Chapter 1 Tokyo Elegance
During the Zhenghe period of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is an early spring full of flowers.

On the East Gate Street of Daxiangguo Temple, shops selling Futou, belts, books, and crown ornaments on both sides put their goods out of the door one after another. This look was taken away by the beautifully dressed young lady, and then fled back into the shop under the loud yelling of the shopkeeper.

Ding's Vegetable Tea Shop, a well-known shop in Tokyo, during the opening hours of Daxiangguo Temple five days a month, the business is booming like a raging fire. There is a strange incident about General Mian Nie's night attack on Kunlun Pass.

In the best position in the front row, a young man was reclining on a hardwood folding chair brushed with tung oil. The young man was wearing a white jade-inlaid gold crown and a silver cloak with round flowers. He had red lips and white teeth and was extremely handsome. He was tight, and he didn't have a good sitting position. After a section of the book was over, he stretched himself out, said "reward", stood up and walked out the door.

The young man had a few followers, and the first square-faced man put copper coins on the old man's table expressionlessly, turning a deaf ear to the words of gratitude from his grandfather and grandson, and followed the young man out of the house.

The young man stood on the street, looked around, the crowds were bustling, the road was full of flowers, the brocade was luxuriant, Luo Qi was fragrant, his heart was calm, suddenly he laughed out loud, and turned his hands towards the crowd. Go to the east gate of Xiangguo Temple.

"Little Xianggong, why don't you go through the main entrance?" The square-faced man had already followed up, half-bending his hulking body, and asked respectfully.

The young man still walked slowly, looking while walking, and finally said after a long time: "Look, you have to look everywhere, this prosperous world is so beautiful, if you don't look at the future, you may not see it."

The man stretched out his hand and scratched his head. Although he was a military officer, he could read and write. He also wrote a few poems with loose rhythm and incomplete rhymes, but for some reason, he couldn't understand the words of the young man.

"Fighting from all directions, connecting all nations, gathering the treasures of the four seas, and the smell of the Huanhuan District, it is really prosperous!" The young man smiled, and the topic suddenly changed: "I don't know where Zhang Zeduan's painting of Shanghe during the Qingming Festival is. But it’s so wonderful, after you go back, find him and take a closer look.”

"Young Master's words are very true." The square-faced man hastily agreed.

Dongmen Street is full of people at the moment, even though the peddlers on the street are hoarse, they can't hide the joy on their faces, touching the hard currency in the money fork, thinking about how to give it to the little widow on the other side of the wall after closing the stall. Buy two taels of gouache, as for my wife, I can save it.

On the road, Dalang in commoner clothes held a bamboo dragonfly and held a willow leaf in his mouth. He turned around and looked around, smelling the fragrance, and then came to the side of the single girl. Ken left until Chong Kuo paid the bill for the young lady, only to find that the purse was missing, and then panicked and jumped up and down to look for the thief, but the young lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief and walked away with a smile.

The officials and ladies of the wealthy family are in twos and threes, bringing slaves and servants. The officials specially put flowers on their ears, straightened their backs, and their eyes are agile. , even if the lady twisted her waist hard, she still felt no pain.

The boy didn't walk fast, he came to the east gate of Xiangguo Temple and watched for a while, then walked in slowly.

The temple is very vast, with many stalls and many tourists. Visitors are dazzled by all kinds of items, and those who come from other places are even more dumbfounded.

The young man walked and watched, and unknowingly stepped through the second door. The inside is even more exciting. The things sold are all things from Tokyo's time-honored brands, Meng's Dao crown, Wang Daoren's candied fruit, Zhao Wenxiu's pen, Pan Gu's ink There are ingots, and the corridors on both sides are more embroidered, forehead wipes, velvet flowers, headgear, and novelty ornaments inlaid with gold thread and colored silk.

The boy didn't enter the Buddhist hall, so he spent money to buy a purse embroidered with pelicans on a water-blue background, and wandered towards the back of the hall.

At the back of the main hall, next to the Zisheng Gate, there are bookstalls, calligraphy and paintings and all kinds of rare playthings, and even some not-so-authentic spices, old medicines with exaggerated years, and not high-quality native products among the states. Shaking his head vigorously.

He picked and bought a few things, then passed the fortune-telling booths and the portrait tables on both sides, and continued walking with the flow of people.

The young man seemed to be in a good mood, although he stopped and went, he was not bored, and the next moment he passed Zhihai, Huilin, Baofan, Hesha and other Buddhist monasteries, made a small circle, and went out through the east gate as before.

At this moment, the square-faced man asked respectfully, "Isn't the young gentleman not enjoying himself to the fullest?"

The young man glanced at him with a half-smile: "What does Deputy Tan have to say?"

The square-faced man crossed his hands and said, "Little Master, today is 28, and it is Dongyue Rensheng's birthday. If you want to come to the Yue Temple, it will be very lively. Just walking there will inevitably tire your waist."

The young man said: "But it doesn't matter. I'm a bit tired of sedan chairs and horses today. What's more, after passing Panlou East Street, we will arrive at Suanzao Gate."

The square-faced man hurriedly said "yes".

The corner of the young man's mouth curled up slightly and he said, "I heard that Vice Envoy Tan is proficient in writing and ink, and his fists and feet are very good, but Yu Huangcheng is wronged. Now the Imperial City Secretary is not as good as Zhenzong Renzong's time. Who can offend the current full of civil and military officials?" ?”

The square-faced man chuckled twice, bowed and said: "Young Master's words are very true, the ancestors of the subordinates have always served in the imperial army, and they have really failed to achieve anything in this generation, so they were taken to the Imperial City Division, and they have suffered so much. "

The young man smiled and said: "Now the envoys of the imperial city have all been reduced to high-ranking officials, and there is still the position of acting as the imperial city secretary, but it doesn't matter if you don't do it. Since you have gone through the door of Tong Shumi, you plan to worship under me, but you have already made up your mind. decided?"

The square-faced man lowered his brows and said, "I'm all sent by my lord, and I'm loyal, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other."

The young man looked at him and said: "It's still early, go to Panlou Street for dinner, and then go to Yuemiao."

A group of people left Daxiangguo Temple and walked north, passing by Panloujie Road. After eating and drinking, they came to Yuemiao after a short time.

This Yue Temple in Tokyo is more often called Taishan Temple by the common people. During the reign of Zhenzong Xiangfu, the God of Mount Tai was granted the title of Holy King of Dongyue Tianqiren, and later he was honored as Dongyue Tianqiren Holy Emperor. This temple was built at that time.

Although Yue Temple is far less lively than Daxiangguo Temple, it is still bustling with people at the moment. The young man walked and watched, and soon came to the vicinity of Wuyue Tower.

The boy suddenly said, "Why is there so much noise in front?"

The square-faced man looked intently, and saw several people standing at the railing downstairs, each holding a slingshot, blowing tube, and sticky stick, winking. In the middle stood a young man in a floral robe, with a crooked hat and flowers in his ears. , with open neckline, was blocking a woman's way, and said with a smile:

"Little lady, go upstairs, I want to have a good talk with you."

The woman does not seem to be more than double ten years old, but her hair is knotted in a bun, her eyebrows are slender and picturesque, her eyes are like spring water, her nose is sandalwood, her chin is pointed, her shoulders are soft, her posture is slender, but she is already Xia Xia at this time Flying his cheeks, he said: "Qingping the world, what is the reason to molesting my beloved?"

The square-faced man saw it clearly, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Young Master, he is Gao Qi's daughter-in-law. His name is Gao Kan, and he is called Gao Shide. Call him Gao Ya Nei."

Hearing this, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Gao Qiu has three parents and children, why do you accept him?"

The square-faced man was stunned, and said, "This... this subordinate doesn't know."

The young man said again: "The government has rectified the two divisions and three offices, reset the guards and the army division, and ordered me to promote it, and share the power with the front division in charge of Gao Qiu. At present, the division has not been established, and the government office will be distributed by the household department." Afterwards, it is inevitable to repeat the affairs of the former secretary, this Gao Qiu may have complaints."

"This..." the square-faced man said with a sneer: "The left and right are the family affairs of the young man, how dare that guy complain. Although the two divisions and the three offices are in charge of similar affairs, at this time the young man must be the main one."

The young man smiled slightly: "In the third year of Taizu Jianlong, after Shi Shouxin, Duke of the State of Wei, resigned as the commander of the Guards and Pro-Army, the Guards and Pro-Army Division no longer had a leader, and was only managed by Duke Yu. In the second year of Jingde, Duke of Lu Wang Chao was dismissed from his post as Marquis of Yu, and there was no one to return to his post, so the Sima Army and the infantry of the bodyguards were divided into two, and from then on, the Mabu Second Army was placed under the Sima in front of the palace."

The square-faced man scratched his head and said, "Young Master is knowledgeable and extensive, and my subordinates admire him."

The young man shook his head and said: "Now the government has resettled the commander of the guards and the army commander, and I am in control of both the Mabu and the second office, but in turn overwhelmed the head of the palace commander. It is impossible for Gao Qiu to have no resentment in his heart. .”

The square-faced man said: "Young Master, why should you care about it? If that guy refuses to accept it, just find a reason to beat him on the head."

The corner of the boy's mouth curled up, and he suddenly looked forward and said, "It's a bit inconspicuous!"

The square-faced man followed the young man's eyes, but saw that Gao Ya Nei's eyes were shining, and he was whispering in a chaotic tone, talking and chattering. Although the girl dodged left and right, she was a weak girl after all, how could she? Surrounded by these rascals, there was a look of fear on his face, and he was about to cry on the spot.

"Little Xianggong, I want my subordinates to go forward..." A ruthless look flashed across the face of the square-faced man, and several guards behind the young man also took a step forward.

The young man pondered for a while, nodded, and the square-faced man couldn't help but let go of his voice and shouted: "That's so brave. In the peaceful and prosperous age, he dared to moles a good woman like this!"

He yelled quite loudly, and immediately alarmed the gangsters to look over, but Gao Yanei was fascinated, and without turning his head, he just cursed: "Where did you come from? Dare to take care of grandpa's affairs, go to me. Beat this fellow!"

The young man frowned slightly when he heard the words, and the square-faced man caught this change, and his expression changed immediately, with a look of ferocity on his face, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a rare soft sword from his waist. Stretched straight, he was about to step forward, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a person pierced through the diagonal stab!
 The new book is released, I hope that new and old book friends will support a lot, Zi Zi is very grateful.
