Chapter 129: Traveling, watching the lake, and discussing politics
Seeing that Zhang Yuxi was pretending to be mysterious, Bao Zheng asked him several times. Zhang Yuxi always smiled lightly and talked about him. Bao Zheng was speechless when he saw the trick, so he had to give up!
In the next few days, Dong Xianxian also visited Bao Zheng several times. Bao Zheng found out that Dong Xianxian did not know the method of detoxification. When Bao Zheng thought of this, he thought Yu Xi was lying to him so that he could recover from his injuries in peace of mind. Although Bao Zheng felt a little strange in his heart, he thought about it again and realized that he was seriously injured and it was indeed difficult for him to have the energy to find a way to detoxify the immortal. In this case, Bao Zheng no longer thinks about it. He only wants to recover as soon as possible. He only thinks that as long as his body is better, he will go to Cuiwei Lake to find the missing Princess Lan. Now only this witch has the antidote. The five people from Hu Yanqing, who used their aliases as Zhan Zhao, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Chao Chao Ma Han, have been searching for the whereabouts of Princess Lan, but they don't know if they have any results.
In the past few days, Bao Zheng felt such a leisurely life for the first time after traveling through the Song Dynasty. After lying still for two days, drinking a few patches of medicine to promote blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and applying a few patches of plaster for bruises, Bao Zheng unexpectedly no longer felt the dull pain in the injured area after three days. Bao Zheng suffered several heavy blows in the Battle of Juelongpo, but among them, Li Yuanhao's shot in the chest was the most serious. However, the black gold silk armor withstood most of the damage. Bao Zheng only suffered from poor Qi and blood. After causing discomfort and having smooth blood flow for two days, Bao Zheng felt that he was feeling much better.
For three days, people kept sending news to Bao Zheng. The first one was that King Wei and King Yi were invited to the Meridian Gate to issue a letter of apology. Many members of the royal family involved in the Tianmuhui were invited to the Meridian Gate. After the two princes read the letter of apology to the people of Bianjing who came to watch, something happened that shocked the people of Bianjing. King Wei and King Yi regretted their mistakes, so they both took out daggers and committed suicide. Immediately after, other royal family members involved in the matter, a total of more than ten people, committed suicide. Bao Zheng knew very well that it was impossible for King Wei and King Yi to get the daggers by themselves. These daggers must have been given to them by Zhao Zhen. After knowing this news, Bao Zheng felt that Zhao Zhen was no longer the same person he first met in Luzhou City. Brother Pig's head is green. Witnessing Zhao Zhen's growth, Bao Zheng was also deeply pleased.
The second news was that Kou Zhun's wife Song asked the Holy Emperor to transport Kou Zhun's body back to Xiagui in Huazhou for burial. Bianjing was far away from Xiagui, so the Holy Emperor sent a strong team of imperial guards to escort it, and the emperor ordered the body to be transported back to Huazhou for burial. According to the imperial edict, local officials must go out to meet each other for hundreds of miles. Kou Zhun could not return to his hometown with honor when he was alive, but he was given such an honor after his death, which was considered as fulfilling one of his wishes. On the first day when the emperor's imperial edict was issued, Kou immediately followed the Kou family and headed towards Shanxi.
The third news is that the Holy Emperor has accepted Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Wenrui¡¯s application to retire and return to his hometown. Wenrui has taken his family to the west to return to his hometown of Fenzhou to rest and retire. When Bao Zheng heard the news, he had already vaguely guessed that the position of the Kaifeng governor was probably vacated for himself. When Gongsun Ce came to visit Bao Zheng, he told Bao Zheng that Wen Yanbo did not follow Wen Rui back to his hometown, but stayed in Kaifeng Mansion. Thinking of the weird Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng couldn't help but smile.
The fourth news is about Zhao Congshi, the king of Anding County. The Holy One was grateful for Zhao Congshi's merits in defeating the Tianhui conspiracy, and also thought that he was indifferent to fame and fortune, so he specially gave him a plaque of "Imperial Granted Free Time", and the Holy One also agreed. Zhao Congshi made a request, but this request Zhao Congshi has not yet announced. When Bao Zheng heard the news, he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Congshi was selling in the gourd. We can only wait and see.
??????????????????????????????????????????????? After the incident of the Heaven-Mou Tian Meeting, almost all the people who contributed to this matter were rewarded. Even Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan were rewarded with money. Cui Wei was named a bodyguard, and Dong Hao was rehabilitated, and was given a sinecure as a loyal general because of his meritorious service.
Bao Zheng was injured in the past few days, but there was no imperial edict for him to receive the reward. Bao Zheng knew that Zhao Zhen would never treat him badly. Although he knew that he was about to get a high-ranking official and be rich in salary, Bao Zheng didn't seem very excited, because the poison of love had not been cured, and any fame and fortune were illusory in Bao Zheng's view.
Today, the sun was shining brightly outside the house. Bao Zheng walked around the yard, but he happened to want to go out for a walk, so he went to Cuiwei Lake to look for Hu Yanqing. Although the people of Moutianhui have surrendered, the imperial guards of Bao Mansion and Zhang Mansion have not withdrawn. Bao Zheng knew that this must be because Zhao Zhen was worried about Yu Qi and was afraid that there would be some evil deeds in the sky, so he acted like this.
Bao Zheng was not afraid of this at this time. In order to avoid questioning by his family, Bao Zheng asked Bao Yi to accompany him. If Zhang Yuxi knew that she was going out, she would definitely not be allowed because her injuries were not intact. When Bao Zheng left, he was afraid that everyone would be worried, so he wrote and left a letter and asked a maid to give it to Zhang Yuxi, explaining his whereabouts and asking him not to worry.
Bao Zheng sat on the carriage and left Bao Mansion through the back door. The carriage was driving on the street.This was the first time that Bao Zheng felt so relaxed. Without the Moutian Society spying on him, he didn't have to worry about rogue gangs jumping out from somewhere to hunt him down. Bao Zheng could calmly feel the charm of the humanistic atmosphere of the capital of the Song Dynasty. The area where Bao Mansion is located was originally a quiet area. Along the way, I felt the elegance of ancient architecture, and unknowingly arrived at the rippling Cuiwei Lake again. Bao Zheng didn't know where Hu Yanqing and others were, so he could only let Bao Yi drive the carriage around Cuiwei Lake.
For half an hour, Bao Zheng felt the breeze blowing from Cuiwei Lake and listened to the lake water lapping against the granite stones on the shore with the breeze. From time to time, groups of children can be seen sitting in small boats in Cuiwei Lake, holding fishing rods and fishing. Seeing that there was no fishing available, some impatient children jumped into the lake naked to catch fish. Bao Zheng looked at these scenes full of childishness, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, as if he had returned to his childhood. In the 21st century, Bao Zheng often went fishing in the lake with a group of children from the orphanage. The orphanage was very strictly managed. , I obviously went fishing secretly. My childhood friends were all good swimmers, but Bao Bao never learned to swim. Every time, I could only stand on the shore and watch others swim. This scene is similar to today¡¯s scene. like. Obviously they didn't dare to take the fish back to the orphanage after catching it. Several friends lit a fire and grilled the fish. The job of grilling fish has always fallen on Bao Bao. Although Bao Bao can't learn to swim, he has a unique skill in grilling things. At first, his friends all praised Bao Bao for grilling fish well, but Bao Bao himself was not sure. Whether grilling fish by oneself is really so expressive, is it because they want to swim and play, so they deliberately praise Bao Bao so that Bao Bao is determined to grill fish, or is the skill of grilling fish by oneself really good? This has never been verified. , it seems that only by grilling fish once in the future for a person who is willing to tell the truth, can we know whether the craftsmanship is really as impressive as those friends said.
Bao Zheng fell in love with the scenery, and unknowingly fell into this long series of memories. It was only a few short months when he traveled to the Song Dynasty, but during this period, Bao Zheng really lived like several years, and he kept asking Being hunted and being chased by endless incidents related to him forced Bao Zheng to keep moving forward until the inside story of the Moutian Society was completely revealed. Starting from Li Yuanhao's escape, Bao Zheng knew that he could finally take a good rest for a while. .
Therefore, in the capital, most of the people who had problems with him were dead, but Bao Zheng knew that there was another important person who was still alive and well. He is Liu Mei! Behind Liu Mei was the huge power of Queen Liu, and the prince Zhao Zhen was definitely on the side of the queen. Bao Zheng decided to stop showing off his strength. Facing this kind of force that is powerless to fight, hiding one's strength and biding one's time is definitely the best way. The Liu Mei Group is a tiger and wolf sleeping soundly in the palace compound. At this time, they are not showing off their power. Bao Zheng must also choose to remain calm. If he launches an offensive against Liu Mei and others first, he may even be in Zhao Zhen's mind. Any good impression will be instantly erased. Kou Zhun is dead at this time. If he loses the support of Prince Zhao Zhen again, then Bao Zheng will really be doomed.
Bao Zheng had his own plans for dealing with Liu Mei and Queen Liu. Liu Mei and Liu E must have ambitions and goals to live in seclusion in the palace, and the fox's tail will eventually show. At this time, Bao Zheng not only cannot go against them, but also seriously flatters them. When they are in their prime, it is also the time when mistakes are most likely to occur. Bao Zheng must identify their life gates and kill them with one attack. If they are defeated, if they fail in one blow, they will definitely be the ones waiting to die.
Kou Zhun is dead, Bao Zheng must become more shrewd, but in this blink of an eye, Bao Zheng has already analyzed the situation clearly.
The carriage stopped unconsciously at this time. Bao Zheng stopped his thoughts and stepped out of the carriage. In front is a sea of ??bamboo, which is where Cuiweiju is located. I haven¡¯t seen Fairy Cuiwei for a few days. What on earth is she doing? Cui Wei, this mysterious woman, makes Bao Zheng curious all the time. This curiosity is not because of her bizarre life experience, nor because of her amazing talents. In Bao Zheng's heart, he always feels that Cui Wei is a person with a lot of stories. . It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary thirty-two-year-old woman to have Cui Wei's level of experience and knowledge. Every time she talks to Cui Wei, Bao Zheng feels refreshed. Perhaps today it¡¯s time to listen to Fairy Cuiwei¡¯s views on the current situation.
Bao Zheng immediately abandoned the carriage and took Bao Yi to the Bamboo Sea. The bamboo forest was still green and the bamboos were still densely packed. Bao Zheng walked on the soft road covered with bamboo leaves as he walked. It took two-quarters of an hour to walk through this refreshing dense bamboo forest. In front of him was the place where he, Kou Zhun, Zhan Zhao, Fairy Cuiwei, and Fang Qing fought against Princess Lan that day. Kou Zhun passed away on the river bank not far away that day. The tragedies of the past seem to be vividly visible. At this time, Cuiweiju seems to have lost a lot of its murderous aura, and has regained a touch of elegance.
Bao Zheng walked to the huge bronze bell, reached for a small hammer and struck it several times. After a while, the courtyard door of Cuiweiju opened slightly, revealing a beautiful little girl dressed in white.Fang Qing has already stood by the door.
Fang Qing said with a smile: "It turns out that Young Master Bao is here. Please come inside and talk about it. Master is sitting in meditation in the meditation hall. If Young Master is interested, you can go and listen to Master's knowledge of transformation."
Bao Zheng knew that Cui Wei was a Taoist and must have been studying the theory of changes in yin and yang. Bao Zheng was also extremely curious about these ancient things. At that moment, Bao Zheng nodded and let Fang Qing lead him into the courtyard. After a while, Bao Zheng came to a quiet and elegant two-story quiet hall. When Fang Qing arrived downstairs, he said, "Master is sitting quietly watching the lake on the second floor. Mr. Bao just goes up there."
Bao Zheng knew that Cui Wei definitely didn¡¯t want to be disturbed by too many people, so he immediately asked Bao Yi to find a place to wait for him. He went up the stairs alone, and after a while he arrived at the quiet hall on the second floor.
When Bao Zheng walked into the Jingtang, the first thing he saw was Fairy Cuiwei sitting in the middle of the circular Jingtang. The Jingtang is surrounded by walls on three sides. There are many wonderful paintings on the walls. Bao Zheng knew at a glance that they were all painted by Cuiwei's hand. However, the side facing the lake was empty. At a glance, Cuiwei Lake seemed to rush into his eyes. The scenery here is so real. So beautiful!
Cui Wei now stretched out her slender right hand and pointed at the futon opposite her and said: "Since Mr. Bao is here, please sit down! The quiet hall is simple, and Mr. Bao can only make do with one or two."
Bao Zheng immediately followed suit and sat on the futon. Cui Wei didn't say anything else, she just closed her eyes, turned to face Cui Wei Lake, and sat down quietly! Seeing that Cuiwei was silent, Bao Zheng didn't want to disturb the quiet atmosphere at this time, so he closed his eyes and sat quietly facing Cuiwei Lake.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Perhaps in the midst of the hustle and bustle, one can truly find peace and tranquility in his heart. After a while, Bao Zheng felt that his mood had become much lighter.
Bao Zheng felt Cui Wei had stood up at this time, and then slowly opened his eyes. Cui Wei brought a one-foot-high coffee table from the side and placed it in the open space between Bao Zheng and herself. Cui Wei picked up the porcelain pot on the coffee table, gave Bao Zheng and herself a cup of tea, and then made a gesture of inviting them.
Bao Zheng picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, only to feel a slight bitterness in his mouth. Cui Wei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Master Bao, what do you think of this tea?"
"It's a little bitter!" Bao Zheng said truthfully.
"This is the tea tree I planted myself, and the tea I made myself." Cui continued with a smile.
"Fairy Cuiwei, you are outstanding in everything, but this tea is really bad." Bao Zheng did not compliment Cuiwei, but still told the truth.
"Mr. Bao speaks very frankly!" Cuiwei filled up tea for Bao Zheng at this time. She still seemed to be in a good mood and was not affected by Bao Zheng in the slightest.
Bao Zheng picked up the tea cup and took another sip, and said with a smile: "If Bao Zheng doesn't speak straightly, he can't be regarded as Bao Zheng. However, the fairy's cup of tea tastes a bit bitter, but when he tastes it, he can feel a little sweet. meaning."
"Tell me! Why did you come to Cuiwei's residence this time?" Cuiwei did not answer Bao Zheng's words, but asked about Bao Zheng's purpose. At this time, she was still smiling. Bao Zheng remembered that when he first met Cui Wei, he felt that she was more bland than Jingzhen Fairy Fang Lingmei, as bland as peony! At this time, I saw Cui's smile, which was beautiful, but it seemed like a peony.
Bao Zheng looked at Cui Wei for a moment and then said: "Actually, Bao originally wanted to find the whereabouts of Princess Lan, because she is related to the lives of Bao and Xianxian."
Cui Wei smiled and said: "You and my disciple Dong Xianxian have both been poisoned by the love poison. Ling Mei has already told me."
Bao Zheng didn't expect that Cui Wei didn't look worried about him, and immediately said with a somewhat lonely look: "Bao is grateful that he will die soon, but he laments that there is not much time left to make achievements and make his name go down in history. I feel so sorry for Bao Zheng's second Character!"
Only he can understand Bao Zheng's emotion. Only a time traveler like him can understand the trouble of being a celebrity but doing nothing.
"Ling Mei has told me that all your love poisons can be cured. She also specially asked for a Snow Lotus Biluo Dan from me. Ling Mei knows the poison well. Since she said it can be cured, you don't need to I feel sad that my life will soon be over." Cui Wei still smiled.
After listening to Cui Wei¡¯s words, Bao Zheng realized that Yu Xi did not lie to him, but why didn¡¯t she tell him the antidote? Thinking of these, Bao Zheng became even more confused.
" Bao Zheng saw that Cui Wei definitely didn't know the real and detailed detoxification method, so he didn't ask questions. Since he knew that he could still live, he should continue to fight for his name in history.
Bao Zheng immediately said: "Since the fairy has given Bao Zheng hope for life, Bao Zheng wants to discuss the current political situation between the government and the opposition with the fairy. If the fairy can?Some advice may help Bao Zheng better grasp his future. "
After hearing what Bao Zheng said, Cuiwei immediately smiled and said: "Bao Zheng, you want me to talk about Liu Mei!"
Bao Zheng didn¡¯t expect that Cuiwei would think of going together with him without even mentioning it.
Cui Wei continued at this time: "Now that the conspiracy has been broken, the eighth prince and Liu Mei are the most difficult to deal with in the government. But Liu Mei's backstage is the current queen, who is the biological mother of the prince Zhao Zhen. Bao Zheng, if you want If you are on your way to success and will do a better job for the people in the future, Liu Mei will definitely not be offended."
"What if Liu Mei does all kinds of evil? Are we going to let him do whatever he wants?" Bao Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Cui Wei looked at Bao Zheng for a moment and then said: "As long as Queen Liu is here, you must be patient. The prince is the queen's son after all. Even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, as a minister, you still can't think of going against the queen. Now that the prince is young Young, the Holy Emperor is seriously ill and will not recover. If the prince ascends the throne at a weak age, the government will definitely fall into the hands of the queen."
Cui Wei said this with a look of loneliness in her eyes. Bao Zheng knew that as Zhao Heng's daughter, she must be worried about her father's health, but she lacked identity and could not reveal all this.
Bao Zheng said seriously at this time: "The reason Liu Mei has such a special status is because the queen is the prince's biological mother. But what if the queen is not the prince's biological mother at all? Will the situation be different?"
Bao Zheng¡¯s words sounded a bit treasonous. Cui Wei said seriously: ¡°Bao Zheng! What do you mean by this?¡±
Bao Zheng said calmly: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just stating a fact."
Cui Wei was slightly surprised and said: "Bao Zheng, letting outsiders know what you said is a serious crime of beheading. You said that the queen is not the prince's biological mother, is there any evidence? If not, it is better to say less in the future."
"Bao Zheng continued: "Bao has no evidence, but I'm sure what I said is true. I will also work tirelessly to find evidence. If I find evidence, it will alarm the world."
Cui Wei looked at Bao Zheng¡¯s sincere eyes and seemed to begin to believe that what Bao Zheng said was true. But what Bao Zheng said was so unbelievable.
