Chapter 63: The Same Journey, the Strange Road (5)
"Lord Jie, the next official is Ye Yongjia, and the word Tinglong is the table." Ye Yongjia saluted respectfully.
"Fortunately, fortunately," Jie Wenwu looked at him a few times, "I heard that Tinglong has disturbed the thieves of all lands in Nanjing, and I am really glad that I have added such a capable person as you!" Come, sit down and have a few more drinks with the official, and we need to support each other in the future! ”
He exhaled a breath of wine, rubbed his face, and dragged Ye Yongjia away, and enthusiastically asked him to sit down beside him.
At this time, Chen Tongpao was under Liu Zhennian's eyelids, but the latter's attitude was completely different from the previous one, just a few symbolic greetings, inquired about the things on the road, and ordered him to drink at the guest table.
Chen Tongpao walked silently in front of Gao Jizhi, the secretary of the ministry. He found out the person's behavior in Yangzhou as early as possible: this Gao Jizhi is a Shangshu who was just transferred last year; Although like everyone else, they are all from the so-called 'Liu Party', but Gao Shangshu intentionally or unintentionally stays away from the core of decision-making, resulting in slow promotion, and seems to be an upright gentleman who is not willing to form a party.
"I've bowed down to my sir." With that, he lowered his head and poured a glass of hot wine for Gao Jizhi.
"You can have a toast too." Gao Jizhi's face was still full of alcohol, and he gently raised his wine glass to greet his comrade Chen.
"Listen to your lordship." He smiled and filled himself with another glass, tilted his head and drank it.
"Happy together!" Gao Jizhi seemed to have found an old friend for many years, and he was willing to drink all the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"Chen Shilang," he dipped his hand on the wine on his beard, "this official has done a good job." The so-called whole world is not the king's land, and the word "world" and the king's land is the most inseparable. We all depend on God's grace to be able to do this, and you have to remember this kindness. ”
Chen Tongpao glanced at him and realized that this person was not as simple as he thought.
Not far from the two of them, Ye Yongjia had already been poured three or four bowls of wine by his Shangguan. The former had never rested from afar, and he had a headache when drinking, so he excused himself and said: "The lower officials are patronizing and drinking, and this stomach is still empty, Rong Ye will eat a few mouthfuls of food first, and then drink with the adults It is not too late." ”
Jie Wenwu shook his head and muttered, "That'...... Then I'll drink it alone! Drink him, fuck ......"
"Yongjia has never set foot in the court, and he has seen some ignorance, so please ask Lord Haihan. Forgive me for daring to ask, what is the emphasis on this military department? He asked, leaning against the table.
"How can you be in Nanjing, how can you be here." Jie Wenwu said nonchalantly, "You see, now that the world is peaceful, with a bumper harvest every year, and a prosperous scene, we just need to look at General Liu's dictatorship, and we have to sit back and enjoy its success." ”
"What do you mean...... The state has nothing to worry about? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jie Wenwu's eyes narrowed drunkly, "What's the concern?" Now is what makes us happy, the so-called rule by inaction, the Quartet is not in chaos, why do you need to do it again! Isn't it a mere nuisance? ”
Ye Yongjia smiled slightly, and no longer paid attention to it, there was a certain amount of anger in that smile.
"You don't believe it," Jie Wenwu saw what he meant, "I don't believe it, after we finish the feast, how about going to the streets?" It's not the same as it used to be, and what you saw before may not be true. ”
What I see may not be true, but you haven't even looked at it. Ye Yongjia secretly retorted in his heart.
Soon, the wine was almost drunk by everyone, and the feast was immediately withdrawn in laughter; Seeing that everyone was walking and scattering, Liu Zhennian wanted to say a few words to Ye Yongjia, but who knew that Najie Wenwu was very drunk, and he didn't care about his feelings at all, and pulled Ye Yongjia hard: "Ye Shilang, if you don't believe it, let's go to the street and let you take a good look at our Chengping treasure land!" And call the subordinates: "Bring the decanting soup!" ”
Liu Zhennian had no choice but to order his subordinates to hand over the decanting soup prepared behind the kitchen and give Jiewenwu a big cup to drink.
"Let's go......" He put on his official uniform and pushed Ye Yongjia and walked out.
"This Shangshu not only doesn't know the rules, but is also so arrogant!" Yan Liang was beside Liu Zhennian, gritting his teeth and scolding.
"Alas, your knowledge is not as good as your brother," Liu Zhennian said with a smile, "This person is a little stupid and ignorant, but his heart is not bad, and he is a peacemaker on weekdays, and he has no authoritarian heart, so he can ensure the stability of this time." ”
"The days of panic before the people have gradually dissipated, so you don't have to be careful with everything. About your phase...... Everybody's stilted. ”
Liu Zhennian frowned: "What did your brother say?" ”
"You have to ask him, it's just a little man's whim, it's really not well thought out."
"This step has to be taken, and I'm tired of this rotten status quo." Liu Zhennian's eyes exuded a resolute gaze, and he walked out of the hall with heavy steps.
At this time, Jiewenwu's wine was almost gone. He found two horses, and together with Ye Yongjia, he gradually left the palace and walked into the densely populated street.
"It's called Taiping Street." Jie Wenwu and he stood on the top of the stone bridge, looking at the large and small markets on the street almost from a bird's-eye angle, neatly connected like tic-tac-toe, and the smoke from far and near perfectly blended with these scenes, like a picture.
"Since the founding of the country, this place has been a place for merchants and ordinary people to gather, and when the Spring Festival firecrackers are firecracked, it is more lively!"
Ye Yongjia nodded patiently and walked through the street with him.
While talking, I saw a Buddhist temple in the distance, and in the dazzling red walls, several pagodas were built next to the high houses, row upon row, so not spectacular. Before the plaque was hung, it occupied more than ten miles of land around.
"How? Looks magnificent, right? Seeing that Ye Yongjia couldn't take his eyes off it, Jie Wenwu said proudly, "It is said that this Buddhist temple will be completed tomorrow, and it is really a wonder of my Jingshi!" ”
"The work of this temple is so huge, I think it has been famous for a long time, can it have a name?" Ye Yongjia asked.
"What is it called Lingyuan Temple...... It is said that this temple is built by the Ministry of Industry, and it is said that there is no money available recently, so it is better to raise a big temple and strengthen the prosperity of our country! Since autumn, it has only been repaired for three or four months, and it has been completed! Jie Wenwu looked very proud, "You say, built so quickly, and built so exquisitely, which ancient and modern Chinese and foreign can match?" The dynasty is really a prosperous era that has not been encountered in a hundred years! ”
'Relying on these to prove the current prosperity ......' Ye Yongjia didn't feel a little afraid in his heart, he looked at the carriage sedan chair in front of him and behind him, looked at the horsemen who were dressed in tattered clothes and were served, and didn't dare to say a word.
