is still staying in the mansion of the prime minister, or Xiao Tang and Liang Shijie meeting in the study, but both of them can clearly feel the atmosphere when they get along with each other, and it seems to have become more strange.

Xiao Tang gently blew the heat emitted from the tea in his hand, and tasted the mellow and refreshing Guzhu purple bamboo shoots, and suddenly felt that the aroma was rich and the aftertaste was sweet, and when Xiao Tang was reminiscing about the feeling of leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth, he was also more calm and casual when talking to Liang Shijie.

If he wants to return to Bianjing to resume his life, he will also come to visit Liang Shijie, the former official, both in public and private. And Liang Shijie already felt that Xiao Tang was becoming more and more unpredictable, and this time Xiao Tang "died and came back to life", and the steward in the market town would definitely tell Xiao Tang that he had considered replacing Xiao Jiaji with Zengtou City, and wanted to support another group of local tyrants to help him, Liang Zhongshu, secretly accumulate wealth.

However, now the six fathers and sons of the Zeng family have died one after another, but Xiao Tang is still sitting in front of him safely.

Liang Shijie coughed dryly twice, he had noticed that the atmosphere in the study was a little awkward, although Xiao Tang had to answer all questions, on the surface, it seemed that he was still very polite to him, the former benefactor, but Liang Shijie, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, felt that he was unpredictable before Xiao Tang sent to Liao, and now he can vaguely realize that his former general has gradually escaped his control.

It seems that this Xiao Tang has already learned that I want to conspire with Zengtou City, and his market town is trading in various places on the border of Hebei

Liang Shijie felt resentment in his heart, after all, he is still Cai Jing's son-in-law, and he can be regarded as a more important figure in the Cai Party. Hugh said that he has formed a bond with you, can you still let you get involved in the power of the Song Dynasty?

It's just that Liang Shijie was annoyed that Xiao Tang was playful with his attitude, but he didn't attack on the spot. At present, Cai Jing has just returned to Beijing, and Cai Dang has been relatively low-key during this period of time, except for Cai Jing's eldest son Cai Bian. If the DPRK and China stand on the wrong side during the confrontation, although they can be considered to be prosperous for a while, it will only be a matter of time before they collapse.

In Liang Shijie's opinion, Xiao Tang did not have any political wisdom, otherwise he would not have openly offended Gao Yu, another celebrity beside the official family, not long after he first arrived in Beijing. According to Liang Shijie's thoughts, Xiao Tang was also complacent because he had won the grace of the saint, and because he was angry that he didn't remember the old feelings, he thought that he was killed in Liaodong during the period of time when he wanted to merge with other heroes and his Xiao family, so he was dissatisfied with himself.

Thinking of this, Liang Shijie put his mind at ease, because if Xiao Tang was really so uncomposed, even if he wanted to break away from the Cai Party faction and set up another door, then sooner or later, he Xiao Tang would definitely be beaten into a place of no return by his father-in-law, Cai Jing, who had already played with power and scheming.

Everything about your Xiao Tang was given to you by me and my father-in-law, since we can hold you high, of course, we can also let you fall down hard again, and teach you to fall to pieces again!

And Xiao Tang also noticed the change in Liang Shijie's expression and attitude, in his opinion, the left-behind minister of the famous mansion has also undergone a lot of changes over the years. When Liang Shijie first arrived at the Daimyo Mansion and just succeeded to the public office of the Left-behind Minister, Xiao Tang felt very calm and restrained about him, but after a few years, Xiao Tang found that Liang Shijie often couldn't hold his breath, and when he negotiated with himself two or three times, his words would from time to time reveal that the government monopolized power in the Daimyo Mansion, was loved by all the people, and was favored by the government and should try his best to repay it

Money, power, or the satisfaction of being admired, most people usually feel that the more they lack something, the more they care about it. As Cai Jing's son-in-law, Liang Shijie has benefited a lot from officialdom, and I am afraid he will have to pay a lot of price. Xiao Tang secretly said again: The more greedy the greedy, the more greedy the more promoted, and the bigger the official, the more greedy the Song Dynasty This phenomenon is becoming more and more obvious, and now I can also understand the reason.

At this time, Xiao Tang's eyes suddenly glanced at a pair of calligraphy stickers hanging on the inner wall of the Liang Mansion's study, but he saw that the calligraphy on the calligraphy was charming and the words were heroic, and at the lower end of the sticker, there were also four big characters printed with jade chopsticks: Hanlin Cai Jing.

Now I just have to make a false deal with Liang Shijie, but in the Bianjing Imperial Court, sooner or later I will have to meet Cai Jing, the traitor behind him

Xiao Tang also knew that he was still young, and lacked prestige and qualifications in the imperial court, and the most important point was that he was still a martial artist. For him, the safest official career is to assist Cai Jing in holding the authority with all his heart, and then while accumulating his own qualifications in the court, he will either crush Gao Yudou and take away the important position of the third lieutenant and take the power of the Bianliang Forbidden Army in Tokyo; Either meddle in the military power of the Western Army like Tong Guan, and accumulate merits while the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia and the surrounding tribes is revived, or consume Tong Guan's old age and decline and then make a smooth transition, or tear his face with this concubine before this and eat away at the power he controls.

No matter which choice is made, you can't offend Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and other ownership treacherous crocodiles, since he was promoted by Liang Shijie, then he is attached to the civil official group headed by his father-in-law Cai Jing, not to mention the development of the court for more than ten years, then Xiao Tang's chances of being able to sit on an equal footing with those court officials will be bigger and bigger.

But Xiao Tang, who knows the direction of history, knows that he can't afford to wait for more than ten years.

After a moment of silence, Liang Shijie finally spoke: "You won the trust of the official family when you were in the Beijing Imperial Court, this time the saint thought that you died in the Liao realm, and the posthumous title of the emperor is magnificent, which also shows that after you return to Bianjing, you will definitely have a smooth career and prosperous official fortune."

Now that Prime Minister Cai has returned to Beijing, it is also the time to employ people, if you talk about the future of the career among the courtiers of the military rank, there are very few people who can match you, and at that time, you will be promoted to the rank of official in the palace marshal's mansion and the Privy Council, and when the minister Cai can return to the phase to control the political power, how the future is unlimited, I don't need to say much, right? ”

If I, Xiao Tang, were really willing to obey that Cai traitor, and only steadily slowed down the official position in the court for the sake of the famous title, maybe when the Jin army went south, it would be written into the "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of the Traitorous Minister". At the end of the day, it's still time to wait

Xiao Tang had such a thought in his heart, but of course he was still pretending to deal with Liang Shijie on the face, he smiled faintly and said: "If you treat each other with kindness as much as a mountain, I will definitely not forget the earnest teachings of Grace, and after returning to Beijing, I will go to visit Cai Xianggong, and I will be kind and relieved." ”

Liang Shijie frowned slightly, he opened his mouth, but for a while, where to start. After another moment, he snorted softly and asked again, "Well, when do you plan to depart?" ”

Xiao Tang looked at the calligraphy hanging on the wall in the study again, and said: "All the matters in the Xiao family set have not been arranged, and after preparing the people, horses and carriages, you can set off on the road and return to Beijing in two days." ”
