Yue Ziang bowed his head and toasted, and continued to pay for it in his mouth.

Ouyang Rong was reconciled by the jokes of Li Zhengyan, Wang Junzhi and others,

Raising his glass, he took a sip.

Yue Ziang on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief.

Ouyang Rong's face was as usual, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

He wasn't joking, he really hoped that Yue Ziang would continue to be unruly.

But now this apology looks like this.

This is very unbelievable.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

He noticed that someone in the seat next to him was looking at him, as if he was looking at him fixedly.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and saw that it was the eldest prince of Zhu who had a one-sided relationship.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, his seat was next to Ouyang Rong.

"Ouyang Changshi, the contemptible Zhu Yuheng, has long admired Your Excellency's name, and I have witnessed Your Excellency's demeanor at the birthday banquet of the Xie family's noble daughter before, and I don't know if Your Excellency remembers the contemptible."

Zhu Yuheng toasted towards Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong's head:

"Naturally, I remember, it's a pity that the ugliness of the next day made Zhu Gongzi and the banquet gentlemen laugh."

"How can you talk and laugh, it's obviously too late to envy,

"Ouyang Changshi was young and famous, and he was favored by the five nobles, and he was recognized by the Xie family of Chenjun, and he was ......

"Ouyang Changshi doesn't know how much the young talents who went to the banquet that day admired you."

Zhu Yuheng sighed.

When Ouyang Rong heard this, he looked at the eldest prince of the Hongzhou Governor's Mansion.

The man in this life is tall, powerful, sun-scorched wheat-skinned, but he wears a white shirt that is better than snow, which is quite nondescript and elegant.

Ouyang Rong's eyes glimpsed that Zhu Yuheng had a little callus on his mouth,

This kind of characteristic, Ouyang Rong had seen it with Qin Heng,

It is caused by the habit of holding the reins for a long time.

It's not just a gentleman, you should have had military experience...... He judged in his heart.

However, most of the scholars of the Great Qian and Great Zhou Dynasty were full of martial virtues, and they went to Xinjiang to gallop on the battlefield, and dismounted to drink and write poems.

plus his father, Zhu Ling, the military attache of the Xubian Army, made a fortune.

It is not surprising that there is a father and a son.

Ouyang Rong nodded lightly.

Because since the Taizong and Gaozong dynasties, it has been an upward trend in national strength, and so has the territory.

Joining the army to expand the territory and making meritorious contributions are the promotion methods in the hearts of the great cadres, second only to the imperial examination.

It's just that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, where the empress is now under the system, the expansion of the territory has gradually slowed down, and even suffered setbacks, and the Yingzhou Rebellion is an example......

Ouyang Rong replied in a flat tone:

"Zhu Gongzi doesn't look like an envious person."

Zhu Yuheng shook his head, lowered his voice and said:

"Contemptible people also have envy of Ouyang Changshi."

"Oh?"

He said word by word: "Ouyang Changshi can be valued by the King of Xunyang and the prince, and be regarded as a guest in the scene, this is the real ability." ”

Ouyang Rong was silent and glanced at Yue Ziang opposite.

The person was brought by him, and Zhu Yuheng should have learned some details from Yue Ziang.

For example, last time in Yunshui Pavilion, Yue Ziang bumped into a scene where Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang had a deep friendship.

"It's just a misinformation, don't dare to take it. As we all know, Corporal Wang Lixian of Xunyang is not just for the next person. ”

Zhu Yuheng was slightly stunned, and then smiled,

He toasted a glass of wine with a slightly apologetic expression.

Seeing the tacit understanding of this eldest prince Zhu, Ouyang Rong had a slight headache.

The influence of King Xunyang's identity as the former Great Emperor was much greater than he imagined.

As the crown prince appointed by Gaozong on his deathbed, the legal heir of Daqian, and the elder brother of King Xianglun.

At the same time, it is also one of the two royal lineages that are most grateful to Taizong and Gaozong.

One of the biggest golden signs.

The people of the world are flocking openly and secretly.

Like a firefly in a dark room, it attracts promising people.

Ouyang Rong suddenly heard Zhu Yuheng sigh:

"Don't hide it from Your Excellency, the contemptible people also sent a post to the Xunyang palace for their father, and wanted to visit the prince and invite the prince to visit Kuanglu, but it is a pity that the prince and the prince are busy, and the contemptible people are soft-spoken, and they have been s......tumbling from the front of the Yuan Zhengqian to the present."

Zhu Yuheng talked about the bitter water, and glanced at someone quietly.

Ouyang Rong's reaction was mediocre.

As if he was dizzy from drinking, he patted his drunken red cheek and put down his wine glass.

Pull out the chopsticks and pick up the vegetables to relieve hangover.

As the chief strategist of the Xunyang Palace, the "outsider" with the most weight in front of the father and son of Lixian and Fusu,

A person who monopolizes the channel of network resources.

Ouyang Rong inevitably realized the essence of something called power.

What is power.

In a way, power is a social node.

The reason why Li Zhengyan, Zhu Yuheng and others looked for an opportunity to contact him was that they were amiable and sincere.

Isn't it because he is the important node of the Xunyang Palace?

Li Zhengyan, as a veteran Guanlong nobleman who inherited the British public, although he was bold and generous, eclectic,

But it is the way in which power operates in a deep harmony with the way in which power has grown up since childhood, and it is also the rule of this era:

He knows that when he comes to a place and does something, he needs to find the person who works best, that is, the social node.

Whether it's about money or feelings, both must be "implemented" on the most correct person.

So, when Li Zhengyan and the others were still far away in the capital, they noticed Ouyang Rong, and they found Xie Xun and Shen Xisheng first.

How accurate this process is.

It's a pity that this time I met Ouyang Rong, who didn't eat hard and soft, and was sober-minded.

Recommended by the teacher, it is a guest from afar, and it is okay to be warmly entertained.

Talking about referrals? Wait, what kind of wine is this, it can make me slightly drunk with "a thousand glasses......

When Zhu Yuheng approached Ouyang Rong to talk, many people at the banquet also quietly stopped picking up dishes and listened attentively.

At the moment, because of Ouyang Rong's laughter, in order to prevent Zhu Yuheng from being embarrassed, Wang Junzhi inserted the topic and asked with a smile:

"Brother Zhu, why did Ling Zun entrust you to visit the King of Xunyang?"

Zhu Yuheng immediately said:

"At the beginning of the Gaozong Dynasty, when the king of Xunyang was the crown prince in charge of the country, he presided over the military merit reward and promoted the family Yan to the servant Shaoqing,

"The grace of knowing the encounter, the family is unforgettable, I recently heard that the king of Xunyang is in poor health, and the family is worried and worried, so he is looking for precious medicinal materials and sent me to send them."

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth couldn't help but pull.

Good guys, the Lixian family was relegated to a concubine before, why didn't you see your Zhu family father and son sending medicine to repay the kindness of the family when they were down and living in seclusion in Dragon City.

Is it a temporary amnesia?

Now that he is the king of Xunyang again, after obtaining the qualification to compete for the crown prince, Zhu Lingxu, the father of Ling, immediately remembered it.

However, Ouyang Rong couldn't help muttering after seeing Zhu Yuheng's red expression of eyes that was in high spirits and deeply moved by his father's adherence to the friendship of kings and ministers.

For a while, I couldn't tell if this eldest prince Zhu was pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

No, brother, it's okay to lie to buddy, don't lie to yourself, it really doesn't matter if you cheat buddy, just hit it haha, but you ......

Ouyang Rong complained in his heart, but soon found out that it may be that the era of growth is different, and everyone at the banquet except him seems to be very fond of this narrative of the friendship between kings and ministers.

They all sighed and praised it.

"Zhu Dudu is really a loyal minister of Bandang, a model for my generation." Yue Ziang was excited.

"If the courtiers are all like Zhu Dudu, how can the Wei villain be dominant." Du Shuqing, who has always been taciturn, said with a glance.

"The tiger father has no dogs, Brother Zhu is so aware of righteousness at a young age, and he is also a good man." Wang Junzhi nodded seriously.

Li Zhengyan bowed his head solemnly and raised his glass to everyone: "Come, a cup to Zhu Gong and Zhu Gongzi." ”

Everyone at the banquet raised their glasses and drank together.

seems to be the same as Yue Ziang, who can be praised and recognized by Li Zhengyan and other "derogatory celebrities" who have admired him for a long time.

Zhu Yuheng's face was flushed, he took a few deep breaths, raised his wine glass with a slight trembling hand, tilted his head sharply, and drank freely.

Except for someone who silently served the dishes, the atmosphere in the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

Wang Junzhi asked curiously:

"Brother Zhu looks like a military attaché, have you ever enlisted in the army?"

Li Zhengyan, Du Shuqing and others looked sideways.

Zhu Yuheng nodded, and Yue Ziang on the opposite side interjected with a smile:

"Dr. Wang's sentence that the tiger father has no dog is right, the Hongzhou Governor has a family style, and Brother Yuheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is proficient in archery, horse riding, and archery, and he is also familiar with military books.

"Unlike those gentlemen who only know pleasure, Brother Yuheng was sixteen years old, and was sent to the Longyou army by Zhu Dudu, starting as a scout and rising all the way to the rank of captain......

"Right now, Brother Yuheng has been transferred back to Jiangnan Province, and after this holiday, he will report to Hongzhou Fourth Zhechong Mansion."

"Like Ouyang Changshi, a good person is a dragon and a phoenix." Wang Junzhi praised.

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Zhu Yuheng a few more times.

Although he may have his father's military connections and his promotion is fast, this Zhu Dagongzi still sounds like something, compared with those powerful children with wine bags and rice bags.

It's just that the personality is a little more passionate and angry, similar to Yue Ziang, and I don't know if it's like the same sex attracts, or the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to the ink.

Du Shuqing suddenly said:

"Oh, Brother Zhu is also a scout from the border of Longyou Dao? I don't know which military town it is, which guard army it belongs to, and what the number is......"

"Brother Du too?"

Zhu Yuheng's eyes lit up, and he reported a number, as if he was familiar with each other, Du Shuqing shook his head and chatted with him.

During this period, Li Zhengyan, as the head of everyone, also spoke,

It seems that because the grandfather and father of the bigwig in the army inherited the British duke,

Li Zhengyan is also familiar with the border army of Longyou Dao, and the amount of information revealed in a few words made Zhu Yuheng impressed, his eyes admired, and he frequently toasted.

"Gong Li, your grandfather is a model in the hearts of contemptible people, and the mountains look up." Zhu Yuheng sighed:

"The old British prince has been in the three dynasties of Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong in his life, and he has made outstanding achievements, and the court has relied on it as a dry city, and he has been awarded the title of the Duke of the country, which is really the highest glory for the Han children who are aspiring to be in the army."

Li Zhengyan raised his head and took a sip of wine, and his tone was light:

"It's all in the past. Besides, the glory of the ancestors, what does it have to do with the children. In fact, my grandfather didn't like me the most, and bluntly said that he was a loser, and I didn't want to touch his glory, so I didn't mention it. ”

Zhu Yuheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer:

"In fact, the old men in the family all say this about their sons, and the family often criticizes me for being open-mouthed and acting impulsively, and one day I will be tired of him. This kind of thing, in fact, just listen to it, Li Gong should not take it seriously. ”

Li Zhengyan smiled lightly, turned his head, glanced at Ouyang Rong who was looking sideways, and raised his glass to drink.

Since the change to Zhou, in recent years, Wei has often stepped into the army, and a large number of military nobles who were originally Guanlong have been implicated and replaced, and new regulations have been promulgated.

may be people who are also in the military, Li Zhengyan, Zhu Yuheng, Du Shuqing and others have a lot of topics.

Even, the latter two began to indignantly mention the shortcomings of the military since Wei Zhou.

Initiating a complaint, reminiscing about the turbulent years when the great cadres opened up their territory and expanded their territory in the past.

The more Ouyang Rong listened, the more he found that it was not unreasonable for Yue Ziang and Zhu Yuheng to get together with Li Zhengyan, Du Shuqing, Wang Junzhi and other extreme Baoli factions.

Zhu Lingxu's reprimand for Zhu Yuheng was not without reason.

Ouyang Rong became more and more bold when he heard the topics that everyone was talking about at the banquet.

But the only question is, why do you want to bring him who is honest and doesn't discuss state affairs?

Is it because they all know that he represents the Xunyang Palace?

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched, a little speechless.

Continue to drink honestly,

I think it's better to get drunk a little more.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps outside the door, and there was also the sound of metal hard objects such as waist knives colliding because of the violent running of the owners of the footsteps.

The banquet hall fell silent for an instant.

Gurgle——!

Ping Pong ——!

The crisp sound of a wine glass hitting the ground resounded through the hall.

Ouyang Rong ignored the familiar movements outside, looked sideways for the first time, and observed everyone's faces with his spare eyes.

I saw Li Zhengyan and Wei Shaoqi's expressions as usual, one serving vegetables and one drinking, as usual.

Du Shuqing didn't know when, he had already stood up, his hand in his sleeve, and his eyes stared at the door.

Zhu Yuheng's hand raising his glass stopped in the air, and he frowned suspiciously and looked at the door.

And Wang Junzhi was also looking sideways, looking at Ouyang Rong.

The two met their eyes in the air.

Look at each other for a moment.

Wang Junzhi smiled, looked away, took out a pure white handkerchief from his sleeve, and intimately handed it to Yue Ziang next to him.

"Beware of slippery feet."

"Thank you...... Thank you Toshiyuki. ”

Yue Ziang hurriedly took the handkerchief.

Ouyang Rong's gaze shifted and he glanced at it.

At Yue Ziang's feet, a copper wine glass was tipping to the ground, and the cloudy liquor stained a large area of the floor. He was bending over, and with a slight scruff he wiped the floor.

It turned out that his hands were shaking just now, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

"Mingfu!"

At this time, Ouyang Rong's familiar footsteps arrived at the door, and Yan Liulang broke into the hall with a group of hunters.

didn't have time to pay attention to Li Zhengyan and the others, Yan Liulang passed by them with a nervous face, hurriedly came to Ouyang Rong's side, bent over, and whispered a few words.

The speed of speech is extremely fast.

Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi, Wang Junzhi and others exchanged glances, and their faces showed curiosity.

Immediately, they saw that Ouyang Lianghan, who was originally drunk with his head alone and holding a cup in the center of the hall, gradually tensed up and slowly raised his head.

In the next moment, he stood up.

The weak-crowned long history, who has always been gentle and polite, shook his sleeves and scolded loudly:

"Lan Changhao deserves death!"

Ouyang Rong's cheeks bulged, ignoring everyone, and strode away, Yan Liulang and others hurriedly followed, Li Zhengyan and others faintly heard Yan Liulang lower his voice and asked:

"Mingfu, this change involves Jiangzhou, what should we do now?"

Ouyang Rong walked out of the door without looking back, and dropped a sentence:

"Ask me what I'm doing, ask Zhu Lingxu and Wang Lengran to go!"

The tone was as cold as winter frost.

Zhu Yuheng, who was originally relieved in the hall, heard this, and his expression was shocked in an instant, "Ah, father?"

Li Zhengyan and the others also looked at him suspiciously.

Everyone was not confused for long, Ouyang Rong only walked for a while, and immediately a well-informed guest came to tell him.

In the west of Lingnan Road, an urgent message came to Jiangzhou:

In the second year of Tianyou, April 15, the capital of Guizhou.

More than 1,500 soldiers from Hongzhou and Jiangzhou, who had no hope of returning to their hometowns due to the postponement of the border war, mutinied, killed the surveillance officers in public, elected a well-respected leader, and mutinied to return to the north.

More than 1,500 brave soldiers have left Guizhou in anger and are on their way home......
