In the south of Bianliang City, Liu Guozhang stood outside the gate of his mansion with a smile. Even in his middle age, it can still be seen that he is a graceful and handsome man.

It’s no wonder that children like the Liu Qingshui siblings were born. They were born as daughters of a restaurant family, and later in history, they were the only ones in the Song Dynasty who were granted the title of empress.

The fifth queen of Huizong Zhao Ji, Queen Huigong Wang died of illness last year, and the current Queen Xiansu is Zheng. They were all legitimate daughters of high families who were married during the reign of King Zhao Ji Duan.

Concubine Liu, on the other hand, had many sons and daughters. She made great contributions to the heirs of the royal family and was posthumously named Empress Mingda after her death.

As for Little Concubine Liu, she never gave birth to a prince purely because of her beauty. After being recommended to Zhao Ji by Yang Jian, she was named a concubine within a few years. After her death, she was posthumously named Queen of Mingjie.

Today is the day when Liu Qingshui gets married. The bride is the daughter of the Tong magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, so she is not a good match.

After all, Liu Guozhang was just a wealthy man apart from his status as the father-in-law, but his son was in a high and powerful position.

Little Concubine Liu did a lot of research before she found such a match for her brother. She also wanted him to be safe and sound.

Marrying a wife is very different from taking a concubine. For ordinary people, it is a big deal. She is the head of a family. She has to look after her husband and raise her children, but also to support the elderly. She spends all day living with her sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

When it comes to silk, linen and silk, whether one has the virtue of a wife and is docile is related to the stability and prosperity of the family.

If the old wife is obedient and harmonious, then the family will be in debt.

For princes, princes and ministers, the wife of the royal family has more functions and roles, so they should not be taken carelessly.

Early in the morning, the Liu Mansion began to get busy, and when the auspicious time came, the procession to welcome the bride finally set off.

Yang Lin smiled happily and together with Liu Guozhang, waited in front of the house to welcome the bride back. It was not until dusk that Liu Qingshui took the bride back to the house. Old Liu's face was filled with infinite joy.

The ritual music was playing and it was extremely joyful. The whole Liu family was draped in red and colorful and extremely festive.

The floor was covered with red carpet and flowers were flying. The wedding lasted until the moon hung high in the sky. The so-called ancient rituals were all performed at this time. The wedding ceremony was held at dusk and the ceremony was held at dusk.

The position of the Imperial City Department is special. In addition to the subordinates of the Imperial City Department, there are also a group of officials from Yang Lin's family who have come here recently.

Regardless of their rank, almost all officials from the Banzai Camp and the Anti-Security Factory came, except for those who were on errands.

Yang Lin and others made some teasing remarks, which made Liu Qingshui blush and went to the bridal chamber with a sigh of relief.

Yang Lin held the wine pot, lowered his voice, and said to Yang Jian next to him: "Brother, Tong Guan has been quite active recently. I heard that he has requested orders from His Majesty and led the Shengjie Army to Hebei. If this thief instigates

Your Majesty, if you rush to attack Yan, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to win."

Yang Jian still had his standard kind smile and said: "Our Eunuch Liang has just been promoted to the title of Grand Tutor of the School. He paid homage to Taiwei and moved to Huainan as Jiedushi. From now on, Liang Dujian will be Liang Taiwei. Tong

It is extremely difficult to deal with being linked together with him. He is currently in the limelight, and our opposition to conquering Yan will probably not have the slightest effect.

The official family has tasted the benefits of opening up the border in recent years. When Xixia destroyed the imperial court, they gained more than one million yuan, and even had the honor of offering the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

All the kings and emperors of the Song Dynasty did not want to conquer Youyan in the north. Now, only in the official generation, we really have millions of war horses, which is worthy of a standing start. Now it seems that it is not difficult to implement the expedition against Yan."

Yang Lin frowned. According to his plan, provoking the Khitans now would be a bad move.

Powerful foreign enemies will most likely reunite the Khitan. Although this huge empire is in its twilight years, it still has terrifying strength.

If the Song Dynasty fell into the quagmire of war with the Khitan, then other small countries, like the Jurchens, would take advantage of the chaos and rise, which would probably be smoother than in the original history.

"Find a public speaker with a small official position and read his book first." Yang Lin said in a deep voice.

Yang Jian thought about it, and it made sense. At this time, when Liang Shicheng had the highest official position, as long as someone started, how could the civil servants of the Song Dynasty be happy to see a eunuch reach this level?

Yang Jian was also a eunuch himself, and he was very aware of the arrogance and conceit inherent in civil servants.

Now I have no choice but to use this trick to interrupt Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan's plan, even if it is only temporary.

Next, Yang Lin will go to the northwest, and then he will find a way to solve the Mongolian issue, so as not to give the Khitan and the Song Dynasty a reason to start a war.

Although the Northern Expedition was a good thing, in later history, the Khitans were killed by the Jurchens and their bodies were everywhere. When the country was in chaos and on the verge of subjugation, they could kill Tong Guan and return in defeat.

Now Tong Guan can regain Youyan and Henggebeidi?

Yang Lin believes that he obviously does not have this ability. Whether the Northern Expedition can succeed depends on the Western Army.

Although the soldiers and horses recruited by Hebei are good at fighting people who have faced the Khitan's march south all year round, after all, they have not been tempered by hundreds of years of bloody battles.

After the Western Army has trained its cavalry and the country has recuperated and regained its strength, it will be a good time to capture Youyan in one fell swoop.

After drinking till midnight, Yang Lin called an official to his table and whispered to him.

Yan Guan nodded frequently, with a serious look on his face, as if he had made up his mind.

That night, Chen He, the admonishment secretary, had a lamp in his study room, and he was writing straightly with his pen in hand.

In the center of the study room, there was a small box of gold cakes, which inspired him to immerse himself in writing even more.

In the morning of the next day, Chen He went out to the court with a hand in hand and said loudly:

"In today's Taining, China and abroad, Your Majesty pays attention to the etiquette and propriety, and the eunuch surnamed Liang is a famous teacher who is good at flattering and hopes for favor. When he enters the palace, all the imperial books and orders are handed out by him, and many good scribes are selected to imitate the emperor's books.

For those who, outside the General Privy Council, presided over the affairs of the state internally, used celebrities to aid traitors, stole literary names to sell their fake names, used Taoist ideas exclusively for flattery, and engaged in lewdness in order to seduce the upper body, Liang Shicheng was the real one.

Your Majesty, Fu Wei, has prescribed the canonical punishment to punish Liang Shicheng for his crimes."

There was silence in the court hall. Chen He's palms were sweating and his heart was beating like a drum.

Cai Jing, Yang Lin, Wang Fu, Cai Bian and other members of the prime minister's team all looked downcast and seemed not to have heard anything.

Liang Shicheng knelt down to plead guilty and confessed his grievances. Zhao Ji's face was gloomy and he ordered Chen He to be expelled from Bianliang. Liang Shicheng was fined a month's salary, and then he got up and left the court angrily.

The party struggle used this method to completely disrupt the tacit understanding and rules of the temple. Zhao Ji did not want to see this kind of messy situation.

He likes a peaceful court, and even if it is fake peace, he must make enough effort to appear peaceful.

Zhao Ji, who was extremely smart, just didn't want to worry about state affairs and was not a fool.

After retiring from the imperial court, Yang Lin sent someone to take Chen He to the Long Live Camp and escorted his family all the way to Mizhou, ignoring the document issued by his subordinates from the province denouncing him to Qiongzhou.
