Chapter 1182: Banquet Guests
Hearing this, the third prince smiled half-truthfully and said, "Big brother's joke is a joke, but he can't say that." (Free full book) The most painful thing for my father is naturally the prince, this is my mother's concubine who specially asked my father for an auspicious luck, but it can't be anything! ”
The prince laughed, and after hearing the words of the third prince, he felt a little more comfortable, and said with a generous smile: "Everyone is a brother, there is no need to pick the words, the eldest brother also said it casually." ”
The eldest prince also smiled: "Just talk casually in front of our brothers, I have a sense of proportion outside!" Third, don't worry. ”
The third prince touched his nose and smiled: "The prince and the eldest brother are both generous people, but I seem to be a little childish!" Come on, come on, drink and drink, don't get drunk tonight! ”
"That is, you are the God of Wealth, if you don't slaughter you ruthlessly, I don't care about others, I am reluctant to leave!" The eldest prince laughed as he spoke.
When the wine was full, everyone pushed their glasses and drank them.
When the wine enters the throat, its mellow aroma and smooth aftertaste are really different, and everyone can't help but praise a few words.
Only the sixth prince was still quite young, and after secretly taking a sip, he bared his teeth and frowned, and shouted repeatedly, "It's hard to drink!" It made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed for a while.
The third prince and the fourth prince really didn't seem to have any other intentions or wit, and the topics they talked about were all ups and downs, not only Lu Zhan wondered in his heart, but the crown prince and the eldest prince couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
You must know that the third prince has always been a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, and will never invite his brothers to gather for dinner on a whim.
It's just that today's host is the third prince, and since he only talks about the wind and snow and the anecdotes of the capital, others naturally won't talk about any unpleasant topics.
At one time, more than half of the banquet was over, the wine and food were almost used, and after the serving steward asked for instructions, the operas on the small stage were lined up.
After a while, a clever man came up, quickly removed the remnant of the table, and re-served melon and fruit snacks and fragrant tea.
Today's opera three princes are obviously selected with their hearts, and the ones selected are what the prince likes on weekdays, and soon, the prince will be fascinated by it, and comment on one or two from time to time, the three princes smile and compliment, and the prince is even happier.
Lu Zhan has no interest in this kind of opera, but he came with the prince, so naturally he had to leave with him.
The prince was in a good mood at this time, and he could only accompany him.
The eldest prince is even less interested in this kind of opera that has sour teeth, he loves the lively martial arts drama of opening and closing and killing all directions, and it is only exciting to watch and listen to it like that.
is like this in front of me, twisting and pinching, shaking three times in one step, and singing a tail note for a long time, making people worry about whether the play will be out of breath, which is really uncomfortable.
But in the same way, because the prince likes it and is on the rise, it is inconvenient for the eldest prince to leave.
Even if there is an excuse to leave, the eldest prince will not leave - what if he leaves these younger brothers, who are not fuel-efficient lamps, say something that should not be missed, but he misses it? There is nothing else to do horizontally and vertically, just to kill time.
It's just that the eldest prince didn't have much patience in the end, so he barely listened to half a while, then got up and said that he wanted to go out to breathe, and by the way, he also called Lu Zhan out.
Lu Zhan was not the crown prince, so he couldn't listen to it so fascinatingly, and the second was invited by the eldest prince, and he couldn't refuse it, so he went out with him.
The top floor of this Zhenxian Pavilion is very spacious, the hall and the stage are on this side, the two of them went to that side to hide quietly, look at the railing from afar, looking at the bustling night under the bright lights, but there is also a little moving.
The eldest prince has always been courting Lu Zhan, and it is undeniable that if he speaks more straightforwardly and boldly, if he is not so meaningful and meaningful, Lu Zhan will prefer to talk to him.
After all, both of them have been in the barracks, and they have more common topics when they talk and discuss.
But the eldest prince couldn't move the temptation and throw olive branches explicitly and implicitly, Lu Zhan's feeling was not so wonderful.
For example, right now, after a few words, the eldest prince talked about a competition that would be held soon.
The deputy commander of the Nine Cities Terracotta Division was no longer qualified for his job due to illness and handed in his resignation, and this position became vacant.
As we all know, Lord Du, the boss of the Jiucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, is very old, and the reason why he is still sitting in this position is because he is old enough and respectable enough to be able to hold on.
But in fact, the actual power of the Nine Cities Terracotta Division is basically in the hands of the two deputy commanders.
Once you control the Nine Cities Terracotta Division, it means that the movements of the entire capital are under your control, and if something happens in the capital, this team of the Nine Cities Terracotta Division is the most powerful team that can be called immediately.
There are 60,000 horses, and with 60,000 horses in hand, you can temporarily control the overall situation and arrange it calmly.
As the emperor grew older, this position became more and more important.
No one would say it explicitly, but there was no one who didn't stare at it.
As a result, as soon as this position was vacated, it was immediately targeted by all parties, and all kinds of open and secret battles began, and nearly a month has passed, and the candidate for this position has still not been decided.
In short, all parties have worked hard, and this position must not fall into the hands of others, even if you can't get it, others can't think about it.
However, this seat can't be left empty forever, someone has to sit down.
Seeing that the courtiers were noisy endlessly, and several officials who were not big or small had been dropped by cannon fodder, Emperor Yonghe was annoyed, so he ordered to conduct an assessment competition, divided into two civil and military games, who won and who was competent, and no one had any objections.
In this way, the position is put out openly, and all parties agree with this plan - no, each depends on his ability!
It's not a matter to keep making trouble like this, if you make trouble again, the emperor should be really angry. When the time comes, no one will be pleased.
As soon as Emperor Yonghe said this, the eldest prince was the happiest, his strength in the court was weak, and it was basically impossible for this piece of big fat to fall into his mouth, but in this way, he became the winner of the greatest possibility.
After all, everyone knows that it is said that there are two competitions in one article and one martial arts, but this position belongs to the martial arts, and as long as you pass the assessment, you are eligible to participate in the martial arts test.
It's very easy to pass, as long as you don't know how to read big characters, and you can barely read two military books.
The martial arts test is a promotion match, a total of three games, and the final winner can pocket this position.
The eldest prince secretly tested Lu Zhan today, just to test and test what arrangements the prince's faction had for this matter. opshow7
