Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 113
After Emperor Huizong took Earl Ying to sit down, Emperor Huizong saw that the weather had been fine recently, with no clouds in the sky and a clear sky, and he was in a good mood for a while.

The original depression due to the inability to write a picture of mountains and rivers that can reach thousands of miles has been eliminated by the bright sun.

He picked up a glass of wine from the table, placed it in front of Earl Ying, and said selflessly: "I originally thought that you would not come to Bianliang City until a year later, but who knew that this boy Cai Jing was so scheming that he used clever tricks to lure you away?" I was called from Qinghe County."

Ever since Earl Ying got on Emperor Huizong's carriage, he had been feeling nervous. Until now, his heart is still high.

When he heard Emperor Huizong say this, he burst out laughing.

With a trembling smile, he said, "What do you think, Your Majesty? Grand Master Cai is really brilliant. I always thought that Grand Master Cai was the so-called Xu San."

"At that time in Qinghe County, I was still telling people in my family that Mr. Xu San said that Mr. Chen, who had been kind to me, had a relapse of his old illness."

"Perhaps I only have a few days left in this world. I was so anxious at that time that I wanted to get to Bianliang City as quickly as possible no matter what."

"I don't care about anything, even if I turn into a bird and fly here, I'm willing to do whatever it takes!"

Such a treasonous thing was put on the table, but Cai Jing was not nervous at all.

Cai Jing just smiled at Emperor Huizong and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this Wei Chen's method clever enough?"

Emperor Huizong just smiled, nodded repeatedly and said: "Brilliant, really brilliant!"

Emperor Huizong smiled for a moment and was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone from the palace reporting that Count Ying's family members had been brought into the palace.

Earl Ying was nervous, and the wine glasses in his hand fell to the ground.

Emperor Huizong looked very excited and said quickly to the palace officials: "Bring Guanghou's family to me quickly!"

In an instant, two eunuchs led the way, and six people, Jin Lian, Chun Mei, Ping'er, Ying'er, Huan'er and Zhao Xiangzhu, walked quickly with their heads lowered.

Except for Zhao Xiangzhu, the others were trembling all over.

Earl Ying was flattered, stood up from his seat, walked quickly to Jin Lian and others, and said urgently: "The Holy One is here, why don't you kneel down to pay your respects?"

Jin Lian and others had been stunned for a long time. When they heard what Earl Ying said, they all trembled and quickly knelt on the ground as if by mistake.

Emperor Huizong's eyes lit up, he got up quickly and said, "Guanghou, quickly introduce your family members to me."

As Emperor Huizong spoke, he walked quickly towards Jin Lian and others.

Earl Ying smiled at Emperor Huizong, pointed at Jinlian, Chunmei, and Ping'er respectively, and said: "The name of Xiaomin's eldest lady is Pan Jinlian, the second lady's name is Pang Chunmei, and the third lady's name is Li Ping." Son."

"But the three ladies are in a hurry to come to Bianliang City as soon as possible, so they haven't had time to marry her in yet!"

Emperor Huizong looked at the three of them up and down, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, very good!"

Emperor Huizong immediately ordered the palace attendants to show the six people their seats, and everyone sat down in turn.

Emperor Huizong started looking at Jinlian and saw Ying'er and Huan'er along the way. When he saw Zhao Xiangzhu, he put his hand on Zhao Xiangzhu's shoulder.

With a smile on his face, he asked softly: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Are you doing well over there in Qinghe County?"

It is said that when Emperor Huizong was still serving as Prince Duan, Zhao Xiangzhu was the cook in his palace.

The two of them had been together for many years, and Xiangzhu had no sympathy for Emperor Huizong.

Even the two of them have been separated for so long.

Zhao Xiangzhu wished Emperor Huizong a long blessing, smiled sweetly and asked: "Your Majesty, is the dragon body healthy?" Emperor Huizong nodded and said with a smile: "It's healthy, how can it be unhealthful? Haha."

At this time, Jin Lian and others were all shocked.

Although everyone knows that Zhao Xiangzhu was originally left with Count Ying by Emperor Huizong himself, and everyone also knows that Zhao Xiangzhu should have lived in Bianliang City since he was a child.

But how could we have imagined that this Zhao Xiangzhu was actually someone close to Emperor Huizong!

Jin Lian was grateful that she had never had any conflicts with Zhao Xiangzhu before. If she had bullied Zhao Xiangzhu as a master before, her life would definitely be in danger now.

And in Earl Ying's mansion, the person who got along best with Zhao Xiangzhu was Pang Chunmei.

Pang Chunmei was really stunned for a moment. She really wondered whether Zhao Xiangzhu was really good at pretending and hiding.

After being together for so long, Zhao Xiangzhu has never shown any signs of weakness.

Xiangzhu is really not a simple person!
Huan'er remembered that night when she was standing in front of Xiangzhu's door and overheard Xiangzhu's murmuring in her sleep, and she finally came to a realization.

Emperor Huizong pointed at Ying'er and asked Count Ying, "Is this your daughter? The last time I went to Qinghe County, I didn't seem to have seen such a half-grown child."

Earl Ying seemed a little embarrassed, because it was really hard to talk about the origin of Ying'er.

If you want to introduce Ying'er, you must mention the three-inch dingu bark Wu Dalang who died tragically in the hands of Pan Jinlian.

But the Holy Majesty had already asked, and he had to say it.

Earl Ying could only say: "This child is not Xiaomin's biological child. After Xiaomin married Pan Jinlian, the child followed Pan Jinlian and lived in Xiaomin's home."

Emperor Huizong could more or less figure out the cause and effect. Because he was extremely doting on the Count, he didn't mention this matter at all.

He just picked up Ying'er, put it on his lap, and fed Ying'er himself.

Emperor Huizong's family members had no airs at all about Count Ying. Cai Jing could see from the sidelines how much Emperor Huizong valued Count Ying.

Cai Jing had been working for Emperor Huizong for many years, and he really knew Emperor Huizong's temperament very well.

When Emperor Huizong was happy, he might be able to do anything.

Cai Jing calculated with his fingers that Emperor Huizong would give Count Ying an official position.

In order not to be too busy and my mind went blank, I started to make a draft in my mind.

From three o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock in Shenshi, Emperor Huizong was always chatting happily with Count Ying.

The more Emperor Huizong chatted, the happier he became. Looking at Cai Jing, he patted his thigh and said, "My dear, the court is full of civil and military officials."

"If I want Marquis Guang to enter the court and serve as an errand beside me, in your opinion, what kind of full-time official position should be better for Marquis Guang?"

Cai Jing was overjoyed and thought: Sure enough, it's just as I thought!
He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "In the Song Dynasty, if we look at the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, they should not only be above the fourth rank, but also be able to be at the side of the emperor to prepare advisors to respond and participate in political affairs. From the perspective of Weichen, Come, do what is best for you."

Emperor Huizong pondered for a moment, put Ying'er aside on his thigh, looked at Count Ying, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He chuckled and said: "Ge Shizhong? Okay, excellent! Then let's give Shizhong the rank of fourth-level official!"
