Bianliang mistake

Chapter 128

Farewell (1)

Outside the Xinfengqiu Gate in the north of the Bianliang Gate, in a long pavilion, a banquet is being held at this moment. In the pavilion, there are only three or so people in light robes. There were many servants waiting outside the pavilion. One of them is extraordinarily large, with a scale of more than 200 people, more than ten cars in the team, and dozens of strong mules and horses. These servants are wearing nine-eared hemp shoes, and the clothes on their bodies are thick and sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of the wind and frost on the road, and they look like they are going to walk a long way.

Needless to say, this is a farewell banquet, the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, this promotion and transfer are uncertain. Every year in the capital of Bianliang, the fundamental center of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many officials and generals are satisfied with entering the first form of the capital in the world, and I don't know how many people say goodbye to the emperor, or for Jiangzhou Sima, or listen to the stuffed eggplant, or boil Huangzhou pork, or write books in Xijing. When can I return to the emperor's hometown, it can only depend on whether my life is hard enough.

But when you say goodbye, it's always gloomy. In this era of difficult travel to and from music books, it is even more ten. At this moment, it is about to enter the twilight autumn season, and the weather outside the new Fengqiu Gate is open, and it is already a layer of forests. Looking back at the south, you can see the sunset of Yishan Mountain, and you can see the clouds of the iron tower. The iron tower of Kaibao Temple not far away is more thick and distinct in the autumn color, the autumn wind blows, and the sound of the ringing of the seven treasure bells hanging on the iron tower is fluttering and fluttering, and it is directly transmitted into this long pavilion.

At the banquet in the long pavilion, the person sitting on the guest seat who was going to travel far away, the robe was Xiao Ran, it was Wu Min. Although he was promoted to the rank of an official, after receiving a lot of grace, he went out to Hedong to know the road and sentenced him to the mansion. But for the people of the Great Song Dynasty in this era, leaving Emperor Bianliang is always not a happy thing. If the imperial court intends to promote this official, in order to make his seniority complete, let him go abroad as an official, this period is always fixed, and it is often not necessary to complete a full term.

But for Wu Min, he can be regarded as a big heel with Liang Shicheng in the political dispute some time ago. This trip is not for the purpose of being promoted to the position of privy envoy in the future to make up enough seniority. When to return to Bianliang in the undetermined day, maybe you will have to go up and down on the east side of the river for many years. Not to mention that this eunuch is poor, it is to enjoy the pleasure, in this era, all the other places are far from Bianliang. Even some famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River are known for their prosperity, such as Hangzhou and Quanzhou, there is still a gap between them and Bianliang. Not to mention that Wu Min is going to the near border of the mountains and rivers in the east of the river, where the wind and frost are fierce!

Therefore, even if he still leaves Hedong as a great nobleman, he is almost in charge of all the power of Hedong Road. Wu Min didn't have a noble official uniform, just homely clothes, and his expression was also a little lazy, and there was a lot of depression between his eyebrows.

Accompanying the two, it is these days that Geng Nanzhong and Yuwen Xuzhong, who are very dazzling in the party of the old party Qingliushi and Dr. Qingliu, who have become the backbone of the backbone. The old party Qingliushi was too badly damaged by Cai Jing's vitality a few years ago, but now it is only slightly loosened, and many people are still exiled and cannot be transferred back to Bianliang for a while. There are also many old adults who have gradually withered with Cai Jingtong and them, and now in the Bianliang Dumen, it is indeed Geng Nanzhong and Yuwen Xuzhong, one is the prince's henchman, and he will be the prime minister in the future. One is a noble scholar of Hanlin, who is quick to see and wise, and has become a mainstay for a while. On the eve of the great changes in the pattern between the DPRK and China, he is holding on to the situation and trying his best to gain the future status of his own party.

Wu Min used to be the head of their party in the capital, and now he has a heavy responsibility when he goes out to Hedong, and he has the responsibility of suppressing the Shenwu Changsheng army, and Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong are also here to see them off.

The wine and food displayed on several cases are by no means sumptuous for the identities of the three people present. But the three of them will not put their minds on it. After offering a few glasses of wine according to the ritual note and saying a few farewell words that should be appropriate for the occasion. Yuwen Xuzhong and Geng Nanzhong were silent for a while. Comparing hearts to hearts, everyone is a person who wants to gain a foothold in the center of the imperial court and take on heavy responsibilities to do great things. Wu Min came out so gloomily, and he wanted to return indefinitely, and it was not appropriate to say anything. Not to mention that Wu Min assisted Liang Shicheng last time, Yuwen Xuzhong and Geng Nanzhong were both shaking goose feather fans next to them, but in the end, it was such a result, which made the two of them feel a little guilty now.

In the end, it was Wu Min who adjusted his mentality, and smiled freely: "Daoxi, second brother Shutong, why do you have to do this?" This is a poor journey, and it is impossible to say. Since the matter has come to this, a certain burden is it. There are also many things to do on Hedong Road, not that is the end of the world, and the days when everyone will meet again are still very long............ Today, the two of them came to send, which is already full of hospitality. In the future, the affairs of the capital gate will be entrusted to the two brothers, the country is an eventful autumn, and if my generation of scholars and doctors does not come forward, will it be impossible for those who are to continue to make this Bianliang into a miasma? ”

When Wu Min went out, the scene was indeed a little sad. It turned out that he was semi-attached to Liang Shicheng. Although Liang Shicheng is known as the hidden phase, after all, he is a yin person, and the atmosphere is not open. Wu Min messed things up, it's already good that he doesn't fall into the well, where will he come to see him off again. Cai Jing's family of characters ignores Wu Min, whether he is in Dumen or on Hedong Road, it doesn't matter if he is there. The old party is clear, and the power in the capital is not big after all, and there are not many people who can handle it. What's more, the situation in the capital has changed recently, everyone is engrossed in watching the development of the situation, and there is indeed not much to pay attention to a character who is going out, and in the end, Geng Nanzhong and Yuwen Xuzhong came forward. On the eunuch road, the world is hot and cold, and you can only get used to it.

Although Wu Min tried his best to speak freely, the last few words still showed resentment. A sentence of the spirited people is almost a clear reference to Xiao Yan who has now given birth to something in the capital gate, stirring up countless people to secretly run to return. Wu Min was planted in Xiao Yan's hands this time, no matter how wide his heart was, he couldn't laugh at it.

Geng Nanzhong hated Xiao Yan, especially Wu Min. At the moment, he hated and said: "What Brother Neyan said, who is not the same? Over the years, the state affairs have been ruined by the fortunate people who come and go. If it were according to the ancestral system of ruling the world with scholars, how could there be today's scene? In the end, I had to believe in the interests of the villain to help the immediate need. What kind of ball market, what bonds, what is to check the forbidden army, or the trick of a villain, the crooked ways, or the behavior of Meng Lang who will have endless troubles in the future! If this generation of villains can be used because of this, the future state affairs will be even more unbearable! ”

Wu Min and Yu Wen glanced at each other, both aware of Geng Nanzhong's bitter resentment towards Xiao Yan. In fact, in fact, in addition to the fact that when Yanjing comforted the Northern Expedition army, Xiao Yan had an accident in Yandi, which made Geng Nanzhong's wishful thinking fail. Xiao Yan and this Fang Zheng master have never had any dealings. is no better than Wu Min, who is sturdy, and is gloomy because of Xiao Yan. But for Geng Nanzhong, Xiao Yan is already a-for-tat political enemy.

The reason for this is also very simple, Zhao Ji drove to the ball market, and Zhao Kai, the king of Jia, accompanied him, and sent Zhao Ji to summon Xiao Yan to ask the right question. Jiawang accompanied him throughout the process. In the end, Xiao Yan was sent by the deputy capital of the Privy Council, plus the important dispatch of the funds and financial affairs of the two routes to garrison the forbidden army, and this matter had already been rumored. Coupled with Xiao Yan's issuance of bonds, King Jia also ran around the scenes, not only taking out some of his belongings and investing them in bonds, but also saying that many forbidden characters were involved in it. Xiao Yan's bond was issued vigorously, and a large amount of money should be served by the official. In front of Zhao Ji, he became more and more credible, and now he stretched out his hand to the forbidden army. In this way, if you want to say that King Jia and Xiao Yan have no collusion and tacit understanding, no one believes it. Not to mention Geng Nanzhong, who wholeheartedly assisted the crown prince and was engrossed in staring at King Jia's movements. In his heart, the collusion between Xiao Yan and King Jia is already a sure fact. This cognition is not only Geng Nanzhong, but even Yuwen Xuzhong, who is very accurate, has six or seven points of possibility. Zhao Ji's favor for King Jia has always been undiminished, King Jia was depressed a few days ago, and the characters who had a close relationship either went to the throne or avoided the road. Zhao Ji arranged for the new favorite minister to help King Jia, which is also uncertain. King Jia and Xiao Yan colluded, first in the financial and financial affairs that could impress Zhao Ji the most, and then stretched out his hand to the forbidden army, as long as he could master a considerable part of the strength of the forbidden army, maybe there would be a possibility of seizing the heir in the future. This roadmap makes everyone in the game have to guard against it, even if it's not true, they have to deal with it with all their might.

Once Xiao Yan has any tacit understanding with King Jia, he will naturally be Geng Nanzhong's enemy of life and death. Furthermore, it is the life-and-death enemy of Geng Nanzhongyu Wenxu, who regards the prince as the old party doctor Qingliu who will rely on in the future.

If in the past, Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong and their party figures dealt with Xiao Yan in order to seize the position in the DPRK and China, in order to restrain Cai Jing's comeback and restore his former power, now they really regard him as a political opponent who must be eliminated quickly.

If Xiao Yan heard Geng Nanzhong's resentful words at the side at this moment, he would have to shout that he was wronged. He really didn't have the heart to participate in King Jia's succession at this moment. And for Xiao Yan, patting Zhao Ji's ass alone is pinching his nose. Isn't it fun to find a future master for yourself? Everything he is doing at the moment is to be able to take his fate into his own hands in the next few years! King Jia insisted on getting up to it with his own affection, and Xiao Yan was also happy to take advantage of it. In the future, it may be even more special............

After listening to Geng Nanzhong's hatred, Wu Min was silent for a while, and asked softly: "This son from the south wants to investigate the matter, how is it going?" ”

Yuwen shook his head in vain: "This is a matter of sitting down, Xiao Xianmo really chose it very accurately. From the rumors of the past few days, the forbidden army is already preparing to give in. To hand over millions of guan to Xiao Xianmo............ That seems to be the end of it. After all, it is the official family standing behind Xiao Xianmo, and the forbidden army generals can't resist from the beginning............ If it is a war against Yan, the metropolitan gate control army can be a little more effective, and it will not swallow its anger at this moment, to be honest, or these capital gate control troops know that their own family is not angry, and the court will inevitably take action. It is hoped that if we sit down and make concessions for a while, we will be able to perfunctory things in the past, and the officials and the people in the court may be satisfied, and they will not be broken in the future............ Now many people are running around in the meantime, and the characters of the Sanya Gao Taiwei are middle-aged people, and the deputy Du Yuhou of the guards is also very enthusiastic, and it seems that it has almost become a foregone conclusion. Hearing that Xiao Yan had another chip, he easily bit a piece of meat on the Dumen Forbidden Army, and Wu Min's face naturally turned on his face and he couldn't see where to go. As far as Wenchen scholars and doctors are concerned, they naturally also want to rectify the extremely decadent Dumen Forbidden Army, the lack of financial resources of the imperial court, and the fact that there are almost no available soldiers is a fact in front of everyone, and they really can't stand it if they don't sort it out. But this matter must be in the hands of these scholars, scholars, and doctors, not in the hands of a son from the south who is not born correctly and has bad intentions!

But this Nanlaizi has the ability to manage things, and he seems to be able to come up with a solution to anything in his hands. Now if Xiao Yan is in the next city in the matter, his status in front of the official family will be even different. If this Xiao can stabilize his footing, he may climb higher and higher in the future, if this son always has a place in the center of the court, but people can't see that there is fire in their eyes, and they can't wait to swallow him with a mouthful of water?

Wu Min thought about it, and couldn't think of any way to deal with Xiao Yan for a while, so he could only pretend to be relieved and said: "Second brother doesn't have to be like this, this Nanlaizi is favored for a while." After all, when it comes to the foundation, he is still shallow. The most feared thing is that he can influence the Shenwu Victorious Army to go out to Hedong, and when he is in Hedong, even when he sleeps, he will stare at this Shenwu Victorious Army with one eye open. Looking at his methods now, it seems that he has exhausted them, can there be any variables? Now it's up to him, as long as this son from the south still wants to go further, the Great Song Dynasty system, this seniority will always have to go through............ There's always a time for him to go out, right? As long as he doesn't fix his favor in front of the king day by day, can he still have today's status? The little affection in front of the saint is naturally lighter............ At that time, it will not be a big problem. Let's just look at him now! ”

These few sentences are old words, and Xiao Yan's biggest weakness is that the foundation is not enough. Although he was raised to such a status at once. But for being an official in the Great Song Dynasty, he was too young and his seniority was not enough. As long as Xiao Yan still wants to rise, according to the Great Song Dynasty system, he must be in perfect order, which means that he must go out. Once he goes out, he is not an orthodox scholar, and there are always inextricable relationships in the Great Song Dynasty, and his current status is all won by his struggle. At that time, in the capital, it is rare to have any support, and the love of the monarch will naturally fade. When the time comes, there is room to start. If he doesn't want to rise up, if he doesn't want to go out to make up enough seniority, he will be a fortunate minister next to the Son of Heaven, and he will not be able to enter the position of central government that can exert great influence. No matter how capable you are, you won't be able to do anything.

Geng Nanzhong heard these words and nodded frequently. Speaking of hearts, Geng Nanzhong and Wu Min couldn't wait to knock Xiao Yan down immediately. But now there is nothing that can be done. Only by relying on the huge inertia of the future Great Song Dynasty system slowly grinded Xiao Yan into it. For the Great Song Dynasty, which has been in operation for a hundred years, no one can violate the inertia of the system. Geng Nanzhong and Wu Min are very confident.

At that moment, Geng Nanzhong took a breath, cleaned up his complexion and said lightly: "Let's just let this clown jump off the beam for a while............ When such fortunate people reigned for one day, they didn't know how much damage they would bring to the Great Song Dynasty. In the future, we still have to rely on our generation to make up for this loss of vitality, which is really a long way to go............"

Here, Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong talked to each other. Yuwen Xuzhong has been frowning and thinking about something. There was no sound for half a day. Geng Nanzhong wanted to persuade Wu Min to have a glass, but he raised his glass in his hand but saw that Yu Wenxu was fixed there. opened his mouth to greet: "Brother Shutong, let's have a drink and Brother Nayan's birthday!" ”

Yuwen woke up from his contemplation in a flash, but he didn't raise his glass, and shook his head lightly at Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong: "What Brother Shicai Nayan and Brother Daoxi said is naturally right, but the student thought that Xiao Xianmo had always acted as a person, and couldn't help but be a little distracted............"

Geng Nanzhong frowned and said, "At this moment, for Brother Neyan's farewell, why do you think about that disgusting thing?" Brother Neyan has gone thousands of miles, so he should persuade a few more cups. Bianliang wine, I want to drink with Brother Neyan again, but I don't know when it will be! ”

Wu Min stopped drinking, and asked Yuwen Xuzhong with a smile: "Brother Shutong, what did you think of again?" ”

Yuwen Xuzhong's expression was solemn, and his tone was gentle, as if he was afraid of being heard by others other than the three of them: "............ This Xiao Xianmo has done extraordinary things and made extraordinary contributions all the way. How can he not know that even if he is in a small situation now, he will still have little chance of struggling upwards according to the ordinary path in the future? This person is accustomed to breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, and has always been able to pour out guts. If this time he sat down, if it stopped there, it would be too different from what he was used to............ The student always felt that he would continue to attack the forbidden military, and finally give birth to great variables, and then he could obtain greater benefits, and take a step forward with means that my generation could not imagine!

………… In a Pingyan war, Xiao Xianmo immediately became noble. Since returning to Bianliang, he has not hesitated to face the hidden sky like the sun. Whatever is in his hands, he will not stop until it is in his hands to the greatest benefit of his own family. This inspection and sorting out the forbidden army's financial and financial affairs is so important, how can Xiao Xianmo be satisfied just because of the investigation and sitting? In the student's mind, he must reach into the capital gate control army, completely stir a qiqi, until he can master part of the strength of the capital gate control army! ”

Yuwen spoke in a quiet voice, and continued to speak along his own lines. It was smooth for a while, and even he was startled by the last few words. This is just his feeling, just now he forgot his form, and he actually said it all. The two people present were all pale, and the other was incredulous. Xiao Yan was able to win a game against such a huge interest group as the forbidden army, which was already enough to make people marvel, and people couldn't help but say that Xiao Yan had always been hard-hitting. To say that he still wants to continue to do things about the forbidden army's financial affairs and give birth to more things, it is simply that Xiao Yan wants to find a way to die. The interest group of the forbidden army is forced to be in a hurry, and there are too many ways to deal with Xiao Yan. With Xiao Yan's shrewdness, how could he be so stupid?

The second is that Yuwen Xuzhong said too shockingly, if Xiao Yan is really as he expected. Then it's not just a fortunate minister, it's just a reckless person! In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been such a person. If Xiao Yan really has this plan, he simply wants to become the public enemy of the whole world!

After a long time, Wu Min said sneeringly: "Shutong Shutong, won't it be like this?" ”

After Yuwen said it, he also felt regretful. I just have a faint feeling, and today I suddenly got too deep, and it was all some vague speculation, why did I say it all without holding back? I want to cover it up right now. At this moment, Geng Nanzhong suddenly spoke next to him, and his tone was fierce: "If it is really as Shutong expected, it is even better!" If he wants to deal with the financial affairs of the forbidden army again, he will let the forbidden army have an accident! Even if the official family can no longer protect this ill-intentioned person for millions of Guan A blockage, King Jia is friendly with such a non-subordinate person, and he can only study behind closed doors! At this moment, the students are looking forward to coming from the south, and they are really so ignorant of advancing and retreating! ”

Geng Nanzhong said it harshly, and Yuwen Xuzhong couldn't refute anything. After all, this is a provocation. And Xiao Yan really continues to attack the forbidden army, which is indeed the best opportunity for their party, and there will inevitably be something wrong in it. Even Yuwen Xuzhong must also be running in it. But I don't know why, he always has a faint sense of weakness. He had already calculated Xiao Yan more than once, but every time he calculated, he always felt that there was no omission, but he always asked Xiao Yan to come up with means that were incompatible with this big Song Ge to resolve it, and go further, no one could really do anything about this Xiao Xianmo. If it was really as he expected, Xiao Yan really became the public enemy of the world, would he be able to crush him in the air? If there is such a small chance that Xiao Yan can still succeed, what will this Great Song Dynasty become?

Thinking of this, Yuwen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In the first place, Wu Min was also shocked into a cold sweat by this sudden topic, if Xiao Yan is really reckless, then he suppressed the Shenwu Changsheng Army in Hedong, I don't know how heavy this burden is! When he arrived in Hedong, he was self-exiled for a period of time, to see if there was any chance for the DPRK to return to Bianliang in the future, and he was expecting to entertain himself in Hedong poetry and wine, and not do anything. As for the Shenwu Victorious Army, in his opinion, the imperial court has almost nothing to give this army horse, and no matter how the Shenwu Victorious Army can fight, how can it be maintained? There is only one way to weaken and disintegrate. But he didn't expect that before leaving, this Yuwen bachelor would come to scare him!

This topic can't continue to be talked about, Wu Min raised his glass and laughed dryly: "Although the state affairs are worried, the country is deeply benevolent and benevolent, and the fortune is endless. Today's trip is imminent, so it's better to drink in a cup! If he can return to the emperor one day, presumably the weather in the DPRK and China will be renewed, and the second brother of Daoxi Shutong will already have a heavy responsibility. At this moment, a little turmoil, why worry about it? The second brother raised the gold bottle in his hand and conspired with a certain to get drunk! ”

Geng Nanzhong and Yuwen Xuzhong also knew that this topic could no longer be talked about, so they both cleaned up their moods, smiled and raised their glasses: "May Brother Neyan go smoothly here, be strong in Qingji on Hedong Road, and return to the capital on the day, the current period is not far away!" ”
