After a brief salute, General Li also noticed the confusion between the other party's expressions, and followed the other party's gaze, but saw Shen Wuyan nodding to the tall man.

Only then did General Li realize that the other party was looking for Shen Wuyan instead of himself, but fortunately, the other party also sold his face, otherwise he really didn't know how to end it, so he immediately hugged his fist at the other party to express his gratitude.

The tall man then clenched his fists and said lightly: "In the next Zhang Juzheng...... He is an old friend of Mr. Shen...... Why don't you go and sit down there with the two of us? ”

looked in the direction of Zhang Juzheng's finger, but saw that the banquet staff had already sat down, and they were all people who had been in the forefront before, far from being qualified to sit with people like him.

Suddenly, he was about to refuse, but unexpectedly, Shen Wuyan hurriedly stepped forward to grab General Li's arm, and laughed: "Why is the general polite...... Let's go through it together. ”

Although there were some particularities during the banquet, there were no hard and fast rules, and there was nothing unjustifiable for General Li to sit down there, except that there were all kinds of inconveniences in talking with these high-ranking officials.

However, since the two of them were invited, he was not good at refusing, so he followed Shen Wuyan towards the banquet.

In addition to the six Shangshu seats, the rest is the cabinet elder, and the first seat is the crown prince Zhu Yijun, he is young, sitting in this middle, it is really a little weird.

However, he is young and old, and no one dares to ask him for a penny at this banquet, even if he is very respectful.

Zhu Yijun didn't say much, except for a few words of greeting, but other officials were talking, so he listened to it, even if there was something unpleasant, he didn't refute it.

At this time, the King of Zining was the most interested, probably after drinking a few glasses of wine, his face became even redder, he raised his glass to everyone in the audience, and said loudly; "When we meet for the first time, please take care of ...... adults."

This is the common persuasion at the wine table, so the officials did not refuse. Besides, in front of the prince today, he resolutely did not dare to insult the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and he naturally dared to accompany him with just a glass of wine.

After a glass of wine, Gao Gong pursed his lips, smiled faintly, and got up and said, "King Zining has come from afar...... I, the Ming Dynasty and the Li Dynasty, have also been friends for many years, and it is really rare to meet here this time......"

In this way, you said a word to me, but I also drank five, six, seven, eight cups, and everyone had red cheeks, except for Gao Gong and the military department, several officials next to him were already a little drunk.

King Zining has been walking among the ranks all these years, and the amount of wine is really good, so a few glasses are nothing, but when he saw that the officials in the field were already drunk, he was secretly happy in his heart.

It's just that when he saw that the crown prince Zhu Yijun still had an indifferent expression, he was a little unconvinced. But the other party also drank these wines, and he was not yet fifteen years old, so he had such a large amount of alcohol, which was far from being comparable to him.

There was suddenly unwillingness in his heart, but because of the identity of the other party's prince, he didn't say much, but he underestimated that the other party drank water, in short, he didn't believe that this young prince had such a lot of alcohol.

Looking around like this, he hurriedly got up, walked to the prince with a wine jug, and laughed: "The prince is young and promising...... What's the point if I pour the wine for you myself? ”

When the ministers on one side saw King Zining's posture, they thought that he had bad intentions, and they were all shocked, but they were dizzy and had no time to stop him. Fortunately, the other party just poured wine and finally let go of this heart.

Zhu Yijun didn't expect the other party to come over to pour wine, but it was too late to stop him, the wine was already full, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

The husband has always taught him to drink less, so he still doesn't know much about drinking, except for toasting the elders in the palace and the emperor during the New Year's holidays, there is no good drinking.

Today's banquet for this King of Zining is also afraid of drinking and making mistakes, but if he doesn't drink, he can't say it, so he simply replaces wine with tea, and he doesn't say it explicitly.

This matter has often happened in the past, most of the envoys will understand his young age, and will not debunk it, after all, it is just a meaning, the form can be reached, which Cheng wants to be in this Zining King today, but there is a mess.

The ministers in the field naturally didn't know the reason, and they all thought that this King Zining was very respectful to the prince, and secretly thought that the prestige of the Ming Dynasty was really prosperous, and it was a good thing to let the prince of the Li Dynasty personally pour wine for the prince.

It's just that Gao Gong, who was sitting next to the prince, understood the truth, he couldn't help but glance at the prince with a distressed face, and couldn't help but whisper: "The prince has already drunk a lot...... This cup of the prince is not as good as ......"

"Does the old man of the high pavilion have to replace the crown prince?" King Zining's words were very joking, but they had all kinds of meanings when everyone in the audience heard them.

He didn't say that he drank alcohol instead of the prince, but only said that he was replacing the prince, but it made people feel that Gao Gong was suspected of rebellion. Even if this sin is high, it is not willing to bear it easily.

Gao Gong was suddenly a little angry, but he was not angry in the field today, so he just said in a deep voice; "What are you talking about...... The prince is too strong to drink...... Why is the prince forced? ”

King Zining suddenly chuckled, immediately looked at the crown prince Zhu Yijun, and said in a low voice: "When did Gao Ge Lao see this king persecuting the prince?" ”

Zhu Yijun saw that the audience was also a little nervous for a while, and the situation was really unclear, so he immediately picked up the full wine, drank it all in one gulp, and only came back to his senses after a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao is too worried...... King Zining, this is also a piece of kindness......"

King Zining was a little surprised when he saw Zhu Yijun drinking wine in one sip, but he was still unwilling in his heart, so he couldn't help laughing, and said heartily: "It is worthy of being the prince of Daming, it is really bold...... Let me pour a glass of wine for the prince as a tribute......"

After a glass of wine, Zhu Yijun suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he was a little trembling when he spoke. Ben ate a cup and was done, but when he heard the other party's words, his heart suddenly tightened.

Before Zhu Yijun came back to his senses, King Zining had already poured the wine and put it in front of him.

Zhu Yijun's eyes were scattered for a while, and he couldn't help but look around the scene, but he saw that all the officials were full of smiles on their faces, completely ignoring their current dilemma, and he was very annoyed in his heart.

It's just that this King Zining is standing beside him again, but he can't cheat, and he can't stop drinking, this is really a matter of national affairs, and there is no room for a little difference.

At this difficult moment, Zhu Yijun suddenly saw a familiar face coming over, hurriedly got up, walked over, and saluted the man respectfully, saying, "I've seen Mr. Shen......"

Shen Wuyan waved his hand to Zhu Yijun, couldn't help but look at King Zining who was standing on the side with a surprised expression, couldn't help but walk over, picked up the wine glass he had just poured to Zhu Yijun, and motioned to King Zining: "Shen did it first as a respect?" ”

As he spoke, Shen Wuyan drank it all, then sat on the side of the high arch, and said with a light smile: "If the prince thinks he can't drink...... Then you can ...... as you like."

King Zining really didn't expect Shen Wuyan to dare to come over and drink this glass of wine, and drink it so indifferently. But seeing that the officials in the audience did not have the slightest objection, he was even more shocked in his heart.

Zhu Yijun, who was standing on the side, saw Zhang Juzheng again, introduced General Li into the table, and then sat back in his seat, motioned to King Zining to sit down, and whispered in Gao Gong's ear for a while, and then hurriedly left with the eunuch serving on the side.

After Zhu Yijun left, Gao Gong got up and said to everyone, "The prince is not strong enough to drink, so he will go down to rest first......

For the officials, the prince was uncomfortable here, but he was even more happy when he left.

It's just that at this time, there was one person at the banquet who was shocked in his heart, and that was General Li, who had been following Shen Wuyan all along.

He originally thought that Shen Wuyan's status was low, and when he came to the East Palace to meet the prince today, he would definitely be at the bottom of the seat, and he should be very lonely, so he bent down and walked with the other party, which could be regarded as giving the other party some comfort.

It's just that at this time, it seems that the other party is like an official of status.

During this banquet, even the crown prince saluted him respectfully, and even the great scholars of the cabinet got along with him on an equal footing, how could he be an ordinary person?

Thinking like this, General Li became more and more unsure of where to put his hands, and his flushed face only felt a burst of heat, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Shen Wuyan.

Shen Wuyan probably also noticed the change in the other party's expression, and he didn't say it directly, still chatting with the common adults.

Today's six scholars have changed and changed, some of them were officials of the Hanlin Academy, and some of them were transferred back from Nanjing, but they all had a good relationship with Shen Wuyan.

"Zhou Shangshu...... I heard that you recently got a pair of Xu Wei's calligraphy and paintings...... You say, what the hell is going on in the Criminal Department? ”

When Lord Zhou heard Shen Wuyan's words, his heart felt cold, and he couldn't help but glance at Gao Gong's peaceful face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Mr. Shen's joke is a bit big...... Who doesn't know that Mr. Buncho has a deep friendship with you, how dare I do this......"

Shen Wuyan waved his hand, took care of his own vegetables, and suddenly said, "Mr. Zhang has been to Xiangfang again in the past few days...... You say you're a big man, how do you ...... day by day?"

Before Shen Wuyan finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng, who had always been serious, also showed bitterness on his face, and he often went to Xiangfang immediately. First, it is because he is extremely particular, and secondly, it is also because he purchased it for Concubine Li in the palace.

However, it is not easy to say what happened here, but he sneered: "There have been a lot of mosquitoes recently...... So I went to Xiangfang to buy some gyokuro...... This thing is a bit expensive, Mr. Shen? ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a burst of discussion in the audience. Most of the people knew that this jade dew was Shen Wuyan's, and they had all purchased it, so they naturally knew the price.

Yulu was banned by the imperial court before, and it resumed in the beginning of spring a few years, so Shen Weijing naturally would not let go of this opportunity. Although it has not yet become a scale, it has also caused a crazy rush.

Shen Wuyan couldn't help but sigh secretly that Zhang Juzheng was really an old fox, and immediately stopped continuing this topic, and suddenly said, "Everyone happens to be here today...... Let's talk about it first...... King Zining? ”

King Zining's heart moved, and then he glanced at Shen Wuyan, and said in a deep voice: "Then it's as Lord Shen does......"
