Liu Li made his attitude of dissatisfaction with the prince clear, and Xue Jingzhong smiled and listened without saying a word.

Zhao Tianze on the side said to Liu Li: "The prince is still young, and he is not very skilled in human feelings. Liu Junmen still has a lot to do. ”

The son of the world is young, can't do things? Liu Li felt that the taste was not quite right when he heard this, and felt that his previous complaints were a bit too much, what do you want to do Don't pull me!

The new General Manager Liu immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare, my old Liu is a reckless person, drinking and drinking!" ”

Liu Li stood up and pulled Meng Yishan and said, "Let's toast Lord Zhao for a cup!" The political envoy is the parent of a province, and he will have to rely on it more in the future. ”

The military leader of Luoyang and Lao Meng, who was barely a military minister, toasted the political envoy together. As long as the imperial court did not send a governor down, the feudal lord was the head of the civil officials.

Zhao Tianze raised his glass a little reservedly, and drank a glass of wine from Zhu Ju with a smile on his face.

Then the lord of the clan said a little wantonly: "I have heard of the reputation of the prince, and you, the king of the county, can be said to be brave in doing anything!" You have served in the fiefdom for many years, and you have worked hard in everything, and you are quite wise. ”

Zhu Ju's face was slightly red, and he got up and thanked him, "The kid is young and shallow, and as a clan, he only knows a little bit of loyalty to the country. ”

Zhao Tianze nodded with satisfaction, motioned for Zhu Ju to sit down, and said with a smile on his face: "It's a pity that Yiye Chitose is a little old-fashioned, and the young and old are orderly, I agree with this, but the position of the crown prince needs both ability and political integrity, I think the king of Yongning County is good!" ”

According to the inspector, Lord Xue had to interject, and also smiled: "The prince is also good, we, the courtiers, and the vassal king, are always out of bounds. ”

"Lord Xue is bad!"

Fan Tai directly slapped the wine glass and said earnestly: "What is the vassal king?" The Screen of the Country! The prince's family affairs, that is equivalent to state affairs! What the little county king said just now is good, we officials must be loyal to the country and avoid suspicion of anything, can this country be good! ”

Lord Xue kept smiling, the corners of his eyes didn't move, and he quietly listened to Zhao Tianze's impassioned feelings.

Lord Zhao has completely entered the state and said: "I heard that the prince killed people on the streets of Luoyang, and Luoyang Mansion still doesn't dare to ask people?" As a clan, he is so lawless! ”

The feudal platform slapped the table, "Zhao also heard that the palace has embezzled more than 400,000 mu of the Ye family's fertile land, and Ye Qianbi, the right capital, howled and vomited blood on the Golden Palace!" The local Buddhist temples, private houses, and even the mansions of officials have been demolished and occupied by the internal supervisors of the palace. ”

Who vomited blood? Meng Yishan stretched out his hand to pick up the vegetables for a moment, and then casually put a chicken leg into the bowl, burying his head in eating the meat seriously.

Liu Li sat there a little silent. Zhao Tianze looked at Meng and Liu, and continued: "Zhao's words, out of the bottom of your heart, what do you think?" ”

Meng Yishan put down the chopsticks and said directly: "What are the remnants of the people, who are the people?" Ye family Ye Qianxun, that's a big man on the green forest road! Ye Qianbi: That's a official! Those who farm outside the city, hunt in the mountains, and work in all kinds of cities are the people! ”

Liu Li was so frightened that he simply put his hand on his head, pretended to have drunk too much, and said vaguely: "Humble duty, not enough to drink that power!" ”

Zhao Tianze's face was already a little stiff with coldness, and he was speechless for a while by Lao Meng.

Lao Meng laughed and said, "Don't blame me, my old Meng is also a reckless person!" ”

The lord of the clan has been an official for a long time, and his joy and anger are well controlled, otherwise he really wants to flip the table. Lord Zhao also has a team of personal guards in his hands, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat Lao Meng, he would want to directly order the person to be taken in the name of the criminal.

Zhao Tianze decided to endure it for the time being, and insisted on finishing the matter, "The first King Yi was the youngest son of Taizu, and he was cruel and unkind back then, and when he died, the Ministry of Rites gave him the nickname, King Yili!" ”

Zhu Ju's face was a little unsightly, but he didn't squeak, anyway, you were talking about my ancestors and didn't say anything about me.

Zhao Tianze continued: "Yin Jian is not far away, how similar this is to the prince!" The inheritance of this throne can no longer be so laissez-faire, Zhao decided to take the risk of disapproval, write to the court, and ask for a reprimand to King Yi and change the son! ”

Zhu Ju wiped the corners of his eyes, and when he saw that he couldn't squeeze out tears, he immediately covered his face with his sleeves and howled. While crying and sobbing, he said: "My father is eloquent, but his majesty is not strict, my brother ...... I'm willing to take the blame for my brother! ”

Zhao Tianze hugged him with a look of regret and said, "There is such a sincere and filial person as a virtuous nephew!" ”

Zhao Tianze completely stopped pretending, and said: "You are willing to sign this chapter?" ”

Signed? Mr. Liu simply borrowed wine and pretended to be crazy, poured it on the table with a bang, and didn't know anything.

This Liu Li can't be on the stage! Fan Tai looked at Meng Yishan again and said: "Uncle Ling's uncle, He Lao Shangshu, is old and virtuous, and he is also an old minister of several dynasties, and Zhao also wants to visit and reach a consensus." ”

Lao Meng pretended to be stupid and said, "I can't care about my uncle's side." I agree with the change of life, my little apprentice Zhu An is good, sincere and pure filial piety! ”

It's okay to change Zhu Pan, but if you want to change to Zhu Ju, Lao Meng will definitely not agree. As soon as he spoke, he stirred.

Yan Ji watched from the side and laughed like crazy, thinking that this time it was not in vain, this excitement was really interesting.

Xue Jingzhong glanced at the domain with sharp eyes at this time, and said to him: "Brother Zhao is an important minister, and his words and deeds must not be careless!" ”

Fantai wanted to poke a hornet's nest and push Zhu Ju to the forefront. This table is either pretending to be stupid or full, and there is no consensus among several civil and military officials.

Luo Pinghai stood beside Zhu Ju for a long time, and dragged him at this time, and the king of Yongning County hurriedly smiled to resolve the deadlock and said: "Spend a good night here tonight, everyone relax, after the fact!" ”

The little king wanted to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "You are busy on weekdays, and it is rare to have this leisure time to get together. Xiao Wang prepared a table of singing and dancing, all of which were musicians in the house, singing and singing vulgar songs! ”

Lao Mengxin said that you came to the Qinglou to listen to the music and led the team by yourself. It's also rare enough.

Next, Luo Pinghai arranged for people to decorate the surroundings, lit bright candles and lanterns, and summoned musicians to come up and play a cappella singing.

The moon is white and the wind is clear, and it is in the gentle township of Huayuelou, and several adults are guests and hosts. Anyway, Zhao Tianze's initiative is definitely not a consensus, and several men can only be consistent in listening to music.

Most of the musicians selected by the king of the small county are the beautiful twenty-nine beauties, about a dozen, four people hold the pipa and the zheng, and the rest are the dancing girls in white skirts and water sleeves.

The winter night was cold, but Meng Yishan and the others were flanked by a delicate tandoor oven that was as red as fire, and the room was so warm that it was spring.

The beauties under the steps hold the pipa and play the kite, and play a song "Spring River Flower Moon Night", the sound of the zither is like flowing clouds and water, and the pipa sound is like a pearl and jade splash, and the height is harmonious. The water sleeves swirl and dance, with the aftertaste of fat powder, the Luo skirt is slightly bundled, and the willow waist is more enchanting.

The surroundings of Huayue Tower seemed to be silent, only the breeze under the sleeves of the beauty dance and the touching music were transmitting, echoing in everyone's ears.

The political envoy Zhao Tianze was smiling, watching the song and dance, and at the same time calming down with Master Xue's unhappiness, Zhu Ju vigorously maneuvered between Liu Li and Meng Yishan, and praised the two of them. Zhu Jun's throne was high, and the flattery came out of his mouth, which was very jerky and inconsiderate. But his self-esteem is so low, which also makes Liu Li feel that he has a lot of face.

Meng Yishan didn't have a good impression of Zhu Ju, what did Master Zhao say about this kid being diligent in government affairs in Yongning?

Lao Meng is bright-hearted, this Zhu Ju is greedy for flowers and lustful, and the women of good families have ruined a lot. The political performance is not half a point.

He listened to the music for a while, but he was really not interested in the soft and beautiful sound, and stood up directly in impatience.

Old Mengtuo said: "Brother just ate too much, hehe, it's convenient!" He turned around and walked out of the flower hall.

Leaving Yan Ji to support everyone on the table, Mo Kui and Song Jizu followed over to escort them inch by inch.

When he came to the corridor, Meng Yishan stopped his steps and scolded: "The little bastard wants to win people's hearts, phew! And Zhao Tianze, the bird official! ”

He turned his head and instructed Song Jizu: "Old Song, go and catch someone who is in charge of the county king's mansion for me to ask, and see what kind of hookup this Zhu Ju has with Zhao Tianze." ”

Song Jizu was stunned, and secretly said that this Meng inspector had no scruples, he was reduced from a sect master to a follower, and his behavior became more and more cautious. Although I was worried in my heart, I was involved in the officialdom struggle of Lao Meng and caused trouble, but when a monk hit the clock for a day. Or go down and obey the orders to arrest people.

Yan Ji looked indifferent, sat quietly on the side of the pavilion, listened to the tune, watched the wonderful dance, and gradually frowned slightly, this song "Spring River Flower Moon Night" was originally called the sunset drum, the original intention was to reflect the sunset reflecting the river, the artistic conception of the wind blowing ripples, is the swan song in the pipa song.

was performed by these dancing girls of Zhu Ju, and there was a feeling of lewdness blowing on the face and the fire of swinging into the body. The original light and elegant music is washed and washed, and it is vaguely transformed into a Hudi dance that entertains people with color. It was a big loss of interest, and it also showed that the style of the owner of the county king's mansion was not good.

Mr. Yan was sighing, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Na Luo Pinghai looking at the people in the banquet with unkind eyes, and the corner of his eyes swept towards the bewitching beauties in the singing and dancing from time to time, with a lot of anger and greed.

Yan Ji secretly laughed in his heart that this young man was still a little immature, and he wrote all his desires on his face, which was far worse than Lao Meng, who was so stupid and stunned.

Song Zhangjiao was very neat, and he came back after going to tea. replied in Lao Meng's ear: "Zhu Ju was engaged to Zhao Tianze's daughter a month ago, and the marriage will be completed soon." ”

Meng Yishan sneered: "Hehe, I have become Weng's son-in-law, no wonder Fantai praises this kid Zhu Ju like this!" ”

Song Jizu nodded, and then added: "At first, the feudal platform was interested in Zhu Pan, and wanted to marry his daughter to the prince of Yiwang, but his request for marriage was refused. I heard that the prince agreed, but Zhu Pan insisted on it. Zhao Tianze was very embarrassed, and he retreated to the second best place and chose Zhu Ju as his son-in-law. ”

Lao Meng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart No wonder this Zhao Tianze was so embarrassed by Zhu Pan, and secretly released cold arrows. Knowing the relationship between them, he smiled and said, "Let's go in and see what tricks these two bastards play!" ”

Although the political envoy is ranked second-class, Zhao Tianze uses his daughter as a bargaining chip, and Zhu Ju's lustful and immoral notoriety is unknown. Lord Zhao gave his daughter to him, which made Lao Meng very disdainful, whether you really want to serve the country and the people, dissolve King Yi's vassal state, or help Zhu Ju to achieve greater ambitions.

Doing things like this is really small, and Lao Meng feels that this is a villain's approach.

Meng Yishan turned back and sat down again, exchanged glances with Mr. Yan again, and turned his head to talk to Lord Xue, it seemed that he really went to the toilet and came back, nothing unusual.

Time flies, the moon shadow moves eastward, and the first watch drum is played in the distance, and the beautiful women and spectators in the field are already tired.

Luo Pinghai clapped his hands, signaled to stop the singing and dancing, took the reward and the leading servants, and asked her to take these dancing girls down.

When the Accord was neutral, it seemed a little empty, and it looked like the song and dance had finished and the remnants of the table were about to end.

King Zhu Jun's expression was surprisingly excited, and Zhu Ju said: "Before the dismissal, Xiao Wang has a word to tell you......"

Zhu Ju sneered: "Lord Zhao has already made his words clear, you are all smart people, but your response is very embarrassing. Xiao Wang just wants to know if you can support me to inherit the throne! ”

Old Meng Xindao This kid has become so arrogant, he must have something to rely on. Breaking the silence and saying: "Hehe, recommend you to be the prince?" I'm afraid that on the day of his accession to the throne, Lao Tzu will have to move his head. ”

Lao Meng had already offended Zhu Ju to death with three arrows in Minglun Hall, and at this time he pretended to be generous and said: "If Brother Meng refers to the small grudge in Longmen Gambling House, it is a little trivial. I toast Brother Meng with a glass of wine, and everyone here can be a witness. ”

Meng Yishan just sneered. And there was no response. Immediately, Zhu Ju, who had the cup in his hand, froze on the seat.

Xue Jingzhong's face sank like water, got up and said: "The king of the county is drunk, please forgive the old and the young man!" With a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and was about to leave the cabinet.

Liu Li saw that Zhu Ju had some taste of the dagger, and saw that the scene was wrong, and wanted to withdraw as soon as possible. Hurriedly said: "Yes, it's not early." Liu wanted to go back to the guard office to check the night. I'll have a drink with you all the adults another day. ”

Zhu Ju secretly scolded these cunning people in his heart! He waved his hand with a calm face and stopped: "Wait a minute!" ”

The purpose of setting up this night banquet was also to find out what these people thought about the crown prince of Yi, and to prepare a thick coin and a generous letter to form an Austrian aid.

Zhao Tianze had already made an oath in advance to help him achieve the throne. The remaining Zhu Ju also thought that they knew very well, but they didn't expect to touch the nails one by one.

Liu Likeng sat on the deputy commander-in-chief, and Zhu Ju made a lot of efforts in the middle. This Liu Junmen has shallow qualifications in the guards, but his ability to drill the camp is not small, he invited the king of Xiaojun several times in advance, walked through the door of the Yiwang Mansion, and bought the officials to promote Zhu Zhanlong, and Zhu Ju said a lot of good things on the side. The prince wanted to control the Luoyang Guard, and he happened to pull this general up.

King Yi secretly signaled to the officials of the Jingli Military Department to recommend Liu Li to the imperial court. The general soldier of Luoyang Mansion was assassinated, and the case was unresolved, so please send a military general to take over military affairs as soon as possible.

The emperor couldn't see this secret dealing, but he was very cautious about personnel. Only issued an order to promote Liu Li to the deputy commander-in-chief, and temporarily take charge of the Luoyang Guard. It is also necessary to wait for the selection of the chief military officer officially appointed by the imperial court before handing over military affairs.

This made Liu Li's dream discounted and generated some resentment. Zhu Ju thought that he could use it, and promised high-ranking officials to persuade him to help him.

As a result, I didn't expect that this Liu Junmen was an old slippery head who had been rolling in the officialdom for many years, and he only knew that he was a steady official, and he didn't have the courage to make trouble with the king of Yongning County.

Not long after Lord Xue came down to Luoyang from Beijing, Zhu Ju heard that this old guy likes to seek the wind and the moon. Go to some Qinglou Chu Pavilion to spend time. So this invitation was set in Huayue Building, this kind of three-grade official could not be bought, only flattered, that Xue Jingzhong did not want to infiltrate the dispute between the elders and the young of the Wang family.

The remaining Meng Yishan made Zhu Ju even more angry, thinking that this scarface man and his eldest brother had a grudge because of the competition for the daughter of Li Zhifu, and his brother's enemies would naturally want to win him over. Besides, Meng Patrol has been reused by the prince, and he is still the master of the little prince Zhu An, and when he is popular, he wants to let go of his hatred.

But he miscalculated the Monsan-Thief. He didn't accept the king of heaven, let alone Zhu Ju, who was already unpleasant.

The night was dark, and Zhao Tianze, the political envoy, was also sinking like water, Zhu Ju did this play, he had not discussed it with him beforehand, so impatient and persecutive, the situation was a little wrong.

King Yongning looked at Luo Pinghai beside him, and Luo Pinghai responded with a look. made Zhu Ju make a decision in his heart. Chongkou said: "Since a few people don't support this king, then please stay." Go to Yongning Panhuan for two days! "He spoke fiercely, and he called the invitation but actually wanted to detain it.

Xue Jingzhong glanced at Zhu Ju angrily and said, "You want to detain the old man?" He turned around and walked out, and within two steps, Zhu Ju motioned to the two guards of the county king's mansion to stop him.

Lord Xue's eyes widened, so that the two of them did not dare to make a move, but they still obeyed the order of the county king to stop the actions of the old man.

Luo Pinghai smiled and spoke on behalf of Zhu Ju: "My lord, please stay, and please return to the table." ”

There is an unquestionable attitude under the earnest smile. Xue Jingzhong, a civil official, had no way to get out, and returned to the table with an angry face.

Liu Li's heart was unlucky, he didn't expect that a meal would evolve like this, Zhu Ju actually tore his face and kept people. But he expected that Zhu Ju's ability was limited, and he didn't dare to do anything to his deputy commander-in-chief, and after calming down a little, he also sat down again with the mentality that a hero would not suffer the loss in front of him.

Meng Yishan was not so easy to get along with, got up and shouted: "The rabbit boy surnamed Luo, if you have a kind, you will ask someone to stop grandpa from trying." ”

He held the scabbard in his hand and motioned to Song Jizu to go to Yan Ji's side to protect him. Prepare to break out with Mo Kui by yourself.

Luo Pinghai's face was angry, and he gestured to the guards to seal the way out. While walking to the center of the Accord. stared at Meng Yishan fiercely in his eyes, and he was about to make a move.

While the tension was raging, Yan Ji fell into thinking, Zhu Ju's impulsive approach was not normal at all.

Mr. Yan's body was shocked, and he suddenly thought of the key points, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This usually gentle and polite scribe actually stood up from his seat, quickly grabbed to the window on the south side, and pushed it suddenly, and the abrupt movement stunned several people.

Yan Ji leaned down and looked out, and the street in front of the building was empty. The pale blue moonlight illuminates the surrounding houses. In the light and shadow, you can see that there are three or four people in each room. The bow and crossbow in his hand emitted a faint light. The streets on both sides are crowded with people. Quite a few people occupy both sides of the long street. Huayue Tower has been surrounded as tightly as an iron bucket.
