Kaifeng Fucheng before the New Year's Festival is, of course, the most lively time of the year, and it is also the most prosperous place in the world.

When the ritual of sacrificing the stove is coming, people who buy New Year's goods crowd the main commercial streets of Kaifeng Province, and there are bustling crowds everywhere.

The day before yesterday, when Wu Chengzhi returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he encountered a heavy snowfall, and there was no snow on the road, but on the roofs and branches in the distance, it was still pure white.

That is to say, it only took a short day to get rid of the snow on the streets in Kaifeng Fucheng, and it was cleaned up by people B kind of municipal management efficiency, in the whole world, only Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial City can be compared. Naturally, the impact of snow cover on commercial activities can be minimized.

The situation in Kaifeng Mansion is different, the guild here can work harder than the government, except for a few royal roads (because of the opening of Qionglin Palace, the number of royal roads in Kaifeng Mansion has increased) for the army, the other streets are paid by the guild to hire the idlers of Maodong to clean up - Kaifeng Mansion is a city relying on the canal, and there are many people who rely on the canal to make a living, so every winter when the canal is frozen, there are many people's livelihoods that become a problem. The guilds will put a little temporary work out at this time, either to repair the house, or to clear the peony road, which can be regarded as the net strength of the harmonious society of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wu Chengzhi had a lot of say in the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy, Painting and Literature Association, and also took out a large amount of copper money to hire thousands of idlers to clean the entire Panlou Street. Therefore, this afternoon, the carriage of the military officials will be able to drive steadily on this street where some sections of the road are narrow and some sections are wide.

He hadn't spent the night last night in his home west of the city. Because he hasn't returned to Kaifeng Mansion for a long time, he has a lot of old friends who need to be entertained as soon as he comes back - he is great now, and a son is a dignified handsome captain, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a prince; The other son was born in Jinshi, and he became a court official in just a few years, and he was just authorized to send Xiuzhou affairs, although it is a little farther, but it is a big fat shortage!

And how old is Wu Haowencai? This is granted to Zhizhou, and in the future, Zhun Bao will be a minister!

With such two promising sons, the calligraphy, painting and literature in the entire Kaifeng Mansion still don't work hard to convince him of this old lady? So last night, everyone held a banquet in Panlou to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Wu officials, and at the same time congratulated Wu Chengzhi on adding another noble son (Feng Erniang gave birth to a baby boy a few days before Wu Chengzhi went home), and also invited the most popular brother and lady in Kaifeng Mansion (that is, Yan Po'er's daughter Yan Xixi) to accompany him.

Wu Chengzhi is now reclining in the carriage, with more than 200 bones in his body, squinting his eyes and still reminiscing about the ** place of his brother and wife

He has changed into a green official uniform, and he is going to face the saint in the Qionglin Palace. Early this morning, the family of the Wu family sent him a picture of Princess Cheng'an (in fact, Wu Haogu made a draft, and the others were ghostwritten by Du Wenyu) Princess Cheng'an, which is a portrait of Gongbi. Of course, I want to give it to Princess Cheng'an's father-in-law, Zhao Ji!

Wu Haowen should have been allowed to go to this matter, but somehow, since this second official returned to Beijing in September to take care of Huaiyue's mother, Feng Erniang, he was not very willing to see the official family - other officials wanted to see him, but he was good, and he actually set up a fight with the official family. Even when the official summoned him, he tried his best to push it.

But it's strange to say, what kind of official, Zhao Ji didn't have the slightest intention of punishing, and gave him a fat child who had the right to send Xiuzhou affairs.

This is Zhizhou {How long has it been since the general judgment?} It is promoted to Zhizhou, and it is still Xiuzhou on Liangzhejiang Road, which is the land of fish and rice, and there are six or seven salt punishments and a wine business (Shanghai business), which is really rich!

But after being sent so well, Wu Haowen still ignored the official family, and today he got the picture of Princess Cheng'an sent from Jiehe Shang City, and he didn't personally send it to the palace, but let people get Wu Chengzhi and Yan Xixi's Xiyuan to sleep together.

"Twenty brothers," Wu Chengzhi called out the car window to his cronies, who were also his own brother Wu Chengan, "How far is it from Qionglin Palace?" ”

Wu Cheng'an, who followed the carriage and had a loyal and honest black face, looked like a farmer (in fact, a farmer), looked up at the south city wall, and bowed his head to Wu Chengdao: "If you go back to the big official, it will only be three miles away, but there are many cars and horses on the road ahead, and it will take at least a quarter of an hour to walk." After a pause, he asked, "Why don't you ride a horse?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Wu Chengzhi said, "Most of the officials are now asking the right questions in the Chongzheng Palace, and they can't see them if they go." ”

The carriage walked slowly for a while, and with a bustling sound coming from ahead, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Wu Chengzhi's brows furrowed: "What's going on ahead!?" ”

Listening to the sound coming from the carriage, Wu Chengan hurriedly said: "I don't know if the carriage and horses of the palace are blocking in front of us."

"The palace?" Wu Cheng was stunned, "Which prince is it?" ”

At this moment, a Shaanxi accent came from outside the carriage: "But is it Wu Shuaisi?" My princess is invited. ”

It turns out that the carriage that Wu Chengzhi is riding in now is Wu Haogu, which is not only decorated with non-beauty, but also has the mark of "Republic Line" on the carriage, which is very recognizable.

"The princess?"

Wu Cheng was stunned, and then he opened the curtain of the car, and what caught his eye was a military attache with a thick beard and a Xixia sword hanging from his waist.

"You're not a martial commander?"

This bearded military attache doesn't recognize Wu Haogu and Wu Chengzhi, but he does recognize the official uniform, Wu Chengzhi's official uniform is green, and Wu Haogu is the official of the defense envoy, and the color of the official uniform should be purple.

"The old man is in charge of Gou Su and Hangzhou, and Wu Haogu is the son of the old man." Wu Chengzhi introduced himself, "I don't know if you are from the Great King's Mansion?" ”

"Xia Guan is Liang Yiwu, the governor of Xiping Palace."

"Xiping Palace?" Wu Cheng was stunned, isn't this a thief? Isn't the Princess of Xiping the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang? Is she also going to Qionglin Palace to face the saint today? By the way, she and the son of the official family are going to marry the princess of the Great Liao Kingdom

"It turned out to be Wu Shuaisi's father, disrespectful, disrespectful." A confidant named Liang Yiwu arched his hand and went, and after a while, he turned back again, "Wudaguan, my concubine is invited." ”

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, oh, it should be that Concubine Liang entered the palace by edict. She and Zhao Ji's son (how wrong it sounds) Zhao Qianshun entered the territory of Lingzhou half a month ago, and is now on the way to Kaifeng Mansion.

Although she will be able to meet her son soon, Concubine Liang's heart is hanging.

Zhao Qianshun is here, can he still go back? Now that his parents are in Kaifeng Mansion, as a filial son, shouldn't he follow the principle that his parents are there and don't travel far, and stay in Kaifeng Mansion to have a good time? What are you going to do back to Liangzhou (the envoy of Hexi Jiedu has already gone to Liangzhou)?

As for going out to fight Anxi or something for his father, just have Zhao Chage. When it comes to leading troops to fight, Brother Zhao Cha is much stronger than Zhao Qianshun.

And there is also a Shuofang, Hexi, and Anxi three ways to make Gao Yu in LingzhouP Gao Yu commanded the westward expedition of Shuofang and Hexi, is not more reliable than Zhao Qianshun, Gao Yu's subordinates?

So these days, Concubine Liang ran to Qionglin Palace whenever she had the opportunity - of course, she went to see Empress Dowager Liu. also gave a lot of gifts to Empress Dowager Liu, so I wanted to ask her to say a few kind words in front of Zhao Ji.

At the same time, she also took out her savings for many years to give gifts to Cai Jing and Su Dongpo, wanting the two ministers to raise their noble hands and let Qianshun go. As for Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen brothers, of course she also wants to tie the knot, but Wu Haogu is not in Kaifeng Mansion, and Wu Haowen has been "sick", today I saw Wu Haogu's carriage on the street going to Qionglin Palace, and thought that this coastal city ship was coming to Kaifeng Mansion, so I wanted to invite him to share a car and contact his feelings. But I didn't expect to meet Wu Chengzhi, the father of Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen

"This is Princess Cheng'an? What a beauty! ”

In Concubine Liang's carriage, Wu Chengzhi had already handed over the picture of Princess Cheng'an he brought to Princess Cheng'an's mother-in-law.

"Yes," Wu Cheng responded, and at the same time peeked at Concubine Liang.

Of course, Concubine Liang is beautiful, but she is a widow after all, and she shouldn't wear heavy makeup, but she just dresses herself up like a blooming flower, and she doesn't know who she wants to show it?

Inside the Chongzheng Palace.

Just when Wu Chengzhi and Concubine Liang came to Qionglin Palace together, Zhao Ji was fighting Cai Jing alone in the Chongzheng Palace.

Su Dongpo is not here, the rough weather of this right minister became serious again after it turned cold, and the investigation suddenly worsened last night, so I told him today.

So after the summoning of the Chongzheng Hall is over today, only Cai Jing is left alone in the Chongzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the Black Khan Uighurs have been calling the Peach Red Stone Khan for more than a hundred years, and this country has long been weakened, and the country is divided into two, attacking each other, and it will not pose a threat to our Great Song Dynasty at all."

"Cai Qing, do you mean that there is no need to crusade against this Black Khan Uighur?"

"Not really," Cai Jing said with a smile, "It's still a good way to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, so that the two thieves are injured, and it can also raise Your Majesty's heavenly prestige thousands of miles away!"

It's just that Your Majesty doesn't think Gao Yu is overly enthusiastic about the crusade against Anxi? This matter has nothing to do with Gao Yu, although he was given the right to appease Anxi, but he can't really send soldiers to fight Anxi, right? Why did he crusade? Isn't this helping King Xiping get out of trouble? Or he also wants to provoke a war in the northwest, so that he can control Lingzhou for a long time."
