The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 544

"Chen Zhao paid homage to Qiu Taiwei. Zhao was young and reckless. In order to resist the horse's attack and kill him, he made heavy moves and accidentally knocked Mr. Qiu off the horse. Not only did the Taiwei not blame him, but he treated Zhao like this. His tolerance and generosity made Zhao ashamed. It is a blessing for the whole country to have a Taiwei in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Chen Zhao cupped his hands and said numbly.

His shameless flattery was nothing more than playing the role of a normal Jin Yiwei commander.

No matter how heroic he is, after all, he is an agent of Jin Yiwei. With a knife in the hands of the emperor, without the order of the emperor, he can only do dirty work such as cleaning the streets and presiding over the crackdown. In the capital, it is not considered people on the table.

Besides, Chen Zhao's job is to be a fresh graduate, a scribe, and a Jinshi who will be called out outside the Donghua Gate. Logically speaking, he should have nothing to do with military attachés.

But Qiu Taiwei's words were not without purpose.

What you do is the work of a military officer, so people naturally think that you have developed in this direction.

The knight who just fell to the ground was Qiu Zhongshan's son Qiu Yunfei Qiu Yanei. He was also a guy with a flamboyant personality. He and Feng Ziying, the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang, had always looked down upon each other.

But this guy's equestrian skills are amazing, even in the bustling streets, he can control the horse like flying, so he dared to gallop the horse straight at the gate of Xiafu, just to scare Chen Zhao.

It's just that he didn't succeed in scaring people. His horse was directly sent flying several feet away, and his flesh and bones were broken.

Fortunately, Chen Zhao was merciful, and he just shook him off the horse and fell to his buttocks.

Anyone who knows the goods can see it at a glance.

So when Qiu Zhongshan saw that his son was fine, he just smiled lightly and said, "What are you talking about? If Chen Tongzhi hadn't been so brave and brave just now, Quanzi would have been implicated by the horse, and he might have been in danger of personal injury. With such a frivolous and frivolous temper, he will definitely get into trouble in the future. In a big disaster, Chen Tongzhi killed the horse and released the man, but he saved his life and taught him that there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains." Qiu Zhongshan said calmly.

He is indeed a great captain of Zhou Dynasty!
This acting is really awesome.

Then Qiu Yanei stood up and hid behind his father without saying a word, which was enough to show that his father was not that easy to talk to.

Since Captain Qiu is so magnanimous, Chen Zhao has no choice but to continue to play acting with him... No, let's talk more sincerely.

"Taiwei really stands tall and sees far, unlike the lower officials who are so ignorant, they can only act according to the will of the above, and have no ability to carry forward. Therefore, the admiration of the lower officials for the Taiwei is like a torrential river. The flood of the Yellow River is out of control..."

"Chen Tongzhi is really honest, and Qiu appreciates it very much." Qiu Zhongshan said like a spring breeze.

"It should be like this, you are all relatives of the country, and you should be close to each other!"

Xia Shouzhong who just came out said happily.

Then a bunch of actors laughed, but Yang Feng still had the same indifferent expression. It was obvious that he was a more advanced actor with facial paralysis.

Otherwise, Emperor Xiaode would not be so trusted, and would entrust him with the work involving inside and outside the palace.

Can be mixed in the imperial court, which acting skills are not top-notch?
A group of people entered the mansion together with Xia Shouzhong, and as for the previous events, they pretended that nothing happened.

The work of dragging away the dead horse and clearing the broken wall is naturally handled by the people below, and there is no need for these big shots to worry about it.

Obviously, not only Yang Feng, Chen Zhao, and Qiu Zhongshan visited the Xia Mansion, but also Taining Marquis Chen Ying who was related to the Liguo Mansion, Yongkang Bo Zhang Zhihao, the brother-in-law of the Zhiguo Mansion, and Yunyang Bo, the brother-in-law of Xiu Guogong. Chen Xu.

Of course, there are also some of their generals.

All of them are nobles from generation to generation.

But Chen Zhao just glanced at it and immediately understood the meaning of this banquet.

As expected, these four kings and eight princes have extensive connections and cannot be easily removed by the emperor.

All of you here, your own family is only a middle-class family of the nobles in the capital, but all the officials are above you.

Tongzhi, the commander of Jinyiwei of the third rank, is a high-ranking official in the eyes of ordinary people, and an important minister with real power in the eyes of the group of ignorant prodigal sons and stepwives in Rongguo Mansion, but in the eyes of these people in front of him , is really nothing.

But this banquet was probably not organized by these people to suppress themselves.

Otherwise, there would be no Zhaowu General Yang Feng and his son.

Then I thought about it again. Xia Shouzhong was the supervising eunuch of the Royal Horse Prison, and was naturally a confidant of Emperor Xiaode. He hosted this banquet and invited these important ministers, perhaps to make him understand that the current crackdown must not be excessive, otherwise If we go further, it is very likely to arouse resistance from these people.

Although Emperor Xiaode already had an advantage both in the capital and in the local area, he was not in a hurry.

After all, time is on his side.

He only needs to show his great talents while slowly pulling out the wings of the nobles.

This is called slowing down rather than rushing.

Of course, in the end, it's my own weak foundation, without great achievements, so naturally I can't scare these nobles.

"I heard that Chen Tongzhi served as an inspector in Yangzhou for many years and was a talented man who made "She Laughs in the Bush". I'm afraid he is not good at drinking strong drinks in the north. Why don't Xia Gong give Chen Tongzhi a bottle of Jiangnan apricot blossom brew? , I think Chen Tong Zhipin is very happy." Taining Hou Shizi Chen Yinglang said loudly.

"Hahaha……"

"Yes, Chen Tongzhi will definitely like it."

"Chen Shizi is really understanding."

Everyone laughed, and then looked at Chen Zhao with teasing eyes.

At this time, everyone has sat down in order, various dishes have been served, and the servants are bringing wine.

Chen Zhao glanced at Chen Ying, and suddenly smiled.

He had expected it and had been prepared for it.

He clapped his hands lightly, opened a box beside him, and took out a wine bottle.

After opening the lid, the aroma of wine immediately overflows.

"Very fragrant wine!"

"Strong wine!"

"Sure enough, good wine!"

Everyone sighed.

This is the real Laodaozi Shaju, Erguotou brewed with sorghum.

In this world, Erguotou has not yet been produced, so Chen Zhao arranged for someone to brew it, and after purification, the degree of alcohol is higher than that of Shaodao Erguotou. When the lid is opened, the taste of high-grade grain wine is quite domineering.

Even if Chen Ying hadn't mentioned this, he would have taken the initiative to bring it up.

As long as there is wine, whether it is a reconciliation or a deeper rift, it can be used to attack and retreat.

"Xiaguan didn't drink much when he was in Yangzhou, but after entering the capital, he felt deeply that there were many heroes in the capital, so he thought about brewing this kind of strong wine. Sirs, please!"

Chen Zhao pointed the wine bottle at everyone and said in one fell swoop.

There were many more in the box, and a maid took them. After each person sat down and shared a bottle, he raised his glass and said, "Everyone, for the prosperity of my Zhou Dynasty and the long live of Your Majesty, let's do it!"

Then he drank it down.

Comparing your drinking capacity with everyone?

Who is afraid of who!
The men in the capital are just doing other things, so who would be afraid of whom when drinking?

Even if you drink a lot, can you drink more than so many people present?

I won't get you drunk, and I'll walk backwards when I see you in the future!
Everyone thought in their hearts, and then cheered, ready to drink it all.

How could I suddenly pour it into my mouth...

"Cough cough cough..."

"vomit……"

"Wow wow wow..."

"Huhuhu..."

"What a strong wine!"

Everyone screamed one by one.

Among them, Qiu Zhongshan's son Qiu Yanei, Qiu Yunfei, was the most exaggerated and started coughing.

On the contrary, Qiu Zhongshan poured it down his stomach as if he had found a treasure, slammed the table, and shouted: "Good wine!"

He has actually been on the battlefield and likes to drink this strong drink.

And Xia Shouzhong also let out a long breath after drinking it and said: "This wine is really domineering. After drinking this wine, you will know that Jiangdong's man is also a heroic generation!"

"Gentlemen, who can compete with me in drinking capacity?"

Chen Zhao stood up and said.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Many people couldn't help but looked at each other.

I thought everyone could use wheel fighting to deal with Chen Zhao, but I didn't expect that he would strike first.

But this wine is so high, who dares to compete with him?
After a while, one person behind Yongkang Bo and Zhang Zhihao stood up and said, "I would like to compete with Chen Tongzhi!"

Looking at this man's tall stature, strong physique, and the appearance of a generous and elegiac man in the land of Yanzhao, one can tell that this guy has an excellent capacity for alcohol.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if you don't drink well. A genius like Chen Zhao naturally has a way to get them into the set.

Therefore, seeing the general take the initiative to stand up, Chen Zhao made a rude appearance: "Xiongtai is indeed a bold man, he must be a huge number. I don't know your name, Xiongtai?"

"Xuancheng Colonel Guo Zhenlu," said the man.

Chen Zhao nodded, then lifted the box beside him, put it on the table in front of him, took out a very delicately packaged box from his arms, and opened it, revealing the dazzling diamonds inside.

"This is a diamond, if brother wins, it will all belong to you!"

Chen Zhao showed these diamonds to everyone.

Everyone was immediately moved.

"Good! Good! Good!" Xia Shouzhong laughed and applauded.

At his banquet, if there is such a program, it must be very interesting to talk about, which gives him a lot of face.

If this news gets out, the status of his family's banquet will skyrocket in the honor circle.

As an eunuch who has made enough money and doesn't have to worry about future generations, what else can he pursue besides glory?

So the gambling quickly rose to a very high level.

Not only are musicians playing music, but there are also maids around to pour wine for them.

Soon a small table was filled with two large bowls of wine.

And Chen Zhaohe and Guo Zhenlu stood facing each other, half a foot away from each other, almost facing each other.

It's like two sumo wrestlers facing each other in the arena.

You must know that Yongkangbo led an army to suppress the rebellion two years ago. This Xuancheng school lieutenant, Guo Zhenlu, rose up at that time. He often led a small number of elite soldiers to rush into the enemy army by himself, moving freely and invincibly.In order to improve morale, Yong Kangbo even poured wine for him in front of Wanjun, let him drink heavily and then went into battle to kill the enemy, and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.

"Please!"

Chen Zhao picked up a large bowl containing a bottle of wine and said.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and drank it down like drinking plain water. Of course, this thing is drinking plain water to him.

At his level, not even Yaochi's wine can make him drunk.

But Guo Zhenlu, who was opposite him, couldn’t do it. It was the first time he drank this kind of strong liquor, and he didn’t know how deep it was. He also drank it like Chen Zhao’s. His face turned red in an instant, as if he had been hit by an iron sand palm.

But others were not alert.

Because it is the first time for everyone to drink this kind of wine, and they usually drink it in buckets, this small bottle is only two liters, even if it is strong, it is not a big deal at all, how do they know that the alcohol content of this bottle is almost A bucket of ordinary wine.

"Dry!"

Chen Zhao picked up the second bowl, looked at Guo Zhenlu provocatively, and drank it down.

"Accompany you to the end!"

Guo Zhenlu sneered and didn't take it seriously at all!
So he also picked up the second bowl and drank it down in one gulp, and everyone around him applauded.

Then the third bowl was poured.

"Captain Guo has a lot of talent, but don't force it!"

Chen Zhao looked at Guo Zhenlu after drinking and said.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and drank it with his eyes almost closed.

"Come again!" Chen Zhao's tone was flat, nothing had happened, and he drank another bowl while talking and laughing.

But now, Guo Zhenlu is no longer able to do it.Not only was his whole body trembling, but the hands holding the wine bowl didn't even tremble, they just wobbled like that.

"Guo Zhenlu, can you do it?"

"Lao Guo, you can't boast of your drinking capacity!"

"Lieutenant Guo, follow up, follow up!"

"Is he a man from the capital? Don't lose to Jiang Dong!"

"Old Guo, if you can keep up, the four taels of silver you owe me will be written off!"

Of course, the last one is pure heck, nonsense.

Guo Zhenlu held the bowl and looked at the wine inside. He closed his eyes and was about to put it to his mouth, but then he threw the bowl away, opened his mouth and suddenly sprayed the blood-red wine and food all over his companion, and then collapsed...
