Let's say that Dai Zong left Taosheng Garden and went straight to the prison outside the city. However, he had good intentions and wanted to find Li Tieniu to give him a warning. The nobleman didn't know how he got the name of Li Kui. He looked at his words and looked like he was not happy. Don't mess with him. It will cause trouble.
They walked around in the cell, but Li Kui was nowhere to be seen. The jailers complained one after another, saying that Li Kui had knocked them to the ground, confiscated broken silver and copper coins, and had gone gambling long ago.
Dai Zong was depressed, but had no choice but to return to his place of residence. He was not very young and had no family property. He only lived in the Guanyin Nunnery next to the Chenghuang Temple. Two rooms in this nunnery were half rented and half given to him. Just live like this.
After entering the nunnery, the governor's monk greeted him, and he rushed into the room. He thought about it deeply in his heart. He suddenly thought that the noble man had obtained the Shadowless Movement but couldn't practice it. Could he be blamed for not telling the truth? This skill must be practiced from an early age. After a while, I thought of all the words of the noble man. Then I saw that my eldest son was old but had not made any achievements. Not to mention that there was no descendant, not even my daughter, and I couldn't help but feel dizzy and fell asleep.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, Dai Zong got up early. After washing, he went to the dining hall to beg for a bowl of white porridge. He ate a few plain steamed buns, then threw away his chopsticks and walked out of the nunnery.
Since the noble man yesterday allowed him to see him today, he naturally couldn't miss this opportunity. Regardless of whether he could practice the Shadowless Movement, he would answer in detail if he had any questions.
After the announcement, he entered the garden and saw the noble man talking to a man.
The man is slightly fat, of medium height, but well-dressed. He is talking about Xunyang Tower at the moment.
Dai Zong didn't dare to step forward, but Zhao Tong saw him and said, "Since you are here, why are you so pretentious?"
Dai Zong had no choice but to go over and salute, and introduced the man to each other, and found out that he was Huang Wenbing, the incompetent judge at home across the river.
It turns out that Huang Wenbing came here early in the morning for no other reason than to introduce Zhao Tao to the scenic spots in Jiangzhou. Xunyang Tower was his first choice and he had been recommending this place just now.
Zhao Tong was originally going to go there to have a look. Seeing that Huang Wenbing was a good man, he deliberately sold his face and agreed, taking Lei Sanhongqi, Huang Wenbing and Dai Zong with him to Xunyang Tower.
Not far from the North City Gate, Zhao Tong saw a restaurant. Next to the building was a viewing pole and a green cloth wine sieve with the words "Xunyangjiang Zhengku" written on it. On the outside of the carved eaves, there was a plaque with the name Su Dongpo. There are three characters in the book "Xunyang Tower".
Zhao Tong looked at it and said, "I was in Tokyo and I only heard about the Xunyang Tower in Jiangzhou, but it turns out it's here outside the city."
When the five people came to the building to take a look, they saw a vermilion watch beside the door and two white pink plaques on the pillars, each with five large characters, which read: There is no matchless wine in the world, and there are famous buildings in the world.
The five of them went upstairs and sat in a pavilion near the river. When Ping Chan looked up, they saw a good restaurant, but they saw:
The carved eaves reflect the sun, and the painted buildings reflect the flying clouds. The green curtains are low and connected to the windows, and the emerald curtains are high and hanging above the windows. To kill the drunken eyes, rely on the blue sky and thousands of clouds and mountains; to seduce the soul, turn over the auspicious snow and smoke in the river. At Baiping Ferry, I often hear fishermen singing their tangerines; at Hongluo Beach, I often see fishermen hitting their tangerines. The green locust trees beside the building are singing wild birds, and the green willows are in front of the door.
The bartender came up and asked, "Do you officials still want to entertain guests? Are you just entertaining yourself?"
Huang Wenbing said: "For recreation, you first get a few bottles of good wine. We will only sell fruits and meat, but not fish."
The bartender listened and went downstairs. After a while, a tray came upstairs, a few bottles of Lanqiao Fengyue wine, vegetables and fruits, and a variety of fat sheep, tender chickens, stuffed geese, and fine meats, all on vermilion plates.
Zhao Tong said: "They are all moving. Now that they are out playing, don't be restrained. It will not be beautiful."
After a few people heard this and knew that he was usually amiable, they no longer tensed up, and did not stick to master or servant, they just used chopsticks to eat and drink.
During the banquet, Zhao Tong deliberately considered Huang Wenbing and wanted to see what he saw, and said: "Today in the Song Dynasty, we are surrounded by tigers and wolves. If one day, the minions no longer lurk, which family should Wen Bing think is the most vicious?"
When Huang Wenbing heard this, he was shocked and dropped his chopsticks on the table. He wanted to shout but was afraid, but when he saw Zhao Tong's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
How could he answer such a question? Not to mention him, not even Magistrate Cai Jiu dared to answer, and even the ministers in the temple might not dare to answer hastily.
Zhao Tong said again: "You don't have to take your words seriously, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Huang Wenbing was helpless at the moment, gritting his teeth, thinking that if he could drink at the same table with King Qi today, it wouldn't matter if he was punished. However, he was cautious in nature and always thought of things in detail. Such military and national events must be carefully scrutinized.
However, he was a Jinshi after all, and he was also a Jinshi with the same Jinshi. He always thought about these issues during the scientific examination, so he didn't know how to start.
Hong Qi poured wine for everyone and looked at Huang Wenbing curiously. He saw Huang Wenbing slowly drink a glass, and then he said cautiously: "Today in the Song Dynasty, enemies are waiting around, like stars, and I am in the center."
Hong Qi also read books, but he didn't read them well. He focused all his attention on martial arts, but he could still understand it. He secretly thought that the things that fell out of the book bag were all nonsense.
Huang Wenbing continued: "There is Dali in the south, and the country is weak and unstable. It is difficult to stabilize the government, and there is nothing to fear. There is Fanxia in the west. It is ambitious and has been on the edge for hundreds of years. Its power has declined. In the north, the Liao Kingdom has a large power and a large army. Xi Wusheng "My ambitions are gradually diminishing. There is Korea in the east, separated by mountains and seas, beyond the reach of a whip, so there is no need to worry. The rest are getting more and more barren, so there is nothing to fear."
After saying something, Lei San and Dai Zong looked at each other. They had little education and could not tell the difference between right and wrong. Only Hong Qi was dissatisfied and said: "So, even if our country, Song Dynasty, is surrounded by enemies, we can't tell the difference between right and wrong." Sit back and relax?"
Huang Wenbing didn't dare to answer such a question. He just looked at Zhao Tong and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates..."
Zhao Tong looked at him and suddenly said: "Do you think Jurchen is true?"
"Ah, Jurchen?" Huang Wenbing was stunned immediately, and then asked doubtfully: "My lord, I have heard of this barbarian tribe, but this Jurchen does not seem to be bordering our country of Song."
Zhao Tong smiled, it was already good that Huang Wenbing knew about the Jurchens. He said, "The Jurchens established their country last year, and the country is known as the Golden State. What does Wen Bing think of this Jurchen?"
Although Huang Wenbing knew about the Jurchens, he didn't know many things due to his status, let alone the fact that 20,000 Jurchens defeated the 700,000 Liao Kingdom. At this moment, listening to Zhao Tong's words, he felt puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom is so powerful, how come Can the Jurchens be allowed to establish their country?"
The smile on Zhao Tong's face gradually disappeared and he said slowly: "Last year, twenty thousand Jurchens defeated the seven hundred thousand of the Liao Dynasty, and the country was founded. With the golden head and beautiful face, Aguda proclaimed himself emperor, and established Duning!"
He paused for a moment before speaking, then stared at Huang Wenbing and said, "Wen Bing, didn't you say that the Jurchens and the Song Dynasty are not bordered by each other? Look, if the Liao Kingdom is no longer there, wouldn't they be bordered by each other? "
"Ah!" Huang Wenbing yelled when he heard this and dropped his chopsticks again: "Your Majesty, no, this is absolutely impossible!"
