Wang Shi talked to her cousin about the topic of women, and Mao Hetong talked to Tang Ning about the temple with the rest of the people.

But there are some topics that cannot be discussed. So unconsciously, everyone talked about Tan Wangchun.

Mao Hetong squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Danyang Hou, you didn't go to court today, you really missed a good show." ”

"Oh?" Tang Ning raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Could it be that something interesting happened at today's court meeting?" ”

"Of course." Mao He said with a smile, and the rest of the people also heard about it. Listening to Mao Hetong talk about this, he will smile.

"Tan Wangchun - it's the Tan Yushi the day before yesterday, wasn't he so scared that he peed his pants because of you? In the past two days, the news has spread to everyone, and I guess he has no face to continue to be an official, so he told the official family at today's court meeting that he wanted to resign.

But when he said this, he was fighting for face. After all, he is also an imperial history, even if he is not a high authority, he still has a bit of power. And the position of the imperial historian is also very important, generally speaking, it is not that he can resign if he wants to resign.

didn't think about it, and the official agreed without thinking about it, and asked the officials to issue him a document on the spot. ”

When Tang Ning heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's really embarrassing." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Mao He continued with his eyebrows: "You don't know what happened later, this Tan Wangchun saw that the official family didn't even say a word, and he was dumbfounded."

Immediately began to play a scoundrel, in front of the Manchu Dynasty armed forces to commit a crime, biting his tongue and vomiting blood.

In fact, at the time, I thought he was really sick, until the official called the imperial doctor to consult him in the court, and the imperial doctor said that he just bit his tongue, and I knew that he was pretending. ”

"And then?"

The official family also gave him face, and without asking again, he announced his retirement from the dynasty. I don't know what happened next, but as soon as this incident came out, he probably really had no face to continue to mix in the court.

Either ask for a transfer or resign, these are the two roads in front of him. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Hetong couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you see how wonderful Cai Shangshu's expression was......"

The crowd couldn't hold back and laughed out loud one by one. Some people were not there, but they were overwhelmed by the descriptions of those present.

The Wang family and the old party represented by Cai Jing were opposites, although Wang Gui and Sima Guang were comrades-in-arms in the pit, but Wang Zhongxiu was more inclined to Wang Anshi.

After all, he was still a young man at that time, and like an old and angry young man like Wang Anshi, he had the desire to enrich the country and strengthen the army. One accidentally got on the boat of the New Party and went against his own father.

After Wang Gui died, the position of the head of the family was naturally passed to Wang Zhongxiu. Under the leadership of Wang Zhongxiu, the Wang family ran wild all the way on the road of advocating the new party and government law.

Therefore, with the Wang family

Those who are close to the old and can be invited to the family banquet will definitely not be from the old party, otherwise, wouldn't they be unhappy?

I have to say that partisan strife is really one of the culprits that led to the gradual decline of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Above the court, officials of the old and new parties attacked each other without mentioning a word of business. Under the court, there are also open and secret struggles between parties, which greatly affects the operational efficiency of the government.

There are even local officials who have the idea of currying favor with their bosses, and they disobey the yang and the yin, making the innocent people complain.

Originally, the most exciting thing about the Great Song Dynasty Hall was the intrigue of the old nobles like the Cao family and the Shi family.

But since the clear confrontation between Wang Anshi and Sima Guangjing, the voices of these nobles have to slowly weaken, and finally become what they are now, only occasionally making a little noise to indicate that they are not dead......

After listening to Mao Hetong's words, Tang Ning didn't feel much. Tan Wangchun is just a dog raised by Cai Jing, whether he barks or not, and who barks at him, Cai Jing has the final say.

Such a person is actually very sad, he has never owned anything, even if he can fly to the clouds in the last second, and be happy. In the next second, he could be pressed into the eighteenth layer of hell and tortured.

But everyone was laughing, and Tang Ning also laughed cooperatively. When others say this, Tan Wangchun's matter is completely to save face. The person who clashed with Tan Wangchun was themselves, not them - although they were also happy to see Tan Wangchun unlucky.

With Wang Zhongxiu taking Li Gefei back to his home, everyone is almost there. There are a few who didn't come, maybe they were delayed on the way.

Everyone was hungry and couldn't wait, so Wang Zhongxiu simply let everyone take their seats.

Cao De also came, a man in his forties, still looking like a hanger. I have to say that this person really borrowed the light of the Cao family, otherwise he would not be beaten eight times a day if he went to the street like this.

Tang Ning and Cao De are quite familiar, and they have met many times before for various reasons. He is the commander of Sima Bujun in front of the palace, which means that the forbidden army responsible for defending the capital is under his command.

But in fact, the defender of Tokyo City was not him, and after Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a glass of wine, this position became a fictitious position in name only.

After Yuanfeng's restructuring, he had some power, but if his subordinates had the heart to empty him, it would be easy.

But after all, he is a high-ranking official of the second grade, and his family background is there. Although it has no real power, it cannot be ignored.

Cao De loved his sister Wang Shi's mother very much when he was a child, loved the house and Wu, and he also liked Wang Shi's niece very much, so he had a good impression of Tang Ning.

Besides, Tang Ning is a witty one, and he admires Tang Ning even more. In the early years, how many times did he explicitly or implicitly ask Tang Ning to show favor to the Cao family, so he could arrange for Tang Ning to be an official in a key department.

But by then, Tang Ning had already defined himself as Zhao Xu's

It's a dog's leg, if you want to talk about official positions, take a good picture of Zhao Xu's sycophants, what official can't you be?

"Where's Liang'er?" Cao De looked around and didn't see Tang Liang, so he was a little disappointed, Wang Shi was at the banquet for the female dependents, and he was inconvenient to go over and ask, so he ran over to ask Tang Ning.

Tang Ning said the words that had been prepared a long time ago, and Cao De said dissatisfiedly: "The old man's grandson is not so ignorant, and you are too, I don't know that the old man and Liang'er haven't seen each other for a while, do you miss him very much?" ”

Tang Ningxin said that you don't have no grandchildren, why are you always thinking about Lao Tzu's son?

"Okay, third uncle, I was wrong, next time, next time I will definitely bring him to you rare."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Cao De nodded and sat down.

At this time, Wang Zhongxiu and Li Gefei walked over while talking and laughing. Behind the two of them, there was also a young man.

Cao De greeted him, and the two walked over and sat down. The young man was left standing uneasily.

Tang Ning hurriedly poured wine for the three of them, originally with his current status, this job should not be done by him. But there was no way, there were a total of six people at the table, he was the youngest, and he was in charge of this table every year in the past.

Family banquets do not pay attention to status, only age.

Just as he was picking up the flask, the young man reached out and said, "Let me come." ”

Tang Ning suddenly realized that he was not too young.

For so many years, in addition to Zhang Jingming, Zhu Mian, Shenqian and other peers in his circle, there are elderly people like Zhang Dan, Zhang Qi, and Chong Pu, and there are really few people who are younger than him.

After thinking about it, he handed the flask into the young man's hand.

"Haha, then let you serve these masters, I'm happy too."

Everyone laughed, and Li Gefei said at this time: "Everyone, see me for the first time, this is the old man's son-in-law, Zhao Mingcheng." ”

Tang Ning had expected such a day, and he was not too surprised. Although he has not met Li Qingzhao for various reasons, Li Gefei's daughter is Li Qingzhao, and Tang Ning knows it very well in his heart.

What's more, Zhao Mingcheng, this man who loves Li Qingzhao and loves him for eternity.

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Downing smiled and arched his hand at him.

Zhao Mingcheng's hand in pouring wine shook, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, Danyang Hou is too much to lift me......"

Li Gefei sighed and said, "Nephew Tang Xian, have you heard of him before?" ”

"When Uncle Li, when your daughter got married, didn't you have an invitation? At that time, my little nephew was not in Tokyo and couldn't catch up, but when I came back, I also saw the invitation and learned the name of your son-in-law?

Qingzhao sister is full of poetry and books, talented, the man who can marry her as a wife must be a talented man full of wealth, I have really admired it for a long time! ”
