Chapter 46: Crossing the River (I)

After saying that, he quickly turned his head to Boyan and said very modestly: "General Boyan, don't blame it. Originally, Director Zhang was going to set up a banquet for you to receive the wind, but Zhu heard that you had just returned from the capital, so he wanted to ask you about the situation in the capital by the way. But I didn't expect that they didn't tell you at all, and I would be there. ”

"General Boyan, don't blame it!" Immediately after, standing near the round table by the window, there was also a polite official in his fifties who smiled and bowed his hand to him, "It's Zhang's fault that I didn't go and ask your brother to explain it clearly." Below is Zhang Song, who specially set up a banquet here today to catch the wind and wash the dust for the general! This is our lord. He's an old man."

"How can Boyan be virtuous, dare, dare to work in charge of this, so, thick, favorable! Boyan, Boyan even though, even if he is powdered" Boyan had vaguely felt that he had recognized the wrong person before, and when he heard this, he didn't feel sweaty on his forehead, his eyes were red, his hands were bowed, and he didn't know what to do!

Who is Zhu Chongjiu? Although in Dadu, when the civil and military officials mentioned this person, they were usually a Zhu butcher, with a face full of contempt. lest the words he said were not harsh enough, and then he would be suspected of colluding with Huaiyang. But in private, whoever mentions the head of Huaiyang doesn't secretly pick a thumbs up! It was with a pig-killing knife that he was stunned to cut out a hero of a half-province. That is a figure who made countless princes bow their heads, and the prime minister got rid of helplessness and returned. You can scold him for being bold, or you can scold him for bullying his teachers and destroying his ancestors. But in any case, you can't deny the huge foundation he has created. can't deny it, he led the Huaiyang people to embark on a path that no one had thought of before. can't deny it, in just a few years, he has made Huaiyang from the government to the people, a rich world!

"General Boyan doesn't have to be polite, this is a private banquet, you can relax!" Zhu Chongjiu is now accustomed to all kinds of sudden embarrassment. smiled, and returned the traditional equals. "Originally, after you met with Director Zhang, Zhu would talk to you again. But the weather is starting to warm, and the Yellow River is about to thaw. So Zhu simply came over directly! If you are disturbed, please don't blame General Boyan! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Killed, really killed! When Boyan heard this, the heart that had been tense relaxed somewhat, but the warm current in his eyes and nose never got entangled.

Whether it's rubbing someone else's banquet, or having something serious to ask about. He Boyan set foot on Huaiyang's first wine, and also personally took the cup for Zhu Chongjiu. What is the gift of the countryman? If this is not the gift of the countryman, how grand can the gift of the countryman be? In ancient times, the king of Xinling treated Hou Huan and Zhu Hai, and it was nothing more than that! And Boyan is a general, he has never made an inch, and he is still bent on disarming and returning to the field

Just when he was so excited that he could hardly help himself, Zhu Chongjiu's thick voice came from his ears again, "Sit down, everyone sit down." If you don't know it, you can get to know it slowly at the wine table. General Boyan, please take a seat as well. You're a guest, and if you don't sit down, they'll all have to stand together! ”

"This, this, Boyan is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" Boyan arched his hand and quickly sat down. When no one was staring at him, he quietly sucked the tears that had already flowed into the corners of his eyes back into his nose.

Only those who have experienced the ups and downs of life know the preciousness of this affection. If more than three years ago, Boyan was still Totoh's adopted son, and his adoptive father Tokhoff hadn't quit yet, how could he care about this and be courteous? Ping Su wanted to invite him to the banquet, so as to take advantage of the detachment, it is estimated that he can be lined up from Bauhinia Pass to the root of the imperial city! He hadn't seen a big scene, he hadn't eaten a sumptuous banquet, how could he be easily moved by a few respectful words?

And after experiencing the dismissal of the prime minister, the implication of innocent people in the court, the suppression of former bosses and colleagues, and the severance of former best friends, he realized that the respect in the past was not for him, but for Tokto. Without his adoptive father's power, he wasn't even a fart in the eyes of others. And today, that long-lost respect has returned to him. That long-lost enthusiasm also surrounded him again. Not by virtue of other people's power and shadow, but by himself, by his own merits for Huaiyang: by his own responsibility, after being exposed, he still preferred to die rather than betray his companions!

In the present, whether it is Zhang Song, Chen Ji or Liu Ji, they are all human spirits among human spirits, and when they look at Boyan's red eyes, they know that this person must be in a state of agitation, and he is not reluctant. So I didn't be too polite, and I found the closest position to sit down. Then pull the bell on the corner of the table to remind Xiao Er and the store to serve wine and food.

That Linfeng Building can be one of the best pomp in Huaiyang, and naturally has a set of extraordinary skills. In an instant, there were more than a dozen girls in their twenties and eight-year-olds. Everyone dragged a delicate vermilion lacquer tray in their hands, and on the tray were the dishes that the chef had just cooked and the hot wine that had just been put out of the steamer, and the white steam was bubbling and the aroma instantly sent into the nostrils of everyone present.

"A woman can actually be a runner? Is this Linfeng Tower a fireworks venue? This, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu won't be so nonsense! At this moment, Boyan didn't care about appreciating the aroma of wine and food. Looking at the backs of the girls, the brows were instantly locked.

"General Boyan is in the north, I'm afraid I've never seen a woman running the hall, right?!" As the head of the military intelligence department, Zhang Song couldn't bear to see his subordinates show too much timidity. He cleared his throat and explained with a smile: "There are many things on our side, and there are not enough men. So women can also come out and find things to do if they want to. Not only in restaurants, but also in all walks of life, as long as they do not require a lot of physical strength, they are allowed to hire women. Right now, the canal is frozen, which is not conducive to boating. Otherwise, if you stay in Xuzhou City for a few days, you can even see the female admiral commanding a fleet! ”

"Yes, is it General Wu? Boyan has also heard of her name! Boyan came back to his senses in an instant, and smiled and arched his hand.

"In fact, it is not a good thing to lock women up at home. The children are all with their mothers, a person who has no knowledge, no backbone, and thinks about competing with concubines for favor all day long, how can he teach a broad-minded child? ! Zhu Chongjiu, who was sitting against the wall on the east side, took over the conversation with a smile. In this regard, their Mongolian ancestors have done better than some of our Han sages. Put all your skills and thoughts on the outside, instead of making a fuss around a woman's little feet and skirts! ”

"Hehehe" When everyone heard this, they immediately shook their heads and laughed. The corners of his lips were vaguely embarrassed.

Although Zhu Chongjiu said the truth, he inadvertently bypassed Zhu Xi, the former ancestor of the scholar. In the Southern Song Dynasty, although it was repeatedly defeated in foreign wars, the requirements for women's morality became more and more harsh and perverted. Therefore, to say that the ancestors of the Han people at that time were far inferior to the ancestors of the Mongols at that time in some respects, Cheng Temujin, is also impartial and not biased at all.

The same words were heard in Boyan's ears, but they were completely different. Although he has defected to Huaiyang, as a Mongol who has been replaced by a fake, he is still proud of his ancestors. Although the Great Yuan Dynasty is now about to end, from the emperor to the local officials, one by one is more and more mediocre, but it is because their descendants are not angry, and they have nothing to do with their ancestors.

And Zhu Chongjiu, in front of so many high-ranking officials in Huaiyang, admired the ancestors of the Mongols. In the future, if he wins the world, he will not treat the Mongols too badly, let alone kill them all. Otherwise, from now on, he will directly scold the Mongols all over the world as barbarians who drink blood, why remind others to remember the glory of the other party's ancestors?

"Don't talk about that!" Just as his heart was stirring, Zhu Chongjiu's unique deep voice came to his ears again. "It is not easy for our ancestors to open up a foundation. Whether we fight or not depends on our future generations. And whether it is the Mongols or the Han Chinese, in fact, how different are they from each other now? It's like two families have raised seven or eight children each, and there are bastards and rivals. And what we are going to do in the future is to let the bastards go to jail and go home when they deserve to go home, and never have a chance to be domineering again! Let the heroes and heroes of all races have the opportunity to show their strengths! They can all sit together and have a glass of wine, pat each other on the shoulder and call each other brothers. Instead of always thinking about each other's family property, they always hold the handle of the knife in their hands and never dare to let go! ”

"That's right!" Aslan and Yu Tingyu nodded vigorously. Although they joined the Great Governor's Mansion earlier, deep down, they still occasionally remembered their bloodline, and then secretly felt sad. Fortunately, his own lord is really as he usually claims, and there are not many ethnic differences in his eyes at all. To say that we treat each other equally is to treat each other equally, and to treat all civil and military personnel equally.

"This, this" Boyan lowered his head, his lips trembling. He didn't know what he should say, and he didn't know if the other party's words were deliberately aimed at him. But "let the heroes and heroes of all races have the opportunity to show their strengths!" They can all sit together and have a glass of wine, pat each other on the shoulder and call each other brothers. Instead of always thinking about each other's family property, they always hold the handle of the knife in their hands and never dare to let go! This sentence deeply touched his heart, making him unable to calm down at all, let alone take the initiative to disarm and return to the field as he had prepared before, and completely stay out of the matter from then on.

"Don't talk about that!" Zhu Chongjiu is a cool man, after explaining the two sentences, he immediately raised the wine cup and invited loudly, "Come, everyone will use this cup first to wash the dust of General Boyan!" Drink to win! ”

"Drink to win!"

"Welcome back with honors!"

"Drink to win, I am willing to drink with General Boyan!"

All the Huaiyang heroes followed each other, and their eyes were full of friendliness when they looked at Boyan.

"Chief, Chief, Ladies and Gentlemen, Ladies and Gentlemen" seemed to have been tormented for a whole century, and it seemed as if it was just a moment. Boyan finally made up his mind, stood up tremblingly, trembled his hands, and raised the wine cup, as if he was holding a thousand catties of giant ding. "Thank you! Boyan can't speak. Boyan, Boyan from today onwards, willingly. Willing to be driven by the general manager! If, if you don't fulfill your heart, wish, may the sky thunder! ”

The two lines of tears, which they had endured for a long time, finally burst out of their eyes. A drop falls into the wine cup, causing a string of ripples!
