Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

"Master Ximen has fully agreed to prepare a suitable gift."

After Ping Tadamori came out of the Korokan, he came to see Quan Da Nayan Fujiwara without stopping. Of course, Ping Tadamori did not mention the matter of high-five swearing.

After all, this is a very incredible proposal, and it involves his younger sister Yuko Hira, which is completely a personal matter.

"Very good, you did well." Komi Fujiwara was very satisfied with the news brought by Hira Tadamori: "You go back first, the wedding day is not far away, and you will be very busy then."

Hira Tadamori, as Zaemon's second lieutenant envoy, is also a non-violation envoy. He is mainly responsible for maintaining the law and order in Kyoto. The wedding day is approaching, but he will be very busy.

"Then please excuse me and say goodbye."

Komi Fujiwara looked at the scenery in the courtyard, and heard the melodious chirping of the birds on the porch, a rare smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.

His third daughter, Atsuko Fujiwara, will soon be in the middle palace, and there is flesh and blood of Emperor Shirakawa in her stomach... Atsuko Fujiwara confessed this matter to herself.

Komi Fujiwara feels that his biggest task at present is to live well. As long as Fujiwara Shoko gives birth to a boy, his position is as secure as Mount Tai, let alone the grandfather of the future emperor.

Whose species is it?As long as Emperor Baihe dies before him, maybe he still has a chance to rule the court.

That young man Toba has always had a benevolent heart, and he never resisted the Emperor Shirakawa.

Komi Fujiwara seems to see his future path, a golden road... He feels that he can still be young again.

Everything is thanks to Zhangzi, but it must be a boy.

...

...

The day of the big wedding came as promised, the spring was bright and the air was full of the smell of cherry blossoms, which made everyone smile knowingly.

"Did you know that we are going to get married today!"

The guests stepped into the izakaya, took a few sips of wine, and whispered to their companions.

His companion took a piece of salted fish and chewed it in his mouth: "How could I not know, I heard that it is Fujiwara Atsuko, the daughter of Mr. Fujiwara Koshi, Quan Da Nayan!"

"You know what a fart, Fujiwara Shoko's godfather is His Majesty the Emperor...60s and [-] or [-] are tired of being together all day long..."

The previous guest lowered his voice triumphantly.

"Based on what you're saying, His Majesty the Pope is going to prepare... no, he has already cuckolded Imam?"

The chewing movement was interrupted suddenly, the salted fish almost fell on the table, and the voice became louder.

"Keep down, you want to die!" The previous guest hastily reminded his companion, while turning his head to look at the door...

A samurai is leading a few fully armed ashigaru into this wine tasting room, and the boss greets him with a smile on his face.

"My lord, you've worked hard!" The boss rubbed his fat hands: "Would you like a drink? It's a villain's treat!"

"Is there anything going on here?" The samurai asked with a gloomy face, "I'm so busy, who has time to drink your wine! I don't even look at what day it is!"

"Yes yes yes! Your lord has worked hard!" The owner of the izakaya saluted repeatedly, but the samurai spread his hands in front of him.

The knowing boss hurriedly put a bunch of copper coins into the big hand, and the samurai immediately withdrew his hand, and scolded in a stern tone: "Give me a good watch, whoever dares to talk nonsense will be arrested directly and sent to the yamen go!"

After finishing speaking, the samurai swept across the izakaya with sharp eyes, and the guests, who originally wanted to watch the excitement, immediately lowered their heads when they were swept away by this gaze.

The samurai let out a heavy "hum", and then swaggered away with those ashigaru.

The owner of the izakaya breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed his hands to the guests apologetically: "Everyone, you have to be more considerate, what day is it today, don't talk nonsense, or I won't be able to open this izakaya..."

Under the instruction of Fujiwara Koshimi, Hira Tadamori adopted high-handed measures, as long as he dared to talk about the matter between Emperor Shirakawa and Fujiwara Shoko, he would be arrested first.

Kyoto, which was originally beaming, was suddenly shrouded in an ominous atmosphere.

However, this did not affect the happy atmosphere in the Emperor's Palace at all. The inside and outside of the Palace were originally two completely different worlds.

Ximen Qing also rarely changed into a scarlet robe. In the Song Dynasty, only third-rank officials and above could use the scarlet color, but this occasion is an exception. What's more, Ximen Qing is not in the Song Dynasty, but in Dongying. .

"I don't know what gift Mr. Ximen prepared for Imamami?" Mr. Fujiwara happened to meet Ximen Qing and the others outside the door, and after a few words of pleasantries, he directly cut to the point: "It's really a headache to say... But for Ximen For grown-ups, this shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Ximenqing smiled: "Master Fujiwara is worried about me... As soon as I got the news, I immediately knew what gift I should prepare for His Majesty the Emperor today."

"Oh?" Koichi Fujiwara suddenly said, "Then I'll wait to open my eyes."

The two looked at each other and laughed, walking side by side.

...

...

The process of a big wedding is complicated, and it can't be done in a few days. Today is just the official day, which is the so-called grand ceremony.

The Empress Baihe sat on the main seat, waiting for a couple of newcomers to pay homage to him, the pride in his eyes was evident.

This is the first time Ximen Qing has seen this old guy who can give his grandson a cuckold. From the emperor to the emperor to the emperor, this old guy has been firmly in control of the government for decades. Officially, it is called "Yuanzheng" ".

There is no doubt that this kind of housekeeping will continue until the old guy dies, naturally or unnaturally.

Judging from the complexion of this bald old guy, he is well maintained. Although he indulges in women, he can live a healthy and healthy life for more than ten years at least.

"If things go well, how will Toba deal with this old guy?" Ximen Qing wondered, "This old guy must never recover... Unnatural death is the best."

At this moment, the old guy's voice came from above, speaking in standard fluent Chinese: "The envoys of the Song Dynasty also came to celebrate today, and I heard that they brought gifts?"

Ximen Qing smiled slightly when he heard this, knowing that this old guy was the last mastermind.

What is an appropriate gift?

This kind of request is like a woman facing several full wardrobes, preparing to choose a suitable outfit for an upcoming date, and asking her best friend to help her see which one is the most suitable.

As a result, it is conceivable that the two women were busy from morning to night, but they were unable to pick out a "suitable" dress.

Because the standard of appropriateness is perceptual, not rational, and there is no standard to measure it.

But Ximenqing is very confident that this gift can stop the mouths of Shirakawa and Fujiwara.

Because this gift is the only one in this world... at least in Japan.

What's more, Ximenqing also has Emperor Toba standing on his side.

"His Majesty the Emperor, Ximen Imperial City Envoy has indeed prepared the most suitable gift he thinks."

Komi Fujiwara's voice didn't look like an old man in his 60s at all. Just listening to his voice, it was clearly coming from a man in his 40s and [-]s, full of spirit.

Of course, the implication is: "Ximen Qing thinks it is suitable, but it is not necessarily suitable."

Emperor Baihe looked happy, the only hair on his face, his beard trembled: "It must be a good thing, present it!"

Ximen Qing laughed to himself, this gift was for Toba, the old guy got excited by himself, it was really a good show.

However, it can also be seen from this point that Emperor Toba is just a puppet, but this old guy never thought that the puppet would suddenly act against him one day.

"Of order." Ximen Qing smiled and waved, Kinoshita Tokichiro stepped forward with a scroll in his arms, and solemnly handed it to the servant.

"Calligraphy and painting?" Fujiwara Komi seemed to have some amusement in his smile: "Could it be the work of Layman Dongpo?"

Ximen Qing chuckled: "When the picture scroll is opened, everything will be clear."

The picture scroll was slowly opened by the two servants. The Empress Shirakawa and Komi Fujiwara put their heads together and looked at it carefully; the Emperor Niaoyu who was next to him couldn't help but stretched his body and propped his neck to watch.

"Well, it's a picture of flowers and birds... This technique is not Dongpo Layman's..."

Koshi Fujiwara stopped halfway through his speech because he had already recognized the technique.

Emperor Baihe pretended to be happy, but he could no longer be happy. This method is...

"It's a painting of flowers and birds written by His Majesty the Song Emperor!"

Emperor Toba gave the answer crisply and decisively.

This gift couldn't be more appropriate!

The emperor's wedding, the envoys of the Song Dynasty sent the picture of flowers and birds handwritten by the emperor, it couldn't be more appropriate!

Even Emperor Shirakawa or Komi Fujiwara couldn't point out that there is anything inappropriate about this painting of flowers and birds as a gift. If they say "inappropriate", it would be disrespectful to the emperor of Song Dynasty!

Whoever said such words would bear very serious consequences!

The two old guys Shirakawa and Fujiwara Komi looked at each other, they were both the same, they panicked!

Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing actually took out this painting of flowers and birds as a gift.

"You came up with a good idea!"

Emperor Shirakawa covered his mouth with his sleeve, and yelled at Komi Fujiwara who was close at hand: "Why don't you think of a way?"

Komi Fujiwara coughed, pretended to look at the scroll carefully, and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't panic, who can prove that it was written by the Emperor of Song Dynasty?"

Saying that, Komi Fujiwara stretched out his hand and pointed at the blank space of the scroll...

Emperor Baihe's eyes lit up, he straightened up and asked, "Ximen Imperial City Envoy, this painting of flowers and birds is really written by the emperor of Song Dynasty, why is there no seal?"

These words are almost arguing, but Shirakawa and Komi Fujiwara have no better choice.

"Take a look, both of you." Ximen Qing walked forward with a smile, and pointed out, "This place is the proof."

Emperor Shirakawa and Komi Fujiwara looked in the direction of Ximenqing's finger, and their expressions changed immediately.

There was a blank spot in that place, which was supposed to be a bird, but was painted over, and the bird was only half painted.
