13. Lu Qi went to the government banquet

Cui Ning nodded, "Just think it through. That guy Yang Yan is not sincere to you. I understand this person. There are only three standards for him to use - those who are loyal to himself and have the ability to use, those who are loyal to him but do not use them. As for those who are capable but who are against him... he will only turn against you to death."

As the candlelight swayed, Gao Yue knew that Cui Shiba was the second type of person to Yang Yan, and what about himself? It was probably between the first type and the third type, all depends on my own choice.

Cui Ning continued to talk about the Jingyuan military situation: "Gaolang, you have been in Jingzhou for a year. You should understand how dangerous it is to directly farm in Pingliang! If he asked you to go and support you to go to Pingliang camp, there are only two purposes. One is to trap you in his camp, provoke our father-in-law and son-in-law, and the relationship between you and Liu Yan; the other is that he needs someone to fight Pingliang farming. This road is a life-and-death road. Yu Zhun and Du You won't go at all, so let you go."

Hearing this, Gao Yue thought that what could truly realize his ideal was Liu Yan's plan, which was to first camp in the first 100-mile front-line camp between Jingzhou, Fengxiang and Changwu City. These military camps could provide food to several military towns in the northwest at the same time, which was very safe. In addition, there were two pools of salt profits as a backing, which was equivalent to "measurement and subsistence"; and Yang Yan's plan was almost intact and followed the Yuanzai legacy policy, which was equivalent to "measurement and subsistence". He and Liu Yan and Duan Xiushi both stated that although the general direction was correct, they were too risky. Once they failed, the harm would be very great.

If I copy Yuan Zai’s legacy, wouldn’t my improvement plan be wasted?

Yang Yan is not a fool. Of course he will know the risks of building a city in Pingliang. There may be only one reason for this: he is to oppose Liu Yan. This person only has a passionate desire for revenge and lacks the ability and vision of being the magistrate. Any national policy is just a means for him.

"What I worry most now is that Liu Yan will lose his mind under Yang Yan's provocation, so that Yan Xiang will really end up with the same ending as in history..." Gao Yue felt a little anxious when he thought of this.

But my father-in-law Cui Ning said to him directly: "Gaolang, now is not the time for you to think randomly, we have to do it too, the soldiers are more important than speed."

"Dare you ask my father?"

Cui Ning slowly raised his face, and murderous aura appeared in the corner of his eyes, "You are now the Censor of Xiantai. Even Chang Gun had impeached him before, so he had to be beaten Qiao Lin... He succeeded in knocking Qiao Lin, and then your father and I will be the Censor. If Zhang is in trouble, then Yang Yan will be restless!"

"It's true that I'm not hiding it. I used to impress Chang Gun because of Guo Fenyang's help, but now?"

Cui Ning touched his beard and laughed, "Don't worry, Gao Lang, I, the Cui family in Shengpingfang, will naturally have someone in the Xiansi. I will be out tomorrow. The Chief Censor Lu Qi will come to visit me."

"Lu Qi?" Gao Yue couldn't help but shouted this name...

The next day, Lu Qi did prepare a car from his house. Before leaving, the man dressed up carefully, applied Sogdian oil on his hair, smelled of fragrance on his clothes, wore a brand new gauze hat, and had a long-prepared famous thorn in his arms, and then set off towards Shengpingfang with his delicate ugly face.

At this time, in the Cui family's house, Cui Ning's fifty or sixty concubines were all clamoring, busy around the central hall, setting up a vocal banquet. Some were trimming flowers in the railings, some were choosing the color of the curtains, and some were exposing their white bodies in the screen in the back hall, trying to play with various dance clothes and fiddling with various musical instruments.

After all, the imperial censor Zhongcheng was coming soon, and his identity was very important.

"Ahhhhh!" Suddenly, the concubines who changed their clothes behind the screen screamed.

Because the son-in-law of the Cui family was wearing a round-neck dark green gown and a white middle-clothed shirt, he suddenly appeared in the back hall of the middle hall, staring at them who were half exposed and half covered.

Cui Ning and his sons rushed over angrily, "Gaolang, what are you doing? This is my concubine. If you want, I will spend money to buy it for you."

Gao Yue turned around and bowed to his father-in-law quickly: "Father, Lu Qi will come to the banquet immediately. Please be sure to send these girls into the backyard room and be temporarily detained. You cannot let them walk around at will, let alone come to the central hall."

"Why is this? Wumei Jiao Niang serves a banquet, is that still called a banquet?"

"Please agree, my son-in-law will definitely explain it clearly afterwards."

Cui Ning was still waiting to say something, but saw that his wife Liu and daughter Yun Shao were coming here in the corridor. He immediately felt a sense of crisis coming to his face. He waved his hand and said to the group of concubines, "Go and go, just do what Gao Lang said, "I'll ask Ren to come and see you."

"It's really inexplicable!" Dozens of beautiful concubines were jammed and complained, being held in a cross-cutting sword by the Ren family, and sent to the backyard room.

"Oh, I really had a good night's sleep, ah ah ah ah ah?" Cai Luan Refiner, who had just gotten up, stretched out before walking out, was squeezed by these concubines and returned to the wing room.

In the end, even Zhihui, Acuo, and even his mother-in-law and wife were invited back by Gao Yue.

Soon, Lu Qi got off the car in front of Cui Mansion, and the officials at the opposite door presented the name of the sect and walked in.

I looked up again and saw that there were delicacies in the middle hall, and there were only Kunlun slaves sitting in the lower hall, who were even darker than him. In the hall, there were Cui Ning, his children and son-in-law, without a trace of a woman.

At this time, Cui Ning smiled, walked down quickly with his palms, and exchanged greetings with Lu Qi, and invited him to the banquet.

"Oh, Yisong!" Lu Qi looked at Gao Yue sitting upright on the seat, pointed at him and smiled.

"Mr. Lu." Gao Yue was also very polite and bowed to Lu Qi quietly.

Although the other three Cui family members couldn't help but want to cry or laugh when they saw Lu Qi like this, they all suppressed themselves and saluted one by one.

"Well!" Yun Shao, who could see the banquet scene behind the window of the room in the West Hall, saw Lu Qi who was attending the banquet, was about to vomit, but Zhihui covered his mouth, "I can't do it."

This time, Zhihui was the first to understand Gao Yueliang's hard work.

Sure enough, Lu Qi was very satisfied with this banquet without a woman, but he was still too careful and deliberately asked Cui Ning's house that there was no musician.

If it is normal, Cui Ning may have misunderstood Lu Qi's true intentions, but he received a reminder from his son-in-law in advance and replied that all the female family members in the mansion went to the Buddhist temple to incense.

Lu Qi finally relaxed, and with a little drunkenness, reached some ulterior motives with Cui Ning, and submitted quite critical black materials to Gao Yue.

In the afternoon, when Lu Qi said goodbye and left, groups of concubines were released, and they flew all over the house like magpies. At this moment, Cui Ning suddenly realized, "The son-in-law is right. Lu Qi is so beautiful, and he is also a narrow-minded person. If a woman is present and mocking him for his appearance, Lu Qi will definitely hate me and will retaliate against the Cui family!"

At this moment, a woman in a half-old feathered dress comb in a market-deserted horse bun suddenly appeared under the central hall corridor and asked Cui Ning with great brilliance, "Where is Yisong, this father-in-law?"

In a trance, Cui Ning didn't even think about it, so he pointed to the West Courtyard and said, "Gaolang is shooting the long pile there!"

This woman looked like a woman's crown and walked towards the west courtyard.
