Chapter 19 3. Hooligan nature

After the banquet began, Ziying and the accompanying people frequently toasted Liu Bang, "The king is indeed a benevolent and righteous king, wise and powerful!" "I wish the king a long life!" These flattery words surrounded Liu Bang, and after a while, Liu Bang was three points drunk.He stood up, left his seat, and walked towards Ziying and the queen.Ziying hurriedly stood up, and the queen followed suit. Liu Bang was holding the jade goblet in his hand, shaking his body slightly, but he spoke clearly, "Ziying, I respect you for being a hero who understands current affairs, and you can be considered a resolute and decisive hero if you can get rid of Zhao Gao, a treacherous minister. Already!" Before Ziying could answer, he drank it all in one gulp.Ziying had no choice but to drink up the wine in Yucheng.

I thought the toast was over, but I didn't expect that Liu Bang would have more to say. He waved to the maid, who hurried over and filled his jade cup with wine.Liu Bang turned to Ziying's queen, with a wretched smile on his face, and said: "The queen has a beauty that can overwhelm the country and the city. When we met in front of the Dao Pavilion last time, this king was astonished. See you today, and I feel even more radiant. This king saw such a beauty for the first time in my life, and I am so lucky to drink wine with you!" After saying that, he drank up the wine, stared at Ziying's queen with both eyes, and waited. her reaction.

The queen did not expect that Liu Bang would speak so blatantly in front of so many people, but as a prisoner, she had no right to express her resentment and disgust, so she could only force her face to laugh and pretend to be false. "My lord, my little girl is not good at drinking, please forgive me, my lord!" The word "forgiveness" made Liu Bang excited immediately, and the image of the beauty in front of him, dying on the bed, begging for mercy appeared in his mind, and she couldn't help panting and moaning in his ears.Liu Bang put on a serious face on purpose, and said somewhat sternly: "What? I am toasting you, how dare you not drink?"

Ziying's queen was frightened by Liu Bang's appearance, wondering if he was serious.She asked Ziying for help with fearful eyes, her appearance was pitiful, which aroused Liu Bang's interest even more.Seeing his wife being molested by Liu Bang in public, Ziying's scalp was numb, and his face seemed to be on fire. Humiliation and anger were oppressing his fragile nerves.Ziying reminded himself over and over again in his heart: be patient, a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans. He tried his best to maintain a calm tone, but his voice was still trembling.Ziying's feelings can be imagined when King Qin, who used to be aloof and ruled the world, has been reduced to this level. "You just accept the kindness of the king."

After hearing Ziying's words, the queen's eyes were filled with tears of grievance. She knew that her husband was unable to protect herself now. In order to restore the country, he could only endure and even sacrifice his wife.As a wife, she has to protect her husband and children, and such disgrace must be endured.The queen covered her face with her wide sleeves, and tears welled up and rolled down into the wine. She gritted her teeth and drank the wine mixed with tears.When putting down his sleeves, he wiped his cheeks, wiped away the tears, and smiled at Liu Bang in front of him, but the smile was very miserable.

Liu Bang said "OK" repeatedly, his eyes turned around on the queen's face, and after a while, he finally turned back to his seat.Only then did Ziying, the queen and the accompanying people breathe a sigh of relief. They thought the matter was over, but they had just begun. Seeing Liu Bang humiliating Ziying's queen, Lu Zhi felt very ashamed, but also sympathized with the former queen, who was also a woman, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad.She couldn't come forward to stop it, that would only make the already embarrassing situation even more embarrassing, so she could only find a way to prevent Liu Bang from taking more excessive actions.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Bang tasted the sweetness, he couldn't stop, and after a while he went to Ziying and the queen's table to drink with them, forcing the poor queen to swallow the bitter wine that she had to drink again and again.Ziying watched his wife get drunk by Liu Bang, but there was nothing he could do.The nobles and ministers of the extinct Qin clan present all bowed their heads sadly, unable to bear to watch this scene.Ziying's two young and energetic sons wanted to have a fit, but Ying Fu who was standing behind them forcibly stopped them. After being drunk again, the queen felt dizzy and dizzy.She reached out to touch her forehead, and the jade scorpion in her hand fell to the ground, smashed to pieces, her body wobbled, and she was about to fall down.Before Ziying could react, Liu Bang took the first step to support the queen, muttering: "It's all my fault, I don't know how to pity and cherish jade, and let the beauty drink too much!" The maid beckoned, "Help the beauty to my tent to rest!"

Just as Ziying wanted to stop him, Liu Bang held him back, "Don't worry, drink, drink!" He didn't give Ziying a chance to speak at all.Ziying had no choice but to watch his wife being taken to Liu Bang's bed tent, but there was nothing he could do. As long as he kept an eye on Liu Bang and picked his wife up after the banquet, everything would be fine. . Seeing this scene, Lu Zhi immediately understood what Liu Bang was up to.She didn't expect Liu Bang to be so courageous that he wanted to attack Ziying's queen, and she secretly told herself to keep a close eye on Liu Bang, lest he be impulsive and spoil the big event.If Liu Bang really raped Ziying's queen, it would arouse the determination of the Qin people to fight against the enemy overnight, and become the public enemy of the Qin clan and the people of Guanzhong.

After sending Ziying's queen away, Liu Bang didn't want to stay at the banquet for a moment, as if he had a thorn on his buttocks, he was restless.But both Ziying and Lu Zhi were staring at him, and Liu Bang racked his brains to think of a way out.Suddenly, Liu Bang felt a spark flicker in his mind, and an idea popped up. Under the influence of alcohol, the inflated desire buried his rationality and judgment. As long as he could sneak out from under the eyes of the public and kiss Fangze, Liu Bang would dare to do anything now.He didn't have time to think about it, so he stood up abruptly. The big tent, which was noisy just now, quickly fell silent because of Liu Bang's abnormal behavior. Everyone stopped drinking and talking and laughing, and all eyes were on Liu Bang.

Liu Bang raised the jade scorpion in his hand and said loudly: "I have something to announce here." Then, he turned his attention to Ziying, "Ziying eradicated Zhao Gao, the powerful minister, and made this powerful, corrupt, perverted, and cruel Loyalty, persecution of the common people, scum of the world, and their henchmen have all been wiped out, and they have contributed to the country, the country, and the common people. The elders in Guanzhong and the whole world are grateful for Ziying's righteous deeds and remember his merits. It is unreasonable not to reward those who have made meritorious deeds. If I As the king of Guanzhong, I will appoint Ziying as the prime minister to assist me in governing the land of Qin. Let's drink together and celebrate the country's good minister, and I have a powerful right-hand man."

Liu Bang's decision was so sudden that the people present didn't react for a while.Seeing that everyone was standing still, Liu Bang greeted again, "Let's drink together! Why are you standing still?" At this moment, everyone hesitated to pick up the jade cup in front of them and drank it down in one gulp. Lu Zhi asked softly, "What do you mean? Why do you want Ziying to be prime minister? Isn't Xiao He the best candidate for prime minister?" When Liu Bang was asked such a question by Lu Zhi, he immediately became wise and said: "You are still a girl with long hair and short knowledge. You must know that although Qin State is dead, the remaining forces are still intertwined. After all, Guanzhong is run by Qin State for hundreds of years. The homeland of the year. These forces must be called by Ziying, and I use Ziying as a sign, just to appease these forces and take it for my own use, so that I, the king of Guanzhong, can do well. With the support of these people, we With the capital to fight against Xiang Yu, we will use Ziying's hand to drive Zhang Han out in the future, and all of Guanzhong will be ours." What Liu Bang said was so logical that Lu Zhi couldn't think of how to refute him for a while, but felt that Liu Bang's move was very clever.Not to mention Lu Pheasant, even the discerning Zhang Liang was confused at this moment. He glanced at Xiao He next to him. Xiao He, who was recognized by everyone as the best candidate for the future prime minister, was also confused.Zhang Liang asked in a low voice: "What is the king's intention? Has he discussed it with you?" Xiao He smiled wryly and shook his head, expressing that he didn't know the inside story at all.Everyone was taken aback by Liu Bang's unexpected move, and they guessed wildly in their hearts what kind of medicine the half-drunk King of Guanzhong was selling in the gourd.People naturally think that Liu Bang must have thought carefully and had far-reaching intentions in doing so.They only remember Liu Bang's current identity-the future King of Guanzhong, but they forget his true face-a rascal in the market. As a vassal, it is natural to act repeatedly and foresight, but a rogue in the market can act according to his whim, reckless, without considering the consequences at all, and act entirely on impulse, without any rules.Liu Bang revealed his true colors after drinking, and he talked nonsense in order to get away quickly, but everyone was still kept in the dark, racking their brains to analyze the king's intentions. The most dizzy was Ziying, with a dazed look on his face.A king of subjugation was unprepared to be promoted to the high position of prime minister by his opponent. Ziying was a little lost, feeling as if he was floating in the clouds.He didn't know whether it was due to the effect of alcohol, or Liu Bang's hard-working flattery, and he didn't know whether the high hat that suddenly fell from the sky was a blessing or a curse.After drinking, Ziying sat down, holding a few tables with his hands, thinking nervously, trying to figure out Liu Bang's real intentions.Due to years of aristocratic living habits, he still maintains a sitting posture with his back straight. Soon, Ziying made his own judgment. Liu Bang did this to reassure Qin that he was still loyal to his power and to stabilize his ruling foundation so that he could firmly occupy Guanzhong.This idea made Ziying feel a lot more at ease. Since Liu Bang had this idea, he would not harm him in a short time, because he still has value to him and is the object of wooing. Liu Bang didn't care about the wild thoughts in Ziying's mind, as long as he could divert Ziying's and everyone's attention, and give him a chance to sneak out to enjoy the beauty lying on the tent bed.He didn't give Ziying any more time to sort out the mess in his mind, and immediately greeted again: "You, you, why are you sitting still if you haven't toasted the future prime minister?" He rushed forward, surrounded Ziying, and toasted one after another.Liu Bang just wants to drag Ziying so that he has no time to care about him.Seeing that Ziying became the target of public criticism, Liu Bang was secretly proud of his cleverness. The first step of the escape plan was successful, and now it was time to deal with the tigress beside him. Liu Bang turned to Lu Zhi, held up the jade scorpion, and said, "E Ji, I can have today. You have contributed the most. We did it!"Lu Pheasant has been married to Liu Bang for so many years, except for the newly married period, Liu Bang has rarely been so considerate of himself.There was a warm current in her heart, and she also drank the wine. Liu Bang immediately greeted the maid, "Man, man, last time I respected your contribution, this time I respect your hard work. I travel all year round, fighting in the north and south, and I rely on you alone for my family affairs. It is really hard to raise a pair of young children and take care of two elderly people.”After all, he drank it up again.Lu Zhiquan assumed that her husband was in a good mood today. By the way, he remembered his own advantages and did not doubt Liu Bang's motives, so he enjoyed the rare warmth between husband and wife with peace of mind, and drank another full sip. While she was drinking, Liu Bang had already thought of the reason for the third drink. "This time, I wish you will become a queen and rule the world with me. This is the end of all hardships. Everything you have endured in the past has finally paid off!" This reason most moved Lu Zhi.She has been pretentious and ambitious under her father's education since she was a child, and she feels that she will become the most noble person in the world. Now that her dream has come true, how can she be unhappy.All the hard work in the past seems to be worthwhile. After marrying Liu Bang, she took care of housework, worked in the fields, raised children, and supported the elderly; Later, she was implicated and imprisoned, and was almost insulted by the interrogating officials; Liu Bang rebelled against Qin, and she prayed every day at home, fearful... Scenes from the past came to mind, Lu Zhi couldn't control his emotions, and with tears in his eyes, he drank another full glass of wine under Liu Bang's earnest gaze. At this time, Lu Zhi felt that his stomach could not hold any more, so he greeted Liu Bang and got up to change his clothes (an elegant name for going to the toilet in ancient times).Seeing Lu Zhi leave, Liu Bang was overjoyed, and seeing that everyone was still toasting Ziying one after another, the focus was on Ziying, and no one noticed him, Liu Bang quickly got up and left the table, taking three steps at once. In two steps, he slipped to the edge of the tent, lifted the tarpaulin, and got out.He didn't go through the gate at all, so as not to be noticed by others.
