Zheng Peng put a lot of thought into the roasted tail feast, and the menu was an improvement on the menu of Wei Juyuan's roasted tail feast, adding some new dishes, focusing on fresh barbecue, teppanyaki, etc., however, those guests focused on the drinks.

I don't know which one started first, and all the guests ate barbecue with wine, and ate barbecue with a sip of wine, and they ate with their mouths full of oil.

The civil officials like to gather together, flower carving with barbecue, and most of the military attaches sit in a pile, with spirits with braised meat, eat deliciously, a few bowls of wine in the stomach, the scene begins to smell: some people fall on the spot, some people laugh and carry out the wine order, some people enjoy singing and dancing, some people throw arrows and pots, etc., the atmosphere is very warm.

Zheng Peng likes to be lively, but unfortunately he can't make up: Li Longji is here, Zheng Peng, as the master, has to accompany him, and Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo and other important ministers are also here.

"This wine is so domineering, I only drank three glasses, and the wine was all on my head, I haven't drunk it so happily for a long time." Li Longji said with a satisfied face.

Yao Chong carved the flowers in the cup: "The wine is too strong, the old minister doesn't dare to drink it, but this flower carving is good, mellow and long, the more you drink, the more comfortable it is, it really has another taste in my heart." ”

Zhang Shuo said with a smile on the side: "I like to look at it differently, and it will be strong for a while." ”

"General Zheng, this roasted tail banquet is very successful and distinctive, the guests eat happily and drink comfortably one by one, even the emperor also said yes, why do you seem to be preoccupied?" Song Jing, who had been talking little, suddenly spoke.

Gao Lishi also nodded and said, "That's right, General Zheng is not in a good mood, is it possible, is it heartbroken for his good wine and good food?" ”

Zheng Peng said with a wry smile: "How can it, it is my honor to have so many noble people coming, it is too late to be happy, in fact, I didn't prepare anything, the wine is thin and the vegetables are thin, and there is no good heartache." ”

Yao Chong couldn't help but quip: "Feiteng, shouldn't you worry about your wife, what's the matter, you can't leave for a while?" ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Zheng Peng could only reluctantly laugh along.

It's just that he smiled too reluctantly, even Li Longji couldn't look past it, and couldn't help but smile and scolded: "Zheng Aiqing, look at your absent-minded look, are you disgusted with my politeness or have you eaten too much?" ”

Zheng Peng was taken aback, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The emperor is angry, Weichen definitely has no intention of being unwelcome, it is completely other things." ”

"As long as you tell the reason, I will forgive you for your innocence." Li Longji said generously.

"Actually, it's about the new position."

"Suspicious of the official?"

"No" Zheng Peng said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the elite of the elite, although Weichen is stuck in the army, he also has a little military merit, but there are still many deficiencies in how to train and how to march and fight, plus he is lazy on weekdays, he is afraid that he will not be able to stand in the army and keep the law. ”

When everyone heard this, they first shook their heads for a moment, and then burst out laughing in unison.

Yao Chong said while laughing: "Yes, General Zheng is used to being carefree, once he enters the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, it is a wolf trapped in a trap and a fish in the tank, which is indeed a little difficult." ”

Generals are not so empty, especially some people who are lazy by nature.

Zhang Shuo also said: "With General Zheng's temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult to adapt for a while." ”

"Yes," Song Jing echoed: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, General Zheng is young, he has already achieved fame, and he is afraid of being jealous of the villain." ”

These fine wines and delicacies are not wasted, Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he immediately saluted: "Your Majesty, leading troops to fight is not what Weichen is good at, can you..."

"Can't" Before Zheng Peng finished speaking, Li Longji interrupted him and said: "My decree has been issued, how can I change the decree every day, and this matter is decided." ”

Seeing Zheng Peng's pitiful look, Li Longji said angrily: "Don't worry about it here, for the sake of making such a good wine, I won't pursue your arrogance, don't worry, your brain is still a little useful, I am still reluctant to let it fall to the ground." ”

The more Zheng Peng wanted to push it, the more Li Longji wanted to use it, and Zheng Peng was not allowed to refuse.

Cui Yuan hurriedly pushed Zheng Peng and said: "The emperor is magnificent, he didn't pursue you, otherwise he would have to treat you for an arrogant crime based on what he said just now, and don't you thank you?" ”

Cui Yuan was also taken aback just now, that is, Zheng Peng dared to bargain with the emperor, was promoted, and dared to complain when the tail burning banquet was held, but fortunately, the emperor favored him and didn't bother with him.

In other cases, even if they sit upright, they will be reprimanded or even demoted and punished.

Taking advantage of Li Longji's good intentions, it's okay to make a fuss, there is no trivial matter in the army, Zheng Peng used to be just a supervising envoy, or a deputy, and when he went to the Western Regions, he was a soy sauce character, including Li Longji also thought so, I didn't expect Zheng Peng to make so many military exploits in the Western Regions, and he really entered the army, and he was cut in seventeen and fifty-four, which was by no means a joke.

Arriving late and leaving early is a slow army, chopping; Talking and laughing, it can also be called a light army, beheading; If the weapons are not neat and the knives are not sharpened, it can be said that they are bullying the army, and they are beheaded..... is the so-called crime that wants to be added, there is no excuse for it, if you make trouble with Li Longji's words, at least Zheng Peng's life does not have to worry.

I hope that the wine is really as effective as Zheng Peng said, if you get an order from the Ministry of War, making money is still secondary, at least there is one more talisman.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Zheng Peng had no choice but to accept it.

Being an official is to find a backer, pursue glory and wealth, and now you want money and money, you have to rely on a backer, and you have to become famous, why are you so tired, especially when you enter the army, it is patrol and training, and if there are any sudden incidents, you have to rush to the front, and the position that others dream of is really a chore in Zheng Peng's eyes.

After a small episode, Cui Yuan frequently toasted everyone, and under the impetus of the wine, the atmosphere soon became lively again.

Driven by the aged Huadiao and distilled spirits, most of the officials drank too much, and when they came, they all had straight waists and walked in the wind.

Some of the people who drank heavily staggered out of the doorway, and a few of them didn't hold back and vomited loudly when they walked to the side of the road.

On weekdays, those martial artists who look fierce when they see people throwing garbage everywhere can not be seen one by one, no one dares to come forward to interrogate, and after waiting for people to leave, they clean up silently.

It stands to reason that Zheng Peng was asked to find someone to clean up, but now that Zheng Peng is in the limelight, Wu Hou didn't dare to come to the door to ask the teacher, so he had to pack up these dirty jobs.

Zheng Peng also drank a little too much, so many people toasted, they had to drink a little, the number of salutes increased, and the amount also came up, and after sending people away, he fell asleep.

After waking up, Zheng Peng was told two news, one was his own roasted tail banquet, which became the hottest topic in Chang'an with the largest number of invitations, the highest specifications, and the most unique banquet style, especially the most downed officials.

According to the statistics of the do-gooders, almost two-thirds of the officials who went to the banquet were drunk, which can set a record for the banquet.

Mainly the credit of distilled spirits, some people are like this, like to do the opposite, the more he is persuaded to drink less, he does not believe in evil, one by one he has confidence in his own amount of alcohol, fight to drink, and compete which one drinks more, that can be higher than the alcohol degree, if you don't fall down, it's strange.

Because there were too many people with a hangover, so that after the end of the ten-day break, the ministers of the court were in a trance the next day, as if they had not woken up from a hangover, and even the imperial history who was in charge of discipline was also half-squinted, Li Longji was a little speechless, after all, the law did not blame the public, and ended the court meeting early, so that these ministers went back to rest.

The second news made Zheng Peng a little ridiculous, and it was closely related to the first news: many people who had drunk distilled liquor or heard about distilled liquor sent people to ask for it, as if they were still unsatisfied, Cui Er asked Lu Shu for instructions, and felt that it was not a big deal, so he gave it to some people who were good friends with Zheng Peng, but he didn't expect more and more people to take the initiative to ask for wine, so Cui Er had to ask Zheng Peng to decide.

"This wine is very popular?" When Zheng Peng heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"Very popular" Cui Ermei said with a flying eyebrow: "Uncle, now there is a large group of slaves standing at the door, all of them carrying gifts in their hands, indicating that they want that kind of powerful wine, saying that they don't believe it, they all guard and refuse to leave, Guo Gongzi sent someone to take away the second altar, and before he went out, he let people surround him, saying that they would pay a high price to buy his wine, and some people came out to three hundred and one altar." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Cui Er continued: "Many generals drank it last night, and they all said that this is the wine that a manly husband drinks, and now this word has spread, and it is rumored that those who have never drunk this kind of wine are not men, and many people want to taste it." ”
