Chapter 321: Rigidity and Softness
An Qingxu asked as soon as he spoke, and everyone in the audience whispered one after another, and some even let out a low laugh. In their opinion, Wang Yuan must be trying to hide his embarrassment left and right, or he may ridicule each other or even walk away. But what Wang Yuan said disappointed their expectations.
It seems that the second son knows Wang's past experience very well. Yes, Wang was indeed born in Fangding, and before February this year, Wang was still at home with no food and clothing, and he was muddy every day. Moreover, even if it is the position of this fangding, it was my good brother who begged for me and did half a month of private work for the fangzheng family. ”
Wang Yuan replied with a smile, and his expression naturally did not look half embarrassed.
An Qingxu originally wanted to humiliate Wang Yuan with these words, but he didn't expect to punch him empty, and he was a little stunned. However, he did not give up, the suppression and humiliation of Wang Yuan at today's banquet was approved by his father, that is, to make this Wang Yuan obedient, so that he would not dare to make trouble during his time in Hebei Province.
So An Qingxu spoke again: "I didn't expect this to be the case, I still think it's a rumor." The dignified envoy actually had such a difficult time, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed it. Well...... I also heard that since the Pear Blossom Poetry Meeting in February, Wang Qin's envoy has become famous in Chang'an. Several poems were written at the Pear Blossom Poetry Meeting, which moved the world. At that time, Wang Qin's envoy was a staff member in Li Shizhi's mansion, and it seems that Li Shizhi's insight must have brought Wang Qin's envoy. ”
"Yes, it is indeed me who was promoted by Li Zuoxiang, if there is no Li Zuoxiang, there would be no Wang Yuan today." Wang Yuan said sincerely.
"It seems that Li Zuoxiang is also your benefactor, just now Wang Qin's envoy said, what a difference between kindness and not repaying the beast, I am very moved. But there's one thing I don't understand. I heard that Wang Qin's envoy later had the opposite eye with Li Zuo, and even had a grudge, wouldn't this become a grudge to repay kindness? An Qingxu looked at Wang Yuan with a smile, his eyes full of pride.
These words were like a sharp knife stabbing at Wang Yuan, attacking Wang Yuan with Wang Yuan's words, pointing directly at Wang Yuan's ingratitude, no less than pointing at Wang Yuan's nose and scolding him in person.
Gongsun Lanxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her breathing became short, she knew that it was impossible for Wang Yuan to say the reason for the opposite of Li Shizhi, but then Wang Yuan would not be able to explain this vicious question.
"Is this General An's hospitality? It's too much to embarrass my son-in-law in public. Wang Qin's envoy came to inspect Hebei Province at the behest of His Majesty, but he did not come to answer these frivolous questions. Gongsun Lan said coldly.
An Qingxu frowned and looked at Gongsun Lan and said coldly: "How come you are not big or small as a subordinate member?" I'm talking to your envoy, but you're interjecting, do you understand the rules? ”
Gongsun Lan retorted and wanted to sneer, Wang Yuan shouted softly: "Shut up, there is no place for you to speak here." ”
Gongsun Lan was very angry, but also very helpless, it was impossible not to give Wang Yuan face at this time, so he stopped talking angrily.
An Qingxu smiled and said: "Wang Qin, what I asked just now may be a bit rude, if Wang Qinenvoy is unwilling to answer, there is no need to answer." Actually, I was just chatting with the envoy, but I just felt that the envoy's speech was a little inconsistent. It's okay, it's okay, when I didn't ask. ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "The second son thinks about it too much, what's so rude about this, everything must be said to people, the second son is curious, and he is very interested in Wang, so he said what about listening to the second son?" ”
"Oh?" An Qingxu laughed and said: "Wang Qin's envoy is really magnificent, just don't force yourself, I don't want to embarrass Qin's envoy." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing embarrassing, you have to know the reason, I'll only tell you one thing: the Tao is different, don't conspire with each other." Li Zuo does have the grace to support me, but as I just said, I am only loyal to His Majesty. Private affairs are private affairs, and official affairs are public affairs. I am grateful to Li Zuoxiang privately, but I dare not agree with some of Li Zuoxiang's methods, which is why I left Li Zuoxiang. Facts have proved that the things that Li Zuoxiang was later found out about by Li Yong's case proved that Li Zuoxiang was flawed in being a courtier. Now that Li Zuoxiang has passed away, I don't want to be disrespectful to the deceased, and some words are inconvenient to say. That's all I have to say, I don't know if the second son can understand what I said? ”
An Qingxu was obviously dissatisfied with Wang Yuan's high-sounding words, shook his head and said: "Wang Qin's words are not leaky, since Li Zuo has the grace to support you, before Li Zuoxiang was found to be involved in Li Yong's case, Wang Qin's envoy switched to the Yang family, isn't this a betrayal?" ”
Wang Yuan smiled slightly and asked: "Second son, you don't understand what I said, so why don't you ask General Ling Zun'an, I believe General An will explain it clearly." General An, don't you say? ”
An Lushan was watching An Qingxu humiliate Wang Yuan with interest, but he didn't expect Wang Yuan to throw this topic to himself, and he was a little stunned: "Ben Shuai can't explain clearly, how did Wang Qin's envoy kick the ball to Ben Shuai, my Erlang asked you this question." ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "General An, you should explain it clearly, isn't General An's experience the same?" General An was originally a member of the Xi tribe, and he was raised by the Xi people since he was a child, but now he is a fierce general of my Tang Dynasty against the Xi people, isn't the thing that the second son is puzzled about is why such a thing happened? Isn't General An the most vocal? ”
Everyone on the seat widened their eyes in astonishment, this Wang Qin's envoy was too bold, and he actually pulled out An Lushan's old things, isn't this embarrassing An Lushan? The smile on An Lushan's face suddenly froze, the wine bowl in his hand shook a few times, and the wine spilled out, spilling on the placket and soaking a large piece of it.
"Wang Yuan, are you humiliating my father's background? Hello is bold. An Qingxu's face turned pale and shouted angrily.
Wang Yuan spread his hands innocently and said, "Why did the second prince say this? Isn't this the question that the second son wants to ask? I'm just making an analogy about General An's affairs so that the second son can understand. Isn't General An doing this because of righteousness? Although he received the grace of the Xi clan, it was a personal personal favor, and he stood firm in the righteousness, and did not give up the righteousness because of the favor, which is the reason why General An became the general of the border who everyone admired in my Tang Dynasty, and became the indestructible pillar of the Tang Dynasty in His Majesty's heart. Although the second son doesn't understand this when it is applied to me, but when it is used on General An, you should understand it. ”
An Qingxu didn't know how to answer, knowing that Wang Yuan was quibbling, but he couldn't say that what he said was wrong. He only froze in place, his face blue and red, and he didn't know what to do.
"Hahaha." An Lushan let out a shocking laugh, raised his big finger at Wang Yuan and stood up and said: "Wang Qin, who knows me, is also a handsome person, and his background is criticized, and someone says bad things about me in front of His Majesty, saying that I am a Hu person, how can I reuse the anti-Hu people." Ben Shuai never explains such idle gossip. What Wang Qin's envoy said just now is my inner words, and I don't bother to explain them with others. Erlang, you now know why your father said that you are not as good as Wang Qin's envoy. You don't understand what Wang Qin's envoy understands, and you may not understand what Wang Qin's envoy says, and if you don't step aside, what are you doing with the pestle? ”
An Qingxu stepped aside with a face full of shame, sat behind the desk and drank a bowl of spirits fiercely, but he drank too much and coughed constantly, which attracted everyone's attention, and he was even more ashamed.
An Lushan laughed and reclined on the big chair, put his feet on the corner of the table, and said: "Wang Qin's envoy is really a character, no wonder he can stand on the court with a cloth body." Interesting and interesting. ”
Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "I drank too much wine and spoke a little recklessly, please don't mind my rudeness." ”
An Lushan waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to mind, at least you're much better than those guys who beat around the bush and curse." When I heard you say that, I think there are similarities between your and my experiences. In fact, Ben Shuai doesn't care about someone chewing the root of his tongue behind his back, I, An Lushan, am a Hu person, so what? Heroes are not afraid of low backgrounds, they must look at their ability and ability. What about a lot of people who were born with a golden key? Wen can't make a fuss with a pen, Wu can't go on the horse to kill thieves, what kind of ability does it rely on the budding shadow of the ancestors? We and other people who were born in a reckless way still do not lose their golden branches and jade leaves, and they still respect the great righteousness and keep the great festival. Right, right, or not? ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "That's right. ”
Yan Zhuang took the lead in applauding, and everyone in the audience applauded and applauded endlessly.
An Lushan laughed and continued: "Wang Qin, let's make another bowl of wine, and I'll tell you about Ben Shuai's childhood and the affairs of this town." I won't talk about business today, and I will let Mr. Yan and An Qingxu accompany you to work with you tomorrow, and you can check how you want, in short, I will try my best to cooperate with you. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Very good, I was just wondering about some border towns, I heard about the battle with the Xi Khitan people in the capital, and my blood was surging when I heard it, but after all, it was hearsay." What came out of An Shuai's mouth was the right experience, and I could brag about it in front of my colleagues after returning to Beijing. ”
An Lushan laughed, raised the wine bowl and said, "I'll talk about it when I'm done." ”
Wang Yuan picked up a bowl full of wine, shook his neck and drank it dry, his body swayed, Gongsun Lan hurriedly supported him, Wang Yuan simply leaned on her shoulder, Gongsun Lan sighed secretly, reached out to support his waist, and ensured that Wang Yuan's body would not fall.
