Chapter 24: Hubris
When Sanhe drove the carriage and arrived at King Yan's mansion, Yang Yue couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the welcoming situation of hundreds of officials outside the mansion gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the early dynasty, he was crowned king, and after retiring from the court, he was anxious to return to the mansion, in order to avoid causing a big fanfare situation outside the mansion.
was delayed by the news of the string song, and it was still a step too late.
At this moment, his carriage appeared, and I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and when the officials heard the news, they rushed forward and surrounded the carriage on all sides.
One by one, they were beaming, and shouted to Yang Yue with their fists.
"Congratulations to the prince, you finally raised your eyebrows!"
"Congratulations to the prince for being crowned king, and the official Hu Feng!"
"Congratulations to the prince, Xia Guan Wumen is biased to Yue Donghai!"
.......
The officials around the edge of the carriage rushed one by one to show up in front of Yang Yue, as if they were afraid that Yang Yue would not see them.
Yang Yue quickly jumped down from the carriage, patted the shoulders of several officials in front of him, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said loudly: "Yue Donghai, Mo Yushan, Han Lu... Well, this king has remembered your names, and he should entertain you today, but the battle of the flying cavalry is imminent, and this king needs to concentrate on preparation, and after winning the general, he will feast on you, let's drink and talk! ”
Directly expelling the officials who came to congratulate him, no matter what the other party had, in the court, everyone looked up and did not look down, and it was easy to push these officials into a hostile direction.
In Yang Yue's view, even if he doesn't have a deep relationship with these officials who are sloppy and patting horses, he should maintain a gentle relationship, leave a line today, and see each other in the future, which is almost the reason.
When the officials present heard this, although they were reluctant, they did not stay for long, after all, they were not unclear about the competition of the flying cavalry, I don't know how many people were staring at the position of the general of the flying cavalry?
What's more, King Yan said very clearly, after seizing the position of general, he will hold a banquet to drink and talk with everyone, and it will only be a matter of two days.
In order to leave a good impression on Yang Yue, these officials surrendered their resignations one after another.
When leaving, they said one by one, what King Yan is a general of a hundred battles, and the position of general is at his fingertips, or King Yan is like a god with soldiers, and the position of general is in the bag.
There were all kinds of words, and seeing the officials leave, Yang Yue pursed his lips, shook the sleeves of his court clothes, and walked towards the palace with his hands in his hands.
At this time, at the gate of the palace, behind the stone lion of the town house, a figure suddenly flashed, standing in front of Yang Yue, and said: "Xiaguan Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant Sima Kuo greets the prince!" ”
Yan Yuefeng wanted to step forward to stop it, feeling that a sixth-rank lower-level military general was a bit wishful thinking when he tried to climb the high branch of King Yan, but unexpectedly, he was secretly stopped by Yang Yue.
"Hmm!" Yang Yue nodded, stared at Sima Kuo and asked, "Sima Kuo, are you also congratulating this king?" ”
Sima Kuo stepped forward, straightened out the shabby but clean armor on his body, and said loudly: "A group of people who have shaved and patted horses, and the lower officials are ashamed to come today, specially to solve problems for the prince!" ”
Hearing the sound, Yang Yue looked at Sima Kuo carefully, felt that this guy was amazing, and couldn't help but ask playfully: "Sima Kuo, this king has made great contributions and canonized as kings. ”
"Lord, you ask the lower officials for advice, and you will serve guests outside the palace gate, is this the prince's way of hospitality?" Sima Kuo did not give an answer, but instead raised objections to Yang Yue's hospitality.
"Sima Kuo, don't forget your identity, a sixth-rank lower-level general, you dare to make a mistake in front of the prince, believe it or not, this general hacked you?" Sima Kuo's arrogant words couldn't help but provoke Yan Yuefeng to be angry, King Yan has a very high reputation in the right martial guard, and his character and etiquette are geometric, and it is definitely not the turn of a six-rank lower-level military general to comment.
Yang Yue was not angry, and said in a kind tone: "What Deputy Lieutenant Sima said is right, outside the palace gate, it is indeed not a place to welcome guests, but this king is abrupt." Lieutenant, don't mind, enter the house to talk in detail. ”
Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, but where there are talented people, most of them are unruly, and their personalities are eccentric, today, Sima Kuo has real talent and real learning, but he can recruit his subordinates, if he talks nonsense and grandstands, he doesn't mind letting the guards in the palace directly throw the other party out of the palace.
Yang Yue, Changshi Fan Hengwen, Zhonglang put Yan Yuefeng, Sima Kuo, and a few family members into the house.
The people in the palace were quite happy that Yang Yue was crowned king, and felt that Yang Yue's faction finally raised their eyebrows once.
Everyone entered the house and walked into the living room, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the living room, where there were mountains of gifts, Yang Yue frowned slightly, quite displeased.
At this time, Fan Hengwen quickly stepped forward and explained: "These are all gifts specially sent by officials to honor the prince. ”
Hearing the sound, Yang Yue stepped forward and picked up a gold-inlaid mahogany box in a conspicuous place, and after opening it, there was a walnut night pearl in the box.
Yang Yue swept his eyes, took it in his hand and played with it for a while, then put it in the box, put the box on the table, and ordered: "Fan Changshi, where did these gifts come from, send them back intact." ”
"Lord Wang, this move is inappropriate, it is easy to alienate the relationship with the officials of the DPRK and China!" Fan Changshi argued.
The officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee sent it graciously, and if they were to be retreated as they were, wouldn't those officials be hot and cold buttocks, and they would be humiliated.
"The icing on the cake, it's better to send charcoal in the snow, yesterday, the day before yesterday, why didn't they give gifts, today they gave gifts, it's not that they saw this king being promoted, a group of flattering villains, alienated." Yang Yue said sharply.
As a human being in two lives, he knows a lot of truths, especially for Wu Ti, and has seen all kinds of people, so he hates this kind of person who slaps horses the most.
"Yes, don't worry!" Fan Changshi could see that Yang Yue loved these things very much, but he sent them back, which required will.
At this time, Yang Yue's attention shifted to Sima Kuo, invited the other party to the study, sent someone to serve hot tea and pastries, and asked, "Deputy Lieutenant Sima, at this time, you should say it, right?" ”
Sima Kuo still didn't say anything, picked up the teacup, and leisurely tasted the tea, ignoring Yang Yue who was waiting next to him.
At this moment, Yan Yuefeng next to him had a pale face, his hand was clenched into a fist, and he made a slight sound.
Sima Kuo is too crazy, no one in the eyes of anyone else, and he is unruly when he comes to Yanwang's Mansion, whether he is talented or not, he is now joking with his life.
After a cup of hot tea, Sima Kuo put the teacup in his hand on the table, his face did not change, as if no one was there, and he concentrated on tasting the pastries on the plate.
Looking at it, Yang Yue Gujing is not bo, he is also tasting tea, waiting patiently, he wants to see what Sima Kuo is doing.
Next to him, Fan Hengwen looked anxious, but he didn't say much.
Yan Yuefeng couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't need to endure it anymore, he pouted, stood up suddenly, walked like the wind, came to Sima Kuo, who was concentrating on eating, grabbed the armor on his chest, and shouted: "Enough, a little lieutenant Zhaowu, dare to be arrogant, bastard, this general must teach you a good lesson." ”
