Chapter 181: The First VIP
Qi's banquet not only disrupted Yang Zhi's plan, but also caused him a lot of problems due to unpredictability. In order to seek preemptive control, Wei Su is very likely to use Zhao Qi's hand to set a trap to coerce the real power figures in the court to comply.
Yang Zhi never doubted Zhao Qi's IQ, but he was also very aware of his strength. Of course, the premise is that Zhao Qi is also considered to be powerful. Could it be that Zhao Qi realized that their mother and son were already in danger, and specially sent someone to inform him to rescue him? No way. Before the crown prince returned to Beijing safely, the queen and Wei Su were still indispensable to King Yue, a puppet who whitewashed the situation, and would not attack Concubine Mei's mother and son for the time being. What's more, if they have the heart to act, according to Weisu's caution, they are afraid that even a fly next to their mother and son will not be able to fly out.
So after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Qifo's nonsense about not being merciful only touched Yang Zhi at best, and he couldn't be moved by any means.
The stakes are so high that it's hard to decide whether to go or not. Of course, Yang Zhi's brain was not short-circuited, and it was impossible to categorically refuse in person. Nodding quietly and smiling, "Got it." I'm just an idler who has never acted for the government, and I don't want to get the opportunity to drink at the same table with so many high-ranking officials and ministers, and His Royal Highness King Yue thinks too highly of me. ”
The eunuch who was ordered to come to invite him couldn't help coughing again and again, and then he still stood respectfully on the side and smiled silently. Who doesn't know that you have the royal gold medal in your hand? Could it be that the emperor is here to watch and play for you? You drank with the emperor and drank so much that you didn't even recognize your own mother, and you still gave Princess Changxiu to the "Fa-rectification" in the drunken country, if you can drink with those so-called high-ranking officials and ministers at the same table, it is that you look up to them too much!
Yang Zhi saw that the eunuch didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, and called Ah Fu to get a thousand taels of silver tickets: "The cold weather is freezing and the New Year's labor father-in-law is hard, a little meaning, and the father-in-law should go and drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”
At that time, the emperor was extremely authoritative, and the harem concubines and eunuchs had neither the opportunity nor the courage to interfere in politics. The status of eunuchs is humble and the silver is very low, even if they get to the position of the eunuch in the palace, the annual salary is only a few hundred taels. It was not easy to get mixed up with the eunuchs with ranks, even if there was occasional gray income in the account, the princes and ministers were already a heavy reward for thirty or fifty taels of silver.
Yang Zhi's silver is easy to come by, and he is usually generous, and the reward is generally fifty taels, and it is common to pay one or two hundred taels at every turn. According to his thoughts, the eunuch in front of him should be regarded as a confidant by Zhao Qi, and if he doesn't reward him, he must not forget it for the rest of his life. A reward of 1,000 taels of silver is enough to make the eyes of any eunuch in the palace glow green! Yang Zhi believes that if he is interested in knowing what color the underwear he is wearing today, I am afraid that he will not hesitate to take off his pants on the spot to show himself!
Unexpectedly, the eunuch did not have half the expected perverted ecstasy, but he did not pretend not to excuse himself, and took the silver ticket and replied as usual: "It is said that the Flying Tiger Marquis is benevolent and generous, so the Sprinkler family will be ashamed to receive your heavy reward." The blessing of the Hou Ye, the Sprinkler family Mo said that it was used to drink, that is, to bathe with wine every day, it was enough to wash for ten or eight years. ”
"Huh?" Yang Zhi frowned slightly, and asked with a smile: "It's funny for you to talk!" Has your prince ever said, when is the feast today? The mansions of these many people are scattered in Chang'an City, and if you come to the door one by one, it will be enough for you to be busy. ”
"Go back to the Hou Ye. His Royal Highness the King of Yue set up a luncheon. Yesterday evening, he ordered the family to pass on the imperial dining room. Today at noon, the feast is being held. Hou Ye has other important things. After calmly disposing of it, you can enter the palace for a banquet. The Marquis of Sprinkle Jialao cares. Lord Hou is the first guest invited by His Royal Highness. The prince commanded. The rest of the civil and military ministers will not send another person to invite them until the Sprinkle family returns to the palace to restore their lives. Even King Fu, Lord Taiwei, and Lord Fuwang are no exception. ”
Oh? What exactly did he want to tell Yang Zhi? Or what does King Yue want to do? The reply of the eunuch is quite intriguing.
"No wonder His Royal Highness King Yue asked you to come to me to preach the message. You're so smart! How many years have you been by the prince's side? And lift up your head, and report your honorable name. We're all acquainted. It's easy to call it when we meet in the future. ”
Yang Zhi smiled kindly. Easy-going as homely. The meaning of friendship is beyond words.
The herald eunuch was still not flattered by the opportunity to climb the big man. Ying Sheng raised his head and smiled: "Master Hou praises falsely." I really don't dare to do it. The name of the Sprinkle family is Jin Zishan. He has been serving the prince for more than three years. Cheap names weren't worth mentioning. Thank you for your heart. The Sprinkle family still has to return to the palace to resume their lives. Don't dare to bother. Otherwise, the prince is afraid that he will have to wait anxiously. ”
"Kaneko-good? That's a good name. I remember you. Go back and tell your lord. I said I would come to the banquet on time. ”
Seeing Jin Zishan's back leave, Yang Zhi's confused eyes flashed with a fierce color: There is such a character beside King Yue, and he has never paid attention to it before! This person seems to be humble but not flattering, intentionally or unintentionally with subtle words, but always calm and calm, and deal with it moderately. Compared with the emperor's personal servant Ma Cheng, there is neither the slightest arrogance of a fox and a fake tiger, nor the bone-eroding yin qi of an ordinary eunuch.
What's more important is that this person has an Adam's apple under his jaw, either he has not been purified into the palace until he has become an adult, or he is ...... It's just a fake eunuch! Did you really underestimate King Yue? If the king of Fuyue succeeds in ascending the throne in the future, he will kill Jin Zishan!
At this time, it was just the end of the hour, and there were still two and a half hours before the feast at noon. "If there is anything important, you can deal with it calmly", Jin Zishan said lightly! There is plenty of time to only go to the palace for a banquet, but if you have to go separately to discuss with Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun, or temporarily notify Geng to change the plan, Yang Zhi has no reliable manpower except for Chang San, and it will be too late to say it!
Didn't Jin Zishan say that King Yue would wait for him to return to his life before inviting others? Instead of guessing, it is better to enter the palace as soon as possible and ask the little bastard directly! Anyway, with Xu Wenhan, it is agreed to wait for Wei Su's movements, and when he breaks into the palace to beat the drum, the time difference between this is enough, even if he has to do it, nothing will be delayed.
Today, we may still be playing in the undercurrent, or we may face bloody battles. Although Yang Zhi had made up his mind to enter the palace immediately, he still asked Ah Fu to instruct him to prepare a decent breakfast as soon as possible. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so I can accompany the old man and the two ladies to have a farewell dinner. Who knows when you'll be able to come back for a meal when you'll be out of the house later?
As the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and whether they are wise or brave, they cannot lack spiritual strength without anything. Although Yang Zhi was obviously absent-minded, he still gobbled up as if he hadn't eaten for a few days. Shen Yu had obviously conveyed Yang Zhi's instructions to the old man and Zhao Yan early in the morning, and the three of them were aware of the abnormal atmosphere during this time, but Yang Zhi was reluctant to say more and they knew that they couldn't intervene, so they all tacitly kept silent during the banquet. said that the family gathered for a farewell dinner, but in fact, none of the three of them had the appetite to get off the chopsticks, but they were just accompanying Yang Zhi to make a show.
Yang Zhi ate and drank enough to wipe his mouth, got up and left without delay: "Today, King Yue will have a banquet to invite, you don't have to wait for me at noon." Yu'er, remember what I told you in the morning! ”
