Chapter 417: Incorruptible Style
From the beginning, although no one in Kaifeng Mansion pointed it out, and even the emperor did not say it clearly, since he suspected that Xiangzhou Assassin Shi had robbed military salaries, he couldn't get around King Xiangyang, who was the vassal king.
This is an extremely sensitive and dangerous issue, and without tangible evidence, no one can arbitrarily deduct a hat from a prince with real power.
"I haven't heard anything, let's eat."
Fang Ruohua smiled and ate seven or eight points full, and persuaded by the way, "Lord Bao also eat more, don't expect the reception banquet in Xiangyang Palace, don't talk about the reception banquet, even his old man's birthday banquet can't be satisfied." ”
Bao Zheng smiled and pointed at Fang Ruohua: "The county lord is really narrow. ”
Everyone in the world knows that the king of Xiangyang is a simple person, the diet and daily life are very economical, that is, the banquet guests are mostly a few dishes, never eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas, the so-called good on the top, the next must be very good, the subordinate officials of the Xiangyang palace are more than a new three years of official uniforms, three years of old three years, and the lord of sewing and mending for another three years.
It's even more incorruptible than Lord Kaifeng Fubao.
In fact, Bao Zheng is honest, but relatively speaking, the Great Song Dynasty treats officials very well, and the officials have a lot of money, at least the kitchen of Kaifeng Mansion has no big problem cooking meat at three ends in three days.
Needless to say, there is no need to say how the reception banquet is, anyway, fortunately, everyone has already filled their stomachs, but the so-called banquet is just like that, no one expects it to be a serious meal, the main thing is just to socialize.
It will not be long before the birthday feast is in full swing.
Even Bao Zheng's rank may not be as good as some of the feudal officials who came to the banquet, as well as the nobles of the court, but as an angel, he represents His Majesty, and his identity is different, so he naturally sits in the most advanced position.
Although Fang Ruohua is a woman, she is dressed in armor, and the forces behind her are all military generals, so she also did not go to the seat of the female dependent, and sat next to Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng looked at it and said in a low voice: "Mr. Hu Su is not here?" ”
"Xiangyang Wang's birthday banquet, you must not let him in, in case you meet a few bastards who are not taboo in meat and vegetables, it will be bad to make trouble again."
Fang Ruohua smiled casually.
Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and Zhanzhao suddenly cried and laughed, but they couldn't help but admit that in fact, the county lord was worried about a little reason.
Mr. Hu Su's immortal appearance is rare in the world, and almost no one can match it.
After saying a few jokes, Fang Ruohua got closer to Bao Zheng and drank tea slowly.
Before the hour came, there were a few distinguished guests, such as the Duke Qi of Chaozhong Town, who had to be greeted by the King of Xiangyang in person to look decent, and also to appear to be a corporal of courtesy. So at this time, the king of Xiangyang was not in the hall.
After a while, Fang Ruohua looked around and laughed in a low voice: "How is it, Lord Bao, do you want to go back and change your clothes?" ”
Bao Zheng coughed: "Ruohua! ”
Fang Ruohua compared his fingers to his lips.
At present, most of the guests who arrived first are dressed in tatters, not to mention beggars, but some are even patched, and some don't want to be too obvious, but they also wear more old clothes, and the herd mentality is just that.
Anyway, compared with these people, the clothes on Bao Zheng's body look magnificent, and he really lacks a bit of honesty and integrity.
Fang Ruohua pointed to a middle-aged man who was walking around and was very active: "That's Zhang Yuan, the assassin of Xiangzhou." ”
Bao Zheng nodded.
When they were in Chenzhou, they had to pay attention to the history of the Xiangzhou assassination, but Zhang Yuan's official reputation was not bad, and his reputation among the local people was okay, and he was not harsh on the people.
And he is not greedy, and has a reputation for integrity.
At this time, Zhang Yuan said to the people around him with a handful of snot and tears: "The prince is really too hard, he sleeps all night to deal with government affairs, and he can't even be idle for his birthday...... Hey, I don't pay attention to my diet, look, the prince celebrates his birthday, and the drinks he drinks are all self-brewed ordinary rice wine, and I heard that I can't buy cheap fish in the kitchen, so I have to catch the ...... from the princess's pool."
Officials from the left and near responded one after another.
This sentient beings are in a variety of ways, in fact, it is quite interesting, Fang Ruohua is a little pity, this time it belongs to the exam, parents can't come, the live broadcast can't be opened, if it can be seen by a group of water friends, maybe countless jokers will pop up, and a few popular jokes will be written.
After a short time, Zhao Ziqian, the eldest son of Ningjun Wang, and Zhao Zixi, the third son, arrived, and came to say hello to the officials who were familiar with each other, looked up to see Bao Zheng, and hurriedly came over to greet them.
King Ningjun's tutor is not bad, these two sons are considered to be well-behaved, and Bao Zheng liked them very much in the past, but now that Fang Ruohua is here, he feels a little embarrassed, his face is not obvious, and he introduced with a smile: "Ziqian is here, come, I have seen the county lord of Changping." ”
Zhao Ziqian: "......"
looked back at Zhao Zixi, and Jiang Ruoyu, who had been following Zhao Zixi with her head down, dressed as a man, and the two of them were also like thunderbolts.
Having a younger brother bear is really the most unlucky thing in the world, and my father was planning to go to the northwest in person to solve the matter, but he met before he made the trip, which is really ......
Fang Ruohua didn't show any difference, and praised two sentences gently and politely: "The two sons are both dragons and phoenixes, and the king of Ningjun is blessed." ”
This tone, this expression, clearly put himself in the same position as King Ningjun, and looked at the two of them like juniors.
Zhao Zixi thinks he is open-minded, and he can't help but feel a wall in his heart, but he smiles bitterly, can he not make enemies, he is already the county lord of the family is open-minded, do you still want to have a bad relationship? Just like strangers is the best outcome.
At this time, Zhao Ziqian was determined not to sit next to Lord Bao, and said a few polite words, so he went around to talk to Zhang Yuan and several officials in Xiangzhou.
Jiang Ruoyu didn't look at Fang Ruohua either, tried to make himself look calm, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zixi, I have long heard that the King of Xiangyang is honest and serves as an example for the clan, but he didn't expect to be so unpretentious, and he is not extravagant or wasteful in his life. ”
Zhao Zixi also said: "I see that the people of Xiangyang City live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are excellent, all of which are the work of the king of Xiangyang, and Zixi can't help but be ashamed, the life in the past is really too wasteful......"
"An Le Hou has arrived!"
The commotion was silent, and many people turned their heads to look, but they were dumbfounded.
Pang Yu shook into the door boredly, on the left was a beautiful maid, with a pink skirt and delicate flowers, snuggled up to him, with a shy face, and on the right was a pretty maid dressed in men's clothes, with a beautiful complexion, looking at him affectionately.
The hall of the Xiangyang King's banquet is ordinary, the dishes are ordinary, and the people who play and play to help the fun are all mediocre in appearance and good skills, in short, there is no extravagance.
The guests didn't say that they were disgraced, but they were all very low-key, but as soon as Pang Yu came in, it made the whole hall a little more beautiful.
