Later, the high school flower explorer always liked to tell people about the allusions of the prime minister's mansion, although he didn't dare to talk nonsense in the officialdom, but in private he found a storyteller to make up the story amazingly.

In short, the folk legend is that the old prime minister has a good eye, and at a glance he fell in love with this extraordinary young talent, and he talked with him all night long, and if he didn't have a daughter under his knees, he would definitely recruit him as a son-in-law.

This story is widely circulated among the people, but most of them have been changed to the story of talented and beautiful women. The young Tanhualang is handsome and handsome, and naturally has become the heart of many ladies in the boudoir.

It's just that between the government and the opposition, it's a different joke.

At this moment, Xiu Yan Lian mentioned this joke.

"I heard that Gu Liyu and Gu Tanhua were rejected by our Prime Minister again. ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "There is such a thing. ”

Xiu Yan said: "At the beginning, the children of the down-and-out poor family wanted to spend the night and were warmly entertained, but now they have done something for the country, but they have no chance to enter our prime minister's mansion." ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "It should be like this." ”

Xiu Yan said: "Why?"

Zhang Chuxin said: "You don't know?"

Xiu Yan said: "I know a little bit about it, and I am willing to hear it in detail." ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "If you really don't know anything about it, you won't ask me for drinks repeatedly." ”

Xiu Yan said: "The predecessors didn't dare to climb high, or they didn't bother to listen to their lessons. People of the same age, if they are either anointed and hakama, or they are cold and sour, and they either can't look down on them or can't talk about them. ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "Can I talk about it again?"

Xiu Yan said: "It's time to talk." ”

Zhang Chuxin smiled: "That General Nangong is an interesting person. ”

Xiu Yan said: "It's really interesting, young and promising, and quite a general, but it's a pity that he doesn't drink." ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "It seems that I have already looked for him." ”

Xiu Yan suddenly smiled playfully: "Are you jealous?"

Zhang Chuxin was stunned: "What?"

Xiu Yan laughed and said, "It's nothing. Of all the people, only drinking with you is the most fun. ”

Zhang Chuxin glanced at him, and said back to Tanhualang: "Since the ancient sages established the Fadu court, there has been a habit of forming a party when you are an official in the court. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, or for power or self-preservation, our Tanhualang enters the court as an official, and naturally wants to find a reliable backer. took advantage of the opportunity of dew with our prime minister to join the Zhang Party. But when did we have a Zhang party in the DPRK. ”

Zhang Chuxin talked about his grandfather, never said that he was a grandfather, and only called the prime minister.

Xiu Yan said: "Why is this?"

Zhang Chuxin glanced at Xiu Yan Shu, he usually only reads sage books without leaving home, and delves into the art of governing the country, and he doesn't know that Xiu Yan Lan likes to pretend to be stupid and hand people to the steps, so he really thinks he doesn't know: "The government and the opposition of the Great Zhou Dynasty are different from the other seven countries, and the main political affairs are almost all the words of our prime minister, and for a long time there has been a situation where 'the emperor does not pay' although it is a joke but it is also a truth, so that Zhang Chengxiang has almost become the real emperor of the Great Zhou." ”

Xiu Yan said: "This is what I said in Da Zhou. ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "The emperor's technique has not started, but it is just a momentary speed. ”

Xiu Yan said: "Then what." ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "The prime minister is the head of the civil officials, and the head of the military attaché, General Bai Liyao, in addition to loving to quarrel with him on weekdays, is obedient to the prime minister's words in business. It is a rare combination of appearance and detachment, and it will be a one-hearted situation. This made the issuance and implementation of the decrees of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty extremely smooth, and there was almost no power struggle and corruption to be profited.

"After all, meandering currents accumulate sediment.

"Such a clean court like a pool of stagnant water is not only boring, but also full of dangers, and the undercurrent is surging.

"Once Zhang Xufeng, Bai Liyao, and even Shennong, who has never paid attention to the government, pass away, this seemingly stable but extremely fragile and unbalanced government and opposition will collapse one day.

"Therefore, whether it is the Zhang Party or the White Party, under the current situation of the Great Zhou, they dare not form a party. If one person has selfish intentions, the whole country will be overthrown. ”

Xiu Yan said: "As an official in the court, how can you be selfless." ”

Zhang Chuxin waved his sleeves, raised his arms and pointed around, and said: "The real ruler of a country, who is almost surrounded by four walls, what kind of selfishness can he have. ”

Xiu Yan said: "Perhaps, Shennong is his selfishness. ”

Zhang Chuxin smiled: "What about your selfishness?"

"Huh?"

"What do you want?"

Xiu Yan Shu smiled and said, "You." ”

Zhang Chuxin frowned with a look of disgust: "Crazy." ”

Xiu Yan said: "Let's go, go to my house." ”

Zhang Chuxin said: "What are you doing?"

Xiu Yanzhuo got up and pulled Zhang Chuxin, and said as he walked: "Help me write a couplet." ”

Zhang Chuxin was reluctantly pulled away by Xiu Yan and said, "Your family lacks couplets?"

Xiu Yan said: "There is no shortage now, it will be lacking soon." ”

Then he didn't say anything about it, but just pulled Zhang Chuxin out of the house. Zhang Chuxin struggled to shake off Xiu Yanzhuan: "I'll go by myself." ”

But they didn't know, or pretended not to know, as soon as the two left the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old Prime Minister Zhang Xufeng arrived home in the carriage of the General's Mansion, looked at their departing backs, and sighed softly.

That night, there was a lot of snow in Chang'an.

It's a weird ride, because it's too early.

This day is the twenty-second day of the seventh month.

In the next three days, Xiu Yan Lian never asked Zhang Chuxin to drink again, because it was on this snowy night that Guang Luqing used the special fast horse royal newspaper in the palace to notify Chang'anwei and the garrisons around the capital.

Three days later, Fu Yu, the god of war in Jialou, attacked Chang'an at night.

It was very clear in the spy report that it was a night attack. Although the source is unknown, there is Zhang Xufeng's seal on it, so no one doubts it.

Zhang Xufeng, who has been out of the mountain for nineteen years, has no last resort, compared to Bai Liyao, who is known as a greedy wolf, and is more in awe of the government and the opposition of the Great Zhou.

Yang Da Zhou, who is more intelligent than Zhang Xufeng, even if he has, he does not have the power to cover the sky with one hand. And the martial artist who is able to rival Bai Liyao, not to mention the earth immortal Shennong, is in front of Xiu Yan Shu, there is one.

"Do you want to play chess?" Nangong recalled Xiu Yanzhuan's gaze to look at Lu Dafu.

"No, it won't. "Xiu Yan said.

Nangong said: "I heard that you are a Confucian general. ”

Xiu Yan asked rhetorically: "Confucian generals are going to be able to play chess?"

Nangong stopped talking, his task here had been completed, he got up and said goodbye to Shennong, and walked away.

Xiu Yan Shu followed and said: "Throughout the Great Zhou, you have fought with the God of War of Jialou, but there are countermeasures. ”

Nangong said: "I haven't fought with him. ”

Xiu Yan said: "The spy report said that you demolished a shop with him yesterday. ”

Nangong said: "It's all a temptation, each with spare strength, I don't know the depth." ”

Xiu Yan said, "Didn't you come here today for the descendants of the Sword God?"

Nangong said: "Our Emperor His Majesty has gone out, if he doesn't ask our gang to make a move, how can I ask for it." ”

Xiu Yan said: "The earth immortal can't take a knife from Jialou?"

Nangong said: "Fu Yu is the symbol of Jialou, and it is the inheritance of luck given by the six sword gods for Jialou a hundred years ago. After all, our emperor is only an earth immortal, and there is still a line between him and the real immortal, how can he be able to compete with the national combat power that has been nourished by a country's luck for a hundred years. ”

He added: "What's more, Shennong may not be willing to make a move. ”

Xiu Yan said: "You can't stop the 200,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army and the 30,000 elite soldiers of my Chang'an Guard?"

Nangong stopped and turned to look at Xiu Yan and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid?"

Xiu Yan said with a smile: "It's not the first time you've seen it. ”

Nangong said: "Since you are pretending to be stupid, I will treat you as really stupid." If the whole country is going to resist the sword of Jialou, what should we do after that? If Jialou takes this opportunity to invade, and our emperor is in danger, how should we resist? After all, we don't have a national symbol. ”

Xiu Yan said: "Isn't there you?"

Nangong's expression turned cold and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Xiu Yan said, "What about your inheritance?"

Nangong changed his usual gentle and elegant face, his face was cold, like frost, and he said word by word:

"What do you know?"
