The earthworm fever was very strong in the spacious hall. I felt cold when I walked outside just now, and I started to sweat after coming in for a while.
Xiao Han wiped the sweat from his head, followed Chai Shao and raised his hands to the people in the room over and over again, but did not call them by their official positions.
Anyone with a gray beard is called uncle, and a person with a black beard is called eldest brother. The titles are neither close nor distant. Although Chai Shao is a little unhappy, Xiao Han calls freely and people are willing to listen. In this way, everyone is happy!
Chai Shao was in the military attache system, so the people he met were naturally mostly military attaches, and military attachés like Li Jing were gentle and gentle, and there were still only a few people who looked like wise generals, but there were quite a few who looked like bandits, without saying anything. , come up and give me a big pat on the shoulder!
So after half a circle, Xiao Han felt that his shoulder was no longer his.
Just when Xiao Han felt that he was going to be beaten to death here, there was a commotion at the entrance of the palace. It seemed that a big shot was coming. A bunch of generals here were busy saying hello. When Xiao Han saw it, he quickly took this opportunity to grin. caressing the numb shoulders.
These old gangsters! I'm not familiar with you, so why do you have to pat me on the shoulder? Hurry up and make a spiked waistcoat! Let you take enough pictures at one time!
But this is just a thought. If he really did this, Li Yuan would probably tie his hands into a sieve before doing so...
Standing on his feet and looking at the crowd of people at the entrance of the palace, Xiao Han moved his head and said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, is this what you call famous? I feel like everyone treats me like a Duobao boy. Do you want something after a sentence?"
Chai Shao laughed and whispered to Xiao Han: "Get used to it, get used to it! Besides, Xun Gui's family! Isn't it normal to ask for something from your own family?"
"Normal? Is this normal?" Xiao Han stared, looking very innocent.
Chai Shao blushed, looked around, then stretched out his hand to take off Xiao Han's hands from his shoulders. He looked around and said, "Ahem, why is it abnormal? It's not for nothing. Isn't it true?" Come buy gold and silver!
Also, stop touching your shoulders! Is it that exaggerated? This is how our nobles behave on weekdays. This is because they like you. If they don’t like you, they won’t even bother to talk to you! Even if you have great things, others won't hesitate to ask for them. Boy, you can see clearly that all of our people have this temper. They can beat and scold you in person. We are definitely not the ones stabbing you in the back! "
"If you don't ask for it, I think you can just do it..." Xiao Han replied depressedly, but he believed what Chai Shao said at the end. Compared with civil servants, military attachés at this time were indeed much simpler, perhaps because of the chopping. People are used to hacking, and their first thought for everything is to use the knife. As time goes by, they no longer have the interest to use their brains to harm others.
Chai Shao was unhappy and looked at Xiao Han with a frown: Why does this person like to tell the truth? How can this be good?
Xiao Han didn't pay attention to Chai Shao's strange eyes, and moved his shoulders as he went. Perhaps he touched a sore spot, and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Chai, don't look at me. I'm not saying they are bad! They need armor or something." It’s not that the output is too low, I will offer it with both hands even if they don’t tell me. After all, we are fighting for the Tang Dynasty! But my body is really weak, can you just talk about it and not take action?"
"This..." Xiao Han changed the subject too quickly. Chai Shao was stunned for a moment before he remembered that although the man in front of him was also a Marquis of Wu, he was rarely able to climb on a horse or carry a knife, so he was half disabled!
But it’s not true that I don’t blame him. Zhou Yu helped Sun Quan to level Jiangdong at the age of fifteen. King Qin Li Shimin led the army to fight at the age of seventeen. He himself began to fight on the battlefield at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and his muscles and bones had been trained for a long time. Come out, in the eyes of warriors like them, a good man should be tempered thousands of times, how can he not be able to withstand being shot several times in a row?
After looking Xiao Han up and down several times, Chai Shao said: "Okay, I'll block it for you, but I'm not saying that your bean sprout-like physique is too bad! Can you do some exercise? That's why I'm afraid that the wind will blow you away when I go out!"
"Exercise is something that will happen in the future. Let's get through today first!" Xiao Han said through gritted teeth, and then hid behind Chai Shao.
He saw the group of bastards who had just photographed him, surrounded by a middle-aged man in purple robes, walking towards him. Maybe the picture he just took was not enough, and he wanted to do it again...
Chai Shao naturally saw the person coming at this time and hurriedly saluted him: "Chai Shao has met Lord Shangshu!"
The person who came was very kind. He waved his hand to Chai Shao and said with his habitual laugh: "Hahahaha, Chai Shao, you are here too. I heard that the Master of Sanyuan County is also here today, so I came here to meet you! "
Xiao Han has now figured out a rule. In the Tang Dynasty, military attachés always laughed a few times when they met! As if not doing so is not enough to reflect his heroic temperament...
And broken down, the time and sound of this laughter are directly proportional to the official position. The bigger the official, the longer the laugh! The sound gets louder! So when a group of military attachés meet, you can tell who has the highest status among them without having to watch, just by listening to the laughter!
The guy in front of him smiled very, very long. After laughing, he could not blush and continue talking without his heart beating. Xiao Han was greatly admired. He was indeed worthy of being a minister! But why does this big shot want to see him by name?
Xiao Han couldn't think clearly, so he had to come out from behind Chai Shao first, and shouted from a distance: "Young man Xiao Han, I have met Lord Shangshu!"
Xiao Han had never seen this person before, and he followed Chai Shao's example. As for which minister among the six departments the other person was, he really didn't know. During the monthly imperial meeting, he was either sleeping or bragging and spanking with the "elders of the three dynasties". How could he care about anything else?
Looking at Xiao Han's look, Chai Shao knew that he definitely didn't know this person. He quickly touched Xiao Han secretly and whispered to him: "This is Master Qu Tutong, the current Minister of the Ministry of War!"
"Qu Tutong? Minister of the Ministry of War?" Xiao Han was shocked and quickly raised his head to look at this person. He didn't notice it just now, but now he saw that this person's eyes were not big and his face was broad and rosy. He really looked like a prairie man. Looks!
While Xiao Han was sizing up Qu Tutong, Qu Tutong was also sizing him up. As Xiao Han's nominal direct leader, this was the first time Qu Tutong had come face to face with Xiao Han. This was also a strange thing in the Ministry of War! Because all of Xiao Han's appointments were personally ordered by the emperor, and they were not appointed by the Ministry of War at all, he naturally had no access to Xiao Han.
At first, Qu Tutong still had a grudge about this matter, but when he went to the King of Qin a few days ago and saw the equipment produced by Xiao Han, he felt relieved and became very curious about his nominal subordinate.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Qu Tutong suddenly said: "Haha, not bad, not bad! It turns out that a hero comes from a boy!"
"Don't dare, don't you dare to call yourself a hero? It's just good luck, good luck!"
Xiao Han lowered his eyebrows and showed a rare humility! No matter what, you are also your own boss, so don’t let others put your own little shoes on!
Qu Tutong laughed with the people around him, and said while laughing: "You are quite interesting, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and I really like it! But you don't have to belittle yourself like this. I've seen the things you made. Very good, in terms of merit, it is definitely not worse than killing generals and capturing flags! A young man should have the spirit of a young man, but don't imitate those of us who are half buried in the earth! After all, we will still have to rely on you in the future!"
Just one sentence! Xiao Han fell in love with this boss all of a sudden. He didn't show authority or show off to a young fool like him! Discuss the matter! It is really rare to be able to do this while holding a high position!
"Master Shangshu is joking. I see you have a strong body! How can you shoot a five-stone bow? You know, I am also half a doctor. I am quite accurate in reading people."
If people respect me, I will respect them! Xiao Han couldn't recite all the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but Qu Tutong still knew that he had played a great role in the Xuanwu Gate incident, and it was definitely not as exaggerated as he said that half of them were buried in the loess!
The character of the grassland people is cheerful. When he heard Xiao Han's compliments, Qu Tutong burst out laughing: "Hahaha... I know the doctor, but I really don't know about this sycophant. How can a five-stone bow be so easy to shoot? Give me a four-stone bow, I guess I won’t be able to draw it now!”
It was bad, and he was called a flatterer. Xiao Han's face suddenly turned red to the root of his neck, and he heard roars of laughter around him!
A few black-faced men inside laughed particularly loudly, causing the civil servants over there to glance over at them, as if they were disdainful of them being so noisy.
However, the dispute between civil and military forces has existed since ancient times. Nowadays, when civil servants are lowly and military nobles are noble, who cares what nonsense those sour men say and if they make them unhappy, they can even bring it up and give them a beating. It’s amazing to be fined a salary. Who can point to the salary these days? Live a life?
So the more those civil servants looked at it, the more they laughed unscrupulously! Just when the civil servants there were fuming with anger, Huang Men, who was standing next to the dragon chair, saw that there were already a lot of people in the hall, so he shook his fly whisk and shouted in a high voice: "My lords, please take a seat~"
I don’t know how these eunuchs practice their voices on weekdays. Their voices are not loud, but their penetrating power is extremely strong! The high-pitched voice made Xiao Han's laughter stop.
Qu Tutong stopped laughing, raised his eyes to look at Huangmen, and said to Xiao Han with a little regret: "Well, today is the Yuan Day ceremony, so I won't ask you more. When I have time in the future, I will definitely talk to you." You can talk freely! Your wonderful ideas have really opened my eyes!"
After hearing this, Xiao Han quickly stood up, held his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "I don't dare, I don't dare, it's time for me to visit you. Lord Shangshu, don't worry, I will tell you everything I know!"
