The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 276 Seal the throat with one sword!
Seeing the reactions of the civil and military officials around him, Song Huizong Zhao Ji also reacted. Obviously, the officials around him didn't know when the sacred bird would wake up.

However, at this time, I am afraid that everyone in the world knows that he, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, has come to Lishan Mountain to pay homage to the divine bird. If, as the emperor, he cannot appear on Lishan Mountain to pay homage to the divine bird, how will the world view him as the emperor?

How can the world recognize the Song Dynasty’s orthodoxy?

I am afraid that the people of the Song Dynasty will become disloyal and no one will truly be loyal to the Song Dynasty!
Song Huizong Zhao Ji didn't know when the divine bird would wake up, and he didn't know if the divine bird would see him, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, after waking up. But one thing he was sure of was that he would never leave so easily!

If he left so easily, he would probably cause ridicule to everyone in the world.

It will make people all over the world doubt the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty, and it will also cause the Xixia, Liao and Jin countries in the north to covet the Song Dynasty!
If this is the case, the Song Dynasty will be truly in danger!
Therefore, at this moment, Song Huizong Zhao Ji felt that he was calmer than ever at this time. He clearly understood his situation at this time and what he should do at this time!

He looked around. In his eyes, the faces of the civil and military officials around him still had doubts, confusions, and dejections, while the eyes of the people watching around him had doubts. Even he saw from the eyes of the people The majesty of the Song Dynasty court was collapsing!

Seeing this, he quickly stood up, and then tidied up his messy imperial clothes, looked around, maintained his majesty as an emperor, and then said:
"A few days ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky and the earth on Lishan Mountain. This indicates that the divine bird has appeared. However, the divine bird should still be sleeping at this time. Naturally, you cannot climb Lishan Mountain!"

Song Huizong Zhao Ji looked around, his tone was majestic, and it seemed particularly clear in the silence.

Then, his tone became serious again and he said:
"At the time of Taizu, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty immediately climbed to the top of Lishan Mountain. However, after that, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty never climbed close again. So today, it should be the test of the divine bird against the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I have no great virtues, but only keep Heart ears!”

Behind him, there were several officials standing, but they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak in the face of the emperor's anger.

After hearing the emperor's words, the surrounding civil and military officials had no objections.

In this way, after they return to Bianjing City, no one can restrict them.

"During the day, the officials' decision was still too hasty!"

After all, in the eyes of these scholar-bureaucrats and loyal ministers, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty at this time was most in line with the wishes of their ministers.

As for most of the officials who followed, they were already on their way back. After all, Song Huizong Zhao Ji himself didn't want more people to know his embarrassment.

Under Lishan Mountain, the soldiers quickly set up camp, built a palace for Emperor Zhao Ji, and then guarded the surroundings again.

Standing at the front is Cai Jing, the current Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.

"Therefore, I am willing to wait for the divine bird to wake up from its sleep and forgive me under Mount Li, and then climb Mount Li again!"

Regarding the emperor's words, the people around him did not express their opinions immediately. Of course, ordinary people may believe the emperor's words, but perhaps only they themselves know what those who have read the book think.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji finally made up for the unexpected incident. After saying that, he breathed a long sigh of relief. As for what he said, he was too concerned about whether the people outside believed it.

"Why can't I enter Lishan Mountain!?"

Therefore, I have no objections to Song Huizong Zhao Ji's decision to stay under Lishan Mountain and wait for the divine bird to awaken.

……

Song Huizong Zhao Ji became more and more angry as he thought about it. He looked down at his cronies in the court, and then asked this question. It was as if the officials he attracted in the court could answer him.

Now, he just wants to disappear in front of the people as soon as possible, and doesn't want the people around him to see any flaws.

In fact, they were very supportive in their hearts and wished the emperor could stay here for a longer time.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was sitting on the throne in the tent, looking at the several officials in the tent with a solemn expression and more of self-doubt.

The emperor ruled from the top of his head, and the scholar-bureaucrats and the gentry jointly governed the world!
In other words, it doesn’t matter whether there is an emperor in the court or not. After all, the world is governed by their scholar-bureaucrats!

At this time, Cai Jing had an old face, wearing a bright red official coat and a black gauze hat. His face was solemn and his appearance was old. Under the dim candlelight, he looked a bit ferocious.

But Cai Jing's face remained unchanged, and he waited quietly for the emperor to vent his anger before speaking:
"Guan Jia, the matter of the divine bird is inherently difficult for mortals to predict. After all, the divine bird is sleeping. Who can be sure when the divine bird will wake up?"

At this time, Cai Jing was not afraid of Song Huizong Zhao Ji's anger. Instead, he took the initiative to point out the emperor's faults.

Sure enough, after hearing Cai Jing's words, Song Huizong Zhao Ji immediately looked at Cai Jing below, with anger in his eyes.

But he didn't have an attack, he just waited quietly for Cai Jing's next words.

"Do the officials know that if the divine bird never appears, will the officials have to stay under Lishan Mountain and wait for the divine bird?"

"At that time, if the officials do not wait, the people of the world will surely know that the sacred bird does not protect the Song Dynasty, and the people of the world will lose their respect for the court and the officials!"

"But if the official family continues to wait, how long will it take? By then, the official family will no longer be in Bianjing, and the center will have no owner. What will happen to the Song Dynasty?"

After hearing Cai Jing's words, the anger on Zhao Ji's face, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, immediately faded away, and then he showed contemplation, and at the same time, there was also a hint of helplessness.

After a moment, he quickly looked down at Cai Jing, walked down a few steps, came to Cai Jing's side, grabbed Cai Jing's arm, and whispered: "Please teach me, Prime Minister!"

Seeing Song Huizong Zhao Ji like this, Cai Jing quickly took a step back, then bowed down and said: "The affairs of the officials are also the affairs of the ministers. The worries of the officials are also the worries of the ministers. I will naturally find a way to solve this matter." ”

"It's just that I haven't thought of a solution yet..."

Cai Jing pondered for a moment, and when Song Huizong Zhao Ji couldn't wait any longer, he spoke again: "But the officials don't have to worry. After all, there is still some time before the divine bird wakes up. According to ancient records, the shortest sleep of the divine bird is just One month, maybe even shorter, but the officials don’t have to worry about it, it’s only for one month. If the divine bird doesn’t appear after one month, I’m afraid the officials will need to make other plans!”

"That's it...it has to be like this..."

After hearing Cai Jing's words, Song Huizong Zhao Ji's anger and anxiety finally receded, but he still sat above him absentmindedly.

Cai Jing and the people behind him looked at each other, and then slowly exited the tent.

Standing outside the camp, Cai Jing couldn't help but stand up straight and cast his gaze into the distance. Under the night, the entire Lishan Mountain seemed particularly dark, but at the foot of the mountain, the villages were brightly lit.

Cai Jing's eyes moved from the dark Lishan Mountain to the brightly lit village. Then he seemed to think of something, and then he couldn't help but whisper:

"There are palace guards on Mount Li, and the palace guards should know the situation of the divine bird..."

After pondering for a moment, Cai Jing did not return to the emperor's camp, but returned to his residence.

...The land of Qilu, in Liangshan City.

Li Qingzhao had already cleaned up the rented courtyard and purchased a series of daily necessities. However, while wandering around the city today, he heard an interesting news.

It was interesting news to her, of course, but shocking news to others.

That is the shocking news that "the divine bird appears".

When Li Qingzhao heard the news, he was just slightly stunned. Then he knew that the divine bird had returned to the Lishan Divine Bird Temple, and he no longer worried about the safety of the divine bird.

But there was also some joy in her heart. After all, she could see the magical bird that the world was looking forward to seeing all the time.

Li Qingzhao could only shake his head slightly when he heard the people talking in the city and those who were about to leave for Lishan.

Because when the divine bird left, he had already told himself that the divine bird would only be away for a month, which meant that it could only be on Mount Li for one month, and during this month, the divine bird would only be on the mountain. Sleeping.

I am afraid that no one will be able to see the divine bird during this period, but when the divine bird wakes up, those who can get to the bottom of Lishan Mountain may be able to see it.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Qingzhao put the purchased items into the kitchen nearby, then fetched a bucket of water from the well nearby and began to wash the vegetables.

After washing them, I picked up the kitchen knife and cut the vegetables. After preparing all the ingredients, I started to make a fire to cook.
At this time, Li Qingzhao was like an ordinary girl. Although she was from an official family, she was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could play in the hall and in the kitchen.

If you add one more thing at the same time, you can go to the battlefield!
While Li Qingzhao was busy, the sky became completely dark. Li Qingzhao took the time to light the candle in the courtyard. The weak firelight illuminated the crabapple tree in the courtyard, casting a large shadow.

The small courtyard is shrouded in lights, but it also has a warm feeling.

But Li Qingzhao was the only one, alone, which added to the loneliness and desolation.

When the divine bird was there, Li Qingzhao could still talk to the divine bird and not feel too lonely. At this time, Li Qingzhao, who was sitting in front of the table in the hall, was eating alone.

Li Qingzhao just made a plate of stir-fried vegetables. As for the steamed buns, he bought them from the street. After all, he checked in in a hurry and didn't have time to make noodles.

Li Qingzhao chewed slowly. After she was full, there was still half a plate of green vegetables left. She put the unfinished food into the pot and covered it with the lid. After everything was put away, she walked into the side table again. In the study room.

Under the candlelight, there was only the slight crackling sound of the candle burning and the sound of the pages of the book being turned over.

Or the friction sound when grinding ink, or the rustling sound of the pen tip falling on the rice paper.

Accompanied by the moonlight outside the window and the crisp chirping of insects in the darkness, a beautiful piece of music is woven together.

…………

In this beautiful night, perhaps it is also a kind of tranquility. Li Qingzhao quietly flipped through the ancient books, and when she encountered something precious, she excerpted the words into the book she chose. However, she did not take it as her own, but noted the original source at the end. author.

In this night, it seemed so quiet, and the slightly louder sounds were amplified countless times. At this moment, Li Qingzhao's writing suddenly stopped!
Then he slowly placed the brush on the mountain of brushes, gathered up his clothes, and slowly stood up.

There was still a demure smile on his face, but his slender hands picked up the sword placed beside him. Then he moved lightly, pushed open the door of the room, and walked out.

As Li Qingzhao walked out of the courtyard, he could see through the light through the curtains that there was an extra figure in the courtyard.

The man was dressed in night clothes and moved furtively. He seemed shocked when he saw Li Qingzhao coming out with a sword. He stood there and stopped moving.

Li Qingzhao held a sword and was covered with candlelight, quietly looking at the person in the courtyard.

After a while, the man in the courtyard stood up straight, looked at Li Qingzhao with a pair of exposed eyes, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"I heard that a beautiful woman came to Liangshan City. When I saw her today, she was really beautiful and fragrant!"

The visitor didn't seem to see the long sword in Li Qingzhao's hand. The other person's attention was immersed in Li Qingzhao's appearance. Even though Li Qingzhao was carrying a candlelight, he still seemed to be able to see Li Qingzhao's entire face.

Li Qingzhao looked at the people in the courtyard and noticed that their eyes were wandering around him, and then he said randomly:
"You came to visit late at night, without sending a greeting card, and you climbed over the wall and entered. I wonder what your intention is?!"

"Little lady, can't you even see this? When you came to Liangshan City, haven't you heard of my reputation as a flower-picking thief?"

"The flower picker?"

After hearing this, Li Qingzhao reacted and understood the other party's intention.

However, there was no fear on Li Qingzhao's face, and the man standing in the courtyard was a little surprised to notice this.

It was only then that he seemed to notice the sword in Li Qingzhao's hand, but there seemed to be a bit of excitement in his eyes.

"It turns out to be a young lady dressed in martial arts. Tonight will be even more interesting!"

But at this point, the man in night clothes suddenly turned his head slightly and said behind him:

"Brother Zhang, you have followed me all the way, do you still want to see my glory tonight?"

Anyone else?
Li Qingzhao also looked surprised when he heard what the other party said. He did not notice anyone else outside. After all, his attention was focused on the person in front of him at this time.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Li Qingzhao was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Are you coming from Liangshan?"

"Young lady is very smart, you can guess all these things correctly!"

The man in night clothes showed excitement in his tone, but the next moment, he was responded to by a cold sword light!

"Zizi-"

The man in night clothes suddenly covered his throat, but blood still spurted out from between his fingers, like water from a flood, unstoppable.
