Chapter 973: The Feast
Zheng Yu finally made a move. Although the Liliang of the family is invisible like water, once it is used, it is majestic and majestic, like a river, it is it when it trickles silently, and it is also it when it swells and roars to destroy everything.
In today's Chang'an, there are only families who have the ability to bring together the thousand-year-old families and century-old wealthy families who are hostile to each other and calculating each other, and the families of the nobles and magnates who took root in Chang'an since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the important ministers and dignitaries from all walks of life who are now accompanying the officialdom of the capital.
On this day, downstairs in Furong on the bank of the Quchi River, the carriages and horses are flowing, and it is very lively, many important people who are usually rare to see, and stomping on the nine cities have rushed here, and they are qualified to appear on the Furong Tower, any one of them is a pivotal party of dignitaries.
There are not a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries who have been received by Furong Building, but it is the first time that so many powerful people have come at one time, and the big shopkeeper of Furong House has personally come to pretend to run the hall, for fear that his men will make some mistakes to make people look at them, today's meeting, it is not an exaggeration to say, that is the entire Chang'an. All the leading figures who control the city and ensure its functioning are here today.
The time has not yet come, but most of them have arrived, these big people are usually used to letting a table of people or a group of people wait for him in front of the banquet, but no one dares to hold it up today, they are not to give Chen Dong and Hu Yuanli face, but because among the characters who come today, there will always be an old guy, and the status of seniority is above him.
Chen Dong and Hu Yuanli have not yet arrived, with their current status, if they are from Chang'an, if they have returned to their hometowns at this time, then by virtue of their birth and status, they can become a member of the gentry, and most of the people at the table at this moment are brothers. But on occasions like today, they may not be able to attend enough.
But now it is different, now they are in power, as a messenger, the judicial power of Chang'an is now in their hands, the power in their hands is not as stable as these wealthy families, but they are in the hands of the emperor at the moment, once the power is in hand, it is like holding an indestructible unsheathed sword, who dares to plunder its edge?
So. Although they have not yet arrived, the dignitaries from all walks of life are still waiting patiently, they are not fledgling hairy boys, and they will not be swept away with a little contempt, of course. Chen Dong and Hu Yuanli's contempt for them will pay a price sooner or later, but not now......
Now the lethality of these two-stirring sticks is still quite large. They stirred up the whole Chang'an turmoil, what do they want to do? Do you want to emulate Zhou Xinglai's group of cool officials in order to get lucky? This is not before the empress ascended the throne, nor is it when the empress first ascended the throne, it is a big joke to want to be a lonely minister and a cool official!
At the same time, a unique peace talks were also held in Bashang.
There was no intermediary like Zheng Yu to mediate between them, but after the leaders of both gangs were controlled by the government. The helmsmen and stewards of the two sides tried to make contact, and gradually reached a consensus.
The fundamental purpose of the reason why they are fighting openly and secretly is that they want to grasp more resources and interests in Cao Yun, and they do not want to die together. Now the heads of the two sides have been swept away, entangled in lawsuits, the dragons on the Ba Shang are leaderless, the river is thawing, the ice of the Wei River is thinning day by day, and every time the sun shines warmly, the ice ridges hanging under the eaves begin to tick and drip.
The water drips on the ground, but it is like a drumstick knocking on their hearts, they are anxious, the water transport has to use the river water network, and the river water network is not always suitable for boating, some sections of the river can only be sailed in the flood season, and some sections of the river can only be sailed after the flood season because the water is too fast.
The complexity of the water situation has a great relationship with the climate, once the trip is delayed, the entire Cao Yun will be greatly affected, and they will not be able to earn if the Cao Yun is affected, what will more than 100,000 people eat in the coming year? In view of this, now the gang disciples who are attached to the Eastern and Western Alliances have put pressure on the various stewards, and they really can't afford to hold it off.
After noon, Hu Yuanli of the Yushitai and Chen Dong of the Criminal Department were still nowhere to be seen, and the nobles from all walks of life on the Furong floor began to exchange ears and discuss, and the anger was overflowing: these two people dared to be so big, seeing that the time for the banquet was approaching, they really dared to let the magnates of Chang'an sit here?
Downstairs, Zheng Yu was like an ant on a hot pot, the weather was particularly cold, but he was sweating profusely. The people who heard the news all the way were sent out, but the two Qincha were never seen back.
Chang'an Mansion ordered Liu Yitian to take a gap to come down from the Furong Tower, find Zheng Yu, and said with an unkind face: "Virtuous nephew, why haven't you been able to get people, but you have made an agreement with them?" ”
Zheng Yu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said to Liu Xiantian: "The little nephew sent an invitation to Chen Baixian and Chen Xuanlang the day before yesterday, and they naturally shirked it at first. ”
Liu Yitian listened, and then eased the color, and when Hu Yuanli and Chen Dong said so, they agreed. Chinese people are very particular about a subtle, euphemistic and proportionate, rarely talk to death, like Westerners go straight to the bottom, "if you have time, you must participate", that is actually agreed, the so-called yes, but pretending to be reserved, take the identity.
Liu Yitian nodded, and said: "In this case, the official will go upstairs first, the guests upstairs are a little displeased, the official will go to appease you, you don't have to wait here blindly, if it doesn't work, send someone to urge it again." ”
Zheng Yu hurriedly said, "Thank you Uncle Shi, there is Uncle Lao Shi." ”
Liu Yitian nodded, lifted his robe, slowly climbed the steps, and just stepped on three steps, he heard someone behind him shouting urgently: "Childe, Childe, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Imperial History Observatory sent a message, saying that they were busy with official business and had no time to go to the banquet, and they would apologize to Gongzi in person another day." ”
Liu Yitian stepped on the air and almost fell, he hurriedly held on to the railing, Huo Ran turned his head, and saw Zheng Yu's face as pale as paper, standing there in despair, and said in a daze: "How is it possible?" How could they not come? How dare not come! ”
Liu Yitian stood silently for a moment, climbed two steps again, stopped and thought about it, suddenly shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked down the steps.
"Uncle Shi......"
Zheng Yu's eyes looked directly at Liu Xiantian, Liu Xiantian did not look sideways, walked calmly past him, and instructed a family member who walked up quickly: "Prepare the car." Go home! ”
Soon the news spread upstairs, the upstairs was silent, no one made a loud noise, and the powerful people who had been waiting for a long time just got up silently, walked out one by one, and walked past the stunned Zheng Yu, as if he didn't exist at all.
Those present here are either officials and magnates who are very deep in the city government, or noble relatives and elders, even if they are angry, they will not be like a cannon fight. They vent their humiliation and anger with name-calling and ranting, but their silence is more terrible than ranting.
Zheng Yu's face was as pale as paper, his figure was shaky, and he just muttered to himself: "How is it possible?" How dare they not come? ”
He really couldn't figure out how Hu Yuanli and Chen Dong dared not come. Either they don't say yes at all, and since they do. Zuihou put everyone together again. Do they really think that they can be invincible by holding the order of the Son of Heaven?
They don't understand that this is to offend all the Shili groups in Chang'an? They don't understand that even if no one has anything to do with them at the moment, but the ensuing pervasive counterattack of so many Shili groups in Chang'an will sooner or later leave them dead without a place to bury?
They...... Why don't you dare not come?
However, no matter how he couldn't figure it out, he knew that Hu Yuanli and Chen Dong were not finished yet. He is finished, from now on, he has become a joke in Chang'an City, and these humiliated people will not hesitate to inflict mockery and humiliation on him. He will be rejected by everyone, including his family.
Zheng Yu suddenly began to regret it: "I want to take this errand?" When everyone else is far away, I'm going to rush to do this kind of thing? Lu Binmi, Lu Binzhi, Cui Lin ......, one by one, they were all planted, and even Shen Mu was troubled by the Yanyun Dan Sanzhou incident, and now he is avoiding Luoyang and refuses to say goodbye to him, I weishenme......"
When I saw Yang Fan, I was mistaken!
On the wharf, the Caokou helm, the Caoquan helm and the main steward of the Western League gangs such as the Five Elements Society, the Circle Gate, and the Taiping Gang sit on the left side, and the main figures of the ASEAN gangs such as the Shunzimen, the Sun Moon Alliance, and the Three Rivers Society sit on the right side, with clear barriers on both sides, and the middle is empty, there is no Xiang Bo who dances the sword, and the sword is between their lips and teeth.
Although both sides have the idea of calming things down, neither side is willing to make big concessions to the other. For the ASEAN gangs such as Shunzimen, their leaders only remained in the criminal department as witnesses, while the leaders of the Western League gangs were detained, and they had the upper hand.
The Western Alliance gangs believe that now that all parties in Chang'an are on their side, if the two sides continue to stalemate, they may not lose. Both sides have their own reliance, so naturally they are not willing to make too many concessions.
However, the leaders of the two sides were detained, and it was the government that had the final say on whether to release the people, and what they had to discuss now was to give up the fight and let the boat go south, if no agreement could be reached, everyone's jobs would be affected, and the necessary compromises and concessions were necessary, so both sides were very patient.
Gu Zhuting also sat on the seat as the helmsman of Shunzimen Caoquan, her attention did not seem to be on the negotiation between the two sides, her eyes always seemed to be quietly to the side, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes seemed to ...... There is an indescribable joy, yes, joy, like a new daughter-in-law.
Behind her, stood a row of majestic men, all dressed in short stubs, among them a bearded man, very handsome and mighty, like other strong men, deliberately pulling up his sleeves and trouser legs, exposing his calves and forearms, whose striped muscles showed their strength and strength.
That is the lover she will accompany for the rest of her life, he is there, Gu Zhuting's heart is like drinking honey, sweet.
At this time, a few people in the distance quietly approached the two sides of the negotiation under the cover of the ships repaired on the dock and the goods to be transported, and the sun shone on them, a little cold in their sneaky movements.
Bashang, in the past, it was the place where Pei Gong Liu Bangtun soldiers, he confronted Xiang Yu's army here, zuihou performed a Hongmen banquet, will there be a Ba Shang banquet here today?
P: I recorded a show in Beijing today, and I saw many actors such as Article, Yang Kun, Liu Tao, Cai Shaofen, Qi Wei, Chen Qiaoen, etc., and the beauties I found were tall and slender, and they were really like willows in the wind, I really don't know why the shooting was turbulent, I can't figure it out. But the most important thing is that when a very tall beauty came to the stage, she thought of tonight's update, so she resolutely left the table and slipped back, what kind of spirit is this? Insist on updating and don't stop reading the beauty and don't look at it, but also serve my readers to drop the spirit.,haha,Sincerely ask for monthly tickets、Recommended tickets!。 (To be continued......)
