After Zhao Hao retreated from the court, he went to the Imperial City Division to inspect for a while, and then took the carriage back to his house.

For the Imperial City Division, he has a lot of ideas to do, but now that the rebellion against the monarch has just come to an end, and he has just taken charge of the emperor's personal security agency, and he is the only clan with a position, it is impossible for the official family to be on guard without a little vigilance, so it can only be kept as it is for the time being.

As soon as I returned to the house, I received a big red bronzing invitation from the official.

Invitation from her husband Cai Jing!

Zhao Hao naturally understood what Cai Jing meant, this was to ask him to stand in line. As Zhao Hao becomes more and more favored, the voice above the court is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become a force to be reckoned with, and all forces naturally want to win it over.

In fact, Cai Jing's faction can be described as monstrous, the leader Cai Jing is a very popular minister, entrenched in the imperial court for many years, not to mention, his faction has the left minister Bai Shizhong, the right minister Li Bangyan, as well as Taifu Yang Jian, Dazai Yu Shen and others, among the first and second grade members, the Cai party accounts for six or seven percent, which was originally not Tong Guan, Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng's party can match. It's just that Cai Jing didn't know each other and hindered Zhao Ji and Jin to destroy Liao, which made Zhao Ji unhappy, and Cai Jing's party was too powerful, and Zhao Ji had always pursued the way of balance, so he forcibly cultivated Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao's party to come out and contain Cai Jing's party, otherwise Cai Jing's party would crush Tong Guan and others without any pressure at all.

It's just that for Zhao Hao, there is no question of standing in line, let alone considering the right and wrong of standing in line, even under the rule of Zhao Ji, he should be his own faction, and the final result is naturally ...... Whoever doesn't go with me, I will let him go with the bull and the horse.

But since Cai Jing has already placed an invitation, it would be a bit weak for him not to go, and this banquet is naturally going to go...... A group of civil officials still dare to set up a Hongmen banquet in front of him, who is strong in martial arts and controls the heavy troops of the Imperial City Division?

At this moment, the housekeeper came in a hurry, and handed over another invitation, Zhao Hao frowned, and asked, "Whose post is it?" ”

"Master Shangshu Jin of the Ministry of Rites."

"Oh......"

Zhao Hao smiled meaningfully.

The undercurrent is surging, in the Bianliang, there has always been no shortage of party disputes, and the court battles of the Great Song Dynasty will not stop until the country dies.

Fortunately, there are two posts, one about the middle of the day, and the other about the evening, which is not in conflict.

……

In late spring, the growth of all things is the prosperous time, the willows outside the city are as beautiful as silk, the spring flowers bloom all over the corners, the boats on the Bianhe River are vertical and horizontal, the city is noisy and lively, it is the best season for the banquet. There are all kinds of fun to be done. In addition, the hundred-year-old enemy country is now entangled with the Jin people, and the western thieves have also been subdued, and the Great Song Dynasty is the season when the frontier is safe and the four seas are peaceful.

If you don't have fun at this time, when will you wait?

So when it was nightfall, there was a lot of noise on the Bianhe River. The boat shuttles like a swimming fish, the brilliant lights illuminate the river as if it were daytime, and the charming singing voice is even more rippling with the spring breeze, which makes people intoxicated.

Zhao Hao took Fang Baihua and Zhao Ling, and came to the Bianhe River early as agreed, and before he approached the dock, he was immediately greeted by Cai's family secretly, and respectfully invited him to get on the boat, and then the boat swam steadily in the direction of the lower reaches of the Bianhe River, and after a while, he came to a huge painting boat.

This painting boat is as long as more than ten zhang, up to two or three zhang, three floors up, flying eaves and angles, beautiful, it is simply a small palace that moves, the painting boat is draped in red and hung with color, the lights are colorful, it looks extremely luxurious.

And it is far away from the hustle and bustle, quietly across the river, only a wisp of bamboo sound comes, which is even more mysterious and romantic.

The name of this painting boat is "Moon Tower", the first painting boat on the Bianhe River, and there is no need to play the flag on the boat, you can know it at a glance.

Zhao Hao boarded the carriage and took a closer look, is this the place where Cai Jing treated? Maybe it's because of the high position and unscrupulousness, this Cai Jing is indeed much more refreshing, this husband not only publicly distributes invitations in his own name, but also the time is set in broad daylight, just this kind of dignified and upright momentum is quite able to bluff people.

There is a spring light on the Bianhe River, leaning on the red sleeves of the railing, and the warbler sings and dances. This "Moon Tower" is very famous, even in the capital of the world in this prosperous place of gold powder, "Moon Tower" is also a good place for many princes and grandsons, rich businessmen and magnates to flock to.

The reason is very simple, it is high-grade here, and the bookish atmosphere is extremely strong.

is just a hot wine old man, and he can also drag the text and chant a few lines of poetry; A handmaid in a green dress and a maidservant in a green dress can dance with her sleeves at will, and she can also dance Zhao Feiyan's style; The girl in Wangyuelou may not be the most beautiful on the Bianhe River, but in terms of talent, she is the best in Bianliang.

Therefore, don't say that those who go out are Zen scholars, those nobles who enter the delicacies, the celebrities who play the piano to the moon, sweep the snow and cook tea, and those playboys who are used to flying around in the pile of powder, are also willing to come here from time to time to have a good time, this kind of place represents elegance and taste.

Zhao Hao looked at the painting boat, and as soon as he got off the horse, he heard someone laughing and shouting on the bow of the boat: "Brother Hao, everyone is looking forward to you through the autumn water." ”

Zhao Hao was shocked, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a young man about twenty years old, dressed in chic regular clothes, wearing a hat, wearing a moon-white robe, strolling down the painting boat, the original handsome and extraordinary appearance, with a bit of elegant and elegant air in his gestures.

, it's Zhao Kai!

Although Zhao Hao didn't even pay attention to Zhao Ji in his heart, he naturally wouldn't be flattered by Zhao Kai's appearance, but he still showed a surprised look on the surface.

"Minister Zhao Hao, meet Brother Wang!"

Zhao Kai laughed, stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Hao's arm, and boarded the boat affectionately.

When the two of them entered the cabin, they saw that in the spacious painting boat, two rows of young girls, swaying and jingling, waving their cloud sleeves and stepping on the soft carpet, were dancing. On the bow and both sides of the cabin, a line of several cases was placed, and some people were sitting scattered behind the case, talking and laughing, very lively.

Cai Jing, who was extremely human, also got up slowly, and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, the distinguished guest has arrived!" ”

Everyone got up one after another to greet them, Zhao Hao moved his eyes and swept away, and couldn't help but gasp, this full of high-ranking friends, the officials who served purple accounted for more than half, and the officials who served Zhu below the third grade like him were almost only thirty percent, except for Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, his old rival, the king of Jinkang County.

In the VIP seat in the middle, Cai Jing, Zhao Xiaoqian, King of Jinkang County, Bai Shizhong, Taifu Yang Jian, Li Bangyan and Dazai Yu Shen sat at a table, leaving two seats, one position and Cai Jing were side by side in the chief, and the other was next to the right minister Li Bangyan.

When Zhao Hao was stunned, Zhao Kai had already pulled him straight to the VIP seat and brought him to his position next to Li Bangyan. Zhao Hao was not polite, he pushed a few words, and then sat down calmly, which made Cai Jing's eyes light up again, and he felt that this son was refreshing and neat, not shocked, and he was a manufacturable material.

When everyone sat down, Cai Jing high-fived the dishes, and the delicacies were immediately passed by the beautiful maids. These women are all real Jiangnan people, with slender figures, delicate postures, facial features, eyebrows and eyes may not be first-class and stunning, but they are all beautiful and elegant. The slender waist is folded, and the thin white and soft jade hands are elegantly and neatly placed on the cloth, and the movements are soft and neat, which is pleasing to the eye.

After a while, in the hall, the atmosphere was extremely warm.

After three rounds of drinking, suddenly Zhao Kai raised his wine glass, looked at Zhao Hao, his expression was slightly drunk, and said with a smile: "My husband is my father's most favored minister, Mrs. Yang is my father's most favored minister, and Brother Hao is my father's most favored clansman. ”

Bai Shizhong on the side laughed and said: "King Yun is also the most favored prince of the official family, so it is not fate." ”

Zhao Kai laughed, stood up, raised his glass to Zhao Hao and said: "In the past hundred years, my Zhao family clansmen, there has been no one who has entered the phase, Brother Hao's young talent, he is really the thousand-mile horse of my Zhao family, and he will be the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty one day...... Come, drink this cup of wine, and Brother Hao and Brother Fool are really in the same boat. ”

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded again.

This King Yun is really ambitious, it seems that if it weren't for the too fierce Jin people in history, Zhao Ji was scared to take the initiative to abdicate at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Zhao Huan was forced to ascend the throne, desperately struggling and inevitable, maybe a good show of brothers seizing the heir would have come out.

Cai Jing's fox eyes flickered, and when he saw that Zhao Hao was at a loss, he also picked up his wine glass, and smiled at Zhao Hao: "Drink together, drink together!" ”

The rest of Zhao Xiaoqian, Bai Shizhong, Yang Jian, Li Bangyan and Yu Shen also held their wine glasses, stood up, and raised their glasses.

This is clearly forcing the palace!

Zhao Hao was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." We are all courtiers of the official family, and we are all people on the official ship, so we should be people on the same ship...... Zhao Hao drank first as a respect! ”

Just when everyone was stunned for a while, Zhao Hao picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck, and drank it all.

Everyone was stunned for an instant, Zhao Kai's face was even more white and blue, he never expected that he would put down his body so much, and try his best to win over, this official who is just a four-grade official, a clan outside the seven clothes, would be so faceless.

It's just that Zhao Hao said that the soup and water didn't leak, and everyone couldn't jump out of the thorn, so they had to drink it all with it.

However, then, the originally harmonious atmosphere took a turn for the worse.

Zhao Xiaoqian originally looked down on Zhao Hao, but saw that a group of first-class officials personally set up a banquet to receive Zhao Hao, and the other party actually didn't give any face, which was a great shame for Zhao Xiaoqian, plus he had been humiliated once, and now he had a new hatred and old hatred in his heart.

Bang~

Zhao Xiaoqian slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Zhao Hao angrily and said: "Bold Zhao Hao, as a clan, you should avoid the government affairs of the imperial court in order to clear yourself, why do you do your best to flatter, repeatedly bewitch the officials, and now you are in charge of the imperial city department, could it be that you have ill intentions and intend to rebel?" Hunting and plotting rebellion, there are different opinions, the truth is not clear, and the assassins and horses disappeared inexplicably, could it be because of you, and the thief shouted to catch the thief? ”

This is going to tear your face!

Zhao Hao slowly stood up, smiled indifferently, looked at Zhao Xiaoqian and said: "I am a scattered person in the south of the Yangtze River, I just entered Bianliang, I just want to make some spare money, and I am free in Bianliang, who would have thought that you would be forced to work hard in the name of Zongzhenghui, how could I sit still and wait for death?" Jingshi is sinister, and Zhao Hao just wants to find a big tree...... It's just that who can compare with the official family in this big tree in the world? Why can you rely on the official family, but you can't do it alone? If you are attached to the official family, you are plotting rebellion, aren't you all plotting rebellion? ”

He turned back to Cai Jing and Zhao Kai and smiled: "You are all just dependent on the official family, why should I depend on you?" As for Brother Wang...... Since ancient times, he should be the leader, otherwise the world will be chaotic, and I hope that Brother Wang will not be delusional! ”

After speaking, Zhao Hao immediately left the table, and took Zhao Ling and Fang Baihua, who were waiting at the door, and left.

Cai Jing looked at the back of Zhao Hao's departure, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and muttered: "The young man is ambitious, sharp, too arrogant, and doesn't know how to follow the light and obscurity, after all, it is difficult to become a big weapon. ”

Cai Jing's vision has his limitations after all.

This time he angrily reprimanded Cai Jing and the king of Jinkang County, not colluding with the traitors, sooner or later it will spread, and Zhao Hao has brushed his reputation again.

What Zhao Hao lacks is only military power and reputation.
