Chapter 5: Seat Rivalry

The moon is like a hook, and the moonlight is soft. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The cold moonlight shrouded King Kang's mansion, forming a dense scene.

In the lobby!

Officials from the Beihai Kingdom have arrived one after another.

The officials sat down and exchanged words with each other, discussing the killing of Zhang Rao.

The person who shot Zhang Rao was the eldest son Liu Xuan, which was very surprising, but Liu Xuan was not taken seriously. In such a situation, King Kang Liu He held a banquet to celebrate, which made Liu Xuan's situation a little embarrassing.

On the surface, everyone had a good conversation.

Secretly, all of them were tense in their hearts, knowing that there might be waves tonight.

When Liu Xuan walked to the door of the hall, an attendant immediately greeted him and said respectfully: "Master Xuan, your position is the first on the right side of the first row. ”

"Got it."

Liu Xuan replied and walked into the hall.

Entering the hall, Liu Xuan glanced at it.

Beihai Xiang Kong Rong and Guofu Su Jing have already arrived. The two sat in the second row, Kong Rong on the right and Su Jing on the left. The right side of the first row is vacant, where he sits. On the left side of the first row, Liu Yu sits.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the left was respected, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, the right was respected.

Liu Xuan is on the right side of the first row, one level higher than Liu Yu.

Liu Yu smiled and took the initiative to say, "Why did the eldest brother come?" The banquet is about to begin, so take a seat. ”

"Thank you second brother for reminding me."

Liu Xuan didn't seem to hear Liu Yu's words, so he walked to the right side and sat down.

"King Kang has arrived!"

Outside the hall, the voice of the attendant singing a promise was heard.

In an instant, the hall was silent.

"Step! Trample! ”

Footsteps came from outside the hall, from far and near.

Liu He, King of Kang, wore a long crown and a black collared coat, and walked into the hall. He walked over to his seat and turned to face the officials in the hall.

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat!"

Liu He's face showed a hint of a smile and sat down directly.

The officials in the hall sat down.

Liu He had a spring breeze on his face and a brisk tone: "The Yellow Turban thief Zhang Rao ambushed him, and the drama county turned from danger to safety, which is a great joy." Tonight, the king set up a family feast to celebrate, not for anything else, but for the sake of celebration. This is a royal family banquet, so there is no need to be formal. Tonight, Zhu Qing must drink heartily and not get drunk and go home. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The officials in the hall replied one after another.

"Your Highness, Minister Yang Feng has something to say."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a thin appearance, shook off his robe, stood up and walked to the center of the hall to salute. As he spoke, his gaze swept over Liu Xuan.

At this glance, Liu Xuan set off a ripple in his heart.

The comer is not good!

Liu Xuanlai came to the dinner and was ready to be targeted, so he didn't panic.

Liu He waved his hand and said, "What does Yang Qing have to say?" ”

Yang Feng bowed ninety degrees again and said, "Your Highness set up a banquet to celebrate, and at the time of great joy, the minister should not have said anything to ruin the fun." But the minister can't break the rules, so I have to say. ”

The atmosphere in the hall became serious.

Kong Rong looked at Yang Feng, his eyes narrowed, but he didn't open his mouth to interfere.

Su Jing also looks at the nose and the nose and the heart, and does not interfere.

The others watched, knowing that there was a wave.

The relaxed look on Liu He's face disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

"No!"

Yang Feng replied with his hand, his gaze turned to Liu Xuan, and suddenly became incomparably sharp.

That look seemed to pierce Liu Xuan's body.

Yang Feng opened his mouth and said: "The minister wonders in his heart, why does Xuan Gongzi sit in the first place? Although Xuan Gongzi is the eldest son, he has not yet participated in political affairs, and he is not the prince of the palace, but just a white body. That being the case, the first place should be Kong Xiangcai. Xuan Gongzi sat in the first place, which did not match the etiquette. The minister dared to ask His Royal Highness to place Kong Xiang in the first place and adjust Xuan Gongzi to the back. ”

After Liu He heard this, his eyes fell on Liu Xuan.

The seating of the banquet was not arranged by him personally, and was directly handed over to the steward of the palace. Liu He didn't care about whether Liu Xuan was sitting in the first place, and felt that it was an insignificant matter.

Liu He didn't like Liu Xuan, but it was Liu Xuan who shot Zhang Rao, so he always wanted to take care of it, so he asked: "Xuan'er, what do you think of Yang Feng's words?" ”

If Liu Xuan can't answer, Liu He will adjust Liu Xuan's seat. If Liu Xuan's answer can be convincing, it doesn't hurt to sit in the first place, anyway, it's a family banquet.

Liu Xuan stood up and said, "Father, the son has a little immature idea. ”

Liu He said: "You come here." ”

"Thank you, Father."

Liu Xuan won Liu He's approval, and his heart became more steady.

He glanced at Liu Yu, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. The arrangement of the seats, as well as Yang Feng's troubles, should be Liu Yu's arrangement.

It's just that such a ploy can't embarrass him.

Liu Xuan's eyes fell on Yang Feng, and he said slowly: "Yang Feng just said that this son is a white body. Therefore, Ben Gongzi doesn't know much about officialdom. Dare to ask, what position does Yang Feng hold? ”

Yang Feng replied: "I am the chief of ceremonies and music in the palace, and I am in charge of the ceremonial music of the palace. ”

Liu Xuan stretched out his voice 'oh' and said, "You are in charge of Lile, and it is reasonable to put forward the wrong actions of this son, and it is your duty." ”

Yang Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Xuan Gongzi Mingjian, the minister definitely has no intention of targeting Xuan Gongzi." ”

Liu Xuan sneered in his heart, if you don't target it, why bother to bring it up on such an occasion. When you enter the hall before, you can bring it up. Looking at the schadenfreude on Liu Yu's face, it is clear that Liu Yu knew the situation earlier.

Liu Xuan was not in a hurry or impatient, and said: "My father asked for advice, and my son had a few doubts, so he asked Yang Lile." ”

"Xuan Gongzi, please."

Yang Feng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and there was a little drumming in his heart.

Yang Feng once met Liu Xuan, and in Yang Feng's impression, Liu Xuan has always been a stuffy gourd, and his personality is also cowardly, and he can't speak clearly. But today, Liu Xuan's demeanor and tone of speech have changed drastically, as if he has changed people.

The other officials in the hall also showed expectant looks.

Liu Xuan is the eldest son, and some officials in the palace and even in the Beihai Kingdom naturally support Liu Xuan, because Liu Xuan is the eldest son of King Kang.

Liu Xuan has changed, and this part of the officials has ideas.

Kong Rong sat at the head of the second row, glanced at Liu Xuan, and there was a look of expectation in his eyes. When he learned that Liu Xuan had shot Zhang Rao, he didn't believe it very much, after all, Liu Xuan had a bad impression before. Now that I see Liu Xuan's response, I already believe it.

In Su Jing's eyes, he was also looking forward to Liu Xuan's performance.

Su Jing is Beihai Fu and is in charge of the government affairs of the palace. He knows all about the palace. What kind of personality Liu Xuan used to have, Su Jing knew very well. Su Jing suddenly went out of his body like a sword hidden in a scabbard, making him think that Liu Xuan was hiding before.

Liu He was also a little interested, waved his hand and said, "Xuan'er say quickly, don't sell Guanzi." ”

"No!"

Liu Xuan walked to the center of the hall, faced Yang Feng, and said in a deep voice: "The first question, my father said at the beginning, tonight is a family banquet, no identity, no formality. Since it is a family banquet, there is naturally no distinction between official positions. ”

"Yang Feng, you are the chief of the palace, if you have a little eyesight, you should understand that the current seat is carefully arranged by your father."

"The first place in the first row is the position of this son, the son of the father and the king; The second in the first row is the second brother, who is also the son of the father. My son and my second brother are in the same row, and they are in the first row, what is the reason for this? ”

Liu Xuan said affirmatively: "Obviously, the intention of the seats in this row is not based on official positions, but only as the son of the father, and there are no other considerations. ”

"Kong Xiang, Su Guofu and the rest of the officials, because they are in official positions, are arranged in order."

"It's a very simple truth, why doesn't Yang Lile understand it?"

Liu Xuan's tone was sharp, and his momentum was even more compelling, he raised his voice and said loudly: "Yang Lile doubts the seat of this son, but he actually questions his father's arrangement. ”

The corners of Yang Feng's mouth twitched, speechless.

Because Liu Xuan involved Liu He and Liu Yu, it became complicated.

Liu He used to hold banquets, although Liu Yu was the second son, he still sat in the second row of the first row, behind Kong Rong.

In this seat battle, Yang Feng is only targeting Liu Xuan, not Liu Yu.

But now, it is difficult for Yang Feng to target Liu Xuan again. Yang Feng wanted to scold people very much, the seat was discussed between him and Liu Yu, and then Liu Yu told the steward who arranged the seat was not the so-called first row that Liu He's son had to be arranged.

After Liu Xuan described it in a few words, he changed the intention of the seat layout, saying that it was arranged by Liu Heliang with great care. Give Yang Feng a hundred guts, and he didn't dare to oppose it anymore.

If you oppose it again, you will oppose Liu He.

Liu Xuan didn't intend to let Yang Feng go, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said again: "The first doubt is over, my son still has the second doubt, please Yang Lile for advice." ”

"Kick! Step on! ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he actually took two steps back, and was intimidated by Liu Xuan's momentum.
