"Ahh

Xiao Tang sneezed heavily, rubbed his nose again, and looked at the heat around him suspiciously, and said that the temperature in the bathroom was pleasant, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't catch a cold.

After returning to Bianjing's own mansion, Xiao Tang hurriedly went to the back house to visit Su Jinniang, who was pregnant with Liujia, fortunately, when Shi Xiu and other brothers escorted Xiao Tang's family back to Xiao Mansion in Bianliang, Tokyo, Su Jinniang has always been accompanied by Jin'er, Li Shishi, Hua Xiaomei and a few intimate maids in the back house, and she doesn't see outsiders on weekdays.

Now Su Jinniang's belly is already bulging, and she sees that she is about to give birth. And Tang Pengxiu and Gao Zhanya saw their father-in-law indulgently stroking Su Jinniang's round and bulging belly, and while the two of them were relieved and happy for Su Jinniang, they couldn't help but look towards their still slender lower abdomen...... And when Xiao Tang saw Tang Pengxiu and Gao Zhanya's meaningful eyes coming towards him, he knew that the family in the spring boudoir was looking forward to it, and he had to work hard.

Later, Xiao Tang and Yan Qing, Xiao Jiasui and other brothers held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, Zhang Kai and other colleagues in the DPRK and China. It wasn't until the banquet at three o'clock that Xiao Tang sent everyone out of the mansion that he was able to take a bath in a separate bath room in the mansion to relieve fatigue.

During the Song Dynasty, the public bathing industry was already very developed, and there were many public bathhouses such as the Sweet Water Lane Bathhouse and the Perfume Shop in Bianliang, Tokyo, and the families who built baths in the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles. Now Xiao Tang has already plunged into the bath, and used a bath towel to pillow behind his head, lying comfortably in the pool made of sandalwood, surrounded by strange stones and bamboos, and the water temperature is suitable.

As for the bathing utensils such as lipstick, facial medicine, lavender stove, loofah, wonderful fragrance, bathrobe, saponin pancreas, hand towels, etc., they have long been neatly placed in the bathroom by the maid. Although it is normal for the rich and noble to have maids serving their masters to wash their faces, wet their feet, rub their backs, and do some indescribable things at such times, Xiao Tang is still not used to exposing his naked body to women who have no emotional foundation.

Maybe ordinary maidservants are accustomed to serving their masters to bathe, but for Xiao Tang, both handmaids and maids also have their own dignity and shame, and they are not without hands and feet, and there is no need to show their identity and status by putting on the shelf of the deputy official master.

Although Xiao Tang had also had some crooked thoughts in the past, wanting to try the way of playing in the water with his own lady, Su Jinniang and Tang Pengxiu, who were born in the past, were not as foolish as their husbands (according to the "Book of Rites" The etiquette of husband and wife: men and women are not in the same flail, and they dare not hang on the husband's coffin, dare not hide in the husband's coffin, and dare not take a bath together. The husband is not there, and he hides the pillow and the mat and the sheath). Xiao Tang, who had just returned to his mansion, took advantage of the bath to be alone, and he could also think about the people he would see in the next few days and the things he would do in the next few days.

The warm water in the bath wrapped Xiao Tang's whole body, and Xiao Tang gradually felt that his spiritual platform was clear under the caress of the water waves. At this time, Xiao Tang thought that he came to greet him together with Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and other colleagues in the DPRK and China during the daytime, and there was a lieutenant sent by the imperial palace and the province, and the lieutenant conveyed Zhao Ji's message, saying that Xiao Aiqing was in distress at the border of Liao, and it was very hard to rush back to Bianjing all the way.

Zhao Ji arranged it like this, and Xiao Tang was not surprised. In the final analysis, he is just regarded as his "favorite minister", and it is only because of Jin Feng Yulu Lou and Liu Yingyan, the head of the line who has a deep friendship with him, that he feels very happy, so he will attach importance to his existence Xiao Tang. But Zhao Ji has a lot of tricks for fun and pastime, and there are many traitors around him who are trying their best to befriend him. Now Zhao Ji still remembers that there is such a number one person as Xiao Tang, even if he is still a little human.

Xiao Tang didn't expect to have any deep feelings with this faint monarch model. After all, there is a precedent for that high spirit, as long as the willful Zhao Ji still remembers the pleasure of making him have fun because of himself, then Xiao Tang can take advantage of his so-called grace to gain a firm foothold in the court.

But Zhao Ji is certainly easy to deal with, so Xiao Tang has to cheer up, but it is another person who is thinking about it, that person is Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang, a generation of traitors who have held the power of the Song court for more than ten years after returning to the phase.

Cai Jing is certainly a power traitor who has been infamous for thousands of years, but Xiao Tang knows that he must not underestimate the power tricks he has practiced through the ups and downs of the sea. As the head of the six thieves in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the opportunist element of the old and new party struggles, and was accused and scolded by many people in later generations as the culprit of the Northern Song Dynasty's demise, Cai Jing was able to serve as prime minister four times, and fought many political enemies in the ups and downs. Even after being degraded and suppressed by Song Huizong, he was demoted and suppressed, and then he had to be regarded as a vague minister, if he said that his political skills and city government skills were far stronger than Gao Yu's courtiers who would only cater to the emperor, if he really wanted to deal with him face to face, I am afraid it would definitely not be as easy to deal with as when he got along with Liang Shijie.

To be a traitorous minister who has been famous through the ages, he must also have real talent and real learning, and the traitorous officials who have made their fortunes by speculating and aggregating are not known in the court, but when it comes to the traitors and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, the first thing that most people think of is Cai Jing.

It's not yet time for Cai Jing to turn against him......

Xiao Tang suddenly had such an idea in his mind. Fortunately, he is a military general in the imperial court, and in the situation of the Song court, Xiao Tang thought that he would not have any conflict of interest with Cai Jing, who was bent on power, in the political arena. He is not Cai Jing's opponent, but other figures with strong political energy such as Zheng Juzhong now also regard Cai Jing as a mortal enemy, such as Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and other power traitors also have their own thoughts... In the Spring and Autumn Period, Bian Zhuangzi's brave opponent was no more than the tiger, but he was able to take advantage of the two tigers to fight for food, and assassinated the injured tiger when the two tigers were killed and one was injured, and achieved the name of killing the two tigers in one fell swoop.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Tang, who had cleared up a little, felt his mind tense again, he let out a long breath, and covered his face with a soaked hand towel. The political game between the imperial courts is indeed far more exhausting than when gathering in the mountains and forests. What happens next, now we can only take one step at a time......

In the next two or three days, Xiao Tang and the steward in the mansion received many old people from Bianjing who came to visit, during which Yang Xu, the head of the house, also said that some time ago he was not killed in Liaodong When the news had not reached the Beijing Division, Gao Yu also sent the minions in the palace marshal's mansion to Xiao Tang Bianjing's name to provoke trouble, but later the court got the news, and heard that Xiao Tang, who was still alive dangerously, had set off on the way to Bianjing, Gao Yu saw that Zhao Ji and even the attention of the capital was focused on Xiao Tang, This is the last resort to stop for the time being.

And Xiao Tang only smiled slightly after hearing this, and didn't take it to heart. It seems that Gao Yu's means of making a sinister move are still so many tricks, and it is okay to harm some low-level officers and cloth pawns, but now that he has returned to Bianjing, Gao Yu, who has always had to act in the eyes of the officials, does not dare to take advantage of this juncture to make things bigger.

After another day, finally the inner palace of the imperial city sent a small official to the Xiao Mansion to summon Xiao Tang to meet the saint.
