Prime Minister Wang smiled and walked out of the palace with his front foot, and entered the Taishi's mansion with his back foot.Sitting in the flower hall of Taishi's Mansion, looking at Pang Ji's face unchanged and putting the post aside, Prime Minister Wang Cheng smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, oops, this Pang Ji is so stingy, he doesn't even have a good cup of tea.It's hard work Prime Minister.Master Pang said calmly, paused, and said lightly, the painting that the dog sent to the house today, I don't know how to paint it!
That's a great painting!
Prime Minister Wang Cheng cut off Master Pang's unfinished words, and said with a smile, the old man also mentioned it to the prince today, and he wanted to invite the prince to appreciate it together.When Taishi Pang heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, looking at Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister, Ming people don't say secret words, my birthday is a major event related to the prince, and please ask the prime minister to help, please come to my house that day.Prime Minister Wang was stunned, squinted at Master Pang, a major event related to the prince?
What's the big deal with that?
Ten days later, the bluestone street is lined with shops on both sides, flags fluttering high, cars like flowing water and horses like dragons, pedestrians shuttling, faces or smiling or indifferent or annoyed, from time to time there are still voices of horses shuttling in the shouting noisy voices, looking up, the golden sunlight jumps on the red brick and bluestone pavilions.The capital is still as prosperous.Ace, it's time for us to go.The sound beside him made Gongsun Ce come back to his senses, and he turned his head to look at the dark and upright young man beside him, Gongsun Ce smiled and nodded.Although he came to the capital last time, he didn't have a good look at the place where he lived for more than 20 years in his previous life, and now he came for the second time, he inevitably had some feelings.What a pity!
Xiaobai was captured by his brothers.Zhan Zhao suddenly spoke.Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng looked at the sound, and saw Zhanzhao looking at the rock sugar gourd not far away with a look of regret and nostalgia, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but smile, no matter how loud the name of Nanxia in later generations is, Nanxia at this moment is just a child who will look at the rock sugar gourd and miss another playmate.Believe me, Bai Yutang will be back soon.Bao Zheng spoke, with a faint smile in his eyes, but his face was very serious.Zhanzhao's eyes lit up, staring at Bao Zheng tightly, and asked urgently, really?
Brother Bao, you said Xiaobai will be back soon?
Bao Zheng nodded slightly, it should be soon, you just wait.When Zhan Zhao heard this, he smirked, great, he will be able to see Xiaobai soon.Gongsun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao smiling so happily, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he didn't expect Zhan Zhao to have such a good relationship with Bai Yutang, but this is also a good thing.Let's go, we have to go to the inn to check in.Bao Zheng raised his hand and patted Gongsun Ce's shoulder, and said in a soft voice.Well.And at this time, a voice sounded, Lord Bao, Gongsun Gongzi, Zhan Gongzi.Bao Zheng frowned, turned around, and saw two middle-aged men dressed as housekeepers bowing respectfully to them.What are the two?
Bao Zheng asked, looking at the two of them without a trace, and his heart sank, the people of Pang Mansion?
Lord Bao, the villain is the housekeeper of Pang Mansion, and on the orders of my master, he is waiting for the three of them here.One of the middle-aged men said respectfully.Gongsun Ce was stunned, Taishi Pang specially sent someone to wait here?
Our lord invited Lord Bao, Gongsun Gongzi, and Zhan Gongzi to stay in the Plum Garden.Everything is ready.Gongsun Ce couldn't help but look sideways at Bao Zheng, do you want to go?
Bao Zheng listened, nodded slightly, and his expression was flat, so it would be troublesome for the two of them.All right!
If you come, you will be safe, Gongsun Ce sighed in his heart, it seems that this trip to Kyoto is not simple.And at this time in the imperial study of the palace.So, Bao Zheng and the others have already entered the plum garden?
The young gentle man sitting on the dragon chair spoke softly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was gentle, but it seemed to reveal mockery, my father-in-law really couldn't wait.The man in the inner service robe who knelt below and couldn't see his face clearly continued to reply in a low voice, and the eighth prince refused the invitation, but it seemed that he had heard that Master Pang had come to the door in person.The gentle man paused, his tone was very light, Uncle Huang has always been very measured, there is no need to mention this matter, but Mei Yuan needs to pay careful attention, especially Bao Zheng.The little one understands.Well, let's go down.The gentle man waved his hand.The man kneeling below quickly disappeared into the room.The gentle man put down the pen in his hand, gently closed the fold in his hand, and then, the man's eyes fell on the pen holder placed on the imperial study, and gently rotated the pen holder, and there was an obvious drop of paint on the other side of the pen holder blocked by the inkstone.The man stared at the place where the paint had fallen for a long time, and then slowly looked away.In the plum garden, Gongsun Ce looked left and right, and was quite surprised, originally thought that Pang Taishi's territory should be more or less luxurious, but I didn't expect that this plum garden was very quiet, simple and not luxurious.Wow, Brother Bao, look, there are a lot of books here.Zhan Zhao pointed to the bookshelf in surprise, the books on the bookshelf looked good, so profound.Bao Zheng walked to the bookshelf, scanned the catalog, his eyes lit up slightly, there were many rare ancient books.Let me see.Gongsun Ce walked over, glanced at the books on the shelves, and his eyes suddenly lit up, there are really a lot of ancient books!
Gongsun Ce couldn't wait to take out a copy, and just wanted to open it, but was taken away by a hand.Gongsun Ce looked up.Bao Zheng frowned and looked at him, shook the book in his hand, had a good rest, and read it again after dinner in the evening.Seeing Bao Zheng's serious and non-negotiable appearance, Gongsun Ce had no choice but to nod, okay, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Lord Bao was very concerned about his food and clothing.He should have gotten used to it, didn't he?
The residence of the Eight Sages at the same time.The back garden of the Eight Sages King's mansion is full of plum trees, and few people know that the Eight Sages King likes plums, and very few people can come in this back garden.At this time, in the pavilion in the back garden, a handsome and elegant middle-aged man in a white brocade dress with a simple hair crown was slowly drinking alone.Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a majestic face in a navy blue brocade robe walked towards the pavilion, carrying a basket in his hand.Lord Wang, it's a cold winter, even if you drink alcohol, you should go into the house.The man in the navy blue brocade robe said respectfully, his demeanor was very respectful, but his tone was implicitly disgusted.The Eight Sages King looked sideways at the man who strode into the pavilion, frowned and snorted, Pang Ji, you talk a lot of nonsense.Master Pang paused for a moment, then strode closer, put down the basket, took out the small stove and wine, put the small stove into the arms of the Eight Sages King, poured the warm wine and handed it to the Eight Sages King, took the cold wine in the Eight Sages King's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.When doing this, Master Pang's expression was very calm, and his movements were very natural, as if he had already practiced thousands of times.And in fact, for the first time.But these actions have been rehearsed more than a thousand times in Taishi Pang's heart.The Eight Sages King was a little stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses, watching Pang Taishi, who was sitting on his left hand, drinking the wine in his palace, and the Eight Sages King lowered his eyes and touched the hot small stove in his arms.Silence began to spread.Lord, this wine should be drunk while it is hot.Master Pang pushed his full wine glass and whispered, with a unique cold voice and a faint gentleness.The Eight Sages raised their eyes, picked up the warm wine in front of him, and drank it down.Good wine, is his favorite plum wine.Chapter 103 Tanuki for Prince (2) How do you know I'm here?
The Eight Sages King asked, could it be that he, the Eight Sages King's mansion, also had his Pang Taishi's eyeliner?
Thinking about it, he was a little angry, but for some reason, he didn't have the slightest vigilance.Pang Taishi looked at the Eight Sages King and replied in a low voice, because the prince likes red plums the most, once, the prince took me to this backyard once, could it be that the prince has forgotten?
When the Eight Sages King heard this, he lowered his eyes, of course he remembered, he never forgot it, that was when Pang Ji had not yet entered the court as an official, and he and Pang Ji got along most happily during that time, he didn't like other people to come in this back garden, and he didn't even come to the current saint, Pang Ji is the only one now.It's just that what he doesn't know is that Pang Ji knows so much about his liking of red plums, and in the world, he knows that he likes red plums the most, except for his dead father, there may be only one Pang Ji.The Eight Sages King picked up the warm wine that Pang Taishi had poured again, and drank it slowly.My birthday, the prince really won't come?
Pang Ji looked at the Eight Sages King and asked in a low voice, his unique cold voice revealing softness.Why do you knowingly ask?
The Eight Sages King looked at Pang Ji, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a somewhat mocking smile, What is your birthday, your birthday is obviously June.Master Pang hooked his lips and smiled, this sudden smile made the face that had always been indifferent and majestic as if the warm sun was blooming, making the Eight Sages King stunned and distracted for a moment, but then, the Eight Sages King turned his head without a trace.The prince knows that this birthday is done for some reason, and the persecution is too great, so it has to be like this.Master Pang explained in a low voice.The Eight Sages King turned his head and stared at Master Pang, you said that the persecution was too much, and you can't do it, but do you remember that twenty-three years ago, you and I first met, and you once mentioned to me, the history is shameful, and Dan is grateful to the world!
Master Pang looked at the Eight Sages King fixedly, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be a little excited, he spoke in a dumb voice, I thought the prince had forgotten.The Eight Sages King once again quietly avoided Master Pang's fiery and unbearable gaze, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, I have never forgotten.He thought he had forgotten about the events of that year, but he didn't expect it, he just remembered it.Pang Taishi's hand clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, endured it, and slowly calmed down the surging tide of love in his heart, and took a deep breath quietly, Pang Taishi spoke in a dumb voice, since the prince still remembers, then please don't forget what Pang Ji said back then.The history is shameless, Dan repays the world, and when he is born, he returns, and when he dies, he is Sauvignon Blanc.The Eight Sages King was silent for a while, nodded slowly, and then, looking sideways at Taishi Pang, stared at Taishi Pang for a long time before he spoke, you still remember what you said back then, that's good, Pang Ji, I believe you once.Master Pang listened, smiled slightly, raised his hand lightly and gently covered the back of the hand of the Eight Sages King as if it was very natural, and said with a cold and unique voice that was a little soft, the prince might as well believe me a hundred times and a thousand times, if it is the prince, Pang Ji will not be disappointed.Pang Ji's hands were a little warm, the heat was obviously not high, but it seemed to be burning his heart.The Eight Sages King quietly pretended to pull it out carelessly, and touched the small stove in his arms, obviously the temperature of the small stove was a little higher, but it was not as warm as Pang Ji's hand.Pang Taishi was a little regretful, glanced at the hand of the Eight Sages King touching the small stove, Pang Taishi smiled, continued to pour wine, and changed the topic, Bao Zheng has arrived, I arranged them in the plum garden.Plum Garden?
The Eight Sages King remembered the plum garden in Pangfu on the outskirts of Beijing, planted more plum gardens than this back garden, the environment was quiet, the interior layout was simple, and there were many ancient books that he liked.Gongsun Ce is a book lover.The Eight Sages King frowned, thinking about Gongsun Ce, the number one talent in the world, but he loves books, and those ancient books are only afraid that they are cheaper than Gongsun Ce.Master Pang smiled, don't worry, I have already asked someone to pack up the ancient books that the prince likes.The Eight Sages King stretched his eyebrows slightly, raised his eyebrows and smiled, his smile was not as gentle and elegant as usual, revealing a rare stubbornness of pride, he should find a time to take Gongsun Ce to see it, it would definitely be very interesting.Pang Taishi looked at the Eight Sages King's smile that was more real than the gentle smile in the past, and his eyes were soft.At this time, in the plum garden, Gongsun Ce packed up his clothes, looked at Bao Zheng, who was sitting at the table and contemplating, and asked, but are you thinking about the purpose of Master Pang?
Bao Zheng came back to his senses and looked at Gongsun Ce, Master Pang has been an official for many years and has never held a birthday, this is the first time.Gongsun Ce listened and nodded, that's right, in his last life, he didn't remember any birthdays.This is one of the few advantages that Pang Taishi is known to the world, and this is the first time that he does not hold a birthday.Bao Zheng continued, while his fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, and muttered thoughtfully, such a big deal seemed to be publicizing something.This is not Pang Taishi's style.Gongsun Ce nodded approvingly, indeed, although Pang Taishi leaned towards the government and the opposition, he was still quite low-key in terms of being an official or a person.Nothing has happened in Kyoto lately, has it?
Bao Zheng muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.Gongsun Ce walked over and said with a smile, Why don't we take a closer look.After a pause, Gongsun Ce pretended to mention it casually, I remember, it seems that the sacrifice to the sky is almost coming.Worship the sky?
Bao Zheng suddenly remembered something, a little suddenly, and muttered, "Sacrifice to heaven****** you let me go to your birthday, do you want me to accept the ceremony of worshipping heaven?"
The Eight Sages asked abruptly.Master Pang looked at the Eight Sages King, and when he saw that the Eight Sages King seemed to be sure of something, he opened his mouth and said, The prince is too worried.It's just a last resort.The Eight Sages King snorted, put the wine glass on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, I am too worried?
Pang!
Isn't your last resort just that the Holy God forced you to hand over your military power?!
When Taishi Pang heard this, he just smiled calmly, the prince knows the most about military power, right?
The Eight Sages King didn't answer, just picked up the wine glass, and drank it all again, that's right, the matter of military power, the fault is not in Pang's nationality, although now because of Pang's envoy to Liao, the border is temporarily stable, but Liao's eyes are eyeing it, not to be underestimated!
And Pang Tong's soldiers can fight well, not inferior to the Yang family's soldiers, and Pang Ji handed over half of the military power in his hand to the Yang family before, if Pang Ji loves power, it is not right, but it is natural for Pang Ji's power to make the saint scruples.If the saint wants to deal with Pang Ji, that is what the emperor must do.You should know that sooner or later it will happen.The words of the Eight Wise Kings were very sudden and inexplicable.But Pang Ji heard it clearly, he just smiled, his smile was a little self-deprecating, sooner or later, it was useless to think about it.The Eight Sages King put the wine glass on the table heavily, brushed his sleeves and got up, if it didn't work, he would think of something useful!
With that, the Eight Sages strode out of the pavilion with a small stove in his arms.In the dead of night, Bao Zheng stood outside the wing room of the plum garden, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the moonlight outside like water.It was late at night.Gongsun Ce walked out of the wing room with the book in his hand, looked at the night outside, and spoke softly.Well, I'll sleep later.Bao Zheng said.Are you still thinking about Master Pang?
Gongsun Ce frowned and asked.Well.Bao Zheng responded, and then said in a low voice, I always feel that there will be some trouble.Actually, I've always thought that Master Pang would invite us here because we were useful to him.Gongsun Ce guessed that after all, in his previous life, he and Bao Zheng had never been invited by Master Pang.I think so too, but what kind of use is this useful?
Bao Zheng twisted his eyebrows and said.
