Chapter Seventy-Seven: King Liang's Night Banquet
happily entered the palace and went home with a sad face.
The world is going down, and Liu Qi, an honest boy, has also learned badly. handed over the two second-hand sons to his own education, and said that he must educate them well. Damn, a ten-year-old and an eleven-year-old don't get out of the country, and they will seal the country and harm the working people of Hebei and Shandong. Come to my Zhuangzi to do the scourge, fortunately, after all, His Majesty the Emperor is still wise to send Zhidu to himself. I hope that the famous cool officials in history can deter these two princes.
The two wives had already come back first, and as soon as Yun Xiao, who had a sad face, entered the door, he saw Luan Ling pointing at Lao Yu's nose and reprimanding. A green onion-like finger was about to poke Lao Yu's face, and the cherry mouth kept opening and closing, and words like Niang Laozi blurted out from time to time.
Miss of the underworld, can you make her more civilized, and not doing anything to Lao Yu is already an educational failure.
"What's going on? You reprimand him like that. ”
Yun Xiao asked Yan Xian, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, confused, the Yun family did not have the rules of reprimanding subordinates for nothing, not to mention that Lao Yu was a retainer.
"It's time to take care of it, and I'll go to the dancing girl's house in broad daylight. was taken alive by me and my sister, how can our Yun family say that it is also the Hou Mansion, what is the matter of prostitution during the day. It's just that the reprimand didn't hit him is considered light. ”
Yan Xian gritted her teeth and said, it seems that Luan Ling's actions are supported by the housewife.
Yun Xiao asked, "Which dancer?" It won't be a green bead. ”
Yan Xian immediately put down the teacup and looked at Yun Xiao vigilantly with a pair of big eyes. Oops, you can't be beautiful in front of your wife. The lesson of blood in the previous life, how can I forget it.
hurriedly explained, "These two women were given to His Majesty by the Duke of Guantao, and if you let someone else give it, Princess Guantao will go crazy." ”
Yan Xian's eyes revealed some relief, the emperor's woman can't be touched, it has been a high-risk behavior since ancient times. Although Liu Qi has a good temperament, he also follows the principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than let them go, and so far the mortality rate of those who cuckold the emperor or attempt to cuckold is 100%.
"No, it's a musician."
"Forget it, the people from Princess Guantao's Mansion will send it back tomorrow. Let's leave early tomorrow morning and go back to Zhuangzi. The emperor explained a new errand, and he couldn't hide from it if he had a headache. ”
Yun Xiao kept rubbing his temples, Yan Xian obediently put down the teacup and came to Yun Xiao's back, and a pair of slender hands helped Yun Xiao knead.
The goshawk suddenly came in to give a report.
"Master Hou, King Liang sent an invitation to invite you to the banquet tonight." As he spoke, he handed over the red invitation.
It's another headache, and it's also a trouble if King Liang's meal doesn't go. The Imperial Governor's Office even recorded King Liang's fart all day long, and what Liu Qi cares about most now is this younger brother who can be literate and martial. If you don't go, the Queen Mother will have no way to explain the past.
I took the invitation head-on, and the writing was polite, and I knew that it was written by King Liang himself, and a beautiful official book was the symbol of King Liang. I still have to go, I have to go to see the place I chose, Princess Guantao's Mansion. This shows that it was Princess Guantao who invited the guests, and it was the Queen Mother who spoke. Without the Queen Mother's words, Princess Guantao would not be willing to stand in line between her brother and her younger brother.
I still have to go, just send the dancers of Princess Guantao back, and the boils should be pus.
"Lao Yu, you let those dancing girls prepare to send them back at night. If you really like Nale Niang, I'll tell the princess to ask for it, don't be so sneaky. ”
Lao Yu wiped the saliva on his face, and his face was red and white. Yun Xiao noticed that his legs began to tremble.
Took a shower and rested for a while. It wasn't until the sunset reflected the western sky that Yun Xiao got up under the protection of the Cang brothers.
The dancing girls in Princess Guantao's Mansion were full of two large carts and dragged behind Yun Xiao's convoy. The convoy quickly came to the princess's mansion along Suzaku Street, but to Yun Xiao's surprise, there was no scene of cars and horses at the door. It seemed that the number of people invited to the banquet tonight was very limited, Yun Xiao got out of the carriage and went straight to the princess's mansion under the guidance of the steward. The dancing girls walked in through the main entrance.
"Are you all ready? It's rare for a mother to respect a milky doll so much, let's see it today. ”
Liu Wu admired the sunset on the horizon with his hands behind his back.
"Lord Wang, don't underestimate this. Now that there are so many noble officials in the imperial court, may I ask the prince who can be valued by His Majesty, the Queen Mother and even Princess Guantao at the same time? You also saw the grand occasion of his wedding yesterday, when will you see Princess Guantao without being invited by others to congratulate you in person.
The Queen Mother has an indifferent temperament and a high status, Aunt Ying is the Queen Mother's wedding girl, when will you see her old man and tell her personal maid to come out to give congratulatory gifts!
That piece of pleasant heart is the beloved thing of His Majesty, before the Rebellion of the Seven Kings. Majesty xià should do everything to the prince, and the prince revealed that he liked it!
This son is left and right in Chang'an, and he does not like to hold an official position. It's like a thousand flowers, but it doesn't stick to a leaf. Does the prince think that such a person will be a simple person? Today's situation is like a chess game, and the old minister's view is the eye of the formation in this game of chess, as long as the eye of the formation is occupied, the whole game of chess will be alive.
Moreover, as far as Lao Chen knows, the Zhuangzi under his rule can be regarded as one of the few in my Han Dynasty. Not to mention the feat of breaking half a thousand horsemen outside Luoyang City, it is said from the heart that the combat effectiveness of the Wu-Chu coalition army is not bad. can break through the 5,000 Wu army with 100 horses, which proves that this son is a talent who can govern the army on the horse and govern the people on the horse. Even if Liang Guo is recruited, it will be of great benefit to the prince, how can the prince be contemptuous of such a talent"
Han Anguo, the prime minister of Liang State, followed behind King Liang and explained the benefits of soliciting Yunxiao in a reasonable manner.
"Well, you have a point. I've also been to his Zhuangzi, and it's really well governed. In terms of wealth, my Liang country is also a rare rich feudal country in the world. But no Zhuangzi could catch up with his family's Zhuangzi, and he had a wrestler under him who was impressed.
Although the Wu-Chu coalition army was defeated, it was not actually defeated in terms of combat strength. If you attack for another half a month, Suiyang will be broken. I also heard that this kid was surrounded by more than 10,000 people with Xiang Sanqiu for nearly a month, and we know Xiang Sanqiu's ability. The 2,000 forbidden troops under Suiyang City didn't last a lot of time.
But this is slippery, I'm afraid it's not easy to start. ”
was said by Han Anguo, Liu Wu was a little less confident in recruiting Yun Xiao.
"Lord Wang, if you can attract such a person with one meal. Then he will be worthless, and the old minister thinks that if he is a human being, he will have weaknesses. This time it was just a test to test his weaknesses. If we attack one point, we will be able to capture it. ”
Han Anguo grabbed his fingers, as if he was grasping Yun Xiao in his hands.
"Report, the prince Xiangguo. Yunhou arrived, and Princess Guantao just sent someone to say that she was unwell. Do not attend this banquet. ”
A man in a black suit said with a forked hand.
King Liang smiled to himself.
"Now everyone is monkey spirit, and the second sister has also become smarter, it seems that there is really no honest person in this Chang'an City."
"The prince is wrong again, in fact, the people who wait for the price at both ends of the first rat are stupid. To put it irreverently, the princess chose this way because she was not smart enough, if the princess was smart enough to see the long-term situation, how could she not stand on the side of the prince? ”
"Oh, what do you say?"
One of Han Anguo's analyses is reasonable, and there are many verifications. King Liang relied on his own Xiangguo very much.
"The princess's plan is probably that if the prince deserves the position of prince, he can rely on the love of his sister and brother to get rich for another few decades, in order to plan for the future. If the eldest son of the emperor wins the position of prince, he will marry Gillian to the eldest son of the emperor as his wife. The eldest son of the Emperor ascended the throne, and she was both the emperor's aunt, the empress's mother, and the emperor's mother-in-law. In any case, there will be no shortage of wealth.
This woman is calculating, but she doesn't know that the more shrewd she is, the more she loses. ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go see that brilliant talent in your mouth."
Liu Wu has been friends with his sister Princess Guantao since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't like Han Anguo's rhetoric. But there was no way to refute this important minister, so he had to divert the topic.
Princess Guantao got the queen mother's will, although she did not participate in this banquet due to her identity. But she still put a lot of thought into it, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to offend this powerful brother.
Ya Yu Xuan.
This is the most secluded place in the princess's mansion, there is no one.
Yun Xiao stepped on the creaking wooden hallway and looked out through the light gauze curtains. The fragrance of the courtyard is as far as the eye can see, making people feel like they are in a flower.
The thatched chamber is located in the middle of the garden, and the lightly hanging gauze curtain seems to isolate the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Listen to the frogs and crickets in the pond not far away, and taste the delicious food by the lights. It is really a great thing in the world, and every table and chair in the room is made of jade. This Yayuxuan really deserves the word Yayu.
As soon as Yun Xiao sat down, the maid gave Yun Xiao a warm cloth towel to wipe his face. Peeking at the furnishings in front of him, there were only one main and two deputy seats. Obviously, there were only three people at the banquet. Yun Xiao wanted to know who the other person was besides himself and King Liang.
The gauze curtain was lightly lifted, and a maid led King Liang out of the back hall. What followed King Liang out was a short middle-aged man with a garlic nose and small eyes, plus two whiskers. Yun Xiao thinks that this person's appearance can compete with that of Ju Meng.
"The Marquis of Lintong has been sitting for a long time, and this king is late to ask for forgiveness."
To Yun Xiao's surprise, King Liang, who had always been arrogant, actually put on a rare low posture towards himself.
"Where, the prince carries love. Yun Xiao has just arrived, and he has not thanked the prince yet. Yesterday, the prince came to Yunxiao's wedding, and there were many people busy, and there was a place where the hospitality was not good, and the prince Haihan was invited. ”
"Hahaha, don't be polite. This is Han Anguo, the king's prime minister. Come on, come on, Lintong Hou, sit down. Let's eat and talk and play drums. ”
The sound of silk and bamboo chimes suddenly sounded, and Yun Xiao wondered where these drummers were hiding.
