, you may not be against it." ”

It's not a nice thing to say, but it's true. Zhao Yuanhao was originally equivalent to the emperor in the party, how could he be willing to live under others if he was a little ambitious? But it's one thing to think about it, it's another thing to think about it.

Zhao Zhen saw Xu Ping standing on the side, his expression was motionless, and he didn't say a word. My heart moved, and I remembered that this was the person who really led the army to destroy a country, how could I forget him?

said to Xu Ping: "Xu Ping, in your opinion, will the party be reversed?" ”

Xu Ping said respectfully: "The minister is in the third division, I don't know the military situation, so it's not good to talk nonsense." ”

"As Qiao Datou said today, haven't you been by your side all the time? Will the party be opposed to this matter? ”

Xu Ping sighed: "Your Majesty, when the party envoy draws a map, he must be against the will. In fact, Zhang Xianggong said well, if he is against him, he will not necessarily be opposed. The key lies in what the Privy Council has done and what it is going to do, so that even if Zhao Yuanhao is against him, he will not dare to rebel. With all due respect, if it is like now, conniving at the party in everything and doing nothing, Zhao Yuanhao will not oppose it today, and he will oppose it in a few days! (To be continued.) )
