Jiangnan West Road Mansion is located, Longxing Mansion.

Above the lobby, Ye Mengding, Jiang Wanli, Wang Yao, and Zhang Jian sat quietly in the hall. On the table on Wang Yao's side, Bao Jie's letter had been spread out, and I don't know how many times it was read by the four people. It stands to reason that Jiang Wanli is the Zhijun of the Nankang Army, and Ye Mengding is also the Zhizhou of Raozhou, the two of them should not be in Longxing Mansion, but this time the stakes are very high, and it has already involved the advance and retreat of the main battle faction of the entire court and even the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, how can they not let these old guys gather together?

And what's even more peculiar is that Jiang Wanli, who is obviously in the lowest position among the four, was also elected to the throne by everyone, because these are all old men who have supported each other in the officialdom for so many years, and they don't care much about the positions between them, and they all know that the reason why Jiang Wanli was demoted from the dignified court to the Nankang Army is also because he has borne most of the anger of the emperor and Jia Yidao instead of the other people present, in fact, with Jiang Wanli's knowledge and ability, he is definitely the first among the four. It is the soul pillar of Jiang Wanli's party, so the other three will not let him sit in other places other than the first seat.

Glancing lightly at the three people around, Zhang Jian was the most indifferent, it seemed that his son had inherited this characteristic of him very well: "Since you want to laugh, laugh over there, such a happy event, An Neng doesn't laugh!" ”

The smile on Ye Mengding's face became even stronger: "Look, look, he Zhang Gongbing (Zhang Jian, the word Gongbing) also has a sulking day!" In my opinion, it must be because his precious son didn't stay behind and didn't fight in the Han River, but he missed such a big credit, how can he not be angry? ”

Jiang Wanli and Wang Jian looked at each other and smiled, while Zhang Jian rolled his eyes, obviously not wanting to fight with Ye Mengding, an old guy who can indeed be said to be high-spirited. I couldn't help it, Jiang Wanli opened his mouth and said with a smile: "This time, I let the Yanai of the town house take the lead, such a meritorious achievement, I think this career will be bright and prosperous in the future." If it weren't for the Ye family's nephew, I'm afraid we, the old guys, would still be worried about the way out for our nephews! ”

"That makes sense." Wang Yi smiled from ear to ear, his family Erlang killed the world with a cooked copper stick before the three armies, and the blood stained the robe, how could it not be a great achievement, so coupled with his own Dalang who is also a little glorious on the way to the civil official, the Wang family can be said to be Wenqu Star and Wuqu Star this time, how can you not like it?

Zhang Jian was too lazy to follow the two old guys to fight, he also knew very well what his son's temper was, Ye Yingwu and Su Liu Yi took risks to lead three thousand elites to the north, and their own son stayed in the rear to be regarded as using the right talent, it turned out that he really didn't see that these people who were just domineering and even bullying men and women on Lin'an Hua Street that day also had the achievements of the Tartars who were killed today.

In the final analysis, it is because Ye Jiaerlang knows people decently, dares to let go, and can be literate and martial, full of talent, in this crumbling Great Song Dynasty can be regarded as an unborn masterpiece, if it were not for him who has been presiding over the overall situation, I am afraid there would not be such a satisfactory situation today.

Feeling the rare smell of Jiang Wanli, Wang Yao and Zhang Jian in the officialdom, ah no, the grateful and envious eyes of the like-minded old guys who came over together, Ye Mengding coughed lightly twice: "This time it made the dog a little limelight, but have you ever thought about it, what will be the attitude of those people in the court and China towards this matter?" You must know that the final reward will depend on their decision······"

Wang Yi pursed his lips: "I think those guys won't make any trouble at this juncture, otherwise how can they block the mouth of the world?" There are only two worries, one is that although General Su took the initiative to retreat in order to prevent the Tianwu Army and the follow-up reinforcements from falling into a place of no return, it can be said that it is impossible for non-benevolent and brave people to do it, but it is inevitable that those people in the DPRK will seize this flaw and make a big fuss, and secondly, everyone knows that Fan Wenhu is fleeing from the battle, but if the Jia Xianggong in the court really wants to keep him, he finds an excuse that Fan Wenhu has seen through the trap laid by Ashu, and what he is doing is to pursue the remnants of Ashu, And Zhang Dutong is for his own greed and abandons the overall situation, in that case, Fan Wenhu must be able to easily escape this catastrophe, but Zhang Dutong cannot escape this responsibility······"

"Erector puppet, Ann dare!!" Jiang Wanli slapped the table fiercely, Huo Ran stood up, his beard was open, his eyes were blazing, and he was already really angry.

"Why don't you dare?" Zhang Jian smiled bitterly, obviously he already knew Jia Yidao, the life-and-death opponent in the court, very thoroughly, "It's good to act like this, isn't it okay to do this, how is Yue Wumu and Xin Jiaxuan, don't you know?" This Jia Xianggong is very weak externally, and he is really tough internally, if it weren't for the fact that the official family still has a trace of sage, and has been trying to protect you and me, I am afraid that on the storm pavilion, there are a few more wisps of grievances, and above the court, there are a few words of 'unnecessary'! ”

"Well, let's go first and see." Ye Mengding said softly, "When the time comes, you and I will occupy the moral high ground, and when we ascend to the heights, how can we be afraid that no one will respond?" After all, at this time, it is better than the era where Gaozong Qin Hui is located. ”

Hearing that Ye Mengding had vaguely expressed his criticism and accusations against Gaozong in this dynasty, the other three frowned slightly, but they didn't say anything, after all, the Great Song Dynasty was "the king and the scholar ruled the world together", thinking that when Yuanfeng and Yuanyou were in fierce contention, the minister was angry and could spray the emperor's face, but now it is just a vague accusation of Gaozong's fault, as long as it is not used by people with intentions, it is nothing.

Jiang Wanli, who was still angry, couldn't help but snort softly, and he didn't know why this old man was still angry.

"In any case, the army will triumph in the near future, and nothing can be said to be stunned by these heroes who threw their heads and spilled blood for the officials and the Great Song Dynasty." Wang Yao hurriedly opened his mouth to break the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere in the hall, several old guys knew the bottom of their hearts, and they knew that it was just a temporary annoyance, and it would not be long before they would still have a hundredfold spirit to deal with the traitors in the DPRK and China to the end. Now this Jiangnan West Road is full of protégés and old friends of Jiang Wanli's party, and Jia Rudao still has to think about it if he wants to break ground on this one-third of an acre.

What's more, if he moves Zhang Shijie, not to mention, if he moves Su Liuyi, it will actually be a desperate move, and at that time, it may turn the more moderate Jiang Wanli party in the main battle faction and the more enterprising Li Tingzhi Huainan Shogunate against each other, and secondly, it may also set himself on fire, so that the two main battle factions that did not treat each other very well will suppress Jia Yidao together, you must know that the army commanded by Jia Yidao's cronies and generals Lu family brothers is in Xiangfan after all, if the two sides really tear their faces, It was Li Tingzhi's Huainan army that came quickly.

"Well, you can't say anything that chills those little guys." Zhang Jian was originally a stable person, on weekdays, a few people sulk in the council hall or something, and Zhang Jian generally jumps out to play round, and mud, and generally angry people will also sell this old friend a little face, and now the rare Wang Yao, who is always rectal on weekdays, is the first to jump out and lead the topic, how can Zhang Jian be willing to live behind?

Jiang Wanli, who had been sulking, relieved his sorrow a little, and said lightly: "Such a merit, but when you return home, you can't slack off." ”

—————————————————————————————

The Great Song Dynasty is here, Lin'an.

Ge Ling, Jia Rudao Mansion, known as "Hou Paradise".

This Jia Xiangdao Mansion is also a first-class existence in Lin'an, the wealthy mansion given by the sage of Lizong back then, during which the landscape gardens, pavilions and pavilions, and the style of the Jiuqu Corridor are probably the Lin'an Palace is also slightly inferior before this, not to mention the mansions of other officials, if it is compared with the homes of Jiang Wanli and Ye Mengding, it is even more of a heaven and an underground, which is really a world of difference. I'm afraid that even if I look all over Suzhou and Hangzhou, I won't be able to find such a fairyland on earth.

What is ironic is that the world is big, there are countless wonderful and pleasant names, but Emperor Lizong took a fancy to Fan Zhongyan's sentence "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", and named the mansion of the minister he relied on the most "Hou Yuan", such a popular famous sentence through the ages was abused by this pair of faint monarchs and treacherous people. Do so, but you don't know whose misfortune it is.

The sound of the flute, the sound of the piano, the singing, the sound is endless, echoing between the dance pavilions and singing platforms in this layer of forests, if it is the first time for a layman to come here, I am afraid that I really think it is the song of the fairyland on earth. And the pretty maids in gorgeous clothes and the sturdy servants in brocade clothes and hats that are only three or five steps away, I am afraid that it is rare to see such a scene even in the palace forbidden.

The servants were already dressed like this, not to mention the butlers. The housekeeper of Jiafu is even more dressed in brocade clothes and mink fur, and there is a jade pendant hanging from his waist like a decent, and he stands at the door, which is definitely not the common respectful posture of normal eunuchs, but he is arrogant and can't wait to nostril to the sky, as if he is the eldest emperor in the world, the second son of his own father-in-law, and he is the third.

However, this time the distinguished guest who came in a hurry was also commonplace, so he did not hesitate to take out a gold ingot from his sleeve, and he didn't know what skillful technique the two used, and after a while, the golden light flashed in the butler's sleeve, and he had already collected the gold ingot, and he also knew that the distinguished guest who came was a rare loyal colleague of his own master, so the housekeeper didn't dare to really be embarrassed. Become more humble than the normal housekeeper, no one knows when the host needs to come to the distinguished guests to do something big, so even if the visiting guests do not give a greeting gift, the housekeeper actually does not dare to make a big deal.

"I'm invited, but the other adults have been waiting for a while." The butler coughed lightly and made a gesture of please. Hearing his cough, not only did the door that had been closed slowly open, but the family generals and servants who stood in front of and behind the door were ready to tear the troublemakers to pieces respectfully out of the way.

That Liuda is Jia Yidao's henchman Liumengyan, although this person is quite talented, but the mind is not right, blindly pursuing fame and fortune, and timid and afraid of things, the Mongolian army is in the city, this person naturally has a soft knee to drop the tartar, and then there is no less Mongolian generals to do things that hurt the heavens and reason, and the people in the township are a rare "genius", and the descendants of the fellow villagers have gritted their teeth and said: "There is a dream in the two Zhejiang, and the shame of the two Zhejiang." "Until the Ming Dynasty, if the descendants of the Liu's family participated in the imperial examination, they should first prove that they have no blood relationship with Liumengyan, otherwise there is no way out for you to be rich and rich.

Of course, these are all later words, at this time, Liu Mengyan is still in the rising period of his life, and he easily reported Jia Nidao's thick legs, and the Lu family brothers are still a little righteous, standing on Jia Nidao's side is also for the interests of the family and repaying the appreciation of the day.

After all, he has crawled in the officialdom, and he is cautious by nature and good at observing words and feelings, so although there are countless beautiful maids standing in the water pavilions in the corridors on both sides, Liu Mengyan does not squint, as if these charming beauties do not exist at all, but just follow the footsteps of the housekeeper and bury his head and hurry forward.

Jiafu nature also has a big disadvantage, that is, if you want to get to the warm pavilion pavilion where Jia seems to be located, you need to walk a long distance, but Liu Mengyan is also a frequent visitor in this mansion, so because he didn't look around like a normal person, he was shocked, and he had already arrived at Jia Yidao's warm pavilion in a moment. The wisps of soft singing have come through the beaded curtain, straight to make people's bones seem to be crispy.

It's still Jia Xiangguild to enjoy it. Liu Mengyan sighed secretly in his heart, but immediately made up his mind in his heart that he would enjoy the luxurious scenes in this Jia Mansion one by one in his life, and also taste what it was like to be a master.

But now there are still important and important matters, I hope that I go in so rashly and say this kind of thing that Xianggong absolutely does not want to hear, and it will not arouse Xianggong's disgust. Thinking about it, the old guys on Jiangnan West Road are restless, and their little rabbit cubs are even more restless and self-conscious, and they actually poke out such a big basket, this time I am afraid that it will make it difficult for the husband to be a man.

Taking a light breath, Liu Mengyan still stretched out his hand to lift the beaded curtain.

Sure enough, there were already guests inside, and the first thing Liu Mengyan saw when he looked up was Jia Nidao who was sitting in front of him as the head of the family, although Jia Nidao was a famous loyal and treacherous minister in history, but he was also dignified and elegant, so he thought that his sibling sister must also be a stunning beauty, otherwise he would not have favored the first emperor's harem for many years.

However, at this time, Jia Nidao had obviously drunk a lot of wine, his cheeks were red, and he was holding a beautiful woman on his left hand, the woman was also wearing quite thin, and she was laughing and trembling in the crook of Jia Nidao's arm, but her untidy clothes were clearly the clothes in the palace, I don't know which emperor gave Jia Nidao's palace maid, and the one on the right hand side was actually a nun who was not inferior in beauty to the palace maid, holding a glass of wine in her hand, and she was about to hand it to Jia Nidao's mouth. So when Liu Mengyan walked in, the nun didn't have a shy expression, but just served Jia Yidao wholeheartedly.

As a frequent visitor to this "back paradise", Liu Mengyan didn't even blink his eyes, he had already become accustomed to it, and went straight to the only vacant seat and sat down, and this traitor who had perfected his ability to slap horses and steer when he saw the wind naturally swept over the magnates present with the corner of his eye, and when he saw the surprised and admiring look on Jia Yidao's face as a few new young people, the corners of Liu Mengyan's mouth showed a sneer.

Taking a sip of the wine sent by the nun, Jia Rudao smashed it and smashed his mouth: "The champion red of the past twenty years is now the best." Now that you're all here, you might as well try it. ”

Sitting on Jia Rudao's left and right sides were the two most trusted staff members in his mansion, Liao Yingzhong and Weng Yinglong. Although these two people seem to be just Jia Yidao's more favored doormen, but there are so many dignitaries and nobles here, but no one dares to despise these two young people who don't look very old, you must know that in this Lin'an City, even the housekeeper of Geling Jiafu can walk sideways on the street, not to mention that this is like a young man with Jia Yidao's left arm and right arm, not to mention that they are all people like Liu Mengyan who have reached a certain level, so everyone here is interested in such two young descendants who have no official positions and are unknown, instead of being jealous and contemptuous, he is always ready to pat his ass.

Throughout history, these two people did not treat Jia Nidao for their trust and dependence, Duzong did not come to the dynasty, and Jia Nidao, who played like a mountain, naturally had no interest in correcting for the emperor, so in the end, they still relied on the two of them to maintain the last time of the Great Song Dynasty.

Except for Liumengyan, everyone else was elated, after all, being able to be invited by Jia Yidao to the world's number one mansion for a banquet is definitely a blessing that I don't know how many lifetimes I have cultivated, and it is also the big green smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb.

Jia Yuqing, a henchman of Jia Nidao, was the first to pick up the wine glass, and bowed his hand to Jia Nidao respectfully, which can be regarded as thanking Jia Nidao for his kindness in giving wine, and drank it all, and others naturally did not dare to slack off, and they followed this character who played Jia Nidao's mind to the extreme.

"The villain Jia Yuqing can be ranked here," Jia Yuqing saw that everyone had finished drinking, and immediately jumped out and said with a smile, his eyes were still sweeping over the exquisite dishes and wine in front of the table and the Mei Ji who served the wine beside him, "There is such a fine wine, such a beautiful woman, it is a blessing in this life, the villain can have such an achievement, it is given by the grace father, the villain repays the heart of the grace father, the heaven and the earth can be learned, the grace prince but also commanded, the villain will go to the soup and the fire, and will not give up." ”

Although these words are empty and meaningless, Jia Yidao, who is on the rise, sounds warm and uncomfortable in his heart, and immediately smiled and nodded again and again: "The good man (Jia Yuqing's words) has a heart, and this friendship The old man will take it to heart whatever he says." Such a good wine, such a beautiful woman, good husband, enjoy it. ”

"Engong treats villains like this, he really kills villains!" Jia Yuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded again and again.

When the other people saw this guy, they easily flattered Jia Yidao with just a few words, and at the same time, they secretly blamed themselves for not having such a shrewd and meticulous mind.

Jia Rudao waved his hand, asking Jia Yuqing to retreat, his eyes swept over the banquet, but his brows were furrowed: "Han Fu, the guests here are happy today, why are you alone with your frowns?" Is it because the old man is not considerate? Or is it because these twenty years of aging are not to your liking? ”

Liu Mengyan was already distracted, and he didn't know how to say the depressing news at this jubilant banquet, but now he was said by Jia Yidao, and countless eyes were cast on him like a sword, as if he was ready to fall into the well as long as he said the wrong word, in desperation, Liu Mengyan could only grit his teeth and stand up, and said with a wry smile:

"Qi Engong, how can Xia Guan have such courage, but he just received the news from the front line of Xiangfan, and Xia Guan is thinking about it in his heart, so he forgot where he was for a while, so he still hopes that Engong will forgive his sins."

Everyone present was stunned, and immediately moved their eyes to Jia Rudao, there was no war on the main battlefield of the Xiangfan front, but that Ah Shu was not very peaceful, and he led 20,000 cavalry to loot Qi and Huangzhou, even if he failed, what could he do, could it be that he still had the ability to occupy a place in the south of this Han River and not leave?

"Is that really it?" Jia Rudao glanced suspiciously at the two henchmen on his left and right hands. Liao Yingzhong nodded helplessly: "Qi Engong, there is indeed this matter, but the news has just been delivered, because the banquet is approaching, so the two of them will have time to dismantle it in the future." ”

Nodding, Jia Rudao said lightly: "It's okay, whether you look at it or not, it's just that situation, but I don't know how many people and horses have been lost in Qihuang and Huang Prefectures, and how much grain has been lost?" Does Ah Shu have any plans to withdraw from the army? ”

Seeing that Jia Yidao had already concluded that the Anji Army and the Tianwu Army would not be able to defeat Ashu's 20,000 iron horsemen, the guests below sighed one after another, Jia Yuqing deserved to be the number of people in this Song Dynasty, and at the moment he jumped out again:

"Qi Qi Xiang, this time Ye Yingwu and Su Liu Yi lost their teachers and humiliated the country, and it is difficult to escape their responsibility, Zhang Shijie is sitting on the side of the water master, and he does not want to make progress to supervise the war, he should also be punished, I think that Wang Yao and Ye Mengding's people recommend all this kind of ······"

The smile on Liu Mengyan's face became even more bitter, and he had to interrupt Jia Yuqing at the moment: "Lord Jia, wait." ”

Jia Yuqing was willing to let go of such an opportunity: "Could it be that you still want to maintain such an incompetent mediocre general?" According to this official, they should all be cut off from their positions and demoted to concubines! ”

Rolling his eyes, Liu Mengyan laughed coldly: "Lord Jia, don't make no distinction between right and wrong!" Before the official finished speaking, the front line of the two states of Qi and Huang came to the great victory of our army! More than 10,000 beheaded, Lianke two battles, Ashu was defeated and retreated, and the entire Mongolian sailor army was wiped out on the Han River! And the Tianwu Army and the Anji Army lost only four or five thousand people in total, which was a dignified victory! ”

Before Liu Mengyan's words fell, the entire lobby was already silent. Jia Yuqing, who was still arrogant just now, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and the other guests were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect such a result, could it be that Ye Yingwu, who was still young and vigorous, was really like a legendary genius in civil and military affairs?

"Guo Huai, Fan Wenhu, it's all waste! What does the old man want them for?! Jia Rudao roared angrily, grabbed the wine glass on the table, and threw it on the ground! The wine glass shattered into a few pieces and fell under Jia Yuqing's feet, so frightened that this traitor who had just "spoken wildly" knelt straight on the ground, not daring to say more.

Looking at Jia's unexpected reaction, Liu Mengyan didn't even dare to wipe the cold sweat rolling down his forehead, he just had to sigh in his heart, thinking that in the meeting hall on Jiangnan West Road, those old guys were probably already smiling.

It's really a few happy and a few sad.
