Yang Houzhao looked up at Li Zhao with a little surprise in his eyes.

Li Zhao smiled: "What's wrong? Didn't Banzai always drink with them before? ”

The friendship since childhood, often not drunk and not home.

Yang Houzhao licked his lips and said, "What you said is a little greedy." ”

After sighing: "Then I can only drink this meal, I am sad when I am gone, I still accompany you, and play games at night?" ”

Li Zhao: "......"

She smiled and said, "Long live Lord, what did we just say?" Don't look at the past, memories will make people sad, regardless of the future, the future will make people anxious, live in the present, have wine tonight, drink happily tonight, don't think so much, besides, people are inconvenient. ”

After speaking, his face was red, his eyes flashed to the side, and he looked shy and embarrassed.

Her clear eyes contain this kind of understanding and tenderness, like swaddling clothes, which makes people feel very reassuring.

It's his woman, his wife, and he can spend his whole life with being human.

And she is so wise and generous.

Yang Houzhao was extremely moved, and involuntarily called softly: "Ah Zhao, is your little day here again?" ”

Li Zhao nodded.

Yang Houzhao pursed his lips, and then broke his sorrow into a smile, and called Xiaobao who was waiting at the door: "There is no need for dinner, tell them eight, the supper is set up in the Fengye Pavilion in the Tiger Courtyard, and I will give them a meal." ”

Xiaobao agreed and hurried down.

Yang Houzhao fell from the stone in his heart, lowered his head and drank porridge, looking at the young man's focused and serious appearance, Li Zhao's good-looking eyebrows were raised, this life of reliving is not uncomfortable without being a demon, tonight is the beginning of the chaos in her harem.

******

On a sunny evening after the rain, the breeze comes slowly, and every pore is relaxed, which is very comfortable.

After dinner, Li Zhao took Aunt Qin for a walk in the backyard of Qingning Palace, a large area full of flowers and plants, and two grape corridors in it.

The two walked under the grape trellis, and Aunt Qin saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "That's it?" Just let the long-lived lord go out to eat with his father-in-law? ”

She asked about getting rid of Wang Huanting.

Li Zhao glanced at the woman she was closest to for the time being, and a helpless smile appeared on her face.

Her aunt, no matter how big the things outside are, it's not as big as getting rid of Wang Pingting.

It's a pity that her target is not Wang Pingting, and now everyone thinks that the Eight Tigers will leave the palace tomorrow, but don't you know that under the calm sea, there is a torrent and an undercurrent, and the struggle is in secret.

Tonight, Wang Pingting is just a trick, Liu Jian and Zhao Jin are the protagonists, but it is an honor that she is the director.

Thinking like this, Li Zhao laughed.

Aunt Qin: "......"

Suddenly, a smirk made her look at her mother in a daze, and then said admittedly: "Crazy panic." ”

She has a good relationship with Aunt Qin, sometimes she makes small jokes, Li Zhao raised her hand and punched Aunt Qin in the shoulder, and then looked at the dark night on the horizon, she hooked her lips and smiled: "The hour is almost up, let's watch the play." ”

*******

Although it rained in the morning, the drizzle drizzled the ground through, and at night, there was a faint dampness in the small ditch beside the road.

Yang Ning set off from Xiaojiangfang Hutong, sat in a sedan chair, and came to the familiar alley, outside the sedan curtain, a row of straight poplars came into view, Yang Ning knocked on the sedan wall, and the sedan chair stopped.

When the sedan chair was stable, Yang Ning got out of the sedan chair, he first looked at the row of poplars on the side of the road, and then turned around, and there was a corner gate opposite the poplars.

This is the back alley of Liu Jian's house, the back door of the back alley.

Yang Ning walked lightly to the back door, knocked three times with a familiar car, and after a while, a small guy with a melon skin hat appeared behind the door, and when he saw that it was him, he hurriedly saluted and opened the door.

Yang Ning often came to Liu Jian's house, so he was familiar with people and places.

Liu Jian's house is just a small house with two entrances, he came in through the back door, did not need a small servant to lead the way, walked around the road between the two walls, and walked for a while, and arrived at the front yard.

There are three main rooms in the front yard, the middle is the hall room, and the east wing is Liu Jian's study.

At this time, there was no sound in the main hall, and the window of the study showed red candlelight.

Yang Ning entered the door of the study, and after passing the first door was the entrance, and turning left was another door, which was not blocked by a real door, but a thin bamboo curtain hanging down.

Yang Ning heard a voice talking in the room, coughed, and then lifted the curtain and went in.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard someone say, "I have seen Lord Yang." ”

The layout of Liu Jian's study is extremely simple, because the place is not large, there are no partition screens and the like, the west and north walls are bookshelves, and there are painting cases in front of the north bookshelf.

The painting case is preceded by the book case.

Two chairs in front of and behind the bookcase.

Further to the west of the bookshelves are two sets of chairs that are several high.

A couch to the east, nothing else.

At this time, all the chairs in the room were full of people, and the two elders on the Taishi chair greeted him.

After the two finished speaking, Li Yangdong, who was sitting opposite the bookcase, also called Lord Yang.

Yang Ning arched his hand and said, "You are all here." ”

As he spoke, he approached the house.

Liu Jian sat behind the bookcase, opposite Li Yangdong, and said, "Don't worry, there are still people who haven't arrived." ”

Li Yangdong stood up at this time and gave him a place.

The imperial court pays attention to seniority, Yang Ning's seniority is older than Li Yangdong, he is used to it, said thank you, and sat down.

There were still a few people standing in the room, and they were the three important ministers of the six ministries except for the people who entered the cabinet.

The cabinet assistant minister was originally a small official position set up by Chengzu to share government affairs for himself.

It is equivalent to the secretary group, which was originally only held by five or six petty officials, and then the position of the cabinet became more and more important, and those petty officials were often not qualified enough to suppress the senior officials.

Now Liu Jian is the secretary of the ministry, Li Yangdong takes care of the household department, and Yang Ning takes care of the ministry himself.

The other three important ministers who did not enter the cabinet were Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Cui Jingye, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Li Yangdong followed the three important ministers and stood opposite Liu Jian.

Yang Ning counted in his heart, and when Liu Jian sent him a letter, he said that he would discuss the matter of the Eight Tigers, which was an internal meeting of civil officials, and the level was above the fifth grade, which was equivalent to the early dynasty.

The six Shangshu have arrived, and those who can still be qualified are the talents among the six servants.

Just as he was thinking about it, the curtain rang, and six people came in together, led by Jiao Fang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as they entered, the lights in the room were suddenly blocked, and it became even narrower.

After Liu Jian saw someone coming, he said, "Let's just find a place." ”

He doesn't have many chairs at home, and he is looking for a place to stand.

Yang Ning saw that two of the six people were near the door, and the four of them were behind Li Yangdong, and then they didn't move.

Now everyone is up.

Next, Liu Jian glanced at everyone, and said really: "Everyone has arrived, and some things are difficult to say in the court, so I brought you all here, and let's talk about it here." ”
