There was no curfew in the Jin Dynasty, so the drinking street at night was a little more lively than during the day.

In the place near the green building near the wharf, several beautifully lit ships are moored on the shore, which is very spectacular.

On the ship in the middle, there were lights everywhere, and there were bursts of singing and laughter in the noise, and before you got closer, you could already feel the excitement inside.

In the pavilion on the top floor, two young people in brocade clothes sat drinking and drinking, one of them was Sima Li, who appeared in the Three Princes' Mansion that day, dressed in white and with elegant manners, even if he was recognizable at a glance in the crowd.

The young man sitting opposite him was somewhat familiar, and he was obviously far inferior to the former in terms of speech and aura.

If Sima Shao was here, he would definitely be able to recognize him, this person was Li Xian, the son of the Hubu Shilang.

"You, it's not me saying you, when you come to this kind of place, you have to let go and play, the whole Jiankang can talk about the girls, except for those in the palace, are basically here, and money can only make people happy when they are spent......"

Sima Li looked at Li Xian, who seemed to be a little embarrassed in front of him, and said with a smile.

As a well-known gentleman of the Li family, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are not unfamiliar.

But with his identity, staying here is still not used to it.

It's not a matter of silver, but the hospitality on this painting boat is either rich or expensive, and he is a son of a household servant's family who comes here, and he doesn't have that feeling of being superior, and even has the illusion of being inferior.

No matter where it is, the big and small circles are ranked by seniority, like Sima Pei, who holds the title of prince, can be regarded as the top figure in this circle, and then go to a higher place like the prime minister and the heir of the general's family, and then it is Li Xian's turn to be at this level.

Seeing Sima Yi say this, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief a little, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness, it's rude, forgive me." ”

Sima Li shook his head secretly in his heart, then patted him on the shoulder, with an approachable attitude, his tone was also sincere at this time, and he paused and said: "Today is to take you out for a walk, if you want to integrate into it in the future, you have to deal with others, you can decide for yourself, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me again." This will be very beneficial for you in your future career or in the market......"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Okay, listen to Your Highness." Li Xian said respectfully, "I'll open the door." ”

Sima Di smiled and waved his hand and walked over.

The door of the hall opened, and a man wearing a brocade robe, a dragon and phoenix pattern jade pendant on his waist, and a slightly obese figure walked in, just happened to meet the oncoming Sima Di, and said:

"Your Highness, I didn't expect this place to be so unlucky, I just happened to meet the old man of the Ministry of Industry on the way here, and I was scolded when I caught me, saying that if you don't come to Fengyue ...... place, it will ruin the house, and the old thing is quite wide."

As the heir of the squire of the Criminal Department, it can be said that he walks sideways in Jiankang City, and ordinary officials have to take a detour when they meet him, as long as he doesn't do things to kill people on the street and prevent fire, even if he makes trouble with the county official, it's just a scolding.

Right now, he just came to the door of this Fengyue place, and he was scolded by the old man of the Ministry of Works, where did he put his face?

However, the other party is still a big official in the court, and he is of the same generation and class as his father, and he can't even talk back when he is scolded, which makes him not angry.

"Haha, stop the anger and stop the anger, the old man of the Ministry of Works claims to be a righteous person, and he has a clean breeze on his sleeves all day long, and it is natural that he is not used to seeing our group of gentlemen." Sima Qi also smiled and comforted.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

"That's right, don't let me meet this old dog in private next time, don't blame me for being ruthless when you see me."

"Haha, are you going to find someone to cover his face and give him a mallet?"

"With this idea, by the way, why did Your Highness call me here from afar?"

......

On the other side of the painting boat, the Ministry of Works, who was scolded by the eldest son of the criminal department waiter, was sitting on the table with a group of people at the moment, and the table was full of all kinds of exquisite dishes at the moment, but no one put down the chopsticks, everyone had a solemn look, exchanged glances with each other, and finally looked at the one sitting in the middle.

Someone finally spoke: "Prime Minister Wang, now the situation in the north is complicated, and the war is about to break out, but looking at Your Majesty's attitude, it is still unclear, and if it drags on like this, sooner or later there will be trouble, but if this matter is said by us, we will inevitably be scolded as a rebel again......

Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of one day or two days, since you and I are sitting in this position, how can there be a reason not to be scolded, your temperament is still more experienced, Your Majesty is not willing to express his position easily, this is a good thing for the court, the way to weigh it." And I don't think Your Majesty is the kind of faint gentleman who makes you faint, you see that in recent days, Your Majesty has been described as thin and haggard, and I am afraid that he will be bothered with state affairs all day long. ”

"We must not discuss state affairs in vain, we are the sword in the hands of His Majesty, as long as His Majesty needs us, I will be dispatched by His Majesty when I wait, and those who discuss state affairs in vain will be wiped out, so I dare not discuss state affairs in vain."

The imperial court has suffered many disasters over the years, the people have suffered a lot, and the combat strength of the army has also been greatly weakened, so they are busy relocating the common people.

But it's no one's fault.

"Your Majesty's affairs, we don't dare to discuss it, since you and I are courtiers, we only need to share your Majesty's worries, and we really don't dare to discuss Your Majesty's unresolved matters."

One of the people present said this, as if to speak everyone's mind, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

The old man's brows furrowed when he heard this, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone understands the truth that disaster comes from the mouth, and it is just a matter of complaining in front of me, and you must not take it out and say it." ”

"Prime Minister Wang, we are also naked, and the prime minister should not be blamed."

"You guys." Wang Xiang sighed, "No matter what, don't mention it again." ”

"I understand below."

Everyone responded, but as for whether they really understood or were forced by the situation, they didn't know.

Everyone was actually afraid of provoking the fire, and when they heard what Wang Xiang said, they quickly changed the topic.

Between the words, a few fireworks suddenly rose in the night sky outside, which were extremely gorgeous, causing a heated discussion among the women on the ship.

The old man just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and beckoned the others to start eating, and the food on the table was almost cold.
