Chapter 64: The Homecoming Banquet
Wang Xiaoming couldn't figure out Zuo Sanxiang's thoughts, but with his understanding of Zuo Sanxiang, what Zuo Sanxiang said would definitely be done.
Just because this little girl came out to welcome Zuo Sanxiang and Liang Jun two years ago when everyone was afraid of them, Zuo Sanxiang wanted to bring his whole family back to the capital.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoming suddenly woke up, Zuo Sanxiang is really clever, and he has done something that can make the government and the opposition happy.
There is a difference between the Gaochang people taking the initiative to go to the Central Plains and taking the Gaochang people to the Central Plains to meet the Son of Heaven.
Originally, Wang Xiaoming could choose a few people who could talk and do things to the capital, but it was a matter of course to do this like Zuo Sanxiang, and the little girl shouted that she wanted to go to the Central Plains to go to the capital, which was really difficult.
Now it seems that when the third minister of Zuo gave the horse that King Jin gave to him casually, he was already planning the current thing.
When a superior person does something, when the thing is done, the smart person can see it, but the average person can't see it.
"General Zhengxi, what are you thinking? Go to your house! ”
Zuo Sanxiang patted Wang Xiaoming's shoulder, and Wang Xiaoming came back to his senses, "Okay, good, I've already prepared the wine and food, this beef and mutton has been stewed for several days!" ”
As soon as Liu Jingchuan heard the word wine, he immediately shouted, "Today's wine has to be full for me, let me drink enough!" ”
"And us!"
"Don't miss our share!"
The soldiers of the third phase on the left also shouted in the back, almost scaring everyone.
Zuo Sanxiang turned around and scolded: "What are you monkeys anxious about?" Isn't there any wine in Gaochang City for you to drink? Bear with me, and you will soon go to General Zhengxi's house, and General Zhengxi will let you drink to your heart's content! ”
Wang Xiaoming lowered his head and snickered, it turned out that it was true that there was no alcohol on the other side of Luntai, it seems that these people have really held it for too long, and they can't hold it when they hear the word wine.
"Zuo Shuai, Lord Liu, brothers, the wine and meat are full, Gaochang's wine is really good, and it is even better with roasted whole sheep! There's something for everyone! ”
The eyes of the soldiers lit up, and the hard days finally came to an end.
"Thank you, General Zhengxi, then we're welcome!"
Zuo Sanxiang coughed a few times, "Ahem, cough, cough, pay attention to eating, don't scare people!" ”
When I arrived at Wang Xiaoming's Zhengxi General's Mansion, sure enough, there was enough wine and meat, and the stewed beef and mutton were in the cauldron, and the courtyard in the house was all set up with tables, chairs and benches, and each table had a roasted whole sheep and four pots of wine and a number of other flatbread and fruits, a total of 20 tables were placed, and each table could just squeeze ten people.
There are only about 100 people in the team of the three prime ministers on the left, and they can just sit down with a cadre of people in Wang Xiaoming's mansion.
After taking a seat, Wang Xiaoming invited Zuo Sanxiang to the chief, but Zuo Sanxiang still politely refused, "I am a civilian now, I can't sit with General Zhengxi anymore, if someone joins me in the future, it will be enough for me!" I appreciate the kindness of General Zhengxi! You and King Gaochang are now the masters, and the two of you are in the chief, so this is the rule of the household! ”
Wang Xiaoming, Wang Xiaozhun and Wang Xiaokuang came together to persuade, "Zuo Shuai, we are expressing our respect, not sitting according to the official position, no one can afford this!" ”
"Zuo Shuai, without your command, how can the three of us brothers be promoted? You've got to sit in the lead today! ”
"Zuo Shuai, don't shirk anymore!"
Ju Yongwen, the king of Gaochang, also walked over, "Zuo Shuai, Gaochang can have today, and it all depends on Zuo Shuai and the generals, you must sit down, Xiao Wang can drink with the heroes below!" ”
"Then in that case, it would be too pretentious for Zuo to resign, okay, it's up to you, and sit on the chief with General Wang!"
The left three prime ministers sat down on the chief surrounded by everyone, Wang Xiaoming then sat down, and the rest of the people also sat down.
"General Zhengxi is the master, the general speaks, I can wait to fill in this five internal organs temple!"
"Haha, Zuo Shuai is also the master, come and come, don't be polite, I'm still today
In that sentence, the wine and meat are full! ”
"Big brother, just eating meat and drinking wine, no dancing music, how boring! Are all the singers and dancers in your house hidden? ”
Wang Xiaokuang rolled his eyes and asked, Wang Xiaoming smiled and shook his head, "You kid, I originally wanted to surprise Zuo Shuai, you are good, you poked it out first!" Come on, come on, play music! Dance! ”
Ten women immediately came from both sides of the screen wall behind Wang Xiaoming, four of whom were holding pipa pipes and pipes and horizontal flutes, and the remaining six were wearing only thin gauze skirts.
The crowd who were drinking and eating meat immediately stopped, and their eyes followed the six dancing girls, some of whom beat the tune on the table with their hands.
Zuo Sanxiang glanced at it a few times and continued to eat meat, and Wang Xiaoming looked at one of the dancing girls and was also distracted.
Or Ju Yongwen picked up the wine glass first, got up and greeted Zuo Sanxiang, "Zuo Shuai has been working on a saddle horse all the way, please stay in Gaochang for a few more days, tomorrow Xiao Wang will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain Zuo Shuai and Lord Liu, and please be sure to appreciate Zuo Shuai's face!" Xiao Wang's cup of wine wishes Lord Zuo to go to the next level after adding an official to a higher level! ”
Zuo Sanxiang also got up and responded, "King Gaochang is polite, I naturally want to go to the Gaochang Palace, and Lord Liu and I will not be polite!" As for the return of the court, everything is subject to the arrangements of the imperial court! Come on, come on, I also wish the people under the rule of King Gaochang to live and work in peace and contentment! ”
Wang Xiaoming was a little embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly stood up, "I also wish Zuo Shuai Gonghou Wandai together with King Gaochang to make another miraculous achievement!" After returning to Beijing at the end of the future, I will have to rely on Zuo Shuai to support him! ”
Zuo Sanxiang had already drunk all the wine from Ju Yongwen's toast, and poured another cup by himself, "General Zhengxi, come on, you toast my wine, I can't drink it together in the Gaochang King toast." The name of General Zhengxi, but it is auspicious, I also wish General Zhengxi to rise step by step, and the future will be in the prime minister before me! The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, a generation of new people is better than the old people, Zuo Mou looks forward to you brothers being able to make more meritorious contributions and be promoted quickly! Come on, come on, don't fall behind, General Zhengxi, let's drink this cup together! ”
Wang Xiaoming held the wine glass in both hands, raised his neck, and dried it down, and then gestured the cup to Zuo Sanxiang, "Zuo Shuai, you are too polite!" Xiaoming was a little out of shape just now, offended, and today Fang knows that Zuo Shuai is a first-rate person. When I bought these six dancing girls, their boss told me that no matter how powerful a man is, he will be fascinated by them, and he will be fascinated by them! Zuo Shuai was unmoved! Hyomyung is completely convinced today! ”
Zuo Sanxiang laughed, "Hahahaha, what's this, in fact, I also looked at it a few times, but ah, as soon as I thought of the tigress at home, I didn't dare to look at it anymore!" I'm a first-rate person, but I'm just a man who is afraid of his wife! Come on, come on, since I said this, Zuo will salute General Zhengxi, Zuo's most envy in his life is that you are a real man who is not afraid of his wife! ”
Wang Xiaoming also laughed almost angrily, "Ha, yo, hahahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Zuo Shuai, who was frightened on the battlefield, turned out to be a man who was afraid of his wife, okay, I took this glass of wine!" I'm really not afraid of my wife! ”
At this time, everyone was also attracted by Zuo Sanxiang and Wang Xiaoming, who got up as the chief, and they all laughed crookedly when they heard this, and the wine jugs were knocked over a few.
Some people hurriedly caught the flask, while others lay down and sucked the wine on the ground, causing the dancing girls to laugh too.
This banquet was extremely cheerful, except for Zuo Sanxiang and Ju Yongwen, who remained awake, the rest of the people were drunk until they fell asleep on the ground on their backs and feet.
Zuo Sanxiang called the servants in the house, "Serve the general Zhengxi and all the military masters well, and King Gaochang will give you a reward!" ”
"If there are not enough people, I will send someone to the palace, and please take care of these military masters, and don't catch a cold after drinking!"
After everyone settled down, Zuo Sanxiang talked with Ju Yongwen alone in the courtyard.
"King Gao Chang, do you have any suggestions for Zuo to return to Beijing this time? Zuo is in
For more than two years in the Western Regions, I have done a lot of things, and naturally there are many criticisms! ”
"I am proficient in music and calligraphy and painting, and I really don't know anything about the court battle, especially if you have to give ideas to a world talent like Zuo Shuai, you think too highly of me!"
"King Gaochang is too humble, he can be a proton for a few years, and he can finally survive in an environment surrounded by tigers and wolves, which is also where ordinary people can't match you. And when I go back this time, the first thing is to save my life! So I made a special trip to ask King Gaochang for advice! ”
"Zuo Shuai looks up to me, since Zuo Shuai has asked here, I will tell the truth. The reason why I survived was because I was incompetent, I couldn't do martial arts, I couldn't lead troops to fight, and I couldn't manage national affairs and let the arrangements of the Daliang garrison, so I was able to survive. And Zuo Shuai is a person who has made immortal contributions to both civil and military affairs, Taoguang is not needed, even if you resign and retire after you go back, the court will not rest assured of you, and the people you have offended will not let you go! What Zuo Shuai has to do is to continue to display his talents and meet the next challenge until the end of his life! ”
Zuo Sanxiang was silent for a while, "You're right, I only have to be in the whirlpool, there is still room for maneuver, once I want to escape from the whirlpool, I will be swallowed by the whirlpool!" That's right! Then I know what to do! Today's meal was worth it! ”
"Zuo Shuai, the Ju Wenli family you are about to take away from Gaochang, please be sure to protect them, if you really can't do it, send someone to send them back!"
"Ju Wenli? King Gaochang is talking about that little girl? ”
"Yes, I gave her the name Ju Wenli, and since then she has the surname of King Gaochang, and she is also the identity of the Gaochang royal family! When you arrive in the capital, you will not be underestimated, I know Zuo Shuai's intentions, with her heartfelt words in the court, whether it is the emperor or the ministers, they will be amazed by your achievements! ”
"King Gaochang really has insight into people's hearts, if you were born in the Central Plains, you will definitely be able to make great achievements!"
Ju Yongwen waved his hand again and again, "No, no, Zuo Shuai, in life, many times you will be harmed by your own delusions!" I'm still the one who only knows how to play the piano and draw, that's all! ”
"I understand, the fate of life is different, and what I can grasp is nothing more than my own heart!"
During the ten days in Gaochang City, half of the time everyone was drinking, and the other half was sleeping and sobering up.
When it was time to leave, except for the left three phases, everyone was still dizzy, and the left three ministers asked Liu Jingchuan, "Is the wine still loaded?" General Zhengxi has prepared a pot for each brother! ”
"I can't drink it, I won't drink it anymore!"
"I've never been sober, I can't drink anymore!"
Zuo Sanxiang looked at everyone, "Let's load a car, I'm afraid that if I can't go out for three days, you will want to drink again!" Besides, further east, it is windy at night, and you also need a little wine to warm up! ”
"Wait for us! Let's go too! ”
Zuo Sanxiang looked back and saw that Wang Xiaozhun had also brought a hundred people out.
On the sixth day, Zuo Sanxiang told Wang Xiaoming about the construction of the post station, and the three brothers of the Wang family felt that it was indeed necessary to follow the method of Zuo Sanxiang to build a post station, so they sent Wang Xiaozhun to follow Zuo Sanxiang to build a post station.
"Brigadier General Xiao, is this here to see us off?"
"See you off, also, learn from Zuo Shuai to build a post station, and we will build one after five hundred miles, so we have to speed up in front of Zuo Shuai!"
"That's right, it's just that Brigadier General Xiao's team went out, and I'm afraid that if I build one, I'll have to turn back!"
"Zuo Shuai forgot, didn't you say that for a three-month rotation, my third brother Wang Xiaokuang will transport supplies to the post station we built two months after we set off, and then we will send someone to the next place to build a post station! In this way, in less than five years, the post station can be built to Yumen Pass! ”
"Hahahaha, I forgot, it's really a rising star, okay, when the post station is built, I can come out of the customs alone if someone on my left wants to come to the Western Regions!"
