Chapter 352: Cui Mansion's Birthday Banquet (Medium)
Cui Ning is actually a feudal town in a certain situation, the entire Xichuan is controlled by the Cui family, Cui Ning's appointment as the envoy of the Jiannan Jiedu is not appointed by the imperial court, he defeated and killed the then Jiedu envoy Guo Yingyi ten years ago, controlled the entire Xichuan military power, and then expressed allegiance to the imperial court, and the imperial court was forced to recognize him as the envoy of the Jiannan Jiedu, and this term was ten years.
If nothing else, the next one is his brother Cui Kuan to take over, making Jiannan Jiedu the hereditary of the Cui family, which is also the confidence of Cui Ning to directly appoint Xue Xun as the assassin of Jianzhou without the approval of the imperial court.
Yang Zilin rebelled, and it seemed that he wanted to seize power in the same way as Cui Ning back then, but he failed.
The guests sitting in the hall were all officials of the Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, Cui Kuan took this opportunity to get together with everyone, and Xue Xun was not seen among the guests, so it was estimated that he was sitting in another guest hall.
Wei Gao stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words to Cui Kuan, Cui Kuan got up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Song Gongzi, I have long wanted to thank you in person, if it wasn't for Song Gongzi to report in time, I, Cui Kuan, would have been put in the oil pot by King Yama." ”
Guo Song replied: "Cui Changshi has won the award, it's just a gesture." ”
"Song Gongzi doesn't need to be modest, come! Have a seat. ”
Cui Kuan warmly beckoned Guo Song to sit down, Wei Gao also sat next to Guo Song, and he smiled slightly: "What was Changshi talking about just now?" ”
Cui Kuan smiled, "We are all talking about some things, talking about a topic that everyone is interested in, we are talking about who is the first beauty in Shuzhong?" Does Judge Wei have any candidates? ”
Speaking of the first beauty in Shuzhong, everyone's eyebrows danced, this topic is indeed very interesting, but Guo Song secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.
Wei Gao said: "Speaking of the first beauty in Shuzhong, of course I also have my own opinions, I admire the daughter of Jianzhou Xue Changshi, who is talented and beautiful, and can be called a peerless beauty." ”
Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, and Cui Kuan said happily: "It seems that the hero sees the same thing, we basically agree here that she can be called the first beauty in Shu, I don't know if she is here today?" ”
"I have to ask Song Gongzi about this, he is Xue Changshi's junior, whether Xue Cainu is here or not, he knows best."
Everyone's eyes looked at Guo Song, Guo Song was really annoyed in his heart, he said lightly: "Everyone, Miss Xue will return to Chang'an soon, she is not a person in Shu, and she can't afford the title of the first beauty in Shu." ”
Cui Kuan was surprised, "Okay, why do you want to go back to Chang'an?" ”
"It's not safe!"
Guo Song said coldly: "There are too many people coveting her, so it's better to go back to Chang'an to be quiet." ”
Everyone was a little embarrassed, and at this time, Wang Wenzhi, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, asked Wang Wenzhi, "Where is Gongzi Song?" ”
Everyone turned to Guo Song to point the contradiction, Wei Gao secretly screamed in his heart, Guo Song spoke thornily just now, which may have offended a group of officials present, and he felt everyone's dissatisfaction with Guo Song.
Guo Song picked up the teacup and said: "I can't talk about it, I have nothing to do in Chang'an all day long, wandering around, this time I came to Bashu to play." ”
Wang Zhiwen laughed sarcastically: "Could it be that Song Gongzi is the legendary ranger?" ”
Ranger is the general term for Chang'an ruffians, saying that someone is a ruffian, it is by no means a good thing, but scolding someone for being a ruffian.
There was a burst of laughter in the guest hall, and many people laughed even more unscrupulously, as if they were venting Guo Song's revenge for ridiculing them for coveting Xue Cainu's beauty just now, and even Cui Kuan laughed and did not stop everyone's ridicule of Guo Song.
At this time, a loud laugh came from outside the hall, "Hehe, it's so lively here!" ”
This sound sounds familiar.......
Guo Song looked out of the hall and saw Li Si, the king of Zhao, walking quickly into the lobby.
Li Xi is stationed in Chengdu as an observer of Liangchuan for a long time, in fact, his official position is an empty shelf, there is no official office and no subordinates, he is actually living in Chengdu, and the officials in Shu know that he was out of the struggle for the imperial heir and was exiled to Bashu.
But no matter what, after all, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty and has a high status, and even Cui Ning feels that Li Si is willing to come to the birthday banquet, which is the glory of the Cui family.
Everyone got up one after another to salute, Guo Song took a moment to slip away, but was grabbed by Wei Gao, "Why do you want to leave?" ”
His voice attracted Li Si's attention, and Li Si saw Guo Song and said in surprise: "Why is Guo Yuanjun here?" ”
Guo Song really couldn't hide, so he had to smile bitterly and salute, "Your Highness, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Li Si gently punched Guo Song's shoulder socket and said with a smile: "You stinky boy, you didn't see me when you came to Chengdu, are you afraid that my imperial brother will be unhappy?" You tell him that his East Palace seat is not rare at all now. ”
Everyone looked at each other, who is this Song Gongzi! Unexpectedly, the prince of the East Palace, everyone looked at Cui Kuan, Cui Kuan looked at Wei Gao again, Wei Gao was even more dazed, he just bought a piece of jade from Guo Song, but he didn't know anything about his identity, and thought he was a rich son from Chang'an, but now it looks like he has lost his eyes.
Here, Guo Song explained to Li Si: "This time I just came to Shuzhong to play, I didn't stay in Chengdu for long, and I must visit the prince when I have time." ”
Li Si nodded, "But I still want to congratulate you on your promotion, some people say that you are young and noble, and your qualifications are not enough, but I think you are fully qualified, and you have accumulated it with military merits, who dares to disagree?" ”
Cui Kuan had already realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, can you introduce us to this young talent?" ”
Li Xi smiled dumbly, "You have been chatting for a long time, don't you know who he is?" The youngest high-ranking official from the third grade of Datang, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Lingwu County Duke Guo Song, some time ago I remember that Chengdu didn't rumor his news? ”
There was an uproar in the lobby, shocked, shocked, ashamed, and annoyed, all kinds of expressions appeared on the faces of the officials, Wang Wenzhi, who had just ridiculed Guo Song, was even more eager to slap himself a few times, and he was disrespectful and offended people, although Guo Song is now a court official, but who knows if he will come to Bashu to serve as a high-ranking official?
Cui Kuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "It turned out to be Guo Yuanjun, the lower official was rude, please don't blame the envoy!" No wonder! ”
Guo Song replied with a smile: "I just came to Bashu to play in a private capacity, I don't want to alarm Cui Changshi, everyone continue to chat, I will be absent for a while." ”
The identity being revealed will affect Xue Xun, he has to hurry up to Xue Xun, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said sorry to King Zhao, and hurriedly walked out of the hall.
Cui Kuan hurriedly gave Wei Gao a look, and Wei Gao woke up from his frustration and hurriedly chased him out.
"Song.... No! No! Guo Yuanjun waited. ”
Guo Song walked out of the lobby, stopped, and said apologetically to Wei Gao, who caught up: "I just said that I came to Bashu in my private capacity, so hide my real name, Brother Wei is not strange!" ”
"Hey! It's because I'm too stupid, how can ordinary people have so much courage to lead a thousand soldiers to attack Luzhou, I should think that the envoy is not an ordinary person. ”
Guo Song smiled slightly, "Yang Zilin's matter has nothing to do with me, don't put the credit of Xue Changshi on my head." ”
How could Wei Gao not understand that Guo Song was going to give the credit to Xue Xun, he laughed in a low voice: "When everyone was talking about Miss Xue just now, I felt that Jun was a little angry, and Jun came to Bashu, it should be for Miss Xue, right?" ”
"Think so."
"Then it can be understood, everyone was really rude just now, I apologize to Guo Gongzi."
"This has nothing to do with Brother Wei!"
Guo Song didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so he diverted the topic and said: "I want to find Xue Changshi, I don't know where he is?" Can Brother Wei help? ”
"I seem to have seen him just now, and I will take the envoy there."
"No, just ask him to come out, I want to say a few words to him privately."
Wei Gao nodded, "You wait a moment!" ”
He walked briskly towards the main hall.......
Not long after, Xue Xun hurriedly came out, he had already obtained the specific official position of Guo Song from Wei Gao, which made him really feel a little uneasy.
"Virtuous nephew, you shouldn't hide it from me!"
Xue Xun stepped forward and complained in a low voice: "If you don't want people to know, I can also hide it for you, you should tell me." ”
Guo Song said apologetically: "There is a reason for the incident, please forgive Uncle Shi!" ”
Of course, Xue Xun knew that Guo Song didn't want to embarrass himself by hiding the truth, so as not to make people think that he agreed to their marriage because of snobbery, but in fact, he was thinking about himself.
"Virtuous nephew, when I see Cui Shuai when I go back, explain the matter to him clearly, there should be no problem!"
Guo Song was slightly stunned, "Jie Du is not with his uncle?" ”
"At the beginning, after a few words, he went into the inner house to deal with things, and now he is not there."
Guo Song suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, he knew in the lobby just now that Xue Tao had already been noticed by everyone, how could Cui Ning, who was fond of women, turn a blind eye to Xue Tao?
Guo Song whispered to Xue Xun what had just happened, and Xue Xun was shocked, "How is this good?" ”
"Xiao Yu Niang protects her closely, it shouldn't be a big problem now, I want to take Tao'er to take a step forward later, and we won't participate in the banquet."
Xue Xun groaned and said, "Your identity has been revealed, is it appropriate to say goodbye like this?" ”
"What about my uncle's opinion?"
Xue Xun thought for a while and said, "Tao'er can go back first, I think you'd better not leave in a hurry, at least on the surface, you have to deal with it." ”
"I'll see what happens later!"
Guo Song really didn't like it in his heart, he felt that he needed to take decisive measures to cut off some people's bad thoughts.
