The brightly lit Wenyu Palace.

The great official of Ximen stepped into the hall. Under the plaque in the middle of the hall, Zhu Youjian sat high above, and behind him was an old eunuch holding a wine pot with a wooden face.

On both sides of Zhu Youjian’s table, four long short-legged wooden tables were placed, and one person had already kneeled in front of the table.[]

There was also a table in the opposite position to Zhu Youjian, but it was empty, obviously for the official Ximen.

Behind each table, there is a little palace maid serving him.

Before Ximending entered the hall, Zhu Youjian was the first to scold: "My dear Ximen, what should I be punished if you ask me to wait for you for a long time?" But his face was smiling. It was not a question of the crime. It was clearly telling everyone here: This young man is my confidant. I am willing to wait for how long, so you can do it.

"The emperor forgives the crime, but only blames Weichen for being a ignorant. He lost his way after not walking far from Duan's palace. He made the emperor and you all wait for a long time. I am really sorry. I will punish myself for three cups in a while." The guy walked in casually, with no apology on his face, and he said with a smile.

All the eight people in this seat are in high positions, which is by no means accidental. The ability to observe words and expressions is naturally very strong.

Seeing the two of them answered in this way, they stood up one by one and looked at Ximending, wanting to see who this person is, and I can't even dare to be so awesome.

When they looked at Ximending, Ximending naturally looked at them curiously, and wanted to see what roles his father-in-law introduced to him.

The first person on the left was dressed in civil servant uniforms, about fifty years old, with a clear and energetic face, and a humble appearance, but he had a sense of arrogance in his bones, which was quite a bit like he didn't even see the world.

The man who was the leader of his head was also a civil servant, about 40 years old, slightly fat, but his smiling face showed a flattering look.

But his attack was a middle-aged man in regular clothes. He was thin and had a sluggish expression, but his eyes showed excitement and excitement.

The last one on the left was a slender and handsome young man. He was not wearing an official uniform, and he was wearing a black green robe, making him look more and more handsome. At this time, his expression was calm, but he could not hide his curiosity when he looked at Ximending.

Looking at the right position, the first person sitting in a red military officer uniform with lion-painted lions, was obviously a first-rate and second-rate military officer. He was about fifties, not tall and slightly obese, but his white and clean face had a kind smile, and he looked very elegant. However, deep in his eyes, he showed panic and anxiety from time to time.

The one sitting on his right hand was actually wearing a military official uniform with a red lion embroidered pattern. He was of medium size, but had a big waist and a round waist, and looked very burly. His face looked like heavy dates, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his sides of his face and his chin were covered with curly beards, like long black needles, glued on them.

Sitting next to him, he was wearing a red Qilin suit, embroidered with a spring knife on his waist and hips, tall and tall, and powerful. He was the boss of the Jinyiwei and Xia Kexiong.

The last one was a thin military officer. He looked at his official uniform with a tiger painted on his body. The third-rank official position was also quite good. Although he was looking at Ximending at this time, he was obviously a little absent-minded and thoughtful.

"Okay, dear friends, don't stare at me anymore. Just sit down quickly and let me introduce you to you." Zhu Youjian waved his hand with a smile.

Of course, Ximending didn't know anyone. He nodded slightly to everyone with a smile, then walked to the empty table, sat down, and crossed his legs.

Everyone was stunned when they saw him sitting cross-legged, but Zhu Youjian had no objection, so they all pretended not to see him, and they knelt down one after another.

Seeing that everyone sat down and looked at themselves, Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "My dear friends, I have a banquet to summon you today. I have a few things to talk to you. The first thing is to tell you that I have used a group of spies in the inner city. Spyders, who can patrol and arrest, and anyone in the Ming Dynasty, who is incompetent in the emperor, and who is incompetent, will commit crimes from the people..." As he said, Zhu Youjian saw that all the beloved officials were all

He looked shocked, and couldn't help looking at Ximending, then pointed to Ximending and said, "This Ximending is a secret spy with the code name 007. Because he relieved many hidden worries for me, he investigated many crimes of rebellion and dealt with them decisively. He can be said to have made many great achievements. Ximending is not only both civil and military, but also well-versed in state affairs. I have appointed him as the crown prince's tutor and participated in the government affairs as an important official, so that he could go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian picked up the wine cup in front of him with both hands and bowed to Ximending and said, "All my dear friends, come on, let's pay a cup to Ximen's dear friends together. I hope that the secret agent of Ximen will continue to perform his duties and make new contributions to the people of the world and to the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty and the people!"

When Lao Zhu said this, everyone present was shocked, but also envious, jealous and hated. However, no matter what kind of mentality, they all quickly brought the glass to Ximending to toast.

The Grand Official Ximen did not expect that his father-in-law would introduce himself so grandly. He felt very satisfied, but naturally he would not show any suspicion of favor on his face. Instead, he quickly stood up with the cup, looked flattered, and bowed to Zhu Youjian: "Any achievements made by Weichen are inseparable from the emperor's wise leadership, and the emperor's usual teachings to Weichen, this glass of wine... Weichen to you!" As the guy said, he tilted his neck and dried the wine.

The wine cups at that time were quite big, and this wine cup was bigger than those at Wang Xuan’s Duwei’s Mansion, which was as big as two or five.

However, the wine used by Lao Zhu is not as good as the Dongyang wine that Wang Xuan took out. It is extremely spicy when you eat it. It seems that Lao Baigan is 65 degrees. This guy is very drunk. He drinks it in one sip and is immediately choked and coughs.

Ximending flattered Zhu Youjian, Lao Huai, looked at the guy's embarrassing look and laughed: "I didn't expect that Ximen Aiqing was so happy to drink. It turns out that those who can do everything. Okay, I will have this drink with you!"

How can anyone else do it now?

It doesn’t matter what you can drink. If you can’t drink, you can only secretly scold this guy for pretending to be poor for flattery. He will choke you to death!

Old Zhu was obviously very good at drinking. After a sip, his expression remained unchanged. He reached out and stroked his beard and smiled: "I haven't drunk so much for a long time. My dear friends, we will not be drunk and return tonight, and no one is allowed to leave the seat midway..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "Wow" sound. The civil servant in the left head opened his mouth and sprayed out the strong wine in his mouth. His face turned pale in an instant, and he also coughed continuously. The slightly fat civil servant sitting next to him quickly got up and comforted him on his back.

"Uh... Zhou Aiqing, I know you are not good at drinking, so you can drink slowly, why are you so anxious?"

"Ahem...Weichen...hem...hem...hem...hem...hem...he has always been unwilling to be the queen..."

"Haha... I'm not willing to be the queen, so I'm not willing to be the queen... Zhou Aiqing, I'll allow you to do what you can, drink if you can, and not drink... I'm not forced to you." At this point, I waved my hand at Zhou Aiqing and said to Ximending: "Ximen Aiqing, this Zhou Aiqing, whose name is Yanru and whose courtesy name is Yusheng, is the chief minister of the cabinet of my dynasty. I'll listen to the teacher in the world. You should also ask your teacher for humility in the future."

Damn, drinking is just like drinking, and it has nothing to do with his mother serving the emperor. This flattery is a masterpiece. I can't accept it. I really have to ask for advice humbly... Well, it turns out that I am the prime minister of the dynasty and also serves as the director of personnel. No wonder the skill of flattery is so pure and pure... Humph, I am Zhu Youjian's direct leadership, but it's not your turn to give me performance assessment, and it's not your turn to take care of it. You look noble and arrogant and fool others, but I... I won't miss you!
