    Yu Chenglong came to Beijing, but the Prime Minister still did not express his condolences.  Many people can no longer sit still, including Zhai Zhe, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.  We are all old people in the court. If we know the rules of the game here, we will save a lot of trouble if we can do things well.  If you really want to break things up, not only would it be boring, but it would also make things very dangerous.  On August 12, Zong Xiangguang sent out invitations to celebrate the full moon of the second son¡¯s third son.  Everyone who could be named in the capital received the invitation. Among them, the most eye-catching people were Feng Qin, the head of Jiangwutang Mountain, Xu Yiyang, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, and Ji Hong, who had been the commander of the Jinyi Guards for fifteen years.  Civil servants Zhong Fang Yizhi and Yu Chenglong also received the invitations.  The second son¡¯s third son is one month old, which is really not a good reason.  Many people regard this as the last swan song of the prime minister, and it is time for everything to end.  To those with a discerning eye, it is considered a good ending for a prime minister of fifteen years to resign and go into seclusion.  As noon passed, there were constant visitors to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the six ministers of the Shangshu Province arrived first.  They are all Zong Mao's most loyal subordinates. The prime minister is about to resign, and it is inevitable that everyone will be panicked.  With the emperor's care, the Zong Xiang could retire safely, but they could not.  When Yu Chenglong came, everyone's buttocks were dirty, and everyone had a pool of blood in their palms.  Fang Yizhi came, waving his folding fan, to see off Zong Mao and himself.  Fengqin came, dressed in a fancy robe, to see off his friend who had been with him for many years.  Ji Hong is here, half of his sleeves are floating, and Zong Xiang and him are just like brothers.  But not everyone accepted Zong Mao¡¯s invitation. Some of his most flattering disciples didn¡¯t come, and some civil servants who had been at loggerheads with Zong Mao for many years didn¡¯t come.  Shen Shi has passed, and there is only one person left who is a heavyweight - Yu Chenglong.  ¡°If it hasn¡¯t come by this time, it¡¯s likely that it won¡¯t come.  After all, Yu Chenglong had a special status, and the emperor transferred him back to the capital in order to force the Prime Minister to resign.  There are a total of twelve banquet tables set up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone who can sit here is a well-known figure.  The beautiful maids served the dishes like butterflies in flowers, and the handsome young men walked around the table carrying wine bottles.  Zong Mao picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Your Majesty trusts me. I have been Prime Minister for fifteen years, I have done some things, and I have offended many people. There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Today, my young grandson is one month old, and I am here to drink this wine."  It¡¯s all for those who think highly of me. I am entertaining you, and you are practicing it for me.¡± He raised his neck and drank, laughing and said: ¡°You are not allowed to leave the Prime Minister¡¯s house if you are not drunk today.¡±  The butler followed him with a wine flask, toasting him one after another, drinking it all in one gulp each time. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the emperor and the ministers and ministers in the court knew that the prime minister was not good at drinking, and he would definitely be drunk after this round.  Sure enough, he gave up in the middle of drinking. His face turned pale and his steps were sloppy. He was helped by the housekeeper and retreated to the inner house.  After the host left, Zonghui, the eldest son of Zongmao, and Zong, the second son, came to accompany the guests to drink.  However, the courtiers and old friends all came here for the Prime Minister, and Zong Mao was not around, so everyone felt that it was less interesting.  Ji Hong and Xu Yiyang were sitting at the same table, and they talked about the past in Huguang ten years ago.  Ji Hong asked: "Do you remember that brothel girl?" "Which one?" "The one who was treated as a white felt thief in the brothel when you first arrived in Changsha." Xu Yiyang patted his head and couldn't remember.  Ji Hong tapped the wine bottle with his chopsticks, his face flushed. After thinking for a long time, an idea flashed in his mind: "Qiuyue Tower" "Li Qiuyue" Xu Yiyang suddenly realized.  The woman who had physical contact with him.  "Do you remember?" Ji Hong smiled, "After you overthrew Liu Chengyin, Guan Dong's family kept him in the Qiuyue Tower and never touched her again." He was the commander of the Jinyi Guards, so he knew the secrets of many courtiers.  thing.  Xu Yiyang gradually had some impressions of what happened more than ten years ago.  "Guan Pingyuan" he remembered.  Guan Pingyuan is now a prominent businessman in Dazhou.  Back when he had a romantic relationship with Li Qiuyue at Qiuyue Tower, he knew that Li Qiuyue deeply loved Guan Pingyuan and was willing to risk her life to help him just to save her husband.  "After Guan Pingyuan came out, with the help of General Xu, the business quickly became more prosperous than before, but it was a bitter experience for Li Qiuyue. Her husband would never come back." Xu Yiyang drank a glass of wine in silence, he understood  The truth is. Guan Pingyuan regards him as his benefactor. Guan Pingyuan dares to touch the woman he has touched again. They don¡¯t know that Li Qiuyue was just a passer-by in Xu Yiyang¡¯s life. Ji Hong said: ¡°The housekeeper is now rich.  In Huguang, Li Qiuyue was still being raised in Qiuyue Tower. I heard that she wanted to convert to Buddhism, but Guan Pingyuan wouldn't allow her to do so.  Xu Yiyang waved to the attendant to fill up his cup and said, "Since you know so clearly, why didn't you tell me earlier."  ¡±   "I am the commander of the Jin Yiwei of Dazhou. I have to worry about such trivial matters, such as joys and sorrows. I don't even have time to sleep."  It's romantic, but I didn't expect it to harm someone else's life." In his memory, Li Qiuyue was a woman who was both beautiful and talented.  He supported the guard beside him and said, "Where is the latrine?" He stood up and walked unsteadily.  Ji Hong then thought about how he could tell Xu Yiyang such a troublesome thing.  There are too many joys and sorrows, grievances and hatreds in the world. As a person who has mastered too many secrets, he has many more worries than ordinary people.  After waiting for a long time, Xu Yiyang did not come back.  The surrounding civil servants were all unfamiliar to Ji Hong, and his status as the commander of the Imperial Guard was also feared by people.  When he was bored, he started to drink by himself, and his face turned red after drinking. He was known as the "Red Horse" in the grassland when he was young. Although his face was red, he would not get drunk after a thousand cups.  After eight or nine drinks in a row, Xu Yiyang still hadn't come back. Ji Hong felt something was wrong, so he called for a waiter who was pouring wine and asked, "Why does it take so long for Governor Xu to go to the latrine?" He was worried that Xu Yiyang fell into the latrine while drunk.  .  ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look, little one.¡± The attendant agreed, putting down the wine bottle and heading towards the latrine to look for someone.  At this moment, a young man in brocade came over and saluted: "Master Ji, please come over and talk." Ji Hong saw that no one came out from the direction of the latrine, and he thought Xu Yiyang might have gone somewhere to rest.  Nothing should happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion.  "Is Zong Xiang drunk?" He stood up.  The young attendant said: "I woke up drunk and kept calling your name." "Okay, take me there." Ji Hong followed the attendant into the inner courtyard and walked around three rows of rooms.  The Prime Minister's Mansion is very large, with a main hall directly opposite the north and south that is transparent to the north and south. Zong Mao is leaning on a soft couch, looking confused.  The attendant came closer and said: "Master Ji is here." "Go down, go down." Zong Mao waved his hands repeatedly. His drunken eyes were dim, and he waved for Ji Hong to come closer. He pointed to the chair next to him and said: "Sit down." "Xiangguo is drunk.  " "Everyone gets drunk without being drunk," Zong Mao let out a long sigh and asked, "What would you do if you were me?"  But your Majesty won't allow it." Zong Mao said vaguely, "It's really worth it to gain your Majesty's lifelong trust even if you give up an arm." This was an insult. Ji Hong's face changed slightly and he asked, "Is the Prime Minister scolding me?" "No?  "No," Zong Mao shouted, "however, I have worked hard for His Majesty for decades, but I still can't escape the end of the bird." Ji Hong stood up and said coldly: "Zong Mao, you drank too much" "  Isn't it?" Zongmao sat up straight, spread his hands, and asked, "What is the thing I did that I didn't do for His Majesty?  " "Are you crazy?  "Ji Hong stretched out his left hand and rubbed Zong Mao's face hard, "Do you want to die?  " "Do you think I can survive if I resign my position?  Zong Mao suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, will the prince tolerate me in a hundred years?"  Will you tolerate my clan?  " "Mrs. Zong was once a maid of the Fan family. You and I have connections with the Fan family. You are worrying too much.  " "Am I worrying too much?  Zong Mao sneered: "The prince has shown any affection for the Fan family in recent years. The prince likes people like Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi. The prince wants to skin me."  " Ji Hong slapped Zong Mao on the face and shouted: "It's time for you to drink a bowl of hangover soup.  " He greeted outside: "Come, come." No one agreed. Zong Mao said: "Don't shout, no one is here. I asked you to come here to ask something.  It was you who reported the matter of the labor slaves in Jiangnan to His Majesty, and then Your Majesty hurriedly returned to the capital from Monan, right or wrong?  " Ji Hong looked at him coldly. After a long time, he said: "Yes" Zong Mao suddenly stretched out his hands to grab Ji Hong's collar and shouted: "Why, why you? Jin Yiwei doesn't care about domestic affairs, why do you want to  A lot of things have happened to me. Ji Hong separated him with one arm and said, "Kunlun slaves were transported back from overseas. Kunlun slaves and worker slaves are together." He only had one arm, but Zong Mao couldn't get close to him with both hands.  .  "You are indeed my good brother." Zong Mao grabbed his empty sleeve, "Why do you want to harm me." "It's not that I harm you, but that I can't tolerate the great Zhou Dynasty, and there are so many monsters and monsters." Zong Mao sneered:  "The court, this is the court, everyone has a purpose, can you wake up?" "I can't do things without conscience, even if you and I are like brothers." "Really?" Pulling Ji Hong to the  Outside the door, pointing to the moon in the sky, he asked: "You said, you didn'tI have done something unconscionable for His Majesty.  " Ji Hong shook off his sleeve and said: "I don't have it." "You don't have it, because there is Zhao Yucheng and there is me." Zong Mao laughed, "You really don't have it?  How did Huang Binqing's leg break in eastern Zhejiang?  How did Xu Du die?  "Huang Binqing's leg was broken by Meng Kang. Xu Du was first deceived by Zhai Zhe into cooperating. Ji Hong was ordered to secretly report to the court, triggering the Whitehead Army uprising. Later, Zhai Zhe suppressed it and took the opportunity to expand his power in eastern Zhejiang.  . Who in the process of achieving hegemony has not killed people who should not have been killed? Ji Hong said silently: "What are you thinking about?  " "You admitted it, hahaha" Zong Mao waved to the shadow in the distance. Xu Yiyang walked out. "You heard it, your father also died in the hands of His Majesty.  " "You are really crazy." Ji Hong held Zong Mao's throat with one hand as fast as a flash point, "It's just a phase, what are you thinking about?  " Zong Mao grabbed his hands in the air and finally broke away from Ji Hong's hand. Ji Hong did not pursue him because Xu Yiyang was already very close. " Governor Xu, what are you waiting for?  Zong Mao coughed violently, "Do you want to watch him kill me?"  "
