Since the retreat of the Jin people, in the city of Tokyo, the ugly drama of asking for guilt and asking for responsibility has been staged every day, which is nothing more than the mundane matter of asking for help and giving up for everyone. However, for Wang Song, the new Privy Councillor, it is rare to have leisure.

In order to strengthen the imperial power, the Great Song Dynasty court deliberately set up a governor to weaken the political power of the prime minister, set up three envoys to weaken the financial power of the prime minister, and set up a privy envoy to weaken the military power. The Privy Council is the highest official of the Privy Council, and originally served as a civilian official, but he was afraid that the military attache would seize power, but the Privy Council had the right to transfer troops but not the right to command troops, and the general had the right to command troops but not the right to transfer troops, so that the two contained each other.

This mechanism is fine in normal times, but in the event of a large-scale war, it often delays the fighters, resulting in repeated defeats in the foreign wars of the Great Song Dynasty, but it has never changed.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council had four rooms: soldiers, officials, households, and ceremonies. Shenzong Yuanfeng increased to ten rooms in five years, and then added two rooms, a total of twelve rooms, of which the north room, Zhangxing Hebei Road, Hedong Road officials, the northern border defense, the national trust, this is also the scope of Wang Song's main direct management today.

"Xiaguan and others will see Xianggong!"

The Privy Council should belong to the public officials, military generals, military supervisors, horses, etc., all come to pay homage.

Wang Song nodded and said loudly, "Everyone, please get up." ”

Although he was already a member of the Tongzhiyuan, the military situation was urgent and he never took office. It wasn't until the Jin people retreated that they chose this auspicious day and came to take office.

Tang Ke reported his illness, and the Privy Council was taken by Wang Song. Each room submits a notebook and reports the number of people in the room.

"When the Jin people retreat, you must not slack off, and you must pay special attention to the western border defense of the three states outside the Fenghe River in Shaanxi and Linfu."

Wang Song solemnly explained the following commitments and principals.

"Don't worry, the lower officials and others will definitely send more manpower to urge the border defense war in Shaanxi and Hewai Prefecture!"

Although they didn't know why Wang Song attached so much importance to Shaanxi and the three prefectures outside Hewai, the officials below still bowed down and agreed.

According to historical records, the Jin soldiers in Xijing, under the leadership of Wanyan Lou's room, followed the attack on Shaanxi, causing Shaanxi and other places to be eroded. Shaanxi was in ruins, Wanyan Lou attacked the three states outside the river, and asked for a gold reduction, and the last horse farm in the Great Song Dynasty was also wiped out.

Wang Song was busy all day, busy with literature all day, and he was tired of the battlefield.

Zhang Xian came in and whispered in Wang Song's ear: "Xianggong, everyone Li has moved back to the Taoist temple."

Wang Song nodded. Now that the war is over, Master Li will stay in the Wuyue Temple, not to mention the big moves, and it is possible to attract gossip to Master Li.

In the city of Tokyo, who doesn't know the world, plus she showed up a few days ago, it is already a sensation in the city, or return to the Taoist temple, so as not to cause gossip.

You must know that in this court, there are not a few people who want Wang Song to look good.

"Send some brothers to protect the Li family, this wild bee wave butterfly in Tokyo City is extraordinary."

Wang Song's words made Zhang Xian laugh, and he said in a low voice: "It's a pity that everyone Li was ruined by that Zhao Ji, it can really be said that flowers were inserted in cow dung, which is a pity."

"You guy, how can you be so bold!"

Wang Song was startled, he looked around, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't go out and talk nonsense, otherwise don't blame me for military law."

These guys even dare to make Zhao Ji's jokes, in case it gets out, the guilt is extraordinary.

"Good, good! The villain knows that he is wrong, and there will never be a next time!"

Zhang Xian saw that Wang Song's face was solemn, and hurriedly stepped forward to make amends.

"However, the big officials, since the Jin people retreated, the soldiers under the command of my loyal and righteous army have all been incorporated into the forbidden army by the imperial court. We're all alone again, and we don't have a fight to fight, which is really uncomfortable. ”

The rest of the troops were all accepted by the imperial court, and these officers of the Loyal and Righteous Army were only responsible for organizing and training the new army on weekdays, and they were all idle.

"If they are not incorporated into the forbidden army, how can the court be at ease, who will guard this city wall, do they rely on the original old soldiers?"

Although he said this, Wang Song was helpless in his heart, in the land of two rivers, the people were displaced, but here was already peaceful and peaceful, completely forgetting the cruelty and war outside.

"Big officials, having said that, the villain is always uneasy in his heart, there is no battle to fight, and it always makes people uncomfortable."

Zhang Xian shook his head and said: "Fanzi is still doing evil in the north, and he will go south at any time, let's spend a leisurely life in Bianliang City, which is really unwilling!"

Wang Song nodded. Staying in this place haunted by fireworks and willow lane, even people have become lazy, this Tokyo city is really not a place to stay for a long time.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open from the outside, but Li Yanxian, Niu Gao and others walked in from the outside angrily. Several people saluted Wang Song, and sat on the side angrily, silent.

Wang Song was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "How are you guys, how are you so depressed today, is something happening?"

"Big official, the Jurchens retreated, but the court didn't let us chase after them, it's really infuriating to think about!"

Niu Gao said hatefully: "In the city of Tokyo, many people died of illness and starvation, and the people wept bitterly, parted with life and death, and buried the bodies of their families. And these royal relatives, dignitaries and nobles in the city are all delicious wine and food, drunk and dreaming of death, singing and dancing. Don't you know that the people can't even eat? Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, this sentence is not bad at all!"

Wang Song was silent. The Jin people have not retreated, Zhao Ji and others are already fine wine and food, poetry and distance, and officials in the city have also followed suit.

Niu Gao shook his head and said: "Now the large and small tiles in Bianliang City, fireworks and willow alleys, are full of lights, and the old doors are reopened. In addition to the alum building, there are also Ren shop, Renhe store, Yuxian Lou and other places, which are already brilliantly lit and the passenger flow is like weaving. The state affairs are so erosive, and these people can still be so stormy and staggered, which is really eye-opening!"

Wang Song also shook his head. Master Li reappeared in the rivers and lakes, just to boost morale and fight against the Jurchens. Now that the Jurchens have withdrawn, Master Li has retired, and he didn't expect that the business of the Gelou Restaurant would be even more popular. Later generations said that entertainment to death turned out to be this kind of saying!

"The land of fireworks and willow alleys has always been the most heroic! If the order goes down, the officers and men in the army can go out to have fun, but they can't buy drunk all day long in the Qinglou wine shop, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

It's okay to relax properly, but if you indulge yourself, you'll become a drunkard, with soft muscles and bones, and you won't have the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy!

Wang Song glanced at his subordinates, stood up and said with a smile: "Brothers are born and die, and they have always fought bloody battles with the Jurchens. Let's go out today, eat and drink, relax and relax, and see the night view of Bianliang City!"

"Genyue Xingyun, Yishan Sunset, Jinliang Xiaoyue, Zisheng Fufeng, Baigang Winter Snow, Big River Spring Waves, Blowing Taiwan Autumn Rain, Kaibao Morning Bell", this is the eight scenes of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty.

With the change of history, because of the disappearance of Genyue and other scenery, the descendants revised the "Eight Views of Bianjing", and finally became: "Fantai spring, iron tower clouds, Jinchi night rain, Zhou Bridge bright moon, the sound of the big river waves, the sound of Bianshui autumn, the Sui embankment smoke willows, Xiangguo frost clock." ”

Although Bianjing City has eight scenic spots, for these rough men in the army, the places where they eat and drink are naturally much stronger than these places with good scenery.

Niu Gao said happily: "Xianggong, where are we going to eat and drink?"

Wang Song said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the first floor of the capital, the alum building!" Don't tell me that you've been there secretly!"

Everyone agreed loudly, and the group changed their clothes and headed towards the alum tower.

The three floors are high, the fifth floor is facing each other, the flying bridge railing, the light and shade are connected, the bead curtain is embroidered, and the lights and candles are shining.

"Liang Yuan sings and dances, and the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. Remember the joy of the youth, the lights on the alum tower in the middle of the night", during the Xuanhe period, Zhao Ji rebuilt the alum tower, gorgeous and magnificent, every night, the lights and candles are bright, the brilliance is brilliant, so that the "alum tower lights" become a great scene in Bianliang.

There are more than 1,000 drinkers, singing and dancing, playing music and lyrics, candlelight swaying, and lighting novelty. If night falls, a lantern is lit in each tile ridge on the eaves, and it looks like a fairyland on earth.

If you look out of the window, the night view of the capital is in full view, accompanied by romantic singing and dancing, poetry and laughter, it is indeed beautiful, as if it is heaven and earth.

Outside the Donghua Gate, this magnificent complex consists of a central building and a three-storey building on each side, and the floors of the building are connected by flying bridges. There is a hundred-step main corridor, there are hundreds of kabuki on the corridor, performing and drinking, there are flowers and trees in the courtyard between the buildings, and there are small pavilions in the two corridors around.

There are both official and private wines, water and land delicacies, even late at night, which can accommodate thousands of guests at the same time, and the silver used every day is more than 60,000 taels.

The lights and candles of the Alum Tower Night Market are reflected, just like daytime. Seventy-two main stores in Bianjing City, 3,000 foot shops, first-class main stores in addition to the alum building, there are Ren shop, Renhe store, Yuxian Lou, Gaoyang store, Qingfeng Lou, Eight Immortal Building, Pan Lou, etc., a total of 72, but the alum building is regarded as the first of the main store, it can also be said to be the crown of the Beijing restaurant.

During the siege of the Jurchen army, there were few people here, drunkards were sluggish, and business was extremely depressed. Now that the Jurchens have just withdrawn, this place is already brightly lit, guests gathered, and the candle-lit restaurant is like day, which is about the charm of the night to the world.

Everyone saw the tall building of the alum tower from afar, it was really magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and it was placed in the future generations, this is a seven-star hotel that serves a one-stop service, and it is by no means an ordinary ordinary people's home, which can be patronized casually.

Seeing that everyone was hugging each other, all of them were extraordinary, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and brought everyone in.

The group walked through the lobby and down the cloister to a small pavilion. Wang Song ordered good wine and food, Xiao Er quickly served the food, and everyone let go to eat and drink.

"Cooking the dragon and boiling the phoenix is fat and fresh, the grandson gets off the horse and smells the fragrance and gets drunk, and he does not hesitate to spend 10,000 dollars to drink", the eating and drinking of the alum building is not cheap, but the food is also very exquisite. Everyone was feasting on it, and everyone was praising it.

Niu Gao shook his head while eating: "Xianggong, the villain is used to staying in Lushan County, and the most he can do is to go to the wine shop to eat a few bowls of meat." During the holidays, if the family can go to a restaurant in the city for a meal, with three or four dishes, it is already overjoyed! I can't imagine that there is such a good place in this Bianjing City, but I'm afraid it's not cheap!"

Li Yanxian took a sip of fruit wine and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, after this meal, it will take seventy or eighty times to say the least, but you don't have to worry, with Wang Xianggong here, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat you!"

"Seventy or eighty?"

Niu Gao was taken aback, he shook his head, and the speed of eating slowed down significantly.

This is always eating, and it is clearly eating silver!
