readx;?“ What a cute puppy! Xiao Ruoruo looked at the five pairs of Tibetan mastiffs brought back by Zhao Lei, and immediately rushed over to stroke the trembling body of the little Tibetan mastiff who was not satisfied with the moon, and said in surprise.

"Very cute!" Zhao Lei looked at the grass wrapped in yellow silk, three black, three yellow, two white, one green, and one red ten cute long-haired little Tibetan mastiffs, nodded and said with a smile.
At this moment, the ladies of the Zhao Mansion, the maidservants and the subordinates who got the news that Zhao Lei brought back ten cute puppies came to the front hall one after another to see the precious puppies that Zhao Lei brought back from the palace and personally rewarded by the officials.
The young Tibetan mastiff is not afraid of people at all, nor does it have the ferocity and might of adulthood, with soft long hair, innocent and curious eyes, and a fat body, which looks very cute.
After a while, Xiao Cui and Yihong, as well as the maidservants of Zhao Mansion, who rushed to hear the news, all joined the team of teasing the little Tibetan mastiff, and played with the cute little Tibetan mastiff on the cold grass in early spring.
The subordinates of the Zhao Mansion watched from the sidelines with a happy face, not commenting on the characteristics of a few Tibetan mastiffs.
"This is a feudal dog?" Bai Xinlan, who squatted on the ground and stroked a cute white little Tibetan mastiff, looked at the long-haired puppy who was rolling on the grass and was not too cold, and asked Zhao Lei curiously.
Zhao Lei also squatted on the grass, carefully holding a rare red little Tibetan mastiff, stroking the soft long hair of the Tibetan mastiff, and said to Bai Xinlan with a smile: "Xinlan, you are really knowledgeable!" I actually recognized it as a feudal dog! ”
"Dog! Is it famous? Xiao Ruoruo looked curiously at the small golden Tibetan mastiff struggling in his hand. Asked in surprise.
"Of course, the clan dog is very famous, there is an adult clan dog in the thirteen restaurants, very fierce, I heard that the clan dog is very powerful, can tear the tiger wolf, and is very loyal. Many wealthy people in Bianjing are proud of raising a dog to take care of their homes, and I heard that it is very precious. Bai Xinlan looked at the cute white puppy in her hand and said to Xiao Ruoruo seriously.
"Xinlan is right, the dog is only found in the Tu Domain, the fur is long and heavy, resistant to cold, can sleep peacefully in the ice and snow, the character is resolute, strong and fierce, and the wild nature still exists. Very aggressive, the domain dog protects the territory, protects food, is good at attacking, and has a strong hostility towards strangers. But he is extremely affectionate to his master, and is a right-hand man who cares for the family and cares for the home, herds horses and sheep.
The dog is as strong as a cow, roars like a lion, has both rigidity and softness, can herd cattle and sheep, can understand the meaning of the owner, can drive away jackals, tigers and leopards, and an adult Tibetan mastiff can defeat three evil wolves. It can make the leopard bow to the wind, and it is known as 'tengu' in the Tu Domain, and few people are willing to sell it. So there are very few Great Song songs. Zhao Lei stroked the little Tibetan mastiff lying in his hands when he was tired of playing, and said very fondly.
"This little thing is so powerful, it's not the king of dogs!" Xiao Cui stroked the golden little Tibetan mastiff beside her and said in surprise.
"It should be the emperor of dogs, there is no more ferocious dog in this world than the Tibetan mastiff, otherwise the clan dog will not be paid to the court as a tribute." Zhao Lei explained carefully.
"It's so powerful, I'm going to raise one!" Xiao Ruoruo tightly held the golden little Tibetan mastiff in his hand in his arms, and said to Zhao Lei excitedly.
"I want it too!" "I want it too!" Bai Xinlan, Xiao Cui and Yi Hong all opened their mouths to ask Zhao Lei for something.
"Good! There's one for everyone, so choose one for each of you! Zhao Lei said with a wry smile to Bai Xinlan, Xiao Ruoruo, Xiaocui and Yihong. He didn't expect that the ferocity of the Tibetan mastiff had been explained so clearly, these women still liked these small animals, no wonder pets were so popular after a thousand years, it turned out that women's love for animals was so sufficient in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Hearing Zhao Lei's words, the four girls immediately began to choose the pleasing one as a pet among the ten cute little Tibetan mastiffs, and finally Bai Xinlan chose a cute little Tibetan mastiff with a snow-white body and only a pink nose, while Xiaocui chose a cyan Tibetan mastiff with the same name as her, Yihong also chose a red Tibetan mastiff that matched her name, and Xiao Ruoruo chose a golden little Tibetan mastiff.
By the time the four girls had already selected their favorite little Tibetan mastiff, Zhao Lei selected a pure black Tibetan mastiff, and then grabbed the remaining two black little Tibetan mastiffs, turned his head to Zhu Dali and Hou Shan, who were watching the excitement in the crowd, and said: "Zhu Dali, Hou Shan, these two are yours, one is in the gatehouse, and the other is in the front hall, taking care of the home, which is the most reliable!" ”
The honest and tall Zhu Dali and the shrewd and thin Hou Shan, hearing that there were still their share in the ten Tibetan mastiffs, walked out of the crowd with a surprised face, took the little Tibetan mastiff in Zhao Lei's hand with a smile, and teased happily.
"This one is given to Mrs. Guo in the east wing of the backyard, the white one is sent to the Yang Mansion to the Golden Flower Girl, and the remaining one is kept in my yard and left for Mrs. Zhao Lei grabbed a golden Tibetan mastiff, looked at the other two Tibetan mastiffs, one yellow and one white, and said to the maid beside him.
The maidservant respectfully took over the careful service of the Tibetan mastiff, and Zhao Lei said loudly to the happy Houshan next to him: "Houshan! You immediately build a hut for the dogs, and the lady and mine will build them in their respective yards, and the two of you will build them in the front hall and the porter. ”
Hou Shan respectfully agreed, hugged the Tibetan mastiff, commanded the people of the Zhao Mansion, and began to build a warm nest for the Tibetan mastiffs.
……
In the evening, Hou Shan commanded Zhao's subordinates to build a warm nest of five pairs of cute little Tibetan mastiffs, when they met Lu Yijian, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who came to the door.
Lu Yijian came, and when he heard the news, Zhao Lei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited Lu Yijian, the most powerful prime minister in the Great Song Dynasty, to the front hall study.
"Lord Lu can come to the mansion, it's really Peng. Blooming! In the study, Zhao Lei laughed and clenched his fists and said eagerly to Lu Yijian.
"Lord Zhao is polite, Lord Zhao has been in Bianjing for so long, and the official has not come to congratulate him, forgive me!" Lu Yijian said politely.
"Lord Lu has a lot of opportunities, so naturally he doesn't have time to be an official." Zhao Lei smiled, and after beckoning the maid next to him to serve tea, he said with a smile to Lu Yijian.
Lu Yijian and Zhao Lei chatted for a while, looking at Zhao Lei looking like he was ready to chat for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "I heard that several unsuccessful officials in the household department actually made things difficult for Lord Zhao in the affairs of the new army. It's really damned, Lord Zhao met with the official family today, has he already informed the official family of this matter! ”
It turned out that he came to probe the wind, it seems that Lu Yijian, an old fox, also knew that the officials of the household department made it difficult for the new army to organize and train After stabbing the officials, those officials in the household department did not have good fruit to eat! Zhao Lei thought with a sneer in his heart.
"The official family has a lot of opportunities. This is a trivial matter, why should the official family know about it! Zhao Lei said to Lu Yijian indifferently.
"Since Lord Zhao doesn't want to trouble the official family, why did he stop supplying the Hubu Jinyin Copper Mine! You must know that the household department urgently needs these mines to mint coins, and Lord Zhao is not afraid of the blame of the officials? Lu Yijian was really shrewd, and put all the things on Zhao Lei's head and asked.
"Yes! If Lord Lu thinks so, the lower officials will have nothing to say, you must know that several old mines in the iron case are drying up day by day, the construction of new mines is being difficult by the household department, and the ore is becoming scarce. The problem of money shortage is getting more and more serious, and it seems that the lower officials are going to go to the official's house with the household officials to take a charge. Zhao Lei picked up the teacup on the coffee table in his hand, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently to Lu Yijian. But the threat in the tone is something that even a fool can hear.
Hearing Zhao Lei's threatening words, Lu Yijian smiled bitterly in his heart, the matter of embarrassing Zhao Lei by the household officials was not instructed by Lu Yijian at all. It's that Zhao Lei is too strong in the limelight, which has aroused their jealousy, but now there is a problem. In the face of the strong and unforgiving Zhao Lei, Lu Yijian had to come out to wipe the ** for those household officials, thinking about it was really a nest.
Although there is a fire, things must always be done, and now is the critical moment of the battle with Li Di, Lu Yijian not only does not want to make Zhao Lei, the big enemy, but also hopes to form an alliance with Zhao Lei at this critical juncture to jointly deal with Li Di, the biggest enemy.
Thinking of this, Lu Yijian smiled slightly and said to Zhao Lei: "Lord Zhao should be considerate of the household officials. Recently, the official family has asked to rebuild the embankment of the Daimyo's Mansion, and there is a problem of money shortage, there is a shortage of manpower, and it is inevitable that mistakes will be made in the chaos, and the problem of the training place of the new army will definitely be solved tomorrow, and the household officials will fully cooperate in the future, Lord Zhao is satisfied! ”
Hearing Lu Yijian's weak words, Zhao Lei nodded after a while, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this time I came to the Mansion for the affairs of the household department, right?" ”
"If someone deceives the official family and shields the criminal, how will Lord Zhao deal with it?" Hearing Zhao Lei's question, Lu Yijian asked in a deep voice with a straight face.
Of course, Zhao Lei knew that Lu Yijian said that he deceived the official family, and the person who shielded the criminal official must be Li Di, and these words were the temptation of forming an alliance to fight the enemy together, and after pondering for a while, Zhao Lei asked carefully: "Of course, it is a big crime to deceive the official family and shield the criminal official, but does Lord Lu have evidence?" ”
Lu Yijian understood that the evidence Zhao Lei said was the evidence of Fan Wei's case, only if Fan Wei was convicted of the crime, Li Di could be convicted of deception and cover-up, if Fan Weidi's charges could not be confirmed, what could Li Di do.
"Of course there is evidence, and the offender will definitely be defeated, but the official who covers it is not so easy to bring it down!" Lu Yijian said indifferently to Zhao Lei.
"If the offender is convicted, the official who shielded him will definitely not be able to escape justice, but ......?" Zhao Lei looked at Lu Yijian with a smile in an elongated tone and said.
"What's so difficult about Lord Zhao?" Lu Yijian knew that it was time to talk about the conditions, so he asked Zhao Lei directly.
"Lord Fan, Lord Ouyang, Lord Yu and Lord Yin, all of them are friends of Xiaguan, and they were demoted out of Bianjing together with Xiaguan back then, and now Xiaguan has returned to Bianjing, but they have stayed outside the capital, and Xiaguan has such a few friends in Bianjing, and it is inevitable that he will be lonely in his heart!" Zhao Lei said meaningfully to Lu Yijian.
Originally, they wanted to transfer Fan Zhongyan and them back to Bianjing, although Pan Lou Sikui was not on the right path with him, but his foundation was still shallow, and these four people, except for Ouyang Xiu, all had their own fatal character shortcomings, so they were not to be afraid at all, thinking of this, Lu Yijian smiled and said to Zhao Lei: "Lord Fan, they are dedicated to the people, of course, they have to be transferred back to the capital to contribute to the country, but Lord Fan is dredging the five rivers, and when the matter is over, they can naturally enter Beijing, and Lord Ouyang, waiting for the end of the triennial review of the Ministry of Officials in June, will be able to transfer back to the capital immediately." ”
"In this case, those who deceive the official family and shield the offender will definitely pay the price!" Zhao Lei heard Lu Yijian's reply and said affirmatively.
When the temporary alliance was reached, Lu Yijian said goodbye and left, leaving Zhao Lei to start thinking about how much he could get in it once Lu Yijian defeated Li Di, the imperial court would have big fluctuations.
……
In the next few days, the case of Fan Yan presided over by Song Shou changed greatly, and under the correction of many witnesses such as Fan's family and neighbors, Fan Wei was accused of disrespecting legislation and violating customs, and was demoted to Lingnan, while Pang Ji, because of his meritorious service in exposing Fan Wei, returned to Bianjing to serve as a member of the military department.
Fan Wei was convicted of the crime, and Li Di, who shielded Fan Wei, was also implicated, and was accused of shielding and deceiving officials by Wang Su, Lu Yijian, Zhao Lei and other officials, and dismissed the prime minister and demoted the official Xinzhou, and Li Di's henchmen, Teng Zongliang, Shi Yannian, Dong Chu, Fan Zheng and other officials were demoted from Bianjing.
