Chapter 106 Samurai Yu

Naturally, a banquet with thousands of people cannot be held in the main hall. This banquet is an open-air feast.On a square in front of Daxing Palace, there are rows of desks. Yue Shan roughly estimated that there should be four to five hundred tables.

When he was about to find his seat with the officials of the Ministry of Rituals, a warrior came over and said, "Viscount Yue, your seat is at the front, please follow me."

"There is a Rolex." Yue Shan replied politely, and then followed the Rolex to the front row under the envious eyes of everyone.

This kind of thing is easy to guess, the more important the occasion, the more important the ranking order is.With the honorable one in front and the humble one in the back, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals had already figured out where each person should be a few months in advance, for fear of making mistakes and causing disputes.

At this kind of state banquet, the prime minister dare not arbitrarily transfer the position of an official, only Li Yuan can.In particular, Lishi came forward to lead the way in person, which confirmed this point.

And more people who were not well-informed finally realized the status of the new Viscount in the emperor's heart.

Yue Shan's new seat is very forward, directly opposite to Li Yuan in the first row.Sitting around were all bigwigs in purple robes, and he was the only one in scarlet robes who was so young, so one could imagine how nervous he was.

Kneeling on the felt restrainedly, with a stiff smile on his face, he greeted the people on the left and right.

The five or sixty-year-old man on his left just let out a soft hum from his nostrils, but he didn't even look at him.

On the contrary, the chubby middle-aged man on his right returned a kind smile, which eased his nervousness a lot.

At this moment, an old voice rang in his ear: "Mr. Ying, how about this old man who has the audacity to want to change places with you?"

Pei Ju?Yue Shan turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw the familiar face with white beard and hair.

"Why did Mr. Pei say that? It's just a matter of sitting down. You can just give me some instructions." The slightly fat middle-aged man smiled and stood up.

Ying Guogong?Yue Shan was stunned for a moment, if he guessed correctly, the title of Wu Zetian's father, Warrior Xun, is Ying Guogong, right?Could this big boss be the father of a generation of Empress Zetian, right?
"Dare to ask, but the samurai Ming Xingong?" Yue Shan also got up and asked.

"It's so-and-so, Viscount Yue knows me?" The warrior Xun was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.

"Ying Guogong assists the sage to build unworldly achievements, and no one in the world knows the king." Yue Shan could probably guess what he was thinking, and probably wanted to get a few comments from himself like Pei Ju.

It's just that he has decided not to play tricks so easily, so naturally he won't talk nonsense.Besides, the most well-known identity of the samurai Xun is the biological father of Emperor Zetian. It cannot be said that your daughter Wu Meiniang will become emperor in the future.

If this is true, it is estimated that both of them will die miserably.

However, the next reaction of the samurai Xun gave him another headache.

"Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know the king? Haha... Viscount Xie Yue, Wu has made a note of this." After speaking, he laughed and went to Pei Ju's seat.

This... At this time, Yue Shan realized that "No one in the world knows the king" is a poem that appeared later.Although this poem alone is not very brilliant, it is equivalent to an evaluation of the samurai Xun at the moment.

What do people seek in life?Everyone's pursuit is different, but what a samurai pursues is fame and fortune.Especially in the case of the prosperity and wealth in hand, what he pursues is more fame.

In history, there was once a month's review, hosted by brothers Xu and Shao, who commented on the scenery of the world.No matter who it is, once it is inscribed, it is worth a hundred times, and it is spread in the world, and it is considered a good talk.

The most well-known one is Xu Shao's comment on Cao Cao: a capable minister who governs the world, and a traitor in troubled times.

Although everyone has different opinions on Yuedan Ping, it has to be admitted that it did have great influence at the time.

With Yue Shan's status as a child of a fairy, his comments are somewhat similar to the Yuedan comments back then. The comments he gave can really make a person famous instantly.Of course, the influence of his words is limited to the capital now.

But in ancient times, being famous in the capital was equivalent to being famous in the world.

Therefore, Yue Shan said that 'no one in the world knows the king' is equivalent to rectifying the name of the samurai.In the future, when people mention him, they will always say, "Is this the Duke of Ying, who knows no one in the world, the warrior Xun?"
Although this evaluation is far inferior to Pei Ju's Turks, but he is a businessman, and his status is already humble and has always been looked down upon by the powerful.It was Xu Xian who married Yang Da's daughter, Wu Zetian's wife, and succeeded in breaking into the aristocratic circle.

Naturally, his pursuit is not as lofty as that of Pei Ju, and he is already very satisfied with saying that no one knows the king.

For this situation, Yue Shan smiled wryly.

Some habits really cannot be changed. You can’t always think about whether it appeared before or after the Tang Dynasty every time you say a word, right?
"Congratulations, Viscount Yue, another prime minister owes you a favor." Pei Ju said jokingly.

"Hey, I made Duke Pei laugh. I just said it casually, but I didn't expect Duke Ying to take it seriously." Yue Shan said helplessly: "Also, just call me Cuilan, Duke Pei."

"Haha...that's what you say when you don't want to listen." Pei Ju laughed and said, "Cui Lan, do you need me to introduce you to the princes of the court?"

"I can't ask for it." Yue Shan said gratefully.

This is to lead the way for him.

It's not that the emperor made you a nobleman, you are a nobleman, you have to break into other people's circles.Not to mention, the samurai Xun is a typical example.

As one of the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou, Ying Guogong, one of the people most trusted by Li Yuan, was still not recognized by the real dignitaries, and he was accepted only after marrying Yang Da's daughter.

Yue Shan's background is not as good as that of the warrior Xun, and it is difficult to join the noble circle without someone to lead the way.

The identity of this guide is not something that ordinary people can assume. For example, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others do not have this qualification.

Only big bosses like Pei Ju and Pei Ji who came from aristocratic backgrounds and achieved great success can do it.

Pei Ju said that he wanted to introduce Yue Shan to a big man in the court, but in fact he used his reputation as a guarantee for him and let him join the noble circle.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a great favor.

What he did was reciprocating, Yue Shan's two comments completely washed away the stains on him, and from then on, no matter who wrote history books, Pei Ju's reputation would not be too bad.

Under Pei Ju's leadership, Yue Shan got to know one big boss after another... Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Tang Jian, Liu Shilong, Liu Zhenghui...

Some he had seen in history books, some were completely unfamiliar, but in this era, they were all big figures standing on the cusp of the storm.

These people have a very friendly attitude towards Yue Shan, and they don't mean to reject him at all.Even the old man sitting on his right who didn't give him a good look just now changed his previous attitude. Although he was not friendly, he was not so cold-eyed.

It was only at this time that Yue Shan knew his name, Xiao Guogong Zhang Pinggao.Li Yuan, one of the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou, served as the leader of the army when Taiyuan raised troops. No wonder he was so arrogant.

After meeting with a group of people, the two came to their seats and sat down. At this moment, Li Yuan came down to the square surrounded by the crowd.
