Chapter Seventy-Four: The Imperial Banquet
"Be careful!" Prime Minister Luo walked to Luo Ning's side and said viciously.
"Humph!" Luo Ning snorted lightly, he didn't put the threat of Prime Minister Luo in his eyes at all, a prime minister, it's just that the biological father of this body can't kill him with his own hands, if it were someone else, Luo Ning would have already swung his sword at him, the thousands of slaughters on the battlefield made Luo Ning's heart no longer have mercy, human life is worthy of respect, but human life is only worthy of your own respect, others may have pity for your life, but they will never respect your life.
Therefore, Luo Ning will definitely not care about Prime Minister Luo's threat, Luo Ning will not kill you when he really wants to fight hard, but there is still a way to make Luo Heng not have any ability to act.
Surrounded by civil and military officials, Luo Ning came to the Qionglin banquet for the first time, Luo Ning suddenly thought of the lyrics in the female concubine, she is now only a female concubine, and suddenly Luo Ning shuddered, should the emperor want to promise the princess to himself, right? Luo Ning's mind turned.
"Come, come, come, Luo Jian Jun, please sit in this position!" Sure enough, as soon as the chamberlain saw Luo Ning, he invited Luo Ning to sit at the front of the second row, the person in the first row should be an old general, with a white beard, but his eyes are bright, and his armor is shiny and his bones are well-proportioned.
"I've seen the old general!" Luo Ning first bowed his hand to the old general, Luo Ning could see at a glance that this old general must be a person who has been fighting for a long time, although he is old, but if there are no people to protect his family and defend the country, how can others enjoy a happy world, for such a hero Luo Ning respects from the heart.
"Hehe, General Luo is exempt." The old general laughed and happily brushed his gray beard with his hand.
"Luo Jian Jun is young and promising, he is really a hero!" The old general looked at Luo Ning is more and more happy, who said that the person who led the troops must have a big waist and a round waist, look at the appearance of Luo Jianjun, if there is no such dress, it is a young scholar.
"The old general complimented me." Luo Ning's posture was very low, and for such a veteran, Luo Ning also respected the other party from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, okay, Luo Jian Jun, please sit down, our martial artists don't have the sour and rotten atmosphere of literati." The old general glanced at the civil officials on the opposite side with his eyes, and the people among the civil officials were still pushing each other there, and even Prime Minister Luo and the crown prince had entered the concession.
"Yes!" Luo Ning smiled suddenly, arched his hand at his colleagues, and then sat next to the old general, and chatted casually with the old general.
The emperor sat on the main seat with a smile and chatted with the civil officials for a while, and said a few words with the generals for a while, and the atmosphere was also extraordinarily harmonious.
"Luo Jianjun, how old are you this year?" The emperor suddenly said such a sentence at Luo Ning.
"The minister is less than twenty this year!" Luo Ning was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what the emperor meant by this, so he had to answer in general terms.
"Hehehe, Luo Jianjun doesn't have a wife room yet, right?" The emperor asked again.
Luo Ning frowned secretly in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to stand up and reply respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister has long been interested in the person, and he will never leave this life and this life, life and death." Luo Ning said slowly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the emperor's eyes, which were full of warnings, did your emperor feel that his body was already well? You don't need me, do you?
"Hehe, I see, that's it!" The emperor's heart is a little empty, could it be that this little girl has discovered her conspiracy?
"Hooray, the food and drinks are ready!" The chief attendant respectfully bowed to the side.
"Pass the meal!" The emperor was overjoyed and hurriedly said, this servant still has a good eye, just now he solved a big siege for himself, and he must reward him well when he has time.
Singing and dancing, elixir royal feast. The beautiful dance brought the climax of the feast to its highest.
There are already seventeen or eighteen people who have come to persuade him to drink in this meeting, three cups per person, and Luo Ning has almost drunk more than forty cups of kung fu in this meeting, but he can't refuse, after all, it is time to drink and feast.
"The little general is really massive!" The old general stretched out his thumb and kept admiring, just now he was going to wait for a meeting to find a way to help Luo Ning relieve the siege, this group of Wenchen who came to toast did not have any good intentions, and they all served the tribute wine of the Western Regions for three days, and it is said that this wine is drunk after three glasses. The military general's physique has always been strong, and this kind of wine is only eight cups of ten glasses, but Luo Ning drank thirty or forty glasses just now, and he didn't even mean to get drunk, if he had to see that Luo Ning had drunk, he could only say that the empty wine jar in this place could prove it, and the other was.
"The old general praised it, and it was just a trick to get down." Luo Ning's face turned red all of a sudden, and his hand was gently erected to show the old general, sure enough, the old general's eyes were attracted by Luo Ning's right hand, and seeing Luo Ning's hand drooping naturally, sure enough, after a while, the little fingers of the right hand slowly dripped out water droplets, but the water droplets were blocked by Luo Ning's robe, and it was not easy for others to find out, and sure enough, the wine bottles next to Luo Ning were actually very reasonable, Luo Ning gently kicked a full bottle with his foot, The bottle was kicked away from itself and ran into a corner to crouch.
"Hahaha, sure enough, sure enough!" The old general is even happier to watch now, every time the royal banquet for the general is often turned into a time when the civilian officials make fun of the military attaché, but long live the banquet, and I can't help but go, and now I see that Luo Ningbing has put down several civilian officials without blood, and the old general is really the boss, and he is extremely excited.
"Don't you think the general is cheating?" Luo Ning said with a smile.
"Alas, those civil officials are very hateful, and besides, what methods cannot be used on the battlefield, how can this be considered cheating?" The old general laughed.
After Luo Ning heard this, his heart suddenly moved, what method can't be used on the battlefield, why not say that this court is a battlefield? It is no wonder that the old general was able to have a place in this court, because he regarded the court as a battlefield, and the intrigue of all the civil and military officials was actually a war, and it was for this reason that the old general was able to stand on the court for a long time.
"Old general, I have been taught!" Luo Ning bowed.
"Hehehe!" The old general nodded with satisfaction, this kid himself felt pleasing to the eye from the first glance, and he was much stronger than his bastard's apprentice. is not reckless or rigid, it is a good example, and in the future, it can be said that there will be successors to this stall.
"General Lin, today is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Luo Jian Army, and the lower official proposes that everyone take this opportunity to chant poems to help the wine and rejuvenate everyone, what do you say?" An emaciated officer walked up to the old general and said with a wine glass.
"Hahaha, Lao Tzu has been illiterate since he was a child, and it is your literati's business to recite poetry, since you have said it, I will listen to it." The old general laughed and said.
"So the old general agreed?" Although the official's face was a little ugly, he quickly hid it and asked with a smile.
"What does my old man agree to disagree with, don't you just like to play that game?" The old general continued to say with a smile.
Luo Ning frowned secretly in his heart, he always felt that this matter seemed to be not so simple, this official should be a third-grade officer as soon as he saw his clothes, although there were many third-grade officials in the capital, but which one of the people who could speak in front of the emperor was not a powerful person, how could this person suddenly speak like this?
"Okay, everyone, the old general has agreed to Zaixia's request, so let's do it, in order to respect the old general, the subordinate suggests that the old general should recite a poem for us, so as to set a precedent?" The official said with a smile as he raised his glass.
"Good!" The emperor took the lead and applauded. "Old general, I only know that you are good at fighting on the battlefield, and I didn't expect that you would be a literati and a writer." The emperor said to General Lin with a smile.
"Hooray!" The old general suddenly realized that he had accidentally fallen into the other party's full suit.
"Hehe, the old general shouldn't regret it, right?" The official's eyes were staring at General Lin tightly, and he wanted to wait for General Lin to say two words, so that he could taunt the other party again.
"Alas!" The old general's face was very ugly.
"I am a kindergarten who has not learned words, and now it is a poem free of title at the Taiping Wine Banquet!" The old general now had no choice but to admit it, stood up and drank three glasses of wine in a row, and hugged his fist slightly at the emperor and civil officials.
"Yo, the old general has already chanted, and you have to ask the old general to finish saying anything, right?" The officer immediately began to heist again.
"Yes, yes, old general, those two sentences are good poems." A civil servant had already picked up a pen and written it, and kept praising it as he spoke.
"Otherwise, let your group of military attachés talk about it together, hahaha!" Someone in the civil service pile laughed arrogantly.
"Doesn't Luo Jianjun know how to read?" The crown prince suddenly said to the side.
"Yes, please ask General Luo to continue!" There was a commotion among the civil servants.
The old general's old eyes looked at the emperor, his face was flushed, and he hoped that the emperor could come forward to stop this farce, but the emperor kept smiling and watching as if he hadn't seen it.
"Enough!" Luo Ning couldn't stand the group of civil officials making fun of the old general, the most annoying thing was the emperor's attitude, he said that he knew that the old general was powerful, and the old general also said that he didn't know a few words, but look at what these civil servants are doing.
"Isn't it just a poem? I did it for the old general. Luo Ning said lightly.
"Everyone be quiet, let's listen to how General Luo composes poems!" Immediately, the civil official waved his hand.
"Yes, I haven't heard a military attache compose a poem!" Immediately someone among the civil servants burst into laughter.
