Zhang Rui personally cooked a few small dishes red and green, fresh fish and mellow, vegetables and vegetables verdant, pleasing to the eye, Yang Ke has been attentive to accompany each other, Zhang Hua has been in the dust, long hungry, wine to drink, dishes are delicious, happy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Yang Ke only talked about the situation of the people here during the banquet, but he never mentioned the affairs of the DPRK and China, let alone asked Zhang Hua why he suddenly visited. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Hua put down the wine glass in his hand, sighed slowly and said: "Xiu Lie, the Queen Mother asked me to invite you, I sincerely accompany you, she is in trouble now." ”

Hearing her father's words, Zhang Rui's face couldn't help but change slightly, and she stretched out her hand to pick up the vegetables and shrank back, and as soon as the chopsticks fell to the ground, she hurriedly lowered her head and picked up the chopsticks. Yang Ke pondered for a moment, and then shook his head solemnly: "Father-in-law, it's not me who refutes the Queen Mother and your face, the time has not yet come." ”

Zhang Hua was stunned for a long time, raised his wine glass and drank it all: "I'm ashamed, it seems that you have always been a blind observer, but it is a pity that the Queen Mother and I still think that we have a plan, and we are really useless scholars." ”

Yang Ke smiled and filled the wine glass for Zhang Hua: "Father-in-law blames himself too much, you are a gentleman, and the way to govern the country should be to use yang strategy, you have to be a great talent like you." But to deal with those charming villains, it is not a gentleman's strength, so why bother to blame them all. ”

"The vassal kings and courtiers are getting more and more disagreeable, fighting all day long, the queen mother's decree is almost out of the palace gate, what's more, some vassal kings and courtiers have already quarreled to the long live dormitory, the queen mother doesn't want to use force, but the court situation is chaotic to this point, and if you don't rectify it, there will be a big incident, the queen mother wants to ask you to go back, try not to kill people, not to arrest people, so that these troublemakers will retreat." Zhang Hua's brows were tightly locked, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of expectations and pleading.

Yang Ke looked at Zhang Hua's solemn expression, and suddenly asked, "Who are the people who took the lead in making trouble that my father-in-law said?" Have you ever seen it clearly? ”

"Who else?" Zhang Hua said indignantly: "Among the courtiers, the clan and the vassal king are colluded with each other, and they are friends with each other, and they have the posture of rebuilding the feudal town, regaining the power of the court, and asking the central council. ’

Yang Ke continued to ask, 'What is the attitude of Banzai now?' ’

Zhang Hua said: "Long live singing and dancing all day long, and then you are drunk, and you are not the old way of being confused." ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Yang Ke's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant: "Long live us, we are confused about small things, and we are confused about big things, but after being confused for a lifetime, even if he is not confused, no one can see through it." ”

"Xiu Lie, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Hua asked in surprise.

Yang Ke said slowly: "When Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, was in turmoil, there was a rout dog jumping over the wall and breaking into the forbidden palace at night, when Banzai was injured in the chaos, and the attendants fled one after another, only the inner attendant Ji Shao stepped forward, blocked in front of Banzai, guarded the Son of Heaven, made a meat shield, and was killed by the rebels, and the blood was alkaline on the dragon robe. When the war subsided, the attendants wanted to wash the royal clothes, but this foolish son suddenly sobered up, opened the royal mouth and said: This is the blood of the servants, but the blood of loyal ministers, don't wash it away. This sentence is a pun, half of it is to reproach the servant for never fulfilling his duty as a guard, and half to show that the Son of Heaven and his subordinates have protected him, so that everyone present is ashamed and landless, so it can be seen that Banzai is rare and confused. ”

Zhang Hua suddenly changed color and said: "There are such deceitful and rebellious fanatics, why have you never heard of it, then Sima Ying should be all over the house and behead his clan." ”

Yang Ke said lightly: "My father-in-law also said that Sima Ying should punish the clan for his crimes, and it is easy to kill a little Sima Ying, but once the matter spreads, it will be a precedent for chaos. In the Spring and Autumn Period, King You of Zhou abolished the crown prince because of his praise, and the prince's grandfather Shen Hou raised troops to attack Hojing, and since then the princes of the world have followed suit, and opened a crusade against the Son of Heaven, which led to the Zhou family to move the capital, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was turbulent for hundreds of years, and the Warring States fought for hegemony until the death of Zhou. Therefore, it is not useless to say that today's son is not useless, and he can also see through the overall situation and distinguish the important ones. So this matter has been kept secret, and it is because the emperor has worked the word forbearance. Now, who's to say if he's really confused or pretending to be confused? ”

"That's why you are lenient with the vassal king, and you are all trapping and not killing the vassal king, and you don't issue a clear edict to ask for the crime?"

Yang Ke nodded: "Father-in-law Mingjian." ”

Zhang Hua sighed and said: "Xiu Lie, you are the old man who seeks the country, and I am the real old and immortal fool." ”

Yang Ke looked at Zhang Hua's face with self-blame and chagrin, muttered for a long time, and said word by word: "Father-in-law, please bring a message to the Queen Mother, but the stakes are very high, except for the Queen Mother, you can't mention a word to others, otherwise, you will lose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cut off the root of the disease." ”

Zhang Hua saw Yang Ke's solemn face, and his words were so serious, he couldn't help but tense every nerve: "You say, but the Queen Mother, never let a third person hear it." ”

Yang Ke lowered his voice: "My father-in-law brought a message to the Queen Mother, I didn't complain about him in the slightest, let her calm down, don't act rashly, there is a real behind-the-scenes promoter behind the turmoil in this court, if he doesn't show up, we can't move." ”

"And who's behind it?" Zhang Hua's mouth opened wide in surprise, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart, if the vassal kings can't be regarded as the masterminds behind the scenes, who else can be bigger than them? Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and there was a faint light in his eyes: "It won't be long live today, right?" ”

Yang Ke smiled faintly: "Father-in-law doesn't have to guess, and don't do anything, it's not that the son-in-law is making a fool of himself, it's just for the sake of today, ten thousand words are better than a silence, the key to this victory or defeat depends on who can stabilize to the end." ”

Zhang Hua's face was full of doubts and worries: "If there are really gods and ghosts behind the scenes who have not appeared, wouldn't the Queen Mother be kept in the dark now, and in the open, in case there is a change in Kyoto, what can I do?" ”

Yang Ke sneered: "What I'm most afraid of now is not that he will change, but that he will not change, as long as he surfaces, it will be the time for us to close the net." Although the Queen Mother is in the light, it is a fishing bait, don't forget, the son-in-law is in the dark. ”

"Is there any way to get him to show up sooner?"

Yang Ke nodded helplessly, exhausted by this father-in-law's curiosity, he thought for a while: "As long as the father-in-law releases the wind after returning to Kyoto, he can have a little criticism of the son-in-law." But you can't say it, and if you say it, you will be seen. ”

Zhang Hua is even more like falling clouds, full of black lines. Zhang Rui, who hadn't interjected for a long time, couldn't help it, and interjected: "The father-in-law and his daughter and son-in-law fell out, even if they hate them again, they will only complain in their mouths, otherwise, won't the ugliness of the family be publicized?" Dad, you really read all the books, and you still can't figure out this bit of human feelings? ”

Zhang Hua suddenly realized, yes, even if the father hates his children, it is impossible to shout all over the world, it is not his own face that he has lost, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and it is already the limit to be able to complain to outsiders. After all, he is a gentleman, and he only has his family and country in his heart, how could he have these delicate thoughts, and he can't help but be secretly ashamed: "I understand, you are asking me to bend my bow, so that outsiders are more convinced that the queen mother and the father have a disagreement with you, so that you can lead the snake out of the hole faster." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rui and Yang Ke couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, silent.

Zhang Hua couldn't find out who the name of the mastermind behind the scenes was, he was full of depression and unwillingness, and it was not good to chase and fight hard, and when he was over, he couldn't hold back a question that he had buried for a long time: "Ask another question for your father, you made a private visit to Wang Xiang at that time, how did you make him defect?" ”

Yang Ke couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't smile too much, so he could only hold back his internal injuries and spit out a sentence: "Wang Lao, like his father-in-law, is a loyal minister who worries about the country and the people, and the son-in-law just chatted with Wang Lao about the way to govern the country and persuaded him." ”
