Chapter 78 Little Things at the Banquet
The season of Bailu is here. At this time, it should be the best and most comfortable season of the year. However, Guanzhong is still sultry.
Only after a long rain, the heat will slowly dissipate.
The lord of Lingnan gave two white elephants to the emperor.
The two white elephants are pretty good. When I saw the emperor, I knew that it was magical to bow down and kneel.
Liu Che was very happy and wanted to position the two white elephants as auspicious, only to find that Yun Lang was studying the ears of white elephants like Pu Fan with great interest, which gave up this idea.
Otherwise, what I just said will be made into a joke by Yun Lang.
"The so-called white elephant is actually an elephant with albinism! It's almost no different from the mother-in-law Yang Yangyi who bought cakes."
Sure enough, Yun Lang started talking again.
Contrast the gods in his heart with an old woman with a pale body.
"The white tiger, the white leopard, and the white deer are all almost the same." Cao Xiang pretended to be deep on one side.
Liu Che couldn't help looking at the white tiger in his beast pond, and suddenly felt appetite. As soon as he saw these beautiful beasts, he would think of a greasy white wife.
"Your Majesty Qiong, Yong'an Hou Xinyan is erotic, humiliating the gods for no reason, please ask His Majesty to rule the foreign minister."
Ling Nan Guo Zuoxiang Pei Ren was extremely dissatisfied, and started to perform, hoping that the emperor could teach Yunlang and Cao Xiang who were stern.
Liu Che laughed: "You all claim to be a foreign minister, how do you want me to punish your courtier for your sake?"
Pei Ren's face changed in a short time, and he heard ominous meaning from the emperor's mouth.
He wanted to distinguish a few words, but was surrounded by a group of people from Hongya Temple and went to the banquet to continue drinking.
As the prime minister, Gongsun He naturally raised the toast to congratulate the emperor on having new and rare beasts. Now, his prime minister's main function lies here.
The emperor ’s intention to conquer Lingnan has been issued. The army of Lubode has entered the Lishui along the Xiangshui River, and a large army camp will be established in Xiangjun. The other army will be guarded on the edge of Wuling Mountain in Meishan. When the interest arrived, it would have to go through Yuechengling all the way to expedite the South Vietnamese country. Once the two armies converged in the South Vietnamese country, the destruction of the South Vietnamese country would become a firm fact.
And the emperor's eldest son Liu Yu of the Han Dynasty, after extinguishing the Yelang Kingdom, also looked at the merits of conquering Lingnan.
Therefore, this time, the emperor has made up his mind to destroy the South Vietnamese country and complete the reign of Jinou.
At this moment, no matter what kind of treasures the South Vietnam country offered, it didn't help. The reason why this Pei person was alive was entirely caused by Liu Che's bad taste. He likes to play with his opponent and then swallow it again.
The gifts presented by the South Vietnamese were naturally selected by the emperor first, and then by the nobles such as the queen, Gillian, and Changping, and then the prime ministers, the three princes, the princes, the generals, the captains, and the generals. We pick.
The rest will have officials from Hongya Temple to make treasures and distribute them to other officials as welfare.
Huo went to the hospital to choose a thousand pounds of lacquer. His wife said that there were not many lacquer wares at home.
Cao Xiang chose a bucket of pearls,
Yun Lang chose two pieces of dark wood!
The emperor had always been thinking about Yunlang, and he was very surprised to see that he chose two unsightly pieces of wood.
These two pieces of wood are very thick and cannot be held together by three people. Liu Che knows that the wood sent by the Nanyue people must not be ordinary. However, in the face of pearls, tortoiseshell, tortoiseshell and various Lingnan products, wood is the cheapest after all. Something.
"Why did Yun Qing choose only these two woods?"
Yun Lang arched his hand: "Your Majesty is generous in treating his subjects, and his servants dare to be greedy. Just take one or two whatever you want."
Liu Che naturally didn't believe Yun Lang's fart talks, so it was even an invitation to raise a glass.
Cao Xiang naturally did not believe in Yunlang's words, referring to a bucket of pearls that he took: "Change a piece of wood with you."
Yun Lang whispered, "Ten buckets are almost the same."
Cao Xiang said with a curse: "Then it won't change."
Huanghualimu is not something treasured in Han Dynasty. Yunlang believes that there should be more on Hainan Island.
The Han people do not yet know the value of this thing. It is estimated that it is related to poor living conditions. In the case of eating or being a top priority, wood is of little use except for heating and building a house.
At this time in Guanzhong, people only worry about the mountains being too high, the forests too dense, and too many beasts. No one has any thoughts about how nature will be.
The banquet was very pleasant.
No one, even the most cautious minister, was worried about the defeat of the South Vietnamese parliament.
In the eyes of many people, the reason for conquering South Vietnam was entirely the emperor's desire to serve the merits of the Lingnan soldiers.
The growth of national strength has made everyone full of confidence in Dahan as a country.
Zuoxiang Peiren from the South Vietnamese country sat next to the great Han Junchen, like a lamb surrounded by fierce beasts, his face stiffened with a smile.
It is strange to say that no matter who drinks with him, he will drink a bottle of wine, and the banquet only started half an hour before he can drink no less than ten bottles of wine.
When the emperor feasted on the ministers, the bronze princes were usually used. This thing is very deep, so it contains a lot of wine.
Yun Lang believes that the amount of wine is good, and when he is interested, he can drink seven or eight statues, and he will not be drunk if he has more.
Huo went sick to drink a bottle of wine and glanced at Pei Ren. After drinking a few bottles of wine, he stood up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen used to fight in the Northland in the past. He has never been to the South. Whether he was cut off by Weichen's euphorbia, Weichen wanted to give it a try. "
Liu Che also drank a little, and smiled to Huo Huo, saying: "The northern tigers are not good at boating, and let's see my Jiaolong make contributions."
Huo went sick and heard that he had to sit down and continue to watch Pei Ren drink without a sip.
Yun Lang glanced at Pei's neck and went to Huo to get sick: "The muscles on their necks are loose, not as strong as the Huns' neck.
In the southern part of the country, everything grows so fast that the rice is cooked three times a year, which means the rice is not as tasty as Guanzhong.
Therefore, the bones of the southerners are fragile and they take advantage of large rivers and seas, but they cannot afford to cut with a knife. "
Cao Xiang drunkenly said: "There is no chance to get to Lingnan, unfortunately, I don't know if Lu Bode knows whether they are sensible when they come back, and I want to get the kind of wood you want."
Gongsun Ao sneered with a smile: "You go to Lingnan, and the reputation of my northern army is not humiliated, and the old man is ashamed of you."
Gongsun He saw that Pei Ren's body was shaking like sieve chaff, and his face was pale. He climbed Pei Ren's shoulder and said, "You will only become a prisoner of the order when you return to Lingnan. You might as well stay in Chang'an and avoid traveling for thousands of miles."
Pei Ren stumbled out from behind the short table, thumped, kneeled in front of Liu Che and said: "The rebel thief Zhao Jiande refused to obey the king and tried to resist the Han with a corner of Tiannan.
My people in Lingnan, since we have been servants, we have longed for the arrival of the soldiers, so that our people in Lingnan will be suspended.
Weichen is willing to be the forerunner of the army, lead my people in Lingnan to Wanghua, and kill Zhao's rebellion. "
Liu Che laughed and said: "It seems that the land of Lingnan is not just rebellious, I am very relieved!"
Gongsun He got up and took Pei Ren ’s hand to support him, and patted Pei Ren ’s hand with affection:
You ’re in luck, this time you came to Chang’an and went to the prime minister ’s office with the old man to see how you can All the words you just said become reality. "
Yun Lang looked at Gongsun He and led Pei Ren away like a sheep, and yawned: "Should the banquet be over?"
Huo went to look at the dark sky outside the hall and said sadly: "After dawn, Lubod should launch an offensive ..."
Cao Xiang laughed: "We can't experience every battle."
Huo Goicki glared at Cao Xiang and said, "No ambition!"
Tell me ~ EbookFREE.me ~ stand up and go away.
Having completed the mission to accompany the emperor's acting, there is really no need to drink here.
Yun Lang personally asked Sui Yue to send two pieces of wood to Yun's family. This was when he followed Huo to get sick, and Cao Xiang left Weiyang Palace.
Tonight there is no moon, and the wind also looks cool. After a few steps, the person is sober.
Huo went sick and stopped and said to Yun Lang: "Xie Ning is gone, entrusting his wife and children to us."
Cao Xiang said with a sneer: "Xie Changchuan is finished, and he was not seen at the banquet, nor did he see Wang Wenshu. At this time, it should be that Wang Wenshu is asking him to drink the bar."
Yun Lang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's mind is still too small. When dealing with the case of Xie Changchuan's corruption, you will also deal with the Liu Ling case at the same time."
Huo went sick and irritated a punch on the wall: "Lao Tzu can't wait to get out of the military now ..."
