The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 211
Ergou himself refused to copy poems to become famous. The purpose of copying poems was to attract...that is, to connect with Mrs. Li.

Besides, Ergou's name is not very serious, even if it is publicized, it will only make people laugh.

Therefore, in the face of other people's kindness, Ergou could only accept it, but he entrusted Li Qingzhao to Cao Xiangu Nunnery and ran away.

What Ergou didn't know was that when Li Qingzhao joined the women gathering in the nunnery, he also brought the song "Huanxi Sand" with him. Everyone was surprised that Ergou, a young man from the country, actually had some poetic talent. .

Wei Cao Xiangu herself was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. She was envious and jealous that Li Qingzhao had Ergou and her write such good poems. She hated that bastard for eating the food in the bowl and looking at the food in the pot. She had sacrificed so much of her body. , I couldn't even say a word to him as a gift, but I was still being teased by him. It was really annoying.

After leaving Cao Xiangu Nunnery, Ergou went to Master Pang's house, preparing to meet the Taoist guardian sent by Si Tiantai.

Out of the protection of Ergou, Si Tiantai did not mobilize their manpower together when they mobilized them. After all, the masters of [Si Tian Daoting] were not idle.

If direct large-scale mobilization is required, firstly, it will be easy to cause trouble, and secondly, it will be easy to alert the enemy and attract the attention of the evil villains.

When Ergou arrived at Pang's house, the corpses and blood stains at the entrance of the house had long been cleared away. Only the broken bluestones and the bloody smell remaining in the air still showed the massacre that had occurred here.

The first meeting between Ergou and Taoist Shouzhen, the quasi-patrolling heavenly master, was quite friendly, but they had different impressions of each other.

Ergou: What a murderous Taoist!
Taoist Shouzhen: That’s it?This is the Lord I will serve in the future. Is this too ordinary? !

Ergou looked at this Taoist, wearing a black Taoist robe with long sleeves, a jade ring tied around his waist, a cast-iron crown on his head, a long four-edged mace on his back, and a bamboo-jointed copper whip hanging on his waist. His face in life was like copper. He has a square face and a wide mouth, and his eyes are like beads. When opening and closing, the light shines spontaneously, just like the fierce demon-conquering Lord in the sky.

However, the Taoist saw that Ergou had a small body, a tender face, and a frivolous temperament. He was wearing a plain brocade dress and had the appearance of a rich playboy. It was really hard to believe that there was anything special about him.

With spiritual energy around him, Ergou could sense the contempt in people's hearts, but he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and said with a smile, "I'm in Xiangzhou, Chen Ergou, and I've met the Taoist priest."

However, Taoist Shouzhen made an expressionless expression and replied coldly: "Li Chengqing from a certain family in Sui County (belonging to Kaifeng Prefecture) met Mr. Chen Xiaolang."

Ergou said with a smile: "It turns out that it was Daoist Master Li who was in person, but I don't know if Daoist Master Li came here. Did Taoist Master Shi have any instructions?"

The Taoist shook his head with a cold face and said: "Uncle Cuixuan only ordered a certain family to come here and wait for orders. There was no special order."

Ergou said: "In that case, the Taoist priest can protect this house and the owner inside! When I came in, I smelled a smell of blood at the door. Could it be that someone had just died in front of the door?"

The Taoist did not comment on Ergou's instructions, but said contemptuously: "I'm afraid I smelled it wrong! There is no smell of death. I just killed some mosquitoes."

Ergou just smiled and said, "Since the Taoist Master said that, maybe I heard it wrong! Does the Taoist Master have anything to tell me?"

The Taoist shook his head and said: "But it never happened!"

Ergou sighed and said, "I'll go now! The Taoist priest can take care of himself."

After that, the two dogs walked out of the gate of the house and headed towards Xiangfu County.

Taoist Shouzhen looked at Ergou's retreating back and sighed with a complicated expression.Unless he was deliberately scorning Ergou, if Ergou was older, he would not hide things like this. Ergou is obviously still a child who has never grown up. No matter how capable he is, he cannot bear the burden of adulthood. human world.

After watching the two dogs go away, the man returned to a corner of the house, where He Chun, the military inspector of Kaifeng Prefecture, was waiting uneasily.

When He Chun saw the Taoist Shouzhen, he immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Grandpa Taoist, I'm a villain..."

Taoist Shouzhen said in a deep voice: "He Chun! According to the right principles, a certain family should have whipped you to death. But you have some sense and a cautious tone. I guess you are not someone who talks nonsense. A certain family will spare you." This time.

When He Chun heard this, he immediately kowtowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, grandpa, for your generosity! Thank you for your generosity, grandpa! If I have to go back, I will never dare or forget the kindness of grandpa Dao!"

Taoist Shouzhen warned again: "After you go back, remember not to talk nonsense with others! If you let out a little word, don't say it's just you, even the lives of your whole family will not be saved!"

He Chun nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes! The villain will not dare to reveal anything! The villain has never encountered anything today!"

The Taoist priest warned He Chun a few more words and then let him go.

But it was said that He Chun left Pangzhai and meandered all the way to Nanya. On the way, he had been thinking about how to cover up the death and disappearance of his Yamen servants, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment. After all, seven or eight living people suddenly disappeared. No matter how he looked for it, Even the excuses are a bit untenable.

But when He Chun entered the Yamen, he discovered that his worries were just trivial matters, and something truly fatal had happened in the South Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture.

As a part-time official in Kaifeng Prefecture, Wen Yi, the chief minister of Dazong Temple, died suddenly in the official office of Nanya in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Then the news that made He Chun even more horrified came. The carriage of the newly appointed minister Zhao Tingzhi frightened the horse on the imperial street. As a result, the carriage was dragged by the frightened horse and ran all the way, and finally plunged into the Bianhe River. During the accident, Zhao Shilang, who was in the car, unfortunately fell into the water and died.

Three days later, He Chun received another news that made him panic. Zhao Tingzhi's eldest son, who had just drowned in the Bianhe River, Fengqiu County Lieutenant Zhao Cuncheng was investigating the case on Jishui River. Unfortunately, the boat capsized and fell into the water. He and only a few followers drowned, following in the footsteps of his brothers.

Anyone with a brain can almost see that there is something wrong with what happened to Zhao Tingzhi's family. Who can be so safe when things happen to them? Coupled with the sudden death of Wen Yi, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, everyone is worried. I understand there's something going on here.

However, no one stood up and spoke. Everyone was waiting for the reaction of Zhao Tingzhi's third son, Zhao Mingcheng, or waiting for him to have an accident, and then they would take the lead again.

It's a pity that no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhao Mingcheng could not wait for Zhao Mingcheng's complaint or death. Zhao Mingcheng disappeared.

No one knows where Zhao Mingcheng went.

When Zhao Mingcheng first came to the capital, he didn't have any real close friends. Only some people from Prince Duan's Mansion had some connections with him.

Zhao Tingzhi did have several political allies, and they were involved in Wen Yi's sudden death. There were indeed several officials who wanted to interrogate Zhao Tingzhi and Wen Yizhi's unexpected death.

However, he was helpless at this time, because no one had the mind to deal with this matter now. The civil and military officials of the court were more concerned about another matter that was countless times more important - Emperor Zhezong was coughing up blood in the hall.

It is not news that Emperor Zhezong coughed up blood, but it was the first time that he coughed up blood in public in the main hall.

The emperor personally went on strike, but all the officials in the court were worried. In order to stabilize the situation, Zhang Dun and others had to suppress the sudden and suspicious deaths of Wen Yi, Zhao Tingzhi and others.It was also from this day that Zhang Dun truly began his unique path to super power.

Of course, these past few days have been very rough days for Ergou.He went to Li's house almost every day to wait. When Li Gefei and Li Qingzhao's stepmother went out, he picked up Li Qingzhao who had secretly climbed over the wall. The two of them wandered around Bianliang City, enjoying a wonderful and happy life. .

Visiting gardens, boating, visiting temples, gatherings, eating delicious food and drinking fine wine, they left their footprints everywhere in Bianliang's beautiful places.

Ergou even showed up at the Xiyuan Gathering.

It seems that Li Qingzhao was a frequent visitor to the Xiyuan Gathering. Despite her young age, she already had a good reputation. However, although the poems she had written before were quite impressive, they did not cause a sensation in the world.

At least compared to Li Qingzhao's achievements in the future, her current works can only be considered acceptable. After all, Li Qingzhao's first work that shocked the world had to wait until she was 16 years old, "Like Meng Ling·Last Night's Rain". Wind Sudden].

Li Qingzhao and Er Gou went to the Xiyuan Gathering, but it was Er Gou who copied "Huanxisha·Half the Setting Sun Down the Small Building", which has been circulated in the literary circles of the capital in the past few days.

Because Ergou did not want to be famous, but did not report outside Caoxiangu Nunnery that day, few people knew who the "author" of the poem was, but everyone knew who the poem was written for.

That's right!However, when the good person spread this poem, he specifically explained that this poem "Huanxisha" was a love poem written by a young man to the talented girl Li Qingzhao.

Of course, Ergou would never admit that he had misled some people.

The beautiful words copied by Ergou inspired Li Qingzhao's enthusiasm for creation. She thought about it for several days and finally composed a song called "Huanxisha" with the message Ergou read it to himself.

This treatment made Ergou overjoyed. Isn't this just a love letter exchanged between the two!

Ergou's long march of thousands of miles has finally taken a crucial step.

Of course, in exchange for Ergou accepting Heci, he had to compose another poem for Mrs. Li that was above the standard.

Although Ergou agreed, he seemed to be delaying.

Perhaps sensing Ergou's laziness, Li Qingzhao took Ergou to the Xiyuan Gathering and asked him to write lyrics in public.

The two dogs couldn't beat it, but they copied the song "Huanxi Sand" on the spot, which made everyone present marvel and laugh knowingly.

Ergou copied none other than Nalan's lyrics. As the saying goes, you can't just pick out a sheep when gathering wool, but Ergou copied Nalan's lyrics. Who called his lyrics? The wind is blowing recently, Miss Li!

Which song did Ergou copy?but it is:
If I want to ask how thin Jiang Mei is, I just look at the sad green skirt.The musk deer camp quilt is cold and cherishes the lingering smoke.

Can endure the cold and long lean on bamboo, so I teach Chunhao not to open the door.Loquat flower bottom school scholar.

When Li Qingzhao heard those words, even though his face was filled with embarrassment, he was reluctant to write the beautiful words. He only took a piece of paper and pen to write it down, then gave Ergou a fierce look, but then hid his face in the laughter of the crowd and left.

I'm afraid you don't know why Li Qingzhao reacted like this. Originally, this poem was written by the original author to miss his lover Shen Wan. However, when this poem came out of Ergou's mouth and reached Qingzhao's ears, it was... It is a rare feeling of longing, but full of irony.

The problem lies in the song "Huanxisha" that Li Qingzhao just sang with Ergou. Li Qingzhao's talent is naturally extremely high, but she spent many days thinking hard about "Huanxisha·Half the Setting Sun Down the Small Building" with Ergou. Some sentences have been carved out, but although the words are neatly chosen, they lack craftsmanship and are not as natural as poems that are inspired by emotion.

To put it bluntly, it was a bit unworthy of the previous work copied by Ergou. This made Li Qingzhao, who was extremely competitive, quite unwilling, so he sent Ergou alone and told him not to spread it.

Only this song "I want to ask how thin Jiang Mei is", at first glance, it seems to describe the scene where Li Qingzhao meditated hard in order to write harmony, and only made herself thin and cold. It is an irony that she only devoted her energy. , but the writing is not satisfactory.

Of course, this is just Li Qingzhao's own interpretation, which is slightly more self-respecting, but others have another interpretation.

Li Qingzhao's friend Chao Buzhi, who had been friends for many years, was at the table. Seeing that Er Gou was such a "talented person", he wanted to get acquainted with him. He was about to go up to talk to Er Gou, but Er Gou raised his hands and laughed with everyone: " Elders, I have to protect Madam Li, but I don’t dare to stay here! I’m sorry!”

After saying that, the two dogs quickly chased Li Qingzhao, leaving only a group of gathering people who were full of poetry, looking at each other and unable to control themselves.

The first half of this day's Xiyuan gathering was considered the most successful one in recent years, because the song "Huanxisha: How thin is Jiang Mei" came out, but the second half of the gathering was due to the departure of the two parties. But it seemed a bit eclipsed.

Because almost no one in the West Garden had the intention to compose poems, they only smacked the two poems copied by Ergou, and at the same time gossiped about the romance between two young people with seemingly similar talents. Son.

Among them, the one who was most restless was Chao Buzhi.

Chao Buzhi was not only Li Qingzhao's old friend, but also the classmate and senior classmate of Li Qingzhao's father, Li Gefei. He was one of the top four serious bachelors in the Su family.

This time, Li Qingzhao, the junior whom Chao Buzhi loved so much, had a perfectly matched partner. Chao Buzhi, the elder, was naturally very excited.

It should be said that all the elders who were close to Li Qingzhao had an inexplicable doting and worry about this child.

If a woman is too talented, it is often a misfortune for her.Looking at the talented women in history, including Xie Daoyun, Yu Xuanji, Shangguan Wan'er, etc., none of them had a fate that was not harmed by their talent.

They were all worried that Li Qingzhao would follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Talented women like Li Qingzhao and others, if they want to truly have a happy life, they have people to imitate.

That is Huang Yueying, a talented woman from the Three Kingdoms period, marrying a husband with a higher talent.

Huang Yueying has Zhuge Wolong as her partner, but who can Li Qingzhao find?
It’s not that there aren’t men in the world who are talented enough to match Li Qingzhao, like Da Su in the front, and Lu Fangweng and Xin Qiji in the back, but his age and status are not suitable!

At this time, Ergou came out with two songs "Huanxisha" and became intimate with Li Qingzhao. Chao Buzhi saw it and was happy in his heart.

After the Xiyuan elegant gathering was over, Chao Buzhi immediately picked up two jars of daughter's red and rushed towards the Li family's house impatiently.
