Kaifeng City at night, full of lanterns, under the illumination of lights, the whole Kaifeng City seems to be daytime.

Gao Hongyi had a deep conversation with Tu Shanyi in the left-behind mansion, and the two talked for a long time until they saw that it was dark, and then went to Tianxianglou.

"Hongyi, how does it feel to come to this former Great Song Imperial City today." Tu Shanyi and Gao Hongyi walked on the street together, looking at the lively crowd around them and asked.

Gao Hongyi originally thought that they were going to Tianxianglou by car, but he didn't expect Tu Shanyi to propose to go on foot, and he didn't put up any shelves, so he felt very comfortable.

When he came to Kaifeng this time, he also wanted to take a look at the night scene, and now he got his wish.

"The midnight is like a blue sky, and the voices of people are non-stop, and it is very lively. Although Weichen didn't know how prosperous the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty was in the past, seeing this scene today was also the first time in his life. Gao Hongyi said as he walked.

Tu Shanyi nodded and said, "Yes, the old man also sighed when he first came. But what the old man sighed was that the remnants of the Song Dynasty had forgotten the imperial city of the past, and they were free in today's Tokyo, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the society enjoyed peace, which was what the emperor thought and what the people wanted. How many years have passed, and the Song and Jin people have become one, so naturally the world is peaceful, do you say yes or no? ”

Gao Hongyi smiled slightly, but it was difficult to answer.

"Tu Shanyi's words are too old-fashioned, he is indeed a righteous and righteous person as a Kaifeng stayer, and he can see it clearly from what he did. Vigorously govern Kaifeng, manage the gold people, and the official reputation is good, and it is also quite effective.

However, as the commander of the Jin State, he secretly engaged in the Yongbyon scheme. ”

When Gao Hongyi went to see Tu Shanyi in the afternoon, Tu Shanyi told him the meaning of the word Yongbyon.

The main purpose of this Yongbyon affair was to contact the Song and Jin border chiefs, and to make them take refuge in the Jin State by various means such as bribery, co-optation, threats, and persecution. And the reason why Tu Shanyi said that autumn has arrived is precisely because Tu Shanyi has been wooing a Song State official for a long time and chose to take refuge in him in autumn.

However, Tu Shanyi had few soldiers in his hands, and he was afraid that he would arouse the vigilance of the Song State and delay his major event in Yongbian, so he made plans in advance and won over Gao Hongyi, the purpose of which was to let him lead the troops to protect him when the Song State chief officer took refuge, so as to ensure the success of the matter.

Of course, if this matter fails accidentally, then Gao Hongyi's duty is to take the opportunity to kill people and take advantage of the chaos to snatch the territory of the Song State!

"This person is looking for peace between the Song and Jin people on the surface, but secretly he intends to divide the Song Kingdom, his words are half positive and half negative, half true and half false!"

Such a vain righteousness is really a bit incomprehensible in Gao Hongyi's opinion. Weird, contradictory, or is it real and false?

Gao Hongyi needs to be taken even more seriously.

"Oh, my lord, I'm looking forward to you." A middle-aged man dressed in a fancy costume in front of Tianxiang Tower happily stepped forward to greet them.

"Qin Guangrui, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Building."

"Gao Hongyi, General of the Northwest Terracotta Division." Tu Shanyi introduced.

"Hey, it turned out to be the famous General Gao who fought against the Western Xia thieves, young and promising, extraordinary in his arsenal, amazing." Qin Guangrui was a little excited, "General Gao, your name is like thunder." ”

"Don't dare to be, Shopkeeper Qin is polite." Gao Hongyi said modestly.

Tu Shanyi watched them happily and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Qin, the rooms are all arranged?" Take us inside. ”

"It's been arranged a long time ago, Lord Disciple, General Gao, please come in." Qin Guangrui welcomed them in with a smile on his face.

Although there are only three floors in this Tianxiang Building, it is six zhang high and dozens of zhang wide, which can be called the first largest restaurant in Kaifeng City. There are all kinds of furnishings in it, all of which are made of fine materials, and the end is magnificent.

It is said that it is only a little worse than the Dayun Changlong Restaurant in the Imperial City of Jinguo, and it is only the size of the place, and the things in it are all as good as it. The chef is the imperial kitchen of the original Great Song Dynasty, and all kinds of imperial dishes can be described as delicious.

And this Tianxianglou also has the biggest feature, that is, all the servants are women, and they are all beautiful.

Because of this, if you want to have a dinner in this Tianxiang Building on weekdays, you need to make an appointment a month in advance, otherwise you won't be able to enter the door.

It's just that today's Tianxianglou is closed to customers, and everyone only serves Gao Hongyi and others.

"Shopkeeper, who is this left-behind lord invited, the pomp is so big. I've never seen it since I came to Tianxianglou, and before that, the prime minister came over, and it was only one floor. The housekeeper on the side asked in surprise.

"Yes, don't say it's you, I've been here for five years, and I've never seen our Tianxianglou do this."

"You say, will it be some kind of golden prince?"

Qin Guangrui smiled: "You guys, don't guess. The distinguished guest invited by Lord Tu Shanyi was none other than Gao Hongyi, the general of the Northwest Soldiers and Horses. ”

"Ah, it's him, I heard that General Gao Hongyi has 200,000 troops under his command, and the Western Xia Kingdom that is fighting on the northwest border is in full swing, and even the Emperor of Jin likes him very much. No wonder you are so polite. The steward exclaimed.

"This is the pride of our Song people's remnants, we are used to being bullied by the Jin people in the Jin country, and General Gao's operation in the northwest has made us a lot angry."

At this time, a female officer who served the food came out from the inside and said excitedly to the people outside: "Oh, I saw General Gao, he is so young, white, tall and strong, and he likes people." ”

"Ah, it's really fake, I'm going to see it too." A group of female officials are usually commanders, and at this moment, they all robbed the female messenger of the errand, and one by one they went to see Gao Hongyi.

Qin Guangrui smiled and didn't say anything, such an arrangement was not done in vain. Tu Shanyi has always paid attention to official reputation, opposed extravagance, and will not charter the entire restaurant. The reason why he closed his door today and only entertained Tu Shanyi and others was because of the orders of his eldest brother Qin Guangtai.

Although Tu Shanyi has been wooing the eldest brother, the eldest brother always shirks and makes it very difficult for him to be caught in the middle. Now, the eldest brother has personally instructed the courtesy to be kind and righteous, has he changed his mind? Qin Guangrui thought secretly, and he was a little puzzled.

"However, with this matter, it can be regarded as a current event for the eldest brother." Qin Guangrui said and ordered someone to entertain him.

In the room, Tu Shanyi sat at the top, and Gao Hongyi sat opposite.

Tu Shanyi picked up the wine glass, looked at Gao Hongyi and said with a smile: "Hongyi, you have a good way of governing the land." It is not only the pride of your Song people, but also the pride of our Dajin. The old man can get to know such a talented person as you, and he also feels that his face is bright. ”

"My lord's words are serious, Weichen just did what he did. However, the adults have won the hearts of the people in Kaifeng, and have been praised by the emperor many times, and the ministers and others have admired it. Gao Hongyi raised his glass and saluted.

Tu Shanyi smiled: "It's just to do some practical things for the emperor." Compared to your hard work, the old man is just talking about it, which is nothing. Hongyi, everything you have done in the northwest, the emperor has seen it in his eyes, and hopes that you will make new contributions. ”

"Don't worry, Weichen will not dare to go against the emperor's attention, let alone live up to the love of the adult."

"Okay, with your words, it's not in vain that I'm going around for you in the court." Tu Shanyi smiled and said, "I invite you to come over today, one is to catch the wind for you, and the other is to discuss with you another important matter." ”

"My lord, please explain." Gao Hongyi said.

Tu Shanyi said straightforwardly: "The right prime minister Pu Kuo is coming to Kaifeng Mansion." ”
