Yang Zhihuan happily brought his sword to the Guards and Military Division, feeling that his life would be prosperous and prosperous from now on, and he would be able to ride freely in all directions.
Unexpectedly, after the announcement, a group of people poured out from the Si Yamen, put their hands on his shoulders and wiped his back, and tied him up tightly, leaving Shi Jin stunned.
Yang Zhi did not dare to resist or run. He allowed himself to be bound, but his body was uncomfortable, so he had to apologize and said with a smile: "Be gentle, be gentle."
The leader opened his mouth and asked, "Are you Meng De?"
Yang Zhi was confused, shook his head and said, "'I don't know this person."
The leader said again: "The prince said to himself that Meng De offered the sword, how could it be wrong? You are definitely lying. When you go in to be tortured and served, you will be punished!"
Yang Zhixin was confused, only knowing that his family's bad luck had not passed, and was getting worse.
Zhao Tong was sitting in the hall and saw Su Shi leading people to escort a big man in. This big man was tall and tall, and he should have martial arts skills, but there was a green patch on his face, which made him look more ferocious.
He looked down and out again, his clothes looked like they hadn't been washed for many days, and there were wine stains on them, and his demeanor was a few cents short of his own.
"Your Majesty, the thief brought it back to the prince for interrogation. It was the thief who brought this knife." After speaking, Su Shi stepped forward and presented the knife.
Zhao Tong only looked at the sword, but it was a precious sword, and saw:
The seven-star curve of the sharkskin scabbard is full of gems. It is inlaid with red agate on the silver grid, and the white jade is temporarily hung on the gold bar. The Volcano King brought peace to the troubled times, the old Linggong resisted the Liao enemies, and there was even a border crossing in the middle of the night. Now I feel sad thinking about it.
Zhao Tong stretched out his hand to suppress the collapse and slowly pulled out the knife. Another scene appeared:
The clear light is dazzling, and the air-conditioning is intrusive. From a distance, it looks like spring ice on a jade marsh, and up close, it looks like auspicious snow on Qiongtai. It is densely covered with patterns, like flying from Fengcheng Prison, and the purple air flows across the sky. It seems like what Chu Zhao got in his dream, and Mo Xie's generals can compare. Tai'a Juque is also waiting.
After reading this, Zhao Tong sheathed the sword and slapped the table: "Could it be that Gao Qiu sent you?"
Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Huang Gu next to him stood up and he suddenly said "Ouch" and became unsteady and fell to his knees.
"Your Highness, I am not sent by Gao Qiu!" Yang Zhi was confused, thinking what does this matter have to do with Gao Qiu? I am always unlucky, hit a wall at every turn, and I just have to take it away when someone comes from the sky.
"I heard that Gao Qiu also has a sword, but this one!" Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi was furious and argued hurriedly: "Everyone knows about Taiwei's story, but this one was passed down by my ancestors. To prevent others from thinking about it, it has never been leaked for many years."
Zhao Tong said: "It was passed down by our ancestors? Who is your surname? You still didn't recruit it from the truth!"
Hearing this, Yang Zhi perked up and straightened his spine. He only had a slight pain in his legs, which he blamed on the leader's good tactics, but he was not afraid of him if he took off the ropes and fought.
"My lord, please listen to what I'm saying. I'm a descendant of the Volcano King, a descendant of the Fifth Marquis Ling Gong, and a direct descendant of the Grand Marshal of the Three Passes. My surname is Yang Mingzhi."
Yang Zhi? Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes slightly. Wasn't this the most unlucky person in the Water Margin and ran away after losing Hua Shi Gang? Why are you in Tokyo now?
"You guys, you dare to say that after your own Volcano King Yang Gun, you have the descendants of Mr. Yang Laoling. Do you have any evidence?" Zhao Tong shouted.
Yang Zhidao: "I asked the prince to tell me that there is an old house in Daizhou City, and there are clansmen in Linzhou's hometown, and the genealogy is kept in the hall. I don't dare to take this matter lightly."
Zhao Tong said: "Which lineage of Yang Jing's descendants are you from?"
Yang Zhidao: "My grandfather is Dezheng Gong."
Zhao Tong thought for a while: "It's not Yang Chuanyong who made the big mistake, but Yang Dezheng?"
Yang Zhi lowered his head: "Exactly, that's why a villain can come from a martial arts background and enter the Palace Department as a one-term envoy."
Zhao Tong said: "You are from the front office of the palace. What are you doing here in front of my palace?"
Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "The sword passed down from our family is just for the prince to atone for his sins!"
Zhao Tong said: "What kind of merit will I have and what kind of sin will I atone for?"
Yang Zhi waited for the opportunity in front of him, and hurriedly told the story about how the boat capsized in the Yellow River when he was escorting Hua Shi Gang, but then he changed the story, saying that he was returning to Beijing to plead guilty, but when he saw the Liao people throwing a challenge, he Thinking of atonement for his sins, he came straight to offer his sword.
Zhao Tong knew his score, looked at him and said, "I don't even know how to give gifts. Who gave you such a bad idea?"
At this moment, Yang Zhi felt that the tone of the two kings had softened a bit, so he relaxed in his heart: "I met an old disciple by chance, whose surname is Shi Mingjin. Seeing that I was in embarrassment, and wanting to make meritorious deeds, I thought hard about the matter, and now I have something in front of me."
He added: "Yang Zhi has acquired literary and martial arts since elementary school. He will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in a challenge, kill the Liao dogs, and enhance the prestige of the Song Dynasty."
Hearing his bragging, Zhao Tong sneered: "You have ruined the whole family and insulted the family tradition. Think about how majestic the Yang family in the northwest was back then, and how great the generals of the Tianbo Yang family were. How could I have expected a waste like you? It's not a big deal, it's a small matter." Well, you don’t even know how to give gifts and flatter people, but you still want to be embarrassed on stage?”
When Yang Zhi heard this, his face turned red with shame, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but there were people everywhere at the moment, and even if they hid their heads, they were just looking at the head and not the tail.
He could only say calmly: "Your Majesty, Yang Zhi's ambition in this life is only to serve the country with all his loyalty."
Zhao Tong said: "Isn't it just to be an official?"
Yang Zhi was shocked when he heard this: "My lord, I will kill you for shame."
Zhao Tong ignored his words and only asked: "Is Shi Jin outside?"
Yang Zhi felt suspicious in his heart and said: "The Shi family master is just a disciple of an old friend, he is indeed... outside."
Zhao Tong said: "What old friend? Isn't it Wang Jin?"
When Yang Zhi heard this, he immediately felt that his brain was starting to run out. Looking at the two kings in front of him, his heart became more and more awe-inspiring.
Zhao Tong said: "Go and call Shi Jin in."
After a while, Shi Jin walked into the hall. Even though Jiuwenlong boasted that he was not afraid of anything, he was cautious when entering such a big government office in the world.
Glancing at Yang Zhi who was kneeling on the ground, Shi Jin did not dare to lack etiquette, and then said: "Shi Jin, a common man, pays homage to the prince."
When everyone looked at this Dalang of the Shi family, they saw that he was an imposing man with a majestic appearance. Zhao Tong looked at him for a moment and felt funny in his heart. This Shi Jin was obviously good at fists and kicks, but he liked to make suggestions. Others would win by making suggestions, and Shi Dalang used them. The plan is fatal.
The most cruel thing is that when he attacked Dongping Mansion, he used a trick on himself, but he was caught and almost lost his life.
Zhao Tong thought for a while and found that there are only three principles for gaining loyal people. The first is reputation, the second is kindness, and the third is relationship.
As for the great righteousness, Chen Qiao's position was unfair. Even if he directly rebelled and raised troops to destroy the Later Zhou Dynasty, it would be better than this. Therefore, he used the famous saying of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats as a cover-up. The scholar-bureaucrats naturally take the great righteousness into consideration. The people have no money to eat, and they rebel every year to seize the mountain and become the king. They don't care about any righteousness.
Zhao Tong said: "Shi Jin, do you know Lu Da?"
Shi Jin was stunned when he heard this and said: "Of course I know it. How does the prince know about my brother?"
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Then you can't be wrong. Ruda is now under my sect. I wrote to Lao Zhong a few days ago, asking him to return to the Western Army to do some work. He often mentions Da Lang. , superb in speaking, fisting and kicking, and proficient in martial arts.”
When Shi Jin heard the words, he still didn't understand anything. He suddenly felt a surge of enthusiasm in his heart and hurriedly prostrated again: "Shi Jin is willing to serve the prince, even if I die."
Zhao Tong nodded and said: "Da Lang, get up and follow me first."
Yang Zhi was kneeling on the ground beside him, feeling very envious. He didn't expect that Shi Jin had such a close relationship. If he had known earlier, why would he have done such a dangerous thing of sacrificing a knife.
Zhao Tong glanced at him and said, "You have a good mind but a weak hand. You can't accomplish anything. If I hadn't respected you as a martyr of the Yang family, you would have been punished. Someone will temporarily untie this guy and let him try to prove his guilt."
After Yang Zhi was freed, he paid homage again. For a moment, he felt sad and happy, and realized that the situation in life was not easy.
At this moment, Xu Ning walked in quickly and said politely: "Your Majesty, there is a fight outside."
Zhao Tong said: "Who is so presumptuous? Why don't you stop him from questioning him?"
Xu Ning said: "Your Majesty, two women came to sign up for a fight, but they fought over who should be named first, but they were not in front of the mansion, but on the street across the street. Now the fight was so lively that even the soldiers couldn't get in." forward."
