Chapter 227: Birthday Banquet

There are basically no military attaches who participated in Yang Xian's banquet, and there are very few officials in the military department, which is also the biggest difference between Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong.

The reason is also simple, because Yang Xian knows that his background is not going to play with the Huaixi nobles, not to mention that he was mixed with Liu Bowen in his early years, and he is destined to be rejected by the Huaixi nobles, since he has no chance, then he will not touch it at all.

As for Hu Weiyong, it's different, he was born in Huaixi, and he is with Li Shanchang, so he naturally has a connection with the generals, so he is a civil and military officer, of course, it's actually a bit too much.

Whether it is Yang Xian or the current Hu Weiyong, their harvest is just to win over, in the final analysis, they are just courtiers, and they have no right to kill other officials, they just form an alliance of interests with each other.

Especially the officials above the third grade, they are all people who have heads and faces and can see the emperor directly, how can they surrender to their colleagues, but once the interests are deeply involved, they will be involuntary at that time.

During the banquet, Zhu Biao talked with them, and the daily needs of the resettlement of the relocated people will still be deployed from the Ministry of Household Work next year, so Zhu Biao has to explain some things to them as soon as possible.

Yang Xian also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and after signaling to the prince, he went outside to greet the guests, and Zhu Biao didn't care, anyway, he was useless here.

After a while, he heard a commotion at the door, and Zhu Biao's attention was also attracted, and before he could ask someone to go out to ask, Yang Xian led Hu Weiyong and others in, and the rest of them all got up to greet him.

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Weiyong who walked in and was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that he shouldn't come to Yang Xian's birthday banquet, I don't know if he had planned to come, or if he heard that the prince was coming and came with him, the later people saluted Zhu Biao first, and Zhu Biao nodded and asked them to get up.

Hu Weiyong sat beside Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet His Highness here, Yang Xiang's face is really big." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Yang Xian has done a good job for the country, and he belongs to the East Palace, so it happens that the palace is rarely free, so I will come and have a drink." ”

Hu Weiyong echoed a few words, he really didn't expect Zhu Biao to come in person, but it just so happened that he came here to make Yang Xian more rampant, and His Royal Highness could be said to add fuel to the fire.

Yang Xian also sat down and said, "Brother Hu also has a lot of official duties, so it's really a shame to be able to deliberately spare time." ”

Since Hu Weiyong came, he was naturally polite, the two of them were extraordinary and not like political enemies, but like old friends who had known each other for many years, and they did not tear each other down, and praised each other in front of Zhu Biao.

Hu Weiyong also quipped: "Yang Xiang's birthday, civil and military gatherings, and His Royal Highness celebrates, but I'm afraid I only have a glass of turbid wine." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Biao smiled and said: "I remember that Hu Shenzheng's birthday should be next month, and I am afraid that the palace will not be in the capital at that time, otherwise I will definitely come to drink a glass of wine." ”

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong stood up and saluted Zhu Biao with a glass of wine: "With His Royal Highness's words, the minister will be content." ”

Yang Xian also said: "Your Highness's wisdom and generosity is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty, and it is also the blessing of my courtiers, you should join me in toasting Your Highness." ”

Everyone in the room stood up to toast Zhu Biao, they all went down in one gulp, Zhu Biao took a sip with a smile, and then the atmosphere became lively, Zhu Biao didn't say more, it was not a gentleman's doing, not to mention that this was Yang Xian's last birthday.

Hu Weiyong is the same, on the surface, it is not true, most of the people in the room are Yang Xian's people, and everyone is embarrassed when they talk deeply, so they simply come to Zhu Biao's side and talk.

Zhu Biao naturally did not refuse, Hu Weiyong had not yet performed on stage, and it was naturally very early before the curtain ended, and the two of them still had several years to work together.

Hu Weiyong's current thinking is naturally to please His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he is dissatisfied with the suppression of the saint among the nobles of Huaixi, most of them are loyal, and Hu Weiyong is naturally one of them.

Yang Xian was talking to Hubu Shangshu at this time, and he had a toothache when he saw Hu Weiyong's eagerness to talk to Zhu Biao, and he seriously suspected that Hu Weiyong, a dog thing, had come with him when he heard that His Highness had come down, just to disgust him.

With the conversation, the smile on Zhu Biao's face became a lot more sincere, Hu Weiyong is a person with real skills, especially Hu Weiyong, who has not yet achieved his ambition, and many of his ideas on governing the country and the people coincide with Zhu Biao.

This reminded him of Yang Xian when he first went to Yangzhou, and when he didn't get his ambition, he was a modest and respectful talent for governing the country and the country, but unfortunately the power is charming, and every wrong step in the future is wrong.

In fact, it's not that it can't be changed, but it's so difficult to cure a person's character, just like Lan Yu, who can't change it without a few years of hard work and fierce medicine, and it's not certain whether he can retain his talent after changing.

Yang Xian on the other side hastily ended the conversation with the others, walked to Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong to join the conversation, I have to say that it is really comfortable to discuss problems with two smart people, if only it could be brought back to Fengyang.

Hubu Shangshu frowned and drank a glass of wine, he was very dissatisfied with Yang Xian's performance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, and it is understandable that Hu Weiyong wants to pull in the relationship, as for inserting it in such a hurry?

So many people present came here to give you face, and His Royal Highness didn't pester you to talk, how could you just leave others alone, it really seems that your mind is not generous enough.

Zhu Biao also noticed the expression of Hubu Shangshu, this is Yang Xian's shortcoming, the same as Liu Bowen's evaluation, he has ability, but his stomach is not enough.

Zhu Biao felt that he was almost drunk, so he got up and said goodbye, everyone got up and sent to the door, Zhu Biao said before getting into the car: "The palace just came directly from my father's side, and the congratulatory gift has not had time to be taken, and someone will send it over after a while." ”

Yang Xian hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Highness can come in person to make the ministers grateful, where do you dare to accept gifts, please Your Highness don't be polite to the ministers." ”

Zhu Biao didn't speak, smiled and said goodbye to everyone, everyone bowed to see each other, Liu Jin helped him to the frame, and then returned to the palace in the midst of heavy guards.

Yang Xian was complacent at this time, Hu Weiyong raised his head and smiled, and then left, Yang Xian let him go after two stays, and the rest walked back to Yang's mansion with laughter.

Zhu Biao in the carriage exhaled, the smile on his face slowly converged, leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, the situation in the DPRK and China was surging, and the officials above the third rank were afraid that they themselves did not know where their positions were, and they were all left and right.

Today's events will undoubtedly put great pressure on Huaixi Xungui, after all, if even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on Yang Xian's side, their group of people will be really dangerous, and Hu Weiyong, who has a good conversation with the Prince, will be eye-catching.

It's time for them to break out, and then Zhu Yuanzhang can see clearly how much power the Huaixi nobles have, how many of those civil servants are actually their people, and what is the proportion of low-level officials.
