Chapter 36: The Name of Arbitrariness
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
After drinking a lot of wine, the building foundation miraculously did not fall, seven points drunk, three points sober, and everything felt good.
Zhang Shiyu lay on the table, muttering from time to time, several of his sisters and cousins were either lying at the table like him, or sitting there giggling, all of them were free from things, and only the county lord of Huanyan could still drink with the building.
"To be honest, you must think that we clan daughters are unreasonable, right?"
"Well......" Lou Ji was thinking about how to answer this question with three points of soberness, and the county lord laughed, "You have answered, it is not surprising, I have heard many rumors outside, and we are extremely unbearable, in their eyes, we are the worst women in the world. ”
"I think you're all ...... Particularly. "I really couldn't find a more appropriate word.
Huanyan couldn't stop laughing, and finally couldn't hold back, raised a toast, and before he could speak, he laughed again.
The foundation of the building is unknown, so gradually, seven points drunk to call the shots, he also laughed, no reason, no purpose, just had to laugh out loud to feel comfortable.
One of Zhang Shiyu's younger sisters was giggling, and was temporarily awakened by the laughter of the other two, and asked blankly, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at the ridiculousness of the world." Huan Yan raised his glass and drank it all.
"I laugh at the world for nothing to laugh at." The building also drank it all, and I didn't know what it was talking about.
Zhang Shiyu's sister refused to lag behind, grabbed the wine jug and took a big sip, and without waiting for the opening, she lay straight down.
"The person you're going to marry could be her, her, and her." Huan Yan pointed to the three of them, one of whom was sitting on a chair in the corner and sobbing, as if he had just been wronged.
Lou Ji leaned over and whispered, "You know what? I don't want to marry any. ”
Huan Yan raised his head, "Why, you're like them, thinking we're all bad women?" ”
Lou Ji shook his head, "Because...... Because...... I know that this is a trap, whoever marries me will be unlucky, even if it is just a marriage, will be implicated. ”
"I'm not afraid...... We are not afraid of being implicated, and our reputation is to act recklessly. ”
Lou Ji still shook his head, but he regained the upper hand with sobriety, and he didn't dare to say more, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so tolerant of you?" ”
"Your Majesty said, the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven can't command the world to be controlled by others, what kind of Son of Heaven is it? When I was a child, the old bachelor who lectured on the scriptures always said that this should be and that should not, and when His Majesty was a little older, he secretly swore in his heart that when he ascended the throne, he would never accept the constraints of etiquette and religion, on the contrary, he would set rules for etiquette and religion. ”
Lou Ji believed that this was something that the emperor could do, "I see. ”
"Your Majesty also said that the religion of etiquette is actually a good thing, and the Son of Heaven should use it to control His Majesty, not tie his hands and feet, and in the clan, only those closest to him are qualified to violate the religion."
"Your Majesty likes young people."
"Well, because Your Majesty suffered a lot when he was a teenager." Huan Yan tilted his head slightly, "You know?" When it comes to Your Majesty, you are no different from worldly people, and you are trying to figure out Your Majesty's mind. ”
"Isn't that what Your Majesty expects?"
"Not what I expected." Huan Yan picked up the wine glass, put it down to his mouth and put it down, and said quietly: "We are characters who are habitually indulged under the protection of the emperor, and we have wanton ideas that others can't dream of, but we don't know what to do with this wantonness, it's nothing more than singing and drinking and having fun every night." But I believe that there are truly arbitrary people in this world, and the power of ten thousand times is not enough to win their will, and the suffering of the rivers and lakes is not enough to change their hearts. ”
"Perhaps." The building foundation is also leisurely yearning.
The two faced each other silently, staring at different directions, Lou Ji raised his glass, Huan Yan also raised his glass, did not speak, drank at the same time, and found that there was no wine in the cup at the same time, smiled slightly, put down the cup at the same time, and then continued to be in a daze.
There was a bangzi sound outside, Huan Yan tried three pots in a row, poured out two glasses of wine, and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked Mr. Lou yet." ”
"Thank me for what?"
"You will give me the opportunity to admonish me, and you have annoyed the eldest princess for this, and she thinks you are double-faced."
Lou Ji laughed twice, raised his glass and said, "Have you forced it?" The result? ”
Huan Yan drank all the wine in the cup, "Your Majesty laughed at me, saying that I wanted to be a man too much, I must have been born in the wrong place, and said that he would consider my words, but he wouldn't, I know, Your Majesty didn't take my words seriously at all." ”
"Your Majesty is not angry, it is already tolerant of you."
Huan Yan shook his head, "That's not tolerance, that's ...... Despise. Your Majesty's so-called wanton will towards us is just singing and drinking and having fun every night, and the arbitrariness that is truly unfettered by etiquette and religion belongs to Your Majesty alone. ”
Lou Ji couldn't answer, and wanted to pour wine for the two of them, but the seven wine jugs on the table were empty.
"I'm so stupid, we people are stupid, we think we can be as arbitrary as Your Majesty, but in fact, it's a group of small courtiers, it's better to be controlled since childhood, and understand the difference between respect and inferiority early."
Huan Yan's eyes were red, as if she was about to cry, and Lou Ji didn't know what to say, so he had to look at her silently.
"No wonder the sisters say that you are useless, you can't even say coaxing words, and you can only write articles to find fault with others?"
Lou Ji thought for a while, nodded and said, "I'll only do this." ”
"Haha, okay, you find fault with me." Huan Yan didn't shed tears, and the smile returned to his face.
"The county lord...... It is very unwise to often forget the identity of the county lord. ”
"It's boring, the mistakes that anyone who reads can pick out are also problems that all of us have." Huan Yan was not satisfied, and forced the other party to tell the truth, which was somewhat similar to the emperor.
"The county lord's name is too real."
"You think I'm not worthy of being a county lord?" Huan Yan was a little curious.
Lou Ji shook his head, "The county lord is just a title, the county lord often says 'wanton', these two words are your name, the county lord looks up to it, and never can't, so he is tired, often like a prisoner, trapped in prison." This is what I call 'too much of a name,' the county lord ......"
"Don't talk about it." Huan Yan said loudly.
The drunkenness of the building subsided by three points, and he got up and arched his hand: "The night is dark, and the king will be greeted tomorrow, and the county lord should rest early." ”
Huan Yan looked up at him, with an apologetic expression on his face, "When the kings return to Beijing, we will even be taken away from this wanton behavior on the surface, and we will no longer be able to drink and talk with Lou Gongzi in the future." ”
"Without the power of ten thousand vehicles and the suffering of the rivers and lakes, how can you know whether the arbitrary heart is true or false?"
"Yes, let me give you one last drink."
After drinking all the wine, Huan Yan handed over an empty cup, "With an empty cup without wine, respect for the arbitrariness of the truth." ”
"With a realistic state of mind, respect your own empty name."
The two of them made a gesture of drinking, threw down their glasses, turned around, and walked out of the room, never looking back.
Early the next morning, Lou Ji was woken up by Qiao Zhisu, washed his face several times with cold water, and asked the servants to massage his whole body to eliminate the soreness.
Outside the Shili Pavilion, several colorful sheds have been set up, and the servants of each family are busy, and the master is either hiding in the car or standing under the shade of the tree, waiting for the team of the king of Jibei.
Zhang Shiduan and the others drank too much wine last night, and they all didn't come out of the car.
The building was bored, and he rode up a nearby hill and looked into the distance to see a continuous barracks.
Qiao Zhisu followed up and said, "There are five Western Expedition camps, and this is one of them. ”
"Has the court set a date?"
"Half a month later."
"Everything will be clear then."
"Of course, the general will personally conquer, and the rebellion in Qinzhou can be quelled in ten months."
What the two of them said was not one thing, Lou Ji smiled and said no more.
There was the sound of horses' hooves from the pavilion, and Qiao Zhisu said, "The palace also sent someone." ”
He was right, dozens of horsemen galloped from the direction of Luoyang, and the flag was fluttering, which could only come from the royal family.
The two galloped back to their original places and saw Shao Junqian talking and laughing with Lan Yong, and they couldn't see the slightest embarrassment when they were reproached by the emperor from Shao Junqian.
Qiao Zhisu jumped off the horse, bowed from a distance, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shao came to greet him in person, Your Majesty must miss the King of Jibei very much." ”
Lou Ji also came to see him, because he didn't know each other well, so he only said: "Mr. Shao is hard." ”
Lan Yong nodded slightly towards the foundation of the building, but his eyes did not look at him, and he bowed to Shao Junqian and retreated.
The remaining three exchanged greetings, Qiao Zhisu quickly left with interest, Shao Junqian asked Lou Ji to take a few steps, away from the crowd, and whispered: "I just met the general and the general of the Chinese army yesterday, and talked about that matter again." ”
"Father and brother are in charge, and the Lou family is the only one who looks ahead."
Shao Junqian once verbally conveyed the emperor's secret decree, hoping that the general would secretly get rid of the emperor's family in Jizhou.
"I don't know if it's my delusion or what, the general doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about this matter."
"The general is facing hundreds of thousands of enemies, and he is still calm and composed, of course he will not be too enthusiastic."
"Haha, that's my villain's heart and the belly of a gentleman. Lou Gongzi, please take another step to speak. ”
The two walked out of a distance again, and Shao Junqian said: "Companion Jun is like a tiger, Lou Gongzi saw it, right?" ”
"In this way, the loyalty of the courtiers is revealed."
"Haha, what I'm saying is that I'm afraid that the courtiers have the heart of loyalty to the king, but they don't have the order of loyalty to the king."
"Mr. Shao is the most favored by His Majesty, who in the world is not envious?"
Shao Junqian glanced at the crowd in the distance, "I don't envy myself, I tremble every day, enter the palace with my head up, and leave the palace with a dead heart, it is difficult to continue, it is difficult to continue." ”
The more Shao Junqian's words were spoken, the more wrong they became, and Lou Ji said: "Mr. Shao's loyalty is as clear as the sun and the moon, and His Majesty is wise, and he will definitely see it in his eyes, and he will never treat Mr. Shao badly." ”
Shao Junqian sneered twice and said coldly: "Assassin Hong Daohui, on the third day of his arrest, he actually confessed. ”
Although he had expected it, Lou Ji was still taken aback and forced his composure, "Then we should arrest the same party immediately to reassure people." ”
"The same party is too small, there is only one big fish behind it, His Majesty is not very satisfied, and wants to catch more and bigger fish."
"Your Majesty is very powerful, very accessible."
"The little fish I'm talking about, one of them is Lou Gongzi."
"Me? As the son of a great general, he will inevitably be falsely accused by the wicked. ”
"You don't believe me? Haha, it doesn't matter, doesn't Mr. Lou want to be the head of his father and brother? When you return to Beijing, talk more with the generals and the generals of the Chinese army, and then we will talk again. ”
The building was about to speak, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and someone shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Jibei has arrived!" ”
