.A dozen guests had already arrived in the hall, and each guest was surrounded by a beautiful maid.

Wu Sansi came to the hall with Kong Zhengfang's clothes and introduced them to Kong Zhengfang one by one. Most of the guests who came were the North Gate Bachelor who was spread throughout the market. Everyone was famous, Yuan Wanqing, Liu Yizhi, Liu Yizhi, Zhou Simao, Fan Lubing, Wei Jingye, Miao Shenke, Hu Chubin, Yan Chaoyin, son of Yan Lide who was jealous with Yang Min's brother, Zong Chuke, son of the new Jinshi Wu Zetian, and newly joined Su Wei Wei Chengqing, son of Wei Siqian.

Political views are different, but these people have been in charge of the Empress Dowager for several years, and each family background is far better than Kong Zhengfang. Even the writing style is not a head start in the literary world.

Kong Zhengfang also gave a tribute honestly.

Most of them have a gentle attitude, and there are a few, which are not that good.

After seeing the ceremony with anger and exhausted, Wu Chengsi pulled him to the head. Kong Zhengfang originally wanted to push it, but then he thought, I was an envoy sent by the emperor, why can't I sit down at the head? So he calmly sat down.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi looked at each other and clapped their hands. The servant brought the wine and food. Just as they were about to toast, Zong Chuke stood up and said, "Don't busy, don't worry, there is something unknown to me."

"Please speak," Wu Chengsi said with his hand.

Zong Chuke looked at Kong Zhengfang and asked, "Mr. Kong, what are your virtues and abilities? You are a member of all the scholars?"

"There is nothing else, I am the emperor's envoy." Anyway, things have come to this point, and Kong Zhengfang has also taken the initiative.

"So, what is the chief of the county magistrate Kong? Is it a chess and painting, a moral article, or a family of honor?"

"I have been from a poor family since I was a child and had no money to learn piano, chess and paintings, so I know nothing about it." This is a modest saying, I know a little, but when facing these knowledgeable bachelors, if you say you know the basics, you are just waiting to be ashamed.

"The article is even more ashamed and can only understand the numbers. Only moral integrity can be reluctant to do things, and I have never done anything wrong in my life. In Qinghai, I will do my best to mislead people's children. I am even more like walking on thin ice, afraid of making any mistakes. Being a county magistrate is to be lenient and kind, and assist Ming Gong in governing the county. Although being an emperor is sending letters, I am cautious all the way and strive to present the emperor's songs to the hands of the emperor. As for piano, chess and paintings, I am so careless and unsophisticated, but I really don't know what it has to do with politics. Can you play a few good songs, draw a few good paintings, and write a good hand to make the management and governance of the people safe?"

I don’t know anything, but I can be a good official and have good ethics. Unlike you, you can do anything in order to pursue wealth and prosperity!

He slammed Zong Chuke's army.

Speaking of this, Kong Zhengfang had been in Qinghai for a long time, and was infected with the tyranny of the plateau. He stood up and said, "Of course, in terms of family background, I am even worse. My ancestors only published a Confucius and wrote a few books, which can be compared with you."

After saying that, he smiled slightly and sat down.

Almost choked Zong Chuke to death.

Wu Chengsi made a smooth move and said, "Don't fight, don't fight. County Magistrate Kong came from afar, and Wu toasted a glass."

After drinking a glass of water and wine, Yan Chaoyin stood up and said, "Mr. Kong, do you have your parents alive in the world?"

"Yes, it's still in Shandong."

"Why not bring it to you to offer?"

"I am ashamed of not being able to make a living, so I have to let my parents send their parents to my elder brother, sending some private funds every year to help my elder brother with food and well-being."

"If it is the parents' order, will it be acceptable?"

There is a murderous opportunity buried in this sentence.

"Hell!" Kong Zhengfang replied firmly.

Yan Chaoyin sat down with satisfaction and smiled at each other with Zong Chuke.

Zong Chuke took over his topic and asked, "Then why didn't the emperor be ordered by the emperor and the empress dowager?"

"Hey, why did Mr. Zong say this?"

"Isn't it? When the emperor led five hundred soldiers into the Eastern Palace and threatened the emperor to abdicate, this is what the Son of Man could do?"

After killing Wang Guo, the conflict between Li Wei and Wu Zetian intensified, otherwise Zong Chuke would not have the courage to say this.

Kong Zhengfang replied frankly: "Your Majesty was the commander of the three armies and the prince of the Eastern Palace. He returned to the Eastern Palace and led 500 soldiers to guard it. Is it beyond the etiquette system? If the emperor had a bad intention, why should he escape and actually fled to the Western Regions again? It was because he was in good health and poor health. In recent years, he had been running around for tens of thousands of miles, and his health was also dragged down."

"Then why kill Wang Guo?"

"Zongjun, I ask you, do you want to destroy the Tang Dynasty?"

"Why ask?"

"I just want your answer."

Zong Chuke shook his head helplessly.

"Since I don't want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, why do you want Wang Guo to go to Qinghai and shake the foundation of the Western War? This was originally a group of sluts. Wuji and others pointed out Fei Wuji and instigated King Ping of Chu to kill Prince Jian and Wu She, and wanted to ruin the family. As a son, Your Majesty was not good at pointing out his parents' faults, so he could only kill Wang Guo silently and cover up for his parents. He was guilty, and as a minister, how could he accuse the king of others at will?" Kong Zhengfang slapped himself two big slaps.

First, we will explain it, and then we will say that you use your parents' orders to criticize the emperor. Don't forget that the father is the leader of the son, and the king is the leader of the minister. What qualifications do you have to guide the emperor incorrectly!

It actually left Zong Chuke and Yan Chaoyin speechless.

Yuan Wanqing didn't want to interrupt, but the scholars from the North Gate were one, so he could only say with a thorn in his mouth: "Although this is the case, the Khurasan in the river is too far away, and the family is useless to get it. On the contrary, it was the Turks invaded and the people in Hedong Pass in Hebei were repeatedly hurt. If your Majesty intends, he should lead his army to destroy the Turks, rather than explore Khurasan. Beauty is beautiful. If this move is not done, he will not forcefully compete with the Great Food. Then Tubo will not take the opportunity to send troops to the Western Regions."

"Yuan Jun, you have outstanding literary talent. You have always heard of his reputation in Qinghai. I also heard that you used to ridicule Goryeo and don't know how to defend the Green. Have you not changed your shortcomings for so many years? The Turkic riots were in great momentum, but they were defeated by Mr. Pei in an instant. Gu Dulu is only a general under Wen Bo, and Ashide Yuanzhen is an unsatisfactory low-level official in the border area of ​​our dynasty. The momentum is far less than the previous two times, and the scale is less than the previous two times, and the appeal is far less than that. At the beginning, General Cheng and General Zhang said that they defeated Fu Nian and Wen Bo. Why can't Gu Dulu and Yuanzhen be defeated now? If as rumored in the market, they are usurping merits?"

"It's because of the great disaster in Guanzhong..."

"Take it seriously? The disaster in Guanzhong has calmed down this year. Although the prefectures in Henan Province have suffered some flooding, the disaster is far less than last year. So I'm waiting for good news from the two generals. But why do I have to personally fight? If the family launches any battle in the future, the emperor will personally fight?"

"But the emperor personally entered the Western Regions!" Yan Chaoyin said.

Kong Zhengfang looked at him with a very contemptuous look. He heard some things that Yan Liben was very close to the emperor. Even if he did not surrender to the empress dowager, the emperor would also recommend him in the future. Why did he also fall under the empress dowager's pomegranate skirt?

He replied calmly: "Your Majesty went to the Western Regions. The original meaning was to quell the riots of the Western Turks. At that time, I didn't expect to expedition to Khurashan. Otherwise, you would like to think about your Majesty's preparations for the previous few months before the expedition. Is this the case? The reason why I changed my mind was because there was a serious civil strife in Dashi, and the opportunity was rare. Your Majesty had already described it in detail in the previous report, so I don't need to explain it anymore. Why did Tubo attack? You can take out the map and take a look. After getting Khurashan, it is called the gate between the river and Tochar. Your Majesty never let the generals continue to expand their territory to the south and west, but After getting the entire Tochar states and Sestan region, let’s see what the situation is in Tubo? Even taking Qinghai down, the Tubo people even had a problem with the salt they consumed. Everyone, our number one enemy is not the Turks, the Turks have fallen. But Tubos. No matter how powerful the Turks are, if General Xue Rengui is still alive, he will lead 50,000 troops and 50,000 people to go to Heisha. Even if Guo Zhifeng and Xue Rengui are incompatible, will all 100,000 people be lost to Heisha? If this battle survives, the Tubo people will surrender without fighting. What else is more important than this to our Tang Dynasty?”

"So in your opinion, the Taihuang is still alive, and the emperor is in charge of the most elite soldiers in the country and the most warlike generals. Is that right?"

"What's wrong? It's the emperor, not the crown prince, he has the power of military and national power. As for what you are worried about? Or what are some people slandering? It's said that the emperor is in charge of the Qinghai army and will lead his army to counterattack the Central Plains and cause civil strife in the Tang Dynasty. Is it a joke? If the Emperor is alive, the emperor will lead the army to the east and hang the eyes out of the Tianjin Bridge."

No one dealt with it again.

It’s not that Li Zhi is alive, Li Wei will lead his army back. The key is that Li Zhi dies of illness, Li Wei will lead his army back, and the old and new accounts will be settled.

Wu Chengsi frowned, very dissatisfied.

After this quarrel, these well-educated people actually defeated a poor student. The atmosphere was a little unstable. He clapped his hands and said, "Don't understand, everyone, the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the Master will be the master of this matter, and it is not something you and I can care about. Where are you and I, singing and dancing."

A group of dancers came and danced "Green Waist Dance", a kind of soft dance.

The Tang Dynasty dance was divided into healthy dance, soft dance and flower dance, character dance and horse dance. Horse dance is the dance of dancers riding horses, mostly male dancers. Flower dance is the way the dancers wear colorful clothes to combine various flowers, and the character dance is spelled into characters. The opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympic Games in later generations was mostly flower dance and character dance.

The most common ones are healthy dance and soft dance. The movements of healthy dance are large, while soft dance has deep considerations for waist, wrist, steps, forehead, width, and sleeves.

A dancer in the middle looks very bright and dances very well.

Since he didn't show his ugly face, Kong Zhengfang watched the dances of these dancers with peace of mind.

Wu Chengsi said: "Mr. Kong County Master, the dancer who led the dance was named Lu'e, who was an official son. His father was surrendered to the Neijiaofang. He was gentle and beautiful. I liked it very much."

"Um."

"Can you see your Dharma?"

"I dare not."

"Why don't you dare? I appreciate it very much just because of your conversation just now. Today, Wu was happy and gave her to you."

It was so hard that it was soft. Kong Zhengfang smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It's very difficult to support the family if you are poor. How dare you accept this girl?"

"What's wrong? Where can I get the person, I will give it two hundred gold and reward it to the county magistrate Kong."

"The Duke of the State, I have no merits and receive my salary. I thank you for your kindness. I will not dare to accept it."

"Don't you give Wu's face?"

"It's not that you don't give it, you dare not accept it. The two cannot be mixed together." Seeing that Wu Chengsi was about to attack, Kong Zhengfang stood up and said, "You are born in a poor and do not understand etiquette. Today, there are many things that go against you, and I hope it will be huge."

As he said that, he was about to say goodbye.

"Wait," Wu Chengsi pulled up his sleeve again and said to everyone: "I have a beast and I like it very much. It is already an adult. Please take a look."

He took them to the leopard house again.

It turned out that the big spotted leopard I raised had also reached adulthood. It was well-raised, with smooth fur and strong physique. When everyone arrived, there was a fierce light in his eyes and he kept roaring.

Wu Chengsi asked the servant to capture a little rabbit and put it in the leopard house. The big leopard was about hungry and rushed over fiercely, pressing the rabbit to the ground, swallowing it alive for a while, without fullness, and staring at everyone with its green eyes.

Wu Chengsi said: "If a stranger falls in at this time, what will happen?"

The eyes swept around the corner of the hole.

Don’t think that Wu Chengsi is joking. These are all the people of the Empress Dowager. If you really push yourself down, none of them will tell the others, and you will only say that you were at the point of falling after drinking. But at this time, Kong Zhengfang was determined to die and shut up.

Yan Chaoyin laughed and said, "I will die without a place to bury me."

"But there is one thing that can't be eaten."

“What is it?”

"On the right time! I'm not too late, I'm going to say goodbye."

Wu Chengsi's face was full of anger. Just as he was about to attack, Wu Sansi secretly pulled his sleeve.

But this answer finally made a person reflect. When he walked out of the door, Fan Lubing deliberately fell behind and whispered: "We don't care, the Empress Dowager is nothing you can tell."

"Fan Jun Gaoyi, but the queen mother is not worthy of being slandered."

Fan Lubing thought for a moment and said, "That's right, but you have been out of this school and have become truly famous in the world since then."

"Famous name is something outside of the body. It is just a minister, so you must be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Otherwise, what kind of morality and character, family virtues, talent and articles can you talk about?"
