After three rounds of wine, we talked half a basket.
Liu Yi is a young man after all, and he can't drink enough. Over the past few decades, he has been changing glasses, and has gradually begun to show signs of decline.
Although Xie An and others were also half asleep, they could still drink a few bottles.
After stopping the glass and switching to wine, Xie An squinted and looked sideways, seeing Liu Yi's drunken state. He knew that Liu Yi was full of alcohol and dizzy. Taking advantage of this opportunity to ask questions, Xie An's answers would be true and just right. Huo Hou, this kid is unconscious, so he is a bit of a bully.
Thinking of this, Xie An smiled inwardly: Hey, just bully! Who made your father and me predestined? As an elder, it’s not shameful for an elder to pour some alcohol into a younger generation and ask questions about how to tell the truth after drinking!
After the rare lust, Xie An turned his head and glanced at Wang Kai, the reporter. His smile was a bit thicker, and he said to Wang, "Wang Jishi, did you hear yesterday that I, Pingtian, Liaoxi, encountered any difficulties?"
"yes!"
Wang Kai, who was taking notes, was obviously a little drunk. After subconsciously answering "yes", he was stunned for a long time before he remembered the line he had colluded with Xie An yesterday.
Wang Kai shook his head vigorously and woke up from his drunkenness. He looked at Liu Yi and cupped his hands and said, "Sir Liu, the division of labor regarding Pingtian is clear. The county guard is responsible for measuring the land and dividing the land according to law. Your Excellency, you are the one who claims the land for the family. "
Liu Yi was half drunk and half awake at this moment. When he heard someone asking for advice, he knew that the person who came was not good. He immediately returned to his thoughts and secretly recited the method of urging the beads.
He felt a heat in his head and belly, and the dragon ball in his belly immediately sucked up all the essence of the wine. The smell of the wine dissipated eighty-nine times, and Liu Yi's mind suddenly became clear.
Liu Yi smiled evilly in his heart: With the dragon ball in hand, I am the god of wine in the world! Xie An, Xie An, you wanted to get me drunk and take the opportunity to test me again. You made a good plan, but you found the wrong person!
Later, Liu Yi took advantage of the opportunity to escape by urinating, and went to the latrine to activate the dragon ball again to empty the wine mushrooms in the dragon ball.
This was Liu Yi's only bleak harvest from his ten-month stay in Hanfeng Temple. That night in the Xuanji Tower, after learning how to capture the essence of wine into his body, Liu Yi struggled a lot and realized After each drinking session, he would go back and find a deserted place to vomit out the beads, activate the formula to release the mushrooms, and empty the dragon beads, and he would feel like he was gone. After drinking, he is generally fine, and at most he has a big belly. Only Qiao Miaoqing knows about this.
The saying "You can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk" has become true with Liu Yi!
Liu Yi often laughs at himself: If he has no hope of becoming a prince, with this skill, he can at least become a wine god in the world. Or a drunkard!
After sobering up, Liu Yi returned to the hall. The young man still pretended to be drunk. He smiled slightly and said to Wang Kai intermittently, "What Mr. Wang said is true. Without the help of all the county guards, willing to be branches and leaves, the fields will be flat." Things will not go so smoothly, haha, hahaha!"
Wang Kai was about to open his mouth to speak, but Liu Yi gently raised his hand to stop him.
I saw Liu Yi talking eloquently, "My husband, the governor of the county, has been recognized by millions of people. He is a man who is loyal, upright, moral and upright, and can be a model for the country. I sincerely see Mr. Xie for his natural righteousness, and appreciate it." With elegance and magnanimity, since he took office, Liaoxi County has been guarding Qi Qi for thousands of miles, and he is truly a true official of the country."
The flattery made Xie An's cheeks turn red. He knew that Liu Yi didn't hold anything back, so he calmed down in an instant.
This kid moved his butt three inches closer to Xie An, picked up the wine bottle, smiled evilly in his heart, and said to Xie An with a sincere face, "In response to the enthusiasm of all the county governors who keep their heads down and work hard without caring about the harvest, Sir Xie, this junior and Would you like to pay each other three bottles of respect? My lord, please don’t refuse. If you refuse, this junior’s face will have nowhere to throw it away from now on!”
Xie An looked at the drunken Liu Yi and was slightly startled. He thought to himself: Could it be that this guy is pretending to be drunk before he is drunk, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
Before Xie An could think about it, Liu Yi had already rolled up his sleeves and took the wine bottle from Xie An's case. After filling it up, he switched his right hand to his left hand and held up his glass with his left hand. He handed his right hand to Xie An and said with a smile, "A glass of wine to Xie Liangpeng." , these three bottles, I represent the whole army of Pingtian Army and the millions of people in Liaoxi County. I would like to express my gratitude to you for your great righteousness."
Seeing Liu Yi taking the lead in drinking three bottles in a row and putting a big hat on Xie An, Xie An felt guilty and had no choice but to follow.
After drinking to this extent, anyone would be confused if they were taken away from the bottom of the pot like this.
In the Five Elements, after three bottles of wine, Xie An was in a trance, his eyes were blurred, his stomach was churning, and his face was red. He felt that he could not talk to him, so he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to indicate that he was too drunk. , retaining the last trace of grace.
Seeing Xie An's naivety, Liu Yi was satisfied: If Xie An wants to challenge me, I will ask you for wine tonight.
"The gratitude in my heart just now was uncontrollable. I unintentionally interrupted Wang Jishi's narration. This junior was extremely shocked." Liu Yi looked apologetic, stood up quickly and rushed to Wang's case. He said sincerely, oh no, with bad intentions. , "When the Le Er army was put down before, the younger generation felt that Mr. Wang was of great use and was the leader of Liaoxi County. Now I see that the people of Liaoxi County are healthy and full of vitality in the countryside. It is true!"
Wang Kai received such high praise and hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't dare to take it, I don't take it. I must be like a small witch to a big witch like Liu Pingtian!"
Liu Yi hurriedly said, "This junior admires talented people the most in his life. Come, these three cups, junior and Lord Wang will respect each other and express their feelings."
After all, regardless of whether Wang Kai responded or not, Liu Yi finished the wine and finally felt that it was not refreshing enough. He simply picked up the wine jar with his hands, opened his mouth to Wang Kai, and drank it all in one gulp.
"The further north you go, the more courage you have in your chest. A big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat are better than the princes in the world who share the meal in small bites! I am respectful to the juniors who do it first, and I respect you who do it first!"
To show his sincerity, Liu Yi held the altar with both hands, tilted the bottom of the altar toward Wang Kai, and returned to his seat with a smile before even a drop of wine fell.
Wang Dali, Yun Yi, Su Daoyun and other worldly warriors were so envious that they stopped drinking and applauded. Mr. Liu can still drink so much after drinking at the wine table. Master Liu can be called a wizard in the wine world!
After admiring, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Kai.
At this moment, Wang Kai felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He bowed his respects and drank from the altar. He was extremely humble. If he didn't return the favor, it would mean that he didn't respect Liu Pingtian. In this case, the misunderstanding between the two would be huge.
Wang Kai clenched his fists, but this was not the time for him. In the past, he just wanted to get drunk. Today, he still had to do the things that Commander Xie told him to do. He must not waste his time drinking. If he goes down the altar, he might even get knotted in words. Not to mention it is difficult for Liu Yi to ask questions.
After thinking about it, Wang started to drink from a bottle. After he got up and drank it all in one gulp, he sat there with a smile without showing his teeth and said shyly, "Master Liu has ruined the lower official, and the lower official cannot afford it."
There was a moment of silence in the field, and there was a hint of gunpowder in the air. Qiao Miaoqing, Wang Dali and others showed a hint of sullenness on their faces. Liu Yi made friends with each other with a jar of wine, but you Wang Kai responded with a glass of wine. This is not a matter of etiquette, this is a matter of Hirata's army. A matter of face.
The bad habits of northern Xinjiang men who love wine, love wine, and love tasting wine are highlighted at this time.
"One bottle for one jar? Mr. Wang is so impressive!"
Wang Dali pouted, with the word 'displeased' clearly written on his face. He snorted coldly and said, "Master Wang, this is how a man in western Liaoning treats guests? The bold temperament of my Saibei Erlang has been destroyed by you. It’s sold out! If you can’t drink it, just ask for mercy and I’ll drink it for you.”
The king raised the wine vigorously and drank it all in one gulp.
When Su Daoyun saw that Pingtian's army looked sullen from top to bottom, he immediately came out to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Alas, alas! It's good to drink to the fullest, but competing for wine will disturb the beautiful atmosphere."
Qiao Miaoqing sat aside, looking at Su Daoyun with wide eyes, and said with a smile, "Mr. Su, do you really think this is a gathering of friends? This is a night banquet. It was your Liaoxi County who invited me, Pingtian Army, to drink together. What? I, Pingtian Ling, respect you. Can’t you even drink a glass of wine?”
Wang Dali and others are not people who care about things. The reason why they are holding on to this matter is that they are concerned about Wang Kai's attitude, and they are dissatisfied with Xie An's questioning of Liu Yi's plans, and they act like them. Like a prisoner.
On a night when the moon is full, anyone who is ignorant of the wind and moon will be angry. Xie An's repeated considerations made Liu Yi, who has always had a good temper, feel unhappy. Therefore, when Wang Dali and Qiao Miaoqing were aggressive, he did not take action. Instead of stopping him, he just looked on with cold eyes.
Xie An naturally noticed this detail. He moved his lips, wanting to apologize, but in the end he did not open his mouth.
Tonight, he must test Liu Yi's true ability, even if the generals of the Pingtian army spurn him for not treating guests well, he will not hesitate.
After all, family affairs and state affairs are naturally the most important. After the five counties are leveled, the world will be leveled. After Liu Yi has leveled the world with the five counties, it is likely that Liu Yi will continue to level the world. For such a big event, if Liu Yi is not the ballast stone , He Xie An doesn't mind being a bad guy, so he asked Your Majesty to hire someone else.
The scene was awkward for a while. The two groups, who were still holding hands and playing music and singing, suddenly became distinct. Both sides looked at each other warily, ready to lift the table and leave at any time.
The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hall, but Liu Yi suddenly laughed, "Haha! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. What are you doing? Mr. Wang has a poor drinking capacity, so naturally he can't count by the altar, so why bother others?"
To untie the bell, the bell tyer must be tied. I saw Liu Yi squinting his eyes, taking out the wooden hairpin from his bun, spreading out his robe, carrying the wine and going out, raising the altar to drink again.
When Wang Dali saw Liu Yi's huge mind, his two copper bell-like eyes seemed to bulge out.
Everyone also praised him, Mr. Liu is so vast!
Liu Yi walked to the door.
At this time.
The moon surges to the north, and the snow penetrates the Tianmen. Under the moon and in the snow, the young man looks up to the sky and crowns his head. Under the pouring moonlight, there is a myriad of natural beauty in the world.
"Fighting with wine and shoulder-to-shoulder, rejoice! rejoice!"
Liu Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, full of ambition, "If Commander Xie wanted to ask a question, why not go straight to the wine table and go back and forth like this a thousand times, wouldn't he get drunk faster? Haha! Hahaha!"
Xie An is as stable as Mount Tai, determined not to change.
Then, Liu Yi turned to look directly at Xie An and said with a smile, "Master Xie, I will drink the wine Wang opened on his behalf! After drinking this jar of wine, I will accept your invitation from Master Xie!"
I, Liu Yi, slapped you Xie An in the face openly and openly!
Liu Yi returned to the banquet hall and stood in the middle of the hall. The people in the room were already divided into two groups. The Hirata army was all high-spirited and the Liaoxi army were all bowing their heads in silence. Liu Yi's words changed Wang Kai's behavior from just drinking. Elevate to character.
At this time, the feelings of the officials in western Liaoning are like eating candies secretly as children. The parents knew clearly that their children had eaten candies secretly, but did not expose it. But once it was exposed in public, they felt ashamed and panicked!
Xie An sat there, his cheeks flushed, he smiled and waved his hand, with a bang, his head hit the case, and he fell unconscious.
When Liu Yi saw this, he couldn't help but admire in his heart: "Ginger is still spicy, Xie An's use of wine escape is so wonderful!"
However, the story does not end there, Wang Kai still faithfully performs his duties.
When Xie An lay down, Wang Kai was reserved and had nothing to say, his face flushed like a guan gong. After visiting for a long time, he finally said, "I have no aristocratic family in Liaoxi County. After Mr. "
Liu Yi looked at Wang Kai intently: Wang Kai is really a fool, Xie Fang was drunk, and he just wanted to give you a step down. It's a good thing for you to go upstream. It seems that I must solve today's test question.
So, he asked with a smile, "Why, did you encounter difficulties during the process of leveling?"
Wang Kai calmed down his embarrassment, drunkenness and coldness towards Liu Yi, and said bravely, "Everything was going smoothly, but there were two people in the village. One of them was ruthless, frugal and disobedient. He liked to wander around in the alleys, and the other was accustomed to robberies. They skin pedestrians and shoot dogs and pigs for fun, and they are punished and beaten. If their nature does not change, I, the officials in western Liaoning, can do nothing."
Wang Kai showed a look of helplessness, "In times of calm, they are just two scoundrels, but when the fields are flat, we are in trouble. Should we give him the land?"
Wang Kai finally looked at Liu Yi seriously and asked, "According to the law of flat land, it should be given. But if the land is given, the people will not accept it. If the land is not given, the people will not accept the law. Master Liu, what should I do about this matter? ?”
Liu Yi responded fluently, "My lord Wang, the "Book" says that 'use crime to defeat death, use virtue to promote good', this is a clear code of legal system."
"The rule of law is based on etiquette. The rule of chaos is based on punishment. It is Shun who led the four evil tribes and Gaotao as a scholar. The ancestors of the Han Dynasty eliminated the harsh laws of Qin and Xiao He's laws. With clear knowledge and equality, Ming Dynasty Thank you for your sympathy!" Liu Yi looked up to the sky and smiled, his eyes like torches, "Sir Wang, we are following His Majesty's decree to divide the five counties of Pingtian. Is it based on the law or the people's will?"
Wang Kai was speechless immediately, not guessing the meaning of Liu Yi's words.
"Unjust is doomed to destruction."
Liu Yi didn't want to waste his words, so he smiled and walked away. The Pingtian Army's interest faded and they followed Liu Yi's departure.
Su Daoyun hurriedly went out to see him off, leaving Wang Kai where he didn't know why.
At the end of the day, Liu Yi turned around and smiled at Wang, "You can't even think of this, so why should you be an official?"
A banquet broke up unhappy due to Xie An's suspicion.
...
The whole house was silent, the sound of Liu Yi's cavalry's hooves gradually faded away, and after the gate of the county governor's mansion was closed, Xie An 'Yuyou' woke up.
This world-famous talented man poured a bottle of wine by himself, slowly turning it around in his hand, with a half-smile on his face, and his clear eyes could not hide his admiration and joy for Liu Yi.
Wang Kai resisted the surge of alcohol in his stomach, stood up to plead guilty, and said guiltily, "My lord, this low-ranking official is in disgrace!"
"It doesn't matter. There are no truths or lies during the banquet. After you wake up, everything will return to zero. No one owes anyone anything. If we really owe anything, Liu Yi still owes us before the meal!"
Wang Kai let out a long sigh of relief.
Xie An comforted him softly and said with a warm smile, "At least it proves that this son is absolutely extraordinary. The slanderous statement in Xun Yu's letter about 'borrowing his father's power' may not be true. The great responsibility of Pingtian in the five counties is entrusted to this person." I am in your hands, don’t worry!”
Su Daoyun returned to the hall and asked in a daze, "Sir, what did Liu Pingtian mean by what he just said?"
"Pingtian must naturally follow Pingtian's laws. Even if the people are upset, it is a fair move by the government. This is a warning to us, don't be dazzled by small loyalty and small kindness!"
Wang Kai hurriedly asked, "If we allocate land to rogues, wouldn't it chill the people's hearts and foster unhealthy tendencies?"
"That's wrong." Xie An looked at the snow outside the door and said softly, "In the reign of the Holy King, everyone should take agriculture as his business and frugality as his capital. His Majesty's "Five Grains and People's Order" is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. It is a great policy, but not everyone can get the same share of the rain and dew. The civil decree clarifies that land can be rented or not bought. If two people get the land and still choose to be a mixed person instead of farming with peace of mind, they will eventually lose the land again. , how can the rent from subletting to others be enough to make ends meet! Those who do evil will be punished by themselves. In the end, the two of them became the laughing stock and were starved of food again. Liu Yi's last words were just that. "
All the officials suddenly realized.
"Everyone, let's go!" Xie An said with a smile, "I feel homesick after drinking warm. I wish you all a good night and sweet dreams!"
After everyone left, only Xie An stayed in the central hall of Nuo University.
The fragrance of the jade stove is fine, and the curtains are heavy. After the silence, I see loneliness again.
Xie An stopped drinking to grind, picked up the pen to write, then started writing again, back and forth, and finally felt inexplicably angry.
He stood up, looked at the moon, and said to himself, "Hey! There are several books on my father's desk, and he is either a villager or an old man. Now look at it, thousands of bottles of worries, all kinds of grievances, have really turned into the style of Laozi and Zhuangzhuang!"
"Many people don't miss old friends. This is how the world is. Once you decline, no one will help you. Since leaving Liaoxi, except for letters from good friends such as Lu Ling, Ran Min, and Huan Wen, there have been no exchanges with old friends. This shows how warm and cold the world is! "
Regardless of whether you are a high-ranking official or an emperor, the people around you when you are in heaven are not worthy of trust. Only those who are still waiting for you after you truly land are called friends.
Xie An, who originally wanted to write a letter to the family, didn't know how to start it, and he was worried, so he simply picked up a pot of Xiaoyao wine, sat on the threshold, drank slowly, and said to himself, "Liu Yi, Liu Yi ,Good name!"
"This boy's temperament is a bit like that of the late emperor, but when he talks, he has Liu Quansheng's crooked aura, which makes people unpredictable. There is also a heroic demeanor between his brows. If he can be cultivated, he will be a good man in the future. He is talented as a general and prime minister. He can even be the backbone of ZTE!"
Wait, Xie An suddenly became conscious. He shook his head vigorously and began to think deeply.
The emperor ordered Liu Yi to pacify the fields, and he was ordered to do so in Liaoxi. Are these two things necessarily connected? Xie An seemed to have caught something!
"Junior is very curious. The prince's master, the future emperor's master, has the support of a strong family inside and countless dignitaries outside. He will definitely be a very popular minister in the future. Senior Xie, why do you want to come to Saibei, a place where birds can't shit? ? Even if you have committed a crime, you should not leave your hometown and live in a barren land like Bozhou!"
Xie An turned around and smiled.
It turned out that after the others left, Liu Yi quietly ran back with the help of Qiao Miaoqing. At this moment, he unconsciously sat opposite Xie An with a smile on his face.
After all, Xie An was extremely smart and a scholar who had entered the country. He was not surprised by Liu Yi's departure and return, and calmly replied, "If I could figure it out, wouldn't I have gone back a long time ago?"
"How could you not know, Mr. Xie, that you are so drunk? I am so drunk that I want to come back to find out what happened. Senior Xie, can't you tell the truth?"
Liu Yi's big innocent eyes looked straight at Xie An, and he laughed and laughed, but his eyes were full of light, and he could tell at a glance that he was a smart person.
Xie An poked Liu Yi with the bottom of the wine jar, narrowed his eyes and said, "You kid, you are rude and unreasonable. How can you tell the truth after just one drunken moment? Isn't the truth too cheap?"
"Looks like I'm still not drunk, so thank you, sir!" Liu Yi bulged his mouth and complained, "I won't ask anymore. The more you know, the faster you will die."
"Northern Xinjiang is great. There are not so many disturbances and mediations. The mountains are mountains and the water is water!"
Xie An said this suddenly.
Liu Yi asked, "Isn't it like this everywhere in mountains and rivers?"
Xie An grinned and shook his head, "The country is not a mountain, and the river is not water."
Liu Yi was very disgusted with this nonsense today.
When Liu Yi left and returned this time, he originally wanted to have a long talk with Xie An, but since he didn't want to associate with him, there was no need for him to stay.
So, the young man stood up, patted his butt, turned around and left, saying, "The next day, I will get up and return to Lingyuan. Those two troublemakers, if Commander Xie finds it difficult to make a choice, let them follow my Pingtian army!"
Xie An showed a strategizing expression, "These are all small things, Liu Pingtian shouldn't worry about them."
Liu Yi didn't look back, "Didn't Wang Kai say that these two guys are a thorn in your side?"
"Wang Jishi said it, not me!" Xie An shouted at Liu Yi's back.
Liu Yi did not answer.
Xie An didn't pursue him either.
There are not many things in a person's life that can be repeated, including this meal. Even if the next meal is the same, it is impossible to taste the same.
One of the smartest people in the world today and one of the smartest people in twenty years just passed each other, but no sparks were created.
Things are changing!
Some people died, but not completely...
