At night, Yufeng Building, as one of the largest restaurants in Cangzhou City, ushered in the best time for business. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yufeng Building has a total of four floors, the first floor is a lobby, which has nearly 100 tables for ordinary people to welcome and send to dinner.

The second floor is a private room, which is mostly a well-off and wealthy family.

The facilities on the third floor are more luxurious and noble, and generally only receive dignitaries and dignitaries in Cangzhou Prefecture.

There is only one room on the fourth floor, but it can be said that there are all kinds of contents such as rockery and flowing water, silk and bamboo strings, dancing girls and singers, and Tibetan boudoirs.

According to the gossip circulating in the neighborhood, spending a night on this fourth floor, not counting the cost of expensive drinks and popular singers, will cost at least 200 taels of silver as a base, which can be described as extremely luxurious and very affordable for people.

As a result, the fourth floor of Yu Fung Building is generally closed.

But tonight, it's brightly lit.

On the octagonal table in the center, there were six officials sitting at this time, namely Du Ji, the prefect of Cangzhou, Tan Ming, and Zhuge Hong, the general judge, as well as Shao Yehua, Guan Xingyun, and Su Yuankai from the Ministry of Rites.

Although the three people in the Ministry of Rites are of the same rank as Du Ji, they are all five ranks, but after all, they are from Shangjing City, so they are still above when they sit down.

And among these three people, Shao Yehua, a member of the staff, is honored and sits at the top.

At this time, Shao Yehua took a bite of the dish, and after chewing it carefully, he said in a rather arrogant tone: "Colleagues in Cangzhou, the last time Yang Li was attacked in Chonghe County, Lord Shoufu personally inquired about it, and it seems that he is not very satisfied with the efficiency of several things!"

When Du Ji and the others heard this, they immediately showed a look of panic and anxiety, among which Du Ji stood up directly and replied respectfully: "This matter is indeed a little wrong when we dealt with it, but fortunately, the follow-up remedy was timely, and there was no irreparable error." And although this thing was not done, the purpose was also to reduce the burden of Shousuke-sama, which is really kind. I also hope that a few adults will say a few kind words to avoid any misunderstandings. ”

After speaking, Du Ji took out three half-opened exquisite gift boxes and handed them to the three officials of the Ministry of Rites in turn.

Shao Yehua glanced at it quietly, estimating that the silver tickets in each gift box were about three thousand taels, and the expression on his face was slightly softened, and he said: "Lord Du is really too polite, what are you doing with all this red tape? We are all people in the same boat, so naturally we have to help each other." ”

Seeing this, the other two officials of the Ministry of Rites also accepted the share in front of them.

From here on, the tone of the atmosphere of the whole banquet was set, and the next thing was to stagger, and everyone talked happily.

The singer who had been waiting for a long time was also summoned to play her best lyrics and songs, and six young and beautiful maids came to the various officials, waiting to pour wine and food.

Occasionally, a woman's strange voice could be heard during the banquet, and I don't know which hand pinched a place that shouldn't be touched.

After three rounds of drinking, Shao Yehua suddenly cleared his throat, and several people in the banquet immediately quieted down. Then Du Ji waved his hand, and those singers and maids immediately understood and hurriedly withdrew.

Under the gaze of everyone, Shao Yehua slowly spoke: "I don't know what the **** arranged before, how did you investigate?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhuge Hong immediately got up and replied: "Lord Hui, the dog just went to test it in person yesterday, but Yang Li directly defeated the dog without using the mysterious spar. ”

Zhuge Hong didn't dare to hide it, and described in detail the experience of the competition between Yang Li and Zhuge Haoxuan last night.

Hearing this, Shao Yehua's expression also became solemn, and he continued after a while: "If I'm not mistaken, your son Zhuge Haoxuan, in the selection and assessment of the Yuan Controller, the destructive power and control power obtained are both first-class, right?"

Zhuge Hong didn't expect the other party to remember so clearly, he was stunned at first, and then nodded busily.

Shao Yehua continued to speculate: "The limit weight of Zhuge Haoxuan's control object should be between eight hundred catties and one thousand catties, and since Yang Li's strength can crush him, it must reach the level of more than one thousand two hundred catties. ”

"According to the information I got before I set off in Shangjing City, when Yang Li participated in the Yuan Controller Assessment, he only used a spar the size of a grain of rice. This shows that his own elemental power is not strong, but he is lucky to get a spar with a harder hardness than a ruby somewhere. ”

"According to our original plan, we only tested his control and destructive power during the review. As long as he doesn't even get a grade B, we can use the excuse that the law is not perfect to deprive him of his qualifications for being judged as a special class. ”

"But judging from the current situation, Yang Li's elemental power has been greatly improved compared to before, and it won't work with this method anymore. I guess those guys from the Ministry of War also thought of this, so they gave him a lot of quenching liquid, and they didn't hesitate to create a special Yuan Controller. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fall silent.

Once the Superior Element Controller appears, it will undoubtedly increase the confidence of the people of the entire Cloud Country, and the willingness to fight against the wolf barbarians will also be strengthened, and at the same time, it will also make their Lord and faction fall into great passivity.

And the military department will seize this opportunity to use the public opinion to propagate their views in the court, and demand that the current saints make preparations for war.

In this way, all key positions in the court will also be taken advantage of by them to stuff the men and horses of the main battle faction under the pretext of "being good at military affairs", thus posing a fundamental threat to the power position of their main and faction.

Just imagine:

The whole country is ready to start a war, can a chief assistant who advocates peace still sit firmly?

After a long time, Du Ji finally broke the dull atmosphere and said, "In the final analysis, this matter does not depend on whether Yang Li is recognized as a special controller. It is the emergence of the special element controller and the impact of public opinion on Yunguo. ”

"If we change our perspective and give Yang Li a generous amount of the special Yuan Controller, but at the same time, we can also find a way to discredit him, so that he can't exert as much influence as before, wouldn't that also be considered to have achieved the goal?"

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of several people lit up, and Shao Yehua asked even more eagerly: "What is the high opinion of Lord Du?"

Du Ji stroked his long beard and explained with a smile: "I mean, just make this secret review into a national public form, so that everyone can watch it." As for us, we don't look at Yang Li's tenacity achievements, but look at his actual combat ability. ”

"Actual combat ability?"

Shao Yehua and the others couldn't help but have a smile on their faces.

"That's right!" Du Ji continued, "Let's assume the worst-case scenario, even if Yang Li gets the ten bottles of quenching spirit liquid given by the Ministry of War, the elemental power is now strong enough to control a weight of 1,400 catties, but it is still a lot worse than Che Mingjun's 1,600 catties." ”

"When we arranged for Che Mingjun to compete with Yang Li in actual combat, as long as Yang Li loses, then even if he gets the special results we give, what can he do?

"Good strategy!"

Another official of the Ministry of Rites, Guan Xingyun, happily continued: "Actual combat ability is exactly what those guys in the Ministry of War shout all day long, saying that it is the ultimate test standard that determines the ability of a person who controls the element, and now we propose this, they can only pinch their noses and admit it, otherwise they will slap themselves in the face." ”

Shao Yehua pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, then follow this plan." ”

"Prefect Du!"

"Xia Guan is here. ”

"After I go back tonight, I will immediately write a document and notify the whole country, saying that three days after Cangzhou Mansion, Yang Li's special assessment results will be reviewed, and the people of the whole country are welcome to supervise and watch together!"

"The subordinate obeys!"

After the business was over, after a while, there were silk bamboos, string music, and all kinds of flirtatious sounds at the banquet.
