The Yuehua Hall of Prince Jian's Mansion was extremely noisy.
Sitting at the top is Zhao Si, sitting at the bottom left is Zeng Baohua, Changsun Moli, Wang Zhen, Gao Shixuan and Hu Luxiong.
Sitting on the lower right are Pan Yi, Gao Shize, Cao Duo, Wei Baoqing and Bai Chonghu.
Everyone was listening to Gao Shize's narration with dancing joy.
Gao Erlang is the great-nephew of Empress Xuanren Shenglie, Gao Niangniang, and Zhao Si's childhood friend. At that time, he served as the head of the Zuoban Palace.
"We were all shocked when we heard Thirteenth Lang scolding Zhang Dun in Chui Gong Hall. We couldn't help but stretched out our heads to look inside. Oh my God. Zhang Dun was so angry that his long beard spread out. It was really
Like a male lion, Thirteenth Lang showed no sign of weakness and waved his fists, almost hitting Zhang Dun in the face."
At this time, Pan Yi interjected, "I like the sentence Thirteenth Lang scolded Zhang Dun the most, "Old Coffin Laozi."
Everyone burst out laughing.
Pan Qilang was Zhao Si's other childhood friend and his soon-to-be brother-in-law. He was the Chongban of the Inner Palace at the time.
While Zhao Si was arguing with Zhang Dun, Gao Shize and Pan Yi were on duty outside Chui Gong Hall.
"...Zhang Dun hit Thirteenth Lang on the head with a wat board. Thirteenth Lang was not polite. He took off his boots and hit Zhang Dun right in the chest." Gao Shize rolled up his clothes as he spoke.
Shou said, "...It's really enjoyable. We have been on duty for so long, and we have never seen anything so exciting."
"That is, those civil servants are all arrogant, as if the world is under their control. They usually impeach this and scold that in the palace. Even our palace commander, the commander-in-chief, is criticized in the palace.
They scolded and scolded them, and they were no better than slaves and lackeys." Pan Yi said angrily.
Cao Duo echoed from the side: "These bookworms are talking shamelessly about Donghua Gate's roll call, which is far better than Le Shi Yanran, sealing the wolf to live in Xu. Zhi Niang's thieves, the country of the Song Dynasty, is the sword of our generals."
What was beaten down was not what these bastards sang on the Donghua Gate."
"Well said!" Everyone roared in agreement.
"Today Thirteenth Prince was very happy in the Chui Gong Hall and made us feel bad! The gentlemen of the right and left classes asked me to give Thirteenth Lang a drink..."
As soon as Gao Shize finished speaking, Wei Baoqing stood up and continued speaking while holding up his wine glass.
"There are also the princes in front of the palace and the guards of Sima Bu and other armies. They also call me, and I would like to give a toast to the Thirteenth Prince!"
"Drink together! Thirteenth Lang breathed out a bad breath on behalf of us military ministers! It's very satisfying!"
Cao Duo raised his wine glass and shouted loudly.
"Okay! Thank you all the gentlemen for me. Let's all have a drink together!" Zhao Si held the wine glass and drank it all with everyone.
After drinking the wine in one gulp, everyone exhaled a long breath in unison, looked at each other, and laughed heartily.
An hour later, Pan Yiwai was wearing a soft-footed headdress, walking with his feet in a staggering Big Dipper Step, and said in his mouth, "Brothers, let's go to punch the Hanlin Academy, kick the National History Museum, and call these books
The bugs are pretty good-looking.”
Gao Shize, whose face was red and giggled a few times before speaking, shook his head and said: "Hey hey hey... it's not enough, let's go to Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, which are the nests of bookworms."
If we get it together, we will definitely be remembered in history."
"Okay, okay, gather all the troops and we'll kill them right now!"
The two hugged each other and walked out of the door crookedly, and soon their high-pitched voices were no longer heard.
"Your Highness, Pan Qilang and Gao Erlang were both drunk and fell asleep soundly. They were escorted back to the mansion by their companions." Li Fang came in and reported.
"Okay." Zhao Si's face was red, and his breath smelled of alcohol as he spoke.
Cao Duo, Wei Baoqing, Bai Chonghu, Wang Zhen, Gao Shixuan, and Hu Luxiong had much better drinking capacity. After drinking about the same amount of wine, they were not in the state of talking nonsense like Pan and Gao.
Seeing that it was getting late, several people all said goodbye one by one.
Soon, only Zhao Si, Zeng Baohua and Changsun Moli were left in the Linhua Hall.
The latter two knew that they were not good drinkers, so they simply did not drink much.
The three of them washed their faces and sat down to drink tea slowly.
"Thirteenth Master, you are scolding and fighting with Xianggong Zhang in the palace. There is a lot of criticism outside. I heard that a group of people from the Imperial Academy are planning to jointly impeach you."
"A bunch of shameless literati who want to lick Zhang Dun's ass." Zhao waved his hand indifferently, "My reputation among literati, no matter how hard I try, I can't overtake Brother Eleven."
"However, there has been a rumor in the market recently that His Royal Highness Duan Wang is the reincarnation of Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he is here to avenge the country's subjugation. 'Eleventh Lord, Bao Mu is dead'. The words are so conclusive that the officials, soldiers and civilians are talking about it. Prince Duan's Mansion
While secretly tracing the source of the information, we held intensive cultural meetings and invited celebrities to try to save the situation."
Changsun Moli looked at Zhao Si as he spoke.
Zhao said nonchalantly: "Brother Eleven is busy with his business, and we are busy with our own. The generals of the Western Army and the three thousand tribes will be in Beijing soon. This is our top priority."
"I know, I have made preparations. Mr. Ji Zhong is there to clean up and check." Zeng Baohua was still a little worried and started nagging, "Thirteenth Master, I don't think it's worth it for you to fall out with Mr. Zhang."
Changsun Moli said: "Brother Maoming, you still haven't realized Thirteenth Lang's good intentions."
Zeng Baohua was stunned, "What kind of good intentions?"
"If I want to gain more power, I must reassure the emperor and let him know that I will not collude with the civil servants." Zhao Si said quietly.
Zeng Baohua opened his mouth slightly and was speechless for a long time.
My brother-in-law has such a meticulous mind and such a profound city. I couldn't see it at all before. He is really pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
"Your Highness, Zhang Shangying is here to visit?" A chamberlain came in to report.
"Zhang Shangying from Zhongshushe?" Zhao Si's eyes lit up, "Please come in quickly."
The eldest grandson, Moli, pulled Zeng Baohua up and said, "Thirteenth Master, let's get out of the way first."
"You just go next door and listen together."
"good."
Zhang Shangying is tall, tall and has an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, she looks like a gentleman.
"Your Majesty, Zhang is sorry for disturbing me late at night." Zhang Shangying said politely.
"Mr. Tianjue, you're too polite. But Xiao Wang's place is in a mess. It's too late to clean it up, but it's rude."
At this time, Zhao Si was gentle and elegant, completely different from the roaring and angry bear in Chui Gong Hall. Zhang Shangying was a little surprised and realized in his heart that he had a little more confidence in his visit tonight.
After sitting down, Zhang Shangying spoke first: "I heard that the birthday gift presented to the Qingshou Palace by the King was the Diamond Sutra written with blood by Zen Master Luo Yin."
"Exactly." Zhao Si replied with a smile.
"When Empress Xiang was young, she fainted for several days for unknown reasons. Famous doctors were at a loss. Thanks to Zen Master Yin, who recited the Diamond Sutra ten times, Empress Xiang's three souls and six souls were restored to their original position. From then on, Empress Xiang was
Be sincere and respectful to Buddha.”
Zhang Shangying talked about this past event calmly and calmly, "Not many people know about this matter, but it is known to the king. Your Highness must be attentive."
Zhao Si laughed, "Brother Huang always praises me and says that my greatest advantage is being sincere to others."
Zhang Shangying also smiled and echoed, "Indeed, your Majesty treats others with sincerity, only then can you be sincere. And your Majesty takes into account the feelings of brothers and sisters, which is praised by the world."
Zhao Si smiled coldly in his heart, the love between brothers and sisters, I have been framed by my brothers and sisters many times before, and I wish I could just cut off my hands and feet.
On the surface, he remained calm and continued to listen to what Zhang Shangying said.
Seeing Zhao Si's indifferent expression, Zhang Shangying went straight to the topic.
"The remonstrator He Yuntao wrote a memorial to impeach King Duan Zhao Ji. On a certain day of a certain month, somewhere, he mentioned that the literary world is withering now, and he sighed deeply... It is really a false discussion of the government, and he is resentful for it."
Hearing this, Zhao Si looked at Zhang Shangying and asked, "Why did Mr. Tianjue read this impeachment memorial to me?"
"I'm afraid that if our brothers are of the same mind, there will be unnecessary misunderstandings."
Zhao Si laughed and said, "Mr. Tianjue is overly worried. I am a law-abiding person and will never bend the law for personal gain. The remonstrator's duty is to be justified and well-founded. Even if I am impeached, I will accept it honestly."
Zhang Shangying also laughed and said, "Your Majesty is really a role model for the clan and a pillar of the imperial court. That's it, we already know it. It's getting late and I don't dare to disturb you for too long. I'll take my leave!"
"Thank you Mr. Tianjue for your advice. Xiao Wang will send you off to Mr. Wang."
"That's it, Mr. Li, please send Mr. Tianjue off for Xiao Wang."
After the two said goodbye in a friendly manner, Zhao Si returned to the hall, sat down and smiled dumbly, "These civil servants are really a bunch of politicians."
Zeng Baohua flew in like a tomato and couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on? Zhang Xiang, who is bound to retaliate, actually swallowed his anger and married the thirteenth son with a formal ceremony?"
"Brother Maoming, first of all, the Zhang Party is not Zhang Dun's party. This party went to Cai Yuandu (Cai Bian) and has been severely damaged. In the Chui Gong Palace, the Thirteenth Lang denounced Prime Minister Zhang and was safe and sound, which made the Zhang Party even worse."
"There is Prime Minister Zeng nearby, and the Xu officials are aggressive; far away there is Lu Jifu, and Fan Cigong is eyeing him. If Zhang Dang still has a bad relationship with Thirteenth Prince, and fights in front of the palace a few more times, Zhang Dang will fall apart."
After listening to Changsun Moli's words, Zeng Baohua suddenly realized.
Zhao Si was originally known as the reckless Thirteenth Prince, and he had the protection of the officials. It would be okay to roll around in the Chui Gong Hall. But if he got the chance, he would catch Zhang Dun, or Li Qingchen, Huang Fu and other Zhang Party backbones.
Party members will be discredited if they scold and fight each other in front of the palace.
The remonstrators and censors would swarm in and expel them from the court with impeachment memorials.
A good man never suffers immediate losses.
He lowered his face and secretly made amends with King Jian to eliminate any future troubles, and then prepared to deal with Zeng Dang and Lu Huiqing and Fan Chunren who were about to enter the capital.
"Killing two birds with one stone!" Zeng Baohua was also smart and quickly realized the intention behind Zhang Dang's move. "Everyone said that Thirteenth Lang fell into the water in Jinmingchi and it was the Eleventh Lang's fault. Previously, Thirteenth Lang was between the government and the public.
Shi Yilang is also involved in many of the criticisms."
"Everyone with a discerning eye knows the inside story. By impeaching the Eleventh Lang, Zhang's Party can not only sell well with the Thirteenth Lang, repair the relationship, but also save the face of Prime Minister Zhang in Chui Gong Palace. If they can't deal with King Jian, they can.
King Duan, Zhang Party’s strength is still there.”
The three of them laughed at the same time.
Amid laughter, Zhao Si said coldly: "So I say, no matter how noble these civil servants pretend to be, they are still politicians after all! In that case, it's easy to say." This chapter has been completed!
