Chapter 196 Returning to the court

As soon as Gongsun Xuanxu stepped into the room, he asked: "Your prince, can you interfere in the court's Pang Ji, Fan Feng's dispute?"

Zhao Jin nodded and said, "That's right!"

Gongsun Xuanxu was anxious and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive! This seems to be a dispute between the two, but it actually affects the whole body. Needless to say, Fan Feng is supported by Gong Li. Although Pang Ji did not have any great support, he has always had the hope of the people in Bianliang. He was willing to make trouble, and the officials had to pay attention to one or two! There is no saying that anyone wins and who loses. This is a war to kill one thousand enemies and lose one hundred of them. Even if the winner wins, he will lose.”

Zhao Qian did not deny it, but instead showed his recognition and nodded and said, "What sir said makes a lot of sense, I agree with it!"

Now Gongsun Xuanxu was a little stunned, stunned for a moment, and then said with anger: "Master, is it a joke for me?"

No wonder Gongsun Xuanxu was angry. Since you, Zhao Qian, knowing this truth, and still interfering, what else can you get involved? The tenth ** will definitely not be able to stand your own chatter and use it to perfunctory words!

Zhao Qian hurriedly comforted him: "Sir, don't be angry!"

"Hmph!" Gongsun Xuanxu snorted coldly, without saying a word.

Zhao Jin explained: "Mr. I don't know the first and second about the political affairs in the officialdom. What Mr. I saw was the battle between Pang Zhuanyun and Fan Buzhi, and even saw the protection of Li Xianggong, but I didn't see the old man Lu Yijian sitting next to me watching the tiger fight."

Gongsun Xuanxu was stunned and said, "Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight? Why? Didn't Fan Buzhi have any old friends with Lu Tanfu? When Empress Guo was deposed, Fan Buzhi put in a lot of effort!"

Zhao Qian sneered, "How come I don't know? But you don't know that this old man Lu Yijian fooled Fan Buzhi. He recommended Fan Buzhi as the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion and the envoy of Quan Sansi, and asked Cheng Tianqiu to give way to him. Fan Buzhi was happy for a few days, and many officials below criticized this. Do you think if the old man Lu Yijian was not fanning the flames behind him, would the people below dare to do this?"

Gongsun Xuanxu was stunned and said half-believingly: "It shouldn't be possible! Even Lu Tanfu was criticized when he was deposed. Although he had the power of destroying the queen, most of my Song Dynasty were literati who were not afraid of death!"

Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "The problem is not this. The problem is that the Sixth Brother (Song Renzong) heard this! Otherwise, how could Fan Buzhi be a three-sector envoy for more than ten days? He was not clear about the matters in the three-sector envoy and was exempted from the three-sector envoy for illness? Even the direct scholar of the Longtu Pavilion became a scholar of the Longtu Pavilion! Only one word was missing, so I don't know how many ranks were missing and how much power was missing! Afterwards, Fan Buzhi was just given a comfort to the clerk in the office!"

Gongsun Xuanxu was not difficult to guess what happened next. After such a farce, Fan Feng was surprised that he did not make a fuss with Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian took advantage of him. Fan Feng was the first to charge, but he retreated from the Sansi Envoy in a hurry. In the end, he only won a consolation prize for the scholar Zhonghe Longtu Pavilion.

The scholar-in-law was very awesome in the Ming Dynasty, but in the early Song Dynasty, he was just a entrusted official! The scholar of Longtu Pavilion was also half a entrusted official. The emperor wanted you to do something, but the emperor didn’t miss you, so he just stayed in Longtu Pavilion to read newspapers and drink tea!

Even when he said this, Gongsun Xuanxu hesitated for a while, but still did not change his opinion. "After that being said, it's just that we are far away in Qingzhou, what can we do?"

Zhao Qian said two words lightly: "It is important to know!"

Gongsun Xuanxu was stunned and smiled bitterly: "It's not wise to be so stimulating Lu Tanfu!"

After all, Gongsun Xuanxu believed that Zhao Jin did not have enough strength to collide with Lu Yijian.

A bitterness flashed in Zhao Qian's eyes and said slowly: "There is no more help! How many old ministers are left in Ming Dao's support for the Sixth Brother in charge of the rule? Now only Li Di, Fan Feng and others are just struggling to support it! Although I have a rift with them, the biggest enemy is Lu Yijian. Just like during the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei relied on Jingzhou. Wasn't Sun Quan angry? Angry, but with Cao Cao, the great enemy, in front of him, all contradictions must be pressed!"

Gongsun Xuanxu turned his head and looked at a painting hanging on the wall. The picture of the Southern Tang ladies by Zhou Wenju, a famous Southern Tang master of the Five Dynasties, was silent and elegant. A bright moon on the moon silently revealed a bit of loneliness in the deep palace.

When he pretended to be watching and was not noticed, Gongsun Xuanxu couldn't help but sigh softly and murmured: "Prince, people are like the moon. You need to understand the way of fullness and lack, and you should not force it, otherwise you will be lonely!"

Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "Sir, don't know what I want!"

Yes, Zhao Qian was staying honestly, and Lu Yijian didn't have Zhao Qian's way. At most, he would cut his flesh with a dull knife and slowly cut off Zhao Qian's power, and eventually made Zhao Qian a idle prince. At most, he would let Zhao Qian go to another place to settle into a vassal. In the view of Gongsun Xuanxu, who was from the bottom of the class, this was also a good choice. Although he had no power, Zhao Qian's own money was enough to spend, not to mention that the current emperor could not afford to lose his own brothers.

On February 11, Zhao Jin submitted a memorial requesting to return to Beijing to work, and sent his personal soldiers to Bianliang City with one or three horses. Seventeen, Song Renzong's review also came back, and a simple reply was "accurate"!

…………

On the morning of the second year of Jingyou, on February 25, at Chenqiao Wharf outside Guangji Gate, Bianliang City.

On this day, just as the sky was bright, the yamen runners from Kaifeng Prefecture and the soldiers of the imperial guards came to clear the ground. Dozens of yamen runners in soap clothes were viciously holding water and fire sticks to disperse the coolies and merchants near the wharf. Even several merchant ships were ordered to be moored in the reeds to the west, and the entire wharf was empty.

The Song people were rich and idly. Seeing this, many sluts came over to join in the fun. However, they soon discovered something was wrong, and even the imperial guards sent a city of troops. The imperial guards and the yamen runners have completely different concepts.

If the yamen runners are equivalent to civilian jing, then the martial jing is the village soldier, the garrison army is the wing soldiers, and the imperial guards are the field soldiers! That's fine, all the knowledgeable lieutenants discovered that the imperial guards who came were not the external imperial guards, but the internal imperial guards! The fierce and fierce army!

The inner imperial guards, Ban Zhi, were responsible for garrisoning the palace. They could not be driven by the Privy Council without the orders of the current emperor.

"There are so many people coming from this group. Who are they here? With such a big show, would it be the foreign minister who returned to the court?" Some tycoon couldn't help but guess.

As soon as these words were spoken, a merchant immediately sneered: "I don't have any knowledge! If the foreign minister returned to the court, it would be more than the imperial guards. The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and all the doctors came to greet them, and there was only Ban Zhi there."

There was a lot of discussion for a while, some people said that it was the envoy of the Liao people. However, some people refuted that no one from the Ministry of Rites came, so how could it be the scholar of the Liao Kingdom?

No matter how the people talked about it, the imperial guards blocked an empty space like a wall. After a while, a carriage surrounded by dozens of followers arrived. The carriage was very low-key, and there was a green robe in the carriage without needing a middle-aged man.

The emperor's knowledge was naturally no better than other places. The onlookers could immediately see that the person was a famous eunuch. So they all said that it might be that the family of a noble family had come to Bianliang. But someone immediately refuted that the noble family could command the yamen runners in Kaifeng City?

Since Pang Ji was a judge in Kaifeng Prefecture and beat the eunuch stick sent by Shang Meiren, no Kaifeng Prefecture official dared to open a back door for the harem. Aren't they afraid of death?

With the moral commanding heights set by Pang Ji, once this matter was discovered, Qingliu immediately scolded him. Not to mention how many memorials were submitted, the spit alone was enough to spit the official's face.

While speaking, someone came again. This time, he was not in a carriage, but in an official sedan chair. The yamen runners who were opening the road held high plaques such as "Silent" and "Avoidance". There were two entourage entourages on the left and right. As soon as they saw this posture, they knew they were high-ranking officials.

The person in the official sedan got out of the sedan chair and immediately recognized it. There was a bit of uncontrollable surprise in his voice. "It's Cheng Tianqiu, the commander of the Sansi! Cheng Xianggong!"

"Who is the person coming? Even Mr. Cheng came to greet him in person!"

Although the Sansi Envoy was strictly not considered prime minister, the Sansi Envoy had too much power, even more than some prime ministers in the court. Officials who served as the Sansi Envoy were generally given the title of honor of the minister. (In the Song Dynasty, only the prime minister could be honored in this way.)

"Look! Li Guojiu is here too!" Although Li Yonghe was low-key, he could not resist his status as a noble person. Some merchants have always wanted to go through his path. No! As soon as the man got out of the carriage, he was immediately recognized by the merchants.

"I didn't expect that the people of the country are so proud!" Cheng Lin, the envoy of the three officials, met Li Yonghe and joked.

Although Li Yonghe was old, he could still see that he must have been a handsome man when he was young. He patted the sky blue se casual clothes on his body and smiled bitterly: "It's just some merchants! What people's expectations are there? It's just a plan to control the finances of my Song Dynasty. More people want to get close to you!"

Cheng Lin laughed, knowing that it would be useless to say more on this topic. He changed the topic and said: "The King of Changsha has been on Jingdong East Road for more than two years, but has not returned to the position of Chaoxi. This time he suddenly proposed to return to the position of Chaoxi. Does the uncle know what it is for?"

Li Yonghe was used to being low-key. He didn't even know, even if he knew, he wouldn't be arrogant. He smiled and said perfunctorily: "Where can we elders care about our children and nephews? But I think that the King of Changsha is probably missing his relatives!"

Cheng Lin sneered at this. Who is Zhao Jin? Cheng Lin and he spent more than half a year together on Jingdong East Road. How could they not know? Missing relatives? How could they be?

Before Cheng Lin could come up with a cliché topic, someone else had already come to the other end.

Without turning around, Cheng Lin had already got the answer from the discussions of the people watching nearby. "Wow! It was actually from Tianbo Mansion, the literati and officials in the palace, and the generals. Who had such a wide range of friends?"

Cheng Lin frowned slightly for some reason. Although it quickly unfolded, the action just now seemed to be no longer there. Li Yonghe, who was next to Cheng Lin, had a flash of inattention in his eyes, and he looked at the Guangji River, which seemed to be covered with golden scales, thinking about it. (To be continued.
