The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 132 Confusing the Lord’s Autocratic Power
The master of confusion has exclusive power.

It takes a lot of money to do these four things well, so how can we achieve this effect without spending any money?

At least, before she was still young, Liang Xin warned herself that she must do these four words to Zhao Ji.

After agreeing to give Li Qingzhao a few more Tao inkstones and agreeing to go with Zeng Bu when he ransacked his house, Li Qingzhao returned to his courtyard happily.

As they were walking towards the palace, Zhao Youfu was waiting on the other side of the stone bridge leading to the palace.

Liang Xin took the initiative to say hello: "Uncle Zhao, are you not in office today?"

Zhao Youfu grinned: "The Hehuang battle report has been delivered."

Liang Xin already knew the answer just by looking at Zhao Youfu's expression, but he still asked:

"how?"

Zhao Youfu took out the battle report and handed it to Liang Xin, and then said: "In the palace, Xiaokanzi, who was in charge of the imperial dining room, presented a new way of making chestnut cake, and the officials liked it very much. This miscellaneous slave actually went behind our backs and secretly I looked for an opportunity to offer it. Yesterday, someone added some ingredients to the chestnut cake, and the officials were furious. We are kind-hearted and sent him to wash the gold bucket."

Liang Xin smiled and nodded, and walked side by side to the palace with Zhao Youfu.

Liang Xin understands.

Zhao Youfu was telling him that anyone in this palace who wanted to bypass them and flatter Zhao Ji would risk his life.

At the same time, Liang Xin was reminded that anyone outside the palace who wanted to bypass them to flatter Zhao Ji would risk his life.

In this case, the person who best fits this suggestion right now is Gao Qiu.

Liang Xin heard it.

Gao Qiu is just a small person, and he is also a smart man. I believe Gao Qiu will not put his head under the edge of a knife.

Just as Liang Xin guessed.

Gao Qiu was standing about ten feet away in front of Zhao Ji's study door.

He is waiting for Liang Xin.

When Liang Xin arrived, Gao Qiu immediately came to greet him: "Your Majesty, I've been to see the new Cuju team organized by several honorable nobles. It's very good. I've just been recruited by the official family, so I asked you to ask about it." Ask, if the Jie Yuan examination questions for various painting and calligraphy subjects have been sent, I will wait for the master to make the decision."

Liang Xin nodded: "Let's take it easy. Let's go to Dianqiansi's school grounds and prepare before the Cuju competition. Even if the officials are not interested in watching today, they still have to be well prepared."

"Yes." Gao Qiu agreed, and then explained: "Your Majesty, regarding the interpretation of painting and calligraphy, the official family is..."

"I know, go ahead. I can rest assured that you can do the work." Liang Xin knew what Gao Qiu meant. Liang Shen was forced to fail the painting department by Zhao Ji, and Manbian Kyoto knew it.So Zhao Ji saw that Gao Qiu also knew some calligraphy and painting, so he asked Gao Qiu to do it.

Liang Shicheng was not in Beijing, and Zhao Youfu did not know calligraphy or painting.

Gao Qiu naturally had to explain a few words.

Zhao Ji's study.

Liang Xin entered, and there was a table in the middle of the study. On the table was a complete Tao inkstone the size of a watermelon. Eunuch Hai was kneeling on the mat beside the table. Zhao Ji was circling around the table, holding an inkstone in his hand. Pen, thinking about how to decompose this raw Tao inkstone.

Liang Xin arrived, stood at the table and waited for a while. When she saw Zhao Ji shook his head, put down the pen in his hand and stepped forward: "Guan family, Hehuang won a great victory, but the Lord of Qingtang City escaped before attacking the city. King Cao has accepted the surrender of Princess Kucha, who was brought to Gaotang by the Kucha Kingdom, and King Cao has already sent people to the Kucha Kingdom to discuss the matter of friendship."

Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at Liang Xin.

He was waiting, and Liang Xin told him what to do next.

Liang Xin said: "For matters in the court, Zhang Gong will naturally come up with reasonable suggestions to the officials. Now seven new Cuju teams have been organized in Bianjing City. I thought the one organized by the Charcoal Merchant Association was It's quite outstanding. I would like to ask you if we can take advantage of the great victory in Hehuang to hold a Bianjing Cuju Competition."

"Okay, very good."

Liang Xin: "Also, the officials are studying Tao inkstones in the study. I'm afraid they are tired. Do you want to go to the court to relax? The level of Cuju played by the palace guards is quite high. Let's talk to the charcoal merchant association first. Try it?"

Zhao Ji clapped his hands gently: "Now, give the order to change clothes immediately."

Liang Xin nodded towards Eunuch Hai, who saluted: "I beg you to leave." Change your clothes!

Liang Xin thought that Zhao Ji was going to watch the game, but she thought that Zhao Ji changed his clothes and planned to play football.

When walking out of the palace, Liang Xin quietly ordered: "Go and tell Gao Qiu immediately that the official family is leaving the field to play football."

New Cuju ball, new leather sneakers, only the jersey Liang Xin dare not change randomly, this is about etiquette.

Fortunately, Da Song has riding equipment, so it’s no problem to make some slight adjustments.

Zhao Ji chose the forward position, but Gao Qiu still had brains, eyes, and scheming.Liang Xin sent someone to pass the message, and he changed his clothes and got ready to play. He played as a midfielder and specially fed Zhao Ji the ball.

Referee: Liang Xin.

Less than a hundred seconds after the game started, Liang Xin picked up the whistle and started blowing.Then he pointed to the court: "Charcoal Team, pushing foul, Guards Team takes a free kick."

Then, before even ten breaths, Liang Xin blew again: "Charcoal caravan, push people, punish..."

Gao Shilin, who was standing aside, shouted to Liang Xin: "Principal Inspector Liang, you have gone too far."

Liang Xin didn't listen at all and continued.

"Charcoal Caravan, no reason, punishment..."

"Charcoal Caravan,..., penalty kick..."

Zhao Ji stood on the court and laughed, then pointed at Liang Xin: "Principal Inspector Liang, don't be like this. You are blowing it so harshly. If word gets out, it will be misunderstood that this is a fake Cuju game."

Liang Xin looked serious: "This is impossible. I am fair and absolutely fair."

Zhao Ji decided to replace him.

"Gao Qiu, you go and be the match card."

"Sir, go here."

From the second Zhao Ji came on the field, even the leader of the Tan Merchants Team was telling the players to be smarter.

This time, it’s all about having fun together.

It's just that Liang Xin, the referee, is really...

Even Zhao Ji couldn't stand it any longer and reluctantly replaced him with Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu secretly praised him, his lord is really great.

As high as the clouds.

Why did Gao Qiu also call Liang Xin his lord? It was because he was smart and knew who was the guarantee of his wealth and glory.

Gao Qiu is also a black whistle.

However, at least the surface of the whistle is still white. Fortunately, the charcoal caravan team cooperated well.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji did not have enough physical strength to play the whole game, so he could play happily for two quarters of an hour and it was over, [-]-[-].

With the entire court giving way and all four referees giving black whistles, the Tanshang team could only concede six goals, which is really a sign of their extremely high strength and standard.

After changing sides and restarting, Liang Xin accompanied Zhao Ji to the stands and waved behind her.

The leader of the charcoal caravan said to the team members: "Let's officially start, show your skills."

"Yes."

In the stands, Liang Xin said to Zhao Ji: "If it weren't for the heavy national affairs of the official family, otherwise this guard team must be a super first-class team, and it can be considered a first-class team at the moment. There are a total of eight teams competing against each other. I thought that I couldn't personally compete in the official family. In the end, the Panfu team and the Tanshang team are the two most powerful teams competing for the championship."
