The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty.

This was originally the residence of the Huyan family, and after the imperial court rehabilitated the Hu family, it gave it to Huyan Shouyong.

In just a few days, the dilapidated mansion has been renovated.

Among the flowers and trees of the green onion cage, there are servants and maids shuttling back and forth, and the main hall is staggered, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, and it is a picture of prosperity.

Today's family banquet guests, but the person sitting on the main seat of the main hall is not Hu Yan Shouyong, but Wang Yanling, the prime minister of the dynasty.

In front of him, Hu Yanshou and his wife could only accompany the last seat and be careful to entertain.

Seeing that Hu Yanshou was sullen, Wang Yanling put down his wine glass, smiled kindly, and asked:

"Loyal and filial piety, but you have troubles?"

"Today's private banquet is not as good as the court, and you don't have to speak out, you have your own old man to be your master."

He was extremely satisfied with Hu Yan Shouyong, so his words were also very indulgent and spoiling.

Huyanjia is the founding father, although he was once condemned as a great rebel because he offended the first emperor, but he also knows the root and can rest assured.

Especially when he was surrounded and suppressed by the generals of the family, he was a lonely minister, and now under his own auspices, he rehabilitated Zhaoxue for his family, which made him feel quite close.

That's why he took advantage of this rebellion to push Hu Yanshou to the position of commander of the front division of the palace.

It's not that he has to monopolize military power, but the fall of Sima Guang makes him a little uneasy.

He was originally guarding against Pan Renmei, and he didn't take Cao Bin too seriously.

After all, Cao Bin has only been in the court for a few years, and his foundation is weak, even if he can lead the troops, he is just a martial artist.

For himself as a prime minister, it is not too difficult to grasp.

As for his few old departments, most of them are martial artists and have no right to speak.

What's more, those martial artists are just looking for a backer, so hard that they will fight against the entire court for Cao Bin?

But he didn't expect that the successor he focused on cultivating, Sima Guang, would be easily abolished by Cao Bin, although the Pan father and daughter contributed to it, but it can also be seen that Cao Bin's influence in the court is not small.

If he lets his people control a large number of forbidden troops, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to control.

He didn't suspect that Cao Bin would use Di Qing to rebel.

After all, the military commander only has the right to train troops, and does not have the right to transfer troops, and if there is no order from the Privy Council, there will be various restrictions.

Unless Cao Bin directly leads the troops, with his prestige in the army, he has a certain strength to make his soldiers ignore the Privy Council's order.

But after he became the deputy envoy of the Third Division, the trapped army had been incorporated into the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, and except for his personal guards, Cao Bin did not have direct military power.

Not to mention whether Di Qing will help the abuse, the world will not agree, and Cao Bin himself will not be stupid, after all, this is not a troubled era for five generations.

Wang Yanling is worried that Cao Bin and Pan Renmei will unite and force him, the prime minister, he is not afraid of the court attack, but if Pan Cao mutinies and forces the palace, he doesn't know what will happen to the court, he, the prime minister, will definitely be unlucky.

After all, the scene when the first emperor was critically ill is vivid, and these two people who have no bottom line may not have the same drama again.

When the time comes, the imperial court will be controlled by these two people, is there a good one?

Maybe there will be a disaster of relatives in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after Sima Guang was abolished, he attached great importance to the position of commander of the front division of the palace.

But with the situation at that time, he had no way to suppress Di Qing for no reason, so he could only reluctantly bring out the Yang family and let them compete with Di Qing for the position of the front secretary of the palace.

However, strictly speaking, the Yang family is not very in line with his wishes.

First, their Zeng family was implicated and convicted by themselves, and there was no way to completely suppress Di Qing.

The second is that their reputation for loyalty and righteousness is too prosperous, and they have a plaque from the emperor, which is very popular with the people, and they are also leaders among the martial arts, which is too dangerous.

The third is that Yang Zongbao has a heavy army outside...... Now I don't have to worry about it, it's just a pity.

At this time, Huyan Shouyong appeared,

His situation made Wang Yanling's eyes shine, not only did he have an enmity with the rest of the generals, but he was also given a great favor by himself, which was simply wonderful.

and then took advantage of the danger of hundreds of thousands of bandit troops in Tianhu outside the city, and took advantage of the situation to push him to the position of the commander of the front division of the palace, which was justified, not to mention the ministers, even Pan Renmei did not dare to object.

At this time, Wang Yanling looked at Hu Yan Shouyong, like looking at his own son.

Hearing Wang Yanling's inquiry, Hu Yanshou was outside the spirit object, as if he hadn't heard it, Xiao Saihong next to him hurriedly kicked him and said:

"Husband, the prime minister is asking, are you too rude?"

Hu Yanshou is only thirty years old, with three strands of sparse and dense hair, and his face is handsome and elegant.

After being reminded by his wife, he suddenly woke up, glanced at her, and said to Wang Yanling very worriedly:

"Xiangye, I call the Yang family to have a good contract for generations, this time Zongbao was mistakenly killed by my wife and son, I don't know how to meet the old lady, after all, it is ...... The only male in the Yang family. ”

When Wang Yanling heard this, he immediately fell silent, but Xiao Saihong said unhappily:

"Is my righteous son not your righteous son?"

"Back then, the Yang family helped Zhao...... When you suppress your family, why don't you remember the good feelings? ”

After speaking, she wanted to be angry, and said:

"What's more, my righteous son, in order to avenge you, was also victimized by Yang Zongbao."

Hu Yanshou choked suddenly, and helplessly explained:

"After all, it was ordered by the emperor back then, and the old lady had no way to ......"

Xiao Saihong said angrily:

"I think you dislike my son and not a Song person, so you don't have any father-son relationship!"

Hu Yanshou was speechless, and Wang Yanling hurriedly relieved the siege and said:

"At that time, each was its own master, and it was also a misunderstanding before."

"The old lady will always be righteous, and I think I will focus on the overall situation in the future, and I don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Saihong's martial arts are extremely high, and he is proficient in the art of war, and Wang Yanling doesn't want their husband and wife to have conflicts, so Hu Yanshou has no intention of doing business.

Hearing Wang Yanling speak, Xiao Saihong immediately became well-behaved, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:

"What Xiang Ye said is very true, now that my husband and I have returned to the Song Dynasty, we will all rely on Xiang Ye in the future."

"The concubine salutes the grandfather with a cup to show respect......"

As he spoke, he commanded the second son behind him:

"Go and serve the wine to the prime minister, only as your own parents."

When Wang Yanling heard this, he immediately smiled, and praised again and again:

"I heard that this time Tian Hu was captured, the danger of Bianjing was saved, and the difficulty of the Great Song Dynasty was solved, this is the son who did it, okay, okay!"

"This is really a lot of credit, and it seems that a guerrilla general is not enough to raise funds......"

The guerrilla general is already a fifth-grade martial artist, and for young people, it is already a high position, and even Pan Bao is only of this grade, which is really a bit exaggerated.

Xiao Saihong didn't care when he heard this, but just said happily:

"I never thought that the prime minister valued it so much, why don't you let my son be the prime minister's righteous grandson?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly said to Yizi:

"The Great Song Dynasty is different from the Liao State, now the emperor is young, and Wang Xiang is the first person in the court."

"In the future, if the king takes a fancy to him, why worry that my son can't make meritorious contributions, why don't you thank my grandfather?"

The righteous son was also very obedient, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately fell to his knees and called him grandfather.

He also saw that this king valued his father-in-law very much.

But I didn't expect that I also had such an opportunity, and the idea that was not realized in Daliao was actually realized in Da Song.

If it is really like what his stepmother said, he is still not allowed to fly in the Great Song Dynasty?

When Wang Yanling heard this, he was a little speechless.

He praised it, but he didn't want to recognize his relatives, not to mention that this guy was a Liao person, that is, a Song person, and he didn't want to recognize his relatives with a martial artist.

If it is known, it will not be laughed to death? Is there any innocence to speak of?

At this time, the porter reported:

"Xiangye, Hou Ye, Master Kou asks to see you."

Wang Yanling hurriedly diverted the topic and said:

"Please come in ......"

Kou Zhun saw that there was a staggered plan here, his face was not good, and he sighed to Wang Yanling:

"Prime Minister Wang, you have hurt the hearts of loyal ministers this time, and the old lady wants to resign and go into hiding...... The lower officials couldn't persuade him. ”

Wang Yanling was stunned for a moment, and instinctively said angrily:

"Nonsense, without the approval of the imperial court, how can you say that you will resign from the official position, and what will the imperial court be?"

Kou Zhun was silent for a moment and said:

"Wang Xiang, the court needs the Yang family, and I hope that Wang Xiang will try to appease him, so as not to let the loyal and righteous people in the world completely chill their hearts......"

With that, he turned and left.

Although he has always advised She Taijun to focus on the overall situation, he also has quite an opinion on Wang Yanling's selection of people to do things, if it were not for the fear of chaos in the court, he would have to talk about impeaching Wang Yanling.

Seeing this, Wang Yanling shook his head helplessly and ordered:

"Prepare the car, the old man will go to appease one or two in person."

It's just that he was already old and drank a lot of wine, so he couldn't get up for a while, so he had to say:

"Shouyong, you go and keep She Taijun first, and the old man will be there after a while."

When Xiao Saihong heard this, he hurriedly said attentively:

"My son will take the first step and find out if the Yang family has left the city."

"We must keep them, and wait for Xiangye to arrive ......"
