Chapter 20: Banquets and Transactions (Cheeky Votes)
Qin Hui turned to the coachman and shouted, "Let's go!" Back to the courtyard, remember to clean the horses and carriages today, I will go out in the evening, there is something important. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can't be delayed! ”
"Okay, sir, but, sir, you have to talk about it first, madam, otherwise I'm afraid that even if the little one cleans the carriage, he won't be able to get out without Madame's order." The coachman said.
Thinking of the tigress in his own house, he felt a chill in his heart, but his face was still tough and said to the coachman: "Naan, is it the master or the lady who is in charge!" Listen to me, let you do what you want, save the fight! ”
"Eh, my lord, forgive me, the little one will not dare to disobey your orders." The coachman said hurriedly. It's just that behind him is a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not me who will be beaten at that time." ”
"What are you muttering!" Qin Hui said.
"No, no muttering anything. Sit's down, sir, go, drive! The coachman waved his whip, and the horse ran on joyfully. There was a jolt in the car. Qin Hui was immersed in the fantasy of going to King Kang's Mansion for the upcoming good thing, when he was suddenly jolted, and the pain from being beaten on his buttocks went straight to the top of his head, and Qin Hui, who was in pain, scolded angrily: "Kill the material!" Don't you know how to slow down? Do you want to bump and die? ”
"Master forgiveness, it's not that I'm in a hurry, it's really that the ground is uneven." The coachman shouted.
"I don't owe half a year's monthly money, and you'll be a door-picker." The coachman scolded lowly.
In the evening, in King Kang's mansion, Zhao Gou, who was dressed in a brocade robe and civilian clothes, smiled at several ministers of the court who had already greeted each other and saluted each other, and Zhang Bangchang, who was the leader, smiled at Zhao Gou and said: "King Kang, today is your family banquet, and the old people are worthy of King Kang, come and raise a glass together, thank King Kang!" ”
"Thank you King Kang for your hospitality!" Several ministers raised their glasses.
"If you can come, you can afford to look at Xiao Wang, come and come, such a beautiful day, when you float a big white!" King Kang Zhao is only seventeen years old, but his white and tender face is old.
"Today, Xiao Wang heard that the soldiers of the Yongding Army annihilated 30,000 troops in Taiyuan, this is a great victory, come and raise a glass to the Great Song Congratulations!" King Kang stood up and said.
"Congratulations for King Kang, congratulations for Da Song!" The ministers raised their glasses.
After a while, a burst of silk and bamboo sounds entered the ears, and more than a dozen singers who were as beautiful as flowers wore exquisite plain skirts, fluttering with their clothes and belts, fluttering, and danced with silk and bamboo music. Qin Hui's eyes stared straight at the most beautiful singer who led the dance in the middle. A look of greed on his face. Zhao Gou glanced at Qin Hui, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, most of the ministers were drunk to the fullest, and they were brought back by their own servants. Qin Hui also felt a little dizzy, and was about to say goodbye to King Kang, but was grabbed by Zhao Gou and said in a low voice: "Qin Xuezheng is not in a hurry, this king still has a few words to talk to Xuezheng privately." ”
Qin Hui woke up more than half of the time, rolled his eyes and whispered: "The junior minister obeys the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Kang. The two of them casually entered
At this time, Zhang Bangchang sent away a group of drunken ministers, turned around and came back, came to Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, and said to Qin Hui: "Qin Xuezheng." His Royal Highness King Kang regards you as someone you can trust, don't let King Kang down. ”
"His Royal Highness King Kang, Lord Zhang, rest assured, although the ministers say that they are soft-spoken, but if there is something, they will not give up." Qin Hui shook his head and said.
"Qin Xuezheng is saving me~~." Suddenly, Zhao Gou looked sad, and he was about to kneel on the ground, so frightened that Qin Hui hurriedly helped King Kang up and said urgently: "King Kang, don't torture the minister, don't do this, King Kang but also ordered, the minister tried his best to help." ”
Zhao Gou made a color at Zhang Bangchang, Zhang Bangchang turned around and closed the door, Zhao Gou said in a low voice: "Don't hide it, although Xiao Wang is in the Jingshi." But it's a daily panic. ”
"King Kang, why is this so?" Qin Hui said.
"To learn is to understand people, don't you know why? Hmph~~ Of course, it's because of my royal brother. Xiao Wang is now a man with his tail between his legs, for fear of annoying my royal brother, so he just hopes that he can leave Bianliang safely and go to Xiao Wang's Sichuan and Shu fiefdom. Zhao Gou said with a pitiful face.
"What does this have to do with the minister?" Qin Hui was puzzled.
"I heard that Qin Xuezheng's brother-in-law is Zhang Bofen, the eldest son of General Zhang Shuye?" Zhao Gou said in a low voice.
"Yes, it's the brother-in-law below. It's just this..." Qin Hui replied puzzled.
"General Zhang Bofen is now the commander of the Jiangning Army stationed in Shandong. Xiao Wang wanted to ask Qin Xuezheng to contact General Zhang and escort Xiao Wang to Sichuan and Shu. Xiao Wang is grateful! Zhao Gou pleaded.
"Uhhh Qin Hui groaned slightly: "This, the Jiangning Army is the garrison army of the imperial court. Even my brother-in-law doesn't have the ability to use the team without permission. ”
"Xuezheng, don't shirk, if it is successful at this time, Xiao Wang will definitely thank Xuezheng." King Kang said sincerely.
"Xuezheng, please see." Zhang Bangchang opened a box, and inside was a stack of paper seals.
"This is 30 downtown shops and 300 acres of land. Plus some real estate near Bianliang, worth 10,000 gold, Qin Xuezheng only needs to help King Kang this time, after King Kang leaves, these are all Xuezheng yours. Zhang Bangchang said with a wicked smile.
"It's... Koshitan tried his best. It will not disappoint King Kang. Qin Hui said with red eyes. From a poor sour teacher, he became a Taixue who was a final product of Bianliang. It took more than ten years, I am already in my thirties, and then I want to go up, I am afraid that it will be difficult, in Bianliang, a place where every inch of land is expensive, I sold all the real estate in my hometown to buy a small house in Bianliang, which is very shabby, and daily use is also very tight. Every day, I have to suffer from the evil words of my own evil mother-in-law, and scold myself all day long for not being angry, not motivated, but poor. Now I finally have such a wealth, gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, and I did it!! Whatever you say, you have to let your brother-in-law help you.
"Then thank you for learning correctly." Zhao Gou said with a smile.
"King Kang is polite." Qin Hui said with a smile.
"Bang!!" Zhao Gou clapped his palms with his hands, and saw a beautiful figure coming out of the inner hall, Ying Yingying. When I came closer, it was the singer who led the dance.
"It's getting late, so it's inconvenient. Xiao Wang has a lot of rooms here, and they are very spacious, so Qin Xuezheng will stay in Xiao Wang for one night. Caidie, take care of Qin Xuezheng. Zhao said.
"The slave family obeys His Highness's orders." The singer named Rainbow Butterfly bowed her head and saluted.
"This, how to make, this..." Qin Hui looked at the woman and stammered at Zhao Gou.
"Why not!" Zhao Gou gave Qin Hui a look that all men understand, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
"Lord Qin. The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, ahhhh Zhang Bangchang said with a smile. Turned around and left.
At this moment, Qin Hui's wine was surging, and when he looked at the beauty under the lamp, he only felt a heat surging under his lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but hug the singer.

Late at night, in the side hall of the palace of Emperor Zhao Ji, Zhao Jiping sat on a soft chair, his eyes were full of fatigue, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was considering, and Liang Shicheng behind him served respectfully on the side, without saying a word. After a while, Zhao Ji came back to his senses from thinking and said to Su Ming, who was kneeling on the ground: "The emperor doesn't go to review the recital during the day now?" ”
"It's been more than half a month since I returned to the emperor, and the emperor is there every day. Haven't been anywhere else. Su Ming knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Hey~ How can you be like this for a gentleman, but she's just a singer! I heard that this singer who was named a noble person was dedicated to the emperor by Lao Jiu? Zhao Ji asked.
"Returning to the Taishang, it is indeed the gift of His Royal Highness King Kang to the emperor." Su Ming replied.
"Take good care of the emperor, and report anything abnormal to me at any time! Go ahead! Zhao Ji said.
"No!" Su Ming respectfully retreated.
There are only two people in the side hall, Zhao Ji and Liang Shicheng, Zhao Ji said: "It seems that the lonely Xiaojiu is also a little thoughtful." ”
"Taishang, King Kang is fifteen years old, although the city government has it, but at present, he just wants to protect himself in front of his own royal brother, and he shouldn't have any other ideas." Liang Shicheng said respectfully.
"Lonely child, lonely knows best, Xiao Jiu is a child with a heart." Zhao Ji said lightly. casually asked, "What is Kai'er doing?" ”
"King Yun has now resigned from his position in the court, and only invited a group of literati and lyricists to recite poems in his own house, and he has not gone out much." Liang Shi became enlightened.
"Kai'er's temperament is most like me, and the way of flowers and birds is also forced to make achievements, so I will call him to come tomorrow and chat with Gu for a while." Zhao Ji said.
"No."
"I heard that at today's court meeting, Li Gang wants to postpone the peace talks? Hum!! I really don't know the general situation, the Jin people are barbaric, and they can negotiate peace as soon as possible, so that the war can be fought as soon as possible, and the people and soldiers in front can rest in peace. Zhao Ji said dissatisfied.
"What Taishang said is very true, but I heard that the military reported a great victory on the front line, and the beggar who recovered Yanjing annihilated more than 30,000 Jin people in Hedong. also beheaded one of the arms of the gold thief Wan Yan Zonghan. So. "Liang Shicheng.
"Lone also got the news, but it is precisely in this way that we can better negotiate peace, according to Lone's view, this victory, although the Jin people were frustrated, but they did not hurt the fundamentals, if they did not take advantage of the Jin people's frustration to negotiate peace as soon as possible, is it difficult to wait until the Jin people are relieved to make any excessive requests! Cessing the three counties is already a shame to the ancestors, do you have to cede another three counties to be satisfied~!! Zhao Ji said sharply.
"Taishang is wise!" Liang Shicheng echoed.
"Well・・・・・." Zhao Ji let out a sigh of relief, calmed down, took the tea that had already been brewed on his side, took a sip, and said, "The new batch of Huashigang in Jiangnan Province is almost here." ”
"Go back to Taishang. Now we have arrived at Yingtianfu. In three days, we will be in Bianliang. Liang Shicheng said respectfully.
"Yes." Zhao Ji said lightly, holding his forehead with his hand, looking a little sleepy.
Liang Shicheng saw that Zhao Ji was a little sleepy, and hurriedly said: "Taishang, are you resting in the palace today, or are you calling the female envoy Li to come to the bed?" ”
"Forget it. Lone has been a little tired lately. Just rest here. Step aside. Zhao Ji said.
"No!" Liang Shicheng responded respectfully, and walked out of the dormitory.
