Shen Mu refused to participate in this kind of banquet in his heart.

After all, the participants are either kings or marquises, and they really don't want to climb this high branch.

The powerful are good at climbing and climbing to the sky step by step, and the jade is burned if they are not good at climbing. It's like the four big families in the Red Mansion, one is prosperous, the other is lost, and the big tree is down and the roots are out. Unless you climb it step by step with your strength, you are the big tree, otherwise everything is nothing......

But staying like this, it's even more boring, I want to ascend to the sky, and it's good for those princes and nobles to get to know each other.

Pan Guangyao, the king of the East China Sea, set up the banquet in the military tent outside the palace, after all, the palace is the palace of the saint, as a courtier, he received the grace of the saint, and it is okay to live in it, and it is taboo to eat and drink in the palace, and make a lot of noise......

Always be clear who is the master!

When Murong Huan and the others arrived, there were already six people sitting at the wine table in the military tent.

Pan Guangyao is a fat man with a round body, with a beard, his eyes are slightly squeezed between the thick eyebrows, and when he saw Murong Huan entering the tent, he greeted again and again: "Murong ...... Come on...... Sitting here, you have already been given a place. "He is the same age as Murong Huan, and he is also a prince, so it is not inappropriate to call Murong Huan his surname!

When everyone settled, Pan Guangyao glanced at Shen Mu and asked, "Murong, who is this kid?

Murong Huan said: "This is Shen Mu, the army of my palace!"

Shen Mu bowed to this: "The last general has seen the prince!"

Pan Guangyao laughed: "Okay...... Good...... Joining the army at such a young age, a young man can do it!"

Shen Mu saw that he spoke heartily and was quite cordial: "The last general thanked the prince for his love!"

When Pan Guangyao's words fell, the thin middle-aged man sitting beside him whispered a few words in his ear.

Pan Guangyao listened and slapped the table: "Ouch...... I said you are an old man of Murong...... With me, I still hide it...... What a soldier! Hah! How did I hear he was a baby......

Murong Huan smiled and said, "Old Pan, what baby? Why don't I know?"

Pan Guangyao pointed at Murong Huan, pretending to be unhappy, and said, "Look, it's actually singing to me...... This Shen Mu is the one who offered a plan to retire from Nansang!"

Murong Huan said: "But that's the case...... But he's also in the army in my palace, is that wrong?"

After speaking, the two old princes looked at each other for a long time and laughed.

Pan Guangyao said: "What kind of blessing do you say you are cultivating, there is an unpredictable old gentleman in the front, and there is a wise and brave little Shen Mu in the back." Ha ha...... Brother Murong, you can talk to me today, how can you find so many great sages!"

While the two were talking and laughing, the maid had already put together the wine and food.

Pan Guangyao picked up his wine glass and said, "Come, let's not get drunk tonight......

The words were staggered, and between the words, Shen Mu had already recognized the other five people present.

These five people are Wei Lang, the general of the East China Sea Palace, Ouyang De, the former military governor, Shao Quan, the deputy commander of the East China Sea Left Guard Battalion, Gu Zhaoting, the chief secretary of the palace, and Pan Guangyao's only son, Pan Ruibo.

Halfway through the wine, Pan Guangyao said, "Brother, tell me...... Which sage is this singing......"

Murong Huan was slightly stunned: "Guangyao, are you ......drunk?"

Pan Guangyao said: "Hey, what are you afraid of...... These are all the king's cronies, so they won't get in the way!"

Murong Huan swept around: "The saint has the idea of a saint, we just need to do things according to the will!"

Pan Guangyao waved his hand: "Don't come to this set, I mean that the saint suddenly changed the ancestral system, and the autumn wai was changed to the summer wai, which ...... Will there be other arrangements? Don't hide it from my brother, I thought about it before I came, the saint is afraid that he will give a few more princes exam questions......"

Murong Huan coughed dryly and interrupted, "Ahem...... This is a saint's business, let's not think about it!"

Pan Guangyao said: "Hey, let's just drink and talk...... I can't say this, I can't say that, and I'm talking about a fart......"

Murong Huan said: "This is really not what we should say......

Pan Guangyao sandwiched a slice of beef and chewed it slowly: "You, you are still so cautious, not to mention anything else, it has been almost 20 years since the "Shenwumen Change", and there has been no prince in the court. Look at the little princes who were still in a mess back then, they are all middle-aged, and the saints ...... Four out of seventy saints, right...... I'm afraid ......"

Murong Huan snorted: "Guangyao, talk too much......"

Pan Guangyao said: "Brother...... I'm going to give you a heartfelt speech, look at you...... I'm not mistaken, did the fifth prince call you uncle? How about it? Do you want your brother to drag you along?"

Murong Huan chuckled in his heart, he knew this Pan Guangyao's character, and he had always been open-mouthed. If this kind of character rests on an ordinary person, I don't know how many times I have died.

Murong Huan reminded: "In royal affairs, the saint has his own decision. Guangyao, let's only drink today, not talk about business. ”

Pan Guangyao said: "Okay, I said so, just forget if your brother doesn't appreciate it...... Come. Let's have a drink!"

Shen Mu listened to the words of the two, and was very strange in his heart, it was a miracle that this Pan Guangyao could stay on the throne for so long!

However, this kind of person with a hearty personality just suits his appetite! For a person like Murong Huan, who has a city government, Shen Mu is actually more in awe than admiration!

In fact, Shen Mu could understand that the reason why Murong Huan let himself participate in this hunt was not pure. Otherwise, he is clothed, how can He De be on par with so many people!

Murong Huan was stunned for a moment, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he diverted the topic: "I heard that the rules have been changed this hunt, and the Ministry of Rites spread the word the day before yesterday that the princes of our four towns are divided into one team, and the six battalions are also divided into one team, and it seems that the princes will also participate......"

Pan Guangyao said: "Isn't this the place where there are no three hundred taels of silver, there are just ten teams in the four towns and six battalions on weekdays, and now they are divided into three teams...... Look, there's a show on campus tomorrow......"

Murong Huan said: "Guangyao is reasonable, it seems that this time it is really a matter of studying the strength of the princes......"

"That's why I told my brother if I want us to drag the fifth prince...... I can tell you, those two guys in the northwest are not as shy as you, like a. They stood up early in the morning......"

Murong Huan's face changed slightly: "What do we have to do with this, let's be our own prince and manage our own territory...... Just don't worry about food and clothing!"

Pan Guangyao said: "Ha...... You dead old man, I haven't seen you dig out your heart once. You say I'm a ghost to you...... Confused, confused!" As he spoke, he raised his glass: "Come on...... Cheers!

I don't know how long it took, a person outside the tent came into the tent to report: "Lord Wang, the master of ceremonies, Grandpa Zhuang came to visit!"

Pan Guangyao and Murong Huan put down the wine chopsticks in their hands at the same time. Why did Grandpa Zhuang come so late?

Pan Guangyao said: "Hurry up, please." ”

The tent door opened, and Grandpa Zhuang held a handle of floating dust in his hand and led two little eunuchs in, and the two little eunuchs drank two wine jugs, which were shining with gold and were made of pure gold.

Everyone left the table to greet each other, and Pan Guangyao said: "Grandpa Zhuang, it's so late, why do you want to come?"

Gonggong Zhuang smiled and said, "Lord Pan, our family is here to send royal gifts for the saint!"

As soon as Pan Guangyao and the others heard the "imperial product", they immediately dressed themselves and bowed down: "The ministers welcome the saint!"

Zhuang Gonggong said fairly: "Spread the message: I am quite tired today, and I can't meet with the kings, so I hereby make wine to show my heart to drink with all the kings!" Zhuang Gonggong said here, clearing his throat: "Prince Murong is the best here, this message has been brought by our family, and the wine will stay here......"

Pan Guangyao and others thanked him again and again. Together with Murong Huan, he raised his hands high above his head and took the imperial wine from Grandpa Zhuang's hands!

Zhuang Gong said fairly: "Our family still needs to go to the West King and the North King." The two princes ...... Slow down!"

Sending Grandpa Zhuang away, Pan Guangyao secretly broke out in a cold sweat: "Brother, you said that the saint is ......"

Murong Huan said: "Guess right, the sage is just to see if we have a private party......

Pan Guangyao said: "Drinking together to catch up with the old days, it can't be regarded as a party for personal gain...... said here, and wiped the top of his forehead again!

Murong Huan laughed and said: "Guangyao, let's not guess anything, don't ask anything, don't fight for anything......! This wine of the saints...... You still have to drink it!"

Pan Guangyao thought about it, too, what does it mean to be a saint, it is absolutely impossible to drink this wine without drinking it to the fullest. Immediately, he raised his glass again to invite the bright moon, and the sky was dark when he drank.

On the way back, Murong Huan asked, "Shen Mu, you haven't spoken tonight, what can you see?"

Shen Mu was coldly asked by Murong Huan like this, first stunned, and then said honestly: "The grass people are very ashamed, they don't know anything about the affairs of the imperial court, and they really can't see anything. I think what Prince Pan said is very reasonable...... It also confirms your thoughts, Lord Wang. According to the grass people, the later we go back, the better......"

Murong Huan said, "Oh...... What do you mean by that?"

Shen Mu said with a smile: "Coming out of the military tent of Prince Pan, the prince has been going around and around, and the pace is very slow, if you say that you are going to get drunk, this is not like it." The only explanation is that the prince doesn't want to return to the palace so soon...... I'm afraid that outside the room at this time, there are already people waiting for ......"

Murong Huan exclaimed: "Mr. Shen really lives up to his reputation! That's right, this official, after I reach this position, you will know how many worries you have...... Let's go, let's go to the side and sober up!"

Shen Mu was silent and followed behind Murong Huan.

The bigger the official, the greater the danger, one wrong step, it is just a matter of losing one's own name, and it may involve thousands of heads up and down!

Shen Mu broke the silence: "Lord Wang, what is the position of Grandpa Zhuang." "Compared with thinking about political intrigue, Shen Mu is more worried about the matter of knowing the tea bureau.

Murong Huan suddenly said, "Ouch, look at this king...... I forgot to introduce you. That Gonggong Zhuang is the deputy governor of the celebrant eunuch, and he holds the seal of Gonggong Zhuang Sun Ming! If there is an opportunity tomorrow, this king will be recommended by you. Knowing about the tea bureau, as long as he agrees, others won't say anything!"

Shen Mu knew that he could preach the sage's oracle. Naturally, it won't be comparable to ordinary little eunuchs!
