Chapter 2495 Hua Ting Banquet

Sancai had already arrived at the center with his decree, which was the location of the Song Dynasty's ministers. At the first time, the ministers of the Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the ministers of the Menxia Province could see Zhao Zhen's decree, and then the ministers of the Six ministries would be the ones who were also sitting in the center.

The reason why the center is called the center is because it gathers all the political elites of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the most important thing in charge of the daily politics of the Song Dynasty.

Whether it is Zhao Zhen’s will or Zhao Xu’s will, it must be transmitted to the center first before it can continue to move downward.

This is the power center of the Song Dynasty. Before, even Zhao Zhen, the official in the Song Dynasty, had to work with the Song Dynasty's ministers in the Central Academy.

A huge hall with bright light on all sides is located in a corner of the center, but this is not a place for the officials of the central courtyard to work, but a place to rest. It is actually a pavilion with a very good view, and is surrounded by lush flowers, plants and trees.

The eaves are raised, the water flows, and even the artificial waterfall flows down a hill, with indescribable elegance.

This is also a place for the husbands to gather and relax. Cai Boyi is here, and opposite him is no one else, but Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Gently picked up the white clouds and landed in the middle of Cai Boqi's "big dragon". Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "The big dragon is twisted, and there is no way to turn the world back!"

Cai Boqi concedes defeated, but said unfairly: "Why should Mr. Fan ask me to talk to me? Isn't this embarrassing me? Han Qi and Mr. Han are the best among the square and round, why don't Mr. Fan ask him?"

"The day before yesterday, Uncle Ouyang Yong was having a banquet in this courtyard and wrote a song "The Drunken Old Man's Record". "The Drunken Old Man's intention is not about wine, but about mountains and rivers!" I am looking for you today, so naturally I am not in this chess game. Besides, you were confused before holding your son, how could you not lose?"

Cai Boyi looked up at Fan Zhongyan in surprise: "Did Mr. Fan see it? Then I will speak out!"

Fan Zhongyan reached out and made a call. He picked up the tea and sipped it slightly. He had long seen that Cai Boqi had something to look for him today, but he was hesitant, so he used Go to guide him and let him speak out.

"The official family returned to the palace today, and Jing Fan was worried that something big would happen!"

Fan Zhongyan's hand holding the teacup shook slightly. Even those who were used to the storms and waves as Cai Boyi said that something big happened, and that matter would definitely be small.

At present, external troubles are eliminated. The only major event in the Song Dynasty may be in the court, which reminds Fan Zhongyan of the previous rumors in the court.

Cai Boqi saw Fan Zhongyan's nervousness and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Fan probably has guessed that the official family wanted to pass the throne to the crown prince, and I am afraid that the time has not been long before the throne will be passed."

Fan Zhongyan nodded stiffly: "This is also what I expected. The official had this intention before the Western Expedition. He originally planned to hand over the Western Expedition to the crown prince to obtain military merits, but in the end the official went to the plateau to expedition to Tubo in the west. When did the official tell you?"

Cai Boqi sighed: "On the way back to the court, I said that the government quietly returned to the court. The ministers and court officials only welcomed the army of Di Zheng's return to the court, but before the government, it can be seen that the government should act in a low-key manner."

Fan Zhongyan suddenly changed his face and said, "Is there something strange about the official family returning to the palace before?"

Cai Boqi was slightly stunned, then immediately waved his hand and said, "The official family is healthy and has never been ill!"

These words made Fan Zhongyan breathe a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the official family was unhealthy. In this way, the prince needed to be decided early. At present, the official family was healthy and did not need to worry so much.

The footsteps sounded, and gradually there were more people in the Huating. The husbands of various departments gradually appeared and were quite surprised to see Fan Zhongyan playing chess with Cai Boyi.

After all, everyone knows that Cai Boyi's chess power is really unbearable. No one in the six ministers will play chess with him except Yan Shu who was on the Qin Dynasty. Who can bully a bad chess game? It will be bad for his reputation if it is spread!

"It's inappropriate for Mr. Fan to do this. How can I play chess in the search field? If this is spread, someone will definitely say that you are bullying!"

Ouyang Xiu is open-minded and likes to joke. His words made everyone smile. Today he welcomed Di Qing's army to return to the court. He would start to slap in the government office until he was getting late. He would also deal with today's things. He would wait until he was hungry and rest in the Huating.

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "I'm too tired to play chess with you guys with superb chess skills all day long. I've gained a lot from the game after looking for scenery! The Han officials are also tired today, so I'm holding a banquet in Huating, which is a welcome to you. I'm afraid the officials will give you a banquet tomorrow."

It goes without saying that the relationship between Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing is both a teacher and a friend, and you don’t need to be polite. After the crowd sat down, the sun had not yet set, but the banquet had already begun.

There is an unwritten rule in the central courtyard that when you enter this flower hall, you will not talk about state affairs. This is a place for the husbands to rest, not a place for meetings. Naturally, if you want to rest, you have to rest well. So Zhao Zhen set this rule here before.

But chatting is still possible. For example, Han Qi felt something was wrong. All the guests here were the ministers in the court, and they all felt quite keen: "Grandpa Fan, there have been rumors in the court recently, which are related to the officials' passing of the throne. Many people think that the officials will pass on the throne after returning from the Western Expedition."

Fu Bi, who had just picked up the wine glass, put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "This rumor is not a day or two. There is no need to worry. The official family is in full swing in spring and autumn, how can there be a reason to pass the throne at this time? The rumors in the market are not credible!"

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "What Fu Xianggong said is very true. The rumors are just for surprise. We who deal with the government all day long don't notice it, so they know it. Isn't it a joke?"

Fan Zhongyan's face was a little unfavorable, and at the same time he spoke helplessly: "This time the rumors in the market are probably going to come true. Jing Fan and Han Chen returned to the court with the official family and heard the official family say it in person."

The courtyard was silent, and no one expected this sudden change. After all, the matter of passing the throne was very serious. Since the official had already said that it was going to prepare to pass the throne to the crown prince.

When everyone focused their attention on Cai Boyi and Di Qing, Di Qing could only admit helplessly: "The official family does say this, but they just don't know when and when."

Cai Boqi followed and said: "It's true, but it's important. It will take a few years to do it, at least not now!"

Cai Boqi was a close minister of the emperor, a son-in-law and a relative of the emperor, and was once a companion to the official family. His news was naturally accurate, and even speculation was relatively reliable.
