Chapter 185: Appetizers
The meaning conveyed by Qi to Yang Zhi could not be clearer: Although Jin Zishan is a close attendant assigned to me, he is not my person. The two seem to contradict each other, but in fact there is no contradiction. Not only that, Zhao Qi also pointed to another possibility as if it were clear and dark. Once this almost fantastical possibility becomes a reality, then all the people involved will now become pawns for entertainment, no different from the clowns on the stage!
Yang Zhi was not a startled person, and the thought that flashed through his mind like lightning was quickly suppressed by the living facts just now: everyone has a fatal weakness, even if Jin Zishan is a chess piece that someone has already secretly laid out, there will be a specific price. The crown prince is already a prince, and he is only one step away from the emperor's throne, so what price can he not afford? The queen and Wei Su have already firmly grasped the palace ban with the help of Zhao Tianyang's hand, but Jin Zishan is just an underage prince's close attendant, why dare not buy Zhao Qi's account? How can he command hundreds of guards to confront the infamous Yang Zhi?
When Zhao Qi heard that Wei Su, Wang Yunong and Xu Wenhan had arrived at the same time, he was overjoyed. Except for Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, who is still "bedridden", the four assistant superintendents have reached the third, and in order to entangle another powerful monster who seems to have suppressed them, they almost even dry their saliva. These four characters have arrived, and the rest of the invited civil and military ministers dare not come? The farewell banquet that he scratched his head to make out was half the success to say the least!
At the moment when Yang Zhi's mind was racing, Zhao Qi put on an innocent smile again, waved at Jin Zishan and said, "These three adults are all the ministers of the pillars and bones of Great Xia, how can they wait outside the palace for a long time?" Hurry up, please! β
After the three of them entered the hall to salute Zhao Qi, they greeted each other with Yang Zhi. When the three of them saw Yang Zhi is expression, Zhao Qi saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart.
Wei Su saw Yang Zhi arrive first, and a hint of relief passed across his face. Xu Wenhan smiled silently with blazing eyes, and Yang Zhi responded with a slight shake of his head. Wang Yunong and Yang Zhi have not seen each other for several months, although they have already learned that he has returned to Beijing from Shandong, at first glance, the bearded first assistant prime minister still has a faint look of excitement in his old eyes.
Although a prince of the prison country and four ministers of the "pillar stone" have different thoughts, they are all scheming people. After sitting down and serving tea, it seems to be intimate and warm, but in fact, what he said is not innocuous. This scene is impeccably harmonious and harmonious, and it actually reminds Yang Zhi of CCTV's news broadcast in his previous life.
Soon after the five people greeted each other, with Jin Zishan taking the roll call one by one, Fu Wang Zhao Xing, several cabinet scholars, Zhang Tianxing, Geng Chao, deputy generals of the forbidden army, and several other senior generals of the forbidden army in Beijing, Zhao Tianyang, the general of the Inner Court Guard, the six Shangshu and several Siqing, and Yin ...... of Chang'an Mansion, all arrived in turn, and they were all figures who could exert a certain substantive influence on the current situation of the dynasty and politics. There are far more than these 20 people in the second rank or above Beijing officials, if it is a big banquet for business, it is not appropriate for anyone to be left behind, no wonder Zhao Qi wants to declare that he is invited in a private capacity: I will invite whoever I like, you bite me?
Zhao Qi is the prince of the real prison country, and today he is invited to drink and feast as the host, everyone is his old man's worker, and of course he is the biggest. A cadre has different titles, titles, and grades, and people can be in high positions in the officialdom, and they are naturally familiar with official etiquette. The so-called etiquette is not to blame, if you inadvertently offend your colleagues because of the lack of care on your face, it will be a big deal. After the ministers saluted the king of Yue, they inevitably greeted each other again.
The originally empty and cold hall was suddenly as lively as a bazaar. Everyone knows that Yang Zhi is an uncle who can't be provoked, not to mention that everyone knows that he holds the imperial gold medal, and his theoretical level is not lower than Zhao Qi. So whether he recognizes it or not, it is not arrogant to just symbolically give his hand slightly, it is already the most polite.
Zhao Tianyang entered the hall to pay homage to Zhao Qigang, and Wei Su coughed lightly and looked at Yang Zhi with his eyes. Yang Zhi knew that not only was it difficult to impeach him on the spot last night, but it was also unlikely that he would provoke him in person.
Zhao Tianyang is about thirty years old, with a face full of beards and Chinese characters, a stocky and stout figure, and on the surface, it can be regarded as a powerful Wuzi. He is in the position of the general of the Imperial Guard in the inner court, and he is a member of the royal family surnamed Zhao, although his responsibilities are heavy, compared with those generals who lead the army to fight abroad, his rank is not too high, and the rewards and trophies and other benefits are far less. This person is usually extremely conceited, and he can't look at anyone well, and the military generals of the Chinese court are hindered by the special position he is in, and they all let him score three points.
After Yang Zhi figured out his detailed background through the Qin clan, it was not difficult to understand why this person fell to the side of the prince. It is not very difficult to buy someone who thinks he is noble and pretentious, and who is not satisfied with the status quo, both in terms of cost and technology.
Zhao Tianyang has been with the side of the nine for a long time, Yang Zhi denounced Princess Changxiu in the palace that day, fought Geng Chao in the forbidden army camp school, Geng Chao led the remnants back to Beijing in the Golden Palace to detail his bravery in the desert like a god, it is rumored that he went to the royal court alone to stab the Turkic Tuodu Khan, and after coming back, it was easy to get rid of An Guihou, and the emperor was drunk at the same table so drunk that the sky was dark, and he went out of Beijing to inspect with the power of life and death before the first cut, and welcomed Princess Changxiu back to the house ......on a snowy night, Yang Zhi had many glorious deeds, Zhao Tianyang had seen and heard with his own eyes.
A master like Yang Zhi, Zhao Tianyang can't accept it! Wei Su repeatedly told him that Yang Zhi was neither an enemy nor a friend at present, and he must not be unbearable and ruin the prince's plan. King Yue was "anxious" last night
came out, Yang Zhi directly reprimanded him for having bad intentions and plotting rebellion, and he said that he wanted to take it
Conceit is not the same as stupidity, Zhao Tianyang knows the truth that people have to bow their heads when they are under the roof. My own people were killed for no reason, and I had to take the initiative to apologize to others, which is really not an ordinary bag! But who let him meet Yang Zhi, the plague god? Although he was extremely aggrieved in his heart, his face was red with resentment, and he still bowed his head and walked towards Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi originally wanted to use Zhao Tianyang's head to step on Wei Su's bottom line, but people don't play with you very well. Anyway, at this time, a bunch of people are waiting for food to eat, just like the so-called beating children on rainy days, idle is also idle. Now that the situation is sensitive, the news that he killed the inner court guards yesterday must have spread, why not let a group of civil and military officials see their own qualities?
Seeing Zhao Tianyang approaching, Yang Zhi suddenly turned around and walked towards Geng Chao. Thanks to Yang Zhi's gift, Geng Chao's previous undisguised publicity has been greatly restrained, and the whole person seems to be much calmer. Geng Chao raised his mouth at Zhao Tianyang, with a mocking smile, shook Yang Zhi's hand and asked, "How?" β
Yang Zhi shook Geng Chao's hand heavily, smiled faintly and asked, "How?" β
The two nodded in tacit agreement almost at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.
Just like the boring social drinking party in his previous life, Yang Zhi greeted Geng Chao and talked with Wang Yunong, who had been reunited for a long time. Yang Zhi usually has great respect for this old guy like Mrs. Jiang, and sincerely clenched his fists and said: "Old man, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Are you still in good health these days? β
Wang Yunong is a great Confucian, who attaches great importance to Confucianism's qi cultivation kung fu, believes that "ten thousand words are better than one silence", and pays attention to joy and anger. For more than 20 years, it has read countless ups and downs. He returned the salute with a kind face: "Although the climate in Chang'an is a little cold this winter, the old man's old bones are fine for the time being, and Lao Feihuhou is worried." The Flying Tiger Marquis returned from the inspection by order, presumably he returned with a full load of holy hopes? β
Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "The old man smiled. The inspection is only a small sight, and it is not possible to accomplish all the results overnight. I returned to Beijing this time not only to show the emperor the details, but also to ask the old man for an idea. I don't want to be idle because of the cold climate in Chang'an, so I have to do something else first. β
Wang Yunong nodded and smiled: "Why should the Flying Tiger Marquis be too humble? The emperor is very fortunate to have such a pillar of the Hou Ye! Great summer is very lucky! Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the reunion of all families, the old man is afraid that he will be so tired that Hou Ye will not be able to share his family with his family, Hou Ye will not blame the old man for not being close to people, right? β
Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the old man was not idle, which was implying that he had already recommended Yang Zhi to lead the troops. Hehe smiled: "Why did the old man say this? It's okay to have a bad year, the important thing is to have a good year in the future. β
Yang Zhi said goodbye to Wang Yunong and found King Fu again. Next, as long as you feel that your face is familiar, you will not be salty and go forward to talk a few words. Zhao Tianyang followed him in a big circle, and he didn't catch the gap where he was talking, and his red face gradually turned the color of pig liver, becoming more and more ugly.
Some of the ministers in the hall also saw some clues, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly.
Zhao Qi was condescending, his eyes never left Yang Zhi, of course he understood that he was cold~ Zhao Tianyang. Zhao Qiwei was afraid that Yang Zhi would play too much and even make a difference, so he couldn't help but say in a round: "General Tianyang, this king sees that you are always following the ass of the Flying Tiger Marquis, isn't there money behind him to pick it up?" β
Everyone laughed, and Yang Zhi pretended to be surprised in Zhao Tianyang's head: "Lord Wang, why is this guy here?" Isn't the prince afraid that he will be mad and serve everyone in a pot? β
Yang Zhi's words are very vicious, at first glance it seems to be headless and brainless, but in fact, he clearly refers to Zhao Tianyang, but secretly he is in the shadow of Wei Su. How can a veteran of officialdom who has been in the sea for a long time not hear it? Everyone knew that Yang Zhi was pretentious, but the smiles on their faces were all stiff, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite strange.
Zhao Tianyang was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground, and secretly greeted all the female animals related to the surname Yang ten thousand times. Qiang Zi pressed his anger, bowed to Yang Zhi seriously, and said, "Flying Tiger Hou said that he was laughing!" Yesterday, one of my subordinates rushed into the Hou Ye blindly, although he was guilty of self-inflicted death, but I should also be guilty of lax supervision. Hou Ye is elegant and elegant, and he doesn't have to worry about forgiveness. Today, the blessings of His Royal Highness King Tuoyue are gathered together, and I cheekily implore all my colleagues to guarantee and make amends to Lord Hou here. β
No matter who kills the inner court guards, it is not a trivial matter, and only he, Yang Zhi, can kill the spectacle of the bitter master confessing to the murderer. Zhao Tianyang's reparation was very in place, and everyone couldn't help but scold him for not only being a coward, but also shameless.
Zhao Qi didn't allow Yang Zhi to have the slightest room to be cheap and want to be obedient, so he immediately answered and smiled: "That's it, that's it!" This Wang Yue made a statement for everyone present, and everyone worked together to protect General Tianyang. Flying Tiger Marquis, everyone is a minister in the same palace, don't be unforgiving, right? All of you present today are witnesses, if anyone mentions this matter in the future, it is deliberately to sow discord, that is, it is impossible to get along with this king, with the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and with my Great Xia! - It's not too early, pass the meal and start the feast! β
Under Yang Zhi's deliberate teasing, all the ministers smelled a trace of strange smell from the appetizers before the main meal. In this cold and freezing solar term, many people feel cold sweat on their backs. Who knows what the next dinner will be?
