Chapter Seventy-Eight: Little Things at the Banquet

The white dew season has arrived, and at this time, it should be the best and most comfortable season of the year, however, Guanzhong is still sultry.

Only after a long period of rain will the heat slowly dissipate.

The lord of Lingnan paid two more white elephants to the emperor.

These two white elephants are good, and when they see the emperor, they know that they kneel and bow, which is very magical.

Liu Che was very happy and wanted to locate the two white elephants as auspicious, but he found that Yun Lang was interested in studying the ears as big as the white elephant's fan, so he gave up this idea.

lest the words just said be made into a joke by Yun Lang.

"The so-called white elephant is actually an elephant with albinism! There is almost no difference from Granny Yang, who buys cooking cakes in Yanglingyi. ”

Sure enough, Yun Lang began to talk again.

The fetish in his heart was compared to that of an old woman who was completely white.

"The white tiger, the white leopard, and the white deer are actually the same." Cao Xiang pretended to be profound on the side.

Liu Che couldn't help but look at the white tiger in his beast pool, and suddenly felt very unappetizing, as long as he saw these beautiful beasts, he would think of a white old woman with a hideous face.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yong'an is unreasonable, humiliating the gods for no reason, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the foreign ministers."

Pei Ren, the left minister of Lingnan State, was extremely dissatisfied, and went out to play, hoping that the emperor could teach Yunlang and Cao Xiang a lesson.

Liu Che smiled: "You claim to be a foreign minister, how do you want me to punish your own courtier for you, a foreign minister?" ”

Pei Ren's face changed in a short time, and he heard the ominous meaning from the emperor's mouth.

He wanted to say a few more words, but he was surrounded by a group of people from Honglu Temple and went to the banquet to continue drinking.

As the prime minister, Gongsun He was naturally the first to raise a glass to congratulate the emperor on having a new rare beast, and now, his main function as a prime minister is this.

The emperor's will to conquer Lingnan has been issued, Lu Bode's army has entered Lishui along the Xiangshui, and will soon establish a large army camp in Xiangjun, and the other army will guard the edge of the five mountains of Meishan, as long as Li Xi arrives at the Daxing order, it will pass through the Yuecheng Ridge all the way to the south to conquer the Nanyue country, once the two armies converge in the Nanyue country, the destruction of the South Vietnamese country has become an ironclad fact.

And Liu Ju, the eldest son of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, after destroying the Yelang Kingdom, also eyed the merits of the conquest of Lingnan.

Therefore, this time, the emperor has made up his mind to destroy the Nanyue Kingdom and complete the unification of Jinou.

At this moment, no matter what kind of treasure the Nanyue Kingdom offers, it will not help, the reason why this Pei Ren is still alive is completely caused by Liu Che's bad taste, he likes to play with his opponent, and then swallow it in one bite.

The gifts offered by the Nanyue Kingdom are naturally selected by the emperor first, and then the queen, Gillian, Changping and other nobles are selected, and then the prime minister, the three dukes, the marquis of Che, the general, the hussar, and the general Wei are selected.

For the rest, the officials of Honglu Temple will make a book of treasures and distribute them to the rest of the officials as benefits.

Huo Quzhi chose 1,000 catties of lacquer, and his wife said that there were not many lacquerware at home.

Cao Xiang chose a bucket of pearls,

Yun Lang chose two black woods!

The emperor had actually been thinking about Yun Lang all along, and he was very surprised to see that he chose two woods that were not good-looking.

Liu Che knew that the wood sent by the South Vietnamese people must not be ordinary, but in the face of pearls, tortoiseshells, clams and all kinds of Lingnan products, wood is the cheapest thing after all.

"Why did Yun Qing only choose these two pieces of wood?"

Yun Lang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty treats the ministers generously, and the micro ministers dare to be greedy, just take one or two things casually." ”

Liu Che naturally didn't believe Yun Lang's, and casually raising a glass was considered an invitation to drink.

Cao Xiang naturally didn't believe Yun Lang's words, and pointed to the bucket of pearls he was holding and said, "Exchange a piece of wood with you." ”

Yun Lang pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Ten buckets are about the same." ”

Cao Xiang pouted and said, "Then I won't change it." ”

Huanghuali wood is not a very cherished thing in Dahan, and Yunlang believes that there should be more on Hainan Island.

The Han people do not know the preciousness of this thing, it is estimated that it is related to the poor living conditions, and in the case of eating is still the top priority, wood is of little use except for heating and building houses.

At this time, people were only worried that the mountains were too high, the forests were too dense, and there were too many wild beasts, and no one cared about what would happen to nature.

The banquet was very pleasant.

Even the most cautious courtiers feared a failed outcome in the conquest of the South Vietnamese Congress.

In the eyes of many people, the reason for the conquest of South Vietnam was entirely due to the emperor's desire to satisfy the meritorious service of the Lingnan soldiers.

The growth of national strength has made everyone full of confidence in the country of Dahan.

Pei Ren, the left minister of Nanyue, sat next to the Han monarchs, like a lamb surrounded by fierce beasts, and his face was already stiff with a smile.

Strange to say, whoever drank with him would always drink a full bottle of wine, and he drank no less than ten bottles of wine in only half an hour after the feast began.

When the emperor feasted his ministers, he usually used bronze knights, which was very deep, so he packed a lot of wine.

Yun Lang thinks that he has a good amount of wine, and when he is interested, he can drink seven or eight statues, and he will not get drunk if he has more, but his stomach is full and there is no place to store wine.

Huo Quzhi glanced at Pei Ren after drinking a bottle of wine, and after drinking a few wines, he got up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen used to fight in the north, and he has never been to the south. ”

Liu Che was also slightly drunk, and said to Huo Quzhi with a smile: "The Northland Tiger is not good at boats, let's see my Jiaolong meritorious service." ”

When Huo Quzhi heard this, he had no choice but to sit down and continue to watch Pei Ren drink without a sip.

Yun Lang glanced at Pei Ren's neck and said to Huo Quzhi: "The muscles on their necks are loose, and they are not as strong as the necks of the Huns.

In the south, everything grows very fast, and rice is ripe three times a year, but the taste is not as delicious as the rice that is ripened once a year in Guanzhong.

Therefore, the bones of the southerners are fragile, and they are very advantageous in the big rivers and seas, but they can't withstand the knife cut. ”

Cao Xiang said drunkly: "I didn't get the opportunity to go to Lingnan, it's a pity, I just don't know if Lu Bode and they will understand when they come back, and I also want the kind of wood I want to take with you." ”

Gongsun Ao sneered and said: "You go to Lingnan, you have insulted the reputation of my Northern Army, and the old man is ashamed of your company." ”

Gongsun He saw that Pei Ren's body was shaking like a sifting chaff, and his face was pale, so he climbed on Pei Ren's shoulder and said: "If you return to Lingnan, you will only become a prisoner, so it is better to stay in Chang'an, so as not to travel thousands of miles." ”

Pei Ren staggered out from behind the short table, poofed, knelt down in front of Liu Che and said: "The traitor Zhao Jiande is not convinced by Wang Hua, and it is really inconsiderate to try to resist the Han with a corner of Tiannan.

I, the people of Lingnan, have long been eager for the arrival of the heavenly soldiers to relieve the people of Lingnan from hanging upside down.

Weichen is willing to lead the army to lead the people of Lingnan to belong to Wanghua and kill the Zhao rebellion. ”

Liu Che laughed and said: "It seems that the land of Lingnan is not all rebellious, and I am very relieved!" ”

Gongsun He got up and took Pei Ren's hand to help him up, patted Pei Ren's hand affectionately and said: "You are lucky, you came to Chang'an at this time, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the old man to see how you can turn all the words you just said into reality." ”

Yun Lang saw Gongsun He leading Pei Ren away like a sheep, so he yawned and said, "It's time for the banquet to end, right?" ”

Huo Quzhi looked at the dark sky outside the main hall and said sadly: "After dawn, Lu Bode should have launched an attack......

Cao Xiang smiled: "It is impossible for us to experience every battle. ”

Huo Quzhi glared at Cao Xiang and said, "I have no ambitions!" ”

Then he stood up and walked away.

The task of acting with the emperor has been completed, and there is really no need to drink here.

Yun Lang personally asked Sui Yue to send two pieces of wood to the Yun family, and then followed Huo Qu's illness with soft steps, and Cao Xiang left Weiyang Palace.

There is no moon tonight, and the wind seems slightly cool, and after walking a few steps, the person is awake.

Huo Quzhi stopped and said to Yun Lang: "Xie Ning is gone, entrust his wife and children to us." ”

Cao Xiang sneered: "Xie Changchuan is finished, I didn't see him at the banquet, and I didn't see Wang Wenshu, at this time, it should be Wang Wenshu who is inviting him to drink." ”

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's mind is still too small-minded, when dealing with Xie Changchuan's corruption case, you will look at it, and you will also deal with Liu Ling's case at the same time." ”

Huo Qu punched the wall irritably and said, "Lao Tzu can't wait to get out of the customs now......"
