138. Night Banquet

In any case, at this moment, King Yan is still the prince of the Han Dynasty, the eldest brother of the Son of Heaven, and the great clan, even if everyone in the hall understands in their hearts that he covets the throne, he can't show half disrespect on his face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now he is young, the minister is the assistant government, and the king of Yan is the closest relative of the Son of Heaven, even if there is the law of the left official, the court can not be extraordinarily respectful, in order to show the court's respect for the clan.

β€”β€”In the first year of the first century, the rebellion case of Liu Xiao, the king of Qi, even if there was testimony involving King Yan, Huo Guang and Jin Riyan still decided not to punish him endlessly, just because they didn't want people to mistakenly think that Gu Ming's auxiliary ministers took the opportunity to raise a big case and attack the clan.

It is also because of this that even if no one in the court knows the purpose of the envoy of King Yan to stay in Beijing for a long time, no one dares to expel it easily.

- Since there is no proper countermeasure for the time being, it is not necessary to treat each other coldly and show hostility.

Du Yannian's official rank is not high, but he has not dealt with Shou Xichang and others once or twice.

- Huo Guang is cautious, it is not easy to make friends, but most of the general's cronies and acquaintances are in prominent positions, like Du Yannian, who is deeply trusted, and his official rank is not obvious, so he is naturally a rare candidate for friendship.

β€”β€”More or less, in the eyes of outsiders, Du Yannian is still quite qualified to speak for Huo Guang.

Shou Xichang and Sun Zongzhi didn't find Du Yannian at the beginning, and when they entered the table and said goodbye to Ding Wairen, Sun Zongyi looked up and saw that it was Du Yannian sitting on the seat opposite him.

Looking at each other, Du Yannian naturally treated each other with a smile, but Sun Zongzhi was more surprised than happy in his heart.

Shou Xichang was on the seat on the right side of Sun Zongzhi, and after entering the seat, he naturally wanted to gossip with Sun Zongzhi, but when he turned his head, he saw that Sun Zongzhi's expression was wrong, and when he looked at it, he also saw Du Yannian.

Shou Xichang couldn't help frowning, but then he calmed down, got up with Sun Zongzhi, walked to Du Yannian's banquet together, and greeted him politely.

The status of King Yan is respected, but Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Xiaowu have successively set up the law of the left official and the law of collateral, which has damaged the officials under the princes and kings, and under various constraints, the status of the officials of the kingdom is far from being comparable with the officials of the court of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, despite his low official rank, Du Yannian still accepted the two of them calmly, and then spoke to them very politely for a while.

With this movement, Sun Zongzhi calmed down, pressed all his other thoughts, and accompanied Du Yannian with Shou Xichang to chat. The three people who acted harmoniously together, and the entertainment was naturally perfect, and it seemed to be a very harmonious situation, until Ding Wairen accompanied one person in again, and Shou Xichang and Sun Zongzhi said goodbye to Du Yannian very regretfully.

- Who let the general Changshi Gongsun remain?

Seeing Gongsun Yi, the smile in Du Yannian's eyes became more and more obvious, obviously with a gentle smile, but it made Gongsun Yi's heart faintly furious. Fortunately, the two have a deep friendship, and Gongsun Yi said unceremoniously: "Du Jun is laughing at me? ”

The word "Du Jun" is already an unfamiliar honorific, and Gongsun Yi's dissatisfaction is very obvious.

The corners of Du Yannian's lips raised slightly, and he smiled and bowed his hand: "Absolutely not." ”

Seeing that Du Yannian was careful, Gongsun Yi stopped mentioning it, changed his name, and said softly: "Do you know what the young father means, tonight's banquet?" ”

Du Yannian raised his eyebrows, and asked instead of answering: "Was Changshi invited, or did he come on behalf of the general?" ”

Gongsun Yi immediately gave Du Yannian a roll of his eyes: "Ding Wairen dares to invite the general?" ”

- What is the identity of Ding Wairen? has no official and no lord, even if Huo Guang never said anything about it because of the relationship between the eldest princess of Eyi, but how could he surrender his identity to deal with him?

- Even Shangguan An, it is because he had contacts with Ding Wairen before he moved the car and cavalry general, so he has maintained contacts until now.

Although he gave a blank look, Gongsun Yi didn't really think that Du Yannian didn't know the answer to this question. - I guess I asked on purpose......

Both of them are Huo Guang's cronies, how can they not understand each other?

Du Yannian didn't care about Gongsun Yi's attitude, and after hearing his answer, he said: "There is a letter from King Yan today, and soon after it was sent to Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent the Jin brothers to see the eldest princess and the middle palace respectively. Afterwards, the eldest princess met His Majesty with a hesitant face, and the two sisters met alone for half an hour. ”

After saying this whisper, Du Yannian looked at Gongsun Yi silently, which made Gongsun Yi very puzzled: "What do you mean...... Thinking ......"

When the rhetorical question came out, Gongsun Yi frowned in understanding.

Du Yannian nodded slightly.

Gongsun Yi shook his head slowly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, finally smiled, changed the topic, and when they heard about the old accident, they had to point out the furnishings in the hall and recall the old things in the second year of the first century.

"Haha...... It turned out that it was really Ding Jun who was the master, and I said that it was inconvenient for the eldest lord, so I took Ding Jun as the name! The refreshing words came from outside the hospital, although the volume was not high, but the unscrupulous tone made people immediately feel how flamboyant and arrogant the speaker was!

- Shangguan An!

Gongsun Yi and Du Yannian couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately went outside the hall to greet them, and the others in the hall also greeted them outside.

Shangguan Annai is the father of the queen, a dignified prince, a noble status, and a general of the chariot and cavalry of the dynasty, among the guests tonight, there is really no person who can stand side by side. If it is an ordinary scholar, you can still put on a high posture, but here, you are not an official, or you are born in a family of eunuchs, who dares to pretend to be high and not abide by the etiquette of dignity and humility?

Shangguan An was not a modest person from Corporal Lixian, he glanced at the people who were waiting outside the hall, and saw that there were no people who needed special respect, so he bowed his head to everyone, and then went straight to the main hall.

Gongsun Yi and Du Yannian looked at each other and smiled bitterly - this general is really not pretending.

Shangguan An can be rude, but outsiders can't, but Shangguan An has already entered the hall, and he can't stay in the hall for a long time, so he can only bow for a long time and say to everyone: "All the guests have arrived, all the gentlemen, please come to the table." After speaking, he also went directly to the court, came to Shangguan An's side, and led him into the guest of honor.

What outsiders Ding has always done is to flatter people, and it is not all about the skin elephant to be able to envelop the eldest princess of Hubei - how can a noble person be a rare beauty? - The feast was very well prepared. Not to mention the delicacies, the singing and dancing in the hall, patting (Note 1), stacking cases, and jumping pills and flying swords (Note 2) ...... The arrangement is also very good.

Du Yannian even jokingly said to Gongsun Yi: "The night banquet arrangement, you should be used to it." ”

Gongsun Yi also replied with a smile: "The servant will transfer the king's will to the general's family." ”

The general has a long history, and his rank is no more than a thousand stones, but at this time, he is already the highest official position among the guests, except for Shangguan An. Therefore, on the right hand side of Gongsun Yi's seat is Shangguan An. Although it is one person, one case, one seat, however, there are many guests tonight, and the seats are not far apart.

Du Yannian had a conversation with Gongsun Yi, although it was not eye-catching, but Shangguan An must have heard it. Therefore, after being reminded by the maidservant, Gongsun Yi turned his head and saw Shangguan An signaling to the past.

Gongsun Yi was inconvenient to refuse, so he asked the maidservant to fill her copper ear cup with wine, and then walked to Shangguan An's desk side with the cup.

"General Che Cavalry ......" Gongsun Yi opened his mouth and put on a toasting gesture, but unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he was held down by Shangguan An with one hand, and he could only put his wine glass on the case, with a helpless and puzzled look on his face.

"Something is wrong with the general?" Gongsun Yi's tone was very surprised.

Shangguan An let go of his wrist and said with a smile: "Changshi can know that King Yan has written to the Son of Heaven." ”

Gongsun Yi shook his head very calmly: "I don't know." ”

Shangguan An glanced at Du Yannian, who was staring at the performance in the hall, and then looked at Gongsun Yi with a smile, but Gongsun Yi always had a puzzled look.

After a while, Shangguan An waved his hand, didn't ask again, and explained directly: "King Yan wrote the book, not for anything else, but out of sisterly friendship, to ask for the title of knight for Ding Jun." ”

Gongsun Yi was surprised.

Du Yannian didn't turn his head, but he also heard Shangguan An's words, and he was very surprised in his heart.

- King Yan asked for a seal for Ding outsiders?

Gongsun Yi and Du Yannian's first thought after being surprised was exactly the same - could it be that something happened to the queen that she needed the Shangguan family to please the eldest princess of Eyi so much?

However, this thought disappeared in an instant-what could happen to the queen now that she had almost closed herself in the Jiaofang Palace?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yi and Du Yannian were both vigilant in their hearts.

- There is definitely something wrong with this book.

Even if they don't understand the eldest princess's secrets, Gongsun Yi and Du Yannian can think of it just by looking at what happened before and after-the eldest princess of Eyi is not very determined to knight Ding Wairen.

β€”β€”Yan is a big country, and King Yan is also known for his prestige in Yan Kingdom, so King Yan's opinion, even Huo Guang, does not dare to take it lightly. However, how could King Yan easily go to the book for such a trivial matter?

Of course, in the eyes of the two, the most ridiculous thing is Shangguan An's rhetoric - "sisterhood"?!

β€”β€”Liu Dan was in the country at a young age, how deep can he have a friendship with his half-sister?

- King Yan and King Guangling are compatriots of the same mother, and they don't see how close they are to each other, let alone the eldest princess of Eyi who has not met for decades?

- Moreover, a few years ago, the Shangguan family wanted to give Ding Wairen a marquis, but Huo Guang sternly refused, at that time, why didn't you see King Yan's support?

Gongsun Yi and Du Yannian both felt that something was wrong, but if they really wanted to say what was wrong, neither of them could say anything, so they didn't say anything, just kept silent.

Shangguan An didn't care about the attitude of the two, as if joking, he said to Gongsun Yi: "King Yan speaks, and the general will also take a step!" After all, the eldest princess raised His Majesty together, and she was the only surviving daughter of the first emperor. ”

Gongsun Yi could only answer dryly: "The widow will forward this to the general tomorrow." ”

Shangguan An seemed to be waiting for him to say this, and when he finished speaking, he smiled and waved his hand to signal Ding Wairen, who was sitting on the other side of the lacquer case, to toast Gongsun Yi.

When Gongsun Yu received the wine from Ding Wairen, Shangguan An happily let him leave.

For a while, Gongsun Yi and Du Yannian were confused.
