Three days later, Wang Qing, the guerrilla general of the Langya Palace, arrived at the camp five miles outside the city of Jianye with the escort of the Langya King.

Sima Jingwen and Gu Rong went out of the city to join Wang Qing, and Murong Jia and Mu Yixue took Qinghu and Zhou Rong to play in Jianye City by themselves.

Sima Jingwen changed into a crown uniform, Gu Rong put on a court uniform and entered the city with an escort, and Wang Qing had already sent someone to Yangzhou in advance to assassinate the history of the palace.

After receiving the transmission, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Li took the officials of the Thorn History Mansion to pay respects in front of the city gate.

Seeing the arrival of King Langya, Shi Li greeted him: "Yangzhou Thorn Shi Shi Li, meet King Langya." ”

Officials: "Welcome to King Langya"

"Excuse me"

After a period of politeness, King Langya and everyone entered the city.

Sima Jingwen and Gu Rong were led by Shi Li to the Assassin's Mansion Mansion.

After Sima Jingwen took the seat, Shi Li introduced the relevant officials and King Langya one by one, and Sima Jingwen was polite with everyone.

Then Sima Jingwen changed his grim expression, and said to everyone very politely: "This king has been ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Huaiyin's loss of grain. ”

"This Yangzhou is the place supervised by King Langya, and the lower officials should cooperate with King Langya to manage the affairs of Yangzhou. If you don't want to make such a big case, it is also a dereliction of responsibility. Now the imperial court sent King Langya to Yangzhou in person to assist King Langya in investigating the case, which is the responsibility of the lower officials. Shi Li showed sincerity.

"Lord Shi doesn't have to blame himself first, although the transfer and escort are Yangzhou official warehouses, but this Huaiyin loss of grain is under the jurisdiction of Guangling County and Xuzhou, and Lord Shi still needs to report it truthfully."

"King Xie Langya is compassionate, so let the assassin Shi Bei drive the high-ranking guest to report to King Langya."

So Sima Jingwen listened to Gao Bin's recital in detail.......

After listening to this, Sima Jingwen didn't say anything, he took the file and skimmed it roughly: "I and Master Gu are non-stop, I am really a little tired, this case is not at this time, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"King Langya has worked hard all the way, King Langya still needs to have a good rest today, Shi Li will set up a banquet for King Langya tomorrow."

After Shi Li finished speaking, Sima Jingwen ordered everyone to disperse.

In the evening, King Langya, Gu Rong and his entourage were arranged to rest in the Assassin's Mansion.

Here, Gu Rong and King Langya analyzed Shi Li and Bei Gaobin's recital.

And over there, Shi Li and Gao Bin were also discussing how to deal with Sima Jingwen.

Gao Bin said to Shi Li: "My lord, if King Langya investigates any clues this time, it will be unfavorable to Jingzhong, and he still needs to find a way to stop it." ”

Shi Li was disdainful: "King Langya? Hum! Although he is General Anton, he has never been to Yangzhou to supervise, a person who has just entered Jiangnan, what can he investigate? ”

"My lord, although the king of Langya has stepped into the south of the Yangtze River for the first time since inheriting the throne, the old Langya King Sima Ling is quite prestigious in the south of the Yangtze River. After the war, because of the merit of General Anton, he supervised the land of Yangzhou and Xuzhou. "Obviously, Gao Bin is much more cautious than Shi Li.

"But this official heard that since this Sima Jingwen took the throne, he has been an idle prince in the idle capital, and in addition to the hereditary title, he has not made much achievements." Shi Li still disagreed.

"This time with King Langya is also Murong Jia, the prince of the Xianbei Murong Tribe. Gu Rong, the military secretary of Andong who accompanied him, was originally a native of Wu County, Wu County (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), and was very familiar with the geographical customs of Jiangzuo. He was born in the Gu family of Wu County, and was the grandson of Gu Yong, the prime minister of Wu Cheng. After the demise of Sun Wu, he was invited by Emperor Xianwu to go to Luoyang with Lu Ji and Lu Yun, known as the "Three Masters of Luoyang". This Gu Rong is resourceful, adults must not take it lightly. Gobin continued.

"According to what you say, you still can't underestimate King Langya."

"We're going to have a good treat and get to the bottom of them!"

"In this case, at the reception banquet of King Langya, we invited all the high-ranking families in the city to come, and invited some famous Ya Ya, I want to see if this King Langya really has the intention of being an inspector, or just a mediocre person who just wants to have fun and go through the motions." Shi Li twitched the deep mouth and nose lines at the corners of his mouth and smiled wryly.

"My lord, this banquet can't be organized by the Thorn Shi Mansion, and Yu Gong is not in line with the etiquette, so I invite the Xie family, who is known as the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, to hold it, and invite the talents of the family in this city, so that Sima Jingwen can feel that the adult is sincere to him. In addition, the Jiangnan family recognizes itself as Qingliu, and the old Langya King has leveled the Eastern Wu, although it is quite prestigious, but the Jiangnan family also has a lot of grievances, and we must also let the Langya King understand that the southern scholars are not easy to befriend. Gobin suggested.

"Well, that's good. You ask Xie Cheng to invite that Lu Liu, Lu Liu and Gu Rong are out of Wu County together, and Lu Ji and Lu Yun are brothers of the same clan, but they regard themselves as worried about the people in the world, and they are too high, and they have always looked down on the northerners, so let this stinky stone that is hard and hard to eat disgust and disgust King Langya, and see how he deals with it. Shi Li said, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly upward, and his eyes showed a cold and contemptuous look.

Two days later, Wuyi Lane Xie family Gaomen mansion, BMW incense car, painting eaves like clouds, lights like rain, crown cover gathered, compared with Kyoto Luoyang Gate Valve Clan, this Jiangnan family is more Tsinghua and noble, the same Ambilight but full of gold powder.

Sima Jingwen, the king of Langya, brought Gu Rong and Murong Jia to come with Shi Li and Gao Binru as invited.

The owner, Xie Cheng, wearing a cage hat and black clothes, was already greeted by his relatives and children from various families in Jiangnan in front of the mansion.

Shi Li introduced Xie Cheng, the master of the Xie family, to Sima Jingwen, and everyone followed the master into the inner garden, typical Jiangnan style, pavilion, platform, building, pavilion, spring, stone, flower, wood combined together, white wooden empty bucket wall, beam frame carved exquisitely, painted chestnut, brown, gray and other colors, almost no color painting.

The wall is planted with bamboo, which contrasts with the white wall and gray tiles, and the color is elegant and clear.

Sima Jingwen took a seat, Murong Jia and Gu Rong on the left, and Xie Cheng and Shi Shili on the right, and everyone sat down in turn......

Everyone first toasted to Sima Jingwen, the king of Langya, and then Sima Jingwen returned the salute to the host Xie Cheng and everyone.

After a tour of wine, Sima Jingwen said politely: "The Xie clan has always had a good reputation, Xie Hengzhi is too learned, and Beijing is extremely prestigious. Today is Sima Jingwen harassing the host, it is a family banquet, and everyone is invited not to be formal. ”

Gu Rong also explained: "King Langya is easy-going, and Prince Murong is even more unrestrained, everyone is casual. ”

So the song and dance, pipa music, Wu Nong's soft tune, and the guests drank happily.

After a few rounds of drinking, Sima Jingwen noticed that this Jiangnan Shi clan was different from the gate valve in the capital, they were elegant and elegant, although they were happy and drunk, they were not flattering to him, and they were not debauchery after drinking.

At the same time, Sima Jingwen noticed that there was a person who had not shown a happy face from the beginning, and he was extremely high, so he asked Gu Rong if he knew this person?

Gu Rong saw that Sima Jingwen was paying attention to Lu Liu, stood up and walked in front of Lu Liu, raised his wine glass, and saluted Lu Liu: "I haven't seen Wu Zhong and my brother in Beijing for six years, and Brother Shiyao is fine." ”

Lu Liu's brows frowned slightly, his face was disdainful, and he replied coldly: "Brother Gu, don't come to harm." ”

Gu Rong didn't care, and then introduced to Sima Jingwen in a loud voice: "Lord Wang, this is Lu Ji's younger brother Lu Liu, alias Shi Yao. Brother Shi Yao is good at Han ink, his pen is thin and hard, he has Zhong Xuan's method, he is well-read, knowledgeable, and noble, and he is quite prestigious among the talents in Jiangnan. ”

Gu Rong saw that he still had a noble and cynical expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Shi Yao doesn't ask about the world, presumably his knowledge has improved in recent years, and he will have to ask for advice if he has the opportunity." ”

Who knew that Lu Liu still didn't appreciate it: "Brother Gu Rong has a good reputation." I am not talented, and I can't share the worries of the world. ”

Then he said loudly to King Langya: "Now that the Di people are in rebellion, Beijun is in danger, there is a disaster in the pass, and the people are scattered. ”

Although everyone knew Lu Liu's temperament, everyone present was still shocked by his words and deeds, and couldn't help but sweat.

Xie Cheng, the owner of "Lu .......", accompanied by a smiling face, just wanted to make a round.

But he saw Shi Li deliberately reprimanding Lu Liudao: "Bold Lu Liu, so arrogant, full of nonsense." ”

At this time, Gao Bin's eyes showed a sly look of watching the excitement.

Sima Jingwen raised his hand to stop Shi Li, smiling, his eyes were bright but soft.

Lang Sheng said: "It is a blessing to treat the people as if they were injured; It is also a curse to regard the people as mustards; Feast on poison, do not conceive; Passing without dying, the foundation of death is also; Diligence and thrift, loyalty, and virtue. Therefore, what Lu Liu said is not a lie, this is the heart of the world! ”

The master Xie Cheng saw that King Langya was so benevolent, and hurriedly said: "Brother Lu Liu is known for his high righteousness, a piece of sincerity, although he is not in the temple, but he is worried about the country and the world. ”

Seeing that King Langya stood up from his seat, walked in front of Lu Liu, and arched his hand: "What Mr. Shi Yao said today, be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared for thinking, be elegant and have rules, he is actually a man who governs the country, Jingwen admires!" ”

Sima Jingwen turned to the master Xie Cheng and said: "Mr. Xie has a good reputation, is proficient in rhythm, works in calligraphy, and has outstanding intelligence. ”

Xie Cheng hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "King Langya has a good reputation, and he is ashamed to be ashamed, he can't enjoy the wine today, please forgive me!" ”

Sima Jingwen bowed his hand to everyone and said: "This king has just arrived in Jiangnan, and today I am fortunate to meet all the talents of the family, which is really the favor of God." Just because the emperor's order is in his body, it is inconvenient to be outdated, please forgive me, please continue, don't let down the hospitality of the master of the Xie family. ”

After speaking, Sima Jingwen got up and walked out.

When everyone saw King Langya like this, they all praised him for his humility and benevolence, and some people whispered complaints about Lu Liu.

At this time, Lu Liu was also secretly taken aback, and felt that he was too reckless, so he bowed deeply to King Langya, and apologized: "Lu Liu is abrupt, not a gentleman's bearing, King Langya is elegant, Lu Liu is rude, he will repay the peach one day!" ”

When everyone saw that King Langya was not only annoyed, but also so polite and virtuous, they all bowed down and bowed to King Langya to say goodbye to King Langya: "Congratulations to King Langya!" ”

So King Langya and others left Wuyi Lane in the midst of everyone's congratulations.......
