There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 142 Rules are meant to be broken
With the arrival of Su Xian and Zhou Jishi, the big tent suddenly became quiet.

Among the people who came one after another, some were holding up their chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and some were raising their glasses to drink. They stopped all movements at the same time, like clay and wood sculptures.

Something felt wrong... Out of "the sensitivity and vigilance of coming to a new place," Su Xian noticed that the atmosphere in the big tent was different.

The military consultant had a cold expression on his face, put down his chopsticks, and turned to glance at the literary officer beside him.

Literature immediately got up and asked loudly:
"Zhou Ji's Office, why did you bring him here?"

"This is the place where we and other officials of the Princess Mansion eat. Outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

"This is a rule, a rule in the princess's house, so Zhou Ji's Office, please take him away!"

"..."

The literary officer's tone was quite polite on the surface, after all, he used the word "please".

But anyone who is not deaf can hear the alienation in his words...

Su Xian frowned slightly when he heard this, so what is the situation now?
He doesn't understand anything when he first comes here?
So, Su Xian turned to look at Zhou Ji's office beside him to see what he would say.

However, I saw that Zhou Ji's hands were rubbing his face fiercely... So, he was so sleepy that his brain was not working well?

Su Xian turned around and glanced at the literary official who was looking proud. Although he was dissatisfied with his driving attitude, it seemed that he was being reasonable... Su Xian looked at Zhou Ji's office again and said:

"Let's go somewhere else."

"Master Su, please relax for now." Zhou Jishi put down the hand rubbing his face and looked at the literature and said:

"This is indeed a place where the officials of the mansion eat. No one is allowed to enter, but Mr. Su is not an ordinary person!"

Next, Zhou Ji Shiling revealed Su Xian’s two major contributions.

Then he pointed out the importance Princess Lanling attached to Su Xian, and finally said:
"So, although Mr. Su is not an official in the mansion, the princess values ​​him far more than we do! If he is not qualified to eat here, who else will?"

"..."

The face of the military consultant suddenly became extremely ugly. Su Xianli's two major achievements were like two sharp swords, both of which were accurately pierced into his body!
In anger, he also stood up and said in a calm tone:

"Zhou Ji's Office, having said that, rules are rules, and these rules were formulated by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself. I am afraid it will be difficult for us and other subordinate officials to break them!"

"This...is called Su Xian, right? You are indeed very powerful, very powerful...but, since you are not an official in the mansion, you cannot eat here!"

"..."

The tent became quiet.

Su Xian had just arrived, with an attitude of trying to calm things down, and they were not taking the matter seriously... So he pulled the sleeves of Zhou Ji's office and whispered:

"Let's go."

Zhou Ji's office looked back at him, and the look in his dark eyes seemed to say: "No, don't I, Zhou Ji's Office, not want to lose face?"

Seeing this, Su Xian frowned secretly, thinking:

"As expected, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes... In this case, it is hard for me to choose to settle the matter, otherwise I will not be able to gain a foothold in front of Princess Lanling."

At this time, the gray-haired Sima spoke up.

He first looked at the consultative military officer and said with a smile: "What the consultee said is good. Rules are rules. They are not easy to break, let alone easy to break."

In the princess's mansion, apart from "Wang Fu", who has the highest rank, the following is Chang Shi, whose deputy is Sima.

This time Princess Lanling went to Youzhou, and she only took Sima with her, but not Chang Shi. Therefore, all the subordinate officials were led by Sima.

After Sima said the words "Rules are rules," the military consultant was immediately elated. Sima actually stood on his side... This was an unexpected surprise.

However, before he had time to say thank you, he saw Sima turning his head to look at Zhou Jishi and Su Xian, and said with a smile:
"Having said that, Mr. Su is already here, so why not just stay and have dinner together!"

what?
The military counselor's face suddenly stiffened. He thought Sima was on his side just now, but he said such words again... This made him feel uncomfortable.

"Thank you Wang Sima!"

Thank you, Zhou Ji Office.

He pulled Su Xian and was about to sit down at the table when he suddenly shouted loudly:

"no!"

These two words clearly contained anger, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the big tent.

But he didn't care, and continued to shout:

"Rules are rules, don't break them!"

"Su Xian has a low status and is just a white man. How can he sit with me at the same table?"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the literary officer immediately took over:

"Little white face!"

"Don't think that just because you have made great achievements, you can act arbitrarily in front of me. As long as you are an idiot, you will not be able to eat here!"

"Still get out?"

"..."

The words "Literary" made everyone's expressions change suddenly.

Everyone couldn't understand why he was so excited.
He actually said "little pretty face" when he spoke and "get out" when he shut up?This is not giving any face at all!
Su Xian is the one who made two major contributions...

Then, everyone unanimously looked at the Consultation Officer for Military Affairs, then looked at the Literary Officer, and silently commented in their hearts:

"The literary officer is just a spear for consultation, or a spear lacking brains..."

"..."

Zhou Jishi's expression was very ugly. If in the past, his rank was lower than that of the Literary Officer, he would not have conflicted with him, but it is different now!
I saw him saying seriously:

"It is indeed a rule that non-officials of the princess's palace cannot eat here. But Wang Sima has already invited us, so this rule no longer exists!"

After hearing this, Su Xian couldn't help but feel enlightened.

Then he saw Sima, Wang You, the chief secretary and other subordinate officials nodding slowly, and he knew in his heart that what Zhou Jishi said was true.

Then, the disadvantage of being unreasonable is gone!

After thinking about this, Su Xian took a step forward and bowed to the gray-haired Sima: "Then thank you Wang Sima for the kind invitation!"

Sima's surname is Wang. This is what Zhou Ji's Office told him.

At the same time, Zhou Jishi also talked about the natural contradiction between Su Xian and consultation and literature, and said that this contradiction could not be reconciled at all.

This was also the reason why Su Xian had a calming mentality at first, because when he first arrived, his first priority was to establish a firm foothold, not to cause conflicts with others.

But when people are in the arena, they can’t help themselves...

So, after Su Xian bowed and stood up, he turned his head and glanced provocatively at the military and literary council officers.

Now that you have entered the arena, let's take the initiative.

The Consultative Councilor was furious, but he still had a sense of security. He quickly calmed down and glanced sideways at his younger brother, the Literary Officer.

The literary officer was indeed impulsive and shouted loudly:
"you dare!"

"You are just an idiot. According to the rules, you are not allowed to eat here! Get out of here!"

"..."

Hearing this, Wang Sima's complexion suddenly changed, his two gray eyebrows twitched, and he slowly looked sideways at the literary officer... When, as Sima, he couldn't speak well?
However, before Wang Sima could speak, everyone saw Su Xian step forward and said loudly:
"I really dared to do so today!"

"I'll eat here, what can you do to me?"

"..."

The literary officer's face was full of anger and he was about to roar, but Su Xian spoke first:
"If you have the ability, go and save Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"If you have the ability, go and capture a secret envoy from the Liao Kingdom!"

"If you can't, please shut up!"

"Tonight, I have to eat here..."

"..."

Su Xian's words were like thunder, which shocked everyone in the tent speechless and dumbfounded.

After all, he is a young man, and he is domineering... Wang Sima nodded slowly.

It turns out Mr. Su still has this side... Zhou Jishi rubbed his face, feeling incredible.

As for the two people who consulted on military affairs and literature, they felt even more depressed——

They were showing official authority, while Su Xian was showing off his power.

Then Su Xian "gave" the credit, and they were at a loss.

It’s impossible to refute these two merits, right?

The credit for capturing the Liao envoy was good, but it was just the first one, the one that rescued Her Royal Highness, that they didn't even dare to talk about, let alone refute.

At the same time, Wang Sima, Zhou Jishi and others also kept the matter secret...
