Chapter 616: The Banquet of Unity
It was windy and snowy outside, but it was warm inside.
Wang Dun took off his clothes and asked the maid to serve a bowl of cold rice and a small jar of wine.
Everyone in the circle knows that after taking the powder, the heat and poison will rise, so you must take the powder in time. Otherwise, "five poisons attack the mind" and "either death or disability".
There are many ways to disperse.
Walking around. But there is a risk here, that is, you may not be conscious when walking, and you may take off your clothes due to the heat. Therefore, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, scholars often ran naked on the streets. You think it was performance art to vent their depression, but is there anything? Is it possible that he is walking away?
This trend continued into the Tang Dynasty. But no one ate Wu Shi San anymore at that time, because people found that this stuff was harmful to the body, weakening body functions, destroying IQ, reducing fertility, etc. There were many harmful effects, so Xing San in the Tang Dynasty was really just a habit. , said "walk".
Wang Dun’s way of relaxing does not rely on walking. He mainly takes off his clothes, drinks cold wine, and eats cold rice.
At this time, after he took the cold meal, he drank three times, five divided by two, and finished a bowl directly - he had been at the banquet all afternoon, and it was strange that he was actually hungry after drinking and eating.
After finishing the cold meal, he drank cold wine again, and drank two large bowls of it in succession - scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties liked drinking, which was very famous throughout history, because this drink can numb the nerves and relieve the depression in the heart. , and it is also an indispensable thing for walking.
Zhou Wei's eyelids jumped as he watched from the side, and he hurriedly advised: "Zhu Zhong, slow down, slow down."
In the past, when Pei Xiu was forty-eight years old, he died suddenly after taking powder and drinking cold wine. . He was really worried that Wang Dun would just pass away and never wake up again.
Wang Dun was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just asked: "Did it spread out?"
"How could it be so fast?" Zhou Wei said with a smile.
After distributing it, it’s no longer interesting.
Uncle He Ping (He Yan) once said: "Taking Wushi Powder is not only for curing diseases, but also for feeling cheerful."
The specific manifestation of this "spiritual cheerfulness" is excitement of spirit, qi and blood Ruddy, Zhou Wei's face was not as red as before after half the effects of the medicine had been taken, but he was still a little energetic.
If the effect of the medicine wears off completely, your face will look pale, so it is said that this product has a whitening effect.
Zhou Wei waited quietly for the tour to be over.
Suddenly, music sounded.
Zhou Wei and Wang Dun went out in search of fame, but saw a group of dancing girls entering the stage to perform.
Seeing that Zhou Wei was fascinated, bystanders said softly: "The person in the middle is Mr. Tao's concubine. Whenever he meets distinguished guests, he will come out to perform dances to entertain the guests."
< br>Zhou Wei nodded slightly, still watching intently.
"This woman has a graceful figure. Look, she can turn her waist to the ground and hold the hosta on Tao Shiheng's banquet." Wang Dun also became interested. After putting down his drink, he was amazed.
Zhou Wei looked at the dancer's soft body, which was bent like a bow. There were two fleshy mounds on the bow arms, trembling, and he suddenly couldn't control himself.
Just hearing a "crash", Zhou Yi had already stood up, and he had taken over all the cases.
"Bo Ren, sit down." Wang Dun quickly grabbed him and scolded him softly.
Zhou Wei woke up a little. He glanced at the dancer again and sat down reluctantly.
"What do you want?" Wang Dun had a guess in his mind and asked deliberately.
For a long time, because Zhou Wei was very talented and learned, Wang Dun unconsciously felt a little inferior when he saw him. Over time, his mind became distorted and he was filled with jealousy.
At this time, seeing Zhou Wei making a fool of himself, he suddenly felt happy.
Are you stupid if you can't control yourself? Ha ha!
But when he felt the baby in his crotch that showed no signs of waking up, he sighed secretly and began to hate Zhou Wei even more.
Zhou Wei may still be a little confused. When he heard Wang Dun's question, he subconsciously replied: "I want to have sex with this girl."
The voice was quite loud, and the guests couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. , even the master Tao Kan smiled, waved his hand, and asked the red-faced concubine to retreat.
Seeing everyone laughing, Zhou Wei reacted and laughed himself.
After being subdued, he became like a bird, all etiquette, justice and shame were gone, and people turned into beasts. They became normal again - History: Zhou Wei and Director Wang went to someone else's house as a guest, and the host sent his concubine out. As she was singing, Zhou Wei couldn't control himself and stepped forward to grab the girl. He wanted to have sex with someone else's concubine in front of a full hall of guests, "showing her ugliness and showing her shameless face", so he took out the girl.
"Bo Ren has a true temperament." Tao Kan, the governor of Xiangyang, raised his wine bottle from a distance and took the initiative to relieve the siege.
Zhou Wei knew that he was Meng Lang and raised his glass in return.
A storm has subsided.
Wang Dun looked at Zhou Wei and then at Tao Kan, feeling angry in his heart.
Tao Kan, Gan Zhuo, Zhou Fang and others led the army to put down Du Tao's rebellion and made outstanding achievements. They once competed for the position of governor of Jingzhou, but in the end they were defeated by Wang Dun and failed.
Of course Wang Dun could feel their vague hostility, but he didn't care.
My Langya Wang family is so noble, no matter how talented you are, you have to hold back for me.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was that these people respected Zhou Wei very much and thought he was very talented, so they made many friends with him.
Seeing such a scene, Wang Dun couldn't help but secretly made up his mind to kill you all if he had the chance.
Perhaps in order to cover up the embarrassment, the discussion about the Hebei war report that had just been received was quickly discussed during the dinner.
“Wang Pengzu comes from a well-known family and his reputation is famous in Beizhou. In the end, he was plotted by a villain and fell into the dust. It is really sad.”
“Who plotted against Wang Pengzu? I heard that there was Is it true that the Zaotai Chan of the Changshe Zao family has indeed betrayed Wang Pengzu? Unfortunately, Zao Daoyan (Zao Ju, the father of Zao Song) is beautiful in appearance, good in diction, and good in description. She is so beautiful and has the demeanor of a gentleman, but the son she gave birth to is such a bear. ”
"Helping Shao thief to do things, sincerity is helping the tyrant to do evil." "It's pitiful!"
Everyone talked about it. After sighing, they all drank a round of wine, and the atmosphere became even more intense. It's hot.
As you know at the wine table, the more enthusiastic the atmosphere, the less serious the words.
I don’t know who mentioned it: "I heard that the thief Shao was a good woman. He went to Youzhou. Can Jun's wife Cui be kept innocent?"
"Haha!" Everyone said again laughing out loud.
Zhou Wei also smiled from ear to ear.
Wang Dun looked a little ugly.
He thought of Sima Mao, who actually gave birth to a child for Shao Thief? !
It would have been better if I had died in Qingzhou, so as not to embarrass me. It's a pity that this cheap maid has some skills, which actually allowed her to stabilize the situation and finally returned to Luoyang successfully.
To be honest, Wang Dun would rather his wife be kidnapped by thieves than have her give birth to a child for Shao thieves.
This thing made him so uncomfortable.
"The Shao thieves have captured Youzhou and are very popular. If they are not safe in the future, they will go south. We still have to be prepared." Tao Kan, as the master, guided the conversation and said.
"Don't worry about Shiheng." Xu Shi felt guilty, and Zhou Wei said: "I have resettled all the refugees from Guanxi gathered by Chu Zhong in Nanjun. There are also Du Tao's descendants and Bashu refugees. I have given him a farm and a house. After next year's harvest, there will be no shortage of food and silk, and all the war equipment will be ready. I will not miss you."
When Tao Kan heard this, he was happy and said, "Bo Ren is here, I will come back." What’s the worry?”
This is not an exaggeration.
Zhou Boren was addicted to alcohol and often took powder. He didn't have too many sober days. But as long as he is awake, no matter how difficult it is, he can handle it properly for you. This is his ability.
So man is a very complex animal.
Zhou Boren had to have other people's concubines in public. He often stayed awake for several days when drinking, but this did not prevent him from being an official and doing good things. Although he later had a "three-day servant shooting" The nickname is to work no more than three days in a row.
"Shao Xun is a thief in the country and must not be let off easily." Wang Dun suddenly slapped the case and said loudly: "Don't worry, Shi Heng, I won't make Shao thief proud no matter what. Soldiers, food, equipment, No matter how difficult it is, everything will be prepared for you. You train the Lu division in Xiangyang, I go to Jiangling to control the floods, and Boren collects food and grass in Jiangxia to train and prepare troops. Sooner or later, Nanyang will be captured."
When Tao Kan heard this, he immediately stood up and thanked him.
Not long after he took office in Xiangyang. As soon as he arrived at the government office, he asked someone about the previous war.
The Mianbei shogunate, controlled by the Shao thief, gathered tens of thousands of men, besieged Xiangyang, and retreated in defeat.
The direction of Xiangyang also sent troops to attack Xinye, but they were also repulsed.
This front is almost frozen.
Tao Kan has great confidence in the Jingzhou soldiers, because they have experienced brutal wars since the Zhangchang Rebellion and are not a ragtag group that collapses at a stroke.
The soldiers and horses brought by Wang Chuzhong to quell the rebellion were mainly from Jiangzhou. They were the remnants of the Jiangxi Jiangmen Group, which had the most martial virtues in the entire Wudi. They served as the backbone and joined with the local soldiers in Jingzhou to train them up and down. After a while, you can become a strong soldier.
"Over there with King Langya..." someone said with worry.
"You have to squeeze out some money, food and equipment." Wang Dun stretched out his hand to stop the man from talking and said, "If it doesn't work, I will ask for it from the top."
Don't look at it The combined population of Jiangdong and Jingzhou exceeds five million, but most of them have nothing to do with the Jianye shogunate. They cannot receive money, food, or manpower, so they can only watch. Everything needs to be discussed, and if the wealthy family disagrees, there will be insufficient food, wages, equipment, and soldiers. This is the most head-scratching thing.
Fortunately, Jing and Xiangzhou were not as serious as Jiangdong. He and Zhou Wei could still play a considerable role. This may be the greatest comfort.
"Thief Shao comes from a humble background and is a thief who steals the country. If we let him continue to be proud, there will be no good end for us." Wang Dun concluded: "Fortunately, things have not reached the point of no return. . The Shao thieves still have strong enemies in the north. Under attack from the north and the south, they can do well in one or two years, but they will be exhausted in ten or eight years. Then this will be their chance."
Zhou Wei and Tao Kan. The others nodded secretly.
In fact, on the premise of guarding the gate and stabilizing the position, they constantly harassed Henan, consumed the Shao thieves' soldiers and supplies, destroyed their crops and mulberry trees, and echoed the Huns in the north.
Unfortunately, Shouchun and Xuzhou may not have the determination of their Jingxiang Group, and most of them will work but not contribute, so there is nothing they can do.
But Shao Thief defeated Shi Le and Liu Yao and captured Youzhou. The movement was not small, and even vaguely scary.
This may make Jianye more alert and provide more funds to support the Northern Expedition.
But—oh, forget it, it’s not very likely.
I heard that fortresses and shipyards have been built along the Huai River in the Jiangdong area, and soldiers have been stationed there. They look like they are defending and being beaten. How can we expect them to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition?
To be honest, counting on those people, it is better to hope that Shao Thief will die on a woman's belly one day. Civil strife in the north is more reliable.
"Drink!" Zhou Wei no longer thought about the troubles, picked up the wine bottle and advised.
Tao Kan sent another concubine to sing: "Who is not beautiful in spring, but when autumn falls..."
The singing voice is gentle and the appearance is pretty.
While singing, the concubine came to Wang Dun in a graceful manner when she saw Tao Kan’s eyes signaling.
Wang Dun smiled and waved his hand, looking unfeminine and awe-inspiring.
Zhou Wei was not polite and took the concubine into his arms. After playing with it for a while, he laughed loudly and pushed the concubine into the arms of another guest, letting her molest her.
For a while, the atmosphere became warm again.
Like an outsider, Tao Kan quietly watched the guests in the hall and sighed inaudibly.
In order to do something, you must first please these people, how difficult it is.
