Chapter 45: Two Blossoms
In the evening, Qin Mu and Xiaoqing, who changed into men's clothes, came to Tianxian Tower.
Qin Mu looked at Xiaoqing, who was a little nervous beside him, and quipped: "Don't be afraid, if you have a crush on any sister, I will pay for you to open a private room." ”
"Hmph, Brother Qin!" Xiaoqing slapped Qin Mu.
"Alright, alright, you'll follow me then, and if you're hungry, eat first, don't care what they say."
The bustard in the store immediately ran over when he saw Qin Mu.
"Hey, isn't this Qin Langjun, if you haven't come for so long, our store has been overshadowed."
"Hey, don't you think I have one?" Qin Mu teased.
Xiaoqing looked puzzled, how could Qin Mu even tease an aunt who was dozens of years old.
"Come, come, wait."
The bustard led them to the Tianzi room on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the door, Qin Mu saw five people sitting on the table, and after seeing Qin Mu, an old man with white temples and a charitable face stood up and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Shopkeeper Qin, you can be counted as coming, come on, let me introduce you, this is the shopkeeper Wang of Luoyang's largest cloth workshop, this is the shopkeeper of the porcelain family Li, this is the shopkeeper of our largest pawnshop in Luoyang, and this is the shopkeeper of Wanmin Rice Shop."
"Fortunately, fortunately." Qin Mu saluted.
"What about you, President Liu?"
The old man stroked his beard, beckoned Qin Mu to sit down and said, "I'm a spice maker." He looked at Xiaoqing, "Who is this?" ”
"This is my secretary."
The old man smiled and nodded and picked up the wine glass, "Come, let's welcome Shopkeeper Qin." ”
Qin Mu picked up his wine glass, "Seniors, I, the junior, will toast first." ”
Qin Mu drank down.
The others nodded approvingly.
Liu Changqing put down his wine glass and said: "Shopkeeper Qin is really a young talent, I heard that you are from Chang'an, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter where I'm from, it's what I can bring to you, right?"
"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Qin is refreshing."
"The wine can't be disappointed, and this food can't be disappointed, I haven't eaten a busy day today, and my little brother hasn't even eaten breakfast..."
"Then let's eat." Liu Changqing greeted.
Several people glanced at each other and felt that Qin Mu was a fledgling young man who didn't even know basic wine table etiquette.
Qin Mu picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Xiaoqing, "You're welcome." ”
In the Ming Hall of Ziwei City, Wu Houwei sat in the middle of the main hall on the first floor, and on every table below sat the kings from all over the world.
The silence in the Ming Hall is terrible, they have no appetite, Li Chong and Li Zhen are all aware of the fate, this banquet is clearly the Hongmen Banquet, if the Empress Wu is unhappy, it is not impossible to kill them all.
"I asked you to come here today, just to get together and meet you, we haven't eaten together for a long time since the first emperor went to the immortals." Empress Wu said slowly.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, under your governance, now that my Tang Dynasty is prosperous, we are all protected as kings everywhere, thank Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother for your hospitality." Han Wang Li Yuanjia said.
Here he is the oldest, a few years older than the Queen Mother.
The other kings followed him, each expressing their loyalty.
"Okay, let's get together and have a drink together." Empress Wu's eyes looked at Li Yuanjia and gradually became murderous.
There was no singing and dancing at this banquet, only the sound of cups colliding, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Empress Wu stared at Li Yuanjia and asked, "I heard some people in the court say that you have a good relationship with Li Zhen, and you often have dinner and play, Uncle Huang, is there such a thing?" ”
Li Yuanjia's face changed slightly and he smiled: "It's true, but we're just having dinner and chatting and drinking, Li Zhen came to visit the minister as a junior, and the minister couldn't refute the face." ”
"Uncle Huang, I naturally believe in you, I have a Shangshu here, and I want to hear your opinion."
Shangguan Wan'er, who was beside Empress Wu, took a document and handed it to Li Yuanjia.
Li Yuanjia looked at the watch and didn't dare to open it for a while, "Your Royal Highness the Queen Mother, I'm used to being idle, and I can't give any advice on these, so it's better to let others take a look." ”
The other kings immediately politely refused.
"King Han has the highest seniority, and our juniors will listen to you."
"Yes, Grandpa Huang, we all listen to you."
…
…
Li Yuanjia swallowed his saliva, opened the recital table with trepidation, and looked at the back of the iron.
"This ...... This is full of nonsense! Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, Li Zhen and I have nothing to do with it! Wronged! My loyalty to Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother can be learned from heaven and earth! ”
Empress Wu looked at Li Yuanjia with sharp eyes, "Oh, you want evidence, right, come on!" ”
At this time, an official in a blue robe came to the middle of the main hall with a letter.
"Come to Junchen, you read it to everyone." Empress Wu commanded.
Lai Junchen read aloud the contents of the letter, it was the document that Li Zhen wrote to him asking for support for the cavalry, and all the kings present had received such a letter, and they knew that the Empress Wu was killing chickens and monkeys to show them.
Li Yuanjia stood up angrily and pointed at Lai Junchen and scolded, "You are a traitor, you know the whistleblower all day long, do you know who I am!" ”
Lai Junchen raised his eyebrows and looked at him with an expression of what can you do with me.
"Uncle Huang, you said it had nothing to do with Li Zhen, why did he write you a distress letter?"
Li Yuanjia knew that he couldn't defend himself, so he rolled up his sleeves, "Hahahaha, Wu Meiniang!" You demon queen who stole the throne, you should have been buried with Emperor Taizong when he died! Seduce the old and seduce the young, you're so fucking shameless! Slut! Whore!
You tyrannical queen, you are a woman who controls the court, and it is against the principles of heaven! You use your power to kill people and persecute the innocent, and your unrighteous deeds will eventually be punished by God! ”
Empress Wu just watched quietly and didn't refute anything, Li Yuanjia is angry now, if she answers, she will fall into the handle.
Li Yuanjia saw that Empress Wu did not react and then scolded: "Why do you wantonly govern the government in the name of the queen and decide life and death? History will remember your crimes, and future generations will spit on your cruelty! ”
The atmosphere in the main hall was tense to the extreme, and the guests in the banquet hall were dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to make a sound in the face of Li Yuanjia's angry words and Wu Zetian's might.
Suddenly, Li Yuanjia had tears in his eyes, and his voice was full of anger, "I think I have only been in the Tang Dynasty for more than 70 years, I am proud of it, and now I am a villain, and I am panicking when I tell the truth, you demon queen have to destroy the country that your ancestors have beaten down to be happy!" ”
Li Yuanjia took a deep breath, his expression gradually calmed down, and then he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Wu Meiniang, you are also over sixty years old this year, right?" I'm here to see how many years you can laugh! ”
Empress Wu waved her hand ruthlessly, "Uncle Huang, I don't think you can see that day." ”
At this moment, two guards approached him and tried to capture him.
"Get out of the way!" He walked out with his hands behind his back and vigorously.
On the way to go, he glanced at the other kings from time to time, as if telling them not to act rashly, Li Tang Jiangshan still had to rely on them to prosper.
On the other side, in the Tianxian Building, Qin Mu was half paralyzed on the stool after eating and drinking.
Liu Changqing called the old bustard and found a few singers to accompany the wine.
"Get your little lady Ruoqin."
The old bustard's face was embarrassed, "If the qin is infected with the wind cold and can't pick up customers, or I'll find you something else." ”
"Huh? What's the big deal with the wind and cold, if the little lady is deeply favored by the shopkeeper Qin, it is her blessing. ”
"This really doesn't work, Ruoqin can't get out of bed, can't walk."
Qin Mu immediately sat up and asked, "Infected with wind cold?" I've got medicine! ”
The old bustard hurriedly changed the topic, "I will find you all the things that we have to do with the singers of Tianxian Tower, you can pick whatever you want." ”
Qin Mu noticed that something was wrong, "I don't think I need to, you go out first." ”
Liu Changqing's face was full of questions, "This is not good." ”
"Let's get down to business."
