The author said: People are in good spirits at happy events, and today I will add another chapter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone looked at the table, and saw that the object thrown by this beautiful woman was nothing else, but a palm-sized piece of gold cake, and the size of this gold cake was half a catty, to say the least. This half a catty is eight taels, and eight taels of gold is worth eighty taels of snowflakes and silver, so you have to drink eighty glasses of liquor.
The young man didn't expect that the woman he fancied was so generous, and he weighed the wine glass, and poured it full, not to mention half a tael, forty taels, that is, two and a half catties of liquor, and drank it, and he had to drink it to death.
Seeing him standing in place, Yiran sneered: "Hmph! Isn't it enough for you to drink? With that, he took out another piece of gold cake from his bosom and threw it on the table, and threw it on the ground with the same "bang".
The onlookers exclaimed again with a "boom", and their eyes brushed their eyes at the young man who came to stir up trouble.
The young man was already stunned at this time, looking at the two yellow gold cakes on the table, and then at the stunning woman standing in front of him, as if in a nightmare, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and said, "This ...... This...... This ......" could no longer say the second word.
Qiu Yizhi watched very happily on the side, but thinking that this was at the feet of the Son of Heaven after all, and in full view of everyone, this young man who provoked and found fault was also the son of an adult in the court, so it was not good to make things stiff, so he smiled and said: "My young lady is joking with a few people, please don't take it to heart." If there is nothing to do, please avoid it, we haven't finished this meal yet! ”
The young man had been frightened by the reversal of the situation, as if he had not heard Qiu Yizhi's words, and there was no reaction from top to bottom. It was still an entourage he brought who reacted a little faster, took the ladder handed by Qiu Yizhi, and said to the young man: "Young master, I'm afraid we recognized the wrong person, let's go!" ”
Only then did the young man react, ignoring the laughter of the crowd, and kept saying, "Okay, good, go, go!" As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk outside the door of the incense hall.
Yiran on the side said, "What? Want to go? Weren't you pretty good just now? We want to go and you won't let you go, you want to go now? It's not that easy! ”
The other attendant brought by the young man was not as knowledgeable as his companion, and asked with a big grin, "What?" What more do you want? ”
"It's not good, what your master just said, a glass of wine for one or two silver, give me a drink." Yiran pointed to the gold and wine glasses on the table, his tone soft and firm.
The entourage was immediately enraged by Yiran's words, and when he saw that the other party was just a woman, he shouted hoarsely: "You don't give Lao Tzu an inch here, and watch Lao Tzu give you some color!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and was about to move forward.
But he didn't move half a step forward, but a big hand grabbed him by the shoulder, pressed him to the ground, and could no longer move.
Qiu Yizhi raised his eyes and saw that it was none other than Yiran's guard and helper. It turned out that Ye Lu didn't know whether to follow the arrangement or make his own opinion, since he beat the county lord Yiran and Qiu Yi to go out to visit the capital Luoyang, he has been following the two of them from a distance, until someone is wild, and then he stops it.
Qiu Yizhi also made a move, lest the matter get bigger and bigger, so he hurriedly said: "Don't hurt this person, let them go." ”
Ye Lu listened to Qiu Yizhi's orders, and saw that the county lord had no objections, and finally let go of a pair of big hands like iron tongs.
The attendant, who was easily subdued, jumped up from the ground and scolded: "What kind of hero are you to hurt people with a secret arrow!" There is a kind of one-on-one, Lao Tzu lets you see how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has! "Anyway, if you swing your fist, you will come up and hit Yelu.
Hearing this, Yelu turned his head to look at the attendant, a pair of small eyes deeply embedded in the eye sockets seemed to be about to shoot light, and glared at the man hard.
The entourage was so frightened by Yelu's sharp eyes that he forcibly withdrew his fist, but shouted to his companion: "Lao Wang, what are you still doing in a daze, let's fight from both sides and kill this bastard who doesn't know what to do!" ”
The slightly sensible entourage heard this, and knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, so he let out an "oh" and punched from behind Yelu.
The actions of the two were under Yelu's control, and I saw him squatting down, spreading his hands, and pushing the chests of the two people in front of him. This was also extremely powerful in Lu's hand, and with such a hard push from him, the two attendants immediately took half a step back. He didn't wait for the old moves, and grabbed the raised wrists of the two people with both hands, and pulled them hard to his chest, and the right hands of the two people dislocated at the same time in an instant, and they were no longer able to hit people.
The onlookers saw that such a man who looked like a bearded man was killed in the middle of the way, and he subdued the two wild minions with only one move, and they all felt happy in their hearts, and they shouted "good" one after another.
Qiu Yizhi saw that the matter had become a big trouble, and was thinking about how to get out of the end, but saw a team of officials walking into the incense hall and shouting: "What are you arguing about? What is the noise? By the orders of the head, starting today, this venue will be closed! ”
When everyone heard this, they instantly fell silent, and their heads turned to stare at the person who spoke. Qiu Yizhi saw that the leader of the team was not dressed as a military general, but was wearing a six-grade civil official robe, and his face also had this bit of bookish air, and he thought: Isn't that person seeing a dispute here, and secretly reported to the official? But the capital is dealing with this matter either by the arrest of Jingzhao Mansion or by the minions of the Quanshan Division, how could the yamen arrange a civil official?
Just when he was puzzled, a half-old came out of the incense hall, with a flattering smile on her face, and greeted the official and said, "Yo, this master." Our incense hall has always been law-abiding and tax-paying according to regulations. Just now, it was just two or three guests who were drunk and louder. Why bother you to come to the door and close the store in person? As soon as I heard it, I knew that she was the old bustard in the incense hall.
The official, who was only thirty years old, was a little bookish, and glanced at the old bustard with disgust and said, "Who has time to come to your brothel." Tell you, the Holy One is dead! According to the order, all the teahouses and restaurants in the capital are closed, and those who set up stalls are also among them, and your Qinglou is of course no exception! ”
Qiu Yizhi heard the word "death" from a distance, and there was a "buzz" in his mind for a while, so he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, walked to the official, and said: "May I ask this official, I just vaguely heard the word 'death' in the lower ear, is it behind the back of the ear?" ”
The official saw that Qiu Yi's face was clear, and his speech was in accordance with the rules, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and asked, "Who are you?" What do you do to inquire about this? ”
Qiu Yizhi said again: "I am not talented, but I am the interpreter of the tribute envoys of the Bohai State. This is not presumptuous, but the envoy of the Bohai State sent me to ask. With that, he pointed his gaze in the direction of Yiran and Yelu.
The official followed Qiu Yizhi's gaze, and when he saw two people who looked like Hu people standing there, he didn't doubt it, and said in a very solemn tone: "Tell them that Emperor Daxing has died, and the temple name is Mu Zong, and the name is Emperor Gong, and a few envoys are invited to pay attention." ”
Qiu Yizhi listened, thinking about the next step, and asked: "I don't know which prince will inherit the unification?" ”
"It is the second son of the first emperor who succeeded to the throne."
When Qiu Yizhi heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with stars, and he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, the official hurriedly lifted Qiu Yizhi up from the ground with his own hands, and exclaimed: "Although this prince works for the Hu people, after all, he is a member of my Han people, and he really has a loyal and loving heart for Emperor Daxing." When the official heard the bad news, he was also embarrassed. However, you and I both have heavy responsibilities on our bodies, and it is better to mourn and do things. ”
How did he know that Qiu Yizhi had no feelings for the dead emperor, and only felt sorry and desperate for the method that his father-in-law racked his brains to come up with, and the strategy he implemented by going deep into the tiger's den.
Qiu Yizhi sighed and thought: The father-in-law put all the treasures on the emperor's eldest son Zheng Chang, but now it is his opponent's second son Zheng Yao who has ascended the throne, and the political situation in the court will be turbulent in the future. And Qiu Yizhi himself is just a plank on the big ship of Youyan Palace, if the ship sinks, he has absolutely no reason to live alone.
Thinking of this, a layer of sweat was already oozing from Qiu Yizhi's brain, but he couldn't say it to the official in front of him, so he only said, "This adult smiled." But there is something that needs to be inquired, does this loyal and obedient king of the Bohai Kingdom need to go to Beijing for funeral? It is also good to negotiate with those Bohai envoys. ”
The official glanced at Qiu Yizhi, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you ask others, you may not know yet. He is a director of the Ministry of Rites. After the death of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, it is a common practice for foreign vassals to send envoys to Beijing for funeral, and it is also convenient for your tribute envoys to fall in Beijing, as long as you submit a funeral and condolence note. As for the king of Zhongshun himself, he may not come to Beijing. If you come here in person to show your loyalty and filial piety, we should also fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”
Qiu Yizhi pretended to listen very attentively, and asked coldly: "Will the prince of Youyan also enter Beijing?" ”
"Of course." The official replied casually, and asked very vigilantly, "What are you asking for?" ”
Qiu Yizhi replied in a panic: "This ...... Bohai Kingdom has always been friendly with Youyan Wangfu, if Youyan Prince also comes to Beijing, when there are some etiquette problems, it is better to ask his old man for advice! ”
When the official heard his explanation, it was reasonable, and he said, "This official has heard of it. However, the capital is not as good as Guangyang, and it is not peaceful at the moment, so you Bohai Kingdom still don't disturb the prince of Youyan. As he spoke, he took out a name card from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Yizhi, "This is the name card of this official, if you have any questions about etiquette, you can come to the Ministry of Etiquette to find me." ”
Qiu Yizhi took it, and saw that the post said "Ye Qinghan, Director of the Department of Ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites", so he thanked him.
Ye Qinghan explained a few words to Qiu Yizhi, and repeatedly instructed the old bustard of the incense hall to close the door immediately, otherwise he would be punished for the crime of great disrespect, and then turned around and left here and went to the next house to announce the decree.
The guests in the incense hall had already heard Ye Qinghan's words clearly, although they were reluctant, but none of them wanted to go to the prison of the criminal department for a year and a half, they settled the accounts one after another, and said goodbye to the prostitutes they knew each other and left here.
In less than a cup of tea, the incense shop in the city had already gone to the "sparse car and horse in front of the door", leaving only the old bustard sitting on the stairs and looking at the prostitute Guigong who was at a loss for what to do.
