Looking over the messy tables, he saw that Yan Zhen's face was already shiny with food, he was chewing meat in his mouth, and he was holding a chicken drumstick in his hand, looking like he was devouring food. Chen Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.
When Gao Jin and other scholars saw how ignorant this man was, they also looked at him angrily.
Yan Zhen acted as if nothing had happened, and kept shouting: "The food will be served quickly, I am not full yet."
After saying that, he knocked on the table again and sang like a sigh: "The Changchai is back! There is no fish to eat!"
At this time, Chen Yu couldn't help but said in a cold voice: "This dish contains more delicacies from the mountains and less from the sea. Naizhou Mu specially ordered it considering the local customs of our state. If Yan Jun likes fish, I will prepare a special one for you tomorrow."
, How are you doing?"
Xuzhou faces the sea to the east, and Xiapi is crisscrossed by rivers. Fresh seafood from rivers and seas is actually not rare. Even poor people can often eat shrimps and fish. In view of this, Wang Zheng specially prepared some game poultry to show his hospitality to guests.
representation.
In Chen Yu's view, Yan Zhen's behavior can no longer be described as arrogant and arrogant, and it is even more ignorant of good and evil!
He was concerned about his status and did not reprimand him directly, but Gao Jin on the side immediately started scolding him.
"What a madman, how dare you be so arrogant in front of His Holiness!"
Yan Zhen ignored him and didn't even look at him. He just focused on attacking the case and singing loudly.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and someone from Pengcheng, who was also from Pengcheng, was afraid that if Wang Zheng outside the courtyard heard this, not only would Yan Zhen be severely punished, but it might even implicate them, he hurriedly stepped forward, pulled his sleeves, and softly tried to persuade him.
Yan Jin still ignored him, closed his eyes and raised his head, crossed his legs and put them on the table, shook his head and pondered: "Even the ancient Duke of Zhou can't do it?"
"Donghai kid." At this point, Yan Zhen raised his eyes to look at Gao Jin and sneered: "Do you know who was the last person to receive such a compliment?"
"What a coincidence, that person's surname is also Wang!"
If the first sentence was still half-hidden, the second sentence was almost straight to the point. Before the words were spoken, everyone in the hall changed their expressions!
Who else could have the surname Wang and had a relationship with Duke Zhou?
Of course it’s Wang Mang, the most rebellious person in history!
The so-called Duke of Zhou feared the day of rumors and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp it. In the first half of his life, Wang Mang's personal image can be said to be a truly perfect and perfect man. He was humble, self-denying, honest, honest, polite and virtuous, and possessed almost all human qualities.
Therefore, no matter in the temple or in the alleys and fields, people all over the world at that time were full of praise for Wang Mang. Situ Chen Chong even went out to praise Wang Mang's merits and said that he was more virtuous than all previous generations.
Saints, naturally including Duke Zhou.
But what happened next?
However, Wang Mang usurped the throne and took the country of Han into his own pocket.
When Yan Zhen mentioned Wang Mang at this time, he was referring to Sang and Huai, and he was referring to Wang Zheng.
After all, who is Wang Zheng’s identity when he started his career? Who in the hall knows?
There are even rumors that "Wang Zheng is a descendant of Wang Mang" are already floating around.
For a moment, everyone looked at Yan Zhen in a strange way. He was really looking for death.
Yan Zhen looked at it, but showed no fear at all.
He never thought of accepting Wang Zheng's order to promote talents, but it was Zhang Zhao who added his name on his own initiative. The two had a close personal relationship, and even strictly speaking, Zhang Zhao had a favor for him.
Under the circumstances, Yan Zhen had no choice but to give in and came unwillingly.
However, the dissatisfaction accumulated along the way. After entering Xiapi, he was surrounded by flattering words and became even more contemptuous. He felt that the ugly behavior of people like Gao Jin and his subordinates had really lost the face of Xuzhou scholars.
It wasn't until just now that after seeing Wang Zheng's deliberate methods to win over people's hearts, Yan Zhen couldn't suppress his hatred anymore. In addition, he was not good at drinking, and he only drank half a cup. At this time, his head was hot, so he simply used the power of alcohol to burst out without asking.
Got it!
"It's neither early nor late. Wangzhou Mu Pian came over during the meal. Is it unintentional? Is it intentional?"
"If it is intentional, what is the intention?"
"Are Zhou Mu planning to imitate Zhou Gong or Wang Mang?"
"No matter who it is, since we are the people we are shepherding, how can we not cooperate? How dare we not welcome it? It's time to continue to eat and drink well, and let the state pastor wait a little longer. If God is kind, it will snow again.
Wouldn't it just help Zhou Mu spread a good name to the world? Do you think so?"
"I've already thought of a name, how about calling me Wangmen Lixue? Hahaha..."
Amidst the wild laughter, Gao Jin blushed, but he no longer bothered to defend himself with the scholar. He turned to Chen Yu and said, "Sir, that's not what Jin meant!"
Yan Jin's words were heart-breaking. They were tantamount to scolding Wang Zheng as a treacherous and hypocritical person who deliberately chose a good time to show his kindness to everyone. He was not afraid of death but Gao Jin had not lived enough, so he dared to talk to him.
Everyone in the hall was also shocked, the legs of the timid ones were trembling, and the hearts of the bold ones could not help but pounding.
Everyone knows that Wang Zheng is young, and a young man must be very energetic, how can he bear such an insult? All the scholars from Pengcheng immediately attended and bowed down: "Yan Zhen is too drunk and speaks lies, please
Sir, don’t be on the same level as him.”
This was not just a plea for mercy, the Pengcheng scholars were more afraid that if things got serious, Wang Zheng would turn his anger on them.
Of course they knew that Wang Zheng was outside the hospital at this time and might have heard what he said in the hall, but after all, they were still taking a chance. If they couldn't hear it and Chen Yu reported it, then maybe the matter could be minimized.
It's been uncovered.
Chen Yu was also startled by Yan Zhen's last few words. He had seen a lot of crazy things, and this was the first time he was so careless about life and death. He was about to scold him, but suddenly he heard a faint sonorous sound outside Tang.
The sound suddenly made my heart skip a beat.
Is this the sound of a sword being unsheathed?
It’s broken! Did Zhou Mu hear this?
Thinking of this, Chen Yu looked at Yan Zhen again, with only one thought left in his mind: "This man is dead!"
Chen Yu, who was old and frail, could hear this sonorous sound, not to mention the other young people in the hall. Their voices immediately stopped, everyone was silent, and they did not dare to take a breath. Some people were infected by the atmosphere, and they were instantly stunned in this yellow sky of the twelfth lunar month.
Suddenly he started to sweat profusely.
Chen Yu sighed and said to the pleading Pengcheng scholars: "Everyone, please get up, Yan Zhen. I see that you are also a person who has read poetry and books. Don't you know that disaster comes from the mouth? If you admit your mistake.
..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zhen laughed loudly, picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it all in one gulp, shouting happily: "Good wine! Good wine!"
"It's a pity that this is the wrong place to drink." With his drunken eyes, he counted people with his halberd and said, "How many of you do you still remember? The last time we drank together here in Xiapi, it was only a few years ago."
"Everyone is full of pride, and when they talk, they all say that they should be loyal, abide by the principle of modesty and retreat, and do our best to help the Han Dynasty! This situation and this scene are vivid in my mind!"
"Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye..." Yan Zhen cried bitterly, burst into tears, looked up to the sky and laughed: "This territory of Xuzhou is no longer owned by my big man, and falls into the hands of bandits. He is crowned like a monkey, just like a human being.
Yeah! Haha, haha."
"Yan Zhen!" At this time, Chen Yu couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Zhou Mu is the Xuzhou Mu who was appointed by the emperor. He has made outstanding achievements many times and was given the title of Marquis Liyang!"
"How dare Shu Ru make such treasonous remarks? He must be punished for his crime!"
At this time, the other scholars all had the same thoughts in their minds.
This crazy life is doomed today!
Not to mention that Wang Zheng was outside the hospital, and even if he didn't hear it, Chen Yu would never dare to hide it again after these words came out.
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone turned their heads. Except for Yan Zhen, who was crying and laughing, and acting wildly, no one spoke a word. The air was filled with a strange and suffocating atmosphere.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and a soldier walked in with his steps.
He put his hand on the handle of the knife, looked around the whole place expressionlessly, then naturally fell on Yan Zhen, and then walked away.
Seeing this scene, Gao Jin was secretly happy, and Bu Zhao secretly sighed. The other scholars were either gloating over the misfortune, or their faces turned pale.
In the almost stagnant air, another burst of footsteps sounded, slight and rustling. Everyone turned their eyes hurriedly, and saw two more maids appearing at the entrance of the hall, holding a closed wooden plate and approaching, following closely behind them.
The soldiers followed.
What was on the wooden plate? Everyone paid attention to this for a while, and most of them looked at a loss. Only Gao Jin and Bu Zhi immediately thought of something, and their expressions changed at the same time.
impossible?
How could Zhou Mu (this son) be so generous and tolerant?
The soldier walked up to Yan Zhen first and stared at him with cold eyes for a long time. It was not until the maid came closer that he took the wooden box numbly and lifted the lid directly. Steam suddenly rose up, covering all the things.
People's sight is even more fragrant, making people salivate.
"This..." Yan Zhen was also stunned and became speechless for a moment.
"The general heard that your husband likes to eat fish, so he specially ordered the chef to make a new one." The soldier suppressed his murderous intention and said in a loud voice: "I have been told to tell you that the fish meat is tender but prickly, so you must be careful when tasting it."
...
The guards on the side only saw the calm expression on their general's face, but no one noticed that at this time, Wang Zheng's palms, which were covered with his hands behind his sleeves, were tightly clenched until they turned white.
Since time travel, has he ever been so angry?
It's Guo Jia, Yu Jin, who kept famous generals and celebrities for future generations, put his warm face on him, even if he didn't respond, he wouldn't be so rude, right?
Yan Zhen?
What cats and dogs dare to be so presumptuous?
In the biting cold wind, he felt hot all over, and every word that came out of the hall was like a knife cutting into his heart.
If he wasn't angry at Yan Zhen, he behaved wildly and called for wine and fish. Such was the custom in the Han Dynasty that talented people were generally unruly. Isn't Mi Heng a ready example?
He was not even angry at Yan Zhen because he had a big heart and called him a thief and bandit scornfully, saying that he was crowned like a monkey.
Loyal ministers and righteous men are not cute but respectable. At that time, Xu Xuan was even loyal to Cao Cao, but he obstructed and sabotaged him at the critical moment of his development. Wang Zheng finally gave him the last dignity and respect, and that was why.
All enemies must be killed, but some enemies deserve a certain amount of respect. This is the bottom line and principle of his royal government.
But he really couldn't bear those heart-breaking words from Yan Zhen.
He did come here late at night to win people's hearts, but as heaven and earth can tell, he really didn't choose this time specially.
The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his subjects and the death of his subjects. As Yan Zhen continued to talk more and more, all the soldiers around him were furious. The captain of the personal guard even screamed, unsheathed his long sword, raised the tip of the sword to the ground, and knelt down.
He said angrily: "General, please give the order to kill this madman!"
Dozens of guards unsheathed their swords and knelt down. They all said in one voice: "General, please give the order to kill this madman!"
In the firelight, the sharp blade reflected the cold air, and even more murderous intent ripped through the cold night and shot straight into the sky.
Among the several civil servants who came with Wang Zheng, Zhang Zhao happened to be among them. From Yan Zhen's first words, he knew the other party's identity. He originally wanted to ask for mercy, but as Yan Zhen continued to speak, he became more and more presumptuous.
At this time, Wang Zheng's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but Zhang Zhao's courage was melting away. At this time, except for regret, he had no other thoughts.
On the contrary, Xu Fang directly came out to persuade: "There is no need for the state pastor to be angry. The ancients said that a capable king must have ministers who are not summoned. Yan Zhen, a little wild boy, a chicken and dog-like thing, if he kills
He, in turn, made him famous. Fang thought that it would be better to leave this man with a humble life, so that the scholars and even the people of the world would know about the lord's generosity, benevolence, and sincerity in seeking virtue."
Hearing this, Wang Zheng glanced sideways at Xu Fang, and after a while, he smiled casually: "That's right, this person is indeed a crazy person."
"A arrogant and upright man speaks unscrupulously, just to attract attention. Why should I be angry about this ordinary thing?"
"But it's rare for a scholar to have such bloody courage." At this point, he smiled and said, "Go to the kitchen to see if the fish is ready? Serve it up when it's ready."
Then he pointed to the guard captain: "Send it to you personally."
...
After watching the captain enter the hall, Wang Zheng looked up at the sky with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
He never expected that when he was discussing matters with Zhang Zhao, Fang said that the people in Pengcheng were already stable. In the blink of an eye, a madman from Pengcheng slapped him hard in the face.
You know, he hasn’t eaten yet!
Under the blessing of the system, Wang Zheng's physique is certainly far superior to ordinary people. It doesn't matter if he doesn't eat for a few days. However, food is not only necessary for survival, but also for food and appetite. Wang Zheng is not an ascetic. He is good at everything, just seeing it all.
He knows that the road he is currently on is extremely dangerous. Even if he has the help of the system, he can be willful occasionally, but after all, he cannot act recklessly.
Therefore, Wang Zheng asked himself whether he had restrained his nature enough and tolerated others.
Such painstaking efforts are not known or understood by such scholars, but they still judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
This made his heart surge with murderous intent, and he wished he could tear that severe person apart with his own hands!
but...
After thinking about it, I realized what Xu Fang said made sense. This man had only one life, and whether or not to kill him was just a matter of a thought. However, if he killed him, it might destroy the currently good situation.
Although it was satisfying to chop him off with a knife, didn't Gu'en Shiyi also be convinced of the pretense that the other party said?
If word of this spreads, Wang Zheng will not be afraid of being scolded, but his own status makes it extremely difficult to recruit wise men. If there is another negative impact, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?
So his thoughts went back and forth a thousand times, and finally Wang Zheng made a decision after reminding himself countless times.
I will endure!
Bear with it for now!
When he fell into deep thought, everyone on the side did not dare to speak out.
After a while, the captain of the soldiers came back and called several times before waking up Wang Zheng.
"Huh?" Wang Zheng looked sideways: "Did you send the fish over?"
The soldier captain nodded.
"Then let's wait for another hour." Wang Zheng looked around and said, "Let that mad man eat and drink well before we go in."
"Here!"
In the end, Wang Zheng not only let Yan Zhen go, but also respected his opinions. At the New Year's Day ceremony the next day, Wang Zheng did not force and agreed to all the few scholars, including Yan Zhen and Bu Zhi, who did not want to attend.
.
Now that you have made a gesture, then make a gesture.
