Chapter 13: Heavenly Machines (9)
may have noticed that the atmosphere was a little cold, Yuan Zhize put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass and said, "Come, third child, I will toast you, I was too fierce to you in the morning, and I will make amends to you." ”
"The eldest brother is reasonable, it is true that I am ignorant and almost ruined the national affairs, so I should apologize to the eldest brother. Yuan Zhiyu also hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said tremblingly. "Lord Wang, let the past pass, don't let the brotherhood be ruined because of this. Seeing that Yuan Zhize's tone was loose, I also said a few words carefully, Yuan Zhiyu glanced at me, his eyes were full of gratitude, I thought to myself, this time I helped you say good things, you can finally let me go in the future, right?
"Yes, Sister Xiaoxiao is right, brother, don't be angry, anger will hurt your body. Wanyun also interjected on the side, and Yuan Zhize finally showed a long-lost smile on his face: "Okay, then drink this glass of wine, forget all the previous unpleasantness, and do it!" Wanyun and I replaced the wine with tea, and also raised the glass, and the four cups made a crisp collision sound in mid-air.
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, everyone returned to normal, there was laughter and laughter at the wine table, the brothers raised their glasses frequently, and Wanyun and I were happy to enjoy the delicious food on the wine table. After a while, the brothers had already settled two jugs of wine, and their cheeks were slightly red.
Yuan Zhize lay down on the back of the chair and closed his eyes comfortably: "I'm going to leave here tomorrow, and I'm really reluctant." I didn't have such a comfortable life when I returned to Hanzhong. "Lord, what's so good here, uninhabited, poor mountains and bad waters, where can it compare to the bustling city?" I joked with a smile.
"Isn't it good here?" Yuan Zhize leaned forward to the table all of a sudden, lazily propped his head with his arm and said: "If you are bored here, you can go hunting in the mountains, gallop around, and you can also indulge in drinking, unrestrained, and more importantly," Yuan Zhize tried to stretch his face in front of me, and said slyly with a wicked smile on his face: "There are peerless beauties by the side..."
"Lord Wang, you are drunk. I didn't expect Yuan Zhize to make fun of me, my face couldn't help but blush slightly, seeing my embarrassment, Yuan Zhize leaned back on the back of the chair again, laughed, I glanced at Wanyun carefully, and found that Wanyun was looking at the water cup in front of her blankly, with an unnatural expression.
"Brother, you just give those stinky scholars too much face, look at me, you can do whatever you want in Chengdu City, no one dares to say anything about me, do whatever you want!"
"You and I really don't dare to compare, just because you are the king of Chengdu and don't give people face, how many Yizhou assassins have been changed in the imperial court. Yuan Zhize's words were a little more sarcastic, but Yuan Zhiyu was proud, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that it will not take a few more months, and this stinky old man will also return to his hometown with his father, haha..."
Yuan Zhize sighed and said, "Alas, if this continues, I think sooner or later you will have to take the role of the Yizhou Thorn History." Yuan Zhiyu slapped the table and said disdainfully: "Let me go and be in the company of those civil officials who can't carry them on their shoulders and can't hold them in their hands? ”
"No, no, no," Yuan Zhize waved his hand and said, "You, you shouldn't mess with them, they can crush you to death if they come up with any kind of sage's testament." If you want your father to stop hating you, first learn to be a prince who respects Confucianism and courtesy, lest those Beijing officials speak ill of you in front of your father. ”
"As soon as I talk about them, I get angry," Yuan Zhiyu slapped the table and said angrily: "Big brother, you look at the group of bulls around my father, I usually know that I want to cut our military spending and cut redundant troops when I talk to my father, and I can't wait to lay us off, grandma's, when it comes to the war, she will push us down to the front desk and shed blood for them." Yuan Zhiyu drank all the glass of wine in front of him, and his teeth squeaked: "Sometimes, I really want to chop them all one by one!"
Yuan Zhize tilted his neck and toasted, sighed and said: "But then again, this world is defeated, but if you want to sit in the world, you really can't leave them." "That's too unfair!" Yuan Zhiyu seemed to have nowhere to vent his grievances: "Big brother, look at the generals who followed Taizu to conquer the world, which one of them was not a feudal marquis of the land and a supreme minister, what about us?
"When eating, don't mention him!" Yuan Zhize was furious, and stretched out his hand to interrupt Yuan Zhiyu's words. "Yes, don't mention him, don't mention him..."
"Brother, I don't know something. Yuan Zhiyu held the wine glass in one hand and his chin in the other, as if thinking about something. "What, what's the matter?" "Didn't you say that Huang Que was an eye planted by the imperial court in Xiqiang? He should have stayed on the Qiang side, how could he run to the Central Plains, wouldn't it be that kid who was lazy and grinding foreign workers?"
"Did you hear something?" asked Yuan Zhize as he poured himself wine. "It's nothing," Yuan Zhiyu observed Yuan Zhize's reaction, and said cautiously: "When I interrogated him at the time, he said that he came from Jiangling, and said that he went to attend some posterior conference..."
I was taken aback, my hand holding vegetables in mid-air froze, and a lewd face appeared in my mind, that yellow finch, could it be him...
