Chapter Seventy-Seven: Seven Cups and Seven Steps
State City
A building boat leaned against the shore, the sky was slightly dark, sparkling, and there were some armor soldiers lined up on the deck on the building boat, and the leather armor long knife clanged, and it immediately looked murderous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The governor looked at the top of the ship, and as the sun set, the governor sighed, turned his head and asked an official, "Has the Marquis of Jibei moved recently?"
"My lord, the Marquis of Jibei suffered a loss in the Governor's Mansion, and went back to be furious, Yu did not move, and now the Hou Mansion is shrinking its strength, but yesterday the third prince of the Hou Mansion, Wei Ang, seemed to be attacked by assassins, but they were all killed by the guards, and it was no big deal. The official said.
"Well, I also know about this, these thieves are really bold enough to dare to enter the state capital to assassinate, this banquet, the protection of the manpower is all arranged, right?" the governor asked.
"My lord, don't worry, this banquet is guarded by armor, and there are patrols in the banquet, and the guests have all been checked, and there will never be a situation where they carry weapons to pass the customs in confusion. The official said.
"Well, that's okay, let me supervise Jibei Hou, his son was stabbed and suffered a big loss, at this time Jibei Hou is so quiet, I am always a little uneasy, these two years of fighting, although it is not a mortal enemy, but I also figured out a little bit of this person's character. ”
"This man is stoic, if he does not move, if he moves, he will be killed, and he must not be guarded!" said the Governor, touching his beard.
"My lord, it is inevitable to be careful, but please rest assured, the supervision must be in place, but now that Chen is about to have a dinner, please prepare for the banquet!" the official said with a smile.
Governor Avenues even had the idea of wooing scribes.
Or a hundred years of peace, the governor's power is deep-rooted, and there is no need for this move, but now at the beginning of the founding of the country, especially when it comes to the struggle with the founding generals, it is very important to fight for Shilin - not because it is famous, but because most of the people are gentry of local counties.
The last time Jibei Hou Wen banquet, the new Xie Yuangong wrote that he would enter the wine, and the governor deeply regretted it, but this banquet had already been set, I heard that Xie Yuangong had recently resigned from a lot of banquets, I don't know if this time will come, this official looked at the governor down, touched his beard and thought.
The ox cart was trotting on the road, and a bell was tied around the neck of the ox, which "jingled", Pei Zi was on the ox cart, with his eyes slightly closed, and a long sword on his leg, which seemed to be resting, and seemed to be preparing, and storing spirit.
"Huh" with the coachman's voice tightened the reins, stopped on the side of the river, not far away is the Governor's banquet building boat at night, the coachman whispered to the car: "Xie Yuangong, you have arrived on the shore of the banquet boat." ”
With the coachman's soft call, Pei Ziyun opened his eyes and stabilized his mind, there will be an assassin attack tonight, the memory of the previous life is that the governor was assassinated, and the specific situation was blocked and not exposed, so he had no choice but to take one step at a time.
"You go find a place to rest, and come back to pick me up after the banquet in the evening." Pei Ziyun told the coachman that he didn't know what would happen at night, so he didn't have to let the coachman get involved.
"Yes, Xie Yuangong. The coachman responded, and drove the ox cart to find a place to stay.
Pei Ziyun touched the hilt of the sword, and walked towards the banquet building boat with the invitation in hand.
Under the ship, an official with a few scribes guarded the shore, two lines of armored soldiers, and a few officials were also standing together to guard the way to the ship.
In front, there were several officials who stepped forward with invitations, but were stopped by soldier A, who took the invitation to investigate, and soldier A checked whether he was carrying a murder weapon, and then let him pass.
Student Pei Ziyun. Pei Ziyun handed over the invitation and arched his hand.
"It turned out to be Pei Jieyuan. The official stared at this man, who looked like he was just sixteen years old, and his whole body was neat and tidy, who would have thought that he would be able to write about the wine and move the whole state?
smiled at the moment: "Please also ask Pei Xie Yuan to untie the sword." ”
Although Pei Ziyun can carry a sword, but this is the governor's banquet and cannot be carried, Pei Ziyun was stunned, so he took off the sword, and his own official stepped forward to take it before letting Pei Ziyun get on the boat.
When I arrived at the ship, the ship was very large, the building had four floors, all wooden, all guarded by armored soldiers on all sides, with colorful flags fluttering in the wind, and some officials were talking in the wind on the side of the ship, looking peaceful and prosperous.
Entering the shipyard, there is also a platform here, on the stage, the dancing girl Red Changling is dancing in her hand, and many officials in the audience are sitting on the table and watching the performance.
Pei Ziyun is meticulous observation of the surrounding environment, the windows are wide open, the wind blows in, the second floor has no ceiling, but empty, the second floor can just watch the first floor dance, everywhere is full of lights, hanging lanterns and red cloth, very lively.
It's just that Pei Ziyun frowned, this environment is not conducive to protection and assassination at all, or he didn't expect that there were Japanese robbers going up the river and sneaking up the river in the middle of the night, this matter can't be said directly.
After taking a few steps and looking carefully, in addition to the officials, there were some celebrities, lifters, and even a few talents at this banquet, some of whom I had seen during the last banquet in the Hou Mansion.
A man just greeted him and gave a salute: "Xie Yuangong, it's really rare to see, the last time the Hou Mansion had a banquet, it was really a blessing to see Xie Yuangong's demeanor, I don't know if Xie Yuangong has a masterpiece tonight." ”
Pei Ziyun looked at it, the famous man Li Shi, who was quite famous in the state capital, last time there was this person in the Jibei Hou Mansion, Fu Juren specially introduced, listened to this question, and smiled: "It turned out to be Mr. Li, is there any poetry, you have to drink a few glasses of wine, no wine and no poetry." ”
"Haha, Xie Yuangong is really heroic, please sit here, they are all people from the state capital, let's talk about poetry and words together, and it is really appropriate to talk about scriptures and classics. After speaking, Li Ming came up and pulled Pei Ziyun to sit together.
The night was getting late, and the hour had just passed, and the people were still about to continue their discussions, when suddenly someone shouted: "Your Excellency the Governor has arrived!"
"It seems that we can't talk about it anymore. Li Ming smiled and sighed, but saw several armor soldiers lined up, and an official turned around.
At this time, the drum music came softly, Pei Ziyun squinted, looking at the sunset at this time, a piece of blood-red water, the waves hit the side of the ship layer by layer, the two armor soldiers stood like nails according to the sword, and the other soldiers stood in line on both sides, and there was a solemn majesty in an instant.
In an instant, the group saluted: "I have seen the governor." ”
The Governor smiled: "I have received you from birth, get up quickly, and only talk about articles today, regardless of grade." ”
After a few more words, the feast was announced.
With the feast, the people who serve the food are all coming and going, and the excitement is extraordinary, and when the wine is served, someone comes forward, holding a wine glass and saying: "Xie Yuangong, I heard you say just now, no wine is not a poem, now the wine is up, I salute you three glasses, but there is a good article." ”
This person has a very loud voice and a provocative language, these people heard that there were people everywhere praising Xie Yuan Pei Ziyun's extraordinary literary talent, they were very unconvinced, and when they heard Pei Ziyun's words just now, they were about to come up to toast and ask for an article.
Pei Ziyun glanced at it, this person's facial features are not very good, and it just doesn't taste right when he comes up to speak, Pei Ziyun smiled coldly and said: "Writing poetry requires not only wine, but also mood, but when I see you, I am not in the mood, and there is no poetry with wine." ”
This person himself is provocative, and his speech is yin and yang: "What is in a bad mood, what is there to drink and no poetry, I'm afraid it is an excuse for not having poetry." ”
This voice was very loud, Pei Ziyun was bored, no matter in the previous life on the earth or here, there were always a lot of such people, as long as you are good, he will be jealous and think of ways to provoke.
"Ignorant. Pei Ziyun raised his eyelids slightly, and said sarcastically that he ignored it, if you tell me to do it, I will do it, who are you?
The commotion also attracted the attention of the front, and the governor raised his eyelids and asked, "Who is that young man?"
"My lord, that young man was shining in the Hou Mansion a few days ago, and he wrote that he would enter the wine Pei Ziyun Pei Xie Yuan. The official beside the governor smiled and said, "Actually, you have seen it before, but now it is far away." ”
It was common for people to be contemptuous of each other at the banquet, but the governor didn't care, so he ordered: "Please Xie Yuan come to me." ”
Following the governor's order, a guard went to invite Pei Ziyun: "Duke Xie Yuan, the governor is invited, please talk about it earlier." ”
Pei Ziyun happily agreed, and the person who provoked just now looked at it with burning eyes, full of unwillingness.
Pei Ziyun is near, in the past life and in this life, he can only be regarded as a governor in the real sense, this is an elegant man, tall and tall, in his forties, with a bookish atmosphere, and with the majesty of authority in his hands, he looked at Pei Ziyun and said with a smile: "Xie Yuangong, a few days ago, I heard that you made three cups of poems in the Jibei Hou Mansion, and wrote "Will Enter the Wine", which circulated in the state capital, it is simply Luoyang paper expensive, I don't know if Xie Yuangong came today, but what is the masterpiece?"
At this moment, I heard a voice: "Lord Governor, just now Duke Xie Yuan came to the door and said that there is wine and poetry, and there will be great works." ”
It turned out that the man just now followed, and listening to Pei Ziyun's words from afar, he was impatient.
"Noise, Lord Governor, speak, how can you interject, give me a quick retreat. It was only when the official on the Governor's side stepped forward and reprimanded him loudly that he realized that he had made a mistake and offended the Governor, and hurriedly retreated and sat down.
The Governor didn't care, and said to Pei Ziyun with a smile: "Xie Yuan is this?"
Pei Ziyun said with a smile: "I will enter the wine, don't stop the cup, the last three glasses of wine is poetic, and now if the governor pours three glasses of wine, I can also compose poetry." ”
When the governor spoke to him, he looked arrogant, and the official's face changed a little, and he stepped forward to reprimand him.
The governor knew that Pei Ziyun had entered the Daomen, but in fact, he did not continue to make progress in his career, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, and smiled: "What's so difficult about this, but three cups are too stingy, last time you drank three cups, you have to enter the wine, come, I poured seven cups of wine today, I don't know what poems you can make after drinking." ”
The Governor took the wine glass from the hands of the man on his side, poured seven glasses in a row, and said, "Please!"
"Haha, this wine is in the field, go to the mortar, measure it to a bucket, put it in a bag, soak it in spring water, take the medicine as a koji, drink the cup, the gentleman wants to drink a few more cups. Pei Ziyun laughed, took the wine, took a sip, and drank a full glass, and the audience immediately applauded.
