The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 134
Qin's restaurant.

The spring breeze is warm, and today's Qin's restaurant has been taken down.

At a square round table, there were five people sitting, all five handsome young men, while Qin Yun and several servants in the restaurant kept serving food and wine.

"Brother Zhao was appointed Enke Scholars by the Holy Master, congratulations!"

Dou Hao, who was sitting next to Zhao Chengxu, smiled happily, as if he was the Enke Jinshi.

Zhao Chengxu was also very happy, and said with a smile: "This time, I am able to get a Jinshi and rank, all thanks to Liu Weiliu's son-in-law."

As Zhao Chengxu said, Zhao Defang, Lu Mengzheng, and Li Hang next to him all nodded and showed admiration, and then Li Hang smiled and said, "Madam Liu said he was coming, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Wait for the king to send a servant to urge..." Zhao Defang hadn't finished speaking, but laughter came from outside the restaurant: "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

After the voice fell, Liu Wei, Zhang Qixian, Princess Ruyi, and Princess Chaifeng walked in. Today's banquet was set up by Zhao Chengxu and Zhang Qixian to thank Liu Wei, and the others were invited to join, Princess Chaifeng She likes to be lively, and if she usually came here disguised as a man, but now everyone knows that she is a daughter, it would be a little awkward for her to come again, so she forced Princess Ruyi to come here as well.

Today Princess Chaifeng wore a green shirt, which made her figure extremely graceful, and also gave people an indescribably comfortable feeling. After the two of them looked at each other like this, their cheeks blushed involuntarily, and they looked away again and again.

But at this time, Zhao Chengxu laughed again and again: "Brother Liu Concubine and Brother Zhang are late, so they have to be fined three cups first."

"Liu's son-in-law is so good at drinking, three glasses are less, I can see six glasses."

Naturally, the few people didn't really mean to punish Liu Wei, so they sat down one after another after talking and laughing.

After sitting down, Zhao Chengxu picked up the wine glass very seriously: "This glass of wine is for my concubine Liu. If it weren't for Concubine Liu, I'm afraid I'll have to wait another three years before I can get a Jinshi."

At this time, Zhang Qixian also quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "I also offer a toast to Concubine Liu."

Liu Wei picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "You two are polite, the one we should respect most is the Holy One, if the Holy One didn't treat scholars preferentially, how could you get what you want?"

Several people glanced at each other, and quickly understood what Liu Wei meant. Although this matter was the work of Liu Wei, if Zhao Kuangyin hadn't been enlightened, how could he have succeeded?
And the Holy Majesty did this to gain fame, if everyone praised Liu Wei here, what would the Emperor think when he heard it?
"Liu's son-in-law is justified. The Holy Majesty governs the country with literature, which is a blessing for us scholars."

Liu Wei nodded: "My lord benevolence, we scholars naturally have a chance to show our strengths. I heard that brother Lu and brother Li have already been appointed by the official department, but is that so?"

Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang smiled and nodded.

"I have been arranged in the Hanlin Academy."

"I am appointed as the magistrate of Runan County."

After Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang finished talking, Liu Wei smiled: "Brother Lu is the number one scholar in the current discipline, so it is very suitable to be placed in the Imperial Academy. Brother Li was appointed as the county magistrate. After a lot of experience, he will definitely become the leader of the court." pillars."

As Liu Wei said this, Zhao Defang also echoed it again and again. Originally, Zhao Defang didn't have to come for such a thing. Although it was Zhao Chengxu's banquet, he was a prince after all, but thinking that the people present today would have to be in court in the future. Officer, as a prince, he will rely more or less on them in the future, so he came here.

In the court, many friends are easy to handle. As a prince, he naturally understands this truth.

And just after the few of them finished talking about Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang, Zhao Chengxu quickly laughed and said, "Brother Lu and Brother Li have a place to go, but I and Brother Zhang don't know how to be arranged by the Holy One."

After Zhao Chengxu finished speaking, Zhang Qixian's spirit was shaken immediately. He wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but his status was low and it was difficult for him to speak up. Now Zhao Chengxu asked him just to ask everyone's opinions. Isn't he studying hard for many years in order to be able to do something? ?What is the use of being a Jinshi if there is only a Jinshi background and no official positions?

Dou Hao took a sip of wine and said with a nonchalant smile: "Brother Zhao is the current prime minister, it is not easy to arrange a position for you."

Zhao Chengxu smiled: "Although my father is the prime minister, this matter is very fair. Based on my understanding of my father, he should not interfere in my arrangement."

After Zhao Chengxu finished speaking, he turned his attention to Zhao Defang: "Did your lord hear any news from His Majesty?"

Zhao Defang smiled: "We should ask Concubine Liu about this. Concubine Liu proposed Enke Scholars in order to send someone to be an official in Lingnan. It is very likely that the two of you will be assigned to Lingnan."

Speaking of this, Zhao Defang paused for a while, and then continued: "I heard from my father that Pan Mei's army will return to Beijing in a few days. When Pan Mei returns to Beijing, it is time for the two of you to go to Lingnan as officials."

When Zhao Chengxu heard that he was going to a place so far away in Lingnan, his heart sank slightly. He is a noble son and he is used to being blessed. How could he bear to go to a place like Lingnan?
Zhang Qixian was overjoyed after hearing this. His status is low, and he is an Enke Jinshi. It would be a good thing if he could be immediately arranged to be an official in Lingnan. If he can do something in Lingnan, he will not worry about his future A chance to show off your ambitions.

A few people chatted, laughed and drank with their own thoughts like this, but left Chai Feng and Princess Ruyi aside. Princess Ruyi was fine, knowing that she was just a foil today, so she didn't have any thoughts, but Princess Chaifeng ignored everyone. She, as if she were air, couldn't help being very angry, so she took a glass of wine and drank it down.

But she might be drinking too much, so that she choked herself, and she kept coughing, both Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang felt a pain in their hearts, but now they knew that Chai Feng was a woman, and they didn't dare to show too much care.

"Sister Feng, are you okay? Why are girls drinking so much at home?"

Princess Ruyi blamed Chai Feng Shunqi while Liu Wei smiled. He knew exactly what Chai Feng was thinking, but he didn't care about Chai Feng's affairs, because he heard Zhao Defang say that Pan Mei would return to Beijing soon Yes, this made him faintly uneasy.

Before Pan Mei left Beijing, she wanted to kill him. Although it was more than half a year later, he didn't think that Pan Mei would easily forget the revenge of killing her son. is strong.

The people around were still joking and talking, and Liu Wei inserted a sentence or two from time to time, but his heart was no longer here.
-
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day when Pan Mei escorts the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty back to the court.

Earlier in the day, the news of Pan Mei's return to Beijing had spread throughout the capital, and because Pan Mei had won the battle and destroyed the Southern Han, the people in the capital were all cheering, while all the officials in the capital, led by Zhao Kuangyin, gathered in the palace Come to meet Pam Mei.

Liu Wei, King Jin and others entered the palace early in the morning.

About three o'clock, the guards reported that Pan Mei's army had entered the city, and half an hour later, bursts of cheers could already be heard outside the palace.

Pan Mei led the soldiers and the Southern Han monarchs to the palace. At this time, Pan Mei's heart was full of excitement. He led the troops to destroy the Southern Han Dynasty.

When she came to the palace, seeing the emperor and all civil and military officials were welcoming her, Pan Mei was even more pleasantly surprised, she stepped forward and knelt down again and again: "Minister Pan Mei has fulfilled her mission and returned from destroying the Southern Han Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin helped Pan Mei up with his own hands, also with an excited expression on his face: "Pan Aiqing destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty. He is my hero in the Song Dynasty. I have already set up a banquet in the imperial garden to clean up the dust for Pan Aiqing. The soldiers of the three armies outside the city have also died. Send people to reward them with wine and meat."

Pan Mei and Zhao Kuangyin were talking here, and Liu Wei was watching Pan Mei from the sidelines. Pan Mei went to Nanhan, and her skin was darker, but her eyes were more restrained, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. Sometimes Pan Mei would scan Liu Wei's side from time to time, and when Liu Wei looked at him, he could feel a deep hatred, but Liu Wei acted extremely calm, as if he didn't know that Pan Mei knew that it was a homicide Pan Weide.

After the monarchs and ministers recounted the old days, Zhao Kuangyin led all the officials to the palace, and the prisoners of the Southern Han monarchs and ministers were naturally taken in. Liu Wei followed behind, and was suddenly patted from behind. Liu Wei was not surprised, but also Without turning his head, he smiled as he walked: "Brother Cao became more naughty after he went to Lingnan."

Seeing that Liu Wei knew it was him without looking back, Cao Jue, who was still proud later, couldn't help being surprised: "Brother Liu is really amazing, how do you know it's me?"

Liu Wei smiled: "Among all these people, is there anyone who is more boring and bold than Brother Cao and dares to pat me on the shoulder?"

Cao Jue smirked and patted his head: "I've heard about Brother Liu, brother, I wish I could come back right away to see Brother Liu's demeanor."

"See you now?"

"seen."

"Do you have the demeanor that brother Cao said?"

Cao Jue shook his head: "It's the same as when I left."

"Since there is no difference, we are still good brothers, aren't we?"

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Cao Jue couldn't help but get excited. Liu Wei didn't change him in any way because of his fame, like friends and brothers.

"Yes, we are still good friends, good brothers."

"In that case, let's go."

Cao Jue responded, and then walked side by side with Liu Wei, and kept talking about what he encountered when he was fighting in the Southern Han Dynasty. I couldn't help laughing.

It's just that he was so complacent that many words reached the ears of the courtiers of the Southern Han Dynasty. Many of the courtiers of the Southern Han Dynasty were also loyal and martyrs, so when everyone was walking towards the palace, they suddenly stopped.
