Chapter 854 Hou's Family Banquet

The family banquet is attended by ministers and is also a major feature of the general's mansion.

Of course, this is not Wang Yu's originality, other princes, and even the former Son of Heaven, sometimes have this kind of action, which can be regarded as a link in the emperor's mental art, both grace and power.

At first, the civil and military ministers of Qingzhou also thought so, but after a long time, everyone found out that the lord had no deep intention to invite guests to dinner, it was just a habit. If it must be accurately described, it is the feeling that the farmer in the countryside has collected three or five buckets more, is in a good mood, and pulls his neighbors and friends to drink some wine.

Over time, everyone quickly became accustomed to it, and even slowly formed some default unspoken rules. Being able to participate in the family banquet in the General's Mansion itself represents a person's identity, regardless of the level of official position or power, and being qualified to be left for dinner represents the circle that enters the highest level of Qingzhou.

In fact, Wang Yu just retained some habits of later generations, but his inadvertent actions also led a trend.

Nowadays, even the boss of the merchant will invite the guys from the shop or caravan to have a meal at home from time to time, the situation is not so formal, and the topics discussed at the wine table are relatively relaxed, which has a good effect of bringing each other closer and uniting people's hearts.

Wang Yu was also unexpected, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem to hurt much, and he simply took advantage of this trend to further launch the round table.

The etiquette of the Han Dynasty was to divide the food, the host knelt on the top, set a small table in front of him, and the guests sat on the left and right sides, according to the number of people, rows of table tables. The large space left in the middle is for dancers and actresses to perform. The image is not like a dinner party, but more like a lecture in a large classroom.

Wang Yu is not used to this, if it is a formal occasion, these etiquettes will have a solemn and solemn feeling, but if it is usually like this, it will be too disturbing. Chairs and round tables are not very technical things Wang Yu naturally will not miss it, and with an order, these things appeared hundreds of years in advance.

In addition to increasing intimacy, the round table also has the meaning of equal dialogue regardless of superiority and inferiority, and became famous in later generations because of the samurai of the round table. Wang Yu didn't think so much about it when he invented it, but as the round table became popular in Qingzhou, this meaning was quickly extended by those who had a heart, and it was covered with a layer of sacred color.

Of course, there will definitely be no sprouts of freedom and democracy in Qingzhou now, and people are chasing round tables mainly out of the psychology of vassal elegance. The ministers thought that this was a means for the lord to entrap his subordinates, although it was not in line with the courtesy, but it was precisely because it broke the rules that it was doubly precious, and the effect was also very good.

It's been a lot, and the three of Jia Xu are also quite familiar, and they can't see any crampedness or uneasiness in their expressions, especially Tai Shici, who is completely salivating and lazy, obviously not treating himself as an outsider.

Wang Yu sat down first, the left hand side was reserved for the ministers, and the right hand side was a group of married or unmarried wives - only eight of the nine ladies were present, although Lu Qiling had changed her words to call Wang Yu her husband, but she was frightened by her mother's letter, for fear that she was pregnant before the war, so she could not continue to lead the troops to fight, so she has been hiding in the barracks for a while and refusing to go home.

Wang Yu also let her, because there were too many wives, he couldn't count them for a while, just now when Jia Xu analyzed the situation, he only named seven, but Wang Yu also subconsciously thought that he had seven wives, and when he entered the house, he accidentally forgot Huang Yueying and Zhen Mi,......

You can't blame yourself for your poor memory, the key is that you spend too little time together and too many people. Not to mention those unmarried, even their own sons don't look at themselves right, timidly, completely looking at strangers' eyes, it's been almost a month since they returned home, and they didn't hear their son shout 'Dad'.

Wang Yu was also helpless, in his previous life, he often heard some comrades-in-arms who had become a family complaining, saying that they were on missions all year round, and they didn't dare to call when they went home. At that time, Wang Yu didn't get married and started a family, so he didn't experience this feeling, but he just heard it, but he didn't expect that after this era, he actually let him meet him.

In this case, Wang Yu could only smile bitterly. Thinking that anyway, before the next big war came, he should stay in Gaotang for at least a year, but he could make up for it a little.

Think about it, the ancients were extra sentimental about parting and extra nostalgic for their hometown, which is not without a reason. In this era, transportation and communication are very inconvenient relationships, people are gone for half a year, many times even a message can not be obtained, if you see too many people during this time, you will really forget about your family.

By the time Wang Yu finished sighing in his heart, the dinner was almost over. Everyone is accustomed to the food sharing system, but no one gives him food or anything, and there is also a saying in the Analects that 'food is silent, sleep is silent', he does not speak, others only think that he is thinking, and naturally he will not interfere with words.

The dishes of this meal are not to be said, just Xiao Qiao's hand-blended spoon with the color of the country is enough to make people intoxicated, and the taste of this dish is not inferior to Xiao Qiao's appearance and demeanor, which is completely impeccable.

At present, the most concerned about the upcoming war in Qingzhou is the topic of discussion.

"Pang Degong and Mr. Chengyan have already agreed, but Pang Degong's family business is not small, and the Huang family in Jingzhou is even more luxuriant, originally the concubine arranged for Runan to leave Jingzhou, but now Yuan Shu's attitude is ambiguous, and things have become quite tricky, does the husband have a good way to deal with it?"

At present, the content that Diao Chan is responsible for in the Intelligence Department has gradually begun to shift internally, but the task of taking over the exit of several major families in Jingzhou involves Huang Yueying, and the Intelligence Department must go all out, and Diao Chan is not easy to avoid suspicion.

In fact, as early as when Pang Tong and Huang Yueying decided to stay in Qingzhou, Wang Yu sent an invitation to Huang Chengyan and others, and these people are also very famous, although they may not be able to adapt to the military and political system in Qingzhou, but it is no problem to give lectures or something.

Although the academy is presided over by Cai Yong and supported by Cai Yan, the former is old after all, and he has to be distracted to write the Later Han Book, and the latter, as the mother of Qingzhou, cannot show his head at will, and there are always some hidden worries.

If there is Pang Degong, Wang Yu will not have to worry about the education system at all, the latter has already opened a academy in Lumen Mountain, and most of the famous people in Jingxiang have listened to lectures in the academy, needless to say, knowledge and experience are also extremely rich.

Not to mention Zhuge Liang's family, Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin is also a very talented figure, and what is even more gratifying is that I don't know if there is a deviation in history or how, Wang Yu learned from Zhuge Liang that Zhuge Jin has not yet become a leader.

The stalls in Qingzhou are getting bigger and bigger, and the more talents there are, the better, and this kind of buy-one-get-one-free buy-and-sell is more cost-effective.

However, he invited several times, but they were all politely declined by that side.

These families can be called families, the Zhuge family moved out from Langya, and the Pang and Huang families are deeply rooted in Jingzhou, how can they give up their hometown and leave their homeland easily?

They are willing to let their children come to Qingzhou, mainly out of the survival wisdom of the family, and bet on many sides to ensure that no matter which side wins power in the future, their family name and bloodline can be passed on.

People refuse to come, Wang Yu will not force it, anyway, Liu Biao is a person who is more than enough to defend and unable to forge ahead, and when the Qingzhou soldiers come to Xiangyang City, Bacheng is a situation of despair, and there is no need to be too nervous.

What's more, at that time, he was focused on the Northern Expedition, and it was impossible to be distracted from these details. Unexpectedly, when the dust of the Northern Expedition settled, Cao Cao came up with the gimmick of dividing the three families, and the plan was implemented thoroughly, so it was impossible not to be nervous.

Cao Cao is a guy who has a record of kidnapping hostages, and the status of Pang Tong and the three of them in Qingzhou is becoming more and more important, and it will be fatal if they are also made like Xu Shu in history.

In a sense, now Huang Yueying's role is greater than that dragon and phoenix, Qingzhou's embryonic industrial system is completely dependent on the integration and guidance of this talented superhuman girl, so that today's situation is possible, if she has an accident, the system will not collapse, but it is definitely impossible to maintain the speed of development.

After the sudden change in the situation, the Intelligence Department also took measures at the first time, and everyone's families did not care, mainly the immediate family members had to be rescued. Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong are also experienced for a long time, and they will not know the seriousness of the problem and how to make a choice.

The intelligence department still has some forces at its disposal in Jingzhou, and it is not too difficult to mobilize them to protect dozens of old and weak people from leaving Jingzhou, but it is even more difficult to cross hundreds of miles of enemy-occupied territory.

Wang Yu wanted to drive Yuan Shu away, but this thing was like a ghost, and he didn't let go, and if he wanted to solve this dilemma, he really couldn't get around him.

"Just get in touch with Yuan Shu and support him to be the emperor, anyway, it's a name, and there's nothing to care about." Tai Shi Ci interjected, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he was a little flustered, and waved his hand: "Otherwise, I will fool him and say that it is okay, anyway, it is just empty words, let's regret it afterwards, and there is nothing to be done about it, so let's take people out first." ”

Jia Xu shook his head and explained this common-sense mistake a little: "Yuan Shu is not unscrupulous, but he is used to being willful, and he feels that it is natural for others to follow him, so he seems unconscionable, and he also knows that empty words are useless, since we are such a tight character to pass through Runan, how can he let go of this good bargaining chip?" ”

"That's the same......" Tai Shici patted his head, looking like he suddenly realized.

Jia Xu ignored him, turned to Wang Yu and proposed: "Now it's just to ensure safety, you don't necessarily have to go to Qingzhou, although Jingnan is in turmoil, but Yizhou has been peaceful for a long time, and Liu Junlang is not an ambitious person, as long as you escort people to Yizhou, you will naturally be ......."

"Liu Junlang?" Wang Yu was stunned, and said in his heart that it was a stinky and shameless person, and he actually gave himself such an arrogant name, and he reacted when he heard the word Yizhou, Jia Xu said Yizhou Mu Liu Yan Liu Junlang.

"Report ......" Before Jia Xu could give any further explanation, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and it was actually the emergency army reporting to the scene.

"Lord Qiqi, it's an emergency military situation from Luoyang!" The guards reported loudly, and everyone was in their hearts.

Wang Yu's expression on his face was like an ancient well, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Submit it!" ”

"Whoa!" The guards pushed the door open and handed the letterhead with both hands.

Wang Yu took a look at it and found that the credit was not a cipher text, obviously the content was about the movements of the enemy army, and there was no need to keep it secret.

"My lord?" Jia Xu asked on the side.

"Let's take a look." Wang Yu handed the letter to him casually, and when Jia Xu saw it, he immediately gasped.

The rules of the Intelligence Department outside the Department are that if there is an urgent military situation, it can send a briefing briefing first, and there is no need to thoroughly investigate it before reporting it in detail, which is for the sake of timeliness. This information is a briefing letter, with only a few lines on it, which is clear at a glance, but the content is very amazing.

“…… Luoyang formed an alliance with Yizhou, and Cao Cao promised to support Liu Yan's youngest son Zhang as emperor, and release his eldest son Fan and second son! (To be continued,
