Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 70
Wei Zheng and Yu Chigong stepped forward curiously, and then followed Luo Bin's example, dipping a piece of mutton into the dipping sauce to eat.

"This mutton is extremely soft and tender, and it feels warm all over after eating it." Wei Zheng couldn't help but praised: "This hot pot is really a good thing."

Luo Bin smiled, and then brought up a big jar of peach blossom drunk, "Come, let's eat with wine."

Dou Yinger's eyes gleamed when she saw Taohua was drunk, Luo Bin smiled and handed Dou Yinger a bowl.

"This hot pot needs to be eaten with more people, it will be lively." Luo Bin laughed after drinking a bowl of wine.

After several people ate for a while, Yu Chigong suddenly picked up the wine glass and got up, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said to Luo Bin drunkenly: "Marquis Wu, I respect you with this bowl of wine."

"I have seen countless people in my life, but I have never had a few people I really admire, and you are one of them." Yu Chigong shook slightly, and continued: "From the time you were in the army to guide the universe, this old man has obeyed you." .”

"Later, when you were not afraid of power and recklessly rescued Mr. Wei and some of the former prince's colleagues, I respected you even more."

"Now, because of an ordinary commoner, you sent the cousin of the current queen to the guillotine with your own hands. This kind of courage is even more admirable to me, Yu Chigong."

Speaking of this, Yu Chigong sighed again and then smiled self-deprecatingly, "I, Yuchi Gong, have been in the army all my life, no matter how many generations the monarch has changed, I will only focus on fighting."

"Although I don't follow the crowd, I know that I don't have the spirit of the Marquis to avoid causing trouble." Yuchi Gong put the wine bowl together again, "The Marquis's authenticity and freedom make me envious. This bowl of wine, I Here’s to you!”

Hearing this, Luo Bin stood up, clinked a cup with Yuchi Gong, and drank it down in one gulp, "General Yuchi is lying."

"Your Majesty is humble." Wei Zheng also stood up and said to Luo Bin: "Since I was rescued by the Marquis from the death row because of the former prince's imprisonment, I, Wei Zheng, have determined to be a qualified counselor and will never be involved again. To participate in any court disputes is only to speak out for the injustice of the world."

"But even so, the old man recognizes the friend of Lord Hou. If there is any use in the future, the old man will definitely die."

Luo Bin was stunned when he heard the words, and then a warm current flowed through his heart, he smiled lightly and said, "Master Wei is too serious, I saved you at the beginning only because Master Wei is a very upright and good official in my Tang Dynasty. I just learned about Guoxing, I never thought that one day I would ask you for something in return."

"Similarly, I don't want to burden you with this matter."

Luo Bin frowned slightly, his eyes complicated.

After all, even without his help, the Wei Zheng in history would not have died, and he would still have become a famous figure in power.

"As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant, and I treat Lord Hou as a confidant. This is a blessing, so why talk about burdens?" Wei Zheng smiled, then looked at the wine glass and said: "Well, let's not talk about these, Do one first."

"Okay." Luo Bin responded, and drank it down again.

Dou Yinger, who was seated, looked up at Luo Bin with complicated eyes, and then smiled sweetly.

After all, it is normal for a person like him to be admired.

Thinking in this way, Dou Yinger smacked her lips, and suddenly felt that the officials of Datang were not all that annoying, and the three in front of her were quite cute.

the other side.

Changsun Wuji got the news from the spies that Wei Zheng and Yu Chigong were going to Luo Bin's house for dinner, and immediately got up and entered the palace, ready to participate in Luo Bin's fortune.

After all, in Li Shimin's heart, Luo Bin has already made great achievements, if there is any suspicion of enveloping courtiers, Li Shimin will definitely be more afraid of him.

Li Shimin was slightly startled when he saw Changsun Wuji, "Why are the auxiliary machines here? Isn't today a day of rest?"

"Your Majesty, I have just received some news. It is of great importance and I have to come." Changsun Wuji leaned slightly towards Li Shimin, frowning.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Li Shimin straightened his body, and then asked.

Changsun Wuji pursed his lips, "The minister's spies came to report that Wei Zheng and Yu Chigong went to Luo Bin's mansion together to have a good time."

"It's just drinking among colleagues, it's okay." Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently, and then said.

"Your Majesty, this matter is no small matter!" The crease between Changsun Wuji's brows deepened.

"Let's talk about Wei Zheng first. He was originally the remnant party of the former prince. He was released because of Luo Bin. Now he is an admonishing doctor."

"Wei Zheng is old-fashioned and stubborn. He will definitely feel that Luo Bin's life-saving grace is greater than heaven, and the master he followed before died at the hands of His Majesty. Now, is he really loyal to His Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji did not bluntly say that Wei Zheng had ulterior motives, but used a rhetorical question, which made Li Shimin think.

"Let's talk about Wei Chigong, he was the one who should have killed Li Jiancheng at the Xuanwu Gate, but was stopped by Luo Bin in the end. I think the relationship between these two people may not be normal."

Changsun Wuji smacked his lips and continued: "These two people are both civil and military, and they have a very close relationship with Luo Bin. If Luo Bin really rebels one day in the future, then..."

Li Shimin lowered his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and then waved his hands, "Wei Zheng is old-fashioned and extremely strict with the old rules. I don't think he will do anything to offend Datang in the future with his temperament."

"And even if he can do it, with Wei Zheng's current power in the court, it is not a concern at all."

After all, Wei Zheng was a subordinate of the former prince, and he was controversial in the court, and not many people were willing to join him.

"Besides, this Yuchi Gong is an old minister. He has always been stable. At such an old age, he must not have the time to think so much."

After all, both the left and the right are courtiers, so who is not a courtier?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin pursed his lips slightly, and then said: "Assistant machine, I know that your uncle and aunt's incident has brought you a lot of blows. You should have a good rest during this time. I sent Hou Junji to the official department a while ago. The department can also help you some."

These words are to tell Changsun Wuji not to always be idle and have nothing to do, but to always pick bones from eggs.

How shrewd is Changsun Wuji, he immediately heard Li Shimin's implication, and immediately frowned and said: "Return to Your Majesty, although I am in a bad mood these days, I am in good health and can still take care of the country."

"As for General Hou, he also has a lot of government affairs, so I won't bother him."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, then waved his hand and said: "In that case, the auxiliary machine should go back and take a rest first."

"By the way, the queen is also in a bad mood these days, and she often cries secretly. If the auxiliary machine is fine, go and accompany her."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin also frowned helplessly.

"Yes, I'm going to comfort the empress right now."

After saying this, Changsun Wuji turned and left.
