The banquet will be held in Chunfang Hall.
The scale of the banquet was not large. The only foreign minister sitting with him was Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister, and the rest were from the Ji family. It could be said that this was a family banquet.
Of course, this does not mean that we do not pay attention to it. In fact, only those who really value it will come to our home for dinner.
Xiong Liqing was called over by the harem. She is His Majesty’s newly canonized princess. The ladies in the harem must give her a greeting gift, talk about herself, and give her some gifts. This is the rule.
Uncle Zheng was led into Chunfang Hall by Eunuch Wei. On the way, Eunuch Wei would look back at Uncle Zheng from time to time.
In his eyes,
< p>There is regret,There is sadness,
There is regret,
There is sadness,
I can see Uncle Zheng’s heart is filled with fury. .
"Eunuch Wei, you..."
Uncle Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Wei Zhonghe smiled slightly and said: "Gao, it's really high. To be honest, uncle, the Za family has served His Majesty for so many years, and you are the first one who can make His Majesty laugh in this way. ”
Ordinary people naturally behave themselves in front of His Majesty and do not dare to go out of their way in the slightest, but this Uncle Hirano dared to joke in this way.
"My father-in-law was joking, I just felt it."
"The Za family likes your shameless attitude."
"..." Zheng Fan.
"Hey, it's a pity. I'm not afraid of your uncle being angry. I think when I first met your uncle, the Za family was thinking about how great it would be if someone like you entered the palace."
p>"Uh..."
"Of course, now that I am the Prince Consort, I can't enter the palace."
"Eunuch Wei, don't laugh at me anymore "
"This is not a joke, the Zajia family is sincere. We are short of talents like you, Uncle Li."
"Thank you for your kindness. Thank you very much."
"Uncle, this is Chunfang Hall. You are the protagonist today, sit second from the left, and Mr. Zaifu will sit above you."
"Okay, I Got it."
"Sit down first, the other highnesses will be here soon. Let's go look elsewhere first."
"Please be busy, father-in-law." /p>
Uncle Zheng was not in a hurry to take a seat, but stood on the edge and looked at the flowers and plants in front of him.
"Looks a little restrained?"
Ji Chengjue's voice came from behind Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng did not turn around, just nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few years." Ji Chengjue said.
"Hypocritical."
"I just want to start, and then I will introduce the topic that the real hard work is me."
"I know, so I don’t want to cooperate.”
“Do you know how painful it was for me to eat cornmeal the year before last?”
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
"Being able to eat cornmeal for a meal is already a very happy thing for many people in this world."
“Bitch.”
Uncle Zheng turned around, looked at Ji Chengjue, and said:
“The cornmeal-eating beast.”< /p>
"..." Ji Chengjue.
"Sixth brother."
At this time,
the fourth prince and the fifth prince walked over together.
Uncle Zheng took the initiative to salute. There was no need to kneel down, but he wanted to get the point across. He raised his hands and said:
"I have met the Fourth Highness, I have met the Fifth Highness. Today, I have worked hard for the Fifth Highness." ”
“Uncle Hirano, this should be the first time we meet, right?” the fifth prince said enthusiastically.
He is now a watcher of the Ministry of Industry, and he will leave Beijing and return to Shanxi with Uncle Zheng in a few days. It is inevitable that he will be more enthusiastic when treating Uncle Zheng.
In the capital, he is the prince and the prince, but outside the capital, especially in Jin, to be honest, this title is not so useful.
Although the officialdom of Dayan is not like that of Qianguo, and the scholar-bureaucrats have a natural contempt for the princes, they still try their best to ignore the powerless princes. Clear relationship.
Because the direction of the wind is very clear,
The future prince will either be the sixth prince who is in the limelight or the prince who still occupies the orthodox position of the country and has little relationship with the other princes. .
Getting close to the prince now will be a crime after the new emperor ascends the throne.
It is difficult to win the power of the Dragon, but there is no need to attract the hatred of the new emperor to yourself, right?
"No, no, this is what I should do." The fifth prince was still very kind, with a pure smell of flowers.
"I heard that His Highness the Fifth Prince likes craftsmanship?"
"Yes, I am not interested in anything else, but I just like to study this. For this reason, I am often criticized. My father reprimanded me for not doing my job properly."
"Isn't this a chance to show off your talents?"
"You can't say that, you can't say that, Wangjiang governance is not that good. It's simple. I'm just going to watch and observe, and I won't interfere. After all, so many lives are at stake.
Maybe my father wants me to go there and make meritorious deeds, but I don’t have this intention at all.”
It can be said that what the fifth prince said was very candid and straightforward.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of Jindi Tianji Pavilion?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Tianji Pavilion? I sent someone to inquire, and they said it died in the war."
"I have one or two Tianji Pavilion craftsmen and some drawings, etc. I can give it to His Highness after I return to Jin.”
“Hey, that’s a good feeling, that’s a good feeling.”
His Highness the Fifth rubbed his hands, looking very impatient.
It is impossible for Zheng Fan to send out the real core members of Tianji Pavilion. Now Xue San does not know whether he has returned from Liang Guo. In Xueguan, he has to rely on the disciples of Tianji Pavilion. Help yourself build siege engines.
After all, he married his sister.
Uncle Zheng is also a good man who pities his wife.
He must seize the time to clear the way for his wife to return to her parents' home.
The fourth prince said: "Uncle Hirano, is the wind and snow in the snowy field big?"
"It's just because I went to the snowy field that I understand why the savages have been longing for it. Enter the pass."
"So, is it possible for the savage disaster to return?"
Zheng Fan nodded and said, "This is inevitable, wait until this time. After the Snow Customs, I will organize my troops and go to the snowy plains to conquer again. I, Dayan, must not take the savages lightly, otherwise, if I am not careful, the savages may become the second barbarian tribe.”
If the imperial edict hadn't suddenly ordered him to enter the capital, he might have already sent troops by now.
The fourth prince sighed with emotion: "With Uncle Pingye at Xuehaiguan, I, the Northeast of Great Yan, will definitely have no worries. I also yearn for it."
Uncle Zheng obviously listened. There was a special flavor in it,
What,
does the fourth prince have any ideas?
The eldest prince went to Nanwang City through operations and became a partner with Xu Wenzu. Zheng Fan knew about this.
So, the fourth prince wanted to find another way because he failed to win the job in Nanwang City?
Of course, from Uncle Zheng's own perspective, he does not want a prince to be sent to his own territory. It will be too cumbersome and difficult to deal with.
But Uncle Zheng will not be too worried about this, because if the fourth prince dares to come, then he, Zheng Fan, dares to ask the Marquis of Jingnan for a military order to transfer the fourth prince to the Marquis himself. Cook.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
His Majesty's arrival means that the banquet has officially begun.
Chunfang Hall is divided into two interior and exterior quarters, one is the main residence and the other is the secondary residence. The latter is where the concubines sit.
Uncle Zheng also saw the princess sitting there. After the two looked at each other, they continued to deal with the people around them.
After taking their seats,
Uncle Zheng and Zhao Jiulang were very close to each other.
"I have met Mr. Zaifu."
"Uncle Hirano, I have long admired you."
The two of them greeted each other calmly.
In fact, there is still a feud between the two. Lord Zaifu's "alma mater" was destroyed by Uncle Zheng, who was still a guard at Cuiliu Fort.
But Uncle Zheng felt that Zhao Jiulang wouldn't care about such trivial matters. His blandness was not really bland, but rather normal. However, under the backdrop of the enthusiasm of others, it would inevitably make people feel Somewhat bland.
Actually,
The princes can do some tricks. After all, when the chicken grows up, it has to learn how to behave on its own.Spread your wings.
But if the prime minister wants to have too much thought about military power, he has really crossed the line.
Emperor Yan himself may not care, but for the sake of future generations, he cannot leave a prime minister who holds too much power and stretches his hands too far to continue to "assist" his successor behind him. This You are just digging a hole for your descendants.
Although in Xiong Liqing's view, the Dayan Palace is a bit "shabby" compared to the Chu Palace.
But at the banquet,
basic singing and dancing are still available.
Emperor Yan frequently raised his glasses, and everyone followed suit. The atmosphere of the banquet was always peaceful and lively.
When the banquet was halfway through,
the dancing girls and singers withdrew, and in another room, the concubines also resigned, and the princess also left together.
The Chunfang Palace suddenly became much deserted.
At this time,
Emperor Yan slowly put down his wine glass.
At this time,
Uncle Zheng noticed that Ji Laoliu and the fourth and fifth princes sitting opposite him began to quickly pull the food into his mouth, chew and swallow it.
“Every time I see Zheng Aiqing’s name on military memorials, I can’t help but sigh, God has treated me well, and has given me such young generals. This is my great Yan. "It's a blessing."
"Your Majesty is so flattering that I don't dare to accept it."
"No, if you dare to accept it, you should do it; alas, it's my sons who deserve it." We are considered to be of the same generation as you, so why are we so unsatisfied?
I remember that in those days, whenever there was a war, I, the son of the Ji family, would take the lead and fight bloody battles in front of others to be the cornerstone of the country. Now, I can’t do that anymore. ”
As soon as he finished speaking,
the prince left his seat,
the sixth prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and Xiao Qi, who saw that his brothers were all moved. They all left their seats and knelt down towards Emperor Yan,
said in unison:
"My son is guilty."
"My son is guilty."< /p>
Originally, all the princes just thought that their father had to go through another process.
Then you can just accompany your father to complete this process.
They are all eggs laid by a tortoise.
How can you not find some of the tortoise’s habits?
But,
Who would have known,
The next words of Emperor Yan,
made the princes who were kneeling below deeply moved. In surprise, even Zhao Jiulang, who was sitting next to Uncle Zheng, spilled a lot of wine in his glass.
Even Uncle Zheng did not expect that the originally peaceful and peaceful situation would suddenly be smashed directly into a huge boulder, and it was smashed down by Emperor Yan himself.
"Prince, tell me about your sins."
