Liu Mingzhi raised his wine glass and signaled to Xie Qingtong, then silently put it in his mouth.
"The general will pay tribute to the commander-in-chief."
With a glass of wine in his stomach, Mr. Liu looked at the trembling Xie Yun with a faint smile.
"Xie Yun."
"The grassroots are here."
"You are so smart that your mentor Wanyan Feixiong is full of praise for you. No matter how much trouble you get into, he will help you out in private."
"The common people know their guilt."
"Knowing your guilt? What are you guilty of?"
"Grass people...grass people..."
"Okay, you are not guilty, and there is no need to confess your sins just because you are afraid of my majesty."
"Yes, yes, the common people have realized their mistake."
"Xie Yun."
"His Majesty?"
Young Master Liu slammed the table and looked at Xie Yun, who looked confused, angrily.
"When you conduct experiments in the future, just go to the uninhabited wasteland outside the city and do it. Don't mess around in the Academy of Sciences anymore.
In the past two years, the laboratories of the Academy of Sciences have been bombed three times and burned five times. The losses have been extremely heavy.
In order to repair the laboratory that was damaged by you, Tobu threw about 170,000 taels of silver into it. One hundred and seventy thousand taels of snowflake silver!
Do you know how much practical things can be done for the people if 170,000 taels of silver are spent on the construction of people's livelihood and government?
If your mentor Wanyan Feixiong hadn't interceded for you over and over again, I would have tied you to the torture stake, you little brat, and whipped you for three days and three nights."
"Ah? Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you know all those things? The common people thought that their mentor had covered it up for them!"
"You bastard, how can you speak? As the king of a country, is there something that the Marshal doesn't know?"
"Yes, yes, the child is confused, the child is confused."
Young Master Liu withdrew his gaze and gave Xie Qingtong an annoyed look: "Okay, Xie Qingtong, you stupid young man is just pretending to cover this kid.
Do you think I'm blind? Or do you think I'm stupid? Do you really think I can't see it?"
Xie Qingtong laughed a few times and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, what the commander taught me is that the general knows his mistake and will never dare to do it again.
Marshal, you have a lot, don't be like the general."
"Xie Yun."
"His Majesty?"
Liu Mingzhi reached out and took off a token from his waist, held it in his hand, and then slapped it on the table.
"A man should serve as a soldier. I still agree with what your father said earlier."
Your father is a soldier, so as the eldest son, you can't be too weak. Even if you can't go to the battlefield, you can't be too weak.
You are currently studying in the Academy of Sciences. There is no time for you to go to the military to practice, but you can settle for the next best thing.
Take this token, and five days later you go to meet King Wuyi and the commander of the Imperial Guards Song Qing, and ask him to take you to the Ministry of War to report to the Imperial Guards for the post of Tongchao Xiaowei.
.
After you take up your post, don't forget to give the token to King Wuyi Song Qing and ask him to bring it back to me. If you lose the token, I will want to take your head off, and your father's intercession will be useless."
"Ah? Go to the Praetorian Guards?"
After listening to Mr. Liu's words, Xie Qingtong's eyes showed a trace of indescribable excitement. When he saw his son was still stunned, he raised his hand and slapped Xie Yun on the back of the head.
"Oh, your mother's legs, you idiot, why don't you quickly thank His Majesty for your kindness?"
Xie Qingyun subconsciously used a free hand to cover the painful back of his head. Seeing my fierce look, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Common people, no, no, no, I thank you for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live."
"No gifts, it's just a false position, there's no need to be so excited.
As for whether you can gain a firm foothold in the Imperial Guard in the future, it all depends on your own ability."
Young Master Liu's words seemed to be meant for Xie Yun, but in fact they were meant for Xie Qingtong, who was next in line.
Xie Qingtong seemed to hear the deep meaning in Liu's words. He raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then directly raised his wine glass and gestured to Liu.
"Commander, the last general Xie Qingtong proposes a toast to you. The last general will do it first as a token of respect."
"Okay, let's drink together."
Young Master Liu finished his glass of wine and thought for a moment.
"Qing Tong, since you have been invited to the banquet today for the life-long event of your children, I will no longer hide and tuck you in, so as not to make you run around in vain."
Hearing this, Xie Qingtong couldn't help but swallow a few times. He looked at Young Master Liu excitedly and nervously and gave him a fist.
"The general is all ears, please give me your instructions, Commander-in-Chief."
"Well! As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Since the two children are in love, I will naturally not be the villain who beats the couple.
I am quite satisfied with this boy Xie Yun for the time being, but it is a life-long matter for my little girl, so I will have to wait and see for a while.
Regarding this point, you should be able to understand my painstaking efforts, right?"
"I understand, what the commander said makes sense. As a parent, it is only natural for me to think this way."
"As long as you can understand, let this kid stay in the capital during this period and let me observe him carefully."
"No problem, it all depends on the command of the commander-in-chief."
Young Master Liu nodded lightly and looked at Xie Yun beside him with a smile.
"Boy."
"His Majesty?"
"Whether you and this girl Yiyi are getting married this year, next year, or even longer, it all depends on your own ability. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Xie Yun forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, pretending to be calm and bowed to Young Master Liu.
"Yes, I guarantee with my life that I will never disappoint His Majesty!"
"If you are ambitious, I like ambitious men, so I will wait for the day when you are qualified to marry Yiyi openly."
"I thank you, Your Majesty."
"Qingtong, Mrs. Sister-in-law, we have said everything that needs to be said today, and we have already talked about what needs to be talked about. From now on, we will no longer talk about these things that have been agreed upon. Just eat and drink well."
"The last general takes orders."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for giving Quanzi a chance."
"That's what Xie Yun is doing. Come on, let's have a drink together."
"Sisters, concubines, respect their husbands."
"The general and his wife also toast to your majesty."
"No need to be polite, as long as everyone has enough to eat and drink."
As the sun set, Young Master Liu and Xie Qingtong left Penglai Restaurant in a drunken state, ending the banquet where the guests and guests enjoyed themselves.
Under the care of Qi Yun and other beauties, Young Master Liu drunkenly returned to the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion. The moment after entering Qi Yun's boudoir, the drunk Young Master Liu straightened his body immediately and became completely indifferent.
No drunkenness.
"Husband, you?"
"Husband, it turns out you didn't drink too much?"
"No, you are pretending to be too much like a stinky husband, aren't you?"
"That's right, that's right. The way you stagger every step of the way, I really think you've had too much to drink!"
Young Master Liu moved his neck a few times, took out the jade fan from his waist and fanned the cool breeze slowly, looking around at the ladies around him with a half-smile.
