Li Gang said lightly: "The prince thinks too much, the princes go out to patrol is a last resort now, King Jing is just the governor of the three places, he is too young, the saint is afraid that he will not be able to master the operation of the 100,000 army, so he will send so many people to help him." Otherwise, the prince took the initiative to invite Ying, stay in Bianliang, and you will go to the Daimyo's Mansion in person. ”

Zhao Huan was speechless, if that happens, the folk legends will be even more boiling, I am afraid that he thinks that his position as the crown prince is not guaranteed, and like Zhao Kai, he will not be able to come back after leaving Bianliang; Li Gang saw that Zhao Huan was gradually calming down, and knew that Zhao Huan had figured it out, and said calmly: "The Holy Lord is anxious to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, if the prince is really worried, he should be worried about Liang Fangping, who is training troops in the Daimyo's Mansion, and their success or failure is related to your situation." ”

Li Gang was desperately opposed to Liang Fangping going to the Daimyo Mansion at that time, even if there were good generals like Hu Yanzhuo, Li Gang was too unsure of Liang Fangping's personality, and he was worried that if he won the battle, he would learn about Tong Guan and others because of the merit, and he would not know what kind of moth he could produce if he lost the battle; Zhao Huan was about to explain, and Menzi happily ran in and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lan Congxi has come to give a gift." ”

This is a rare guest, Zhao Huan was confused, or went out to see it in person; Lan Congxi looked at the prince Zhao Huan with white eyebrows and a smile in his eyes, and said: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister is going to Fanshang to see the new spices, and he happened to pass by when he came back, and he came to see the prince by the way." ”

"Lord Lan has a heart. Zhao Huan smiled, there must be demons in the abnormal, Lan Congxi's qualifications are very old, comparable to Tong Guan, he is deeply trusted by Song Huizong, and he is a eunuch who has no descendants to care about, he usually ignores the prince Zhao Huan, how could he be so cautious and show a subordinate attitude. Zhao Huan replied, let Lan Congxi into the living room and asked, "Li Gang happens to be there, Lord Lan doesn't mind, right?"

When Lan Congxi saw Li Gang, he looked like a confidant, and said happily: "Master Li is here, that's great, let's talk together." ”

Let's talk together, Li Gang stepped forward to salute, but he was surprised in his heart, Lan Congxi had no contact with him, could it be that what Lan Congxi wanted to say was that he wanted to listen to it together. The three guests and hosts were seated, and the crown prince Zhao Huan was hesitating how to speak, Lan Congxi smiled and said: "Now for the Northern Expedition, all the divisions are busy, and even several princes have to travel, but the old ministers can't help at all, it's really ashamed." ”

Zhao Kai said in his heart, can't I help too, and still said with a smile in his mouth: "The Privy Council has to face not only the Liao State, but also the situation in Western Xia and the south, and the burden on Lord Lan is not light." ”

Lan Congxi echoed: "What the prince said was timely, the old minister almost forgot his duties, he is really old, not as young and strong as Cao Qianli, he went to Jeju in person for Cao Yun, and he can be described as a model among officials." ”

"That's as it should be. Halfway through the words of the crown prince Zhao Huan, he was suddenly stunned, when did Cao Qianli manage Caoyun diligently, if it was said that Lan Congxi was messing around in the Privy Council every day, Cao Qianli couldn't even do this; according to the officials of Caoyun Yamen, Cao Qianli could go five days a month, even if it was too much, as for going to Jeju, could it be that the things escorted were not trivial, or had other plans.

Prince Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang, Li Gang obviously thought of this, knowing that Lan Congxi deliberately leaked the news, Li Gang said in a low voice: "Please teach Lord Lan." ”

Lan Congxi said very favorably: "Lord Li is polite, in fact, this official doesn't know anything about this, but I can recommend two people to the prince, Xie Shi and Su Guo." ”

Xie Shi took refuge in Lan Congxi, it is well known that Su Guo is the son of Su Dongpo, and now he is Liang Shicheng's brother, Zhao Huan and Li Gang can be sure that Lan Congxi is here to take refuge, and he passed the gas with Liang Shicheng in advance, and now what he is waiting for is Zhao Huan's attitude. Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Lord Lan's recommendation must be talented, thank you very much." ”

Zhao Huan is not afraid of many people now, but he is worried about few people, Lan Congxi is also the privy deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he has gathered a group of people under him for decades, Zhao Huan has no reason to refuse it; Zhao Huan believes that if he does not accept Lan Congxi, Lan Congxi will definitely accept him if he changes to a palace. Li Gang still felt inappropriate, but he knew that because of the incident of the Four Kings' inspection, Zhao Huan was deeply stimulated, and some things Zhao Huan might have already started, but he was just hiding it from himself.

Lan Congxi said a few polite words, then got up and said goodbye, now that Song Huizong is still in his prime, Lan Congxi will never leave any tongue and handle, anyone asks at any time, he just came to recommend two literati. However, Zhao Huan was shocked by Cao Qianli's news, and hurriedly arranged for people to go to various yamen to inquire, only to know that the Flame Flying Flower of the Imperial City Division, Du Wanche Tie Bang Yi of Gu Tongyuan, Xu Zhichang, Zhang Babai, and Fu Xilie of the Liangjie Recording Institute have all left Bianliang in the past few days, and the rest of the people who don't know don't know how many.

Zhao Huan trembled and said to Li Gang: "This is a precursor to a big move." ”

Li Gang also knew that Song Huizong had a big move, but as long as Song Huizong was still in power, all this had nothing to do with Zhao Huan, the prince, just manage the people's sufferings and brush up his reputation, if Zhao Huan wanted to behave in the government every day, it would be purely self-inflicted. Li Gang glanced at Zhao Huan and asked, "What does the prince want to do?"

I want to do it, Zhao Huan thought about it carefully, suddenly felt cold, sat down on the chair, and said weakly: "Li Gang, you are right, I really don't have to do anything, I want to watch singing and dancing at night, so I won't leave you." ”

Li Gang said goodbye, no matter what Zhao Huan said was true or not, Li Gang didn't want to care, Li Gang, as the right-hand man of the crown prince Zhao Huan, actually knew that when Liang Fangping went to the Daimyo's Mansion, Jiang Youju, the sixth lord of Xiaoyao Island, also secretly dispatched with a large number of masters. Li Gang was wearing civilian clothes and was strolling through the crowd, when suddenly a businessman appeared beside him, smiled and said, "Lord Li, someone wants to have a cup of tea with you, please move." ”

Li Gang looked at it and said in surprise: "The tooth man Tan Mingguang." ”

Tan Mingguang showed a flattering smile and said: "I didn't expect the adults to know the villain, so it would be easy to do, the villain is an errand runner, and I hope the adults will appreciate their faces." ”

Tan Mingguang, the tooth man, is a master in the market, and he can instruct Tan Mingguang to run errands on the street, either Song Huizong or He Sue, Li Gang didn't say much, and directly asked Tan Mingguang to lead the way, all the way to Fan Lou. Song Huizong, Di Jingzhi, and Li Bangyan were drinking tea, Yu Shura, Huo Sijiu, and Meng Zhongweng were in the two pavilions outside, Song Huizong beckoned Li Gang to sit down, and Di Jingzhi got up and poured a cup of tea for Li Gang and said: "Xiaodao has long wanted to visit Master Li, but he has never had the opportunity. ”
