After eating and drinking a full breakfast, we will start again.

Yang Ze called Yan Chenghou and said to him: "Today you sent someone to serve me and Lord Wu, we understand this kindness, but don't do it again in the future, after all, we are really embarrassed to spend your family's money." ”

Yan Chenghou shook his head and said: "General Yang, isn't this what we said last night, the grass people will enter Beijing with you, let's eat together, live together, and of course use them together, many people have heard it, why do adults regret it again?" He spoke slowly, apparently someone had taught him, and he said it according to the gourd drawing.

Yang Ze was stunned, he said such things last night, but at that time he wanted Yan Chenghou and his entourage to eat and drink, anyway, such a large team, the supplies are sufficient, and there is not much food for a few of them, but he didn't think about it, now it has become him eating and drinking, but the Yan family spends money.

Shaking his head, Yang Ze said: "This, I didn't mean to be like this......"

"That's the case, General Yang and Lord Wu agreed, that is, they agreed, you are officials, you have to talk about it!" Yan Chenghou is serious, but unfortunately the expression on his face betrayed him, this is still taught to him by others, and the person who can teach him can only be his grandfather, it seems that the old man of the Yan family is really prescient, and he expected Yang Ze to say this, so he taught his grandson in advance.

Yang Ze thought to himself: "Am I taking bribes?" "But think about it again, what can you do if you take bribes, anyway, if you have a low official position and don't go to the capital, you won't attract the attention of those imperial historians, and even if you are participated in by the imperial historians, there is Wu Youren in front of you!

Finding a reason for receiving benefits for himself, Yang Ze felt at ease, and he said, "Okay, let's dine together in the future." But soup or something in the morning, forget it, I don't like this very much! ”

Yan Chenghou hurriedly nodded in agreement, in fact, he himself couldn't enjoy that kind of service, and he couldn't stand the servant's service.

The team went all the way to the south, but there were no strange things on the way, Yang Ze enjoyed the filial piety of the Yan family with peace of mind, and not only was the journey not hard. Instead, I gained some weight.

On this day, the sun was shining, and the team walked to Xingzhou, which was the last state to the capital of the Dafang Empire, and passed Xingzhou. Walk for half a day, and you will arrive in the capital!

Xingzhou is already the hinterland of the Central Plains, a prosperous place, and there is no similarity with the atmosphere of northern Xinjiang.

The people here are well-dressed, haughty, and talkative, even if they are small traders and peddlers. Due to Xingzhou's proximity to the capital, there are many merchants here, and there are many yellow-bearded and red-bearded Fanbang Hu merchants, and the people of Xingzhou speak with a foreign accent. All of them have a strong sense of superiority, no matter what they say or do, they are ignorant of it, but people from other places actually agree with this sense of superiority. After being discriminated against, I didn't see many people angry!

After the team arrived in Xingzhou. Yang Ze went to Wu Youren and asked where he should be stationed, whether he was going into the city or outside the city? Wu Youren asked him to camp outside the city and wait for news, while he himself went into the city.

On the same day, it was not until the second half of the night that Wu Youren came back, drunk and drunk, and when he saw Yang Ze, he said happily: "Our affairs, the emperor already knows, let us wait in Xingzhou, it is estimated that tomorrow the court will send someone to lead us into Beijing, this time we will show our faces in front of the people of the capital!" "Anyway, laughing, very proud.

Yang Ze is also very happy, he doesn't want to play low-key, during the day he can see the style of the people of Xingzhou, he already understands that this is an era that I am born to be useful, playing low-key is not suitable for this era, to be high-spirited, in order to get the respect of others, and to be able to get the attention of others, and for him, to be respected and valued, it is extremely important, who let him start low!

I wanted to ask Wu Youren how to show his face, but Wu Youren fell asleep, he waited for a long time, and he didn't see Wu Youren wake up, so he had to go back to his tent.

Early the next morning, Wu Youren woke up and took the initiative to find Yang Ze and told him that the Ministry of Rites was going to send someone to pick them up, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites would discuss with them how to sacrifice prisoners!

When Yang Ze heard this, he felt incredible, and he asked, "How to sacrifice prisoners, is it the Ministry of Rites that we discussed?" There should be a formal process for this, right, is it difficult for us to build yì? "He didn't say anything in his heart, we are old, and we can change the process!

Wu Youren waved his hand and said: "Of course, there are ready-made rules, but that is for the national war." These captives we brought this time are just the khan kings of a small tribe, and this matter is quite big in Ningbei Province, but when we get to the capital, what is this! As the saying goes, you can't contain fire in paper, if it is known, it is just a small tribe that ran to our territory to rob, but we offered it as if it was a prisoner of war, then no one should laugh off the big teeth! ”

Yang Ze thought to himself: "When you were in Linzhou, you didn't say that, why did your tone change as soon as you arrived in Xingzhou and drank a drink!" ”

Wu Youren said again: "In a few days, there will be a big poetry meeting by the Qujiang Pond, and the emperor and the bigwigs of the court will go. ”

Yang Zeqi said: "Didn't you want us to sacrifice prisoners, how did you talk about the poetry meeting?" ”

He guessed that it might be to let those captives appear at the poetry meeting, and then for the empress and dignitaries, as well as a group of literati and to tease, and after the addiction of playing the prisoners, then let Tiehua leave the ground and worship, so that it can be regarded as a prisoner.

Sure enough, Wu Youren said: "It's not a national war to offer prisoners, but if you want to raise the prestige of our country and make the emperor and her old man happy, then you have to have a lot of fun...... and this is really similar to Yang Ze's guess.

Yang Ze said with a smile: "When the time comes, the literati will be ...... That poet wrote a lot of poems to praise the merits of this matter, and to please the emperor, and to record it in the book, maybe even publish a collection of poems, killing two birds with one stone, right? ”

Wu Youren nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly the case." Let's just wait here, I guess the Ministry of Rites will be able to send someone in the morning. ”

The more people you wait, the more you feel that time flies slowly, and you will find that the people who come are always late, saying that they come in the morning, then they have to come in the afternoon!

It wasn't until the afternoon that the sun was almost westerly that the people from the Ministry of Rites came, and they came by car, only a light carriage, followed by an entourage, and at the front of the carriage, there was a lantern with the word Ministry of Rites written on it, and this lantern could show its identity, but unfortunately it was not possible to light the lantern in broad daylight.

Yang Ze looked at the carriage from a distance and thought, "Is the Ministry of Rites not taking this matter seriously, I feel very lazy!" He looked at Wu Youren, and saw that Wu Youren also had a disappointed expression on his face, maybe he felt despised because Bai was so happy last night, and he was so drunk!

Fu Bingrong, as a senior brother, looked like a senior brother, without waiting for Yang Ze's instructions, turned over and got on the horse, urging the horse to go to the carriage, and when he got closer, he saw him ask a few words, and then urged the horse back, and when he came back, his face was full of surprise.

Yang Ze asked, "Is it indeed from the Ministry of Rites?" How big is an official? ”

Fu Bingrong said: "He said that he came from the Ministry of Rites, and he was still a foreigner, called Li Bozhi." But looking at his appearance, he seems to be very old, sitting in the car, the body shakes, and he will fall apart at any time when he looks like him! ”

Yang Ze turned his head and asked Wu Youren: "Is there such a foreigner in the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Wu Youren's face was as ugly as it was, he said: "It turned out to be this old antique, why did you send him, this person opened and closed his mouth is all the law of the ancestors, so stubborn that he can't do it, and he is the most annoying thing in the entire Ministry of Rites!" ”

"Then how did you send him? We're offering prisoners, so it's a big deal! "Yang Ze is surprised, I feel that the Ministry of Rites is too unreliable.

Wu Youren was in an extremely bad mood and said: "Where do I know, but as long as this old thing mixes everything, it will definitely have to be mixed with Huang!" When he spoke, he lost his usual demeanor and burst out foul.

As he spoke, the light carriage came near, and the attendant dismounted, and helped an old man from the carriage, who was wearing a light crimson official robe, and the official robe was very old, the sleeves were frayed, and where it was broken, a grass-green patch was put on, and it was conspicuous to look at.

Yang Ze looked up and down at this old man named Li Bozhi, and saw that he was thin, his face was full of folds, his beard was all white, but he was neatly combed, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked like he couldn't wake up, so he almost yawned, a bit like smoking a lot of cigarettes.

Li Bozhi walked over tremblingly, and arched his hand at Wu Youren: "Lord Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" The tone was slow and his voice trembled, giving the impression that he could hang up at any moment.

Wu Youren immediately smiled with a smile on his face, bowed his hand back, and said, "Thanks to Master Li's blessing, the student's body is quite passable." I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know if Mr. Li has always been good? ”

Li Bozhi said: "It's okay, it's okay, the old body and bones are okay, and I can still be loyal to the emperor for a few years and serve for a few years!" ”

Wu Youren thought to himself: "You said this more than ten years ago, and you still say it now, a few years?" I don't see that you will not resign until the day you die! ”

He turned around and said to Yang Ze: "General Yang, when you first came to the capital, you must not know Master Li, so I will introduce you here." Mr. Li is the most respected adult in my dynasty, he is already eighty and two this year, he should have returned to his hometown to retire and enjoy the joy of teasing his grandson, but the emperor can't do without his old man, whenever Mr. Li wants to return to his hometown, he will keep it, so that Mr. Li is still worried about state affairs, and it can be seen from this point that the emperor values Mr. Li! ”

Wu Youren's words sounded very polite, he was praising Li Bozhi, but there was a lot of irony in it, even Yang Ze could hear it, Li Bozhi was old and refined, so he could naturally hear it, but his old face was neither red nor white, he was very light and clear, he didn't care at all, and even nodded slightly to express his approval, which had to be admired.

Li Ze hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and took the initiative to say his name and official position, but he thought in his heart: "I am over eighty, and I haven't retired yet, I seem to be an old official fan, but when I reach the age, I should retire, how can he still be an official in the capital, what's so strange about this?"
