"Hehe, Master Qingke is overrated, and I really didn't see it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info hesitated before, it was hesitation, not to see that he didn't say it! Mi Tong smiled slightly to dispel everyone's concerns. At this time, he is still low-key, after all, he still needs to rely on the jade power of the master of green carving; He didn't dare to hold it up in front of the master of Qingke, so as to give him a bad impression. Besides, he did suspect that the stone was not a jade before, but he was not very sure, and he did not see it, but it was real.

When the master of Qingke heard this, he also smiled, and he didn't take it too seriously. Everyone also laughed, although there was an element of ridicule, but it also eased the atmosphere.

At this time, the people of Doufu had already come to report: "The wine and food have been arranged, please come to the table and enjoy."

Dou Bobby took the opportunity to invite everyone in.

Sit down one by one. Although Mi Tong is not very old, he is the second son of Chu Jun, and his position is higher, only on the side of the main throne of Dou Bobby, which can be regarded as giving him enough face.

Dou Bobi first raised his glass and saluted everyone present one by one, and his words were all polite, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk, and then they began to slowly greet and discuss......

Some people are still in awe of Mi Tong's identity as the second son of the monarch, and they don't know the stakes between him and the prince, so they also praise Mi Tong's "great achievements" such as building a sacrificial rooftop and preventing plagues.

Mi Tong only nodded and promised, without saying anything about it, which was really perfunctory. Because he came to visit Dou Bobby, his real intention was to find Dou Bobby's support. At this time, he was trying to find a moment to whisper a few words with his little uncle, so as to understand what he meant; After all, the seats are next to each other, and the opportunity is rare.

"Little uncle, this lord will respect you and thank you for your hospitality!" In the end, when it was empty, Mi Tong hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and saluted Dou Bobby.

Dou Bobi is only one year older than Mi Tong, and his height is half a head shorter than Mi Tong, but his face and demeanor are much older; Especially his shrewd little eyes, which seem to be able to empty everything, and there is nothing to escape. As for Mi Tong's intentions, he may have guessed it a long time ago. He smiled slightly, raised the wine bottle, and drank it all. Only then did he say slowly: "Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, no matter how you say it, we are both members of the royal family of Chu." What Burbie wants is the strength of the Chu State, and what the prince has done recently and the contribution he has made to the Chu State is also in the eyes of Burbie. However, there are some things that are created by the times and the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, and Bobby will not allow others to make the Chu country chaotic in order to compete for fame and fortune. ”

When Mi Tong heard this, he secretly wondered in his heart: What does this Bobby mean? Striving for fame and fortune, the chaos of the Chu State, is this talking about himself, or is he talking about the prince? The times have created and the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, does it mean that it is too late now, and the crown prince's succession to the throne has become an established fact?

was thinking about it, but he heard Dou Bobby suddenly raise his voice and say to the audience: "Today's Zhuoyu, let Bobby understand a truth." That is, the real Baoyu will not show its edge too much. Like today, this piece of jade, born in the stone, but all of it is revealed, almost occupying one side of this stone, but it is finally unbearable, and after being carved by the jade worker, it has become a pile of waste stones. ”

"yes, yes!" The ministers who didn't know why echoed and pandered.

Mi informed that this was a metaphor for Dou Bobby, telling him to keep a low profile and not be too sharp? Also, after all, the prince is powerful now, even with his support from Bobby, I am afraid that he is not the prince's opponent. Although he was in the position of Xianyin, he had the right to control all the admonitions that were played; He also ordered the right Sima to command an army and be responsible for defending the vicinity of Danyang, the capital of Chu State. But the crown prince plus the army of the prince accounted for eighty percent of the entire Chu state; What's more, his father Ao Xiongkan likes the crown prince and wants the prince to inherit the throne. It's really providential......

Therefore, a shrewd person like Dou Bobbi can naturally see through this reason! Although he may also have some opinions on the "cave tragedy" launched by the crown prince Xiong Xuan, after all, there was no major chaos, and the danger factor was indeed much smaller than Mi Tong's desire to compete for the crown prince's position and initiate a partisan dispute. In his heart, as long as the Chu State is not chaotic, it is the truth to continue to develop and grow, as for whether it is a virtuous person to be the king of the Chu State, he doesn't care.

Mi Tong seems to have a slight understanding, just in the form in front of him, no one will openly challenge the authority of the prince. What's more, Dou Bobby, who doesn't want to see civil strife in Chu State!

Dou Bobbi said, laughing again, and continued: "It is the dragon that has to be coiled, and the tiger that has to lie down; It's Baoyu, or it's better to stay in the stone. The real jade jade, when you meet a real jade master, will naturally manifest without worrying about being buried. lest the situation is not right, and it is destroyed and ruined by some jade workers who do not know the goods, then it will be broken...... Childe said yes or no? ”

"Ugh!" Mi Tong was taken aback, and he didn't expect Dou Bobby to suddenly ask himself. I had to quickly nod yes.

It's just that Dou Bobby's statement is tantamount to clearly telling Mi Tong that in the current situation, it is impossible for him to stand on his side. Maybe he will remain independent without anyone next to each other, as he did before.

Mi Tong's heart was a little lost. However, Douboby's words are not unreasonable. At present, his side is relatively weak, and fighting with the prince is undoubtedly a stone with an egg, and the chance of winning is naturally not great. In this case, the more prominent he is, the more he will attract the jealousy of the prince. It's better not to be sharp, it's a piece of precious jade, and sooner or later it will be mined out, so what's the hurry......

It's just that these thoughts of Mi Tong are hidden in his heart and are not shown on the surface. On the banquet, it was toasted one by one, and Mi Tong naturally did not have a share, and he also specially asked the "master of green carving" to drink a few more glasses.

Master Qingke seems to have a different view of Mitong, and agreed to Mitong's request, saying that if he has time in the future, he will definitely visit Mitong's mansion to study the study of jade......

Mi Tong was naturally pleased, and it was not for nothing.

It wasn't until the evening that the banquet was over, and everyone left the table one after another. Mi Tong also felt that it was not good to stay here any longer, so he got up and said goodbye.

Dou Bobi did not deliberately stay with each other, and only exchanged two pleasantries with Mi Tong, which was also considered etiquette.

After finishing it, Mi Tong took Yongxiao and walked out of the gate of Doufu.

The breeze all the way, blowing a slightly drunk Mitong, was even more confused. When I walked to a remote alley, I felt that someone was chasing after me.

Yongxiao naturally noticed it a long time ago, and was stunned between the person who came and Mi Tong, and took precautions.

When Mi Tong slowly turned around and saw the face of the person clearly, he realized that it was a false alarm. This person is the butler of the Doufu.

Mi Tong frowned slightly, he didn't know what he meant, and was about to speak, but he heard the housekeeper of the Doufu Mansion already say:

"Childe was in a hurry just now, and I didn't have time to give a gift to Childe, but at this moment, my master ordered me to send it, please accept it!"

Mi Tong nodded, knowing that this was customary. According to the weekly etiquette, when you go to visit the elders' homes, you must bring some gifts, but when you come back, the other party will naturally return the gift, which is the so-called courtesy. Go to him first and bring a tiger skin, leave at this time, and it is normal to receive a return gift.

Thinking about it, he ordered Yongxiao to take the gift, it was a small wooden box, but as for what was in the wooden box, I didn't know. Mi Tong thought that he couldn't open this wooden box in front of others. I had to give another salute to the housekeeper and let him thank Lord Xianyin.

The housekeeper of Doufu paused for a moment, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said to Mi Tong again: "My master still has two words for me to pass on to my son, that is, although the current situation is unfavorable to my son, my son must not sink into passivity; For things that are beneficial to the Chu State, the prince still has to take care of it more. And suggested that it is better for Gongzi to leave the capital Danyang, after all, Gongzi's current mansion in the capital is a corner of the palace of the King of Chu, and if the new monarch ascends the throne in the future, it will be difficult for Gongzi to live there anymore. So that at that time, it is better to leave now and prepare in advance. Fortunately, Gongzi got a fief of fifty miles not long ago, why don't Gongzi go to his own fiefdom and manage it well, it can be regarded as attacking and retreating......"

Mi Tong listened, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened. Indeed, staying in this Chu capital Danyang City is like being imprisoned with your feet, and the slightest movement will be known; Only when he returned to his fiefdom was the wild horse unleashed and the dragon entered the water. Because for the dynasty with a feudal system at this time, its own fief can be completely decided by itself, and you can set up temples and state weapons in your own territory, and recruit your own army and private soldiers. As long as you pay tribute to the country on time, no one will care about you. When the strength is great, no one can control it. Just like the various vassal states and the Zhou dynasty today; As the Son of Heaven, the Zhou Dynasty still had to act according to the color of the major vassal states, and in some major events, it also sent envoys to attend, which was ostensibly a reward, but in fact it was to curry favor.

Also, only when you have the power to be a soldier in your own hands will you not be controlled by others. With the knowledge of his later generations, he did not believe that he could not govern a small Jingshan.

Thinking about it, Mi Tong bowed to the butler of Doufu again, and entrusted him to thank Dou Bobby. The butler of the Doufu smiled slightly, returned the salute with his fists, and turned around and left in a hurry.

When he walked away, Mi Tongcai slowly came back to his senses, and at the same time opened the gift box in Yongxiao's hand. I saw that there was a broken stone mixed with a few pieces of broken jade, which was the piece of waste jade carved during the day!

Seeing it, Mi Tong smiled, thinking that it was quite interesting to come to this Dou Bobby, and he actually gave such a gift, is it a wake-up call for him? It's okay, then take it, after all, people are also kind......
