This palace feast lasted until late that day, and when it was late at night, the courtiers of the Zhao State in the palace were almost so drunk that they needed servants and followers to help them return to their homes.

However, it is unbelievable that this palace feast lasted for five days, during which countless dishes and drinks were consumed.

It is worth mentioning that in the palace feast on the second day, Meng Zhong got his own seat, although the position was relatively backward, closer to the palace gate on the east side of the hall, but the advantage was that his friends also got their own seats.

"Who could it be?"

Meng Zhong was puzzled for a long time, until he sat down in his seat and saw Zhao Xiangfeiyi nodding and smiling at him from a distance.

"Could it be Zhao Xiangfeiyi?"

Meng Zhong thought to himself.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed Zhao Xiangfeiyi who is the most likely.

First of all, he deliberately transferred him from Gongzi Zhang's gang, which can basically rule out that Master Zhao's father and Gongzi Zhang did it.

Because of Gongzizhang's character, he will not make up for the fact that he has been "exposed", not to mention that he has just been canonized as "Anyang Jun", at this moment is the time when he is in high spirits, and most of them can't think of this layer.

As for Master Zhao's father, from the "surprise" that Master Zhao gave to Meng Zhong yesterday, it can be seen that Master Zhao is sharpening his mind - probably the so-called fear of danger and not panicking, how could Meng Zhong be arranged in a "relatively inconspicuous" position?

Thinking about it, it may be that only Feiyi will do this.

When he drank to the middle of the game that night, Zhao Xiangfeiyi left the table to go to the toilet, and when he returned to the palace, he went to Meng Zhong's seat for a while and asked about the whereabouts of Li Shi, the envoy of the Song State.

At that time, Meng Zhong told Fei Yi that Li Shi had returned to the Song Kingdom.

Fei Yi let out an "oh", his face was not surprised, seeing this, Meng Zhong was even more suspicious, so he couldn't help asking: "Zhao Xiang, I don't know where the kid and others are seated, but Zhao Xiang arranged it for us?" ”

Fei Yi nodded very frankly, and without waiting for Meng Zhong to ask the reason, he advised: "Xiaoyou should not be with the public...... Too close to An Yangjun, Tian Buyu and others. ”

In all fairness, if it were someone else who said this, Meng Zhong would probably be disgusted in his heart, but for the Zhao Xiang in front of him, Meng Zhong really couldn't have any bad feelings - since yesterday Feiyi fought with Zhao's father for the sake of Zhao and persuaded Zhao's father to dispel the idea of canonizing Gongzi Zhang as the acting king, Meng Zhong admired this Zhao Xiang.

Although he was an "enemy", Meng Zhong still admired this person.

Having said that, Meng Zhong also felt that Master Zhao's decision to canonize Gongzi Zhang as the acting king yesterday was too whimsical - even he didn't understand what Master Zhao was thinking.

After thinking about it, Meng Zhong explained in the words that Master Zhao "taught" him: "I don't want to be close to Anyang Jun in Xia, I just have some relationship with Dr. Tian...... When the kid first arrived, there was only one person from the same country in Zhao State, Dr. Tian. ”

"I hope so."

Fei Yi nodded noncommittally, and then said with a smile: "The old man was born in a barbarian, but he has never heard that Master Zhuang is a big county in the Song Kingdom, and Xiaoyou, as a disciple of Master Zhuang, thinks that he also has many unique insights to teach the old man...... After the celebration banquet, the old man invited the little friend to the house for the banquet, and then asked the master Zhuang for his knowledge, and asked the little friend not to be stingy to give advice. ”

"How dare you."

Meng Zhong hurriedly returned the salute.

Immediately, when Fei Yi left and returned to his own seat, Meng Sui and Xiang Yi quietly moved to Meng Zhong's seat, and the former whispered to Meng Zhong: "Ah Zhong, is Fei Yi showing favor to you?" ”

Meng Zhong shook his head slightly.

He is self-aware, of course, he understands that Fei Yi, who is the prime minister of Zhao Guoguo, does not attach so much importance to him - what Fei Yi values is only his teacher Zhuangzi and his brother Hui An.

At this time, Fei Yi had already returned to his seat, and immediately, Fengyang Jun Li took the opportunity of toasting and asked Fei Yi in a low voice: "Fei Xiang, is there anything strange about that kid?" ”

Fei Yi did not hide it, and said truthfully: "This son is a righteous brother of Hui An, a disciple of Zhuangzi, with a noble status, and he must not be neglected. ”

Hearing this, Fengyangjun Li Dui raised his eyebrows, seemingly a little surprised.

But it was only a little surprising.

After thinking about it, he turned his head and said to a man who was about forty years old behind him: "Li Ji, go and contact that kid on behalf of the old man." [PS: According to the ancient etiquette system, the table word should be called, but because the table words of many historical figures lack historical data, the author does not want to make it up himself, so most of the time the full name or "A" is used instead, explain it here. 】

This man is Li Dui's son, "Li Ji".

"Yes, father." Li Ji nodded when he heard this, then picked up the wine bottle and walked towards Meng Zhong's one in the distance, chatting with the latter for a while.

After a while, Li Ji returned to his seat, and Li Dui asked him, "How?" ”

Li Ji thought for a while and replied: "Looking at this son's expression, he really doesn't look like a fifteen-year-old boy, in addition, this son has learned a lot of things, and his son just asked him about the laws of the Wei State, and he replied with Li Kui's legal code, and the answer was like a stream." ”

"Oh."

Li Dui replied lightly, glanced at Master Zhao, who was drinking with the courtiers in the palace, and then at Zhao Zhang, the Anyang Jun sitting in the row opposite, stroked his beard thoughtfully.

He still hasn't figured out which side the young man named Meng Zhong belongs toβ€”whether it is a cronie deliberately cultivated by Lord Zhao's father, or a henchman of Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang.

I have to say that there is a big difference between the two: if it is just the henchmen of Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang, then they should try their best to suppress it, because of the conflict of interests between each other; But if it involves Master Zhao's father, he Li Dui will not have the guts.

Of course, in fact, it is not only him, it can be seen from yesterday that the ministers of Zhao State in the full hall, except for Feiyi's arguments, no one else is not afraid of Lord Zhao's father, after all, it is not thirty years ago.

"Let's watch for a while."

Li Dui thought secretly.

I have to say that those who hold similar ideas are far more than Feiyi and Li Dui, in this five-day palace banquet, Meng Zhong and his friends were repeatedly bombarded by the courtiers of Zhao Guo in the palace.

These people frequently persuaded Meng Zhong and the others to drink, took the opportunity to get closer to each other, took advantage of the details of Meng Zhong and others, and disturbed Meng Hu and others, so that when it came to the palace banquet on the third day, even if they knew that there were enough dishes and drinks at the banquet, Meng Hu, Le Jin, and Wu Ying were reluctant to come again.

In the end, there were only four people: Meng Zhong, Meng Sui, Xiang Yi, and Le Yi.

From the panic at the beginning to the free talk and laughter later, Meng Zhong, Meng Sui, Xiang Yi, and Le Yi were fully tempered in the five-day palace feast, which surprised a group of Zhao courtiers who were secretly paying attention to them.

Finally, the five-day feast ended.

On the night of the end, Meng Zhong and Le Yi helped the drunken Zhao's father to the palace where he stayed.

Incredibly, after returning to the resting palace, after drinking a cup of tea that quit drinking, Master Zhao, who was still drunk and hazy, somehow immediately regained his consciousness - or to put it simply, he was not drunk.

"How do you feel in the past five days?"

Master Zhao asked Meng Zhongdao with a smile.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong was full of resentment, after all, on the first day, he was really at a loss by Lord Zhao's "sudden attack", after all, all Zhao Chen in the entire hall was looking at him at that time, fortunately, although he was inevitably panicked at that time, he did not show any embarrassment after all, which made people laugh.

As if feeling the resentment in Meng Zhong's heart, Master Zhao said with a smile: "Hahaha, I just want to test your temperament, ordinary people are inevitably at a loss in that situation...... It is difficult for such a person to become a great tool! ”

"So, what about the results of Master Zhao's test?" Meng Zhong asked coldly.

I saw Master Zhao brushing his beard, nodding as if he was satisfied, and said: "Among the sons, you and Le Yi are not afraid of danger, do not panic in case of trouble, and have the style of generals. ”

In the evaluation of Master Zhao's father, Meng Zhong and Le Yi received his highest praise, followed by Meng Hu, Wu Ying, and Meng Sui, although these three people were panicked at the time, they were not very obvious, and again they were Xiang Yi, Hua Hu, Mu Wu, Le Jin, and Le Xu, according to Zhao's observation at the time, these five people were obviously panicked at that time, but fortunately, Meng Zhong took the lead in walking towards Tian Buyu at that time, and they followed closely behind, and finally avoided the embarrassment of standing in place.

"I really didn't expect Master Zhao to give me such a high evaluation......" Meng Zhong thanked him insincerely.

Seeing this, Master Zhao laughed, and immediately smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, let's do it, I'll give you some other military lords as compensation, what do you think?" ”

"Commander?"

Meng Zhong and Le Yi looked at each other quietly.

They didn't believe that Master Zhao's move was just to "compensate", they felt that this should be the opportunity that Master Zhao deliberately gave them - that is, to strengthen Master Zhao's own power by letting Meng Zhong and others hold power.

To put it bluntly, they are just the "chess pieces" of Lord Zhao's father to gradually regain power, and such chess pieces are probably not the only ones.

Seeing that Meng Zhong and Le Yi were both waiting for the following, Master Zhao thought for a moment and said: "These days, I have carefully observed you and all of you, and I know that you and others are all talented, and I will give you two choices now." First, Gongzi Zhang has just canonized Anyang Jun, and it is the time to employ people, Meng Zhong, with your relationship with Tian Buyu, it is not a problem to ask for some military power under Gongzi Zhang; Second, under my leadership, I will be a general. The two of you believe it and can see it, and I have been with the Zhao family these days...... That is, my uncle Zhao Cheng, Zhao Bao and others had some disputes, it turned out that those guards, I was ready to replace them all and retrain one, but I don't know if you can take on this heavy responsibility. ”

After that, he looked at Meng Zhong and Le Yi, waiting for their answers.

Serving under Childe Zhang?

Or did he serve under Master Zhao's father?

To be honest, there is not much difference between the two, after all, even if Master Zhao wants to regain power, this power will be handed over to Gongzi Zhang sooner or later - provided that Master Zhao successfully abolishes Zhao Wang He and regains the power given to the latter.

But the difference is not much, but the difficulty is very different.

served under Gongzizhang, with his Mengzhong relationship, as long as Gongzizhang and Tian Buyu said a word, they could do it; can serve under Zhao's father to train the new army, and he is destined to be hindered by the Zhao clan - although those Zhao generals may not dare to come openly, they may not necessarily stumble behind their backs.

"How do you choose?"

Meng Zhong and Le Yi glanced at each other, thinking about the pros and cons.
