Cui Yuan said with a wry smile: "Feiteng said that too many distinguished guests came today, for fear that the subordinates in the kitchen would not do a good job, and neglect the distinguished guests, so he went to the back kitchen to stare at the subordinates to work, and asked the prince and Lao Shangshu to forgive his sins, and after a while, the little old man asked him to make amends with the prince and Lao Shangshu." ”

"Champion Hou personally cooks, it's really heartfelt, I heard that Champion Hou has a unique set of opinions on food, it seems that the old man has a good mouth, okay, okay, Mrs. Cui is polite." Speaking of this, Yang Chongli said with a smile: "It's still Cui Lao's unique vision and his choice of a good grandson-in-law. ”

has lived for decades, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, greeting is just a superficial effort, Yang Chongli will not take this little thing to heart.

has the intention to stand up for the prince, but will not let the prince treat himself as a pawn.

Cui Yuan didn't know how many times he had heard this kind of words, but he could say it from the mouth of the respected Yang Chongli, the meaning was not ordinary, and he said with a smile: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the little old man can't manage so much, the young man doesn't know how to count the etiquette, and he has to take care of the old Shangshu more, hey, just patronizing and talking, I forgot to invite the two distinguished guests to enter the door, prince, please, old Shangshu, please." ”

In the past, Cui Yuan looked down on Zheng Peng, if it weren't for Li Longji's protection, Zheng Peng killed Zheng Peng when he went to Boling to propose, as he grew older, he became less competitive, and paid more and more attention to his family, Zheng Peng's performance also made him more and more satisfied.

It was he who urged him behind his back that Zheng Peng had this kind of achievement, that's right, Cui Yuan thought like this.

Entering the door, Li Ying found a way to branch Cui Yuan away, and accompanied Yang Chongli to visit Zheng Peng's mansion.

After enjoying it for a while, Yang Chongli stood on the corner tower, looked at the garden below, and couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at the overall situation, you can see the artistic conception; Looking at the end of the section, the ingenuity can be revealed, and I can't imagine that the champion of the three armies will also have a delicate heart, which is rare. ”

Entering the Zheng Mansion, it seems to enter another world, the hidden path, the rockery, the Qiongtai pavilion are self-contained and interlocking, many of the furnishings seem to be random, but in fact they are ingenious, and also give Yang Chongli a surprise, this is not the most luxurious mansion he has seen in recent years, but it is definitely the most meaningful mansion he has seen.

Yang Chongli can be sure that if he is more than ten years younger and does not see the world so lightly, he will definitely find Zheng Peng to learn from the scriptures and build a house like this to live for the rest of his life.

Li Ying said with some disdain: "This mansion is Zheng Jinlun's three-year effort, but it is too extravagant, it is said that for this house, Zheng Peng spared no expense, and sent people to purchase the world's treasures, such as the wood of Nanshan, the stone of Taihu Lake, the treasure of the high mountains, and the treasures of the deep sea. ”

At the beginning of Zheng Peng's excavation, Li Ying noticed it, but Zheng Peng didn't like to stand on the sidelines, and his father protected him well, so he couldn't win him over, and later brought a grudge, although Zheng Peng didn't pull it, but Li Ying has been sending people to collect Zheng Peng's information and knows Zheng Peng's situation very well.

I wanted to find a little bit of Zheng Peng's handle, and then I wanted to blackmail Zheng Peng for my own use, but Zheng Peng had a lot of small problems, but there were no big problems, the merit was always greater than the fault, and those small problems were not enough to defeat Zheng Peng, so I had to give up.

"This is a capable person, who loves to enjoy, lives in a mansion and has a beauty, but he is famous, and his reputation is greater than his ruin." Yang Chongli said with a look of emotion.

Hearing this, Li Ying nodded, and quickly asked, "What does Elder Yang think of him?" ”

"Moving like a red rabbit, quiet as a virgin, and restrained light in addition to publicity, especially his unbridled creativity, giving people infinite surprises, is a person with great wisdom."

Without waiting for Li Ying to speak, Yang Chongli said with a wise face: "In any case, the champion is the person that the emperor likes and relies on, His Royal Highness should not write about it, so as not to provoke the emperor's jealousy, and it is best not to grudge with him, a talented and unambitious person like him is an important weapon of the country no matter when." ”

"What Lao Shangshu said is very true, this palace personally came to the door with a heavy gift this time to congratulate, just to resolve the unhappiness in front." Li Ying said a little depressed.

Some people, just can't be friends, it's better not to be enemies, but the crown princess doesn't have this consciousness, things have happened, no matter how much you complain, it's useless, and the prince has to use the power of the princess's mother's family, what can be done now is to resolve it as much as possible.

As she spoke, Li Ying's eyebrows raised in front of her eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she quickly pointed down, pretending to be flat: "Brother Nu came so early, it seems that the relationship with Zheng Peng is wrong." ”

Looking down, I accidentally saw Zheng Peng and Li Linfu talking happily, Li Ying was unhappy on the spot: Li Linfu is his own person, not with him, but very close to Zheng Peng, by the way, he recently helped Zheng Peng reclaim the land and took a lot of benefits from Zheng Peng.

Although this matter is related to the gambling contract, Li Ying still feels a little uncomfortable when she sees it.

Yang Chongli squinted his eyes and said: "Brother Nu, this person is a double-edged sword, if used well, it is a good weapon, if it is not used well, it will cut itself, Your Highness should pay attention." ”

Li Linfu's talent, Yang Chongli knows, the ability is there, but there are too many thoughts, small actions are frequent, and if it sounds good, it is that the mind is active and the position is not firm, and if it is ugly, it is left and right, which is a little dislike for Yang Chongli, who likes to be a sticker.

Many people are swaying left and right on the issue of who to support as the crown prince, but Yang Chongli has always insisted on the orderliness of the young and the old, and after Li Linfu's secret overtures to Concubine Wu Genghui were exposed, Yang Chongli's evaluation of Li Linfu dropped a lot.

"Xie Lao Shangshu instructs, this palace will act carefully." Li Ying said with some complexity in her heart.

As soon as the words fell, a hearty voice came: "I don't know that the prince and Lao Shangshu are here, and they are far away, and the two of you forgive your sins." ”

Zheng Peng was pulled out of the kitchen by Cui Yuan, and when he heard that the prince and Yang Chongli had gone up to the corner tower, they hurriedly came to ask for guilt.

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and besides, General Zheng is the protagonist of the roasted tail banquet, and the old man is right to bother."

After a pause, Yang Chongli sighed and said: "Young and promising, God bless the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zheng Peng admired this old scholar who had been honored all his life, and hurriedly returned the salute when he heard the words.

The crown prince Li Ying also smiled and said: "General Zheng personally organized the roast tail banquet, which is enough to see that it seems that the guests attach great importance to it, and I will taste it well for a while to see what kind of good dishes are worthy of the champion to cook in person." ”

"I hope to satisfy His Highness." Zheng Peng said with a smile.

"The emperor has arrived!" At this time, a hoarse voice came from afar, Zheng Peng looked up, and saw from a distance that Li Longji's special dragon chariot was rushing here under the escort of the Yulin Army, and the sharp-eyed Zheng Peng suddenly saw that Concubine Wu Hui was also sitting on the dragon chariot, and gently snuggled Li Longji.

It's kind of like showing affection.

Zheng Peng couldn't help but sneak a glance at the prince Li Ying from the corner of his eye, only to see that Li Ying's eyes instantly became fierce, the polite prince of the Tang Dynasty just now, in an instant, it seemed to become a beast that wanted to devour people.

Ordinary family struggles are called house fights, and most of them are red-faced, and the battles in the royal family are upgraded versions of house fights, and the palace fights that are life-threatening at every turn, at this time, Li Ying must be eager to fry the skin and bones of Concubine Wu Hui, that is, the existence of Concubine Wu Hui, Li Ying's position as the crown prince also has a feeling of storm.

Li Ying's emotions flashed, and she quickly said with a smile: "Father's dragon chariot has arrived, let's go down and take it together." ”

The two hurriedly said yes, and when they went down the corner tower, Zheng Peng and Li Ying helped Yang Chongli down left and right.

Li Longji came in person, and the people on both sides of the road saluted to greet him, and Zheng Peng, Lu Shu, Lin Xun'er, Cui Yuan, and the guests who arrived went to the gate to pick up the car.

After some etiquette, everyone was led by the subordinates of the Zheng Mansion to the hall where the roasted tail banquet was held, and Zheng Peng took Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui to visit his house at Li Longji's request.

Concubine Wu Hui was obviously very interested, visited while walking, and said to Li Longji with a smile: "Your Majesty, General Zheng's mansion is really chic, and concubines rarely see such a dedicated mansion." ”

"Concubine Ai doesn't know, he is the most energetic at messing with these things, if he can put half of his energy into being an official, I will be satisfied." Li Longji looked at Zheng Peng, who was following him and pulling back most of his body, and said.

When it comes to this, it's not okay not to speak, Zheng Peng had to bite the bullet and say: "Weichen was once poor and could cover his head with thatch, what I wanted at that time was to have the opportunity to build a more comfortable house to live in, and to be able to live in this kind of house, it is the emperor's grace, please ask the emperor and the mother to see each other." ”

Concubine Wu Hui read Zheng Peng's dossier, and said with some emotion: "Shame and then courage, break and then stand, General Zheng can be a model for the world." ”

A notorious gentleman, after being expelled from the house, he was not depressed, but positive, for his own happy life, devoted himself to business, committed to Zuojiaofang, and kept making progress in doubts and controversies, which is a bit similar to Concubine Wu Hui, because of Wu Zetian, not only the ministers of the court, but also the Li Tang clan has a lot of complaints about the Wu family, and Concubine Wu Hui has also survived the controversy over the years.

"Niangniang has won the award" Zheng Peng said with some embarrassment: "Weichen is just a small person, he wants to live a dignified and happy life, he can't fight for his background, he can only work harder than others." ”

"The general is modest, if this is the case, how can he be ordered to be in danger many times and gallop on the battlefield." Concubine Wu Hui grew up in the palace since she was a child, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, her knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary women.

Others can have one-tenth of Zheng Peng's merits, and their tails have long been lifted to the sky, and there are really not many people like Zheng Peng who can still maintain their hearts after making immortal achievements; Like Zheng Peng, who doesn't like to be an official and refuses to be promoted, Concubine Wu Hui is the first time to see it.

Zheng Peng thought for a while and said: "There is no strong country, how can there be a rich family, there is a country to have a home, Weichen gallops on the battlefield, is loyal to the emperor, but also to serve the country, but also to protect his own small family, I believe that every hot-blooded man in the Tang Dynasty will not refuse to serve the country." ”

Concubine Wu Hui's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise: "A good sentence is not a strong country, how can there be a rich family, the general said this sentence is really good, no wonder the emperor said that the general is the important weapon of the country and has been taught." ”

When Zheng Peng heard this, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly saluted: "The emperor and Niangniang have praised it, and Weichen is ashamed." ”

The heavy weapon of the country refers to the national seal, which comes from (Historical Records. Qin Shi Huang Benji), the jade seal of the country, the national treasure, the jade seal of the emperors after Qin, made by Qin Shi Huang, four inches in a square circle, five dragons on New York, engraved on the front of the seal written by Li Si "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight words, in the change of dynasties, suddenly endure and appear, and the emperors of the later dynasties of Qin fought to get the seal as a conformity. It is indeed a treasure that is passed down all over the world, and it is called the important weapon of the country.

Zheng Peng knew that Li Longji valued himself, but he didn't expect him to attach importance to himself like this, and to describe himself with the important weapon of the country, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is not as good as the minister, but the praise he has received is absolutely unmatched in the court, Li Yinggui is the crown prince, and after having an unpleasant relationship with himself, he also personally joined hands to come to the door with a generous gift, needless to say, it must be influenced by Li Longji.

If others said this, Zheng Peng would definitely not believe it, but the person who spoke was Concubine Wu Hui, and he still said it in front of Xuanzong Li Longji, it was eight or nine without leaving ten, and Zheng Peng felt flattered.

"Zheng Aiqing doesn't have to be polite" Li Longji personally helped Zheng Peng up, and said with a straight face: "There is a day when I am there, and there is a day when Aiqing is dignified and happy." ”

This can be regarded as a promise, Zheng Peng was secretly happy in his heart, and saluted again: "The emperor's grace is mighty, and the micro-ministers thank the emperor's grace." ”
