The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

After spending a few leisurely days in Green Willow Village, Zhao Tong took Xiao Min into the city for a stroll.

Originally, I wanted to find two maids to serve her in Yahang, but Green Willow Village is a relatively sensitive place with many secrets and it is always inconvenient for outsiders, so I had to give up in the end.

Xiao Min didn't care about this. After playing in the city for a few days, he was worried that something would go wrong if Zhao Tong was not allowed to return to the house for a long time, so he urged him to go back and take a look.

Zhao Tong left Yue Fei and Ouyang Bei to guard Zhuangzi, and in the evening, he quietly entered the palace through the back door.

Went to the mother-in-law's room first. She was startled, and she patted her chest and said, "Why is your husband coming back so late? I thought there was a thief, and I was about to call someone..."

Zhao Tong smiled and said nothing, stretched out his arms to hug her, feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, and whispered: "Is there anything happening in the house during this time?"

The young lady thought about it: "On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sage sent his servant to come and give him something as a reward. The girl in plain clothes pretended to be her husband and got cold, so she lay on the bed and pretended to be sick to respond."

Zhao Tong said: "Is there any flaw?"

The girl shook her head and said, "That's not true."

Zhao Tong said: "What's the news from the old man?"

The young lady glanced at him and whispered: "No, the official has never called her husband."

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "That's good. I'll stay here tonight and won't show up for the time being. Let Gao Chong Suyi and the others take charge of the affairs of the house for a while."

The young lady said: "My husband wants to..."

Zhao Tong said: "It's okay for you and me. Let's use a weak point to get out and see how the palace reacts."

The young lady was silent. She didn't understand these things, so it was hard to talk about them. She was a bad person. At this moment, she gently pressed her face against Zhao Tong's chest, hugged him with both hands, and closed her eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Tong lowered his body and put his arm around her legs. He picked her up and walked towards the bed. The young lady murmured: "What are you going to do, husband..."

Zhao Tong said: "It's easier to talk when you lie down, Zhenniang, why don't you ask me what I've been doing these days?"

The girl put her hands around his neck: "My husband must have something important to do."

Zhao Tong paused and said, "I'll tell you."

Lying on the couch, he told exactly what he was going to do in Liao Kingdom. After listening to it, the young lady blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Since you are the princess, why don't you take your husband to your house?"

Zhao Tao narrowed his eyes: "I only want to tell you about this matter. Although Yuan Nu's side is fine, Xiu Niang must not let her know. If she really takes over the house, once she knows the identity of the other princess , I don’t know what ideas I will come up with.”

The young lady said: "I see that Xiu Niang is living a peaceful life. She reads and paints every day. She also teaches me some of my shortcomings in music, or coaxes Xi'er to have fun. It's not like what my husband said."

Zhao Tong remained calm when he heard this: "You are being cautious. Why don't I know Xiu Niang? How could she let it go? I'm afraid she will have to compete with me for the rest of her life. The more she reads, the deeper her thoughts become. Don't believe Zhen Niang."

The young lady hesitated to speak, and finally hugged Zhao Tong's arms silently, and against the moonlight outside the window, the two of them gradually fell asleep...

The next day, Zhao Tong went to Qingliang Hall alone, bypassed the patrolling guards, and came to the gate of the hall to see Wu Xiaodao guarding him.

Wu Xiaodao was surprised when he saw him: "When will the prince come back?"

Zhao Tong made a gesture of silence, and then said: "Don't tell others about it first, just let me relax for a few days and just come here to practice my martial arts."

Wu Xiaodao said yes. When he saw Zhao Tong entering the palace, he hurriedly closed the door and his eyes were even wider than usual.

Zhao Tong still looked at the second stone wall. In the first one, he realized a martial art and named himself Dahai Wuliang. This second one, he thought, should also be related to the sea water. After all, the entire stone wall was about the sea.

It's just that this second picture has whales and rain. The picture looks like a picture of whales fighting against the wind and rain, but inside it is actually a picture of the sea resisting the sky. The sea uses its own strength to fight against the lawless wind and rain of the God.

Zhao Tong sat on the chair and looked at it for a long time with his chin in his hand. Before going to Liao Kingdom, he had spent a long time studying here and discovered some clues. The more he looked at it, the more he gained.

There are three murals: the first is a picture of waves on the sea, the second is a picture of whales fighting in wind and rain, and the third is a picture of Kun carrying the common people.

Each picture should be a martial arts move, so what move should this second picture be?
The first picture is the boundless sea, the second picture...

Zhao Tong rested his head on the back of the chair. At this time, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that it was already noon, and his wife quietly came over to deliver food to him.

After eating, he continued to study the details, and he did not leave the hall until the sky was full of stars and moon.

There were no candles lit in the hall at this moment, there was only a faint light coming from outside, and the picture on the stone wall was no longer clearly visible. Zhao Tong leaned on his chair, as if sleeping but not waking up, and the night passed in the blink of an eye.

In this way, he stayed in the hall for three days and three nights, and finally went out on the morning of the fourth day.

After going out, he immediately asked Wu Xiaodao to call Zhou Chu. Zhou Chu was equally surprised to see him and didn't know when he would come back.

After secretly explaining some things to Zhou Chu, two days later, someone suddenly came outside the door of the palace. It was actually a eunuch from the palace who came to read out the decree of the Emperor Daojun.

Jian Suyi still pretended to be Zhao Tong in the bedroom, pretending to be ill. After listening to the imperial edict, nothing happened, except that Emperor Daojun had recently made a picture and wanted Zhao Tong to write a poem according to the picture.

Jian Suyi was naturally good at imitating other people's voices. After agreeing on the couch, the eunuch left the scroll and left immediately.

Seeing the eunuch walking away, she stood up and came to the table, looking at the picture and frowning.

Although he was born into a family of officials and had been reading and writing since he was a child, his ability to write lyrics was not as good as that of Zhao Tong, so he couldn't help but feel troubled.

She hurriedly went to Zhang Xian Gao Chong to discuss countermeasures. The two of them had a headache when they heard that they had to write lyrics. They could be careless about other things, but how could they do this?What's more, when it comes to lyrics and music, who can imitate Zhao Tong's literary talent!

Emperor Daojun asked him to send it back in three days. For a while, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

In desperation, Jian Suyi took the two of them to find her mother, but she had already been notified by Zhao Tong, so she said that if she couldn't do it, she would just go outside and ask for a song.

When the three heard this, they felt that this was the only way to do it, so they hurried out of the house to find someone.Zhao Tong saw the three of them leaving, and smiled from inside: "You don't have any brains, I really want to go out to ask for words, and beg you to come back so that your secret will be different!"

The young lady complained: "If Mr. Lang hadn't asked Zhou Chu to spread the word that you were not in the house, then even if the officials really asked you to write lyrics, you might not be found out if you went out to ask for it."

Zhao Tong said: "If the news hadn't been spread, how could the old man have thought that I wasn't in the house, and how could he have sent someone to test me?"

The young lady said, "But why didn't Mr. Lang tell Su Yi and the others the truth, so as to save them from being so panicked?"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "None of them are good at acting. If they know that I am in the house and feel confident, how can they be panicked when they go out? How can they deceive the old man?"

The young lady said, "I really don't know why Mr. Lang is bothering me like this."

Zhao Tong looked at her, his expression gradually becoming complicated, and he slowly said: "Of course it's for future consideration, but for now..."

Emperor Daojun was sitting behind the Imperial Bookcase, listening to the eunuchs in front of him reporting the details of the decree from Prince Qin's palace.

After hearing this, he couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing: "It seems that the information from the Imperial City Division is true. This second son... is most likely not in the mansion."

The eunuch below did not dare to answer, and Emperor Daojun suddenly snorted coldly: "Isn't it sinful to be confined in the house and go out without permission?"

The eunuch remained silent and buried his head deeply.

Emperor Daojun said to himself: "Second brother, second brother, I told you to plot everything and disobey my orders. Now you run away privately and are caught by me. Let's see what you have to say!"

"Go and order the Imperial City Secretary to send additional personnel to monitor the surroundings of Prince Qin's Mansion, and report any movement immediately!"

The eunuch below murmured: "Yes, the official family."

Emperor Daojun touched the Chilong paperweight on the case, and said deeply: "If the King of Qin comes back from abroad, he will block it immediately and report to me."

The eunuch took the order and went down. The more Emperor Taojun thought about it, the happier he felt. He couldn't help but slap the table and said to Gong'e: "Bring me one bet of my little orange, no, two bets for me to drink!"

Zhao Kai was very excited at this moment. He promoted the Imperial City Division and had been sending people to secretly monitor the Prince of Qin's mansion. Two days ago, someone suddenly sent a letter saying that he had heard the news and that the Prince of Qin was not in the mansion.

He was half-convinced that he was guilty of leaving the house during the lockdown. He didn't quite believe that Zhao Tong would make such a well-known mistake, but since he had heard about it and couldn't miss it, he hurriedly reported it to Emperor Daojun.

Then Emperor Daojun sent someone to test it, and then issued an order to strictly monitor the palace of Prince Qin. He also said that he saw Prince Qin coming back from outside and blocked it.

Zhao Kai was overjoyed at his death. This was because Emperor Daojun also suspected that his second son was no longer in the house. He hurriedly asked the eunuch who passed the order to find out. It turned out that Zhao Kai had not seen him in person. He only said that he was ill and could not get up from his bed. Zhao Kai knew Zhao Tong is proficient in bow and horse, as well as boxing and kicking martial arts, so there is no way he could suffer from any illness and be unable to recover.

From this point of view, this second brother must be no longer in the house!

Zhao Kai was excited. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize the second child's flaw, so he personally took people over to monitor him.

As expected, it didn't take long for someone from the Prince of Qin's Palace to come out to visit famous people in the capital to ask for words. He sent people to follow and inquire secretly, got a rough idea, and then reported to Emperor Daojun.

Emperor Daojun nodded and smiled after hearing this. As expected, there was no one in Lao Er's house who could write lyrics, so he went out to ask for help.

But do you want to get away with it?

At this moment, he felt like he had a winning chance. This was a situation that rarely happened when facing the second child. He was determined to send someone directly to Prince Qin's Mansion to expose the truth now, but the other party claimed that he was ill in bed, and he had no conclusive evidence here. , but it is not easy to act directly.

Since the fake person in the palace has agreed to write the lyrics, once it is ready and sent to the palace, he can directly prove the authenticity of the lyrics, and then send people to the Prince of Qin's Palace to arrest some people and punish the fake one. For the crime of deceiving the emperor, when the second brother comes back, he will also be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!
The more Emperor Daojun thought about it, the happier he became. After another discussion with Zhao Kai, he ordered him to continue sending more manpower and to keep an eye on the surroundings of Prince Qin's palace. If there was any trouble, he would be notified immediately.

Three days later, Emperor Daojun looked at the painting words that the eunuchs had retrieved from the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and said angrily: "Did the King of Qin himself write these words?"

Wherever the eunuch dared to respond, he kept kowtowing: "The officials calm down their anger. The officials calm down their anger. The humble slaves don't know. The humble slaves have never even seen His Highness's face. It was sent by the guards..."

Emperor Daojun stretched out his hand and pointed on the paper: "This word, this word is not even half of the style of writing, this... this is obviously fake!"

In fact, the words are good, but they really don't match up with Zhao Tan's writing style. Although Zhao Tan wrote some poems in his early years, most of them were rough and heroic. Later, he also wrote poems at home, and most of them were desolate and sentimental about the world. And this one in front of me, But it is a poem written by Huajian. It has a strong smell of makeup and powder, and at first glance it seems to be incompatible with Zhao Tong's writing style.

Emperor Daojun glanced at the scroll on the table, and asked Zhao Yu to write lyrics based on the painting. The painting was of autumn, with high clouds and pale sky, yellow trees and calm water, desolate and solemn scenery, and two wild geese flying south. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a poem between flowers. The Wanyue faction couldn't get along with Jie, and she was even more angry.

He knocked on the table hard and roared: "This handwriting is not the handwriting of King Qin. King Qin's pen is vigorous and powerful. Although it is still far from my Tianhe style, it is not comparable to this soft and waxy calligraphy!"

The eunuch didn't dare to speak, so Emperor Daojun said with a bulging belly: "Send me a message to the censor, Zhongcheng Qin Hui, to come over!"

The eunuch took the order and climbed out of the hall. More than half an hour later, Qin Hui entered the hall panting in official uniform.

Qin Hui's official career has been prosperous in the past few years, because his wife Wang's family is rich and well-connected. Not only can she run the business, but she also does not need to take bribes to accumulate property. Therefore, she also has a good reputation for being honest and incorruptible, which is favored by the Taojun and Emperor. He was promoted to the director of Yushitai.

But in fact, Qin Hui's official rank was not enough. He used his power to admonish the officials and perform the duties of the Yushi Zhongcheng. However, it was only a matter of time before he officially ascended the throne, so he was always called Yushi Zhongcheng.

Qin Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead to greet him. Emperor Daojun threw the paper with the lyrics on his hand and said: "The King of Qin left the palace during the period of confinement and disappeared. Someone in the palace pretended to be the King of Qin and wrote the poems, and deceived the King. You take people to check it out, everything is done in accordance with the law and there must be no mistakes!"

When Qin Hui heard this, he felt mixed with joy and sorrow. He naturally hated Zhao Tao. At the celebration banquet for returning to Huaixi, he was severely beaten by Zhao Tao. Not only was he humiliated, but he also had to lie on the bed for three months. Before I could get up, several ribs were broken.

Now that he heard that Zhao Tong made a mistake, he was naturally happy. Leaving the mansion during this period of confinement was a big deal, and as a prince leaving the mansion without a trace, it was even more mistakes. It seemed that he would definitely be involved in this big crime this time. To avenge the humiliation and beating he suffered at that time.

But what worries him is that this King of Qin is not a good person. Although he has a lot of poetry, he is also a violent man who kills people without batting an eye. He heard that in Square La, there was a bloody massacre in one city, killing hundreds of thousands of rebels. , the water of the Qiantang River was dyed red. Although he was not at home now, he went to arrest someone. What would he do if he found his house after he came back and started to use his hands and feet?
Qin Hui was beaten very hard last time, and now when he thought about it, Qin Hui still felt some pain.

"Hurry up and go!" Emperor Daojun saw him in a daze and shouted with a stern face.

Seeing that Emperor Daojun was angry, Qin Hui immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I accept the decree!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the palace and returned to the Yushitai. He went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to investigate and arrest people. He was not the one who could do it. He hurriedly called all the six supervisory censors from the Procuratorate, and went to the Tai Prison to transfer some. With the manpower, he went straight to Prince Qin's Mansion.
