Zhou Ping hurriedly bowed down and sat down, Tong Guan said a few more things, and went back to the house. Zhou Ping had just come out of the Jingfu room, but he saw two scarlet robed men with similar appearances standing in front of him, and one of them smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, we will be authentic colleagues in the future, but we have to take care of it more!" ”

"This is all a declaration of love, Zhou doesn't dare to be!" Zhou Ping hurriedly bowed and saluted, he recognized that these two people were brothers Xin Xingzong and Xin Qizong, these two people were Tong Guan's henchmen, and now they are also the commanders and managers of one party, and their official positions are far above Zhou Ping.

"Brother Zhou is just brave, Xuanxiang has a good eye, and today's events will be passed on to future generations!" Compared with his younger brother, Xin Xingzong's personality looks much more hearty, and he smiled and waved his arm: "Today's time is just right, our colleagues from the Shengjie Army are all going to have fun, just take it as Brother Zhou's wind, our family is the east, no one is allowed to rob me!" ”

"Just the right time?" Zhou Ping looked at the sky outside, not to mention that it is almost three watches now, and it is almost one o'clock in the morning when it is replaced by a modern hour, which can be said to be the beginning of nightlife in modern society, but now after all, it is the Northern Song Dynasty, even in most cities, the doors are closed as soon as it gets dark, and it is forbidden to enter and exit, which is too exaggerated.

"Presumably Brother Zhou is coming to Tokyo for the first time!" Xin Xingzong smiled proudly: "This is Tokyo!" In Fanlou, now is the right time! ”

While he was talking, two more people came over and arched their hands towards Zhou Ping and the others. smiled: "It's still early tonight, why don't Brother Zhou go for a drink with us?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Ping to answer, Xin Xingzong had already turned his head and said loudly: "Brother Zhou is already our brothers' tonight, if you want to please, wait for tomorrow!" ”

The two were blocked by Xin Xingzong, and walked away with some ugly faces. Xin Xingzong turned his head and said with a smile: "Two thieves and birds, don't spoil our prosperity, Brother Zhou, let's go to Fanlou!" ”

"Liang Yuan is full of singing and dancing. Wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. Remember to be happy and happy. The lights are on the Fan Tower in the middle of the night. This is a poem by the Song Dynasty poet Liu Zicui reminiscing about the prosperity of Tokyo in the past, this restaurant is known as the first floor of Tokyo is located at the northern end of Tokyo's Imperial Street, with five east, west, south, south, and middle buildings, with a total of three floors. In accordance with the style that was popular at the time. The entrances of the Fan floors facing the street are all gatehouses decorated with colorful ornaments. After entering the gatehouse, there is a courtyard or verandah. The ground floor was a loose seat, which was called the "door bed horse road" at that time, and was generally for guests of low grade. And the rich man with a net worth. The dignitaries were greeted upstairs, and the two corridors of the upstairs patio were the private rooms called "small pavilions" at that time. Zhou Ping and his entourage entered the door, only to see that on the eaves of the verandah on the second floor, the lights were bright, and there were hundreds of young women in gorgeous costumes, like fairies under the lights. Zhou Ping was already dumbfounded, in fact, the scale of the decoration of Fan Lou was more common than that of later generations, but it was the first time he had seen hundreds of prostitutes on the balcony in broad daylight for everyone to watch and choose.

Xin Xingzong patted Zhou Ping's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "How?" Brother Zhou just said which one he liked, and he would let him know later, and take it to the small pavilion! ”

"Ahem!" Hearing Xin Xingzong say this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he coughed twice and sighed: "Our family has also been to Liaoren Nanjing, I thought it was good, compared to Tokyo Bianliang is simply a dirt village!" ”

"That's nature!" Xin Xingzong said with a smile, he pointed to the building to the west and asked, "Brother Zhou, do you see anything special about that building?" ”

Zhou Ping looked in the direction of Xin Xingzong's finger, and saw that although the west building was also very gorgeously decorated, except for a few guards on the first floor, there was no one on the second and third floors, compared to the other four buildings, which were crowded and deserted.

"Then why don't there be any guests in the West Building? Isn't the store being renovated? ”

"Brother, you just don't understand!" Xin Xingzong laughed: "The outside of the West Building is the Great Interior, and you can see it clearly when you stand upstairs, who dares to go up?" In fact, there is only one guest over there, that is the official family, I heard that there is a throne on the third floor, and the official family has also had a banquet with Master Li here! ”

"I see!" Zhou Ping nodded, and the extravagant atmosphere around him seemed to infect him, he turned to Xin Xingzong and asked, "Then which building are we going to tonight?" ”

"North Building!" Xin Xingzong said with a smile: "You can overlook Genyue over there, plus the Zhouqiao Night Market and the Bianhe Wanderer Girl not far away, the scenery is also excellent, I have already asked people to book a small pavilion on the top floor, and I will not get drunk with you and my brother tonight!" ”

Zhou Ping and the Xin brothers went up to the north building, and from time to time someone called out the names of the Xin brothers along the way, and the Xin brothers also responded with a smile, obviously the two of them were regular customers here. The three of them entered the pavilion, and without waiting for the waiter to speak, Xin Qizong ordered: "If there is a hot and refreshing wine and food, come up, and then call Tian Sanniang to sing the song, the master is indispensable to your little tent!" ”

"Okay, there is a spring wine that has just been put on the market today, it is the most refreshing, and the small one will be sent immediately!" The waiter answered, but after a while, all kinds of wine and food were sent up like flowing water, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old lady held the pipa and sang softly on the side, which sounded like a special taste. Xin Xingzong was very attentive, and kept persuading Zhou Ping to drink, Xin Qizong didn't say much, but he was also very intimate with Zhou Ping, not like Shangguan. Zhou Ping drank four or five glasses of wine and went down, and the wine came up for a while, and suddenly put the wine glass on a few cases, and asked: "There is a certain family that I don't understand, and I ask the two officials to explain!" ”

"Brother Zhou, please speak!"

"Today, I was able to declare my love in that Jingfu room, and I was able to be a commander of the military capital in the Shengjie Army, but I don't know why the two of them were so wrongly loved?"

Xin Xingzong and Xin Qizong glanced at each other, Xin Qizong coughed lowly, and said with a smile: "Don't you know that the brothers of the Zhou family have made great contributions when you come back from Yanjing this time, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before our brothers will point to you to live!" ”

"Where does this start?" Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this, he did have a lot of credit in Yanjing this time, especially the hostage who brought back Li Chuwen's young son, but this matter was not announced in the Jingfu room, could it be that the two of them had already gotten the news from elsewhere?

"Hehe, Xuan Shuai just likes people like Brother Zhou who don't take credit!" Xin Xingzong smiled, his face turned pale: "Let's ask you, who is our Xuanshuai's biggest opponent in the court?" ”

"Xuan Shuai's biggest opponent?" Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard it, he was not clear about the political situation of the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, and the description of the Northern Song Dynasty during this period from the history of the previous life can be summarized in one sentence: Song Huizong is a faint monarch, and the six thieves are traitors. As for who the sworn enemies of these six thieves are, it is a confused account.

Xin Xingzong saw that Zhou Ping looked confused, turned his head and glanced at Tian Sanniang, who was playing the pipa, and Tian Sanniang stood up and bowed and retreated, leaving only Zhou Ping and the Xin brothers in the small pavilion.

"Brother Zhou is his own person, so our family won't say those evasive words. Our Xuan Shuai is a eunuch, and this wealth was killed with the Western thief. According to the family law of this dynasty, if Xuan Shuai wants to keep this wealth, the only way is to hold the military power, in other words, to have a war! Brother Zhou, do you understand? ”

When Zhou Ping heard this, he had already understood six or seven points, and asked Qi Ai: "In that case, Xuan Shuai loves the villain because——"

"Exactly!" Xin Xingzong interrupted Zhou Ping's words: "The fame of Xuan Shuai's life is maintained on the great cause of cutting Liao, and whoever stops him from cutting down Liao will be his enemy of life and death." A few months ago, it was rumored in Beijing that the 100,000 horsemen of the general of Nayelu Yanxi rode south, and the court was terrified, and even the officials were a little repetitive. Cai Jing Lao'er jumped up and down even more, and he was bent on reversing the official family's mind to pay homage to the prime minister again, you sent back important news from Yanjing, and Xuan Shuai could bring Cai Jing Lao'er down, do you say this is a big deal? ”

"This ——, even if I don't send back the news from Yanjing, the truth will naturally be revealed in a month or two at most, right?"

"Hey, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!" Hearing this, Xin Xingzong showed a crying and laughing look on his face, as if he was laughing at Zhou Ping's naivety, and Xin Qizong on the side smiled: "Brother Zhou, you are in Yanjing, you don't know the urgency of the situation between the DPRK and China at that time. If there is no tangible news from you, who knows that it will get into Cai Yuanchang's crotch again, and at that time, it will be a big deal, even if the truth is revealed later, what is the use? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ping understood what Xin Xingzong meant, as he said, the situation in the court at that time was already quite favorable to Cai Jing's faction, if the civil officials of Wang Jiangchen's family also fell to Cai Jing, no matter how powerful Tong Guan was, it would be difficult to support one-armed. If Cai Jing's worship is successful, even if the truth is revealed later, the dust has already landed, and Tong Guan will only have a share of gloom.

"Therefore, Brother Zhou's achievement is a great achievement, and it is not just a military commander who can end it!" Xin Qizong on the side said with a smile: "Think about it, if Cai Yuan grows up, with his hot hands, where will we Xuanshuai's subordinates still have a way to live?" ”

"That's right!" Hearing this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly, even in modern times, there may be controversy about Cai Jing's evaluation of other aspects, but when it comes to the wide range of attacks in political disputes, there is a consensus, just by virtue of the "Yuanyou Party Monument", his political enemies and relatives and friends are wiped out, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, few of them can compare to him. In this way, he is really a great hero of the Tong Guan faction. (To be continued......)
