Chapter 16 The Incompetent Prime Minister After I Become a General...

In the palace, the Spring Wind Hall, which was specially used to hold important banquets, was full of officials at this time.The gentle evening breeze in the open-air vast courtyard, mixed with a few peach petals, blows into the gorgeous seats.Some landed on the guests at the banquet, while most fell to the ground.But no one patted the petals that fell on their bodies, not because they cherished flowers like Daiyu, but because their attention was completely focused on the emperor.

Emperor Heng smiled and touched his mustache, then put his hands on his thick thighs, and leaned back on the chair as before.This has become his habitual movement, and there is an indecent slack in the movement, which lacks a lot of the majesty of the emperor, but it makes him comfortable, and Emperor Heng doesn't care anymore.

Emperor Heng picked up his glazed wine glass, raised his hand to offer a toast to the ministers present, and then said: "Haha, dear friends, everyone is here tonight because of the joy of the general's appointment, don't even think about being sober Let’s go back to the mansion, you are allowed to bring your family members so that someone can take you back to the mansion. General Yang, don’t say a few words.” After speaking, he directed the conversation to Yang Baiyan, who was seated first on the lower right.

Yang Boxan didn't show any timidity, and stood up neatly, with a straight posture and a dignified air.The ministers only saw a man in an expensive purple official uniform with a lion pattern on his chest standing up. Just standing there, people couldn't take their eyes off him. The official uniform was worn by the general who just took office. It covered a lot of the evil spirit on the general.

Yang Boxan clasped his fists and bowed to the emperor before turning his attention to the officials at the banquet.Of course, since he took the seat, his eyes have not moved away from one of these officials, and that person is still sitting facing him, and he can see each other when he looks up. The distance between them is only about four meters.That person was none other than Chu Caijue whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Yang Baiyan's eyes were all caught by Yang Gu who was beside him, secretly thinking about his younger brother's thoughts, thinking of Chu Caijue's visit to Yang's family, Jun Ting's brows became more and more wrinkled.When he looked at the prime minister who had dominated the court for many years, his eyes were filled with subtle hostility.

Yang Baiyan's deep voice was heard very clearly by all the ministers: "It is a great honor for Yang Baiyan to be valued by His Majesty, and he will definitely do his best for His Majesty's country. Yang used to fight on the battlefield and is not very familiar with official affairs. In the future, I will be more helpful to my colleagues in the court." After speaking, he toasted everyone and drank it in one gulp.

Yang Boxan's gaze stayed on the opposite side again, and he couldn't help biting his lower lip.I haven't seen him for a few years, but I didn't expect that Chu Caijue's temperament was very different from before.If in the past he was a stereotyped scholar like a glacier in the eyes of outsiders, then now he is a pool of silent backwater after the glacier melts.He was obviously smiling with the officials around him, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

As for Chu Caijue's appearance, it hasn't changed much, it is still elegant and handsome.His gaze stayed on the other party's purple official uniform, which represented a third-rank official and above. Yang Baiyan felt that purple was more suitable for Chu Caijue than blue.

But there is one thing that makes him very uncomfortable. Although he already knew in the army that the current Prime Minister Chu Caijue had already married his fiancée who grew up with him since childhood, Yang Baiyan saw that the person sitting next to Chu Caijue was very beautifully dressed. , There is still a cold look in the eyes.

Yang Gu on the side stretched out his hand and slapped him, facing Yang Boyan's murderous gaze, he said heartily: "Bo Yan, you have done a good job for the Yang family. Now no one dares to underestimate our Yang family who started business. Here we come, brother toast! Fill up the wine."

Yang Baiyan filled himself up, and after drinking with Yang Gu, he said: "I didn't expect that elder brother is a civil servant, and his strength is not small."

Yang Gu laughed again: "Of course, although I am a civil servant, I am also a man."

Although Chu Caijue on the opposite side was chatting and laughing with the officials around him, he was paying attention to Yang Baiyan in his heart. Anyone who was always stared at by others couldn't help but care.Looking at the handsome face of that man, the memory that had been placed in the corner was turned out again. The rich boy he met in the inn left his child when he said he wanted to become stronger.It's really unexpected that the status and status of the two of them are really on the same level when they meet again.

He had expected that if Yang Boxan returned to Beijing, the two of them would no longer be called brothers, that is, he would no longer be able to treat him as a younger brother like before, and would even have to keep a distance, because the emperor hated factional collusion in the court the most.

Yang Baiyan's military exploits in the past few years have been reported to the emperor by the military report. Emperor Heng will discuss with the ministers of the court. It is impossible for Chu Caijue not to know Yang Baiyan's situation. He watched Yang Baiyan climb up step by step. .Today's Yang Boxan, the only one who can tell him what to do, is the current saint.No one else has that qualification.

When he felt Yang Baiyan's gaze, he also felt emotional in his heart. It seems that his position in the other party's heart is still not small, so that he can't look away when he sees him. Maybe it's because of the past.It seems that although Yang Boxan has been fighting outside these few years, his temperament is still good, and he has not forgotten the friendship of those days.Chu Cai felt that the feeling of unfamiliarity with Yang Boxan was much less in his heart.

After Chu Caijue finished the conversation with the ministers beside him, he saw Yang Boxan who was facing him raised his wine glass, raised his chin with a smile and signaled him to drink with him.

Feeling calm, Chu Cai let Qili around him fill his glass, then raised his hand to toast Yang Baiyan, said congratulations, put down his hand, and said no more.Seeing this, Yang Boxan sighed regretfully: "That's all?" Chu Caijue just moved his lips and mouthed something.

Yang Boxan understood it, laughed, and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. After the end, he turned the wine cup upside down, as if showing off.

Chu Caijue maintained a gentleman's demeanor, drinking the wine in the glass slowly and gracefully.

Emperor Heng looked at the two people below who were toasting in the air, and the smile on his face was even wider.One of them is a powerful prime minister, and the other is a great general who has killed countless enemies.If... Emperor Heng tightened his grip on the wine glass.

The dancers and jugglers couldn't take Yang Boxan's gaze away at all. He kept looking at Chu Caijue from the corner of his eye, and occasionally diverted his gaze to Qili who was beside him.Although it is Yang Boxan's celebration banquet that can be relaxed, everyone can only behave in good manners right now, and there cannot be any indecent behavior such as pouring alcohol everywhere.So they ate food in silence, chatted softly, and watched the performance.Yang Boxan felt a lot more relaxed.

This continued until the end of the banquet.Fortunately, it was lunch, and the sky was still bright after the end.As Emperor Heng said, the ministers all drank a lot of wine and went back with the support of their family members. Even Yang Gu was a little confused after drinking.

Yang Boxan had no choice but to put Yang Gu's arm around his neck, and wanted to help him back like this.He nodded to Chu Caijue, then raised his foot to support him and left.

Qili approached Chu Caijue who was standing there with her hands behind her back, and said softly, "Mr. Lord, let's go too." Chu Caijue withdrew his gaze from the distance, turned and left without saying a word.Qili didn't mind either, and followed his footsteps with small steps.

Yang Boxan helped his nominal elder brother into the sedan chair.After sitting on it, he felt a little uncomfortable in his head, probably because of the stamina of the wine.Someone once told him not to drink, but how could he not drink in this world?All men have to drink it.But fortunately, his drinking capacity has been practiced in the military camp, and it is generally impossible to get drunk.Drinking so much like today, it's just a slight headache, nothing serious.

At this moment, Yang Gu looked very uncomfortable, and his mouth began to retch.Seeing him like this, Yang Boxan thought he was about to vomit, so he immediately got up and took a cloth bag and put it next to the opponent's mouth, and began to pat Yang Gu on the back with his hand.As a result, he didn't vomit anything, and passed out in a daze.

Now he is going to Yang Gu's mansion. In fact, this Yang Gu is not as easy-going as he appears on the surface. Since he entered the officialdom, he has suffered a lot and suffered a lot.He was framed by others and hated by the emperor many times.Fortunately, he has already made it through now and has become a third-rank official, so his life has become smoother.

When he was young, it was fine for Yang Gu to be unhappy in his career, but emotionally, Yang Gu was also very unhappy.He has only married one wife in his life so far, but the only wife he ever married was killed and killed a month after marrying him.The murderer turned out to be a servant of Yang Gu's family who had always been at odds with Yang Gu's wife. When he asked the servant why he wanted to kill his mistress, the servant continued to argue until his death.

Therefore, the current Yang Gu is really a loner, and only he and an old servant live in the huge mansion.

Yang Baiyan also entered the lonely courtyard, feeling admiration for Yang Gu spontaneously, what kind of infatuation is this, to endure this kind of loneliness.Presumably Yang Gu's dead wife is underground, so he can't feel at ease.

Bring the drunk Yang Gu into his bedroom, take off his coat, and then put him down on the bed.He ordered the old servant to fetch some hot water, wipe his elder brother's face and hands with his callused hands from holding knives all year round, and left after tidying up.Before leaving, he asked the old servant to make some hangover soup for his master in the pot.

However, just as Yang Boxan turned to leave, Yang Gu opened his eyes without any trace of drunkenness.But Yang Baiyan didn't know this, because he didn't look back at Yang Gu at all.

Yang Boxan went out, and immediately vomited under a big tree. Fortunately, there was not much to drink
