The poetry and wine are graceful, and the demeanor and demeanor of the Yanyan princes are now a little unable to raise their heads in Bianliang.

Cai Jing, the prime minister, is one of the most powerful since the Song Dynasty, although he is not as authoritarian as Zhao Pu, nor as domineering as Zhang Dian, but he is the most ruthless in the attack on dissidents.

Since the first year of Daguan, there have been no less than forty or fifty people who have been demoted to Qiongzhou to eat lychees.

is different from the previous prime ministers, Cai Jing doesn't care if you are a big official or a small official, as long as you oppose him, your son, nephew, master and apprentice will suffer.

Yang Lin saw this in his eyes, without the slightest fluctuation, because he couldn't move his own people.

The only thing that can restrain Cai Jing is the current Son of Heaven Zhao Ji, don't look at Cai Jingyu's fate, Tongting Xuanma, the limelight is the same.

But as long as Zhao Ji is interested, a word can let him go home to recuperate, and Yang Lin is Zhao Ji's close minister, and Cai Jing will never be allowed to move him.

Cai Jing also knew that if it was someone who moved Yang Lin easily, this kid would immediately go back to the official family to complain, and there would not be a moment of hesitation.

As long as your own people are not cleaned up by Cai Jing, I will care about you as a civil official of the Manchu Dynasty, to put it mildly, the officials in the Great Song Dynasty will be eliminated seven or eight times out of ten, and the rest of the people will be more than enough to handle government affairs.

As long as this situation continues, Zhao Ji will soon make a move on Cai Jing.

Cai Jing is different from himself, everything he does is to expand the territory for Zhao Ji, praise the immortals, build palaces, and organize celebrations.

And Cai Jing, who controls so many government offices, speaks faster and more effective than the emperor, how can Zhao Ji tolerate him.

Yang Lin's forces did not start in Bianliang, the center of the world, but spread throughout the country.

Dali Tubo in the southwest, Qinlong Hetao in the northwest, two Zhejiang and two Huai in the south of the Yangtze River, Mizhou in Shandong, and Hejian in Hebei...

There are grassroots officials and yamen installed by him everywhere, as well as chariots, horses, and boats, but in Bianliang, Yang Lin only has one long-live battalion, and there are no more than ten officials who follow him.

At least at the moment, he has no way to compete with Cai Jing, and only by relying on the official family can he keep his wealth and glory, which is also the position that Yang Lin himself hopes to be in the most.

In Zhaode Fang, it is very busy, Yang Lin's wedding is imminent, and the whole house is preparing.

Even those idlers raised in the outer courtyard also said that they wanted to give Shaozai a gift on the wedding day.

Under a pomegranate tree, Yang Lin and Liu Qingshui sat opposite each other, chatting about some anecdotes from the DPRK and China.

After a man gets married, he matures quickly, which is indeed true from Liu Qingshui's point of view.

The idea that Xiao Liu Guifei found a daughter-in-law for her younger brother so that he could become a man and provoke the head of the family now seems to be very wise.

The frivolity on Liu Qingshui's face gradually faded, and now Xiao Langjun, who is more stable and has a face like Fu Fan, has now begun to grow a beard. This beard, not to mention that he is really handsome, is worthy of being the younger brother of Xiao Liu Guifei's mother.

Yang Lin is a little jealous every time he sees him, this kid has a handsome face that fascinates people and does not pay for his life, if he has his own appearance, this noble lady of Bianliang will fall under the golden gun of Ben Shaozai in a pile.

Sometimes, women are, and they can be much crazier than men.

"Da Lang, a few days ago, Cai Jing promoted his second son Cai Yi to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the scholar of the Baohe Palace. Several old officials of the Ministry of Rites were overwhelmingly opposed, and brought their protégés and former officials to make a big fuss, but I didn't expect Cai Jing to be really ruthless enough to devalue all these people. ”

Liu Qingshui was a little gloating, their Imperial City Division had not been impeached less, and they had always been a thorn in the side of civil officials, and now that these people were demoted, it was too late for him to be happy.

Yang Lin leaned back, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and squinted his eyes slightly: "Those nerds in the middle of the court are only staring at the temple, and they are still a little short of fighting with Cai Jing here.

But these don't do our business, let Cai Jing make trouble with them, and we will now build the palace of Bianliang for a few princes.

Let him be in turmoil, and I will not move. When they make a big fuss, the official family will naturally come forward. Our official family doesn't care about anything, and his heart is like a mirror. ”

Liu Qingshui pursed his lips lightly, obviously not very optimistic about his brother-in-law, but he would definitely not say it, even in the face of a close friend like Yang Lin.

Suddenly, his eyebrows moved, he thought of something, and said with a sad face: "Da Lang, I heard Yang Jian say that the official family seems to be obsessed with the elixir of immortality recently. ”

Yang Lin instantly sat up straight and asked, "When did it happen, where did the Taoist priest enter the pill for the official family." ”

"It's Guo Tianxin."

Yang Lin nodded, and secretly said that it was really him, this Guo Tianxin was an old friend of Zhao Ji when he was the king of Duan. It is said that when Zhao Ji was an idle prince at that time, this old Taoist secretly said to him: "The king should have the world." ”

In Yang Lin's opinion, Bacheng is that these two have drunk too much, Guo Tianxin has touted it, and said a big rebellious joke.

After all, at that time, Zhao Ji's imperial brother was strong, and it was his turn to be the emperor.

Who knew that later Song Zhezong Zhao Xu suddenly died of illness at the age of twenty-four. After Zhao Ji became the emperor, Guo Tianxin's good days came, and he preached his original "prophecy" everywhere.

At that time, Zhao Ji's throne was unstable, and many people were not convinced, and this mythical prophecy was of great use to him, so Guo Tianxin was brought to the privy capital to undertake the decree and observe the festival. His son Zhongfu was the general secretary of the cabinet, and Xu accompanied him to the court and was promoted to the secretary of the provincial school.

If it weren't for Yang Lin's birth, this guy would be the most favored Taoist priest in the court, and now he is being snubbed and thinks of the way to bewitch the emperor to eat the elixir, which can be regarded as saving a little holy family.

Since ancient times, when emperors were comfortable, they wanted to live forever and enjoy it forever. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty are not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention Zhao Ji, who already believes in Taoism.

Zhao Ji, an old boy, has been comfortable in recent years, and it is not surprising that he has this idea.

The last time Zhao Ji expressed it to Yang Lin euphemistically, he was pushed over by Yang Lin disdainfully, and only said that the elixir was a small path, and Shenxiao Avenue did not need these foreign objects.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji still didn't give up, it doesn't matter if he eats the elixir and dies, the new emperor must be chosen from several princes, and they are not yet adults.

Today's biggest prince is Zhao Huan, that is, the later Song Qinzong, Zhao Heng is the eldest son of the late Empress Xiangong Wang, with an impeccable identity and an absolute choice for the prince.

The crux of the matter is that he is still a five-year-old child, and although a palace will be built for him soon, it is estimated that he will have to live in the forbidden place for a few more years.

If this kind of young child becomes an emperor, he will definitely be set aside, and he estimates that he has no share.

It's either Liang Shicheng, the old demon, or Cai Jing, the old ghost, the power of both of them is above them, and now Zhao Ji must be there to control them.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Ji is Yang Lin's biggest umbrella at this time, and he must do his best to protect this merry man.

Zhao Ji, the treasure emperor, Lao Tzu flickered, and others even came to fool him, which is simply unbearable!

Liu Qingshui looked at Yang Lin's face slowly and unpleasantly, a little strange, in his opinion, the emperor was obsessed with pills, which was also a recognition of Taoism.

Da Lang, as the deputy head of Taoism in the world, why does he look like this...
