Chapter 77: Counterattack
When the surrounding ministers heard Li Xing's words, they all stretched their necks to look at them, and the sound of discussion instantly sounded in the crowd. The people present really didn't understand the value of Tang Ming's brought, and they were all taken out by a marquis to take out such mundane things and come as gifts to the emperor.
This move made them puzzled and also felt very novel, Tang Ming scolded Fang Xiaoru on the imperial tomb in the morning, and now he has become a celebrity. There was not a single person present who did not know him, who had just accomplished a feat in the morning, and now he had made such an embarrassing incident, which attracted the attention of everyone present.
The ministers all stopped, waiting to see how Tang Ming would answer Li Xing, in their opinion, Tang Ming, as a marquis, would not be so shabby even if he had no money. even brought more than a dozen jars of wine as gifts, and dared to come to the emperor's banquet.
Tang Ming originally wanted not to entangle with Li Xing, but this guy didn't want to let go of himself easily, so he lowered his face and said coldly: "Since Gonggong Li knows that this wine is to be given to the emperor, why bother talking about it now, as long as the things get to the emperor, they will naturally be able to see it, and Gonggong Li is shouting loudly now, I don't know what his intentions are!" ”
Li Xing's face suddenly turned purple, and the chill in his eyes was unabated, staring straight at Tang Ming. The brush in his hand was squeaked by it, and it seemed that he had the intention of putting Tang Ming down directly at any time. After weighing it for a long time, he finally endured it, and said hatefully: "Next!" ”
Tang Ming didn't pay any attention to Li Xing's anger, this was at the gate of the palace, and there were ministers standing around him. In front of everyone's eyes, he was sure enough that Li Xing would never dare to do anything to himself here and now.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, leaving Li Xing with a disdainful sneer, and Tang Ming strode away with a relaxed expression. This move will inevitably cause speculation among the onlookers, and Li Xing has just been appointed by the emperor as the governor of Dongchang. People don't know what is so powerful about this department now.
But they all knew in their hearts that this department was established by the emperor to compete with Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei's status in the Ming Dynasty is so powerful, the ministers naturally know it, but Li Xing, the East Factory, is on a par with Jinyiwei, and it must be a powerful department.
For Jinyiwei, the ministers can't go to the knot, but Li Xing's East Factory is different, and now is the beginning of its establishment. Li Xing also urgently needs the support of some ministers in order to grow up in the shortest possible time and reach the point of competing with Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Li Xing is now the object that the ministers should be, and Li Xing is polite to the ministers' kindness. Tang Ming confronted Li Xing without any mercy just now, the two of them must have hatred, they are both old fritters in the court, and they naturally will not have anything to do with Tang Ming at this moment.
Originally, there were still some people who knew that Tang Ming was Yao Guangxiao's disciple, and they wanted to take the opportunity to get to know each other and stammer. Now they don't even dare to say hello, they all pretend to be deaf and dumb and only treat what happened just now as if they didn't see it.
Tang Ming naturally saw the ministers' indifference to himself, since he didn't give himself a good face, he wouldn't use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts. It's best not to come up to say hello, he was too lazy to deal with these people who are inconsistent, but now he has made himself a lot more worried.
When Tang Ming was about to leave this place, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the crowd: "Hahaha, Tang Hou Ye is worthy of being a son of a master, and he is different from ordinary people, and the old man likes Hou Ye's character like you." ”
Tang Ming was slightly stunned, followed the sound and looked at it, only to see an old man in a brocade robe coming out of the crowd, his tall body in the crowd of civil servants, like standing out from the crowd, extremely conspicuous. This person is none other than the old man Zhang Yu.
There was no battle robe on his body tonight, but he changed into a long gown and brocade robe, like a landlord, which made Tang Ming not recognize him at first glance. When I got closer, I suddenly realized that I could see his face clearly, thinking that among these ministers, the only one who dared to give Li Xing such a faceless was Zhang Yu, an old man, and at this moment, it was not surprising that he had such a performance.
Seeing that it was Zhang Yu, Tang Ming knew in his heart that it must be this old man who was returning his favor, although this was a little inappropriate, but no one was afraid of offending people in person, and he didn't have to worry about it. The old man's performance like this secretly gave Tang Ming some signals.
Old man, I offended Li Xing in front of everyone, showing that he was firmly on Tang Ming's side. Tang Ming naturally understood this, and then put on a smiling face, and said: "Lord Zhang is worthy of being a hero among others, and he is not a talented boy, how about we go together?" ”
The old guy naturally wouldn't refuse ****** proposal, and the two of them actually hooked their shoulders and turned to their sides, and the old man and the young man left Li Xing, who was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and the stunned expressions of the ministers quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Li Xing made a temporary decision just now, wanting to humiliate Tang Ming, but he didn't expect that the humiliation would not succeed, but he lost his face. If the eyes could kill people at this moment, Tang Ming and Zhang Yu would have already been broken into pieces, and Li Xing was worthy of being a scheming person.
was slapped in the face twice in a row, and after only a moment, he was able to calm down as if nothing happened, and this forbearance kung fu can also be regarded as a must. No wonder he has been serving by the short-tempered Zhu Di for so many years, and he has not lost his life, but has been constantly rising.
The venue of the banquet is in the back garden, with rockeries and flowing water, birds singing and flowers, and tables and chairs under the long corridor. The ministers who arrived first gathered together in groups of three or five, and from time to time there would be bursts of hearty laughter, and the palace maids and eunuchs kept shuttling among them to serve wine and food, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
The time has not yet come, the emperor and the queen have not yet come, and the ministers are relatively casual, Tang Ming and Zhang Yu finally came here after some twists and turns. But as soon as the two of them stepped into the arch of the back garden, they met a teenager.
This person is the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, who had friction with Tang Ming some time ago, and the enemy is naturally very red when they meet. Especially Zhu Gaoxu, who is very good at holding grudges, when he met Tang Ming head-on, he was stunned for a moment, and instantly lowered his face.
Not long ago, because he had an unpleasant incident with Tang Ming, he was imprisoned in the heavenly prison by his father, although he was not like a prisoner inside. But the second prince was thrown into prison by the emperor because he quarreled with a marquis.
He had already listed Tang Ming as the target of revenge, if it weren't for his father's ascension to the throne, it is estimated that he would still be in the prison. Unexpectedly, he had just come out for a day, and before he had time to take revenge on Tang Ming, he met in the palace at this moment.
