Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 116
"The king of the county led the army to the south this time, and going to the banquet was like going to battle. General Pan wore armor and a knife to the banquet. Naturally, he wanted to fight for His Royal Highness. Why not sit next to His Royal Highness? This is the master of the old man. mistake."

Yu Bai laughed dryly, and with just a light word, he took the blame on himself and rounded up the embarrassing situation.

Zhao Dezhao was a little surprised by this move. It's not that this straightforward and stubborn old man is completely incapable of being a human being. His skills are quite good!
After Pan Mei changed seats with that Jinshi, she was very grateful but didn't say much, she just bowed her hand to Zhao Dezhao. Although the seat position is a trivial matter, it is not a trivial matter.

"Your Highness, the seating position is a trivial matter, so what if it is as Your Highness wishes? I have another important matter, and I have to boldly ask Your Highness for advice." Yu Bai and Zhao Dezhao, sitting next to each other, said in a low voice.

Zhao Dezhao's heart skipped a beat. Damn, the first glass of wine came here before he even drank it. He took a sip from the glass and said with a smile, "Gong Yu is an elder in the court. This king has always respected you. What you said It's a big deal, but it refers to your relegation and relocation, Duke Yu?"

Old Yu Bai's face turned red in an instant, but immediately returned to normal, and said in a deep voice, "I don't care about my personal honor, disgrace, and status for a long time. What I worry about is only state affairs."

"Duke Yu, please tell me." Zhao Dezhao really respected him, and put down the wine glass in his hand.

"The matter of sending troops to the south was made possible by His Royal Highness?"

"Yes."

"For military merit?"

"Yes."

"Fang is roughly determined today. It is time to recuperate. The barren land in the South of the Five Ridges is of no use. It is nothing but a waste of people's strength. Your Highness wants to be good at weapons and weapons for his own selfishness. Don't you think it is too much?"

Zhao Dezhao rolled his eyes. You can't even look down on the rich and fertile Pearl River Delta. Do you know how much delicious food is produced in that land?But he was too lazy to argue with Yu Bai, and a soul came directly and asked: "Oh? Then, does Yu Gong hope that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of this king will stay in your Yuezhou, or do you want my father?" What about withdrawing the decree and letting the king withdraw his troops and return to Beijing?"

In the past, it was the old man Yu who wanted to get in the way, and Zhao Dezhao had to argue with him in court, but now he has no interest in bickering with the old man, if he dies of anger on the spot, even if he doesn't have to pay for his life, it won't sound good after all, right? ?

Yu Bai was so choked that he couldn't make a sound, and after a moment of silence, he smiled wryly: "Your Highness just joked, how can you return in vain? This matter is a foregone conclusion, so let's not talk about it. The old man specially invited you to a banquet, not to question His Highness, let alone To embarrass His Highness, I just want to implore His Highness to go to the south to conquer Huairen Shide, and suppress the idea of ​​killing a little bit!"

Zhao Dezhao almost couldn't help but wanted to roll his eyes again. I took tens of thousands of people and ran thousands of miles to Lingnan, just to kill people. You call me Huairen Shide, to suppress the desire to kill?If the coach really thinks this way, he will definitely lose if he doesn't fight.

Even if the battle is over, Zhao Dezhao never intends to be merciful. He has long wanted to clean up Liu Xuan and his eunuch nest. , so what good things can they do to the people?Cut this group of people one by one, absolutely no one will be wronged!

"Yu Gong, this king has respect for you, and I really don't want to deal with it with empty words."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Dezhao gave the most tactful answer he could think of.

"It's the old man who is pedantic." Yu Bai smiled to himself, raised his wine glass to toast: "The old man wishes His Highness a smooth journey, so that the puppet dynasty of the Southern Han Dynasty will follow the wind and follow the wind, and surrender without fighting." The meaning in the words, In fact, it still implies the hope that there will be fewer killings.

Zhao Dezhao didn't answer the words, but just raised his glass and drank it all.

The two of them no longer talked about state affairs, but only talked about polite occasions, and the atmosphere during the banquet became more relaxed, and it finally looked like a bit of a feast.

After several rounds of drinking, some people began to clamor for drinking orders. Drinking orders in this era were as popular as wine table fistfights in later generations. Zhao Dezhao relied on the little original memory remaining in his mind, and he was able to cope with this. Not showing off one's ugliness and suffering a loss;
Although Pan Mei couldn't keep up with the drinking order and was given a few extra drinks, he quickly proposed to try throwing pots. Throwing pots is similar to archery. The literati and poets who accompanied him were naturally not his opponents. At that time, Pan Mei killed all directions, and a warrior seemed to be the most popular among the many literati and poets.

Zhao Dezhao couldn't help being amused by seeing it, but he was also relieved that Pan Mei didn't need to dance a knife during the banquet.

When the wine was half drunk, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed. Because the floor was too narrow, there was no way to display songs and dances, but a few singers were also called to sing a cappella to accompany the wine. Zhao Dezhao was not surprised by this. The banquets of elegant gatherings these years are basically in this tone Son, he was just a little regretful that although the singer's voice was not unpleasant, she couldn't understand what she was singing, and that voice was so shrill and echoing in a narrow place like a pavilion, it really blew my ears!

"Why does Your Highness look unhappy? Could it be that these singers don't sing well and don't suit His Highness's wishes?"

Someone squinted drunkenly, turned his eyes on Zhao Dezhao's face, seemed to see that he was absent-minded, and suddenly spoke to him, it turned out to be the Jinshi Duan Xiu who was forced to change seats with Pan Mei just now, and served as a member of the Ministry of Rites The one with the waiter.

Zhao Dezhao didn't think much about it, he smiled and said: "These women have excellent voices and looks, and their singing is naturally very good. They are not inferior to the popular Qing courtiers in the Tokyo Academy. I think it's because Yuezhou is a beautiful woman. Earth, it is only then that they can cultivate such a wonderful sensuality."

This is extremely polite, and it is enough to give face to the local celebrities present.

But Duan Xiu didn't give up. He stared at Zhao Dezhao with red eyes, and chased and asked: "Since the singer sings very well, I think His Highness thinks the lyrics are not good?" Judging by his virtue, it seems that Zhao Dezhao dared to say no. Well, we will strangle him on the spot.

Zhao Dezhao didn't understand why this guy had to be serious about it, he just thought he had drunk too much, and responded vaguely: "Well, it's probably very good."

"It's probably good, but that's not good enough!" Duan Xiu suddenly slammed the wine table like a dick, and shouted: "Let Duan write a song while drunk to congratulate His Highness .”

Everyone at the banquet, except for Zhao Dezhao and Pan Mei, liked this tune very much. For a while, everyone slapped the table like a dick, and even the singers who sang and served the wine instantly changed their eyes. , showing a look of adoration towards Duan Xiu.

While applauding Duan Xiu, Zhao Dezhao secretly complained: "If you want to show off your fucking ability, you just come here, and no one stops you. What do you mean by arresting me first?"
