"When is the bright moon? Ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is tonight? I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world? ”

With the sound, under the moonlight, but see a Confucian shirt and soft hat, elegant posture of the scholar holding a cup, standing on the boat, leisurely swinging to the round platform, at first glance, as if the Qinglian monk climbed out of the grave again, is floating on the water, such an appearance, really pull the wind, the noise in the four sides brushed the ground disappeared, everyone looked to the stage.

"Turn to Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye......"

The boat touched lightly on the edge of the round platform, and the man raised his glass to the stage, with big sleeves fluttering, step by step, really elegant, and when he stood in the middle of the stage, he turned his body around, Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that this person was the Huang Zhenhuang imperial envoy who stole the sheep.

Huang Yu's coquettish cup in his hand, eyebrows and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, all new science and technology scholars, with the emperor's grace and the Ministry of Rites, we will wait for tonight to accompany the wine with poetry and enjoy on Mochou Lake." On the occasion of the victory of the imperial army in the north and the frequent good news, we are gathered here, let us first congratulate "......, ouch, who will take something and throw it at me?" ”

Huang Zhen suddenly shouted, then covered his head with his hands, and Li Jinglong scolded angrily: "It's Lao Tzu and me!" ”

He still had a walnut in his hand, and scolded eagerly: "My country's grandfather also said that you are here from the courtyard of the singing and dancing family, you want to show the song and dance, what are you old horsemen running up to make noise?" Tonight's poetry reception is just to celebrate the new science and technology scholars, high-ranking officials have to do it, and horses have to ride, and there are so many reasons to talk about it! ”

As soon as Li Jinglong heard the frequent news from the north, he didn't fight in one place, just took a petal of fried walnuts, and threw it away. Fang Xiaoru's face sank, and he scolded: "Imperial Envoy Huang is a member of the imperial court, presiding over the poetry and wine festival tonight, and those present are either ministers or Jinshi of Xinke, doesn't Cao Guogong think that he is too rude to Meng Lang?" ”

Li Jinglong glanced at him coldly, and said in a flash: "Etiquette? What is a rite that can be eaten as a meal? Can it be worn as clothing? Or can you be a soldier? ”

Fang Xiaoru was furious and patted the case: "The etiquette is the foundation of the country." Governing the people in peace, Mo is good at etiquette, and the prosperity of etiquette is "governed by the public"; The etiquette is abolished, the crowd is chaotic, you are the prince of the country, so rude, what kind of system? ”

Li Jinglong was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful, listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years, Li Jinglong has been taught." ”

He didn't expect him to be willing to accept his own teaching so happily, and he was slightly stunned at first, "but when he saw a prince who was trained by himself to admit his mistakes, he was also a little happy", so he flicked his sleeves and said, "That's it!" Imperial Envoy Huang, please ......"

"Wait!"

Li Jinglong set up Erlang's legs, and had to hold his feet and neck" and said leisurely: "I, Li Jinglong, didn't know how to be rude and offended Lord Huang, here, I will accompany you Lord Huang." ”

Ahh......,...h

Huang Zhen stood on the stage, wanting to make a move, the wine was still full, raising his glass, and feeling that it was not like that, he was a little embarrassed.

Li Jinglong raised his voice and asked, "Mr. Xiaozhi, what is the position of the DPRK and the Central Committee now?" ”

Fang Xiaoru is now a doctor of literature, an official of the fifth grade, although he is the actual prime minister of the dynasty and has great power, but the official position has not yet reached the minister. Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the emperor's trust, Fang is now a doctor of literature, and he is a five-grade dynasty." ”

"Wow! Governing the people in peace, Mo is good at etiquette, the prosperity of etiquette, the rule of the people: the abolition of etiquette, the chaos of the public, I Li Jinglong has been taught. ”

Li Jinglong slapped the table, stared at him and sneered: "I, Li Jinglong, am the first product of the dynasty, and I am the prince of the country." The prince of my country came later than you, and you sat there in a big way, and I didn't see you, a five-grade official, getting up to greet you! This official is sitting, it's been so long, I don't see you, the five-grade official, come forward to greet you! Where is the etiquette? May I ask Dr. Fang, what kind of system is this? ”

The further Li Jinglong said, the louder his voice became, and later he was already full of voice: "Li Jinglong doesn't learn and has no skills, and I don't know if I remember whether it's right or not, if it's not, I also ask you Dr. Fang for advice." According to my Ming etiquette system, when officials meet, the difference in rank is more than four grades, the humble one bows, the venerable sits and accepts, and the kneeling white when there is something.

Dr. Fang, please lead by example and salute now! ”

Xu Huizu was annoyed, jumped up and said, "Li Jiujiang, don't mess around!" ”

"Nonsense?"

Li Jinglong's eyes were faintly fierce, and he said with a cruel smile: "Wei Guogong, the courtesy, the foundation of the country." This is the public of the country, why is it a nonsense? He glanced at Fang Xiaoru and said in a deep voice: "Fang Xiaoru, do you worship or not?" If you don't worship, it's a fart! From now on, don't keep saying anything to your father! ”

Everyone was watching, everyone was watching, Fang Xiaoru's face was red and white for a while, and he was embarrassed.

Although his official position is not high, he has always been valued by the emperor, as if he was the prime minister of the court, who does not fear him for seven points, and now even Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is not respectful to him? When he first arrived in Beijing, he still paid more attention to these subsections, and when he saw officials with higher rank than himself, he also knew how to avoid and salute sideways, and after a long time, he was accustomed to the flattery of others to him, and now he sat with the dukes and earls and the first and second rank officials with the fifth rank official, and he did not feel cramped at all, but took it for granted, and now Li Jinglong suddenly turned his face, making his face hot.

He just taught Li Jinglong that "where the rites are prosperous, the people are governed; The rite is abolished, and the crowd is chaotic", now, this ceremony, does he keep it?

Xu Huizu saw his face Li Jinglong pouted back, and glared at Xu Zengshou fiercely in anger, Xu Zengshou invited this goods, just to disgust people, Li Jinglong made this scene, but he didn't instigate it, and it was a bit unexpected for him to make this step, Xu Zengshou hurriedly pulled Li Jinglong's sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Jiujiang, don't ...... it", Li Jinglong shook his hand, and said: "Third brother, the etiquette is prosperous, and the people are governed; The ritual is wasted, and the crowd is chaotic, can you afford this sin? ”

"Uh......,..."

Xu Zengshou was also dumbfounded: "When did Li Jiujiang become such a donkey?" ”

At the beginning, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng used Li Jinglong to squeeze out the Xu family, and he was used willingly, but later these two abandoned the pawn to protect the handsome, "blew him Li Jinglong like a big snot, and Li Jinglong already hated it in his heart. He is already like this anyway, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he is afraid of offending Fang Xiaoru. His mentality at this time was "quite similar to that of King Ning when he was cornered, pretending to be crazy."

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the hierarchy was very strict, and even the officials and gentry had strict regulations on what clothes to wear, what hats to wear, and the length of the sleeves of their clothes.

Fang Xiaoru gritted his teeth, walked over with a red face, knelt down in front of Li Jinglong, and bowed four times" A voice came out of his throat: "Go down to the official filial piety, meet Cao Guogong." ”

Li Jinglong shook his robe, looked down at Fang Xiaoru at his feet and said, "Dr. Fang, do you have something to report?" ”

Fang Xiaoru gritted his teeth and said: "The lower official only came forward to meet him because he saw Lord Cao Guogong here" There is no matter of reporting. ”

"Oh!"

Li Jinglong nodded, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Get up, the government and the people will have fun today, go back to your seat to enjoy poetry and music, don't disturb the interest of my country's public and colleagues and friends in talking and laughing." ”

"Xie Guogong!"

Fang Xiaoru kowtowed again, and when he got up again, his face was already pale, and he returned to his seat and said: "Fang Mou occasionally feels unwell" Tonight's poetry and drinking party "I can't participate" Zhou Bureaucrats, farewell. ”

Xu Huizu hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Xiaozhi......"

Fang Xiaoru brushed his sleeves away, and what came back was just a breeze.

Xu Huizu stood dumbfounded for a moment, and then followed quickly, and Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took a look, "Busy and persuaded each other, as soon as the three of them left, Huang Zhen stood on the stage, and the coquettish words he prepared couldn't be expressed, so he hurriedly said something briefly, hurriedly ended his speech, and let the kabuki dancers of the Jiaofang Division come to the stage, and the poetry and drinking party began hastily.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun was very happy, after he arrived in Beijing, he had already learned about Li Jinglong's defeat and was abandoned by his civilian allies, and seeing Li Jinglong and Fang Xiaoru fighting each other at this moment strengthened his idea of plotting against Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong may be very incompetent militarily, but this does not mean that Li Jinglong is incompetent, or that the Li family is incapable.

If the Li family didn't have their own factions and subordinates and had enough power, how could Huang Zicheng have the ability to help him ascend to the throne and replace the Zhongshan Palace? Moreover, although Li Jinglong was squeezed out of the center of power, he was a general who had fought a few battles with the Yan army, and if the DPRK and China had any major military plans, they would still find him for reference......

The more the concubine thought about it, the more excited she became, but she didn't notice that Xu Huizu came back angrily and called Xu Zengshou away.

Xu Huizu caught up with Fang Xiaoru, but Fang Xiaoru is also a character with a personality like fire, if he is still a professor in Hanzhong Mansion, he may not think anything, but now he is like the prime minister of the country, under one person, above ten thousand people, who dares to be disrespectful in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? Guansheng has a long temper, and what was originally taken for granted is now a great humiliation inflicted on him by Li Jinglong in front of everyone.

Now he was tightly clasped by Li Jinglong's waste and asked him to bow to the first salute, Fang Xiaoru regarded it as a great shame, how could he still have the face to sit and drink calmly in front of his colleagues and his protégés. Although Xu Huizu caught up and apologized in a low voice, he still left in a bad mood.

Xu Huizu saw that the plan to reconcile the civil officials failed, and even after this incident, each other will be deeper, and Xu Huizu was so angry that one Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, he returned to the boat angrily, and called the third child to go with him with a calm face, Li Jinglong is very single today, Fang Xiaoru is a real power figure He has offended, are you still afraid of Boss Xu? You are the prince of the country, and I am also the prince of the country, everyone is unlucky, who is afraid of whom. So he followed with a big grin.

Huaiqing was worried that Xu Zengshou would be reprimanded by Xu Huizu who was enraged, and he was worried that Li Jinglong would have a donkey seizure and quarrel with Wei Guogong, so he also followed, and when Xia Xun's countermeasures against Li Jinglong were slightly outlined in his mind, and when he woke up, these people were all gone, and the other people on the boat were already staggered, and they were extremely lively.

The big guys always feel that they are an indispensable and important embellishment on the banquet, in fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, the least favorite thing is that they are present, as long as they are present, even if others are not holding a wine glass, always staring at his every move, to see if he has just finished a drink, to see if he is in the wine spirit, in order to find the best time to come forward to toast, but also have to pretend to sit there, who can still drink to the heart's content?

As soon as these two groups of them left, those petty officials and new science and technology scholars were greatly relieved, you raise a glass and I pour wine, you chant poems and I do it, it is really not easy and happy.

Meng Shilang's table of big names are gone, he simply made a table with a few jinshi, these jinshi are not ordinary people, the top three in the current department, the champion, the top eye, and tanhuā are all here.

Meng Fusheng twisted his beard and said: "This official was receiving the envoys of the country and the country behind the mountain at that time, and he didn't see you playing right in the palace. Afterwards, I read the record, hehe......, Hu Jing, your sentence "The minister is solid in the way of sages and benevolence, and always applies to His Majesty." I hope that Your Majesty will not take the words of the ministers as a detour, but add the intention and deeds, and its effect will be more than today. , is indeed the finishing touch, no wonder it is pointed out as the champion of today's department. ”

Hu Jing's face was pale, and he hurriedly held his glass and said: "How dare you be so praised by the boss in your later life, Lord Shilang, please drink." ”

On the side, Wang Gen was a little different when he heard it, because the name of the head of the current branch should have been him, all because he was not as good as Hu Jing and Zhou Zheng, and the emperor reversed the position of the two of them.

Meng Fusheng has been in the eunuch for many years, how old and spicy, he glimpsed it at a glance, and boasted: "Wang Gen, your sentence" The minister heard that the world is dominated by one person, and the king is based on one heart. If the heart of the master is oriented, he will practice it. , which is also wonderful, can be called a good sentence. ”

Wang Gen smiled faintly and arched his hand: "My lord has praised it falsely, compared to Hu Jingcai, he is still inferior to his later life, otherwise, why would he condescend to the eyes." ”

This person has a square temperament and is not good at talking, Meng Fusheng was a little displeased when he heard it, and Li Guan looked at his face, and hurriedly said: "Ah! The late life also heard that Lord Shirou was receiving the envoys of the vassal kingdom that day, so he was not present. uh"... The two seats next to them are the envoys of the country of Japan and the country behind the mountain? I heard in my later life that the people of other countries have long admired my Middle-earth culture, and have also studied my Middle-earth poetry and books, and tonight's poetry and wine event, seeing that they are only drinking, it is inevitable that the name is not true, why don't we know that the envoys of the two countries also wrote a poem to accompany the wine? ”

Meng Fusheng nodded happily, he had already toasted to the two tables just now, but the guests at each table were chanting poems, only the guests at the two tables were only drinking, which was inevitably incompatible with everyone, he was feeling a little cold to the foreign guests, and wanted to toast again, he was very pleased to hear this proposal, and praised: "Okay, good, Li Guanna, your proposal is very good." ”

Meng Fusheng raised his glass and walked to Shimazu Mitsuo and He Tianyang, and said with a smile: "Two noble envoys, tonight's poetry and wine event, with poetry and wine, with wine to help poetry, the two noble envoys only drink and do not sing, so how can it be done, hehe, why don't you ask the two of you to chant a poem each, how about it?" ”

Shimazu Mitsuo listened, the two black dots on his eyebrows moved, his hands pressed on the table, his eyes widened, and he said nervously: "Nani? ”

He Tianyang thought that the cup was too small, and was changing the big bowl to drink, and when he heard the poem, he also put the big bowl down, and said with a big tongue: "Ha...... What? ”
