Chapter 606: Pang Tong's pretending behavior
After watching Liu Hua's performance, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying also finished eating and drinking, and they were also ready to leave Luoyang Tower.
"Husband, where are we going next? I just heard that tomorrow is the birthday of Emperor Shenwu, and tomorrow may be very lively. Huang Yueying said with a smile.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "We are also tired today, so it is better to go back and rest first." How about comprehending the prosperity of Luoyang tomorrow? ”
Zhuge Liang communicated with Huang Yueying in a consultative tone, which is rare in this era. Huang Yueying naturally has no problem, and she doesn't want Zhuge Liang to be too tired.
The two walked hand in hand to the inn where they were staying, and they could only return the same way, otherwise they would get lost in Luoyang.
And in Cui Jun's house, the drunk Pang Tong really slept so much.
Cui Jun suddenly snatched the door from outside the room, shook Pang Tong, and said, "Shiyuan, wake up quickly." We're going to go to the military aircraft department on an errand. ”
Pang Tong rubbed his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhou Ping, I haven't woken up from this hangover, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
"Shi Yuan, today you went to the military aircraft office on your first day on an errand, and now it's noon. Fortunately, I've already taken a half-day vacation for you. If you don't go, I'm afraid the three military ministers will be angry. In the future, you will wear small shoes. Cui Jun said anxiously.
Pang Tong was taken aback, he didn't expect that he had overslept on the first day of work, got up in a panic, and kept looking for his clothes.
Cui Jun looked at Pang Tong, who was hurriedly dressing, and shook his head, this product is really unreliable, but fortunately, he has made a good arrangement.
After Pang Tong got dressed, his mind also returned to calm, and he smiled at Cui Jun: "Zhou Ping, thank you." Otherwise, I'll be in trouble. ”
"Okay, no more wasted time. Let's go to the military aircraft department. A little later, you're in trouble. Cui Jun walked in front and led the way.
The two hurriedly dared to go to the palace, and since Pang Tong was new, the palace guards wanted to conduct various inspections on him. Moreover, Pang Tong's appearance is not like a good class, and the guards dare not take it lightly.
But Cui Jun didn't need to, he only needed to show a token to pass.
Pang Tong said a little depressedly: "Where is your token?" Why are you the same person from the Military Aircraft Department, but you don't have me? ”
"Shi Yuan, this token is unique to the Military Aircraft Department, and it can only be issued by the Minister of Military Aircraft in person after reporting to the Military Aircraft Department first. After you report to work, you will be able to receive this warrant. Cui Jun explained.
Pang Tong was relieved when he knew the reason, after all, this was the rule of the imperial court.
After layers of inspection, Pang Tong and Cui Jun finally came to the military aircraft.
Pang Tong didn't expect that as the most powerful department of the Shenwu Imperial Court, the Military Aircraft Department was actually only a very small and humble place, which was not what Pang Tong thought before.
Cui Jun knew what Pang Tong was thinking, and said: "Shiyuan, although this military aircraft department looks small, it is full of organs. And the most critical point is that next to it is His Majesty's study to deal with court affairs. Any urgent matter that has been prepared by the Military Aircraft Department can be quickly handed over to His Majesty. This position was set by His Majesty himself. ”
"I see." Pang Tong nodded and walked in.
And the inside of the Military Aircraft Department was already full of people, and the three military aircraft ministers and many assistant military aircraft were waiting for Pang Tong, and their faces were not so good-looking. Especially Huang Zhong, his old face today has been lost by Pang Tong, and his face is almost black into charcoal.
Cui Jun knew it was broken as soon as he saw this posture.
Pang Tong's heart tightened, and he knew that he had provoked the anger of the public, and his brain was full of efforts to find a way to get out.
In a flash of inspiration, Pang Tong knew what to do.
"Pang Shiyuan, the commander of Jingzhou, met with the general and the two adults, and met your colleagues." Pang Tong respectfully saluted everyone.
"Why is it so long overdue today?" Huang Zhong asked.
This can only be asked by him first, after all, Liu Yu arranged Pang Tong for him, so he has to protect Pang Tong and minimize the loss.
"The lower official is guilty of a capital offense. Yesterday I was summoned by His Majesty Longen, the general. In order to catch the wind for the lower officials, several colleagues specially gathered in Luoyang Building for a while. Xia Guan can serve His Majesty, and he is very excited for a while, and in a high mood, he drinks a few more glasses. It's a pity that Xia Guan has never drunk a drop of alcohol, and he drank too much all of a sudden. The lower officer pleaded with the general and the two adults to punish him. Pang Tong pretended to be pitiful and said.
Huang Zhong's face became much better-looking, thinking that it was inevitable that the young man would suddenly receive the emperor's favor and be excited, and he could also understand this kind of thing.
The three ministers of military aircraft respected Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong couldn't make it too obvious, and asked tentatively: "Gongtai, Gonghe, what do you think?" ”
What else can you see? Chen Gong and Fu Zhi both knew that Pang Tong was directly responsible for Huang Zhong, and to rectify Pang Tong at this time was not to slap Huang Zhong in the face.
"It's okay, just pay attention to it later." He said softly.
Chen Gong also smiled: "There must be no next time." After all, the Military Aircraft Department is busy, so you should be warned. ”
Huang Zhong took advantage of this step to get off the stage and reprimanded Pang Tong: "Since this is the case, I will spare you this time." You sit down in this position. If this is the case next time, you will get out of the military aircraft department for General Ben! ”
Pang Tong said gratefully: "The lower officials follow the teachings of the general and the two adults. ”
What Pang Tong thought of just now was to retreat as advance, he didn't have to be too strong, as long as he lowered his position, then with the face of the great general Huang Zhong, no one wanted to embarrass him.
Today, the Military Aircraft Department is so crowded, mainly because there are two things, one of which is to let everyone in the Military Aircraft Department know Pang Tong. The second thing is about Liu Yu's birthday tomorrow.
Liu Yu doesn't care about his birthday, he doesn't want to celebrate his birthday or anything, after all, when he is in this position, celebrating his birthday is a waste of money and food, so Liu Yu has never had the habit of celebrating his birthday.
It's just that now Yanzhou can't be attacked for a long time, and the soldiers are tired, and they need a happy event to boost their morale. At the insistence of Huang Zhong and others, Liu Yu agreed to take care of his birthday affairs greatly.
"Tomorrow is Your Majesty's birthday. Although His Majesty does not care too much about this matter, he is not willing to be extravagant. Your Majesty works hard for the country, and we as courtiers also have to talk about our hearts. Our military aircraft department can't let others compare. Chen Gong said.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm ready. Except for Pang Tong, everyone else responded.
Pang Tong was dumbfounded, he had only been in Luoyang for two days, and he was going to give Liu Yu a gift tomorrow, he didn't know before, and now he has nothing to prepare.
The efficiency of the military aircraft department is fast, the three military aircraft ministers arranged all the things, and the assistant military aircraft immediately began to work, and after completing the processing in the fastest and most secure way, a small eunuch came to collect it and sent it to Liu Yu for instructions. After Liu Yu's instructions were printed, the three ministers of the Military Aircraft Department immediately used the seals and then sent them to the departments directly in charge.
For the first time, Pang Tong felt the efficiency of the Military Aircraft Department, and it seemed that he had come to the right place.
After all the official duties were handled, the three military aircraft ministers went to report to Liu Yu. The others began to rest briefly at the military plane, and eunuchs and palace maids brought them tea and snacks.
An assistant military machine below the frustrated professor, Jizhou Guo Mao smiled at the others: "Everyone, tomorrow is Your Majesty's birthday, I don't know if you can prepare the gifts?" ”
"Brother Hongfeng, looking at your expression, it seems that you have prepared a good gift for Your Majesty." Another assistant military aircraft laughed.
"I just got a rare treasure by chance, and I just happened to dedicate it to Your Majesty." Guo Mao said very smugly.
"Congratulations to Brother Guo." The others who were also Hebei scholars said with smiles on their faces.
Sima Yi shook his head secretly, these Hebei scholars just like to show off, isn't it just a treasure, it is estimated that His Majesty will not care too much. Even though he himself prepared a little gift, it was still worth a lot of money.
Pang Tong said in Cui Jun's ear: "Zhou Ping, what gifts have you prepared?" ”
"Shiyuan, I have a Spring and Autumn fragment, and I am going to congratulate Your Majesty." Cui Jun said honestly.
Pang Tong knew the Spring and Autumn fragment in Cui Jun's hand, and said in surprise: "That's the existence of your life, I wanted to borrow it before, but you didn't want to." ”
"I don't have anything to give, and that's the only one I can handle." Cui Jun's face was a little ugly.
Pang Tong could find something from Cui Jun's face, it seems that there is still a lot of competition in this military aircraft department. In order to show their faces in front of Liu Yu, everyone did their best.
"I don't know what gift this new colleague has prepared for Your Majesty." Guo Mao suddenly asked Pang Tong. The others also looked at Pang Tong with interest.
Pang Tong is clever, this person's eyes are wrong. Pang Tong's eyes rolled, and he knew why. He has just joined the Military Aircraft Department today, and he is still under the command of the general with the highest prestige among the ministers of military aircraft, which has aroused these narrow-minded jealousies.
"The so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, Your Majesty has never advocated extravagance, how can we be courtiers and contradict Your Majesty's teachings. From the point of view below, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not like it if you do this. Pang Tong didn't answer the question, he pretended to be like a saint with supremacy of morality. To put it mildly, it's pretending.
His pretending to be coercive caused dissatisfaction among the Hebei forces of the Military Aircraft Department headed by Guo Mao.
"Our courtiers are loyal to Your Majesty, and it is rare that we can talk to Your Majesty once. Your Majesty has paid so much for the country and the people, and all the civil and military officials are preparing gifts to give to Your Majesty. According to what the foot said, the civil and military officials are all doing the wrong thing, and only the step is correct. Guo Mao was immediately angry.
This sentence is too heart-wrenching, and it suddenly pushed Pang Tong to the opposite side of the civil and military officials, if Pang Tong does not answer well, then he will have a very hard time in the future. How could Pang Tong not understand this, he has now developed murderous intentions towards Guo in front of him, and it is this kind of person who kills people while talking and laughing.
"Brother Tai may have misunderstood Shi Yuan's meaning." Cui Jun hurriedly cleared the siege.
"Cui Zhouping, it's not you who the official is asking now, so you don't need to talk too much!" Guo Mao scolded. The tone is very much like a superior scolding a subordinate.
Chen Gong's subordinates and Fu Zhi's subordinates did not get along well with each other at the military plane.
Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others were immediately unhappy. Shi Tao, who had a fiery personality, stood up and scolded: "Guo Mao, you dare to be so rude!" You have to say a reason today, I, Shi Guangyuan, will definitely not rest with you! ”
Meng Jian hurriedly stopped Shi Tao, although he was also very angry, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Sima Yi walked up to Guo Mao and said lightly, "Brother Hongfeng, please pay attention to the wording. Otherwise, let the three adults know, and you won't have to stay at the military plane. Please don't make a mistake in the next kind of persuasion. ”
Sima Yi is threatening Guo Mao, as long as Guo Mao does not apologize for the money, he will make a big deal about it.
"I lost my words just now, please don't blame it." Sima Yi's face, Guo Mao still has to give, Sima Yi is quite valued by the three ministers of military aircraft in the military aircraft department, and there are also rumors that His Majesty is also very optimistic about Sima Yi and wants to train Sima Yi to become the future minister of military aircraft. For such an existence, Guo Mao can't be offended.
Seeing Guo Mao apologize, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and Cui Juncai retreated angrily.
"It's just that the huge man hasn't answered the question below." Guo Mao is still not ready to let Pang Tong go, after all, there is only Pang Tong under the command of the general Huang Zhong now, and Pang Tong will have many more opportunities to be promoted than them, if he doesn't attack Pang Tong now, he will have no chance in the future.
Pang Tong's eyes narrowed, this guy is really annoying.
"I wonder if I have any objections to His Majesty's birthday? Or are you shy in your pocket, pretending to be high? Guo Mao is both digging and satirizing.
Pang Tong smiled: "I have prepared a congratulatory gift in the next, I'm afraid the gift under the foot can't be compared with the next!" ”
Cui Jun secretly screamed that it was not good, Pang Tong's radical personality was sick again, he came to Luoyang alone, it has only been two days, where to prepare any gifts!
"Your Excellency is so confident?" Guo Mao said playfully, his treasure has been passed down from generation to generation in the family, and it is just right to take it out and give it to Liu Yu.
"When the time comes, you will know by looking at His Majesty's attitude." Pang Tong began to pretend.
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you next. I will divide the high and low with the treasures that you and I have dedicated to Your Majesty. If you lose, you will make a disciple salute when you see me! Guo Mao sneered.
Discipleship? Everyone took a breath. Does this Guo Mao want to make this matter so big?
Pang Tong's eyes showed a cold light, and then he smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, since you have to make a bet." I will accompany you below. ”
Then you are all witnesses. lest someone will be repaid when they get it. Guo Mao said arrogantly.
The others didn't answer, they wouldn't mix this kind of thing, but Guo Mao acquiesced to them.
Pang Tong sneered: "My credit has always been good. Not like someone. ”
Guo Mao knew that Pang Tong was sarcastic about himself, sneered, and sat back in his place.
Pang Tong also returned to his position with a smile, and Cui Jun next to him said anxiously: "Shiyuan, how can you ......?"
Pang Tong comforted: "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans!" ”
When Cui Jun heard this, his heart stabilized, and he thought that Pang Tong was confident.
Sima Yi looked at Pang Tong with straight eyes, not knowing what kind of medicine Pang Tong was selling in his gourd.
"It seems that this Pang Shiyuan is very fun, and he won't be lonely in the future." Sima Yi laughed to himself.
Pang Tong's heart was broken, pretending to be forced to make a big deal, how would it end now.
