Like a typhoon, the Sokokuji incident was spread throughout Tokyo by people who were in high spirits.

The prime minister with real power and the small minister behind the scenes who directly influences the emperor's mind, the two directly compete, at this level, not to mention ordinary officials, even the big guys in the court will not interfere at will, look at the limelight.

The matter of the rivalry between the sons and daughters of the two families is usually resolved privately by the two families, and they will not go to the court. But now it is Wang Hao's second son who has become a eunuch, and the two sides directly used the murder weapon, making a big fuss, and the two families have a big feud, and they must fight for the emperor, and even fight for life and death.

Kaifeng Mansion Yin, who is directly in charge of the ground of the capital, can't avoid it.

As one of the powerful tycoons and a number of important ministers, he is very familiar with Zhao Lian, who is serving the emperor, and there is no major contradiction, but he is closer to Wang Huang's interests.

It doesn't matter who is who. As an alliance, we must show our attitude at critical moments.

A group of arresters quickly came to Zhao's Mansion and reported that they were ordered by Lord Yin of the Mansion to arrest the murderer Zhao Yue and other four people for trial, hoping that Zhao's Mansion would cooperate.

But after waiting for a long time, no one in the house took care of it. The fast catcher was a little annoyed.

No matter how good you are, you may not survive if you provoke more powerful bigwigs.

Your family is in trouble. We were ordered to arrest people according to the law, and no one could say that I was not. Put on airs? Ignore me? I'll rush in and arrest someone, what can you do? If you are not convinced, you go to Fu Yin and say.

blew up the guts, led people to rush up the steps, pushed the door without opening, shouted the law enforcement slogans that are still in use nearly a thousand years later, knocked on the door knocker, and smashed the door with an iron ruler and a water and fire stick on the handle.

The door suddenly opened.

A group of family members from the Zhao Mansion appeared.

The butler who took the lead came up with a kick in the air, kicking the head of the trap and falling down the steps. The other family members also neatly beat up the catcher who took the lead in making trouble.

Eva condescendingly looked down at the resentful but did not dare to rush the head, and sneered: "It is your duty to guard in front of the mansion. You also deserve to meddle in this kind of fighting? ”

Pointing to the golden plaque on the emperor's own letter on his head, "Dare to make trouble in the Earl's Palace?" What are you supposed to be here? ”

Ordered to catch quickly, and ordered left and right: "Dare to help the gang to step on the steps to find trouble, reach out, go to the hand." Stretch your feet, go to your feet. ”

The family said in unison: "No." ”

Separate the two sides of the house gate, and stand according to the sword.

The word "go" has spread throughout the capital with the Xiangguo Temple incident and has become the latest and hottest word at present.

The Zhao Mansion is the Earl's Mansion that Shilin looks up to, and it is also the Jiangmen, which is equipped with regular guards according to the system and is qualified to bring standard weapons. Born on the border, he killed the guards of the Liao army, and it was not appropriate to kill people, and he was a bird if he chopped his hands.

When they thought of the tragic scenes of broken hands and flower arms they saw in front of Xiangguo Temple, and then looked at the Zhao Mansion family members who were full of evil spirits, they couldn't help but shudder, and no one dared to provoke and tempt.

Zhao Lian, who was on duty in the palace, looked at the interrogation results urgently sent by his family, like his younger brother, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The reason why he is called Xiaoxiang is because in addition to those that go directly to the emperor himself, the others, including those that Cai Jing has reviewed, should be directly transferred to the emperor for final approval and decision, but they will be transferred to Zhao Lian Liang Shicheng first, which is divided into two categories: those that need to be carefully weighed by the emperor and those that only need to be signed and sealed, and then handled by the emperor. In fact, it is mainly Zhao Lian who is doing it.

Liang Shicheng didn't know about military and political affairs, and he didn't bother to burn his brain and spend his heart, anyway, he secretly communicated with Zhao Lian, and he could prepare the things that the emperor might ask, and only played a supervisory role on behalf of the emperor.

Zhao Ji doesn't like government affairs, and with a young and capable secretary like Zhao Lian, he specially arranged it this way, and the burden of government affairs has been greatly reduced, and he can better enjoy art and life.

Zhao Lian observed the overall events and benefited a lot.

Taking advantage of the emperor's lunch break, Liang Shicheng, who was empty, came to Zhao Lian's office, sat there and drank tea without a sip, looking at Zhao Lian with a smile, his eyes flickering to explore.

He is in charge of the Ouchi espionage, and what happens under his nose can naturally quickly know the whole story of the incident.

After carefully weighing how he should deal with this conflict, he came to see Zhao Lian's performance with strong curiosity, and then exclaimed in his heart: You provoked such a strong enemy, you are too calm, right?

Zhao Lian glanced at Liang Shicheng dissatisfiedly: "Old Liang, are you here to see your brother's joke?" ”

Liang Shicheng smiled and snorted: "How can it?" ”

And nothing else.

Even without his brother's reminder, Zhao Lian knew very well that traitors could really be trusted and relied on.

He remained silent and casually showed his testimony to Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng glanced at it casually and returned it.

In this kind of thing, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, the key is who is more powerful and whose skills are more powerful.

He asked with interest, "What are you going to do with my brother?" ”

Zhao Lian smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "I don't want to cause trouble." Trouble with me. Over and over. When my family is muddy. ”

Then he glanced at Liang Shicheng, and said with some sarcasm: "In this matter, your old Liang Gang is at a loss, follow the saint closely, and stay honest and watch the excitement." If you really have the heart to help your brother, reach out in another matter. ”

was despised and despised, and Liang Shicheng was a little embarrassed.

If someone else spoke to him like this, even if that person was Cai Jing and the prince, he would also find a way to retaliate, but he didn't dare to Zhao Lian.

After so many years, he knew too well how terrible this young man who was currently buried in the deep palace was silent. This person is simply a natural prime minister, and he has too many tricks in his hands.

Liang Shicheng is conceited, but he really admires Zhao Lian, and he consciously does the opposite, but he really can't do it.

Besides, Zhao Lian is absolutely righteous and thoughtful to those who are close to him, and occasionally says sarcastic things, but also for the other party. The irony at hand is.

With these words, Liang Shicheng didn't have to bother thinking about how to pretend to be righteous enough at both ends of the first mouse, he was relaxed, and just waited for the opportunity to act and strive for benefits, so naturally he couldn't arouse revenge, but was a little grateful.

Rarely a little embarrassed, Liang Shicheng coughed and asked, "Another thing?" What's the matter? ”

Zhao Lian got up and paced, and after a while he said, "You also know the twists and turns of the Jurchen thief incident on Master Zhang's approach, Lao Liang. To tell you the truth, my caravan has gradually become a Jurchen rebel force. There are a few great heroes in this group of savages, and their subordinates are extremely brave and good at fighting. As for the Khitan, the officers are erosive, and the army's combat strength has dropped greatly. I expected that the catastrophe of Daliao would not be long in coming. ”

Looking at Liang Shicheng, "Isn't this a heaven-sent opportunity for our Great Song Dynasty to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" ”

Liang Shicheng blinked for a long time, and he couldn't figure out Zhao Lian's intentions.

"Gong Lian, what do you mean?"

Zhao Lian said in a low voice: "I want to go down to the local area to be a governor or something, reorganize the army and revitalize the army, and then I have a chance to restore Yan Yun's merits from the hands of the Western Army." Lao Liang, do you think, once the Jurchen barbarians beat the Khitan barbarians, Yanyun's Liao soldiers will definitely be deployed. Isn't the opportunity for our big Song Dynasty to take advantage of the fire? Can you get those fancy soldiers with the second year of high school, can you do it? ”

Liang Shicheng smiled in understanding, shook his head and said: "In the second year of high school, you will shoot the official's ass, coax the official's family to be happy, and train the army to fight?" ”

Pouted: "I'm afraid it's not as good as my old Liang." At least I know that I have to raise a reliable elite soldier in my hand, and I can use my strength when it is critical, and I can't be all waste. He? Hum. ”

Pointing to his head, it means that Gao Yu's head is full of, just patting the sycophants, and actually turning the Zhenguo Forbidden Army into a laborer and a coolie, and abolishing the force, maybe one day it will be unlucky to be in a hurry.

Zhao Lian gave Liang Shicheng a thumbs up.

"Lao Liang, do you think, the Western Army is so powerful, it has long been too big, if you recover Yanyun again?"

Liang Shicheng's eyes narrowed, and he said: "The prestige covers the sky, and the world looks up." If the officials can't get hold of them, the sky of our Great Song Dynasty may change. Our brother's good days are over. ”

He knew very well that the emperor had dreamed that the Western Army, which was strong and united and could not be dismantled, had been deliberately controlled. That's what Tong Guan was sent for. But at least for now, it doesn't work very well.

If it is an official of the capital. Especially if a close minister like Zhao Lian can train elite soldiers, even if he can't take Yan Yun, he can balance the Western Army and continue to swell into a dominant family, and the emperor must be the most happy to see it.

The key is that Zhao Lian is both civil and military, I am afraid that he really has this ability, and he is also the only civil official who really has the courage to work hard with a barbarian. For him to do this, the probability of success is not very high, it is extremely high.
