"Are you so selfless? The great credit for saving the prince has been transferred to me?"
Huang Shang was startled.
What Wu Que said is indeed true.
The imperial court hated the people in the world who used force to break the ban, and the people in the world did not have much respect for the court.
The two sides look at each other with hatred.
As a result, Jianghu people's reports of Xixia's conspiracy will not only not be heard by heaven, but will also not be taken seriously.
But then again, the reincarnators have so many methods. If they really want to be kind to the prince, they can definitely do it.
The power of the government cannot be ignored. They saved the prince. It will definitely be much more convenient for the next plot to take advantage of the situation.
But now according to Wuque's intention, it is equivalent to the reincarnation hiding behind the scenes and giving all the credit for saving the prince to Huang Shang.
Live**! What a good example!
In fact, this is just using ism to not feel bad about it.
The investigation about Xixia's intention to assassinate the prince was conducted by Xu Yue and Xu Feng.
The two siblings used the capital as their base. A Yipintang expert who had infiltrated the capital and Xixia's secret agent who had been lurking in the Song Dynasty followed the clues.
The other one stayed outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, listening to Han Zhongyan's banquet, writing down every word in a dull and boring manner.
These are all hard work.
Although the methods of the reincarnators are advanced, they are not pie-in-the-sky and simply given to them for free.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Yue and Xu Feng to transfer this credit directly to Huang Shang. They must also benefit from it to make their hard work worthwhile.
Unexpectedly, Xu Feng was seriously injured in the battle at Wuyou Cave. In order to appease Wu Que, Xu Yue had to give him the credit.
Wuque and Nightingale were obtained without any effort, and there is no need to talk about cherishing them.
For him, the most important thing at the moment is to establish a unique position in Huang Shang's heart.
Using Xu Yue and Xu Feng's hard work to make good friends with Huang Shang is naturally a pleasure.
Huang Shang didn't understand the cause and effect of this, so he wanted to refuse it on the surface. Then he heard the sound of warblers and swallows coming from the corridor outside, and the smell of fragrant powder drifted by.
"Official prostitute?"
Zhuangyuan Building is a government office, so naturally there are official prostitutes from the Jiaofang Division.
According to the law, prostitutes are not allowed to stay at night, that is, they are prostitutes but not their bodies.
But in fact, just like the hotel princesses of later generations, the rules are one thing, but actually doing them is another.
When these beauties arrived, there was a little more laughter in the next door.
Nightingale became even more disgusted when she saw it, Wuque also took the opportunity to say: "Don't hesitate any longer, can you bear to see the peace of the Song Dynasty destroyed in the hands of these people?"
This is actually a bit of a crime, so there is no need to worry about it.
It is normal for scholars to have romantic affairs, especially when they have just finished the crucial provincial examination and need to relax for a while. Recruiting prostitutes is a very common practice, and even the wives and concubines of these scholars will not say anything.
Wuque and Nightingale looked at it from a modern perspective and felt that this was not a good thing.
And Huang Shang comes from a small mountainous area, so he can't stand this kind of indulgence and extravagance.
The Song Dynasty seemed prosperous, but in fact there was a huge gap between the capital and outside the capital.
Ninety percent of the country's resources are used to support the scholar-bureaucrat class, allowing them to live and drink, so that places like Zhuangyuan Tower can be filled to capacity.
Listening to the debauchery next door, Huang Shang's expression changed, and he seemed to be touched, and finally nodded.
Wuque and Nightingale breathed a sigh of relief.
The upright ancient people really didn't know how to adapt. It was so difficult to get a credit. If you were a reincarnation person, you wouldn't cry and beg to call me daddy.
Huang Shang maintained his character and was not reckless. He asked, "How much does Mr. Han know?"
Today's husband is not a husband, but a title for the prime minister.
Xianggong Han naturally refers to Han Qi.
Wuque sneered and said ambiguously: "It's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach!"
This means a lot.
It could be that Han Qi's lax discipline allowed spies to sneak into Han Zhongyan's side;
It could also be that Han Zhongyan himself has problems and is up to no good.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the latter is impossible.
The current crown prince was originally made by Han Qi who urged Renzong over and over again. This is the result of following the dragon.
Later, Han Qi's status was so high, far higher than that of ordinary prime ministers, because he supported Yingzong and Shenzong.
Respect the three emperors and establish two masters!
There is no harvest yet. If the prince dies, Han Qi's efforts will be in vain.
In view of this, it is impossible for Han Zhongyan to go against the prince. How can a son mess with me?
"Does the reincarnation want to slander Han Qi? This operation is a bit taken for granted..."
Huang Shang had little experience in political struggle, and Huang Shang's talent did not include this, so he was a little confused for a while.
In fact, the most unbearable thing in this world, especially among the royal family, is suspicion.
From a logical point of view, the Han family would naturally not harm the prince, but if the prince was really assassinated and the Han family was implicated, wouldn't he be suspicious?
A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an anthill. When the seeds of distrust are planted, powerful ministers like Han Qi and aristocratic families like the Han family in Xiangzhou may also lose power.
At that time, it will be time for the new person to take over.
Without talking about it for the time being, Huang Shang looked at Wuque and Nightingale and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Han Zhongyan, Cai Jing and others were having fun next door, so it was really rude to rush to see them.
If there is a conflict, if you want to put the blame on them in the future, Huang Shanggong is also suspected of seeking personal revenge.
Don't do it all at once and end up making yourself look miserable.
Huang Shang didn't want to follow in his footsteps after laughing at the butcher just now.
Full of confidence, he smiled mysteriously: "You don't have to go next door, but come to see us next door!"
He clapped his hands heavily, and the waiter heard the call and walked in immediately.
We all started ordering and reported a long list of dish names, many of which were very strange.
Not to mention that Huang Shang was a little stunned after hearing this, the waiter was also moved, just like the waiter in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" who listened to Huang Rong's comments about the food and drinks, showing an expression of admiration.
The attitude of the hedonistic class in the Song Dynasty toward food was that they would never tire of fine food and fine cooking. The dishes in high-end restaurants were not fixed. As long as the guests ordered them, they would try their best to cook them.
This tests not only the restaurant, but also the vision and knowledge of the diners.
It’s not like Liu Yi who once had Huang Shang copy the book, just say it, but you have to know the seasons, when to eat what, and what food combinations are best. Otherwise, you will just make a joke and think that rare things are good things.
Xu Yue has obviously done some research, and the menu now reported was exactly what she designed.
"Please wait a moment."
So the waiter respectfully stepped back.
Zhuangyuanlou accepted the challenge, and soon a variety of delicious dishes were served.
The unique aroma of some dishes wafted out, and there was a commotion in the side room on the left.
Because many of the delicacies ordered here are in line with the tastes of the scholars next door, and the combinations are exquisite.
Han Qi is a very strict self-discipline person. When Han Zhongyan entertained guests at home, the food was not so tempting, and they were more interested in talking about poetry and Taoism.
This recipe is specially designed to seduce them.
The scent wafted over and was of course unbearable.
Soon the next door was going to add more dishes, but we got the tragic news that the ingredients for some of the dishes had run out, and it would take half an hour before they could be delivered, and an hour before they could be served.
It's getting late now, and in another hour, the day lilies will be cold.
This is not because Zhuangyuanlou is under-prepared, but because some of the ingredients are fresh, the 72 main stores supply them every day, and the quantity is limited.
There were no refrigerators in this era and everything was stored in cellars. Cold drinks were sold in the summer, but the ice water made of saltpeter could not really keep it fresh.
The neighbor, whose appetite was aroused, sighed again and again, but he had no choice but to do anything.
"it's time!"
At this moment, Wuque ordered the waiter to send the remaining food to the next door.
The euphemistic name means that the guests invited here have something to do but have not yet arrived, and it is the beauty of adulthood.
Not long after, a small cheer came from the next door, and soon someone came this way.
This is to thank you.
Everything is a routine.
"Amazing!"
Huang Shang looked at Wuque and was truly impressed.
A small offer of food brings the two parties together. It seems simple, but in fact it is all about the details.
After the investigation, it was found that he was upright and upright, and took the initiative to give up the food. If the other party provoked, he would retaliate for kindness.
Everything is done watertight.
Wuque secretly felt ashamed, but enjoying Huang Shang's gaze, he felt light all over.
Naturally, this layout was not thought up by him, but decided by Xu Yue.
I have to admit that although Xu Yue is a woman, she has a better perspective on the overall situation and is suitable to be the captain. And he is good at checking for leaks and filling vacancies and mobilizing resources, so he can be the deputy captain.
Nightingale is a research-oriented talent who has a thorough understanding of the witchcraft system and has the most comprehensive knowledge. Xu Feng specializes in combat, has rapidly improved his strength, endures hardships, and is brave and diligent.
The four of them each have their own characteristics, and they all have areas that Huang Shang cannot match.
But it doesn't matter. Leaders don't need to cover everything and do everything personally.
As long as the people around you are versatile, pool their wisdom, use their strengths, and everyone can add fuel to the fire, you will be able to achieve success.
The next moment, the box door opened, and two young scholars walked in. One of them was Cai Jing. He was smiling and talking. He was about to make friends and thank him, but when he saw Huang Shang sitting in the main seat, his smile suddenly froze on his face.
