Chapter 629 Tokyo chaos, Zhao Ji’s restoration (5)
Author: grid fish
Nowadays, Li Qingzhao is in his prime, and he has become a lover of the emperor. How could he be in such a lonely and sad state of mind?
Therefore, during this period of time and space, Li Qingzhao’s que poem was destined to never come out again.
Wang Lin's mind was filled with lightning flashes, and his mind was changing all the time.
He looked at Li Qingzhao, who looked charming, delicate and pleasant, with a deep affection lingering in his heart.
Li Qingzhao also looked at the emperor at this moment.
When the two people's eyes met, they had a clear understanding.
Li Qingzhao smiled softly, waved his palace sleeves, and recited loudly: "The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night, and even blows them down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carvings fill the road with fragrance, the phoenix whistles, the pot light turns, and there are fish and dragons all night
Dancing moths are like golden wisps of snow willows, and laughter is filled with secret fragrance. The crowd has searched for him a thousand times, but suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dim light of the fire."
After Li Qingzhao finished reciting a poem, the expressions of the civil and military officials present were greatly moved. After a moment of silence, there were many people who screamed and screamed.
Li Qingzhao always regarded this Que Ci as a token of love between the emperor and her, and kept it in her heart. It was not included in the collection of emperor's essays "Siheng Long and Short Sentences" compiled by her and Zhu Shuzhen, and not many people outside knew about it.
Li Qingzhao made it public on this occasion on the night of the Lantern Festival, which illustrates the change in her mentality.
She was pregnant, her relationship with the emperor had blossomed, her heart was full of destination, and she no longer had any intention of hesitation.
Therefore, she is willing to publicize the emperor's poem and share it with the world.
The ministers were all beaming and praised the sapphire case. As for the emperor's literary name, many officials had only heard about it but had never seen it with their own eyes. This poem undoubtedly made people understand that the emperor was not only a horse-riding emperor, but also a poetry composer.
To the dashing emperor.
His civil and military skills surpassed those of the emperors of all previous dynasties.
Li Qingzhao stepped back, and Wang Lin looked at Zhu Shuzhen with a smile.
Zhu Shuzhen has a quiet personality and is a little shy. She is actually very reluctant to recite poems and write poems in public.
But she didn't want to spoil the emperor's interest, so she stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty, Shuzhen did have an old composition, which was written when she was in Jiangnan. However, her mood at that time was very different from today, and the composition at that time may not be popular with your majesty and you all.
Your Majesty, I am just trying to entertain you all by playing tricks on my own."
"Fire trees and silver flowers are eye-catching, and drums are blowing from the sky to make the spring breeze. New love begins and worries are busy, and old things are recalled in dreams.
I hope that we can be adults for a while, and let the moon be hazy forever. It takes time to get drunk while admiring the lanterns, but we may not be able to get together next year."
After Zhu Shuzhen finished chanting, Li Gang took the lead and praised her: "It takes a long time to get drunk while admiring the lanterns. I may not be able to do it next year. Your Majesty is indeed the most talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and her skills are extraordinary."
The ministers immediately praised him.
Although Zhu Shuzhen's "Yuan Ye" is also a masterpiece, with the sapphire case in front of it, it seems a bit ordinary.
Zhu Shuzhen was just a hypocrite, shielding the emperor's face, so she smiled when she saw this. After walking back to her desk, the neighboring ladies bowed their heads in approval, and she responded with a smile or two.
Zhang Jun suddenly came out to pay homage and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard for a long time that your Majesty's name has moved the world. Now on the night of the Yuan Dynasty, your Majesty is having a banquet with us and all the ministers and enjoying it with all the people. Is there anything new you can do?"
All the courtiers agreed and looked at the emperor.
Wang Lin knew that it would be difficult for him not to come up with a poem on such an occasion, given his great reputation, so he thought about it briefly and said with a smile: "In that case, I will improvise a poem to encourage you all."
.”
Wang Lin raised his head and pointed at the bright moon in the vast night sky, and said loudly: "Shangyuan - if there is a lamp without a moon, it will not entertain people. If there is a moon without a lamp, it is not spring. When spring comes to the world, people are like jade, and the lamps burn the moon and the moon below.
Like silver, the streets are full of pearls and green ladies wandering around, and the land is filled with music and singing. If you don’t show your beauty and smile, how can you spend this good time?"
The ministers clapped their hands and praised, Wang Lin laughed loudly, and raised his glass again to invite the ministers to drink.
…
Kaifeng.
The Imperial City of the Former Song Dynasty.
As the new governor-general of Dayan, the military commander of Henan and Shandong provinces, and the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Wu Song's military affairs office was located in the East Palace where the prince formerly lived.
Wu Song was appointed by the emperor as the headquarter in Shandong, Henan, and was responsible for monitoring the Zhao and Song clans. He had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
But in Wu Song's view, the Zhao and Song clan could no longer make any trouble, and Zhao Ji lived alone in the palace of Nuo Da. The only place where he really moved around was in the palace garden where his imperial study room was located.
All the concubines and concubines gathered in the nearby Linde Palace.
The rest of the palaces and gardens were sealed by Wu Song's troops.
In the past two years, Zhao Ji has been very silent and low-key, barely leaving the palace.
So as time passed, Wu Song gradually relaxed his initial high vigilance towards Zhao Ji.
Gradually, members of the Zhao Song clan, especially Zhao Ji's close relatives, were allowed to enter the palace to visit Zhao Ji, but they had to undergo strict interrogation by the soldiers.
Of course, Wu Song's relaxation was not his own decision, but came from the emperor's recent statement.
The emperor informed Wu Song a month ago that if close relatives of Zhao Ji came to visit the palace, they could be released after verification.
But what Wu Song didn't expect was that no one would come at all, including Zhao Ji's children. Only Zhao Fuji, Chongde and other women visited Zhao Ji once when they left Kaifeng for Yanjing. From then on, Zhao Ji
Living alone within high walls.
It is said to be a palace, but in fact it is no different from a prison.
But as soon as the ban was lifted, in the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, a member of the Zhao and Song royal family actually came.
The daughter of Emperor Zhezong, Princess Dekang.
Zhao Ji's niece.
Zhe Zong died young and had no heirs, so he passed the throne to Zhao Ji. For this reason, Zhao Ji treated Zhe Zong's descendants with generous treatment and rewards.
The key is that Princess Dekang also holds Zhao Fujin's token.
Moreover, Wu Song also knew that Shi Xiaohui, the daughter of Princess Dekang, was the daughter-in-law of the then Prime Minister Li Gang and the official wife of Li Zongzhi.
With these two relationships, Wu Song hesitated again and again and allowed Dekang to enter the palace, but he only allowed Dekang to bring one maid into the palace. The food and wine she brought with her claiming to accompany Zhao Ji during the festival were also repeatedly inspected by military doctors.
They were released only after they were found to be free of poison, and the interview was conducted under the supervision of soldiers.
…
In the palace garden where the cold imperial study room is located, Zhao Ji stood with his hands bare, raising his head and looking longingly at the clear blue sky.
Today is the Lantern Festival, but now Kaifeng, the imperial city where he is located, is no longer as grand as it was back then.
There was no traffic, no bright lights, no hustle and bustle of people... only wordless loneliness.
The only people accompanying him during the festival were an old eunuch and two palace maids. The rest of the concubines stayed in their own palaces and would not go out easily.
"Uncle Emperor!"
Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came into Zhao Ji's ears, a slightly emotional and trembling female voice.
Zhao Ji looked in astonishment and saw a middle-aged woman in a palace dress kneeling to the ground with tears streaming down her face.
His face was vague, but Zhao Ji forgot who was in front of him for a moment.
