It was getting late, and somewhere in the Shuofang Jiedu Embassy's mansion, there was a sumptuous dinner, but it was only a relatively barren border place like Shuofang, and if it was placed in a prosperous place in the Central Plains like Chang'an or Luoyang, such a dinner would be just a normal level.

There are not many people eating, and there are only Wang Zhongsi and Ye Chengcheng and Li Zheng, because of Mrs. Pei's absence, this big table seems to be a little deserted, although He Bingyan has a very high status in their Jiedu Mansion, but after all, he is not a family with them, and it is not like Li Zheng who has followed Wang Zhongsi since Hedong, so on weekdays, Wang Zhongsi's family will basically not be called He Bingyan, he will eat in other places. In fact, to put it bluntly, even Li Zheng can only go to Wang Zhonghe's dinner table occasionally, after all, no matter how good their relationship is, it is also a relationship between superiors and subordinates, which is still a little inappropriate for Li Zheng.

It's just that I feasted at dinner today, and the ones who ate the most fiercely were two unexpected guys.

Most people probably wouldn't have imagined that it would be Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan, these two were born as demon clans, natural cultivators, because they have been able to do Bigu since they were young, it can be said that these two have hardly eaten since they were young, not only do they not need, but they are also not interested. But after using this mortal incarnation, the two began to find some problems, especially the fact that they would be hungry made the two of them feel miserable, you said that you were hungry, and you could fill it by eating, but since leaving Panlong Town, Ye Tingcheng has been in a hurry, they have not been to a few towns at all, and they have not rested in the restaurant inn in the city at all, so they continue to hurry, most of the time they are eating dry food along the way, Ye Tingcheng itself does not matter, which can make the two of them feel quite uncomfortable。 Now that they suddenly had such a dinner in the Jiedu Mansion, which was a big meal for them, they seemed to have found a flashpoint, and began to eat and drink, this was the first time they found that eating was such a beautiful thing, no wonder the human race in the mortal world was good at cooking, it turned out that eating was a good thing in itself.

Wang Zhongsi was a little surprised at first, but finally it came down to the fact that the two of them should have been sleeping in the open for a long time before they had such a posture, so he smiled and asked the people to hurry up to add vegetables. This made Ye Chengcheng's face red, and he felt very embarrassed, he almost forgot that Huan Chenyu was no longer the high-ranking demon emperor, and he also needed to eat and drink well, he didn't have anything to eat dry food every day, those two of them were probably impatient for a long time, as a master, he was really incompetent.

At first, Wang Zhongsi didn't directly ask them about their experiences, but talked to them casually, until Li Zheng couldn't help it while eating, so he poured beans into a bamboo tube and said everything, which surprised Wang Zhongsi.

"Hmph, that's unreasonable!" Wang Zhongsi slapped the table next to him violently, and suddenly made the teapots on the table jump.

"Li Linfu, that dog thief, I can't slander the emperor many times, so I think of turning a corner to attack my family, it's really unbearable! I will take revenge sooner or later!"

"Wang Shuai don't worry, before we separated, Captain Li had already mobilized a government army to protect Mrs. Ling, and because he had already entered the Guannei Dao, the bandits were almost extinct, plus Mrs. Ling was a child of the Pei family, no matter how rampant Li Linfu was, he would not dare to do it again. Not to mention, why did Wang Shuai think that it must have been Li Linfu who did it?" Ye Tingcheng asked curiously while eating.

"Hmph, who else could it be if it wasn't Li Linfu, that dog thief? San Lang, you haven't stayed in Chang'an for a long time, and you haven't been in contact with these people, you don't know how sinister it is in the officialdom, especially the formation of parties and personal interests has reached a very serious point. Today's two biggest factions in the court are nothing more than the Xiangguo line and the prince line, especially the Xiangguo line is the most powerful, because I have a good relationship with the prince since I was a child, so it can also be counted as the prince's line, Li Linfu has tried to win me over many times before, because he has repeatedly slandered the emperor, fortunately the emperor has never believed it, otherwise where can I have such a day. ”

Ye Tingcheng was speechless, and suddenly recalled the kind face when Li Linfu wooed him at the beginning, it seems that sometimes you really can't look at people from a person's face, at least Li Linfu is such an old guy with a honey-bellied sword.

"It's just that Li Linfu is helpless today, as the right minister, and has won the trust of the emperor, and the power is in his hands, no matter how much we make meritorious contributions, we can't shake him at all, plus today, we have always emphasized literature and light martial arts, and martial artists like us can be promoted by accumulating merit, how can they be like their literati who have to study hard for more than ten years, and they will only have the day to come out after they have achieved fame, and they have always looked down on us martial artists. Captain Li sighed while eating, the matter of emphasizing literature over military force has become an established fact, in today's Emperor Xuanzong likes side work, like them, these side generals can easily accumulate merit and promotion, but the same rank, the status is far inferior to those civil officials, take his dignified school captain as an example, if he is placed in the court, his status may not be as good as a county order.

Huan Chenyu and the others only cared about eating, and they didn't listen to what they were talking about at all, or even if they listened, they weren't interested, the protagonists of this dinner were actually Wang Zhonghei and Ye Chengcheng, plus one Li Zheng.

"If, I mean, if Wang Shuai has the power of the army in his hands one day, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, then will Li Linfu be afraid of Wang Shuai?" Ye Chengcheng suddenly paused and asked with a serious face.

"San Lang, what do you mean by this? Do you know how cautious Your Majesty is about these things, he is too powerful in his later years, and even does not hesitate to abolish his three sons, in order to prevent the local temperance envoys from developing their own power, and even transfer them every once in a while, how can anyone be able to hold the military power? And if this word spreads, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion!"

"No, there is a way that will not arouse Li Longji's suspicions, and at the same time, it can also let Wang Shuai hold your military power, so that while increasing your own power, it will also expand the influence of the prince's line, at least you will not fall behind in the confrontation with the Xiangguo line. ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Zhongsi actually stopped chewing, because Ye Tingcheng talked about his heart, in fact, he was really interested in Ye Tingcheng's words, if he could really hold a heavy army under the emperor's approval, he would have an extremely heavy bargaining chip when he supported Li Heng in the future.
