Chapter Ninety-Three: Dinner Suspicions
The living conditions in Wancheng are much stronger than those in Shuangfeng City, and the variety of wine and food is also very rich, after the dinner begins, all kinds of dishes are served first, followed by wine, and the first-class daughter Hong alone is enough to bring up the five major jars.
In addition to Lin Haotian and his entourage, there were also prime ministers such as Cao Yanqing, Dasikong Xiao Xuan, Taishi Ling Wei Wuji, and Chen Tang, the chief bookkeeper.
Inviting so many people at one time is also deliberately done by Tai Shuhong.
First, he wanted to let Lin Haotian and these ministers get to know each other through tonight's banquet, and wait until another day to get to the court, and at the critical moment, someone would help him speak;
After the banquet began, under the recommendation of Tai Shuhong, all the ministers present showed that they were very close to Lin Haotian, and frequently toasted him, and Lin Haotian also did not refuse to come, and from time to time smiled and chatted with everyone and drank happily. For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet was high and lively.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tai Shuhong took advantage of the wine, looked at Lin Haotian sitting on his right, and asked with a smile: "Nephew Lin Xian, I don't know what age this year is?"
Lin Haotian has traveled here since he was seventeen years old, and he has spent a whole year in the Abyss Continent, and he replied truthfully: "Back to Prime Minister, I just turned eighteen!"
"Haha!" Uncle Tai looked up at Daxiao and praised, "If you are really a young hero!" He continued to ask, "Where does the virtuous nephew's family live, and who else is in the family?"
I didn't expect Tai Shuhong to suddenly ask about this, Lin Haotian was stunned, paused for a moment, and said: "In Taiping County, Wuling County, there is only one missing person left in the family...... Fiancee. ”
In the Abyss Continent, men have to hold a crown ceremony after the age of sixteen, and after the crown ceremony, they officially belong to adults, so it is a very common thing for men to marry at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
"Whereabouts unknown?" Uncle Tai Hongmian looked at Lin Haotian with doubts.
"En!" Lin Haotian nodded and explained: "Many years ago, I was away from home for a while, but unexpectedly, there was a big fire in my home, and when I came back, she was gone. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Tai Hong patted Lin Haotian on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry about the virtuous nephew, I have a lot of family members in the Prime Minister's house, I will send someone to help you find it another day, I don't know what the name of the nephew and daughter-in-law is?"
"Purple Feather Cloak!"
"What?!" Hearing this name, Tai Shuhong's body trembled, and even the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and asked again: "Virtuous nephew, what is the name of the nephew?"
"Purple Feather Clothes!" Lin Haotian also noticed the change in Tai Shuhong, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and said with a puzzled face: "Could it be that the prime minister recognizes her?"
Uncle Tai Hong's mouth suddenly opened wide, he was stunned for a while, and said in surprise: Could it be her? But after he looked at Lin Haotian carefully, and his age was linked, he shook his head again and again.
"Prime Minister?" Looking at Uncle Taihong's funny appearance, Lin Haotian couldn't help frowning.
"Huh?" Uncle Tai's body moved, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality, and then he waved his hand again and again: "Xian... The virtuous nephew laughed, how could I know my nephew and daughter-in-law?hehe!" he said, and hurriedly raised his glass and took a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment.
Although Lin Haotian was a little puzzled by Uncle Tai's strange behavior, he just thought that the old man had drunk too much, and he didn't take it to heart, he changed his words and said, "Prime Minister, I don't know what the king's attitude towards Du Yu is?"
Uncle Tai Hong sighed, shook his head and said, "The king naturally doesn't want Du Yu's rebellion to be true, otherwise he wouldn't have sent his nephew back to verify it!"
Lin Haotian was secretly taken aback, and his eyes glared at the avenue: "So, the king thinks that Du Yu was wronged?"
Tai Shuhong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What the king is worried about is the military power in Du Qing's hands!"
"How's that?"
"As a general, Du Qing has been in charge of the world's soldiers and horses for more than 20 years, and has already established an unshakable prestige in the army, and has also cultivated a large number of generals loyal to him.
Lin Haotian inhaled and said in shock: "Didn't the king want to use me to appease Du Qing?"
"That's not the case, as long as you can be sure that Du Yu collaborated with the enemy is true, the king will not blame you. After a pause, Tai Shuhong said again: "Hehe, luck haode, maybe the king will promote your position, so virtuous nephew, when you get to the court, you have to be more careful when you speak!"
"Don't worry, the prime minister has his own measure!" Lin Haotian didn't have much hope for promotion, as long as he could get through this hurdle, he would be thankful.
"That's good!" Uncle Tai Hong nodded with a smile, then stood up, raised his glass and said to everyone in the banquet: "Everyone, be quiet, the old man has something to say!"
Don't look at Tai Shuhong's old age and decrepitude, but his voice is not small, after this sound, everyone present stopped talking one after another, and looked at Tai Shuhong with drunken eyes and hazy eyes.
Uncle Tai Hong cleared his throat and said loudly: "Du Yu, as a border guard, has a great responsibility, and he should have done his best to protect his family and country, but he actually colluded with the red thief, took bribes privately, and intended to rebel and rebel, which is really the first scourge of my Dajin Country!" Speaking of this, Uncle Tai's face softened, and he continued: "However, thanks to Yu Yan and Lin Xian's nephew found out early, the thief's conspiracy did not succeed, and today's banquet should be used by me to celebrate Lin Xian's nephew!"
As soon as Uncle Tai's words fell, Xiao Xuan, the great Sikong Xiaoxuan, got up from his seat drunk, shook his head and said, "What the Prime Minister said is extremely true! General Lin is so bold and courageous at a young age, which is really admirable. Now that General Lin is willing to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is really like a fish in water, and at the same time, it is also the Prime Minister's unique vision that makes the Prime Minister's Mansion full of talents!"
For Xiao Xuan's praise, Tai Shuhong was very useful, and his face was also full of brilliance, but the old man still hurriedly gave in: "Oh, Lord Xiao praises falsely! The old man and Lin Xian's nephew are just doing their best for the country, how dare they talk about any credit? It's just ...... Alas!" He sighed heavily.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked, "Why is the adult sighing?"
"Presumably all the princes have heard of it, Du Qing refused to admit that Du Yu had rebelled, but insisted that Du Yu was framed by Lin Xian's nephew, and when he arrived at the court tomorrow, I think he would not give up. ”
"Hmph!" Xiao Xuan slapped the table with a fierce face, and said with an angry face: "Du Qingzhan has the military power in his hands, and he is against us everywhere, I can't get used to him for a long time! General Lin, don't worry, when I get to the court tomorrow, I will definitely support you with all my might!"
"Master Xiao is right! When tomorrow is above the court, I will definitely fully support General Lin!" Chen Tang, the chief bookkeeper, also hurriedly echoed.
Prime Minister Cao Yanqing and Taishi Ling Wei Wuji glanced at each other, and the two nodded tacitly, and they both followed suit: "We also support General Lin!"
This time, without waiting for Tai Shuhong to express his position, Lin Haotian took the lead in getting up from his seat, bowed deeply to everyone, and thanked him: "Thank you first!"
"Haha! Okay!" Uncle Tai Hong stroked his palm and smiled at everyone: "Since everyone is willing to work together, what is Du Qing afraid of?"
This meal is undoubtedly a bumper harvest for Lin Haotian, not only with the great help of Tai Shuhong, but also with the support of many ministers in the court, so that he is more confident to defeat Du Qing in the court.
