Chapter 231
Chapter 231 The storm continues
"Ding! Ding!" The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and a clear voice came from far and near. "Please wait! Let me come to this grand event too!"
Fan Zhongyan and others couldn't help but be surprised, especially Li Hong and Wang Zhi. They were both surprised who had the courage to come? It should be noted that before they came, they had already asked their friends and colleagues, but they were afraid of Lu Yijian's power. Although these friends and colleagues sympathized with Fan Zhongyan, they finally refused to come and see each other out of their way.
What about the guests coming out there now?
Fan Zhongyan, Li Hong, Wang Zhi and others turned their heads and saw a black-haired horse racing from the official road in Bianliang City. The horse was extremely majestic and there was a white moon on its chest.
"Que Yue's black horse?" Fan Zhongyan murmured in surprise.
Li Hong and Wang Zhi were no longer the prefectural prefectures than Fan Zhongyan, and they had no special understanding of the characteristics of some powerful people.
Fan Zhongyan calmed down the surprise on his face and said slowly: "It's the King of Changsha!"
Li Hong and Wang Zhi couldn't help but look surprised. Wang Zhi said, "I haven't heard of Brother Xiwen and the King of Changsha!"
Li Hong was even more direct and said, "I wonder why the King of Changsha came?"
Zhao Jin's identity made him very embarrassed with Fan Zhongyan's sect. Why do you say this? First of all, the enemy's enemy is a friend, and this is not wrong! Fan Zhongyan and Lu Yijian are mortal enemies. This time, it is the second time. The first time was when Empress Guo was deposed. Although this time it was called "Governance of Kaifeng Prefecture" was not strong, it was actually because Fan Zhongyan posted a picture of hundreds of officials to Song Renzong some time ago.
This picture of officials is not about the picture of civil and military officials attending court. It is a picture of interpersonal relationships. The paintings include portraits of officials. It also describes what his relationship with Lu Yijian, when Lu Yijian promoted him, etc.
To put it bluntly, it means that Lu Yijian formed a party for personal gain. Look at it, you prime minister! It’s terrifying. There are people from all over the government and the country. If you don’t let him down, our Song Dynasty will not be able to be taken! Your position will not be preserved!
This scared Lu Yijian to death and jumped up and down. In addition, Yan Wenying helped him speak in the palace. This calmed down Song Renzong's suspicion.
But after this incident, Lu Yijian had become a mortal enemy with Fan Zhongyan. If he had the opportunity to kill Fan Zhongyan, the court and the people believed that Lu Yijian would never miss this opportunity. And even if there was no chance, Lu Yijian was always thinking about creating opportunities and smashing Fan Zhongyan's smelly and hard fecestone into pieces.
Needless to say, the hatred between Zhao Jin and Lu Yijian is about to be found. If Lu Yijian just wants to find an opportunity to kill Fan Zhongyan, then Zhao Jin is about to find an opportunity to destroy Lu Yijian's family.
The relationship between the two is so bad. Logically speaking, Zhao Jin and Fan Zhongyan should be good friends. In fact, this is not the case. Fan Zhongyan also wrote a letter to impeach Zhao Jin because of Zhao Jin's orders. As a relatively traditional scholar-official, Fan Zhongyan was very disgusted with the royal family's official career and believed that this would become a disaster for the country. Zhao Jin, who took the lead in provoking, naturally became the existence that Fan Zhongyan hated the most.
Zhao Jin became an idle official like Tongzhi of the Taichang Temple Etiquette Academy. Although Lu Yijian made great efforts in it, Fan Zhongyan did not do much. For this reason, the relationship between the two sides was very awkward, saying it was an enemy! It seemed that it was not. He said it was a friend and impeached the other party.
Fan Zhongyan is worthy of being a great man in the Song Dynasty. Although the relationship between the two sides was awkward, he still laughed loudly. "I didn't expect that Fan would be given away by the King of Changsha today, so I'm afraid he would be written into the genealogy!"
The slightly joking language immediately resolved the awkward atmosphere between Zhao Chen and Fan Zhongyan.
Wang Zhi was still a little unwilling to let go, Li Hong lowered his voice and explained: "It turns out that he is a guest, and it's not a happy event for Brother Xiwen to come to Raozhou today. If you make a fuss, wouldn't it be a bad thing for Brother Xiwen?"
Wang Zhi nodded then, and the two followed Fan Zhongyan and walked out of the ten-mile pavilion.
Zhao Qian came to the front of the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, strangled the war horse, raised the hooves of the bowl-sized horses high up, and the war horses soared their feet, raised the dust, and their tall figures bathed in the sun.
Li Hong and Wang Xian couldn't help but look shocked, and their pace of progress couldn't help but pause.
Only Fan Zhongyan walked up with a calm wind and cloud, bowed and said, "Good Prince!"
Zhao Qian turned over and dismounted, stomped his feet, and bowed, saying, "Haha! It's better to be down-to-earth. Today is late. I hope Mr. Fan will not be surprised!"
Fan Zhongyan smiled calmly, but his heart was filled with surprise. Although he had seen Zhao Jin in the past, it was already several years ago. On weekdays, he just felt that Zhao Jin was an ambitious prince. When they met today, they were surprised.
Zhao Qian's appearance did not inherit the black and round face of Song Taizu and Taizong. Instead, he looked handsome, had a thin face and a slightly dark skin, but among the men, he was fair. He had a faint beard on his lips and a faint smile on his mouth, which made people feel good even if they met for the first time.
He was wearing a bright white tight-sleeved robe, with black spring and autumn inscriptions on the edges, revealing a classical and elegant smell. He was wearing a lake-green silk sweatshirt. He was wrapped in a simple black rhinoceros horn belt around his waist. He was not decorated at all. The Song men looked good at wearing big red flowers, big flower hairpins, etc., but Zhao Jin did not. He wore a wingless black gauze hat on his head and a simple ebony hairpins.
The only decoration is probably the black sheathed Tang sword at the waist. The gray-white patterns can be seen in the darkness of the sword sheath, and the simplicity of the classical and noble.
Zhao Jin's temperament is very complex, with the sharpness of the army, the nobleness of the royal noble, and the gentleness of the literati. Although his temperament is complex, when it comes to Zhao Jin, it is magical and does not make people feel uncomfortable.
A dragon and a phoenix among people!
Although we didn't have long been together, Fan Zhongyan had already secretly given Zhao Chen a high evaluation in his heart.
However, this evaluation will not make Fan Zhongyan happy, but rather regret and vigilance. Although regret and vigilance are two kinds of feelings, they are both the same reason.
Zhao Jin’s identity!
If it was an ordinary person, Fan Zhongyan would probably want to support him. But Zhao Jin's identity was not the case.
Zhao Qian did not stay for a long time, just outside the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, filled a cup, raised his head high, and said with high apology: "I wish Mr. Fan to benefit the people in Raozhou and return to Beijing as soon as possible! Say a daring word for the Song Dynasty!"
Fan Zhongyan also drank a full cup. Although he had already drunk two cups in a row, Fan Zhongyan's face was not red, his ears were not red, his standing steadily, and his voice was still clear. "I wish the prince was rich and glorious!"
Zhao Qin was stunned when he heard this, and showed a strange smile. Without saying anything, he bowed to Li Hong and Wang Xian, turned his horse on his back, turned his head and left.
Looking at Zhao Jin's back, Li Hong couldn't help but sigh: "Why did you give birth to Yu?"
"The work of the King of Changsha is interesting to evaluate the King of Changsha!" Wang Xian said with a smile, but the sorrow in his eyes revealed that Wang Xian was not as happy as he showed.
After pouring wine for Li Hong and Wang Xian, Fan raised his glass and said, "Drinking this glass again, Fan said goodbye! I will leave after I send you thousands of miles away. I will say goodbye to my daughter. We should be happy!"
Li Hong and Wang Xian cheered loudly, and the three of them raised their glasses to drink.
After drinking, Fan Zhongyan rode the horse he was leading without looking back and rode his horse southward. Under the sun, Fan Zhongyan's figure was pulled long and so conspicuous.
With an uplifting body and abundant righteousness, everything is unbearable to impress.
"If you can be a friend of Brother Xiwen, you will have no regrets in this life!" Wang Xian sighed.
Li Hong smiled and said, "Brother Xiwen has left too, so let's go back too!"
…………
"Prince!" As soon as Zhao Qin entered the palace, Gongsun Xuanxu rushed out of the gatehouse.
Zhao Qian couldn't help but be startled, looked at Gongsun Xuanxu with amusement and tears and said, "Sir! What are you doing? Is Fan Xiwen's affairs worthy of your concern?"
Gongsun Xuanxu said with some regret: "Prince! Do you really don't know about Fan Xiwen's influence in the sects? Even if Fan Xiwen was exiled to Raozhou, if he could make friends with Fan Xiwen, he would know for the scholars in the world. Your fame will rise sharply! Just like Sun and Liu, you can resist Cao!"
Zhao Qian shook his head and said calmly: "Failed!"
Gongsun Xuanxu looked surprised and looked over his face. He was about to speak, but he found that he was talking to Zhao Qian in front of the palace. This was not a good place to discuss matters. Gongsun Xuanxu looked around and simply pulled Zhao Qian into the door room. As for the servant who was guarding the door, he was naturally kicked out.
"How could the prince fail? It's not that you said something that shouldn't be wrong? Fan Zhongyan has reached this point and should know that you can join forces with the prince to better fight against Lu Yijian!" Gongsun Xuanxu said in confusion.
Zhao Qian sat on the chair, admiring and smiling helplessly, "Mr. Fan is a gentleman, not a politician!"
Before Gongsun Xuanxu could continue to ask, Zhao Jin continued: "When Mr. Fan was toasting, he said this to me. 'May the prince be rich and prosperous!'"
When Gongsun Xuanxu heard this, he was stunned and said no more. He sighed and said with regret: "Fan Xiwen said this, it seems that there is no show! Wealth and glory! Wealth and glory! Wealth and glory! It seems that blessings are actually half threatening and half persuasion to ask the prince, you give up your power and be a prince of peace! After all, the prince itself is synonymous with wealth and glory, why should you bless this way?"
Zhao Jin nodded without saying anything, and suddenly became a little confused. Why did he pursue power but was disapproved and obstructed by so many people? Even awesome people like Fan Zhongyan gave up joining forces with him to fight against Lu Yijian in order to make him a prince of peace, and even said this sentence gently but firmly when they even offended him.
After sighing a long time, Zhao Qian murmured: "It seems that the only way to make Lu Yijian arrogant for three years!"
Gongsun Xuanxu nodded helplessly.
…The Prime Minister’s Office…
Zhao Jin was bitter and could not join forces with Fan Zhongyan to fight against Lu Yijian, limiting Lu Yijian's development.
However, Lu Yijian shook his head and sighed against his subordinate Tan Enshi, "Although the King of Changsha said it was Ding You for three years, he won the reputation of filial piety. The officials are afraid that they will trust the King of Changsha more, and they will be killed by the snake without death!"
Although his aide, Tan Enshi, had three shortcomings: his ugly appearance. He was reported to have been ill when he was young and was not treated in time, so he only had the whites of his eyes, which looked very scary. The second disadvantage is that Tan Enshi was a poor family, and his mother was a genius. The third disadvantage is that he was a little bit shorter than his right foot and he walked.
Therefore, although Tan Enshi was talented, he could not participate in the imperial examination, and even if he was recommended, there was no one. As an official in the Tang Dynasty, he had to pay attention to his good looks and official power. The Song Dynasty downplayed a lot in this regard, as long as it was not too ugly. However, the Song Dynasty inherited a lot of cultures of the Tang Dynasty, so although Tan Enshi was talented, he was not accepted by the officialdom.
Perhaps it was because of this that Lu Yijian was relieved to use Tan Enshi. After all, Tan Enshi could not use his talents except relying on him.
Tan Enshi also felt sorry, but he looked at this matter differently from Lu Yijian, saying: "My husband takes the King of Changsha too seriously. You must know that the court is the decisive victory. So what if the King of Changsha has won the holy family? The King of Changsha has consolidated and expanded his power in the past three years. Three years later, even if the King of Changsha returns to the court, what if he is the prime minister? If the people below do not obey the orders, the King of Changsha will have no choice but to be reincarnated even if Zhuge Liang is reincarnated!"
Lu Yijian shook his head and said, "I am not afraid of this! I am already fifty-eight years old this year! What about the little fox of the King of Changsha? It's not enough to be crowned in the year! It's so difficult for me to suppress him, but my son is... difficult for me!"
After hearing this, Tan Enshi nodded thoughtfully and said, "How about poison killing?"
Lu Yijian shook his head and said, "Impossible! The little fox, the king of Changsha, built his nest very firmly, and I can't buy people. Even if I can barely spend a lot of money, it's just a few ordinary servants! The little fox's diet is very cautious. The food of the cook is held in his hands. After the cooked dishes, it is passed through a silver needle. Not only does it try to check the two things, there is also a doctor who specializes in poisoning and a medicine that can suppress all kinds of poisons at any time. Even if he is poisoned, he will have enough time to treat it!"
Speaking of this, Lu Yijian sighed and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I have used too much poison, so it's all for Queen Guo! I'm afraid that the little fox would think of the little empress. Because these doctors and medicines are newly equipped!"
Tan Enshi nodded and said helplessly: "My husband, since there is no way, Xiaoke thinks he should give up the matter of dealing with the King of Changsha for the time being. After all, the King of Changsha is too sensitive. Without the certainty of hitting the attack, you must not take action easily."
Lu Yijian sighed and nodded, "I understand what you said. Although I am unwilling to accept it, it seems that this is the only thing now!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
