Chapter 251: Discord

Mentioning this topic, Tan Weiying sighed and said, "."

The cause of the matter is not complicated. It was on the road, at a certain banquet, Concubine Lian Changling asked the young Tan Weiya to make a poem in a milky voice, and the little guy's face was flushed, so he forced a poem. In fact, for a child, even being able to make a song is already very remarkable. Tan Weiying originally thought that Tan Weiya's little brother was really powerful. But what happened at the feast soon began to make her feel unappetizing. The child's immature work was immediately touted as a masterpiece by some people, and the little talent that a child might have was immediately greatly expanded. It was just that the sours present were so tossed, but someone actually thought of Tan Weiying's identity as a famous cultural patron and a famous cultural critic, and asked her opinion.

"If you train it properly, you may not be able to write masterpieces in the future." She said it very pertinently. In fact, this sentence was already very face-saving, but what I didn't expect was that this sentence instantly chilled the whole field. This sentence of Tan Weiying partially affirms the IQ of Tan Weiya's little brother and the successful children's education so far, nothing more, far from Chang Ling's favorite toution.

If that's the case, forget it, there is actually a famous literati in Chunnan who wants to please Chang Ling and wants to admonish Tan Weiying, making her feel that the poems are excellent. Unexpectedly, Tan Weiying, who was a little annoyed, said in front of everyone at the banquet: "I naturally like my little brother, but except for the family banquet that we don't think is the same as you, I really haven't been close to Weiya." I'm not you, so I need to be a sycophant. Besides, the kid is so annoying that he can't make me lie and brag about it. ”

This sentence undoubtedly has negative effects such as wide range petrification, slowing down, and dizziness, and the already somewhat stiff scene immediately cools down to below zero. And after saying this. Tan Weiying got up and left the banquet nonchalantly, and when he turned around, he summoned the troupe and those young scholars to leave the brigade and take a step ahead. That's basically what the conflict looks like.

Regarding such a situation, Ye Tao was also a little speechless. Tan Weiying didn't say a word of falsehood.

Concubine Lian Chang Ling was not a likable character in the first place, she never got married because of her bad personality, and finally ended up becoming a bargaining chip in the alliance between the two countries, and finally had a good home. Her exclusive enjoyment of the Golden Valley Garden did make her identity a little unusual, and on the surface, she was indeed quite favored by Tan Xiaopei. is different from Queen Zhuoxiu, who does not say a word about any political affairs. Concubine Lian likes to ask about all kinds of things, and those officials who ask her, if they are sincere enough, can indeed let her blow the pillow. As for her method of raising Tan Weiya, she almost isolated Tan Weiya from the whole family, purely according to her own ideas, regardless of the harmonious atmosphere that the Tan family has always had, and also did not take into account the tradition that the Tan family has always indulged in children to play happily, and has been raising Tan Weiya by talking to herself. These behaviors made the brothers and sisters of the Tan family very dissatisfied. At this time, Tan Weiying blatantly did not give Chang Ling face. completely tore his face and exposed the contradiction in front of everyone.

Chang Ling knew that no matter whether it was status or popularity, she couldn't compare with Tan Weiying, so naturally she didn't dare to do anything. Afterwards, I just smashed something.

Ye Tao smiled and said, "This is the time to save relatives." I'm afraid Chunnan's sour Confucians won't be so pestering, right? ”

Tan Weiying shook his head and said, "No." What they are asking of us this time is too big. This is still just inquired, saying that Chunnan may want to counterattack Xiling, and Dongping needs to provide a large number of weapons, ballistas, fire oil bombs, horses, and the like. It seems that we need to send some cavalry generals to help Chunnan bring the cavalry army up quickly. Between allies. With such a large amount of things, the difference between the top and bottom of the loose mouth is a lot of silver. Moreover, it should be different when training the army without effort and being conscientious and responsible. Otherwise, we have sent a lot of sergeants to help in Chunnan, why do we have to mention this matter specifically? ”

Ye Tao's brows tangled, and asked, "Is this news true?" ”

Tan Weiying shook his head and said, "It's the one called ...... The students of the Guozijian who called the district song heard the ground when they were drinking. Ou Ge came to me to report the matter, and I turned it around and asked someone from the Intelligence Bureau to investigate. But. Whoever said this from the intelligence bureau actually had similar news for a long time, so this time an official of sufficient level was needed to be fully responsible for the negotiation. Didn't that call you? You don't know? ”

"......I don't know," Ye Tao was stunned, "No one has ever told me." ”

Tan Weiying suddenly realized: "No wonder the more you embarrass the Chunnan Mission, the happier your father is, it turns out that he is going to make them think that you are not easy to deal with, and your temper is stubborn and eccentric, so that when you negotiate, you can sit on the ground and raise the price." …… Father is really skilled at doing this kind of thing. Then you can rest assured. It is estimated that the paperwork will be coming soon. ”

"Me? Stubborn and eccentric? Not easy to deal with? Ye Tao said aggrievedly. Then he shouted to the heavens and said: "Wronged! ”

Hahahaha...... Tan Weiying and Dai Qiuyan hugged each other and laughed.

However, the information revealed by Tan Weiying seems to have its own reasonable and reliable points. At least Ye Tao himself had no doubt about His Majesty's intention to treat himself as a cow and a horse. Since there were enough people in his hands now, Ye Tao quietly ordered to go down and began to inquire about the various situations in Yuhang now. Although it may be a bit improvised, you may be able to see something from the clues.

Sure enough, a few guys from the special battalion quickly figured out the movements of several important people in Yuhang now. Originally, Ye Tao was still wondering, why Chang Hongquan left Concubine Lian and his party, and returned to Yuhang first but didn't come to find him much, except for a hurried bump of the head and said hello, there was no further negotiation, it turned out that Chang Hongquan was immediately summoned by the lord of Chunnan as soon as he returned to Yuhang, and stayed in the palace for several days, as if there was something important to discuss. And just yesterday morning, General Chen Xujing, the only one in Chunnan who can be called a cavalry general, came to Yuhang in a very low-key manner, and was summoned to the palace in the afternoon. At the same time, there are many people who have been in and out of the palace in the past few days. Although it is impossible to know what these people are discussing from those servants who are not of high status, it is impossible to know what these people are discussing, but to be able to bring these people together will definitely not be to discuss the arrangements of Concubine Lian's provincial relatives. It's like if in Danyang, if Tan Xiaopei summons Zhuo Mang, Chi Xianping, Xu Jingtian and others for a few days in a row, everyone's reaction will inevitably be whether there will be a war soon. Even if these people really put together a table of mahjong for entertainment, not many people will believe it when it spreads.

"My lord," just when Ye Tao was pondering how large-scale action Chunnan might have, what kind of cooperation Dongping might need, and how much time it would take to quietly arrange things in place without letting Xiling know as much as possible and then suddenly launch it, Feng Tao suddenly came to Ye Tao's side and asked with some interest: "There is a banquet tonight, I don't know if you have time to take a look?" ”

"Banquet?" Ye Tao slanted at Feng Hao, he knew that things would definitely not be so simple. Feng Hao's temperament is very similar to him, and he stays away from all kinds of banquets, so that Feng Hao can deliberately mention it in front of him, and obviously suggest that he go to the banquet, it will definitely not be ordinary.

"yes. Song Miao, the Duke of Dayan, hosted a banquet in the mansion tonight, nominally to celebrate his grandson's third birthday. The Da Yan Gong sent someone to send a post, and the person who came also specially explained that among the guests were Juxian Wang and Chen Xujing and others. Although Mr. Guishan Jiang Yan is not a guest at the banquet, he will attend in the middle of the banquet. Feng Hao said with a smile.

"Who is this Mr. Guishan?" Ye Tao asked suspiciously.

"This ......", Feng Hao didn't expect Ye Tao to not know Jiang Yan, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while. My lord, didn't you already prepare a very comprehensive document on the situation of Chunnan before you set off? Or did you ask the intelligence bureau to send it to you, why haven't you read it? ”

Ye Tao replied without shame: "It's one thing to be ready, it's another thing to use it or not, and it's another thing to have time to read it." ”

Feng Hao sighed and introduced: "Mr. Guishan Jiang Yan is the son of Mr. Jiang Yan, the current lord of Chunnan, when he was still the prince, and the son of Mr. Jiang Xu. After Jiang Xu's death, Jiang Yan has been taken care of by the lord of Chunnan, and he himself is extraordinary. Eleven years ago, Jiang Yan participated in the imperial examination ceremony in Chunnan under the pseudonym Yan Jiang, and won the top prize, and was recognized by the lord of Chunnan during the palace examination. The lord of Chunnan was originally going to make great use of this Jiang Yan, but this guy was in very bad health, and being an official was a heavy burden for him. Now, he is almost the most important advisor of the Chunnan Lord. Usually he rarely speaks, but whenever he says anything, there is almost nothing that is not adopted. Everyone else doesn't care, in fact, this banquet is very strangely high because of Jiang Yan's attendance. ”

"You mean, this is an under-the-table meeting? The Lord of Chunnan wants to probe my bottom? After Feng Wei said this, Ye Tao also understood.

Feng Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "It should be so." After all, whether it is you or Her Royal Highness Princess Embroidery, more than half of the key figures of the younger generation in Dongping disagree with Chunnan, and they have always been quite complaining about their marriage and alliance with Chunnan. The fall out between Her Royal Highness Princess Embroidery and Concubine Lian must have reached the ears of the Lord of Chunnan. Before he's sure what he can negotiate, he'll know if it's worthwhile to talk to you. Suddenly, Feng Hao smiled again and continued: "Actually, the Lord of Chunnan is too worried. As long as there is a need for cooperation between countries, even if there is a common enmity, they can sit down and talk together. What's more, Ye Jingluo, you just don't like Concubine Lian. In addition, the youngest daughter of Da Yan Gong is Song Xiangyun, the first beauty in Chunnan. It is said that the person who almost occupied the current position of Concubine Lian back then, just to pay homage to the beauty, this banquet also has a lot to go. ”

Feng Wei's statement was neither solemn nor polite, but it did show the value of this banquet.
