Marriage is doomed

Come in. "

"I kowtow to my lord, long live."

"Teacher, please give me a seat." Zhao Zhen said, for Pang Ji, his teacher and father-in-law, Zhao Zhen respected him from the bottom of his heart; but thinking of his open and secret fight with Bao Zheng... Zhao Zhen shook his head lightly, Asked: "Is there anything the grand master can't say in the court?"

"Long live, there is a ghost in the realm of Kaifeng; but no one has ever seen the face and posture of a ghost. I heard that one is being imprisoned in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. The old minister is very old, so..."

"Does the grand master want to get a glimpse of what's going on?" Zhao Zhen said with a helpless wry smile.

"I dare you; the feud between you and Bao Zheng has long been known throughout the court. If you want me to speak to Bao Zheng..."

No wonder people say old and young. It seems that this person is very similar to a child when he is old; Let's go together. It's also a good eye-opener...Wang Fu, prepare the sedan chair; I'm going to Kaifeng Mansion with the Grand Master now."

Wang Fu said respectfully: "The guards are required to report..."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, if he went early, there was no guarantee that Bao Zheng would decline him.Said: "No need. I heard that Bao Zheng's governance is strict and orderly. Today we will go to see if Kaifeng Mansion is really as people say."

The Kaifeng mansion was busy for a while, because the emperor and the grand master came to the mansion without warning.Bao Zheng quietly asked Gongsun Ce: "Sir, do you think the Holy Majesty and the Grand Master really came here just to see that cat demon?"

Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment, and said, "My lord, the students don't dare to speculate rashly; but nine times out of ten, the emperor came here for Bai Shaoxia. As for the Grand Master, he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and I'm afraid the visitors are not good..."

"It seems that this time we can only fight unprepared." Bao Zheng said indifferently.

"Long live my emperor, long live!" The guards of Kaifeng Mansion, led by Bao Zheng, welcomed Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhan Zhao who was next to him, and said, "Let's get back together; there's no need to be polite. I came here with the grand master this time because I was curious and wanted to see the cat demon captured by Zhan's guards not long ago. We are bothering you." It's..."

Bao Zheng replied: "I don't dare to be a minister, please sit down in the Long Live Flower Hall. Chao Dynasty, Ma Han, you go and bring the criminal Liu Rou to the Flower Hall."

The two said in unison: "This subordinate takes orders." They turned and left.

Zhao Zhen looked at the people on one side, and asked, "Why don't you see the guard Zhan?"

Bao Zheng said: "Long live back, Zhan Huwei went out because of business..."

Gongsun Ce came up with a teacup and said, "Our Kaifeng Mansion is not like the imperial palace that pays attention to everything; this is the dragon well before the Qingming rain, and it was soaked in the rain of the Dragon Boat Festival. Please Long Live and the Grand Master taste it."

Opening the tea cover, the elegant fragrance of tea came out, and even the picky Pang Ji nodded unconsciously; he said: "I heard that Mr. Gongsun is very talented, but I didn't expect to have such experience in cooking tea."

"Grand Master, the prize is too high!" Gongsun Ce responded politely.

Zhao Zhen took a sip and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good."

During the conversation, the dynasty came to report, and Liu Rou brought it.Not long after, a delicate woman was brought up; blue hair and black temples, pink face and peach blossoms.Although no makeup is applied, there is a sense of charm in the natural demeanor, and the glances also arouse people's infinite reverie.Zhao Zhen shook his head secretly, and sighed: "It's a pity that such a beauty is actually a ghost."

Wang Fu waved his hand and asked Liu Rou to be taken down.Wang Fu whispered in Zhao Zhen's ear: "Long live, the servant found out that Young Master Bai is in the West Wing; how about we go and see?" Zhao Zhen nodded.

Seeing Zhao Zhen get up, Grand Master Pang said courteously: "Long live, do you want me to accompany you?"

Zhao Zhen turned around and said, "No need, Taishi should go back to Taishi's residence first; Bao Qing should also go to work. I want to walk around. If there is anything, I will call you."

"The minister waits to obey the order." Bao Zheng looked at Pang Ji unintentionally, and saw a strange smile on Pang Ji's face; he didn't make any guesses at that time.

Bai Yutang sat on the edge of the bed bored, thinking that he would recover his strength soon; he didn't expect that his body didn't make much progress in the past few days.This was quite a torture for Bai Yutang who always liked to be lively and active, but thinking of Zhan Zhao's meticulous care, Bai Yutang couldn't help but smile...

"Yutang..." Hearing the voice, Bai Yutang's first reaction was that it was not Zhan Zhao; turning around, seeing Zhao Zhen with a smile on his face, Bai Yutang frowned slightly.Zhao Zhen saw it, smiled and said, "Why don't you welcome me?"

Bai Yutang stood up and said, "I don't know who you are in front of me?"

"Is there any difference who is it? I only hope that I will always be Long Yizhen in your eyes..."

Ignoring Zhao Zhen's words, Bai Yutang said, "Although it's not a big deal, thank you for your Ganoderma lucidum and Snow Lotus."

Zhao Zhen nodded happily, happy that Bai Yutang finally stopped caring about his identity.The two sat down, and Zhao Zhen said: "With the strength of your Jinhua Bai family, this is nothing. If you want to thank me, why don't you pay [-]% of the tax on behalf of the people of Jinhua this year? See the minister's memorial. This year The drought in Jinhua seems to be serious. If you can properly share the burden of the common people, I will be grateful."

"Since the Holy One is compassionate to the people, why not reduce or exempt taxes?"

"There are two reasons. First, the area affected by the disaster is small. If the tax is reduced or exempted, I am afraid that the local officials will use this excuse to not pay the tax in the next year; but in fact they still collect according to the old practice. This is not practical for the people. Second, our treasury has become more and more empty due to years of fighting; is it impossible for the officers and soldiers in the front to defend their homes and the country with hungry stomachs?"

"I'm not the head of the Bai family, it doesn't count if I say..."

"Indeed, it's not you, but he is the elder brother who regards you as precious as treasure. I heard that since you can speak, there is no one who refuses to agree to all your requests; since this is the case, I can save a lot of trouble by talking to you directly Well. Believe me, no one wants to deal with an old fox."

Bai Yutang smiled indifferently, and said, "You are still the same as before, you will always find the best way for yourself..."

Hearing Bai Yutang's kindness, Zhao Zhen also smiled, and said: "It's different, we could go boating and drinking on the West Lake together; now I'm afraid..." Zhao Zhen's lonely expression replaced the smile, and he didn't finish his sentence .

Bai Yutang just looked at him quietly, and then said: "Of course, how can you go to the West Lake as casually as you did back then. The safety of the world has been tied to you. This is not what you used to be. A wish? Now it has finally come true..."

Unconsciously looking at Bai Yutang's slightly thin face, he has an urge to be pitiful while he is still seriously ill.No matter he is in high spirits or he is rarely quiet, he is the most charming scenery in his heart.Zhao Zhen said: "Can I ask you a question? This question has been suppressed in my heart for a long time."

"what is the problem?"

"If your sweetheart is a woman, I can understand your reason for rejecting me. But why is it that Zhan Zhao can but I can't? I believe that my heart for you will never be less than Zhan Zhao..."

Bai Yutang was stunned by Zhao Zhen's words, he smiled, and said, "You should know that feelings don't always come with rewards, maybe you were attracted by Zhan Zhao when we met for the first time..." Thinking of the first meeting Looking at the scene of Zhan Zhaoshi, Bai Yutang smiled unconsciously.

Looking at the unfamiliar Bai Yutang, Zhao Zhen smiled wryly and said, "This reason is the same as my reason for you. Why can you succeed, but I..."

"Maybe it's because I'm more charming than you..." Bai Yutang winked at Zhao Zhen and said with a smile.

Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "Your thick skin is the key to success." The two looked at each other and smiled, and the grudge in their hearts finally disappeared.Zhao Zhen said seriously: "In Xialongyizhen, what is the name of Xiongtai?" Zhao Zhen stretched out a hand and looked nervously at the expressionless Bai Yutang.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to hold it, and said with a bright smile, "I am Bai Yutang."

At this moment, Wang Fu came in and said, "Your Majesty, you should go back, otherwise dinner will be postponed."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Today we are having dinner at Kaifeng Mansion, so go and talk about it." Wang Fu bowed and retreated.

Not long after, Zhan Zhao also came back; without being hindered by the status of a monarch and minister, the three of them chatted happily.It was almost time for dinner, because Bai Yutang wanted to use Zhan Zhao to heal his injuries; Zhao Zhen looked bored, and took Wang Fu to the dining room alone.Looking at the night like water, Zhao Zhen suddenly saw Bao Zheng walking towards the dark place not far ahead alone.

Bao Zheng was chatting with a man in black. Zhao Zhen was paying attention and vaguely heard Bao Zheng say: "Bao Zheng has already applied the medicine on Zhao Zhen's special tableware according to the command of the Lord. As long as Zhao Zhen was poisoned on the dining table , Gongsun Ce is enough to take the blame."

The man in black said with satisfaction: "Very good. Little Zhao Zhen never imagined that you are the one we have arranged to break through Xiangyang. Haha... This is the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind." After finishing speaking, he skipped easily The wall left; Bao Zheng also left afterward.

Wang Fu looked at Zhao Zhen with a pale face, and said, "Long live..."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and came to the dining room calmly, only to find that Zhan Zhao had arrived long ago; looking around, he did not see Bao Zheng and Bai Yutang alone; Zhao Zhen asked Zhan Zhao: "Why didn't Bai Yutang come..."

Zhan Zhao
