Chapter 273: Effective Counterattack
"Lu Shangshu came on behalf of the emperor today, the lower officials are grateful, the mood is indescribable, think about the friendship between Lu Shangshu and Lu Shangshu, it is difficult to say, if it is not for Lu Shangshu's appreciation, the lower officials will not have today's glory, this kind of kindness, it is useless, and it seems that the lower officials do not understand the reason.

After saying these words, Wu Shaogang clapped his hands vigorously.
Cai Siwei and others soon came in.
"Lu Shangshu, Cai Du and others, you are familiar, the opportunity is rare, they rarely have the opportunity to come to the capital, today to be able to see Lu Shangshu, it is also a coincidence, but also their blessing, in the future, they rely on Lu Shangshu There are still many places, the lower officials are abrupt, Cai Du and others are introduced to Lu Shangshu, and please Lu Shangshu not blame."
Before Lu Wende could react, Cai Siwei began to bow and greet him.
Even if Lu Wende is a secretary of the Ministry and a high-ranking official in the court, he can't belittle Cai Siwei and others at will, not to mention that Cai Siwei and others have also made great achievements.
While Lu Wende was greeting everyone back, Wu Shaogang whispered a few words to the guards around him.
The guards quickly left the room.
The greetings lasted for about half an hour, and Lu Wende said some words that didn't hurt or itch to everyone, and it was about to be goodbye.
Wu Shaogang quickly took over the topic with a smile.
"Lu Shangshu is the official department of the court, in charge of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, the lower officials and Cai Du and others are officials below, all I want is to be able to get the emperor's affirmation, as well as the attention of the officials, I can't imagine that there is such a good opportunity today, if we can get Lu Shangshu's favor today, he and I will be able to work harder, loyal to the emperor, loyal to the court, today the lower officials borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, prepared a thin wine, and asked Lu Shangshu not to shirk."
Lu Wende had a smile on his face, but he couldn't see a smile in his eyes.
"Deputy envoy of Wu system, today I am entrusted by the emperor to come to meet you, and then I have to return to the court to prepare other matters, after all, tomorrow the deputy envoy of Wu system will enter the court to meet the emperor, if these many matters are not ready, the emperor blames it, I can't bear it, as for this feast, there will be opportunities in the future."
Wu Shaogang's face quickly changed, and he looked unhappy.
"When Lu Shangshu said this, he looked down on the lower officials."
"This, Deputy Envoy Wu Zhizhi don't say that, the friendship between you and me is not ordinary, how can you look down on it."
"Lu Shangshu, Yu Gong, on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court, Xia Guan and Cai Du did their best in Sichuan, defeated the Mongolian Tartars, and guarded the safety of Sichuan, no matter what, Lu Shangshu can be pitied, in private, the friendship between Lu Shangshu and Xia Guan is not ordinary, such a long time is gone, Xia Guan came to the capital, prepared a thin wine, banquet Lu Shangshu, if he resigned, how to behave in the future, how will outsiders look at it."
Lu Wende was choked and speechless, this is a post station, nothing can be kept secret, I believe that today's events will spread soon, if there is really the kind of rumor that Wu Shaogang said, it will be unfavorable to him Lu Wende.
Of course, there are other things that Lu Wende thinks of, and this matter has spread out, and it also has a great impact on other well-designed things.
Seeing the hesitant look on Lu Wende's face, Wu Shaogang simply added another fire.
"Lu Shangshu, the lower official will meet the emperor tomorrow, this matter should have been arranged a long time ago, and the court does not need to make any special preparations, the lower official is an official in the court, but he has just done his part, if this little thing needs to be arranged by Lu Shangshu in person, then the lower official will only have to ask for guilt in fear when he sees the emperor tomorrow."
"Today's thin banquet is specially prepared by the lower officials, and the lower officials are rewarded with peach, and the lower officials are aware of the matter, the so-called draft does not forget to dig the well, and the sincerity of the lower officials, please Lu Shangshu never shirk."
Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang waved his hand to the guards beside him.
"Lu Shangshu is busy with official business, I have already delayed a lot of time today, go and see if the banquet is ready, after Lu Shangshu has eaten the banquet, he will return to the court to do business."
The guards immediately went out to see.
Lu Wende's face became calm, and he finally smiled and spoke.
"Wu Zhizhi's deputy envoy's intentions, if I decide to refuse, it will not be close to people. . . ."
When he walked to the banquet hall, Wu Shaogang had a smile on his face, but he was sneering in his heart.
Wu Shaogang didn't dare to say that he was the best in the world, but according to his three-inch tongue, there was no problem with who he wanted to get drunk, and since Lu Wende was on the table, he didn't think that he could come down safely.
Calculation and countercalculation are so simple, Wu Shaogang has already thought about it, so that Lu Wende is so drunk that he will delay tomorrow's early dynasty, of course, Wu Shaogang will help explain to Lu Wende, so that the emperor will not blame too much.
Lu Wende definitely didn't want to get drunk, but he couldn't help himself.
At the banquet, Lu Wende opened his mouth with a smile.
"Wu Zhizhi's deputy envoy's intentions, I must appreciate it, but I rely on the old and sell the old, this wine banquet can be stopped, and Wu Zhizhi's deputy envoy will meet the emperor tomorrow, if he drinks too much, I'm afraid it is not appropriate."
Wu Shaogang waved his hand again and again.
"Lu Shangshu, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there are not more than half a sentence of speculation, you can get the emperor's summons, you can get Lu Shangshu's favor, the lower officials are very happy, and they all have a pride in their hearts, think about the ups and downs over the years, the lower officials also have a lot of words in their hearts, and today I can invite Lu Shangshu, let these words turn into fine wine and enter the heart."
The wine glass on the table was already full of wine.
Wu Shaogang picked up his wine glass and stood up.
"This first glass of wine, Xia Guan proposed, we will toast Lu Shangshu together, thank Lu Shangshu for his concern for us, Lu Shangshu came to visit us on behalf of the emperor, we must keep in mind the kindness of Lu Shangshu in the future, the toaster will do it first, please please."
Everyone picked up their glasses, stood up, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Lu Wende picked up the wine glass and drank it in one go.
After the second glass of wine was poured, Wu Shaogang got up again.
"This second cup of wine, the lower officials are courageous, or ask you to respect Lu Shangshu together, Lu Shangshu is in charge of the ministry, I also want to be able to glorify the ancestors in the future, this entry into the court as an official, all of them want to do their best, get the favor of the emperor, get the appreciation and promotion of the officials, if Lu Shangshu is willing to pay attention to us and give me the opportunity, we are naturally grateful, this cup of wine, you and I salute Lu Shangshu, and also drink it in one go, of course, I can't force Lu Shangshu, if Lu Shangshu doesn't drink this glass of wine, Don't be angry, that is Lu Shangshu still has a different understanding of us, you need to continue to work hard, if Lu Shangshu drinks this glass of wine, it will be a great blessing for us. ”
Without waiting for Lu Wende to speak, he drank the second glass of wine.
Lu Wende didn't speak, picked up the wine glass, and drank the second glass.
In the next third cup, Wu Shaogang stood up.
"This third cup of wine, Xia Guan alone to Lu Shangshu, Lu Shangshu's kindness, Xia Guan has always kept it in mind, but Xia Guan is clumsy, he has not been able to express this gratitude before, today I will continue this glass of wine, to Lu Shangshu's support, express gratitude, thousands of words are in this glass of wine, Xia Guan drank it in one gulp, Lu Shangshu can be at will."
Before Wu Shaogang had time to drink, Lu Wende stood up and raised his glass.
"Deputy Envoy Wu, I must drink this glass of wine."
The third glass of wine was drunk.
Wu Shaogang hurriedly asked Lu Wende to sit down, while serving vegetables for Lu Wende.
After only a few bites of food, Cai Siwei stood up and walked to Lu Wende's side.
"Lu Shangshu, the last general is a soldier, but also a rough person, used to fighting on the battlefield, but he can't speak, today the last general will give Lu Shangshu a glass of wine, drinking in the army is a big bowl, but in front of Lu Shangshu, the last general can't do this, the last general will use a big bowl to drink wine in order to show sincerity."
The two wine bowls were quickly put away.
Cai Siwei poured a full bowl for himself and half a bowl of wine for Lu Wende.
"Lu Shangshu, this bowl of wine, the last general is dedicated on behalf of the soldiers in the army, Lu Shangshu has a high prestige in the army, if the soldiers know that Lu Shangshu and the last general drink wine in a bowl, they must be very happy, and please Lu Shangshu never shirk it. . . ."
Lu Wende's face was already a little red.
Perhaps at this time, Lu Wende was a little strange, why these wines had to be drunk, and it seemed almost impossible to refuse.
As he was about to pick up the wine bowl, Lu Wende pondered for a moment.
"It's still full, Cai Du's command is this glass of wine on behalf of the generals and soldiers in the army, I don't dare to miss a drop, if the soldiers in the army know in the future, I can't explain it."
。。。
In less than half an hour, Lu Wende's face was already flushed.
At this moment, there is no need for Wu Shaogang and others to continue to persuade them to drink, and Lu Wende took the initiative to drink.
Wu Shaogang and Lu Wende have already drunk four glasses of wine, Cai Siwei and Lu Wende have also drunk two bowls of wine, and the rest have either drunk one glass or two glasses.
In terms of quantity, Lu Wende has already drunk nearly three catties of wine, even if it is an immortal, he is drunk.
Da Song's daughter is red, her mouth is soft, and she didn't feel very drunk at that time, but within a short period of time, the alcohol will attack.
The drinking continued, and Wu Shaogang had already given Cai Siwei and the others a look and signaled not to continue drinking.
can make Lu Wende drunk, but he can't make his body drink problems.
An hour later, Lu Wende was already muttering to himself and lying on the table.
。。。
At the end of the banquet, Yicheng prepared a special sedan chair to send Lu Wende home.
Wu Shaogang and the others have nothing to do, this bit of wine is nothing to them, and after drinking, they take turns to toast Lu Wende, and everyone doesn't drink much wine.
Wu Shaogang shook his head secretly, he originally thought that it would be difficult to persuade Lu Wende to drink, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. (To be continued.) )
