However, it was said that the Son of Heaven was in Jianzhang Hall to discuss war and peace, and Dazai Zhang Bangchang and Privy Council Secretary Tang Ke both said that it was appropriate and not suitable for war.

Suddenly, Li Gangjuan, a member of the Pingzhang Department of the Zhongshu Sect, said: "Your Majesty, the words of the two adults Zhang and Tang are very inappropriate, misleading the country and the people, and bewitching Shengcong. If our dynasty does not fight with peace, the Jin army will definitely think that there is no one in our Great Song Dynasty who can fight, and even more will become Bengali extortion. The Jin people are barbaric Tartars, and they are not accustomed to kinghood, so it is not appropriate to simply talk to them. Even if you want to make peace, you must first raise troops and fight.

Now the Jin army is advancing all the way south, deep into our territory. It is advisable to choose generals and go north to fight. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting!"

The waiter Xu Churen said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhang said is the best. Now that the Jin army has penetrated deep into our realm, it is a good time to fight. Your Majesty can summon the whole world, and order all localities to raise troops to fight the Jin army, and the victory or defeat is unknown!"

Cai You, the left minister, said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhang said is deeply wrong Your Majesty. If we raise a large army, it will inevitably shake the whole country and consume money and food. The domestic insurrectionary forces will also take advantage of the opportunity. Lord Zhang's words are suspected of moving the Great Song Dynasty, and I hope Your Majesty will judge!"

Tang Ke replied: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cai's words are true. The Jin army marched south in a big way, just to get more benefits from our dynasty. If His Majesty had promised to make more contributions, the Jin people would have stopped the southern expedition. One can avoid the resurgence of the army, and the soldiers of our dynasty will not suffer from the war. Second, it can ensure the tranquility of the Quartet and reduce the cost of food. The soldiers of the Quartet will be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness!"

The privy envoy Xu Han said: "Your Majesty, Tang Ke's words are a child's opinion. From ancient times to the present, the Li Dynasty and the Li Dynasty have never heard of anyone who can retreat from the enemy without a fight. The Jin people are now advancing all the way to the south. It's not that our dynasty can't resist, but Your Majesty is surrounded by cowardly people like rats and flattering ministers. The minister thought that His Majesty should speak widely. Listen to the soldiers.

If Your Majesty only listens to the words of treachery, and blindly seeks peace, and does not prepare for war. The Jin army will definitely become more arrogant, and the extortion from our dynasty will definitely increase exponentially. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Zhang Gang said: "Lord Xu's words are true!"

Tang Ke said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu dares to refer to us as sycophants in court, and bewitch the saints! I hope that Your Majesty will punish him and correct the court!"

Cai You recited: "Lord Xu regards the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs as nothing. It is advisable to expel him from the court in order to secure the government!"

Xu Han was furious when he heard this, pointing out to Tang Ke and Cai You and saying: "You are all cowardly people. I only know that blindly seeking peace and burying my great rivers and mountains is a person who has committed a lot of sins in my dynasty. What other face stands above the court?"

Anritsu is on the side, and he is the main battle faction. But because of the threat of Tang Ke. Not a word was said from beginning to end.

When the Son of Heaven saw that the ministers were either in peace or in battle, he could not make a decision, so he had to temporarily order a retreat from the dynasty and then discuss. The ministers retreated.

An Li was returning to the house, thinking about Tang Ke's words. I suddenly heard that Li Jue, the speaker of the Privy Council, was visiting.

An Lizheng knew that Li Jue was a protégé of Tang Ke, and he was close to Cai You and others in the court, and he was a traitor. It is expected that Li Jue must have come here to pass the word on behalf of Tang Ke. Naisi said: "Wu'er was impeached by traitors, and now the handle is in the hands of Tang Ke. Tang Kezhi is also treacherous. I don't know if there is any conspiracy to harm me, I will see Li Jue before I speak, and see how Li Jue speaks, and I will pay attention to it!" Then he instructed the housekeeper Li Chengrui to bring Li Jue into the living room.

Li Chengrui came to the door and saw Li Jue coming in an official robe. Nai stepped forward and arched his hand, saying: "Lord Li came to the cold house, we did not welcome us from afar, and I ask Lord Li to forgive me!"

Li Jue said: "I have taken the liberty to come here today, and I am disturbed a lot! I don't know if Master An is here?"

Li Chengrui said: "My master is in the study, and he will be there later! Lord Li, please come with me!"

Li Jue followed Li Chengrui to the living room of Anfu, and Li Jue entered the living room and sat in the guest seat. After a while, the servant offered tea. Li Jue picked up the teacup and took a sip. Li Jue got up and arched his hand, saying: "Lord An! The lower officials have come to visit the door unexpectedly, and there will be a lot of disturbances, please forgive me!"

An Lizheng said: "Lord Li, don't be polite! I don't know why Li Da came?"

Li Jue didn't answer when he heard this, but his eyes were left and right. An Lizheng understood, so he said to the servants: "You wait to retreat!"

When everyone heard this, they all avoided it.

Li Jue saw that all his subordinates had retreated, so he said: "Lord An! The lower officials are here for nothing else, but are specially entrusted by the Privy Council, Lord Tang Ke, to come to your mansion to propose marriage."

Lord Tang has a son named Tang Gui, who has reached the age of marriage and has not yet married. Lord Tang has long heard that Lord An has a daughter under his knees, with a dignified appearance and talent. I want to be my daughter-in-law! Both of you and your family are the first and auxiliary ministers of the imperial court, and they are the right people. If the adults agree to this marriage, it will definitely be a beautiful conversation for the ages! I don't know what the adults think?"

An Lizheng was furious when he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that he had a handle in Tang Ke's hands, he would have expelled Li Jue from the mansion a long time ago. But at this time, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, for fear of offending Tang Ke, and there would be endless troubles. Then he pretended to be a little thoughtful, and said to Li Jue: "The marriage of children is not a child's play, and let it take three or five days, let me discuss with my wife first, and then reply!

It's just because Li Jue was only transferred to Beijing in March this year, and he didn't know that Tang Ke had already asked someone to come to Anfu last year to propose his relatives. It's only because An Lizheng doesn't allow it to be over.

Tang Ke asked Li Jue to propose marriage again this time, because he had mastered An Lizheng's handle, and it was expected that An Lizheng would not dare to disallow it this time. Therefore, he entrusted Li Jue as a matchmaker and came to the door to propose.

Li Jue heard that An Lizheng's words were reasonable at this time, so he said: "What Lord An said is very true, and the marriage of children should be properly discussed! The lower officials will retire for the time being, and come back at another date!"

An Lizheng arched his hand and said: "Master Li, go slowly, don't send it!"

Li Jue also said goodbye. Back to the Privy Council, he will say to Tang Ke. Tang Ke said: "Then in three days, please ask Lord Li to go to the Anfu again, if Lord Li can say this, I will definitely be grateful!"

Li Jue said: "To do things for adults, the officials are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, how dare you thank you! ”

Tang Ke was overjoyed when he heard this. I thought in my heart: "An Lizheng, An Lizheng! Your daughter has hurt my son so much, if it weren't for my infatuation with your daughter, I'm afraid I would have even hugged my grandson!"

It turned out that Tang Ke's son Tang Gui was a gentleman, who did not learn and did not know how to eat, drink, gamble, and spend all day drinking. I also like to make friends with three religions and nine streams, and the market is a scoundrel. often calls brothers and sisters with scoundrels in the market, and gets drunk in the spring building. Relying on the power of his family, he often robbed the people's daughters in the capital, doing all kinds of evil, causing the local people to suffer unspeakably. Some people sued him to the government. The government was also afraid of Tang Ke's power in the court, and did not dare to impose criminal punishment on Tang Gui. Tang Gui then gained an inch and became even more unscrupulous in the capital! His reputation was no less than that of Lord Yi in the capital for a while.

In the first year of Jingkang, in March, Tang Gui and the market scoundrel Zhang Nan and Zhao went to the spring pavilion in the west of the city.

The Spring Pavilion is a place to play and sightsee in the west of the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the people are outstanding. The cypress is interdependent, and the grass is overgrown.

Tang Gui and the other three walked all the way, only to see the grass sprouts, full of vitality, and nature was full of vitality.

The three of them came to the Spring Pavilion, and suddenly saw two girls in a pavilion behind the Spring Pavilion, with a very good posture and lovely color. Tang Gui took advantage of the excitement for a while, and his lewd sex was great. The two of them said, "Do you know who is in the pavilion over there?"

Zhang Nan and Zhao Fu looked at the inside of the small pavilion behind them when they heard this, and said with great joy: "The two girls over there are rare beauties, and Tang Gongzi is very blessed today!"

Tang Gui said: "Wouldn't it be wonderful for you two to go over first and make a hello and bring the two beauties over there to visit this spring pavilion with us?"

Zhang Nanzhao went to the two of them and saw that the two girls over there were dressed beautifully and looked very good. It is expected that the two girls are not the daughters of powerful officials, but also the daughters of rich families, which are extremely inconsistent with their identities. It is said that Tang Gui said: "The two of us are lowly and far from those two girls. If you want to invite those two girls to visit this spring pavilion together, you still need the son to go out in person!"

When Tang Gui heard this, he said: "What you and the two of you said is very true, this son will definitely be able to succeed when he goes out!" After saying that, he got up and went to the back pavilion.

Tang Gui held a paper fan in his hand and walked along. When he entered the pavilion, he saw that the two girls were the master and the servant. The servant stood beside him, and the young lady sat on a stone table. I saw that the young lady was wearing a purple and gold hairpin and a silk feather coat, with a beautiful face and lovely spring. Tang Gui was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he was lucky. Then he stepped forward and said, "Let's ask Miss your surname Fang, where does your family live? Sitting lonely here, it is better to enjoy the spring with you, what is it?"

Seeing that Tang Gui's face was full of lewdness, the maid came to tease the young lady, and said angrily in her heart: "Who are you?

Tang Gui said: "The next surname is Tang, and a single name is a noble character." My father is the first assistant of the dynasty, Tang Ke, and the official worships the Privy Council!"

The maid said: "It turns out that the son is Tang Gui, who is famous in the capital?"

Tang Gui still didn't hear the maid's ridicule at this time, but it was the maid's compliment to himself, so he said: "Exactly!"

Seeing this, the young lady thought in her heart: "This person is from a famous family, and now he is a scoundrel in the market, and he does not understand etiquette at all, and he is humiliating to his family today." Then he hurriedly got up and said to the maid, "It is getting late, and we should go home." With that, he walked out of the pavilion with the maid. (To be continued......)
