Chapter 185: My heart is in turmoil
A few years ago, Sulu Khan was canonized as a loyal Khan by the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, in order to show his loyalty, Sulu Khan once worshipped Li Longji as a son. Therefore, the bone slurred up the relatives.
Li Longji was stunned, and he couldn't imagine seeing the prince of the Turgish people on such an occasion. The arrival of foreign ministers to ask for a meeting is generally sent by Honglu Temple to ask for instructions, but no statement has been received in the past few days.
Among today's guests, the most worried is that Honglu Qing Yuwen melted, and the sudden appearance of the bone sip made him uneasy, and when he heard that the Holy Lord was coming, he knew that something was wrong. The bone slurping fell to the ground and bowed, which made his eyes black and cold sweat broke out. Fortunately, he was in the seat at the front of the stage, Li Longji and his party were very close to him, and a eunuch standing next to Li Longji was looking at him. This gaze was like a life-saving straw in the vast sea, and he hurriedly turned his eyes for help.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has also heard a lot of wonderful stories that have been circulating in the market recently, and I guess that the person on the stage may be the hero of the story or, or the villain. It's just that there are different opinions, and the old slave is also confused for a while, and he can't distinguish between truth and falsehood. If you see it today, you can also satisfy your curiosity. ”
The eunuch who spoke was none other than Colliers. Seeing Gao Lishi say this, Yuwen Rong breathed a sigh of relief, with this statement, he could completely deduce that Tuqi Shi had made his identity suspicious, and he needed to verify it before he dared to report it. The timing of this verification is difficult to say, and various departments need to be involved.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhong rolled his eyes, but said: "What Gao Nei said is very true, and the minister also has such thoughts, so he brought this person here." However, the minister heard that there was something wrong with the hospitality of Honglu Temple. Maybe it was Yuwen Rongshang who returned to Beijing, and it didn't take long to worship Hongluqing, and he had to take charge of the household department, so I am afraid that he can't manage it. ”
Wu Zhong's gloating eyes slanted at Yu Wenrong coldly. In his heart, he had hated Yu Wenrong to death, originally, Wu Zhong had been staring at the position of Honglu Siqing for a long time, and it could be said that he was determined to win, but unexpectedly, he killed Yu Wenrong halfway and no one was optimistic about him, and he didn't know how this abandoned minister entered the eyes of the saint and how he regained his favor. There is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of us, and we must seize it and tear him off.
When Yu Wenrong heard this, he complained bitterly. It's all the damned Wang Maozhong, who burned this matter on his own head, he was good, and he ran to Taiyuan as soon as possible, so that he could pick up this hot potato. Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yu Wenrong had no choice but to stand up and face the saint.
"Chen Yu Wenrong has seen the saint. Holy Grace. ”
"Oh? Yu Wenqing is also there! Today is Mrs. Zheng Guo's day of celebration, there is no need to talk about irrelevant matters, and I will talk about it tomorrow if there is something. It's all exempt. ”
Li Longji smiled and waved his hand, without any clear attitude. The free gift is for Gu Si, because his identity has not yet been determined, Li Longji doesn't want to be a cheap "grandfather".
An unconcealable look of disappointment flashed across Wu Zhong's face......
"Haha, Mrs. Guo is blessed with a long life. It seems that it was my arrival that interrupted Mrs. Guo's interest, and she should be punished. ”
Mrs. Zheng Guo said in panic: "The saint has tormented the old body. The old body's legs and feet are inconvenient, but it is rude, and Your Majesty will not blame it. ”
Concubine Wu Hui said coquettishly: "Auntie, don't be polite and polite, Li Lang said that we are all a family, even if it is a family banquet today, there are not so many rules, just be casual." ”
A eunuch had already brought up the wine that had been tested, Li Longji took a glass of wine and saluted Mrs. Zheng Guo: "Langzi, I will drink it first as a respect!" ”
After saying "Gu Dong", take a sip of the wine in the cup.
Hearing that the saint called himself his son-in-law "Langzi", everyone was much less restrained, and the scene began to be lively.
"Mother, I also toast you, I wish my mother a long life than Nanshan, as blessed as the East China Sea."
The radiant Concubine Wu Hui said with joy in her heart.
"Okay, good, the old body is really happy today."
Mrs. Zheng Guo raised her hand to wipe her eyes and sobbed.
"Come, let's toast to Mrs. Zheng Guo together!"
Pei Guangting raised his glass and shouted in time, making a show in front of the saint.
With everyone's toasts and congratulations, the birthday banquet arrived......
Gu Si did not see the emperor again, and Li Longji left in a hurry after congratulating him. It is said that Xingqing Palace is expanding, and the emperor will personally be present to give instructions.
The birthday banquet also ended with the emperor's departure, and the guests also thanked and said goodbye and dispersed.
"Guozi sacrificial wine, then me, what should I do?"
In the martial arts study, Gu Si anxiously asked Wu Zhong for advice.
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, I see that this matter has already been raised, and in less than three days, Your Highness will definitely be able to meet the Holy One. As for the matter of marrying the princess,"
At the end of his words, Wu Zhong deliberately paused.
Gu Si hurriedly said: "If I can marry a virtuous niece as a wife, the son of the country will be my reborn benefactor, and he will definitely repay him in the future." ”
Wu Zhong didn't say a word, just smiled and stared at Gu Si.
Gu slurped, and suddenly realized: "Yes, this time, I came here and brought a lot of paintings by famous artists from the previous dynasty, such as Zhan Ziqian?" Chang'an carriage and horse figures? Wait, are the paintings brought by the princess of the former dynasty when she married to the Turks, even for me, I am a rough person, I don't know how to write and ink, it's a pity to keep it, so I brought the Celestial Empire by the way to give it to the destined scholars, but I forgot that the country's sacrificial wine is the biggest literati in the Celestial Empire. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will have someone send it to the country to taste and appreciate the wine. ”
Wu Zhong said: "Your Highness is polite. In this way, Wu Zhong thanked the prince. ”
When Gu Si walked out of the study, Pei Guangting happened to come in, and the two glanced at each other and staggered by.
"Oops, Brother Liancheng has been waiting for a long time. Rude, rude. ”
Wu Zhong greeted Pei Guangting who came in with a smile.
"Where, where, it's the light court that is bothering. Please also don't get bored with the wine of the country's sacrifice. ”
Pei Guangting said with a smile.
In terms of age, Pei Guangting can be Wu Zhong's father, but in terms of generation, the two are the same generation, compared with the official position, Pei Guangting is temporarily behind Wu Zhong, who is noble by his sister.
Wu Zhong said politely: "Our family doesn't talk to each other. Brother Liancheng has something to say, brother, I will never shirk what I can do. ”
Pei Guangting said: "Then with all due respect." Zhao Hanzhang, the chief of Anxi, who came to Beijing the day before yesterday, came to see him, and in his words, he wanted to ask me to help the prince of the country and take over the vacancy of Zhao Yizhen, the protector of Anxi. Zhao Hanzhang is a soldier who knows the soldiers, and his writing is also good, in terms of ability, there should be no problem. ”
"Hehe, even Brother Cheng knows that I am only a national sacrifice wine, and I have no real power, this favor seems to be difficult to help." Wu Zhong said with a smile.
Pei Guangting said: "The country's sacrificial wine is too modest, who doesn't know that there are people in the ministry who are easy to do." ”
Wu Zhong touched his beard that had not yet grown and said, "Well, you can try this matter, don't worry." But there is one thing that Brother Lian Cheng has to deal with carefully. ”
"Oh!? I would like to hear the details, and ask the son of the country to give advice. Pei Guangting wondered.
Wu Zhong said meaningfully: "I heard that Brother Liancheng intends to marry the Xiao family, right? ”
Pei Guangting nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." I wonder what's wrong? ”
Wu Zhong smiled, didn't say anything, but said something else: "Wang Maozhong's marriage to his daughter and the general of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Ge Fu Shunzi are vivid. ”
Pei Guangting didn't understand, and said: "Well, I know about this, there have been rumors in the imperial history, and they have tried their best to slander Huo Guogong, but the saint is wise, and the slanderer has not been degraded from Chang'an?" Those who are clear are self-purifying. ”
Wu Zhong shook his head and said, "Once the seeds are planted, they will take root and sprout. Brother Liancheng might as well wait and see, it won't take too long to sprout. ”
Seeing that Pei Guangting didn't believe it, Wu Zhong said again: "With Wang Maozhong's merits and qualifications, why is it that so far, it is only the glory of the lord, but the actual position is missing?" Brother Liancheng might as well think about it carefully. ”
"This?" Pei Guangting began to meditate.
Wu Zhong continued: "Hexi's war against Tubo is already clear, and the elite of my Tang Dynasty is here, and Tubo will definitely be defeated. At that time, Xiao Song, who is the secretary of the military department and the Hexi Jiedu, will inevitably be favored because of his merits, and it is not an exaggeration to enter the prime minister, and his in-laws want to get the opportunity to get the emperor's favor again......"
Wu Zhong didn't finish speaking, and looked at Pei Guangting with a smile.
Pei Guangting was awakened by a word, but it was the case, today's saint will never let two people with family relations enter the cabinet, once Xiao Song worships the prime minister, his career will also stop because of this marriage relationship. It's really a fan of the authorities, and the outsiders are clear, but, how can this be worthy of Pei Xiaoniang?
Pei Guangting was a little messy, Wu Zhong's words seemed to be for himself, but it wasn't all, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Coming out of Wuzhong's study, Pei Guangting was in turmoil, worshipping the prime minister has always been his long-cherished wish, the once smooth sailing career fell into a trough because of the change of the throne and the wrong team, and finally returned to the capital, the career has just improved, with qualifications and ability, and a strong relationship, it is not impossible to enter the cabinet in a few years, but if the marriage of children hinders the pace of the career, then the gains outweigh the losses, not to mention, this year I have fifty one, and there are not many years in life to consume.
"Liancheng, I think you will pull down your old face and give Xiao Shangshu a letter to Xiu, suggesting that he will come to propose marriage, if he returns triumphantly, I don't know when it will be, let's settle down first."
On the carriage on the way home, the Wu family couldn't resist Pei Xiaoniang's pleas, and spoke his heart for Pei Xiaoniang.
Pei Xiaoniang saw the threat from Gu Si's eyes and actions, and her fate was likely to be changed by this person, so she ignored the problem of her face and coquettishly told the Wu family.
Pei Guangting looked at his beloved little lady, a piercing pain came up, he closed his eyes painfully, and said, "Let me think about it, think about it again." ”
"Father!"
Pei Xiaoniang was quite disappointed, the flush on her face just now was gone, and her father's attitude and tone made her feel a little inappropriate.
The Wu clan was quite strange, he was in a good mood before he met Wu Zhong just now, why did he lose a lot in the blink of an eye, could it?
Wu didn't dare to imagine it, she hugged the little lady beside her, and comforted with a forced smile: "Little lady, don't make trouble, Father will deal with it, we believe Father, okay?" ”
Pei Xiaoniang lay aggrievedly in Wu's arms, and a heart flew to her sweetheart's body, for some reason, the figure of the hateful Hu man always flashed in front of her eyes......
