Yu Chenglong entered Beijing, but the minister still did not resign.

Many people couldn't sit still, including Zhai Zhe, the emperor of the Great Zhou.

Everyone is an old man in the court, and if they know the rules of the game here, many things will be less troublesome by the end. If you really want to tear your face, not only is it boring, but it will also make things very dangerous.

On August 12, Zong Xiangguang sprinkled an invitation to hold the third son of the second son full moon wine. The people who can be called in the capital have all received invitations, and the most eye-catching people are Fengqin, the chief of Wutang Mountain, Xu Yiyang, the governor of the Chinese army, and Ji Hong, who has been the commander of Jinyi for 15 years.

Civilian officials such as Yizhi and Yu Chenglong also received invitations.

The third son of the second son, the full moon, is really not a reason to do it.

Many people regard this as the last swan song of the prime minister, and it is time for everything to end. From the perspective of a discerning person, the prime minister who has been in office for fifteen years can resign peacefully and go into hiding.

After noon, the Prime Minister's Mansion was constantly visited, and the six Shangshu of Shangshu Province arrived first. They are all Zong Mao's most loyal subordinates, and the prime minister is about to resign, so it is inevitable that he will be panicked.

The prime minister has the care of the emperor and can retire peacefully, but they can't. Yu Jackie Chan came, and each of them was not clean on their buttocks, and everyone held a pool of blood in their palms.

Fang Yizhi came with a folding fan, he came to see off Zong Mao, and also saw him off.

When Qin came, he wore a strong suit and robes to send off his friends for many years.

Ji Hong came, his half sleeves fluttered, and the sect was the same as him and his own brother.

But not everyone accepted Zong Mao's invitation, some of the most flattering protégés did not come, and there were also civil officials who had been close to Zong Mao for many years did not come.

In the past, there was only one heavyweight left - Yu Jackie Chan.

It hasn't come yet, and most likely it won't. After all, Yu Jackie Chan has a special status, and the emperor transferred him back to the capital in order to force the prime minister to resign.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has set up a total of 12 tables for banquets, and each of those who can sit here is a well-known figure.

The beautiful maid served the food like a butterfly wearing flowers, and the handsome young man carried a wine jug and wandered around the banquet.

Zong Mao picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "Trusted by Your Majesty, I have been a prime minister for fifteen years, and I have done some things, and I have offended many people. There is no banquet in the world, today my young grandson is full moon, and the people who come to drink this wine are for those who can afford me, even if I entertain you, and you can be regarded as practicing for me. ”

He raised his neck and took a sip of it, and laughed: "If you are not drunk today, you are not allowed to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

At the moment, the butler followed him with a wine jug and toasted in turn, each time drinking in one gulp.

The ministers of the court and the central government all knew that the Zongxiang was not good at drinking, and he would definitely get drunk after this circle. Sure enough, he couldn't do it halfway through drinking, his face was pale, his steps were crooked, and he was helped by the housekeeper to retreat to the inner house.

When the master leaves, Zongmao's eldest son and second son will come to accompany the guests to drink. However, the courtiers and old friends are all coming for the prime minister, and Zong Mao is not there, so everyone feels that it is less interesting.

Ji Hong and Xu Yiyang sat at a table, and the two talked about the old things in Huguang ten years ago.

Ji Hong asked, "Do you remember that Qinglou woman?" ”

"Which one?"

"It's the one you first came to Changsha and was treated as a white felt thief in the green building."

Xu Yiyang patted his head and couldn't remember.

Ji Hong gently tapped the wine bottle with chopsticks, his face was red, he thought about it for a long time, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Qiuyue Building"

"Li Qiuyue" Xu Yiyang suddenly realized. The woman with whom he had a skin-to-skin relationship.

"Do you remember?" Ji Hong smiled, "After you brought down Liu Chengyin, the owner of the house raised him in Qiuyue Mansion and never touched her again." "He is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so he knows the secrets of many courtiers.

More than ten years ago, Xu Yiyang slowly had some impressions when he looked back.

"Guan Pingyuan" he remembered. Guan Pingyuan is now a businessman who can be counted as the number one in the Great Zhou. At the beginning, he was in Qiuyue Tower and Li Qiuyue for a while, knowing that Li Qiuyue loved the plains deeply, and would rather sacrifice his life to help himself in order to save her Lang Jun.

"After Guan Pingyuan came out, with the light of General Xu, the business quickly became even hotter than before, but it made Li Qiuyue bitter. Her Lang Jun will never come back

Xu Yiyang drank a glass of wine silently, he understood the truth.

Guan Pingyuan regarded him as a benefactor, and the woman he touched, how dare Guan Pingyuan touch it again. They didn't know that Li Qiuyue was just a passer-by in Xu Yiyang's life.

Ji Hong said: "The housekeeper is now rich and wide, and Li Qiuyue is still being raised in Qiuyue Tower, I heard that she wants to take refuge in Buddhism, and she is not allowed to manage Pingyuan." ”

Xu Yiyang beckoned the attendant to fill his cup and said, "Since you know so clearly, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

"I'm the leader of the brocade guards of the Great Zhou, such trivial things, I don't even have the time to sleep."

Xu Yiyang raised his neck and swallowed another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I boasted of being romantic, but I didn't expect to harm others in my life." In his memory, Li Qiuyue is a woman with both color and art.

He hugged the guards beside him and said, "Where is the hut?" "Get up and walk staggeringly.

Ji Hong thought about how he could tell Xu Yiyang about such a blockage. There are too many joys and sorrows, grievances and hatreds in the world, and as a person who has mastered too many secrets, there are many more troubles than ordinary people.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Yiyang did not come back. The surrounding civil officials are all people that Ji Hong is not familiar with, and his identity as the commander of the brocade clothes and guards is also terrifying.

When he was bored, he began to pour himself drinks, and his face was flushed, and when he was young, he had the name of "Red Horse" in the grassland, and although his face was red, he was not drunk with a thousand cups.

Even drank a ** cup, Xu Yiyang hadn't come back yet, Ji Hong felt that something was wrong, beckoned to find a waiter who poured wine, and asked, "Xu Dudu went to the thatched house, why did it take so long?" He was worried that Xu Yiyang would get drunk and fall into the pit.

"Let's take a look," the attendant agreed, putting down the flask and going in the direction of the hut to find someone.

At this moment, a young man in brocade came over and saluted, "Master Ji, master, please come over and speak." ”

Ji Hong saw that no one came out in the direction of the thatched house, and he thought that Xu Yiyang might have gone somewhere to rest. In this prime minister's mansion, there should be no accidents.

"Is the prime minister drunk?" He stood up.

The young attendant said, "The old man woke up drunk, and he kept calling the adult's name." ”

"Okay, take me there."

Ji Hong walked into the inner courtyard with his attendants and bypassed the three rows of rooms. The Prime Minister's Mansion is very large, and there is a hall house that is transparent from north to south directly opposite, and Zong Mao is leaning on a soft couch, looking confused.

The attendant walked closer and said, "Master Ji has arrived."

"Go down, go down" Zong Mao waved his hand again and again, his eyes were drunk, he beckoned Ji Hong to approach, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "You sit down." ”

"Sangkook is drunk."

"If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk," Zong Mao let out a long sigh of wine and asked, "If you were me, what should I do?" ”

"I have asked Your Majesty to resign many times, but Your Majesty will not allow it."

Zong Mao said vaguely: "It's really worth it for you to give up an arm and gain His Majesty's trust for life."

This is an insult Ji Hong's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Is Zong Xiang scolding me?" ”

"No, no," Zong Mao shouted, "but I have worked hard for His Majesty for decades, and after all, I still can't escape the end of the bird's bow."

Ji Hong stood up and said coldly: "Zong Mao, you drank too much"

"Isn't it" Zong Mao sat up straight, spread his hands, and asked, "What did I do that I didn't do for Your Majesty?" ”

"Are you crazy?" Ji Hong stretched out his left hand and rubbed Zong Mao's face vigorously, "Do you want to die?" ”

"Do you think I can live if I quit the phase?" Zong Mao stood up suddenly, "Your Majesty will let me go after a hundred years, will the crown prince let me?" Will you tolerate my clan? ”

"Mrs. Zong used to be the maid of the Fan family, and you and I both have a relationship with the Fan family, so you are too worried."

"Am I overthinking?" Zong Mao sneered: "The prince has shown a good impression of the Fan family over the years, the prince likes people like Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi, and the prince can't wait to pick my skin." ”

Ji Hong slapped Zong Mao in the face and shouted, "You should drink a bowl of sobering soup." ”

He beckoned outside: "Someone, someone"

No one agreed.

Zong Mao said: "Don't shout, no one is coming here, I invited you to come to ask about something." It was you who reported to Your Majesty about the Jiangnan Workers' Slaves, and then Your Majesty hurriedly returned to the capital from Monan, yes or no? ”

Ji Hong looked at him coldly, and after a long time, he said, "Yes"

Zong Mao suddenly stretched out his hands to grab Ji Hong's collar, and shouted: "Why, why are you, Jin Yiwei doesn't care about domestic affairs, why do you want to harm me in many things."

Ji Hong separated him with one arm and said, "Kunlun slaves were transported back from overseas, and Kunlun slaves and worker slaves are together. ”

He only had one arm, but Zong Mao couldn't get close to him with both hands.

"You are indeed my good brother," Zong Mao tugged at his empty sleeve, "Why do you want to harm me." ”

"It's not that I'm harming you, it's that I can't tolerate Da Zhou Lang Lang Qiankun, and there are so many ghosts and ghosts."

Zong Mao sneered: "The court, this is the court, everyone has a purpose, can you be sober?" ”

"I can't do things with a clear conscience, even if you and I are like brothers."

"Really?" Pulled Ji Hong to the door, pointed to the moon in the sky, and asked, "You said, you haven't helped Your Majesty do anything that violates your conscience." ”

Ji Hong threw off his sleeves and said, "I didn't"

"You don't have it, it's because there is Zhao Yucheng and me" Zong Mao laughed, "You really don't have it?" How did Huang Binqing's leg break in eastern Zhejiang? How did Xu Du die? ”

Huang Binqing's leg was broken by Meng Kang. Xu Du was first deceived and cooperated by Zhai Zhe, and Ji Hong was ordered to secretly report to the court, leading the Baitou Army to revolt, and was later suppressed by Zhai Zhe, taking the opportunity to expand his influence in eastern Zhejiang.

Who hasn't killed someone who shouldn't have been killed in the process of achieving hegemony?

Ji Hong said silently: "What do you think about when you say this?" ”

"You admit it, hahaha" Zong Mao beckoned into the shadows in the distance.

Xu Yiyang came out of it.

"Hear me, your father also died at the hands of His Majesty."

"You're really crazy" Ji Hong grabbed Zong Mao's throat with one hand as fast as a flashpoint, "It's just a phase, what do you want?" ”

Zong Mao grabbed his hands in the air and finally broke free of Ji Hong's hands.

Ji Hong did not pursue, because Xu Yiyang was already very close.

"Xu Dudu, what are you waiting for?" Zong Mao coughed violently, "Are you going to watch him kill me?" ”
