Zhou Ping hurriedly bowed and sat down. Tong Guan said a few more things and then went back to his house. Zhou Ping had just left the Jingfu room when he saw two men in scarlet robes with similar appearances standing in front of him. One of them smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, from now on we are authentic colleagues, so please take care of us!" "This is all about showing love, Zhou doesn't dare to take it seriously!" Zhou Ping hurriedly bowed and saluted. He recognized that these two people were brothers Xin Xingzong and Xin Qizong. , whose official position was far above that of Zhou Ping, apparently saw that Zhou Ping was popular among his masters, and came over to build relations. "Brother Zhou is brave and brave, and Prime Minister Xuan has a keen eye for talent. What happened today will be a good story for future generations!" Compared to his younger brother, Xin Xingzong's personality seemed to be much more cheerful. He waved his arm with a smile: "Today The time is just right. We, the colleagues from the Shengjie Army, are all having fun. We are the host of Brother Zhou and no one is allowed to compete with me! " "The time is right?" Zhou Ping looked at it. The weather outside is, at least, it is almost three o'clock in the morning. If you switch to modern clocks, it is almost one o'clock in the morning. In modern society, this time can be said to be the beginning of nightlife, but now is the Northern Song Dynasty after all, even in most In the city, the doors are closed once dark, and entry and exit are prohibited. This is too exaggerated. "This must be Brother Zhou's first time in Tokyo!" Xin Xingzong smiled proudly: "This is Tokyo! It's the right time to be in Fanlou!" While he was talking, two more people came over and headed towards Zhou Ping and the others bowed their hands. He smiled and said, "It's still early tonight. Why don't Brother Zhou come with us to have a drink?" Please wait until tomorrow!" The two people were stopped by Xin Xingzong and walked away with ugly expressions. Xin Xingzong turned around and said with a smile: "Two thieves fighting each other, don't ruin our fun. Brother Zhou, let's go to Fanlou!" ."Lights on the Fan Tower late at night" This is a poem by Liu Zicui, a poet from the Song Dynasty, who recalls the prosperous scene of Tokyo in the past. This restaurant, known as the first floor in Tokyo, is located at the northern end of Tokyo Royal Street, with five buildings in the east, west, south, north and middle. layer. According to the popular style at the time. The entrance of Fan Tower facing the street is decorated with colorful ornaments. After entering the gatehouse, there is a courtyard or verandah. There are scattered seats on the ground floor, which was called the "door bed horse path" at the time, and was generally for low-class guests. And wealthy businessmen with a net worth. Dignitaries and dignitaries were greeted upstairs, and the two corridors on the patio upstairs were private rooms called "small pavilions" at the time. When Zhou Ping and his party entered, they saw bright lights on the eaves of the verandah on the second floor, and hundreds of young women in gorgeous clothes sitting there, looking like gods under the lights. Zhou Ping was dumbfounded by what he saw. In fact, the scale of the decorations in Fan Tower was ordinary compared to the entertainment venues of later generations, but it was the first time for him to see hundreds of prostitutes placed on the balcony in broad daylight for everyone to watch and choose from. Xin Xingzong patted Zhou Ping's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "How about it? Just tell Brother Zhou who you like, and we will let you know later and take it to the small pavilion!" "Ahem!" Hearing Xin Xingzong say this Said, Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he could only cough twice and sighed: "My family has also been to Nanjing, a Liao people. I thought it was good. Compared with Bianliang in Tokyo, it is just a village!" "That's natural!" Xin Xingzong smiled. He pointed to the building to the west and asked, "Brother Zhou, do you see anything special about that building?" Zhou Ping looked in the direction of Xin Xingzong's finger and saw that the west building was also very ornately decorated. , but except for a few doormen on the first floor, there was no one on the second and third floors. Compared with the other four buildings, which were crowded, they seemed deserted. "Then why are there no customers in the West Building? Could it be that the store is being renovated?" "Brother, you don't understand this!" It¡¯s clear, who dares to go up there? There is actually only one guest over there, and that is the official family. I heard that there is a throne room on the third floor, and the official family even had a banquet with Master Li here!¡± ¡°That¡¯s it!¡± Nodding, the luxurious and leisurely atmosphere around him seemed to have infected him. He turned to Xin Xingzong and asked: "Then which building should we go to tonight?" "North Tower!" Yue, coupled with the nearby Zhouqiao Night Market and Bianhe River, the scenery is also very good. I have already booked a small pavilion on the top floor. I will stay with you and my brother until we get drunk tonight!" Zhou Ping! The three Xin brothers went up to the north building. Along the way, someone called out the names of the Xin brothers from time to time, and the Xin brothers responded with smiles. Obviously, the two of them could be considered regular guests here. Three people entered the pavilion???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????? doesn't it matter if there are any delicious food and wines that are popular and delicious, just bring them up, and then ask Tian Sanniang to come and sing, your little account is indispensable for me! Spring wine is the most refreshing. The little one will bring it right away!" The waiter responded, and in just a moment, all kinds of wine and food were served like water. A young lady of sixteen or seventeen years old was holding a pipa and chanting quietly. Singing lightly, it sounds unique. Xin Xingzong was very attentive and kept asking Zhou Ping to drink. Xin Qizong didn't talk much, but he was also very friendly to Zhou Ping, not like a Shangguan. After Zhou Ping drank four or five glasses of wine, he felt drunk in waves. He suddenly poured his glass on the table and asked, "A certain family has something that I don't understand. Please ask the two superior officials to explain it!" "Brother Zhou "Please tell me!" "Today, I was declared to be in love with each other in the palace, and I was able to serve as the commander of the army in the victorious army, but I don't know why the two of them fell in love so wrongly?" Xin Xingzong and Xin Qizong looked at each other, and Xin Qizong looked down. He coughed and said with a smile: "Brothers from the Zhou family, don't you know that you have made great achievements this time when you came back from Yanjing? I'm afraid it won't be long before both of us brothers will have to live by you!" "This is Where to start?" Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this. He had indeed made a great contribution to Yanjing, especially bringing back Li Chuwen's youngest son as a hostage. However, this matter was not announced in the office. Could it be that they Have the two of them gotten this news from elsewhere? "Haha, Commander Xuan just likes people like Brother Zhou who don't take credit!" Xin Xingzong smiled, with a straight face: "Let me ask you, who is Commander Xuan's biggest enemy in the court?" "Commander Xuan" "The biggest enemy?" Zhou Ping was stunned after hearing this. He didn't know much about the political situation of the Northern Song Dynasty at this time. The description of the Northern Song Dynasty during this period from the history of the previous life can be summarized in one sentence: Song Huizong was a coward, and the Six Thieves were traitors. As for who the six thieves' mortal enemies are, that's a confusing account. Seeing Zhou Ping's confused look, Xin Xingzong turned his head and winked at Tian Sanniang, who was playing the pipa. Tian Sanniang stood up, took her crotch as a gift, and retreated. Only Zhou Ping and the Xin brothers were left in the small pavilion. people. "Brother Zhou is one of our own, so our family won't say those taboo words. Our Commander Xuan is a eunuch, and he got his wealth by fighting with the Western thieves. According to the family law of this dynasty, if Commander Xuan wants to keep his wealth , the only way is to have military power, in other words, to fight! Brother Zhou, do you understand?" Zhou Ping already understood six or seven points, and asked Qi Ai: "So, let's put it this way. "Xuan Shuai favors villains because -" "Exactly!" Xin Xingzong interrupted Zhou Ping: "Xuan Shuai's lifelong fame is based on the great cause of conquering Liao. Whoever stops him from conquering Liao is his. The enemy of life and death. In the past few months, there were rumors in the capital that General Yelu Yanxi was marching south with 100,000 horses. The court was frightened, and even the officials were jumping up and down, trying to change the officials' minds so that he could pay homage again. "Xiang, if you send back important news from Yanjing, Commander Xuan can defeat Mr. Cai Jing. Do you think this will be a big success?" The truth will naturally come out, right? " "Hey, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!" Upon hearing this, Xin Xingzong showed a dumbfounded look on his face, as if he was laughing at Zhou Ping's naivety. Yanjing didn't know how urgent the situation in the DPRK was at that time. That Wang General was as slippery as a glass bead soaked in oil. Without your real information, who would have known that he would have gotten into Cai Yuanchang's crotch again at that time. Let's get over it. Even if the truth comes out later, what's the use?" After hearing this, Zhou Ping understood what Xin Xingzong meant. As he said, the situation in the court at that time was already quite favorable to Cai Jing's group. If General Wang and Chen were together, The civil servants in the department also turned to Cai Jing. No matter how powerful Tong Guan was, he could not hold on with one arm. If Cai Jing succeeds in becoming prime minister, even if the truth comes out later, the dust has already settled, and Tong Guan can only retire to the official position sadly. "So what brother Zhou has done is a great achievement that can reach the sky. It can't be accomplished by just a mere military commander!" Dirty hands, how can we Xuan Shuai's men still survive? ""That's right!" Hearing this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even in modern times, there may be controversy about Cai Jing's evaluation in other aspects, but when it comes to political disputes, There is a consensus that his attack was widespread and implicated many people. With the "Monument of Yuanyou Party members", he wiped out all his political opponents, relatives and friends. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, few could compare with him. In this way, he is really a great contributor to Tong Guan's faction.
