Jia Rong, who was bowing and saluting, naturally did not notice this. After Cai Yong and Wang Yun chatted for a few words, Wang Yun walked towards the house. People kept saying hello and hello along the way, and Wang Yun also responded happily one by one.
At the banquet, Cai Yong, as the host, naturally had to accept frequent toasts from everyone.
Literati in ancient times really liked drinking, but they did not constantly look for excuses for drinking like modern people. They would not refuse anyone who came, which was the way the ancients drank. What made Jia Rong even more embarrassed was that they often drank because of someone's poem or something.
I drank several drinks in one sentence.
Cai Yong let out a wine burp and said with a red face: "Everyone can come to Cai Mansion and enjoy the glory. Please don't be polite, just drink! Although Cai Mansion is simple, the wine for you is still enough!"
As the nominal host, Cai Yong was obviously very happy. This honor was something that many Han officials could only dream of.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Han Dynasty called it the Festival of Lanterns. It was one of the most important festivals of the Han Dynasty. It stands to reason that the Han emperor would host a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers to show that the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the country was stable. In the past ten years of the Han Dynasty, the country had been in a state of war.
After losing countless money and food, the national strength was exhausted. For ten consecutive years, the Han Emperor rarely held banquets in the palace. After the Yellow Turban victory, the Han Emperor held banquets in the palace to entertain hundreds of officials.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty did not hold a banquet, but it was not a problem for the literati of the Han Dynasty. What the literati pursued was romance. Last year, all the literati gathered at Situ Wangyun's house. In comparison, the generals were a bit too honest. Unless the Emperor of the Han Dynasty set up
Banquets, otherwise generals rarely get together. There is no way, who let the literati be the mainstream figures in today's Han Dynasty? If you accidentally let the truth slip, you still expect those big bosses who only know how to hum and haha on the battlefield to argue with these literati in the court.
.
The Cai Mansion looks simple, but in fact it is extremely spacious. It is no problem to entertain dozens of people at one time.
Jia Rong is an awkward existence, but he is happy to be free, sitting in the corner, drinking alone.
A young man from an aristocratic family took advantage of his drunkenness and pointed at Jia Rong in the corner and said: "This man is obviously a military general and a vulgar warrior. How can he be in the same room with people like us? I guess he sneaked in." Jia Rong.
His face changed, and seeing the arrogant expression on the face of this young man from aristocratic families, Jia Rong resisted the urge to go up and beat him, and the wine cup in his hand creaked.
Cai Yong's face was very ugly. Everyone who could come here to drink was invited by Cai Yong, and Jia Rong was also taken by Cai Yong to greet the guests. This son of the aristocratic family said this, just to slap Cai Yong in the face again.
"Yuan Gongli, don't be rude!" Cai Yong scolded.
"It turns out that he is Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongli. It is understandable that he would do such a stupid thing." Jia Rong thought secretly.
A young man from an aristocratic family next to Yuan Jiujiu said to him softly: "Giujiu is right. How can such a martial artist drink with us? This lowers our status."
Yuan Gongli seemed to be greatly encouraged. He nodded excitedly and raised his voice and said, "It's wrong for everyone in Cai to say that. Dealing with vulgar martial artists is a disguised way of lowering the status of a scholar. What do you think?" Yuan Shu asked provocatively.
He glanced at Jia Rong.
The entire banquet suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Cai Yong. When something like this happened, Cai Yong was the host who bore the brunt.
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu sharply, stood up angrily and yelled: "Yuan Gongli must not be rude!"
Seeing that it was Cao Cao who spoke, Yuan Shu shrank in fear. Cao Cao was Yuan Shu's friend since childhood. Yuan Shu still feels a little numb when he thinks of Cao Cao's endless methods of teasing people.
Yuan Jiujiu's series of reactions before and after naturally did not escape Jia Rong's eyes, and he shook his head gently. This Yuan Jiujiu is worthy of the name of stupidity. He is so excited after being used as a gunman by others. It seems that this matter must be done today.
One of the explanations was that either Yuan Gongguo in front of him retreated angrily, or Jia Rong fled in despair. Seeing Cao Cao stand up openly to refute Yuan Shu, he couldn't help but cast approving glances.
In the beginning, Jia Rong still had sympathy for Yuan Jiujiu. After all, he and his fiancée Wei Fu had something to do with each other. But now, this sympathy has disappeared because of Yuan Jiujiu's repeated provocations. He looked at Yuan Shu.
It is also becoming more and more fierce.
Yuan Shu felt a little uncomfortable when Jia Rong saw him, and shouted like a demonstration: "What's wrong, you vulgar martial artist, am I wrong?"
Even everyone present felt that Yuan Shu had gone too far. If he repeatedly said that in front of a general, he was actually vulgar, and I am afraid that he would immediately get angry.
Jia Rong didn't take Yuan Shu seriously at all. He picked up the wine cup on the table, poured it into his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, and tasted it carefully. His purpose was to completely anger Yuan Shu and make everyone present.
I think Yuan Shu went too far.
Yuan Shu suddenly became angry. Even some officials of the Han Dynasty were usually polite when seeing Yuan Shu, but Jia Rong's behavior clearly showed that he did not take himself seriously. He said angrily: "A common man is a common man! It is difficult to reach the palace of elegance!"
Cai Yong's face became more and more ugly, and he turned his attention to an old man beside Yuan Shu. Seeing that the old man ignored him, even with Cai Yong's good self-cultivation, he couldn't stand it. After all, literati love face.
For the sake of face, some literati even sacrificed their lives.
Wang Yun gently pulled the corner of Cai Yong's clothes and whispered a few words. Only then did Cai Yong stop the anger in his heart and regain his calm demeanor.
Jia Rong walked to Yuan Shu's side unhurriedly and stared at him closely.
Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed by Jia Rong's look. He couldn't help but take a step back and said in a stern voice: "What are you doing? Am I right? A martial artist will always be a martial artist!"
Jia Rong smiled and said: "According to Mr. Yuan, who can enter this elegant hall?"
Yuan Shu straightened his clothes, recovered from the panic just now, and replied seriously: "Those who can enter this hall must of course be great scholars of the time and have a distinguished reputation. Warriors only know how to rush and kill on the battlefield. They are all vulgar and vulgar. How can I enter this hall?"
!”
Many people in the venue nodded lightly and approved of Yuan Shu's statement. Although Yuan Shu's statement was a bit extreme and not artistic at all, it meant the same thing in the eyes of these scholar-bureaucrats. There was a trace of disdain in Cao Cao's eyes. What martial artist couldn't do it?
Entering the elegant hall, the real war has arrived. Should these Confucian scholars who only know how to do things all day go to kill the enemy and defend the country? However, what Jia Rong said about the scholar-bureaucrats and the common people drinking together was a bit difficult for Cao Cao to accept.
Hearing Yuan Shu's words and observing the reaction of everyone in the arena, Jia Rong Wuming's career was huge. Civil and military officials were both officials of the Han Dynasty. They should help each other and work together. Unexpectedly, the Han Dynasty was such a custom. This is in line with the "China" of later generations.
What is the difference between "No humans or dogs allowed"?
Jia Rong looked at Yuan Shu and asked word by word: "If an ordinary citizen is here, what should Mr. Yuan do?"
Feeling the look in Jia Rong's eyes that wanted to kill someone, Yuan Shu looked elsewhere and chuckled: "This statement is really a big mistake in the world. An ordinary commoner might have been killed outside the door before he even walked into this room.
When it comes to guard killing, do you think everyone is as good as Prefect Jia?"
Everyone in the venue burst into laughter.
Jia Rong's face suddenly darkened. After everyone calmed down, he sneered: "Why is Mr. Yuan so fatherless and motherless?"
Yuan Shu was furious. In the dynasty where filial piety was the first priority, commenting on a person like this was tantamount to giving him a loud slap in the face in front of everyone, "You, you, tell me."
How fatherless and motherless I am, if you can't tell me, I will cut you into pieces today!" The excessive anger caused Yuan Shu's body to tremble uncontrollably. If it hadn't been in front of everyone, I'm afraid Yuan Shu would have cut you into pieces.
Facing each other.
The son of the aristocratic family who had encouraged Yuan Shu at the beginning also stood up and asked sternly: "If Jia Taishou cannot explain why he is doing this today, even if the Cai people stop him, Shao will let you die here!"
Jia Rong was a little stunned. As for such a big reaction? Looking at the angry eyes of everyone in the field, Jia Rong understood another truth. It turns out that in a big man, you can't say this casually, but Jia Rong's goal has been achieved.
What he wanted was to lead Yuan Shu step by step into the trap he had set. Unexpectedly, he accidentally aroused public outrage, and even Cai Yong turned his attention elsewhere.
It seems that if he doesn't explain this matter clearly, he will be trapped here.
Ignoring everyone's reactions and sorting out his somewhat confused thoughts, Jia Rong continued to ask Yuan Shu: "May I ask where Mr. Yuan's food and clothing come from?"
The protruding veins on Yuan Shu's face showed the anger in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said: "As a powerful general of the Han Dynasty, my food and clothing naturally come from the current emperor. As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor, I will definitely do it."
I want to repay the Holy Emperor for his kindness." Yuan Shu said righteously, mentioning the current Holy Emperor, Yuan Shu even raised his hand in the direction of the palace.
Yuan Shu's answer was quite satisfactory, and he also expressed his loyalty. Many people nodded approvingly. It was obvious that Yuan Shu's answer was what they thought, and the look he looked at Jia Rong was full of unkindness. Originally, the scholar was against the warrior who rushed to the battlefield.
He has no emotions and is naturally happy to see Jia Rong suffer.
Jia Rong calmly picked up a glass of wine on the table, took a sip, and said lightly: "In that case, I dare to ask General Yuan, where did the current emperor get the money and food from?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu was already a lieutenant general of the Han Dynasty at such a young age. The old Yuan family deservedly had the reputation of being a disciple of the fourth generation and the third prince, and had officials all over the world.
Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and let out an arrogant laugh, and then said: "A common man is a common man. He obviously doesn't understand government affairs but still shows off deliberately. No wonder Beidi County is in such a mess that Governor Jia is in charge of it!" The disdain in his eyes was beyond words.
