Chapter 624: Sharp Teeth and Sharp Mouths Talk About Etiquette
Uncle Guo's face also showed a slight displeasure, but it flashed, and he just smiled: "You don't have to wait, you will naturally come, and if you don't come, we can't force it." ”
At that moment, everyone toasted.
Putting down the wine glass, Uncle Guo smiled and said: "You may not know, at dusk today, I just got the news that the Wei people have begun to attack Nanyang Pass, and the war has begun!" ”
As soon as his words fell, everyone was shocked, Han Mo and Cao Yin glanced at each other, but they looked very calm.
The war finally crept in.
Seeing everyone's looks, Uncle Guo laughed and said, "You don't have to worry. Although the Wei people stormed Nanyang Pass, but the military report that came up said very clearly, my soldiers in Nanyang Pass fought bloodily, rubbing the Wei army's spirit, Wei people dropped a large number of corpses, have retreated, as for when the next attack will come, it is not easy to determine for the time being, but with my Daqing Xiong soldiers guarding the border pass, the Wei people are attacking ten times and 100 times, and they can only retreat in embarrassment! ”
Although the relationship between the post-party civil officials and the military has always been bad, but they can repel the Wei people and let everyone's extravagant life continue, everyone is naturally very happy, and there are many people laughing and talking for a while, and many people release the words "the people of Wei are really vulnerable", and they are staggered, as if Qingguo has completely defeated Wei.
I saw one of them stand up, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "In fact, when the Wei people sent troops, the lower officials felt that they had nothing to fear. Although the Wei people have iron horses, they are only suitable for fighting on the plains, and they will not play much role in our Daqing Pass. My Daqing has strong national strength, many soldiers and generals, and barbarians in the west, how can it be my opponent in Daqing? Ladies and gentlemen, the lower officials propose to level the small Wei Kingdom for me, and drink this cup together! ”
For a while, the hall was full of applause, and everyone said: "That's right, this cup should be drunk!" ”
The three of Yan Guo were calm and did not move, but Han Mo expressed his appreciation for the optimism of the people of Qingguo.
When everyone drank the wine in the cup and put down the wine glass, the goatee Qian Zhongcheng immediately bowed his hand to Cao Yin and said: "Chang Dehou, if you don't drink the wine in the cup, do you think that our Qing Kingdom can't destroy the Wei State, or is it because your Yan Kingdom doesn't want the Wei State to be destroyed by my Daqing?" ”
His words were already very presumptuous, and Uncle Guo raised his hand and smiled: "Lord Qian, you drank too much!" ”
Qian Zhongcheng didn't keep his mouth shut, handed the wine cup to the side, and asked the maid to fill his cup with wine, and then swaggered to Cao Yin, holding the wine glass and said: "Chang Dehou, I won the first victory in Daqing, the world celebrates, this glass of wine, I respect you!" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qian Zhongcheng and Cao Yin for a while, only the Pure Yang National Teacher, his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
Cao Yin's expression was calm, even with a faint smile, he didn't pick up the wine glass, but just said with a smile: "I Dayan did not participate in the battle between your country and Wei, so I don't care who wins or loses between your country and Wei." This glass of wine, if it is a Qingguo person, it is natural to drink it, but Benhou is a Yanguo person, and it makes no sense to drink this cup of wine! ”
Qian Zhongcheng sneered: "Since the heart of your country and my Daqing are not in the same place, why do you send your princess over?" Could it be for my Daqing's wealth and minerals? ”
Cao Yin's face was slightly gloomy, and Han Mo understood for a while that this Qian Zhongcheng must be a member of the Hou Party, and the people in the Hou Party were unwilling to form an alliance with Yan Qing, so today he was going to take the opportunity to make trouble here.
Uncle Guo reprimanded: "Lord Qian, don't be presumptuous, Lord Hou is my honored guest, how can you be rude?" ”
Qian Zhongcheng bowed to Uncle Guo and replied: "Uncle Guo, if the people of Yan are sincere in forming an alliance with my Daqing, and their hearts are used in one place with my Daqing, they will naturally be my honored guests in Daqing, but ...... If it is a good fit and there are other plans, then it is a different matter. The lower official lives in the imperial history platform, he has always spoken straightforwardly, and he never hides the words in his heart, but today he just says what he says in his heart, is it wrong? ”
After his words were spoken, many people in the audience stood up one after another and said loudly: "Uncle Guo, what Lord Qian said is extremely true!" ”
"At the beginning, I took the initiative to go to Yan to form an alliance, but it was just for the peace of both sides, and it was the great wisdom of the saints. Who knew that the people of Yan used the people of Wei to make things difficult for me Daqing, and talked for a month, but they did not reach an agreement for a long time, and even put forward outrageous conditions such as land cutting. The saint was also displeased, and ordered to recall the prince of Xihe and the mission, but the Yan people suddenly made a 180-degree turn, took the initiative to send the princess, and wanted to form an alliance with my Daqing, until today, we can't figure out why there is such a big difference in the performance of the Yan people? What exactly do they want to do? ”
"Exactly. Whether the people of Yan really want to form an alliance with my Daqing is still a big question mark to this day! ”
"In the morning of Qin and Dusk, the wind direction of the people of Yan is turning fast!"
The officials of Qingguo did not care about the presence of these envoys of Changdehou, and their speech was extremely ugly.
Han Mo sneered in his heart, before he came to the banquet, he knew that there was no good banquet today, the reprimands of these officials were obviously thought out in advance, and Uncle Guo even knew in advance what was going to happen today, otherwise Qian Zhongcheng would never have the courage to talk back to Uncle Guo, and it was even more impossible for these Qingguo officials to make a big deal at the reception banquet in Uncle Guo's mansion.
The middle hall was noisy, and Qian Zhongcheng was even more proud, holding a cup, standing in front of Chang Dehou's seat, and he had no intention of retreating.
Seeing this scene, Song Shiqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, finally mustered up his courage, stood up, and said loudly to that Qian Zhongcheng: "Lord Qian, my Dayan married the princess to the prince of your country, for the sake of the overall situation, just for the peace of your two countries. Now you are talking nonsense here and disrespecting the Hou Ye with the courage of wine, are you deliberately sabotaging the alliance between the two countries of Yanqing? ”
This Song Shiqing can be sent to Qingguo, naturally he is not incompetent, and his eloquence is also a little bit.
Song Shiqing's neutrality was full, and when he said this, although the audience was quite mixed, everyone still heard it very clearly.
That Qian Zhongcheng turned his head, saw Song Shiqing standing tall, smiled, and said, "Didn't ask for advice?" ”
"This official is Song Shiqing, the waiter of the Great Yan Rite Department!" Song Shiqing knew that it was about Yan Guo's national dignity, and although countless eyes were focused on him, this waiter of the Ministry of Rites still puffed up his chest and looked directly at Qian Zhongcheng and replied.
Qian Zhongcheng glanced at Song Shiqing up and down a few times, suddenly turned his head, and asked the Qingguo officials, "Everyone, Yan Guo...... There is also a ceremonial department? Yan Guoren...... Do you know what etiquette is? ”
His question immediately caused laughter, and the people of Qingguo laughed presumptuously, and a celebrity shook his head and said: "The gift of the world, as far as the north is left, and the east is destroyed in the west!" ”
Mocking laughter resounded through the wide atrium.
Cao Yin's face was cold, but he still remained calm, while Han Mo held a wine glass and drank calmly.
Song Shiqing was ridiculed by Qian Zhongcheng, and when he heard the laughter in the hall, his face suddenly turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Qian, you Qingguo claims to be a state of etiquette, is it so disrespectful and full of nonsense?" Qingguo people boast of their literary style, and they are also self-proclaimed splendid and prosperous places, that is, even the common people are familiar with poetry and etiquette, before they arrived in Qingguo, the official was still a little suspicious, but today I saw the style of Lord Qian, that is...... Even more skeptical! “
Han Mo held the wine glass, glanced at Song Shiqing, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this Yan Guo's ceremonial waiter also had a bit of backbone and courage, and finally did not embarrass Yan Guo.
It's just that Song Shiqing's words suddenly aroused greater indignation among the people in the hall, and Qian Zhongcheng stepped forward, looked at Song Shiqing viciously, and sneered: "This official knows that you Yan people are not well-intentioned, nominally they want to form an alliance with my Daqing, but in fact they just want to extort my Daqing's wealth." To tell you the truth, I have a lot of things to do, and those things for you are just a drop in the bucket! You call yourself the waiter of the Yan State Rite Department, then you must also be a talented person, otherwise how can you make your Yan Guo students worship. The Ministry of Rites presided over the Beijing Examination, and it would not be a group of wine bags and rice bags who did not know poetry and books sitting in the teacher's seat to face many students. It's just that...... If you are famous, I will always know a little bit about the celebrities of Qingguo, but I don't know if you have a famous work? He turned around and asked a group of celebrities in the seat: "Gentlemen, but I don't know if you have heard of the talented man Song in Yan State?" Have you heard of any of his famous sentences? ”
Some of the celebrities shook their heads, some stroked their beards, and some closed their eyes and remained silent, but most of them clearly expressed their disdain on their faces.
"Lord Song, all of you here are my Daqing celebrities, but if there are talented and famous people in the world, you gentlemen will be able to know their names." Qian Zhongcheng said with a smile: "Since none of you gentlemen have heard of Lord Song's reputation, I am afraid that Lord Song's talent and learning are really not worth mentioning." This official also got a glimpse of the whole picture from Lord Song's talents, and knew what kind of yamen your Yan Guoli Department was? I'm afraid that if you hold a few broken books in your hand and hold a few flagpoles, the so-called Ministry of Etiquette is ......! ”
The unscrupulous rage suddenly made a burst of laughter in the hall, that is, the maids who were waiting on the side, and some of them couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly, which made Yan Guoren lose face, which made everyone in Qingguo present feel extremely happy.
Song Shiqing's face was distorted, and he said angrily: "You...... You are presumptuous. As an official, just do your due diligence, so why ...... Why do you need to write poems, and what is the use of them? ”
"If you don't know poetry, how can you know the way of ancient and modern sages? If you don't understand the ways of ancient and modern sages, how can you govern the country and secure the country? Qian Zhongcheng is worthy of being the Yushi Zhongcheng of the Imperial History Tower, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, sharp words, and extremely tricky and vicious speech: "People who have no talent and no virtue who do not learn and have no skills will use reasons like Lord Song to cover up their ignorance!" ”
In fact, the three people present in Yan Guo knew that the other party was deliberately provoking, and the purpose was to arouse the anger of a few people.
The Yan delegation entered the celebration, and the eyes of the whole Qingguo were staring at them.
Song Shiqing knew that the other party was prepared to make trouble today, just to arouse his anger, he took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and sneered: "Lord Qian, you and I have formed an alliance between the two countries, and this official doesn't want to be unpleasant today." It's just that you have to remember that the wealth and minerals that your country gave me Dayan are not what my Dayan wants, but what your country wants to give! ”
Qian Zhongcheng smiled, but he drank all the wine in the cup, and said in a weird manner: "It's like ...... Do you want to send the princess to you? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound of "choking", and Han Mo, who was sitting next to Song Shiqing, was actually in the midst of lightning and flint, pulling out the blade of the saber from the table, and the blade of the saber flashed, and the blade of the saber had already pressed against Qian Zhongcheng's throat.
This time it was extremely abrupt, everyone just saw the shadow around Qian Zhongcheng for a moment, and when they saw it clearly, they saw Han Mo standing tall, with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a knife, and the cold blade was directly attached to Qian Zhongcheng's throat.
Everyone suddenly changed color, the uncle on the main seat was also dumbfounded, and Cao Yin couldn't help frowning, only the pure yang national teacher who had never spoken was still solid, as if he had fallen asleep.
