Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

Li Lang's expectation was not bad, the border guards entered the pilgrimage, and wished they could bring the king's capital with them. Although there were many wars on the border, after the army's salary was paid, it was necessary to prepare military supplies and armaments nearby, and it gradually became a county near the station, but the small fight Xiao Nao, how can it compare to Jinling's enchanting beauty, full of tricks?

The place where Xie Kun held the banquet was on the outskirts of Jinling City, where the personal soldiers camped, not the General's Annex not far from the Forbidden Palace.

After Li Lang changed into the imperial military uniform, the group rode towards the outskirts of the city.Zhao Rangyuan also opened his mouth to change his clothes. This scribe's attire followed behind the emperor was really nondescript, but Li Lang only said that he would not get in the way. Zhao Rang had no choice but to follow Li Lang's temper.

When the emperor arrived, Xie Kun led a group of generals to welcome him in front of the gate of Bingyuan. Many of them were first glimpses of the sky. Seeing that the emperor Li Lang was so young, they couldn't help being secretly surprised. Dao Emperor's side is the same as in the army, there must always be some literati and staff, full-time affairs.

There was a lot of speculation, and there were whispers in private, Xie Kun is a very generous man who leads troops, and these soldiers who have been stationed abroad all the year round don't know too many rules, so they whispered to each other.

Zhao Rang saw that many people were sneaking eyes, and knew that he had become the topic of everyone. Although he was prepared, he still felt uncomfortable.When he was seated, he wanted to sit down to the bottom, but Li Lang still refused to let him go easily, so he invited him to the nearest table with a smile on his face, and asked him to drink with Xie Kun on the left and on the right.

Suspicions were even more buzzing in the audience, Zhao Rang could only smile wryly in his heart, Li Lang seemed to feel uncomfortable if he was not pushed to the forefront.

Since the banquet was held in the army, there were no literati, refined scholars, poems, songs, and other spring snows. Not long after the banquet opened, there was indeed a Jinling oiran leading the Yingying and Yanyans, gracefully entering the stage, and facing down like birds in the forest. In the arms of the crowd, there was a time of folk songs and wild tunes, fine wine like a waterfall, and laughter like a tide.

Li Lang is not an emperor who respects the rules of the palace, he has personally led the army into battle, he knows how the soldiers are used to follow the generals, and Xie Kun's command is by no means strict, and he is not displeased with this group of soldiers who guard the border wantonly. , but saw Zhao Rang frowning slightly, showing a little disgust, and was about to speak to him, but was interrupted by a sudden rough voice from the table.

Zhao Rang has long been a companion and has been on pins and needles for a long time. He has a strict nature and strict upbringing since he was a child. He has never liked lewdness and indulgence. How could he not be sincerely disgusted by this gaudy occasion that was approaching brothels?

In addition, most of the people who guarded the north dealt with Di Rong in the north. Over time, customs interoperated, and many Han people's habits were abandoned. In terms of diet, they learned how barbarians drank blood.

At the climax of the banquet, two famous finale dishes were served, one was fire-roasted goose, and the other was live-cut sheep. Xie Kun said with a smile that only the celebration banquet can be eaten so heartily. Jinling has never heard of it being popular, and the emperor probably never had it Good luck.

However, these two dishes made Zhao Rang nauseous. The fire-roasted goose is to cover the goose in an iron cage, force it to drink pepper paste, and grill it directly on the fire. cooked.Live sheep cutting is to cut the meat directly from the shaved sheep, burn it and eat it now. The five sheep that were dragged in were almost exhausted, but they were still alive.Two dishes appeared, and the bloody and ferocious atmosphere was comparable to a slaughterhouse.

After Xie Kun cut two pieces of mutton for Li Lang and roasted them, he personally handed a piece to Zhao Rang. It is optimistic.

The sergeant was a group of upright, tall and strong, full of spirits, pointed at Zhao Rang in a drunken state, and cursed: "You, what's the matter with you man? The emperor... the emperor happily drinks and eats meat , You, just you, feel aggrieved like a bitch! Afraid of blood or death? You bastard, you bastard, get out of this tent!"

While talking, the team swayed to the fire, quickly cut a piece of meat from the sheep, staggered to Zhao Rang, handed the bloody piece of meat, and said with a grinning smile: "Come and eat! If you don't eat it, you're a bitch. Is that, what, cleansed, right!?"

All the generals burst into laughter, Xie Kun was afraid of offending the emperor, so he stood up and reprimanded him, but the emperor who was seated above him laughed loudly, leaned over to Zhao Rang and said, "Jingdu, a rough man is straightforward, do you care or don't care?"

Zhao Rang saw that Li Lang had drunk a lot of wine, but his eyes were abnormally bright like morning stars. He couldn't help but glance at Wei Yixiao, who was always silent behind the emperor, and found that the person had the same expression, so he said to him: "I have no words." It can be considered. Seeing his life, he can't bear to see his death, hear his voice, and can't bear to eat his meat. A gentleman is like a beast. Such a delicacy is delicious, and ministers are not blessed to enjoy it."

Li Lang raised his cup and laughed loudly: "Good Zhao Rang, you scolded me too!"

That team couldn't understand Zhao Rang's polite reply, but when the emperor said that Zhao Rang scolded him, he was overjoyed, and said to Zhao Rang more confidently: "Are you older than the emperor? Even the emperor dares to scold you! Let me deal with you!" !"

The half-drunk man was not sober at all, he was going to forcefully throw the mutton to Zhao Rang, but when he leaned forward, he lost his balance, and stabbed Zhao Rang's face with the meat and knife.

There were screams everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Rang stood up from sitting, stretched out his hand and slapped the knife in the team's foreman's hand, took advantage of the situation to turn the man's whole body half a circle, and used both hands to pull him out of the armpit. He grabbed it and threw it about ten feet away.

That team had been drinking a lot, after Zhao Rang's tossing about, they immediately collapsed and spit out a lot of filth with a "wow".

Xie Kun saw that the trouble was getting worse and worse, and without waiting for Li Lang to speak, he sullenly ordered the visitor to deal with the aftermath. He knelt down to apologize to the emperor. Li Lang smiled and said, "It's okay, this is just to add to the fun."

Hearing Xie Kun was stunned, and then he realized that the emperor was responsible for Zhao Rang himself to teach those who were rude. This not only saved Zhao Rang's face, but also ended everyone's contempt for Zhao Rang, so he dared not offend him lightly.

This little accident didn't seem to stop the emperor's excitement, and in the blink of an eye, there was another chatter and laughter in the big tent.

Xie Kun noticed that Zhao Rang had left the table, and Li Lang didn't ask any more questions. When he related the matter just now, he became more and more worried. , Get rid of Zhao Rang alone.

Besides... Xie Kun watched that Zhao Rang's outspokenness and gentle appearance, but the strength to throw a strong man easily, and how could he get rid of the emperor's trust?

He secretly rejoiced that he didn't follow his father's wishes and set up this "invitation to drive" into a Hongmen banquet. He would kill Zhao Rang first and then play, and let his blood splatter five steps in front of the emperor—Xie Kun stared at Li Lang's unscrupulous drinking , I can't help but suspect that Li Lang has been prepared for a long time, and if he really does it, he is afraid that if he steals the chicken, he will lose the rice.

Of course, Zhao Rang who was outside the tent didn't know that the banquet was originally prepared to take his life. After he drove the drunk man away, he felt extremely depressed.

Although the beginning of autumn has passed, the weather will not turn cold immediately, especially the sun is still high, and the hottest afternoon of the day is to light a fire and barbecue. Zhao Rang really admires the drunken or half-drunk men and women in the tent. No taboo, killing for pleasure, but everyone seems to have the cultivation base of "calm and naturally cool".

He explained the reason to Li Lang, went out of the tent by himself, found a convenient place to solve the problem, and was about to walk back when he ran into Wei Yixiao who was on his way.

"Zhao Jingdu." Wei Yixiao called Zhao Rang, grabbed his arm and pulled him to a place where there was no one behind the tent. Do you want to escape from the palace?"

Zhao Rang was startled suddenly, and then said with a smile: "Leader Wei is joking again, when did the villain offend Leader Wei?"

Leader Wei laughed dryly twice, still not taking his eyes off, and said: "So, you, Zhao Rang, don't mind being imprisoned in the deep palace as a man? The tyrant of Nanyue is also an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, so he doesn't know how to write poems about palace grievances." Is it pathetic enough?"

"What does Chief Wei mean by this?" Zhao Rang was stunned, but his face remained calm, and he fought back, "Aren't you worried that the villain will tell His Majesty what Chief Wei said?"

"I categorically deny it, and you have nothing to prove. But Zhao Jingdu, do you really think that His Majesty regards you as a treasure? His Majesty will soon abolish your hands and feet, make you a concubine, and lock you into the harem. You think, by then , is no different from the walking dead, how many thoughts do you have to live?"

Wei Yixiao sneered and finished speaking, seeing that Zhao Rang still hadn't changed his face, and continued: "You don't believe me? Zhao Jingdu, Your Majesty is not a person who can be difficult for others. Why don't you think about the night when His Majesty came to Jinghua Palace, why did you have to finish it in full view? ?”

This time it was the doubt that hit Zhao Rang's heart, but he still made a smile: "I don't want Chief Wei to know everything about the palace, but who is your majesty's favorite concubine?"

He intentionally spoke frivolously, with a demeanor full of sarcasm, but Wei Yixiao didn't take it seriously, and smiled back meaningfully: "I know. It's you, Zhao Jingdu... After that night, you have become His Majesty's justifiable and recorded concubine, but , the title is missing for the time being, it will be finalized after the official canonization ceremony."

He tried his best to stretch out the shape of his neck which was integrated with his chin and chest, and his frivolous attitude was several times stronger than that of Shicai, "Rong Weichen will reveal a little bit, but His Majesty intends to give you, 'Mrs. Where is the prince's title?"

Zhao Rang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Leader Wei, if everything you said is true, what do you mean? Betrayal and help rebellion?"

When Wei Yixiao heard Zhao Rang say this, he knew that he believed him, but he still had doubts about his purpose, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, it's the opposite. Zhao Jingdu, want to The people you ordered are not limited to the Xie family, but also the virtuous and good generals around His Majesty who are willing to devote themselves to His Majesty. Even you can see His Majesty's extraordinary affection for you. If His Majesty does not want to kill you, you must Keeping you by my side not only made Xie Lian angry and ready to move—why did you come back at this time when you were Xie Kun? Even His Majesty's loyal ministers secretly resented His Majesty's actions. You... stay Being by His Majesty's side will do all kinds of harm to His Majesty."

"Since that's the case," Zhao Rang remained silent this time longer than before, "Why didn't Chief Wei just kill me directly? Wouldn't it be more complete and never trouble again?"

This answer Wei Yixiao is also frank: "Your martial arts are too high, and you don't have the personality to kill you. If you fail to kill you, His Majesty will be alarmed. No one can afford the consequences."

Zhao Rang murmured: "I see."

Wei Yixiao's eyes were burning brightly, and there was no hint of a smile on his splayed lips: "Jingdu, are you going to escape? You don't want to go back to South Vietnam to reunite with your wife and children? As long as you want, I will take care of your sister. Besides, she is even more insecure when you are in the palace, everyone knows that she is your weakness, where can she go freely?"
