On March 28, the seventh year of Xuanhe, this day was destined to be an extraordinary day, 100,000 Western Liao cavalry suddenly appeared on the border of Western Xia, on this day Guo Yaoshi killed Yanshan Mansion Xuanfu envoy Wang Anzhong, and handed over Yanshan Mansion to Jin State.

The loss of Yanshan Mansion was a great blow to the imperial court, and it caused an uproar in the capital, and the streets and alleys were discussing this issue.

Yanshan Mansion, which spent millions of dollars to redeem it, was originally to save face for Chaotian, Song Huizong is a person who loves to save face, although Yanshan Mansion was bought, he still crowned Tong Guan as the king of Guangyang County, but now Yanshan Mansion has fallen into the hands of Jin Guo, which makes the official family lose face.

At this time, the official family can't wait to cut Tong Guan with a thousand knives, but if this bastard is killed, Yanshan Mansion will not be able to come back! What should I do, if I don't want Yanshan Mansion back, how can I give an explanation to the world, how can I give an explanation to my ancestors and ancestors?

After the official slammed the battle report to the ground, he said angrily: "What do you say you should do, you can't let me pay for it again." ”

Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Bai Shizhong, Fan Zhixu, Zhang Bangchang, Yu Chen, He Badger, Gao Chen, Pan Jing, Wang Shiyong and other important ministers did not dare to express their opinions easily, these old foxes stared at the prince and the king of Yun, the meaning is very clear, aren't you two fighting very strongly, now is the most important moment, whoever comes up with the opinion is feasible, who will be able to win the sacred heart.

The crown prince stubbornly said: "Father, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here. Wang Anzhong, a fool, cut off Zhang Jue's head without authorization and sent it to the envoy of the Jin State, which made Guo Yaoshi have a sense of crisis that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, so he did such a stupid thing. ”

"What's the use of talking about these now, what I'm asking is how to get Yanshan Mansion back, as for Wang Anzhong's head was cut off by Guo Yaoshi, what's the point of holding him accountable at this time." I don't know why, the official family is more and more dissatisfied with the prince, and thinks that they have done something wrong to set up this nest as the prince, and can this cowardly and incompetent guy manage the country well in the future?

Seeing that he was reprimanded by the officials, the prince knew that he couldn't come up with an idea, so he whispered in desperation: "We can arrange a heavy minister to go to Yanshan Mansion to announce the decree, and we will not be guilty of Guo Yaoshi's crimes, and we will crown him as the Duke of the State and serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Yanshan Mansion." After all, the so-called handing over Yanshan Mansion to Jin Guo is just a rumor, in fact, the Jin army did not enter Yanshan Mansion, it is nothing more than to extort money, after all, we have an alliance with Jin Guo, and they will not take Yanshan Mansion without authorization. ”

The prince talked eloquently, but the old foxes present felt that it was nonsense. Since Pharmacist Guo has rebelled, how can he return again? Besides, Guo Yaoshi has already handed over Yanshan Mansion to the Jin State, what difference does it make if the Jin army enters the city or not.

The official family didn't mean to blame the prince, after all, in his opinion, the prince only had this level, and he couldn't change the tricks no matter what.

"King Yun, how do you want to solve this problem?" The official family looked at King Yun and hoped that the three princes would have a different opinion.

King Yun really has to have an idea, this guy said confidently: "Erchen thinks there are two plans, the first plan is to let Tong Guan lead the army to take back Yanshan Mansion, after all, Guo Yaoshi is a rebel army can't become a climate, as long as the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army arrives, the people of Yanshan Mansion will definitely open the city gate to welcome the king's army." The second plan is to negotiate with the Jin State, and let the Jin State transfer the Yanshan Mansion to the imperial court, after all, we had a covenant before, and the Jin State will hand over the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to us. ”

It doesn't matter whether the two plans are enforceable, the key is that King Yun said it, not as outrageous as the prince said. The official family was noncommittal, he looked at Taishi Cai Jing, and the meaning was very clear, should you, the old fox, say a few words.

The reason why Taishi is called an old fox, how can he be easily fooled? Cai Jing simply pretended to be confused, this old guy fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, after all, he was eighty years old, pretending to be confused, and no one said anything, and the official family was embarrassed to force him, so he stared at Bai Shizhong.

Bai Shizhong didn't dare to pretend to be asleep, this guy knew that at this time, whose opinion he agreed with was to stand in line over there, and if neither side stood in line, it would indicate that both sides were offended. Now it is a dilemma, but when the official asks about it, he can't pretend to be confused, so he stubbornly said: "The prince's plan is feasible, after all, the sad matter of the rabbit and the fox can also be understood, all this is Wang Anzhong's fault, you can add the seal of Guo Yaoshi and let him return." Of course, Chaotian has to do everything in his way, and he can't base a huge matter on Pharmacist Guo's change of heart. King Yun is reasonable, Tong Shu's envoy is still the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, commanding all the soldiers and horses of Hebei Road, leading the army to Yanshan Mansion and forcing Guo Yaoshi to surrender. We are a two-pronged approach, envy and power, and that Pharmacist Guo can't play any tricks. ”

Good guys don't leak, they don't stand in line, and they don't offend either side. It sounds like talk, but in fact it's nonsense, and it's the same as not saying it.

Everyone secretly gave a thumbs up to Bai Shizhong, and finally understood what it meant to be cunning and shameless. Speaking for a long time, there is only one theme idea, that is, how to take back Yanshan Mansion depends on the meaning of the official family, anyway, what your two sons said is right, the palms and backs of the hands are meat, and at this time, the official family is still dictatorial.

The official family's least favorite thing is what Bai Shizhong, the old fritter, said, it was all nonsense, and there was no nutrition at all, and he glared at this guy to express his dissatisfaction.

Bai Shizhong didn't care, he wasn't optimistic about the crown prince or King Yun. Simply don't offend both sides, anyway, the official family is prosperous in the spring and autumn, and it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor after he returns to his hometown.

Zhang Bangchang decided to express his opinion, this time is the most appropriate time to stand in line, and it is also a loyal after-sales department, although he doesn't like the prince's plan in his heart, but he has to be tough to support the prince.

Zhang Bangchang sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will say a few words. Negotiating with the Jin State is nothing more than being blackmailed again in the end, and in the end, it is necessary to pay a large amount of money to redeem the Yanshan Mansion that originally belonged to my Great Song Dynasty, which is obviously not advisable. As for the envoy Tong Shu to lead the army to Yanshan Mansion, it is even more inappropriate. Now that the situation on the Song-Jin border is tense, rash use of troops at this time will be regarded as a provocation by the Jin State. If this triggers a border fire and restarts the war, it will definitely be a continuous war, and the gains outweigh the losses, so the minister thinks that the prince's opinion is advisable. Moreover, Tong Shu's envoy lost troops in the last expedition to Yanshan Mansion, and even if he went on this expedition, he might not have a good result. ”

Yes, in a word, Tong Guan is still not angry, if this guy successfully defeated the Liao army at the beginning, where would there be the current trouble. I don't know why, every time I mention the defeat of Tong Guan's army, the official family can think of Liu Zhenglong, the victorious general.

"What is Qin Guogong doing now?" The official asked coldly, and asked the courtiers present, everyone couldn't figure out what it meant to mention Liu Zhenglong, a victorious general, at this time, could it be that Liu Zhenglong commanded the army to recruit Guo Yaoshi?

Liang Shicheng got up and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Guogong is busy with the matter of the money prison, in addition, it is said. ”

"Say what, don't spit it out." The official family is a little unhappy, on weekdays, these old foxes are all full of energy and grandeur, how can they drop the chain at a critical moment.

"It is said that Qin Guogong wants to divorce his wife, and he has a lot of trouble with the Pan family, and the lawsuits of the two families have reached the Yushitai." Liang Shicheng said these words after considering it for a long time, since he has decided to take refuge in Qin Guogong, he must come up with some real materials, today is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"What, divorce wife, lawsuit, what's going on?" It seems that the official family is also very gossipy, of course, not only the official family, but also other people are interested, it seems that everyone is still very interested in Qin Guogong's parents.

Liang Shicheng said with a smile: "Qin Guogong feels that he should still serve as an overseas propaganda envoy, after all, it is equivalent to opening the door of the political affairs hall, as long as the qualifications are reached, 100% enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister." However, he was dragged down by the Pan family and was finally transferred back to the capital. He was arrogant and sprinkled all his resentment on the Pan family, feeling that this marriage had ruined his good future. ”

"Oh, what does the Pan family mean?"

"The Pan family is all on top, thinking that it was the Pan family who brought out Qin Guogong, this guy is ungrateful, and he is contemporary Chen Shimei. And I think that if it weren't for Liu Zhenglong's youth and vigor and didn't know how to converge, he would have come to this point, and now even the Pan family is not to say, and he will divorce his wife, of course he is not happy, and the lawsuit will go to Yushitai. ”

Fighting a lawsuit, interesting, one is the upstart Qin Guogong in the officialdom, and the other is the Pan family, how can the yamen dare to accept this kind of lawsuit, otherwise it will not end up in the imperial history platform.

All along, the Yushitai was under the control of Liang Shicheng, and was later taken by Wang Hao, and after Wang Hao was disposed of, it was finally Liang Shicheng who controlled the Yushitai, which is almost an undisclosed secret.

Interesting, Liu Zhenglong, a bastard, also knew that there was a lawsuit, and the officials couldn't help laughing, and when he laughed, the courtiers below laughed, but everyone quickly shut up, after all, it was too rude in front of the officials, how could they be so ignorant of the importance of the ministers?

The official family said with a smile: "I didn't expect Liu Zhenglong to have today, isn't this guy greedy for money and lustful, the two beauties of the Pan family are married to him, this kid is willing to let go?" ”

"Your Majesty, the letter of resignation has been written, it is said that as compensation, Liu Zhenglong left the mansion to Pan Yun and gave Pan Jin dozens of cars of gold and silver treasures. He moved himself to the mansion outside the city, which was a reward from His Majesty, and he didn't dare to give it away, or maybe he would have given it away. Not only that, but he also took a leave of absence from Yunxiao Junji. ”

"Yunxiao Junji, what's going on?" The official's face sank, no matter how the King of Chu made a mistake, but Yunxiao Junji was born in the royal family after all, and he was suspended, which was indeed detrimental to the royal face.

"I'll talk about this matter." King Yun took the words, and he said with a smile: "Father, this is mainly because of the old immortals, Liu Zhenglong was depressed after returning to Beijing, and deliberately visited the old immortals, hoping that the old immortals could give him guidance." ”

"What did the old fairy say?" The curiosity of the official family also came up, and for a while they forgot to deal with the affairs of Yanshan Mansion. He believes in Taoism and praises Lin Lingsu as an old immortal, and it can be said that his words and deeds have been influenced by this old immortal.

King Yun said unhurriedly: "The old immortal said that Yunxiao Junji was born in the Chu Palace, and he had an influence on Liu Zhenglong, and the two did not agree. Of course, what exactly he said was not clear to the minister, probably meaning that Liu Zhenglong was the minister, and Yunxiao Junji, who was born in the Chu Palace, stayed by his side, which caused the current dilemma. ”

Explaining it like this, the mood of the official family was much better, and he said with a smile: "Living outside the city and working in the city, this Liu Zhenglong is not too delayed." ”

"Riding a horse and galloping, the day before yesterday I didn't bother to hit and injure a hawker, and as a result, Liu Zhenglong's guy paid a thousand yuan, causing many people to deliberately hit Liu Zhenglong's mount, so he made a lot of money. Father, guess what the end will be. ”

"Emperor, don't you sell Guanzi, don't you see that the courtiers are waiting for you to give you an answer?" The official's curiosity was aroused, and he found that the others were just as staring at King Yun as he was, wanting to reveal the answer.

King Yun said: "This Duke of Qin actually chose to run into the city by himself, this guy would rather run than sit in a sedan chair." ”

With a thud, the officials laughed, not only that, but the courtiers all laughed, and even the old lady Cai Jingjing, who pretended to be asleep, woke up with a smile. This is also the only courtier who sits, after all, he is old, he is the prime minister for the fourth time, and the official family is sympathetic, so he should also be treated like this.

Funny, everyone can think of how funny Liu Zhenglong, a high-ranking official, is running.

"That's not right! If you don't like to sit in a sedan chair, you can take an ox cart or a carriage! The prince raised questions, and he was very annoyed that Liu Zhenglong had taken refuge in King Yun.

"Carriages, ox carts, there are still people touching them! If you touch a thousand yuan, even if there is a mountain of gold, you can't bear it! ”

King Yun looked down on his cowardly and incompetent brother very much, and took the opportunity to sarcastically mock the other party.

Laughing and laughing, the official family was still dissatisfied, he looked around at the courtiers and said: "Funny, the dignified Duke of Qin Guo ran into the city, what kind of system did it become, and did you want the prestige of the court." In this way, give him a royal carriage, and whoever dares to crash into it will lock it directly. ”

"Your Majesty, the royal carriage is not suitable!" Shi Yong, the king of the Ministry of Shangshu, looked down on Liu Zhenglong the most, but he knew what it meant to take the royal carriage, not to mention the prince of the country, that is, the prince of the county and the minister of the political hall, and he was not qualified to take the royal carriage.

For a long time, the royal carriage can only be sat by royal people, and no outsiders have ever sat on it, and whoever sits on it is arrogant, and this time Wang Shiyong seized this and raised it against it.

The official waved his hand and said: "Liu Zhenglong married Emperor Rongde, and he can be regarded as a concubine of the dynasty, a relative of the emperor, and he can also say the past in the royal carriage." Okay, I'm tired today, you all go down, I want to see the disciple of the Son of Heaven in the past two days. ”

Seeing what Liu Zhenglong meant, the important ministers present all had their own interpretations, but there was one thing that everyone knew, that is, the official family regretted it, and felt that suppressing Liu Zhenglong was a bit too much, after all, this is a rising star, if it is stifled, it is right or wrong.

The next night, in the Longde Palace, the monarch and the minister played against each other.

To be honest, Song Huizong really doesn't like to play Go with Liu Zhenglong, this guy's chess skills are too stinky, but this is also the only one who doesn't let him. For a long time, Song Huizong really didn't know what to teach Liu Zhenglong, and finally chose to teach Go.

Winning is still the official family, but the advantage is getting smaller and smaller, which is the biggest sense of achievement of the official family. After winning the third game, the official stretched his waist and said: "No, you stinky chess basket can't win at any time, when can you improve?" ”

"Disciple, don't dare to win Master."

"you, you know how to pat my ass, so be it, in the next game, if you can win me, then I will give you the most beautiful daughter Mao De Emperor Ji Zhao Fujin."

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen."

"Thank you, you can't win again." The official stretched out his index finger and gave Liu Zhenglong a violent shudder, at this moment Liu Zhenglong was like a child who didn't grow up in his heart.

Liu Zhenglong said with a hippie smile: "You have no jokes, as long as I win, I can marry the emperor." Although the disciple plays chess, but the disciple is working hard, improving, chess skills will gradually improve, not for a day, not for a month, not for a month, not for a year, not for a year, not for ten years, not for ten years... ”

"Don't talk nonsense, can't I let my beloved daughter wait until her hair is gray? Once the game is won or lost, I will give you this chance. ”

"Okay!" Liu Zhenglong muttered in his mouth: "The boiled duck is flying again." ”

"What nonsense?"

Playing chess, this time, Liu Zhenglong was very careful, for fear of making a mistake.

While the official family was drinking tea, Liu Zhenglong secretly hid a few chess pieces of the official family.

Narrowly won, and finally narrowly won.

The victorious Liu Zhenglong was as happy as a child who ate sugar, if it weren't for the official family, this guy might be able to jump.

The official family said very seriously: "I will marry Emperor Maode to you, and I will not be divorced by you again." ”

"The minister swore to the sky that he would treat the emperor well for the rest of his life until death, and if he violated his oath, he would not die well if he thundered five times in the sky."

"Okay, I got it." The official family believed that Liu Zhenglong would not divorce his wife, and he said with a smile: "You divorce your wife, not for anything else, but to prepare for marrying the emperor, in order to make room for the emperor, right." ”

Liu Zhenglong smirked and didn't speak.

"You go back first, marry the emperor, you must be beautiful, if you lose the royal prestige, I will send you to the ravine."

"Yes."

After Liu Zhenglong left, the official eunuch Zhang Di whispered: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhenglong stole a few chess pieces from you, this is considered a bully, Your Majesty, you look at this marriage." ”

"If he doesn't hide a few chess pieces, he won't be able to win for a few more years of practice, so I can't delay my daughter's good years." The official family was a little tired, he stretched his waist and said with a smile: "This kid, the operation is so big, just to marry the emperor, I won't let this kid be disheartened." The situation in Hebei is becoming more and more tense, Tong Guan can't count on it, and he has to rely on Liu Zhenglong at the critical moment. Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm tired, it's time to rest. ”
