Chapter 196: Returning to the Dynasty [I]

As soon as Gongsun Xuanxu stepped into the room, he asked, "Does the prince want to intervene in the dispute between the court and Fan Xian?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Gongsun Xuanxuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly persuaded: "The prince is not impulsive!" This seems to be a dispute between the two, but it is actually a matter of moving the whole body. Needless to say, Fan Yan is supported by Li Xianggong. Although Pang Ji does not have much support, he has a good reputation among the people in Bianliang, and the official family has to pay attention to one or two of the troubles that go out! There is no such thing as who wins or loses, this is a war in which one thousand enemies are killed and eight hundred are lost, and the winner is especially defeated. ”

Zhao Yu did not deny it, but showed a look of agreement, nodded and said: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, this king thinks so!" ”

At this moment, Gongsun Xuanxu was a little dumbfounded, stunned, and then said with an angry face: "Isn't the prince playing the poor way? ”

It's no wonder that Gongsun Xuanxu is angry, since you Zhao Yu know this truth and still interfere, what else is it mixed with? Ten of the ** must not be able to bear their own twitter, used to perfunctory their own words!

Zhao Yu hurriedly reassured: "Sir, don't be angry! ”

"Humph!" Gongsun Xuanxu snorted coldly and did not speak.

Zhao Yu explained: "Mr. knows one thing about the political affairs in the officialdom and doesn't know the other. What Mr. saw was the battle between Pang Zhuan's envoy and Fan Buzhi, and even more saw Li Xianggong's protection, but he didn't see Lu Yijian, an old horseman, sitting on the side and watching the tiger fight. ”

Gongsun Xuanxuan was stunned and said, "Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight? Why? Isn't Fan Buzhi old with Lytanfu? When Queen Guo was deposed, Fan Buzhi made a lot of efforts! ”

Zhao Yu sneered: "How could this king not know? However, you don't know that Lu Yijian, the old horseman, fooled Fan Buzhi, and he recommended Fan Buzhi as the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and the third envoy of Quan, and asked Cheng Tianqiu to make way for him. Fan Buzhi couldn't be happy for a few days, and there were many officials below who criticized this, you said that if there was no Lu Yijian, an old horseman, fanning the flames behind him, would the people below dare to do this? ”

Gongsun Xuanxuan was stunned, and said in disbelief: "Probably not!" After the abolition at the beginning, even Lu Tanfu also suffered a lot of criticism, although he carried the power of extinction, but I am a literati who are not afraid of death! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "The problem is not this, the problem is that this matter has been heard by the sixth brother (Song Renzong)!" Otherwise, how could Fan Buzhi have been the three envoys for more than ten days, and he didn't even sort out the things in the three envoys, so he was exempted from the three envoys with illness? Even the straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion has become a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion! It's just one word missing, so I don't know how much rank and power are missing! In terms of official position afterwards, he just gave Fan Buzhi a reassurance in the matter! ”

The rest of the matter, Gongsun Xuanxu is not difficult to guess. After such a farce, it was strange that Fan Yan didn't fall out with Lu Yijian, he Lu Yijian took advantage of it, and he Fan Yan charged first, but he retreated from the three envoys in a panic, and finally just won a consolation prize for the matter and the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was very bullish, but in the early Song Dynasty, it was just a Jilu official! And the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion can be regarded as half of the Jilu official, the emperor wants you to have something to do, the emperor doesn't want you, just stay in Longtu Pavilion to read the newspaper and drink tea!

Even when it came to this point, Gongsun Xuanxu hesitated for a while, but he still didn't change his opinion. "Although the prince said this, it's just that we are far away in Qingzhou, what can we do greatly?"

Zhao Yu indifferently spit out two words: "You need to know!" ”

Gongsun Xuanxu was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "It's not wise to stimulate Lu Tanfu so much!" ”

In the final analysis, Gongsun Xuanxu thinks that the current Zhao Yu does not have enough strength to collide with Lu Yijian.

A trace of bitterness flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes, and he said slowly: "There is no way anymore!" How many old ministers who supported the sixth brother during the Ming Dao period are left? Now it's just Li Di, Fan Wei and a few other people who are struggling to support it! Although this king has a gap with them, it's just that the biggest enemy now is Lu Yijian. It's like the Three Kingdoms time, Liu Bei relied on Jingzhou, isn't Sun Quan angry? Angry, but with the great enemy of Cao Ying in front, all contradictions have to be pressed! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu turned his head and looked at a painting hanging on the wall, the picture of the Southern Tang Dynasty lady Zhou Wenju, a famous artist of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the fifth generation, silent and elegant, the moon bent brightly, but there was a bit of deep palace loneliness silently.

Pretending to watch and not being noticed, Gongsun Xuanxu couldn't help but sigh softly and muttered: "Lord Wang, people are like the moon, you need to understand the way of surplus and shortage, don't force it, otherwise you will be lonely!" ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't know what I want!" ”

Yes, Zhao Yu stayed honestly, and Lu Yijian didn't have Zhao Yu's method, at most, he cut the meat with a blunt knife, slowly cutting Zhao Yu's power, and finally making Zhao Yu an idle prince. At most, it is to let Zhao Yu go to other places to settle down. In the eyes of Gongsun Xuanxu, who was born at the bottom, this is also a good choice. Although he has no power, Zhao Yu's own money is enough for his expenses, not to mention that it is impossible for the saint to treat his own brother lightly.

In the second year of Jingyou, on February 11, Zhao Yu asked to return to Beijing to take up his post, and sent his own soldiers to Bianliang City. On the seventeenth, Song Renzong's review also came back, and a simple reply was 'accurate'!

…………

In the second year of Jingyou, February 25, in the morning, Chenqiao Wharf outside Guangji Gate in Bianliang City.

On this day, as soon as the sky was brightened, there were officials of Kaifeng Mansion and soldiers of the forbidden army to clear the field, dozens of officials wearing soap suits fiercely holding water and fire sticks, to disperse the coolies and merchants near the wharf, and even several merchant ships were ordered to anchor in the reeds in the west, and the entire wharf was empty.

The Song people were wealthy and idle. Seeing this situation, many swingers came over to join in the fun. However, they soon realized that something was wrong, and even the forbidden army sent a whole number of soldiers and horses. The forbidden army and the government service are completely two different concepts.

If the government service is equivalent to the people's police, then the armed police are the township soldiers, the garrison army is the box soldiers, and the forbidden army is the field army! That's it, knowledgeable prodigals have found that the forbidden army that came is not the outer forbidden army, but the inner forbidden army! Fierce Army!

The Inner Forbidden Army, also known as Banzhi, is responsible for garrisoning the palace, which is not the order of the current saint, even the Privy Council cannot drive it.

"There are so many people in this class, who is coming? With such a big pomp, could it be that the expatriate minister returned to the court? A prodigal couldn't help but speculate.

As soon as these words came out, a businessman immediately sneered: "I don't have any knowledge!" If it is a foreign minister who returns to the court, it is not only the forbidden army that comes, but the Kaifeng Mansion Yin and all the doctors have come to greet him, and there is only Ban Zhi. ”

For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and some people said that it was the envoy of the Liao people who came. However, some people retorted that no one from the Ministry of Rites came, how could it be that the scholars of the Liao Kingdom came?

No matter what the people said, the Forbidden Army was like a wall, blocking an open space. After half a ring, a carriage surrounded by a dozen retinues came, the carriage was very low-key, and a middle-aged man in a green robe got off the car.

The insight at the feet of the Son of Heaven was naturally no better than in other places, and the onlookers immediately saw that the person was a eunuch. So they all said that it might be the family of a noble family who came to Bianliang. It's just that someone immediately retorted, can that noble family command the officials of Kaifeng City?

Since Pang Ji was a judge in Kaifeng Mansion and beat up the chamberlain sent by Shang Meiren, no official of Kaifeng Mansion dared to open the back door to the harem. Aren't they afraid of death?

There is the moral high ground set by Pang Ji, once this matter is discovered, he will be scolded by Qingliu immediately, not to mention how many twists and turns there are, the foam alone is enough to spit out the official's face.

While talking, someone came again, this time not by carriage, but by official sedan chair, the official official who opened the road held high plaques such as "quiet" and "avoidance", and there were two horses on the left and right, and at a glance this posture knew that it was a high-ranking official.

The people in the official sedan chair got out of the sedan chair, and someone immediately recognized them. There was a bit of irrepressible surprise in his voice. "It's Cheng Tianqiu of the third envoy! Cheng Xianggong! ”

"Who is this coming? Even Cheng Xianggong came to greet him in person! ”

Although the three envoys are not strictly speaking, they are not considered prime ministers, but the power of the three envoys is too heavy, even greater than the power of some prime ministers in the court. Officials who serve as the three envoys in the civil society are generally given the honorific title of Xianggong. (In the Song Dynasty, only the prime minister could be honored as such.) ）

"Look! Uncle Li is also here! Although Li Yonghe is low-key, he can't stand his status, and some businessmen have always wanted to get through him. This is not! As soon as the man got out of the carriage, he was immediately recognized by the merchant.

"I can't imagine that Uncle Guo's popularity is so high!" Cheng Lin, the third envoy, greeted Li Yonghe and teased.

Although Li Yonghe is old, he can still see that he must be a beautiful man when he is young. patted the sky blue civilian clothes on his body, and said with a wry smile: "It's just some businessmen!" What kind of popularity does it come from, but Ji Xiang controls the finances of my Great Song Dynasty, and more people want to be close to Ji Xiang! ”

Cheng Lin laughed, he knew that it was useless to talk too much on this topic, so he diverted the topic and said: "The king of Changsha has been on Jingdong Road for more than two years, but he has not returned to the court. This time, he suddenly proposed to return to the DPRK to take up his post, does Uncle Guo know what it is for? ”

Li Yonghe is used to being low-key, and he said that he didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't show it at will. smiled and said perfunctorily: "The affairs of our sons and nephews, where can we elders manage it?" But come to think of it, the king of Changsha is afraid that he is thinking of his relatives! ”

Cheng Lin scoffed at this, who is Zhao Yu Cheng Lin and he have been together on Jingdong East Road for more than half a year, how can they not know? Missing a family? How can it be?

Before Cheng Lin could come up with a cliché topic, there was already another person on the other end.

Without turning around, Cheng Lin had already gotten the answer from the discussion of the onlookers nearby. "Wow! It's actually someone from Tianbo Mansion, the palace, the scholars, and the generals are all here, who has traveled so widely? ”

Cheng Lin didn't know why, her brows furrowed slightly, although she quickly stretched out, as if the action just now didn't exist. Li Yonghe, who was next to Cheng Lin, flashed an unnoticed light in his eyes, and looked thoughtfully at the Guangji River not far away, which seemed to be covered with golden scales.
