The Liang Wangfu is very large and magnificent.The night was vast, and although Ren Zhen couldn't see it really, under the guidance of the housekeeper, he shuttled all the way through the tortuous corridor, and still deeply felt the vast heritage of the Liang Wang martial arts.It is said that the wealthy family is as deep as the sea, and compared with this huge palace that is really like the abyssal sea, his blowing water residence is more like a small pond, and it is not a princely style to speak of.He was ushered into the drawing room.The lobby is brightly lit, with the light of the ceiling lights shining everywhere, and countless exquisite decorations are full of light, which looks extremely luxurious.He sat down in the guest seat, looked around at the luxurious arrangement in front of him, and waited for King Liang to come out to meet him.If it is an ordinary magnate in the capital, it is such a glorious thing to invite the hot Blowing Water Marquis as a guest, I am afraid that he would have gone out of the house to greet him in person, how could he hang him alone in the living room and did not show up for a long time.After all, King Liang is the younger brother of the empress, who has been deeply favored for many years, has monstrous authority, and is a real supreme minister.Coupled with his notoriously arrogant temperament, it is not surprising that Ren Zhen dares to be so lazy.This is obviously a dismount, let this new marquis recognize the difference between dignity and inferiority first, and correct his position when he speaks later.It seems that in the eyes of King Liang, the identity of Mr.
Confucian is still not weighty enough.Ren Zhen was not angry, but he became more and more curious, the other party invited him to come, and deliberately made a pie, what did he want to do After a cup of tea, King Liang finally walked in.Wu Jiusi was unusually burly, wearing a cyan silk shirt at random, revealing his strong muscles.His walking pace is not too fast, and because of his tall stature, he gives people a feeling of being a tiger, and naturally exudes a royal bearing.Compared with the short and fat Yong King, King Liang's demeanor is another extreme.After taking the main seat, he glanced at Ren Zhen, picked up a piece of watermelon from the fruit bowl, and asked casually while eating: "Chang'an is still used to living" His voice was thick, as if mixed with a loud sound, and he said an ordinary greeting quite imposingly.Ren Zhen smiled and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the prince, it is quite adaptable." ”But he was a little unhappy in his heart.Whether it is clothing or speech and behavior, King Liang is too wanton to see the slightest hospitality, more like he is asking his subordinates who have been ordered to meet, and he has not even looked at him squarely.King Liang snorted, didn't speak immediately, reached out and picked up another piece of watermelon, as if forgetting that he was a guest.The lobby fell silent.Ren Zhen sat down for a moment and asked, "The prince invited me to come, is there anything to discuss" Since King Liang was contemptuous and deliberately wanted to put up a fight, there was no need for him to be false and wrong, and stay here to see the other party's face.There is no friendship to tell, so it is better to get straight to the point and have something to say.When King Liang heard this, he looked up at him, his thick sword eyebrows raised slightly, he didn't expect him to be so direct, and an indifferent smile appeared on his face, "If it's okay, you can't invite Mr. to have a light meal, it seems that in the eyes of Mr., this king doesn't seem to have much face" Ren Zhen said with a smile that he didn't dare, and said in his heart Let's meet for the first time, and if you put on the posture of the prince, you want me to surrender, if you don't want to give me face, then I will give you a fart face.Seeing this, King Liang got up and said, "Please come to the banquet with me." ”With that, he walked out of the hall.He originally planned to take advantage of the greetings to suppress Ren Zhen's recent exuberance, and after he humbly bowed his head, he would be surrounded by grace and power during the banquet, so why not be able to subdue this new favorite minister and let him obey his orders.However, looking at this situation, Ren Zhen was neither humble nor arrogant, not only did not buy his prestige, but showed a sense of rejection.Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, the matter has come to this, there is no need to continue greetings.After the greetings, the banquet began.The palace did not put on a grand show, but just served some fresh vegetables and delicate dishes, which was quite noble, which made Ren Zhen impressed.The two princes feasted and drank, and the level was extremely high, and King Liang was worried about his heart, so he did not arrange many others to accompany him, leaving only one strategist on the side, responsible for pouring wine and serving.There is a huge round table, two people sitting at one end each, separated by countless dishes, it is inevitable that it will look deserted.However, at this time, King Liang's attitude was much more enthusiastic, and after giving up the original strategy, he not only began to toast constantly, showing the hospitality enthusiasm that the host should have, but also took the initiative to inquire about the customs of Xiling, and even joked, and considered going to Moutai Town to open a cellar to make wine in partnership in the future.Ren Zhen obviously felt the change of the other party, so he was not restrained, chatted with his words, drank three rounds, and the atmosphere in the banquet was much more lively, not as cold as just now.However, the string in Ren Zhen's heart never relaxed, and he secretly beware of the trap in King Liang's words.There is no good banquet, he will never be naïve to think that with the arrogance of King Liang, he will deign to make friends with him, and there must be a plan behind it.Sure enough, after being dazzled, King Liang leaned forward, squinted his drunken eyes slightly, and said with a drunken smile: "I heard that Mr.
Xiao admires Confucian sword practitioners and takes into account both inside and outside, and this king admires it very much."
However, there is a question I would like to ask you face-to-face. ”Ren Zhen held the wine glass and said happily: "Lord Wang, please speak." ”King Liang said: "There is no absolute conflict in the world, and there are only people who oppose each other for the sake of interests.You advocate Confucian sword practitioners, the Great Dao will certainly work, but I want to know, do you really think that if you let them change their skin, they won't pinch it" Before Ren Zhen could answer, King Liang stared at him again and asked: "As long as the people are still there, the problem is still there."
When the problem is in front of you, you have to make a realistic choice.You can really be neutral" Ren Zhen thought for a moment and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean" King Liang paused for a moment and said: "For example, when the scrolls of the talents of the Eastern and Western parties are placed in front of you at the same time, how should you choose, for example, how should you choose between sword cultivation and Confucianism and Confucianism" The example he gave pointed directly at Ren Zhen.After all, Cai Jiushi is from Xiling, and he is a Confucian person, and he has a clear enough position, who knows whether he is fake public and private, so he has reason to question whether Ren Zhen can really be a neutral.When Ren Zhen heard this, his eyebrows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking, but he secretly exclaimed in his heart, this King Liang's eyesight is really sharp, and his words hit the key, how can there be the appearance of the overlord of the capital that is rumored in the outside world.He replied in a deep voice: "Eat the king's luck, and worry about the king."
Since the prince is His Majesty's younger brother, we might as well open the skylight and say something bright, I will only select those talents that His Majesty needs most at present, and I don't really care about their origin and position. ”As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his cup and looked serious, "The proposal of the Confucian Sword initiate is itself worrying about the king.So, it doesn't matter if I'm neutral or not, what matters is that I'll stand by His Majesty's side. ”He didn't believe it, King Liang wouldn't be able to see that he was looking for the empress to go under the steps, and the focus was on using the old generals of the military family, and he didn't care if he was slightly biased.This is his power, and it is also the reward that His Majesty has given him.King Liang nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. is loyal and patriotic, and it is really a blessing for the Northern Tang Dynasty to be able to share the worries of the king."
However, considering that you have been practicing outside the world and may not know enough about the situation in the court, this king is worried that you will inadvertently miss out on those famous pillars. ”Ren Zhen's face changed slightly, and he immediately realized something.Sure enough, King Liang took out a silk book from his sleeve and said with a smile: "A court test, it is inevitable that there will be people who are nervous and play abnormally on the spot, if it is left behind by the people, wouldn't it be a pity, so I think, Mr. should pay a little attention to these well-educated people, and not let them miss the opportunity to serve the court":
