This stroke just confirmed that this painting of flowers and birds was indeed written by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not a god, so he could not predict the future and prepare such gifts for envoys to congratulate the Emperor on his wedding. In fact, when Zhao Ji painted this flower and bird painting, the wedding had not yet been decided, and Fujiwara Shoko had no idea that he would
It was arranged this way by Emperor Shirakawa.
In this way, both Emperor Shirakawa and Kimiwara Fujiwara could only admit that this was the work of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, this painting of flowers and birds is a rare "remnant".
Emperor Toba was surprised and delighted, and loudly ordered his chamberlain to hang the scroll in the Qingliangden without putting it away.
Emperor Baihe also smiled and praised the envoy of the Song Dynasty for sending the most appropriate gift.
Fujiwara Kimimi's face was distorted and he hurriedly covered his face with the paper fan he carried with him.
During the grand ceremony, such a tragic scene cannot be shown.
Ximen Qing smiled and cupped his hands, seeing Mr. Fujiwara's embarrassed look covering his face with a fan. The faces of these two old guys should be burning right now, right? [
Want to plot against me? It’s a joke. I’ve been living like a dog for decades!
This and Ximen Qing's secret plan are simply the small water ripples caused by the breeze blowing on the water, and they are incomparable.
The end is near for these two old guys.
Emperor Shirakawa returned to his dormitory angrily, and the first thing he did was call Fujiwara Kimomi over, scolding him not only on his nose but also on his face.
It didn't matter that Fujiwara Kimiji had lost his own face, because Emperor Shirakawa felt deeply embarrassed by this incident, and it was in front of the puppet of his grandson, Emperor Toba, which he couldn't bear.
Looking at his true nature, there is actually one thing he needs to endure, and that is the thought of Fujiwara Shoko having to sleep with that puppet Toba tonight, which makes him feel a faint pain in his heart...
In the main hall just now, Shoko Fujiwara, who was wearing twelve singles, was so gorgeous and dazzling that Emperor Shirakawa suddenly felt a trace of regret.
The "Twelve Singles" are the most luxurious in style and the most gorgeous in color, as brilliant as burning clouds!
Emperor Shirakawa scolded Kimiwara Fujiwara and lay down angrily, still struggling with those images in his mind.
One night! Give that puppet Toba only one night at most!
Emperor Shirakawa clenched his hands. One night was the limit of what he could tolerate.
As long as Toba touches Fujiwara Shoko, the child in her belly will have the rightful status it deserves!
Emperor Shirakawa went to bed angry, woke up early in the morning, and kept urging news from Ye Yuden.
But the news coming from over there was a basin of cold winter water, which chilled him from head to toe.
"I am very tired today. I have not gone to the Night Palace at all, nor have I ever been in bed with the queen."[
"What!" Prince Baihe was furious: "How is this possible!"
He recalled that when he was fourteen years old, he had already read girls' numbers, but he was always ecstatic about new things. How could Toba, a puppet, be able to resist this temptation?
That is Akiko Fujiwara’s plump and attractive young body!
"Isn't that kid ashamed?" Emperor Shirakawa scratched his bald head and came to a possible conclusion.
If you think about it carefully, this possibility is not non-existent, but it is inappropriate for Emperor Shirakawa to summon Fujiwara Shoko over now.
"Maybe it should be done tonight?" Hiroyuki Shirakawa thought to himself, and ordered his chamberlain to find the Gion Queen.
Gion Empress is the concubine of Emperor Shirakawa and the nominal adoptive mother of Fujiwara Shoko.
It was most appropriate for her to come forward.
"Hey, go to Chengxiang Palace and tell Zhangzi to take the initiative in doing things."
The Emperor's instructions made the Gion Empress feel incredible and wanted to ask. The Emperor did not answer, but kept urging him angrily.
The Gion Empress knew about the relationship between Zhang Zi and the Emperor, but if such words were passed on at this moment, what on earth was His Majesty the Emperor thinking?
Gion girl Yu Yiyan went to Chengxiang Hall, but she did not go to Zhangzi directly. Instead, she ordered Zhangzi’s wet nurse to be called out to find out more, and then she knew what happened last night.
Strictly speaking, nothing happened.
The Gion Empress had no choice but to convey the exact words of the Emperor's instructions. After the wet nurse went in to deliver the message, she came out and replied not long after: "Zhangzi said that I didn't even look at her, and I didn't go to the Night Palace at all, and I didn't even hold her hand.
How to take the initiative?"
After Emperor Shirakawa got the news, he became even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot. It must be said that Emperor Toba's behavior was beyond his expectation, but he did not and could not imagine that behind this, there was Ximen, the envoy of the Song Dynasty.
The "credit" of the Imperial City Envoy
As the days passed by, Emperor Toba seemed to have completely forgotten about the new recruit Fujiwara Shoko, let alone the idea of taking the same quilt.
Fujiwara Shoko came to see Emperor Shirakawa several times, and his belly was already slightly bulging. Although his clothes could still cover it, sooner or later it would be exposed.
She was even more anxious than Emperor Shirakawa, and her face had lost its previous look.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?"
The Emperor cried out to the Emperor, but the latter could do nothing. The day before yesterday, Emperor Shirakawa had gone to see Emperor Toba and reminded him in a stern tone that he should go into bed.
But Emperor Toba just said lightly: "I understand."
This attitude made Emperor Shirakawa angry, but Emperor Toba walked away after saying this, completely ignoring him.
Emperor Shirakawa had no way to force Emperor Toba to abdicate until there was no heir, and that heir was now in Shoko's belly.
For the first time, Emperor Shirakawa discovered that his plan didn't seem so thorough.
"You go back first and I will think of a way."
Emperor Shirakawa had no choice but to hug Fujiwara Shokina for a while, and was no longer interested in that kind of thing.
At the same time, Ximen Qing got good news, that is, the scar-faced tiger Liu Renzhong came to visit and brought the good news.
"The blood-blowing janissaries have already established a foothold on Sado Island and occupied this area in the north."
Liu Renzhong took out a topographic map of Sado Island, pointed to one of the places, and explained to Ximen Qing: "There is a small waterfall next to it. Don't worry about fresh water. We have cut down the trees and built the first batch of wooden houses."
"You can make the decision on these matters." Ximen Qing nodded slightly: "I just want to know if there is anyone or any force on the island that can threaten us."
Liu Renzhong smiled, straightened his hunchback, and said with a red face: "This Sado Island is the place where Japanese nobles were exiled. The exiles are gathered in the south not far from the island. There are also several villages in the north, all of which are fishermen.
, the number of people is one or two hundred, and compared to the heavily armed soldiers, they are hardly a threat."
"Very good." Ximen Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Now that you have established a firm foothold, the maids can go forward."
Liu Renzhong whistled energetically and grinned widely: "Thank you very much, sir!"
Ximen Qing waved his hand: "Okay, are there any other difficulties?"
Speaking of this, the scarred tiger's face became serious. He took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and opened it solemnly.
Inside is a tiny gold nugget, about the size of half a drop of water.
"This was washed out from the river downstream, but the location of the deposit has never been found." Liu Renzhong said slowly: "If it is never found, the output will be far less than what your Excellency estimated before.
Amount."
"Of course the gold laundering output is not good, but at least it means you have found the right place." Ximen Qing held the small gold nugget in his hand and looked at it carefully: "If you want to obtain a large amount of gold, you must find a mineral deposit."
Liu Renzhong also understood this truth, and the two fell silent immediately. This difficulty was not expected before.
It is really frustrating to guard Jinshan and not know where the gate is.
However, Ximen Qing had a vague suspicion. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will go to Sado Island with you this time. Maybe there is a method that can be used."
Liu Renzhong suddenly became excited: "If you personally take action, maybe it will happen."
In the past two years, Ximen Qing's fortune has been at its peak. It seems that nothing can trouble him, and no matter what kind of dilemma it is, he can easily solve it.
Liu Renzhong looked at Ximen Qing in awe, this is a man with great luck!
"What can you do, sir?"
"You won't know until you get to the place." Ximen Qing smiled slightly: "I'm not trying to show off, but it's actually the first time I've used this method. I don't know what the effect will be. It all depends on God's will. I'll set off tomorrow."
"Okay, with the magical armored horse, it won't take long on the journey." The scar on Liu Renzhong's face shone with excitement: "At most, it will take half a day to cross the sea."
When Ximen Qing and Liu Renzhong arrived at Sado Island, it was the morning of the third day, and the sun was shining warmly on them.
Facing the waterfall is a waterfall hanging on the cliff like a horse. There is a large deep pool below. The roar and splash of water make people refreshed. There are three or five blood-blowing soldiers who are fetching water. They see Liu Renzhong.
When I came back, even Lord Ximen came in person, dropped the buckets and other things in his hands, and cheered.
"There is an abandoned village not far from here, and there are a lot of things that can be used." Liu Renzhong explained: "Even though most of the houses were damaged, and to keep things secret, we simply opened up another area and built wooden houses."
Ximen Qing nodded with interest: "Let's go and have a look!"
Under the leadership of the scar-faced tiger Liu Renzhong, they walked around a hillside. The roar of the waterfall could hardly be heard. There was a huge vacancy in the woods at the foot of the hillside. It was obviously the place where Liu Renzhong led the blood-blowing soldiers. Several
The rows of brand new wooden houses are still vivid in my mind.
"Is this the No. 1 camp of the Ximen Group Mining Company?" Ximen Qing was very satisfied that the Blood Blowing Soldiers could build a camp of this size in such a short period of time.
Of course, this is inseparable from the previous preparation work.
On the cargo ship, Ximen Qing had already ordered axes, saws and other equipment to be prepared just for this scene.
"My lord has come to see us!"
Before Ximen Qing stepped into the camp, the blood-blowing soldiers burst into cheers, which echoed in all directions in the mountains, causing crows to fly in surprise.
