Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 41

Although not as bustling and lively as the main hall, the second hall was also full of people, and there were quite a few officials below the fifth rank who came to curry favor with Hou Junji.

The three of Fang Yiai sat at the banquet, and seeing the old doctor shivering from the cold, Li Su immediately poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the old doctor.

"Thank you, young prince." As a result of the hot tea, the old doctor took a few sips, and then said to Fang Yiai: "Why didn't He Bangshou not reveal his identity just now? Leaving Hu Guogong aside, just talking about He Bangshou's reputation in Chang'an City. The housekeeper dare not stop you!"

Seeing that the old doctor had some doubts, Fang Yiai smiled and said softly: "It's not worth the name, isn't it good for the two of us to accompany my wife here?"

Seeing Li Su holding plum blossoms in his hand, Fang Yiai was silent, mistakenly thinking that Li Su was still angry because of what he said in the flower pavilion before, and then said: "My dear brother, the weather is very cold tonight. How about drinking a glass of water and wine to drive away the cold? "

Li Su bowed his head in silence for a while, turned his eyes several times, and finally nodded in agreement with Fang Yiai's proposal, "Okay."

Just as Fang Yiai filled up the water and wine, and was about to drink with the old doctor and Li Su, the conversations of the officials next to her suddenly came from her ears.

"Have you heard that a few days ago, the Turkic thief came to challenge Marshal Qin, but was killed by a young hero with a snap of his fingers!"

"Yeah, I heard that the dog thief is the number one warrior in the Turkic Kingdom, and he once killed a whole pack of wolves on the Daxue Mountain with his bare hands!"

"Hey, he is not only the number one warrior of the Turkic Kingdom, but also a fierce general under the command of the Turkic Generalissimo!"

Knowing that Ashina Turu was a fierce general of the Turkic Kingdom, Fang Yi's doubts in his heart disappeared immediately, and he thought to himself, "No wonder Ashina Turu had a strong murderous aura when he faced the enemy that day. It turns out that he is a Fighters!"

After drinking water and wine, the old doctor's health improved slightly, he snorted coldly, and said passionately: "Hmph, Turkic thief, it's just a dream to challenge me, Tang Tianwei. I don't know who that young hero is."

After sipping the water and wine, Li Su twisted the plum blossom branch in his hand and said, "I heard that the young hero not only killed the number one warrior of the Turkic kingdom overnight, but also killed two Turkic warriors by the way. "

"I think this young man must be a great general in the future. Even the leader of He Bang, who wrote poems on the powder wall of Chang'an wine shop a few days ago, is not as popular as him at this time!"

Hearing the mention of He Bangshou by the officials on the sidelines, the old master and Li Su couldn't help looking at Fang Yi'ai, with a hint of embarrassment appearing on their faces.

Faced with the gossip during the banquet, Fang Yiai didn't even bother to pay attention to it. No matter how they guessed, they would never guess that the talented He Bangshou and the young hero who killed the number one warrior of the Turkic Kingdom with one finger were the same person.

Just as Fang Yiai was drinking and eating vegetables with a smile on her face, with a scream, the fat man who had insulted Fang Yiai in the main hall earlier scrambled into the second hall.

Climbing into the second hall, the fat man quickly turned around, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Grandpa, grandpa, I was wrong!"

"Fat pig, don't you even look at whose mansion this is. How dare you instigate the housekeeper to arrange my elder brother in the second hall? If it wasn't for my father's birthday today, I would have killed you!"

There was a sound of shouting and cursing, and Hou Balin, who looked angry and held a branch, walked slowly into the second hall.

"If my eldest brother runs away in anger, you can wait to dig trenches in the army!" As he said, Hou Balin held up a branch and slapped the fat man who was kneeling and begging for mercy.

Seeing Hou Ba Lin beat up the fat man, all the officials present showed a look of fear, and then they all got up and wanted to salute.

"Sit down!" Seeing the officials standing up and saluting, Hou Balin, who was furious, yelled.After yelling, Hou Balin realized that he was being impolite, and then his complexion sank, and he said softly: "My lords, just drink today. You all didn't see this dead fat pig."

After finishing speaking, Hou Balin held the branch in his hand and slapped the fat man again.

Hou Balin has a big body, and he tried his best under extreme anger. How can a fat man who is a civil servant stand up to such a beating? In desperation, he couldn't help but widen his toad eyes, and quickly searched for Fang Yiai in the banquet. figure.

After finding Fang Yiai, the fat man scrambled and crawled to Fang Yiai's face, then hugged Fang Yiai's back and fought back, crying bitterly, "Master, I don't know Taishan with my eyes. Please help me to tell Young Master Lord please forgive me!"

Seeing Fang Yiai and the three of them, Hou Balin threw the branch aside, and immediately said: "Brother, young prince, master. Why don't you explain your identities to the steward!"

Obviously, Fang Yiai would not say that this was done purely to punish the fat man who was kneeling at his feet at the moment. Seeing that the fat man had already suffered a lot, Fang Yiai smiled slightly and said softly: "Today is Chen Guogong's birthday, I don't want to give up for nothing. bother you."

"Big brother is a big brother, high-spirited!" After finishing speaking, Hou Balin kicked the fat man aside and cursed: "Don't stain my big brother's clothes!"

As soon as Hou Balin said this, Ertang couldn't help bursting into laughter. In the eyes of these officials, commoner clothes were just inferior clothes worn by ordinary people, so they also secretly determined Fang Yiai's identity.

"What are you laughing at?" Hearing the laughter, Hou Balin snorted coldly, and said loudly, "What's wrong with the commoner? Do you know who my elder brother is?"

"He is the number one of the commoner who is famous in Chang'an, what a shame! Hu Guogong's nephew, my sworn brother!"

After revealing Fang Yi'ai's identity in a high-profile manner, before the officials could react, Hou Balin pointed at Li Su and said, "This young prince of the Hejian County King is my classmate and friend!"

What Hou Balin said one after another surprised all the officials present. He Zudao’s name has been widely circulated in Chang’an City for the past few days, and it is even more shocking to the officials present. The top of the commoner list was sitting next to them, and these Beijing officials below the fifth rank all opened their mouths wide, looking like copper toads under a seismograph!
Looking around at the dumbfounded officials in the second hall, Hou Balin snorted arrogantly, then reached out to help the old master, "Brother, young prince, master, please go to the main hall!"

In this way, Fang Yiai and the other four walked out of the second hall slowly under the surprised eyes of everyone, and went to the main hall to have a banquet.

"Oh my god, did I just grin at He Bangshou?"

"Did I just say that the young hero faintly overshadowed the top one?"

"What's the top of the list, what's the top of the list! Why didn't I see it just now, if I had seen it earlier, I would be brave enough to ask the top of the list to mention a word!"

Most of the officials in the Second Hall were from civilian backgrounds, and in their hearts, the famous Jinghua's commoner's position in the list was nothing, obviously overshadowing the young prince of the Hejian Palace.

Slowly came to the main hall, because Hou Balin blatantly beat the fat man during the banquet before, and everyone had already heard the news that He Zudao, the leader of the common clothes, was coming.

Seeing the four of Fang Yiai walking into the main hall at this moment, everyone couldn't help looking at Fang Yiai who was wearing common clothes.

"This is the top of the commoner list? It looks very young. My daughter is about the same age as him."

"I heard that he is Hu Guogong's nephew. I don't know if he is familiar with the young hero who killed the Turkic thief on Wangyuetai."

Seeing the discussion among the crowd, Hou Balin's face flushed with intuition, and then brought Fang Yiai and the three of them to the seat next to Hou Junji, "Brother, sit here."

Fang Yiai and the three met Hou Junji, who was the chief, and then sat down on the second seat that was still vacant.

After sitting at the banquet, Fang Yiai suddenly heard a soft hum, and then a soft voice came into his ears from the side.

"What's the point of the top of the commoner's list? What's the point of seeing it today!"

Hearing the soft words, Fang Yiai immediately looked at the official sitting opposite him at the same table.

Opposite Fang Yiai, a man in his thirties dressed in a brocade robe was looking at Fang Yiai coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Fang Yiai was a little annoyed at the disdainful gaze of the man, but since all the people present were high-ranking officials, Fang Yiai could only hold back.

Seeing that Fang Yiai was silent, the man snorted softly, then stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Hey, I heard that the poem about plum blossoms in Chang'an Winery was written by you?"

Although he was unhappy in his heart, but out of etiquette, he still stood up and returned the gift, "Exactly, it's not enough to make a fool after drinking."

"I heard that the first person on the list created his own "thin gold style", which is naturally extraordinary compared to calligraphy and literature?" The man looked around the crowd, and after saluting Hou Junji, he turned to Fang Yiai and said, "I have followed my teacher For seven years, I think I have learned some superficial things from my mentor, so today I want to ask the leader of the list for a lesson or two?"

Seeing that the man wanted to speak out to test Fang Yiai, everyone was silent during the meeting. He Zudao's reputation has spread so loudly these days that all the important officials present felt a little doubt about He Zudao's true talents. Seeing the man's appearance at this moment, happened to meet the thoughts of everyone present.

Seeing that the man was looking for faults, Fang Yiai felt a little uncomfortable, and then cupped her hands and asked, "But who is your mentor?"

"My mentor is the prime minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling, Duke Liang of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as the man said this, the officials at the meeting cast approving glances. After all, if it comes to talent and learning, Fang Xuanling at this time deserves to be the leader of the officials!
"Pfft!"

But it was precisely these words that attracted the praise and praise of everyone at the banquet, but made Fang Yiai laugh out loud.
