"A pillar of true fragrance is natural, auspicious smoke comes from the Huangting furnace. The cloud seal is formed in the air, and Qi Le lives for thousands of years. Xuandu Wanshou Tianzun..." The sound of playing the piano suddenly came from the small boat passing by. The boatman behind echoed and sang a Taoist song. The song was loud and very penetrating, as if it was about to pierce the human heart, but they had no intention of staying, and quickly passed them forward, with the meaning of a dragon not seeing its beginning and end, and the sound of the Taoist song was endless.

"Your Majesty, I think I really met an immortal!" Chen Dun looked at the boat flashing by, turned his face and whispered.

"Your Majesty, I have also seen that the Taoist on the bow of the boat and the shipboard man look like ordinary people, and the person who plays the piano is not an ordinary person!" Zhuang Gong also whispered in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, are you dazzled? The Taoist on the bow of the boat seems to be floating in the air!" Ying Xu also leaned over and said.

"Jingsheng, you read that Taoist is indeed floating on the bow of the ship!" Zhao Bing touched his chin and said. Ying Xu was also a newcomer to the imperial office. He was Ying Jieyan's second son. He did not inherit his literary talent, but inherited his talent in martial arts. He was the shaded official Chengxinlang, who served as the garrison officer of Ningbo, and later lived in seclusion in Yingshan. This time he was appointed as the head of the room and replaced Lin Zhiwu's position.

"Your Majesty, do you want to chase after me?" Zheng Yong said with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, it is a good omen for the immortal to appear in West Lake. If Your Majesty discusses the Tao with him, it will be a good story!" Chen Shishi also said.

"I'll do it after them, and I'll do it all at once!" Listening to the crowd's talk, Zhao Bing didn't believe in anything like gods and other things at all. He was curious about why that person floated in the air. However, he also knew that this was contrary to what he had learned in his previous life, and was erected with Lao Niu's research. It was mostly a trick like floating in the air in magic, so he waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, you can't find anything you want when you meet an immortal. Isn't it a pity to miss it like this!" Chen Dun said anxiously, not wanting to miss the opportunity.

"Have you forgotten what I told them? If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!" Zhao Bing glared at Chen Dun and said unwillingly.

"Demon? Your Majesty means that the Taoist priest is not a god but a monster!" Ying Xu said in surprise. Before entering the inner palace, he had been taught by his father, saying that the young emperor had met an immortal in his dream, and had a great idea of ​​enlightenment by his enlightenment. He repeatedly reminded him not to serve talented people with a contempt. He not only acted cautiously, but also had great wisdom and never be smart.

"Jingsheng, Your Majesty's intention is not to say that those Taoists are demons, but to say that if things are refuted, there may be fraud, so you should be careful when doing things!" Chen Shishi smiled and explained, "Today, Your Majesty suddenly decided to visit the lake, but no one knew about it. When he arrived at the Broken Bridge, the so-called immortal appeared again. This matter was too coincidental, so he had to be cautious."

"So that's it. Thank you for your advice." Ying Xu bowed and thanked him after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, then do we need to be more vigilant?" Chen Dun immediately reacted and frowned.

"No need! Whether it is an immortal or a demon, raising his hand can control us mortals to death, and we can't even defend ourselves. But if he is just an ordinary person, will we still be afraid of them? But if he turns around, he should be careful." Zhao Bing waved his hand and smiled.

"What Your Majesty said is that if you don't wait for it to get close, you will be shot into a hornet's nest by a musket. And the emperor is here, how dare those demons and monsters approach you!" Ma Duan said in a statement.

"Guiyu, can you tell the story of White Snake on this broken bridge?" After the boat slowly approached the broken bridge, it did not pass through the bridge, but turned westward. Zhao Bing approached Ma Duan.

"When Emperor Gaozong passed through the south, during the Shaoxing period, in Heizhu Lane, Lin'an Prefecture, Hangzhou, there was a family of officials with the surname Li and his name was Ren. He was the recruiter of Nanlang Pavilion Library and he also took charge of money and grain with Taiwei Shao. His wife had a brother Xu Xuan, who was ranked Xiao Yi..." The little emperor was interested, so Ma Duanlin told the story he knew.

Ma Duanlin is a scholar, and is not interested in such stories of immortals and monsters. He only knows that it is probably not detailed. Moreover, his eloquence is not as storied as a storyteller. The story is not as full as that of later generations, so it is not exciting. However, Zhao Bing still heard that the difference from the modern version is that Xu Xian is not called Xu Xian, but Xu Xuan. The old monk Fahai seems to be a positive person, not a guy who has done all the evil things to break up, but a righteous man who has eliminated demons and defended the way.

"What Guiyu said is a little different from the version I saw, but the story is also very different!" Although he was not well-telled, Zhao Bing finished listening and thought about it.

"Then let Your Majesty tell me, I haven't heard from Your Majesty's storytelling for many years!" Wang De's eyes lit up after hearing this and he suggested loudly.

"Yes, yes, there is nothing to do today, Your Majesty will tell you!" The guards on the boat also cheered.

"Your Majesty, can you still tell a story?" Ying Xu looked around and looked at Duke Zhuang Cong and Chen Shishi and said, but they shook their heads in confusion.

"You don't have this blessing. When Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, he taught our guard camps every day in the palaces of Qizhou and Yashan. In his spare time, he talked about the Three Kingdoms and said Journey to the West, which was very exciting. Later, even the ministers in the court went to listen. Although those days were difficult, it was the happiest day for us. I hope that Your Majesty would finish the class earlier and talk about it quickly!" A guard on the boat said with great nostalgia.

"Yes, you were only at my age, but you had already accompanied me to charge in battle. Unfortunately, now they are all going everywhere, and there are not many people left behind!" Zhao Bing said with emotion after hearing this. The guard camp had expanded to more than ten times, and those friends were their first team, and those who could survive were all intermediate officers.

"Your Majesty, I have heard of it, let's talk about it!" The voices above had already alarmed the officers and soldiers of the guards who were on the second floor, and some of them were also begging up.

"Rareless, how can you talk here?" Yang Shilong was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly stopped. Not only was he worried that he was to disturb the Holy Driving, but he knew that being able to "squeeze" the ship as a guard was naturally Yang Shilong's confidant. Unexpectedly, someone had such a deep connection with His Majesty, and he knew that those who could call him subordinates in front of His Majesty were definitely his confidant.

"It's Hou Bao, Li Yu!" Zhao Bing said to the bottom.

"It's my subordinate!" Someone immediately answered below.

"Come up and sit down," Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Hou Bao, the commander of the first battalion of the personal guards, will meet His Majesty!"

"Li Yu, the commander of the Third Battalion of the First Battalion of the First Guard Regiment, will meet Your Majesty!" After hearing this, the two of them immediately went to the top cabin to pay a visit.

"Okay, I haven't been here for so many days to show my face in front of me, and I still think you have forgotten me!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked the two of them to get up, and then asked Wang De to set up two short tables, arrange snacks and tea, and let them sit down.

"Commander Yang, they have been my companionship for me, but they are a little stupid and can only join the army. There is no disrespect, right?" Zhao Bing said to Yang Shilong with a smile.

"What did Your Majesty say? It turns out that they were so capable was taught by Your Majesty himself." Seeing the little emperor pointing out the relationship, Chen Dun also laughed with them with his arms around him, obviously very familiar. But he thought he had already taken them as his confidants and asked them to monitor the whereabouts of the little emperor. This was not only stupid, but also stupid. It would be good if he didn't monitor himself in turn. Thinking of how many little emperors there were around, Yang Shilong couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat, thinking that the empress dowager would not know, and sending him to monitor more was just a gesture, but he took it seriously, and at this time he could only smile awkwardly.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Bing started to tell it. "The Legend of the White Snake" was found in the Tang Dynasty. At first, it was very brief, but it was just a short story of gods and monsters. The protagonists did not have a name. Later generations added some plots based on this legend, making the story more popular and in line with the taste of the public, and was able to flow. When it was passed down to modern characters, it was more full, the plot was more vivid and tortuous, and it quickly attracted everyone. When it was heard, it was cheering.

This summer rain is sometimes tight and sometimes sparse, and the cruise ships on the lake are sparse, and the viewing seems to be even more unique in the rain and mist. The three ships of the Saint-Gao and his team walked slowly, but the people in the cabin seemed to have no time to appreciate them. They were all attracted by the story of the little emperor. The sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the cabin was sometimes high and sometimes low, and the sound of storytelling made everyone's moods rise and fall from time to time, and they had forgotten where they were.

‘Guru…’

"I'm hungry!" When talking about the fact that White Snake transformed after drinking realgar wine and scared Xu Xian to death, Zhao Bing's stomach was inappropriate and heard intestinal roars, he touched his stomach and said with a smile.

"Haha..." Everyone came to their senses. Before they knew it, it was noon and they also smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, I left in a hurry. I didn't expect that I would come out for so long. I only prepared snacks on the boat, but I didn't arrange for the chefs to get on the boat." The boat walked to the center of the lake, far from the garden, and there were only two choices at the moment, either go back or go hungry, but the little emperor seemed to be in a bad mood, and Wang De said with a bitter face.

"Hey, don't you be swearing. Isn't there a kitchen boat there? Just call two of them to come and dock." Zhao Bing looked out of the cabin door and saw a boat docking on the shore and cursing.

"Your Majesty, the front is the Fenghe Lotus in Quyuan, one of the ten scenic spots in West Lake. It is a good place to watch lotus in summer. It is better to moor boats here, and it is also a good meal!" Ma Duanlin reminded.

"Hey, is it Quyuan Fenghe there? Why is it so narrow?" Zhao Bing looked in the direction he indicated and saw a corner of the lake, which was far from what he saw in his previous life, and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, it's where. The Maiquyuan, which was originally an official winery, was planted near the shore with lotus flowers, and people leaned against the flower posture, and the flowers reflected the faces of people, and they were very free. When the gentle breeze came in summer, the fragrance of lotus and wine were floating everywhere, making people drunk without drinking and drunk. It was one of the ten scenic spots. Unfortunately, after Lin'an fell, the Quyuan was abandoned and gradually became deserted. There was only lotus fragrance, but no wine fragrance!" Ma Duanlin explained.

"So that's it!" Zhao Bing nodded, but it was a pity. When he came here in his previous life, he only smelled the smell of sweat and did not smell the fragrance of wine. He just added many man-made landscapes, but suddenly he remembered something, "Is Yuewang Temple nearby?"

"Yes, the tomb of King E is not far from the shore!" Ma Duanlin replied, "It's a pity that after the Mongol Yuan captured Lin'an, he destroyed all the tombs of King E, leaving only the lonely tombs!"

"Alas, Yue Wumu is loyal to the Song Dynasty and resists foreign humiliation. This is because he has made great contributions to our dynasty. You can write down and urge the Ministry of Works to repair it as soon as possible for memorial and tribute!" Zhao Bing sighed with a sad expression after hearing this. He could be said to have grown up listening to Yue Fei's story and had a high status in his heart. Since he had no chance to meet him, it was worth it to be able to do something for him.

Everyone moored the boat fifty steps away from the lake shore as Zhao Bing's order to prevent the dragon boat from being stranded. They also ordered a warning boat to take Wang De to the shore and call two kitchen boats. Of course, he treated the guests and ordered the three boats to lean together, except for the soldiers on duty to have dinner together. On the kitchen boat, Wang De had already sent several small yellow gates to monitor the kitchen workers' operations and delivery of food, and outsiders were not allowed to board the dragon boat. Although they could not go ashore to pay tribute, he still ordered people to go ashore to deliver tribute to Yue Fei and his son, and led everyone to spread wine and sacrifice for a long time before the banquet, and then sat down to have dinner.

Although the kitchen boat is not large in size, it is not difficult to serve more than 200 people above the three boats, and the dishes are also quite rich, which is different from the complex and meticulous palace dishes and the roughness of rural farm dishes. Moreover, Hangzhou is located in the lower reaches of Qiantang River and the coast of the East China Sea, with rich aquatic resources. The recipe is mainly fish, shrimps and seafood, which is in line with Zhao Bing's taste.

Everyone knows that the young emperor does not like luxury when eating, and only pays attention to affordable and delicious food, so they are exempt from looking at the plate. The first one is naturally cold dishes, and they are mainly cured flavors, such as scalyptus, sausage, squares, lines, sauce meat, whirlpool, meat melon, sea bass sashimi, crucian carp sashimi, etc. The boat is also close to people, and Zhao Bing doesn't have to pretend to be gentle. He didn't drink two glasses of wine, but he ate half full. Although the new two had not eaten with His Majesty, they had heard of it for a long time and did not care about it. Instead, they felt that the young emperor was very kind and not artificial.

"Your Majesty, that ship is here!" Chen Dun reported before the second wave of dishes was served.

"Haha, I guess the gods are hungry. They come to beg for food while smelling the aroma of wine and meat!" Zhao Bing put down his chopsticks and looked out, and saw that the old Taoist on the bow of the boat was still sitting cross-legged, but it was not floating, and the sound of the piano and the singing were gone. He smiled.

"Your Majesty, will you expel them?" Everyone laughed when they heard this. The little emperor's words seemed to compare the immortals to wild dogs looking for food and beggars begging for food. Chen Dun asked again with a smile.

"No need, let's see if the person who came is an immortal or a ghost!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said with a smile.

"They are here!" As he spoke, the ship had already rowed over and slowed down its speed by more than ten steps away from them. Chen Dun whispered.
Chapter completed!
