[Comprehensive] Xian Wang

The death of the king of Zhongzhou did not affect the status of the Pang family, but made Pang Ji more important. Even the youngest son of the Pang family, Pang Yu, was given the title of Marquis of Anle.

Pang Feiyan, who was conferred the title of empress, received more rewards, and suddenly overwhelmed all the women in the harem. It is said that the emperor wanted to compensate the newly married empress for all the regrets he had suffered on the king of Zhongzhou.

But Pang Feiyan was not happy, why did she enter the palace?It's not for power and wealth with the women in the harem, she's just for her father and brother.The person she cares for has no affection for her, so she, Pang Feiyan, will stop pestering her. Since her brother and father are willing to fight for her, then she can't get into trouble because of her father and brother.However, her brother is dead... What's the point of everything she did?

Pang Feiyan had a cold face towards Zhao Zhen every day. As time went by, Zhao Zhen didn't bother to come to Pang Feiyan anymore. He just gave her the power and rewards that the women in the harem wanted most, which showed his preference for this queen.

Taishi Pang never thought of marrying Pang Feiyan to the emperor, so she never taught her about those messy things in the backyard.Therefore, it seems to be a matter of course for such a girl to be calculated.

That day, the Royal Garden was relaxing, but overheard Concubine Dong and the newly promoted Lin Cairen say: "It's a pity that the king of Zhongzhou died in battle, but these soldiers are full of murder, and they will die in battle sooner or later." thing……"

Pang Feiyan was furious in her heart, walked over and began to reprimand: "Heh, for whom did my elder brother go to war, and not for the people of the Song Dynasty to live and work in peace? He died in the battle, and the people all mourned. You are still talking sarcastic here, Are you from Da Song?"

Concubine Dong was caught, not to mention she was not afraid, and she even showed a gloating smile.No, the pregnant Lin Cairen who was listening to Concubine Dong fell to the ground like this, and then, under Pang Feiyan's shocked eyes, shouted loudly: "Empress, even if what Cairen said is not pleasant, You should also consider the child in her belly! This is the emperor's child, a dragon!"

Pang Feiyan was stunned in place, never expecting to encounter the legendary Gong Dou.

Because he didn't do anything, Pang Feiyan still had the confidence after all, he just said coldly: "Framed? I didn't do anything, do you think this will bring me down?"

Lin Cairen's child was still not kept. Concubine Dong knelt down in front of Zhao Zhen and cried and framed Pang Feiyan.Pang Feiyan just stood there listening, and when she met Zhao Zhen's gaze, she said coldly: "Your Majesty, do you believe her or me?"

"..." Zhao Zhen didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just kept silent for a while, and said, "Feng Wanyi, Lin Cairen, as for the queen... go back to the palace and think about it."

Pang Feiyan didn't say anything, turned and left, her back straightened and her eyes dazzled with pride.

It reminded Zhao Zhen of the out-of-control hug that day, which had nothing to do with love, but with temptation, but it is still...unforgettable.

Pang Tong died in battle, Pang Feiyan was grounded, Pang Yu was granted the Marquis of Anle, and Grand Master Pang was rewarded with a lot of money, but those who died were dead and could not come back no matter what.

Pang Yu has low self-esteem towards Pang Tong, the big brother, so he will always do some wrong things willfully, and seems to be a bit self-defeating.But after Pang Tong died in battle, his mentality changed. Instead of bullying others, he concentrated on learning poetry and poetry, but no one knew what he was thinking.

*******

And Gongsun Ce, on the second day of Pang Tong's expedition, had already returned to Luzhou to teach and study, waiting for the second year's imperial examination.

That day, when the news of King Zhongzhou's death came, he was serving as a teacher to a group of children when he was free and bored.It was supposed to teach the qin, but the strings of the qin suddenly broke, and the sound was harsh, just like the dream song that Gongsun Ce became famous in the past.

Master, does it hurt? ——The child asked Gongsun Ce with innocent eyes, and handed him a clean white handkerchief. Only then did Gongsun Ce realize that his fingers had been cut by the strings of the zither, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

He took the handkerchief handed over by the child, stood up and walked out, no matter who shouted, he never looked back.

That night, Gongsun Ce didn't know where to go and drank all night, but he woke up the next day like a normal person, continued to study and teach, and lived like a machine until the next year's imperial examination.

When he came to the capital again, Pang Feiyan, who was laughing and joking back then, became the empress of the deep palace. Bao Zheng has become Bao Qingtian.

Gongsun Ce didn't want to trouble Bao Zheng, but Xiao Zhanzhao came to invite him personally, and Gongsun Ce couldn't refuse, so he went directly to Kaifeng Mansion with them.

Kaifeng Mansion is not as gloomy and cold as it is said outside, like Yan Luodian, and even has a warm feeling compared to other yamen.

Bao Zheng was obviously very excited when he saw Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce seemed to be in a good mood, at least a little smile appeared on his face after he hadn't smiled for almost a year.

The three of them ate in the yard and drank wine together.

After drinking for three rounds, Bao Zheng suddenly said: "I thought you wouldn't come to the capital, after all, you gave up one exam last year."

"I also thought that I would never come again, but... I once promised him..." Said that I can't express it here, the love is so deep that I don't know where it is.

Bao Zheng sighed, thinking that it was Gongsun Ce who was mourning for his friend, and said: "Life and death are destiny, I wonder if something will happen to me one day, will your Gongsun son treat him like this, and never forget it."

Just as Bao Zheng finished speaking, Zhan Zhao pinched his arm. He also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he still looked at Gongsun Ce stubbornly, as if he was determined to get an answer.

Gongsun Ce didn't feel angry or heartbroken because of the scar being dug out, but just said calmly: "Bao Zheng, you are different from him."

With that said, Gongsun Ce put down the wine jug, walked out of the courtyard and left Kaifeng Mansion. After all, this is not the place he wanted to stay.

After Gongsun Ce left, Zhan Zhao said to Bao Zheng with disgust on his face: "Brother Bao, aren't you the smartest person in the world? Why do you still poke Big Brother Gongsun's scar! Drink it yourself, I'll go find Xiaobai. "

"..." Bao Zheng didn't speak, but took another gulp of wine, feeling a little unwilling in his heart, but he didn't know why.

As soon as Zhan Zhao came out of Kaifeng Mansion, he saw Bai Yutang riding a white horse. Fan, who looked so elegant and handsome as the young master of the world, made Zhan Zhao dazzled.

Bai Yutang's eyes lit up when he saw Zhan Zhao: "I just saw your big brother Gongsun, he seems to be in a bad mood."

Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang's mood improved a lot, but he was still a little depressed: "It's not because of Brother Pang, I knew that I should have taken Brother Gongsun away on the boat that day. Otherwise, they wouldn't be friendly It's so deep, and it hasn't come out of the shadows yet."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's listless cat, and teased him, "You cat, sometimes you're so smart, but sometimes you're horribly stupid."

Sure enough, Zhan Zhao became angry like a cat whose hair has exploded, "I said what do you mean, why am I so stupid!"

Bai Yutang made a contemptuous face: "I want to go!"

At this moment, Zhan Zhao had completely forgotten about worrying about Gongsun Ce, and instead concentrated on arguing with Bai Yutang: "I don't want to, you bastard, you want to fight, ah!"

"You dare to call me a dead mouse, you dead cat!" Bai Yutang also became angry, he kindly comforted the cat, but the cat actually got on his nose and face.

"Damn rat!" - This is the hero Zhan Zhaozhan who suddenly became childish.

"Dead cat!" - This is the white hero who has suddenly become childish.

The two young figures are drifting away, noisy, and I don't know whether the bond between them will be cut off by the sad reality just like the other two.

After Gongsun Ce left Kaifeng Mansion, he did not return to the inn, but went to Zhongzhou Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he found a crack in the door. When he opened the door, he found that there was no one in the door.It doesn't matter whether this kind of behavior counts as breaking into a private house, but went straight to the bamboo forest where they often drink.

He walked into the bamboo house, and the guqin was still there, but dust had fallen on it.

He wiped the dust lightly, and sat next to the guqin to play the piano, but no matter what, he couldn't play the coldness of killing and decisiveness at the beginning, and there was only deep sorrow and longing.

Sure enough, when a person dies, there is nothing left.

Afterwards, Gongsun Ce went to participate in the imperial examinations on time, but he was no longer the high-spirited and accompanied by friends.

On the day when the final results were announced, Gongsun Ce won the first place, which surprised some people, and made some people take it for granted.

Zhao Zhen naturally remembered Gongsun Ce, the man who saved Grand Master Pang's life and was praised by both Pang Tong and the Eight Sage Kings as a learned talent.For such a talent, Zhao Zhen was naturally not stingy in appointing an official, and directly appointed Gongsun Ce as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, bluntly saying that Gongsun Ce was the number one talented person in the Song Dynasty.And Gongsun Ce also took the initiative to ask Ying to be an envoy for peace talks in the early dynasty, and went to Daliao.

As for why he went to Daliao as an envoy, we have to talk about what happened in Daliao after 'Yelu Liangcai' ascended the throne.

It is said that after 'Yelu Liangcai' ascended the throne, he did not attack Da Song again to seek revenge from Da Song. Instead, he announced that it was Xixia's conspiracy that killed Yelu Juncai, which was the work of Li Yuanhao's younger brother Li Chengyu.The enmity between Daliao and Song Dynasty could not be resolved by the death of King Zhongzhou and Yelu Wencai, but now it is more important to kill Xixia, the initiator of all these conspiracies.

So in these years, there have been many disputes between Daliao and Xixia, and 'Yelu Liangcai' and Li Yuanhao have also confronted each other at the border many times, and there have been assassinations and other things. Zhao Zhen was happy to hear about such things.Originally, after Pang Tong conquered Tubo, Daliao, Xixia and Dasong showed a state of three-legged confrontation. In this case, the other two legs competed, which was obviously very suitable for the fisherman to gain.

However, war always has an end.After all, Xixia is not as deep as Daliao, and Daliao's fighting methods are also surprisingly sharp.After another big defeat, Li Yuanhao had to ask Da Song for help. Although Zhao Zhen was proud, he didn't rush to send troops, but decided to send someone to mediate first.When the candidate was being proposed at the court, Gongsun Ce, who had just become an official, took the initiative to invite Ying. Since this was a thankless job and no one was competing with him, this matter fell on Gongsun Ce.

Of course, other officials felt that Gongsun Ce's new official took office three times, eager to make meritorious service to prove himself, but Gongsun Ce didn't care about such gossip.

Although Bao Zheng had some unpleasant things with Gongsun Ce that day, there is no overnight feud between friends, and they are all men, so naturally they will not be petty.Therefore, Bao Zheng asked Zhan Zhao to follow Gongsun Ce to Daliao to protect Gongsun Ce's safety. Anyway, Kaifeng Mansion still has the four King Kongs of the dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and he is not worried about the loss of Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao was naturally happy to go out for a walk with Big Brother Gongsun whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Of course, Zhan Zhao also dragged him to Bai Yutang by the way.

Sitting on the carriage to Daliao, Gongsun Ce's mind was always empty, he didn't think about anything, and he didn't want to think about anything.

But the figure of that person always ran out, disturbing his mood that was trying to calm down.

He himself couldn't figure out why he was stubborn and wanted to come to Daliao, maybe he wanted to see the place where the man's bones were buried, or maybe he wanted to see the face that was similar to him.

Gongsun Ce shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off someone's voice and smile, so as not to think about it anymore.

*******

As for the 'Yelu Liangcai' who was far away in Daliao, well, Wang Ye, who had already changed his identity, was very disdainful after learning that Zhao Zhen had sent a peace envoy.If it is said that when he was Pang Tong, he wanted to be a good official and virtuous king to assist Zhao Zhen, but after his death, what Zhao Zhen did really made him feel disgusting enough. "After the death of Pang Tong" although there were many rewards, he directly used Pang Feiyan to attack and suppress his relatives in a different direction. It can even be said that the future emperor will definitely not have the surname Pang...

There is even a kind of, if it wasn't for the infamy of the rebels that his master Fuqin master Pang didn't want to keep, it would be better to have reversed Zhao Zhen's thoughts early on.It's farting for the emperor to die and the minister has to die. The premise of being loyal to the emperor and loving the country is that the emperor is worthy of him.It's not like what it is now, even if he is already a high-ranking emperor, he can't protect his sister.

However, when he saw the visiting envoy Gongsun Ce, Wang Ye lost his mind for a moment. He stared at the name closely, and even rubbed his eyes when he suspected that he was dazzled.

Wang Ye threw down the letter in his hand, smiled sadly, and said in a low voice: "Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce, you keep saying that you don't want to be an official, even if this king rushes to protect you. You don't want to. Now you are willing Working hard for Zhao Zhen, what on earth do you take this king for?"
