In the Spring Festival of the new year, they have raised their breath and snowed heavily, and the fog shrouded Jiankang, the capital of Southern Xia, inside and outside, the shadow of the city wall by the Qinhuai River collided, on the field, two or three zhang could not see the movement clearly, and the carriage that occasionally drove by, the speed was slow, and it appeared like a beast in the eyes of pedestrians, and after a while, it penetrated into the white vast expanse at the other end of the field of vision, and disappeared.

Since the prince was assassinated, the defense of the entire Jiankang has been strengthened, but in today's weather, although the soldiers on the city wall have increased, but the four sides are confused, and the soldiers in twos and threes have only raised the brazier, sitting around chatting and fartizing.

In the overlapping courtyards of the city, the sound of chickens and dogs has not yet sounded. Some of the ministers waited in their homes for the situation to change, and the stumbling movements and whispering voices were not long before they were drowned in the rolling snow.

Northeast of Jiankang Imperial City, Chong'an Wang Chai and Rui Wang Fu.

Among the hollow backyard flower halls carved on all sides, the most concerned figures in the recent Jiankang trend are Chong'an Wang Chai and Rui. Since Emperor Suzong's only uncle and younger brother, Fuwang Chai Mingyuan only has one son, but his brain is not very bright, everyone's eyes are focused on Chong'an Wang Chai and Rui.

Chai Yourui was wearing a robe, bald head without a hat, pulling a bun, holding Ruyi, and sitting quietly. The green smoke of the incense burner surrounded him, and a tea cup was placed on the desk, but there was no heat for a long time.

Chai and Rui were not waiting for anyone. The people in the mansion knew that the prince was not in a good mood today, and in his own mansion, he didn't know what to raise, and no one dared to come forward to disturb him. Although it is said that Daxia is guilty of killing servants, but people like Wang Ye killed the servants in the family, who dares to say anything? Just a life born to a father and mother is in vain.

Chai and Rui have been sitting here for I don't know how long, at this time, they only heard footsteps outside the flower hall, but it was the family who led the marshal of the Yangtze River in Southern Xia with a purple robe and jade belt to come here. The people did not dare to go in, so they bowed down and laughed outside the moon gate.

Fan Sui looked at Chai and Rui pretending to sit there, acting like a fairy, and immediately became angry, and raised his voice: "The eyebrows are burning inside and outside the court, but I am the only one who cares, what are you selling here!" The official family's health is not as good as day by day, and the major palaces in Jiankang are in a lot of turmoil, and Lu Daozhi, who was killed that day, took my sore foot again at this critical time, and I fell, see who else will run for you. ”

Chai and Rui raised their heads slightly, watched Fan Sui walk in angrily, didn't speak, and lowered their heads again. muttered to himself, and he didn't know which Taoist scripture he was reading.

Fan Sui saw him pretending to be there, and shouted: "Prince, you are pretending to be demented, I will let go, anyway, it is all done by subordinates, there is no big crime, move it, it is a big deal to leave this court and go to a big state to have a good time, but which of the prince's affairs has to be really run for you." ”

Chai and Rui raised their heads warmly, frowned, and said: "Fan Sui, you are really noisy, Zhang Zhenren said that my heart was too hot, and every day I had to burn incense for an hour to keep quiet, and today's hour's kung fu was all disturbed by you, no matter what, I avoid the world, and the world is still forcing people to come." Rest assured, everything is under my control. As for your affairs, it is not easy to do, and it is not all bad for you to take this opportunity to throw out some disobedient people, I will ensure that you are not a big deal. Do you think those people are easy to deal with, Xie and Lu are both thousand-year-old families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are also something that people from the north like me can compete with? past

The fortified city with the walls of brass will be disintegrated from within, and even I will have to make a false deal with them, let alone you. You just have to do as I say, and when the day comes, you will not be left with what you deserve. ”

Compared with the Chong'an Wang's Mansion in the northeast of Jiankang City, the Jia Ruxiang Mansion in the southwest of Lin'an City is a different scene.

A few years ago, this strict uncle's mansion was very deserted for a while, and two years ago, Uncle Jia used Gan Fengxiangfan's victory to move down Shi Mijian, and after being the head of a hundred officials, there were many chariots and horses. The former protégés are old and old, and hundreds of officials of the court have come to visit them. In the past two years, Prime Minister Jia Cheng has instructed his family members to keep a low profile, let them fight first, and we will just watch from the side. Those who didn't need to meet were all blocked by their families.

Even though Jia Xianggong didn't see any guests, outside the door, the sedan chair was still full, and the elites of Daxia wearing vermilion were chatting and waiting outside the door. They knew that they would not be able to see Jia Guo's uncle Jia Xianggong now. It's one thing to see you and not to see it, but it's another thing to put on enough respect here, if you save this little effort, Jia Xianggong didn't like you that day, so you can't afford to eat?

In front of Prime Minister Jia's mansion, these officials in different costumes stood in front of the palace like peddlers and pawns to talk, the topic was not far from the current war and dispute inside and outside the capital gate, most of the high-ranking ministers in the court joined the war group, the strength of the two sides was half a catty, only the left prime minister who was above 10,000 people under one person did not show his attitude, just a day or two ago there was an ambassador in the palace who came to give a word to the official, this kind of move is more like the political vane in Jiankang City, attracting everyone's attention. In the past two days, there have been more people in Jia Xianggong's mansion than before.

However, after all, Jia Xianggong has become a fine character a few times and is very calm. Still rejecting guests due to illness, only a few people were able to enter this gate. These people outside the door can only ask the door to post it.

When these people were talking lively, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when they looked up, they saw a group of men and horses holding a military general in a purple robe and jade belt coming from the corner of the street. Although everyone is dressed in simple clothes, they are all tall and sturdy, with thick hands and feet, and they are people in the army at first glance, and they are Yang Liangjie Yang Marshal who promoted the Jiankang Forbidden Army.

Yang Liangjie dismounted in front of Jiafu, and the people of Jia's family changed their big behavior in front of other people, and came over to help lead the horse and take care of it. smiled and said to Yang Liangjie: "Yang Xianggong, please go to the front hall and wait, my Xiangye is playing chess with Shi Chongxianggong, and is studying the new formula made by Yang Xianggong's nephew Xiangyang Xiaowang a few days ago." These horses are taken care of, as for these military masters, please serve tea in the concierge, Yang Xianggong, please please inside. ”

Yang Liangjie smiled and motioned to his subordinates to hand over the door bag, although Jia Xianggong was kind to himself, but these etiquettes still did not dare to be missing. He also saluted the Wenchen who greeted you: "Panic, Jia Xianggong summoned, don't dare to delay here, wait for Jia Xianggong to come out, a certain family will hold a banquet in Wanghailou to apologize to all the adults, Yang is disrespectful." ”

Everyone naturally made a stack of voices, and in the envious eyes of everyone, they walked into the prime minister's mansion.

When he came to the inner house, the deacon of the inner house was close to the gate and introduced Yang Liangjie into the flower hall. Jia Ru's mansion is naturally far-reaching and vast, and Yang Liangjie is also a generational Houmen, so he didn't feel anything along the way. In the flower hall, Jia Ru was dressed in white and was chatting and laughing with Shi Chong, the secretary of the ministry, and Shi Chong saw Yang Liangjie coming over from a distance. whispered to Jia Ru, Jia Ru raised his hand and beckoned to Yang Liangjie, signaling him to come over

。 He retreated from the left and right people.

Yang Liangjie stepped forward to salute Jia Ru, and hugged his fists to salute Shi Chong, but Shi Chong came politely and returned the courtesy. In their department, there are many places where they borrow from Yang Liangjie and the Wuchen Group, and their demeanor is very close.

When Yang Liangjie sat down, Jia Ru was not polite, and when he was in his life, he couldn't make any fuss about it. Raised his hand and said, "What news is there from your nephew?" ”

Yang Liangjie got up, straightened up, and replied: "Xiao Gantang didn't give any specific explanation, the Tao promised not to take sides in the newspaper for the time being. My grandfather knows that since my nephew has been in good health, he has often done things that are unexpected, and I am afraid that no one can influence his thoughts. If the thing is not done completely, please punish the public! ”

Jia Ru listened with fascinated eyes, and nodded again: "Although the king of Xiangyang is young, he knows how to be an official and a person, this is a smart approach, the court has not decided in a day, I don't think he will wade into this troubled water, in front of him, you and I have fallen to the lower level." Write an excerpt tomorrow, and I will hand it to the official family for you, and say that the king of Xiangyang is also a disaster relief and a newspaper, and he also has to raise 500 craftsmen, and there are many insufficient funds, and the official family can allocate some silver taels from the household department to make up for the lack of funds of the king of Xiangyang. That's good, what we want is that the king of Xiangyang doesn't take sides. ”

Shi Chongdao: "The tripartite wrestling, it is clearly a battle of war and peace, and the secret is who can inherit the unification, and the number of physical conditions of the official family has been increasing recently, is it to choose a relative?" Or can you choose it? Xianggong means, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first. ”

Jia Ru snorted lightly: "Ximin, the official's body is a courtier, just take it casually?" If something big doesn't happen, you don't have to be so frivolous. ”

Shi Chongdeng's face was red when he was red, and he bowed deeply when he avoided his position. He has also been proud these days.

Jia Ru said to Yang Liangjie again: "The other sister has sixteen, right?" For the time being, don't let the family go, keep the new emperor and send it to the palace after he ascends the throne. ”

Yang Liang knelt down excitedly and paid homage to Jia Ru.

At night, Gao Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the inner house, Gao Cheng, the fake son of Gao Feng, who is known as the hidden phase, was led by the housekeeper to Jia Ru's study, "Please wait a while, I will go to report to the prime minister!" The housekeeper entered the study, and after a while, he came out and said, "The prime minister invites the yamen to come in!" ”

Gao Cheng walked into the study and knelt down to say goodbye: "The younger generation sees the Prime Minister!" Jia Ru was reading a book under the lamp, he put down the book and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a virtuous nephew, please get up quickly!" ”

"Thank you, Shibo!"

Jia Ru really hated eunuchs calling him uncle, so he asked with a hypocritical smile: "Is your father in good health?" "Thank you Shibo, my father is in good health, and he asked me to send a letter to Shibo."

As he spoke, Gao Cheng respectfully handed over a note, Jia Ru took the note, looked at it, and asked, "Does your father have any other messages?" ”

"My father asked me to bring a message to the prime minister when I was leaving, and with Lu Daozhi charging in front, we don't have to bother, just a little help."

Jia Ru nodded: "I understand, you go back and tell your father, I will do what he wants, please rest assured!" ”

The nephew retired.

After Gao Cheng left, Jia Ru bowed his head and pondered silently, just ten days ago, Lu Daozhi, the head of Dali Temple, submitted the inspection report of the military prison to the official's family, this matter, like other affairs, has not been heard, Lu Daozhi twice in a row asked to check the army's grain and grass military admonition, but did not get a response.
