Song Gexing

Chapter 55: Really fighting for a beauty (additional update, thank you readers, my name is Oou)

Ouyang Xiu left, he wanted to be quiet, of course Fan Zhongyan would not ask him who Jing was, today's words shocked him so much that he couldn't face himself.

This was a collapse of his outlook on life, which could only be recovered after rebuilding, but he understood that Fan Zhongyan was right. The dispute between civil and military officials was, to put it bluntly, the selfishness of civil servants.

Talking about military ministers causing chaos in the country is just a reason to convince others, but cannot convince yourself.

Ouyang Xiu, who is already famous all over the world and has the embryonic form of a Confucian master, can't know that civil servants are everywhere in the country.

Just one Li Linfu can suppress An Lushan and Shi Siming from raising their heads, but is he a military minister? No, he is a civil servant and a prime minister.

And it was he who made Datang fall into the abyss. Without him, the Anshi Rebellion would have been impossible. It was he who eliminated all the generals who could suppress Anlu Mountain, and gave the fat man a chance to rebel.

The most famous ones are He Shikai, the favorite minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He caused chaos in the country and even persuaded the emperor to talk about Shang, Tang, Zhou and Jie. In the end, the wise emperor and the ignorant emperor are just a handful of loess. What's the difference?

This should be an example of a treacherous civil servant in history. I can't think of any words to describe him other than shameless.

It's natural to confuse right and wrong. This is the greatest evil of human nature, because such people don't even have the bottom line of being a human being.

Don't think that he is from Xianbei. He is a Hanized Xianbei. He has been reading sages since his grandfather and considers himself a descendant of Confucianism.

If you don’t believe me, just look at those Manchu Confucians in later generations. You dare to say that they don’t know etiquette, justice and integrity, and they dare to fight you. They still say that they are disciples of Confucianism and respect gentlemen.

"Your Majesty is so awesome! Sister, what do you think?"

Taking a peek at Zhao Fang who was reading seriously, Song Yinzhang whispered to Zhao Pan'er with a blushing face, his eyes filled with little stars.

Zhao Pan'er smiled slightly, pinched her tender face and said, "The king is very powerful. We already like the king, right?"

"No way? Sister Pan'er is just talking nonsense."

The shy little girl tried her best to deny it, but she couldn't hide her expression, which made Zhao Pan'er giggle.

The laughter woke up Zhao Fang who was reading. He looked up at them and asked curiously: "Sister Pan'er, Yin Zhang, why are you laughing?"

Zhao Pan'er replied calmly and generously: "Sister Yinzhang said that when she was learning to walk on poles, she twisted her body like she was dancing. I thought the image was funny."

As soon as Zhao Fang heard this, he immediately became energetic. He waved to Song Yinzhang and said softly: "Yinzhang feels that his body is twisting so much. It means that the movement is deviated. The lower body is not stable enough and it twists. In the future, pay more attention to training the strength of the lower limbs. This problem It can be changed.”

With his earnest instruction, Song Yinzhang lowered his head and nodded repeatedly. Zhao Pan'er suppressed a smile and quickly turned around to pretend to make tea.

Liu Jisun and Yan Jidao, who were accompanying him, looked at each other and lamented that their highness was so easy to deceive. How could such a smart person turn into a fool when Zhao Paner arrived.

"By the way, Sister Pan'er, I heard from Yingzhi yesterday that there was a group of orchids at the Ao Shen Temple in the old Fengqiu Gate yesterday. They sang and danced very well. Do you want to learn their dance?"

Zhao Pan'er was refreshed and immediately raised her head and said, "Really! But how can they enter the palace?"

Zhao Fang smiled and said: "As long as you want to learn, there will be a way."

"That's good! I heard that the barbarians who worship the Yi God are also good at pipa."

Halfway through her words, Zhao Fang still didn't know that she was speaking for Song Yinzhang. He laughed and said, "I see, there are musicians, right?"

Song Yinzhang immediately beamed. There are certainly masters of playing the pipa in Tokyo, but the pipa is a foreign instrument after all. The playing methods of the foreigners in the Western Regions are unique, and all masters hope to master it.The Overland Silk Road was indeed blocked in the Song Dynasty, but many Hu people still traveled across mountains and rivers. In addition to the Hu people left over from the Tang Dynasty and unwilling to go back, there were still a lot of Hu people in several big cities.

Of course, Hu people are a general term. Even Khitan and Dangxiang were called Hu people by Song people, but only the Hu people from the Western Regions worshiped the Coat God.

The Ao Shen Sect was also known as the Zoroastrian Cult, and later the Ming Sect. Later, it was abolished by the imperial court and became the Demon Sect. However, at this time, the Ao Shen Sect was an officially recognized religion.

Zoroastrianism, which believes in the Great Buddha of Light, is not only the state religion of the Persians, but also the most widely believed religion in Central Asia, South Asia and even Xinjiang.

Before the Persian Empire weakened, there was no Islam in Xinjiang, only Zoroastrianism and Buddhism. Even North India had many Zoroastrian believers.

In Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two officially approved Ao Shen shrines, which were Zoroastrian temples. The structure was similar to that of Buddhist temples.

One is near the old Fengqiu Gate, the other is outside Youye Gate near Yushitai, and there are several more outside Bianjing City, including one in Xiangfu County under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Just take this one near the old Fengqiu Gate, which was built close to the military camp. The Xiban Zhiyamen of the Forbidden Army is right here, and Zhe Jizu worked here.

Zhao Fang was so happy to see his little cutie Zhao Pan'er that he went to Queen Cao's place that afternoon.

"My dearest lady, my son has been crowned king for almost three years, why haven't you opened a government office for me yet?"

She stared with her big clear eyes, looking so careless, which made Empress Cao very angry.

"Pretend! Keep pretending! Give my old lady me some ecstasy soup."

How could Empress Cao not know that her precious son was not a little white rabbit, but that he wanted to cause trouble and pretended to be innocent.

Zhao Fang immediately called out to Chong Tianqu: "Mother knows how to make false accusations. Who can pretend? My son just doesn't understand and only asks."

"I don't understand, haha!"

Empress Cao sneered, poking his forehead with her hand and scolding: "For a month, you have aroused the ambitions of the scholars. Although it is a good thing for the New Deal, your father and the courtiers are too busy, so it is better for you to hide. If you don't care about me in the palace, what evil do you want to hold back today?"

After speaking, he changed his tone and warned earnestly: "Everything is too much, and the New Deal must be implemented, but we must take it one step at a time. Only when this matter goes well can we take the next step."

"Mom, this is a misunderstanding."

When Zhao Fang heard this, he still didn't understand. Empress Cao thought that he was anxious to reform other projects, so she wanted to open a government office and have her own power.

Thinking of this, he laughed and said: "My eldest wife, I have thought wrong. My son doesn't care about the current new policy. The princes outside are working together now, so why do we need my son to join in the fun?"

"Then what do you want?"

Empress Cao was curious now. He didn't look like he was lying, and since he was raised by herself, she believed he wouldn't lie to her.

"Hey," he hadn't giggled for a long time. After doing it again today, Zhao Fang blinked and said, "Mom, think about it, my son will be ten years old soon. Men are not allowed to hang out in the palace until they are seven years old. Besides, my son has two accompanying students. They are all outsiders, let alone in the palace, so it is naturally more convenient to move out."

"Don't even think about it!"

Empress Cao opened her mouth to refuse, but she froze after refusing. Her son's words were correct, and so were the rules of the royal family. There was no reason to keep the prince in the palace.
