King of Song

Chapter 218
In Bianjing, the weather is sunny and sunny, and autumn is refreshing.

Chai Minyan supported Zhao Fukang, the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, for a walk in the imperial garden.

After a period of relief, Zhao Fukang's mood improved a lot. Coupled with Chai Minyan's rejuvenating medical skills, Zhao Fukang's physical condition is much better than before.

The empress dowager Cao and the concubine Miao were very happy about this. Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor was helpless, and the daughter who was about to be so ill began to improve. Both her body and her mentality improved a lot. There are signs of recovery.

Most importantly, Princess Fukang, who used to only know how to be immersed in grief, is finally willing to stand up and start caring about the lives of the two mothers.This is undoubtedly a major progress, which shows that she has begun to consider others in her heart, and has learned to care, which makes the two ancestors very happy.

He was even more admirable and grateful to the medical girl Chai Minyan, and the courtesy was naturally even more grand.Chai Minyan stayed in the palace and continued to take care of Zhao Fukang, the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, until she recovered.

Chai Minyan is very clear that the eldest princess's heart disease is greater than the disease, so she has always focused on enlightenment.When the weather is good, I will take the princess out to relax!

"Princess, there are actually many things in life that deserve our attention. Have you noticed? Are the Empress Dowager and the Concubine in a good mood recently? That's because of your filial piety and concern, Princess..."

Zhao Fukang said softly: "Yes, I have ignored these things before. As a woman, it is really unfilial!"

……

"In fact, there are many beauties in life, but we haven't discovered them, such as the flowers, trees, and even fallen leaves in the imperial garden..."

Zhao Fukang was still a little pessimistic in his heart, and couldn't help sighing: "No matter how gorgeous the flowers bloom, they will eventually wither, and no matter how lush the leaves are, they will eventually wither..."

"That's true, but has the princess heard a saying: Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers!" Chai Minyan explained: "Flowers and leaves, in the end, return to the original source and rejuvenate themselves..."

"Luohong is not a ruthless thing. It turns into spring mud to protect flowers!" Zhao Fukang muttered to himself, reciting these two lines of poems in a low voice, as if he was very touched, and asked: "Who made this? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Woolen cloth?"

"This is Lin Zhao's work!" Chai Minyan couldn't help feeling a little shy when the name was mentioned.

Zhao Fukang smiled lightly: "Oh, no wonder? So talented and profound, the most important thing is that we talented women remember so clearly!"

Recently, one of Zhao Fukang's pleasures is to make fun of Chai Minyan.It seems that through this method, the nostalgia for Liang Huaiji in my heart can be channeled, and my mood can be relieved a little...

Chai Minyan said in a low voice, "Princess..."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything!" Zhao Fukang smiled lightly, and as soon as he turned a corner, he met a busy waiter head-on, and almost bumped into him!

"Why are you so flustered? Walking so carelessly!" Zhao Fukang was very displeased and reprimanded in a low voice.

Seeing that he almost bumped into Zhao Fukang, the servant was terrified, bowed and said, "Forgive me, the eldest princess, the official is in a hurry to ask for something, so the servant..."

"The officials lost their temper again?" Zhao Fukang knew this nephew very well. Zhao Xu was usually fine, and he was very gentle in front of the ministers.He had betrayed the ministers, but he often lost his temper in the palace, and the servants and maids often suffered because of this.

"Yes, I heard that something happened to Xixia or Tubo, Zheng Longyan will be furious..." As soon as the words came out, the servant realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly apologized and left.

Something happened to Tubo?He is on an envoy there, is there any danger?Hearing this sentence, Chai Minyan was a little nervous immediately!

"Look? You still don't admit it, are you worried about it again?" Zhao Fukang saw Chai Minyan's expression and couldn't help smiling.Immediately seeing the strong concern and worry in Chai Minyan's eyes, his heart moved, he was envious, and comforted him apologetically: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, I just said it casually, I don't know what's going on. Besides, he is so clever , if something happens, it will definitely be handled properly.”

While speaking, that handsome face involuntarily appeared in Zhao Fukang's mind.By the Jinming Pool, Zhao Fukang felt that Lin Zhao looked a little familiar, and now this feeling is getting stronger.But where did I see it, I really can't remember for a while...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The weather in Bianjing was fine, but the emperor Zhao Xu was not in a good mood. The duplicitous Xixia people had just submitted a request for canonization, but in a blink of an eye, they started to move around again.

The news just came from the front that Xixia Prime Minister Liang Yibui sent envoys to Qingtang City to win over Zanpu Dongzhi from Hehuang Tubo.The Empress Dowager Liang of Xixia was even more generous, willing to give up her daughter who was only a few years old to make a marriage contract with Lin Bubi, the son of Dong Zhan.Trying to establish an alliance with Tubo through marriage.

Afterwards, Xixia unexpectedly began to move around in the border area, and small frictions continued.Li Fugui, the guard of Huanqing Road and the governor of Gyeongju, reported that the Xixia army has frequently invaded the Song Dynasty in recent times, and has built fortresses near the border, which means sending troops to attack.

Li Fugui asked the Privy Council to send troops to fight back and stop them when necessary, and the imperial court naturally agreed.You can't just sit idly by and watch the Xixia people being arrogant at the door of your house. It's better to be able to fight head-on and let them retreat in the face of difficulties.At the same time, force was also used to increase leverage and support for diplomacy. Lin Zhao, who was sent to Tubo in Hehuang, would definitely compete with the Xixia envoys. Zhao Xu felt that he should give some support indirectly.

There is just one thing, the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty do not want the war in the northwest to expand.Perhaps they already have a vague fear of summer in their hearts, and they dare not have serious conflicts with party members and go to war directly.

In this regard, Emperor Zhao Xu was very helpless. The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty were actually afraid of Xixia in their bones, which made him very worried and very angry.

Longyan was furious, the servants and maids serving below were all trembling, even though they were far away from the Chui Gong Palace, they still couldn't help trembling, and they were in a hurry.That's why the servant almost collided with Princess Fukang...

In the Chuigong Palace, Zhao Xu stared at the huge map of the Song Dynasty, and when he saw the northwest area, a little dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.

The existence of Xixia and Tubo made the Song Dynasty lose a large area of ​​land in the northwest compared with the Han and Tang Dynasties, which looked like a huge scar, so dazzling.

Zhao Xu felt very uncomfortable. He had great plans and ambitions in his heart, and he was determined to regain the lost ground in the Northwest.Wang Anshi also wrote a letter before saying that the country should be rich and the army should be restored to the old Han and Tang Dynasties.This idea coincides with him. The reason why Zhao Xu reused Wang Anshi may not be without this reason...

Xixia is very dishonest now, and the Empress Dowager Liang is too restless as a woman.Zhao Xu felt that when necessary, she should give her some color...

Of course, the premise is to stabilize Hehuang Tubo first.Counting the days, Lin Zhao is almost here, and I don't know what the situation is?

Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the Hehuang area, and there was a little more expectation in his eyes!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After crossing Hezhou, we continued to move forward, walked for a few more days, turned to the northwest, and got much closer to the Huangshui River Basin.

When setting up camp in the evening, Su An came to report: "Young master, according to the current speed, you can enter and reach the lower reaches of the Huangshui River tomorrow. Then go west along the river, and it is estimated that you will reach Qingtang City within a few days."

"Very good, it's finally here!" Lin Zhao let out a long breath, and suddenly relaxed a lot.

The one worry in my heart can finally be relieved, at least I passed Hezhou safely.Although Mu Zheng greeted him grandly, sent him off, and entertained him graciously, Lin Zhao could not rest assured along the way.I'm afraid that Xia Zhan and Mu Zheng's father and son, if they do one thing in front of their faces and another behind their backs, something will happen.

Now we have to leave the Hezhou territory completely, as long as we enter the Huangshui River Basin, everything will be fine!

On the plateau, rushing on the road was really hard work, and finally made it through, and the dawn before dawn was already beckoning.

Lin Zhao arranged: "Okay, have a good rest tonight, let's hurry up tomorrow! By the way, send a fast horse to Qingtang City, and report to Tubo Zanpu Dongzhi!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's set up camp and rest!" After Lin Zhao ordered, he walked around, firstly to inspect, and secondly to relax.

When he reached the edge of the camp, he didn't want to see a figure sneaking away, walking towards a small forest outside the camp!

Taking a closer look, it was Xin Wenzhe.

What is he going to do?Why so sneaky?
Lin Zhao has always been suspicious of Xin Wenzhe and his party. Although they have been safe and sound along the way, the doubts in their hearts have not been eliminated.

Now it's the last moment, Lin Zhao doesn't want to capsize in the gutter at this time.So after seeing Xin Wenzhe's sneaky figure, he couldn't help but wonder, what is he going to do?So he quietly followed, ready to find out!
I saw Xin Wenzhe quietly came to the woods, jumping up and down, with a very happy childlike heart!Finally squatting down in a dense bush...

Lin Zhao followed not far away, and his sight was blocked by the bushes, so he couldn't see Xin Wenzhe's movements clearly.When I was wondering, I heard a slight sound of water flowing...

Uh……

Thinking of something, Lin Zhao reacted instantly.The mystery of Xin Wenzhe's male and female indiscrimination seems to be finally solved!
It's just that I...followed me to investigate like this, but I didn't want to...

well!Being misunderstood as a pervert, but you can't argue with it!Fortunately, she didn't notice it, so she hurriedly withdrew quietly...

Just when Lin Zhao was about to leave, he suddenly found that on the other side of the woods, under the setting sun, a bright arrowhead stretched out. The target was Xin Wenzhe who had just tidied up his clothes and was about to get up and leave.

Lin Zhao didn't have time to think about it, he rushed out with a stride, and with a crisp scream, he rushed towards Xin Wenzhe...
