In this world, it is really strange for people to get along with each other, and it is even stranger to love each other.

Some people can fall in love when they see each other, but some people never get it.

Gongsun Ce and Bai Lan's affairs Hua Lang can't help, in terms of affairs, he has never liked to use force.

The next day, after everyone had made some preparations, they headed for the capital.

Duanzhou City is far away from Beijing, and this walk is half a month.

When they set off from Duanzhou, Duanzhou was already hit by a warm wind, but when they came to the capital, the spring cold was still a little steep, and the difference between the north and the south was this.

When he entered the capital, Wen Yanbo was already waiting at the city gate, and when he saw Bao Zheng and Hualang and others, he felt very cordial, as if he had returned to the situation when they went to Dali.

Everyone laughed and entered the capital, first put the luggage in Wen Yanbo's mansion, and then Wen Yanbo took Hua Lang and Bao Zheng into the palace to face the saint, Wen Yanbo asked Hua Lang to follow him into the palace, which made Hua Lang very surprised, Bao Zheng went to supervise the imperial history, and it was reasonable to enter the palace to face the saint, but what did he do?

But Wen Yanbo insisted that Hua Lang follow, but Hua Lang had no choice but to follow.

The palace is very majestic, but some places have been mottled, and Hua Lang asked in a whisper, why these places are already slightly dilapidated, why not repair them?

Wen Yanbo smiled lightly and said: "The emperor is benevolent, diligent and thrifty, and he doesn't want to work for the people and lose money!" ”

After listening to Wen Yanbo's words, Hua Lang had a trace of expectation for this Song Renzong, who had a high evaluation in history, and he wanted to see what kind of person this emperor in the most glorious period of the Great Song Dynasty was, and whether he was as said in history, a benevolent and loving monarch of the ages.

It was noon when Hua Lang and the others entered the palace, and after Wen Yanbo reported to the eunuch outside the main hall, the eunuch hurriedly came over and said, "The emperor is having lunch, can Lord Wen and the playboy wait for the emperor to finish eating before going in?" ”

The eunuch's tone was like a discussion, which made Hua Lang very curious, and just when he was curious, the eunuch hurriedly explained: "The emperor has been dealing with the twists and turns since this morning, and he only ate a little breakfast, slave, I am afraid that the emperor will meet you and have no time to eat lunch, please be considerate of the emperor." ”

The eunuch's remarks were really unusual for Hua Lang, but for Wen Yanbo, he seemed to have become accustomed to it, and said, "It's okay, please take us in, let's not disturb the emperor for dinner." ”

The eunuch was a little helpless, and he had to nod his head in the end.

Because this is not a formal audience, so the eunuch directly led Wen Yanbo and them into the emperor's imperial study to deal with the chapter, when they entered, Song Renzong was eating, there were two steamed buns, a plate of side dishes, and a bowl of clear soup on the exquisite table, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng and others saw this scene, their eyes couldn't help but moisten, such a meal is just the standard of ordinary people, but the dignified son of heaven of a country actually eats these.

Song Renzong saw Wen Yanbo and a few of them coming, put down his chopsticks and said, "A few Aiqing can sit down, now this is not a big hall, you don't have to be formal." ”

After the eunuch moved the chairs, Bao Zheng and the others hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down.

But after Bao Zheng sat down, he suddenly stood up from the chair again, knelt down with a plop, and said: "The emperor is diligent and thrifty and compassionate, and he is an example for me to be an official, but the emperor only eats these things, which will inevitably damage the dragon body, Bao Zheng asks the emperor to take care of his body more!" Bao Zheng bowed down after speaking, bowing his head.

Bao Zheng suddenly did this, it was a sentimental act, if it weren't for Hua Lang's jealousy of the emperor's identity, I'm afraid he would have stood up and said to him, the body is the capital of people, and the most important thing to eat is nutrition, how can you supplement nutrition with what you eat!

Renzong saw Bao Zheng like this, but he was not angry, and only smiled slightly: "Bao Qing's family get up, I don't know what you said, but now although my Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, but the border is in great trouble, and I am in great need of military salaries, since I proposed that court officials should be diligent and thrifty, then I naturally have to set an example, since I am an example, I should know that I am cautious and independent, and I can't just act like a show when someone is there, and eat and drink when no one is there, Bao Qing's family get up, I will pay attention to what you said." ”

His words are peaceful, and his words and deeds are very gentlemanly.

Bao Zheng had no choice but to get up, and at this time, Song Renzong glanced at Hua Lang and said, "Presumably this is Hua Lang who helped Bao Qing's family solve strange cases, right?" ”

Hua Lang hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Under Hua Lang, please say hello to the emperor!" Hua Lang didn't know if his etiquette was correct, but Song Renzong didn't say anything, only waved him to sit down.

After Hua Lang sat down, Song Renzong nodded and said, "If you are really young and promising, not bad, in the future, the safety of the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be handed over to you young people." ”

Song Renzong was only twenty or thirty years old at this time, but the way he spoke was extremely old-fashioned, and Hua Lang didn't know if it was because he ascended the throne as a young man and experienced too many tribulations.

But in general, Hua Lang's impression of Song Renzong is very good, in his concept, the emperor must either be like Tang Taizong Li Shimin to expand the territory and make contributions, or like Song Renzong to be diligent and love the people.

After saying some common words, Song Renzong mentioned Bao Zheng as an official.

"The Bao Qing family is iron-faced and selfless, I already know these things, and I also value you by letting you serve as the superintendent of the imperial history, I hope that the Bao Qing family will not let me down!"

After Bao Zheng listened to Song Renzong's words, he knelt down again to make a statement, his face was dark, and what he said was righteous and righteous, so it gave people an extremely shocking feeling.

After Song Renzong encouraged Bao Zheng a few words, he let them go down.

Out of the palace, Wen Yanbo said: "Your mansion has already been prepared, but you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you live in my mansion for a few days first, and then move there?" ”

This is naturally a good thing for old friends, but after listening to Wen Yanbo's words, Bao Zheng looked embarrassed and said: "Now that I am supervising the imperial history, I have the power to impeach hundreds of officials, and I am very jealous. ”

After Bao Zheng said this, Wen Yanbo nodded again and again, and said: "What Brother Bao said is very reasonable, but since you don't live in my house, after you return to the house, accompany me to have a few drinks, and let me give you a clean sweep." ”

Bao Zheng thought of what Song Renzong ate, and felt a little embarrassed by Wen Yanbo's proposal, but he was not a rigid person, and he had to nod and agree at the end.
