Linjiang Xian, second floor.

The downstairs was already lively, and the people who witnessed such a hearty and hearty fight in Beijing took this place as their first choice, and gathered in groups of three or five to drink and brag.

If it weren't for the fact that the second floor was wrapped up for Liu Linzong early today, and a deposit of thirty percent was added just now, I am afraid that the second floor would be crowded with excited drinkers at this time.

Yang Linzi's mood was very high, drinking bowl after bowl of wine, while drinking, he stuffed fish trites into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Happy, today is really happy, young, this time I really didn't go wrong to come to Jingkou with you, I was a feast for my eyes, such a good-looking drama, it is rare once in a lifetime, after I go back, I will definitely talk to Yuanda about it." ”

Liu Linzong's face changed slightly: "Are you sure you want to tell Yuan Da about this?" ”

Yang Linzi put down the wine bowl in his hand: "Why not?" ”

Liu Linzong sighed: "Don't you know, Ah Ning, King Huiji was edicted by His Majesty the day before yesterday, recorded Shangshushi, was promoted to prime minister, and participated in court politics?" ”

Yang Linzi smiled and nodded: "Youdu, you are finally willing to tell me about this." When I came back to Kyoto, I always thought you were looking for a chance to talk to me about it. What, is this your personal intention, or the meaning of your Xie family? ”

Liu Linzong sighed: "Today's situation in my Great Jin can be described as a three-legged stand, Your Majesty and the two brothers work together, and for the first time in the nearly 100 years of my Great Jin, there is the possibility of reviving imperial power." ”

"But the power of the central court is in the hands of your two branches of the Taiyuan Wang family, the Langyu Wang family, our Xie family, and the Xi family and the Yu family."

"In addition, Jingzhou upstream has always been the territory of the Huan family. These three forces, containing each other, temporarily reached a balance, coupled with the pressure of the Hu people in the north, since the Su Jun Rebellion, a long time, my Great Jin avoided the civil war, and it can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Jiangdong. ”

"These are the results of the efforts and wisdom of our ancestors."

Yang Linzi sighed: "In the past, the imperial power was sluggish, and we and other high-ranking families joined forces to support the monarch, so that there was a nominal co-owner, and we could avoid a monopoly of the family." After Director Wang, the talents of the Langyu Wang family withered and gradually declined, and the Yu family and the Xi family were only in power for a short time. ”

"Until more than 20 years ago, Huan Xuanwu relied on the merits of the Northern Expedition to usurp the Jin Dynasty, but was stopped by several major families, and finally let him die without adding nine tins. Since then, the power of the court has been in the hands of the royal family and your family. Only this time, it seems that His Majesty intends to revive the imperial power. ”

Liu Linzong gritted his teeth: "King Huiji is a brother with His Majesty's mother, and his feelings are extraordinary, and now he is an adult, and it is the time to come out to take charge of the government, but he is still too young after all, and the people he has friends with are not national scholars, I am very worried about his ability to govern the country." ”

Yang Linzi said thoughtfully: "You mean, your good brother-in-law will take the line of King Huiji?" ”

Liu Linzong sighed: "I think that my uncle and Wen Dugong died together with Huan Xuanwu, kept the Jiangshan Sheji of the Jin Kingdom, and also kept the throne of the Sima family. ”

"For this reason, my uncle even did not hesitate to offend the Langyu Wang family, forcing the two daughters who married into the Wang family in the early years to divorce, and let his daughter marry Wang Guobao, the third son of Wendu Gong, who is also my good brother-in-law!"

Yang Linzi said with a smile: "But your Xie family never expected that the Wang family would produce such a big living treasure!" It's really as good as its name suggests. ”

Liu Linzong smiled bitterly: "How can there be regret medicine in this world?" Who would have thought that the Taiyuan Wang family, a famous family in the world, actually came out of a greedy and stupid guy like Wang Guobao, who just married his cousin, and stretched out his hand to his uncle to ask for an official, and even the position of Shangshu could not satisfy his appetite. ”

"Over the years, although our major families have controlled the government, after all, there are lessons from the Western Dynasty (Western Jin Dynasty), and all families have recommended first-class talents to be loyal to the country, and family interests should give way to national interests in this era when the northern Hulu is rampant."

"Since the king and the king, the ruling families of the past dynasties have not given way to other families that are more capable, and the retired party is looking forward to the rising stars in the clan and return to the center of power. This is also the fundamental reason why my Eastern Jin Dynasty has been able to take the initiative to go on many northern expeditions after a hundred years of chaos, instead of being annexed by the Hu people. ”

"But Wang Guobao broke this rule, he is both incapable and insatiable, he wants power not for the sake of the country, but just to satisfy his own selfishness."

"Uncle has long seen his character, so he resolutely did not give him the important task of being a high-ranking official, but only gave some idle officials, but he didn't expect that this person was incapacitated, but his ambition was huge, and he actually took the path of the king of Huiji!"

Yang Linzi sighed: "This is your negligence, your eyes are only on the queen's throne, but not on the princess of Huiji!" ”

"Now let Wang Guobao marry his cousin, which is equivalent to leaning on the big tree of King Huiji, and King Huiji, who has no experience in the court, has taken the initiative to take refuge from Wang Guobao, the descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, and naturally he can also fight against your Xie family."

Liu Linzong gritted his teeth: "So, this time, my uncle took care of it, on the one hand, he took the initiative to say that he was sick and asked to retreat, went to the ancestral residence of Dongshan in Huiji Shining, and handed over the government to the king of Huiji to show that he had no two hearts, on the other hand, he asked me to go out of the town of Guangling, recruit elite soldiers, prepare to fight against the northern captives, and make war exploits, so as to show His Majesty that the country is inseparable from our Xie family." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Linzong smiled slightly: "Of course, it is inseparable from your Wang family." Ah Ning, Ling Meigui is the queen, you, the uncle of the country, can't sit back and watch the dynasty be destroyed. ”

Yang Linzi nodded: "This is a trip back to Jingkou, I can see it, this Diao Kui is just a lackey of the newly attached Wang Guobao, he dares to be so arrogant and domineering in the important town of Jingkou, if he really lets Wang Guobao gain power, then the country will be finished." Don't worry, I will warn Wang Guobao through Yuanda and let him restrain a little. ”

Liu Linzong sighed: "Ah Ning, this sentence has been hidden in my heart for many years, do you really trust Wang Yuanda so much, do you think you will be friends with him for life?" ”

Yang Linzi's face changed: "Youdu, Wang Yuanda and I hit it off at first sight, we were friends when we were young, and we have known each other for longer than I have known you, and I know very well about his character, it's not good for you to say this." ”

Liu Linzong hooked the corners of his mouth: "It seems that even Ling Zun said that you and Yuan Dafei are friends for life." Could it be that he is also trying to sow discord between the two of you? ”
