217, November 10, sunny, the courtyard is deep and deep

The unique cave in this ancient temple in the deep mountains is actually very relaxing. Walking on the snowy forest path, it feels quite interesting to look for plum blossoms on the snow.

"Ashu, how many days have you been in trouble? I'm afraid you have it."

Yan Shu, who was eating wheat cakes, heard Song Beiyun's words and suddenly didn't react. He continued to chew the cake for a while before speaking: "Why do you suddenly say this? Are you sick?"

"You have to adapt to the role in advance, your grandma's. When you suddenly ask, you won't be missed." Song Beiyun said gritting his teeth: "Look at the way you walk, you're a dog scholar who is used to going to brothels."

"Then what should I do?"

"Be sexy! Be sexy!" Song Beiyun patted his butt: "Look at me, you have to twist back and forth, do you understand when you twist?"

Yan Shu pointed to Zuo Rou, who was walking in front of him while practicing plum blossom stakes, and remained silent.

"Can you learn from good ones?" Song Beiyun held Qiaoyun and Qiaoqiao's hands: "Look at how they walked, what did you learn from a monkey?"

Yan Shu scratched his head and began to learn the gaits of Qiaoqiao and Qiaoyun, and walked forward with one swaying step and three steps. But no matter how you look, it was awkward, but the gentle swaying posture of a girl was missing. It felt like he had made great progress without the same hands and feet.

"When it comes to this, Miss Zuo practices martial arts all day long. Is she a master?"

"She is a big deal." Song Beiyun looked at Zuo Rou who was jumping in front of him: "She...ah, let me tell you that, Qiaoyun's martial arts practice was shot by real swords and guns. I was driven to the horse by my master since I was a child. That guy practiced martial arts... It was a martial arts secret book I bought at the street stall. Sister Qiaoyun, how much did that guy spend at that time to buy that book of Damo Yijin?"

"Eighty cents." Qiaoyun covered her mouth and was overjoyed: "I had to pay back the price, but it was originally worth one hundred cents."

"It is said that it is the secret of the world's untold secret, and then she practiced it for seven years." Song Beiyun spread his hands: "It's just like this, what magical skills do you expect her to practice?"

"That's really a scam." Yan Shu pondered for a moment: "What a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that she has a demon like you behind her. If she had changed to a woman, she would probably be like what she is now." Yan Shu sighed and said, "There is a rare woman missing in the world."

In addition to being a troll, Yan Shu is also a top Onmyoji, who is best at speaking sarcastically. He doesn't know whether this sentence is good or bad. Anyway, it's all over if it makes people feel uncomfortable.

In addition to Jin Ling'er, the group soon came to the canteen of Bao'en Temple. The vegetarian food in this place is famous for its exquisiteness and is famous all over the world. Many poets of the previous dynasty left poems and essays for the vegetarian food in this place. The canteen is also covered with the pens and inks of famous masters, which looks quite grand.

When they stepped into this place, the monk immediately came forward to greet a few people to sit down. Anyway, those who could come to this place were either rich or noble people. They didn't even ask about their identity. They just asked "Where do you have a meal?" and then started to organize.

Song Beiyun had heard of the exquisiteness of the vegetarian rice in this place, but how exquisite it was today made him feel more knowledgeable. If the tofu was served, it would make people think it was the stewed meat. Not only did it look like a styling, it even tasted almost the same, but it also had a bowl of light soup as light as water. One sip of it was full of flavors. Even the rice was tribute rice transported from Jiangxi, with a strong aroma and a strong taste.

"It's delicious, delicious." Song Beiyun held the bowl and shouted three times in a row: "It's really amazing to make the vegetarian dishes look like this."

"That's natural. You don't look at who used to eat here." Yan Shu sighed: "A meal like this is afraid that it's the food for ordinary people a month. It's really like the wine and meat that are smelly and frozen to death."

"What do you care about so much? You are a vested interest and you should support privileges." Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "Your position will definitely not allow you to sympathize with the lower class people, do you understand?"

"But from afar, isn't our vision to cultivate ourselves, manage our family, govern the country and pacify the world?"

Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "That's your dream, not mine. My dream is to make yourself comfortable while improving the fate of the lower classes. Vested interests are not qualified to speak for the lower classes. You can discuss this issue with me after you understand this principle."

Yan Shu frowned, and he put down his chopsticks: "This is wrong. Even if it is a king, prince, general, and minister, what is wrong with compassion for the world?"

"You eat meat, roast on fire, play with girls, and walk on dogs. What qualifications do you have to go and say that the people are so pitiful, I want to benefit them. Don't your mother fart?" Song Beiyun also put down his chopsticks: "When will you wait for you to let go of your own interests and stand among the majority of people, eat braised vegetables and don't cover your clothes, you are qualified to say that I want to change the world. The vested interests are standing from a downward perspective. You tell me you to pacify the world? Do you think it's appropriate? Your butt is sitting here, how do you make people believe your words? What will happen in the end? Of course, it's just a batch of wine and meat smell, and a batch of frozen bones. Do you understand?"

Yan Shu felt it was reasonable but also unreasonable. He was a little angry and snorted: "Then according to what you said, should you be poor and live in poverty, and should you be poor and live in poverty?"

"Hi." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "You misunderstood what I mean. What I mean is not to not let you do anything, but to ask you not to consider the problem from the perspective of frozen bones. It is to let you consider the problem from the perspective of wine and meat smell. You are a scholar-official class, and your resources can do a lot of things. If you want to change the world, it is not as simple as overthrowing it. It is because you can build a tall building. You sit upstairs and continue to enjoy your wine and meat, while the people on the lower floors also moved from the hut to the building. The high platform educates and enlightens everything. What you want to do is not to subvert the times. What you have to do is to let those people below see you no longer fear, curse, and no longer tremble, but can straighten their chests and shout, "I should do this one day, too."

Song Beiyun knocked his head with chopsticks: "What does it mean? People have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope. This is what you, a literati, want to do, not sighing at the smell of wine and meat."

"Well said!"

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside, which scared Song Beiyun and shuddered. Then he saw the King of the South Courtyard stalking in from outside. He looked around and then his eyes locked directly on Song Beiyun. After looking for a while, the expression on his face looked like he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh out loud.

Song Beiyun felt his gaze and quickly lowered his head. When the king of the South Courtyard saw him like that, he laughed silently. He walked to the table next to him and sat down, ordered the monk to serve the food, but he didn't say a word.

After the meal was served, the King of the South Courtyard was not busy eating: "Just looking up at Song Beiyun, who was closest to him: "This girl, I see you so familiar. Do you have a brother who can touch your bones and see things?"

"Why..." Song Beiyun sighed: "Why should you, the prince?"

The King of the South Court finally couldn't help laughing, and didn't ask why Song Beiyun was here. He just shook his head and smiled: "What he said just now is so bold. If one day you want to travel around the world, don't forget to go to Liao Kingdom to take a look."

Song Beiyun smiled bitterly. The discussion with Yan Shu just now was too passionate and forgot his daughter's identity. Now it's better... It's been seen through, and it's so embarrassing.

"Your Majesty is so elegant. Today is here to enjoy the snow today?" He thought for a while and started to say nothing: "Your Majesty, don't laugh at me. This is also because I am friends with the daughter of Ding Guo Duke, and I want to take advantage of her name to see. I am a natural delicious person. I heard that this vegetarian food in Baoen Temple is the best in the world, so I got this bad idea."

"No obstacle." The king of the Nanyuan nodded and said, "If it is said that the daughter of Duke Ding and the man entered the temple together, it would be unbearable. I understand, there is no need to say anything."

Zuo Rou raised her head: "Isn't it over if it is spread now?"

The King of the South Court laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not that talkative person. I just looked at the boys with a little emotion. I thought I was much ridiculous than you when I was just as old as you."

It seems that this guy is quite refreshing. Whether it is really refreshing or fake refreshing, he at least hasn't celebrated with him on the surface, and Song Beiyun only told Zhao Xing that he was a Han person. I think Zhao Xing would not reveal it easily, so the king of the South Court also accepted Song Beiyun's feelings.

"How many days will the prince be on the mountain?"

"Well." Hearing Song Beiyun's question, the King of the South Court was silent for a moment: "Seven days of worshiping Buddha, I heard that there will be many noble families here to admire the snow and worship Buddha tomorrow, and join in the fun at that time."

Ah... Yes! Last night, Jin Ling'er told Song Beiyun about this matter. When the snow clears, Bao'en Temple will become particularly lively. Most of the famous families, princes, generals and ministers in Jinling City will come to enjoy the snow and take a break. Every time there will be poems and essays. And I heard that every time this time, it is a good opportunity for the young masters and ladies to see each other, so most of the people come here are young people.

Think about this place...

Originally, the social openness of this era was relatively high. Song Beiyun felt that the openness of the Song Dynasty he was in was definitely greater than that of the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of the ridiculous stories of the previous dynasty, this era would only be better than the blue. In such a social atmosphere, coupled with the unique geographical environment here, people know how many wild mandarin ducks will be there to fly together here, and people know how many cuckolds will be worn on the heads of honest people.

Song Beiyun felt that he might have come to a hidden place in the world. If he thought about it now, the Empress Dowager and the King of the South Court were probably planning to take advantage of the situation.

There are guards outside their courtyard, and no one can get close to them unless there are professional players like Xiaoyu, so this seems noisy but is the safest place for them.

It's so conspiring... Song Beiyun nodded repeatedly, thinking that the King of the South Court and the Empress Dowager's close servant that day were probably talking about this aspect, and he was very thoughtful.

After understanding this, when Song Beiyun looked at the King of the South Courtyard again, he felt that there was a trace of tacit understanding between the two of them.

Sure enough, after dinner, Song Beiyun took the initiative to say goodbye to the King of the South Courtyard. Then the two of them did not say a word, and just thought that nothing had happened, they went back in their own directions.

Back at Jin Ling'er, Song Beiyun distributed the food he brought to Jin Ling'er and the little fish who served her, and then sat next to Jin Ling's crib and fed her food while saying, "I was discovered by the King of the South Courtyard."

Jin Ling'er's eyes opened: "What's the matter?"

"He seemed to have no intention of causing trouble, just pretended not to see it, and left after dinner." Song Beiyun pursed his lips: "Well, this guy is hard to deal with."

Jin Ling'er thought for a moment: "It's okay. Just say you came with Zuo Rou. We have made a solution early in the morning. I'll just say that I don't know that you and Xiao Yan are men."

"I think something is going to happen." Yan Shu leaned on the porch outside, frowned.

"What do you think?" Song Beiyun looked back at him: "How come you are talking nonsense all day long."

"You have to know what the king of the Southern Court of Liao Kingdom is here to do. He is here to have a good relationship with the Song Dynasty." Yan Shu analyzed carefully: "But don't you think it's going too smoothly?"

Song Beiyun scratched his head: "It's okay, what's wrong?"

"As far as I know, there are two factions in the Liao Kingdom, and they are fighting hard. The king of the South Court is afraid that the peacemaker will be the one who is in the Song Dynasty. What do you think will happen if something happens to him?"

"War starts." Song Beiyun said without hesitation: "He is the king of the South Court and the grand vassal of the Liao Dynasty. If something happens to him here, he doesn't have to think about the consequences. And the eldest prince of the main and peaceful faction may be... But why did you suddenly say that?"

"You always say that I have the talent of the prime minister. I always feel that being the prime minister does not require any talent. If you want it, you need to have the meticulous power. Yesterday, when I went to enjoy the snow, I saw many monks from the Liao Dynasty coming to Baoen Temple. Before, I thought it was nothing, but just some monks from the Liao Dynasty. But today I heard the king of the South Court sincerely admire you and I thought that things would not be that simple."

Song Beiyun said while feeding Jin Ling'er: "You keep talking."

"Since the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there have been news of reforms, but as you said, reforms are like the coldest days of the water surface, the same is true for the Song Dynasty, and the Great Liao Dynasty. From the selection of the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom and the king of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom where they were stationed here, it can be seen that the reform of the Liao Kingdom has begun, but those conservatives wish they could die." Yan Shu said in a deep voice: "In the past, the King of the Southern Court lived in the Honglu Temple and was heavily guarded. But now he came here, what would you do if you were those conservatives?"

Song Beiyun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Someone wants to assassinate the King of the South Courtyard!"

"What I fear most is that he was assassinated." Yan Shu sighed.

Song Beiyun's expression also became solemn: "It's just that someone was skewed on the bed of the Queen Mother of Song!"

Yan Shu refused to comment, and Song Beiyun immediately stood up: "Little Fish!"

"Mr. Song." Xiaoyu took a step forward: "Please give me instructions."—
