Chapter Ninety-Five: Transactions
Lin'an Mansion Qinghefang Chen Mansion, Liumengyan is the door on the bright light, his public opinion was carried directly from the steps into the main gate of the big open, Chen Mansion's family members and staff lined up, respectfully let people over, and did not dare to have the slightest neglect.

Of course, that's just it, Chen Yizhong, as the master of the house, didn't even get up, until the other party entered the living room, he asked people to wait and put on his clothes, and when the figure appeared, Liu Mengyan had almost drunk half a cup of tea, and stood up when he saw him.
"Sit down, it doesn't have to be like this between you and me."
Compared with the last time he was in the political affairs hall, Chen Yi's appearance has improved a lot, the bruises on his face have disappeared, and the corners of his eyes are no longer swollen, but the traces are still obvious, Liu Mengyan looked at his expression and didn't seem to care much.
"What did the saint say?" Chen Yizhong knew that he came out of the Ciyuan Palace, and he went directly to his house without stopping all the way, so there must be news, so he was not polite at the moment, and asked directly.
"I didn't nod or shake my head, I just said that everything should be arranged and listened to our old ministers."
It means that he is not satisfied, Chen Yizhong couldn't help but jump his eyelids, this is the power adjustment in the post-Wang Entropy era, and the reason why it is done in such a hurry is that from the outside, the pressure on the Yuan people is too great, and they have to speed up in order to stabilize the court as soon as possible.
The biggest adjustment is, of course, the ruling part, as soon as Wang Entropy leaves, the triangle becomes two ends, and there is no buffer room for anything, when Wang Entropy was still the right minister, this role was held by Liu Mengyan, who served as the governor of the political affairs, and when Chen Yizhong was appointed as the left minister, and Liu Mengyan was promoted to the right minister, this person became Wang Entropy of Pingzhang's military affairs.
Around this role, there should have been some contention and compromise, but because of its particularity, not only Chen Yizhong is not easy to speak, but also Liu Mengyan, the decision can only be placed in the palace, and the candidate cannot be either from both sides, otherwise it will lose its meaning.
"Who does the saint want?"
"Home is the hall."
Chen Yizhong chewed carefully, and then understood the intention of the Xie family, she wanted to make up for Xie Shengdao into the cardinal mansion, but the position was not enough, and she could not be directly promoted to the political hall in one step. Jia Xuanweng's qualifications have nothing to say, he is appointed as the governor of the government, and the seats of Lin'an Mansion and Zhexi Luchen will be vacant, so the two chief officials of the cardinal mansion can be adjusted to make room for Xie Tang, and such an exchange is still quite operational.
Using the ruling to exchange for the ministers, it looks like they have been degraded, but Lin'an Mansion is different, this is where the Jingshi is, in order to compensate, I am afraid that there will be additional officials, in that case, it will change from the prefect's affairs to the judgment of the government, I believe that neither Wu Jian nor Jia Yuqing will refuse.
The most important thing is that Jia Xuan Weng is not one of them, who is he good friends with? Even Chen Yizhong, who has a lot of ears and eyes, is not very clear, only vaguely knows that the eldest prince of Ye Mansion who has no sense of existence seems to be able to speak in front of him, and there is no other sign otherwise, it seems that this person is actually a pure minister!
Chunchen? Chen Yizhong didn't believe it in his heart.
In this way, the purpose of Liu Mengyan's visit is obvious, the two chief officials of the cardinal mansion have always been closer to him, let whoever comes out, even if Liu Mengyan has ideas, he must communicate with him, otherwise if he does not agree, he will end up frozen on this.
"What do you mean?"
Sure enough, hearing Chen Yizhong's question, Liu Mengyan shook his head and said nothing.
"Before you came, Wu Yankai just left from here."
I see, Liu Mengyan nodded, since Wu Jian is interested, he came out to make up for Xie Tang, and he has a deal with the saint, and this is also done out of the need for balance, no matter what, this change in power will affect the direction of the government, specifically, the attitude towards the Yuan people.
This point, in fact, the two of them are the same, in their positions to seek their own government, no matter what they want to fight for, at least this should exist, if they don't exist, what else are you fighting for?
"Jia Shanfu came yesterday, and he had an accident." Before Liu Mengyan came back to his senses, Chen Yizhong suddenly threw out another sentence, which made him almost lose his temper, and quickly covered it up by drinking tea.
"Let them all come out, Xie Shengdao makes up for the same knowledge, you recommend a signed book, and a certain secondment is."
This time, Liu Mengyan finally couldn't hold back, his hand shook, the tea in the cup shook twice, and two drops still spilled at the bottom, but he couldn't care about it anymore, and looked at each other stunned with his eyes.
"If you want something, you have to do it, Hanfu doesn't have to worry about it." Chen Yizhong didn't have any expression, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
Liu Mengyan's heart trembled, knowing that he was indeed serious, and what would be a great deal of a request in exchange for a ruling position? His heart suddenly "thumped", because what Chen Yizhong said just now was that Jia Yuqing wanted to find a foreign office, where could he put it when he was in power? Needless to say.
There is no need to say anything, when Liu Mengyan walked out of the Chen Mansion, he still looked at the sky in disbelief, and now the problem has become how to reply to the saint, of course, since he has received the greatest benefit, this problem will naturally be borne by him. Before he could come up with a statement, a sound of horses' hooves suddenly came, and the knight on the horse, fully armored, turned out to be a commander.
"Xiaguan Yuhangmen guard, I have seen Xianggong." Although they don't recognize people, the prime minister's guard of honor is a compulsory course for these guards, otherwise when the time comes, how many heads will be enough to cut off?
"Are you looking for Chen Xiang?"
"The last general went to the cardinal mansion first, but there was no one in charge of the mansion, and I went to the palace to inquire about each other, only to learn that the prime minister was here."
The person who came was not stupid, he knew how to improvise, and Liu Mengyan didn't care about the water in his words, and urged one after another.
"What's wrong?"
"There is news from Changhua County, saying that the beacon pier on Baizhang Mountain has been ignited." The visitor pointed to the west and said.
"What?"
Liu Mengyan was shocked, the beacon fire was ignited, that is, the border was invaded, Changhua County is the most westernmost county in Lin'an Prefecture, the news came from there, indicating that the direction of the enemy is not Lianghuai and Jinghu, then there is only one possibility left, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, but he still held on.
"How many torches can you say?" The person who came shook his head, he only heard the news of being ignited, but he didn't know the specifics, because the stakes were so high, he had to come to report it.
Maybe it's a mistake, Liu Mengyan comforted himself indiscriminately, although he knew that this possibility was very small, because it was one of the most well-guarded military facilities, and the possibility of a mistake was basically eliminated from the system, the news had not been confirmed, and it was useless to be suspicious, he planned to let the person come to run again, check and reply clearly, but before he could speak, he found that the other party looked different, looked at the sky in the distance and opened his mouth wide.
Liu Mengyan turned his head to look, and was immediately stunned by what he saw in his eyes, only to see that in the sky in the distance, an incomparably thick pillar of smoke was rolling up, if his eyes were good, he could still see that it was actually four pillars of smoke together, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
In that direction is the beacon pier of Qixia Mountain outside Lin'an City, and the four torches of beacon smoke indicate that there are at least more than 20,000 enemies.
"Enter the palace."
Originally, he was thinking about talking about it tomorrow, but after such a big incident, Liu Mengyan suddenly felt a burst of urgency, and regardless of whether this point was suitable or not, he hurriedly urged, he must quickly report the results to the sage, and it is good to earn back a day now.
In fact, the Xie family was also waiting for their results, the news that the beacon smoke had reached Liangzhejiang, and she had to report earlier than these people, but she couldn't do anything, so as not to mess up her position, and in this kind of restlessness, she waited for the same anxious and uneasy Liumengyan.
"The saint knows?" Liu Mengyan guessed it at a glance, because Xie didn't plan to hide it at all.
"Something's wrong."
"Look at the direction, it should be a change in the southwest, and the specific matter, the fast horse should arrive within five days."
Liu Mengyan didn't know more than the other party, but he was more experienced, and he could probably guess some clues by deduction, but it was just a guess, Xie Shi nodded after listening to his words, and didn't ask any further.
So, Liu Mengyan informed him of the result of the discussion with Chen Yizhong, and this result was also unexpected by the Xie family, not bad, but much better, the political affairs hall not only responded to the request, but even made concessions very cleverly, which made the Xie family feel a little at ease.
"The two of them are old and graceful, and they should be properly settled, and they should not lose the old ministers."
"Rest assured, saints, your ministers must respect the decree."
Xie nodded, this matter is done, the intention can not be printed for a moment, and it can be done when he returns to the political hall, Liu Mengyan secretly let out a sigh, but looking at Xie Shi's eyes, it seems that there is something to do.
"Liu Ziqing, how do you plan to arrange it?"
He said in his heart, for Xie Tang's own nephew, there are mostly hints, and when he comes to Liu Yu, it is directly made clear that the empress dowager's love for someone is simply undisguised.
"It's already been drawn up, can the saint see if it's feasible?"
Because she had prepared for a long time, Liu Mengyan took out a document unhurriedly, Xie Shi took it and looked up, it was the format of the Luchen, as long as she saw a few words in Guangnan, she put it away and handed it back to the other party.
"It's a little remote, and I've wronged him." Liu Mengyan pretended to be sorry and said.
"What he did by himself, he didn't reduce his guilt and added an official, what does he have to be wronged, the two prime ministers bothered, so let's make an edict."
Xie Shi just didn't understand, and said in his tone, today's changes have deepened her determination to move the capital, but at present, the government is not in her hands, and things have to be done step by step.
