"I'm just trying to comfort your sister. You, Xue Pan, are still an imperial merchant. If you want to join the Imperial Guard, I'm afraid the Ministry of Internal Affairs won't agree."
Lin Zhao smiled and pulled gently.
This Xue Pan has been eating spicy food since he was a child, running around wildly when he has nothing to do. He is covered in fat and has a burly figure, probably weighing no less than 180 kilograms. However, he was gently pulled by Lin Zhao and stood up involuntarily.
He originally comforted Baochai because he wanted Xue Pan to stop improving and have nothing to do, so that he could consider letting him join the Jinyi Guard, and Lin Zhao would take care of him.
If this kid corrected himself directly, Lin Zhao would naturally be too lazy to pay attention to him.
Xue Pan originally wanted to play a trick of "If you don't accept me, I won't get up."
But under Lin Zhao's magical power, he stood up with almost no resistance, and he couldn't help but be surprised and admired Lin Zhao in his heart.
When he heard that Lin Zhao seemed to be trying to evade, he felt anxious and shouted quickly: "Brother Lin, if you hadn't sent the Jin Yiwei to carry out severe beatings and beat my brother out of his drunken dreams, I'm afraid that my brother would still be doing nonsense every day, and let him
My friends were worried and my family members were in tears. Even if Brother Lin doesn’t want me to join the Jin Yiwei, he still allows me to meet him often and receive teachings from time to time.”
These words were quite sincere, somewhat literary and well-written, but Lin Zhao had no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh a little.
It obviously seems to have been taught by someone else.
So Lin Zhao just said: "You and I are relatives, wouldn't it be too foreign to say anything else? Come on, let's go in and have a drink together to celebrate Brother Lian's promotion."
"You're right, Xue Datou, it's better to come in and have a drink!"
"With Brother Lin's words, you can't go astray."
"From now on, when you go out to fool around, just think about Jin Yiwei."
"Let's go, let's go in together, let's have a good time!"
Everyone said one after another, and surrounded Lin Zhao and walked inside.
When they entered Jinxiang Courtyard, a banquet table had been set up early, and they sat down separately.
It has to be said that many yamen and dandies choose to drink here, not just because this is Chunlou, everyone likes the atmosphere.
The girl Yun'er in Jinxiang Courtyard is really good at livening up the atmosphere. With her presence, no matter how embarrassing the atmosphere is, it can be restored.
We didn't have any drama about announcing our family status or talking about our age, except for the random shouting of Brother Lin, Brother Feng, and Brother Han.
In fact, Xue Pan has been doing very poorly since he came to the capital.
Which of the children of the aristocratic families in the capital looked at Xue Pan seriously? They thought he was just a rich man from the countryside.
In addition to wanting Xue Panhua to invite him to a banquet as a host, she might even call him a fool, Xue Pan, secretly!
And Wang Ren, Xue Pan's cousin and the son of Wang Ziteng who stayed in the capital, was not a good person either. He was cunning and wanted to take advantage of Xue Pan.
But that’s where it ends.
At least Xue Pan could get to know Feng Ziying through Baoyu and be acquainted with Liu Xianglian. However, it was difficult for Wang Ren to sneak into it.
At first, Xue Pan followed Wang Ren and walked around the capital. It was difficult for him to even enter the residence of a serious viscount and baron, not to mention the Duke's house. There were just some down-and-out clan nobles on the left and right, and they were all running out of food.
If you can't afford it, you dare to show off in front of a rich country man like Xue Pan.
Over time, Xue Pan also felt bored.
This time he was sent to a labor camp in Zhuangzi outside the city, which was equivalent to being isolated from the world for two months. This made Xue Pan think a lot in his empty head.
At least, he knew he couldn't go on as usual.
So this time I seized the opportunity to celebrate Jia Lian's promotion and then meet with Lin Zhao to establish relationships with all the nobles.
Of course, the most important thing is to establish a relationship with Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao was also a rich man from the countryside, but he was able to run rampant in the capital.
Not to mention having a title.
He even dared to arrest the families of those earls and viscounts, and punished the unruly slaves in the royal palace and the duke's palace.
This is manly style!
In comparison, Feng Ziying is nothing.
So Xue Pan must seize this opportunity no matter what.
As long as you enter this circle, you can walk around Chang'an City and hit anyone you want on the street.
Unlike Wang Ren, when he is angry and angry, he can only vent his anger on waiters, passers-by and the like...
Of course, the above are Xue Pan's innermost thoughts, but even if he were killed, he would not tell outsiders.
However, even though he thought so, after all, the other party was a top noble, so Xue Pan couldn't help but become a little more cautious. After entering the door and taking a seat, he was somewhat trepidatious and couldn't let go.
On the other hand, Feng Ziying was worthy of being the top yamen in the capital. She was bold and free-spirited. She laughed, cursed and scolded Baji during the banquet. It was a shame to meet Feng Ziying so late.
As the chat got underway, Miss Yun'er played the pipa and Feng Ziying sang a ditty. The whole hall was filled with cheers.
Everyone had a great time at the banquet, and Xue Pan also drank a lot. He followed Lin Zhaoshenhou all the time, and even wanted to lead his horse and whip for him. After Lin Zhao repeatedly refused, the guy hugged him.
He was begging for nothing, and insisted on giving the family's beautiful concubine Xiang Ling to Lin Zhao for fun, and even talked about the benefits of the beautiful concubine.
Come on! Whoever you are talking about seems to have less tricks to play. You, a rich man from Jinling, no matter how much fun you play, can you compare to those dignitaries in the capital who play more tricks?
And Emperor Lin Zhao, heroes and gods have all done it, what kind of tricks have he not experienced? I have never seen it.
If he had time, he could write a complete guide to concubines.
In the end, Xue Pan hugged Lin Zhao's thigh and fell asleep soundly. In the end, Lin Zhao arranged for his men to send him back because he came alone, probably because he was worried that kneeling to Lin Zhao would damage Uncle Xue's image in the hearts of his slaves.
But in terms of drinking, the one who had the happiest time was Jia Lian, who was promoted today.
However, Jia Lian had already given instructions before drinking, and he would be woken up tomorrow no matter what.
He is going to attend the imperial meeting.
The Great Court Meeting is held every half month. According to regulations, all officials of the fifth rank or above in Beijing must attend the Great Court Meeting.
Therefore, Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry of the fifth rank and the actual head of the Rongguo Mansion, could not participate, but Jia Lian, the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, who was a member of the General Affairs Department of the fifth rank, could participate.
Jia Lian and Sister Feng have been waiting for this day for a long time.
…
The Great Court Meeting was originally a time for formal ceremonies to be held. The vassal kingdom submitted its credentials, the emperor conferred meritorious honors, and other important ceremonial activities. At this time, all officials could meet the emperor, and the whole world attracted attention, so it was naturally very grand.
But today is different.
Emperor Xiaode proposed at the court meeting: We, the great Zhou Dynasty, have relied on military force to establish our country. Now that it has been more than a hundred years, we cannot tolerate the slackening of our military preparations.
Although the world is at peace now, they dare not forget the war. This was also what Taizu Emperor Gao and the Supreme Emperor were most prepared for back then:
If you forget to fight, you will perish!
Therefore, Emperor Xiaode announced at the court meeting that on October 18th, all the princes of the clan, the nobles of the martial arts, and the children of the generals and aristocratic families would go to Tiewen Mountain to fight the siege and restore military preparedness.
At first, Lin Zhao, who was attending the court meeting, didn't care.
It was just a hunting activity, and he, as a royal guard, only needed to protect the safety of the emperor and some important ministers.
Could it be that it was his turn to handle such a trivial matter as the young man killing the general with antlers?
It was only when I heard the name of that place that my expression suddenly became strange.
You know, but in the Tienwang Mountain siege...
Of course, he is the emperor and already has an absolute advantage in the court. Even if the Supreme Emperor comes back, he cannot stop the general trend. Therefore, if the emperor wants everyone to hunt him down, then it is up to him.
