Under the opera stage of Qionglou, hundreds of men and women in brocade clothes applauded and cheered from time to time while eating fruit snacks.

"Wow! Wow!! ”

A young man in a blue brocade robe shouted cheeringly, on the stage, it was Changbanpo who played it, and Zhao Yun of the white horse and silver gun killed Cao Jun was defeated and retreated, this is a martial arts drama, although it is not the favorite talent and beauty of the Song people, but it is extremely popular because of the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Sit down, everybody looks at us." A young man dressed as a white-clothed student next to Tsing Yi pulled the excited young man in Tsing Yi and said a little shyly.

"What are you afraid of, no one here recognizes us." The young man in Tsing Yi said indifferently.

Jiang De stood upstairs, looking at this pair, he could see at a glance that it was the emperor who was dressed as a man, and shook his head helplessly, Zhao Ji really doted on them too much, and he was indeed a little unscrupulous.

"Go and ask them to come up." Jiang De said to Gongsun Sheng, Gongsun Sheng nodded, and went down to do it.

The opera was soon finished, and the actor who played Zhao Yun came out after the curtain call and said, "We have activities in Qionglou today, and there will be a lottery in person from our Qionglou shopkeeper Master Yue, as long as you win the lottery, you can eat and drink for free in Qionglou for a month!" ”

"A month?"

"Eat and drink for free? This Qionglou is really going to have a lot of blood! ”

Hearing that you can eat and drink for free for a month, everyone is excited, who doesn't know that this Qionglou is a gold cave, if you eat better and drink better in a month, a few thousand taels of silver is basic, and tens of thousands of taels are not unusual.

"A month! If we win, we'll be hiding here for a month! ”

Needless to say, this lottery is a 100% shady operation, looking at Zhao Fujin and Zhao Jinluo being elated because they were drawn, Jiang De couldn't help but smile.

"Let these two emperors eat and drink well, and then, it depends on whether the official family will ask us for people."

Although he can't look down on Zhao Ji, Jiang De will not be so arrogant that he thinks that Song Ting's intelligence department eats white rice, and whether Zhao Fujin and the others ran out by themselves or were released by Zhao Ji have to put a question mark, and there are different approaches to these two situations.

After two days, no one came to the palace to ask Jiang De for someone, but the Imperial City Division was looking for two emperors everywhere, Jiang De couldn't help but be a little impressed by Zhao Fujin, although there is no electronic eye in this era, but it is also a kind of ability to escape from the palace without being discovered.

Jiang De even doubted that there was a secret passage in the palace leading to the outside of the palace, which allowed Zhao Fujin to avoid people's eyes.

- Yunwang Mansion

"Haven't Emperor Ander and Emperor Maud been found yet?"

A young man with a purple and gold crown and a folding fan in his hand sat on the right seat, looking at the people below with a gloomy face.

"Back to Your Highness, we have searched the entire Kaifeng Mansion, but we have not found any trace of the two emperors, and the subordinates suspect that the two emperors have left Kaifeng Mansion, or they have been hidden by someone."

A samurai dressed in the clothes of a forbidden army general said with his head bowed.

"Rubbish! Your Majesty was furious about this and gave me five days, and now it's been three days, and I can't find it, so I don't want your heads! ”

If he faced the civil officials, Zhao Kai, as the king of Yun, would never dare to speak out, but in the face of the various military attaches of the Imperial City Division, Zhao Kai really killed him, and no one would say anything.

"King Yun, what are you anxious about, the two emperors can't find it all at once, it's actually a good thing, isn't it?"

A man dressed as a minister sat next to King Yun, drinking tea and saying with a smile: "The letter of the two emperors said that they left because the official family wanted to marry Emperor Maode to my fifth brother, and it was simple for the two emperors to come back by themselves, as long as the official family promised not to marry the emperor to my fifth brother." ”

As he spoke, the minister put down the teacup and continued, "Your Highness, do you want the Taishi to come back again?" ”

Zhao Kai glanced at the warrior who was already sweating profusely, waved his hand, and the warrior hurriedly retreated, he just wanted to cut off his ears to feel safe.

Zhao Kai turned around and said to Cai You, "Ju'an, I naturally don't want Cai Jing'er to recover again, but how should my father deal with it?" ”

"Your Highness, in fact, as long as you let the official family know that the two emperors are still safe, and they just avoided it to avoid marriage, then you can't find the emperor, and you can't blame Your Highness."

"Safe?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, have you forgotten that contemptible people can write a hundred characters?"

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up and said, "Understood!" Then it's troublesome Brother Ju'an! ”

"Hey! Your Highness is a true dragon, and it is my blessing to be able to serve Your Highness. ”

Cai You is in his forties at this time, he is still in the prime of life, and with longevity genes like Cai Jing, Cai You feels that he should be able to live to seventy or eighty, so naturally he must be prepared for what will happen after Zhao Ji's death.

After all, there are courtiers who live to seventy or eighty, and there are very few emperors who live to seventy or eighty since ancient times.

Cai You put the bet on Zhao Kai, in fact, not only him, Tong Guan and others also support Zhao Kai, this is mainly because Zhao Ji himself likes Zhao Kai the most, if it weren't for Zhao Kai is the third son, the prince has no big fault, Zhao Kai can't replace the prince without great merit, and Zhao Kai would have been promoted to the crown prince a long time ago.

At this time, the most important thing in the politics of the Song State was to fight against Liao, and Zhao Kai fully supported this matter.

As I said before, the prince has no great fault, Zhao Kai has no great merit, and the position of the prince will not move, so what is a great merit? For Song Guo, the greatest credit was to recover Yanyun.

Zhao Kai in the royal family, Tong Guan among the eunuchs, Cai You and others among the civil officials, either for military merits, or to pave the way for the future, or for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, all gathered together.

For these people, anyone who stopped them from attacking Liao was an enemy, and even if they were as strong as Cai Jing, they fell in front of such an opponent.

After five days of searching, Zhao Ji still did not find Zhao Fujin and the others, but got a letter, judging from the handwriting, it was Zhao Fujin's words, and the content of the letter was nothing more than Zhao Fujin's disgust for marrying Caifu.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to temporarily dismiss the idea of marrying Cai Jing, and Cai Jing also smelled something from it, but he just closed the door.

After Jiang De got the news, he felt inexplicable, how could Zhao Fujin and Jin write a letter when they were both under their supervision?

Gongsun Sheng guessed three points, and felt that there were people in the court who did not want to see the marriage of Cai Jing and Zhao Ji.

Zhao Fujin and the others, who were eating, drinking and having fun in Qionglou, didn't know that the outside was about to turn the sky upside down for them.

In the court, with Cai Jing's departure, a reshuffle began.

The first is Shaozai Yu Shen Zhishi, this person became Shaozai because of Cai Jing's promotion in the past, and the possibility of his Zhishi representing Cai Jing to recover again is very small.

Then Wang Huang set up the Ying Feng Bureau, and he also served as the recipient, and he was allowed to use the Chinese and foreign money as he pleased, which was even more intensified than Cai Jing's Huashi Gang in the past.

Wang Hao and the others thought very simply, in the past, Cai Jing could give Zhao Ji ten points, and they would give Zhao Ji 100 points, and Zhao Ji would naturally not read Cai Jing anymore.

And Li Bangyan replaced Cai Jing and became Zhao Ji's most powerful playmate.

For a while, the already filthy officialdom became even more smoky, and the Qingliu could only drink every day to eliminate their sorrows, Li Gang couldn't stand it, and started Zhao Ji again, impeached Cai You and others, in the past, Li Gang killed all sides, but no one troubled him because Cai Jing looked at Jiang De's face, and Cai You didn't like Jiang De, so he immediately pushed the boat down the river and cried to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji waved his hand and sent Li Gang to Fuzhou.

This time, Qingliu was even more trembling, and he didn't dare to speak lightly.

——

In the Qiong Building, Jiang De was setting up a banquet for Li Gang to see him off, watching Li Gang drink a glass of wine, Yan Qing, who was accompanying him, couldn't stand it, put down his chopsticks and said, "Why is Brother Li a little woman, he was demoted today, and he will come back tomorrow!" ”

Jiang De also persuaded, "What Brother Xiaoyi said is reasonable, now that the Taishi has abdicated, the court is even more chaotic, the north is going to be troublesome, and Jiangnan is not stable, sooner or later there will be a place where my brother will be used." ”

Li Gang shook his head and said, "I only hate me, Li Gang, full of ambition, but useless!" As he spoke, he beat his chest and said, "Brother Xian, I hate, why can't I dissuade the official family, I have read so many sage books in vain!" ”

Jiang De thought for a while, and said, "It is also a good thing for my brother to leave the capital this time, today everyone knows that my brother and the traitor are not in harmony, and when he is swept away, the hundred officials will definitely think of my brother." ”

Li Gang sighed and nodded, he could only comfort himself like this.

After Li Gang left Kaifeng, Zhao Fujin and the two emperors were also bored, so Jiang De asked the shopkeeper Yue to come forward and recruit the two to write opera scripts.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye to the second year of Xuanhe, this year has revealed an ominous atmosphere from the beginning, the sky in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has not rained a drop of rain for six consecutive months, the seedlings are scorched, the harvest is hopeless, and the heavier and heavier taxes and the raiding of homes everywhere have turned the entire Jiangnan into a barrel of explosives, and as long as a little spark will blow up thousands of people.

-- She County

She County is the county guard of Shezhou, and it is also within the scope of Huangshan, so Mingjiao has a lot of industries here.

Mingjiao, like other sects in the world, has great experience in accumulating wealth, especially in the years when Fang La was in power, he even bought a lot of manors, on the one hand, hoarding grain and grass, and on the other hand, obtaining silver money to buy armor.

In a lacquer garden, Fang La watched the growth of the lacquer tree while listening to the reports of the people.

"I thought that after Cai Jing stepped down, the government would be better, but it turned out that they were all raccoon dogs!" Qiu Rixin, the enemy of the Daoist, snorted and said, "Sect Master, now that the sect members everywhere are not happy, I think it's time." ”

"Yes, Sect Master, we can't stand it anymore." A man dressed as a great monk said, "In the past few months, many of our sect members' homes have been raided, and the government really doesn't treat us as human beings!" ”

Fang La touched the lacquer tree and said, "It's not time yet, we have to wait for the imperial court and the Liao State to go to war, and that's the time for us to start an incident." ”

"Master! Master!! An old man hurriedly walked over and said, "Sect Master, there are a lot of officials outside. ”

"Official? How many people are there? Is there a forbidden army? Fang La asked.

"There are only thirty or forty people, who seem to be the people who should be in the bureau, only the box army, and there is no forbidden army."

"Should I be in charge? Let's go out and have a look! Fang La led people to the outside of the manor, and an official in green clothes stood in front of a sedan chair, holding a cucumber in his hand, and looked around while eating. Behind him were dozens of soldiers and servants with knives and guns.

"Hehehe, I don't know which adult arrived, and I lost my welcome below!" Fang La stepped forward with a smile and said.

"You are Fang La, I heard that you like to confuse the public with gossip, is there such a thing?" The official asked with an expression that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

"Hey, who is this rumor! Adults must not be believed, they are just a farmer and some fields. ”

"Phew! I think you're Diaomin! The official snorted, took out a few yellow notes from his arms, and said, "You Diao people have shown me clearly, this is the imperial seal!" I am a person who should serve the bureau, and the official family has learned that the lacquer tree in your manor is good, and it is just right for the palace to use, I have come to inform you that your lacquer garden has been requisitioned! Come on, go and put a seal! ”

"Wait!" Fang La shouted, "My lord, it is appropriate to give an offering to the official family, but the little one who heard that he also has to give money!" ”

"Hey! This kid really understands, that's it, this official is in a good mood today, so I'll settle accounts with you.

How many lacquer trees do you have in this lacquer garden? The officer asked with his eyes closed.

"There are more than 1,300 sumac trees."

"Okay, according to the market price, a tree counts you as five times, but is it less?"

"Not a lot, thank you, sir!" Fang La originally just hoped to play a better game, but he didn't expect that he could really ask for money, and there was a lot of it, so he couldn't help but be a little happy.

"Wait!" The official laughed and said, "I'm not done yet." The total amount of your lacquer garden is 6,500 yuan, 650 yuan of your tooth deed money, 650 yuan of head money, 650 yuan of Yicang tax, 650 yuan of agricultural tool tax, 650 yuan of cow leather tendon and horn tax, 1,300 yuan of entry tax, 650 yuan of silkworm salt money, 200 yuan of Quyin money, and 130 yuan of market money, which is 4,880 yuan. ”

As he spoke, the eunuchs in the hands of the official all turned around, "This is not over, there are also the carriage and horse fees, camping fees, and camp expenses that we have come out, counting you 500 guan, the total is 6,880 guan!" The official family is benevolent and righteous, if you want me to wait for a light penny, I will get rid of your fraction, as long as you have 6,800 yuan, so calculated, you still owe the government 300 yuan, Fang Zhuang owner, when can you hand over the money? ”

Fang La laughed angrily at this, first shook his head, and then laughed and said, "What a reckoning, I didn't expect that the official family would ask me to give money to the garden that took me, is there any reason in this world?" ”

"Hey~ What you said is so interesting, it is your blessing for the official family to collect your things, you still want money, come on, give it to me!"

Fang La's teeth were itching with anger, but he didn't see Fang La's order, he didn't dare to do it, Fang La nodded to the official and said, "Okay, good, it's just that there are many brothers in this lacquer garden, I hope the adults will give me some time!" ”

"Phew! I think you're shameless! I give you time, and who gives me time? Come on, give it to me! ”
