Chapter 869: The Night Banquet in the Mountain Village (2)
"I don't know if the Zheng family will be divided into two parts because of this, but the Cui family has been divided into two parts, and now even the daughter has been given away." There was also a young man next to him who said disdainfully. He is Zheng Zhou's cousin Zheng Zhenhai, and he also has the identity of Zheng Jibo's son and Zheng Guanyin's younger brother. He was also one of Choi So-so's admirers.
"Here we are." Zheng Zhou's face was not good-looking, he used to be on the side branch at the same time, but now this one is on the big tree, and if he can't get it, he will still be in charge of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and he is still a little annoyed in his heart, but when he was about to refute, he saw Cui Shuzhong, Zheng Shanguo, Zheng Jibo, Lu Danghu and other five patriarchs in the distance appeared one after another, probably got some news.
"Today's five surnames and seven hopes are no longer the five surnames and seven hopes of the past, His Majesty the Emperor is here, so many people go out to greet them together, what a big face!" Zheng Zhou said disdainfully.
"Then you don't have the ability to greet it!" Zheng Zhenhai snorted coldly. For his brother-in-law, his feelings are very complicated, not only because of Li Xin's habits, but more importantly, Cui Susu is his dream lover, but now he is given to Li Xin by Cui's hands, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Zheng, are you just resigned to your fate?" Cui Shuzhong said to Zheng Shanguo beside him: "The emperor's hand is really too ruthless, and he takes the opportunity to weaken our strength. ”
"Life, killing, and plundering, it's all in Junxin, thunder and rain and dew, it's all Jun's grace, what can I do?" Zheng Shanguo felt a burst of disdain in his heart, this Uncle Cui is not a good thing, when he saw Zheng Jibo's actions, didn't he also give his granddaughter to Li Xin strangely? Isn't it for Li Xin to canonize him as the county magistrate, and to take charge of the Cui family in a good name.
"You can't say that, His Majesty the Emperor should be very merciful, say it seriously, I believe Your Majesty is still very reasonable, isn't it like this for thousands of years!" Uncle Cui said with a heavy smile.
"Yes! Brother Zheng if you go and talk about it. I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor will agree. Lu Danghu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Let's say together, Your Majesty also wants to take care of the feelings of our Shandong families." ”
"Hehe, the old man is old, and I don't know how long he can live. Leave this kind of thing to the latecomers! "Zheng Shanguo is not a fool, no one knows what will happen if he comes out first, can he make Li Xin thunderous? Cui's and Lu's just want to make themselves stand out, it's really hateful? Anyway, it's unlucky, and if it's unlucky, it's also unlucky for everyone to be unlucky.
Cui Shuzhong and Lu Danghu glanced at each other, and it was difficult to hide their disappointment. This kind of thing can only be counted after Li Xinsheng's decree comes down, and the only one who can benefit is Zheng Jibo. It's just that what I didn't expect was that Zheng Shanguo didn't come out at this time, which made people curious, could he really accept his fate? The crowd was also amazed.
"The emperor has arrived!" There was a cheer in the distance.
Everyone's discussion suddenly disappeared without a trace, and they all looked into the distance, only to see a fiery red in the distance slowly coming, shining under the firelight. Under the umbrella of Huangluo, a carriage was escorted by the soldiers of the three armies and came from Chaozhanghe Villa.
"The emperor has arrived!" The voice of the Guards came again. Cui Shuzhong and others have complicated eyes, and in the face of Li Xin's unification of the world, these big families also have to bow their heads.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
No matter what these people were thinking in their hearts, when Li Xin's dragon chariot arrived. These people still bowed down respectfully, Cui Shuzhong is like this, Zheng Shanguo is like this. Lu Danghu is like this, and the entire people present have no noble heads, this is the emperor's momentum, and no one will be unhappy because of this.
"Get up!" Li Xin stood up from the car, glanced around, and saw that the soldiers of the Guards had already occupied the villa, and even occupied some commanding heights, so he was relieved and walked out.
At this time, Li Xin was also very sorry for his life, who knows if anyone gave him a look in the dark, and then assisted his son to ascend the throne, these big families are very bold, and what they can't get in their own hands may not be able to get in their own sons. Simply enough, he still has soldiers who are loyal to him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me." Li Xin walked down with a smile, and when he saw Zheng Shanguo, who was kneeling in front of him, he stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Mr. Zheng is old, so he doesn't need to salute." Mr. Cui, also get up. Get up! ”
Li Xin's voice was very peaceful, and his face was full of smiles, but everyone's hearts were at the bottom, because Li Xin's title was so speechless, in the previous dynasty, everyone had a title, and this title was rewarded by Yuwen's family, and then to Yang Jian, Yang Guang and even to Li Yuan, there was no change, and even the treatment was improved.
"Wu Shangong, please get up." What makes people's faces even worse is that Li Xin actually called Zheng Jibo's title, which made everyone as uncomfortable as eating flies, but they were helpless.
"Your Majesty, the singing and dancing in the hall has been prepared, and we are waiting for Your Majesty." Uncle Cui held back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty is handsome, fighting in the field, dedicated to the country, and there is no time to rest on weekdays, and the ministers feel very ashamed, so everyone united and decided to feast on Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty for unifying the world, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world." ”
"It is also my mission to unify the country, but I didn't think about it so much. Haha, Mr. Cui, when I was in Chang'an, I heard that the Shandong family is a family of poetry and books, not only that, but even wealth is the hero of the world, I didn't know it before, but now I can see it, tsk, look, the lights are bright and never sleep. ”
"Your Majesty, this villa is still the royal garden of the Gao clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty back then." Zheng Jibo hurriedly said: "The ministers also used the Gao family's villa to feast Your Majesty. Your Majesty is here, and the ministers have to show a little bit! Tonight's singing and dancing are all invited from Chang'an and Luoyang, and everyone in Xiufang will also appear. ”
"Shang Xiufang?" Li Xin seemed to remember that the famous folk song and dance was called Shang Xiufang, but he didn't expect to see it here again. Suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Come in!" I can relax tonight, too. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, for fear that Li Xin would say something else and make people unable to get off the stage. Cui Shuzhong nodded to Zheng Jibo, followed Li Xin, and entered the hall. (To be continued.) )
