In this way, there is only the Taifu Pavilion and the Zhongshu Pavilion at the head of the six departments, but Meng Shuo does not have the deep official roots of Du Ruting, so under the wind of the court, Meng Shuo is invisible, and over time, Du Ruting has become the only minister in the dynasty, and even some of the powers of the Taifu Pavilion have been divided.

In front of him, Emperor Xia Jing bluntly asked, Meng Shuo didn't have the slightest chance to dodge, and after thinking about it for a while, Meng Shuo wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for the crime of being disrespectful!" ”

"Meng Shuo, you are so bold!"

Bu Wu looked at Meng Shuo's dodging appearance, and his heart was very angry, even if he broke the rules of the inner servant who was not allowed to speak about politics for a while, but for the sake of the master, he was angry.

"Stand down!"

Emperor Xia Jing immediately swooped down, choked his breath, and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the slave is too talkative, and the slave knows his mistake!" ”

"Get out!"

It's another two words, Bu Wu didn't dare to object at all, so he could only kneel and withdraw, and when there was no one else in the hall, Emperor Xia Jing said to Meng Shuo: "Now that the Hexi Army has returned to the central capital, and its generals and participants have all joined the court column, what do you think, tell me!" ”

At this moment, Meng Shuo did not dare to hide the slightest, and when he kowtowed, he responded: "Your Majesty, the Hexi Army will join the army, which is the fundamental strategy to disintegrate the power of the Qin King of Hexi from the root, but the courtiers of Zhongdu are now divided into three major forces, one is the old minister column headed by Du Ruting, the other is the old minister column of the East Palace before His Majesty, and the last column is the Guanfeng column where the minister is located. And Du Ruting's current situation is to prevent this from happening, so the minister thinks that since the Hexi Army can enter, then His Majesty should introduce another series to counteract and ensure the stability of the court!"

Meng Shuo's words were clear, making Xia Jingdi's vision gradually clear.

"In this way, Your Majesty ordered the court, whether it is Du Ruting or Luo Jinci, all of them cannot be used as a reason for the government, please advise the court!"

"Then what do you think is the reason for the introduction?" Emperor Xia Jing asked again, and Meng Shuo let out a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Wechen has already made it clear enough, why bother to put Wechen in a dilemma, besides, such a strategy is also the best way to Bei'an Xiding!" ”

At this point, Meng Shuo kowtowed and apologized, and did not say a single step, even if Emperor Xia Jing forced Meng Shuo with the dignity of the emperor, he could not be reasonable, and finally Emperor Xia Jing let Meng Shuo leave.

"Bei'an Xiding, what a Bei'an Xiding!"

Emperor Xia Jingdi thought about Meng Shuo's words, when it was the best power trick for the status quo, if it was transferred to Du Ruting, if it was not careful, it would definitely cause chaos in military action, and it would not be wise to enter the war again in Great Xia, but if it was only promoted as a general, without the military of the wolf's head and tiger head, it would be like a domestic dog in shackles.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia Jing said: "Spread my will, plan to decree the Bei'an Army, and come to confer the title immediately after spring!" ”

After half an hour, the three flags and feathers ordered the flying horses to leave the palace and run north through the thick snow.

Du Fu.

Du Ruting left the palace and returned, it can really be said that he was full of anger, first Gao Rou showed his majesty at the Temple of Heaven sacrifice at the New Year ceremony, I don't know if I thought he was the head of the hundred officials, and then when the hundred officials were eating, Meng Shuo, this old thing, was recruited away by the inner servant, obviously His Majesty had an order, and negotiated with him, these two things have nothing to do with Du Ruting, and he really lost his name as the first of the hundred officials!

"Master, the young man has come with news, and he has now arrived in Beizhen!"

In anger, Du Ruting got a house slave to report, and immediately said hard: "Didn't he say that he would come back at the beginning of spring, why did he come back in advance?" Heavy snow along the way..."

"Master, the young man came back ahead of schedule after hearing about the change in the wind in Zhongdu, and he was probably worried about the master!"

The house slaves kept chattering: "Master, why don't your subordinates send someone to greet the young son?" ”

"Excuse me!" Du Ruting refused: "These two days are the time of the Spring Festival celebration, the city is chaotic and crowded, he likes to be clean, and after these two days have passed, let him return to the house!" ”

In the north of the capital, the city supervisor.

Helan Wen inquired all the way here, looking at the big words on the door plaque, Helan Wen thought for a moment, and finally held back his strength to enter.

"How did you casually enter the official mansion? Get out and get out! ”

The doorman on duty saw that Helan Wen was in tatters, and immediately came out to rush away, and He Lanwen arched his hand: "I am looking for Bai Li to become Lord Bai, please let the official know!" ”

"What Bai Licheng, there is no such person!" The doorman was rude, not looking at He Lanwen at all, seeing that He Lanwen was about to be pushed out of the door, an official walked by, heard He Lanwen's words, stopped and said, "Who are you?" ”

"The relatives of Lord Xiabai, whose hometown was affected by the disaster and have no way out, have come here to survive!"

The official said, "Let him go!" ”

When the doorman heard the order, he could only dodge away, so Helan Wen and the official walked to the back house, and came to a front of the pavilion, and the official said: "Lord Bai has explained, if anyone comes to look for it in the past two days, he will be directly introduced here, and now Lord Bai will go out to answer the Mao, and he will return in a few moments, you wait here!" ”

After the official left, He Lanwen took a breath, entered the house and sat down, about a moment later, a person came in from the outside, He Lanwen looked up, the man was stunned, turned around and closed the door.

"You're here!"

Hearing this, Helan Wen didn't say anything, just handed over a letter, but Bai Licheng didn't even look at it, and directly put the letter on the stove and burned it.

"I didn't expect you to be alive, and I didn't expect you to find me!"

Bai Licheng sat down and spoke bluntly, and Helan Wen said in a deep voice: "Back then, you received the help of my clan and became an official in the capital, this sentiment needs to be returned!" ”

"Still, how can you pay it back?" Bai Licheng seemed to be disdainful: "Young son Helan, you are no longer the original Helan family, and the Helan clan no longer exists, as long as the official gives an order, he can bring you to justice, and even execute you unconsciously, after all, you are already a dead person, and it is okay to die again!" ”

Hearing this, Helan Wen immediately laughed: "Bai Licheng, you are Bai Licheng, since this is the case, what else to say, why did I reply to my previous letter?" ”

"Suddenly received a letter from someone who should have died, this official needs to be relieved, so he will reply to you, I don't think you really came!"

Bai Licheng got up after speaking, the teacup in his hand had not yet landed, Helanwen took out an object and gently put it on the table, Bai Licheng looked at it carefully, and the hand that was about to drop the cup stopped in mid-air.

"Lord Bai, let's do it, I'm dead, and your family won't be better!"

Helan Wen said it lightly, but Bai Licheng was already sweating profusely: "What do you want to do!" ”

Faced with questioning, Helan Wen picked up the jade seal on the table and rubbed it himself, completely ignoring Bai Licheng's appearance.
