Runzhou City, Xicheng Gate.

A convoy drove in through the city gate. A car in the middle was gorgeous and exquisite. From inside, a girl lifted the curtain and exposed the cheek of Yichen and Yixi, which was beautiful and charming.

"I finally arrived in Runzhou. I took the car for three days and was dizzy."

This girl is nothing else, she is Zhou Jiamin.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, I immediately returned to Runzhou City from Jinling. The main purpose of this trip was to watch the Peony Pavilion in Runzhou's latest drama. At the same time, I also wanted to know Su Yixuan's talented man, what exactly he looked like and why he wrote so amazingly, which was even more powerful than her brother-in-law.

"Min'er, why are you doing so anxious to go back to Runzhou?"

In the carriage, a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes, with a graceful temperament, asked the girl.

Zhou Jiamin laughed and said, "Mom, we have lived in Jinling for a lot of days, and it's time to come back and have a look."

"I won't tell the truth, right?" Zhou's mother shook her head and complained.

Zhou Jiamin stuck out his tongue and replied with a smile: "Although Jinling is more prosperous than Runzhou, the city is larger than Runzhou, and the population is larger, Runzhou is even more than Jinling. A stage play has appeared here, and it is said that it is very good. Many daughters and female relatives of wealthy families in Jinling City have come to Runzhou to visit relatives or play, but in fact they are for the drama Peony Pavilion."

"Is it so good?" Zhou's mother showed a questioning look.

Zhou Jiamin said: "The West Chamber is about pearls and jade. This Peony Pavilion is also said to be beautiful, and it is Su Yixuan's work, so it is definitely not bad!"

Zhou's mother asked in surprise: "Who is Su Yixuan?"

Zhou Jiamin said proudly, "He is... the number one talented man in Jiangzuo!"

"Is this what he claimed to be, or is it enfeoffed by the imperial court?" Zhou's mother still questioned suspiciously.

Zhou Jiamin explained: "Mom, this is the most talented man in Jiangzuo. He cannot be praised by himself, nor can the court enthrone him. He can only rely on real talents and knowledge, and is recognized by Shilin and scholars, passed on by word of mouth and named him!"

Zhou's mother was half-believing and half-doubted and didn't ask any more questions.

After the vehicle entered the city, he went directly to Zhou Mansion in Qingwu Alley.

The courtyard with five in and five out of five covers a considerable area. When Li Yu married the Queen of Zhou, the house given to Zhou Zong by the king Li Jing. However, since Zhou Zong's death, there was no male master and no other Zhou family. Only the eldest daughter is now the queen and the youngest daughter is young, so the family seems to be sparsely populated and quite deserted.

After Zhou Jiamin paused, he sent his servants out to inquire and learned that there was a performance at the Peony Pavilion this afternoon. He was very happy and could not wait.

Jinling City, Wei Mansion.

This is the residence of Wei Cen, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Cen was a native of Xucheng, Yunzhou, and was good at flattery. During the reign of Liezu, he was recommended as an essayist by Song Qiqiu. After Li Jing ascended the throne, he was promoted to a counselor during the Baoda period. During this period, he formed the "Four Evils" with Feng Yansi, Feng Yanlu, Chen Jue, and Wei Cen, and then he also had a "Five Ghosts" in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his reputation was not good in the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that the decline of Southern Tang from victory was related to these five people controlling the government and formulating a wrong strategy for Li Jing. At that time, he advocated going to war with Qian Yue and Chu, and lost national strength. Later, the loss of the Thirteen Prefectures in Jiangbei was also related to these people who did not understand military affairs, but seized power and fought for merit and resisted failure.

Wei Cen was the military supervisor to attack Fuzhou with Feng Yanlu and Chen Jue. After his defeat, he was demoted to the crown prince Xima. Until Li Yu ascended the throne, in order to balance the relationship, he began to support the remnants of the Song Party and placed Wei Cen in the important Privy Council and served as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

At this time, Wei Cen and an old man of similar age and nearly sixty were cooking tea and playing chess in the study, which was so happy.

"Brother Feng, it's your turn." Wei Cen smiled, twisting a white piece in his hand, reminding his opponent.

The old man had a half-white beard, single eyelids, a little flat nose, and wrinkled and frosty face. He looked inconspicuous, but he was Feng Yanlu, one of the Five Ghosts of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Feng Yanlu and Feng Yansi were half-brothers. He was young and had a reputation and good writing of articles and poems. When Liezu was a lie, he became the judge of Jiangdu and Li Jing of Yuanzong, he was promoted to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat and drafted edicts, and he was also considered a celebrity around the emperor.

Later, when the Southern Tang Dynasty attacked Jianzhou, Feng Yanlu served as the military supervisor, but because he randomly interfered in military power and missed the opportunity to fight, the army failed. Yuanzong was furious and dismissed him from office and exiled to Shuzhou. Later, after the Song Party's continuous pleading, he was pardoned three years later, and transferred back to the Jinling court, becoming the Minister of Works, and was appointed as the deputy guard of the Eastern Capital.

In the 14th year of Baoda, Feng Yanlu fought against the Later Zhou army in Jiangbei. Because of his random command, the Southern Tang army was defeated. He himself was captured by the soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty and stayed in Bianjing for three years. He returned to Jinling in the fifth year of Xiande in the Southern Tang Dynasty. After Li Yu ascended the throne, he became a minister of the Ministry of Works. In addition to the need for party balance, he is still the Minister of Works.

"Brother Wei, today's chess skills are good!" Feng Yanlu smiled and stroked his beard and put on another black spot.

Wei Cen shook his head and laughed: "It's Brother Feng a little absent-minded, but he has something to do?"

Feng Yanlu rolled his eyes, raised his head and smiled gently, "I can see this by my brother."

Wei Cen looked at him and said with a smile: "We have been working together for twenty or thirty years, and this expression is abnormal, and you can still tell the difference."

Feng Yanlu sighed: "There is indeed something. After hearing the message from the palace, Han Xizai is about to return to Beijing and re-activate it.

"Oh, Old Monster Han wants to regain his post?" Wei Cen said in shock.

Because Han Xizai was proud and had a strange personality, many ministers in the court, especially those from the Song Party, called him Han Lao Monster behind his back.

Feng Yanlu shook his head and said, "I heard that it is not the original position, but the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

Wei Cen said in surprise: "Oh, I won't be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I will go to the Ministry of Personnel instead. Why is this?"

Feng Yanlu explained: "I don't know the specific reason for the time being, but it is rumored that Old Monster Han once asked Gao Yuan to pass the message to the official family. He was dismissed from office in the Ministry of Revenue and was unwilling to go back to face his old subordinates. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue's labor and taxation, Old Monster Han didn't want to do it anymore and planned to choose the easier Ministry of Personnel."

Wei Cen thought for a while and said carelessly: "What if he doesn't matter, let's be prepared. If you come back, you will inevitably be verbally in the court in the future." Computer terminal::/

Feng Yanlu narrowed his eyes and said, "I also heard that Han Xizai met a young talent in Runzhou City, named Su Chen, with the name Yixuan. He is the recent rumor of Su Lang. We should pay special attention. If Su Yixuan is attracted by him to the Sun Party camp, for us, it will be a crush on our reputation."

"There's something like this!"

Feng Yanlu recalled the past and said slowly: "Su Chen is the son of the Imperial Physician Order Su Mingyuan. Many years ago, the case of the sudden death of the prince was involved. When the prince was poisoned, the late emperor sent Su Mingyuan to treat him. As a result, the little eunuch in charge of boiling medicine in the East Palace was bribed by us, and the medicine was changed to get rid of the prince. Then Su Mingyuan became a scapegoat and sentenced him to death. Now, we can send people to Runzhou to contact Su Chen. His father said Su Mingyuan was a person in our camp and let Su Chen surrender to us."

Wei Cen looked worried and asked, "What if he refuses?"
