The emperor was about to arrive in the East China Sea Kingdom, but the right patrol emperor Qu Zixi announced that he would rest for a day, and no one was allowed to disturb his rest unless the holy decree came. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the East China Sea Kingdom, the right patrol imperial history is the highest commander, and no one dares to object to this, so he can only slander it.
The emperor wanted to stay in the East China Sea for at least five days, and there was a lot of local preparations, and the precursor arrived three days in advance and put forward many opinions, each of which could keep the East China Sea State government busy from top to bottom for a while, and Qu Zixi, who was resting, was even more prominent.
Wang Pingyang is a native of Linzi, not too far from the East China Sea, and the Wang family is found out by the East China Sea, he is considered to have returned to his hometown, and the treatment he receives is different from that of others, and everywhere he goes, there is always a large group of officials to follow, and the Minister of State Yan Kang is even more inseparable.
"Your Majesty is thrifty, these sheds have been demolished, and these houses have been re-sold? The shop signs are all new, right? Alas, you people, I really don't know how to say it, make it so obvious, Your Majesty can see the flaw at a glance. All for it, for it all to the way it was before. ”
Someone whispered that there are less than three days left, and the time may be a little too late.
"Brother, I know it's difficult, but what's the solution? Want to save a little more? It's easy, let's do nothing, and when Your Majesty comes, Long Yan is furious, let's go home and farm together. ”
The officials immediately apologized in a panic, and Yan Kang vowed that the street would be restored to its original appearance within two days.
After the inspection, Wang Pingyang went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to attend the banquet, and frowned as soon as he entered the hall, "What's the matter, I said that I was frugal all the way, my mouth is dry here, and you still make this one?" ”
There were three tables in the hall, which were full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and several beautiful women stood around, holding wine jugs in their hands.
Yan Kang said with a smile: "Lord Wang said to be thrifty, this is thrift." ”
Wang Pingyang was stunned, "Is it because I have been away from home for too long?" The frugality of the East Sea Province is different from that of other places. ”
Yan Kang invited Wang Pingyang to sit at the table, and there were only three people at their table, and the other officials were tightly packed around the other two tables.
Yan Kang picked up the wine glass first, Wang Pingyang also picked it up, only smelling a strange fragrance, and the maid behind him came to pour the wine and smiled at him.
Wang Pingyang glanced at it and hurriedly blocked the mouth of the cup, "Lord Yan, if you don't say it clearly, I don't dare to drink this wine." ”
Yan Kang said with a smile: "Lord Wang doesn't know, these wines and dishes are local specialties of the East China Sea Kingdom, originally intended to receive Your Majesty, we think simply, thinking that it doesn't cost much, and it is quite frugal. But the things are ready, and no matter how little money is used, it will be cost, so you can't just throw them away, wouldn't that be even more wasteful? ”
Wang Pingyang pondered for a moment, "So we're cleaning up the food that His Majesty doesn't eat?" ”
"That's right, Lord Wang, you have to forgive us for not preparing a special table for you."
"It's okay, it's better this way, be frugal, and you must be thrifty." Wang Pingyang moved his hand, and the maid poured the wine again, almost sticking to the adult's body, Wang Pingyang was distracted, and he didn't drink the wine yet, and he was already three points drunk.
The officials took turns to come forward to toast, climb fellow villagers, and discuss friendships, all of them were familiar at first sight, and two of them talked about it, and they were really distant relatives with Wang Pingyang.
Both the guest and the host were very happy, and Yan Kang hinted that there were a lot of things that he wanted to give to the emperor but withdrew, and if Lord Wang didn't dislike it, he could take them.
Wang Pingyang didn't dislike it, he felt that along the way, it was the officials of the East China Sea Country who were the best at doing things, but he was also a little worried, glanced at the other person at the same table with his eyes, and whispered: "No problem, right?" ”
The waiter of the military department is named Zhang Qing, he came relatively early, and he has already become close friends with the local officials, Yan Kang laughed and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, Lao Zhang is his own person, His Majesty doesn't want it, give it to Lord Wang, and what Lord Wang doesn't want, only give it to Lao Zhang." ”
Wang Pingyang hurriedly arched his hand to Zhang Qing and said: "Don't you dare, Master Zhang is a squire of the Ministry of War, and his grade is higher than mine, I am a minor official of the Ministry of Rites, and I came late, how can I win the beauty of people?" Master Zhang, you pick first. ”
Zhang Qing hurriedly put down his wine glass, "Lord Wang is too polite, the people in our military department are real, Lord Wang wants to carry something, look for me, I can provide one or two hundred people, don't say who is higher and who is lower, who comes first and who comes later, everyone is a friend, Lord Wang is late, you should pick first." ”
The three of them laughed at the same time, and the officials at the other table also laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more warm and harmonious.
Drinking and drinking, Wang Pingyang suddenly frowned, put down the wine glass, and asked, "Why didn't Qu Yushi come?" ”
Everyone in the East China Sea Kingdom hehe, Zhang Qing said: "Qu Yushi is resting today, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb him." ”
"Rest? Your Majesty is coming, everyone is busy, but Qu Yushi wants to rest? ”
"Qu Yushi said that his duty is to supervise the investigation of the case and not to participate in the affairs of the driver."
"W-What is this called? Everyone has a duty, so do they all ignore Your Majesty? ”
Yan Kang whispered: "The new official has three fires, and Qu Yushi is on the fire, let's not mess with him." ”
"Hey, he thinks that he can serve as a teacher for His Majesty for a few days, right?"
Yan Kang said with a smile: "It's just one day, we should be able to leave the house tomorrow, we are all used to it, Lord Wang also endures it, maybe Qu Yushi doesn't know that Lord Wang is coming." ”
Wang Pingyang was enraged, beckoned to the door, called his entourage, and said loudly: "Go, send a greeting note to Lord Yushi of the Right Patrol, and say that I will visit the door before dark." ”
Yan Kang and Zhang Qing hurriedly dissuaded them, but Wang Pingyang insisted even more, asked his entourage to set off immediately, and then said, "Look at your appearance, what are you afraid of?" I didn't do anything out of line, but I just wanted to come to the door to say hello in person, I didn't think he was the right patrol of the imperial history, just as he was His Majesty's teacher, I was His Majesty's relative, and I arrived in advance on behalf of His Majesty, of course, I wanted to meet. Don't worry, Qu Yushi will definitely see me, he has been outside for a long time and needs to learn about His Majesty's movements from me. ”
The officials chimed in.
Not long after, the attendant returned, walked up to the master, and whispered a few words.
"What? Qu Yushi doesn't accept the sticker? Wang Pingyang was furious, "Did you tell who I am?" ”
The entourage nodded, "Yes, but over there, except for the holy decree, nothing will be accepted, except for Your Majesty, nothing will be seen." ”
Wang Pingyang was furious, and he shot the case, startling the maid behind him, and spilled a lot of wine.
"It's crazy, he hasn't become the prime minister yet, where did he get his temper?"
Yan Kang pulled Wang Pingyang to sit down, and said with a smile: "Yushi is an official, and he doesn't like to contact other officials, so he should be." ”
"Am I a 'other official'? In terms of official position, I won't go to see him, isn't it for the sake of the people around His Majesty to give him a little face? ”
"Qu Yushi...... How to say it, he reads a lot of books, sees less things, and pays attention to 'heaven and earth monarchs', in his eyes, the teacher is afraid that the teacher is more important than his relatives. ”
"'Pro' can be in front of 'Division'!" Wang Pingyang became more and more annoyed.
The officials stepped forward to toast and comfort, these people are all old foxes, saying that they are persuasive, but secretly they are pouring wine on the fire, Wang Pingyang wanted to say a few words and passed, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't drink anymore, and said goodbye to everyone, and he had to go to see Qu Zixi in person.
"Did he think he would be prime minister? With one word, he couldn't even keep his current position. ”
The officials blocked Wang Pingyang all the way out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he got outside, no one followed.
Qu Zixi's residence was very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was getting late, Wang Pingyang drank a lot, and he didn't ride a horse, under the guidance of his entourage, he quickly came to the front of the house and ordered someone to go up and smash the door.
Not long after, the door opened, and out of it came a young servant, looked at it a few times, and asked, "Who is it?" What's the matter? ”
As soon as the wind blew, Wang Pingyang sobered up, didn't dare to attack immediately, and stepped forward and said: "Wang Pingyang, the counselor of the lower rite department and the former envoy of the patrol hunting, has come to meet Lord Shi Qu, the right patrol. ”
The young man frowned slightly, "Didn't you tell your people?" Mr. Qu is not here today, so let's come back tomorrow. ”
The young man retreated to the door and was about to close the door, Wang Pingyang took a step forward and stretched out his hand to block it, "Have you reported to Master Qu?" ”
"Mr. Qu is resting, I can't bother, how can I report it?"
"It's better for you to report it, Master Qu definitely won't blame you, he knows me...... You should know me. ”
The boy shook his head, "Sir's words are very clear, I can't disobey them. And Mr. knows a lot of people, everyone is like you, and they will never have a chance to rest. ”
Wang Pingyang was annoyed and angry, and only felt that all the officials were watching from afar, and if he returned in vain, he would become a laughing stock, and what kind of face did he have to accept "what His Majesty doesn't want"?
"I'm not an ordinary person, my surname is Wang, and I'm His Majesty's cousin."
"Your Majesty has a lot of relatives, Mr. Qu didn't say which one can be seen, you still ......"
Wang Pingyang rushed forward, bumped into the young man, and said loudly: "It's not so difficult for me to see the emperor. Qu Yushi! Lord Qu! Qu Zixi! ”
The young man wanted to stop him, but several of Wang Pingyang's entourage rushed in and opened the way for the master, but the young man couldn't stop him at all.
Wang Pingyang strode inside, went straight to the main room, there was no one inside, he looked for a few more rooms, but no one was found, turned around and asked the entourage to grab the young man, and asked sharply: "Where is Qu Yushiren?" Where are you hiding? Say it quickly, or ......"
With a cough behind him, Wang Pingyang turned around, recognized it as Qu Zixi, and immediately smiled and bowed, "Qu Yushi, I can be regarded as seeing you, in Xia Wang Pingyang, it is the precursor of the hunting patrol, I just arrived today, and I am here to greet you." ”
Qu Zixi nodded, turned around and walked to a room, Wang Pingyang stepped to follow, turned around and glared at the young man, he would complain later.
This is a study, Qu Zixi walked to the table, still did not speak, studied ink by himself, picked up a pen to write, Wang Pingyang stood aside, and said with a smile: "Qu Yushi, is this a meditation to close the mouth?" It's a good thing Your Majesty didn't arrive early, otherwise you would be in trouble. ”
Qu Zixi wrote very quickly, put down the pen after finishing, and turned around to signal Wang Pingyang to come over.
Wang Pingyang walked to the table, looked at it a few times, and was so frightened that his whole body was soft, it was an impeachment, pointing directly at him, the precursor of the hunting patrol, saying that he drank promisciously and did not know etiquette.
Wang Pingyang woke up for seven minutes, knelt down, and was about to plead, Qu Zixi waved his hand, Wang Pingyang was stunned for a moment, then understood, got up and grabbed the impeachment note on the table, turned around and ran.
The young man came over and closed the door, and Qu Zixi stood in front of the table without moving.
Wang Pingyang didn't notice that there was still a piece of paper on the table, with several names written on it, Huang Pugong, Yan Kang, Lu Dapeng, Zhao Hao, Nan Zhijin and others were all listed.
Qu Zixi picked up his pen, added Wang Pingyang's name, thought for a moment, and drew a circle outside the three words "Nanzhijin".
This day's silent thinking had some effect, and Qu Zixi felt that he had seen a flaw. (To be continued.) )
