After Fan Ning's repeated persuasion, Yuan Yuezhi finally reluctantly raised the wine glass.
"You are indeed good, but I am not sure."
Fan Ning was slightly startled, but then he soon understood.
"Things like that are impossible to predict. Who knows what will happen in the future? It's just a lucky word."
It turns out that there is indeed a happy event in Lao Fan's family recently.
One of his son's concubines is really pregnant, and she's about to give birth! Fan Ning only found out recently, and it's all because of his terrible daughter-in-law.
Since she is a concubine, she is not marrying a matchmaker. Her daughter-in-law does not allow it, so she can only live outside. Fan Ning's precious son is not a worry-free person. He has been completely free since he can live in his own house. He not only has one concubine, but also has one.
again and again.
There were so many concubines that the father didn't know which one was right and he couldn't keep track of them. He couldn't figure out how many women he had hidden outside the house.
So, there is such a fish caught in the trap.
If there hadn't been an accident suddenly and the child was born early, Lao Fan might still be in the dark and look for it everywhere with a hexagram book!
"I think that boy Zhiyuan does have some abilities. Otherwise, how could he even be able to count the fact that there is a baby about to be born in your family?"
Yuan Yuezhi poured and drank by himself, looking quite lonely like that.
"I think so too, but the situation you and I brothers are in now is quite embarrassing. Boy Zhiyuan is so capable now. Do you think he can still tolerate us?"
Obviously knowing that Yuan Yuezhi didn't want to mention Wang Mi's matter, let alone involve it in the court, Fan Ning still brought the topic back.
After all, this was his purpose for meeting today.
"If you ask me this, I naturally can't give you an exact answer, but I won't hate it anyway."
"After all, I am quite interested in dealing with Wang Gong. Although Wang Zhiyuan has not taken action yet, I know that in the end, he will definitely not live in peace with Wang Gong."
"At that time, it's my turn to take action." At this point, Yuan Yuezhi was quite confident and a little arrogant.
A good man also needs three gangs. To deal with the enemy, of course Wang Shilang cannot be left to work alone.
In the end, it would be better for Lao Yuan and others to take over.
"Having said that, I think we should be more proactive. You see how busy Zhiyuan is. The threshold of the palace is almost crossed. If we don't take the initiative, we may not be able to see each other for a long time.
he."
"Isn't this delaying things?" Compared to Yuan Yuezhi, Fan Ning is a more cheerful person. Of course, this also shows that he is not very smart to a certain extent.
Once you think about it, it comes out.
With his thick skin, if no one stopped him now, he could stand up immediately and rush to the palace.
What's the point?
Isn't it just embarrassing?
It’s not like I haven’t lost it before, it’s just a trivial matter!
"If that's the case, then why don't you go to the palace today to join in the fun? I think Zhiyuan won't shut you out even if he doesn't see anyone else."
"That's not me..." Fan Ning chuckled a few times, and in order to cover up his embarrassment, he simply lowered his head and ate his food.
"I can't compete with them."
"I've never been good at this."
Yuan Yuezhi looked sideways at Fan Ning from head to toe and thought to himself, this time the old man actually told the truth.
When it comes to competition, Fan Ning is indeed no match.
He is old and weak, so if he is like this, even if he is given a chance and thrown into a crowd, he will probably be squeezed out.
There is absolutely no chance of winning.
"Since you can't do it, don't worry. I believe that Zhiyuan will never forget the two of us."
"When the time comes, he will naturally find us to discuss important matters." Although Yuan Yuezhi was very confident in what he said, that was not what he thought in his heart.
Otherwise, his face wouldn't be so ugly.
Obviously, today is different from the past. Today's Wang Shilang can be regarded as a person with his own team and is the absolute leader.
Originally, he needed to win over some ministers in the court as backup to plan big things.
However, now, it is obvious that this is no longer necessary.
The generals in Jingkou are enough for Wang Mi to deploy and use, and there is no need to rely on the power of ministers in the court.
What's more, those people are indeed more suitable.
First of all, those generals in Jingkou usually experienced fighting and killing, and they were still young and simple-minded.
At least, they are much kinder than the giant Buddhas in the Jin Dynasty.
Secondly, he is a companion who has fallen into a pit. It is a life-or-death relationship, very ironclad.
This relationship is almost unbreakable, at least at this stage it is completely trustworthy, which is much more reliable than these ministers in the imperial court.
This is an innate advantage, but no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to compare.
At this point, Yuan Yuezhi has a much longer-term perspective and is much more thorough than Fan Ning. However, it is obvious that Fan Ning is not so pessimistic.
"You're just irritating me, why can't I do the same?"
"I dare say that if Zhiyuan meets someone today, it will be me and not anyone else!" Fan Ning straightened his back and looked very proud.
Looking at the table, the originally full wine jar was already more than half empty. Fan Ning's drinking capacity has never been very good.
But he didn't expect that at that small moment when Yuan Yuezhi didn't notice, he drank so much quietly.
You know, Lao Yuan himself didn't drink much, he was not interested at all.
Perhaps this is because people feel refreshed during happy events. After all, Fan Ning now regards Wang Zhiyuan as a god and thinks that he is a very capable person.
Wang Shilang had already said that his new-born baby would definitely achieve great things and be famous for generations to come. Of course Fan Ning had to believe it.
He was convinced!
So, when I drank a little wine, one cup after another, it was very enjoyable.
If you drink too much, the consequences will naturally show up. Originally, with Fan Ning's personality, you could never count on him at this time.
Just like his nickname, he will only glide away gently like a fish so as not to cause trouble for himself.
No one can count on him, and there is no way they can count on him.
However, this time it was different. Originally, Yuan Yuezhi had no intention of relying on Fan Ning. He was actually not in a hurry.
The group of them is now dispersed. Brother Guobao has been destroyed, Sima Daozi has also ascended, and only the two of them are left.
To be honest, without Sima Daozi's power in the court, the two of them really don't know where to start to show their value.
I was just talking casually, but I didn’t expect that Fan Ning would actually rise!
This is really an unexpected surprise.
Lao Fan really rose up this time. He didn't just sit here and chatter, he even stood up and walked out with empty steps.
"Don't stop me, I will definitely see Zhiyuan. Just wait, I will take care of you. I will not forget you."
Listening to Lao Fan's various irrelevant remarks, Yuan Yuezhi felt very guilty while supporting him.
Good guy!
This old man, can he do it?
If you go to the palace like this, I'm afraid you will be beaten out by the servants of the palace before you even enter the gate!
"Ayu, I think you should go back and rest today!"
"There's no need to rush this matter. It won't be too late to discuss it some other time."
At the critical moment, he actually wanted to back down!
Lao Fan turned around, broke away violently, and threw Yuan Yuezhi aside.
"Why?"
"You don't dare to go, do you think I don't dare to go either?"
"Don't underestimate people!"
In this way, the two people pulled and staggered to the door of the restaurant. At the door, the Fan family's ox cart had been waiting there. Seeing Fan Ning like this, several boys smiled bitterly.
You can't drink but you still have to drink every time. In the end, isn't this what you end up with?
Once this person is drunk, he is really energetic.
Although Fan Ning is usually timid and has a weak tone in everything he does, once he gets on the head, he is like a bull, with great energy.
Yuan Yuezhi is no match.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lao Yuan immediately grabbed a young boy from the Fan family and warned: "Your husband has drunk too much. Send him back quickly and take good care of him."
The boy had already wanted to do this, and quickly took Lao Fan from Yuan Yuezhi's hand. The two of them worked together, one grabbed Lao Fan's feet, the other lifted his noble buttocks, and stuffed him inside.
In the car.
Watching Lao Fan leave, Lao Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally sent it out, it almost caused a disaster!
If Lao Fan is sober, he may still be trustworthy, although he is often joking and has a thick skin.
However, it is still very clear what should be done and what should not be done.
Once you are drunk, this is no longer guaranteed.
How can outsiders know the current situation in the palace?
Wouldn't it be even more lively if Drunk Lao Fan was sent to the door again?
However, Lao Yuan, who was sighing endlessly, could not stop Lao Fan. He was pushed into the car by two boys. Lao Fan couldn't hold himself back and hit the car window with his whole head!
The whole thing is solid!
Fan Ning, who was still a little drunk just now, suddenly woke up. He suddenly became energetic and energetic!
"You all listen to me, I am going to Prince Langya's Mansion!"
"Ignore that big-headed Yuan Yuezhi!"
The boy on the shaft of the carriage shook his whip as hard as he could and hurried on, hoping to take the old man back before Fan woke up.
Unexpectedly, despite all calculations, he still couldn't catch up, and Lao Fan still woke up.
What else can be done?
How can they, who are just servants, disobey the master?
He could only shake his head and ran to the other side with the bull's head.
Cow, cow!
You really don't live up to expectations.
It's all the fault of the cow, it ran too slowly. If it had been replaced by a horse, it might have rushed back to Fan Mansion long ago, and there wouldn't have been these troubles!
Unfortunately, a cow is still a cow, and it cannot turn into a horse. Once you break the whip, its speed can only be that way.
Therefore, the group of people could only follow Lao Fan's request and make a complete turn.
Lao Fan is going to come to your door to cause trouble!
On the other side, Wang Shilang, who was still unaware of this situation, had just freed himself from his wife's gentle arms, freshened up his clothes, and finally felt much refreshed.
The dust and dust along the way were finally washed away, and Wang Shilang suddenly felt refreshed. General Wang, who was galloping on the battlefield and killing decisively, retreated into his shell.
After returning to Jiankang City, Wang Mi washed away all the dust from his life and regained the bookish air of a humble young man.
Transformed back into Wang Shilang!
This is naturally better.
For Wang Mi, it is necessary to curb his sharpness now. Few of the dignitaries in Jiankang City have really seen his majestic appearance on the battlefield.
They still don't know that today's Wang Shilang is no longer the weak scholar he used to be. Maybe they also feel that after all, after winning so many battles, one must have real ability and cannot always rely on luck.
The trick of showing off your fists and embroidering your legs simply won't work on the battlefield.
However, these people still had no real feelings for Wang Mi's ferocity. They would not have imagined how decisive and ferocious Wang Mi was who killed the enemy general with his own hands.
If they had seen him like that, I believe that even Wang Gong and Wang Aning would have immediately raised their hands and surrendered, let alone some minister who secretly wanted to cause trouble.
I don’t want to hold the position of Prime Minister or the uncle of the country. I will serve as an official and go home immediately. It is a great blessing to be able to save my life!
Isn't this good?
Wouldn't it save more time and effort to scare them all away without any effort?
no no!
Of course not!
Major things have not yet been accomplished, and the foundation of the Northern Expedition still needs to be consolidated. At such a critical moment, you should never make enemies for yourself.
Not to mention more new enemies, but also those old enemies and sworn enemies, such as Wang Gong. As long as he can maintain it, Wang Mi will do his best to maintain it.
In fact, it wasn't just Wang Gong that he took a fancy to. More importantly, it was Wang Zhenying who was standing behind him.
On the surface, it seems that Wang Gong single-handedly supported his sister. If he had not tried his best to send Wang Zhenying to the palace, this girl would not be where she is today.
However, the past is the past and the present is the present.
Now Wang Zhenying seems to be defending Wang Gong and showing weakness to Wang Gong, but that is actually because he is the brother and she is the sister.
If there was no such order of brother and sister, Wang Zhenying would definitely have a different look now.
In fact, in terms of power in the court, Wang Zhenying now actually stands one level above Wang Gong.
As long as there is Wang Zhenying's will, it is not difficult to command the ministers. As for Wang Gong, without the support of his sister, it will be very difficult not to say command the ministers, but to control a few people.
If there is an idiom that can describe the current relationship between Wang Gong and Wang Zhenying, it is that the fox pretends to be the tiger's power.
Obviously, Wang Zhenying is the mighty big tiger, and Wang Gong is just hiding behind Wang Zhenying, pretending to be very imposing.
In fact, without Wang Zhenying's support, Wang Gong would be nothing at all. On the contrary, without Wang Gong, Wang Zhenying, the Queen Mother, could still continue to be the Queen Mother.
Just because her position as Queen Mother did not come from the support of her family, but because her husband died, she was given such an opportunity.
Over the years, Wang Zhenying has strictly abided by her duties in the harem. Although she and Sima Yao had many grievances, she did not violate the palace rules.
It has a good reputation among both the government and the public.
