Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 71 Tryst with Mr. Li

Concubine Wei Xian looked at Concubine Qiao in confusion and asked: "Sister, do you think our Song Dynasty and that Jin State can defeat the Liao State?"

Concubine Qiao was naturally ignorant of this.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Whether we win the fight or not, that's all secondary. Let's not talk about it for the moment. I just want to say that our Song Dynasty should not help the evildoers."

Zhao Gou sat at the dining table and pondered for a while, then walked quickly to Concubine Qiao in the hall, and asked respectfully, "Concubine Qiao, I..."

Concubine Qiao interrupted Zhao Gou and said, "There are no other people around. This is your own residence. Just call me aunt."

Zhao Gou saw her crossing her legs and sitting upright by the bed.

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "Auntie, I think this matter is very inappropriate. Your Majesty should be allowed to think more about it. What do you think?"

Concubine Qiao couldn't help curling her lips, and said with a hiss, "The Queen Mother and the Queen have no objections to this. We are just mere mortals. What are we doing telling His Majesty this? We are not asking for trouble."

Concubine Qiao has not been to Concubine Wei Xian's palace for two months now, so she naturally wants to stay longer.

Let's say that after Song Huizong left Concubine Wei Xian, he immediately returned to the palace.

Putting on the green hat, he planned to go to the Canghua Pavilion, the big brothel in Bianliang City, under the cover of night.

To put it bluntly, in the past month, Song Huizong, apart from reading Earl Ying's novel manuscripts every day, had been indulging in the warm fragrance of Li Shishi.

During Huizong's reign, the number of maids in the harem could reach nearly ten thousand, and there were also many concubines.

But even so, Song Huizong still felt that it was not fun enough and wanted to play something different.

One day, the traitor Gao Qiu suddenly came up with a clever plan to please Song Huizong, and planned to recommend Li Shishi, a famous prostitute in Bianliang whom he recognized, to him.

Gao Qiu added insult to injury and described Master Li as if she were a fairy descending from heaven. He also said that Master Li was famous for her beauty and that countless dignitaries in Bianliang City had patronized her.

In this way, Song Huizong naturally wanted to see Master Li with his own eyes.

When Song Huizong met Li Shishi, Li Shishi saw that Gao Qiugui was a Taiwei, and he still showed such respect to this strange customer.

It is conceivable that the identity of this strange customer is definitely extraordinary.

She immediately tried her best to please Song Huizong.

Unexpectedly, Master Li was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Song Huizong always regarded himself as an artist.

As soon as the two were together, sparks continued to fly.

To put it more emotionally, this is Boya and Ziqi.

Since then, Song Huizong has been obsessed with this lively Master Li.

But, the emperor visited a brothel!
This matter is extremely disgraceful no matter what.

Song Huizong wanted to have trysts with Li Shishi from time to time, but because the etiquette and laws were laid out here, it was really inconvenient to go all the time.

Having almost the same status as Gao Qiu in the court, another traitor gave Song Huizong an idea.

He said that His Majesty could dig a tunnel directly into the palace and lead directly to Master Li.

By then, Your Majesty will miss this prostitute, so you can go through the tunnel to have a tryst with Master Li without anyone noticing.

Song Huizong was overjoyed for a moment after hearing the method proposed by this treacherous minister.

He quickly ordered people to dig a tunnel several kilometers long under his bed.

And this traitor whose identity and status are comparable to Gao Qiu is Xu San, whom Earl Ying has seen with his own eyes.

Xu San is Grand Master Cai Jingcai.

At this moment, Song Huizong, who had changed into a green robe and a small hat, saw that the sky was dark and the moon was hazy.

He immediately ordered people to remove the large ball of brocade spread at the entrance of the tunnel, bent down and squatted down, stepped on the ladder, and walked slowly all the way down.

Several personal eunuchs accompanied Song Huizong into the tunnel.

In less than half an hour, Song Huizong arrived at Li Shishi's home.

When Song Huizong and Li Shifu met, they immediately embraced each other like a pair of life and death mandarin ducks.

After nearly an hour, Song Huizong sat up with a satisfied look on his face.

Looking at Master Li, he smiled and said, "After this farewell, will you miss me in your hometown?" Master Li snuggled into Song Huizong's arms and said softly: "The official family is the heart and soul of the slave family, how can the slave family not miss me?"

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty asked Li Shishi to play a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" for him. Li Shishi had learned guzheng and pipa since he was a child, and he had some achievements of his own.

During the period when Li Shishi returned to his hometown, Song Huizong read Count Ying's "Aiming for the World" many times.

They all want to hear Master Li play the song "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" for themselves.

He has never been able to achieve his wish. Now that he heard it with his own ears, he was naturally distraught.

Just as he was about to take out Earl Ying's "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sword" from his arms, he found that the pile of novel manuscripts was missing.

At first, he wondered whether it was because his personal eunuch neglected the manuscript of the novel when he was arranging the cap in Tsing Yi, and lost the manuscript of the novel in the bedroom.

But on second thought, most likely not.

After all, when he returned to the bedroom from Concubine Wei Xian, he never saw the manuscript of the novel again.

After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered that when I left Concubine Wei Xian's palace, I had left the novel manuscript with her in a hurry.

Although he currently has the song "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" to listen to, he does not have "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sword" to read.

I am really thirsty and depressed.

In desperation, he mentioned Count Ying's Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber to Master Li.

After listening to this, Master Li raised his hands that were tightly attached to the guzheng.

Looking at him, he asked: "Guanjia, is there such a strange book in the world? Then I should take a closer look at it."

Song Huizong nodded in agreement.

Song Huizong stayed with Li Shishi in Zanghua Pavilion until the third watch, and planned to get up and leave.

Master Li advised him: "Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock at night. Look at this horse, it's so slippery. Your dragon body is in serious trouble!"

"Listen to my words, don't catch the cold on the road. You'd better not leave tonight."

But Song Huizong insisted on leaving, and Li Shishi could not stop him.

Li Shishi thought that Song Huizong had something to do. After all, the Holy Spirit was the king of a country and had many things to deal with every day. There were too many things that needed to be dealt with by him.

But how could she have imagined that the main reason why Song Huizong insisted on leaving was because he wanted to get back the manuscript of the novel "Sword of Heaven and Dragon Blade".

As a die-hard fan of Earl Ying's books, he has now reached the point where not being able to read Earl Ying's novels for a moment feels like a hundred claws scratching his heart, making him feel sore and unbearable.

So, Song Huizong returned to the palace along the tunnel.

He took off his Tsing Yi hat, put on a dragon robe, and immediately took a sedan chair to Concubine Wei Xian's bedroom.

He was anxious to find the manuscript of the novel "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sword" as soon as possible.

He traveled all the way in a sedan chair, and just as he reached the west corridor of the palace, Li Gang, the Minister of the court, came to ask for an audience.

Song Huizong was stunned on the spot and immediately became confused.

Looking at Li Gang who was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face, he asked, "What happened to Li Aiqing? What happened to her?"

Li Gang said sadly: "Your Majesty, you must think twice before joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. This matter must not be done hastily!"

Song Huizong was immediately disappointed, his face changed, and he said impatiently: "I know it well, so I don't bother Li Aiqing to worry about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Huizong's sedan continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Li Gang grabbed Song Huizong's trouser legs tightly and blocked Song Huizong's way forward.

"Your Majesty! You must think twice!"

Seeing Li Gang like this, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Li Aiqing, if you have any questions, please discuss with me tomorrow!"

He thought to himself: Li Gang, Li Gang, you are too loyal and look very stupid. Do you understand?

snort!How dare you disturb me to find the novel manuscript, you are really worthy of death!

Is there anything in the world that is more important than my novel manuscript?
