It was already early summer when Wu Haogu, Su Dongpo, Hou Zhongliang, Wu Yanchong and others entered Beijing together. The weather in early summer in Kaifeng Prefecture was like a child's face, and it changed as soon as possible. When the official ship arrived at the northwest of Kaifeng Prefecture to connect with Guan Wharf, it was still good, but not long after, it was already cloudy. A thunderbolt followed by a thunderbolt. When Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo and Wu Yanchong who entered Beijing together were avoiding the pavilion beside the dock, a heavy rain poured down.

There were also many officials who came to the dock to welcome Su Dongpo and the envoys of Goryeo, mostly from the old party, including Han Zhongyan's younger brother, Duwei, Han Jiayan, the governor of the Yinghai Army, the governor of Dengzhou, Duwei, the governor of the Privy Council, Wang Shi, the imperial edict of Wu Haogu's elder brother-in-law Pan Xiao'an, the good brother Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, who was in the National Trust Institute, and Su Dongpo's two disciples Zhang Lei and Chao Buzhi.

There were not many people, and they were not all for Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo. Among them, Han Jiayan and Tong Guan came to welcome Wu Yanchong, the envoy of Goryeo. The remaining few came for Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo.

Just as a few older characters were greeting and chatting with each other, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu took the opportunity to pull Wu Haogu out of the pavilion and into a thatched shed thatched beside them.

"Dalang, I will congratulate you first, I will be happy to have a noble son!" Pan Xiao'an said to Wu Haogu first, "I received a letter from Eighteen half a month ago. Your Ao Madam is born, and the mother and son are safe."

"How about Sister Eighteen?" Wu Haogu didn't ask Oliga's situation. The body of the "muscle beauty" is similar to a cow, and it's not easy to have a baby? The one who is really worried is Pan Qiaolian.

"It's pretty good," said Pan Xiao'an, "The letter told you not to worry."

"It's all about Mr. Yichuan, otherwise he would be able to accompany the Eighteenth Sister in Haizhou now..." Wu Haogu shook his head, quite helpless, "How is Kaifeng Mansion? Is it a big controversy?"

"How do you say it?" Pan Xiao'an frowned and thought, "As soon as the discussion came out, the new party and new students gathered together."

Gao Qiu sighed and interrupted: "After all, they are powerful. They were easy to deal with in the past, but now they are in a mess...Kun Han has a difficult life and he has to talk to him every day."

"It would be great if Mr. Er Su could be allowed to return to the court this time, otherwise those people would be even more arrogant."

It is understandable that the new party and new learning have joined forces because of this discussion of Taoism. Although they are referees, everyone knows that Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo are both Xiang Zhuang and sword dancing, aiming to Pei Gong.

"The two gentlemen are gentlemen, but they are afraid they are not in line with the official's mind." Wu Haogu looked at the heavy rain like a waterfall outside the pavilion and the dark clouds covering the sun, "and the foundation of new learning is deep, and it is not something that can be defeated by just discussing the Tao.

In addition, I am afraid that Mr. Yichuan will talk to his master and will bring up the problem of Confucian skin and Dharma bones. The crime of slandering the king will be suppressed and they will not be able to bear it."

Wu Haogu has repeatedly studied this issue with Su Dongpo on the road. There is no problem in using "positivism" to criticize new learning, but it is necessary to discuss things on the matter. The new party has done a lot of bad things, and it is nothing to criticize and fight one by one. But don't talk about theory, dig the roots of the new policies and laws, and talk about the people's nobles and gentlemen's light... No official would like this tone.

Moreover, the root of the new party and new policy is actually what the officials of the Song Dynasty mean, so they will step on landmines if they are not careful.

If Su Dongpo had not insisted on intervening, Wu Haogu would probably have brought his gold medal lawyer team to the field to discuss every sentence, but it would be a testimony!

Wu Haogu turned his head and looked at Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu, and smiled helplessly: "No matter what, I haven't seen each other for many days. Today I have to drink all the time. Why do you want Bai Feifei and Yan Xixi to come."

"I'm afraid there will be no such blessing today," Gao Qiu smiled. "The official family knows that you will arrive today, so I will ask the two of us to pick you up to the Qionglin Palace for a gathering."

"It's already called Qionglin Palace?" Wu Haogu Zhanyan smiled, "Is the progress not slow? Is it enough to spend money? The wood transported from Jiehe Shangshi is easy to use, right?"

Compared with the discussion of Taoism, Qionglin Palace is the main business! As long as Wu Haogu can find money to repair the garden for Emperor Huizong of Song, even if Su Dongpo was demoted to the official position, the people of Xin Party and Xinxue could not touch Wu Haogu!

"The progress will naturally not be slow if the money is enough," said Pan Xiao'an. "The land in Dutingyi has earned 2 million yuan, the land in Tongwenguan has sold 900,000 yuan, and Yunwu Tea's business has made another 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. All of them are subsidized, and more than 3 million yuan is available, which is still enough to support for the time being.

However, the official family is very determined. After the Qionglin Palace was repaired, it still wanted to renovate Yanfu Palace. It would probably cost tens of millions soon..."

"Just spend it," Wu Haogu smiled, "If the official family can't spend money, what else do we have to do?

Not to mention tens of millions, even tens of millions can come out of the land of Kaifeng Prefecture."

"What should I do if the land is sold out?" Pan Xiao'an asked.

Wu Haogu Road: "Then you have to prepare for the future... Now Jiehe Shang City and Haizhou Tianya Town are doing well, and it will most likely become a new way to make money in the future.

In fact, it is not a mistake for the government to like spending money. As long as we ministers make money well, the government can trust people and are willing to delegate power."

He was telling the truth. Song Huizong was not bad in his opinion. Although he liked to spend money randomly, he was not stingy and was a little arrogant, so he was still easy to fool. The reason why there was no good ending in history was that he did not have the loyal and good support of himself.

A heavy rain ended less than an hour later. Wu Haogu took advantage of the clear sky and sent Su Dongpo to his own Pear Blossom Garden to sponsor. After settling down, he took Zhou Yunqing to bid farewell to Su Dongpo and rode his horse to the Qionglin Palace that had not been completely built.

The Qionglin Palace is a garden-style palace built on the basis of Qionglin Garden and Jinmingchi. The original Qionglin Garden and Jinmingchi have now been circled by a red wall. The red wall is repaired with red bricks that Huang Silang accidentally invented, and the material for bonding the red bricks is "Jihe Mud Gray", which is the kind of thing invented by Wu Haogu that even the earth cement cannot be considered, but it is still better than the Sanhe soil that has not been burned.

Huang Zhisheng, who was in charge of the construction of Jiehe Commercial City, did not have any patent protection awareness. He mentioned the method of making red bricks and Jiehe mortar in his letter to Li Jiejie. So Li Jie, who was actually responsible for the construction of Qionglin Palace, built a kiln in Zhongmu County near Kaifeng Prefecture, specializing in the making of red bricks and Jiehe mortar.

With the low cost and high output of red bricks and good bonding performance of Jiehe mortar, coupled with the Liao Dynasty wood transported from Jiehe Shang City, the project progress of Qionglin Palace is naturally not slow.

When Wu Haogu arrived, he found that it had begun to take shape. Within the walls, several magnificent temples had risen from the ground. Although there were still no painted white blanks, they had already shown a lustful demeanor.

In the area originally belonging to Qionglin Garden, the renovation work was basically completed, and the halls and attics were completely renewed. Many places were painted with colorful paintings. There are also several newly built brick and wood buildings scattered beside the elegant green trees and flowers.

When Wu Haogu arrived, Gao Qiu, wearing a short shirt, was already waiting outside a side door that originally belonged to Qionglinyuan. When he saw Wu Haogu and Zhou Yunqing, he shouted, "Dalang, Brother Zhou, come with me... Brother Zhou, give me the sword."

Zhou Yunqing has now gone up, and his girl can play with Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs! Not only do someone need to accompany him to draw, write, recite poems and write, but someone also needs to play polo, cuju, archery with him... Of course, there is also a pounce!

In addition, when Zhao Ji sneaked out of the palace, Zhou Feiyan could also take a sword to protect her side... Her martial arts skills are much better than that of Gao Qiu's three-legged cat!

However, Zhao Ji did not grant her the title of concubine, but asked her to be Sichao. Sichao was a seventh-rank female official, one of the twenty-four corpses of the Six Shangs, and his superior was Shangfu of the Six Shangs. He was in charge of the harem guards and weapons that were in charge of several female bodyguards who were pretending to behave. It was really suitable for Zhou Feiyan.

After entering the palace gate, Wu Haogu followed Gao Qiu through the rocky paths. There were palace maids walking silently everywhere, and occasionally he could see a few small yellow gates. Wu Haogu didn't have the heart to look around. He had long been accustomed to this kind of demeanor of the heavenly family.

If nothing unexpected happens, he, Gao Qiu and Zhou Yunqing will spend the night in the Qionglin Palace tonight! If Wu Haogu is interested, he will ask for a palace servant to accompany him to bed. It is just a word today's official family, and it is such a frivolous temperament. If Wu Haogu does not follow him, he will not be able to play together.

I don’t know how long I have been walking, but in a place where the eaves and arches and mountains, rocks and trees are hidden together, Wu Haogu suddenly heard someone singing the tunes of the palaces.

"Taiwan is responsible for spring, spring is dedicated to the work, harmony brings Yanggu. Ten miles of fragrant flowers, all the east wind is full of willows; gradually, the peaches and apricots are shallow, the water is green, the mountains are green, and spring rises to smoke. How many days can the 90-day day? The doves are shouting at the mother, and the milk swallows carry their chicks; the ground is red and the wind blows, and who is the one who is responsible for flying catkins? The spring scenery is three parts, half into the pond, and half with the dust..."

Wu Haogu heard this was a passage from "The Palaces of the West Chamber". He heard Bai Feifei and Yan Po'er sing. However, this time he heard a male voice. But he sang it really well. He was probably a famous actor in Goulang Lane, Kaifeng Prefecture?

Just as he was thinking about which artist came to the palace to perform, he had already arrived in front of a bamboo and wood pavilion built by the water.

Gao Qiu, who led him, walked a few steps and stood in front of the hanging bamboo curtain and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Wu Dalang has arrived."

Zhao Ji's laughter suddenly sounded inside: "Dalang, come in!"
Chapter completed!
