Chapter 1790
That night, Qin Heng held a banquet at the Lord's Mansion.
There were only three guests for the banquet, namely Xiang Cheng, Luo Zhiquan and Huang Gan.
All the guards were outside the hall, and the only one who was responsible for pouring wine was the king's wife Wang Yun.
Xiang Cheng and Luo Zhiquan and Huang Gan were wearing similar clothes tonight, all of which were white shirts and black trousers, and a jacket was worn on the outside.
But Huang Gan is younger.
Moreover, Huang Gan has a good spirit and looks calm and restrained.
Xiang Cheng's temples were gray. Although he was very majestic, his old face could not hide his fatigue. It was obvious that he was not satisfied recently.
Luo Zhiquan is not much better than Xiang Cheng. At this time, he is like an old man in the evening, as if the setbacks he has encountered recently hit him.
On the contrary, Qin Heng, the oldest, seemed energetic tonight.
Qin Heng smiled and said, "You are all here, sit down, just sit down, just treat yourself as yours, don't be polite."
Everyone took the seat and sat down according to their identities.
Wang Yun poured wine for everyone himself.
Qin Heng picked up the wine glass: "Come on, you are all cabinet ministers, pillars of the court, and the country's sky-high pillars. Thank you for your hard work over the years. I'll give you a cup."
Xiangcheng several people served the cups one after another: "Thank you, Lord."
Qin Heng drank it all in one drink!
Huang Gan and Luo Zhiquan also toasted quickly.
Xiang Cheng also raised his head and wanted to drink it, but he accidentally choked by the drink and kept coughing.
Qin Heng quickly asked: "Old Xiang, are you okay?"
Huang Gan also hurried forward and patted Xiang Cheng on his back, so that Xiang Cheng could breathe slowly.
Xiang Cheng calmed down and said to Qin Heng with a wry smile: "Master, your wine is too spicy and so popular. You have to take care of us old people a little bit, we can't stand it."
When everyone at the scene heard this, they couldn't help looking at Qin Heng.
Xiang Cheng said something, and he also asked Qin Heng not to investigate Ye Muyun and Luo Wenle anymore.
If he continues to pursue the matter, he and Luo Zhiquan will not be able to bear it. It will be unpleasant to spread if this matter is big. If this election is like this, the country will be embarrassed.
Luo Zhiquan coughed and said, "Yes, lord, you are so enthusiastic about drinking. Please take care of us two old people."
Qin Heng smiled and said, "The wine is still the wine we used to drink. The reason why we feel spicy is because we have changed."
Qin Heng said this and paused and continued, "We are all old! I am 81 this year. If I remember correctly, Lao Luo and Xiang Cheng are 80 years old, right?"
This is the answer!
Luo Zhiquan and Xiang Cheng were both dumbfounded.
Two of them, one is just 70, and the other is 69 this year, how come they become 80 years old?
Could it be that the old king is so confused and remembered wrongly?
Xiang Cheng and Luo Zhiquan quickly denied this speculation.
Although the old king is old, he has a good memory and will never make them wrong so many years.
Since there is nothing wrong, there is no mistake.
In other words, the words of the king were deliberately told to them, what were they hinting at?
Old!
It's time to retire!
Xiang Cheng was the first to speak: "You remember wrongly, Lord. I am only 69 years old this year and haven't even arrived at 70. I still plan to learn from you and work for another ten years."
Luo Zhiquan also said: "Master, I am just 70 this year, and I am still far from 80 years old. I also want to contribute my remaining energy."
When Qin Heng heard this, he sneered in his heart. The two guys in front of him disagreed with retirement.
He smiled and said, "I thought you were about the same age as me. I couldn't do it anymore. I was over 80 and my energy was far less than before. I had to retreat."
"But after I step down, the position of the king should belong to one of you three."
"Tell me about the three of you, who is suitable?"
Xiang Cheng and Luo Zhiquan, Huang Gan, didn't speak.
How can I speak up like this and say I am suitable for you? How can I be embarrassed?
Wouldn't it be even more inappropriate to say that others are suitable?
It's better not to speak.
