Chapter 135: A bolt from the blue

Tang Anan and Pan Chengxin are both top singers in Bianliang City. Even if they show their figures, they will not earn more. And which two official prostitutes who jumped into the water are the rising stars in the entertainment industry in Bianliang City this year. It is estimated that these two beautiful geniuses will be very popular after this conference.

The joyful climax of Jin Mingchi was one after another. The "water swing" team had just dispersed, and it was time for the masses to entertain. First, several large pleasure boats sailed into the heart of the pool. On the pleasure boat, one-on-one beauties were showing their Cuju skills... The appearance of the Cuju boat also means that the ending time was coming. The people around Jin Mingchi began to leave the lake in groups of three or three, scattered into the flowers to find their own entertainment projects. These entertainment projects were Cuju.

Zhao Xing had heard that Cuju was the beginning of football, but after watching the famous Cuju performance in the Song Dynasty, he was so angry that he wanted to go crazy: Although Cuju plays football as round as football, the Earth and Mars are also round. Can they be the same as football?

On the pleasure boat in the lake, teams were performing two Cuju, three Cuju, and seven Cuju. The ball they played was sewn with twelve pieces of cowhide, "twelve fragrant skins, cut into round brocade"

The inside was filled with air, and it was kicked like a balloon. The ball was floating in the air and stayed in the air for a long time, which was enough to make all kinds of poss.

This kind of Cuju is already similar to shuttlecock kicking. Its confrontation is almost non-existent. It just kicks the ball into the air, and then uses the ball's time to stagnate the air to show off its various dancing postures and show off its body shape. That's all.

Among them, seven of them have a special name, called "Fallen Flowers and Flowing Water". Seven people stood in a row and kicked the ball to the next person in turn, and changed positions while kicking. The ball from the first person to the seventh person is called "Fallen Flower". After the seventh person receives the ball, they kicked the ball directly to the first person, which is called "Fallen Water"...

This is the third day of March in the Song Dynasty. This festival is also the traditional Chinese "Shangsi Festival", "Yuansi Festival", which is also the "Daughter's Day" and "Women's Day". After the Song Dynasty, this festival was unparalleled in China and still exists in Korea today.

Zhao Xing wanted to shout happily: I love this dynasty. In this dynasty, there is no need to be administrative level in entering and leaving the royal garden. You only need to have the face of a compatriot, and you don’t have to pay for the ticket, because this is the welfare of the common people.

On the Jinmingchi, the officials were playing ball hard. The people scattered in the royal gardens were also combined in the grass to start entertainment. They played in various ways, but Zhao Xing and other new Jinshi had no time to watch because the rewards of the little emperor began. In addition to the monthly salary, the officials of the Song Dynasty also had various additional incomes, and the rewards for festivals during the festivals were also one of the incomes... There was no way, the Song Dynasty's festivals were said to have more than 30 festivals, and holiday money was paid every month.

The royal live reward is a red envelope sent by the emperor on the spot. The red envelope contains copper coins that are different from the popular market. These coins are more exquisitely cast and are occasionally preserved in modern times. These coins are often called lucky coins. They are different from circulating coins. They do not have the year number on them, but are cast with some auspicious patterns and patterns.

Zhao Xing happily pulled Zhou Bangshi to receive the red envelopes distributed by the emperor. The person who sent the red envelopes was the eunuch Li Xian. When he sent the name, he looked at the name carefully. Seeing that this person and his apprentice Tong Guan were more powerful, he nodded slightly without any notice. When handing over the money, he also exclaimed: "Digonglang, take it firmly."

Zhang Yong, the command room of the Japanese army, was Li Xian's person. In the Jindai case that happened not long ago, Li Xian was at a disadvantage. This Jindai case also means that the old man from the young emperor's residence, Feng Shining and others officially took office... This marks that Li Xian's era has ended.

In theory, Zhao Xing, who knew these inside stories, should avoid being involved in the whirlpool of power struggle, avoided Li Xian's show of affection, but Zhao Xing did not have this awareness. He went forward without hesitation and grabbed Li Xian's hand without hesitation, and said enthusiastically: "The high-ranking official had been with Xixia for many years in Qin Feng and Xixia, and expanded the territory for my Song Dynasty, and admired it for a long time... I didn't expect that I could hold the double-team hand today..."

In the history of ancient China, eunuchs and eunuchs would be despised by Confucian scholars who were powerless to do. The eunuch Li Xian is an exception, the only exception in Chinese history. He is good at fighting wars and has won several battles. But even so, he is still looked down upon by those cultural people. Zhao Xing dared to hold the hands of the failed people in the palace fight regardless of suspicion, and did not hesitate to praise the other party's military achievements in vocabulary, which instead caused the new Jinshi to be despised. They moved quietly and tried their best to distance themselves from Zhao Xing.

Li Xian was very moved. The outdated eunuch would pinch Zhao Xing's hand with his backhand, and tears flashed in his eyes: "Di Gonglang looks majestic and he heard that he is also proficient in martial arts. This time the official family asked you to go to Mizhou to practice. I hope Di's functions will live up to the official family's entrusted."

Zhao Xing nodded solemnly and praised Tong Guan: "I met Tong Guan, the apprentice of the high-ranking official... The high-ranking official found a good apprentice." After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he actually added another sentence in his stomach, "It's really the best wine bag in the world."

However, he only muttered in his stomach for the second half of the sentence, and still maintained a warm and sincere smile on his face.

What's strange is that Zhao Xing and Li Xian's intimacy did not anger Feng Shining and others present. The eunuch's mind was different from that of ordinary people. Although they fought to the death, this group of people was actually very xenophobic. Zhao Xing had no power and no power, and could not threaten the eunuch's status, and had no effect on their internal struggles. However, he was willing to praise and affirm Li Xian's military achievements in person, which made Feng Shining feel very intimate. He squinted his eyes with a teacup, and silently wrote down the name Zhao Xing in his heart.

Officials of the Song Dynasty were on holidays, which was similar to the current public holidays. After receiving red envelopes from the emperor and thanking the emperor, the entire Song Dynasty entered the public holiday. After the officials gave the money, they immediately slipped downstairs and went to the grass to have a date, leaving behind a group of new Jinshi who were unknown to the so-called.

Then the show was performed with a show of love. The official prostitutes present took a fancy to the Jinshi, and immediately sent an invitation to date. After a while, teams of dogs, men and women hugged their shoulders and walked away in the rushing heads. The emperor disappeared - he was still young, an old lady from Empress Dowager Gao, who didn't like to make noise. After the routine scenes, the officials did not have the objection. She took the emperor back to the palace, leaving only a few new Jinshi on the whole building.

"Evil love, little love...ah, ah," Zhao Xing stood upstairs, looking at the remaining new Jinshi, feeling extremely depressed. Yesterday he was the most popular young and handsome man among official prostitutes, but I don't know what medicine Chen Yiyi gave to the group of official prostitutes who came to the mansion. Today, they all saw Zhao Xing one by one, and pretended not to recognize him. In the end, they didn't even get an invitation to the scene.

Going downstairs alone, Zhao Xing walked out of Jinmingchi swaying. Along the way, he saw a special "donkey ball" performance in the Song Dynasty: more than a hundred female players, wearing cotton jackets, silk shoes, each with carved saddle-flowered donkeys, and "flowered clothes" into a man's appearance, divided into two teams, holding painted ball sticks surrounded by gold and silver, and headed straight to a small colored ball goal standing on the field. The audience watched the game while watching the game in order to shout "Mengru", which looked like the "Xiongqi" roaring in modern football matches.

"Mengru" means "Xiongqi". This word was also created by Sichuan people. The donkey player shoots the ball passed to her into the goal, calling it "Zong Meng". From a linguistic perspective, the source of "Mengru" is "Shu people who play ball and hit the lake with a stick is called "Zhong Ji", and the pronunciation is Meng Ji".

The women's donkey ball game in the Song Dynasty, court, goal, flag, ball stick, ball size, riding, clothing, equipment, band, referee, competition charter, and men's polo competition in the Song Dynasty were roughly not far from that of the "big hit" men's polo. But obviously, the women's donkey ball game was more popular with the audience.

Such joy will last for a month and a half, and Jin Mingchi will open from March 1st and will not be closed until mid-April.

After leaving Jinmingchi, Zhao Xing turned around and looked at the prosperous scenery. It was the spring of 1087. He took a deep breath and said from his heart: "I love the Song Dynasty in 1087."

The joy of the world is always accompanied by suffering. When he returns home and sees Su Shi sitting in the mansion, Zhao Xing knows that he is going to return to the troubles of reality again.

After Su Shi handed over the resignation letter to the emperor, he did not go home and went directly to Zhao Xing. He needed a place to be quiet for a while. Of course, no need to ask, his resignation letter would be rejected by the Empress Dowager as usual.

Troubles and right and wrong entangled Su Shi's life. The most brilliant star in Asia in the 11th century had troubles and could not tell others: he had to show his knowledgeable side in front of his colleagues; he had to show his wise side in front of his students, his capable side in front of the emperor and his superiors, and his steady attitude in being a man in front of his wife and children. Therefore, he had troubles and could only tell Zhao Xing about it.

Su Shi told him about his resignation form, and then he talked heavily about his repeated attacks...

The Song Dynasty was invading, and under that prosperous scene, it covered the crying of the people on the border. In this time when the country was in trouble, the descendants of the struggle school tightened the string of partisan struggle - they adhered to the Confucian tradition: pay attention to the enemy and conquering people with virtue, and fight against compatriots to the end. Take the wrong things out of context from the words, and then launch a large number of struggles to paralyze the government.

This is the Song Dynasty, beautiful and painful. The four powerful enemies in the world were spyed, and each enemy had destroyed countless countries, but the Song Dynasty staggered forward, with flowers of civilization blooming. Westerners summarized a insightful sentence on this, called: The glory under the blade.

Zhao Xing didn't know how to solve Su Shi. He was not a psychological tutor and did not know how to resolve the knots in people's hearts. The troubles in front of him made him feel powerless. He was just a small person. How could he shake the big tree in the officialdom and how could he change the worldview of officials...

He sighed a long time, the only thing he could say was, "Why not go back?"

As far as he knows, the Song Dynasty treated scholars very favorably, such as Pan Dalin, who is now rich and has enough expenses to chase stars. It is said that he is now hanging with Zhang Shangying in Mount Wutai. The two of them wrote some famous poems that have been passed down through the ages. If Su Shi did not become this official, his money would be enough for several lifetimes. The Song Dynasty did not confiscate the house. After leaving the court, he would have no conflicts of interest with those parties and would not fall into literary inquisitions without writing anything - he would lie on a rocking chair when he went home, and he would be in a romantic and romantic way, so why should he endure this "literal inquisition"?

"How can I return?" Su Shi remembered the instructions of Empress Dowager Gao that night, and said in a crying voice: "How can I return... the official family... the empress dowager..."

"The Queen Mother has an order..." The voice of Tong Guan's duck was heard at the door: "Li Ren, the Queen Mother's decree... Hey, the bachelor is here. I'm here to greet you... Brother Li Ren, I heard that Zhou Bangshi, a Jinshi of Qiantang, is here. Please ask him to receive the order."

Zhao Xing no longer had the mystery of the Song Dynasty's imperial edict at the time. He stood in the house casually, "Come on, it's so late. Besides, all officials are on holiday now, are you still coming to pass the imperial edict? Don't make fun of it! What's the matter with me? Tell me!"

Tong Guan stumbled for a while, and only looked at Su Shi with his eyes and said nothing.

Su Shi was very proud. Seeing that Zhao Xing and Tong Guan wanted to be intimate, his face was a little gloomy. He stood up, shook his sleeves, and prepared to say a few angry words to say goodbye, but Ma Meng, who rushed in, immediately grabbed him affectionately and pulled him out without saying a word.

After Ma Mengde arrived in the capital, he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground. He visited him once. At this moment, there were thousands of words to say to him. Su Shi smiled bitterly. As Ma Mengde walked out of the hall, under the corridor, Zhao Xing's student Cheng Shuang bowed to Su Shi with his head and mind. Su Shi nodded silently and followed Ma Mengde to detour the intermediate courtyard. He stopped and asked, "Is Cheng Shuang calling you? There is a good student left!"

"Don't you have a good student, too?" Ma Mengde replied: "When Tong Guan's eunuch came, Xiao Shuang's wife saw that the momentum was wrong, so she hurriedly pulled me to come to you, just thinking that you would be ashamed of the eunuch."

"It's too complicated to make friends with others!" Su Shi sighed.

"More than you... Well, that's really mixed!"

Su Shi suddenly laughed.

After laughing, he sighed again: "This is the second time I have been rejected today. I think I, Su Shi, have this day!"

"Huh... there is someone who will be rejected by you, who?"

"Yan Jidao!"

"Tell me?" Ma Mengde showed the potential of gossip and asked enthusiastically: "Yan Jidao is the son of the former prime minister Yan Shu. Yan's "The flowers fall helplessly, and the swallows return like a familiarity" is a unique feature. It is said that Xiao Ling Gengsheng is the father of Xiaoshan (Yan Jidao's name) - 'The pipa string says lovesickness. At that time, the bright moon was there, and the colorful clouds returned...'"

"It's Xiaoshan... Prince Yan left behind thousands of private property, but Yan Xiaoshan was uncontrollable and had a big deal. In just a few years, he spent all his money that could spend several lifetimes. His family was hungry and looked like a child. People were betrayed him without warning. He believed that he would never doubt that he would deceive himself. Now he only had to compose music and sell poetry to make a living, and he wrote all the erotic lyrics and common songs. Today, it was early, and I wanted to persuade him on the way--there was a vacant seat in Xutian Town, Yingchang Prefecture... Unexpectedly, he drove out."

"What did he say?"

This time, four voices asked questions at the same time. Su Shi and Ma Mengde walked and said that they had already walked to the door of Ma Mengde's room. Qin Guan, Li Li and Chen Jichang happened to be holding hands to find Ma Mengde, and asked in unison after hearing this.

"He said, 'The current high-ranking officials of the court are mostly old guests and students of my Yan Mansion back then. I have no time to meet them, let alone you!" After saying that, he turned around and returned to the house and ordered him to see him off."

This passage reveals the "nostalgia" complex of disciples of the declining family, as well as arrogance and unwillingness... and endless decadence.

The few people here were silent.

Ma Mengde followed Zhao Xing to do business and was already infected with a lot of philanthropy. He was not in the mood to pity the children of the declining aristocratic families. While he pushed open his door with a relaxed expression and invited these people into the house, he greeted them with familiar words: "Ji Chang, the loach boat has been shipped, why haven't you left yet? Are you planning to go home on the same boat with the departed? Then you have to wait ten days later... Shaoyou, Uncle Fang, you two come to me, there will definitely be no good things. Ji Chang left, let's see who else can you take as a guise?

Zizhan, the first time you were turned away, you were eating hard; the next time, it was not considered a rejection. The student of the Legion asked me to pull you away, but he would still have to get together with you again... Tong Guan came the last time and took away the only mare of Legion. There was no good thing this time, but with you present, he would not be able to speak. The eunuch is incomplete and his personality is vicious. Cheng Shuang's wife asked me to pull you away, but she didn't want you to anger him... OK, okay, I know you are not afraid, but they are tiles, you are porcelain, and porcelain must touch tiles. Who do you think you are losing?"

Su Shi was joking by Ma Meng. He smiled and said, "Zhengqing, you are full of merchant words now, you can tell the loss of everything... By the way, Li Ren is good at guessing other people's thoughts. You have been with him for a long time. Now let's not talk about Tong Guan. You said that Shaoyou and Uncle Fang are here to find you, so why bother?"

"Paper and armor... The newly arrived cargo ship of the Japanese country was transported by the white paper and the Chinese armor. The two of them were fascinated by Japanese paper recently and were fascinated by archery. They must have come to ask for these two things. Uncle Fang, this little thing is not worth much money, just tell the inner knowledge, but you can follow Shaoyou every day, don't let Shaoyou lead him to ruin it.

Qin Shaoyou and Li Xiao laughed.

In Zhao Xing's living room, only Tong Guan and himself were left. Tong Guan carefully closed the living room door, walked to Zhao Xing, and asked softly: "Everyone says Li Ren is enough friends, brother Li Ren, what if I stay with you for the rest of my life?"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, which was shocked Zhao Xing couldn't sit still: "Don't talk nonsense, can you say this sentence randomly? Who am I? I dare to call the head of the Pavilion...Nuono, if you don't want to live, I still want to live. If you dare to say this again today, don't blame me for killing you to confess my own words."

Tong Guan was so anxious that his face turned red. His majestic body was hunched over like cooked shrimps. He bowed to Zhao Xing repeatedly and said, "Digong, don't shout loudly... I can't tell you clearly, Zhan Miao... Do you know about the county lord Lezhi?"

"Zhan Miao refused to marry, I'm at the scene." Zhao Xing slowly understood what the other party meant and then asked: "I heard that the county lord Lezhi has been deprived of the title. How is she now?"

Tong Guan whispered: "What you mean is the 'Lezhi' thing. You know that Lezhi has been deprived of his title. In order to cover up, the official family planned to give Lezhi as a follow-up marriage and give it to Zhan Certificate, but Zhan Certificate refused to marry him. Tell me what to do now - the palace city is imprisoned, but as long as Lezhi is in one day, where is the royal decency..."

Zhao Xing jumped around the ground like a soldering iron scalded his butt, and waved his hand quickly: "Don't look for me, I have a wife and a concubine, but I can't stand it because of the royal princess's temper..."

"Who said you would marry me?" Tong Guan looked at Zhao Xing with a blame, "Who can marry Lezhi now? She shouldn't exist..."

Zhao Xing originally wanted to ask, "Can you kill me?" But he immediately thought that the Song Dynasty had not had a history of massacre of the royal family in broad daylight. How could the royal family kill his bloodline without even killing literati and doctors?

Zhao Xing has hundreds of years of history than Tong Guan. He knows that there are many other names for killing a person...

Unfortunately, these topics cannot be explained.

"The Empress Dowager thought for a while and decided to send Lezhi overseas quietly and never mention it in front of others. This matter must be yours. The official recently heard some guards talking about you. When the Empress Dowager was worried, he gave this advice and said: "There is a big man in the Jinshi in the current year. I heard that he has been overseas. According to the guard Zhang Yong, when Su Laopo was in trouble, he lost because of a bet, so he worked hard to support Laopo's youngest son Su Dun, and he ran around and earned money for Laopo's family.

...This person is reliable, even Lao Po said he could ask his wife to send his children. I also heard that there are people in his mansion, including Japanese, Korean, Jiaozhi…”

Tong Guan paused and whispered: "This is a secret decree. The Empress Dowager hopes that you will secretly send the original Princess Lezhi and the current Zhao Shiqin'er to the outside for resettlement. No matter which country, you can only know this matter."

Zhao Xing slowly sat on the chair, slowly picked up the teacup, and asked slowly: "Zhao Qin'er...who is the man?"

Tong Guan knew what Zhao Xing asked, and replied in a low voice: "You don't need to inquire about this matter. The county lord likes to be quiet but not moves. He rarely goes out. There are only those people around him. He knows who that person is in the palace, so he can't say..."

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, glanced at Tong Guan quickly, wondering: Why are the palace guards so loose, some people are dancing swords in front of the political affairs hall; some people have made the princess' belly bigger. Could it be that the eunuchs in the palace are not in enough staff and have not tied up the princess' fence wall?

Tong Guan noticed Zhao Xing's glance. He should have guessed what Zhao Xing meant. A hint of anger flashed across his face. Zhao Xing immediately woke up and quickly made up for it: "I understand. You want to follow Lezhi to serve him and leave the palace. That's why you said the first thing."

Tong Guan's face calmed down, and he smiled bitterly: "The palace is discussing who to send Princess Le Zhi out. I have no power and power now, and my master Li Xian has also fallen. Instead of suffering in the palace, it is better to go out with the joy and have someone to take care of the rest of my life."

This temptation is too great.

When Zhao Xing witnessed the prosperous scenery in front of him, he thought that decades later, the Hu cavalry would trample this mountain and river, and always felt a sense of powerlessness. It was a kind of pain that was almost desperate.

He always wants to do something for this era, to save it from its busy fate, or to slow down the arrival of fate, and there is an opportunity in front of him.

Tong Guan was one of the "Six Thieves" who led to the demise of the Song Dynasty. Can he kidnap him away change the direction of history?

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xing shook his head slowly and said in his heart: "Impossible. Is the fate of the demise of the Song Dynasty really triggered by these six people? Can the six people lead the glorious civilization that has lasted for more than 200 years to demise? Impossible!

It was Song Huizong who created Tong Guan and the six thieves, not the six thieves who created Song Huizong. Without Tong Guan, there would be Wang Guan, Ma Guan and Liu Guan. Instead of getting a known dangerous person away and waiting for another strange dangerous person given by fate, it would be better to squeeze out the benefits of the person in front of him to take advantage of it..."
