Today is different from yesterday. Those present here are all students and subordinates of Yang Lin, and they are also close to each other.
Everyone gathered around Yang Lin and sat down. They each found a place to sit down. After a while, the maids dressed like butterflies served dishes.
Chao Chaoli raised his glass and said with a smile: "Young Zai has a new wife and a good disciple. My subordinates borrowed Shao Zai's wine and toasted to Shao Zai. I wish Shao Zai good luck every year and good luck every year."
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Shi'an, I just told you to stop drinking for two days. The deadline has not yet expired. Since you are the one making the toast, I will give you some thin noodles with tea instead of wine."
Everyone burst into laughter. They had never heard of someone who stopped drinking for two days.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside. Lu Qian came in hurriedly, lowered his head and said: "Young Master, the officials are here."
Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, then stood up randomly and walked out without answering any explanation.
Everyone was in silence when they suddenly saw Yang Lin leading someone in with a smile. Shao Zai personally led the way. What kind of treatment was this? Could it be that Cai Jing was here?
When they came in, with the help of the light, everyone could see clearly that it was the emperor Zhao Ji who came.
Everyone stood up quickly. Zhao Ji, who was even more accommodating than Yang Lin, pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
After taking the "elixir", he felt hot and full of energy. First, he proclaimed his love for the concubine Wang during the day, and then gathered people to hold a Cuju competition. Finally, he was still a little excited, so he simply left the palace to find Yang Lin.
.
Yang Lin smiled and talked about accepting disciples. Zhao Ji called the two new disciples to him and asked them a few words.
Yao Pingzhong was very happy to finally see his idol. When Yang Lin saw his silly smile, his heart suddenly moved.
He pursed his lips slightly and said: "Guan Jia, this disciple of mine has a grievance story. Now that I have met with Your Majesty today, I can't help but vindicate him."
Zhao Ji did not agree, but just smiled and said: "There are still grievances that you can't rectify. Let's talk about it."
Yang Lin stood up, pointed at Yao Pingzhong and said: "I'm sorry, this son has made great achievements many times in the army. In the battle to destroy Xixia, he was the bravest of all three armies and is recognized as the most successful general in the army.
When the commander-in-chief Tong Guan asked him for rewards, just because he said a word, all his achievements were wiped out and he was expelled from the Qin Feng Army."
When Zhao Ji heard that he was complaining about Tong Guan, he felt a little uncomfortable. Yang Lin was his beloved, and Tong Guan was his domestic slave. They were very close to each other, and Zhao Ji didn't want to belittle either of them.
But what Yang Lin said was so mysterious that Zhao Ji couldn't help but ask: "What did you say?"
Yao Pingzhong glanced at Yang Lin, who nodded lightly. Yao Pingzhong said with a blushing face: "In my life, ordinary people admire Your Majesty the most. When the Tongzhi envoy asked me, I only said that I did this meritorious service and did not seek promotion or wealth. But
Please let him bring me to see you once, and I won’t take any other rewards.”
Zhao Ji did not expect that this would be the result, and he felt that it was quite useful.
This was different from ordinary flattery. The important general who traveled across the battlefield and killed the enemy actually performed meritorious service just to see him.
Zhao Ji showed a hint of well-hidden pride, and felt like he had taken another elixir of relief. He smiled and said, "By some chance, you still met me, how about it?"
"People think that being famous is not as good as meeting each other!" His words were not flattery, they came from the heart, and they seemed more and more sincere.
Zhao Ji is a gentle and elegant man, outstanding and as talented as a fairy. The young Taiwei who was living in Hanzhong of the Northwest Army had never seen such a person before. In addition, he had admired him since he was a child, which made him even more happy.
Zhao Ji laughed and kept asking about Yao Pingzhong's contribution, but did not mention Tong Guan's matter anymore. It seemed that he was planning to pass this matter over and not investigate Tong Guan's fault.
Yang Lin was helpless. This was just the way this person was. He was able to achieve this step by taking advantage of his protective character.
If he can protect himself, he will definitely protect Tong Guan, after all, they are all his close ministers.
Others with this honor include Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu, and Cai You. In the past, there were also Wang Fu and Guo Shixin, both of whom were hacked by Yang Lin.
As for other people, their relationship with the Emperor is relatively distant, not so close.
But looking at Zhao Ji's eyes, Yang Lin was sure that he no longer had to worry about his disciple's career.
This time it's not flattery. If Zhao Ji scratches his itch, he can still treat you badly.
Moreover, Yao Pingzhong was different from ordinary ministers. He was a man of real ability. In later history, after he escaped, Song Qinzong and later Zhao Gou sent people to search for him many times, hoping that he could come out to lead troops.
This person has no other characteristics, except that he is fierce, so fierce that even the arrogant Jurchen Tatars have to retreat.
The emperor came, and the ministers below him were excited and nervous at the same time.
Unlike Yang Lin, they could usually see the emperor only during the morning court or during various celebrations.
Now we are sitting together, drinking and having fun, talking about everything, like old friends, making Wang Chaoli, Xu Zhichang and other orthodox civil servants extremely excited.
When the emperor arrived, the atmosphere at the banquet changed, and everyone in the Yang family became nervous.
Some people with poor tolerance are already restrained and do not dare to eat food. They feel uncomfortable just sitting there.
Not to mention that there was a group of unofficial laymen at the table, just ordinary people. Except for an open-minded person like Xu Shuwei who resigned from his official position and became a doctor, the others were all frightened.
Yang Lin took the opportunity to praise him fiercely, and took out a telescope and explained it to Zhao Ji in detail.
When Zhao Ji heard that there was such a strange thing, he took it in his hand and started playing with it. It was dark now and there was no way to verify it. He could only wait until tomorrow to enjoy it.
In a fragrant pavilion in the inner courtyard, in front of a small nanmu table, there is a brocade tent with silver hooks. It is very gorgeous, like orchid and musk deer, and the fragrance is astonishing.
Zheng Yunyao, who had just married into the Yang family, had a red face and didn't know how to treat guests.
On the contrary, Yun Niang, who was standing behind her, answered quite appropriately. Mrs. Yao was also an unusual person. Fortunately, Yun Niang was the one who helped her, and they managed to talk some things back and forth.
It's nothing more than some jewelry, clothes, and rouge. These two beauties have the same style, they are both charming and charming, and they appreciate each other even more.
Friendships between women are always established very quickly, and of course they break up very quickly.
At this time, Zhao Ji from the outer courtyard had already stood up and was about to leave. The wine and food in the Yang Mansion were good, but Zhao Ji didn't choose them. He ate a few plates and drank three glasses.
Everyone present stood up and sent him out. Before getting on the carriage, Zhao Ji called Yang Lin over and asked a few questions.
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will continue to refine the elixir."
Only then did Zhao Ji feel relieved, put down the curtain, and, surrounded by the palace eunuchs and escorted by the imperial guards, returned to Genyue.
Everyone only saw the official and Yang Shaozai whispering, chatting happily, and their joy was exposed, and they couldn't help but become more envious.
Shaozai's holy family is so prosperous that he can actually let the officials visit him like relatives and friends. No one would believe it if he told it.
In the past, this kind of thing only happened to the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin and the prime minister Zhao Pu.
As soon as Zhao Ji left, everyone also resigned one after another, with smiles on their faces. They had a meal with the emperor today, which was enough for them to brag about for a few years when they went back.
Yao Pingzhong and Yao Pingyi stood at the door and said, "Teacher, can you send someone to ask mother to come out?"
Yang Lin nodded and called Qin Qingqing, who was waiting beside him, to call for someone.
After a while, Mrs. Yao and Zheng Yunyao put their arms out, and they were actually a little intimate. Yang Lin was surprised to see them.
Mrs. Yao bowed gently and took her nephew and nephew to wait for the car to leave. Yang Lin stood in front of his wife, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes moved. Lu Qian next to him nodded secretly.
Having been together day and night for so long, the two of them had a tacit understanding. Lu Qian must have sent someone to investigate secretly. Yang Lin tightened his belt and thought that he would take a look at Mrs. Yao's itinerary and preferences tomorrow and prepare to get this beautiful woman.
Although I have succeeded many times with ease, I am still a little excited before every shot, which is really exciting.
Especially for a beauty like Mrs. Yao, in terms of appearance alone, Li Ning'er, Zheng Yunyao, and Li Shishi are all as exquisite as her, or even more so.
But that charming, noble and beautiful look cannot be achieved without a noble status. Looking at what Yang Lin of the Song Dynasty has seen, the little Concubine Liu can match it. And the identity of the little widow, hehe.
He was dirty in his heart, but he smiled very openly and suavely, lowered his head and said softly:
"Yao'er, today is your first time entertaining guests as the mistress of the Yang family. How are you doing?"
The voice was as warm as jade and soft as water, which made Zheng Yunyao feel very heart-warming.
Zheng Yunyao raised her chin and said, "Mrs. Yao keeps praising me."
Yang Lin nodded, looked back at the carriage disappearing into the night in the distance, and said, "That's good."
