Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 110 New Partner

During the banquet, all the ministers and clan members were frightened, and the atmosphere was still not lifted, which was not very interesting.

Gao Lishi noticed that the saint's interest was getting low, so he simply went around behind Xue Bai and whispered a few words.

Zhang Ting has learned lip language for many years. When drinking, he squinted his eyes and peeked at the shape of Gao Lishi's mouth. He guessed that he said "play dominoes after the banquet".

Hearing this, Xue Bai glanced at Yan Zhenqing, as if "the teacher won't let me play cards"; Yan Zhenqing's face was calm and he didn't object.

Zhang Ting's eyes rolled, he got worried, covered his mouth and laughed, his voice was like a silver bell.

"Xue Xiaolang has become very popular in Chang'an recently. Playing dominoes, eating stir-fried vegetables, listening to Xue Ci are popular things, and now you have to add one more thing to read stories?"

Upon hearing this, Li Longji caught the point of his daughter-in-law's words, and asked with a smile, "You also know how to play dominoes?"

"My niece... my daughter-in-law is not good at other things." Zhang Ting paused for a moment, then opened his lips and said, "Only domino skills are unparalleled in the world."

"Oh?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows, and as expected, he became interested, and laughed loudly: "Okay! Women in the prosperous Tang Dynasty should have such ostentatious conceit."

"The sage doesn't believe in the daughter-in-law?" Zhang Ting was dissatisfied, and slightly annoyed.

The woman's smile was like a flower, and although she spoke boldly, Li Longji could not be angry with her, but was very happy.The Zhang family has been kind to him in nurturing him, and Zhang Ting is his beloved niece.

"Haha, believe it or not, just hit it and you'll know."

Zhang Ting was quite proud, put down his wine glass, and said: "Whoever is afraid of others, then hit him!"

Under the table, she patted Li Heng lightly with her palm to comfort him.

Li Heng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that this time Zhang Liangdi saved Donggong.

Compared with Li Linfu who shrank his head all day long, Li Longji was very free and easy, and directly asked the servant to set up a card table on the main hall.

When Li Linfu saw it, he quickly smiled and said, "Saint, the old minister's card skills have improved..."

Li Longji was still rubbing his hands, but when he heard this, his smile dropped a little, and he said lightly: "The right minister is an important minister, so do your job well first."

Hearing this sentence, Li Linfu was shocked again, knowing that this time he really lost most of the saint's trust.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and beating like this from time to time can make people embarrassed, and of course the atmosphere at the banquet is not good.

But there is always no shortage of people with a clear conscience who come to have fun with the saint.

Yang Teng stepped forward without losing the opportunity, and said with a smile: "I have no errands on my side, and my domino skills are getting better and better."

"Hahaha, take a look, Zhuqing, he is complaining about me." Li Longji rubbed his hands and laughed, "Come to the table while you have time today!"

"Follow the order." Yang Li was overjoyed.

At the banquet, all the people once again speculated whether the saint had any intention of saying anything.

The current situation is like a game of cards, and there may be a big change.

At this time there was still the last seat, although Li Niang was worried, she wanted to fight for a chance.

"daughter……"

"Xue plays cards, don't take it." Li Longji said with a smile: "I know that you have devoted yourself to learning recently, but a small gamble will make you feel better, so come on."

~~
Dance and dance again.

At the banquet, the ministers either throw pots, enjoy singing and dancing, or watch cards.

Zhang Ting sat opposite the sage, not timid at all, playing cards with a full posture; Yang Ting was far less imposing than Zhang Ting, not to mention being stuck, wanting to show off, but also to feed the sage, a little flustered.

Li Longji was much more unrestrained, pushing cards casually and criticizing Xue Bai casually.

"Your writing has been terrible recently."

"Yes." Xue Bai played the card directly, and replied: "Usually, whenever I ask the teacher for advice, ask friends to polish it, and if I don't understand, I have to ask Taoist temples, temples and other places, and observe everywhere."

"The writing is dry and hard, without embellishment, and the whole article is full of vernacular. If you say you can't write a good article, but there are often surprising sentences, you must be fooling me?"

"I absolutely dare not."

"Don't you dare? In the past, I did my best to write for the little lady, but when I fall into prison, I feel resentful... touch."

"The sage calm down. After I fell into a coma, I forgot the past, and sometimes those articles and poems came to my mind by itself. It was like a dream, and I really read Mr. Han Yu's articles in my dream."

Li Longji said casually: "What's so strange? I met a goddess in my dream, and opened my mouth to sing "Good Time" after waking up."

Xue Bai remained calm and asked, "My literary talent is one or two geniuses of a saint?"

"Hahahaha, I never treat geniuses badly." Li Longji laughed loudly, "You are too young, and you should settle down."

With this statement, Xue Bai knew that he had a stable background as a Jinshi.

Others voted for bank papers and voted for officials and dignitaries, but he voted for the emperor's story, who would dare to stop him?
He was about to say thank you...

Just at this time, Zhang Ting pushed the card, with red lips, and sang the word "good times" from the saint.

"The bun is more suitable for a palace, the lotus face is tender, and the body is red and fragrant. The eyebrows do not need to be painted openly, and the temples are taught to grow."

"Don't rely on the beauty of the country, marry someone, and have a lover. We were young, so don't miss the good times."

Xue Bai was spoiled, he glanced sideways, and Zhang Ting was also looking at him, his pair of red phoenix eyes were slightly demonstrative.

She sings well, but it depends on who she compares with. Her voice is far inferior to Yang Yuhuan, and her singing style is far inferior to Xu Zhezi.

In the hall, the singing and dancing stopped, and the musicians plucked the strings again, and began to play the songs of the saints, which was a romantic scene.

Looking at the bad cards in his hand, Yang Zhen frowned, not daring to play cards too slowly, so he hastily pushed a card.

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and was about to raise his hand.

"It's stupid." Zhang Ting smiled like a flower, and took the cards from the table first, and said proudly: "There are no monarchs and ministers in the card game, my daughter-in-law is rude."

"Hahaha, I really underestimated you." Li Longji was not annoyed, but became more and more interested.

As far as he is concerned, today's banquet is an interesting time.

Gao Lishi is a very good waiter, leaning over to help the base.

Yang Ting was provoked, and took advantage of this gap to think about not allowing Zhang Ting to step on him to help the East Palace win back the favor of the saint. He rolled his eyes and complained: "The old minister was caught by Zhang Liangdi... just like the old minister's hand." Discussing the salt method was stopped for a long time by His Highness and the right minister."

Pei Kuan raised his head suddenly, applauding Yang Chen's counterattack.

Who would have thought that the banquet was coming to an end, and the real ultimate move was actually launched by Yang Zhen inadvertently.

The picture shows up!

It should be noted that the sage also summoned the prince and the right minister to beat them today. It can be seen that although he is determined to support the third faction, he will not shake their foundation, but only let them be more honest.

Because they haven't really angered the saint yet, and there is only one reason for angering the saint-composition.

In short, it doesn't matter what the others are, what will happen if the crown prince intersects with You?

dead!
Just like at this time, Yang Li only had one meaning in his words, "Eastern Palace and the right minister joined forces to suppress me!"

Li Linfu was so excited that he couldn't help being furious. He cursed Yang Chen for going too far.

The one who was most afraid was Li Heng. With a shake of his hand, most of the fine wine in the cup spilled on the table.

He was extremely wronged because he did not join hands with Li Linfu at all.

Inviting Xue Bai and the three Jinshi to his wedding banquet, he showed that although the East Palace has been suppressed so far, it is still standing up for young righteous people, with the intention of vindicating the Wei Jian case.In other words, the East Palace is still the banner to fight against the treacherous prime minister!
Yang Zhen slandered and framed him.

But what would the saint think?The sage will think that he supports on the surface, but in fact abandons and gives up, isn't it just suppression?

Hun Jun has always been biased!

Li Heng couldn't argue, thousands of words stuck in his throat, but he knew that no saint would believe what he said.

It’s over.

Li Cong also trembled.

He thought that he would have no hope of saving a seat in this life, but now it was as if a wind was blowing a piece of ashes in his heart.

In the ashes, there is Mars!

It should be known that Yang Guifei has no son, he can be her son, even if he is twice her age.

As long as you curry favor with Yang Zhen, you will have a chance.

For a while, the East Palace and the Right Prime Minister were pushed to a dangerous place.

Everyone failed to react.

……

"Huh? Why did Uncle Guo say that?"

Zhang Liangdi was still the first to react.

Her pair of red phoenix eyes turned to the right again, and asked: "Is it because of the marriage between the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the Jingzhao Du family?"

Yang Li was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of this at all, so he couldn't answer.

Zhang Tingdao: "Before I came today, my concubine was still talking about this matter with His Highness. His Highness has always been at odds with the Du family, but someone always pointed out that he had a relationship with the Du family. The right minister said so, and the uncle Guo also said the same, As for discussing the salt method, what does it have to do with His Highness?"

Yang Li and Pei Kuan were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue them, but when they were interrupted, they couldn't understand.

"So it is."

Suddenly, Gao Lishi laughed.

He smiled, like a spring breeze, sweeping away the panic in the palace.

"I'm afraid you don't know, gentlemen?" Gao Lishi said: "Recently, there has been a good story in Chang'an City. I had no choice but to elope to Luoyang, and finally forced Duke Du to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage a few days ago."

"Children love and date each other, in the eyes of caring people, they are friendship." Zhang Ting asked Yang Ting: "Does Uncle Guo say so?"

"I'm not saying..."

"What a good story." Li Longji waved his hand.

The reason why Zhang Ting mentioned this matter was to express his dissatisfaction with Li Linfu's wooing Jingzhao Du's family. At the same time, he reminded the saint that it is common for the crown prince and the right minister to have a common political opinion occasionally. Come.

As long as the siege is resolved, Li Longji naturally knows that Yang Tong is also fighting.

Gao Lishi jokingly said: "This pair of people are following the imperial edict of the saint."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you hear the saying in the words of the sages, 'We were young, so don't miss the good times'? It's really a prosperous time."

Li Longji laughed heartily, pointed at Gao Lishi, and said, "My General Gao, I have General Gao...Everyone has to thank General Gao today."

"The old slave dare not."

At this time, the cards have been laid, and Gao Lishi retired.

Xue Bai smiled, very calm.

He never thought of killing the prince and the right minister today.

Let's put it this way, even if he did, what good would it do him?
There are hundreds of harms but no benefits.

Firstly, he can't pay homage to the prime minister, and secondly, he can't be the crown prince. He will only become the target of public criticism, and become the target that all officials will get rid of.

He didn't even get the qualifications to become an official, and he didn't even have the support of the prince, let alone the real strength of foundation, faction, and military power.

Yang Teng's words are very happy. Can he and Pei Kuan grasp the truth and waste the reserve?
Step by step, using the salt method to search for talents and build strength, this first step has not been taken, and I have already thought about reaching the sky in one step, and I don’t know how to die.

It doesn't matter if Yang Tong dies alone. When the society is in turmoil and the government and the people are in turmoil, how many innocent people will be involved? !
In many cases, the positions of Xue Bai and Gao Lishi are the same.

Gao Lishi has never been from the Eastern Palace. Every time he takes action to protect the Eastern Palace, it is for stability.

Therefore, Gao Lishi didn't care when Xue Bai wrote "Wang Mang was courteous and modest before usurping" in prison.

It is even an exaggeration to say that even if Xue Bai had an affair with Zhang Liangdi, Gao Lishi would have ignored it. How could Donggong have anything to do with him, an eunuch who wholeheartedly served the saint?

In a word, it doesn't matter how you want to beat and scold the prince, it just doesn't work to shake the country by abolishing the reserves.

Those who can protect will do their best to protect, and those who can stabilize the situation will try their best to stabilize. Therefore, Li Longji said, "Everyone has to thank General Gao today."

But at this moment, when Gao Lishi looked at Xue Bai again, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

The most difficult thing is not to harm others. In today's palace, the skill of harming others is stronger than the other.

What really matters?
Know how to measure.

You Xiang and Dong Gong didn't know how to measure, and they overstepped the rules; Yang Zhen just won a little bit, but he got carried away with complacency.

Only Xue Bai, even when the sage invited him to play dominoes, he had to take a look at Yan Zhenqing first.

Gratitude must be repaid, debts must be repaid, respect for teachers, and always remember who you are... These are the qualities most needed by the pillars of the community.

~~
"Bullshit!"

Li Longji suddenly laughed.

After Zhang Ting played three times in a row, Xue Bai quietly played a card, and finally let him play a big one.

"Hahaha, the little girl is always impatient, but she doesn't know that she wins until the end."

"I don't accept it, others put cards for the saint." Zhang Ting said with a smile, "but I am different, I don't ask the saint, I will win!"

She is really suitable for playing this kind of cards.

No matter how well the cards are played, Xue is the second best player at cards, and a crown prince Liangdi who has no desires and desires, dares to win the saint can make the game more interesting.

Sure enough, Li Longji was even more interested.

"Come again, come again!"

"..."

Yan Zhenqing was sitting in the banquet, but she was sighing in her heart.

He sees the unrestrained and unrestrained grandeur of the sage, and he also sees the people fleeing without their homes and being unbearable, but it is difficult to connect these scenes together.

Today, if the son is a middle-of-the-road person, it's fine, but he is extremely smart. The court is played by him in his hands, and no one can restrain him, and no one can even persuade him.

Yan Zhenqing, even a Chang'an county lieutenant, could not persuade him, so he could only resign before the evening drum sounded.

Li Longji was playing cards in high spirits, and actually left Xue Bai, Yang Li, and Zhang Ting to play cards all night in the palace. Li Heng wanted to accompany him, but was driven away by the sage's cold eyes.

Leaving his wife and family in the palace, Li Heng doesn't have to worry about repeating the mistakes of Li Jin.

Zhang Ting is a great beauty, but she is far inferior to Yang Yuhuan's peerless beauty. Although the saint doesn't even care about the laws of nature and human relations, his taste is indeed extremely high.

If it is said that Li Yan missed the position of prince because of his wife, this time Li Heng married a good wife who can stabilize the East Palace.

~~
Jinwu Jing Street, Li Linfu's guard of honor returned to Pingkangfang in the twilight.

Thinking back on this day, he lost his mind and stayed in Yanyue Hall for a long time.

At night, Li Xiu came and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, is it done?"

"I haven't suffered such a serious injury in ten years. Xiangquan almost fell." Li Linfu murmured: "It's rare for the old man to see him wrong..."

Li Xiu was in a cold sweat when he heard that, after thinking about it, he couldn't help sighing: "It would have been better if I had drawn Xue Bai over."

For a moment, Li Linfu was in a daze.

He remained stubborn, and snorted coldly: "The son of the enemy family, it is impossible to win over."

Li Xiu's face became more and more worried, she wanted to talk about small family matters, but she dared not speak up.

Li Linfu murmured as he pondered.

"The daughter of the Zhang family is fierce..."

Donggong got such a powerful help from Zhang Liangdi, the sage must have regretted it, and the prime minister needed to suppress Donggong severely.

For the time being, it is not appropriate to target Yang Chen, Pei Kuan, and Xue Bai too much, but let the sage see that he is still biting the East Palace madly, without slack or selfishness.

Li Linfu then took out the small scroll again.

Behind Li Shi who was crossed out with ink, Pei Kuan hadn't been crossed out yet. Looking back, he temporarily ignored many important ministers who threatened the phase, because now is not the time to deal with personal grievances.

A name came into view.

"Wang Zhongsi."

Li Linfu muttered, picked up a pen, and re-wrote the list, moving Wang Zhongsi's name to the first.

I was beaten by a saint today, and I still have lingering fears, how dare I not try my best?
