Spring is coming, everything is recovering, spring is full of wilderness, warm rhythm is eye-catching, thousands of flowers compete for the pink wall and fine willows, oblique cages Qimo, people in Beijing City have gone out to go out, looking for the joy brought by spring.

"Immortals, wherever there are immortals in the world, pretending to be gods and ghosts, and blinding the saints, they should be killed." Zhao Xin stood outside the door and listened to the roar of the prince in the study, and the people in the courtyard were sent away by him, so as not to have ears on the wall. After scolding Cai Jing, scolding Liang Shicheng, followed by Wang Shea, Yang Jian, and Zhu Bifan, none of the emperor's favorite courtiers and close servants missed the net.

"What's wrong with the prince?" For a long time, the prince may have been tired of scolding, and the roaring stopped, but the silence of the prince next made Zhao Xin even more worried, he looked through the crack in the window and wanted to study, the prince sat in front of him wrapped in a blanket like a statue, his face was angry, helpless, and decadent, as if he was an old man's lifeless.

"Is it because of the departure of Miss Zhe and Miss Zhu, the prince feels uncomfortable?" Zhao Xin sighed and guessed, the two girls resigned to the prince a few days ago, one to the south, the other to the north, each going east and west, the day of meeting was indefinite, and the prince was bitter about it, "Shouldn't it?" ”。 If the prince likes them, as long as he asks the mother for a decree, he can leave them, and now everyone who has a little money at home will find a concubine, and it is very common for a prince to raise ten or eight concubines.

"If it's not for them, is it for the money?". Zhao Xin also guessed that a few days ago, several stewards of Xiangyi took turns to come to the house, report the business situation, accept the new instructions of the prince, look at their appearance, listen to their tone, the workshop over there is running normally, not like what happened, when they left, the prince also gave them a large stack of papers, telling them to establish a new workshop as soon as possible, which shows that the economic situation is good. But even if he lost money last year, the family business that the prince has saved over the years is to live a life of spending days and drinking, and he can eat for ten lifetimes without worrying about money.

"Oh, it must be for Wang Laozhi's bull's nose, if it weren't for the matter of Xiumingtang, or for the matter of Jin Mingchi's review of the forbidden army." Zhao Xin was thinking nonsense outside the door, thinking about what had happened recently, but he couldn't get the point, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he was so stupid, he couldn't relieve the prince's worries, his nose was sour, tears flowed down, and he sobbed.

"What's wrong with Zhao Xin, has someone bullied you?" At some point, the prince appeared beside him, put his hands on his shoulders and asked softly.

"Nope". Zhao Xin shook his head vigorously, but the tears flowed even more happily.

"Then why are you crying?".

"Subordinates should be damned, they can't share their worries for the prince, they can only watch the prince worry!" Zhao Xin suddenly knelt down and said.

"Huh!". Zhao Tan smiled in surprise, "I don't want you, I'm just bored for a while, just vent it, so as not to hold back my illness, come into the house with me to drink tea!" ”。

Zhao Xin followed the prince into a quiet room next to the study, this was the forbidden place of the prince, and it was the first time he had come in. The wooden floor is covered with a thick carpet, the rosewood window is not glued window paper, but inlaid with a large piece of glass from Zhuangzi, which looks very bright, outside the window is a bush of plantain trees that have just revealed their new stamen, two green turtles in the glass jar on the windowsill sink to the bottom of the water, their long hair fluttering, almost covering the entire water surface, and a few green bamboos are planted in the flower pots by the wall. On the wall, there is the emperor's "Plum Twin Birds" and the queen's handwritten strips, and on one wall is the prince directly written on it: "Stepping on Helan, recovering my clouds, dragons flying and phoenixes dancing." ,

In the middle of the room is a large low table with the four treasures of the study room and a unique candlestick, and under the paperweight is a complete map of the Western Regions. There is a small red clay stove at one end of the low table, on which is a purple sand teapot and a set of celadon tea sets, a round pillow and a blanket are placed on the carpet on the side, and a few books are scattered around. But a short-barreled loose bullet gun placed on the side broke the elegance of the place, and it looked nondescript.

"Zhao Xin, don't be stunned and help boil water!". Zhao Xin took off his shoes and entered the house, closed the door and thought that the huge courtyard was empty, and he was alone in the quiet room with the prince, which seemed a little cramped, and when he heard the shout of the prince, he hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly took out a few pieces of silver charcoal from the charcoal bucket and lit them into the furnace, filling the pot with water and sitting on the stove.

"Today, we will drink the best "Little Dragon Group" in this palace, you taste the good or bad, I can't drink it, and it will be a bit violent in my mouth! ”。 Zhao Ta lit a pillar of ambergris and inserted it in the incense burner, sat down cross-legged and took out tea leaves from a few clicks.

"The second master laughed, how can I taste good or bad!". Zhao Xin skillfully shabu-shabu, wash the tea, put the tea in the cup, and wait for the water to boil.

"This elegant thing is in our house, except for my old master, it is your two masters, and the others are just cats and tigers, vassals are elegant, and they are indiscriminate!" Zhao Tan chuckled.

"Second master, how do you know that I have a master?" Zhao Xin was taken aback, the matter of his apprenticeship was extremely secret, and he hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, can you still hide the things in the house from me, and without my nod, can Sister Xiao teach you? Zhao said with a grimace.

"In fact, we have the reality of master and apprentice, but we don't have the name of master and apprentice, they have always asked me to call me sister and brother-in-law, but they don't mean to deceive the second master!" Zhao Xin lowered his head and said as if he was afraid that the prince would see through his thoughts.

"There is no harm in learning more skills, that is, you don't want to be taught bad by the two of them, but they are now hiding on the side and refusing to come to Beijing to help, even the guy who is highly favored also thinks that Jingzhong is boring, and runs back to train Zhuang Ding, which makes me angry!". Zhao said.

"Second master, Sister Xiao also warned me not to let you take it badly, she said that you have too many eyes, and if you are not careful, you will suffer, let me beware of you!" Zhao Xin said with a smile.

"Alas, I really miss the days of Xiangyi, which is much more comfortable than in this Beijing!". Zhao Ta said with a sigh.

"Second master, are you unhappy about this? Why don't you ask the emperor to go back! ”。 The water boiled, and Zhao Xin rushed to the tea ceremony.

"Hehe, where is it so easy, now I don't know how many people are staring at Lu Dao when I go out of the city!". Zhao Ta said with a wry smile.

"Then second master, why were you so angry just now, your sad appearance is really distressing!". Zhao Xin looked at the prince and said.

"Alas, I am worried about the country.". A sad look appeared on Zhao Ta's face, and he took a sip of tea.

"Oh, Sister Xiao often tells me that if you tell another person a sad thing, it can be reduced by half, and you can also tell me about it, although I don't understand the major affairs of the country, but I can share this sorrow for the second master! Zhao Xin leaned over to the prince and whispered. May I? Zhao Ta asked with some amusement.

"Of course!" Zhao Xin nodded confidently.

"Wang Laozhi came back from the Baogu Palace, he is still a good person after all, he can't fight those people" Zhao Ta thought about it and said, after Wang Zixi's death, Wang Laozhi stayed in the Baogu Palace, but he failed to regain favor, and Cai Jing and others didn't want him to regain his position. He instructed Xu Zhichang, who was in charge of the Taoist Sect, to recommend an immortal Lin Lingsu like the emperor.

Although Lin Lingsu is a Taoist priest, he was born in Buddhism, because he was unbearable to be beaten and scolded by his master, he went to cultivate the Tao, "Legend has it that because of fighting with others, he tore off half of his face and became a yin and yang face, which can be said to be half an angel and half an evil demon."

This person is "Taoist, not high" but he opened his mouth well, and he could simply say that the dead were alive.

As soon as Lin Lingsu saw the emperor, he unashamedly declared that there were nine nights in the sky, and Shenhuo was the highest. King Huo Yuqing is the eldest son of God, in charge of the south, and is known as the Immortal Emperor, this is His Majesty. And Lin Lingsu claimed to be Xianqing, Cai Jing was Zuo Yuan Xianbo, Wang Shea, Tong Guan and others also had their own names, and they were all from the upper realm to assist Weizong in governing the world. At that time, it happened to meet Liu Guifei, who was deeply favored by the emperor, Lin Lingsu said that she was Jiuhua Yuzhen Concubine An, and the emperor was of course overjoyed after hearing it, and gave him the name Mr. Tongzhen Daling, rewarded him with a large amount of property, and changed his hometown Wenzhou to Ying Daojun. ,

At the instigation of Lin Lingsu and others, Zhao Ji, who had just woken up, was taken to the ditch again, "In February, he came to the Shangqing Baozhen Palace" and ordered Lin Lingsu to preach the "Tao Sutra". He sat on the side in the curtain enclosed by a cloth curtain to listen to the lecture, and ordered the scholars to also come to listen to the lecture, while Lin Lingsu was based on the high seat, and people bowed down to ask questions, but what he said was nonsense and nonsense, "gags, telling some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and even laughing up and down, not like he was preaching" but like performing stand-up comedy, and interacting with the audience" bluffed the emperor and trusted him more and more.

Lin Lingsu flattered the emperor and said that Zhao Ji was the eldest son of God, King Xiao Yuqing. The emperor was originally called the Son of Heaven, and he was doing the right thing for heaven, and when Zhao Ji heard about his origin, he regarded himself as such. He has already ordered the minister of the Daolu Academy to publicly call himself the eldest son of Haotian God, Emperor Daxiao, in order to promote Taoism, ask God to be the master. He was the Emperor of the Dao Monarch. So the ministers and the Daolu Academy canonized Zhao Ji as the Daojun Emperor of the Sect, and prepared to be enshrined in April and become the head of the Daoist Sect.

Cai Jing saw that the emperor was fascinated at this time, and also asked for the construction of the Ming Hall, since the three dynasties of the Han and Tang Dynasties, all dynasties have built the Ming Hall, where the announcement of politics and religion, court decrees, sacrifices, electors, princes worship and other state ceremonies, are held in it. Although the Great Song Dynasty has been established for nearly 160 years, there is no official Ming Hall, and it has been replaced by the Daqing Palace. Renzong and Shenzong wanted to build Mingtang, but they gave up because of the huge cost and fear of affecting agricultural affairs. The emperor wants to restore the three-generation ritual system, follow the way of Yao Shun, and build the Ming Hall has become a major event that cannot be delayed.

After repeated demonstrations and investigations, Zhao Ji resolutely made an edict and decided to build. In line with the principle of "the past is used for the present, and the right to quote is in the union", the emperor personally drew the Mingtang schema. The upper part of this building is round, the law is like the sky, the lower part is square, the law is like the earth: four doors are opened on all sides, in line with the four orders of spring and autumn: there are eight windows to respond to the eight sections: there are five rooms inside, indicating that there are five lines of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, there are twelve halls, and the table is twelve months. All in all, the format of the system is completely in line with the way of heaven and the system of three generations.

Since the Mingtang is related to the fate of the dynasty, and the emperor attaches great importance to it, the officials in charge of the construction naturally have a high standard: Mingtang envoy: Lu Guogong Taishi Cai Jing: engineering envoy: Xuanhe Palace scholar Cai You: Counselor: Xianmo Pavilion to be made Cai Chu, Cai Feng, palace supervisor Song Yi: capital supervisor: Xingde Army left Liang Shicheng. A group of people quickly divided the big cake, one by one they ate with their mouths full of oil, their stomachs full of fat, and used all the money and food they had accumulated on the landmark buildings of the national family.

At the beginning of the political peace, when Cai Jing was recalled to Beijing, the emperor instructed his son Cai You to bring him a little souvenir. So when Cai Jing entered Beijing, he offered a batch of flowers and trees. Among them is an olive tree, which is very rare. As soon as this wind opened, the upper and lower effects, the ministers competed to please the Weizong and offered all kinds of rare things. At this time, the wind is getting more and more intense, showing that the flowers and stones are not only in the south of the Yangtze River, nor is it the Zhu Bi family, these tributes, the track is dozens of boats, crossing the river and crossing the sea, and even tearing down the bridge all the way, digging the city wall, in order to transport it to Beijing. Those rare fruits and seafood are transported as fast as possible by fast horses like urgent official documents, so that the color and fragrance remain unchanged after being sent to Beijing, compared to Yang Guifei's lychee skills, it is just a piece of cake!

"Second master, then you won't persuade the emperor?" Zhao Xin listened to the prince talk about the affairs of the court, and interjected.

"The son doesn't say anything about the father, I'm going to say it, I'm afraid that without the emperor, those Confucians in the court will have to drown me with saliva!" Zhao Ta listened to Zhao Ta's innocent question, shook his head with a wry smile.

Confucian culture seems to be customized for the Chinese country, which is the most suitable for the national conditions, "Confucianism has become the inevitable choice of the ancient dynasties to rule the hierarchy." The rigid side of Confucian culture disappeared, the original military culture disappeared, and the combination of rigidity and softness became feminine and feminine, as Wang Anshi ridiculed, "follow the rules." "It's a fluke." Do not seek to cheer up, but to barely maintain, get by, lack of administrative efficiency.

Under the condition of the rule of the people, the administration of Taiwan has become the "rule of saliva." "Every literati and writer tried to figure out how to make too much talk and attract the favor of the emperor, but did not express himself in actual combat. Most of the military and political officers have no way to govern the army and save the country, but they collude with each other, play tricks and tricks, and have enough ingenuity. When the development reaches its peak, it is that regardless of the survival of the country and the family, whether the surname is alive or dead, he cannot govern the army and save the country himself, and he must also destroy others to govern the army and save the country, and not cheapen others to succeed.

The Song Dynasty's political arena was "fighting in the nest" and "forming a party for personal gain." "Compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is even better. Zhao Tan didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he stood up and accused the emperor of misleading the country, and perhaps the best result would be to be abandoned by the world and truly become a loner.
