Chapter 185: Feast
Daiguo Mansion, located in the southwest of the imperial city, adjacent to Xuanwu Tianjie, since the return of Ruan to Beijing, as a privy envoy, Liu Chengyou deliberately lowered the reward, this huge scale of the mansion to him, in return to the northwest. Even the plaque of the public mansion is inscribed by Liu Chengyou himself, and after practicing calligraphy for so long, Liu Chengyou's words can barely be handled.
Before sunset, a crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence in front of the Daiguo Mansion. Unlike most court officials, even if he is over the age of sixteen and his physical fitness is declining, he is still used to riding a horse instead of riding a sedan chair.
There was also a middle-aged man who was following Zhi Congruan, who was his son, the father of the virtuous concubine, and the reign of the dynasty, Zhe Deran, who was much stronger and stronger than his father, and had a denser beard.
Enter the mansion gate, pass the atrium, go to the main hall, sit down directly, pick up a cup of tea, only half of it, and pour it into your mouth, you can't care about the taste, it's cool. It can be seen that there are no too strict rules in this gate.
"Today's battle in front of the palace gate is really big, the Son of Heaven has descended, and hundreds of officials ......greet him" Looking at the old father, he got up again, and served him to untie his clothes, with a little sour in his tone.
"What, you're envious?" Fold from Nguyen asked.
Zhe Deyan did not hide his thoughts, and said: "A few days ago, I came to Tokyo, but there was no such big movement! ”
Although this son is not confused when he is old, he still can't help but scold when he listens to his words: "You erect, do you still want to be on the same page as Zhao, Shi, and Yao?" ”
Zhe Deyan honestly accepted it, and responded: "I don't dare!" ”
The servant brought the brewed herbal tea and gave it to the old father himself. Zhe Congruan almost drank it all in one gulp, glanced at him, and said, "Then you are still self-aware!" I'm ashamed of myself compared to those three! If it weren't for marrying the emperor, you and I, father and son, I'm afraid that they are still staying in Fuzhou now, maybe it will be the end of one person concocted by others! ”
"What do you think is the reason why Guanzhong Sanjiedu was so courteous to the Son of Heaven?" Glancing at Zhi De Ran, he showed a rare shrewdness in Ruan's eyes.
Zhi Deyan was slightly stunned and replied: "Isn't it because of the merit of breaking the Shu army?" ”
"This battle of Donghe Village, compared with the battle of Jifeng Mountain in the first year of Qianyou, the situation was not as dangerous as it was at that time, and the capture was smaller than at the beginning.......
As Ruan Zhi said, today's situation has already caused dissatisfaction among one person, and it has clearly been expressed, yes, it is my Han guard Ma Bujun who commanded Wang Jun.
After the triumph of the expedition, although he was promoted and knighted, Wang Jun was already dissatisfied in his heart, and he often complained about it in the government and the army on weekdays, and he was angry with people from time to time. When I sacrificed the prisoners today, of course, I also remembered the beginning, where I could balance my heart, and the color of resentment was almost written on my face.
Putting down the teacup, Zhe Congruan continued: "For the sake of Yushu, there are more than 30,000 Guanzhong troops gathered in the land of Qilong, and more than half of them are directly controlled by these three sections, and only the head of the horse is the foresight. The courtesy of the imperial court, inherent in its merits, is more important than the tens of thousands of troops gathered! ”
Hearing what the old father said, Zhen Deyan was thoughtful, and his expression gradually became solemn, and he said, "The Son of Heaven is suspicious of them? ”
Zhi Congruan did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "Do you think they came to Beijing specifically to receive a reward?" ”
"Father, please!" Fold the road.
"Suspicion, not so much!" Zhi Congruan said with certainty: "I entered the Privy Council, although it is only three months, but on weekdays, I have been in charge of the three festivals in Guanzhong, and when I come to Beijing, it is the time to dismiss the power and go to office!" ”
"And all three came at the behest of the order, and they also knew it!"
After such an explanation from the old father, Zhe Delan woke up a little from the joy of "the ruler of the country", "honor to the dynasty", and "the favor of the Son of Heaven". In the past few days after entering the city, the fold of virtue is actually a little floating.
Noticing the vigilant look on Zhi Deyan's expression, Zhi Congruan's face showed a touch of satisfaction, and continued to ask: "Have you ever thought about why the emperor recalled you back to Tokyo?" Why am I writing to you without delay? ”
When he said this, Zhi Congruan still couldn't help but feel a little angry, aiming at his slowness when he came to Beijing.
Zhe Deyan flashed his eyes a little weakly, but after thinking about it seriously, he said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be just for debriefing!" ”
Although in the past few days, Liu Chengyou has met with him, basically talking about the feelings of Weng's son-in-law and the affairs of the border. However, although Zhe De is not a smart talent, he has been mentioned in this way, and he is naturally conscious.
Taking a deep breath, Zhi Congruan first sighed, and then said to Zhi Deyan in a solemn tone: "For three generations, the power of the feudal town has been regarded by the center as the source of trouble, and it must be eliminated. If there is a promising king, it will be even more troublesome. When today's son is the male lord, the intention of cutting the domain and recovering power is already obvious!
I am already old, half of my body has fallen into the loess, and in the future, the fold will fall into your body. I want to remind you that although the Zhejia family has been in the prefecture for 20 years, it can no longer be used as a private territory in another day.
Although the Zhe family has a woman in the palace, it is not a guarantee of safety and survival. Liu Chong, the king of Taiyuan, was the uncle of the Son of Heaven, who was in charge of the important town in the east of the river, and what was the end of the imperial court's reduction of the domain. I need to be warned! ”
"Yes!" Zhe Deyan's expression was solemn, and looking at his expression, he should have listened to it.
After looking at the Son of Heaven, he got up from Ruan and said, "Okay, pack up, change into court clothes, and enter the palace for a banquet!" ”
......
In the evening, the long live hall of the Han Palace, the emperor Liu Chengyou personally set up a banquet, the banquet invited the three sections of Guanzhong, and called the jiedu and military envoys who had entered Beijing successively, and only the senior officials of the privy council and the military department accompanied the servants, and the rest of the ministers were not there.
There are not many people, but the atmosphere is warm, and there are many palace delicacies, fine wines, ceremonial music, songs and dances. However, the ministers of the banquet, except for Yang Ye, are mostly old and handsome generals.
Everyone, each with a case, Yao Yuanfu's seat is relatively forward, and he is also the oldest. But it seems that it is also his most presumptuous, and his loud voice is not at all like a septuagenarian, holding a wine glass, and said loudly: "The wine and food in the palace are just different, I am waiting in the place, where can I enjoy such food and wine?" ”
When he said this, Yao Yuanfu seemed to deliberately glance at Liu Chengyou, which also attracted the attention of most people.
Liu Chengyou didn't seem to care, and said to him: "If you like it, you can enjoy it, and later, I will give you more wine and food!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, why doesn't Your Majesty reward the cook for cooking, if so, the old minister will be able to thank His Majesty for his grace every time he eats in the future! Yao Yuanfu beat the snake and took the initiative to ask for a reward, and his attitude looked a little flamboyant.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows and replied casually: "This is a trivial matter!" ”
Regarding the emperor's attitude, Yao Yuanfu looked very satisfied, and said: "Then the old minister, I have thanked Your Majesty!" ”
As he spoke, he twisted his body and faced Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, the palace is very hot, and the old decay is unbearable, can you allow me to take off my outer robe?" ”
Yao Yuanfu looked more and more rude and presumptuous, Liu Chengyou saw this, looked at him seriously, only paused, raised his hand and said, "There is nothing to do!" ”
got the promise, Yao Yuanfu really took off his robe at the imperial banquet and threw it on the side of the case.
Liu Chengyou did not have a little unhappiness on his face, his eyes swept to the others, and he said very generously: "If the princes feel that the heat is unbearable, they can also untie their robes, today's banquet, only for pleasure, the monarch and the ministers are happy, and there is no need to be restrained!" ”
In fact, there are a lot of ice cubes placed at the foot of the pillars in the hall, and if you really want to say that it is hot, it will not be hot. Listening to the emperor's words, no one acted like Yao Yuanfu.
And Yao Yuanfu also successfully attracted everyone's attention, with different expressions and different thoughts.
Liu Chengyou was more considerate, and instructed Zhang Dejun: "Go, prepare more ice handkerchiefs and give them to the public liberation office!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In any case, Yao Yuanfu had some presumptuous and bold actions, which made the atmosphere in the hall deviate a little, or go in the direction it should be.
As Liu Chengyou got up, he held a full cup and walked in front of Yao Yuanfu.
