Chengdu Prefecture

"Grandpas, I really have no money on it." A poor and thin man was blocked in the corner by a few gangsters whose noses were not their noses and eyes, but the few people seemed not to come for money.

"I heard that you have been reading for a few years, and it's not a problem to recognize words, right?" One of the men with a square mouth and a straight nose grabbed the other person's collar with a fierce look, and almost scared him. With his small body, he probably couldn't even withstand a punch from the other person.

"Read... I have read a book for a few years." The poor man replied tremblingly.

"Then I'll read it for us." After the other party said that, he took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his arms, making it yellow. The poor scholar saw the three big words "New Youth" on it, and immediately let out a long sigh. It turned out that the other party came to him to read "Journey to the West".

"... Sanzang bowed and clasped his hands to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, it's enough to set up the wine. Please go to the treasure hall, change Guan Wen, and send him out of the city early." The queen followed the words, took the elders, finished the banquet, went to the Golden Palace, and let the elders ascended the throne. Sanzang said, "No, no. When the Grand Master said that it was said that the zodiac would be opened tomorrow, and I would dare to ascend to the throne. Today I will seal Guan Wen, and send him away." The queen followed the words, and still sat on the dragon bed, took a gold chair and placed it on the left head of the dragon bed, asked Tang Monk to sit and asked his disciples to bring the pass certificate. The Great Sage taught Sha Monk to untied his bag, took out Guan Wen, and the Great Sage held Guan Wen with both hands. The Queen looked carefully. There were nine treasure seals of the Emperor of Tang, and the Treasure Elephant National Seal, the Black Chicken National Seal, and the Che Chi National Seal. After seeing it, she smiled sweetly.

The words said: "The brother Yu's surname is Chen?" Sanzang said: "The family's surname is Chen, and the Dharma name is Xuanzang. Because I, the King of Tang, thinks that the surname is Xuanzang, I gave the surname to me as Tang." The queen said: "How come there is no name for a noble disciple in Guanwen?" Sanzang said: "Three stubborn disciples are not my Tang Dynasty figures." The queen said: "Since you are not a person in the Tang Dynasty, why are you willing to follow you?" Sanzang said: "The big disciple, Zu Guan, the Aolai country from Dongsheng Shenzhou; the second one is from Wusizhuang people in Xiniu Hezhou; the third one is from Liushahe people. All of them were criminals of the Heavenly Tribunal, Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea to relieve his suffering, take good care of his merits, and pay his sins to protect me to go to the West to obtain the scriptures. They all received it on the way, so the Dharma name was not inscribed." The queen said: "I will add Dharma name to you, okay?" Sanzang said: "But based on your majesty's will."...

The queen gave him a plate of broken gold and silver, and got off the dragon bed and handed it to the traveler, saying, "You three will take this right as a travel fee, and in the morning, the west will be in the west. When you come back from the sutra, I will thank you very much." The traveler said, "We monks do not accept gold and silver, and there will be places to beg for transformation on the way." Seeing that he did not accept it, the queen took out ten pieces of silk and brocade and said to the traveler, "You are in a hurry. If you can't punish it, you will make a piece of clothing on this road to cover the cold." The traveler said, "Menagers cannot wear silk and brocade, and they will have their own protective clothing." Seeing that he did not accept it, the queen taught: "Take three liters of imperial rice, and make a meal on the road."

"Journey to the West" has been serialized in the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. Between the lines, the Queen of Xiliang is full of friendship with Xuanzang. But what is the result? I can only 'listen to the next chapter'. Wu Yonglin and Han Shizhong are quelling the chaos in the mountains, so this update can only be interrupted.

"There is nowhere to be found?" Several listeners who were so intoxicated that they fell into an ant's nest, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"This is what the new youth wrote." The sour scholar immediately answered: "I'm still there."

The few people next to him were stunned at the same time, and one of them shouted loudly with unsatisfactory feelings: "Damn, it's just such a eunuch? Why is Wu Chengen really want to be the chief supervisor of the big inner court? Let's go to the place where the tabloids are printed. If we don't update it, we will smash that place."

There has also been a huge parade in Chengdu these days, but it is not aimed at local governments. The goal is to lose everyone's appetite. The posture is much gentler. After all, most people still hope to listen to this complete story. Huang Miaohao tried to continue writing these days, but only updated the articles. There are very different styles before and after, and the story is made up. She actually wrote the Queen of Xiliang to death, and the readers didn't buy it at all. So the readers were excited for a few days. After Huang Miaohao came out to clarify that the last chapter was written by herself, the matter calmed down. However, there were always a group of people who would stay at the door of the tabloid "New Youth" almost every day, waiting for the author to update. It can be seen how popular "Journey to the West" is in Chengdu.

In the largest railing in Tokyo (Bianjing) city, a storyteller with red eyes was talking endlessly.

"But it's said that Master Sanzang..."

"Look at the Monkey Walker again..."

Zhao Ji originally wanted to come to the brothel to listen to "Journey to the West", but he didn't know that the old-fashioned talk of the storytellers. I didn't know how many times I heard "The Three-Tang Dynasty Poems of the Book of the Book of the Book of the West". I touched the unfinished single-line version of "Journey to the West" in my hand, and couldn't help but blurt out: "The Dog Out of the Closing".

This is not a fault for not saying "Journey to the West". His panda-like eyes were delayed because he was reluctant to tell the plot later. The Tokyoite who could not bear it directly spoke with his fists. After that, he was so scared that he had to talk back to the previous version of "The Three Treasures of the Tang Dynasty's Book of the Book of the Book of the Tang Dynasty". He let him speak with all his emotions and vividness, but his business plummeted.

The "Talk of the Three Treasures of the Tang Dynasty to obtain the scriptures" that Zhao Ji listened at this time was just the prototype of Journey to the West, which was more mythical than the real "Tang Dynasty's Western Regions". Moreover, the earliest image of Sun Wukong appeared. However, he was called Monkey Walker, but he was not a monkey, but a white-clothed handsome man. There was no Zhu Bajie in the story. Monk Sha had a vague shadow. However, in this story, there was already a "White Tiger Spirit" who was good at changing, and also a king who was the daughter of Tang Monk. However, the story was too rough, and the Tokyo people who were fed with the beautiful writing style, wonderful plot, and appetite would not buy it.

Why is Zhao Ji not interested in dogs? Just because he is born in the year of the dog, he is even more crazy and ordered to slaughter all the dogs in Tokyo. He wants to hear dog barking and eat dog meat in Tokyo unless the sun hits the west side.

Zhao Ji was originally born on May 5, 1082, and was born on the dog. However, he later changed his birthday to October 10, and also designated October 10 as the "Tianning Festival". Of course, this day was for holiday. May 5, which is the Dragon Boat Festival, a day of Doji, but the ancients did not think so. It is said that at that time there was an "evil month" every year, that is, the fifth month of the lunar calendar; there were nine "poisonous days", namely May 5, 6, 7, 15, 16, 17, 25, 26, and 27. These nine days are the "day of heaven and earth", which is the solar term for the battle between yin and yang and the division of life and death. Evil and singularity are in the way, and the five poisons appear together, "those who commit the nine poisons will die young and die unexpectedly." As the first of the "poisonous days", May 5 is the most poisonous day in the year.

It was precisely because of such an unlucky day that the ancients were very taboo for children born on May 5, believing that the children born on this day were unlucky and would be unfavorable to their parents. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Tian Wen of Mengchangjun "born on May 5... Ying (Tian Wen's father) said: Those who have been together with the household will not be beneficial to their parents"; "Fengshutong" says, "It is common to say that having children on May 5 will harm their father and women will harm their mother." It is precisely because of this statement since the pre-Qin period that "Gui Xin Miscellaneous Meaning" says: "Give birth on May 5, and the common people will avoid them." It can be seen that this theory was still popular in the Song Dynasty.

Coincidentally, Zhao Ji was also born on May 5th. At that time, Emperor Shenzong of Song had ten sons and was not interested in the Eleventh Eleven, who was born on the day of poison. In order to drive away the bad luck, he was given the name Zhao Ji (meaning good luck and strength), and sent him to foster care outside the palace. During this period, Zhao Ji was named Duke of Ningguo, which still had the meaning of peace. A few years later, Zhao Ji returned to the palace. After the death of Emperor Shenzong of Song, his sixth son Zhao Xu ascended the throne and became Emperor Zhezong of Song. In the third year of Shaosheng (1096), the fifteen-year-old Zhao Ji was named Duan and "returned to the tutelage". Emperor Zhezong of Song did not allow him to live in the palace, obviously because he was afraid that he would poison others. Zhao Ji was a "frivolous" person, but he was named Duan, which was probably related to the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the first month of the third year of Yuanfu (1098), Song Zhezong died of illness and had no children. Zhao Ji became emperor, for Song Huizong. On April 11, that year, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Song Huizong ordered that the emperor's birthday be the Tianning Festival. Look, Song Huizong did not order early or late, but ordered at this time, obviously to prevent the ministers from giving him a birthday on May 5. The emperor said that the birthday was October 10, which was October 10, and his words were not allowed to be refuted. On October 10, that year, Song Huizong solemnly accepted the birthday of the ministers in the Chuigong Hall for the first time. This was a typical self-deception and stealing bells. I don't know what embarrassing mood Song Huizong felt at that time.

The royal family of the Zhao family has always loved wealth and was greedy for wine and color, but this Duan Wang was very elegant and liked to interact with famous calligraphers and painters Wang Shi and Zhao Lingrang, and learned calligraphy and painting from them. After only a few years, the flowers, birds, mountains, rocks, etc. he painted have become unique and unique. His calligraphy is like orchids and bamboos, with a clear and beautiful spirit. He is active by nature, riding horses, shooting archery, playing football, playing polo, and all are excellent, and he enjoys a reputation in the capital.

Those who are familiar with the history of Chinese literature and art will easily find that Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was surprisingly similar to Zhao Ji, the Song Huizong, Zhao Ji:

1. They also have extremely high artistic talent, are talented and have a literary style; the difference is that Zhao Ji is slightly inferior to his literary talent in poetry, lyrics, music and fu; Li Yu is slightly inferior to his calligraphy and painting.

2. In governing the country, they are both mentally retarded and foolish. They are also ignorant of their own life and death, and they only care about their own happiness. The difference is only the degree and scope of harming others.

3. They were also the kings of the destruction of the country. Li Yu's Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, the ancestor of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji's Northern Song Empire was destroyed by the iron hoofs of the Jurchens in the Jin Dynasty.

4. In the end, their destination was also tragic. After Li Yu became a prisoner, he watched his beloved wife repeatedly summoned by the Emperor of the Zhao family to serve wine, banquets and beds, and became a real "***". When Song Huizong was plundered by the Jurchen cavalry to the edge of the snowy Heilongjiang River by the Jurchen cavalry, almost all his wives and daughters were divided by the Jurchens, becoming concubines, and after falling out of favor, they became slaves and maids.

In 1100 AD, the first month of the third year of Yuanfu in Zhezong, Song Huizong, the elder brother of Song Huizong, died of illness. At this time, Song Zhezong was only twenty-four years old, which should be the age of being alive. His death was very likely related to the indulgent gender relationship. There is evidence that when the emperor was fourteen years old, a minister wrote a letter to advise the emperor not to be too intoxicated by women. It is said that at that time, the emperor had already recruited a large number of people of appropriate age to enter the palace, and there were ten beautiful women around twenty years old every day to serve the young emperor who had not married and had no queen. This made the ministers very troubled, and the emperor's grandmother, Empress Dowager Xuanren, who was in charge of the national affairs at that time, was quite troubled.

According to the research results of modern physiology and modern medicine, sperm with reproductive abilities takes more than 36 hours to develop and mature. Excessive sexual life is likely to be an important reason why the young emperor died in his prime and had no children.

Historical records show that before Song Zhezong died, the inheritance of the throne was not arranged. Only the emperor's mother, the empress dowager Xiang, the chief palace queen of Song Shenzong, summoned several important officials of the court to discuss the major issue of choosing the new throne. This Empress Dowager Xiang was from Hanoi, and today is from Qinyang, Henan. She came from a famous family and was the great-granddaughter of Xiang Minzhong during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song. After becoming married to Song Shenzong, the two had a very good relationship. In 1085 AD, the eighth year of Yuanfeng of Emperor Shenzong, Song Shenzong

The Empress Xiang and Emperor Xuanren, the biological mother of Emperor Shenzong, made Zhao Xu the emperor, and was Emperor Zhezong of Song. Later, Empress Dowager Xuanren ordered people to repair the Qingshou Palace for Empress Dowager Xiang to live. Empress Dowager Xiang firmly refused. The reason was that the Qingshou Palace was on the east side of Empress Dowager Xuanren's residence. According to the customs of the empress dowager, the Empress Dowager Xiang refused to mess with the division between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After Emperor Zhezong ascended the throne, he chose the queen and married his brothers. Empress Dowager Xiang warned the women of the Xiang family not to be eager for wealth and no

Participated in the family. Those who sought officials in the family were rejected and refused to be able to be compatible. Therefore, this upright and virtuous empress dowager was quite prestigious among the subjects of the court and the country. At this time, Empress Dowager Xiang recognized that King Duan Zhao Ji was kind and filial, and had good fortune and longevity, so he firmly advocated that Zhao Ji was later the Song Huizong ascended the throne. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Xiang's proposal was boycotted by Prime Minister Zhang Dun. This prime minister, who later had a bad reputation and was considered a treacherous minister, believed that Zhao Ji was too frivolous and not

It is suitable to be an emperor to rule the world. At this time, the Prime Minister's opposition, Zeng Bu, was accusing the Prime Minister of the Privy Council, on the spot: "The discussions are shocking, I don't know where the intention is?" The implication is that he is disrespectful, has ulterior motives, and has ulterior motives. This prime minister obediently shut up. The tactic of using unbearable charges to force the opposition to shut up his mouth is a long-standing political wisdom and tradition in Chinese culture. In the current popular terms, it is called "extravagant".

However, no matter what, Song Zhezong's death undoubtedly cleared the biggest obstacle for Song Huizong to ascend to the throne.
