Holding Changsun Hong's hand, Chen Yu was like meeting an old friend who had not seen him for many years, and his eyebrows were so excited that his eyebrows floated, he pointed to the green official uniform of the same color as Changsun Hong's official uniform, and said with a smile: "Many years ago, after saying goodbye to Shuzhong, I came back to Lin'an Mansion to study in martial arts. Invested under the command of Lord Zhao Kui Zhao of Lianghuai, after years of accumulation, he has now been promoted to deputy general. ”

His chest was high and high-spirited, and the pride of the newborn calf was overflowing, and the youthful vigor almost washed away the dull air in the room.

"Congratulations to Brother Chen." The eldest grandson Hong sincerely congratulated the country, and it was a good time for the young man to show his grandeur to show his strength, and Chen Yu had the opportunity to show his strength and rise to the top.

"Where can you be as good as the eldest grandson brother, you are very talented, both civil and military, and your achievements are definitely above me, I don't know where the eldest grandson brother is now?" Chen Yu looked at the official uniform on Changsun Hong's body, and smiled happily: "If you can come to the Privy Council to meet Zaizhi, I think it must be a prince!" ”

The eldest grandson Hong smiled and said his official position.

"Yeongju?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned, he knew that Rongzhou was not a big state, nor was it a strategic place, and serving as a regimental training envoy there would not be a person who would be reused by the imperial court.

But he thought about it, since the Privy Council summoned Chang Sun Hong over this time, it must have a deep meaning, an ordinary group training envoy, there are so many in the world, why only summon Chang Sun Hong? Yeongju, a seemingly unremarkable small state, must have something special.

Thinking of this, the impression he had of Changsun Hong in his heart became more respectful, so he mysteriously leaned over and whispered: "Brother Changsun, do you know which adults are waiting to see us?" ”

This matter, when he was on the ship in the past two days, Meng Hui had already mentioned it to Wang Kui and Meng Hui, Wang Kui was okay, he was born a scholar and knew how to be reasonable, and he had entered the capital many times, so he had a score in his heart. However, Changsun Hong is different, and his reckless background is branded with the mark of a barbarian, which makes Meng Heng feel uneasy about him, and he carefully advises him.

"It's the two Lords." The eldest grandson Hongdao.

"No, Lord Fan and Lord Zhong have every opportunity, and he has to make up his mind about major military events, how can he have the kung fu to meet a little person like us?" Chen Yu gestured in the direction of Wang Kui: "Only a big official like Lord Wang is qualified to receive the festival of the two rulers. ”

"That'...... Who will it be? Eldest Sun Hong was a little surprised, he always thought that he would meet the two white-bearded old men.

"The person on duty today is Lord Zhao Kui, who knows the affairs of the Privy Council and the governor of the government, according to common sense, he should be seeing us." Chen Yu laughed, his face was colorful: "He is also the former official of the junior brother." ”

"Oh!" The eldest grandson Hong said movingly: "Zhao Kui! Is he your Shangguan? ”

"Exactly!" Chen Yu said with a smile: "He served as an envoy in Huaidong for eight years, and it happened that I was a martial artist, released Huaidong, put myself under his command, and was taken care of by him. Even a few years later, when he entered the pilgrimage as a privy colleague, he always thought about me, and if he hadn't appreciated and supported me, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

Eldest Sun Hong let out an "oh", revealing such a strange expression, his heart turned out to be covered by the great god Zhao Kui, no wonder the nobody Chen Yu would be so quickly promoted from a martial artist to a deputy general position that is difficult for others to achieve in a lifetime in just a few years.

Zhao Kui is a nobleman, since his great-grandfather, he has been an official in the court, and his father Zhao Fang is also a famous general in the Song Dynasty. The tiger father has no dogs, Zhao Kui and his brother Zhao Fan have become the pillars of the Southern Song Dynasty after a hundred battles.

And the plan to behead Li Quan, recruit the Red Turban Army, and re-incorporate the entire territory of Shandong into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is the most brilliant stroke of Zhao Kui's military career, and then after a little Huaidong, he guarded Huaidong for eight years, guarded the two Huai defense lines like iron buckets, and cultivated countless fierce generals, which became the ladder for him to enter the house and worship the prime minister as a martial artist.

Zhao Kui's prestige, at this time is in full swing, although his brother Zhao Fan has died of illness three years ago, but Zhao Kui alone supported the Zhao family's sky, the eldest grandson Hong vaguely remembered that more than a year later, after Du Fan and Fan Zhong died of illness one after another, Li Zong also had the intention of letting Zhao Kui be the prime minister, but was given up by the ministers with the reason that "the prime minister should be made by a scholar" and opposed to the martial arts execution.

Such a person is Chen Yu's backstage, and he is still light as a deputy general.

"Brother Eldest Sun doesn't have to worry, Lord Zhao has been in the army for a long time and likes to go straight, what he asks, what you answer, don't bend around like Xiucai, he is disgusted." Chen Yu took the opportunity to impart experience to the eldest grandson, and did not hesitate: "This time the imperial court summoned generals like you and me to enter the court, I think there must be a deep meaning in it, the northern captives retreated, and there was a good situation everywhere, most of the court intended to adjust the forbidden army and the town army in various places, and there were big changes." If we can enter the eyes of the Privy Council, our future will be smooth! ”

He turned his head to look at the other people in the room, put his mouth close to Changsun Hong's ear, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the lords of the court, and even the official family, are very worried about the heavy troops of several important ministers, and they want to take this opportunity to make some adjustments. ”

Hearing this, Changsun Hong nodded quietly.

It seems that the guess is good, even a general of Chen Yu's level has heard about it, and the wind that wants to release it has been blowing a lot.

Do you cross the river and tear down the bridge, and hide the birds?

Changsun Hong raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window frame, which was originally a clear sky of blue sky and white clouds, and I don't know when a dark cloud came, black and heavy pressed on the roof, which made people's hearts feel a sense of depression for no reason.

"It's going to rain." The eldest grandson Hong replied: "I don't know if it's big or not, did Brother Chen bring an umbrella?" ”

Chen Yu was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, but when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, he saw a clerk walking in quickly, and said to everyone respectfully: "Which one is the Sichuan envoy Wang?" Please come with me, the two deacons are waiting for you. ”

Wang Kui hurriedly got up, glanced at Changsun Hong, and walked out quickly.

The official didn't move immediately, but asked again: "There is another one who is the eldest grandson of the Rongzhou regimental training envoy, please come with me as well." ”

"Huh?" Hearing that he was looking for Wang Kui, the eldest grandson Hong thought that it was his turn to work for a while, and was about to sit down and rest, when he suddenly heard his name and hurriedly raised his head to respond.

The official stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, Changsun Hong hurriedly followed out, Chen Yu stayed in the house, his mouth open and stunned, he didn't expect that the privy envoy and the left and right prime ministers would actually call Changsun Hong at the same time as meeting Wang Kui.

The eldest grandson Hong was also strange, following Wang Kui, walking with the officials all the way, turning around in the Privy Council, straight into the back hall, all the way incomprehensible.

Compared with the envoys of the regimental training and the establishment of the envoys, the level is too different, just like the cadres at the section level are the same as the cadres at the ministerial level, one in the sky and one in the ground.

With a question mark flashing overhead, Changsun Hong was guided through the back hall of the Privy Council, through the twelve rooms, through the corridor of the Guard, until he reached the political hall, before stopping.

"Two adults, please come in, the two deacons are inside." The officer first made a notice to one of the guards at the door, and then turned to call the two in.

Wang Kui was also unambiguous, took a step in his robe, and took the eldest grandson Hong straight into the inner room.

The Privy Council Hall, the most important and confidential place in the Song court, the place where the Privy Council held a meeting with a group of staff to discuss important matters, from the outside, it was just a relatively tall hall.

Inside, on the left and right sides of the outside are several office-like rooms, in which a few officials are sitting on their desks, and further inside, there is a wide hall.

The place is big, but there are few people, and a high-backed chair is placed on the top, but there are only two people, two white-bearded old men.

The middle one, thin and not tall, sat on a chair and wore an official robe that felt like it was on a withered tree trunk, as if it could be blown by the wind at any moment, and his white bearded face had wrinkles like birch bark, and he was probably over sixty years old.

The other one sitting on the right was older than the one in the middle, at least nearly seventy years old just by impression, and although he tried his best to straighten his waist, his rickety posture could not be concealed no matter how strong he was supporting.

However, although the body shape is old, but the eyes of the two are shining, belonging to the kind of sharpness that can see through your heart and lungs at a glance, and look at them, you will unconsciously be pressed by its momentum and panic, the old appearance seems to be Tong Suo is not bullied, but Changsun Hong believes that once these two people are angry, it is definitely the fierceness of the thunder means. As the saying goes, people are old and fine, but it is appropriate to put it on these two.

"Xiaguan Wang Kui and Changsun Hong, I have seen the two rulers!" Wang Kui's face did not change, he bowed his hand calmly, and said hello in a loud voice.

Changsun Hong also agreed, the two old men nodded slightly, and one of them said casually: "Sit down." ”
