    Bianliang City was already crowded with people, and countless people poured onto the streets, waiting to watch this lively ceremony.  From Nanxunmen to Yujie, on both sides of the streets and alleys, there are heads protruding from every height.  On both sides of the windows of the residents facing the street, pure copper was sold for huge prices.  The business in the restaurant facing the street is even more booming, with men in green shirts and girls in red sleeves holding their hands and looking out the windows.  There were also low chants, which sounded in Bianliang City for the first time in the morning.  Such a scene can really be called a sea of ????people, rubbing shoulders and heels, huffing and puffing, and sweating like rain.  Over the past hundred years, there have been hundreds of Shang Diji in the Song Dynasty. Plus the number of county monarchs and county heads, they are too numerous to count.  However, when choosing a son-in-law, the Great Song Dynasty family never chooses from high-ranking families. Even if there are occasional exceptions, they are the sons who have little progress in their official career and will never be able to be in charge of important tasks of the central government.  But as the Prince Consort, his whole life is nothing more than serving the daughter of the Heavenly Family, and living his life in poetry and wine.  In the politics of the Song Dynasty, the princes and princes never made any waves. ??????????????? And the Emperor Ji of the Song Dynasty, although generally not as dissolute as the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the princess of the Tang Dynasty who could intervene in the government affairs.  But the Prince Consort was still on the weaker side compared to the Emperor Ji.  A little prince captain, who was a bit more romantic, treated his wife, the emperor's concubine, in a non-cooperative and non-visiting manner.  They were all severely disliked and despised by the people in the court, and they were even more hated by the banned concubines, empress dowagers and other figures. Zhao Ji suffered a lot from his dealings with him back then. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As for those businessmen who are full of copper odor, marrying a bunch of county bosses and the like is just to get a status as a sanitation officer.  Since the reform of the Yingmiao Environmental Protection Officer.  The Lord of Duzhong County.  There is even a tendency to worry about getting married.  The nostrils are always pointed upward.  A native of Bianliang who considers himself a citizen of the sacred imperial capital.  Maybe the excitement of the prince's wedding can arouse some interest. It's just an imperial concubine. If anyone tells this news, he will be disgraced in the wine shop. ????????????????? But how can this ceremony of the Emperor¡¯s concubine¡¯s marriage be compared with the ordinary?  There is no need to say the identities of the man and the woman.  People from Bianliang, up to the white-haired old man.  From young to young, everyone is familiar with it.  The most important thing is that I don¡¯t know when a rumor started to spread in Bianliang. It is still a fresh news.  It¡¯s in the direction of Hedong Road, and there are Jurchen Tatars harassing us.  King Yan wanted to borrow Shang Diji's identity.  It is necessary to use the status of son-in-law to support the prince and leave Hedong.  It seems that the emperor will be settled in Hedong.  At the same time, he managed the Hedong area into the vassal state of King Yan and maintained his eye on Bianliang.  If Bianliang does not move the vassal state of King Yan, then King Yan will be happy to be at peace with the court.  If Bianliang has the tendency to cut down the feudal vassal, King Yan will support the crown prince to restore his throne without any hesitation, and then fight back to the capital!  A wedding will involve political disputes between two generations of kings.  This excitement is of great value to spread the word and attract onlookers.  Regarding Yan Wang Xiao Yan, most people in Bianliang had complicated feelings.  ??For the vast majority of ordinary people.  Why is Xiao Yan not a legend?  Who doesn't want to think that in the morning, the body will be white, and in the evening, the body will be in the palace.  A vassal state that has the most beautiful woman in the Tian family, and all the way to the east of the river, she wants everything for her?  Although everyone was shocked when the palace changed, in reality, the most unlucky ones were the prince's Qingliu party and the family of generals who were members of the Imperial Guard.  Other people were not harassed.  Even those former Forbidden Army sergeants who were dismissed had nothing to hate against Xiao Yan.  Should I work or work, should I be a craftsman or be a craftsman? It turns out that with a 30% discount on salary, I can't get much, and the rice grain should be exploited in the way of making money.  Now I just get wages, which are more generous than the nominally generous salary and rice grains before.  Moreover, after they were dismissed by name, King Yan was generous, and each person actually received five ounces of pure copper as severance pay.  With King Yan like this, no one would have to give a thumbs up and call him a hero.  The so-called hero is someone who can achieve miraculous achievements in the eyes of others!  ??However, people in Bianliang have been under the rule of the official family surnamed Zhao for a long time, and there has been peace for more than a hundred years.  I still can't stand Xiao Yan's domineering attitude as he masters the three auspicious treasures of the Zhao family.  He is even more worried about the usurpation of power that Xiao Yan will inevitably initiate in the future.  When a powerful minister has reached his level, where is there any room for retreat?  I'm afraid Bianliang will be turned into a slaughterhouse by then!  The palace change on February 2nd is enough if it happens once. If it happens several times, how can everyone survive?  So when the rumor came out that Xiao Yan was going to leave Hedong to serve as the emperor, the people of Bianliang didn't care whether the Jurchen Tatars who existed as the background of the rumors really came over.  As long as King Yan is willing to go out and join the feudal vassal, everyone will breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.  " Xiao Yan has made great achievements in defeating Yan, and now he is in charge of a strong army.  If you want to send this great god as a gift, it would be better to treat Hedong as a vassal state.  King Yan and the Supreme Being are there.  Whatever they do, even if King Yan has itchy hands and wants to beat the Jurchen Tatars or any Tatars, that's all up to King Yan's wishes.  It's really not enough,So what if the land of Yan snatched back from the Liao people was transferred to the King of Yan?  As long as Bianliang is still singing and dancing, as long as the golf market by the Jinshui Bridge is still filled with excitement every time there is a game, as long as the shadows of boats are shuttled back and forth on the Bian River, and the material wealth of the entire Song Dynasty is continuously sent to the capital, as long as those Tatars  The news about Zihu people is still far away, it is just a matter of conversation.  King Yan, it is best to leave Bianliang.  Since King Yan is leaving, it¡¯s hard to miss such a rare hero in a hundred years, not to mention the most beautiful emperor in the Tian family?  The people of Bianliang rushed to the streets because they couldn't believe it.  It added a hundred times more excitement to this grand ceremony!  People¡¯s minds naturally have a lot of wishful thinking because of the difference in information they have.  But those who are in the situation think more deeply and see more clearly.  Knowing that this big wedding will set off a storm in the future.  And this is also the final chance to defeat Xiao Yan, who is so reckless in this world!  It is above a restaurant. Only here, the bay window that sticks out from the eaves is half-closed. Occasionally, a person appears in front of the window. After a quick glance, he disappears.  It was as if he didn't want to see this big fuss.  Such a scene made the people watching around them feel sorry for them.  This restaurant is one of the seventy-two restaurants in Bianliang. Originally, the price was quite high when one was drunk.  Today, it is not necessary to practice more than ten or twenty guan to sit by the window.  How come such people are so wasteful?  If it weren't for the huge crowd of people, a group of idle people would have to go upstairs to take a look.  If there is no foundation.  Such a careless person.  If you don't write a few words, it will make people feel really uncomfortable.  In the elegant room, there were a group of scholar-bureaucrats sitting, all wearing Taoist robes, no crowns, just ebony horizontal hairpins.  The big sleeves are fluttering, showing the spaciousness.  It seems that everyone has been tired of traveling in the officialdom, and from now on, they wear shoes, bamboo horses, and Taoist robes.  An idle person who places his affection among the mountains and rivers.  The man sitting at the table was none other than Geng Nanzhong, who never lost his headstrong attitude.  As soon as I saw this old Master Geng here, it was obvious that he was a newly minted man in Bianliang City.  The Qingliu Party members surrounding the deposed prince.  Although Xiao Yan let these characters go lightly.  Cai Jing also took good care of her and provided her with the support money on time every month.  A worry-free life can be considered a worry-free life. Logically speaking, one should live with one's tail between one's legs and wait for a while to live a stable life.  But for the civil servants and officials, ending their career prospects is not much better than killing them.  The frightened night of the palace incident was over, and a group of people had no choice but to dig in and find a crack.  I want to find another supporter.  However, although Cai Jing was given the money, he had no intention of using them again.  A group of people were running around in Bianliang.  He communicates everywhere, but he prides himself on being a solitary minister.  But the integrity he showed couldn't help anything.  Under Cai Jing's door, there was a bustle of people staring at the many empty seats in the court, busy playing the game of promotion.  Xiao Yan had strong soldiers on his side, and for a moment he didn't show any flaws. For fear of the Qiu Ba under Xiao Yan's command, few people in the court dared to get close to them.  Even Zhao Kai, who was extremely poor and bored, never thought of recruiting them. Back then, this group of clean-blooded people had almost driven Zhao Kai to the edge!  And even if Zhao Kai and them were both interested, Jin Zhangxian and the royal squad were standing in the middle, how could they have any chance?  As the political situation becomes more and more desperate, for civil servants and officials, it is customary at this time to pretend to be crazy and escape from the world.  A group of people put on Taoist robes and mango shoes, and wandered around Bianliang wine shops and houses every day. Even if they were called by the emperor and could not get on the boat, since Yun Chen was like a wine-dwelling immortal.  After being fed up with the yellow soup, he made all kinds of roundabout complaints to the officials in power.  If he drank a few more cents, he would just drink like crazy and call anyone who tried to persuade him a vulgar person.  There has been such a fuss for a while, and even the boys in the house know that these people are absolutely disgusting.  Fewer and fewer people are looking at them.  These people made a fuss for a while, some felt they were bored, and some were still afraid of Xiao Yan's attack, so they gradually dispersed.  However, there is still a core group of people headed by Geng Nanzhong who are still staying in Bianliang, waiting hard for an opportunity to reverse the situation.  I don¡¯t know if good results will come if you persist, or if Mr. Geng finally got lucky.  The waiting time was not that long when news came that the Jurchens had invaded Hedong. The foundation of Xiao Yan's strong army was likely to be shaken. Xiao Yan couldn't wait to complete the wedding process and wanted to lead him out of the capital to fight in Hedong!  If Xiao Yan really holds the tens of thousands of military horses that can continue to expand and sits firmly in Bianliang, with the support of Hedong military horses outside, Geng Nanzhong and the others will hate Xiao Yan to the bone in their hearts no matter how hard they curse.  In fact, there is no way to defeat Thief Xiao until the day he returns to the court and feels proud.  But for some reason, Thief Xiao did not stay in Bianliang, but decided to go to Hedong in person!  According to Geng Nanzhong¡¯s thinking, since he can control the center, he will not let go even to death. He will infiltrate day and night, cultivate his power, and gradually seize the power of the center.?.  This is the standard behavior of a powerful minister, not to mention that Xiao Yan is backed by thousands of powerful troops who are almost his private army than ordinary powerful ministers!  If things go on like this, it is still unknown whether Zhao Kai will serve as Emperor of the Han Dynasty.  "The Jurchen Tatars, even if they invade Hedong, what's the big deal?"  These Tatars just plundered and then retreated naturally.  Where could it be more important than to have such an important position of power in Bianliang?  However, this Xiao thief thought he was invincible, and God had taken his soul away, so he actually wanted to leave Bianliang!  Because of this, even if today is the wedding of Xiao Thief, whom everyone hates the most, everyone still has a smile on their face that cannot be concealed.  As the noise outside became more and more noisy, the discussion inside became more and more heated.  " God is tired of the chaos. This Xiao thief has finally lost his mind. How can we leave Bianliang so easily?"  , should we support the Supreme Prince and the Crown Prince to leave Hedong together? Once there is a change in Bianliang, we can also support the Crown Prince or the Crown Prince to return, and then there will be a fight. This Xiao thief is not an easy person  " "Even if Thief Xiao shows his flaws, this arrangement puts me in a bit of a dilemma.  Why don't we hold on to the three kings tightly and use this as a banner to contact the Western Army and other powerful forces to consolidate our position?  There are many obstacles" "Of course we still care about the prince and pray for him day and night. But if Xiao Thief really establishes the prince in Hedong, how will we deal with it?" "  Even if Xiao Thief were to support him in Hedong, he would only support the Crown Prince! How could he ever rise again as he was still being humiliated and monitored by Xiao Thief?  We have to stay in Bianliang to build up our strength and finally eradicate the Xiao thief, so that the crown prince's status can be restored!" "Brother, that's right! How can we go to that remote place in the east of Hedong to serve Xiao thief?  Work hard for the future! If my husband supports the three kings, we might as well go to the three kings to contact them.  Don't you need wings to solidify your position? I'm pretending to be a prince, but the three kings may not have the opportunity to use it. Although I am worshiping the master in Yanfu Palace, my heart is still waiting for the prince.  The Xiao thief is defeated, return the prince, and regain his position! " "Brother, this is really an old man's advice to seek the country. I admire you! But I don't know what kind of connections you have that can allow us to hide our original ambitions temporarily!  , will it be effective before the arrival of the three kings?" Everyone was talking about the way out after this incident.  The usual spacious and unrestrained appearance was thrown away somewhere.  Geng Nanzhong was upset when he heard this. He suddenly slapped the tables in front of him and said, "Stop!" The people waiting immediately fell silent and looked at Geng Nazhong.  It should be said that Geng Nanzhong is also a person who has resigned from the throne. No longer trusted by the prince, he will be an important minister who will secure his position as the envoy and prime minister of the East Palace in the future.  But despite the years of accumulated power, it has still not completely dissipated.  And Cai Jing was also more polite to Geng Nanzhong.  For Cai Jing, it is naturally better to cultivate a person who can still take the lead and have prestige among these clean old parties than to have them fall apart and run around everywhere.  You must know that these old-fashioned parties have no hope of success, but they are good at bad things.  That's why Cai Jingcai treated Geng Nazhong with all kinds of courtesy, making him still remain at the core of these people who have lost power.  Geng Nanzhong looked at the people present with a livid complexion.  He is just headstrong, but not stupid.  How do you not know that people of this generation are actually of no great use?  It is nothing more than asking these people to build up the momentum of the Qingliu Old Party.  If this momentum no longer exists, this party will truly reach a dead end.  Geng Nanzhong himself didn¡¯t quite understand how to take advantage of this opportunity, and he didn¡¯t discuss it with these people.  But last night, I lowered my profile and went to pay homage to Yu Wenxuzhong, who was about to leave Beijing.  Yu Wenxuzhong promised Li Gang to serve for him after the military information from Hedong came.  Zongze went to the Western Army, and he was about to leave the capital secretly to contact the Yongning Army.  Geng Nazhong came to pay homage at night. Yu Wenxuzhong didn't want to say anything more, but Geng Nazhong really lowered his posture this time and actually fell to the ground. If Yu Wenxuzhong hadn't taught him, he would never get up again!  At this point, the friendship between Yu Wenxuzhong and Geng Nanzhong for more than ten years can no longer be evaded.  He can only work hard and give advice to Geng Nanzhong for the last time.  As for Yu Wenxuzhong himself, he has gone to Hebei and has no intention of entering Bianliang again.  From then on, he became a white-clad staff member in the Yongning army.  Ma Kuo Wang Zhen also has a friendship with him, so he must be able to get through life.  How could Geng Nanzhong not understand that this was also their last chance?  My heart has been heavy these past two days.  But the people in this group of comrades in front of me are actually talking about whether they are surrendering to the three kings Zhao??Under that false master's door.  He really couldn't bear it anymore.  After drinking it, everyone held their breath.  Geng Nanzhong said coldly: "Do you still think that we still have time to calmly retreat to camp? Since Xiao thief dares to leave the capital, he is well prepared to burn the boat if necessary. If we don't make preparations early, will we wait for Xiao in the future?  The thief returned to the army and wiped out Bianliang with blood? Thief Xiao spared me once, but there is no chance that he will do it a second time!" Everyone looked at each other, and one person asked indifferently: "I dare to ask Mr. Xi what should I do?  , we will all obey. " "In the past, everyone dared to be polite to Geng Nanzhong, but secretly regarded this stubborn old master as a fool.  But now it's impossible. All the subsidies from Cai Jing and these people who have lost power are only sent to Geng Nanzhong's house.  How to distribute.  Directed by Geng Nanzhong.  Living in Bianliang is not easy.  Geng Nanzhong holds the financial power.  Even if Geng Nanzhong resigned, everyone was ten times more respectful to him than before.  Geng Nanzhong called everyone here today just to assign tasks.  Are you really here to support Xiao Yan's wedding ceremony?  He was not polite at the moment, he folded his fingers and gave the order.  "Xiao Thief brought it upon himself, we must not miss this opportunity! We should unite with Mr. Liang Xi and create momentum in Bianliang. On the one hand, the three kings must not be supported by Xiao Thief.  Beijing! There will be a stir in the government and the public. If the three kings don't support Xiao Yan, they will kill the king and become independent!"  When Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan left the capital, it could at most be said that they had the ability to resist any changes in Bianliang.  Victory or defeat is yet to be determined.  But if Zhao Kai is also taken out of the capital, two generations of kings will be in the palm of his hand.  It can be said that they can move forward and retreat freely. Even if the outsiders are strong, they still have to worry about Xiao Yan's reputation. That's when the real trouble comes.  And Yu Wenxuzhong also believed that Xiao Yan must have made a plan to take Zhao Kai out of the capital!  There was a loud uproar from the crowd.  In the tavern and the tiled roofs, the yin and yang utterances and complaints were made with just opening one's mouth, creating such a trend among the government and the public.  That's a naked face-breaking act.  Aren't you afraid that Xiao Yan will go on a killing spree to suppress this trend?  ?Looking at everyone¡¯s pale faces and trembling lips.  Geng Nanzhong sneered: "What do you have to fear? If Xiao Thief's command is still from the Hedong border army, we should still be afraid of Xiao Thief's death. Nowadays, most of Xiao Thief's subordinates are native children of Bianliang! Who wants to meet people from Bianliang?  If there is another chaos and the bloodbath in the palace begins, as long as the three kings remain in power, the people under his command will naturally become disloyal!  How many of them are willing to follow Xiao Thief on an expedition to the north and never return to the capital for the rest of his life? There are people in the court who promise those Bianliang native soldiers to be powerful. If Xiao Thief is to act harshly, it will probably be a war.  You must know that the number of confidants Xiao Thief can really use to suppress the entire army is only two or three thousand!" Yu Wenxuzhong saw this very accurately.  And how could Cai Jing and others not see it?  Xiao Yan's biggest weakness now is that this Bianliang Shenwu victorious army is not enough.  Although he relied on his control of financial power to massacre the Imperial Guards, he now managed to pull out such an army.  But most of the officers and soldiers are still from Bianliang, even those who defend the imperial army are no exception.  Those who are truly dedicated to Xiao Yan's use are only two to three thousand.  If you live in Bianliang, you can use it to suppress the government.  This army and horse can only obey Xiao Yan's orders.  However, it was necessary to drag this army to the frontier fortress east of the river. From then on, they fought hard and found it difficult to return to the capital.  There is so much room for action.  The army is controlled by layers of backbones, and Xiao Yan has too few backbones in Bianliang.  Now Hedong Shenwu's ever-victorious army is contained again.  However, Xiao Yan did not shrink the Hedong Army back and instead wanted to conquer it himself. This exposed his biggest weakness! ? Such contact and contact created a trend.  Hold Xiao Yan's hands and feet.  If Xiao Yan wanted to mobilize the border troops to Beijing, the liaisons he had to send out had already brought back the Western Army's Yongning Army and other strong towns.  However, the possibility of Xiao Yan going on a killing spree to cleanse Bianliang was very low.  Unless he doesn't want to live either.  And he is really not afraid that at some point, most of the Bianliang Shenwu Changsheng Army will turn against Xiao Yan first?  "If Xiao Yan, a strong man, had his wrist broken, he would leave the capital in a hurry with his Majesty and Crown Prince and his few thousands of confidants.  Then wouldn't it be easy to capture such a lost dog?  " Xiao Yan's strong point is the strong army deployed in Hedong.  It was closer to Bianliang than the Western Army, and much stronger than the Yongning Army.  From a high position, overlooking the two wings of Shaanxi and Hebei, you can firmly contain the powerful towns in the north.  Xiao Yan can raise a new army and stir up trouble in Bianliang. No one dares to do anything for a while.  But his strong point was suddenly restrained by the Jurchen Tatars, and Xiao Yan did not want to shrink.  Naturally, there are flaws all over!  That¡¯s why old treacherous and cunning people like Cai Jing suddenly acted decisively and launched internal and external actions.  He tried to force Xiao Yan into confusion with one move, and made desperate arrangements for Xiao Yan at every turn, and finally overthrew this powerful official who had never been seen before in the Song Dynasty!  The so-called old manBeing cunning does not mean being perfunctory and forbearing.  When you really see an opportunity, you will never hesitate!  Geng Nanzhong patiently explained it to a group of people. In the end, these frightened people reluctantly accepted it.  Each took their orders and prepared to stir up trouble between the ruling and opposition parties.  The old party has been out of power for a long time, and the political dispute between the DPRK and China is almost raging. However, it has always been good at arousing public opinion. Otherwise, it would not have survived until now, and it has even pushed Cai Jing out of power several times.  Seeing how timid they were, Geng Nanzhong gave a few words of encouragement, but he just sneered in his heart.  With such a big plan, this group of people will not be of great use.  What really helps is the strong towns outside that also see opportunities.  They are the traveling friends of Mr. Liang Xi, who is in the same party as her husband, or even has world-wide aspirations!  Geng Nanzhong is looking forward to the restoration of the crown prince.  But it is no longer the most important thing in my heart.  The most important thing is to eliminate Xiao Yan as soon as possible, who has shaken the ruling system of the Song Dynasty and will definitely attack the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty in the future!  Even if I run for my husband, even if the one who finally reigns is not the prince, I still have no regrets!  The biggest enemy is Xiao Yan!  There was a huge cheers from the outside, and it seemed to be turning over the whole building.  Geng Nanzhong stood up slowly, walked to the window, and leaned on the railing to look.  From the south, we saw banners fluttering and guards of honor arranged.  Surrounded by huge crowds of people on both sides of the road, hundreds of tigers in brocade clothes were slowly approaching one person.  "The horse is as white as a dragon, wearing a crimson robe, a jade belt tightly girdles the waist, the eyebrows are straight, and the temples are slightly frosted.  Sitting on the horse as straight as a sword.  It is Xiao Yan.  Countless ladies of the Song Dynasty sprinkled countless petals from the upstairs on both sides, fluttering like a powder snow.  The people on the street were drunk and cheering wildly, and the waves were as high as the waves.  At this moment, Xiao Yan seemed to be at the peak of his life.  "Someday I will be here in Bianliang, in this world, where enemies are everywhere and my subordinates turn their backs.  What did you think at that time, a thief like me?  This Song Dynasty is, after all, our Song Dynasty!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
