New Year's Day, Tokyo, Jieiden.

Although there was no good news throughout the year, this did not delay Zhao Ji from holding the annual New Year's Day banquet.

Zhao Ji is a very forgetful person, he only lost the Daimyo's Mansion two days ago, and now he has already forgotten about it.

Outside the Jiying Palace, there is a division that has already set up a mountain tower pomp outside the palace, and there are a group of immortals composed of palace maids and eunuchs, and found some people to form six tributes, and the palace is built on the wonders of nine dragons and five phoenixes, and the Tokyo Workshop arranged for the musician singer to sing in its side hall. The whole Jiying Hall is surrounded by lanterns, full of splendid curtains, like a fairyland on earth.

When the hour was almost up, there were already eunuchs singing and shouting at the entrance of the hall, and the hundred officials were divided into two teams and walked in slowly from outside the hall.

The first person on the right hand side is Tong Guan, who is burly and heroic, representing the first military attaché. Tong Guan only returned to Tokyo last night.

In fact, Tong Guan could have come back a long time ago, but he learned the news of the fall of the Daimyo's Mansion halfway, and was worried that the emperor would be angry with him, so he deliberately delayed two days, and when the emperor was angry, he came back to catch this big banquet.

The first person on the left hand side is Cai You, who has a smug face, and I saw him with his hands behind his back, holding his official belly, and taking official steps, and behind him is Cai Jing, an old man with white hair and old hair, and an old man holding a cane.

According to his official position, Cai You is now only a young master, and he is not qualified to stand in the first place in civil officials, and it is impossible to stand in front of his father Cai Jing.

But now Cai You is favored, and the emperor even asked him to replace Wang Huang and handle all affairs, Wang Huang is Yuan Zai, the head of a hundred officials, although Cai You is not officially appointed, but everyone acquiesces.

Cai Youna is notoriously cautious, and now that he has offended, if he really becomes Yuan Zai in the future, then he is looking for death now.

However, everyone looked at Cai You and Cai Jing with a smile, the smile was very joking, the father and son were overwhelmed, this is a big show.

"Old man, you're almost in the ground, why bother to join in the fun?"

Cai You said to Cai Jing behind him while walking slowly, his voice was disrespectful, and there was even some contempt.

"I'm old, but I'm still too early to be buried in the ground!"

Cai Jing said slowly.

"Hmph, I think you're dying!"

Cai You's eyes were cold.

"When did you learn to look?"

Cai Jing replied lukewarmly.

"Didn't you just learn it, I think you're going to be buried in the ground!"

Cai You said with a smile.

"Why do you have to do this?"

Cai Jing looked at Cai You in front of him, a double phase, what a good talk, but Cai You insisted on being his enemy, and he had to fight father and son.

"Because you old man is in the way, you honestly go back to your hometown to retire, I won't embarrass you! You're so old, what's the point of not leaving? ”

Cai You looked at Cai Jing and said.

"As long as you promise not to embarrass your younger brothers, it's not impossible for me to return to my hometown!"

Cai Jing opened his mouth and said, his face became a little more old when he said this, he was already a person who was intoxicated with power, and the power had already been integrated with him for such a year.

But now Cai Jing wants to admit defeat, he is old, he can't compare to a young man, if Cai You is really for the Cai family, then give it to him.

"I promise!"

Cai You readily agreed.

"You remember to resign tomorrow, and I will approve it directly! As for the Emperor, I'll help you find a good interface! Well...... It's too late tomorrow, or you should resign in person today! ”

Cai You said immediately.

"Are you serious?"

Cai Jing looked at Cai You, the old dragon clock on his body disappeared in an instant, and he became the powerful and opposition-leaning Cai Taishi again.

"Of course I'm serious!"

Cai You looked at Cai Jing coldly.

Cai Jing didn't pay attention to Cai You anymore, he knew best how despicable and shameless Cai You was, what he said had no credibility, and it was obviously fake to promise so quickly.

"Old man, if you think about it carefully, I will promise you this."

Cai You sneered, now that his power has surpassed Cai Jing, he no longer has to care about anything.

Cai You deliberately pressed the speed very slowly, and the officials behind could only follow slowly, knowing that Cai You was deliberately humiliating Cai Jing.

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

The eunuch shouted again.

Cai You and Tong Guan walked to the palace with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Although the Jiying Hall is large, it can't sit so many officials, and only then all the officials with names and surnames in Tokyo are here, and there are nearly a thousand people.

If you want to enter the main hall, you must at least be an official above the third grade, as for those below the third grade, they can only sit in the side hall, and those below the fifth grade can only sit in the corridors on both sides, and these people can't even see the emperor's face.

And there is an alternative among the officials who entered the main hall, that is, Sun Li, who is still a doctor of the five-rank central guard, was allowed to enter the inner hall, and the seat was very forward, only under a few captains.

The Song law stipulates: The three grades of civil and military have been served purple, the fifth grade has been served, and the ninth grade has been served green.

A group of purple-robed officials were mixed in, which was quite eye-catching, and many people looked at Sun Li, secretly saying that this Great Song God of War was really favored.

The officials who entered the inner hall sat down under the guidance of the inner attendants, and everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Li.

"This is Sun Li, the god of war! I heard how many times you won Liangshanbo and recaptured three cities? ”

Cai You looked at Sun Li and asked, his tone was still high.

"Back to Cai Xiang, the last general is Sun Li, as for the war, Sun Li was embarrassed and failed to take Liangshanbo."

Sun Li had long heard that Cai You was arrogant and domineering, and his heart was very small, so he dared to slack off, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's still a bit capable, but there is a shortage of people to drive under the command of the prime minister, so it's better to defect to the prime minister and recover the Daimyo's mansion in a few months!"

Cai You said with a smile, he read the three words of the Daimyo Mansion very loudly, and his eyes swept to Cai Jing, Liang Zhongshu is Cai Jing's person, and losing the Daimyo Mansion just means that Cai Jing is old and useless.

"This ......"

Sun Li glanced at Tong Guan, the top on his side, with some embarrassment, he was a military general, so he naturally did not dare to deviate from the military system at will.

"Tong Xiang, what do you think?"

Cai You saw Sun Li looking at Tong Guan, and he also looked at Tong Guan without restraint and asked.

As soon as these words came out, the civil officials on the left and the military attachés on the right all sat upright, looking at their noses and noses, and their noses and hearts, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Before Tong Guan came back, Cai You was in charge of the Privy Council, controlling the world's generals and the dispatch of soldiers and horses, but now that Tong Guan is back, the matter of the Privy Council will naturally return to Tong Guan.

Cai You is so blatant in front of everyone to woo Sun Li, which is clearly not to give Tong Guan face, and to dig Tong Guan's corner.

Although Cai You is now favored, with a high position and power, but the power of heaven is unpredictable, there are more ministers who have been favored for so many years, not to mention, not to mention that Wang Huang is enough to be favored, and he has been promoted to the eighth rank in a row, and has achieved the position of Yuan Zai all the way, becoming the head of a hundred officials, which can be regarded as one person under ten thousand people, but the emperor has a word, directly demoted to the common people, although people are still in Tokyo now, but they have long been crowded.

Now there are only two people in the Great Song Dynasty who can really be regarded as evergreens, one Tong Guan and one Cai Jing, Cai Jing is up and down, but Tong Guan's position has been as stable as Mount Tai for so many years, and this honor is not comparable to Cai You.
