The next day, the official ships on the Qingluo River had an exclusive wharf, and the officials of the Yuezhou Mansion blocked the wharf very early, and cleaned the street and sprinkled water to prohibit idle people from coming and going.

At the same time, the bureaucrats and nobles of Yuezhou Mansion are also all there, and it seems that they are waiting for some important person.

"My lord, everything has been arranged, and I guarantee that Lord Zhuge will feel at home!" After a middle-aged staff member whispered in Zong Mingdan's ear, Zong Mingdan immediately walked into Gongsun Qi's ear and said.

Hearing this, Gongsun Qi nodded and said, "Well, yes, remember that you must not go on any errands!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower official guarantees that it will be absolutely foolproof!" Zong Mingdan smiled, with a confident expression on his face.

Zong Mingdan is the prefect of Yuezhou, don't look at his name is a little funny, but he is very deep in the city and his methods are ruthless and vicious, otherwise how can he sit firmly in the position of the prefect of Yuezhou!

On the other side, Nan Tianxin glanced at Gongsun Qi and Zong Mingdan, and his eyes were full of disdain. Because the discord between the two is not only because of the status of bureaucrats and nobles, but also because of the difference in camps.

Gongsun Qi and Zong Mingdan belong to the camp of the four princes, while Nan Tianxin supports the second prince. As for the important person who was greeted by everyone this time, it was Zhuge Qinghong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhuge Qinghong was the disciple of the Four Princes.

Although Zhuge Qinghong is a subordinate of the fourth prince, he is a member of the imperial court after all, and Yu Li Nan Tianxin is also coming to greet him.

Thursday Wei on the side looked around, and then said with a smile: "Master Hou's pomp is really big enough!" ”

Nan Tianxin also smiled and returned: "The court officials should be like this!" ”

Although Nan Tianxin said affirmative words, the contempt on his face was also undisguised.

This time, the officials and nobles of the Yuezhou Mansion can be said to be all together, but they are clearly divided into two groups, and the bureaucrats and nobles stand on one side, and no one has crossed over. And even among the two major groups, there are faintly several small circles.

This is because Yuezhou is an important place of finance and taxation, a hub of commerce and transportation, and all the political forces in the DPRK and China want to intervene here, so the political forces in it are extremely complicated. However, because Gongsun Qi and Nan Tianxin stood in line, the second prince and the fourth prince got the largest piece of cake.

Among these many forces, Gongsun Qi and Zong Mingdan, as the chief political officials, controlled the power of the government, but Nan Tianxin united with the commander of Yuezhou Wei and fought against him without falling behind. As for the other officials, they also have their own backstage, because there are no backstage people, but they can't be officials in this anointed place!

After a while, a luxurious fleet appeared on the river, although Zhuge Qinghong was a member of the imperial court, but he did not dare to let the noble officials of Yuezhou wait for a long time. After all, it is polite for everyone to greet him, but if he is late, he will be a little contemptuous.

After the fleet docked, Gongsun Qi immediately greeted him, "Lord Zhuge , the lower officials have lost the distance to welcome and hope that the Lord will atone for his sins!" ”

"Haha......"

Zhuge Qinghong smiled and stroked his snow-white beard, "Lord Gongsun is serious, the old man is just going back to his hometown this time, so he shouldn't be so laborious!" ”

And Gongsun Qi returned: "Lord Zhuge is polite, Lord Zhuge has worked hard for the country day and night, and I and other juniors should talk about filial piety when I return to my hometown this time!" ”

"Yes! Lord Zhuge is the pride of my Yuezhou, and the people of my Yuezhou heard that Lord Zhuge returned to his hometown, so they spontaneously came to greet him, which is the people's heart! ”

"Lord Zhuge is really a model for my generation, but this is the kindness of the people of Yuezhou! Please don't shirk it! ”

Later, several officials stepped forward and said a set of polite words that were both scenes and formulas, deducing a drama of unity and friendship among imperial officials and their dedication to the people.

Of course, Nan Tianxin also stepped forward to greet a few words, after all, do a full set of dramas, no matter how incompatible they are in private, but the etiquette on the scene must be complete.

And Zhuge Qinghong is also an old fox, pulling Nan Tianxin and chatting enthusiastically, as if he had not seen a close friend for a long time. In the end, Nan Tianxin was a little embarrassed, because he just wanted to leave after completing the articles on the scene, but Zhuge Qinghong was so enthusiastic that he couldn't get out of it at all.

And in the following banquet, Zhuge Qinghong often expressed his loyalty to the emperor, told the emperor's great achievements, and attracted all the officials and nobles to respond for a while, in this case, who dares to leave the table halfway! As for why Zhuge Qinghong dragged the officials of Yuezhou on the banquet, it is unknown.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhuge Qinghong arched his hand and looked at the Beijing master from afar, "The old man has been favored by the emperor, and he has been temporarily appointed as a waiter in the summer rite department, and he should have done his best to repay the emperor's kindness, but the emperor sympathized with the old man and knew that the old man had not returned to his hometown for a long time, and he specially allowed me to return to my hometown and province, which is really the emperor's grace!" ”

When Gongsun Qi heard this, he also put on a look of being a soldier who died for the king, he first bowed to the Jingshi, and then said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "What Lord Zhuge said is extremely true!" It is precisely because of this benevolent monarch that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and it is the glory of our courtiers to follow Your Majesty and be loyal! ”

"What Lord Gongsun said is extremely true!"

"I am the king of benevolence and virtue in this dynasty, and it is really a great blessing for my dynasty!"

Listening to those bureaucratic sour words, Nan Tianxin's eyes twitched unconsciously, how could these people say such disgusting words! He just listened and wanted to throw up!

And Zong Mingdan glanced at Nan Tianxin, and deliberately leaned up and said, "What do you think of our heartfelt words, Lord Hou?" ”

Nan Tianxin resisted the urge to punch this go, and his face showed an incomparable sense of reverence, "This is the emperor's favor, and his loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and it is not something that you and other Shu clans can speculate!" ”

Although Nan Tianxin is extremely disdainful of saying this kind of scene, if he wants to mix in the officialdom, some things will be said no matter how disgusting he is, so Nan Tianxin's basic acting skills are still online.

Then the two looked at each other, and a trace of sparks flashed in the air,

Taking this opportunity, Nan Tianxin was like saying goodbye, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zhuge Qinghong.

I saw Zhuge Qinghong look at Nan Tianxin and said: "Lord Hou has worked hard and made great achievements, and his contribution to the imperial court is naturally seen by His Majesty." When the old man went out of Beijing, His Majesty summoned the old man to talk in detail, and there were many mentions of Hou Ye, especially Hou Ye's various achievements! ”

When Nan Tianxin heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted in the direction of Jingshi, "The minister bows to Your Majesty, but it is just some small merits to repay Your Majesty's concern, and the minister should die to repay the emperor's kindness!" ”

"Master Hou is really a pillar of the country!"

"It is a great blessing to have such a good vassal country!"

The other officials immediately complimented, and Nan Tianxin responded one by one.

Although Nan Tianxin was full of smiles on the surface, he had already scolded these bureaucrats eight hundred times in his heart! Because he has already sensed that something is wrong, Zhuge Qinghong is a person who is proud and arrogant, and he is not a person who loves to be lively, but why is it so abnormal today, what is his intention to drag the officials and nobles of Yuezhou here!

But under the welcome of Gongsun Qi and Zong Mingdan, he couldn't get away at all!

So he took advantage of the gap to whisper a few words in Zhou Wei's ear, and Zhou Wei immediately quietly exited the banquet hall.

After Thursday Wei withdrew, the banquet continued, and in order to entertain Zhuge Qinghong Gongsun Qi, he made a lot of efforts, and several famous prostitutes in Yuezhou City were invited by him. And these famous prostitutes performed on stage one by one, and they also pushed the wine banquet to a climax again and again!

As for those officials and nobles, looking at these beautiful beauties, they also revealed the statues of Zhuge one by one, and some of them were unbearable and even drooled.

And Zhuge Qinghong, who is at the top, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and calmly enjoyed the wonderful singing and dancing.

After all the famous prostitutes and concubines performed, it was the turn of the final finale, which was the solo dance of Yu Bingrou, the first beauty in Yuezhou!

With Yu Bingrou coming to the stage, the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax again, and Gongsun Qi looked at Zhuge Qinghong with his afterglow, and saw Zhuge Qinghong looking very interested.

So he leaned over and whispered, "Lord Zhuge How is this woman?" ”

And Zhuge Qinghong nodded with an appreciative look, "Stunning beauty!" It's a rare sight! ”

"How about the lower official invite this beauty to your house for a detailed discussion that night?" Gongsun Qi whispered a little temptation.

But Zhuge Qinghong shook his head and laughed: "The old man is approaching his twilight years, so don't delay this beautiful woman!" ”

After the song, the audience burst into warm applause, and with the end of this last dance, the banquet was dispersed.

On the way back, Nan Tianxin's face was a little gloomy, he really couldn't understand what Zhuge Qinghong was doing! Is it because the suspicious array has other plans, or is it simply confusing everyone!

After Nan Tianxin returned home, Zhou Siwei also arrived quickly, but judging from Zhou Wei's face, he probably didn't bring good news.

"How is Brother Siwei? Did something happen? Nantian immediately asked.

And after taking a sip of tea, Zhou Wei said a little angrily: "Master Hou, today is really unlucky!" I let those bastards fuck me! ”

"Oh! What did they do? ”

After Nan Tianxin asked Zhou Wei, he said: "It's such a Hou Ye! I will closely monitor the people brought by Zhuge Qinghong according to your orders, and those rabbit cubs are really restless! They split up into groups to probe around, hook up with people everywhere, and mysteriously don't know what to say! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Siwei couldn't help but smile bitterly, "But when I checked what they said, I realized that the girl in the Qinglou they said was the most beautiful, the wine in that place was the cheapest, and the adult's concubine was the most, etc.!" ”

"Haha...... Haha......"

And Nan Tianxin couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, "Zhuge Qinghong, this old fox, had long expected that we would spy on him, so he asked his subordinates to take us around in circles!" ”

Thursday Wei also sighed, "Alas! After a long day's work, you can get everything! What a fucking bad luck! ”
