Thanks to Zhao Zhen, the behind-the-scenes pusher, after Hao Yikou's mouth, the entire Beijing city learned about the news of the Queen Wumei. This did not suffer any loss for Zhao Zhen, but it was not easy for civil officials to have a storm.

Such a thing must be revealed to you by a storyteller in a few words. Even if he is knowledgeable, he will never know the secrets in the palace. Moreover, the story of the Queen Wumei is not found in books, but only cares about the word-of-mouth and the word-of-mouth spread to the royal family.

Apart from the word-of-mouth transmission of the royal family, only the historians are left to tell this matter, but they will never tell a storyteller such a secret!

Pang Ji sat at the top of the wine table. This was a simple gathering for the center. This was a common thing in the Song Dynasty. The civil officials were connected with each other on this wine table, either chanting poems and writing pairs, or singing and dancing to cheer up.

But only state affairs conversations cannot be separated. Of course, this is also suspected of forming a clique for personal gain. However, there are so many people in the central government, and even the censors can't find any faults when using public expenses. Everyone is a colleague of the government, and they talk about the government affairs with each other. What's wrong with both public and private?

This is the habit of the Chinese people for thousands of years. Zhao Zhen had to turn a blind eye. Sometimes, in order to reflect the emperor's generosity, he also ordered people to send some rare food to reward these troubled people, and to serve as the court and the civil servants of the Song Dynasty.

However, today's banquet was not a joyful thing. It was originally a small gathering for my husbands, but was shocked by the news sent by the family manager one after another. Xia Qian silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip and then laughed loudly. Pang Ji shook his head with a wry smile and stopped talking.

At today's banquet, not only were the central ministers, but also some subordinate officials came to accompany him. The embarrassing person was Yan Shu. Everyone here knew that he was originally a direct descendant of the official family, but now he has turned to a civil servant. Now, the most embarrassing person in the official family is no doubt Yan Shu.

Many people are disdainful because even if they are as noble as attending political affairs, the traitor is ultimately a traitor. Apart from this title, he does not even have a serious assignment, which shows the disgust of the officials.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the last little face that the official family gave him in his love of accompanying reading. Everyone in the world will praise the official family's kindness and will not say that he is Yan Shu's good.

Xia Shu is a sensible person. If he doesn't take care of Yan Shu at this time, he will definitely be excluded among civil officials. Not only that, but after a period of time, it will also make others feel that their husbands are indifferent and righteous. The more the officials don't like Yan Shu, the more they should take care of him.

This is also the reason why Yan Shu was strongly invited to the banquet. The situation in the court is now clearly divided. Just for the husband, there are several people who strongly support the official, such as Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun and other officials of the magistrate, and Han Qi, the governor of Beijing.

Not to mention Fan Zhongyan, who is far away in Xixia, has a very good reputation. They are all important forces in maintaining imperial power, but they are also worried that imperial power is too strong. If the officials abandon their original persistence, these people will be respectful.

Xia Shu smiled bitterly, wasn’t that the same?

After drinking three times and cooking five flavors, Xia Shun turned to Pang Ji and said, "Gong Gong Pang, the official family is hitting us through the queen. The same is true for the previous rewards and reprimands. Obviously, the official family has already expressed the holy intention."

Pang Ji glanced at Yan Shu, frowned slightly and said, "Why should I stop seeing Zi Qiao?"

Xia Shu nodded slightly: "That's true!"

Pang Ji's face changed: "Where did you get to trap Yan Tongshu like this? Your Majesty no longer likes him. If this happens, your Majesty will definitely hate him!"

Xia Feng smiled and said, "He is an old man from the Eastern Palace. His Majesty's companion will give in. Your Majesty will give in without his favor. Your Majesty will definitely entrust important tasks to show kindness and kindness when the following officials understand Your Majesty."

Pang Ji pondered and said, "Well, national affairs should be the priority at this time. Since Your Majesty has accepted advice, we should not delay national affairs!"

Xia Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually really afraid. He had followed Zhao Zhen for so many years and knew his official family too well. When he was in the personal expedition, he was the military supervisor. He was impressed by Zhao Zhen's unthreatening situation. What is the temper of the official family?

Even if you kill ten thousand enemies and lose eight thousand, you must completely eliminate the threat. This was the case in Yuanyangbo’s battle. Now, if the civil officials continue to be tough, the final result is likely to be that the government will no longer compromise and continue to make great efforts to weaken the rights of civil officials.

Yan Shu never said anything from the beginning. How can outsiders know the depression in his heart?

Everyone thought he was a villain who betrayed the emperor and turned to civil servants, but he had to do so. His ambition was to be a capable minister and a famous minister, rather than a slander under the protection of the official family.

So he began to approach civil servants since he entered the official career, with the goal of abandoning others' views on him as the "Emperor's close minister". As expected, as he kept approaching civil servants, everyone praised him very much, but who knew that he was so down and out now.

He didn't understand that the subordinates and officials who had a good relationship with him in the past had left him, and some even slandered him behind his back. Yan Shu didn't know that this was the heart of the people...

A small banquet made the civil officials compromise again. They knew that the emperor was not a foolish monarch, but they still had to give advice with fierce means. This was the precaution of the civil officials. Now that the friction between the monarch and the ministers has ended, the "honeymoon period" has begun again.

No matter what happened, the sun still rose from the east, the yamen runners in Beijing still got up early and reported the time on the street, Toutuo still shouted loudly about the weather today, and the slutty still came out of the sweet water alley...

Naturally, the grand court meeting was held as before. The atmosphere of the court meeting today was obviously much gentler. The time for the palace examination submitted by Ouyang Xiu was quickly decided, and the court officials had no meaning. Zhao Zhen sighed slightly in his heart that this is the benefit of the peace between the king and the minister.

There was a turbulent atmosphere in the hall, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it. The general could naturally understand that Di Qing, as the Privy Councilor, still looked serious, and Peng Qi's whispers beside him were filtered out directly.

"Goryeo Envoys to Meet!"

Outside the hall, after the eunuch summoned him loudly, the Goryeo delegation wearing Han official uniforms entered the public's sight. Although it showed a little legacy of the Tang Dynasty, it was not much different from the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty.

"Foreign minister Jin Shanquan meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
