Chapter 460: A Cup of Wine Releases Military Power
Lan Ziyi limped to the seat, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhang Yanwu on his right hand, the two of them had a friendship with each other on the battlefield, and they both planned to say hello after exchanging glances at each other.
It's just that today's dinner is not a private banquet for the two of them, so the two of them can't do it at will, before Lan Ziyi opened his mouth, Grandpa Long had already reached out and grabbed Lan Ziyi's hand, and Grandpa Long said very enthusiastically:
"Wei Hou has worked hard! It was really unbearable to see Wei Hou enter the door just now. ”
Saying that, Grandpa Long covered his face and wiped his tears. Father-in-law Yu sat on the top, glanced at Father-in-law Long, who was sitting below him, with a somewhat smug look, and said with a smile:
"Wei Hou is worthy of being my Taizheng Northern Xinjiang athlete, this expedition, Wei Hou has repeatedly charged into battle with a weak body, and he personally committed Yashi, the old man admires it very much!"
Lan Ziyi was praised by the two eunuchs in the inner court at the same time, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got up and wanted to give the two fathers-in-law a favor, he said:
"The demon thief is in trouble, Ziyi is a courtier, and it is his duty to fight thieves for the country, as long as he can destroy the thief, Ziyi will not complain even if his liver and brain are smeared, and his bones will be broken, not to mention one of his own feet!"
Lan Ziyi said heroically, and his impassioned words surrounded the pillars and could not dissipate for a long time. Lan Ziyi seemed to have carved a hole in the bottom of the basin, and the momentum of the whole room was leaked from him.
The table of military generals in the room in the Beijing camp were all emotionally moved when they heard the words, and several people were secretly crying, Lan Ziyi said their hearts in a word, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many officials sitting in the room today, I was afraid that these generals had already raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and they wanted to change their cups with Lan Ziyi.
Although Qiu Wenruo and Qiu Xiaozhi were also sitting at that table, his father and son were not infected by the warm atmosphere of the generals, and when they heard what Lan Ziyi said, they only smiled slightly and did not speak. Also unmoved by Lan Ziyi were Zhang Mingyue and the elders, and the other ministers at the table opposite the military generals did not feel anything, but some people sneered at Lan Ziyi.
As soon as Lan Ziyi finished speaking, Father-in-law Long pulled his sleeve and pressed him to the seat, and Father-in-law Long said:
"Weihou, don't stand up, I've heard that the wound on your foot has suppurated, and I just found Lang Zhong to scrape it for a short time. If you are injured, don't be reckless. ”
Lan Ziyi's headache worsened as soon as he sat next to Grandpa Long, but he had already adapted to the headache after so many headaches, and his head had already turned into the current rhythm after entering the house for so long. Although Gonggong Long had always admired him Lan Ziyi before, it was the first time Lan Ziyi had encountered such enthusiasm as today.
Hearing what Grandpa Long said, Lan Ziyi said:
"Today is a celebration banquet, or a celebration banquet ordered by the emperor, even if Ziyi is injured, he must be energetic, and he must not lose the face of the court with illness."
Father-in-law Long and Father-in-law Yu both nodded when they heard this, and they were silent with a smile.
At this time, Zhang Mingyue suddenly said to Lan Ziyi:
"This expedition to Weihou is really hard."
From the moment Lan Ziyi stepped into the house, Zhang Mingyue's attention had been locked on him, Lan Ziyi knew this very well, in the conversation just now, the two of them had secretly observed each other, and several times the eyes of both sides had already met.
Although Zhang Mingyue's sudden opening was expected by Lan Ziyi, what did he mean by asking such a painless sentence, it still made Lan Ziyi a little confused.
Lan Ziyi smiled and nodded at Zhang Mingyue, but did not answer for the time being, and at the same time, he turned his eyes and cast a look at the father and son of the enemy family sitting behind his right hand with the corner of his eye for help.
Qiu Xiao looked at him directly and immediately asked:
Zhang Shoufu said this is too unkind, Wei Hou set out from the capital to follow King De all the way, born to die, sacrificing himself for the country, just the pile of dead people will climb in and out of a good opportunity. Wei Hou has made great contributions, and it has actually become hard work in the mouth of Lord Shoufu, does Lord Shoufu mean that Wei Hou has been doing useless work? “
Zhang Mingyue smiled lightly when he heard this, stroked his beard with his hand and didn't make a sound, but just lowered his gaze on Lan Ziyi's body slightly, as if he no longer cared about the current affairs around him.
Qiu Xiaozhi had just finished speaking, and was about to lean forward to put pressure on Zhang Mingyue, when someone from the civil servants at the table opposite him spoke:
"Do you think that by inviting you to the palace for dinner today, you will be able to be powerful? Dare to ask what is the fame of this adult? How many official positions are there? ”
These words were very sour, like a sharp knife pierced into Qiu Xiaozhi's heart, his heart was bled out, and his brain was naturally confused, Qiu Xiaozhi's eyes were red and wanted to turn his head to find someone to seek revenge, but because he was carried away by anger, he couldn't see who was talking over there.
Fortunately, Qiu Wenruo was still sober, he stabilized his father and did not let the situation develop out of control, and at the same time opened his mouth to refute the official:
"My father and I are both because we went out to fight bandits and made meritorious contributions, so we are qualified to be summoned by the emperor to enter the palace for a banquet. Today's banquet is the emperor's celebration of the meritorious heroes, if the adults because of the official position, whether the white body can judge whether the people at the banquet can speak, then there are so many people here today that few can speak. “
As soon as Qiu Wenruo finished speaking, someone at the table over there retorted:
"Whether you say it or not, it's all up to Your Excellency, we haven't stopped it, and we don't want to stop it, Your Excellency doesn't need to bring the emperor out."
Qiu Wenruo asked:
"Why, then, do you say that my father speaks at this banquet for the sake of power?"
Someone at the table said:
"I have already said it, Your Excellency and Ling Tang are willing to speak, and I will not stop it. But the person who asked just now was the first assistant of the dynasty, the secretary of the ministry, from the first rank of the prince Shaobao Zhang Ming Yue Zhang, what kind of weight did Ling Zun dare to interrupt the first assistant casually? On this point, I said that Your Excellency and Ling Zun are powerful and blessed, right? ”
Qiu Wenruo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he had nothing to say, just because what this adult said was reasonable, it was always his Qiu family's father and son who were qualified to eat in the same room with others, and they were not qualified to talk to the first-class officials of the dynasty casually, not to mention that Qiu Xiaozhi still interrupted others just now.
The father and son of the enemy family had no choice, and the pressure was thrown back to Lan Ziyi. It is not accurate to say that the pressure was thrown back, because Lan Ziyi was just a moment of ignorance just now, and he didn't figure out Zhang Mingyue's intentions, Qiu Xiaozhi's words just now had actually clarified the calculation in Zhang Mingyue's heart for Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi's purpose had been achieved.
It's a good thing to just press the gourd and float the scoop and figure out Zhang Mingyue's intentions, but if you provoke the adults at the other table to jump out and besiege it, this situation is a little unsightly.
So Lan Ziyi turned his head to Father-in-law Yu and Father-in-law Long and said:
"Father-in-law, Mr. Xiaozhi led the way in this expedition and contributed a lot to the victory of our army. Now it's just a word, and it won't be for the sake of power, right? ”
Gonggong Long nodded when he heard this, as if he agreed with what Lan Ziyi said, but he didn't make up his mind. It was Father-in-law Yu, who really didn't take Lan Ziyi as an outsider, and directly changed his mouth and said:
"Well, yes, it's not a pretension."
Saying that, Father-in-law Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Mingyue, and asked with a smile:
"That's what Master Zhang thinks too, right?"
Zhang Mingyue smiled when he heard this:
"But I was talking to Wei Hou just now."
When Zhang Mingyue spoke, the smile on his face was really bright, but anyone could hear that he Zhang Mingyue didn't plan to let this matter go, and he blocked Father-in-law Yu's mouth with a simple sentence.
Father-in-law Yu's temper Lan Ziyi understands very well, Zhang Mingyue is so faceless, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this table today. This matter was originally provoked by Lan Ziyi, Zhang Mingyue can't afford to provoke it, and Father-in-law Yu can't hang it, if this black pot doesn't find someone to carry it, I'm afraid I won't be able to give an explanation to everyone here.
So Lan Ziyi turned around and said sharply to Qiu Xiao:
"Mr. Xiaozhi is also an old man in the capital, why don't you understand the rules at all, how can you interrupt at will when Lord Shoufu speaks? Why don't you make amends to your sins? ”
In terms of age, Qiu Xiaozhi is more than ten years older than Lan Qianzhen, and now that a young man like Lan Ziyi reprimanded him in public, it is definitely very faceless. But the situation is pressing, and he can't come out to carry the black pot, and no one will carry this pot. Qiu Xiaozhi is a smart person, of course he knows that Lan Ziyi really lost his car to protect the handsome, since he is a staff member, he still has to carry the dirty black pot.
Therefore, Qiu Xiaozhi got up and bowed his hand after Lan Ziyi said it, and said respectfully to Zhang Mingyue and the ministers:
"Xiaosheng is rude, offended Lord Shousuke, and ask for forgiveness!"
