The next day, the Son of Heaven invited Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan to the palace to name the eldest son of the emperor, Cai Yong saw his grandson, and he didn't let go, this little guy, compared to the little fat man, is obviously more similar to Queen Cai, Cai Yong seems to see the queen's appearance as a baby, holding the little guy and smirking, the Son of Heaven complained in his heart, my mother also said that I have lost my prestige, this hall of the three dukes, the head of the scriptures is not the same?

"Your Majesty, you will be named Xi, how about it?"

Cai Yong wrote it on the paper again, and said: "The book says: Yun Li Baigong, Shu Ji Xianxi, take its Xi word, it is the meaning of the Xi Dynasty, the Xi people, and the Xi country!" Hearing his words, Zheng Xuan frowned and asked: "Newborn son, take this name, in fact, it is expensive, Your Majesty, Your Highness is thin and weak, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear it."

The little fat man, who was originally a little happy, heard Zheng Xuan's words, and suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, what is it difficult to bear the preciousness? Do you look down on my son?

Zheng Xuan continued: "It's better to take a small name, wait for His Highness and the crown, and then give the word Xi, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Hearing what Zheng Xuan said, the anger in the little fat man's heart gradually dissipated, since ancient times, there have indeed been such cases, such as Emperor Xiaowu, there was also an unbearable nickname, even Cao Cao also had a nickname like Apu, he thought for a moment, looked at Zheng Xuan, and asked: "How can the public teach me?" ”

"When His Royal Highness was born and 戌, 戌 was a dog, and the minister was willing to offer a mastiff word, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"

"This" The little fat man thought for a long time, looked at Cai Yong beside him, Cai Yong smiled and nodded, seeing that Cai Yong did not object, the little fat man agreed, as for the big name Xi, it is natural to wait until the little guy grows up to be able to use it, of course, if the little guy grows up, he is not of great use, and he is not even loved by the Son of Heaven, maybe this Xi character will become the name of other princes.

"Mastiff" Cai Yong hugged the little guy and screamed with a smile.

Well? Dog son?

The Son of Heaven always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and frowned, why did he feel that this guy was scolding me?

The little mastiff was hugged tightly, with some fear in his eyes, or the little fat man hurriedly hugged him, so he didn't cry, Cai Yong smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a son, it is a great joy, not to mention that the east is flat, the whole country celebrates, Your Majesty can set up a banquet to entertain the ministers?" The little fat man frowned and asked, "Set up a banquet?" Why didn't I know there was such a ritual? ”

"There has never been before, but when His Majesty was born, Emperor Xiaokang had a banquet to entertain the ministers, so that the ministers were harmonious, and the temple was even more happy, and the ministers worked together to govern the temple."

The little fat man nodded, and he also understood in his heart that at this moment in the temple, between the courtiers, there were many contradictions, Cai Yong was interested in repairing this relationship, it is said that Cao Cao had personally sent Cai Yong wine before, and he also wanted to improve the relationship with the old ministers, Cai Yong did not want to continue to fight with Cao Cao and others, but today, for some things in the south, the two factions fought again, and Cai Yong did not want the situation to be interrupted in this way.

However, the little fat man is not worried about how close their relationship will become, a banquet can not change their relationship, Cao Cao and they want to sit in a higher position, the banquet can not let them realize their ambitions, nor can Cai Yong and others continue to sit in the three public seats, the recent events in the south can make their relationship appear a huge rift.

This matter was handed over to Hanmen and Xun Yu to prepare, and the banquet was also scheduled for tomorrow.

The little fat man hugged the mastiff, looked at Cai Yong, and said with some doubts: "There is one thing, I am very confused in my heart."

"I don't know what?"

"I am also the eldest son, and after I was born, I took the name Bian, and I never had a nickname, why is that?"

Cai Yong smiled a little embarrassedly, looked at Zheng Xuan, and said, "When Your Majesty was born, the ministers were still humble, I don't know why. ”

Zheng Xuan didn't have the same scruples as him, he said: "When His Royal Highness was born, he was emaciated and weak, so he was named, but His Majesty was different", he was about to continue, Cai Yong hurriedly grabbed him, smiled, and said: "Your Majesty, there are still many things in this Taixue and Menzixue, we may retire first?" ”

"Hmm"

The little fat man's face was a little dark, and his eyes were cold, watching them leave.

Hold on, hold back, think about Wang Fu, even he has endured it, what is this guy talking about?

The next day

The Son of Heaven set up a banquet, the news of entertaining the ministers in the palace spread, the ministers were extremely excited, Cao Song and other old ministers who told the old man to return to his hometown, they couldn't help but tell their children to participate, in the past, during the Jianning period, Emperor Xiaokang also had a banquet, and those who were able to enter the banquet that day became the three princes and nine kings, the world's famous ministers, and definitely found a way to get in.

Yuan Feng also wanted to advise, but his two heirs were outside, and there was no way to come back, so he had to give up.

Who can participate in the banquet, according to the little fat man's original idea, he hopes that all officials can participate, but if all the officials can enter the banquet, then the status of this banquet is far from as high as imagined, he still has to maintain the high standard of the banquet, after thinking for a long time, and finally set a list, among them, there are Cui Wei, Zhang He, Cao Cao, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xing Ziang, Zhang Wen, Liu Mo and a total of eleven people.

Among them, the most amazing is naturally Liu Mo, the last one, why can this guy also participate? It's not good to say, he is a Donghao descendant, a barbarian person, how can he walk with these three nobles?

At night, under the envious and jealous gaze of hundreds of officials, Liu Mo walked into the palace with his head held high, he was also extremely excited in his heart, and he didn't even know why he was valued by the Son of Heaven and qualified to enter the banquet set by the Son of Heaven himself, but the Son of Heaven valued himself so much, he must not lose the face of the Son of Heaven, and he repeatedly adjusted the borrowed gorgeous clothes on his body.

When he reached the palace gate, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and stopped him.

He sent the invitation with a smile, and said with a smile: "I am Taiwei Changshi Liu Mo, and I am invited to come to the banquet."

The soldier looked at the post, looked up and down at his ill-fitting clothes, smiled, and asked, "Jun is that Donghao-kun?" ”

"I was before, the Son of Heaven gave me a name, and now I am called Liu Mo, serving as the chief historian under the command of Taiwei Zhang Gong, and serving as the king's business" Before he finished speaking, the two soldiers immediately got out of the way and let him in, Liu Mo nodded to the two of them, and walked in, one soldier watched him walk in, looked at the other person with some annoyance, and said, "What are you doing with this barbarian?" ”

"You don't know how much he talks?"

"Haha, I'm just curious, the banquet is full of three princes and nine kings, and the worst is a speaker like Xun Jun, why do you say this guy can go in?"

Liu Mo in the distance trembled, turned his head, the two soldiers stood with their heads held high, they were not ordinary soldiers, but Chaozhong Yu Linlang, and they were not afraid of the long history of this hundred stones, Liu Mo looked at them for a moment, turned around and walked into the palace.

When he walked in, the ministers stopped talking, most of them were helpless and distressed, they didn't know, why did the Son of Heaven call this guy too, he was there, we were here to have fun or listen to Donghao's fish and shrimp?

"Minister Liu Mo, meet Your Majesty!"

Liu Mo bowed to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Today's banquet, you don't have to be so polite, sit!" Liu Mo asked for sin again: "The minister is late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive him", the Son of Heaven shook his head with a smile, and did not blame him, but just looked deeply at his clothes, and the Son of Heaven knew that his salary was not high

He looked around, at the end, Xun You was sitting alone, he walked up, ready to take a seat, Xun You frowned, and said, "Jun, there is someone here." ”

Liu Mo smiled awkwardly and looked up, but no one looked at him, they all turned their heads and chatted with each other.

Suddenly, someone snorted coldly, looked at Liu Mo, and said, "Sit next to me!" ”

This person is Zhang Wen, around him, except for Cui Wei, it is Lu Zhi, Liu Mo doesn't dare to sit, however, Zhang Wen is strong, he doesn't dare to disobey, and carefully sits next to Zhang Wen, at this time, Liu Mo noticed that everyone sat on both sides with a tacit understanding, Zhang Wen's side, all of them are old ministers, and on the other side, they are all Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun Yu.

No wonder, I can't sit down.

Seeing everyone seated, the Son of Heaven ordered the palace maid to bring the mastiff, seeing this handsome little guy, everyone was overjoyed, and they stepped forward to hug it, and the Son of Heaven was also smiling, for some reason, when he saw the elderly Cui Yu carefully holding the little guy, his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he thought, maybe when he was born, He Yaye also held himself like this.

After seeing the little guy, among the ministers, Cao Cao was the only one, with a little melancholy on his face, but he only stayed for a moment, and he concealed it very well, but this small move was still seen by Xun Yu beside him, Xun Yu asked in a low voice: "Cao Jun, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Haha, it's just that listening to this nickname, it's a little uncomfortable" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"So what? I heard that Cao Jun also had a milk name in the past," Xun Yu laughed.

Cao Cao shook his head and said nothing, what he really thought in his heart, others really don't know much, similarly, in the crowd, Guo Jia's face also changed, not for anything else, just because, mastiffs don't look like fathers, of course, it is normal to follow their mothers, but in the royal family, motherhood is not a good thing, generally speaking, only the prince of father-like is the most loved.

Just like today's Son of Heaven, his appearance resembles Emperor Xiaokang, therefore, his status as the crown prince was also set early, no one can shake his position, and the eldest son of the emperor today is indeed loved by the emperor, but after all, the Son of Heaven is young, if there is a son in the future, he is more father-like than the emperor's eldest son, then the status of the emperor's eldest son

Cao Cao and Guo Jia both understood in their hearts that today, they often act willfully, and the rules and regulations are like a fictitious in his eyes, and those who dare to sit on a chair in the palace are among the first emperors of the Han Dynasty? Emperor Xiaokang didn't dare to do this, he dared to do it today, but the future was too vain, and Cao Cao and Guo Jia didn't think about it anymore.

When the little guy left, the banquet was officially started, the ritual music was played, and there was a dancing girl, everyone was overjoyed, the banquet was full of laughter and laughter, chatting, Cao Cao took a sip of wine, shook his head helplessly, sighed, attracted everyone's attention, Xun Yu on the side asked with some curiosity: "The ministers are happy, Cao Jun, why is this?" ”

Cao Cao smiled a little embarrassedly, and then pleaded guilty to the Son of Heaven, and said: "The minister drank this wine, but he remembered the beautiful wine he drank in the past, and he missed it in his heart, so it is so." ”

"Oh? I don't know what kind of wine can make Cao Jun so out of shape? The Son of Heaven asked suspiciously.

Listening to the monarch's answers, Cai Yong and other old ministers sneered, if there was no instruction from the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao would have dared to speak so falsely because he was crazy, and they all vaguely guessed Cao Cao's intentions in their hearts, or the intentions of the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven became smart and knew that he couldn't end up in person, so he arranged Cao Cao, however, in terms of acting skills, His Majesty is still worse than Emperor Xiaokang.

"Your Majesty, the minister once drank the fine wine offered by Funan, and that taste made the minister unforgettable for a long time."

Sure enough, Cai Yong sneered and said: "Meng De doesn't work for state affairs, but he thinks about what wine all day long, it is definitely not the work of people and ministers, remember in the future, it can't be like this", Cai Yong directly interrupted Cao Cao's next words, and directly reprimanded Cao Cao as an elder, if Cao Cao defended, then he disrespected his predecessors, if he accepted the reprimand, then he would fall into disadvantage.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao with some curiosity, thinking about how Cao Cao was going to break the game.

Tianzi's face was also a little worried.

Cao Cao looked at Cai Yong with some innocence and asked, "What does the public say?" Some time ago, didn't I give the wine to the mansion of the father? Gong happily accepted it, thinking it was a beautiful thing, and he mentioned it today, but he also wanted to give him a few more pots, I don't know why Gong said so? ”

Cai Yong was shocked, yes, didn't he give away wine a month ago, wanting to ease the relationship with himself? He did accept and accept Cao Cao's letter at that time, but he was a little confused, and he hadn't reacted yet, the surrounding ministers looked at Cao Cao in shock, speechless, Cao Cao sighed helplessly, and sat in his position.

The Son of Heaven laughed and asked, "You don't have to be like this, Mende, this wine is obtained from Funan?" ”

"That's true, Funan is good, and pays tribute every year, but the development is not effective, and it is still a small country, if it is like Fuyu, the temple sends the prime minister, thinking that one of the vassal states will definitely make the local people rich and the place strong" Cao Cao said with a smile.

The old ministers frowned, as early as a long time ago, Cao Cao and others wanted to make a move on Funan and Zhenla, and completely turn these two places into the internal vassal countries of the Han Dynasty, just like Fuyu and the Western Regions, excluding the prime minister to govern, elevating its monarch, and integrating this place into the Han Dynasty, however, Zhenla and Funan pay tribute every year, such a country, if the imperial court has to do it, who will follow the Han Dynasty in the future?

However, this is also the meaning of the Son of Heaven, they are against it with all their might, and they can't gain the upper hand, I didn't expect that Cao Cao proposed it again today, and Cai Yong was already speechless, he never thought that a few pots of wine a few months ago could play such a big role today.

Only Zhang Wen looked around with some doubts, these days, he has not participated in the court meeting for a long time because he is unwell, what is going on? He hurriedly looked at Cai Yong and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Cai Yong didn't look over, he didn't dare to tell Zhang Wen, he was afraid that this guy would defect in an instant and go to Cao Cao's side.

However, Liu Mo, who was beside Zhang Wen, did not dare to hide it, and immediately said: "Zhang Gong, Cao Jun and them, they played in the temple before, hoping to conquer Zhenla Funan and expel the prime minister to govern it and make it the land of the Han Dynasty."

"What a good thing!" Zhang Wen's eyes lit up, he patted his knee sharply, and was about to get up.

Cai Yong grabbed him tightly and said coldly: "You old horseman, if you dare to get up and play, you will cut off the heads of the kings of Zhenla and Funan, after today, you and I will break off our friendship and die!" ”
