Chapter 793: Five Marquis and Ten Uncles
It is not a problem to treat the people of the Tantai family well, and they are quite particular about what they should do, and what is meant by "should"? Unless Ding Kui makes a clear note, there can be a variety of interpretations.
The conversation between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law was quickly interrupted, the first to pull away the horse was Jiang Li, the head of the three elders of the Senate sat at a table, and then there was a table for the Weiguo Gonglongdang, and the seven elders also had a table; the last table to find Ding Kui as a companion was Di Zhen, and the other few at the same table were all unfamiliar faces.
"Come, let me introduce you to the horse, this is Zhenguan Hou Yu Wei, this is Baiwei Bo Cao Rou, this is Wanshou Bo Wang Guan, this is Yi Luo Bo Huan Zhi, this is Ci Zhu Bo Pu Ji, this is Bao Jin Bo Tian Fan, this is Ziliu Bo Gong Wei. Di Zhen introduced the nobles at the same table to Ding Kui one by one.
The counts of the five marquis and ten earls are all named after rare flowers and trees, such as the titles of the six earls present correspond to the hundred-tailed grass, longevity peach, Yiluo flower, ci candle, newspaper violet and purple willow tree, and the four who did not come correspond to Lianzhong orchid, camellia, lycoris flower and Puya grass.
Ding Kui finally saw most of the five marquis and ten uncles, and among the few people present, Di Zhen was the youngest, and the rest ranged from more than forty to more than sixty, no wonder this table was the quietest in the hall, and the original eight people had no communication.
"The Marquis of Tianji didn't come for military affairs, what about the Marquis of Pingbo and the other four counts?" Ding Kui asked Di Zhi quietly.
Di Zhen pointed to a white-haired old man in the distance and said, "No, isn't Pingbohou right there, he is now a guest of honor of the Duke of Beizhen, and it is not uncommon to sit with us." ”
Yu Wei sneered: "Guests, but high-level followers." ”
This Zhenguan Marquis, who was about forty years old, was the youngest except Di Zhen.
"Hehe, it's not easy for Pingbohou, the Xihai uneven Sima family is difficult to recover, compared with those big guys, Beizhen Guogong is the one with the smallest appetite. The eldest Wang Tube spoke.
"We can't take care of other people's affairs, but we are a good son born to protect the country, and the title won by his own ability is about to catch up with us, and if the Cao family wants such a descendant, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams. Cao Rou made no secret of her appreciation for Ding Kui.
"The arrangement of the horse in the Giant Sheep City is very sophisticated, so that a small border city can be upgraded to a first-class city in a few years. "Gong Wei doesn't pay attention to Ding Kui's father, he doesn't pay attention to Ding Kui's wife, and he is most interested in Ding Kui's territory.
"The two Earls have won awards. Ding Kui smiled back.
"Qingxi City of Ziliubo is one of the best cities in Nanmarsh Prefecture. Di Zhen introduced.
"Oh, at the beginning of the next year, when I arrived in Nannuma Prefecture, I hope that Ziliu Bo will mention more. Ding Kui specially raised his glass.
"Ding Shinephew took the risk of sneaking up on Zhenbei Pass, fighting the master knight guarding the pass, and speeding up the end of the crisis in Nannuma Prefecture, uncle, I have to thank you. Your business with foreign countries is booming, and Qingxi City is interested in doing some small business. "Gong Wei is the same age as Ding Qi, and he is an elder in front of Ding Kui.
"Juyang City welcomes Qingxi City to do business, and Ziliubo will give full support to him if he needs anything. "Ding Kui is not afraid of outsiders coming to do business, the more the better.
"Hehe, I'm afraid I don't know what Lao Gong is best at, Qingxi City's specialty is the purple willow tree, which is one of the best coffin materials in the kingdom. Cao Rou smiled.
"When everyone returns to the Eternal Sanctuary, it is not a bad thing to be able to rest in the purple willow coffin. It's rare that Brother Cao is so attentive, Gong asked the craftsman to build a good coffin for you, and sent it to you when the aristocratic conference is over. ”
"Are you cursing me? Cao Rou feigned anger.
The territories of Baiwei Bo and Ziliubo are not far away, one is on the edge of Zhongwangzhou, and the other is on the edge of Nannuma Prefecture, and they are separated by a state border between them.
"Alright, it's a big day for the ponies, don't joke like that. Relying on his eldest age, Wang Guan put on his old qualifications at the banquet, "The horse won't be absent from the aristocratic conference after marriage, right?"
"Of course not, how can the new Zhongyong Uncle be absent from such a grand event. ”
"That's good, what Hou Ye means, we know that he doesn't want to make suggestions to change the rules, we can understand it, but we have to work together to prevent others from making suggestions that are not good for us. Wang Kui tested Ding Kui's position on the Noble Assembly.
"Well, I've been collecting relevant information recently, after all, there is still a month to go, who will make a proposal that is not conducive to the centrists? Ding Kui was vague.
The Senate had many rules governing the nobility, but these were not set in stone, and each assembly of the nobility would discuss those rules that were out of date and needed to be changed. Once the proposed change is approved by a majority of the nobles present, it will become a new rule of the Senate.
"There are more than twenty factions in the Senate, large and small, and except for the faction of the Ten Elders, the number of other factions is equal to that of our centrists, and if we are not united, we will not be qualified to negotiate with the Ten Elders. Yu Wei muttered to himself.
Although he didn't say it to Ding Kui, the meaning of his words was to remind Ding Kui.
"The Battle of the West Sea trapped Tianjihou, Lian Zhongbo, Lachabo, Lycoris and Puyabo, as well as many small and medium-sized nobles, causing them to be unable to attend this aristocratic conference due to various factors, and the number of centrists was the smallest in history. Di Zhen lost his smile as he spoke about it.
The resolution of the Council of Nobles is a vote of the people, and if there are 1,000 people present, and you have to master 501 of them, then your proposal will surely pass.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Pu Ji, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Since we don't need to propose anything, then we can exchange other factions to oppose our disadvantage."
The concubine is a prince, and has a deep relationship with Jiang and Long, and has a good cooperative relationship with the Kong family recently, and has bargaining chips in his hand. ”
Ding Kui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, as long as it is unfavorable to our proposal, I will definitely persuade my father to do his best to stop it." ”
Although the people at this table have different ideas, their interests are the same in many ways. The upcoming assembly of the nobility is a game, a crucial moment for factions with common interests to defend their rights.
The centrists are quite numerous, but they are loosely organized and easily divided and co-opted, and it is certainly possible to unite in the face of a common crisis, but it is difficult to find consensus on proposals that do not have a wide range of casualties, unless there is a strong leader.
Ding Kui can't be this leader, although he has a lot of connections, but his personal prestige is insufficient, and his father is different from protecting the country. The relationship between the son and the father can be used, the prestige of the protector still exists, and the five marquis and ten uncles can lead the centrists.
Made, I didn't have a good time at my wedding banquet, so you people didn't just come to congratulate me.
Ding Kui felt a little aggrieved but there was no way, the big wedding and the noble assembly rushed together, which was not something he could control.
The wedding banquet lasted until about ten o'clock in the evening, and when the horse was going back to the house to take care of the princess in the cave room, Ding Kui took the opportunity to escape from the intriguing palace.
There is also a wedding banquet hosted by Ding Qi in the Protectorate Mansion, and those who are not qualified to participate in the palace wedding banquet will gather here, and Ding Kui will go into the cave room when he comes back to say hello.
The first sentence of Shaodian Luan, who lifted the head cover, was "I'm so tired".
Ding Kui had an idea and said, "I'll help you take care of your body." ”
Shaodian Luan said shyly, "Isn't the little woman supposed to wait for you?"
"Don't be busy, husband and wife should respect each other as guests, I take care of your body, and you will be able to serve me better." Ding Kui started to help Shaodianluan remove the bridal clothes.
The mantra passed down by Shaodian Huan states that you should use the palm of your hand to close to the breast acupoint of the other person's chest, and there should be no clothes separating you. This is the way to clear Shaodian Luan's heart, and it is also the reason why Ding Kui must marry her.
It wasn't until Ding Kui reached out to take off Shaodianluan's underwear that the shy Shaodianluan hugged his hands in front of his chest and said, "Don't worry, let Biya make a basin of hot water first." ”
Ding Kui's finger pressed on Shaodianluan's lips and said, "No need, you will sweat all over, and you will clean it after conditioning." ”
At this time, Shaodian Luan reacted, the groom was not in a hurry to perform the cave room ceremony, but to clear the fire in his body.
She is only eighteen years old, and the affairs of men and women are also learned from Taiyue before the wedding, and when she sees Ding Kui in the cave room, her heart beats wildly, and she can't maintain a normal mind, and the instructions of her ancestors have long been forgotten.
"Oh, oh. She asked Ding Kui to take off his underwear and lie flat on the bed according to the instructions of the ancestors.
Looking at his wife's soft and snow-white skin, the pair of crisp breasts in the bowl, and the two pink convexities, Ding Kui was in a trance, and it was difficult to control the churning essence and blood.
Shaodian Luan closed his eyes and bit his lip, and for a long time he didn't realize Ding Kui's move, he opened his eyes suspiciously, and saw Ding Kui's stupid face, ashamed and angry, and said angrily: "Do you use your eyes to help me regulate my meridians?"
"Don't speak, you're doing this to make it hard for me to calm down. Ding Kui took a deep breath, "It's really not an easy task, even I almost went mad." ”
Shaodian Luan grimaced at her husband and closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Ding Kui tried his best to shake off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and silently recited in his heart: pink skeletons, pink skeletons, there are white bones under the flesh and skin, and you must not covet false appearances.
Later, he simply closed his eyes, his spiritual power first converged in his body, and he rushed to the eleventh meridian that had been opened some time ago.
The foot less yang gallbladder meridian starts from the outer corner of the eye, goes up to the frontal horn, descends to the back of the ear, enters the supraclavicular fossa from the side of the neck, passes through the shoulder, goes straight to the armpit, goes straight to the armpit, along the side of the chest and abdomen, meets the branch vein at the outer corner of the eye at the hip joint, and then goes down the lateral midline of the lower limb, passes through the lateral malleolus, and goes along the dorsum of the foot to the lateral end of the fourth toe of the foot.
It was by opening this meridian that he stepped into the middle stage of the fearless knight, and at the age of twenty-two, his fighting spirit cultivation finally caught up with Ding Qi.
The fighting qi in his body tended to run smoothly, and he stretched out his right palm and slowly pressed it towards Shao Dianluan's right chest.
