Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Royal palace, royal garden.  The Royal Garden is very lively, but for many people, this liveliness is an illusion and gives people a weird feeling.  Of course, it's not that someone is causing trouble in the Imperial Garden, but because this is Concubine Zhang's birthday party, and many officials in the Song Dynasty do not think highly of Concubine Zhang, so their enthusiasm seems fake, and the reason why they must  Come here, just because of the rules.  Bao Zheng, Hwarang and Hwarang walked all the way on the streets of the capital, but this time it was surprisingly safe. No one wanted to kill Bao Zheng again. This made Hwarang and the others feel unreal. They were not familiar with Concubine Zhang.  , but they didn't think that Concubine Zhang would be someone who gave up easily.  Therefore, because they didn¡¯t encounter anything, Hwarang and Bao Zheng felt that the danger should be in the palace. Maybe Zhang Guifei had already set a trap and was just waiting for Bao Zheng and Hwarang to jump into it.  And the fact is that it is indeed the case. Concubine Zhang has already set a trap, waiting for Bao Zheng and Hwarang to jump in. Of course, to be precise, she may be waiting for Bao Zheng to jump in alone.  People were coming and going in the palace. Many palace maids and eunuchs were busy, arranging dishes and placing some necessary items. About noon, the ministers had almost arrived, and these ministers were in the eunuch.  Under the guidance of , people sat down one after another.  The emperor came with Concubine Zhang, but Empress Cao did not come. The specific reason should be understood without saying. Although Empress Cao will not cause trouble for Concubine Zhang, she will never attend a birthday banquet like this.  , women, especially women who share a man, must have some temperament.  The banquet was not in a hurry to start. After the emperor and Concubine Zhang sat down on the stage, a eunuch announced that the birthday banquet had started. However, when the eunuch said it had started, no one moved their chopsticks because gifts had to be given first.  Those who were attached to Concubine Zhang naturally prepared the gifts early, so as soon as the eunuch finished speaking, they immediately took out the rare treasures they had collected. Concubine Zhang accepted them one by one.  Such people who are attached to themselves will naturally be praised highly.  Although other officials did not like what Concubine Zhang did, she was the emperor's concubine after all, so she still had to give her face, so other officials also took out the gifts one after another. Some of these people's gifts were valuable.  Some of them just had a thought, so Zhang Guifei naturally accepted them one by one, but she already had a prejudice against these people in her heart. Those gifts that were expensive probably meant that she wanted to join Concubine Zhang. The gifts that seemed a little thin might just be for the occasion.  .  Bao Zheng gave a very ordinary hairpin. I don¡¯t know if it was because of Zhang Bu¡¯s incident, so he gave an ordinary hairpin to warn Concubine Zhang. When Concubine Zhang saw that Bao Zheng gave her a hairpin, she couldn¡¯t help but think of her brother.  Tragic death. Thinking of her brother's death, Concubine Zhang snorted coldly and actually broke Bao Zheng's hairpin in front of all the ministers.  Concubine Zhang left the hairpin on the ground and suddenly said to the emperor in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Bao, he is so bold. He actually gave me the hairpin to my concubine. I don't know what he had in mind. Could it be" At this point, Concubine Zhang said  His cheeks were slightly red, and he secretly glanced at Bao Zheng again.  Among the gifts sent by the ministers, no matter whether they were valuable or not, no one gave them hairpins, because they all felt that hairpins were inappropriate. How should hairpins be given? It should be given by a man to the woman he likes, or to someone in his own family.  A woman can give Zhang Guifei a hairpin. I'm afraid except for the emperor and her brother Zhang Bu, it would be a bit treasonous for any man to give a hairpin to her.  This was something Bao Zheng didn't expect, so he was taken advantage of by Zhang Guifei. Emperor Zhao Zhen naturally understood what Bao Zheng meant by giving the hairpin, and also knew how Zhang Guifei wanted to punish Bao Zheng, and he also felt that  This is an opportunity to teach Bao Zheng a lesson. He had always said in front of Concubine Zhang that he would help him teach Bao Zheng a lesson, but he had been suffering from no chance. Now this opportunity must not be missed.  But the emperor is the emperor after all, and he understands Bao Zheng, so even if it is a punishment, it is not a severe punishment. He glared at Bao Zheng and said: "Bao Aiqing, what is your purpose in giving Zhang Guifei the hairpin."  Bao Zheng already understood and said repeatedly: "Back to the emperor, Wei Chen just wanted to give the empress a gift. I didn't expect that the empress wouldn't like it. It's because Wei Chen didn't pay enough attention. Please punish me." With one sentence, Bao Zheng shifted the blame.  When the intention is not enough, and in this way, even if the emperor wants to punish him severely, I'm afraid he can't. After all, such a crime is too small.  The emperor had no choice but to snort coldly and said: "Since you know that you didn't pay enough attention when choosing the gift, then I have to punish you. I think this is it. I will punish you with a month's salary and give it all to my concubine.  , how about it?" Bao Zheng dared to refute, bowing his head and saying yes.  And Concubine Zhang here, when she saw the emperor, she justBao Zheng was fined a month's salary, and felt very unhappy. Although Bao Zheng was the governor of Kaifeng, how much a month's salary was, it was really not as valuable as a good hairpin.  When the ministers heard that the emperor wanted to punish Bao Zheng, they were worried and prepared to stand up and argue. However, when they heard that the penalty was only a month's salary, they suddenly understood that the emperor did not really want to punish Bao Zheng.  Others brought gifts one after another, and Hwarang also brought his own gift. Although it was very expensive, because of the close relationship between Hwarang and Bao Zheng, Concubine Zhang would not be stupid enough to think that Hwarang wanted to  Surrender to oneself.  Both Concubine Die and Concubine Ming also sent gifts, and they were very expensive gifts. It could almost be said that they were the most valuable gifts given to Concubine Zhang at the entire banquet, and they were the most suitable for Concubine Zhang. When Concubine Zhang saw those gifts,  , I couldn't help but understand the thoughts of these two concubines. Although Concubine Zhang was in a deep palace, she knew more or less about the situation of Concubine Die and Concubine Ming. Therefore, when she saw them giving such precious things, she felt in her heart  She couldn't help but feel happy, because these two concubines also had some strength in the court. If they could unite, Concubine Zhang might become Empress Zhang at some time.  Nodding with satisfaction, Concubine Zhang then acted coquettishly to the emperor and said that the banquet could be held.  Some ministers were already very hungry. As soon as they heard that the banquet was about to begin, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating. But while everyone was eating and drinking, the people who were delivering the food suddenly pulled out a knife from their sleeves and went crazy.  to kill the emperor.  It happened so suddenly. Someone shouted: "There is an assassin, protect the emperor." Then the whole banquet suddenly became chaotic.
