Cicadas chirped loudly in Liang Shang's mansion in Chang'an.

Liang Jing is waiting for guests.

The guest is Yang Songcheng, the head of the country.

The guest and host sat opposite each other, with a cup of tea and a plate of dried fruits on the table in front of each other.

"Your Majesty likes to eat fruits from the south, so Your Majesty ordered them to be delivered quickly. The fruits are still fresh when they arrive."

Liang Jing pointed to the dried fruits, "Your Majesty eats fresh fruits, so let's eat some dried fruits, which can be regarded as a blessing."

"I'm here, you should know the reason." Yang Songcheng said: "Your Majesty has rejected Xia Houyuan's appointment twice. This is a kindness to the veteran."

"It only takes three!" Liang Jing put a piece of dried fruit into his mouth and thought it was too sweet.

"When Xia Houyuan became official, your Majesty wanted you to take over the post of Right Chancellor that was vacated, right?" Yang Songcheng asked.

"This is not something that ministers should speculate on!" Liang Jing said.

Yang Songcheng narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty is very fond of your Majesty, and she is still favored to this day. But she has no heirs. For a childless woman, no matter how much honor and favor you have, it will be like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the well. What will happen in the future?"

"What do you want to say?" Liang Jing asked. "You should know better." Yang Songcheng looked at him.

Once the emperor dies, the imperial concubine becomes a thorn in the side of the new emperor.

The new king has a deep hatred for the current emperor. After the emperor dies, he will turn all his hatred to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine must die a good death, and as her brother, Liang Jing's fate is self-evident.

"I see you don't look well!"

Yang Songcheng picked up a piece of dried fruit and put it gently into his mouth. He stood up, cupped his hands, and turned around to go out.

"Wait a minute!" Yang Songcheng stopped inside the door.

Liang Jing sneered and said, "You want to say that when the new king ascends the throne, he will take care of the empress and me. In this way, if I pretend to be sick now to avoid Xia Houyuan's official appointment and let you go up, you can protect the empress and me in the future.

I?"

Yang Songcheng stood with his hands behind his hands, "I don't know what you are talking about. There has always been a tacit agreement on such things.

If you want to regret it, for people like Yang Songcheng, if you regret it, it will destroy the Yingchuan Yang family's thousand-year reputation.

There was no way he could break his promise on such a big matter.

Liang Jing said: "Actually, I have no interest in this right prime minister. He has many things to do and is troublesome. It would be more refreshing to find a few brothers to drink and have fun."

Yang Songcheng squinted his eyes and walked forward slowly.

"It's not easy for the empress in the palace. I relied on her to enter the court from a bad boy. Seeing her being favored and seeing her smiling so innocently makes me feel so sad!"

How old are you!

When she was in Shu, Amei was obviously a sensible person, but now she acted like an innocent woman.

Once you perform, it lasts for many years.

I'm afraid that I have to hold my temper even when I'm dreaming, for fear that the person next to me will notice.

When people live like this, to be honest, all glory, wealth and honor are so vain.

But she must continue to act until the emperor dies or is no longer favored.

What is she doing for?

Isn’t it just for your brother?——Brother, Mr. Liang has to stand up!

Men have always taken care of the family, but now, the old Liang family relies on a woman.

He didn't feel ashamed, but felt distressed.

"If I pretend to be sick and hide away, my wife will have to suffer. Lao Yang, you also have a daughter. Over the years, your daughter has suffered a lot in the palace, and your son has died. Living is like a stick.

Dead wood, do you feel bad?"

Yang Songcheng shook his head, "Everyone has his own destiny."

"Your words are like a god. What is fate? When fate comes, you can accept it or change it."

"You are crazy."

"Why can't you change your life? Isn't it because you are greedy? You don't give up wealth and power. If you give up those things you shouldn't think about, will the queen suffer like this?"

"So, you have rejected me?" "So what?"

Liang Jing smiled wildly, "This man has only been alive for decades. Lao Yang, you have lived enough, and I haven't lived enough. My sister used to help me, but now it's my time to help her. I am rich and prosperous.

Then I enjoyed it. All people are mortal. I died a magnanimous death, but you died like a fly camp.

Dog Gou."

Yang Songcheng turned around and looked at him, as if looking at a dead person, "That's fine."

"Don't look at me with the eyes of gods looking down on the world!" Liang Jing patted the table. "I am a common man, but I have passion and friendship in my heart. With these friendships, I live warmly. And you,

It's as alive as a black-tipped snake, ugh!"

Yang Songcheng slowly left Liang's house, and the staff outside said softly: "The people from the mirror stage were seen nearby."

Yang Songcheng got on the horse, "I came to see Liang Jing to give the emperor a warning. Don't do anything to the limit. Otherwise, I can join forces with him or become his opponent again."

"He took the right prime minister, and the left prime minister."

"Chen Shen is old and cannot hold on for a few more years. This is why I tolerated the emperor this time!"

"What about Liang Jing?"

"You are a traitor! You will not die a good death from now on!" Liang Jing was drinking.

After finishing a bowl of wine, he asked softly: "Is the person at the mirror gone?"

The confidant beside him nodded, "I was snooping behind the house earlier and just left."

He said with some worry: "What Mr. Lang said before was reported to the police. I am worried that your Majesty will treat your empress."

"Do you think he doesn't know?" Liang Jing said disdainfully: "In your Majesty's eyes, there is no one worthy of his trust in this world, and the same is true for the empress. He knows what I said, and if I say it,

On the contrary, he is magnanimous and generous. After hearing this, if he pities his sister, he should treat her better."

"What if His Majesty refuses?"

"Then...continue to play the role of being in a different bed and pretending to be false."

Right Prime Minister Xia Houyuan submitted his third official memorial.

The emperor looked at the old right minister and said sadly: "The right minister is an old minister from the time of Emperor Xuande. He has experienced four emperors in his life. Now that he has become an official, I am very reluctant to leave him. However, I cannot keep you busy for most of my life.

You can't live in peace yet. After you return home, you can rest and recuperate. If I have any questions, I will have to invite you into the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xia Houyuan looked at the emperor and his colleagues, and then left.

I left without any regrets.

Who will take over as Right Chancellor?

Chang'an is open.

Yang Songcheng!

Liang Jing!

On the third day after Xia Houyuan took office, news came from the DPRK.

"It's Liang Jing!"

The once evil young man from Shu turned out to be the Right Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. Word began to spread in the market that boys were inferior to girls.

"What's the use of having a bunch of sons? It's better to have a beautiful daughter, find a noble man to marry, and the whole family can ascend to heaven."

"Look at Xianggong Liang. When he first came to Chang'an, he had a fight with the evil young men. He said that he was a meeting gift from the evil young men in Shu to the evil young men in Chang'an. In less than ten years, this man has become the right minister of the government."

Perhaps this encounter was unimaginable to Liang Jing. After taking office, the first thing he did was to order the delinquents from Chang'an and Wannian counties and the Jinwu Guards to mobilize collectively and arrest hundreds of bad guys.

Everyone said that he wanted to take revenge for the fight he lost when he entered Chang'an.

Liang Jing drank with these evil young men in prison.

"After drinking this glass of wine, all the grudges from the past will be wiped out!" Liang Jing drank it all in one gulp, then handed it over and said, "Let's go."

"Arrogant!"

The evil young man did not expect that he would have a day of drinking with the prime minister, and he was very excited.

On the second day, all these evil young men were released. Some censors impeached Liang Jing, but the emperor suppressed them.

"He did it for His Majesty to see." Yang Songcheng said coldly in the check-in room.

Liang Jing successfully made himself a laughing stock by holding a gathering of evil young men in Chang'an.

"A-mei, why are you laughing?"

Liang Jing said to the imperial concubine with some dissatisfaction.
