In the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty, there is a palace room, which is not rich in decoration, but the current system is second only to the official dormitory in the forbidden middle school.

It is the place where Zhao Heng, the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, who was established by the official family twelve years ago, lived.

This crown prince has always been a figure who does not have a strong sense of presence in the Great Song Dynasty. What people know is that the crown prince has a gentle temperament and is not luxurious, especially compared to his official father.

Because the party struggle in the imperial court became more and more fierce, it led the fighting parties to count on the imperial power as the final arbiter. By mistake, Huizong Zhao Ji, who was the most industrious and least disliked the official family, became the monarch with the highest imperial power since the Song Dynasty.

The imperial power in his hands has become stronger, and the desire for exclusivity of this power has naturally become stronger, which is a matter of course. Since Taizong established the crown prince, the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty has always learned practice early on, and even assisted the king in supervising the country. When he arrived at Zhao Ji, although he had already established the crown prince, in addition to his honorable name, this crown prince was less practical, and his status was the most embarrassing among the crown princes of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Heng has always been deeply humble, and he doesn't show his face much, but there is something in the court, but there is nothing to do, and everything follows Zhao Ji's will. In the past 12 years, the sense of existence has become weaker and weaker. In addition, over the years, the third son of the emperor, Jiawang Zhao Kai, the more favored by the officials, the first year of Xuanhe worshiped the Taifu, the Jianing Navy Festival Envoy, during the Northern Expedition, there were rumors that Zhao Kai was going to be the commander of the whole army, after a fiasco in Baigou River, this discussion was over, but what is the status of Zhao Kai in the eyes of the palace family, it can already be imagined.

In addition to these honors, Zhao Kai also had important practical assignments in his hands to promote the affairs of the Imperial City Division. The Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of the official family, and it can be regarded as half a spy agency, promoting such a mission. can go straight into the forbidden and meet the official family. And in fact, it is also the case, Zhao Kai has always been in the forbidden, and he has always been unable to help the morning and twilight, which is not enough, Zhao Kaiju is not in the forbidden, but in the palace of the ten kings of Genyue. There is a flying bridge and a double road connected to the official family's dormitory in Genyue, which is convenient for coming and going at any time.

There is such a strong younger brother, and the current prince is more cautious in his words and deeds. Among the government and the opposition, there is no rumor of easy storage quietly circulating in private, Zhao Kai is so red and purple, here in the East Palace, there are even fewer people who naturally come and go.

Tonight, in the study of the prince's bedroom, there is a little light. Slightly chubby and slightly dark, not at all as elegant as his father, Zhao Heng, the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty in his thirties, was wearing a soft hat, sitting with the two of them, discussing something in a low voice.

The two people sat opposite, one with a stern face, it was the prince's master Geng Nanzhong. The other person is the Li Gang who has been running under Wang Yuliang Shicheng for a long time a few days ago. This chief of the Western Mansion can be seen everywhere.

Zhao Heng looked like he was gentle and kind, and he didn't talk much, he sat there and lowered his head slightly, just listening to his teacher Geng Nanzhong there. said that he looked at Li Gang approvingly: "Brother Ji, you have done a very good job." Wang Zhengchen is not enough to rely on, and he will rely more on Uncle Ji to spread the big things in the future. ”

Zhao Heng raised his head, glanced at the well-rounded Shibo Geng Nanzhong, and said in a deep voice: "Liang Shicheng is powerful. King Naga ......" He didn't finish his sentence and lowered his head again, looking at the tips of his boots.

Zhao Heng has a heavy temperament, and his words have always been superficial, but both of them here understand what he means. Liang Shicheng is towards Jiawang Zhao Kai, such characters have always been the evil of the king, Zhao Ji favors Jiawang Zhao Kai, they naturally want to be close to Jiawang, and the crown prince's status is early, and he is a happy doctor, less than this generation, these people are the crown prince, and they are not necessarily of any great use, and Jiawang is good, in case of hope, this is the future decision, can protect the old age.

Since the Song Dynasty, the status of the crown prince is indeed not so stable, and only half of the people who have successfully undertaken the unification have been successful, and now the crown prince is indeed weak, and King Jia is indeed too beautiful. Today's official family is very strong, and it is too close to the crown prince, but it is a taboo thing, and no one can say for sure what will be variables in the future, so it is better to exert strength here in King Jia.

In the final analysis, politics is the most painful and tragic thing for a No. 2 person, especially when the No. 1 person will hold power for a considerable period of time in the foreseeable future. Now Zhao Ji is the No. 1 person, the prince is the No. 2, although King Jia is favored, but his reputation is critical, and he is still the No. 3, at this time, the No. 3 person is the No. 2 person, which is basically a sure thing, Liang Shicheng's generation, naturally knows how to choose.

This time he acted against Yang Ling, and the Imperial City Division was completely driven by Liang Shicheng, so he could see what the relationship between King Jia and Liang Shicheng was.

Geng Nanzhong and Li Gang's generation have always been self-proclaimed orthodox soil doctors. The legacy of the old party. Needless to say, Cai Jing has always been under the banner of the New Party, and politically he is the enemy of life and death.

Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Li Yan, Tong Guan, etc. are all fortunate people, and they have always pressed these so-called orthodox scholars.

In the current political spectrum, Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing needless to say that they are incompatible, and they are also temporarily attributed to Liang Shicheng for no other reason, Cai Jing is impossible to give them these relics of the old party, and a Yuanyou party monument has already engraved a clear position.

However, these old party relics, the so-called orthodox scholars, and fortunate people like Liang Shicheng naturally have estrangement, and there are also party disputes. When the status of fortunate people like Liang Shicheng was difficult to shake for a while, these so-called orthodox scholars and doctors had to prepare for the future. The party struggle of the next generation is prepared in advance, and the life is not endless, and the party struggle is endless.

Li Gang is the status of a hidden think tank among the orthodox scholars and doctors of the old party, and he is friendly with the Donggong faction like Geng Nanzhong, and the prince is generous and simple, which is very suitable for the stomach of these scholars.

How can it not have anything to do with the prince here? Although he is planning for Liang Shicheng, if there is any change, he will still inform the prince here as soon as possible.

The prince means, this time everyone will work together to deal with Yang Ling and beat Cai Jing, and want to unify the court, but Liang Shicheng is proud, that is, King Jia is proud, how will he be born in the future?

Geng Nanzhong snorted, his face was a little ugly: "The throne has been set early, why is the prince worried?" ”

Li Gang glanced at Geng Nanzhong, and explained to the prince with a smile: "During the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, someone was behind the scenes, wanting to make King Jia the commander of the Northern Expedition. However, the official family was aware of it, and the discussion went to bed. ”

"King Jia has settled down a lot, and the prince can worry about it for the time being. As Brother Daoxi said, it is not for this time when Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing are fighting, our generation can gradually live in the important Jin, one by one, Liang Shicheng is more and more powerful, and he is friendly with his generation. I'm afraid that the official family will look more closely to some righteous people as the wings of the prince, and there will be official saints on it, and in the future, the world of the Great Song Dynasty will naturally be handed over to the Son of Heaven. ”

Li Gang said clearly, and the prince nodded silently.

The official Shengming, that's nonsense, you have to talk about the scene. The important points are in the other sentences, Liang Shicheng used this to completely overwhelm Cai Jing, and this power is too strong. How did the official family warn of Cai Jing that day, I was afraid that I would have to beware of this Liang Yinxiang in the future, and Liang Shicheng would support King Jia again, but I was afraid that it would have the opposite effect.

This King Jia also seems to understand people, and there are high-ranking people behind him, and it was too high-profile to fight for the position of commander of the Northern Expedition at the beginning. On the contrary, after being beaten by the officials, he is now much more honest. It seems that there are still some signs of deliberately keeping a distance from Liang Shicheng.

And this time Liang Shicheng gained face and overwhelmed Cai Jing. But these old party relics are also considered to have a good heart, and there are few people who are gradually useful, and the prince is slowly cultivating his wings for the future. It's much better than some time ago when King Rijia was aggressive and teasing, but the prince was helpless.

Liang Shicheng and Yang Ling's undercurrent battle. The scope of involvement is wide, the impact is far-reaching, under the appearance of all the security in Bianliang City, its astonishing place is only afraid of the people in the bureau. It's hard to fully imagine!

Yang Ling is really the life of a broom star, crossing to Yandi, Yandi fought a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the famous ministers and fierce generals of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao Nuzhen, the relatives of the emperor and the country, or died or fell off the horse, and there were few people who had a good end. Returning to Bianliang, although he didn't have any dispatches in his hands, he still stirred up the wind and clouds, and unknowingly swept everyone in!

After Li Gang said it implicitly, the prince seemed to be relieved, and looked at Li Gang with approval, Geng Nanzhong watched coldly from the side, and muttered in his stomach: "This Uncle Ji is now too sharp, and he is valued everywhere, but I am afraid that it may not be a blessing This Uncle Ji is good with the Wuchen Wang, and Liang Shicheng is good, and here is a good seller in front of the prince, although he is sensitive, but his ethics are ......."

The old master Geng Nanzhong here eats dry vinegar, and Li Gang naturally doesn't know. These days, he has been running around the forces in Bianliang City with all his might, and everyone has lost a lot of weight, but his eyes are more and more bright, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty is changing, and smart people like Li Gang and aspiring people have a feeling that they can't wait for me. I really can't take into account other people's thoughts.

He looked at the prince, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the state affairs are gradually taking a turn for the better, this Great Song Dynasty is still ruling the world with scholars, and now the military ministers are domineering, and the fortunate ones are full of courts, and in the future, His Royal Highness the Prince and my generation will be required to start regulating and slowly recovering the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for the appearance of Yang Ling's son, the war in Yandi could not breathe a sigh of relief for the Great Song Dynasty, nor could it stir up the court situation in Bianliang, so that my generation has this opportunity to open his eyes, it is God bless the Great Song Dynasty, the blessing of the official family and His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Speaking of later, Li Gang sighed with emotion, couldn't help but increase his forehead with his hand, and sighed: "Such a meritorious hero, it is inevitable that some people can't live with him, His Royal Highness the Prince, Yang Ling is a rare talent, and now he has to suppress him, in the future, the prince will definitely be gracious to him and recruit him in his hand, this son can fight, there are many battles!" ”

Geng Nanzhong raised his eyebrows, he hadn't said anything to refute, Zhao Heng was a person with a deep temperament, and he could hone people's hearts the most after being the crown prince for a long time. Today, even if the words are too deep, I have to invite Li Gang to come overnight to understand clearly how far this trend is secretly rolling in Bianliang.

The words have been said and said, so there is no need to say it, and he got up and smiled faintly: "Lonely and turn around, the two gentlemen also settled early, the state affairs are like this, and the two gentlemen are also invited to cherish themselves and cherish themselves for the country." Li Gang and Geng Nanzhong both got up and sent the prince away, and after the prince's figure disappeared, Geng Nanzhong said lightly: "Uncle Ji, this time, I have a lot of work for you, you and I don't know what the future will be, it seems that someone is going to go out, I am not in charge, and I will have to rely on Uncle Ji when the time comes." ”

Li Gang glanced at Geng Nanzhong's face, and said with a wry smile: "How can I be virtuous?" Brother Daoxi stays by the prince's side, His Royal Highness is the hope of my generation in the future, and only Brother Daoxi shoulders the hard errand presided over by the center. Am I still a little weak for Brother Daoxi's drive? I don't need to say this again, or I wouldn't dare to come here again. ”

Geng Nanzhong smiled faintly and didn't say anything more at the moment.

Li Gang hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Brother Daoxi, I was in the cardinal mansion, and I saw a person named Yu Fang, with a strange background, maybe it has something to do with the old things, but how can this generation still be in Bianliang City?" ”

Geng Nanzhong raised his eyebrows, and his expression became much more serious: "How is this person, can you tell me in detail?" ”

Li Gang shook his head: "It's still impossible to say that I don't understand, it's a big matter, I can't say it lightly, I'll pay attention to it again." ”

Geng Nanzhong also sighed: "The capital is crowded, the undercurrent is surging, I don't know when I will return Bianliang to a Qingping, my generation can use things, and slowly regulate the world of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Li Gang smiled bitterly: "Brother Daoxi, take one step at a time, everything is urgent, take care of Yang Ling's head first, alas, I always feel that I can't live with him!" ”

The night has gradually deepened, but the two places near Maqian Street and Yang Lou are still lively, and the small sedan chair carried by the two people is endless, bringing the female books from all over the courtyard here, and the butterflies wearing flowers also seem to be submerged into the private rooms, and then arouse greater laughter and the sound of wine.

No matter what time it is, Bianliang City never sleeps, no matter the fall of the Liao State in the north, the rise of the Jurchens, or the battle between the gradually tense Beifang forces in Bianliang City, it seems that the excitement and prosperity here will not be reduced by half.

The days of Duli in Bianliang City, in the minds of most people, will continue for a long time, and there will never be a time to pass away.

In the Hele Building and Yang Building, it was quiet, and there were three or two quite high-end courtyards opposite.

Now there is almost only one family left in the courtyard where Master Li is located. The others are very interested in moving elsewhere, anyway, the Bianliang entertainment industry covers a vast area, and other places are the same as begging for life, and the official family will go out of the palace privately to meet the second wife in the Great Song Dynasty, which is still a good story, if the courtyard here is still dense, and the official family often goes out of the forbidden ocean to prostitute the courtyard here, it is easy to say that it is not good to hear, the official family is the king of a country, and he has been in power for a long time, and there is still some bottom line to say anything. (To be continued.) )
