Chapter Eighty-Eight: Keeping People to Do the Game
As the saying goes, the wall has ears, and Lu Huiqing and Li Jiao are so blatantly discussing bribery, aren't they afraid that people will hear it?
To be exact, they weren't really scared, one of the reasons was that the two of them were sitting in the corner, and in their opinion, there were no acquaintances in the restaurant. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info secondly, the voices of the two of them were very small, and such a noisy and noisy place had already drowned out the low voices of the two people. What's more, even if someone occasionally hears it, they will think that they are just talking about state affairs and political affairs, and they may not really listen carefully.
Seeing that Lu Huiqing came to the capital prepared this time, Li Jiao was envious for no reason: "Brother Lu, you understand what you are an official, and if you want to rely on this officialdom, you have to rely on big trees." If you want to say that you are much stronger than me, then Sima Hanlin is very dead. You can take care of my brother and me more in the future! ”
"Look at what you said, if this innovative thing is done well, it will be famous, but if it is not done well, I have to count on you to support me at that time." Between the two pushing the cups and changing the lamps, it seems that a consensus has been reached.
The lively atmosphere in the Zhennan Wangfu is not inferior to the Jinxiu Building, the only difference is that the Jinxiu Building is chaotic, everyone is talking, and the banquet hall of the palace is the king next to everyone to reunite and celebrate, and the cheers of everyone.
He often walked into the banquet hall and came to the king's side, looking at the noisy atmosphere of the hall, he was happy for the king from the bottom of his heart, but there was a trace of sadness. Although Wang Bei was very good to him and his family, after all, he was once a general who accepted everyone's cheers, and now he has become a guest of the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the sourness in his heart is obvious.
"Lord Wang, someone is asking to see you." As he spoke, he handed the king a piece of letterhead.
The king opened the letterhead, and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was both puzzled and a little joyful: "Where are the people?" ”
"Wait in the antechamber!"
He Libo was laughing with everyone in a loud voice, and Wang patted He Libo on the shoulder: "Brother He, go!" Follow me to meet someone! ”
The three of them walked out of the banquet hall quickly, and there was laughter and joy behind them, and He Libo followed the king and asked, "Who is here?!" ”
Wang Bei pretended to be mysterious and said, "I'll know when I see you." ”
The door of the main hall in the front hall of the palace was open, and the guards standing outside the hall waited motionlessly, and the three of them stepped up the steps into the main hall. In the middle of the hall stood a middle-aged man, looking at this ingenious building with admiration and curiosity. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man looked up, and when he saw the king and the others coming in, he hurried up to meet him.
"Lord Wang, do you remember me?"
"Of course! Of course, how could I forget about you?! ”
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the prince is becoming more and more heroic!"
The two of them held hands, this is really an old friend who has not seen each other for a long time. He Libo exclaimed: "Oh, Xin Linya, why are you!" Why did you come to the capital?! ”
Xin Zan noticed this time that there was an old acquaintance next to the king: "Isn't this General Wanyan?" Don't call Lin Ya, I'm not doing this Lin Ya for a long time. ”
The king invited Xin Zan to sit down, and He Libo sat down with him. Xin Zan looked at the mantra beside the king: "This general is also a little familiar, did he also go to Daliao with the prince back then?" ”
I often listened to the conversation and heard that this was Xin Zan from Da Liao, and he hurriedly replied: "I have never been to Da Liao, you see that I am familiar or have seen my father." ”
"Lingzun is?"
Wang Bi said as a result: "Duke Xin, do you know the Manba general of Western Xia? ”
"Yes! Oh, I said it! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Xin Zan said busily.
He nodded politely, and then asked the king: "If the prince has no orders, I will go to various inspections first!" ”
When Manchang came out of the room, Xin praised and said: "I didn't expect that the prince was a talented person, but Manba was a general in Western Xia, and the tiger father had no dogs." It's a pity that the old general kept the wrong person. ”
This sigh was quite sympathetic.
He Libo said: "Hey, that's all over, anyway, it's right to follow my brother." By the way, did Gong Xin come to the Great Song Dynasty for business this time? ”
Wang Bi was also about to ask, so he looked at Xin Zan and waited for him to answer.
Xin Zan pondered a little and said, "To be honest, I'm not here for business this time. I have resigned in Daliao. ”
"Resigned?" Wang glanced at He Libo, He Libo nodded, he had already heard about this when he came back from Yongzhou.
"Alas! In the affairs of the court, the slut is in charge! I just quit and didn't do it. Xinzan frowned, and slammed one hand into a fist on the edge of the table.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's not that traitor yet! This man was very ambitious, and no one really noticed it at first. Lord, do you remember when you attacked Western Xia? At that time, the Liao Dynasty sent King Xiao to deal with the affairs of the Song Dynasty. ”
Wang said beside him, "Remember, if I'm not mistaken, King Xiao is still in Liao Kingdom!" ”
"Yes! That meeting Yelu Yixin had already begun to lay out, first taking over the military power of King Xiao, saying that it was to prevent Western Xia from entering refugees from the southwest of the Liao Dynasty; Later, there was a rebellion in Tarigan, and the emperor listened to Yelu Yixin's words, and sent Yelu Ren to quell the rebellion first, so the power of the court fell into the hands of Yelu Yixin. When Yeluren came back from the chaos first, he wanted to return to the leather room army. At first, Yelu Yixin was still afraid, but later, he simply used his power to accept bribes. Those who flattered him were promoted, and the loyal ministers were ostracized. ”
The more Xin Zan said, the more angry he became: "Not only that, but he also broke the situation that the Liao Dynasty had long been divided between the north and the south, and the Han and Khitan people lived in harmony. Anyway, I have different political views from him, so I simply resigned and didn't do it. ”
"What about the emperor? Do you know he's like that? He Libo asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty? Our Emperor Yelu Hongji is singing and dancing every day, and the major affairs in the court are handled by Yelu Yixin, and he can't even hand over the recital, let alone see the emperor's face. ”
He Libo was still puzzled, he turned his head to look at the king: "Brother, the emperor was not like this before?!" At that time, when he first succeeded to the throne, I remember what people said, yes: ask for straightforwardness, visit the Tao, persuade agriculture to promote education, and provide disaster relief and compassion, which is considerable. And it's not bad for our Jurchen tribes, how can it become like this now. ”
Wang Fang didn't seem to be surprised by this at all, he said lightly: "When Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was when Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty was in power, although there was an alliance of Tanyuan, but it can be seen that my Great Song Dynasty was the time when the culture and economy were prosperous. At that time, the Western Xia was at a time when Li Liangzuo was involved in state affairs, and conspired with Liang Luoyao to eradicate the Wuzang clan and regain imperial power. Externally, neither the Western Xia nor the Great Song Dynasty can be underestimated. Internally, there is also the Liao Emperor's uncle, Yelu Zongyuan, who plotted to rebel. When he was in trouble at home and abroad, Yelu Hongji certainly did not dare to indulge. And now it's different, Xixia only has half a breath left, and my Great Song Dynasty is a new emperor in his early twenties, and Yanyun is in the hands of Da Liao, so Yelu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief. What's more, as far as my understanding of him goes, this person doesn't like to fight, and most of the emperors who are generally fluent in pronunciation, good at calligraphy and painting, and love poetry may not be able to work the court. ”
Xin Zan picked his thumb and said, "Lord Wang's insight, what he said is so right!" Now that the emperor is drinking and singing every day, he doesn't pay attention to the government at all, so that Na Yelu Yixin will have a chance. ”
Wang Bei smiled, this thing was bound to happen, and he should have known the result, but now many things may be different. He was brewing a bigger thing, that is, to let the Liao State force debts to Western Xia. But in this matter, no one can help me. If Yelu Hongji is not so paralyzed, I am afraid that the game he wants to do will not be able to be done. Thinking of this, Wang asked next to him, "Gong Xin, what are your plans to come to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
Xin Zan said, "You also know that I have always liked the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and now that the dog is a child, I plan to move my family to the Central Plains." In addition, I know that compared with the people who are talented in the Great Song Dynasty, I am only shallow in learning, so I also want to ask the prince to help me find a better gentleman for the dog to be his teacher. ”
He Libo slapped his thigh: "Hey, then you've found the right person." He pointed to the king's side: "There is a school in the prince's mansion, and even Ouyang Yongshu is now teaching in the palace, where else can you find it?!" ”
Xin Zan's eyes lit up when he heard this, not to mention finding a husband for his son, even if he let Ouyang Xiu be his husband, it would be enough for him to be happy. However, although he and Wang Pan built the Twin Towers together and recruited Japanese slaves, but now he is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and he said that he was a retired official of the Liao State if he said that it sounded good, but if it was not good, he was actually a civilian who left the Liao Territory, can Wang Pan be willing?
Wang saw Xin Zan's hesitation, so he said: "There is a shortage of people in my house now, and my previous shogunate Mr. Hou has been transferred to Yongzhou to do the assassination history. There are a few knowledgeable shogunates in the house, but they all understand the national conditions and people's feelings of the Great Song Dynasty. You also know that I have all this business, including with Da Liao. I have always hoped that someone who knows the customs and customs of Daliao and understands the situation of Daliao can help me. Can Xin Gong agree to this matter? ”
Xin Zan saw that what the king said was very sincere, and he couldn't imagine that this son was still the same as back then, and he still maintained a sincerity after so many years of officialdom.
"This, the matter of Da Liao, isn't this General Wanyan?" Xin Zan looked at He Libo in embarrassment.
"Cut! Xin Gong, don't mention me, I'm just a rough man. Besides, I haven't been in Da Liao for almost ten years. I only go back for a few months once in a while, and then I can't bear my brother. Our prince is holding back and letting me stay like a waste. You're welcome, it's great if you could come! He Libo said with a more sincere smile.
Wang Bi really wants to stay in Xin Zan, Xin Zan's talent and ability he understands, the two of them work together, and they appreciate Xin Zan Wang Bi very much.
"Mr. Xin, if you feel condescending, why don't I recommend you to the imperial court and let you hold a position in a certain official position in the Great Song Dynasty, what do you think?"
Xin Zan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I just won't be the minister of Liao, and I don't plan to be an official of the Great Song Dynasty." Besides, I don't know anything about the Great Song Dynasty except poetry and culture! Besides, I didn't mean that, I would rather stay in the palace than I would have to, but I had to go back to pick up their mother and son. ”
