In the city of Quang Ninh, the Yamen of the General Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Governor, Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry, the kid just came out of the ravine, he hasn't seen much of the world, and today he suddenly saw the legendary father-in-law, and he was excited for a while, although I was controlling, controlling, and controlling, but I'm sorry, I didn't control it, I still neglected the two adults, and the kid is willing to be punished!"
After Hua Shen waited for the prince to leave, he suddenly realized that there were still two real court officials around him, and the emperor of this trip to the border town had to ask for their support and help, so he hurriedly apologized to the two adults.
As for how the governor and Mr. Zhao will react? It's nothing, but he looked at Hua Shen helplessly and shook his head, just when he was a young man, he was so curious about a eunuch, and after thinking about it like this, there was nothing to care about, and Mr. Zhao said directly:
"Dude, although you are on the emperor's mission this time, you are not in a hurry at this moment, today Governor Chen and I have already prepared a banquet in the governor's yamen, and we will pick up the wind for Lord Xu and you later."
"Then there will be Governor Lao and General Zhao."
Hua Shen Youyou smiled and arched his hand to these two, as for Lord Xu? He fought with Hua Shen a lot along the way, although the two sides won and lost each other, but after all, he was older, and he couldn't compare to Hua Shen, a young man, not to mention Hua Shen, whose body was strengthened by the sequelae of the crossing, so as soon as he entered this Guangning City, he ran to the governor's yamen to rest, just waiting for the reception banquet to start, and then went directly to the table to eat.
And Hua Shen followed Governor Chen and General Soldier Zhao to the Governor's Yamen to have a "reunion" dinner with Lord Xu and local civil and military officials at all levels, which is also a tradition that has not changed in the Celestial Empire for thousands of years.
The governor's yamen, the main hall, and the wine table.
As the host, Governor Chen should be the first to raise a glass of wine, and of course, he did the same:
"Now the saint is wise, sitting on the court and not forgetting the life and death of my border soldiers, today the special teacher and playboy come here on business, it is to improve the ability of our border army officers to fight, reduce the number of casualties of our border army soldiers, this move is to send great blessings to our border army, I am here to worship a cup, wish the saint a blessed longevity and health, long live!"
After speaking, he knelt down and raised his glass, faced the east and kowtowed three times, all the civil and military officials present saw this first cup of wine and saluted the emperor, how could anyone dare to sit on the banquet? They all got up and knelt on the ground, facing the east, and shouted "Long live the emperor" and "Long live the emperor."
After Governor Chen Yao finished saluting the emperor's glass of wine, he got up and said to Lord Xu:
"Teacher, I have been stationed in this town for many years, and I can't take a break, and I can't even visit my teacher in the past few years, but today I have to be favored by the saints, so that I can see my teacher again, and I have a glass of wine here to show my teacher's cultivation."
"Ziping, you don't have to be like this, today I see that the people of Guangning City are stable, and I think you have gotten along well with General Zhao in the past few years here, and you will be well managed here, so I can rest assured."
After that, the two of them naturally drank the wine in the cup, and then, the Governor Chen raised his glass to Hua Shen again and said:
"Playboy, your young Ji Ji has entered the eyes of the saint, and he has the emperor's order, and he came to this town to teach me about the border army soldiers and soldiers, it can be seen that you are young and promising, and the future is unlimited, you and I will drink this cup together, one is to wish the playboy that your trip to the border town can successfully complete the emperor's order, in order to live up to the emperor's trust, and the second is to wish the playboy a bright future and a bright future."
Hua Shen was also shocked when he saw that Governor Chen toasted himself, the governor was a real court official, and he had no problem respecting the emperor and Lord Xu, because it was a matter of course, but it was really a bit surprising for him to respect such a hairy boy, so Hua Shen naturally didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly raised his glass and said to him:
"Lord Governor, you are tormenting me, how can you dare to let you toast me? This cup is still by the kid to you, first, the boy's imperial life on this trip is inseparable from your support and cooperation, and secondly, thank you for the reception banquet you arranged today, the kid borrowed the light of Lord Xu, so he rubbed the adult's glass of wine to drink, and the kid was really grateful. ”
Hua Shen said, he raised his glass to Governor Chen first, and then drank it directly, which was also a sign of respect for him, otherwise, if he let Governor Chen raise his glass and drink first, it would really become a toast to himself, and people would toast himself to Lord Xu's face, but he Hua Shen himself couldn't help but not know what to do, and he really regarded his own bean bag as a Manchu Han full banquet.
Governor Chen watched Hua Shen snatch his first and didn't stop it, the smile on his face was even more, and at the same time, he secretly felt in his heart that although this son was still young, he really had a good grasp of people's hearts and things.
And Lord Xu didn't say anything about this scene at all, but his expression when he looked at Hua Shen was full of appreciation.
After Governor Chen's three glasses of wine were toasted, the wine table naturally became lively, especially on the wine table of the generals, who shouted five and drank six, and almost didn't pay a good sum to put the gambling table up, Hua Shen was also interesting to look at, but he didn't rush over to say hello, but raised his glass to Zhao Zongbing, who was at the same table with him, and said at the same time:
"Mr. Zhao, the boy Hua Shen is still young, although this time he said that he came to Guangning City in this Liaodong town on the order of the emperor to teach some military matters, but the kid knows that you have been practicing martial arts for many years, and you understand and understand the affairs of the military and soldiers much more clearly and thoroughly than the kid, so I am afraid that I still need more guidance from Mr. Zhao this time, so that we can better complete the tasks entrusted by the emperor, and I hope that Mr. Zhao will not hesitate to give advice."
Hua Shen said, he raised his glass first, raised his head, and drank the wine in the cup cleanly, but Zhao Zongbing just watched him finish the wine, and he didn't move the wine glass for a minute, and he didn't even say a word.
How could Hua Shen not understand when he saw this? This Zhao Zongbing is a figure who has been guarding Liaodong Town for many years, but now the emperor has sent him, a seventeen-year-old hairy boy, to teach him about the army, how can you call him, a person who has been fighting with the Mongolian soldiers for many years, stand it? Even now even the emperor may have become a faint monarch in his eyes, right?
Lord Xu was not surprised to see that Mr. Zhao didn't drink Hua Shen's wine, but he still didn't say anything, just looked at Hua Shen with a smile, he wanted to know what method Hua Shen would use to get this face back for himself if he was so lost face by this Mr. Zhao?
Although this Lord Xu didn't speak, it didn't mean that Hua Shen didn't look at him, Hua Shen saw this old man looking at himself with a smile, it was clearly a smile on his face, not a good thing, Hua Shen smiled secretly in his heart, you old man thinks that with his Zhao Zongbing's little tricks, you can make me ugly? didn't bother with him at the moment, let alone with that Mr. Zhao, but continued to speak:
"Today, our civil and military officials at all levels in Liaodong Town are relatively complete, right? Then I'll let you meet the emperor and ask me to teach the soldiers the new weapons to use, right? ”
After that, he asked the guard beside him to fetch a rifle, and when he held it in his hand, many generals looked at it a little familiar, but they couldn't see it clearly for a while, and finally they weren't sure what Hua Shen was holding in his hand.
