13. Lu Qi went to the mansion for a banquet
Cui Ning nodded, "It's good to understand, Yang Yan's guy is not sincere to you, I understand this person, he employs people according to nothing more than three criteria - loyal to himself and capable of reuse, loyal to himself but not capable of use, as for those who have the ability but against themselves...... He'll just turn his face and kill you. ”
Under the flickering candle flame, Gao Yue knew that Cui Shibai was the second kind of person to Yang Yan, and what about himself? Probably between the first and third options, it's all up to me.
Cui Ning continued to talk about the Jingyuan military situation: "Gao Lang, you have also been in Jingzhou for a year, you should understand how dangerous it is to be directly in Pingliang Tuntian!" If he asks you to go and supports you to go to Pingliang Yingtian, it is nothing more than two purposes, one is to trap you in his camp and provoke the relationship between our son-in-law and Liu Yan; There is another one, he Pingliang Tuntian needs someone to provoke, this road is nine deaths, Yu Zhun and Du You will not go at all, so let you go. ”
Hearing this, Gao Yue thought that what could really realize his ideal was naturally Liu Yan's plan, that is, to first camp in the first line of 100 miles between Jingzhou, Fengxiang, and Changwu City, these military camps could provide food to several military towns in the northwest at the same time, and they were also very safe. And Yang Yan's plan, almost unchanged, according to Yuan Zai's will, is equivalent to "out of the amount of money", such a practice he, Liu Yan, Duan Xiushi have all stated: Although the general direction is correct, it is too risky, and once it fails, the harm caused will be very great.
If you copy Yuan Zai's last policy, then my improvement planning for such a long time will not be in vain?
Yang Yan is not a fool, of course he will know the risks of building a city in Pingliang, and the reason why he insists on doing so may be only one reason: he just wants to oppose Liu Yan, who only has a fiery heart of revenge, but lacks the strength and vision to be a ruler, and any national policy is just a means for him.
"What I'm most worried about now is that Liu Yan will also lose his mind under Yang Yan's provocation, so that Yan Xiang will really end up with the same ending as history......" Gao Yue's heart became a little anxious when he thought of this.
But the father-in-law Cui Ning below said to him bluntly: "Gao Lang, now is not the time for you to think nonsense, we have to do it too, and the soldiers are fast." ”
"Dare to ask Father?"
Cui Ning slowly raised his face, and the corners of his eyes showed a murderous aura, "You are now the imperial history of Xiantai, and even Chang Gon has been impeached before, so you have to impeach Qiao Lin next...... Fight Qiao Lin succeeded, and then your father and I will do it for the imperial doctor and Pingzhang, so that Yang Yan will be restless! ”
"It's not a secret, I played Chang Gon because of Guo Fenyang's help, and now?"
Cui Ning touched his beard and laughed, "Don't worry about this, Gao Lang, I am naturally a person in the Xiansi in the Shengping Fang." Tomorrow will be closed, and Cheng Luqi will come to pay homage to the old man in the imperial history. ”
"Lu Qi?" Gao Yue couldn't help but shout out this name......
The next day, Lu Qi really prepared a car from his house, and before leaving, he was carefully dressed, his hair was smeared with Sogdian oil, his clothes were incensed, he wore a brand-new gauze hat, and he carried the famous thorn that had been prepared in his arms, and then set off to Shengpingfang with a delicate ugly face.
At this time, in the Cui family's mansion, Cui Ning's fifty or sixty concubines were all noisy and shouting, busy around the middle hall, setting up a vocal feast, some were pruning flowers in the hook bar, some were choosing the color of the curtains, and some were showing their snow-white bodies in the screen in the back hall, trying on various dance clothes and playing with various musical instruments.
After all, it is the imperial court who is coming soon, and his identity is very important.
"Ahhhh Suddenly, the concubines who were changing their clothes behind the screen screamed.
Because the son-in-law of Cui Fu, wearing a round-necked dark cyan robe and a white middle coat, suddenly appeared in the back hall of the middle hall, staring at them half-exposed and half-covered.
Cui Ning and several sons rushed over angrily, "Gao Lang, what are you doing!" This is my concubine, and I will pay you to buy it if you want. ”
Gao Yue turned to his father-in-law and hurriedly said: "Father, Lu Qi will come to the banquet immediately, please be sure to send these little ladies into the backyard and detain them temporarily, and they can't be allowed to move around at will, let alone come to the middle hall." ”
"Why is this, there is no beautiful lady to serve the banquet, is it still called a banquet?"
"Please agree, my father-in-law will definitely explain it clearly afterwards."
Cui Ning was about to say something, but when he saw that in the corridor, his wife Liu and daughter Yun Shao were coming here, and he immediately felt a sense of crisis in his face, so he waved his hand and said to the group of concubines, go and go, just do what Gao Lang said, I asked Ren to come and stay with you.
"It's really inexplicable!" Dozens of flowery concubines were grunting, complaining, and were escorted by the Ren Governor with a horizontal knife and sent to the backyard wing.
"Oops, what a good night's sleep, a The Cailuan refiner, who had just gotten up, stretched his waist before he came out, and was crowded by this group of concubines and returned to a row of chambers.
In the end, even Zhihui, Acuo, and even her mother-in-law and wife were all invited back by Gao Yue.
Soon, Lu Qi got out of the car in front of Cui's mansion, presented his name to the doorman, and walked in.
I raised my eyes again and saw that there were delicacies in the middle hall, and there was only a Kunlun slave who was blacker than himself sitting in the hall, and in the hall was Cui Ning, his son, and son-in-law, and there was no shadow of half a woman.
At this time, Cui Ning smiled and smiled, stroked his palms and walked down quickly, exchanged greetings with Lu Qi, and invited him to the banquet.
"Oh, Yisong!" Lu Qi glanced at Gao Yue, who was sitting upright on the seat, pointed at him and laughed.
"Lu Gong." Gao Yue was also very polite, and quietly bowed to Lu Qi.
The other three Cui disciples, although they couldn't help but want to cry or laugh when they saw Lu Qi's appearance, they all held back and saluted in turn.
"Hmm!" Behind the window of the room in the west hall, Yun Shao, who could glimpse the scene of the banquet, saw Lu Qi who was going to the banquet, and just wanted to vomit, but was covered by Zhi Hui, "I can't help it, master." ”
This time, Zhi Hui was the first to understand Gao Yue's hard work.
Sure enough, Lu Qi was very satisfied with this banquet without a woman, but he still had more eyes, and deliberately asked Cui Ning if there was no kabuki at the banquet in the mansion?
If it was a normal situation, Cui Ning was afraid that he would misunderstand Lu Qi's true meaning, but he had been reminded by his son-in-law in advance, so he replied that all the ladies of the house went to the Buddhist temple to make incense.
Lu Qi finally relaxed, and with a little drunkenness, he reached some ulterior deals with Cui Ning, and submitted quite key black materials to Gao Yue.
In the afternoon, when Lu Qi said goodbye and left, a group of concubines were released, and they flew all over the mansion like a group of magpie larks. At this time, Cui Ning suddenly realized, "The son-in-law did the right thing, Lu Qi is so good-looking, and he is a narrow-minded person, if a woman is present to laugh at his appearance, Lu Qi will definitely hate me, and will retaliate against the Cui Mansion!" ”
At this moment, a woman wearing a half-worn feather coat with a falling horse bun suddenly appeared under the corridor of the central hall and asked Cui Ning in a big voice, "This old man, where is Yi Song?" ”
In a trance, Cui Ning didn't have time to think about it, so he pointed to the west courtyard and said, "Gao Lang is shooting a long battlement there!" ”
This looks like a female crown, and walks towards the west courtyard.
