Chapter 20 The Way of Hospitality
Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng were smart people. They immediately climbed along the pole and said loudly: "Gongsun Gui, Yang Sheng was ordered by the King of Liang, congratulations to the Prime Minister and congratulate the Prime Minister!"
"Get up and talk!" Zhou Yafu returned the greeting, and the two stood up.
Zhou Yafu did not invite the two of them into the mansion, but looked at Zhou Yang and waited for Zhou Yang's idea. Zhou Yafu knew that Dou Ying was talking about the simplest and most effective way of self-protection, but Zhou Yang had different opinions, so he had to figure it out before he could decide.
"Father, please invite them into the house." Zhou Yang did not say the reason.
Zhou Yafu pondered for a moment: "Please, two sirs!"
Dou Ying clenched his right hand into a fist, exerting too much force, and the back of his hand turned a little blue. He sighed and kept shaking his head. Although he was surprised, he couldn't imagine what would be better than directly bombarding him.
"Thank you Prime Minister!" Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng thanked him and followed Zhou Yafu into the mansion.
Zhou Yang made a move and Liu Tie came over. Zhou Yang muttered in his ear for a while. A strange color flashed in Liu Tie's eyes. He stared at Zhou Yang for a long time before leaving quickly.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Gongsun Gui ordered: "Come on, present the congratulations given to the Prime Minister by King Liang. Prime Minister, this is a gift list, please check it out." He took out a piece of silk and presented it to Zhou Yafu with both hands, which was extremely respectful.
"Open!" Yang Sheng ordered, and the servants opened the cage with all their might.
Gongsun Gui raised his voice and reported the gift: "A coral in the East China Sea is three feet tall and two feet wide. It shines brightly at night, better than a pearl. This is bought by King Liang for a high price, please accept it with the Prime Minister."
"Wow!"
A sound of surprise sounded from the court officials.
A three-foot-high coral tree was placed out. Although it was under the scorching sun, its light was still so clear, not at all under the sun, but not as fierce as the sun. This is a rare coral tree in the world, how can it not be amazing?
The officials were not only surprised, but also admired them, and many people swallowed hard.
"Three hundred East pearls, five hundred pairs of white jade, ten thousand pounds of gold, hundreds of titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium titanium ti
The gifts given by King Liang exceeded the sum of the gifts given by all officials, and even Zhou Yafu received far less rewards to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Zhou Yafu kept pulling the corners of his mouth, and the texture on his mouth became clearer, and he was also surprised.
Seeing the surprise of all officials, Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng smiled across the corners of their mouths. The heavier the gift from King Liang, the more Liang's favored Zhou Yafu, the more suspicious Emperor Jing, the greater the harm it would be to Zhou Yafu.
It's time to take the last move. Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng looked at each other and nodded slightly. Yang Sheng took out a letter and presented it to Zhou Yafu with both hands: "Prime Minister, this is a congratulatory message written by King Liang for the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister knew that King Liang was very good, and many scholars in the world attached to King Liang. This congratulatory speech was personally drafted by King Liang. It can be written by King Liang. It can be written by King Liang. It can be written by the King of Liang. The Prime Minister is also asked to read it and know it with you, and celebrate with joy and celebration!"
Sima Xiangru was just sent to the Liang Palace, but his reputation was not very prominent, and not many people knew it. Gongsun Gui took the conversation and introduced Sima Xiangru: "Sima Changqing's original name is Xiangru, a native of Shu County, is very good at belonging to the literature. His literary talent is outstanding, and Mei Cheng believes that he cannot pass it, and he highly respects it."
Mei Cheng was the literary master at that time, and was famous all over the world. Everyone knew that he was not as good as himself. How could Sima Xiang wait? This aroused the curiosity of everyone, and many people urged: "Prime Minister, read it quickly! We are willing to listen to famous works in the world!" He was dressed in a tidy manner, and listened quietly. Good articles require good attitude.
Zhou Yang was thinking: Sima Xiangru actually joined King Liang's command. So, will the love story of "taking the same case" happen again? If it happens, when will it happen?
Zhou Yafu was dissatisfied with King Liang, and had to admire his method of recruiting scholars. Even Mei Cheng and others depended on him. Although Sima Xiangru had never heard of it, he must not be bad. He was also curious and spread the letters in a few seconds. If he didn't look at it, he would have had it. After seeing it, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly put the silk into his arms.
Dou Ying was careful and found that Zhou Yafu was trying to calm down. His right hand, which reached into his arms, shook slightly.
Zhou Yafu's hands held the military talisman and carried troops to fight against the Wu and Chu rebels; holding the seal of the prime minister in his hand, he managed the political and civilians. When did he send it? There must be something strange about this letter!
"Prime Minister, why don't you read it?"
"This is written for my mother. I want to go to the couch to read it to my mother." Zhou Yafu tried hard to speak steadily, but he was still a little trembling and very unnatural.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
An official discovered Zhou Yafu's abnormality and asked.
"It's excitement, it's excitement! Changqing's article is well written. I haven't seen it in my life. I'm excited and excited!" Zhou Yafu hurriedly made a lie.
Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng looked at each other and smiled, and they were very proud. For Zhou Yafu, this letter must not be read in public, so he could only put it away. However, King Liang had other arrangements for this letter. Once it started, Zhou Yafu would be unable to defend himself and wait to confiscate the family.
"Sir, please come into the house to worship tea!" Zhou Yafu Qiang was frightened and rushed to Gongsun Gui, and Yang Sheng bowed.
"Father, I'll come to entertain the two sirs." Zhou Yang took the lead: "Please, please!"
The two of them thanked him and followed Zhou Yang into the house. Both of them were smart people and easy-to-mouthed people. They flattered Zhou Yang while walking. Gongsun smiled strangely and said, "Young Master Zhou is a talented person, and he deserves the reputation of Xiao Song Yu!"
"Where, where!" Zhou Yang was perfunctory.
"Haha!" Yang Sheng smiled and flattered Zhou Yang: "Young Master Zhou is rare in the world, and Yang Sheng admires it very much. Even if Zhi was left alone, Mr. Zhou can help himself to solve this strange case. With such talent, it is impossible to not accept Yang Sheng."
As soon as he mentioned this, Zhou Yang was furious and said coldly: "Thank you for your kind gifts, I will give you twice as much."
The murder case of Zhou Yang was clearly instructed by King Liang. The two were the left arm and right arm of King Liang, and they had nothing to do with them. Zhou Yang glared at them fiercely.
Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng laughed secretly, but they looked like they didn't dare to take it and said socializing.
Zhou Yang did not lead the two of them to the hall, but walked through the hall and kept walking in. After walking for a while, he did not stop. Gongsun Gui frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhou, where are you taking us?"
"You two are distinguished guests, so of course you will take you to the best guest room." Zhou Yang was serious.
"I dare not take it! I dare not take it!" The two of them were even more happy and followed Zhou Yang. You are really cheap! We almost took your life, but you were so polite. Isn't this cheap?
"Language!" A majestic horse neighed.
Yang Sheng frowned: "Young Master, is this a stable?"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Mr. Yang said it well. This is the stable. Those who are as vicious as those of you are worthy of staying in the stable. You are not kind to come here this time. It is better to say that it is a disaster for us than giving gifts, right? Humph, your thoughts are so beautiful! Please, please!"
