Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Vacancy of the Priest's Office

Chang Yu was thinking about it, Zi Nanyang suddenly stood up, raised the full wine glass forward, glanced around at everyone, and said loudly, "Guests, the ancients once said that people are full of spirit when they encounter happy events, and there are three happy events today, and they are very happy in their hearts, and their alcohol addiction has also come up, so I want to toast a glass of wine for these three things!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all interested, and they were also curious about the three happy events of Zi Nanyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qi Rui stood up, held the wine in both hands, raised it in front of him, and asked Zi Nanyang, "Dare to ask Your Highness, this is the first happy event, but Madame's body has recovered?" ”

"Haha, that's right, exactly!" Zi Nanyang smiled and said, "Doctor Lu is in trouble, it is inconvenient to come, I have already prepared a generous gift and sent it to Doctor Lu's residence, this glass of thin wine, I will take the lead in the next generation, and I will pay tribute to Doctor Lu!" ”

"Respect Doctor Lu!" And all the people answered, and they all got up, and drank their wine with pleasure.

"I don't know Your Highness, what is this second happy event?" Qi Rui took advantage of the fact that everyone was on the rise, and then asked.

Zi Nanyang showed a smile on his face, took the full wine glass from the hands of his subordinates, bowed to Qi Rui, Ling Yi, and the three divisions present, and said solemnly, "The second happy event is that I have to meet Xiangguo and my colleagues to help each other, and the country will be thriving today, although the strength of the small country is still less than one-fifth of that year, but I believe that as long as I wait for the whole heart, and then give time, my little country will no longer suffer from the flesh of all countries, and will become a princely powerhouse!" ”

Zi Nanyang's momentum was like a rainbow, and his voice was stirring, echoing in the hall, making Chang Yu also infected with his pride.

"His Majesty is willing to follow His Highness and do his best to defend the country!" Qi Rui, Ling Yi and the three divisions raised their glasses and walked to the banquet to bow down.

Zi Nanyang saluted everyone back, lifted the wine jug again, poured the wine full, and raised his glass to Wan Zhang, Chang Yu and others who were still in the seat, and said, "This third happy event is that I am fortunate to meet all the predecessors and talents, intersect with you, listen to the teachings, and every time I think about it, I feel that I have benefited a lot. ”

Wan Zhang raised his wine glass, took the lead and walked out, replied with Confucian standard etiquette, and said, "Your Highness is serious!" The old man has come to your country for the first time, and I hope to have the opportunity to bring his disciples to do his best! ”

Shi Shan, who was a disciple of Wanzhang, naturally walked out and said yes again and again.

"His Royal Highness is courteous and hospitable, and he is really a model for people in the world!" Zhou Zi stroked his sleeves lightly and raised his glass and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality." Xun Qing simply replied with two sentences.

Chang Yu was about to answer, Zi Nanyang turned around, and said to Chang Yu again, "I know Brother Chang, and it is a lot of fate, Brother Chang is a strange scholar in the Ghost Valley, and I will rely on Brother Chang more in the future!" ”

When Chang Yu heard this, he was flattered in his heart, but out of the corner of his eye, he also glanced at the people who had come over, and everyone had different expressions, only Wan Zhang lowered his head and drank, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zi Nanyang's attitude is imminent, so that he can't grasp it for a while.

Chang Yu humbly thanked himself again and again, but in his heart he admired Zi Nanyang very much.

Now that his identity as a native of Guigumen has been known to the magnates of the whole city, of course Zi Nanyang wants to win over him, but everyone on this group should not be underestimated, and naturally he also needs to take care of it.

Zi Nanyang's three happy events, in terms of winning people's hearts, there are many things worth learning from themselves.

The first of these three happy events seems to have nothing to do with everyone, but it is an excellent introduction to the opening chapter, and everyone will definitely echo it, and the atmosphere will be adjusted.

Then, naturally, the second thing led to the second thing, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, who accounted for half of the number of people on the field, were all praised.

Immediately after that, he kept proposing the third thing, and took care of these foreign guests.

In the end, using the third glass of wine, Chang Yu was brought together again.

After these three glasses of wine, everyone in the audience was very comfortable, and everyone gathered around the eldest prince.

But Zi Nanyang knew about Wu Huo's going to the second son's mansion, but he didn't mention it, which shows his open-mindedness.

It's not enough to have 800 doormen, you also have to have the skill to control doormen.

Chang Yu couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone sat down to dine and chatted again at the invitation of Zi Nanyang.

Among them, Wan Zhang is the oldest, has been in Qi for the longest time, and has the most life experience, so he told everyone about some academics and rumors in Qi State.

Zhou Shi was also an official in the Qi State, and he was a debater who traveled all over the world, so he was extended by the Qi State to tell everyone some interesting stories about the Zhou State.

Xiang Guo and the others occasionally interjected a few words, but Xun Qing didn't seem interested in this, just listened softly.

When Chang Yu first arrived in the Warring States Period, of course he didn't have any backup information in his mind, of course, he could only talk less and listen more, and he was guessing in his heart that Zi Nanyang set up the purpose of this banquet.

Sure enough, everyone was full of wine and food, and at the invitation of Zi Nanyang, they drank another glass.

Zi Nanyang gently put the wine glass on the red sandalwood table, raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said with a solemn expression, "Everyone, although not all of you are the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee of my small country, but since you are already sitting here, I will treat it with the same heart, and I am willing to share my thoughts with you." ”

Just as everyone was listening carefully, Zi Nanyang's thick eyebrows flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "I believe you have heard about Si Kou's matter today, right?" ”

Qi Rui's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "What Your Highness is talking about is Lian Li's daughter, Lian Xuan, who committed suicide last night because she was defiled by flower thieves?" ”

"Not bad." Zi Nanyang nodded and asked everyone, "I don't know what you think about Si Kou?" ”

What about Si Ko? Why not Lian Xuan? Or the flower thief? Chang Yu asked in his heart.

But at this time, everyone had already started to talk about Lian Xuan's suicide, although most of the people in the scene already knew about it, but there were a lot of details involved in this matter, and everyone heard different things, so everyone exchanged information with each other.

Ling Yi, who was sitting opposite Chang Yu, stood up first, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, last night there was a report from the defenders in the city that they had seen a group of suspicious people near Wei'an City, and most of the flower thieves were among them!" ”

After Ling Yi said this, he looked up at Zi Nanyang, but found that Zi Nanyang was just staring at the desktop expressionlessly, and Ling Yi didn't know how to continue for a while.

"Can Captain Ling catch the flower thief?" Qi Rui saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, and asked with concern.

"Nope." Ling Yi shook his head regretfully and said, "Ling is incompetent, and by the time the defenders assembled, those people had already disappeared. ”

After saying this, Ling Yi secretly glanced at Nanyang again, and his face was a little hesitant.

"Oh...... Ling Duwei doesn't have to blame himself, I remember that the case of tracking down the flower thief has been handed over to the Thorn Golden Gate to deal with, and the Thorn Golden Gate has many eyeliners, and I believe that there will be results in the future. Qi Rui comforted, and when talking about the Piercing Golden Gate, he deliberately glanced at Chang Yu.

Although the eldest prince is at odds with the Assassin Golden Gate, Lord Xiangguo takes better care of my identity, and his assessment of the Assassin Golden Gate is more pertinent, but whether this task has a result or not depends on me, Chang Yu said secretly.

Chang Yu saw the details on Zi Nanyang's face in his eyes, and felt strange in his heart, and was hesitating whether to reveal to Ling Yi that the person who the defenders in the city were chasing last night was himself, and Zhou Shi, who was sitting on Chang Yu's left, said at this time:

"I heard that Si Kou loves his daughter like his life, after Lian Xuan committed suicide, Lian Li is ready to return to his hometown, as soon as Lian Li leaves, the position of Si Kou will be vacant, and who will hold this position is also a question."

When Zi Nanyang heard this, he didn't look up, just stared at the desktop and nodded slightly.

Among the three divisions, Situ and Yuan Li, who are in charge of civil affairs and people's livelihood, and Si Tian and Xu Xing, who are in charge of agriculture, were all personally promoted by Xiangguo Qi Rui, and they are all practical people who are not good at words.

But Fu Yuanxia, who served as Sima, was an old minister of the court, slightly older among the three divisions, although Fu Yuanxia was slightly chubby and clumsy, but his brain was very bright, he had already secretly observed the reaction of everyone on the field, and after Zhou Zhi's reminder, he understood at once.

Fu Yuanxia pulled up his wide sleeved robe, arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, once the position of Sikou is vacant, who should serve it?" ”

Zi Nanyang finally raised his head at this time, his eyes fell on Ling Yi, and he said with a solemn face, "Although the matter of chasing and killing the flower thief has been handed over to the Golden Gate, after all, the flower thief is still committing a crime in Puyang City, and Ling Duwei needs to pay more attention to this matter, after catching the flower thief, it is necessary to punish this person heavily!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!" Ling Yi swept away the hesitation just now, cheered up his spirit, and swore an oath.

Zi Nanyang nodded with satisfaction, glanced at everyone, and said, "What are the good candidates for the vacancy of the position of Sikou?" ”

Chang Yu is also a smart person, and until this time, he had already guessed Zi Nanyang's psychology thoroughly.

In fact, when Zi Nanyang said the matter of "Si Kou", he didn't mean to let everyone discuss the method of catching the flower thief, so when Ling Yi talked about the traces of the flower thief found in the night of the guards, Zi Nanyang was not cold.

Among the people, only Zhou is the best at observing faces and colors, and can see what Zi Nanyang thinks, so he leads the topic to the vacancy, Fu Yuanxia is also an officialdom expert, and asks with Zhou Shi's words, then this discussion of official positions is not started by Zi Nanyang.

Zi Nanyang asked Ling Yi to do his duty to catch the flower thief, regardless of whether Ling Yi took it seriously or not, Chang Yu believed that Zi Nanyang was just saying this, but what he really wanted to discuss was definitely the candidate for the position of Si Kou.

Thinking of this, Chang Yu couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart.
