The banquet set up at Cheng Ruhai's home, Minister of Criminal Justice, was mainly for Li Xu and others to wash away the dust.
Cheng Mansion was filled with festivities, and Li Xu sat on the seat next to Cheng Ruhai to accept congratulations from his colleagues.
"Master Li has done such a thing at such a young age, and he has a bright future ahead."
"It's not for you to say this, it is counted when it comes from Mr. Cheng's mouth."
Everyone was talking and laughing.
Li Xushi was Su Huai's disciple. After entering the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he helped everyone complete several cases. The Ministry of Criminal Justice was also repeatedly rewarded by the imperial court. This time, many officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice had the opportunity to be promoted after passing the examination. Everyone was really happy.
So most people have a good impression of Li Xu.
"The imperial court will naturally reuse such talents." Cheng Ruhai looked at Li Xu with a smile on his face.
Li Xu immediately served a toast to Cheng Ruhai, and everyone at the table also drank with him.
Someone drank two more glasses and said with the strength of the wine: "It's just a pity that Master Li couldn't go to the banquet in the palace. It's more or less unfair."
Cheng Ruhai shook his head: "The emperor wanted to reward the soldiers who had returned from victory. Naturally, our officials from the Ministry of Punishment cannot go there."
"There is nothing to go, I heard that the banquet ended early.
It was said before that the emperor would reuse that General Song, but now it seems the reward has not come, can this General Song lead the troops again"
The man stopped suddenly when he said this, and just kept shaking his head. He was obviously not completely drunk and still had scruples.
These words aroused everyone's interest.
"How to say?"
The person who spoke looked at Li Xu: "Lord Li, you came back from Changzhou. You must know the affairs of Changzhou better than us. Was that General Song seriously injured in Changzhou?"
Everyone looked at Li Xu.
Li Xu raised his head: "It's not uncommon for soldiers to be injured in battle, so it's not surprising."
The man seemed a little disappointed when he heard this, but he immediately remembered something: "But I heard that the bandits captured by Mr. Song on the way to Beijing are also very vicious on weekdays. If Mr. Song is injured, how can he take them personally?" Surround those bandits?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Someone finally couldn't help asking.
The man looked around and saw that Cheng Ruhai didn't stop him, so he lowered his voice: "I heard that Mr. Song didn't attend the palace banquet. It's not a relapse of the old injury, but another reason."
"What's the reason, tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."
"Such news will spread throughout the capital tomorrow, so what's the use of hiding it."
"Yes, let's say it quickly."
The man couldn't bear the crowd's flattery, so he said: "The Empress Dowager gave Miss Xu a lot of rewards a few days ago, it was because she wanted the Zhang family to marry the Xu family. When Miss Xu arrived in the capital, she went to see her daughter-in-law on the way. She was caught by the son of Anyihou, beat her up, and was forced to wear a woman's dress, and sent to the Yamen as a bandit.
How could the Zhang family lose face and give up? In order to appease the Zhang family, the emperor ordered Song Chengxuan to push back the Xu family's marriage. Song Chengxuan finally climbed up such a big tree as Anyihou, so naturally he refused to agree, which made Longyan furious. was kicked out of the palace. "
Hearing these words, Li Xu frowned slightly. These words sound untrue, but there are some parts that should be true. The emperor does not want Song Chengxuan to marry Anyihou. The emperor must hold the general power in his own hands, the power in the hands of generals It can't be too big, otherwise there will be trouble.
Although Anyihou has not led troops for many years, he has some reputation among generals and nobles.
When he was in the north, he had heard that the stability of the northern border was due to the relationship with the Marquis of Anyi. Many generals in the northern border were promoted by the Marquis of Anyi, so that the Zhang family still did not control the entire northern border after many years in the north. In order to be able to protect those generals and give them a place, An Yihou has been fighting with the Zhang family in the court.
On the surface, the generals in the northern border had no relationship with Anyihou, but they would certainly be grateful for Anyihou's kindness in private. If Anyihou wanted to move, someone would definitely respond.
Fortunately, Anyihou has no intention of leading the army these years, and the son of Anyihou is a dude, so the emperor has less suspicion of Anyihou.
But now Anyihou wants to marry the Song family. Song Chengxuan is brave and good at fighting. He was loved by the soldiers when he was in Quanzhou, and he became famous in Changzhou. Without the relationship left by Anyihou, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and it will become a disaster in time.
Such a trade-off,Actually, if he wanted to use Song Chengxuan, he had to block this marriage.
Before Song Chengxuan entered Beijing, he also thought about this in his heart, but he still did not give up, which shows that this marriage is bound to be won.
Li Xu couldn't help but see the scene of Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan standing together. The interests of the Anyi Hou Mansion are worth Song Chengxuan's risk. Song Chengxuan also has some affection for Miss Xu, and now that he is frustrated, it doesn't mean he has no chance to take over Changzhou. .
After what happened today, who else would dare to take up a post in Changzhou?
Song Chengxuan, a general who has made great achievements, ended up like this because of the revenge of the queen mother and the Zhang family. Unless it is the Zhang family's party, I am afraid that few people have the courage to recommend themselves.
Li Xu's eyes flickered slightly, Song Chengxuan had already regarded Changzhou as something in his pocket.
"Lord Li."
Li Xu raised his wine glass to drink with everyone.
"If it were me, I wouldn't dare to marry that Miss Xu."
"No matter where you go, there are cases. Today, someone died in Jiashan's Princess Palace This young lady is a bad star."
"I think you are drunk," Cheng Ruhai said with a bit of reproach in his voice, "Take him to sober up, so that you won't be speechless."
The banquet is almost here.
Everyone took this opportunity to get up and leave, Li Xu walked out of Cheng Mansion and walked towards Li's house on foot.
I don't know how long I walked.
"You can't drink enough!" A familiar voice came.
Li Xu raised his head and saw Xu Qing'an.
? Xu Qingan, Qi Defang, Huang Qinghe and three people walked towards each other.
"This is Master Li," Qi Defang saw Li Xu first, "Do you want to have another drink with us, Master Li?"
"He won't go," Xu Qing'an said with a smile, "Master Li must be busy with business."
Qi Defang and Li Xu greeted each other, and Li Xu said, "Where are you guys from?"
"The Xu family," Qi Defang said, "the Xu family has hosted a banquet, and we can count it as a congratulations when we go over."
Li Xu looked forward, and it turned out that the Mansion of Marquis of Anyi was not far away, and he walked here unknowingly.
"Master Li," Xu Qing'an said, "If you don't go with me, we'll go first." It's impossible for Li Xu to go to drink with them, he was so polite, and then everyone parted ways.
"I happened to have an errand, so I have nothing to worry about," Li Xu looked at Xu Qing'an, "Since we met here, I'll join in the fun."
When Li Xu really came, Xu Qing'an immediately restrained his smile.
