Forty-seven, the sad reminder of Kou Laoxi
Another day passed, it was New Year's Eve. Liang Feng and Xiaochang got up early in the morning, and everyone in the family got up early, and they were busy with their own work. Liang Feng thought the spring card was too old-fashioned, so he took a piece of red paper, cut it into four directions, folded the sharp corners in half, and pulled Xiaochang over, and wrote a big word "Fu" on the paper.
For a moment, Caiyun Caiping came over and went to the room to hold the Spring Festival couplets, the door god and waited for it. As soon as she entered the yard, Lai Fu and Uncle Yong hurriedly took out the paste they had cooked yesterday, and according to Liang Feng's instructions, the Spring Festival couplets were pasted one by one. She brought a pair of big red lanterns and hung them high outside the door.
Occasionally, people passing by saw the house hanging red lanterns, with the character "Fu" and the Spring Festival couplets on both sides. They were very surprised. In the past, they had seen the spring peach talisman, but this house was novel and unique, and very interesting.
Uncle Yong set up a ancestral worship position and various sacrificial fruits in the second hall. Liang Feng took the lead and together with Xiao Chang, the three of them burned incense and wine to the ancestors of the Liang family and kowtowed to sacrifice. After they came out, the kitchen had prepared a glutinous rice dumpling garden, and the whole family happily ate it.
Liang Feng looked at Qian Xiaoyi and his wife, and suddenly realized that Li Xuan's brother Li Yuan was celebrating the New Year alone at this time. He ignored the rules and ordered Yong Shu and Lai Fu to invite Li Yuan over and ask everyone to live with him. He also felt that the man was probably a man who was greedy for face and might not agree, so he asked Qian Xiaoyi to take Li Xuan with him, and he must invite his brother-in-law, otherwise they would stay there for the New Year.
Li Xuan was moved and felt that although this little master did not follow the rules, he was thinking about others everywhere. He was sad that his brother was alone in the New Year, so he arranged it! He hurriedly thanked Liang Feng with tears in his eyes and went out with Qian Xiaoyi. When he arrived at the Li family, the four of them persuaded him and finally dragged Li Yuan to the Liang family.
In the evening, the lights were on, and the New Year's Eve dinner was already prepared in the main hall. The tables were made by Xiao Chang, who led Qian Mama Song Ma and Li Xuan. They were all made by both color, fragrance and taste. Liang Feng's index finger was shaking, and he kept praising Xiao Chang for making great progress and opening a restaurant. In just a few months, Xiao Chang has matured a lot and is no longer shy at all times. But today is the first time the couple celebrates the New Year, and they are happy in their hearts. When they hear the husband praise him so much, they are still shy.
Liang Feng told everyone not to be polite, and everyone sat around a large table. Liang Feng started by Li Yuan, Uncle Yong, Qian Xiaoyi, Lai Fu, and Xiao Chang was Li Xuan, Cai Yuncaiping, Song Ma, Qian Ma, and eleven people sat full. According to the rules, women could not sit at the same table with men, and they had to serve the men and eat after dinner before they could eat. But how could Liang Feng care about these things and insisted that everyone sit down together and celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.
Qian Mama and Song Mama are old and want to persevere, but Liang Feng and Xiaochang have to sit down because they insist.
At first, everyone was polite and toasted each other to celebrate the New Year. Gradually, the men ate and couldn't help but become noisy. The boxing was so lively. Liang Feng was also a master, and he was playing tricks from time to time. He did something like "Just 5, Chacha 7" and so on. The Song people were much more honest. No one noticed his scruples, and he actually got a lot of stuffed into him. Liang Feng grinned proudly.
At this time, the imperial palace, not far from the Liang family, was a different scene.
The royal family of Zhao has never been too extravagant. This year, Zhao Heng was in poor health. Although it was the Chinese New Year, many etiquettes were exempted. In addition to the officials who rewarded all officials, he searched for it. He just lit up a few more headlights and prepared some special firecrackers and other items. When it was midnight, the queen led the concubines and others to offer a stick to the official family (that was later obtained dumplings), finished eating randomly, and set off a firecracker to make the matter. This is probably the case.
In order to prevent emergency affairs, the court also adopted a system of having to be on duty on major holidays. The shifts had been scheduled long ago, and tonight was King Zeng of Dongfu, and Qian Weiyan of Xifu each brought a group of Cao officials on duty.
The east and west mansions are not on the same place, and they often change. But they are not far apart. Tonight, the king was in Jiying Hall, and Qian Weiyan was in Longtu Pavilion.
At this time, Qian Weiyan was sitting in the small warm room waiting for the news he wanted. After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of running away from outside. A confidant came in and possessed Qian Weiyan and said a few words. After hearing this, Lao Qian showed a smile on his face. He got up and tidied up his clothes, calling two officials Cao and said, "It's almost time to be young, I'm bored. Let's go to the East Mansion to greet my grandson Xiao Wang!" He also ordered the rest of his life to stand by, so he went to Jiying Palace with his belly.
Wang Zeng was reading books in Jiying Hall and was trying to kill time. When he heard Cao officials outside report that it was Qian Weiyan coming to pay New Year's greetings, he hurriedly packed his clothes and stood up to greet him. Old Qian came in with a spring breeze on his face. The two quickly congratulated each other on New Year's Day. The people below offered tea and sat down to chat.
Although Wang Zeng doesn't like to be close to Qian Weiyan on weekdays, he has to force himself to talk to him during the Chinese New Year. However, Qian Weiyan is knowledgeable and talented. Wang Zeng Sanyuan and Di are all knowledgeable here. Even if he is patient and bullshit, it is still very interesting. As the two of them talk, they get into the alley.
It is already past the Hai Dynasty. In previous years, the officials would give them trunks, wine, food and other items to the officials on duty. They often add a few coins or pieces of silk and other pieces of silk to comfort these comrades who are staying at their posts. It is about to come, and the officials Cao stretched their necks and looked at them.
After a while, there were indeed a few yellow gates, but they were empty-handed and walked towards Jiying Hall with a serious expression, standing at the door and saying, "There is a sage."
Wang Zeng hurriedly came out of the hall to receive the order. Since it was not given to Longtu Pavilion, Qian Weiyan sat inside and didn't come out, but could hear clearly "When Wang Zeng met you." After that, he turned around and left.
Wang Zeng hurriedly took the tablet, sued Qian Weiyan and went straight toward him.
In Funing Hall, Zhao Heng sat sideways in plain clothes with a serious expression. Wang Zeng entered the hall and paid homage to the official family. Zhao Heng said slowly: "Xiaoxian, why did all officials disappear from Kou Pingzhong's congratulations this year? Do you know?"
Wang Zeng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I don't know, I am not responsible for this year's congratulations."
"Then I'm here to ask you, where is Kou Pingzhong now?" Zhao Heng said in a deep voice.
"Report to the official, Kou Pingzhong should be in Daozhou now."
After hearing this, Zhao Heng slapped the table and said angrily: "Why? Why don't I know?"
Wang Zeng was not panicked when he heard this, and just slowly told Zhao Heng that Kou Zhun was demoted to Daozhou.
Kou Zhun is a person with real skills and true nature. He just left no room for speaking and doing things, and offended many people. The most powerful of them was Ding Wei. Back then, Kou Zhun was dismissed from prime minister, but Ding Wei was too experienced and could not sit firmly in the top leader at that time, so he had to submit Kou Zhun as the chief minister. Zhao Heng ordered Ding Wei's proposal and transferred Kou Zhun back to the center. What was originally a good thing was ruined by his Kou Laoxi's bad temper.
One day, it was probably the mid-year summary meeting that the important officials in the court gathered together for dinner. As Kou Laoxi's deputy, Ding Wei, of course, had to sit next to him. At that time, everyone was eager to have a big beard. Whoever had a long beard and had more beards would appear to be older and easier to get promoted. Back then, I was very cautious about the promotion of young cadres, unlike now where people born in the 1980s are always doing things like department-level cadres. So everyone pays great attention to protecting their beards.
Prime Minister Kou probably was happy, but he didn't notice that some vegetable soup was dipped on his beard. When Ding Wei saw it, he stood up enthusiastically and stretched out his sleeves to wipe the beard clean for the leader. This matter was not big at all. If someone flattered him, it would be harmless. Didn't you say that the kitchen knife would not be chopped up? Haha, but Kou Laoxi's kitchen knife was about to be chopped up. The old man actually made fun of him in front of so many senior cadres, half ridiculed and scolded: "Oh, hey, I can't tell it. You are a deputy prime minister, and you are flattering for the leader? Haha, haha!"
Look at what you said, isn’t that slapping people in the face? From then on, Chinese people have an idiom called “flattering and slapping”. Ding Wei, who is so arrogant, is really from Ganggang! Not only does it remain calm, but it also laughs with laughter. But as soon as I got home, I took a few handfuls of antihypertensive drugs to recover. This is the end!
Later something happened, which closely linked Ding Wei and Empress Liu E: Kou Zhun discussed with Yang Yi that the emperor was probably seriously ill and said that he could not let the queen interfere in politics. Or say hello to the emperor and draft a document for the prince's reign. Let us help the prince? As soon as the two of them decided, they found their leader Zhao Heng and told them about this. Zhao Heng basically agreed, but they had not yet made a clear attitude. They were both anxious and began to draft the document.
It is estimated that Yang Yi is also a big mouth. He is about to be the minister of the government, and he is a little happy. When he comes home, he tells his wife about this. His wife is also a big mouth. When he hears that his husband is going to accomplish something, he is a little happy. When he turns around, he says he gives his younger brother Zhang Yan. Her wife and brother Zhang Yan is also a big mouth. When he hears that his brother-in-law is going to be developed, he tells his friends the world when he goes back to drink, and his chest is slapping loudly: "From the future, you can talk if you have something to do!"
The incident reached Liu E's ears. When Liu E heard this, her bust became angry and she was so angry that she said: "Okay, you old Kou Xier, last time we went to our Sichuan relatives to commit some small things, you are unwilling to forgive me, I have no time to handle the ball. This time you are going to plot against me? I will never end up with you!"
So he ran to Zhao Heng to complain, saying that Kou Laoxi was domineering and arrogant, and did not know how to avoid taboos. Before the government announced the decision, he dared to print out documents first to threaten the leader. This is a crime of usurpation!
Zhao Heng was very uncomfortable when he complained. He thought to himself, Comrade Kou, why are you so restless? I haven't agreed yet, why are you clamoring all over the world? So he issued an order to stop the prefect, change the prince's tutor, and be named Duke Lai. This has been a temporary end.
As the saying goes, it rains all night, and when you are on a boat, you will encounter a head-on wind. This person is unlucky and even drinking cold water can get stuffed. It's really good.
Just as Kou Xiang was flying, someone came to throw the egg in his hand to the ground. This person is very famous and Zhou Huaizheng, the largest second-hand product in the logistics service center of the Song Dynasty.
Zhou Huaizheng was a great eunuch in the internal affairs and was very powerful. When he was young, he also did some good things that were good to the people. But he always couldn't stand Ding Wei. He wanted to be a eunuch who was famous in history. But he couldn't find the opportunity to be a eunuch and was depressed for many years. Later, Eunuch Zhou finally came up with a bad idea that was famous in history. He contacted his younger brother Zhou Huaixin, deputy envoy of the Concierge, and Yang Chongxun, the envoy of the guest province, and the inner palace commanded Yang Huaiji, who wanted to kill Ding Wei, regarded Zhao Heng as the emperor, and helped Zhao Xiaoliu as the emperor. The first few things were all easy to say, but there was another one that almost killed Kou Zhun---his plan was still to ask Kou Zhun to be the prime minister!
