Song Gexing

Chapter 86

Half a month later, the new military system came into effect. Zhe Jizu was awarded the rank of Qianhu and returned to the Western Army. Zhonge and Yao Si were awarded the rank of deputy Qianhu and returned to the Western Army for training.

Only Yao Lin still stayed with Zhao Fang. Why did this guy never pass the exam? He had been unable to memorize one of the three military books Zhao Fang had asked for after so many years.

Liu Jisun and Yan Jidao both took part in the Jinshi imperial examination this year, just in the past two days.

Among the people who had been with Zhao Fang since childhood, Yao Lin was now the only one, which made him extremely depressed.

When the imperial examination ended in February, Yan Jidao was still the same Yan Jidao. He was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of 14, ranking much higher than the 19-year-old Liu Jisun.

At the same time, Zhao Fang's ban was finally lifted a year ahead of schedule. From February of the eighth year of the Qing Dynasty to now, he has been bored.

"Xiao Yao, hurry up and start walking towards Baifanlou!"

In order to celebrate his new life, Zhao Fang sent someone to book a private room at Baifan Building early, just in time to celebrate Yan Jidao and Liu Jisun.

The 15-year-old Zhao Fang no longer wanted to ride in a car, and riding a tall horse made Yao Lin very sad. Fortunately, Li Deyong came back a year ago and sent the Li sisters over as bodyguards.

The four dancing girls from the Western Regions had also learned martial arts and could act as guards, which made Yao Lin relieved.

The four dancers Zhao Fang all had Han Chinese names, named after the four characters Miao, Rou, Mei, Yan and Yan. They have been integrated into the Wei Palace and have been recognized by everyone.

"Who is this? There are eight people and eight horses. Whose husband is so rich?"

"Wow! There are four more girls."

"Hey! It seems that these four women are not from Song Dynasty!"

Surprised murmurs kept coming and going, horses were not allowed in Bianjing, so Zhao Fang and his party rode their horses for a jog, which naturally attracted many curious eyes.

Sisters Li Qingyu and Li Hongyu were dressed in men's clothes, so it was hard to tell the difference between Dangxiang people and Song people.

But those four beauties from the Western Region couldn't wear men's clothes, and their looks were different, so they attracted too many curious eyes at once.

In fact, it's not that all women from the Western Regions can't dress up as men, but these four can't. Firstly, they are beautiful, and secondly, they are plump and soft, and wearing men's clothes is even weirder.

They were originally dancers, and the dances of the Western Regions are suitable for plump bodies to be graceful, so they cannot lose weight.

Zhao Fang didn't want them to tie their chests, so as not to affect his food rations, so it was naturally not suitable for them to wear men's clothes if they were heavy.

Hearing the whispers, Zhao Fang was not annoyed at all but very happy, because this showed that many people did not recognize him.

From a half-grown child to the handsome boy he is now, his appearance has not changed much in two years, but it is difficult to recognize him at once if you are not someone you often come into contact with.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Baifan Tower, he walked all the way into the box. The people he passed by who were talking loudly just glanced at him and stopped paying attention.

This gave him an idea, and if he hadn't needed to make a careful calculation, he would have cheered now.

Soon after, Yan Jidao and Liu Jisun came hand in hand, and they seemed to have drunk.

Sure enough, after asking, it became clear that these two brothers were dragged by their classmates and drank a lot. If Yan Jidao hadn't been a teenager, I might not be able to leave now.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, just now Jing Wen said that you don't want to use Prime Minister Yan's favor and want to take a post somewhere?"

After hearing the news, Zhao Fang, who was drunk and full of wine, sighed secretly and asked a question.

This is the case in history. Yan Jidao, who was arrogant and arrogant, did not bother to use his father's power to seek a good official position and went to Xutian Town, Yingchang Prefecture to become a minor official.Yan Jidao won the Jinshi at the age of 14, but he was not among the top three and could not stay in Bianjing as usual.

But with his family background, Yan Shu is still in the position of prime minister, seeking a good position, and no one will say anything.

But this guy just has a stubborn temper. He thinks it's shameful to rely on his parents. How can a man rely on his parents? It's not like he squats down to pee.

Sure enough, Yan Jidao, who was already drunk, still answered firmly when he heard his question: "Your Majesty, your Majesty... please don't persuade me... I, I don't need... I don't need... "

With a "plop", his face came into close contact with the table, and the sound of a deep sleep followed.

Zhao Fang shook his head helplessly and ordered to get the hangover soup. Then he looked at Liu Jisun and said, "Jing Wen, don't imitate his bad temper. If there is a place you want to go, tell me."

Liu Jisun hesitated and said: "Everyone knows that Jisun is a member of the king's family. If he is not appointed as an official according to the court rules, some people may slander the king's name, so it is better for the king not to worry about it. Furthermore, Jisun is already an official, so he does not worry that his family is small and helpless. Your Majesty, it’s better not to interfere.”

Zhao Fang glared at him angrily, but he had an honest and humble look on his face, looking at him and smiling foolishly, which made him unable to get out of his anger.

"Okay, okay, I don't care, just leave it alone."

This is really not Liu Jisun's pretense, his character is exactly like this. A military general later became a literary scholar, and he became good friends with Su Shi in history, which shows that his character is not bad.

Of course Zhao Fang also knew his temperament, but he was just unhappy. No matter what, these two people were his own companions. Even if they were cared for, the ministers had nothing to say.

But one of them was arrogant and the other insisted on being a gentleman. He had no choice but to drag Yao Lin to drink to relieve his boredom.

"Hey! This is the song of colorful feathers."

Suddenly, a burst of pipa sound came, and Rou Niang made a surprised sound, which made Zhao Fang startled.

"It's true, but apart from the palace, this song can only be played in the introduction section."

Zhao Fang was also surprised. The legend of Nishang Yuyiqu was created by Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan in the Tang Dynasty, and had been lost by the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Later, the Xiaozhou Empress of Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty re-completed the book based on the incomplete ancient genealogy, and it was included in the Song Dynasty Palace and was not spread outside.

Song Yinzhang was obsessed with music, especially pipa music. Most of the music was played by pipa, so Zhao Fang found her and asked her to learn to play.

I didn't expect to hear this music here today, and it was played by the pipa.

"Go see who's playing."

Now Zhao Fang was not only curious, but also very interested. He got up and went out, but he still remembered to tell Liu Jisun to stay and look after Yan Jidao, who was like a drunk cat.

A group of people went out and walked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, and were stopped outside a box.

"Everyone stop!"

Seven or eight strong men dressed in bunts looked like slave guards, and they didn't dare to overdo it when they saw them coming, but the arrogance on their brows was also obvious.

Zhao Fang didn't care and asked with a smile: "I wonder which yamen is here? I have never heard this song. Can I ask what it is?"

One of those people, who seemed to be the leader, laughed and said: "If the officials want to listen to the music, just stand and listen. As for the nobles inside, don't ask."
