Chapter 62: The Black-bellied Official Family
In Lin'an, it is difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of the Imperial City.
Especially Qian Xiangzu didn't think about avoiding the eyes and ears of the Imperial City Division at all, but Huangfu Tan had a fair and honest reason, as a Taoist priest who was good at seeing faces, it was not very normal for the Xianggong to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion if he was invited.
Zhao Yan had dinner, and after taking a walk, he went to Deokshou Palace to sit in front of his father for a while, and after greeting him, he refused the queen's invitation to watch the play together, and returned to the vertical arch hall in good spirits.
After the victory of Lai'an, Zhao Yan was like being beaten with chicken blood.
I've never felt so comfortable.
Although my Great Song Dynasty is weak, its backbone is still there!
Zhu Zhenfu of the Anfeng Army, Zhang Chao, Sima Guanyue, and Peng Jianqing of the Guanghua Army, and Sun Mou, a deputy general in the Xuyi Army, who committed suicide by biting his tongue after being captured...... These are the names that died one by one.
are the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty!
My Da Song not only has a backbone, but also hope!
4,000 soldiers and horses cruised between Shouzhou, Shouchun, and Huainan military towns, and only a few hundred people were left in the Great Song Dynasty; 4,000 soldiers and horses broke 10,000, the spring breeze was victorious, three people and three horsemen knocked on the city, and 500 remnants of soldiers stole the Great Song Dynasty sharp knife Zongping in Huainan; 6,000 iron horsemen rode through Jianghuai and smashed Li Rui of the abduction horse and Tiefutu; As a small soldier, Xiangyang is dedicated, and 10,000 guards 30,000 Xiangyang Lu Zhen......
This is all the hope of my Great Song.
It is the hope of opening the dynasty to Bianjing!
In this way, how can I bear the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I bear the hope of the Great Song Dynasty.
If you defend the territory and expand the territory, I will govern the country and run the people.
Jointly create the prosperity of our Great Song Dynasty and create the foundation of thousands of generations.
It is because Zhao Yan has been working hard these days, and he has personally handled domestic affairs, eager to create a peaceful and prosperous era overnight, and then strengthen the army with the national strength, and then wave his army to the north......
However, you can't eat a fat person in one bite.
Xie Shengtang was very worried.
Every night, the imperial dining room must prepare more pastries, so that the officials can not be hungry and thirsty, and the soup that is pure and hot can be served on the table at any time, and sometimes even have to find ways to put some unimportant performances in a place where the officials cannot see.
Otherwise, many times the big officials have to stay up all night until they are ugly.
After sitting in the vertical arch hall for a while, Zhao Yan's face was a little unsightly after seeing a fold.
Xie Shengtang glanced at him.
It was the excerpt of the Imperial City Division, and he secretly said in his heart, which central minister did something bad to make the official unhappy.
As for the specific content, Xie Shengtang will never read it.
This is a qualified chamberlain Zuo Duzhi, otherwise how could he have served Zhao Yan for decades, from the prince to the current son of heaven.
Because of this, Zhao Yan will trust Xie Shengtang infinitely.
Su Xian once said: I want to go back by the wind, and I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable.
No one has a deeper understanding than Zhao Yan, a hard-working official, if he is a faint monarch, how can it be cold, and all kinds of favored ministers should not be too happy, but Zhao Yan is not.
There are many things that cannot be told to any courtier.
But Xie Shengtang can.
It was to put the fold lightly and opened the chatterbox: "It's the excerpt of the Imperial City Si Zhihe Men Shi Zeng, today the eyeliner found that Qian Xiangzu went to Tang Xianggong's Prime Minister's Mansion, well, Huangfu Tan also went to the Prime Minister's Mansion." β
The official took the initiative to mention it, that is, he wanted to talk to himself.
Xie Shengtang said in a panic: "It's understandable that Huangfu Tan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qian Xiangzu ...... If the old slave remembers correctly, it is Qian Shenzhi's grandson, and after he fell in the bachelor's degree, he went to King Deng's Mansion to join the staff, what did he do in the Prime Minister's Mansion? β
Xie Shengtang didn't guess it, but the official family wanted him to ask, so he asked.
Nearest the king nearest the gallows.
Never show yourself too smart.
After decades of eunuchs, Xie Shengtang has seen too many clever people end up planting.
After all, Xie Sheng was a talented eunuch in the Great Song Dynasty who relied on his ability to establish himself in the palace, not an incompetent eunuch in the Ming and Qing dynasties who relied on flattery.
Zhao Yan laughed, "What else can you do for it, be a lobbyist for your son." β
Waving his hand, "Someone sent a cup of lotus seed soup over, dinner was slightly dry, thirsty panic, add some ice." β
Without waiting for Xie Shengtang's orders, the little eunuch standing at the door ran away.
Zhao Yan said again: "It's just strange, if you visit the Prime Minister's Mansion as a lobbyist for Zhen'er, as Qian Xiangzu, it seems that you can't reach this weight, could it be that the Imperial City Division has missed others?" β
Xie Shengtang lowered his eyebrows, and while stepping forward to take the lotus seed soup brought by the little eunuch in quick small steps, he put it in front of the senior official, and said softly: "I'm afraid of it." β
Zhao Yan took a few sips.
He let out a sigh of relief.
After pondering for a while, he secretly remembered the names of Qian Xiangzu and Huangfu Tan in his heart.
They were branded with the marks of King Deng and King Gong respectively.
Only the person who was missed by the Imperial City Division, Zhao Yan didn't delve into it, as the situation develops, it will eventually become apparent.
Then again, Wo'er and Dian Er really can't bear to be lonely.
It was only a long time after the end of the war, and he began to rush to win over Tang Si to retreat, and it is estimated that the three provinces of Dongfu, the three yas, the six departments, the three divisions, and the three supervisors of the nine temples will be very lively in the future.
There is no hope of establishing a reserve in the short term, but these two sons still want to actively cultivate strength.
The Qian family and the Li family are far from satisfying their appetites.
But Kai'er, who has made the greatest contribution, is very quiet.
There is no arrogance at all, nor does he complain because of no reward, and he quietly does his job.
Zhao Yan nodded secretly, and his impression of Zhao Kai was better.
His thoughts turned again, and he thought of some trivial matters, "By the way, the dust has settled on the Xiangyang side, and I asked you to select twenty internal guards to guard Li Fengwu, have you come back?" β
Xie Shengtang suddenly looked embarrassed, and said with some hesitation: "Two are back." β
Zhao Dian was surprised: "Only two? They didn't participate in the defense of the city, why did they die so much? β
Xie Shengtang smiled bitterly, "Our Great Song Xiaofeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is said that after the twenty guards arrived in Xiangyang, the Great Song Xiaofeng put on armor and carried a sword to the battlefield, the official family has an order, these Da Nei masters have no choice, they have to fight to the death to guard, and finally ......"
Zhao Yan was stunned for a while, and then laughed, "This kid will take advantage of the situation!" β
Apparently there is not much to blame.
Even happy.
Then he said: "If my expectation is correct, this guy has returned to Jiankang, I am afraid that he will not come to Lin'an without ten days and half a month, and he will definitely use this to vent his dissatisfaction that I will not send troops to help Xiangyang." β
Xie Shengtang immediately said: "It's a matter of family and country, and giving up Xiangyang is also based on the overall strategic situation, Li Fengwu is over, he should be beaten and beaten, and let him know who has the final say in this world." β
Zhao Yan shook his head, "It's not necessary, after all, Jiankang still has a delicate Yelu Maitreya, I heard that his fiancΓ©e is called Qianmo, and she is also a woman who is not inferior to the princess Li Fengniang, and it is reasonable that she is reluctant to leave Jiankang." β
said that it was unnecessary, but in his heart he thought, well, when the time comes, just find an excuse to punish him with a few years of salary.
Zhao Yan is also really black.
After chatting a few words, Zhao Yan continued to deal with government affairs, and the next performance was a matter related to the Western Liao Mission.
At the beginning of the war, apart from the peace talks, there were many things that needed to be dealt with.
Zhao Yan couldn't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms. (To be continued.) )
