Chapter 012 – Rats Eating Food

A light sentence of nothing to do retired from the dynasty.

There is nothing on the temple, the whole dynasty has been a stormy wind and rain. Any individual promotion today is enough to make the capital talk about it for a few months and half a year, but one time when the head is splashed down, it is easy to make people confused. Hundreds of courtiers got up and slowly walked towards the outside of the hall, most of the old men congratulated Huan Wen Huan senior who had been transferred to the Left Servant of Menxia Province, for Tantan Weng’s official promotion of several steps, all can be called joyful and happy, no one is jealous of the eye red. Some of the younger red courtiers flocked to Jin Lanting, brother and brother, very lively, thought Jin Lanting will be in the position of the Prince of Heaven’s near service to polish the position of the living room for a few more years, only to come back to serve as a key position, did not think that a leap to become the legacy of the Song Erfuzi of the National Palace of Justice right priest, which is only thirty years old from the third grade ah, but also when the leader of the tens of thousands of students, a famous the world know, all know Jin Lanting this outsider is destined to be the first time in the world, and the world will not know. Everyone knows that Jin Lanting this outsider is destined to be in the officialdom as if it were a crackerjack, can not help but guess whether it is really the next template of Zhang Shoufu?

Jin Lanting returned the salute to the crowd, speed up the pace, towards the Huan old man and the new left priest of the Yao family head, respectfully bowed to salute, the two old people smiled at the same time to help up the young man is not enough to use the word of the new nobility to describe, the three people in and out of the State Prison, it is the same lineage, invariably the relationship will be close to a few points, in addition to the fact that the Jin Lanting is already a half of Yao Baifeng’s disciples. Out of the temple queue circle, these three people for a core, the other one is Zhang Julu Gu Jiantang Chen Zhi Bao three people, no one dares to come forward to polite pleasantries, and then there is Lu Daolin Lu Baijie brothers and Lu Shengxiang this “three Lu”, after the Ministry of the Army constitutes an interesting scenario of the double Lu double ministers.

Several feudal kings are scattered, occasionally with the Beijing officials talk, but also slapdash, no pain, no gain. After Jiaodong King Zhao Suo found his son Zhao Yi, he glanced back at the white-headed man who was walking alone, and did not go up to say a few words, but when this vassal king, whose power in the two Liao provinces was getting weaker and weaker, cast his eyes, the Beiliang son who wore a sword at his waist gently cupped his fists and bowed his head, and respectfully made a silent salute. Zhao Suo’s face was colorless as he turned his head forward. On the contrary, Zhao Yi, who was also the son of a vassal king but had no name, was a bit stunned, and when he heard his father’s soft cough, he quickly followed. Xu Fengyen walked clear, glanced at the front was surrounded by people Jin Lanting, when he was scared to death of a small county official, now it is really the spring breeze step fast, the promotion of the fast, a few comparable to Zaifu Zhang Julu. For this speculative drilling first-class clever guy, Xu Fengnian did not have half a good feeling, on the beam to remove the ladder, I’m afraid that you want to go down later, it can not come down, only direct fall and fall down.

In addition to Jin Lanting, there is a rebel out of the northern Liang will become a relative of the emperor Yan Jiexi, married a daughter, to get a relative status and the actual temple cabinet university professor, this deal, earn a lot of money. This old man made up for the three halls of the three pavilions in the hole in the pavilion, Huan Wen sealed as the first of the three pavilions of the Wenting Pavilion after the university scholar, when the only thing left is left to the death of Zhang Julu will be sent out of the Palace of Wuying Hall, is still hanging. What’s more, there are family roots close to the northern Liang Yao Baifeng to pull into the capital, to enjoy the high salary, so, the northern Liang civil officials are afraid to be stupid. Xu Fengyen wanted to return to Beiliang this time to go to Yao’s family, try to see if you can “encourage and abduct” Yao’s children to join the urgent need for a large number of middle-level civil servants in Beiliang, in the past, Yao’s family held only with Beiliang eye to eye but killed the shyness not to go to bed, and now it is simply open and clear into the son of God Zhao family bed, Xu Fengyen is also lightweight and save the trouble.

Unconsciously Xu Fengyen fell behind everyone, after crossing the threshold of the hall, stood at the top of the steps and stopped. Seeing the new Huangmenlang’s Yan Ji Ji following his father’s side, several times he wanted to walk back, but gave Yan Jiexi an unobtrusive tug to hold him back. Xu Fengyen smiled, thanks to a sister who will soon be the Crown Princess to support, otherwise, with this boy’s cowardice and mellow goodness, he would have long been eaten by the capital’s aristocratic children.

Xu Fengyen raised his eyes to look, did not see many years did not meet Kong Wuzhi, must be the official rank is still not enough, no seniority to participate in the court. Xu Fengyen a hand on the carved dragon railing, clear this temple on the seven people do not kneel, in fact, most of the credit to themselves, accurately said the emperor sold a great face to Xu Snapdragon, but give the sweet dates later, is a few very sturdy stick service, digging Yao’s corners into the capital in the bag, with the promotion of the Jin Lanting to diaphragm nausea Beilang, as to the Chen Zhi Bao temporarily in charge of the Ministry of War, and will not delay him outside the seal of the king of Shu matter, is nothing more than a Zhao family son of heaven is too green-eyed this person, only to have the icing on the cake of the move, this behavior, just like a man who has worked hard to chase a woman who has long been admired, can not wait to put rouge and water powder and gold hairpin dresses all brain in her body, in order to appear to be their own sincerity. Furthermore, the court can not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because let Chen Zhi Bao take over a barrel of the Ministry of War, both to convince the masses, suppress the group of unruly and unruly officials of the Ministry of War, also counted to the court to the Gu Jiantang have steps to go down, otherwise, even if the feudal title of the Gu Jiantang for the dynasty’s only pillar country, but the Secretary of the Ministry of War, such a deep authority of the position are handed over, if no one to take over the hot potato, that is also still too! Play Gu Jiantang’s face. Historically, the temple counting thing, we have to pay attention to a ring of interlocking.

Xu Fengyen pressed the waist of the Northern Liang knife, said to himself laughing: “Master, no wonder you speak of the temple counting has a sword and a sword two magic treasures, sleeve hidden knife knife, mouth honey belly sword of the sword.”

Xu Fengyen walked down the steps and looked back at the eaves of the main hall, back then three people had sung to each other on the roof. On the square there are several eunuchs coming and going, cleaning the ground, which picked up the lost jade pendant of several careless officials, they saw the last white python clothed man who walked out of the gates of the imperial city, all of them are a little bit afraid, no matter how infamous this person is, after all, it is a sword with the sword of the master of the morning court, it is not these small eunuchs of theirs who can be messed with and make fun of it. What’s more, fools also know that after Chen Zhi Bao left Beiliang, the different clan king Beiliang King fell in the hands of who is also no suspense. After Xu Fengyen walked out of the gate, he saw the bright red python coat that was obviously waiting for him, and many officials deliberately stopped their feet far away, just waiting to see a good show.

Chen Zhi Bao who went to Shu alone, and single-handedly into the capital, the crowd will only feel that the new Secretary of the Ministry of the Army holding even heavier authority, are not abrupt.

Man butcher plus 300,000 iron horsemen can not help Xu Fengyen, the crowd thought that this kid earlier when a leisurely side horse harnessed by the side of a team, everything is over.

After Xu Fengyen approached, the two walked side by side under the root of the wall, Xu Fengyen asked with a soft smile, “Last time you went to Shu, I didn’t have time to see you off, don’t see any offense?”

Chen Zhi Bao said gently, “No harm, in the future when you become the king of Northern Liang, I may not be able to go to observe the ceremony either, no harm done.”

Xu Fengyen laughed it off.

Chen Zhi Bao is no longer white, replaced by the white head of the man next to a white python Chinese dress, the world is unpredictable. Leaving the corner of Beiliang, Chen Zhi Bao, who transformed into a dragon at the first encounter with the wind and rain, blandly said, “If you are good at being the son of Beiliang, do you have the confidence to be good at being the king of Beiliang?”

Xu Fengnian asked in return, “If you can’t do it well, is it difficult for you to do it?”

Chen Zhi Bao turned his head to look at this Bei Liang Seizi, who had not crossed paths much, and smiled, “Your temperament and temperament are indeed like that of a great general.”

Xu Fengnian opened the door and asked, “Will you be the Minister of War for a few years before you go to Shu to be crowned king? Will you still remotely lead the Ministry of War at that time?”

Although it is a life and death enemy, but Chen Zhi Bao is very bright and open, calmly said: “First, the king but not vassal for one or two years, and then vassal to the king and then violate the rule of remotely leading the Ministry of War for one or two years, so you still have a few years to build up strength. However, when I ran out of patience, North Mang almost also want to move south, at that time the back of the enemy, if you have not been able to open the western region, just wait for the great general to save up the family base are consumed. But I can tell you clearly, as long as the Shouye fails and the Xu family has to flee to the west, I will definitely be the first to intercept you. If you die under the plum wine, it’s at least worthy of your identity, better than being attacked and killed by the imperial court in secret.”

Xu Fengnian slid one hand across the city wall and did not speak.

The originally recognized smooth-talking Beiliang Shizi was silent, instead, the perennially unsmiling Chen Zhi Bao spoke more, “I waited for so many years and did not wait for you to die in a crossroads, and I don’t mind waiting for a few more years, waiting for you to die in the general trend of the two dynasties’ rivalry. Beiliang three hundred thousand iron cavalry, should be righteous father’s, is his, I as a former righteous son, not good to fight also dare not rob, but you a even the spring and autumn war have not experienced the character, not how you are good at biding light and keeping the darkness, not how to white wadding outside of the gold and jade in which you can easily get your hands on it. There are many heavenly things under the sky, but unfortunately this one, doesn’t count.”

Xu Fengnian’s fingers touched the slightly cool wall and said calmly, “I will wait for you.”

Chen Zhi Bao smiled gently and turned to leave.

Neither cursed, nor fought, which made the onlookers watching the officials were greatly disappointed, have hastily dispersed, so as not to fall in the eyes of the new Secretary of the Ministry of the Army, to the thoughts of grudges on.

Xu Fengyen continued to walk along the wall, and then met the disguised Princess Sui Zhu, she was here waiting for a rabbit, and then very unsurprisingly out of the mouth ridiculed: “I’m afraid of the goods, the two people standing together, really different, I’m ashamed for you.”

Xu Fengnian said bluntly, “You really can’t change your ways.”

Princess Sui Zhu was furious: “Surname Xu, do you have the ability to say it again?!”

Xu Fenian suddenly pointed his finger to the top of the wall, “Look, there’s another sparrow.”

Princess Sui Zhu walked over and gave Xu Fenian a kick, as a result, it was she herself who suffered the pain. On the way back to the palace, Zhang Huan, a member of the royal family of the deceased East Vietnam, confessed that Beiliang Shizi’s skill is not bad, but Zhao Fengya’s stubbornness to not see the coffin will not shed tears, where is willing to believe.

Xu Fengyen boldly reached out and pinched her delicate nose, covering those starry and playful freckles, and joked, “Now it finally looks better.”

Zhao Fengya opened her teeth and clawed, and after Xu Fengyen let go of her hand, he said, “Don’t use the beauty trick that doesn’t live up to its name on me again and again, I can’t possibly marry you as a son-in-law, do you want to be married into Beiliang as a royal consort?”

Zhao Fengya pooh-poohed and said aggressively, “Look in the mirror and see what you’re like!”

Xu Fengyen narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Be careful of you being married off to Chen Zhi Bao.”

Princess Sui Zhu froze for a moment, then that pair of autumn water eyes overflowed with undisguised fearful panic.

Xu Fengnian turned forward and said, “I was just speaking off the top of my head. But I’ve always been a crow’s mouth.”

Zhao Fengya chased after him and punched Xu Fengyen hard in the back.

Xu Fenian did not react and folded to the carriage bearing.

Princess Sui Zhu gritted her teeth and said, “Did you know that the Qin Tian Supervisor has a six-character prophecy? Rat eats grain! Shu eats cold!”

Xu Fengyen turned his head and laughed, “Then why don’t you hurry up and become the Princess of Shu?”

Zhao Fengya sneered, “Can you really let this happen? Once Chen Zhi Bao becomes a royal relative, even if you become the King of Northern Liang, can you have a good day?”

Xu Fenian blinked and returned to whisper in her ear, “Xu Snapdragon also asked me to send a message to you, in case you are really forced to be sent to Xishu, tell him.”

Princess Sui Zhu unprecedentedly did not argue, followed by blinking, whispered, “Didn’t lie to me?”

Xu Fengnian said in a serious manner, “Of course I lied to you.”

Zhao Fengya almost fainted in anger, yelling to beat you to death, a good piece of elegant and noble white python robe, imprinted with countless footprints dust.

She was disheveled and powerless leaning against the wall, and could only watch that bastard walking away, cursing, “Rats eat grain, eat up you! The King of Shu kills the King of Liang and kills you!”

Unexpectedly that son of a bitch walked out not far, turned around and opened his mouth, delivering three words without sound.

“It’s true.”

Zhao Fengya realized that she had never been so unopposed to the enemy in front of her.

She told herself it was pity for him, who made him go gray at a young age.

And after the white head, it wasn’t ugly, but rather better looking.

Zhao Fengya wrinkled her nose and crouched down along the wall root to fret, wanting to cry some and laugh some.
