This scene fell in Liu Cheng's eyes, like a young man who had just entered the love period flirting and scolding.

Hey.

After all, he was also young, so he can be regarded as a person from the past.

Looking at the backs of the two under the moon, his mood was very comfortable and relaxed.

"Lao Yan, you have to have a few more drinks with me in a while."

"What makes you happy like this?"

Liu Cheng didn't speak, but raised his chin in the direction of Li Yunsheng.

On the side, Yan Shichun, a servant under the door, followed his gaze.

"It's also difficult for you, you've been going back and forth between this party and that party."

Liu Cheng was also a little emotional.

"My old bones are not easy for His Majesty and Li Xiang to toss, I knew it was like today, why should I work so hard."

Seeing that the relationship between the empress and Li Yunsheng is getting closer and closer, the burden on his body is getting lighter and lighter.

There is no need to maneuver between the royalists and the Li party, and they are happy to be idle.

"Haha."

Yan Shichun couldn't help but joke with a smile.

"If I had known that it was like today, I am afraid that you would be the first to run and shout for Li Xiang and become the chief henchman of the Li Party."

Liu Cheng smiled, although he knew that Old Man Yan was joking, but if he had known today, then he would really go.

Because, only he knows that this Li Xiangye has a miracle medicine in his hand that will make people live for an extra year.

After sighing in his heart, he glanced at Huo Dingwen who was lonely on the other side of the river.

"I see, this Huo Shilang was hit hard by Li Xiang."

"Since ancient times, clean officials are like rare, and corrupt officials are like carp crossing the river.

If His Majesty had chosen all of them to be Qing officials, then the world would have been peaceful a long time ago. ”

Just separated by a small river, Huo Dingwen felt that he was thousands of miles away from Li Yunsheng.

It's not just that the empress can't figure it out, he can't figure it out either.

Those who followed him all the way to implement the new policy in Weidi, how did they all turn against each other in just a few months after coming to Beijing.

"Why, you say?"

This sentence is like asking the royal official beside him, and it is like asking himself.

Apparently the king understood better than he could see.

"Your Majesty personally selected the talents of the imperial examination, just to let these people enter Beijing as officials and become royalists.

As the promoter of the New Deal, it is very likely that he will be entrusted with the important task of becoming the head of the royalist party in the future.

But Li Xiang could obviously prevent all this from happening, but he let His Majesty do it, so he naturally expected this day a long time ago. ”

Huo Dingwen understood the truth, but he was inevitably a little sad and angry in his heart, and he glanced at Li Yunsheng on the other side of the river.

"Those people who are well cultivated will be able to be made in the future.

Li Xiang ruined them all, what did he want, and what did the people of the world count in his heart? ”

The king shook his head.

"Adults don't need to be like this, I think Li Xiang may be waiting."

"Wait?" Huo Dingwen was a little puzzled, "What are you waiting for?" ”

"When the world is unified, there will be no external troubles, as the so-called outside must first be safe."

After a pause, the king continued.

"In fact, there are very few people in this world who can be as clean as adults.

In all fairness, many people do not become officials for the sake of the common people, but for the future of wealth and prosperity.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a permanent clean official or a corrupt official.

If the imperial court really vigorously rectifies the rule of officials one day, those who fall to Li Xiang will naturally restrain their inner greed and turn to the adults again. ”

……

Li Yunsheng didn't know that the two old guys behind him were discussing the rights and wrongs of him and the empress, and looked at Huo Dingwen, as if they were talking to him in the air.

"This Jingshi is like a big dye vat, whether it is really honest and self-clean, throw these people into it and try it."

The anger in Jiang Qingying's heart gradually dissipated, in fact, she herself knew that it was not so much angry as unconvinced.

"When you were the champion, you made a bold ambition to rectify the rule of officials, eliminate corruption, and return the world to Qingming."

She always remembered these bold words, and it was true that she wanted to consolidate her imperial power by reusing Huo Dingwen to implement the new policy.

In fact, in his heart, he also wanted Li Yunsheng to take a look and see what the Da Chu he had expected looked forward to was like.

If the empress didn't say it, Li Yunsheng would have forgotten the champion who was ambitious.

He has come to this point more involuntarily.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and you will understand it after entering the officialdom.

Corrupt officials are like leeks, if they cut one stubble, they will grow another stubble, and if they cut one stubble, they will grow another, and one stubble will grow another.

Therefore, he might as well be the head of this corrupt official directly, and the rules will be set by me.

"I would like to incarnate this dye vat, just for your eternal country."

With that, he turned and left.

After the Krathong, the palace banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival officially began.

In the Dragon Head Garden, filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, more than a dozen dancing girls from the Western Regions slowly appeared.

Dressed in bright dresses, a golden headdress, a pair of bells in their ears, and a silver belt around their waists, they danced to the melodious music of the garden.

Sometimes it spins lightly, sometimes it jumps definitely, sometimes it sways seductively, sometimes it writhes passionately.

The light veil adds a bit of mystery to these dancing girls.

The civil and military officials are sitting together, and there is a table in front of them, while Li Yunsheng is alone at the table, and he is closest to the empress.

Of course, moon cakes are indispensable for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the moon cakes here are called palace cakes, commonly known as small cakes, which are the prototype of moon cakes.

The small cakes are like chewing moons, and there are crisps and syrup.

Taste it silently, lovesick tears stained with towels.

Butter and sugar filled with small cakes are the most worthy of the bright moon in the sky.

At this time, the palace maids are serving dishes one after another, jasper, jade plate, pigeon tofu soup, boiled chicken breast, and Sydney pumpkin soup......

Of course, it is indispensable that the empress specially instructed the imperial dining room to open a small stove for Li Yunsheng.

The table he put on the table is not the same specification as everyone else.

Not only are the dishes different, but even the sake is different.

The wine jugs on the tables of the other ministers were full of osmanthus wine, but on his table was the Liuxia Liquor, which was very intoxicating.

The wine was in the glass, and Li Yunsheng smelled a hint of conspiracy when he sniffed it lightly.

Turning his head slightly to look at the empress, Jiang Qingying was raising his wine glass and showing a smile at him.

"The state affairs are heavy, Li Aiqing works hard for me, and I respect Aiqing for a cup."

The phrase 'work for me', everyone heard the meaning beyond the words.

This is to point Li Xiangyue to act on behalf of him, and not to return the government to His Majesty.

Li Yunsheng immediately picked up his wine glass.

"Your Majesty said this, but it made the ministers panic."

As soon as he finished speaking, the osmanthus wine in the empress's cup was drunk.

Seeing this, he could only bite the bullet and make a glass of Liuxia Brew.

This wine is different from wine, once it reaches an intoxicating volume, the wine will get strong very quickly.

Seeing that his wine glass was empty, the palace maid behind him immediately picked up the wine jug and poured wine.

Liu Cheng, who was observant of his words, did not give Li Yunsheng a chance to take a breath at all, and after the empress, he toasted for the second time.

"In the first battle of the Beijing Division, Li Xiang turned the tide, and I respect Li Xiang."

Li Yunsheng's eyelids trembled, and he whispered to the palace maid.

"Don't overfill."

If he continues to pay homage like this, he won't be able to eat a bite of food, so he will have to be carried down.

Hearing this, the palace maid's hand paused slightly, and she was about to stop when the wine was seven points full.

Liu Chenglang said.

"Li Xiang said that it was full!"
