Yang Huairen could only shake his head, lamenting that no matter how history changes, the party struggle in the court in the late Song Dynasty has never changed, and this internal friction may be the biggest internal reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Yang Huairen knew that with his ability, he really couldn't change this situation, and Zhang Dian and a group of new parties around him were too extreme, and if Yang Huairen wanted to stand out, he would only be beaten by them.

However, he had long expected such a situation, so he didn't plan to take care of it, he couldn't manage the affairs of the court, he still had a way to do his own affairs, and he would never give up this point by enriching the people and strengthening the army through his methods.

Yang Huairen raised his glass and toasted, "None of us can control these things, so there is no need to be depressed and worried about this, we have wine today and drunk today, come and come, in order to celebrate Xiao Lao'er's brave retreat and self-protection, let's do this cup." ”

Xiao Lao'er has nothing to worry about, he is promoted and then asks for retirement, the court will still pay him salary according to the salary level before his retirement until he returns to old age in a hundred years, he naturally has no worries, and the marriage of his most worried daughter is now settled, and he can enjoy his old age with peace of mind.

Li Heiniu didn't understand these things, and he didn't want to think about it, but he was very relieved to understand that his father-in-law had no regrets when he retired.

"Since my father-in-law has made up my mind to resign and retire to old age, it is better to go to my son-in-law's house to live in the future, the Yang family has a rich life in the village, and the son-in-law can also serve by my father-in-law's side at any time."

Yang Huairen also followed the words of Brother Hei Niu and said, "Yes, it doesn't make much sense for you to stay in the city, you neighbors heard that you have resigned, and I don't know what to arrange for you, instead of facing these noisy long-tongued women in the city, it is better to go to my Zhuangzi to have a leisure."

Also, if you feel bored and panicked, you will force my brother and sister-in-law to have a few more babies for you to bring. ”

"Hehe," Old Man Xiao said with a smile, "The prince and the virtuous son-in-law are so gracious, it is naturally the best." ”

Brother Hei Niu blushed, and then Hei Niu's sister-in-law walked in with a stack of porcelain plates with stacks of egg cakes, "Some eggs were knocked on the road and baked into egg cakes for everyone to eat." ”

Turning his head and seeing Brother Hei Niu's face flushing, he asked, "Why is the official so blushing, but he is drunk?" ”

Brother Hei Niu couldn't answer, Yang Huairen joked, "The old man told me that he wanted to hug his grandson, I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks?" ”

"Uncle is entertaining my sister-in-law again."

The black cow's sister-in-law also blushed like a monkey's buttocks, and put down the porcelain plate to escape.

Yang Huairen said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is also thin-skinned, and the matter of having children is the norm of people, how can you talk about laughter?" It's better for my brother and sister-in-law to set up a military order in front of the old man, give birth to two in three years, and hug each other in five years, which is not embarrassing for you, right? ”

Where did Hei Niu's sister-in-law dare to stay, she even quickened her pace and walked out of the room, and Hei Niu's brother had to pour wine into Yang Huairen, intending to block his mouth.

Old Xiao laughed heartily on the side, but he didn't force Brother Heiniu to give him a few grandchildren, he just raised his hand and patted Li Heiniu's arm, "It's good to follow fate, just follow fate." ”

Speaking of the child's matter, Xiao Lao'er seemed to remember one thing, he sighed, "There is another thing, it was not a matter in the court, but it also made the court seem to be stormy." ”

"What did the old man say?" Yang Huairen also smiled, guessing that what he said should be something in the harem, so his mood became nervous.

Old Man Xiao thought about it, and said with a wry smile helplessly, "Does the prince know about Queen Meng's birth of a princess?" ”

Yang Huairen pretended not to know why, nodded slightly and replied, "I've heard of it, it's a very common thing, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Lao'er continued, "Originally, the matter of the official family's harem was not something we could discuss, and this matter affected the court, so Xiao Lao'er had to vomit quickly.

Queen Meng gave birth to a princess a month and a half ago, which should have been a happy thing for the official family, but for some reason, the official family was extremely evasive about this matter, and only gave the princess a title in a low-key manner, but never mentioned it in front of the courtiers.

Zhao Zonghui, the heir of the king of Pu, and his brother told the king Zhao Zongsheng to follow, and when the court and the central government discussed this matter, when talking about clan affairs, they brought up the matter of the princess.

Unexpectedly, the officials were angry and rebuked the ministers. The ministers couldn't understand why the official family was suddenly angry for no reason, so they heard a saying from somewhere that when Queen Meng gave birth, something happened in the palace. ”

Yang Huairen was shocked, and the wine glass in his hand slipped off at some point, and fell to the ground with a "pop".

This matter is exactly what Yang Huairen is worried about, Zhao Xu is reluctant to mention it, because after Queen Meng gave birth, several palace maids and mothers died in the palace, if Zhao Xu wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, it is inevitable to find that Guan Qiuli's father-in-law has disappeared.

Although Guan Qiuli's whereabouts are secretive and strong, and his actions can be regarded as cautious, it is difficult to say that the master in the palace will not be able to find the slightest clue, in case he finds Yang Huairen here, it will be a disaster.

But Yang Huairen thought about it again, if he could really find the Yang family Zhuangzi, then he would not sit in Xiao Lao'er's house and drink with peace of mind now, not to mention that after taking care of Qiu Li's matter, the security of the Yang family Zhuangzi was still quite strict, and no suspicious people were found during this time.

Thinking about it this way, it should be difficult for Zhao Xu to find out about him, so this matter can only be closed in the end, but for the sake of insurance, Yang Huairen feels that it is better for him to leave the capital for a while, even if it is to avoid the limelight, it is good.

Regarding the gaffe just now, Yang Huairen also immediately made a drunken appearance to try his best to cover it up, and he smiled, "Look at you, I'm drunk, haha." ”

Xiao Lao'er didn't know much about things, so he wouldn't suspect Yang Huairen, but Brother Hei Niu remembered the night visit of the man in black to Yang Huairen some time ago, and he was inevitably shocked in his heart.

Although he didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, it was so coincidental that the man in black was carrying a baby on his back that night, so he immediately connected this incident with the strange things in the palace.

Although he was also shocked, he was still quite calm and didn't show anything, but helped Yang Huairen change his wine glass, and asked his father-in-law to continue.

Old Xiao didn't care, and then said, "We have no way of knowing what happened in the palace, but Liu Jieyu charmed the emperor, and everyone really knows it." ”

Yang Huairen heard him say that he didn't know what was going on, so he felt a little relieved, and he could also see the change in Brother Hei Niu's expression, but he trusted Brother Hei Niu not to say anything more.

He pretended to be confused and asked, "Liu Jieyu?" But the previous Liu Jieyu, who turned from a palace maid to a beauty overnight? ”
