Chapter 88 Retaining people for the game

As the saying goes, there are ears on the wall. Lv Huiqing and Li Jiao are so blatantly discussing bribery. Aren't they afraid that people will hear it?

To be precise, they are really not very afraid. One reason is that the two of them are sitting in the corner, and in their opinion, there are no acquaintances in the restaurant. Second, the voices of the two of them are extremely low. Such a noisy place has drowned the low voices of the two people, not to mention even occasionally When people hear it, they will also think that they are just talking about state affairs and political affairs, and they may not really listen carefully.

Seeing that Lv Huiqing was prepared to come to the capital this time, Li Jiao was envious for no reason: "Brother Lv, you have made it clear that you are an official. You have to rely on big trees in this officialdom. If you say that you are much better than me, Sima Hanlin is very dead. You can take more care of me in the future."

"Look at what you said, if this innovation is done well, you will be successful, but if you can't do it well, I have to count on you to support me at that time." It seems that a consensus has been reached between the two of them.

The lively atmosphere in the Zhennan Palace is not inferior to the Jinxiu Building. The only difference is that the Jinxiu Building is in a mess, and everyone is talking, and what comes from the banquet hall of the royal palace is the king's side to celebrate the reunion and the cheers of the crowd.

Man often walked into the banquet hall and came to the king. Looking at the noisy atmosphere in the hall, he was happy for the king from his heart, but there was a trace of sadness. Although Wang was very good to him and his family, after all, he was once a general who received everyone's cheers. Now he has become a guest of the prince of the Song Dynasty. The sadness in his heart is obvious. Yes,

"Your Majesty, someone is asking to see you." With that, he handed a letter to the king,

The king opened the letterhead and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of doubt and a little joy: "Where are the people?"

"Wait in the lobby."

He Libo was laughing with everyone in a loud voice. The king patted He Libo on the shoulder: "Brother He, go and meet me."

The three of them quickly walked out of the banquet hall, with laughter behind them. He Libo followed the king and asked, "Who's here?"

Wang said mysteriously, "You will know as soon as you see it."

The door in the hall of the front hall of the palace was open, and the bodyguards standing outside the hall waited motionlessly. The three of them stepped up the steps and entered the hall. There was a middle-aged man standing in the hall, looking at the ingenious and unique building with appreciation and curiosity. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man looked up and saw the king and others coming in. Welcome up quickly,

"Your Majesty, do you still remember me?"

"Of course, of course, how can I forget you,"

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few years. The prince is getting more and more heroic."

The two of them held hands. This is really an old friend I haven't seen for a long time. He Liba exclaimed, "Oh, Xin Linya, why are you? Why did you come to the capital?"

Xin Zan noticed this time that there was an old acquaintance beside Wang: "Isn't this General Wanyan? Don't call me Lin Ya. I haven't done it for a long time."

The king asked Xin Zan to sit down, and He Libohe sat down with him. Xin Zan looked at the man beside the king: "This general is also a little familiar. Has he ever been to Daliao with the prince in those years?"

I often heard that this is Xin Zan from Daliao. He quickly replied, "I have never been to Daliao. You think I am familiar or have met my father."

"Your father is."

As a result, Wang said, "Mr. Xin, do you know General Manma of Xixia?"

"I know, oh, I said, disrespectful." Xin Zan hurriedly said,

He nodded politely, and then asked the king, "If the prince doesn't have any instructions, I'll go to all kinds of inspections first."

When Man often came out of the room, Xin praised, "I didn't expect that the prince's account were all capable people. That Man is a general in Xixia. The tiger father has no dog son. It's a pity that the old general is the wrong person."

This sigh is quite a bit of sympathy,

He Libo said, "Hey, that's all over. Anyway, it's not wrong to follow my brother. By the way, what's the matter with Mr. Xin coming to the Song Dynasty this time?"

The king was also about to ask, so he looked at Xin Zan and waited for him to answer,

Xin Zan pondered and said, "To be honest, I didn't come here for business this time. I have resigned from office in Dalian."

"Resignation." Wang took a look at He Libo, and He Libo nodded. He had heard about this since he came back from Yongzhou.

"Alas, the things in the court, the bitch is in charge, so he just quit." Xin Zan frowned and clenched his fist and hammered the edge of the table.

"What you said is."

"It's not the traitor of Yelu Yixin. This man is very ambitious. At first, no one really noticed that at first. Your Highness, do you still remember the time when you attacked Xixia? At that time, the Liao Dynasty sent King Xiao to deal with the Song Dynasty."

Wang said, "Remember, if I remember correctly, King Xiao is still in Liao."

"Yes, Yelu Yixin had begun to lay out at that time. First, he took over the military power of King Xiao, saying that it would prevent Xixia from coming refugees from the southwest of the Liao Dynasty. Later, there was a rebellion in Targan. The emperor listened to Yelu Yixin's words and sent Yelu Ren to quell the chaos first. In this way, the power of the dynasty fell to Yelu Yixin. In his hand, when Yelu Ren calmed down the chaos and came back, he wanted to return to the leather room army. At the beginning, Yelu Yixin was still afraid. Later, he simply took advantage of his power and accepted bribes wantonly. His flattering people were recommended, and loyal ministers were rejected.

The more Xin Zan talked, the more angry he became: "Not only that, he also broke the long-term situation of the Liao Dynasty, the division of the Northern and Southern Courts, and the harmonious coexistence between the Han people and the Khitans. Anyway, I have different political views from him, so I simply resigned."

"What about the emperor? Do you know he is like this?" He Liba asked anxiously,

"Your Majesty, our Yelu Hongji sings and dances every day. The major events in the court are handled by Yelu Yixin, and even the memorials can't be handed over, let alone seeing the emperor."

He Liba was still puzzled. He turned his head and looked at the king: "Brother, the emperor was not like this before. When he first succeeded to the throne, I remember what people said. By the way, please speak frankly, visit the road, persuade farmers to study, and relieve disaster relief. It's considerable, and it's also good for all parts of our women. Now how How can it become like this?

Wang Bian seemed not to be surprised by this at all. He said lightly: "When Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was at the time when Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty was in power. Although there was an alliance of Tanyuan, it can be seen that our Song Dynasty was the time when the culture and economy were flourishing. At that time, the Western Xia was when Li Liangzuo participated in state affairs and conspired with Liang Luoyao to eradicate it. The Tibetan family regained the imperial power. To the outside world, both the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty could not be underestimated. Internally, there was also the uncle of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Zongyuan, who plotted to rebel. When he was in trouble at home and abroad, of course, Yelu Hongji did not dare to indulge, but now it is different. There is only half a breath left in the Western Xia. I, the Song Dynasty, was a new emperor in his early twenties, and Yan Yun was almost all in the big Liao's hand, so Yelu Hongji was relieved. What's more, as for my understanding of him, this man does not like war. Most of the emperors who are generally fluent in rhythm, good at calligraphy and painting, and love poetry may not work hard in the imperial platform.

Xin Zan listened and raised his thumb and said, "Your Majesty, you are so right. Now the emperor's daily wine and sex songs do not pay attention to the government at all, so that Yelu Yixin can take advantage of it."

Wang Zong smiled. This was bound to happen, and he should have known the result, but now many things may be different. He is brewing a bigger thing, that is, to let the State of Liao force debts to Xixia, but no one can help him in this matter. If Yelü Hongji is not so paralyzed, I'm afraid he will The game can't be done yet. Thinking of this, Wang asked, "Mr. Xin, what's your plan to come to the Song Dynasty?"

Xin Zan said, "You also know that I have always liked the culture of the Song Dynasty. Now that the dog is young, I plan to move my family to the Central Plains. In addition, I know that compared with the people who learned from the Song Dynasty, I am shallow, so I also want to ask the prince to help me find a better husband for the dog to be his teacher."

He Li Bo patted his thigh: "Hey, you've found the right person." He pointed to the king: "There is a school in the prince's house, and even Uncle Ouyang Yong is teaching in the king's house now. Where can you find it?"

Xin Zan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Not to mention finding a gentleman for his son, it was enough to let Ouyang Xiu be his own husband. However, although he had repaired the twin towers and conquered Japanese slaves with the king in those years, he is now the prince of the Song Dynasty. He said that he was a retired official of Liao. If it was not good, it was actually A civilian who has left Liaoning, can the king be willing?

Wang saw that Xin Zan was hesitant, so he said, "There is a shortage of people in my house. My former shogunate Mr. Hou has been transferred to Yongzhou as an assassin. There are several knowledgeable shogunate in the house, but they all understand the national conditions of the Song Dynasty. You know, I have all my business everywhere, including with Daliao. I have always hoped. There is a person who knows the customs of Daliao and the situation of Daliao to help me. Can Xin Gong agree to this matter?

Xin Zan saw that Wang was very sincere. Unexpectedly, this prince was still the same as before. After so many years of officialdom, he still maintained his sincerity.

"This, the matter of Daliao, isn't there General Wanyan?" Xin Zan looked at He Liba in embarrassment,

"Cher, Mr. Xin, don't mention me. I'm a rude person. Besides, I haven't stayed in Dalian for nearly ten years. Occasionally, I only go back for a few months, and then I can't bear my brother. Our prince just let me stay and become a waste. You're welcome. It would be great if you could come." He Liyu said with a more sincere smile,

The king really wants to keep Xin Zan. He knows Xin Zan's talents and abilities. The two work together and appreciate Xin Zan very much.

"Mr. Xin, if you feel condescending, why don't I recommend you to the court and let you hold a part-official position in the Song Dynasty? What do you think?"

Xin Zan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I won't be a minister of Liao, and I don't plan to be an official of the Song Dynasty. Besides, I don't know anything about the Song Dynasty except poetry and culture. Besides, I don't mean that. In contrast, I prefer to stay in the royal palace, but I have to go back to pick up their mother and son."
