As soon as the Star King, King Jing, King Qing, King Yun, and King Seeing appeared, everyone stood up to greet each other. Hou Pingpan was slightly stunned, and after exchanging glances with the Star King, he quickly calmed down and came over to greet King Jing, King Qing, King Yun, and King Jian.

"Prime Minister Hou, don't come to harm?" Li Dingshan didn't wait for Pingpan to find him, took the initiative to come to the front from behind, and saluted Hou Pingpan, "Grass people Li Dingshan has seen Hou Xianggong." ”

Hou Pingpan never thought that Li Dingshan would dare to come to the Star King's birthday banquet, and was stunned for a moment before he smiled: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Mr. Li." Mr. has been away for a few years, and I don't know where to spend my leisurely life? It must have been some days since I returned to the capital, why did I only meet my old friend today? ”

Li Dingshan secretly looked at Hou Pingpan a few times, so that the people of the world looked sideways at the first power of the dynasty to wait for the prime minister, it was the spring breeze when he was proud, he was full of complexion, although thin, but did not lose the sense of majesty, majesty, three points of arrogance and seven points of calm, although he was extremely disdainful of Hou Pingpan, but he also had to admit that Hou Pingpan had lived in the phase for a long time, and there was really a momentum of looking down on the world.

"Li has indeed been in the capital for some days, and he wanted to visit the Prime Minister, but Li is now a civilian, just cloth, how dare he go to the Prime Minister's mansion? The prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door, and Li has no money to bribe the doorman, so he will not humiliate himself. ”

"Haha, when Mr. Li said this, is he saying that he connived at his subordinates to collect money indiscriminately and make it difficult for visitors?" Hou Pingpan laughed, and there was indescribable pride and disdain in his laughter, "The prime minister is strict under the rule, and the subordinates are strictly ordered not to make things difficult for anyone, why should Mr. Li be honest and slander the door of the prime minister?" ”

Li Dingshan smiled coldly: "Li is just joking, there is no need for Xianggong to be so nervous." Li is not afraid of the difficulty of the door, after all, the difficulty of the door is still in the public, it is an open gun, and the open gun is easy to dodge. What Li is afraid of is that he doesn't know when someone will shoot an arrow behind him, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent. Menzi is a real villain at most, and what he is afraid of is a hypocrite who keeps saying that he is for the country and the people, but only for his own selfishness. ”

Hou Pingpan held his hands in the direction of the palace and said generously: "Since the prime minister took over the phase, he has tried his best to think about it and dare not slack off in the slightest. After the promotion of the new law, the prime minister was afraid that the local officials would take the opportunity to hurt the people, so he went to the surrounding areas of the capital several times to pay private visits, saw the people living and working in peace and contentment, and was grateful to the emperor for promulgating the new law. What the prime minister has done, he is worthy of the emperor, he is worthy of the hundred officials, and he is worthy of the people. ”

"The heart of the prime minister is indeed a good expression to the sky, and Song also admires it tightly." Song Chaodu came to Hou Pingpan, raised his glass and said, "Song respects the Xianggong for a cup, the pillar of the Principality of the Prime Minister, the cornerstone of Great Xia, I wish the Prime Minister a long life of 100 years, and I wish the Great Xia country peace and security." ”

Hou Pingpan and Song Chaodu clinked glasses, drank them all, and looked humble: "The work of the original appearance is really not worth mentioning, they are all the wise and diligent officials of the saints, and the original appearance is just to respond to the people's will when the sky is good." Song Shilang, Mr. Li has only known people, and he is an unworldly talent, if he does not enter the court as an official, it is a misfortune for Daxia. You may nominate Mr. Lee as ......"

Hou Pingpan thought for a while, and his face was happy: "It just so happens that the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is vacant, and Mr. Li can serve as it." ”

Honglu Temple Shaoqing is an idle position, it is Cao Yongguo's position, known as Sleep Qing, Hou Pingpan is ostensibly for Li Dingshan's sake, but in fact, he wants Li Dingshan to come to the stage from behind the scenes, and bind Li Dingshan to the court with an idle position, so that he can see clearly at all times, in case Li Dingshan starts behind his back.

Song Chaodu naturally understood Hou Pingpan's meaning, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Song has just written a letter recommending Li Dingshan as the middle of the imperial history." With Mr. Li's talent, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is not what he wants. ”

In the imperial history, Cheng is from the six products, and his duty is to picket the official evil and correct the discipline. Although he has no real power, he can directly impeach any person, and his position in the court is quite transcendent.

With Li Dingshan's qualifications, there is no problem with the quality of the six products, but the problem is that Hou Pingpan will definitely not let Li Dingshan take such a pivotal position in the imperial history. There is a total of one imperial historian in the Imperial History Terrace of Great Xia, three to five people in the Imperial History, five or six people each who supervise the Imperial History and the Imperial History in the palace, which are used to supervise the words and deeds of the court and local officials, and can directly write to the emperor without going through the province of Menxia, that is, there is no need to go through the hands of Pingpan.

Hou Pingpan groaned slightly, knowing that Song Chaodu's intention to promote Li Dingshan was to be in charge of speech, although the current imperial historian Xu Dequan said that he was obedient to him, but the current two imperial historians, Lu Yuanyuan and Qian Jingsong, were quite arrogant, and were not attached to him and the Star King, and sometimes accused the emperor of not being there. If an even more disobedient Li Dingshan is added as the middle of the imperial history, I am afraid that the entire imperial history platform will fall.

What's more, the Imperial History Observatory has a new palace attendant named Teng Zhengyuan this year, this person is even more nitpicky about everything, the palace attendant Imperial History is in charge of the hundred officials will lose the etiquette, when going to the court, but if anyone is a little rude or untidy, he will not let go. Even if an official said something that should not be said when he went to court, he would also write a letter of impeachment, which made hundreds of officials annoyed and regarded Teng Zhengyuan as an outlier.

The court clothes of the officials of Daxia when they went to court were designed by Taizu himself, and even the official hats were made by Taizu. At the beginning of the Great Xia, the civil and military officials who followed Taizu to conquer the country were mostly from civilian backgrounds, did not read much, did not know etiquette, and when they went to the court, they either exchanged their heads and ears, or took off their shoes and picked their feet. Taizu is displeased, how can he generalize between fighting the country and sitting on the country? Later, Taizu ordered that civil and military officials were not allowed to sit when they went to court.

Hundreds of officials stood in the court, no longer took off their shoes and picked their feet, but they either exchanged heads and talked about each other, or stood crookedly, unorthodox. Taizu had a plan in mind and designed court clothes and official hats. The court uniform must stride up to hold it up, and the official hat has hat wings on both sides, long and narrow, not only can not be crossed when going to court, and must also be careful when walking, otherwise the hat wings will not only shake up and down, but also may shake off the hat, there will be a loss of decency.

Yu Yan, the squire of the military department, was originally born in the army, and he developed the habit of acting in a hurry. Once in the court, after bowing down, Yu Yan got up too fast, accidentally touched the wings of his hat, knocked off the official hat, and rolled to the ground, just at the feet of Teng Zhengyuan.

After Teng Zhengyuan picked it up, he immediately consulted a copy to the emperor, impeached Yu Yan for his disgrace in the court, and asked the emperor to fine Yu Yan for three months' salary. The emperor was unwell and reluctantly went to court, so he didn't want to dwell on such a trivial matter, but it was not easy to dismiss Teng Zhengyuan, so he had to agree verbally.

Yu Yan stopped doing it, saying that his official hat fell to the ground, not through his fault, but because of Zheng Yuandong, the household servant next to him. Zheng Yuandong admitted that it was his official hat that touched Yu Yan's official hat, but his official hat did not fall off and Yu Yan's official hat fell to the ground, because Yu Yan did not wear the official hat. Yu Yan not only did not wear the official hat, but also did not even wear the official clothes neatly.

Yu Yan explained that he was a little late, and in a hurry, he didn't have time to sort out his clothes and went to court.

The emperor wanted to settle the matter, and said that he would punish Yan with half a year's salary. Teng Zhengyuan said no, Yu Yan was not dressed neatly and went to the court, which was disrespectful to the emperor. The official hat is not worn properly, which is disrespectful to Taizu. It was another mistake to quarrel with Zheng Yuandong in the court. If you make a mistake on top of a mistake, you should be dismissed. Zheng Yuandong was also at fault when he touched Yu Yan's official hat, but he shirked his responsibility and should also be punished.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, why did Teng Zhengyuan bite people indiscriminately? Zheng Yuandong didn't recruit him to provoke him, why didn't he even let Zheng Yuandong go?

The emperor was annoyed by Teng Zhengyuan's quarrel, and in a fit of anger, he fined Yu Yan half a year's salary, Zheng Yuandong's three-month salary, and Teng Zhengyuan's one-month salary.

After retreating from the dynasty, Teng Zhengyuan was stopped by Yu Yan and Zheng Yuandong, and the two wanted to reason with Teng Zhengyuan. As a result, Teng Zhengyuan quoted scriptures and classics, and Zheng Yuandong was speechless and fled in shame. Yu Yan was far less civilized than Zheng Yuandong, and while he was annoyed and angry, he punched Teng Zhengyuan into a black eye.

thought that Teng Zhengyuan would write to the emperor again for this matter, but afterwards Teng Zhengyuan continued to accuse others of their mistakes as if nothing had happened. This matter was recited for a while, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were both afraid and respectful of Teng Zhengyuan, afraid that he would accidentally accuse him of his fault, and he would have to say that he couldn't argue. Respectfully, he is not the right person, and after the incident, he forgets it in a blink of an eye. Later, once Yu Yan was impeached, Teng Zhengyuan wrote to defend Yu Yan and let Yu Yan be innocent. Yu Yan was deeply grateful, and embarrassedly thanked Teng Zhengyuan in person, and said that he was to blame for punching Teng Zhengyuan last time.

Teng Zhengyuan didn't appreciate it, turned around and left, saying that he was not helping Yu Yan, but helping the truth and justice.

Although Teng Zhengyuan is like a thorn, it is an indispensable imperial history in the court, because Teng Zhengyuan does not favor any side, he only insists on his fair and moral position, even if the emperor has a mistake, he is also outspoken, is that although Pingpan and the Star King do not like Teng Zhengyuan, they also easily dare not take him, whoever wins Teng Zhengyuan, who loses the supreme point of losing morality, and who has become synonymous with being a thief.

However, everyone knows that although Teng Zhengyuan has iron bones, he has no officialdom wisdom, which is not enough to gain a foothold in the court, and he will not become the fulcrum of the court battle, but he will not become a big trouble for his henchmen.

But Li Dingshan is different, in addition to being outspoken, Li Dingshan also has unparalleled officialdom wisdom and rich experience in court struggle, and more importantly, he is a person of King Jing. Some things are just an isolated thing in Teng Zhengyuan's eyes, such as Yu Yan's falling official hat, but in Li Dingshan's eyes, it may rise to become an indirect contest between Yu Yan and Zheng Yuandong, thus dividing the relationship between Yu Yan and Zheng Yuandong.

Hou Pingpan pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "I think that Mr. Li is not qualified for the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, or the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is more suitable for him." This minister will recommend Mr. Li to Chai Shangshu as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the emperor will probably agree. ”

In this way, Hou Pingpan's implication is to exercise the power of the prime minister and forcibly prevent Li Dingshan from serving as the middle of the imperial history? Song Chaodu smiled slightly: "In this case, it will be decided by the emperor's holy will." ”

Hou Pingpan couldn't help but sneer: "The emperor has been unwell recently, and the appointment of officials below the fourth grade, the emperor doesn't ask, it is all determined by the prime minister's words." ”

Hou Pingpan is so arrogant, Li Dingshan can't help but sigh in his heart, in the face of power, there are too few people who can maintain their original intentions and fairness, think that when Hou Pingpan was not yet the prime minister, he was humble and low-key, and everything was easy-going, and now the prime minister is in power, and there is the support of the star king, and the imperial power is sluggish.

The government monopolizes the power, and then takes charge of the personnel power, Hou Pingpan will really cover the sky with one hand. Fortunately, he did not have the power of the army, otherwise it would not be impossible for him to ascend to the heights and shout, and the world would be waited by the surname Xia.

Fortunately, there are still King Jing, King Qing, Xia Xiang, Teng Zhengyuan, and the four great families with unclear attitudes but each with their own intentions, even if Hou Pingpan is in charge of the military power again, and wants to cover the sky with one hand, he must also take into account the power of King Jing, King Qing and the four great families.

Of course, Li Dingshan also knows that Hou Pingpan is just a puppet of the Star King. Hou Pingpan showed up and gave orders, but the person behind the idea was the star king. If the big thing is accomplished, Hou Pingpan will naturally be able to calculate a great achievement, and it will not be a problem to be crowned king and wait in the end. If a major event fails, Hou Pingpan will be a scapegoat.

"In this way, whether Mr. Li can become the middle prince of the imperial history is all up to the prime minister?" Song Chaodu smiled confidently, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Hou Xianggong, Song's letter, I'm afraid it has already been presented to the emperor's dragon case at this time." ”

"How so?" Hou Pingpan was shocked, turned around and saw the Chai Shi page of the Ministry of Officials, waved his hand and said, "Chai Shangshu, please come over for a while, I have something to ask you." ”

At first glance, he looks like an old farmer in the field, although his appearance is not good, but his eyes sometimes flicker, revealing the meaning of seven points of shrewdness and three points of confusion.

He had three long strands of beard under his chin, and when he walked, he trembled slightly, as if he was seventy or eighty, and the wind seemed to blow him into the sky. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chai Shiye's beard trembled slightly, and every step he took was very steady, and his feet were extremely stable.

Hearing the call of the Prime Minister Hou, Chai Shiye arched his hand at the same table, stroked the beard with his left hand, and held the wine glass with his right hand, and came to Hou Pingpan, he raised the wine glass: "What did the Prime Minister call me for?" Do you want to drink 30 more cups? ”

"Chai Shangshu don't drink anymore, you drink a lot of average, and if you drink again, you'll get drunk." Hou Pingpan couldn't cry or laugh, snatched the wine glass from Chai Shipage's hand, and put it aside, "Song Shilang recommended Li Dingshan as the middle prince of the imperial history, do you know about this?" ”

"Know? I don't know! Do you know! Chai Shiye obviously had six points of alcohol, and his words couldn't be said clearly, his eyes were foggy, and he stretched out a finger in his right hand to point to the sky, "Hey, strange things, strange things, why did the stars come out in broad daylight?" One, two, three, oops, too many to count, too many. ”

While speaking, he stumbled under his feet and almost fell, Li Dingshan reached out to hold Chai Shiye and said with a smile: "Chai Shangshu is careful of his feet." ”

"Chai Shangshu? Who is Chai Shangshu? Chai Shiye was stunned and looked at Li Dingshan for a long time, "You are Mr. Li Dingshan Li?" Ah, how are you still alive? Aren't you dead? ”

"How did Chai Shangshu know that Li was dead?" Li Dingshan asked.

"Last time, last time, I forgot when it was, once I drank with a person, he drank too much, and spit out the truth after drinking, saying that the news of Li Dingshan's death would come in three days." The firewood and stone pages turned around in place, and the dignified official Shangshu was actually cute after being drunk, he rubbed his head, and suddenly made a sudden realization, "I remembered, I remembered, who is he......"

Everyone listened attentively to who he was in the mouth of Chai Shipage, and there was a lot of hidden truth in this matter, which immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was no follow-up to the firewood and stone pages, and as soon as his body was crooked, he sat on the chair next to him, and fell asleep.

Hou Pingpan's face was pale, and he stepped forward and patted Chai Shiye on the shoulder: "Chai Shangshu, people are self-aware, and if you can't drink too much, don't drink so much, get drunk and make mistakes." ”

Unexpectedly, after a pat of it, Chai Shiye woke up suddenly, stood up suddenly, and pointed his finger at Pingpan: "Heh, haha, it turned out to be you, it turned out that he was you, it turned out that you were him." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hou Pingpan's face suddenly changed greatly, "It's not a system, it's not a system, come here, send Chai Shangshu back home!" ”

Immediately someone came, picked up the wood, and left. Chai Shiye rubbed his eyes, looked left and right at the two people who were helping him, turned his head and said loudly: "Hou Xianggong, I can't drink enough, the wine is okay, come, have another drink." Mr. Li, it's good that you don't die, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, go back and play chess with me, my chess is better than wine. Haha......"

At the end of the laugh, the laughter changed from cheerful to tragic, and the thin body of Chai Shiye actually made an incomparably rich voice, and he sang loudly: "Singing about wine, life is geometric!" For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been moaning to this day...... Those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want! ”

sang Cao Cao's "Short Song Xing" to the tune of Han Yuefu, which has a unique taste, especially the last sentence suddenly turned, ending with a poem in the "Book of Songs", everyone present listened to it stupidly, and stood for a while, not knowing what day it is.

Although Chai Shiye was only halfway through his speech, and he was suspected of being drunk, it still left a shadow and doubt in everyone's hearts. Hou Pingpan and Li Dingshan's past festivals, almost everyone knows about it. It is common to have different political views and different opinions, even if the opponent is defeated and knocked down, dismissed or degraded, it is also based on their own ability, but if they hire murderers behind their backs and want to put their opponents to death, it is too much.

Many people's eyes were on Hou Pingpan.
