Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 456 Moving to the South 8
Zong Liang and Zhong Lirui had just left the study and met Lin Yue. There were no outsiders in Wang Xiu's house, and Zong Liang and the others were told to respect Zhao Fujin and Lin Yue. They both saluted and said, "I have seen the two ladies."

Sister Lin Yue has been staying here for a while, and she is familiar with them, so she said with a smile: "So it's the second brother, are the officials here?"

Looks like you are not too big!Zong Liang obviously twitched the corner of his mouth, and said respectfully: "Mr. is meditating quietly. He ordered that there is nothing important to be disturbed. The two wives will come soon, and I will report to you."

Sister Lin Yue is also a lovely girl with exquisite seven orifices, she can understand the elegant meaning when she hears the sound, she has a gentle smile on her pretty face, and said softly: "Since the bachelor is meditating, it is inconvenient for the concubine to disturb me, I will come back later."

Zong Liang and Zhong Lirui watched Sister Lin Yue off, Zong Liang gritted his teeth and said, "The two people in the East Courtyard are beautiful and mysterious, and Xu Zhong is really hateful for keeping his mouth shut!"

"Be well-behaved, graceful and luxurious. They are definitely not ordinary people. Don't think too much about them. Forgetting that they are not a bad thing." Zhong Lirui said decisively.

Zong Liang looked at Zhong Lirui in surprise, and a fear flashed in his heart. Sometimes knowing too much is the most terrible thing. He curled his lips and said: "You are born to be tired, and you have to rush to Jiangning. You are at ease. Penglai Sanxian."

"Penglai Sanxian is a lord, so I don't have such a good life. Don't say anything else, the lord's importance to my brother, the official family's first great treasure, must open a course to obtain a scholar, and we must hurry up." Zhong Lirui smiled lightly. up.

Zong Liang smacked his lips, his eyes glowed with heat, and said, "It seems you are ready?"

"Of course, you can't miss a subject and miss it again. You have to get a pass." Zhong Lirui frowned, very confident.

"I'm satisfied with a family background!" Zong Liang said a little quietly

"Why belittle yourself, my lord, it's a good time for you and me to do great things. It's shameful not to get a class."

"It's easy for you to say, without your ambition."

The next night, the imperial court held a banquet in Baohe Hall to welcome King Kang, the only remaining prince of the Song Dynasty, and the ministers who had returned to Beijing.

Zhao Gou went to the banquet with Li Gang, Fan Zongyin, Li Hui, Zhang Qiyuan and others. Since Geng Nanzhong was the emperor's teacher, even though he was demoted, he still had officials and titles, so he was included in the banquet.The emperor was too young to be present, and Zhu Lian was not able to attend even because she was a female student. The important officials of the two governments accompanied them on their behalf.

At the beginning of the banquet, Zhu Lian and Zhao Chen bestowed royal wine and fragrant flowers respectively, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Everyone drank, laughed, and talked about old friendships. Wang Xiu and Fan Zongyin sat at the table, chatted happily, and respected each other from time to time .

"This time Kaifeng was preserved, and the captives retreated. The scholars have made great contributions. Li Mou respects the scholars." Li Gang has been secretly following Wang Xiu since he entered the palace. The ministers also gradually let go, talking to each other much louder, and leaving their seats to toast each other.

When he saw Wang Xiu and Fan Zongyin, he whispered three glasses of wine, but he didn't know what to say.Regarding the matter of moving to the south, he still thought that he could not trust one side of the story, took the opportunity to find out Wang Xiu's intentions, and took the initiative to bring a cup and came over.

Wang Xiu had been paying attention to Li Gang secretly for a long time. He really wanted to make friends with this famous loyal and virtuous minister in history, and he had taken practical actions, but the results were not obvious. Li Gang took the initiative to toast, which surprised him very much.

"The bachelor was killed and the king was killed. In the chaos, he made a decisive decision and assisted the officials to ascend the throne. I respect the bachelor." Li Gang had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was quite sincere, without any polite hypocrisy.

Seeing Li Gang's sincerity, Wang Xiu knew that this guy's job was different, so he immediately said: "It's all sent by the people eagerly, the officials are willing to sacrifice their lives, and the gentlemen are loyal to the court, but I dare not be greedy for merit. It's time to kill."

Li Gang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Scholars don't need to be too modest, please drink this cup to the full."

"Then I will be disrespected!" Wang Xiu drank the wine in one gulp, Li Gang smiled lightly and drank the cup to the full.

"Your Majesty Li is loyal to the country, and my subordinates should pay respects." Wang Xiu picked up the jug to pour wine for Li Gang,

Unexpectedly, Li Gang flashed the wine glass, and said seriously: "Fengguan's family is fortunate to be the first scholar to sing?"

Wang Xiu was on alert, he was keenly aware of trouble coming, so he calmed down and said calmly, "Exactly."

"It seems that the bachelor will lead an army of [-] to escort the official family south?" Li Gang's gaze became much more serious, and his voice gradually became heavy.

One hundred thousand troops?Nima, you really have an imagination. Wang Xiu looked at Li Gang meaningfully, and said with a smirk: "Of course all the adults are escorting together. The pillar of the country, Mr. Li, isn't he escorting the officials?"

To Wang Xiu's rebuttal, Li Gang smiled coldly, didn't take it seriously at all, and said sternly: "The scholar's words are wrong, Li is only a mere scholar, literature can't govern the country, martial arts can't secure the country, it's like a bachelor's debut, One hundred thousand strong soldiers."

"What Li Xianggong said seems to have some truth." Wang Xiu seemed to have made a slip of the tongue.

Li Gang's complexion changed a few times, and he shook his hand holding the wine glass, but he still endured it forcefully, but his eyes were full of unkind anger.

Fan Zongyin twitched at the corner of Lei's mouth, Nima, is it as real as you, Wang Wenshi?Even if someone tells the truth, it is still polite.Li Gang said the same thing, but you, Wang Wenshi, would be stupid if you admit it. Is this guy pretending to be stupid?
"The bachelor is indeed young and energetic." Li Gang snorted heavily, turned around and walked back to his seat with a flick of his sleeves.

Wang Xiu laughed at herself and sat down silently. It seemed that some of her titles still made some people afraid.

Fan Zongyin looked at Li Gang coldly, feeling a little dissatisfied.Li Gang respected Wang Xiu for a cup, which was the recognition of King Qin's meritorious service in rescuing his family. He left in a huff, out of dissatisfaction with Wang Xiu's control of military power and manipulation of government affairs. Internal bleeding!
However, Li Gang's attitude is by no means a personal attitude, it is the inner opinion of most of the scholar-bureaucrats in the ruling and opposition parties, and of course it is also his thoughts. Li Gang's performance is too straightforward, and he just said what they didn't say.He said a thousand words and ten thousand words, but he still felt that in a formal banquet, Li Gang did a bit too much, making it difficult for people to get off the stage, and said: "Li Boji is a man of temperament, straightforward and honest, no wonder the writing is real!"

Wang Xiu looked at Fan Zongyin, and said indifferently: "It's really not easy to be a real person!"

Fan Zongyin has black lines all over his head, this guy really pushes his nose and face, if you want to be honest, then I am Kong Shengren, he doesn't know what to say.

Li Gang returned to his seat, and Zhang Shuye happened to be beside him, but Zhang Shuye smiled and said, "Will Bo Ji pay back?"

"It's hard for Brother Ji Zhong!" Li Gang said calmly.

Zhang Shuye smiled playfully, raised his glass and said, "Come on, let me toast Bo Ji and encourage each other."
