[Zhan Zhao] Counseling County Master Chasing Her Husband

In the first year of Qianxing, Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan collapsed in Yanqing Hall, and 13-year-old Zhao Zhen ascended the throne as emperor, with Empress Dowager Liu E assisting him.

The emperor died, and the world was in peace.

In the white expanse, the Eighth Sage King squatted down, looked at Zhao Ning, who was five years old at the time, and said, "Daughter, what father taught you the most, do you remember?"

Zhao Ning said in a milky voice: "Remember, establish your heart for the world, establish your life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."

The Eighth Wise King shook his head, with a sad expression, and said, "Wrong."

"It's Shouzhuo."

"In a peaceful and prosperous world, for people like us, being humble is enough."

Zhao Ning seemed to understand, but seeing the frown of his always cheerful father, Zhao Ning nodded vigorously and said, "I remember, it's Shouzhuo."

The Baxian King sighed, wiped off the snowflakes that fell on her face, held her in his arms, and walked all the way to the palace.

Zhenzong died, and Liu E, who had been favored by Zhenzong all his life, cried and swollen his eyes. When Zhao Ning came to the palace of Lingling, Liu E was still crying on the coffin.

She was crying unabashedly, not at all like a noble queen who had been raised in the deep palace for many years.

Zhao Ning couldn't help but think of what the little court ladies had secretly said about her: the empress came from a humble background, she was not a lady of the family, she was a very humble singing girl.

Zhao Ning looked at Liu E, who was crying and lost all manners, and frowned slightly. The little girl suddenly agreed with the words of those court ladies.

Liu E is indeed not a lady. A lady cannot cry like this. A lady's cry is not crying, but weeping. Tears fall on the ground, and no sound can come out. The picture is also picturesque.

Liu E cried so sadly that the Eighth Sage King put Zhao Ning on the ground, went up to persuade her, and said, "Sister-in-law, the emperor's brother has passed away, the new emperor is young, and the courtiers have no leader. You must take care of yourself."

However, Zhao Ning felt that her father was not very good at comforting others. The Empress Dowager Liu was already so sad, how could he bother her with government affairs?

So Zhao Ning said: "Father, it is normal for your mother to be sad after losing her husband."

Empress Dowager Liu trembled, and slowly stopped crying.

The maid who served her helped her go to the side hall to freshen up and put on makeup. When she came back, she was the Empress Liu who loved the harem that Zhao Ning was familiar with.

No, it's Empress Dowager Liu.

She was sitting on the chair, dignified and majestic, with just the right amount of alienation in her expression, and her slightly raised fingers were dyed with plain Koudan.

This woman is the first regent woman since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Whether it is a military general with great military exploits or a well-educated civic official, they all have to bend their knees in front of her.

She is not a lady of everyone, and she does not need to be a lady of everyone, she is the most noble existence in this world, and in her eyes is a great cause for thousands of years, and the peace of Kyushu.

She controlled her emotions very well. If her eyes were not too swollen, Zhao Ning could hardly connect her with the crying woman lying on the coffin just now.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at the Eight Sage Kings and said, "When the late Emperor was lingering on the sick bed, he once stretched out five fingers to Ai's family, and then three fingers. What do you think, what does this mean?"

Five plus three is eight, and it is obvious who eight refers to.

□□How did the emperor establish the country? He bullied the orphan and widow, the yellow robe, and became the emperor. For this reason, he felt guilty towards the Chai family and gave the Chai family a Dan book iron certificate.

How did Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi ascend to the throne? He also bullied orphans and widows to ascend the throne. For this reason, he felt guilty to Zhao Kuangyin's descendants, and bestowed gold-encrusted white jade locks and concave gold maces. The eight virtuous kings who punished the courtiers.

The first prince, the second good king, the third loyal king, the fourth Jin king, the five virtue kings, and the six respectful kings, the kings who do not participate in the upper hall, and the kings who do not quit in the lower hall, are the eight virtuous kings.

Liu E looked at the Eight Sage Kings with cold eyes. The emperor died young and the new emperor was young, so it was most likely to bring troubles to Xiaoqiang and easy storage.

The Eighth Sage King is not just Zhao Zhen's son, what's more, he is in his prime.

The Eighth Wise King was startled, then knelt down, put his head on the cold floor, and said, "I don't know."

Empress Dowager Liu stared at the Baxian King, her swollen eyes were imperceptibly sharp, she was playing with the emerald and white jade cup that the maid gave her, although she had finished drinking the tea, she still held it in her hand.

The atmosphere in the palace was almost stagnant.

In this quiet palace where one can almost hear people's heartbeats, Zhao Ning giggled, walked to Empress Dowager Liu, pulled her finger, took the cup from her hand, raised her head, Said: "Uncle Huang means that his illness will be cured in three to five days."

Zhao Ning held the emerald and white jade cup in front of Empress Dowager Liu as if offering a treasure, and said, "A-Ning likes this cup, can I give this cup to A-Ning?"

Empress Dowager Liu caressed Zhao Ning's childish face. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the Eight Worthy Kings kneeling in front of the hall. He was dressed in white, and the purple gold crown he wore all the year round was replaced by a white jade hairpin. He rested his head on the floor without making a sound.

Empress Dowager Liu's gaze was dull, she had too much blood on her hands, many of which were blood from the Zhao family, Zhao Ning's words that she lost her husband made her want to keep her.

There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, but what is lacking is smart people who know how to advance and retreat.

Empress Dowager Liu withdrew her gaze, looked at Zhao Ning, and said, "If you like it, take it."

Empress Dowager Liu never threw a cup as a sign, and Zhao Ning and the Baxian King returned to the palace safely.

Back at the palace, Di Niangniang hugged Zhao Ning and cried a lot.

From then on, Zhao Ning began to be conscientious and conscientious, pretending to be stupid.

Empress Dowager Liu regained her kindness, Emperor Zhao Zhen treated her very intimately, Princess Zhao An loved to play with her, and even Grand Master Pang's only son was willing to stay with her, a stupid princess.

There are many relatives of the emperor, and at the palace banquet, there are also those who don't have eyesight to snatch things from her, for example, the young son of Lord Chai's family.

The result of this is usually that, before Zhao Ning spoke, Pang Yu was already fighting with someone, Zhao An comforted her, and at the same time asked someone to inform the queen mother, Zhao Zhen rushed over, touched her head, sighed, and spoke earnestly Said: "If no one supports you, what will you do in the future."

Zhao Ning lowered his head in embarrassment.

This farce was designed by her because Shizi Chai pulled her hair yesterday when she was enjoying flowers and eating snacks in the imperial garden.

Empress Dowager Liu came late, looked at Chai Shizi who was beaten into a pig's head by Pang Yu, and then looked at Zhao Ning who was surrounded by stars and asked for warmth, and smiled meaningfully: "The pearl hairpin that A Ning is wearing today It's nice."

Zhao Ning touched the pearl hairpin on her head, the one she was wearing yesterday was lost after Chai Shizi pulled her hair, and she put on a new one today.

The Eighth Sage King taught her to hide clumsiness, but did not teach her that suffering is a blessing, so the word suffering is not in her dictionary.

If Zang Zhuo can get her what she wants, then why not do it?

In this world, people who are too smart will not live long in the palace, and people who are stupid will die sooner. Only those who pretend to be stupid with their cleverness can live like ducks in water in the palace.

Therefore, Zhao Ning looked at Empress Dowager Li with pity. Her palanquin, her incense, her soft blanket, and the things she left behind in the palanquin are not something ordinary people can bear. of.

Zhao Ning turned around and got into the sedan chair that Bao Zheng had prepared for Queen Mother Li.

There was a clatter of horseshoes, and Zhan Zhao knocked on Zhao Ning's sedan chair.

Zhao Ning lifted the curtain.

Zhan Zhao's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was an imperceptible tension on his usually calm face.

"you--"

Zhan Zhao said: "Don't be angry, your body will be bad if you get angry, your body is weak."

He looked at Zhao Ning, thought for a while, and said, "What can I do for you?"

"Lord Bao's mother is getting old, and Miss Fan is a girl, I..."

Zhan Zhaoying's face was a bit tangled, it's good that they are men, so he can beat them up to vent Zhao Ning's anger.

Zhan Zhao saw Zhao Ning's eyelashes trembling, thought she was going to cry, and became even more panicked, saying, "Don't cry, I'll tell Miss Fan, how can she snatch your sedan chair?"

Zhao Ning lowered his eyelids.

She was afraid that if she didn't lower her eyelids, she wouldn't be able to hide the smile in her eyes.

In her life, there is no such word as suffering. Fan Xi, who was happily sitting in the sedan chair at that time, did not know that a catastrophe was imminent.

And the people around all felt that Zhao Ning had been wronged, and they all geared up to vent their anger on her behalf.

Even Zhan Zhao, who seldom talked to her in front of the crowd, couldn't help but speak out for her.

Zhao Ning pursed his lips, tried hard to maintain a little aggrieved expression, lowered his voice, and said, "Don't go."

She never competes for a moment in terms of face, the inner truth is the most important thing.

The change in Zhan Zhao's attitude gave her the urge to thank Fan Xi—thank you for taking the blame and pushing Zhan Zhao to me again.

After getting along these days, Zhao Ning has a clear understanding of Zhan Zhao's temper.

Zhan Zhao is modest and refined, he is cautious in doing things, he is quite a gentleman, he has traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, accumulated a lot of life experience, and he speaks the truth clearly and logically, but emotionally, it is a blank sheet of paper.

He is too slow emotionally, so Zhao Ning can't help but need to rely on external forces.

Zhao Ning grabbed the veil and said in a trembling voice, "I don't like you talking to her."

Zhan Zhao instantly softened his heart, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk to her."

Then belatedly, he remembered that the total number of words he had said to Fan Xi was less than ten sentences.

When Zhao Ning heard Zhan Zhao's answer, Fang raised his head again, looked at Zhan Zhao with full eyes, and said, "I just remembered that something was left in the sedan chair. When you rest at night, call someone Bring it to me, will you?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, now he will do whatever Zhao Ning says.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhan Zhao would talk to Fan Xi, Zhao Ning added, "You are not allowed to go, tell Ma Han to go."

Chao Chao has a loud voice, a fiery temper, and everyone knows how to yell about everything, and it is precisely because of this that he has to go.

"Okay, I won't go, tell Ma Han to go."

It was the end of June, the sun was just shining on the sedan chair, and Zhao Ning showed a small face in the sedan chair, gentle, gentle, and well-behaved.

Zhan Zhao's heart moved, and he said, "Wait a minute, I'll give you something."

After saying this, he turned his horse's head.

Amidst the dust, he came to the place he had just passed by.

There were still late-blooming flowers on the side of the road that hadn't faded yet, so he flew to pick the brightest one, and then rode back to Zhao Ning's sedan chair.

Zhao Ning has been raising the car curtain, waiting for him to come back.

The sedan chair was swaying, Zhan Zhao bent down and put the flower pin in her hair.

Fang Hai, who was riding behind the sedan chair, stared straight at Zhang Kun, who was coughing so hard that he was dying.

Nan Xing glanced lazily, a smile appeared on Wannian's expressionless face, and he looked up to the front.

As the breeze blew by, Zhao Ning's hair was also limp, scratching Zhan Zhao's palm, and even his heart itched.

Zhan Zhao withdrew his hand, his fingertips were reddish.

In the past, he always thought about Zhao Ning's identity, and he didn't dare to get too close to her in front of everyone, which caused her to worry about gains and losses and feel insecure. When she saw him talking to the woman next to her, she felt very sad.

She is also shy and dare not talk to him. If he was not wiping tears in the sedan chair, if he hadn't come to see her, I'm afraid she wouldn't know how uncomfortable she was.

Hearing her trembling voice saying that she didn't like him talking to Fan Xi, Zhan Zhao's heart was clenched.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Ning, and said softly, "It looks good."

Zhao Ning caressed the hairpin, blushing like the sunset glow in the sky, looked at Zhan Zhao who was full of tenderness, mustered up his courage, bit his lips, and asked, "What's so beautiful?"

In fact, she wanted to ask whether it was me or the flowers, but there were too many people around, and she was a very thin-skinned person, so she turned a few words around in her chest, and in the end it just turned out to be something beautiful.

The breeze blew the tassels on Zhan Zhao's hat, and it swayed with his horse riding movements.

The sun was shining on him, Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "The flowers are beautiful."

Zhao Ning's eyes showed disappointment, and the water vapor gathered in his clear eyes, as if he was so wronged that he was about to cry.

Zhan Zhao laughed, and said loudly: "The flowers are beautiful, and the princess is even more beautiful."

If you like someone and don't break the law, why do you hide and hide like a thief?

Gongsun Ce, who was also in the sedan chair, couldn't help shaking his head when he heard these words, stroked his beard, and said sadly: "Oh, the young people of today."

But there was a smile in those wise eyes.

At night, when everyone stopped to rest, Zhan Zhao called Ma Han over and asked Zhao Ning what kind of thing she had left in the sedan chair.

Zhao Ning smiled lightly, and said: "It's a lock inlaid with gold and white jade. I can't tell what its characteristics are, but it is very special. If Brother Ma sees it, he will recognize it at a glance."

Zhao Ning is well-behaved and polite, with a sweet mouth, and the four pillars like her very much.

Ma Han was no exception, he responded, and said: "Okay, gold inlaid white jade lock, this subordinate will bring it back to the princess."

Hearing Ma Han's loud voice, Gongsun Ce kept yelling about the gold-encrusted white jade lock, and couldn't help but stroked his beard and thought for a while, why is this thing so familiar?

After thinking for a while, Gongsun Ce finally remembered where he had heard of this thing, and was so shocked that he pulled out a few beards and looked at Luanjia in horror.

The gold-encrusted white jade lock was given to the Eight Worthy Kings by Emperor Taizong. It is the same as the concave golden mace that can be used to stun the emperor and punish the courtiers.

If the bit of noble jade shavings on the gold-encrusted white jade lock were knocked off, let alone Bao Zheng's mother was sitting in the sedan chair, even the Empress Dowager would shed her skin even if she was not dead.

A bonfire was lit in the camp, and Nan Xing brought some pheasants, and made Fang Hai pluck the hair, except for the internal organs, and then threw it to Zhan Zhao, who handcuffed it to Zhao Ning to eat.

Zhan Zhao turned the branch of the roasted pheasant and observed the heat. Seeing that it was almost roasted, he tore off a chicken leg, took a bite, and tasted it.

After confirming that the taste is suitable, he handed the chicken leg to Zhao Ning and said, "You have a taste."

Zhao Ning took the chicken leg, held it in both hands, and ate it with his head down.

Nuggeting between the chicken legs, the flowers on the hairpin Zhan Zhao gave her in her hair became shriveled due to the loss of moisture over time, and fell from her hair to the ground.

Zhao Ning was so distressed that he didn't even care to eat it right now. He picked up the withered flowers and said sadly: "The flowers are gone."

Zhan Zhao saw her childish movements, laughed, pinned her messy temple hair behind her ears, and said softly, "From now on, I'll pick flowers and wear them for you every day, okay?"

Zhao Ning became happy again and said, "Okay."

"It's a word."

She hooked Gou Zhanzhao's little finger with her little finger, and her thumb was imprinted on his thumb, her face was flushed red by the firelight, and her fingers were also red and soft.

After hooking up with Zhan Zhao, she asked Nan Xing for a handkerchief, carefully wrapped the decaying flowers in it, and then put it close to her bosom, smiling and said: "This is the first flower, I will Keep it."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but rubbed her face, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "En, keep it."

Zhao Ning's side is peaceful, but Fan Xi's side is not peaceful.

Ma Han didn't have a good impression of Fan Xi, not only because of Fan Xi's snatching of Zhao Ning's sedan chair.

He bumped into him several times, and Fan Xi came over without tidying up anything, so he was short of clothes, so he asked Zhao Ning for clothes and jewelry, Zhao Ning had a good temper, and asked Nan Xing to find it for her.

Seeing this kind of scene, Ma Han wanted to shake Zhao Ning, you are a princess, why don't you be so easy to talk and cowardly?

After five times and three times, Ma Han's impression of Fan Xi was extremely bad. Today, Fan Xi went to snatch Zhao Ning's sedan chair again, forcing Zhao Ning, a princess, to sit in a small sedan chair.

Ma Han looked at the rickety sedan chair, and his heart trembled - after all, he was also a princess, how could he be bullied like this?

Zhao Ning asked him to help him get the lock inlaid with gold and jade. On his small face, his eyes were round and bright, as if filled with water, with a bit of worry and fear.

No need to think about it, she knew that she was afraid that she would not come back if she went, so she asked him for help.

Ma Han pulled his face, came to Fan Xi, and explained his purpose, Fan Xi didn't even raise his head, just said he didn't know.

The fire that Ma Han had accumulated for many days finally exploded, and his voice echoed in the night sky: "What did you do to the princess's gold-encrusted white jade lock?!"

Fan Xi was taken aback by Ma Han's sudden high-pitched voice. Empress Dowager Li patted her hand. She thought she had something to rely on, so she stuck her neck and said, "It's just a lock. I gave it to elder brother."

Empress Dowager Li didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's just a lock. She is a princess, she wears gold and silver, and enjoys endless wealth. What do you care about these little things?"

After all, Empress Dowager Li is Bao Zheng's mother, and she is old and blind. Ma Han doesn't know her well. It belongs to the princess."

Fan Xi kept screaming, slapped Ma Han's hand continuously, and said, "What are you doing?!"

"let me go!"

Hearing the voice, Queen Mother Li hurriedly grabbed Fan Xi, but Ma Han had already pulled her shoulders and walked away.

Ma Han pushed Fan Xi to Fan Hua's side, Fan Hua was also startled by him, hurried to help Fan Xi, saying: "What's wrong?"

Then he glared at Ma Han again and said, "How could you do this to my sister?"

Ma Han said coldly: "Where is the Princess's lock?"

There was a moment of panic on Fan Hua's face, and he said, "What lock?"

The two brothers and sisters colluded to get the lock.

Ma Han couldn't help sneering: "Give me the lock inlaid with gold and white jade."

Fan Huaqiang calmed down and said, "What kind of lock, I haven't seen it before."

But subconsciously covering his waist with his fingers, Ma Han narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and grabbed his skirt and pulled him off the ground.

Fan Xi was so frightened that he couldn't help shouting, "Brother, brother, let's give it to him. It's just a lock. When you arrive in Tokyo, how many locks are not enough for you?"

Blood rushed to the top of his head, Fan Hua felt cold all over, and he tightly protected his waist.

The lock inlaid with gold and jade was extremely warm in the hand, and the edges were smooth. No need to think about it, I knew that Zhao Ning often held it in his hand and played with it.

That's why he asked Fan Xina to give it to him.

He once heard from a storyteller in a teahouse that if a woman's personal belongings were taken by a man, she would be suspected of passing letters to and from each other. In order to protect her reputation, she wanted to marry that man.

Even if he became a prince, with his status, it would be difficult for him to marry Zhao Ning, not to mention, Zhao Ning liked Zhan Zhao, so he thought of this method.

Fan Hua gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Ma Han threw him on the ground. Fan Hua felt pain in his body, and he loosened his palms, and the gold inlaid jade locks were exposed from his waist.

The gold inlaid jade lock was originally inlaid with gold and white jade, but for some reason, the gold and jade were separated, and Fan Hua tied it separately with a red rope.

Nan Xing came over at some point, pulled the lock from Fan Hua's body, looked at it for a while under the moonlight, then slowly raised his head, looked at Fan Hua and Fan Xi as if he was looking at the dead, and said in a trembling voice, "If I You read it right, it was given to the Eight Sage Kings by Emperor Taizong."

"Holding this lock, you can kill the faint king at the top, and punish the ministers at the bottom."

The author has something to say: Zhao Ning: clean up the two of you

There is no need for the princess to do it himself

and stop thinking

That thing is not my personal possession

If nothing unexpected

Chapter 80 of this article will end ╮(╯▽╰)╭
