晚宴结束,众官员纷纷带着古怪的神情告辞离去,最后只剩下魏国公、李国舅、关尚书和林侍郎。这几人向柯枝宰相告辞后,还要送林侍郎去馆驿住下,之后才会各自散去。At this moment, Ye Xiaotiansuddenlyappeared. Ye Xiaotianhas received in exchange the official's robeat this time, suddenlyhurries forwarddeeplyto execute a ritualto a prime minister, highsound said: „Many thanksprime ministerSir.”
就在这时,叶小天突然又出现了。叶小天此时已经换回官袍,忽然趋前向柯枝宰相深施一礼,高声道:“多谢宰相大人。”Prime MinisterKebranchhehesmiles, caressingmustsay: „Ambassadorleafis polite. If notyoustickle, my the old bonesonlyfeared that mustruinhere, youaremysavior, this matter of slight effort, howcannot help.”
柯枝宰相呵呵一笑,抚须道:“叶大使客气啦。若非你坚持己见,我这把老骨头只怕就要葬送在这里了,你可是我的救命恩人呢,这举手之劳的事情,怎么能不帮忙呢。”Vice ministerforesthas not recognizedthatperson who Ye Xiaotianserved fooda moment ago, seesto handle jointly withlesser official of hallto permitwithoutthemunexpectedly, rushesto speakwithKezhiguoprime ministerrashly, in the heartis somewhat disgruntled, frownsto sayslightly: „Youhandle jointly with the hallambassador? Howsonot to understand the custom!”
林侍郎倒没认出叶小天就是刚才上菜的那个人,一见会同馆的小官儿竟然未经他们允许,贸然闯过来同柯枝国宰相说话,心中有些不悦,微微蹙眉道:“你是会同馆大使?怎么这般不懂规矩!”Ye Xiaotiansaidtohimneither arrogant nor servile: „Vice ministerSir, lower official, ifalldefer to the custom, onlyfearedhowoneselfdiedoes not know.”叶小天不卑不亢地对他道:“侍郎大人,下官要是一切都按照规矩来,只怕自己怎么死的都不知道了。”Vice ministerforestis slightly surprised, sinkingsound said: „Did your sayingmentionfrom where?”
林侍郎微微惊讶,沉声道:“你这话从何说起?”
The Lination's uncledarksleep/feltis not wonderful, thisevening banquet conducts presentthisstep, hehad been clear that pass/testXiaokun the planwasto go bankruptthoroughly, nowsees the Ye Xiaotianattitude is so strong, knows that heknewanythinginevitably, buthehas not thought that Ye Xiaotiandarednot to attend toclosing the face of Shangshu, had no consideration for facein the presence of everyone.
李国舅暗觉不妙,这晚宴进行到现在这一步,他已经清楚关小坤的计划算是彻底破产了,如今一见叶小天态度如此强硬,就知道他必然知道了些什么,可他没有想到叶小天竟敢不顾关尚书的面子,当众撕破脸来。Ye Xiaotianlooked at a prime minister, saidsubmissively: „Prime ministerSirwas deficient, but alsopleaserestearly.”叶小天看了一眼柯枝宰相,拱手道:“宰相大人乏了,还请早早歇息吧。”Prime MinisterKebranchunderstands that gratitude and grudges between the bureaucrats, he not suitableon the scene, shows a faint smile, Dukeand the othersbowed with hands claspedtoWeiall round, said: „Is indebtedfellowSirsto receive cordiallywarmly, the old manis deeply grateful. The old menare somewhat drunknow, thisrested. Bye, bye!”
柯枝宰相明白人家众官僚间的恩怨,他不宜在场,不禁微微一笑,向魏国公等人团团一揖,道:“承蒙各位大人热情款待,老夫感激不尽。老夫如今有些醉了,这就歇息了。再会,再会!”Prime MinisterKebranchbows with hands claspedall round, did not wait for the peopleto exchange conventional greetingsto finish, thenwithvice-causedto shift to the dwelling. Vice ministerforesttothissituation, knows that tonightthisbanquetmusthave the enormousfishy , attended tokeeping hold ofPrime MinisterKebranch, waitshimto leave, thensaidtoYe Xiaotian: „Whytoday the evening banquetturns into the hot potfeast, whatmeaning did yousayare?”
柯枝宰相团团一揖,也不等众人寒喧结束,便与副使转向自己住处。林侍郎到此地步,知道今晚这宴会必有极大蹊跷,也顾不及挽留柯枝宰相,候他离开,便向叶小天道:“今日晚宴为何变成了火锅宴,你方才所言又是什么意思?”Ye Xiaotiansaid: „Lower officialin a few wordsdoes not talk clearly, might as wellbyMinistry of (Confucian) RitesChancellorZhengsay that listenstoSir.”Ye Xiaotianoneflashestoside. Seesofficer, is hangingtwoarms, a scaredappearancewalks, looked that hiscomplexionis pallid, seemsdamngeneral.叶小天道:“下官三言两语的也说不清楚,不如就由礼部的郑主事说给诸位大人听听。”叶小天向旁边一闪。就见一个官儿,垂着两条手臂,一副失魂落魄的模样走过来,看他脸色煞白,好似见了鬼一般。ClosesShangshuto seethisperson, a browwrinkle, said: „ZhengQiaoSheng, todaythisevening banquet, actuallywhat's the matter. LuckilythatKezhiguopersonis unclearmyCentral Plainsituation, but alsoreallythinks that thissliced and quick-boiled meatiswhat/anythingcherishes the rarefood, otherwisethinksinevitablyIand othersprofaned, unavoidablyannoys the right and wrong.”
关尚书一见此人,不由眉头一皱,道:“郑乔升,今日这晚宴,究竟是怎么回事。幸亏那柯枝国人不明我中原情形,还真以为这涮锅子是什么稀罕少见的菜肴,否则必然以为我等轻慢,难免惹出是非。”ZhengQiaoShengopens mouth. Suddenlykneesonesoft, „thump~”knelt, tremblingsaid/tunnel: „ShangshuSirandvice ministerSir, countryDuke, nation's uncle. Sir, the lower officialknows the crime, the lower officialknows the crime!”
郑乔升张了张嘴。忽然双膝一软,“卟嗵”一声跪了下去,哆哆嗦嗦地道:“尚书大人、侍郎大人,国公、国舅。诸位大人,下官知罪,下官知罪啊!”WeiDukeandforestvice ministerand the otherslooked at each other in blank dismay. Lination's uncle'scomplexionhas becomeveryugly, turns off the Shangshupuzzledsaid/tunnel: „ZhengQiaoSheng, actuallyyouhavewhatwords, fastsaid.”
魏国公和林侍郎等人面面相觑。李国舅的脸色已变得十分难看,关尚书不解地道:“郑乔升,你究竟有什么话,速速道来。”„Yes! Is!”
“是!是是!”ZhengQiaoShengxianwas renovatedbyyounger sister Taiyang (Sun), after fallingto the winterlongexpert, tossed aboutsuffering extreme distress, whenheconfessedallblurry , after experiencing the winterelderfearsomer, mysteriousGǔ (legendary venomous insect) technique that is inconceivable, hispsychological defense linecollapsedthoroughly.
郑乔升先被太阳妹妹整治了一番,落到冬长老手中后,更是被折腾的死去活来,等他迷迷糊糊招认了一切,又见识了冬长老更加可怖、更加难以想像的神奇蛊术之后,他的心理防线彻底崩溃了。NowZhengQiaoShengzhiremembersinhisstomachto havetwotenias, so long asthatseeminglygloomybaldheadedold mandoes not take backhisinsect, thatbiginsectwill live the smallinsect, in hisstomach is the insect, theseinsectswill eat a nonehisheart and liverspleenlungkidneyentirely.
现在郑乔升只记得他肚里有两条虫,只要那个看起来阴森森的秃顶老头儿不收回他的虫子,那大虫子就会生小虫子,当他肚里全是虫子的时候,那些虫子就会把他的心肝脾肺肾统统吃个精光。Butthatseems like very delightfulandis very lovable, mouth, the eyebiglittle missalsoput a teniainhisstomach, ifcannottakepromptlythatinsect, thatinsectwill climbhisbrain, eatsto dohisbrains, during this period, hewill be in deep sorrow, will also turn into the lunatic who an beastis inferior.
而那个看起来很甜美、很可爱,嘴巴小小,眼睛大大的小姑娘也在他肚里放了一条虫,如果不能及时把那虫子取出去,那虫子就会爬进他的脑子,吃干他的脑髓,在此期间,他会痛不欲生,还会变成一个禽兽不如的疯子。Sounder the situation, ZhengQiaoShengwherealsodaresto conceal, howimmediatelycheckyoungKunfoundhim, howheincites the chefto attempt to pervert, the premeditateddestruction the situation of evening banquetsaystoday. Did not wait forhim saying that closed/pass the complexion of Shangshu the palepiece.
如此情形之下,郑乔升哪里还敢隐瞒,当即就把关小坤如何找到他,他又如何授意厨师做手脚,蓄意破坏今日晚宴的情况说了一遍。不等他说完,关尚书的脸色已经铁青一片。Nearby, Ye Xiaotianleisuresaid/tunnel: „ FellowSirs, thatKezhiguoenvoy, althoughplacefrom the barbarian, valuableis a countryprime minister, how couldalsonot to havethisexperience, a sliced and quick-boiled meatthencanhide the truth fromthem, but also was regarded in worldmost beautifulgood foodbythem?
一旁,叶小天慢悠悠地道:“各位大人,那柯枝国使者虽说来自蛮夷之地,可贵为一国宰相,又岂能没有这点见识,一个涮锅子便能瞒得过他们,还被他们当成世间最美的美食?Hehe, the evening banquethas not madeeveryone unable to get outtoday, thatis onlybecause before the evening banquet, the lower officialfirstsawPrime MinisterKebranch, explained that the accident/surprise, invitedPrime MinisterKebranchwithuniting, makeseveryone unable to get outon such formalandgranddiplomatic occasion. ”
呵呵,今日晚宴没有闹得大家下不来台,那只是因为晚宴之前,下官先去见了柯枝宰相,说明出了意外,请柯枝宰相配合一下,不要在这样正式而隆重的外交场合闹得大家下不来台。”Vice ministerforestdeeplylooked atYe Xiaotianone, is slowly typical: „Said,thispass/testXiaokunbecause ofdid pick a quarrelwithyourprivate grudgesretaliates? Whothispass/testXiaokunis, whycaninciteChancellorZhengto workforhim, haswhatgratitude and grudgeswithyou?”
林侍郎深深地看了叶小天一眼,缓缓地道:“这么说,这个关小坤是因为与你的私怨而寻衅报复了?这关小坤是何人,为何能指使郑主事为他做事,与你又有何恩怨?”Vice ministerforestsuchasked,closed/pass the complexion of Shangshuto be uglier, because the previoustimehis sonstole the giving reliefsilver, hadbigdisturbance, luckilyopen/stretchHongxuanand the othershadscruples, is not willingto have the personal enemyfor the person of father's generation, thisreduced big problems into little problems, cannot think that todaythisscandalmustbe revealedeventually, moreoveris working asinCapital the surface of official.
林侍郎这样一问,关尚书的脸色更加难看了,上次因为他儿子盗窃赈银,闹出好大一场风波,幸亏张泓愃等人有所顾忌,不愿替父辈结下仇人,这才大事化小,想不到今日这桩丑事终究还是要被人揭穿,而且是当着京里官员的面。Ye Xiaotianlooked that does not look athisoneeyes, thisis related toShangshuto know the circumstances of the matter, hedoes not know, does not wantto know, sinceZhengXiaokunnot satisfied with small gains, sobravein vainis, whatscrupleshealsodoes have?

Such being the case, hedid not needto cover up.叶小天看都不看他一眼,此事关尚书是否知情,他不知道,也不想知道,既然郑小坤得寸进尺,如此胆大枉为,他还有什么顾忌的?舍得一身剐,敢把皇帝拉下马,那关小坤都骑到他头上拉屎撒尿了,要不是他今日果断处置,查清真相,又与柯枝宰相有段善缘,得到了柯枝宰相的配合和帮助,今日这一关他就过不去。既然如此,他也不用遮着掩着了。Ye Xiaotian the soundringing, howcontracts enmitywithpass/testXiaokunhimimmediately, howpass/testXiaokunsteals the giving reliefsilver, the process how theyspare and not punish too severely, saidwithout the least concealmenttovice ministerforest who thisCapital Citycame. Vice ministerforesthearshalf, the browcloselywrinkled, hiscoldlyNieclosed/passShangshuone, lightsaid/tunnel: „Thispass/testXiaokun is the son of ShangshuSir?”叶小天当即声音朗朗,把他如何与关小坤结怨,关小坤如何盗窃赈银,他们如何高抬贵手的经过,对这京城来的林侍郎毫不隐瞒地说了一遍。林侍郎听到一半,眉头就紧紧地皱了起来,他冷冷地乜了关尚书一眼,淡淡地道:“这关小坤是尚书大人的儿子?”Closed the cheekmeat of Shangshuto twitchgentlyseveral, repliedin a low voice: „My son!”
关尚书的颊肉轻轻抽搐了几下,低声答道:“正是犬子!”Vice ministerforestsilentmoment, said: „The Kezhiguoover200yearshave not paid tribute, todayreturnto go on a pilgrimagedelightedlySon of Heaven, the emperor. Ifin the receptioncausesin the process, because ofmaking a mistake, breedswhat/anythingto be degrading the matter of state systemto come, perhapsyourIcannot undertake! However......”
林侍郎沉默了片刻,道:“柯枝国逾两百年不曾朝贡,今日复来朝觐天子,皇上欢喜的很。如果在接待来使过程中,因为失误,酿成什么有辱国体的事来,恐怕你我都承担不起!不过……”Vice ministerforest a wordswindrevolution. Alsosaid: „LuckilyAmbassadorleafprocessesappropriately, todayhas not led to the catastrophe, otherwisethisscandal, onlyfearsin front ofyour majesty, yourIand the othersare unable to explain. Now, thismatter, thisofficerwhenonlydoes not know how to process, closesShangshuyouto look at the office!”
林侍郎话风一转。又道:“幸亏叶大使处理得宜,今日才没有酿成大祸,否则这桩丑闻,只怕陛下面前,你我等人都无法交待。如今么,这件事,本官只当不知道,如何处理,关尚书你就看着办吧!”pass/testShangshuturns greenshamelessly, shamefulsaid/tunnel: „Old manis ashamed. SirSchellinghelps. The Sirfelt relieved,thisis relatedsomeproperlyprocesses certainly.”
关尚书老脸发青,无地自容地道:“老夫惭愧。多谢林大人成全。大人放心,这件事关某一定妥善处理。”Vice ministerforestsmiles, ruthless character behind a gentle appearancesaid/tunnel: „Is so best! Thisofficerwas somewhat deficient, thisreturned to the hallpostto rest, the countrymister and countrybrother-in-law, Sirpass/test, Linsaid goodbye, not workaccompanied a long way!”
林侍郎轻轻一笑,绵里藏针地道:“如此最好!本官有些乏了,这就回馆驿歇下了,国公爷、国舅爷,关大人,林某告辞,不劳远送!”Vice ministerforeststrokes the sleevegently, goes outfearlesslytwosteps. SeesnearbyYe Xiaotian, stops the footsteps, nodsto saytohim: „Ambassadorleaf, youare very good! Today'smatter. Luckilyyou. Thismatterdo not make widely known, ShangshuSirwill properly process.”
林侍郎把袖子轻轻一拂,昂然走出两步。看见旁边的叶小天,又停出脚步,对他点点头道:“叶大使,你很好!今日的事。幸亏了你。这件事你就不要张扬了,尚书大人会妥善处理的。”Ye Xiaotianquits when you're ahead, immediatelysaidsubmissively: „Lower officialis compliant!”叶小天见好就收,马上拱手道:“下官遵命!”Vice ministerforestnods, pays no attentioncloses the complexion of Shangshuto be how uglybehind. Thenswaggers away.
林侍郎点点头,也不理身后关尚书的脸色如何难看。便扬长而去。Heis an official employed in the capital, withclosingShangshuhas no personal friendship, thistimehecomes toNanjingto causeto greetPrime MinisterKebranchas. Dutyandimportance, ifa littlewhaterror, he can also hardly absolve. The playboyson who nowclosesShangshuforindividualprivate grudges, does not know the weight, doesthismatterto come, nearlyinvolveshim, how couldinhisheartnot to get angry. BytoclosingShangshudoes not have the least bitgoodcomplexion.
他是京官,与关尚书没什么私交,此次他来南京作为钦使迎接柯枝宰相。任务及其重要,如果有点什么过失,他也难辞其咎。现在关尚书家的纨绔儿子为了个人私怨,不知轻重,干出这种事来,险些牵连到他,他心中岂能不怒。是以对关尚书没有半点好脸色。pass/testShangshusaw that vice ministerforestswaggers away, clenches the teeth, bashfullyandashamedlyDukeandLination's unclearchedcupping one hand in the other across the chesttoWei, the starting to walkstride, energetic. WeiDukeandLination's unclehad a lookmutually, silentlywith.
关尚书眼看林侍郎扬长而去,咬紧牙关,又羞又愧地向魏国公和李国舅拱了拱手,迈开大步,风风火火地去了。魏国公和李国舅互相看看,也默不作声地跟了出去。WeiDukereturned toofficial residence, heir apparentslowHongjito catch upto send respectsimmediately.

魏国公回到府邸,世子徐弘基马上赶来问安。魏国公府的家教甚严,尤其是对世子,要求的规矩更多,徐弘基每日必问安,每餐必在左,对父亲恭敬的很。这回等他到了面前,不等说话,魏国公便劈头问道:“麒云呢?”slowHongjiwas startledbeing startled, repliedcarefully: „Sixth Brotherwent to the lightsmokebuildingprobably, withhisseveralfriends......”
徐弘基怔了怔,小心地答道:“六弟好象去轻烟楼了,同他几个朋友……”WeiDuketruncationtastes: „Whatfriend? IsGuanRuithatseveralchildren?”

徐弘基道:“是!”Weijustice: „Yougo, immediatelygivesmeto bringto come backhim, tellshim, lateris shortwiththesepeoplecommunicates. Asked the old manto hear that againtheyhad a contact, brokehisleg!”

徐弘基不知道发生了什么事,却看得出父亲极为不悦,赶紧答应一声,匆匆退了出去。pass/testShangshugoes homeat high speed, enters the mansiongatethento ask: „YoungKun?”
关尚书快马加鞭回到家,一进府门便问:“小坤呢?”
After obtaining the family memberreply, closesShangshu saying: „Yougo to the lightsmokebuildingimmediately, givesmeto bringto come backhim, Iinancestorancestral hallhe!”
得到家人回复后,关尚书道:“你马上去轻烟楼,把他给我带回来,我在祖祠等他!”pass/testXiaokunin the lightsmokebuildingsuperior the goodnews of ChancellorZheng, the glee feastto be arranging, butleftdoes not come, rightdoes not come, pass/testXiaokuncannot repress, wantingis making one handle jointly with the hallto inquire the news, has the family memberto catch upto askhimsuddenlyto return homeanxiouslyanxiously.
关小坤正在轻烟楼上等着郑主事的好消息,庆功宴都摆下了,可左等也不来,右等也不来,关小坤按捺不住,正欲使人去会同馆打听消息,忽有家人急急赶来找他回府。pass/testXiaokunhas not askedyeswhat's the matter, WeiDukeheir apparentslowHongjialsoarrived, called the mansionto gohisSixth BrotherslowQiyunanxiouslyanxiously, pass/testXiaokunaskedto the family member,knew the fatherin the ancestorancestral hallhe, knew the situation is not wonderful, hegoes homewith trepidation, wantsfirstto officially informmotherone, so thatsomecritical momentpeopleasked for leniency, does not wantto closeShangshuto wantinfront, arranged the personin the entrance, hejust arrived home, byforcefullybelt/bringtoancestorancestral hall.
关小坤还没问明白怎么回事儿,魏国公世子徐弘基也到了,把他的六弟徐麒云急急唤回了府去,关小坤向家人一问,得知父亲在祖祠等他,就知情形不妙,他提心吊胆地回了家,本想先去知会母亲一声,以便紧要关头有人说情,不想关尚书早已想在头里,在门口安排了人,他刚一到家,就被强行带到祖祠去了。Inancestorancestral hallgloomy, ignitestwocandles, closesShangshuto siton the chair, modelsgeneralon the unpainted clay idolwoodunder the dimlight, the bodyis motionless, on the facewas wooden. pass/testXiaokunentered the ancestorancestral halltrembling, timidsaid/tunnel: „Father!”
祖祠里面阴森森的,就点着两根蜡烛,关尚书坐在椅上,于昏暗的灯光下就似泥胎木塑一般,身子一动不动,脸上毫无表情。关小坤战战兢兢进了祖祠,怯生生地道:“父亲!”ClosesShangshuoneto drinklowly: „Kneels down!”

关小坤吓得一哆嗦,赶紧在祖宗牌位前跪下。黑暗中一阵硬物拖地的声响,关小坤扭头一看,顿时一阵心惊肉跳,就见两条魁梧的大汉,各自拖着一条大杖出来。pass/testXiaokunin a terrified waycalled out: „Father!”
