Chapter 164: Patience One or Two
King Qin reprimanded angrily: "Yuan Ji! Xue Jungong is a meritorious hero who has contributed to the country's social service, why is he so offended? Apologize! ”
After King Qin finished scolding, Li Yuan's face flashed with a sudden look, and he said sharply: "Yuan Ji, apologize to Xue Jungong!" ”
The crown prince followed knowingly: "Yuanji! ”
Xue Lang sighed silently in his heart, and took the initiative to say: "Please sage, prince, and King Qin to calm their anger, such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning, why use King Qi to apologize!" What's more, this incident did happen, since King Qi asked, Weichen would say the reason. ”
That's a question that shouldn't have been asked!
To ask is to provoke the relationship between the prince and the king of Qin, and trap Xue Lang in injustice. Not to mention anything else, Xue Lang is a hero who has just been sealed, although it is not a merit like military merit, but the contribution of high-yield grain varieties can be said to be in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future, and it is also a real merit for the family and the country, if Li Yuan has the courage, how can he allow his son to ask Xue Lang so much!
This behavior is called insulting heroes at worst, and framing Zhongliang at worst, so what do the rest of the ministers think? Co-authored hard work and meritorious service, and contributed to your Li Tang Dynasty, just such a treatment? Isn't it chilling! To put it seriously, Datang has just established the country, and doing so will shake the country's foundation!
Again, use the heroes who have just been sealed to provoke the relationship between the prince and the king of Qin, not to mention that the prince and the king of Qin are both brothers of the king of Qi and his mother, you are the younger brother, so provoke the relationship between the two elder brothers, what kind of behavior is this?
insulting meritorious heroes, framing loyalty, and shaking the country's foundation are regarded as disloyalty; The emperor is his father, and if he shakes the national capital of the Tang Dynasty, he shakes his father's throne, and he is regarded as unfilial piety; Stirring up a relationship between two brothers is regarded as unrighteousness!
The earth-shattering charge of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice is only one unkindness!
It is also very simple to find this unkindness, I heard that the favorite game of this Qi king is to divide his soldiers into two sides, attack each other, and play a game of war until one of them is disabled or even killed. In addition, when he was the governor of the state, he also liked to shoot arrows at the crowd, watch the crowd hide for fun, etc., and the unkind behavior is simply countless.
If Xue Lang cares about him, it won't be too easy! It's just that the King of Qi is the son and son of the sage Li Yuan, one of his sons-in-law, if Xue Lang does this, Li Yuan will be forced to deal with Li Yuanji's crimes today due to the situation, but what about the future?
It's boring to talk to someone who doesn't live long. Xue Lang is willing to be magnanimous and not to deal with him, but it does not mean that he agrees with Li Yuanji's contemptuous approach today.
So, Xue Lang said: "The reason why Weichen treats the King of Qin and the prince differently is because the content of the conversation between the prince and the King of Qin is different. What the prince asked Weichen was a business matter, and he took it as a business and took it seriously; What King Qin and Weichen said was a private anecdote, so naturally there was no need to purge it. Xue Lang is clumsy, he does not have the talent of being exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and the only thing he can do is to adhere to principles and distinguish between public and private. The reason, but that's all, I don't know if King Qi is satisfied? ”
Li Yuanji sneered, and before he could say anything, he looked up and found that not only King Qin, but even the saint was looking at him coldly, seeing the prince shaking his head vaguely, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he said stupidly: "Thank you Xue Jungong for solving your doubts." ”
Xue Lang politely: "Don't dare!" ”
Li Yuan snorted and said, "King Qi is presumptuous, rude in words and deeds, and will be fined for three years as a warning." Let's go home first, you don't need to participate in today's banquet. ”
Li Yuanjiwu was unconvinced: "Aya! ”
Li Yuan shouted: "Stand down!" ”
Li Yuanji saluted and retired, and before leaving, he glanced at Xue Lang. The old god Xue Lang is here, and he is not afraid.
The sage drove away Li Yuanji, who was distracted, turned to Xue Lang, and praised: "Xue Lang is loyal and upright, and his character is precious, which is very rare, and he is specially rewarded with a thousand silk horses, so as to encourage!" ”
"Thank you, saint."
This is a disagreement and a sprinkling of money! It's cool to have a local tyrant's father, you don't have to be responsible for making mistakes, just send it away with money! I hate this attribute of local tyrants the most! Xue Lang complained silently in his heart, this is still a local tyrant who can't be refused! Heart congestion!
After Qi King Li Yuanji made such a fuss, the atmosphere naturally couldn't catch up with the enthusiasm and interest at the beginning, but everyone here was a human spirit, and naturally they would not show their true thoughts in their hearts, everyone was still smiling and talking in a low voice, which seemed to be very lively, but smart people could see that the atmosphere was not as good as before.
Xue Lang knelt on his seat, and tasted the palace dishes with a natural expression, compared to the dishes of the Princess's Mansion, the taste and method were almost the same, that is, there were more dishes, and there was wine.
After Li Yuan raised his glass, the ministers also raised their glasses, and after that, the prince and the king of Qin congratulated the sage on today's grand event, and then the ministers. When it was Xue Lang's turn, Xue Lang said: "Weichen congratulates the saint, Weichen is clumsy and can't speak, only three glasses of wine, salute the saint, congratulations to the saint!" ”
After speaking, he drank three cups directly, his face was not red, his breath was not panting, and his eyebrows did not move. It is true that the wine in this palace is much lighter than the outside.
Li Yuan smiled and said hello three times in a row, and drank a cup of face very much. King Qin playfully said: "Saint, Xue Jungong has already performed his magic skills, please be careful, don't get drunk." ”
Xue Lang was stunned, Li Yuan laughed loudly, and said jokingly: "What the people of the world remind is that Xue Qing's family, Wanwang Cup is merciful." ”
After that, whether it was a toast to Xue Lang or a return salute from Xue Lang, he would be teased, and someone always teased him and told him not to use his magic powers.
Xue Lang was speechless with a smile, the people he wanted to pour wine had been driven back by the saints, and the people who were left behind were all quite restrained people, and they couldn't be drunk at all. If King Qi stayed, with King Qi's arrogant and youthful heart, Xue Lang would still be very sure to get him drunk, but unfortunately, he was driven back by the sage. Is this the saint protecting his son or appeasing the heroes? It doesn't feel intimate at all.
The joke is a joke, the palace is feasting, and a few people will be really drunk, everyone has paid attention to it, of course, there is no way to stand the overturned boat in the gutter, accidentally drunk, but, don't worry, there is a waiter next to him, and the little maid at home will also follow when he goes to court, and someone will send it out. If you want to happen in TV dramas, drunk and bumping into concubines, molesting palace maids and the like, it's basically impossible, you are a dead man when you are a Praetorian Guard!
In the end, Xue Lang drank a jar of wine alone, except for feeling that he wanted to go to the toilet, he was not half drunk, and he left the palace very soberly.
Li Yuan specially issued a warrant to the ministers attending the banquet, Xue Lang was allowed to live in a hotel in the inner city to entertain foreign guests, and after the court meeting tomorrow, the sage would send someone to take him to the mansion given to him.
