Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 323: Li Shishi: Liu Gao, that's interesting! [1 more]

Tired?

Li Shishi's lips curled up into a faint bitter smile:

You may not believe it, but he can’t do it!

Although he may be the most powerful man in the world——

But he can't, he just can't!

However, in order to maintain the emperor's dignity, Li Shishi could only nod:

"Yeah, I'm so tired..."

The emperor is the emperor!

Mother Li was envious:
A whole stick of incense time!
It would be great if most people could do it with a snap of their fingers!

"By the way, the rich man from Shandong has left."

Mother Li walked to the main guest seat and sat down, smiling and talking about gossip:

"My daughter, you don't know that the rich man from Shandong hasn't arrived yet, but his wife has already arrived!
"Tsk tsk! I never thought that a Shandong man would also be henpecked!"

Li Shishi twitched the corners of her mouth lazily to show that she was smiling, then sat on the small bed.

From the angle where she sat, she could just see a new poem written in charcoal on the wall opposite.

Li Shishi couldn't help but frown.

Although she was a famous prostitute, she was also a talented woman, proficient in poetry and songs.

Therefore, it is also sought after by literati, scholars, princes and nobles.

Many famous poets such as Zhang Xian, Yan Jidao, Qin Guan and Zhou Bangyan were extremely fascinated by Li Shishi.

So the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls of her house must be by famous people, and there may even be calligraphy by Emperor Huizong of Song!
Not just anyone can scribble on her wall!
But the next second, Li Shishi was attracted by these words.

She had never seen such a font before:
The writing is flexible and the style is like a silkworm beginning and a swallow tail!
The most distinctive feature is that the vertical strokes are like hanging needles, as if they are deeply inserted into the wall and penetrate three inches into the wood.

It gave Li Shishi a refreshing feeling.

This aroused Li Shishi's interest in taking a look at the text.

This sight aroused Li Shishi's emotions.

At this time, there was a drizzle in the courtyard.

Raindrops dripped down from the eaves like beads falling off a string.

Two red candles swayed in the moist wind, making Li Shishi seem to have walked into a beautiful poem:

"A young man listens to the rain on the singing stage, with red candles dimming the curtains..."

Li Shishi just recited this sentence softly.

Because of my age, the sense of immersion in the later part is weaker.

But she was also able to empathize well, especially when the situation was right at the moment, which made her feel inexplicably lost.

"In my prime, I listened to the rain in a boat, the river was wide and the clouds were low, and the geese cried in the west wind..."

A man with a weak voice recited.

Li Shishi looked back and saw that it was Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji wore a soft gauze Tang scarf and a dragon robe.

His face was pale, his eyes were dark, and he looked like he had indulged in excessive sexual activities.

But when I saw this poem, my eyes lit up.

When others reach middle age, they can better understand the deeper meaning of it.

Especially when he read the lines "Now listening to the rain under the monk's hut, my temples are already gray", Zhao Ji couldn't help but touch his hair.

Although he is still young, his temples are already gray due to excessive indulgence.

Plus the last sentence is so sensational, "Joys and sorrows, separations and reunions are always merciless, just let the raindrops fall on the steps until dawn."

Zhao Ji felt a lump in his throat and reached out his hand to catch the raindrops falling from the eaves.

Seeing the raindrops falling from his fingers, Zhao Ji's eyes became moist:

"Who wrote this lyrics?"

"Your Majesty, this is a wealthy man from Shandong..."

Just as Madam Li said this, a guard with a sword flashed out from the shadows beside her and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, this is a new poem written by Liu Gao, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, Jeju!"

After saying this, the sword-wielding guard flashed back into the shadows.

Mother Li: “…”

"Liu Gao?"

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment.

The name was unfamiliar, and after thinking about it for a while but failing to remember it, Zhao Ji gave up.

However, this word made him remember the name:
"It's interesting!" Is it more than just a little interesting?
Li Shishi savored this poem carefully. The more she savored it, the more she felt it had a taste. Before she knew it, she was a little obsessed with it...

If no one mentioned it, Zhao Ji, who was busy with many concubines every day, would forget the sadness of today in two or three days at most.

However, what Zhao Ji did not expect was that he heard this name again during the morning court session the next day.

"Your Majesty, I propose one person!"

Gao Qiu came out of the class and said:

"Liu Gao, the magistrate of Yuncheng County in Jizhou, was loyal to his emperor and patriotic, wise and brave, and once wiped out the rebels in Liangshanpo!
"I think Liu Gao can handle this important task!"

Huh?
Zhao Ji was stunned:
Liu Gao, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, Jizhou?
Why does this name sound so familiar...

Yes, yes, the new poem on the white wall of Li Shishi’s courtyard was written by Liu Gao!
Really talented!

Zhao Ji already had his eye on Liu Gao, but he still asked Cai Jing out of habit:
"Lord Cai..."

Cai Jing bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have also heard that this man is wise!
"If he goes on a diplomatic mission to Liao, he will surely succeed!"

"My dear, do you also know this person?"

Zhao Ji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Gao had such a wide social circle!
Wait a minute, Zhao Ji thought:

"My dear, have you found your son-in-law's birthday gift?"

Zhao Ji was joking, who dared not laugh?
Then the whole court burst into laughter as loud as mosquitoes and flies...

If he doesn't smile, the emperor will look unhappy.

He laughed, and the Grand Tutor looked unhappy.

It's too difficult to have a full court of civil and military officials...

Cai Jing's old face turned red:
"Your Majesty, although Liu Gao wiped out the Liangshanpo rebels, he did not find the birthday gift..."

Zhao Ji laughed out loud.

The depressed mood caused by the aggressiveness of the Liao envoys was relieved a lot.

Originally, Zhao Ji had favored Liu Gao. Since Cai Jing also agreed, Zhao Ji nodded:
"Let's just take him."

Cai Jing Gao Qiu: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Ji chuckled, wondering whether this little magistrate who could write "Now I listen to the rain under the monk's hut, my temples are already gray" could bring him any more surprises.

With a wave of his sleeves, Zhao Ji stood up:

"Retreat!"

……

"Liu Gao, accept the order!"

After hearing the angel's decree, Liu Gao couldn't believe that he was entrusted with such an important task by Emperor Huizong of Song.

In the imperial edict of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Liu Gao was promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites and ordered to go on a diplomatic mission to the Liao Kingdom.

After receiving the order, Liu Gao felt like he was dreaming until he saw his good brother:
Li Yuhou!
Li Yuhou was not alone, he also brought Zhang Ganban from the Grand Tutor's Mansion!
"Congratulations, brother! Congratulations, brother!"

Li Yuhou smiled and took Liu Gao's hand. When he took his hand back, there was a gold ingot in his palm.

"This Zhang Ganban is my confidant!"

Li Yuhou introduced Zhang Ganban:

“He’s working at the Grand Tutor’s Mansion!

"Even the six ministers have to look at his face!"

Zhang Ganban laughed:
"Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Gao also shook hands with Zhang Ganban.

After shaking hands, Zhang Ganban clenched his fists and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum:

"Good brother, it's real!"

"What did I say?"

Li Yuhou also laughed:

"Brother, if you weren't so honest, we wouldn't be here today!"
