The palace lamps hanging in the back garden were carefully taken off one by one, folded and put into the box.

Wen Yanbo, who had white hair, sat in the pavilion in the back garden, watching the people clean up the Shangyuan Festival, and his son Wen Jifu was serving beside him. Under the pavilion, there is a fire. The heat rose from the ground, and the number nine severe cold was also left out of the pavilion.

At that time, Wen Yanbo drank and watched the snow with his friends on a snowy night in Chengdu, and for three days, the soldiers waiting on the side were tired and cold, and almost made a mutiny, and demolished the pavilion to roast the fire. Fortunately, Wen Yanbo has the means, first appease, then settle the account, and it was settled lightly and skillfully. However, it still aroused discussion in the court, and I memorized a few bullet stamps.

However, decades later, Wen Yanbo drank again, don't say three or five days, it doesn't matter if it's thirty or fifty days, but the mood of the year can't come back, the friends who drank together can't come back, and the lights on the trees are different.

"Speaking of the palace lamp, it is still good in Shudi, followed by the two Zhejiang, and the palace is a little worse." Wen Yanbo gave gifts to the concubines back then, including lanterns made of Shu.

Wen Jifu accompanied his father to speak, while staring at the people not to break the lamp, but it was all given by the emperor.

"Now there are also glass lamps, which are much brighter than those made of silk and bamboo."

"Glass lamp? …… Whatever you want. Wen Yanbo glanced at the sixth son who had been following him, and snorted disapprehantly, "If you want to save some private money, can you still let it be your father?" ”

There were two Henan merchants who wanted to open a glass workshop and worship him under his door. Wen Jifu knew that the glass lamp was in vogue now, so he took a share of the dry shares and hung them in the name of his Hun family - so that he could not enter the family's public account. It's just that it's not in accordance with the etiquette law. Fortunately, his father didn't mean to care, and Wen Jifu was very happy.

"Is there any news from the west today?"

"Yes, yes, there must be, there are gold medals crossing the border every day. It's just that it's not Lubu Feijie, and I can't hear anything. "Two days ago, Lubu Feijie crossed the border, and the good news that the official army captured Xingqing Mansion caused a lot of discussion in the city, and even the Shangyuan banquet of several yamen in the city was talking about this matter.

"Where's the capital?"

"The adult's bullet stamps have been delivered, and it is estimated that it will take a few days for the news to come back."

"I'm waiting a few days!" Wen Yanbo's spirits were bright, "Look how they were dragged down the river by Lu Huiqing!" ”

Since the old party is impeached, the two governments must protect Lu Huiqing. The more powerful the attack on this side, the less room there is for the two provinces to turn around. Wen Yanbo and others did not expect the impeachment of Lu Huiqing and the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division to succeed. But as long as the words are spoken, they can force the new party to protect Lu Huiqing - who made them nod and agree to Lu Huiqing as the Xuanfu of Shaanxi?

If there is a small mistake, Lu Huiqing will bear it alone, but now that the alliance of the abyss is destroyed, it is not that Lu Huiqing can afford it.

"Lu Huiqing wants to be a Xuanfu envoy, that is thinking of entering the Eastern Mansion. However, Cai Qu and Zhang Dian asked Lu Huiqing to serve as the Xuanfu envoy, but they were not happy. A little unexpected, it can make Lu Huiqing even a privy envoy. Wen Yanbo sneered, he had played a lot with those old opponents with similar methods back then, and that group of juniors was still far behind, "Can you think that Lu Huiqing and Chong Ge can do such a big thing?" This is called cocooning and self-bondage! ”

Wen Jifu hummed in response, and his head hurt. His Lao Tzu has been in such a good mood these days that he grabbed him and said over and over again as soon as he was free. I can't stop answering, otherwise I will be angry immediately, "But what if the official army wins?" ”

"It's the same as before. How can you still be a father?! ”

If you win, you will have merit, and if you lose, you will not be damaged, what does Wen Yanbo dare not do? Even if the new party is in power, can it still prevent these old ministers from worrying about the country and the people?

The emperor now has to reuse the new party, but he also has to leave a different voice outside. Dissenting is the ancestral means of the Zhao family, if the courtiers respond with one voice and seek each other, can the emperor still have a place to stand? Don't look at it, even if the queen has always supported it, when the new monarch is in power, the situation will be reversed.

Wen Yanbo sneered, "When the time comes, they will be able to break their heads immediately." Can we still be rich together? Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu's generation can help each other from the bottom of their hearts? Now Han Gangdang will also die to protect Lu Huiqing, but if Lu Huiqing can return to Beijing, he will still fight like a dog. ”

Wen and Fu Nuo have a voice, and the intrigue in the court is naturally Lao Jiang's strength. Regardless of whether there is something to do or not, the court can't take the elders of Zhishi, they can do whatever they want.

Although Wen Jifu can't help but slander his own Lao Tzu and his old mouth, he has to admit that his mental tricks are still at the level of the prime minister. This time, the New Party has suffered some hardships. If the Liao army wantonly plundered Hebei, it would not be able to keep it, and it would take a few heads out to calm the anger of the people.

Wen Yanbo drank two sips of medicinal soup, took a breath, and asked his son again, "Cheng Hao has set off?" ”

"Dacheng is on the road today. Brother Yi and Brother Cheng are his disciples, and they went out together in the morning to practice for him. ”

"He's taken a lot of people with him, hasn't he?"

"I've heard there are more than a dozen."

"After a while, there will be fun in the capital." Wen Yanbo smiled proudly with a silver beard, "Han Gang has to fight in the ring with his father-in-law for the sake of qi learning. Wait for Cheng Hao to pass and see if he can still stand in the snow for two more hours! ”

…………………………

"Yukun, how sure is the matter in Hebei?"

Coming out of the inner palace, Wang Anshi grabbed Han Gang.

"That depends on how Guo Kui prepares."

"How can this matter be blamed on Guo Kui alone?!" Wang Anshi was furious. Who can rest assured that an army that has not heard of war for 80 years? Where is it possible to follow Han Gang's light words, all of which rely on a martial artist?

Today, at the Funing Palace, it has been further confirmed that we will maintain a tough attitude towards the Liao people and will never compromise and retreat.

Wang Anshi was forced by the situation to support the two governments. However, he also clearly saw that the foothold under the feet of the two governments formed by the new party is getting narrower and narrower, and unless there is a brilliant victory, there will even be a crisis of rout.

However, this is still a trivial matter after all, compared with the rise and fall of a faction, the safety of the people of Hebei is more important.

"There are millions of people in Hebei!"

"In the past few years, Guo Kui has been rectifying the forbidden army, and the military strength should have recovered a lot."

"Should?!" Wang Anshi's face became even more gloomy.

"The reason why Yelu Yixin betrayed the alliance and provoked was because the young lord of the Liao State was harmed by him and had to get some benefits from the Chinese side to appease the people. He can't be defeated, but the Great Song Dynasty can afford to lose, as long as it drags on for a little longer, Yelu Yixin is even worried about destruction. Han Gang looked at Wang Anshi in surprise, "Father-in-law should be able to see it too, right?" ”

If they hadn't all seen this, how would Cai Qu, Zhang Dian and others gamble on this? It is true that he was kidnapped by Lu Huiqing, but he did see hope, so he was so tough.

"Of course I know. At this point, Ben has nothing to say. But the people of Hebei can suffer less than one point. It's not enough to prepare. ”

"There is no perfect way in the world, and the topography of Hebei is much worse than that of Shaanxi and Hedong, and it is much more difficult to resist the enemy outside the country. But with Guo Kui guarding the town and the full support of the two governments, it is impossible to do better in preparation. Han Gang sighed, "Speaking of which, there is no need to worry about the city, only the Liao people are worried about invading the countryside." ”

Wang Anshi also sighed helplessly, and temporarily put down his thoughts, "The Guangxin Army is the first to bear the brunt, Yukun can really rest assured?" ”

Wang Anshi met Li Xin once, and he was very impressed at that time. Regardless of the relationship between relatives, it was just a matter of cherishing talents, and Wang Anshi did not want to see the young and promising generals fall into the result of being punished because they could not intercept the Liao army heading south.

"Since Yang Liulang, the soldiers and horses of Suicheng have been used to fight back. Therefore, the number of horse troops is similar to that of the infantry army. If the Liao army enters the city and goes south around the city, it will counterattack into the Liao territory with cavalry to disturb the enemy's heart. ”

No wonder Han Gang wasn't worried about his cousin at all. Only then did Wang Anshi realize that he did not know so much about the details of Hebei's defense. Thinking about it this way, I can feel a little more relieved.

Han Gang actually has some ideas, but he is not sure, and it is inconvenient to say: "In fact, it is not only Hebei that should be prepared. There are also Hedong and Shaanxi. Urudor of Jereuzin was in the middle of the Black Mountain. It is not impossible to raise troops to recapture Xingling, but it is even more necessary to guard against its southward march to Hedong. Shengzhou is far away from the river, and it is not easy for Taiyuan and Yinxia to support, and it is much easier to attack Shengzhou than Xingling. ”

Speaking of which, the border between Song and Liao is too long, and it is difficult to attack and defend. Waiting for the Liao people to go south, there are naturally loopholes everywhere.

"Have you told Zihou about these things?"

"Where do you need a reminder from my son-in-law?" Han Gang shook his head. Zhang Dian and Xue Xiang's abilities will not lose to anyone, even if they can't think of it, I don't know how many people can remember to remind them below.

"That's right." Wang Anshi laughed self-deprecatingly, as he got older, he had more and more concerns, and he no longer had the decision of the past.

"The son-in-law has to go to Dutingyi." Han Gang said goodbye to Wang Anshi, "A few days ago, Xiao Xi was going to return north, and now in Xingqing Mansion, he must be leaving." The queen had already approved a banquet yesterday, and she had to meet her today. ”

……………………

Xiao Xi's mood has been so good lately, especially after seeing the deputy envoy's dejected face.

After Han Gang threw out the fat of expanding the city, Zhigan relied on his status as a slave of his father's family and took away all the power, and as a righteous envoy, he could only write a letter back to China to express his opposition, which could not restrain Zhigan's actions at all.

But now the situation has changed, and the folding is completely finished. led the peace with the Song people, but encountered the Song people sending troops to attack Xingling, not only did not see through the sinister intentions of the Song people, but also took advantage of the enemy, helping the treacherous Southern Dynasty to deceive the country. Regardless of whether the court can tolerate this crime, Shang's father will definitely not be able to spare him. And himself, with the previous few letters questioning the intentions of the Song people, has already taken the first step out and is invincible.

Xiao Xi paced back and forth in the room, and after taking three or five steps, he turned around. The snapping footsteps were irritated, and his head was twisted to look outside, waiting for the news to come back.

Dutingyi was strictly guarded by the Song people, Xiao Xi's ears and eyes were not handy, a few days ago, he fought a decisive battle with Yelu Yuli, and he was half a day before he inquired about the content of the good news from the outside. Just now he heard a little bit of wind again, so he immediately sent someone to try to get out of the gang to investigate, but it was just over an hour, and no one had returned.

"Lin Ya! Lynn Ya! Xiao Xi looked forward to it for a long time, and finally looked forward to it back, a small official in Han costume jumped into Xiao Xi's room with a smoke, his face was sweaty, "Xingqing Mansion is really occupied by the Southern Dynasty!" ”

Hearing the news he wanted, Xiao Xi finally sat down peacefully, Fang Cai's impatience disappeared, and he had the leisure to correct the wrong place name: "What Xingqing Mansion!" It's Heungju! Xingzhou of Daliao! ”

"It's Xingzhou! It's Heungju! The little official nodded, "It is said that the city was set on fire and the door was burned." ”

"The six states of Xiping were taken by the Song people this time."

Xiao Xi was proud, so he heard the preaching outside: "Lin Ya, Master Han is here." ”

"Ask him to come in." Xiao Xi'an sat still, the smile on his face was closed, and he was replaced by an angry expression.

After a while, Han Gang walked in proudly, but he didn't seem to see anything: "Lin Ya resigned yesterday, and Han Gang was ordered to practice for Lin Ya today." ”
