Chapter 91: Cai Yong's Birthday
A high-pitched exclamation suddenly sounded in the dark and silent Fengyi Palace!
Along with it,
It was a relatively faint but slightly crazy childish voice, which was a little vague at first sound, but if you listened carefully, you could hear that this voice was scolding someone
The palace maids who were woken up by these two voices heard that these two voices were Queen He and Prince Liu Wei, so they all hurriedly dressed and got up with panic on their faces and ran there.
Why the panic?
Because it was his mother and the dead Spirit Emperor Liu Hong who was scolded, that is, his father
In recent days,
The prince Liu Wei suddenly went crazy, either scolding or beating people, and the people in the Fengyi Palace were all worried in their hearts, for fear that one would accidentally anger that guy.
At the beginning, this matter was not known to outsiders, but paper could not contain fire after all.
Three days later, the prince Liu Bian's demonic nature was still unscrupulous, and his unscrupulous affairs in the palace were discussed by the civil and military officials.
As a result, the emperor's throne, which was almost a foregone conclusion, became erratic again, and the call for Liu Xie to be the emperor became more and more intense
But now Lu Yu didn't have time to pay attention to these, and sneaked into the palace for several days in a row, he originally wanted to rest for a while after the completion of the work, but Cai Yan's father Cai Yong's birthday was silent.
Recently, there are too many important things in the imperial city, and few people care about Cai Yong's birthday now, and even some people are likely to forget it after receiving the invitation.
Lu Yu was one of the ones he forgot, so he inadvertently took out the invitation, and when he saw the time marked on it, he didn't miss it
Cai Yong's mansion is located on a quieter street in the Southern District, and there are not many pedestrians passing by, but they are all well-dressed and well-dressed.
There is an air of elegance and elegance in this street, as if it can affect people's hearts, and it is difficult to make any loud noises when walking here.
Today is Cai Yong's birthday, so the door of Cai Yong's mansion is open, and a family member is waiting there yawning, as if to welcome a visitor.
In fact, he was the one who greeted him, but there were a few people today, which made him seem so bored.
Cai Yong was dismissed from his official position by Emperor Ling and exiled because he offended some eunuchs in the imperial city.
However, it didn't take long for him to be recruited back by Emperor Ling, but he didn't restore his official position, just let it go.
Originally, there were rumors recently that Cai Yong was about to return to his original position, but Emperor Ling died suddenly, and I am afraid that only Cai Yong and a few of his friends remember the official position
Therefore, Cai Yong does not have an official position now, which indirectly makes some forces in Luoyang City ignore his birthday.
Only some of Cai Yong's friends and apprentices came to congratulate, in twos and threes, but they also went in early.
This morning
Lu Yu was temporarily summoned by the Empress Dowager Dong, so he came a little late, but it was not too late, at least this little guy was still waiting at the door, which meant that the banquet had not started yet.
did not wear that heavy armor, but was dressed in white, his hair was tied into a ponytail by a jade crown, Lu Yu carried a gift in his hand and handed over the invitation.
The little guy opened it and took a look, and then hurriedly rushed to the mansion and shouted: "Dong Ledong, the commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, has arrived!"
Hearing the little guy's report, there was some commotion inside, and even a few subconscious screams of consternation.
Lu Yu casually handed the gift to the little maid, and without waiting for the little guy to lead the way, he walked towards the house.
There are a lot of Luoyang powers, but there are only a few people who have military power, and Lu Yu is barely one of them, but there are only a thousand people, so this is not a big deal.
The point is that his identity is relatively special.
The prince Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, and the relatives of the Empress Dowager Dong are such a one, and now the situation in Luoyang is uncertain, and it is impossible to say who will be the emperor in the future, but the four-year-old child Liu Xie has a great possibility.
Therefore, Dong Le, the only relative of the Empress Dowager Dong, has unlimited potential
However, most of the people who can come here are old officials who are good friends with Cai Yong, even if they value this young talent more, they will not pay too much attention to it.
Therefore, after Lu Yu came in, they just said hello to each other, and then returned to their previous normal;
Cai Yong, the host of today's birthday banquet, has not yet appeared, and the banquet is not open, so they can only chat first.
There are only two people who are more concerned about Lu Yu's arrival, one is Ma Wencai, who accompanied his father here, who was sitting behind his father's ass and squeezing his eyebrows at Lu Yu.
In addition,
It made Lu Yu feel that he was really not a rival.
That's right, he is the sick man Wei Zhongdao.
Wei Zhongdao, like Ma Wencai, knelt behind an old man's buttocks, and at this time he was glaring at Lu Yu with hatred on his face, and when he saw him coming, he actually coughed a few times
"Sooner or later, cough you to death. Lu Yu just glanced at Wei Zhongdao and turned his head.
In fact, there are not many people in the hall now, and Lu Yu knows even less.
Shangshu Lu Zhi, he has not seen it during the time he has been an official. About fifty years old, a tough body, a loud voice, quite a bold person.
Ma Riyan, Ma Wencai's father, Lu Yu also saw it when he went to find Ma Wencai before, the standard old Confucian dress, and he looked very serious without smiling.
According to Ma Wencai, his father never smiled, which made Lu Yu have to wonder if he had some kind of disease that could cause facial paralysis
In addition to these two people, there is also Huangfu Song, a middle-aged man in the form of a Confucian general.
Wang Yun, a white-haired and majestic old man who is very well-dressed.
Wang Yun was accompanied by his two sons, the eldest son Wang Gai, a person with a similar temperament to his father, but a little immature.
The second son, Wang Jing, the one who handed a small note to Chu'er, didn't forget to say hello when he saw Lu Yu coming.
Other than that, Lu Yu didn't know the others.
In fact, he rarely inquired about the affairs of the court, because he was not very interested in it at all.
If it weren't for the needs of Taiping Dao, he wouldn't have been involved in these complicated things. In his mind, if there was no Taiping Dao, I am afraid that even if he could enter the imperial city in the future, he would only be to kill people.
Although he didn't know anyone, he felt that the old men chatting around him would also bring the topic to Lu Yu's head from time to time, so he didn't feel that he was left out.
It was Wei Zhongdao who kept staring at him, which made him quite uncomfortable.
His eyes were on Wei Zhongdao, and he couldn't help but let this sick man stare at him, and the current situation didn't allow Lu Yu to teach him a lesson casually, so Lu Yu could only endure it
Just as he was thinking about how to clean up the sick seedling after this stubble, a loud laugh came from the back of the hall: "Haha, the old man has been coming late for a long time, so all the friends have been waiting for a long time." ”
