At the time of Hai, people are determined.
The night is dark, the stars and the moon are bright.
At this time, in the Forbidden Palace of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhezong Zhao Xu walked out of the ruling palace after finishing handling government affairs.
The evening breeze was blowing, but the young Zhao Xu looked a little melancholy.
Since the death of Shenzong in the eighth year of Yuanfeng and the ten-year-old Zhao Xu's accession to the throne, Empress Dowager Gao has been revered as the Empress Dowager. She is responsible for handling the affairs of the court, and all military and state affairs in the court are handled by Empress Dowager Gao and several ministers.
Now six years have passed and Zhao Xu is sixteen years old. Empress Dowager Gao should have returned to power, but she is still actively listening to politics. The ministers also informed the Queen Mother in advance, and they would listen to the Queen Mother's words when there was an edict, and they did not advise the Queen Mother to withdraw the curtain.
The memorial that Zhao Xu had finished processing actually had to be sent to the Queen Mother's palace.
In this way, he actually had resentment in his heart. However, during the six years since Empress Dowager Gao came to the throne, all the ministers in the court obeyed the Queen Mother. Even if he had resentment in his heart, there was nothing he could do.
With a helpless sigh, the old eunuch who was waiting on the left and right saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly: "Officials, please pay attention to the dragon's body. Do you want to inform the dining room to prepare food?"
Zhao Xu glanced at him angrily and said coldly: "I'm only sixteen years old, do you think I'm old?"
When the old eunuch heard this, he immediately knelt down and apologized: "I don't dare, old slave."
Zhao Xu saw the person in front of him and sighed again: "Since Renzu, you have served Grandpa Huang and my father, and now you have served me for six years... Get up!"
The old eunuch thanked him and stood up slowly.
Zhao Xu suddenly said: "I remember you told me the story of Guan Juehou when I was a child. Tell me about it today too."
The old eunuch murmured: "Is it the crown prince?"
Zhao Xu said: "I heard that that person has no emperor, but Renzu regarded him as a great sage."
There was a smile on the corner of the old eunuch's mouth, and he said: "Actually, the Marquis is not only arrogant, but also has no respect for heaven and earth in his heart. When Renzu first met the Marquis, he was demoted to the point where he had no face. .”
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh: "Is there such a thing?"
The old eunuch replied: "If the officials are willing to listen, the old slave can tell you interesting stories from the past."
Zhao Xu smiled and scolded: "You are so brave, a dog slave, you dare to talk about Injo's embarrassing things."
There was no fear on the old eunuch's face, and he whispered: "These things were often mentioned in Injo's later years, and all the ministers in the court knew about them."
Zhao Xu said quietly: "It seems that Renzu really values that person very much!"
The old eunuch said: "Master Hou is indeed the reincarnation of an immortal, but it's a pity..."
Zhao Xu asked: "What's the pity?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch appeared in front of Zhao Xu from behind, and the eighteen guards with swords around him pulled out their swords one after another!
This move shocked Zhao Xu, and just when he was about to yell out loud, he suddenly saw a vague figure in the distance.
The old eunuch said sternly: "Who dares to break into the forbidden palace?!"
The figure was far away, and under the moon he could only see the figure dressed in white, but his face could not be clearly seen.
But the man walked over casually. He didn't realize how fast he was, but before the guards could take action, when no one responded, the figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone from dozens of feet away.
Zhao Xu, who was still curious at first, changed his expression drastically. After being stunned for a short time, the eighteen guards with swords all swung their swords one after another.
But as soon as they moved, the man in white flicked his sleeves, and all eighteen of them stopped and froze.
Randomly said: "Originally, I wanted to come to the palace to check out the books... Did you just talk about Guan Juehou?"
The old eunuch's acupoints were not touched, but he never spoke. At this moment, he was trembling and said in a trembling voice: "You...are you the Marquis?"
Zhao Xu was even more shocked, looking at the face of the person in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
He glanced at the two of them randomly and suddenly said: "I have something to ask you."
The old eunuch nodded, then turned around and said, "Official, can I let this slave have a word with the Marquis?"
Renzu has a legacy, Guan Juehou is not subject to the emperor's orders, cannot perform the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, and more...
Zhao Xu didn't have time to think about it anymore. He nodded and said, "Can I listen?"
Ranyi smiled and said: "I'm just asking about some things from the past. You can listen to me if you like."
Zhao Xu asked blankly: "You...are you really that person?"
Ranran didn't answer him, looked at the old eunuch and asked directly what happened fifty years ago.
The old eunuch seemed to have been prepared for it, and he answered all the questions he asked. However, Zhao Xu did not speak, and just listened to the conversation between the two quietly, but the more he listened, the more horrified he looked.
After Xuanyuan knew the answer he wanted, he suddenly smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I have done such a thing."
Zhao Xu saw the gap and said: "Guan Jue disappeared and reappeared in the world fifty years later. I will be there tomorrow..."
Randomly interrupted: "I have no interest in intervening in the affairs of the court, and I don't want to have any more entanglements with your Zhao family. That's it, it's time for me to leave."
He left as soon as he said so, and when he turned around, he had disappeared under the moon.
Zhao Xu had an angry look on his face, and the old eunuch said quickly: "Guardians, please calm down. Officials, please don't get angry."
How could he not be angry? He was the emperor, how had he ever been spoken to in such a tone?
Zhao Xu shouted angrily: "Is this the crown prince of that year?"
The old eunuch smiled bitterly and nodded.
Zhao Xu shouted sharply: "He was like this in the past?"
The old eunuch still nodded.
Zhao Xu looked surprised, and suddenly his face softened and he said, "Inzu actually tolerated him back then?"
The old eunuch nodded.
Zhao Xu sighed and said: "That's all, that's all! Since he has appeared in the world, I will be able to see him sooner or later."
After leaving at will, he really didn't expect that he would be related to Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, and he didn't expect that he would be awarded a marquis.
…
At dawn, I returned to Wuxi any time.
He originally planned to go directly north to Shaolin, but after meeting Xiao Yuanshan, it seemed that he still had to make it clear to Qiao Feng about Xingzilin.
Back at the inn, Zhong Ling knew nothing about what happened last night. The little girl thought her brother Ren had never left the inn.
After the two of them came out of the inn, they wandered around the city, focusing on the fourth level of the 'Huntian Jue' he created...
He already has an idea in his mind about how to practice next, but from an arbitrary point of view, it is still not perfect enough. Extreme movement and extreme stillness, extreme yin and extreme yang, it is not easy to combine movement and stillness, yin and yang into one.
Extremely sinister!
It moves like a rushing stream, and is flexible and changeable.
Extreme Yang belongs to tranquility!
It is as quiet as Mount Tai, and nothing can shake it.
If you want to separate yin and yang, it is not difficult, but if you want to combine the two, one is moving and the other is still, letting go of the sky, blending into nature... even if it is arbitrary, it feels a bit tricky.
Naturally, all this has nothing to do with the little girl behind him. Diaoer has already woken up. During this time, Zhong Ling did not notice the daily changes of Lightning Diaoer.
Just when she wanted to take a good look at Diao'er, she saw two figures rushing towards the city gate.
A person takes long strides and rushes along the road, going faster and faster; a person stumbles, seemingly stumbling, and almost falling, but he can keep up with it.
