The inner part of the southern part of the city is separated from the neighborhoods by a Hening Gate, and like the Jingshi Bianliang before the Nandu, this imperial palace that is considered to be a small scale in all dynasties in history has also become very "close to the people". It is not unreasonable for the Son of Heaven to be affectionately called "Guanjia" by the people, and whenever there are festivals such as "Shangyuan" and "Shengshou", they will climb this tower to enjoy with the people, so that ordinary people can also see the face of heaven.

Since the "Zhongshu is set in the forbidden middle", the political hall and the outer dynasty have been surrounded together, and the traditional distance between the Donghua Gate is a little round, so the opening of this and the Ning Gate was originally intended to allow the prime ministers to have a more convenient place to enter and exit, and it has become a rule since then.

Traveling all the way from his own house, he only got off the palace outside the forbidden gate, and the soldiers of the royal front squads who were fully armed in front of the door and held swords did not dare to look at him directly, and they all crossed their hands and lowered their heads. Chen Yizhong enjoyed this moment very much, and with elegant steps, the forty-five-year-old prime minister of the state of Shanguo walked into the forbidden middle school with his subordinates, and the political hall where the power center of the Great Song Dynasty was located was not far from here.

This is not a majestic building, the system is three times shorter than the smallest Chongzheng Hall in the palace, a total of four compartments, his one is the smallest of them, but it is better in the quiet, there are more than ten steps away from the main hall of the meeting. Walking into his room, it has long been cleaned and spotless by the officials, but despite this, the mottled windows and doors still show its old state.

The last time the official family allocated funds for repairs was in the second year of Duanping, which coincided with the great victory of destroying Jin, and under the celebration of the dynasty, Emperor Lizong, who was still young at the time, also became extremely arrogant. In a blink of an eye, more than forty years have passed, Chen Yizhong walked to the desk with emotion, there is a soft couch in the room, which is for the rest of the old minister, and he doesn't need this.

In order to dispel the sullenness that had been closed overnight, the doors and windows were wide open, and the bamboo shadows in the courtyard were illuminated, and the wall above the soft couch hung the inscription of "Fang Zheng Zhengzhong", which was the imperial pen of Li Zong, and the Qiao Xing Jian Qiao Xianggong who was sitting in this room at that time, lived to be eighty-five years old, could it be that he received the military report of the fiasco of the Northern Expedition at this table? Chen Yizhong sat on the chair, and his thoughts were confused for a moment.

After a while, the envoy of the palace brought a huge ice basin with a few small yellow doors, on which was placed an iceberg with a flow of mist, even in this palace garden, such a well-formed large ice block is rare, it can be imagined that it must be a special confession of the saint.

After obtaining Chen Yizhong's permission, the window was lowered, and the Mingzhou tribute paper was pasted as thin as cicada wings, and the light in the room did not feel so dark, but the coolness increased sharply, making people only feel relaxed and happy.

Like the Qiao Xianggong of the previous dynasty, Chen Yizhong is now most concerned about the military report, according to his estimate, the envoy should almost finish the work at this time, and the military horse that returned will gallop on the official road without saying this moment, and he is more proud than his predecessor that he has already learned the result of the war, and the difference is only the size.

"Have they arrived?" After barely reviewing a few copies, Chen Yizhong put down his pen and called a deacon in the room to his side, the young Zhishe shook his head gently, Chen Yizhong had already thought of the answer, but he just wanted to confirm it again, those two consuls were more than ten years older than him, so naturally they would not come as early as him.

"You go to the palace gate and wait, if they come, come back and report it, if a messenger from another place arrives, then you don't have to let the generals on duty ask, understand?" Chen Yizhong said a little vaguely, but Zhishe nodded affirmatively after listening to it, and then walked away respectfully.

In the Baominfang mansion where Prime Minister Zuo and Privy Council Minister Wang Entropy lived, the old minister, who was nearly sixty years old, had always woken up very late, and there was no dynasty, and it was almost noon before he got up to go to work. But today is a little different, just when Chen Yizhong was still on the way to the political affairs hall, Wang Entropy was already sitting in the study in his regular clothes.

He was holding a letter in his hand, and the person who wrote the letter was Chen Jingxing, the deputy envoy of the Propaganda and Comfort Department, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the messenger arrived very early, and Wang Entropy counted his fingers, and knew that he arrived in Lin'an City at night, and waited until the city gate was opened, and then he entered the city with the people.

The letter was written at length, not only to write about their verification of the results of the battle, but also to detail the various encounters of the group in Jiankang City. Seeing that Wang Entropy smiled slightly, he didn't expect that there were twists and turns in being coerced during the inspection, and finally rescued by Liu Yu, the right guard, and people on the river.

"A salute to my father." After a while, the door curtain stirred, Wang Gongzi walked inside, stood in the middle, and bowed to Wang Entropy in front of the desk, and when he heard him "um", Wang Gongzi stood up and looked at his father's color was not bad, and knew that he was in a good mood.

"But a letter from Chen Shilang?" Wang Gongzi waited patiently for him to finish reading, and then asked softly.

"Well, you're just in time, take it and take a look." Wang Entropy handed over the letter in his hand, his son still has talent, he has been born smart and clever since he was a child, and his ambition is not small, he is quite known as "Little Wang Yan", thinking of the genius who died early, Wang Entropy couldn't help but shake his head, being too smart may not be a good thing.

Wang Gongzi looked at the letter quietly, and the ones in front of him were swept by him at a glance, but he read that as soon as the two got off the car, they had a mustard on the dock, although it was just a small turmoil, but it made him keenly feel a trace of strangeness, and he couldn't help but "huh", so that when he saw the coercion again, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Do you see what's wrong?" Wang Entropy picked up a cup of tea on the table, the tea had been left overnight, with a slight bitter taste, this was his health secret, but it couldn't be left for too long in summer, which would cause disease.

"I can't see anything from this letter, the two should not know each other, and there shouldn't be any suspicions, but it seems that the kid wants to make a name for himself on Huang Qizhi, and he did it deliberately. It's ridiculous that this person who has always been known for his uprightness will now be taken advantage of, and this letter should have entered the city before the official report, right? Wang Gongzi shook the letter and asked.

Wang Entropy nodded, if the official seal arrives, someone should come to invite him to discuss the matter, there is no movement now, indicating that the seal is still on the way, but since this letter has arrived, the seal will not be too long, maybe, this should have been sent to the forbidden middle, thinking of this, Wang Entropy stood up, called the servants, and prepared to change clothes into the court.

"The person named Liu Yu, have you found anything?" Before changing into court clothes and going out, Wang Entropy suddenly remembered something, so he stopped and turned his head to ask his son behind him. This person's movement has been a bit big, and it has attracted the attention of all sides, and Wang Entropy is now anxious to determine whether he is Chen Yizhong's person or not.

"It's very strange, the son used all his connections, and only found out that this person was from Changzhou, but no one had heard his name before that, and when he entered the curtain of Wang Gong, I can't say very clearly, and the official file is only a short line of words, or it was recorded by Wang Gong Baoju a few months ago, and it is unknown how credible it is."

"Knowing that Changzhou Zhao and Jian have been detained and returned to Dali Temple, he is not easy to deal with in the clan, you will see it if you take a certain name to assassinate you, if he has no impression, then this matter is somewhat interesting." Wang Entropy commanded, did not stay any longer, set up the guard of honor and went out, leaving only Wang Gongzi standing in the court thoughtfully.

In the wing room of the political affairs hall, Chen Yizhong slowly looked at the seal, and the straight house who came to deliver the book stood next to him, waiting for instructions with bated breath. This trip made him tired and sweaty, and it didn't cool down until it cooled down in this naturally air-conditioned room, Chen Yizhong noticed his appearance and pushed a cup of herbal tea to him, but Zhishe didn't expect this treatment, and he was grateful at the moment.

"Came and brought only this chapter? Didn't bring anything else. Chen Yizhong thoughtfully waited for him to take a sip, then put down the watch seal in his hand and asked, this recital is jointly signed by the three messengers, and all the results are decent There is nothing to say, this should have been in his arms, but Huang Yong did not send a message back, which made him a little unsure.

"When I returned to the minister's office, my subordinates specially asked, and the envoy did only send this seal." When Naoshe heard his question, she didn't dare to slack off, put down the tea cup in her hand, recalled it in her mind, and was sure that she didn't have anything to miss, so she replied respectfully.

This Huang Yong, Chen Yizhong waved his hand to let him step back first, and he sat there looking at the watch seal on the table, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no one in his hand, he wouldn't let this classmate run this trip. Now that the results are out, it is a formal performance, and he doesn't know anything about the rest of the story, which makes him feel a little bottomless, but at this time, the damn Qinggao disease has committed it again.

"Chen Xiang, has the envoy's performance arrived?" Just as he was thinking about it, the curtain outside the door was lifted, Wang Entropy's face appeared, and behind him was the Liumengyan Liuxianggong, who was known as the "tumbler", and the two walked in one after the other.

"Coincidentally, I just arrived, and I was about to send someone to inform the two of you, just in time, you might as well discuss it at my place first, and come up with a charter, so that you can enter the palace to see the Queen Mother." Chen Yizhong stood up, greeted Wang Liu and the two with a smile, and while talking, the person had already walked out of the desk and greeted the two.
