The things mentioned by Yang Yi were quickly clarified, and when Gao Taotao was seriously ill and unable to govern for a few months, the imperial power was actually in the hands of two eunuchs in Chongqing Palace, one was named Chen Yan and the other was Zhang Shiliang.

At that time, the courtiers' recitals were sent to the palace, all taken over by Chen Yan, he first reviewed them, and then read them to Gao Tao at will and selectively, Gao Tao had instructions, and Zhang Shiliang made a little record, if there was no instruction, Chen Yan covered the emperor's jade seal, which became the highest order of the Great Song Dynasty - the holy decree.

Gao Taotao would rather give the jade seal to the two eunuchs than to Emperor Zhao Xu, what is she going to do?

That's a good question!

It's a matter of life or death!

What Zhang Dian has to do now is to arrest these two people back and ask them this question again.

When Zhao Xu was in power, he had already assigned Zhang Shiliang to Chenzhou and Chen Yanfa to Zhu Ya, both in the Lingnan area.

It's probably going to take two months, but as long as it's successful, it's always worth it.

With Zhang Dian here, Yang Yi can rest assured that these things will not be taken care of, what he has to do now is to try his best to do a good job in this mission.

Handan, during the Warring States Period, was the capital of Zhao State, and was very prosperous, but after thousands of years of vicissitudes, it has now become a small county under the jurisdiction of Zhaozhou.

In the cold west wind, a team of brightly armored troops came outside the city of Handan, and the mission of this team was to envoy to the Liao State.

October Dinghai is the birthday of Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao - Tian'an Festival.

Over the years, every time the emperor was born, the Song and Liao generally sent envoys to each other to celebrate his birthday. A country of brothers, on the surface, both sides must maintain the demeanor of a great power.

Yang Yi, as the deputy envoy, walked at the front of the team with Ma Hanqing, dressed in civilian official clothes but could not hide the vigorous heroic spirit, for several months has been entangled in the open and secret battles in Beijing, it is inevitable that he is a little depressed, the moment he leaves Beijing, Yang Yi feels like a wild horse that has escaped, the sky is high and the earth is wide enough to let himself indulge in galloping!

After a period of recuperation, Zhao Xu's condition finally stabilized slightly, and it happened that the book "Records of Shenzong" was completed, recommended by Su Song, seconded by Zhang Dian and Li Qingchen, and Zhao Xu also agreed to Yang Yi as a deputy envoy to Liao.

Su Song and the three of them behaved in unison, Yang Yi could understand their good intentions, they just hoped that they could get out of the whirlpool of Baowen Pavilion as soon as possible.

If you fall there again, you may be doomed at any time.

The war horse neighed, and Li Yizhong, who was in charge of the inner guard, jumped his horse and ran to Yang Yi's side, and said in a loud voice: "Master Yang, it's getting late, are we staying overnight in Handan?" ”

Yang Yi looked up at the sky and replied, "I'll stay in Handan tonight, you send someone to notify the magistrate of Handan first, and let him pack up the post house!" ”

The matter of staying overnight was arranged by Yang Yi, the deputy envoy, and could be done cheaply, and there was no need to ask for further instructions unless the envoy Li Guangtong had special instructions.

The two hundred accompanying guards are all palace guards, all of them are seven-foot high-spirited men, majestic and mighty, they are not only here to serve as ceremonial soldiers, theoretically, the palace is the most elite army in the entire Great Song Dynasty, the number of people is kept at about 5,000;

He is responsible for guarding the palace on a daily basis, and when he sends envoys, he usually asks them to act as a façade, because he often has to accept the challenge of other countries' martial arts, these people naturally cannot be too bad in terms of combat effectiveness, otherwise it is impossible to stay in Banzhi.

When Yang Yi was among them, he would think of the military camp life in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a little more arrogant.

Once upon a time, the people here even led the fashion of the Central Plains by walking the posture, but now, it only leaves a desolate background at the end of the years.

Zhao Yongnian, the magistrate of Handan, greeted him out of the south gate, and made a long gesture from afar, and was very respectful to Li Guangtong, who was making a salute, and asked for warmth; But he was extremely indifferent to Yang Yi, a bright straight bachelor; …,

In fact, Li Guangtong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, as the envoy, also deliberately kept a distance from Yang Yi, and went out of Beijing for so many days, if it was not necessary, he basically did not talk to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi didn't care about these things, along the way, this kind of situation has become commonplace, and many local officials are old party officials, so naturally he has no good face for him, the initiator of the new tax system that 'brings disaster to the country and the people'. And he was less than a year old, and he became a bachelor of Jixian Academy, which made others even more dissatisfied.

This night, Zhao Yongnian set up a banquet to entertain the officials of the mission, Yang Yi also went, the banquet was held in the most luxurious Handan Restaurant in Handan, including the county Cheng, the main Bo and all the Handan officials were present, and there were five or six local squires, sitting together, so lively.

To Yang Yi's surprise, Yin Yan was also present, and he seemed to have a very high status, Zhao Yongnian and others respected him, he held a man named Lu Yuan into his seat, Lu Yuan gave advice to the doctor, and once studied under Cheng Yi, and was regarded as Yin Yan's senior brother.

"Master Yang, don't come unharmed!" Yin Yan was quite gentlemanly, and he waved at Yang Yi, his tone did not sound sarcastic, but someone snickered in a low voice behind his back.

Yang Yi just didn't hear it, his official position as a straight bachelor was because he proposed Shaosheng's new tax law, cultivated the "Records of Shenzong", and suggested the improvement of the Northwest Strategy, no matter what others thought, Yang Yi felt worthy of his heart; He replied with a smile: "I don't want to meet the old people here, Yin Caizi don't come to harm!" ”

Yang Yi smiled very heartily, but Yin Yi was somewhat unhappy, Yang Yi not only won half of his family property, but now he is rising step by step, how can he be embarrassed?

After the greetings on the scene, everyone entered the table one after another, Li Guangtong was invited to the top, and Yang Yi's position was arranged under Lu Yuan.

It's none of your business, it's enough to eat!

With such a mentality, Yang Yi sat down safely, no matter how these people talked, he just tasted the wine and food on the table unhurriedly.

If you don't see it in person, it is hard to imagine that Handan, such a withered small county, has made such a sumptuous delicacies, such as roasted doves, totoaba fish, fried lying birds, muntjac preserved river crabs, wine fried two livestock vinegar brains, yellow finch bream, etc., are very valuable dishes, ordinary people don't want to taste once in their lives.

The discussion on the table became more and more enthusiastic, and Lu Yuan stopped his cup and sighed: "Wenjing is governed by inaction, the world is abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment; However, the Han Wu appointed Sang Hongyang, and the government of salt and iron and alcohol was lost, which caused the people to be unbearable, the world withered, ten rooms and nine empty, a lesson from the past! ”

"Yes, the imperial court is now lightly changing the government that has been in place for nine years, promoting people who are tired of years and years old, degrading the loyal and virtuous, Shaosheng's new law is more than Xining's law is still a disaster, and the scholars govern the country and the country, and work hard, but now they have to pay taxes with the common people, is it difficult for the scholars to also go to the land to cultivate like the common people? Who governs the country? ”

"Since ancient times, only scholars govern people, farmers cultivate, workers govern tools, and businessmen communicate with each other, and each has its own place, so that the world can be governed!"

"However, there is nothing in the world, mediocre people disturb themselves, the ancestral law is there, the court only needs to do nothing, so that the people can rest and recuperate, and the world is at peace, and now the court has done everything to destroy the ancestral law, disturb the people and disrupt the government, and govern the country with traitors, and the country will be in danger!"

Yang Yi wanted to leave when he was full, but during the banquet, Lu Yuan and others talked endlessly, attacking the new deal vigorously between words, and often cast contemptuous glances at Yang Yi, and finally Lu Yuan relied on the old man to sell the old, stared at Yang Yi with both eyes, and directly attacked him as a traitor!

The clay figure still has three points, Yang Yi really couldn't listen to it anymore, put down his chopsticks and asked lightly: "Dare to ask Dr. Lu, what is the rule of inaction?" ”

Yang Yi has been silent, Lu Yuan and the others are feeling bored, as soon as they heard his response, everyone suddenly came to their senses, they may not dare to oppose them, but bullying Yang Yi, a junior who has just entered the ranks, can also export evil anger to some extent! …,

Lu Yuan didn't look at people seriously at all, and said proudly in the tone of a master and apprentice: "Don't disturb the people, don't mess with harsh governance, the people are self-sufficient, this is the rule of inaction." ”

"Oh, don't disturb the people, then may I ask Doctor Lu, the scholar has annexed the land in the world, so that the cultivators have no land, is this considered disturbing the people?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

Yin Yu hurriedly replied: "Heaven rewards hard work!" The diligent and the wise make a fortune, the mediocre and the lazy do not think about production, and in the end they can only sell the fields. ”

Sure enough, it's sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed!

Yang Yi asked coldly: "It is an indisputable fact that scholars do not pay taxes, but the land is slowly concentrated in their hands. Without taxes, where would the salaries of officials and soldiers come from? ”

The scene fell silent for a while, and in the face of Yang Yi's harsh question, everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while.

Yang Yi didn't stop doing anything, got up and sneered: "If you do nothing, the people are self-sufficient; This is simply a joke, the official does not want to give more moral government to the people, educate the people, and guide the people, but sit back and wait for the people to be self-sufficient, what is the use of the court and the people wanting you as an official? Without you, the court could pay less money, and the people could pay less taxes, wouldn't this be even less disturbing to the people? Shopkeeper's! ”

Yang Yi finally shouted, the shopkeeper of Hanshan Restaurant hurriedly ran up, Yang Yi ignored the stunned crowd, and asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this banquet?" ”

The shopkeeper thought he was going to settle the bill, so he hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Lord Hui, a total of four hundred and eighty-two times!" ”

"This is the thirty guan that the official ate, take it!"

After stuffing the money to the shopkeeper, Yang Yi glanced back at the people who were still stunned, and said with a smile: "A table of banquets is four hundred and eighty, this is your inaction?" Is this your non-nuisance? Drink slowly, and only when you get drunk can you do nothing! ”

After Yang Yi finished speaking, he went downstairs with a long smile, and everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Yi's voice came from the staircase:

Mo Dao cicada lying high,

The style of food and drink is a rumor.

There is nothing to be done in the world,

10,000 black yarns can be thrown!

In Longfu Palace, Liu Qingjing stroked her little belly with a happy face, her small waist was still slender and round, and she couldn't see any changes, but after being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, she was indeed pregnant.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was overjoyed, his condition miraculously improved a lot, and he immediately ordered Liu Jieyu to be crowned as a concubine!

"Mother, hurry up and put on your clothes, be careful of catching a cold!" Xiao Ju persuaded with a smile next to her.

Liu Guifei took the clothes and put them on, a wisp of sorrow floated on the faces of seductive beings, and sighed softly: "It's a pity that the enemy is far away from the Khitan, I'm afraid I don't know that people are pregnant with his child!" ”

"Niang Niang is cautious!"

Xiao Ju was startled, and hurriedly ran out of the hall to look, and found that there was no one else except Jasmine outside, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she and Jasmine were guarding outside the cold palace gate that night, and they knew exactly what was going on inside, if this shocking secret was leaked out, they would all die without a place to bury.

Liu Guifei leaned lazily on the bed, thinking of the situation that night, she couldn't help but feel spring love, Yang Yi was handsome and extraordinary, not only gave her a child, but also a strong feeling that she couldn't dream of, the taste of wanting to die made her feel like she was addicted to drugs, and she couldn't restrain herself every time she thought about it! She really wanted to leave everything behind and fly with Yang Yi......

But this is impossible, full of thoughts can only turn into a wisp of sorrow, often haunting the heart!

Seeing that Xiao Ju's face was still a little disgusted, Liu Guifei comforted: "Don't worry Xiao Ju, I'll pay attention to it in the future!" If you have done this to me, I will not do you any wrong. ”

"Can't the mother forget him? It's too dangerous! ”…,

"Forget? Xiaoju, you won't understand, there are some things that you can't forget. ”

"But ......"

"Okay Xiaoju, I promise not to talk nonsense in the future, it's all right!"

Xiao Ju couldn't help but smile and nodded!

The master and servant gossiped in the hall for a while, and one called Hao followed the eunuch to the outside of the palace to ask for a meeting, and after coming in, he said with a little mystery and excitement: "Niangniang, something strange happened in the palace!" ”

Liu Guifei looked at this eunuch who was bent on taking refuge in herself, a little funny, when she was favored in the past, Hao Sui had always been flattering her, and now it is even more unbelievable, Zhao Xu can't be a person after he gets rid of Yang, and if Liu Guifei gives birth successfully, she will become the only heir to the throne, and now I don't know how many servants in the palace want to tie up Longfu Palace, which is not surprising.

"Tell me, what strange things can happen in this palace?"

Hao Sui leaned over and replied: "Back to Niangniang, the slave heard that the Funing Hall is praying for the blessing of the official family!" ”

"Oh, Funing Palace?"

Liu Guifei was interested when she heard it, and she also sat up, Funing Hall is the palace of Queen Meng, and she and Queen Meng have been jealous for a long time; In the palace, this kind of struggle between women is no more common, and it is no more tragic, and there are few who don't want to climb up, don't want to be a queen. Palace, this kind of thing has been happening every day for thousands of years.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"Niangniang, the slave finally inquired, the queen said that it was to pray for the official family, and asked Mrs. Yan to bring a female crown called Fa Duan into the palace, and together with Wang Jian, she was praying in the Funing Hall to set up an ancestral hall, and the slave quietly went to take a look, but found that Fa Duan seemed to be praying for blessings, but it was clearly harming people."

Liu Guifei's face was full of vigilance, and she asked urgently, "How do you say this?" Say it! ”

Hao Sui came closer and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, when the slave was young, he was in his hometown, and he happened to see a Taoist priest using talismans and talismans to harm people, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong. ”

"You're sure!"

Hao Sui nodded heavily, looking at Liu Guifei with a look of hope, as if he saw great wealth waiting for him.

Liu Guifei and Xiaoju glanced at each other and said in a deep voice: "Go!" Go to Bowen Court! ”
