Luoyang Henan Mansion, the government office.

As soon as Jing Xing walked into the main entrance of the courtyard of the hall, he saw his master Bao Shou, pacing back and forth in the courtyard. When he heard the movement, he turned around, "Bao Xing, have you arrived?" ”

"Hui Erlang, it's not here yet." Jing Xing bent over, and the wrinkles on his face were a little deeper because of Bao Shou's impetuousness.

The son of Bao Zheng Bao Xiaosu of the Gift Department, Taishi and Lu Guogong. Wen Yanbo's son-in-law, who was sentenced to the military affairs of Henan Prefecture by Dr. Guozijian, and the deputy second officer of Henan Mansion in Xijing, who had 100,000 households and 20,000 garrisons, did not see the calmness of the minister at all, and he couldn't sit still in the room like a fire burning his ass.

This wants to let Mrs. Wen see it, but it is the face of the old Shangshu that is lost.

The old servant of the Bao family sighed secretly and said to Bao Shou, "The little one let the little four guard in the gatehouse, I'm afraid that Erlang will be in a hurry, so I'll come back and talk about it first." ”

"I'm in a hurry if I don't have news, why am I in a hurry if I have news?" Bao Shou was anxious, "Jing Si is unstable, or you go back and keep an eye on it." ”

"The little one understands." Jing Xing responded, but did not move, and put on a worried face, "Erlang......"

"Grandma, can you go back and say yes?" Bao Shou looked helpless, but still discussed, "This is a big deal, and my father-in-law is still waiting for news." ”

Since the master, who has been sentenced to Henan Mansion, was taken home by the young lady, Jing Xing and his Hun family have been with this Bao family Erlang, compared to the old father who died at the age of five, the nurse and his wife who have been by their side for nearly 40 years are the closest relatives.

Hearing Bao Shou mention Wen Yanbo, Jing Xing sighed, bowed his waist, and prepared to go out.

That is, Wen Yanbo's orders, what else is there to persuade.

After Bao Shou lost his wife, Wen Yanbo married his young daughter to him, and he has vigorously promoted him over the years. This love is difficult to repay for life in Jing Xing's eyes - after Bao Shou's niece, that is, the second daughter of his deceased brother Bao Xuan, married Wen Yanbo's grandson, the generational friendship between Bao and Wen no longer needs a second marriage to maintain. What's more, Wen Yanbo, who has 50 years of prime minister's qualifications, is a high-ranking figure in the clouds, whether in the eyes of people like Jing Xing or in the eyes of most officials.

"Master, second uncle." Jing Xingcai walked to the door, and a person rushed into the courtyard, holding a thick stack of newspapers in his hand, "Jingshi Mansion has arrived." ”

Bao Shou didn't say much, took the newspaper from the palace, only looked up for a moment, and froze.

Holding the newspaper, Bao Shou was motionless like a statue, but his face changed again and again, and he didn't move for a long time.

"Jiro." Jing Xing called him worriedly.

Bao Shou raised his head, put away the newspaper, and ordered: "Go to the East Garden." ”

Outside the east wall of Luoyang, there are the elders of the Four Dynasties, the Duke of Luguo. The East Garden, where Wen Yanbo lives every day.

Bao Shou rode all the way from the palace, and he was already accustomed to the stability and comfort of the four-wheeled carriage, and the bumps on the horseback let Bao Shou

Breathlessly, he dismounted in front of the door, and the two blush on his cheeks were the traces of the galloping horse in the city. Casually wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, he hurriedly asked, "Is my father-in-law here?" ”

Dongyuan Si Yan stepped forward, and when he saw Bao Shou on weekdays, he could still talk and laugh, but looking at Bao Shou's appearance, he knew that there was something big, and he didn't dare to delay, so he replied: "Uncle, the Taishi should be in the medicine trap hall in the afternoon." ”

It is the peony flowering period, Luoyang inside and outside the purple and red, all kinds of peonies compete for beauty. On both sides of the road, there are people who put out pots of peonies to sell on the street, and pedestrians on the street, regardless of men and women, young and old, almost everyone has a peony flower on the sideburns.

Wen Yanbo's East Garden is one of the few peony gardens in Luoyang City, with nearly 10,000 peonies in the garden.

Whenever the flower season, the garden is as brilliant as brocade. Visitors enter the garden, walk casually, move to change the scene, but there will always be no lack of peony in the sight.

Only in front of the medicine hall where Wen Yanbo often stops, there are only a few peonies, the yellow one is Jurchen yellow, and the red one is Jian Xian red, all of which are superb, and the outside world has to be famous, and few people can see the beauty. In the outside world, Yao Huang, Zuo Zi, and Zhuangyuan Hong, which have dozens of gold, although they are in the East Garden, there is not a single one in front of the Medicine Trap Hall.

Wen Yanbo took care of it personally, and even told people that a few superb peonies in front of his medicine trap hall were enough to exchange for another East Garden.

When Bao Shou came to the Medicine Trap Hall, Wen Yanbo had a small medicine hoe in his hand and was looking at his baby peony.

In front of Wen Yanbo, Bao Shou gasped: "Yue ...... Father-in-law, Jing ...... Kyosato ......"

You can't ride a horse in the park, and after Bao Shou entered the garden, he drove more than a mile, and when he came to the medicine trap hall, he couldn't breathe for a long time.

Looking at Bao Shou's appearance, to this son of an old friend and this son-in-law of his own, Wen Yanbo's silver eyebrows couldn't help frowning, "What's the panic, take a breath before you speak." ”

If it was his son and grandson who stood in front of him so impetuously at this time, Wen Yanbo would definitely be angry. But to his son-in-law, Wen Yanbo didn't say much. But I was still a little disappointed

Wen and Bao have been friends for generations, and there have been three generations of Bao Shou. Marrying the young daughter to Bao Zheng's young son as a continuation of the string is exactly what Wen Yanbo did because he remembered the friendship of his old people. But if Bao Shou can have a better appearance, although it is not Wen Yanbo's purpose when choosing a son-in-law, it is also what he is happy to see. It's a pity that Bao Shou lacks the calmness and heaviness that Zaisuke should have, and this son-in-law can't go to the highest position.

Bao Shou was anxious, panting while saying the earth-shattering news, "Father-in-law guessed really well, Han Gang did it in the past two days." ”

"Let's take a breath." Wen Yanbo put down the medicine hoe and sat down, "Report the mansion to me." ”

Wen Yanbo took the newspaper, took the glasses from the boy on the side, and squinted his eyes and looked at them seriously.

First glance at the end of the ten lines, and then begin to scrutinize the text.

Wen Yanbo looked down at the newspaper, and Bao Shou's breathing gradually stabilized.

Looking at his father-in-law's eyebrows, Bao Shou could feel the shock in Wen Yanbo's heart.

This is the same as the mood of Bao Shou when he saw Di Bao Bao a moment ago, and it is not far from the content of Han Gang's letter that he learned from Wen Yanbo two or three days ago.

At that time, when he heard Wen Yanbo talk about this, Bao Shou's mind was full of sounds.

On the one hand, it is the content of Han Gang's letter, and on the other hand, it is the correspondence between his father-in-law and Han Gang.

Bao Shou once heard that Fu Bi has always appreciated Han Gang, and Han Gang also respects Fu Bi, and even appointed Fu Bi's granddaughter for his eldest son.

But the relationship between Wen Yanbo and Han Gang is very bad. In the past, Han Gang served in Jingxi, and Wen Yanbo suffered a few dumb losses in his hands. After that, the two sides were on the same page, although because Han Gang sat firmly in the position of prime minister, the Wen family had to try to make up for the relationship, but this relationship should not reach the point where the two sides wrote letters and exchanged news. And this is to do Yin Huo's thing, how could Han Gang dare to reveal it to an old opponent like Wen Yanbo in advance.

Until this time, Bao Shou still couldn't guess Han Gang's thoughts.

"I really want to be Yi Yin."

"The husband has found a good son-in-law."

"Five years...... I can't say it."

"The Great Council...... It's kind of interesting. ”

"Cowardice after all."

Wen Yanbo muttered to himself while looking at the newspaper.

The minister is not secret, and he lost his body, even a few years ago, Bao Shou did not see Wen Yanbo talking to himself and revealing what he thought.

Looking at his father-in-law's silver beard, he said in his heart, it seems that he is old and his mouth is broken.

I don't know how long it took, Wen Yanbo closed the newspaper, "Everything written in the letter has been done, it seems that Han Gang didn't deceive the old man." ”

Bao Shou could hear a little smugness in his father-in-law's words.

When the power of the dynasty can still have enough respect for himself, for any official, it is enough to be proud of.

However, if it is placed on veterans and important ministers like Wen Yanbo, it should not be.

When Wen Yanbo entered the two mansions, Han Gang had not yet been born, as for being so happy because of a little respect from his juniors?

'It's really old. ’

Bao Shou began to worry about his father-in-law, Han Gang would write a letter, most likely to pull Wen Yanbo into the water, with Wen Yanbo's current situation, is it still suitable to enter the court?

"It seems that Han Gang didn't deceive the old man, he really did it." Wen Yanbo didn't pay attention to his son-in-law's thoughts, raised his head, and asked Bao Shou, "Junhang, what do you think?" ”

"Originally, when the son-in-law read the news a few days ago, he thought that the prime minister would be the queen mother, so please set up a new monarch...... Later, I learned the content of Han Xianggong's letter to my father-in-law, so I was even more sure. ”

"yes," Wen Yanbo sighed, "I didn't expect him to really want to be Yi Yin." ”

Bao Shou nodded and admitted, "The son-in-law really didn't expect it." ”

Being Huo Guang is safer than being Yi Yin, after establishing a new monarch, as long as he abides by the courtesies and is rich and old, it is not difficult for the three generations of grace. But after being Yi Yin, no matter what happens in the future, when the Son of Heaven is restored, the extinction of the clan is the only ending.

No matter what Han Gang wrote in the letter before, Wen Yanbo and Bao Shou didn't think that he really wanted to do what Yiyin did.

Even now that it has been done, Bao Shou will never believe that Han Gang will take it seriously

"Jun Hang, in your opinion, how is this matter?"

"It's easy to give up, dig a pit and bury yourself, the son-in-law only thinks that Han Gang's trip is contrary to common sense."

"Are you sure this is led by Han Gang, not Su Song and Zhang Dan?"

"My father-in-law has already made up his mind, so why do I need my son-in-law to say more."

Wen Yanbo twisted his beard, "It must be Han Gang who came up with the idea." When meeting today's official, Su Song is old and will only resign, and Zhang Dian will only be abolished. Only Han Gang, who has a good reputation and wealth, and is reluctant to let go of his qi and official positions. But...... Han Gang will not let go of this net worth. Those who have good favors must have cheats. Why do you think Han Gang is so bothered? ”

Bao Shou said softly, "Except that the Son of Heaven will live forever, otherwise, Han Gang will kill himself." ”

Only if the emperor dies early, will Han Gang not be afraid of retribution in the future, otherwise sooner or later someone will covet the merit of restoration.

"Put Taijia in Tonggong...... Are you so good at being Yi Yin? Leaving the emperor here is a bane, in case the emperor dies early, he can't escape the blame, and the emperor is the cleanest. ”

"Then father-in-law, why is Han Gang like this?"

Wen Yanbo sneered, "Han Gang, he has been a Confucian for a long time, and he can't pull his face." has a good name, but is not willing to make real gains, the first rat at both ends, so it has to be. But he was also clever enough to create a council to bring the whole world down to his side. ”

Bao Shou shook his head, "Great Council, this matter is not easy to deal with. ”

"It's not easy, isn't that what to say," Wen Yanbo pointed to the newspaper, "What about the big council, how to assign the councilors, these days we have to convene the council and the elders to discuss together." ”

"Father-in-law is going?" Bao Shou wanted to know this

"Of course." Wen Yanbo did not hesitate, "Jing Ji thinks about moving, the old man has been in Luoyang for too long." ”
