Cheng Wanli knew in his heart that Tong Guan, who was far away on the front line in Hedong, could not echo so quickly. It's just that waiting is undoubtedly a torment for him now. In just a few days, the threshold of this official's mansion has been broken by countless lobbyists, and Cheng Wanli feels that since he became an official, the pressure on him has never been so great as it is now.

Although the former Cheng Mansion was also a treasure in the minds of many middle and lower-level officials, it was still a little inadequate compared to the current scene of canopy gathering. Because at this time, those who dare to come to the door are all big people who hold their own identities and want to build a long way.

A kind and kind ministers came to the door one after another, and the officialdom culture dominated by Heguang Tongchen still looked moving at this time, and countless pillars of the country analyzed the benefits he would get after marrying a daughter for Cheng Wanli from various angles. It's just that no one can understand him as a father, and his heart is like a knife at this time.

Unlike other wealthy families who are full of children and grandchildren, he Cheng Wanli only has Wan'er, a precious daughter, and he is also the only living relative of his daughter in this life.

For so many years, he has raised his daughter with hard work, how could he watch his daughter go to Goryeo to suffer as the object of friendship? Thanks to these people pinching their noses and coaxing their eyes one by one, they are ashamed to say why they are going to raise the prestige of the country and enjoy Qingfu! Thinking about the twenty or thirty princesses under the knees of the official family, why did even the well-cultivated saints almost change color when they heard the request of the Koreans? If this is a good thing, he Cheng Wanli is willing to let it out!

just sent away batch after batch of people with various thoughts, just when Cheng Wanli estimated that Tong Guan should almost have a reply. His mansion finally welcomed two special guests.

The first one was the newly appointed Shangshu Zuocheng Zhao Lianghe, who was also a minister with an obvious "child" label. It's just that in front of Cheng Wanli, he has a kind of scruples about what he says. So, at this time, a young man with an arrogant face standing behind him perfectly complemented his defects.

This son's name is Tong Shi Min.

When Tong Guan was in charge of the Western Army, in order to win the heart of the general, he deliberately adopted the orphan of a certain general who died in the Western Army as his adopted son. Thus, this child ushered in the biggest turning point in his life. From a beggar to a beggar, he became the adopted son of a powerful minister.

At the moment, the combination of these two people is quite laborious at first glance. In terms of the distance of the relationship, Cheng Wanli is not as good as Tong Shi Min, and in terms of the weight of the court, Cheng Wanli is lighter than Zhao Liangsi. Therefore, when Cheng Wanli learned that these two joined forces to come to the door. My heart was half cold.

"My husband came to Tokyo for a few months, and the students didn't come to visit, and when my father found out about this, he severely scolded the students and told me to come and ask my husband to plead guilty!" Tong Shi Min played the family card as soon as he came to the door, but this demon king of the mixed world was not a good type, and his originally sincere words came out of his mouth. A little less pious, but a little more arrogant.

"The cardinal is serious! Shi Min. Come, sit! Cheng Wanli knew the temperament of this former "student", and he was completely spoiled, so he sent him away in a few words, and solemnly greeted Zhao Lianghe, and said: "Lord Zhao has taken up his new position, and the official has not yet come to congratulate him, and he doesn't want to ask Lord Zhao to go to the cold house first, which is really rude!" ”

"What did Cheng Shilang say? Why do we need so much courtesy! It's just that I'm going to make trouble for Cheng Shilang this time! Zhao Liangsi is quite open, and I don't know if it is the reason why he belongs to Tong Guan's disciples, he didn't hide his intentions as soon as he came up, and went straight to the point.

Cheng Wanli smiled bitterly, but did not answer, and invited Zhao Liangsi to sit down. Xiaohuan came up to pour tea for the guests, but Tong Shi Min was a little hairy, Xiao Huan exclaimed, the tea spilled on the ground, Zhao Liangsi saw this and hurriedly coughed a few times, but Tong Shi Min ignored it, obviously did not take Zhao Liangsi to heart, just laughed and said: "Huan girl, what about my Wan'er girl?" Why didn't her brother come out to see her! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Cheng Wanli slapped on the table, showing a rare look in his eyes, Tong Shi Min was startled, Mr. Hao was furious He was still the first time he saw it, although he didn't even put Zhao Liangsi in his eyes, but Cheng Wanli was different, everyone is also from Tongfu, if you turn around and let Tong Guan know, there will be hardships, and at the moment I couldn't help but laugh at myself and made a strange appearance, and waved his hand at Xiaohuan.

"I can't do a good job of pouring tea, so don't retreat quickly!" Cheng Wanli snorted coldly, and Xiaohuan retreated with tears in his eyes. Cheng Wanli arched his hand towards Zhao Liangsi and said: "The child doesn't know the etiquette, so Lord Zhao laughed!" ”

Zhao Liangsi returned the salute with a wry smile, and said that Cheng Wanli was a scholar, who knew that as soon as they met this time, they knocked on the side to hit such a hand, and even this demon king of the mixed world was suppressed, it seems that today's conversation is difficult!

The two gossiped a few words, and Cheng Wanli asked: "I heard that Lord Zhao is going to go to the sea to envoy Jin Guo in the near future, dare to ask when he will leave, and the official will be able to send it off when he arrives!" ”

Zhao Liangsi kept in mind the mission of this trip, and said when he heard the words: "The attaché is complete, the route is also set, go to Hebei, board the ship through Binzhou and enter the sea, but there is only one thing that is not solved, I can't get out of this Tokyo city!" ”

Reading bald in front of a monk, if Cheng Wanli didn't know the meaning of Zhao Liangsi's words, he would have been in vain for so many years. It's one thing to just guess the facts, it's another thing to accept the facts. Cheng Wanli tried to stabilize his ups and downs.

At this time, I saw Zhao Liangsi put down the teacup in his hand and spoke again: "Master Cheng, you and I will not talk nonsense. The cardinal attaches great importance to your letters, and you also know that he is difficult to leave on the Hedong front, so he specially ordered me and Shi Min to visit him in person. I hope to be able to talk to you about the marriage of Ling Ai! ”

Cheng Wanli looked at Zhao Liangsi in front of him, and he was a little quiet. is a character in the past 20 years of Huan Hai's career, and from the beginning of these two people's appearance, he has a very bad premonition.

In the past, in the face of countless lobbyists, he was able to stick to the bottom line, because he always had a life-saving straw in his heart, so that he did not feel suffocated and embarrassed.

But since these two people with special identities came to the door, this straw, which he regarded as his last hope, also failed to work, and quietly stood on the opposite side of him. No one can understand his despair at this time, this kind of abandonment by the backer who has always believed in him is enough to overturn a person's previous beliefs.

Zhao Liangsi paid close attention to the changes in the expression on Cheng Wanli's face, and when he saw that he was still so calm, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, he knew that this kind of thing was thankless. If you can't do it, don't say it, even if it is done, people won't be grateful to you, just when you are robbing while the fire is burning. It's a pity that this Cheng family is related to the future trend of diplomatic relations between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, and it also involves Tong Guan and his Zhao Lianghei's plan to destroy Liao.

"As the saying goes, men should get married, women should get married, so that love has reached the age of marriage, even if it is not far away to marry Goryeo, sooner or later it will be married. Although Goryeo is an overseas country, but after marrying its lord and being an upright king, the Goryeo people's recital is clearly written and clear, and it is clear that His Majesty will use the seal in the future! This kind of fate is not inferior to marrying a prince in Tokyo! Master Cheng, I don't need to paraphrase this truth. If you keep covering it like this, aren't you afraid that you will be cheaper in the future? ”

Hearing the word "Liangshan", Cheng Wanli was suddenly startled, and looked at Zhao Liangsi with an incredible face, at this time Tong Shi Min couldn't control his mouth, "Sir, even the students have heard about my sister and Wang Lun, the leader of the Liangshan thieves!" It's not that my father has suppressed it single-handedly, so that this news will not leak! It's also strange, my sister can't even look down on me, why is she so shallow, and she is so rebellious to a Liangshan thief...... Alas! ”

Tong Shi Min thought that he had caught Cheng Wanli's sore feet, but Cheng Wanli laughed instead of being angry: "Even if my Cheng family is not strict in family education, it is impossible to give birth to a daughter who is married to a bandit!" ”

"It's good that Cheng Gong can think like this, but I'm too worried! Cheng Gong, you also know the long-cherished wish of the cardinal minister, Cheng Gong can now become the cardinal minister as soon as he raises his hand, and it can be regarded as repaying the cardinal's promotion for so many years. When the time comes, Ling Ai will become the queen of Goryeo, if he is lucky and gives birth to a son in a year or two, the prime minister will make every effort to let him replace Wang Kai, and the future lord of a country in Goryeo will be the grandson of Kao! Zhao Liangsi was induced step by step, and by the way, even the title became an honorific title.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment, and Cheng Wanli is once again facing the dilemma of life. The desperate scholar on the streets of Tokyo back then, in the final analysis, was really thanks to Tong Guan for pulling him, otherwise he would not be where he is today. It's just that there are gains and losses in everything, and Cheng Wanli, who is famous today, was forced to take out his daughter to repay this personal debt.

"Zhao Gong, Shi Min, my thoughts are too chaotic today, I have to fight for my daughter's opinion on this matter, tomorrow, no, within three days, I will give you and the cardinal minister an explanation!" Cheng Wanli didn't wait for the two of them to say anything, he had already gotten up to see off the guests, Tong Shimin was still a little inexplicable, but Zhao Liangsi immediately got up and said:

Zhao said something from the heart, and the prime minister's move was really a bit ...... It is difficult to be strong, but everything should be based on national affairs, and I hope that Cheng Gong will think twice! ”

Tong Shi Min's mouth was wide open, this, this guy actually dared to criticize his father in front of him, this was definitely not discussed in advance! Okay, well, this guy has a kind! A trace of gloom passed in Tong Shimin's eyes, and Zhao Liangsi was written down by him.

Cheng Wanli's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, but he didn't expect that Zhao Liangsi, who came to the door to force his relatives, was also a character. In the end, Cheng Wanli sent the two out of the door, and after returning to the hall in a daze, he sat on the main seat in a daze, secretly in a daze.

Tong Guan is his only aid in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, if even Tong Guan turns against him, it seems that his current situation is worse than being embattled. Xiang Yu still has Jiangdong to go back, how can he have a way back when he is thousands of miles away?

The grandmother knew that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't come to disturb him. Cheng Wanli didn't know how long he sat there, only to see that the sky outside the hall was dark, and a slender figure turned out of the hall with a candle flame, Cheng Wanli didn't think about it, he knew that his daughter was coming, and suddenly a helpless feeling of failure lingered in his heart, only to hear this court official lament in front of his closest relatives:

"Girl, your father...... Betrayed! (To be continued......)
