Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 10 The Great Wedding (10)

In Bianliang City, it is already crowded, and I don't know how many people are pouring into the streets, just waiting to see this lively festival.

From Nanxun Gate to the front of the Royal Street, on both sides of the streets, all the high places, are full of human heads poking out. The windows on both sides of the street residents were sold for a large price of pure copper.

The business of the restaurant on the street is even more hot, with gentlemen in green shirts and girls with red sleeves, looking out of the window. There was even a shallow chanting and low singing, which sounded in Bianliang City for the first time in the morning.

Such a scene can really be called a sea of people, rubbing shoulders, shouting into clouds, sweating and raining.

Emperor Shang of the Great Song Dynasty, for a hundred years, there have been hundreds, plus what county monarchs and county lords, it is impossible to count. But the Great Song Heavenly Family chooses a son-in-law, and has never chosen from a high-ranking family, even if there is an occasional exception, it is also a child who has no development in the career of everyone, and it is impossible to be in charge of the children sent by the center. But for the captain of the horse, his life is nothing more than to serve the daughter of the heavenly family, and from then on he will travel with poetry and wine, and live this life. In the Great Song Dynasty, the captains of the horses never made a single wave.

Moreover, Emperor Ji of the Great Song Dynasty, although in general is not as debauched as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and even less as the princess of the Tang Dynasty who can meddle in the government affairs. But compared to Emperor Ji, the Captain of the Horse is still on the weak side. A little Wang Duwei is a little romantic, and treats his own emperor's daughter-in-law with an attitude of not cooperating and not coming to the door. were all disliked and despised by the people in the court, and even more hated by the concubine and other figures in the forbidden middle, Zhao Ji was very affected by his dealings with him back then.

All in all, Emperor Ji of the Great Song Dynasty is not a good errand for the captain of the horses. As for those copper-smelling merchants, marrying a bunch of county lords and the like is just to seek the status of a sanitation officer. Since the restructuring of the British Temple sanitation officer. The lord of the county in the capital. There is even a tendency to get married.

For the nostrils have always been upside down. The people of Bianliang who think they are the people of the imperial capital of Shenjing. Maybe the prince's wedding and other excitement can still raise some interest, there is still an emperor, if anyone will talk about this news, it is necessary to make a disgraced face in the wine shop tile.

But how can this ceremony of the emperor's marriage be compared with the ordinary?

Men and women, needless to say, the identities of the two families. Bianliang people, up to the white-haired old man. Down to the drooping teenager, everyone is familiar with it.

The most important thing is that now Bianliang doesn't know when a rumor began to circulate, or it was fresh and hot.

In the direction of Hedong Road, there are Jurchen Tatars harassing. King Yan wants to borrow the identity of Emperor Shang. He will take the status of a son-in-law and go out of Hedong with Taishang. It seems that Taishang will be placed in the east of the river. At the same time, the area around Hedong was operated into a Yanwang vassal state, and the trend of eyeing Bianliang was maintained. If Bianliang does not move the vassal kingdom of King Yan, then King Yan is happy to be at peace with the court. If Bianliang has the potential to cut the domain, then King Yan will have to support Taishang to restore the throne, and then kill back to the capital!

A big wedding involves the political dispute between two generations of kings. This excitement has great value in spreading onlookers.

For Yan Wang Xiao Yan, most of the people in Bianliang are in a complicated mood.

For the vast majority of small people. How is Xiao Yan not a legend? Who doesn't want to be white in the morning, and the twilight is in the hall. Sitting on the first beauty of the heavenly family, all the way to Hedong, all for their own vassal country?

Although everyone was taken aback at the time of the palace change, it was really unfortunate that the unlucky ones were the prince Qingliu and his party, as well as the family of the forbidden army generals in the capital. The rest of the people were not harassed. Even those former forbidden army sergeants who were dismissed had nothing to grudge against Xiao Yan. Should work or work, should be a craftsman or a craftsman, it turns out that the salary is not much in the first place, and the rice grain should be stripped of the method of sitting on the rice. Now I just get paid, which is more generous than the nominally very rich salary and rice grain before. And after being dismissed according to the name, King Yan was generous, and each person really received the severance pay of five pure copper.

In this way, King Yan, Rao has to give a thumbs up and boast that he is a hero. The so-called hero is to be able to achieve miraculous feats in the eyes of others!

However, the people of Bianliang have been under the rule of the official family surnamed Zhao for a long time, and they have been peaceful for more than 100 years. For Xiao Yan to grasp the auspicious three treasures of the Zhao family with one hand, and he is still a little unbearable. is even more worried about the usurpation of power that Xiao Yan will inevitably set off in the future. When the minister reached his point, where was there room for retreat? When the time comes, I'm afraid that Bianliang will not be turned into a slaughterhouse! The palace change on February 2, one time is enough, and a few more times, how can everyone live?

Therefore, when the gossip news that Xiao Yan was going to go out of Hedong in the Taishang came out, the people of Bianliang didn't care whether the Jurchen Tartars who were the background of the rumors were really killed. As long as King Yan was willing to come out and join the domain, everyone was relieved from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Yan has the merits of Pingyan, and now he is in charge of a strong army. If you want to send this great god, you can also take Hedong as a vassal country. King Yan and Taishang were there. Whatever they do, it is that King Yan's hands are itchy, and if he wants to hit the Jurchen Tartar or any Tartar, it is just what King Yan wants. It's really insufficient, even if the Yan land that was snatched back from the Liao people was transferred to King Yan?

As long as Bianliang is still singing and dancing, as long as the ball market by the Jinshui Bridge is still boiling every event, as long as the boats and shadows on the Bianhe River shuttle back and forth, and continuously send the material wealth of the entire Great Song Dynasty to the capital, as long as the news of those Tartar Hu people is still far away, it is just a matter of talking.

King Yan, it's better to leave Bianliang.

Since King Yan is going, such a rare heroic figure in a hundred years is to take a look at it and take a look less, not to mention that there is also the most beautiful emperor of the heavenly family? The people of Bianliang poured into the streets without saying anything. For this grand ceremony, it has added a hundred times more excitement!

The minds of the people, because of the different information they have, naturally have a lot of wishful thinking. But those who are in the game think more deeply and see more clearly. Knowing that this big wedding is about to set off a storm in the future. And this is also the last chance to defeat Xiao Yan, who is reckless in the world!

On the top of a restaurant, only here, the bay window sticking out of the eaves is half-hidden, and occasionally a person appears in front of the window, and disappears after a hurried glance. It's as if I don't want to see this big buzz.

Such a scene made the surrounding onlookers feel sorry for them. This restaurant is one of the 72 main stores in Bianliang, and the price of the private room is quite high when it is drunk. Today, it doesn't take more than ten or twenty times to sit by the window. How can such a person be such a waste? If it weren't for the fact that a group of idlers couldn't move because of the crowds, they would have to go upstairs to take a look. If there is no foundation. Such a casual person. If you don't write a few articles, it makes people feel really uncomfortable.

In the private room, there sat a group of figures who looked like scholars, all of whom were dressed in Taoist robes, without crowns, but with ebony hairpins. The big sleeves are fluttering, showing the sparse state. It seems that they are tired of swimming in the sea, and since then they have been in bamboo horse robes. Idle people who are attached to the mountains and rivers.

The seat at the table was Geng Nanzhong, who did not lose his stubbornness at any time. As soon as I saw this old master Geng here, I didn't ask that he was a freshly baked loser in Bianliang City. The Qingliu party members who surrounded the abolished prince in front of him.

These characters, although Xiao Yan gently let them go. Cai Jing is also quite attentive, and he gives the money on time every month. Life is worry-free, life is also worry-free, it stands to reason that you should live with your tail between your legs, and then talk about a stable life after a while.

But for the generations of scholars and doctors, it is not much better to cut off the future of their careers than to kill them. The night of the palace change was only decided, and a group of people had to drill to find a crack. I want to find another backer. However, although Cai Jing gave the money, he didn't mean to use them again.

A group of people are running among the beams. Contacted everywhere, and vaguely boasted of being a lonely minister. But this expression of Xiàn's temperament can't help anything. Under Cai Jingmen, he was bustling and staring at so many vacated positions in the court, busy playing the drama of the promotion chart. Xiao Yan sat on the side of the strong army, and did not show any flaws for a while, for the fear of those Qiu Ba under Xiao Yan's command, few people in the court dared to approach them. Even Zhao Kai, who was extremely poor and bored, never thought of recruiting them, these clear streams back then forced Zhao Kai to almost the end! And even if Zhao Kai and them have hearts, Jin Zhangxian is in the middle with the imperial front class, how can they have any chance?

The government is becoming more and more desperate, and for the scholars and scholars, at this time, according to the convention, it is a state of pretending to be crazy and retreating. A group of people put on Taoist robes and shoes, and walked in the Bianliang wine shop every day, and they couldn't get on the boat when the Son of Heaven called them, and Ziyunchen was the fan of the wine fairy. was filled with yellow soup, and yin and yang complained to the public in various ways. If you drink a few more corners, you will simply go crazy with alcohol, and whoever comes to persuade you will scold the other party for being a layman.

After making such a fuss for a while, even the little guys in Vasher knew that these people were completely disgusted. Fewer and fewer people are seeing them.

These people made a fuss for a while, some of them felt bored, and some of them were still afraid of Xiao Yan's move, so they gradually dispersed a lot. But there is still a group of core figures led by Geng Nanzhong, who are still guarding Bianliang, waiting for the opportunity to turn the situation around.

I don't know if it's a good result if I stick to it, or if Old Master Geng finally got a shit luck. The waiting time was not very long, and it was reported that the Jurchens had entered Kou Hedong, and the foundation of Xiao Yan's strong army was shaking, and Xiao Yan couldn't wait to finish the wedding process, and wanted to drive out of the capital to fight in Hedong!

If Xiao Yan really holds the tens of thousands of military horses that can continue to expand, and sits in Bianliang, and there are Hedong military horses to support him outside, Geng Nanzhong and they will scold him so badly that they hate Xiao Yan in their hearts, and there is really no way to bring down Xiao Thief, and wait for the day when they return to the court and raise their eyebrows.

But the thief didn't know why, he didn't stay in Bianliang, but he wanted to go to Hedong in person!

According to Geng Nanzhong's thoughts, since he can hold the center, he can't let go even if he dies, infiltrates day and night, cultivates power, and snatches the power of the center little by little. This is what the standard ministers do, not to mention that Xiao Yan is more than ordinary ministers, and is almost backed by thousands of strong troops in his private army! In the long run, it is not known that Zhao Kai is the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Jurchen Tartars, even if they invade Hedong, what's the big deal? These Tartars naturally retreated after a plunder. Where is it more important than such an important position of power as Bianliang. It's just that this thief thinks he is invincible, and the sky has taken his lead, so that he is about to leave Bianliang!

Because of this, even if today is the wedding of the most hated thief, everyone still has a smile on their faces. As the noise outside became more and more noisy, the discussion inside became more and more hot.

“………… The sky is tired of chaos, this thief, and finally lost his sanity, this Bianliang, how can it be lightly separated? ”

“………… This Xiao thief still has a layout, isn't it that after Emperor Shang, he will embrace Taishang and the prince to go out of Hedong together? Once Bianliang changes, he can still support the Taishang or the prince to reset the throne, and then kill it back. I'm afraid there will be a scramble at that time, and this thief is not a curable person............"

“………… Even though the thief showed his flaws. It's not easy to get along with. This hand arrangement. It makes my generation a little embarrassed. Since Xiao Thief left Bianliang, there is a three kings in the forbidden, Cai Xiang still doesn't hold the three kings tightly, and use this as a banner to connect with the Western Army and other strong towns to consolidate the throne? There is no good relationship between our generation and the three kings. I'm afraid that the road to the revival of our generation will still be full of obstacles............"

“………… Naturally, my generation still cares about the prince. Pray for it day and night. However, if Xiao Thief really supports the prince in Hedong, how should my generation deal with himself? ”

“………… Even if the thief supports it in Hedong, he will only support Taishang! The prince is still being humiliated and supervised by Xiao thieves, how can there be a time to recover? Since my generation is the prince's minister, how can I go to serve the thief again? You have to sit in Bianliang, accumulate strength, and finally eradicate the thief, so that the prince's status can be restored! ”

“………… Big brother is right! How can our generation go to the remote place east of the river to worship the thief? When in Bianliang do your best to operate, waiting for the coming day! In the student's opinion. If so, the husband embraces each other and wears the three kings. Then my generation might as well be a snake and walk around in front of the three kings. The old man of the Three Kings Hidden Mansion. The stars have long since dispersed. How can you not need wings to secure your position? If our generation pretends to vote for it, the three kings may not have no opportunity to reuse, and our generation is convenient to act by. Although he tends to serve the lord in the Yanfu Palace, his heart still carries the prince. If the dragon lurks in the abyss. Just wait for Xiao Thief to be defeated, welcome back the prince, and reinvigorate the throne! ”

“………… Brother, this is really the words of the old Cheng Mouguo, and the students are convinced! But I don't know what way my brother has to make my generation temporarily hide his original ambition and serve himself in front of the three kings? ”

The crowd was foaming, just talking about everyone's way out after this incident. The usual sparse and unrestrained appearance, I don't know where it was thrown.

Geng Nanzhong was upset when he heard this, and suddenly patted the cases in front of him: "Stop!" ”

The crowd waited, and suddenly fell silent and looked at Geng Nanzhong. To say that Geng Nanzhong is also the person who has gone to the throne now, he is no longer the prince who believes in the throne, and he will stabilize the status of an important minister of the Eastern Mansion in the future. But for many years, the power has not completely dissipated. And Cai Jing was also doubly polite to Geng Nanzhong. For Cai Jing, among these Qingliu old parties, cultivating a figure who can still lead and prestige in the palm of his hand is naturally better than them being torn apart and running around. You must know that these Qingliu old parties do not expect to succeed, but they are experts in bad things. Therefore, Cai Jingcai's various courtesies to Geng Nanzhong made him still in the core position of these losers.

Geng Nanzhong's face turned pale and looked at the people present.

He's just stubborn, but he's not stupid. How do you not know that this generation is actually of great use? It is nothing more than that this group of people should rise to the momentum of the old party. If this momentum is gone, the party will really come to a dead end.

How to take advantage of this opportunity, Geng Nanzhong himself didn't quite understand, and he didn't discuss it with these people. But last night, I lowered my body and went to worship Yuwenxu, who was about to leave Beijing.

Yuwen promised Li Gang to work for him, after the news of the military situation in Hedong. Zong Ze ran to the Western Army, and he was going to secretly go out of Beijing to contact the Yongning Army. Geng Nanzhong came to worship at night, Yuwen Xuzhong didn't want to say anything, but Geng Nanzhong really put down his body this time, and actually bowed to the ground, if Yuwen Xuzhong didn't teach him, he wouldn't get up again!

At this point, Yuwen Xuzhong and Geng Nanzhong's friendship of more than ten years can no longer be shirked. can only put on his liver and guts, and finally give advice to Geng Nanzhong once. As for Yuwen Xuzhong himself, he went to Hebei and did not plan to enter Bianliang again. Since then, he has been a white-body staff member in the Yongning Army. Ma Kuo Wang Yu also has a friendship with him, and he must be able to get by.

It's Geng Nanzhong, how can they not understand that this is their last chance? In the past two days, my heart has been heavy. But the people in the same party in front of him actually talked about whether they were serving the pseudo-master of the three kings Zhao Kai. He really couldn't bear it anymore.

As soon as they drank it, everyone held their breath. Geng Nanzhong said coldly: "Do you still think that my generation still has time to calmly drill the camp?" Since Xiao Thief dared to leave Beijing, he was ready to break the kettle when necessary. If our generation doesn't make preparations early, will we wait for the thief to return to the teacher in the future and wash Bianliang with blood? Xiao thief let my generation go once, but there may not be a second time! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Dare to ask Xigong, what should I do?" But when there is a teaching, my generation does not obey it. ”

If it was said that in the past, everyone dared to be polite to Geng Nanzhong on the surface, and secretly regarded this stubborn old master as a false fart. Now it is impossible to do it, Cai Jing and the subsidies of this class of people who have lost power are all only sent to Geng Nanzhong's mansion. How to distribute. Dedicated by Geng Nanzhong. It is not easy to live in Bianliang. The financial power is in the hands of Geng Nanzhong. Even if Geng Nanzhong went to the throne, everyone was more respectful to him than before.

Geng Nanzhong summoned everyone to come here today just to assign tasks. Is it really for Xiao Yan's wedding ceremony? You're not welcome at the moment, fold your fingers and order down.

“………… Xiao thief took the opportunity for himself, my generation must not miss this opportunity! When connected with Mr. Liang Xi, it created momentum in Bianliang. One is the three kings, and they must not go out of Beijing for Xiao and thieves! In the government and the opposition, when the tide is set off. It is only said that if the three kings are Xiao thieves, they will go out of the capital. If you don't get to Chen Qiaoyi, Xiao Thief will kill the king and stand on his own! ”

Yuwen can see it clearly, if Xiao Yan only supports Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan out of Beijing, then at most he can only say that he has the ability to resist Bianliang if something happens. Victory or defeat is yet to be known. But if Zhao Kai is also taken out of Beijing, the two generations of kings will be in the palm of their hands. It can be said that it is easy to advance and retreat, even if it is a strong town outside, it has to take care of the righteousness in Xiao Yan's hands, at that time, it is the real trouble. And Yuwen Xuzhong also believes that Xiao Yan must have the arrangement to coerce Zhao Kai out of the capital!

There was an uproar. In the wine shop, the yin and yang are complaining, that is, they come as soon as they open their mouths, and such a trend is rolled up in the government and the opposition. That's a naked tearing face. Aren't you afraid that Xiao Yan will kill and suppress this trend?

Looking at everyone's pale faces and trembling lips. Geng Nanzhong sneered: "What are you afraid of? If Xiao Thief's command is still the Hedong Border Army, then it is still necessary to be afraid that Xiao Thief will die and break the net. Now under the command of Xiao Thief, most of them are Bianliang indigenous children! The people in Bianliang, who wants to see the regeneration of chaos, Xiao thief's bloody palace ban? As long as the tide rolls up, and the three kings sit firmly, they don't move. If the thief acts as a bully, the men and horses under his command will naturally be centrifuged! And how many of the indigenous children of Bianliang are willing to go north with the Xiao thief on an expedition, bury their bones in poverty, and never return to the capital for life? There are people in the DPRK who promise those Bianliang indigenous army officers and soldiers, and when the time comes, Xiao Thief will act aggressively, I am afraid that it will be a clamor in the army! You must know that the current Xiao thieves are really used to suppress the henchmen of the whole army, but there are only two or three thousand! ”

At this point, Yuwen Xuzhong can see it very accurately. And Cai Jing and others, how can they not see it? Now Xiao Yan's biggest weakness is that this Bianliang Shenwu Winning Army is not enough. Although he relied on his financial power to kill the forbidden army in the capital, he is now pulling out such a military horse. But most of the soldiers and soldiers are still from Bianliang, even the Gongwei Forbidden Army is no exception. The real dead heart is used by Xiao Yan, but there are only two or three thousand.

If it is a peaceful residence in Bianliang, it is used to suppress the court. This army can only obey Xiao Yan's orders. But this army must be pulled to the east side of the river, and from then on it will be difficult to return to the capital. There's so much room to go. The army is controlled by layers of backbones, and Xiao Yan's backbone in Bianliang is too few. Now the Hedong Shenwu Changsheng Army is pinned down again. However, Xiao Yan did not shrink the Hedong Army back, but wanted to recruit it himself, exposing this biggest weakness!

Running and contacting like this, rolling up the tide. Hold Xiao Yan's hands and feet. If Xiao Yan wanted to transfer the border army into Beijing, the contacts and others who had to be sent out had already brought back the strong towns such as the Yongning Army of the Western Army. And Xiao Yan went on a killing spree to wash Bianliang, but the possibility is very low. Unless he doesn't want to live anymore. And I'm really not afraid of where to go, most of the Bianliang Shenwu Changsheng army will turn against him Xiao Yan first?

If Xiao Yan broke his wrist, he hugged the Taishang and the prince and left Beijing in a hurry with a few thousands of henchmen. Isn't such a lost dog light and catchable?

Xiao Yan's strong point is a strong army arranged in Hedong. It is closer to Bianliang than the Western Army, and much stronger than the Yongning Army. Condescendingly, looking down on the two wings of Shaanxi and Hebei, you can firmly contain the strong towns in the north. Xiao Yan can pull up the new army and stir up the wind and rain in Bianliang, and he doesn't dare to do anything for a while.

But his strong point was suddenly restrained by the Jurchen Tartars, and Xiao Yan didn't want to shrink. Naturally, there are flaws all over the body!

That's why Cai Jing and other treacherous and cunning people suddenly acted decisively and launched inside and outside. In one fell swoop, Xiao Yan was forced to be caught off guard, and the arrangements for Xiao Yan's urgency everywhere finally overturned this powerful minister who had never been seen in the Great Song Dynasty!

The so-called cunning is not only perfunctory. When you really see an opportunity, you don't hesitate!

Geng Nanzhong patiently explained with a group of people, and in the end, these worried people reluctantly accepted. Each received his order and prepared to roll up the tide of the government and the opposition. The old party has lost power in the opposition for a long time, and the political dispute between the DPRK and China is almost hot, but it has always been a good job to stir up public opinion, otherwise it would not have survived to this day, and even ousted Cai Jing from power several times.

Seeing their fearful looks, Geng Nanzhong said a few words of encouragement, but he only sneered in his heart.

With such a big plan, this group of people will not be of great use. What really helps is the strong town that also sees opportunities outside. It's the husband and the party, or even the friends of Mr. Liang Xi, who has the hope of the world!

The crown prince was reinstated, although Geng Nanzhong was looking forward to it. But it's not the most important thing in my heart. The most important thing is to do everything possible to eliminate this heroic Xiao Yan who has shaken the ruling system of the Great Song Dynasty and will inevitably act against the doctors of the Great Song Dynasty in the next day! Even if you run for your husband, even if the last reigning person is still not the prince, you have nothing to hate!

The biggest enemy is just Xiao Yan!

Suddenly, there was a loud cheer outside, as if the whole building was about to be overturned. Geng Nanzhong got up slowly, walked to the window, and looked at the railing.

From the south, the pennant is unfurled, and the guard of honor is arranged. Surrounded by the crowds of people on both sides of the road, hundreds of brocade-clothed tigers were slowly approaching.

The white horse is like a dragon, the crimson killing robe, the jade belt is tightly tied, the eyebrows are straight, and the temples are slightly frosty. Sit on a horse straight as a sword.

It was Xiao Yan.

Countless Da Song ladies sprinkled countless petals from the upstairs on both sides, fluttering, as if there was a powder snow. The people on the street were drunk and cheering, and the waves were as high as the waves.

At this moment, Xiao Yan seems to be at the peak of his life.

On a different day, when this day is here, in this world, there are enemies, and his subordinates turn away. What did you think of you at that time, a thief?

This Great Song is the Great Song of our generation after all! (To be continued......)
