Chapter Forty-Eight: The Four Great Families
Chang'an, a palace in the palace, at this time the lights are dim, a bright, tables and chairs are lined up with each other, the tea sets have long been placed neatly, and the palace ladies in elegant clothes are shuttling back and forth...
The banquet has not yet begun, but it is already very lively, tonight's dinner is mainly to celebrate the great victory of the frontier, and it is also a celebration banquet for Yuesheng and Yue'e.
The ministers who came here were all notified one by one by the Ouchi father-in-law after the next dynasty, and all the people who came here were the existence at the top of the imperial pyramid.
When the ministers were notified, they canceled their trip home and arrived here early.
When Yuesheng and Yue'e came here, they found that they were not the only ones here. But being able to get Manager Zhang to personally point out the invitation shows that the two must be the protagonists of this banquet.
Yuesheng and Yue'e followed by King Qin, and when they came to the banquet site, many people came to greet them, and Yuesheng smiled at them because he didn't know them, and handed them over to King Qin to entertain.
Yuesheng took Yue'e's hand and walked to a corner, then found a place to sit down, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the banquet would start as soon as possible, and then go home after the end.
Things often don't go in the direction Yuesheng wants, and the banquet doesn't start for a long time, and many ministers in the middle come to greet Yuesheng and Yue'e and get to know this pair of newly rising young upstarts.
At this time, an old man with gray hair but shimmering spirits walked towards Yuesheng, who stood up and nodded at the old man in order not to be rude and abrupt.
"There are talented people in the country, and a generation of new people has replaced the old, and the sister and brother of the Yuesheng son have been thunderous recently, which makes the old ears wrinkled, so come and get to know each other!"
The old man was full of smiles, his aura was powerful, and at first glance he was a man of the hour who had been up and down in the sea for many years, and had come over in the wind and waves.
At this time, King Qin came over, said hello to the old man, and said to Yuesheng:
"This is Lord Yu Wenhuan, the Duke of Weiguo, from the Yuwen family of the four major families, Lord Yu Wenhuan is also the patriarch of the contemporary family, their family has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, the elites in the family are gathered, and the protégés and ancient officials are all over the government and the opposition."
When Yuesheng heard this, he pretended to be sincerely frightened and hurriedly saluted Na Yu Wenhuan, which made Na Yu Wenhuan feel very useful, and the smile on his face was even worse.
"It's all floating clouds, what family, what family, it's all floating clouds in front of the years! It will eventually disappear into the dust of history. ”
Although Yu Wenhuan said this, his face was full of pride.
At this time, another old man came in at the gate, supported by two middle-aged people, looking at Wei and trembling, and glanced at Yuesheng from a distance. Then he scolded at the old man Yu Wenhuan and said.
"Old man Yuwen, stinky and shameless, he is there to deceive children. All the families have disappeared, and I don't think your Yuwen family will be able to do it, because you can be shameless when you go there, who will deal with a group of pugs who shake their heads and tails at themselves?"
After saying that, the old man burst out laughing, and seemed to be scolding very happily!
When Yu Wenhuan saw the old man, his face immediately changed, and he spat at the old man. In return:
"The dog can't spit out ivory things in his mouth, he will never be on the stage, he will only avoid the hidden arrows and hurt people, if he has the ability, let's do it with real guns and knives, see who is more powerful in our two families, and I am embarrassed to say that I am one of the four major families, and I am ashamed to be with him."
"My family can't be on the stage, so let's compare who has received the most rewards and whose official is the biggest in the past dynasties, I want to see how many people your Yuwen family can count."
"It's better than that, who is afraid of whom, why aren't you a dead old man, you should have been in the coffin a long time ago, and you will still be in this world to harm people."
"Who is the old man who dies? You're just a dead old man."
……
……
The two quarreled vigorously, and they were so red in the face that no one came out to dissuade them, Yuesheng Yue'e was very interested, and watched them quarrel curiously, at this time, King Qin quietly introduced to Yuesheng and Yue'e:
"This is Dugu Xin, the national teacher of the dynasty, and he is also the contemporary patriarch of the Dugu family of the four major families, he has always been at odds with that Yu Wenhuan, the two have deep grievances, as long as they meet, they will quarrel, because the two of them have a prominent status, and the two of them quarrel generally can't be persuaded, only the father can stop them."
Yuesheng heard that it was the Dugu family, this is good, the four major families who have grievances with their father except for Yueyang Valley, now they have all appeared, and they thought that several major families were monolithic, it seems that this is not the case, maybe you can find an opportunity to break it.
Yuesheng nodded quietly, and asked King Qin, pretending to be careless:
"King Qin, do you know that there is a family called Yueyang Valley? I've heard people say it's also amazing. ”
When King Qin heard Yuesheng say, he couldn't help but nod.
"Of course I know, but this Yueyang Valley is different from other families, they are more of a hidden family, their influence is mainly outside, not in the court, but there are people in each dynasty who are born as officials and are their spokespeople, and they are also ranked among the top in several major families."
Yuesheng listened carefully to King Qin's narration and nodded at King Qin.
At this time, the old man Dugu and the old man Yuwen were still arguing, and they did not stop, and the quarrel was getting hot.
Just then, a cough came from the door. When the two old men heard this, they immediately stopped arguing, turned their heads, and looked at the door.
The one who came in was the old man of the emperor, and when he saw the emperor come in, he stared at the quarrelsome old man Dugu and the old man Yuwen.
"You two continue to quarrel, let the juniors learn to learn, why did you stop?"
Emperor Lao'er said to Dugu Xin and Yu Wenhuan.
"One of you, as a national teacher, and the other as a defender of the country, disregarded the shame of being like a shrew scolding the street in such a large public, what kind of system is it to be swept away?"
The emperor's face was gloomy, and his tone was not good, and the two old men, Dugu Xin and Yu Wenhuan, were slightly red and embarrassed.
After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the two of them again, and with the support of Manager Zhang, he walked to the main seat in the middle of the banquet, and then sat down.
As soon as everyone saw the emperor seated, they immediately found a place to sit down, and Yuesheng and Yue'e wanted to sit in that corner. I didn't want to be dragged by King Qin, so I sat next to the emperor, King Qin.
As soon as the emperor saw that everyone was seated, he took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said to the people:
"The great victory at the border, we have not had a formal celebration, today while the heroes are there, we will set up this banquet, one is to congratulate, the other is to celebrate several heroes!"
Although the emperor Lao'er spoke slowly and reasonably, every word was sound.
Everyone raised their wine glasses and saluted King Qin, General Zhenyuan and General Fengyi.
Everyone stood up in an uproar, raising their wine glasses with both hands to Qin Wang Yuesheng and Yue'e!
"!"
only listened to the emperor's order, and everyone drank a cup to the end.
