The guests sit down and the banquet begins.
Outside the Moon Worship Tower, the entire street and the surrounding areas were fully guarded. Everyone knew how big the banquet at the Moon Worship Tower was today. Even if there were a few mistakes at this time, it would be a big deal. This is not allowed.
Upstairs, the lights are bright.
The huge banquet hall on the third floor was separated by exquisite screens. The dignitaries entered the main hall known as the Hongmen one after another, and the gentle and quiet girls began to wait on them. Get up, plate the dishes, and pour the wine.
At today’s dinner, the specifications were obviously stretched to their maximum capacity.
A variety of exquisite snacks and desserts were neatly placed on the large round plum wood table in front of you, and the plates and plates for eating were all brand new blue and white porcelain, and even the adults The drinks consumed today are all different. Some people like the wine with very low alcohol content, such as the people from Dali Temple, and the third prince sitting next to Fan Xian. Some people like the Shao Gong wine that is so strong that it irritates their throats. , such as the eldest prince and several deputies of the Privy Council.
Interestingly, what was in the pot in front of Lu Ze was grape juice.
Lu Ze is not addicted to alcohol. Only under special circumstances will he choose to drink a few drinks.
For Lu Ze, today's situation is obviously a simple dinner party. Fan Xian, the boss of Baiyuelou, seems to be vaguely aware of Lu Ze's self-confidence from this point. , even conceited.
I don’t want to drink.
Then I won’t drink.
It’s that simple.
"Do whatever you want"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has the most special status among the Qing Kingdom royal family, is actually such a person at heart"
Fan Xian's heart sank slightly.
What he didn’t know was that Lu Ze simply didn’t want to go home smelling of alcohol, because today’s dinner probably wouldn’t last long, and Wan’er and the child shouldn’t be there when he returns home. After going to bed, Lu Ze toasted without drinking the fine wine. The grape juice was just right.
In fact, the two words on the shiny gold plaque at the door have already explained the problem.
Hongmen Banquet.
After the banquet officially started, these beautiful, gentle and quiet girls began to serve the guests wine and food, but their behavior could not help but seem a bit reserved, even though they had seen many powerful people in the romantic field. Characters, but how can they be compared with today's game
The banquet at the beginning was still a little quiet and dull.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the Supervisory Yuan Chief Fan Xian was hosting today. Naturally, it was not just a drinking party. Considering Fan Xian’s position alone, it was impossible for him to invite someone of this caliber. His status as an illegitimate son of the royal family and the impact of this assassination in the suburbs of Beijing were too great, so today's Hongmen Banquet was held.
"Everyone knows that Mr. Xiao Fan raided the Ming family according to the order and saved a lot of money from the inner treasury for me."
"Today's specifications are no better than those in the palace. Bad. ”
The second prince Li Chengze was the first to start the conversation.
Everyone was unclear whether the second prince was deliberately implying something sarcastic. Although the second prince’s smuggling with the Ming family was not It was completely exposed in the court, but in fact many people knew that he was the owner who did business with the eldest princess.
The second prince was also vaguely behind the Niulan Street assassination.
Fan Xian’s expression did not change.
“In life, it is natural to enjoy it. ”
“No one can say what will happen next moment. "
Everyone was silent.
Knowing that Fan Xian was alluding to the assassination in the suburbs of Beijing, the two deputy envoys of the Privy Council drank a glass of strong tribute wine with lowered eyebrows.
Lu Ze ignored what was going on between Fan Xian and the second prince.
He was just minding his own taste of the delicious delicacies in the hall, while the two waiters beside him. One woman has a beautiful appearance and a slender waist, and the other has a round figure and a lot of money. Lu Ze doesn't do anything extraordinary. He only occasionally touches his little hands and talks and laughs between ears and temples. He seems to be the real one. He was the one who came to the banquet.
Being with Fan Xian was the shopkeeper of Baiyue Tower, Ms. Xiao Pingxiao.
The shopkeeper was not that gorgeous. Shangdu is an ordinary type, but he is famous for his melodious and beautiful voice. When many wealthy and powerful people in Kyoto hold banquets at their houses, they will invite Miss Xiao to attend. < /p>
Before, the second prince had a good relationship with the shopkeeper.
But something happened later. Miss Xiao’s songs that shocked Kyoto were circulated, and people became aware of them later. , it turned out to be the lyrics written by Mr. Fan.
The second prince lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Ze at the main seat.
Then he smiled at Fan Xian. Indeed, isn't it sung in Miss Xiao's song? To be happy in life, you must have all the fun. Thanks to Miss Xiao for planning today's banquet, I would like to propose a toast to you. ”
The second prince raised his glass to Xiao Ping who was beside Fan Xian.
No one was very surprised by the second prince’s behavior. Everyone knew that the second prince was always polite and virtuous. , no matter who you treat, it doesn't matter too much about status, which is why the second prince has a good reputation in Kyoto in recent years.
Some people are just thinking in their hearts that the second prince takes all the credit for today's dinner. It all comes down to this shopkeeper, where is today's real protagonist Fan Xian?
Not long after the banquet started, the silent smell of gunpowder was gradually revealed.
At this moment, everyone admired His Highness the Crown Prince who was chatting and laughing with the two beautiful women in the main seat. This His Highness could really ignore everything on the scene and just enjoy the beauty, delicious food and beautiful grape juice.
Hearing this, Xiao Ping was slightly startled and turned to look at Fan Xian beside her, who smiled and nodded at her.
Xiao Pin stood up, bowed to the second prince, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He also toasted to Lu Ze and the eldest prince in a polite and appropriate manner, and even said to him in the end The third prince toasted.
At this time, the voice of the second prince came up again, "Miss Xiao has not sang her singing voice in public for a long time. It is rare that all the adults are here today, and there will be a program to add to the fun. Can you please ask Miss Xiao Pin to sing a song for me to wait for?" It's a blessing to be able to hear it today."
Xiao Pin nodded slightly and just stood up to get the guqin, but unexpectedly, Fan Xian next to her grabbed her hand.
Fan Xian's face was dull and he looked at the second prince quietly, "Sorry, Your Highness, Miss Xiao has stopped singing."
Everyone at the banquet was stunned.
Obviously, Fan Xian did not expect that Fan Xian would refute the second prince's face over such a trivial matter.
Today’s dinner was about everyone sitting together to test each other’s attitudes, and even the theme of most of the dinner was this. For the so-called benefit, they kept changing cups, coming and going, and finally spent nine The power of the cow and the tiger reached a weak balance of interests, and everyone was happy.
But Fan Xian's response was so disrespectful and disrespectful.
"What Mr. Xiao Fan said, regardless of the adults present, just because of the status of several princes, shouldn't it be possible for shopkeeper Xiao to work hard and use her voice? Is it possible that she still has a golden voice? It won’t work.”
The person who spoke was Chen Zhenyi, deputy envoy of the Privy Council.
This assassination in the suburbs of Beijing created a gap between Fan Xian and the Qingguo military that was difficult to heal.
The military and the Oversight Council need to cooperate in a tacit understanding on the battlefield. The Privy Council does not know who specifically made the move here, but the entire courtyard is not happy to see it. The Overwatch Council mentioned this. Si will inherit Chen Pingping's courtyard in the future.
Even if he is the emperor's illegitimate son.
Faced with Deputy Chen’s persecution, Fan Xian did not get angry at all. He smiled softly, "Now Miss Xiao Ping only sings in Chen Garden. If Mr. Chen really wants to listen, then Just ask Dean Chen, you two are from the same family, I don’t think Dean Chen will refuse.”
The smile on the second prince’s face turned pale.
Deputy Chen's face turned red, he snorted softly, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
At this time, the atmosphere at the dinner table became extremely quiet. The chatter and laughter between Lu Ze and the woman beside him became much louder. Fan Xian looked at Lu Ze again without changing his expression and spoke softly. "Might His Royal Highness also want to listen to music?"
At this time, the third prince, who was next to Fan Xian, calmly pulled his master Fan Xian.
Even the third prince felt that Fan Xian was showing too much sharpness at this moment, and even the East Palace, who had no intention of today's gunfight, was dragged in.
Lu Ze stopped talking and laughing with the two women beside him, turned to look at Fan Xian, and said seriously, "I think so."
In an instant, the atmosphere at the dinner became more serious. It's getting weird.
The smile on the second prince’s faceRong appeared again, and the two deputy envoys of the Privy Council looked at Fan Xianshan with mocking eyes. This illegitimate son from Danzhou was really embarrassing to the extreme. At this time, he even wanted to show off his skills with His Highness the Crown Prince.
"My Wan'er has had nothing to do in the house recently, and somehow she got into the art of folk music. I originally thought that I could find someone in Beijing who knows music to teach her. Miss Xiao Ping is definitely the one. The most suitable candidate."
Lu Ze settled the matter with a few words.
If you, Fan Xian, use that old guy from Chen Yuan as a shield, then I will use my daughter-in-law to speak out. After all, Chen Pingping is still Emperor Qing’s old black dog. How can this old guy still come out? Come to the ring with my Wan'er
Lu Ze had no idea what to do.
But since Fan Xian wants to come out to make a presence known, Lu Ze will only agree to it.
The smile on Fan Xian’s face has disappeared.
Because he also remembered that the girl with chicken legs that he missed most was now the mistress of the East Palace.
"Drink"
"Eat food"
Even if the eldest prince's loud voice sounded, he took the initiative to come to the rescue.
Lu Ze toasted to the elder brother with a calm expression, did not look at Fan Xian again, and then began to taste the dishes again.
But everyone knew in their hearts that the owner of the dinner party, Mr. Xiao Fan, had suffered a big loss this time.
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
Kyoto becomes extremely lively after nightfall, and restaurants of all sizes are overcrowded. But what many people don’t know is that under the hazy night, there are people in the courtyard called the Overwatch Council. It was a fish and dragon that came out and started to rotate like a precision instrument.
That night, Fan Xian held a banquet in the Moon Worship Tower to entertain the princes and dignitaries.
But the real purpose was to take action outside the Moon Worship Tower. Mr. Xiao Fan, who was determined to retaliate, naturally did not forget the hatred of being assassinated in the suburbs of Beijing, although the black hand hidden in the dark was not yet complete at this time. was exposed, but Fan Xian still chose to take action against the enemies.
In the court, the Ye family became the scapegoat for this assassination.
Outside the court, the second prince and the eldest princess became the targets of Fan Xian's revenge.
Accompanying the second prince to the Moon Worship Tower tonight is the swordsman he trusts and values the most, the fast sword Xie Bian.
The second prince just thought that Fan Xian would not be bold enough to attack him. This assassination had nothing to do with the second prince, so he asked Xie Bian to go back and rest early, which also showed his respect for this man. The swordsman who is about to enter the ranks of the ninth rank pays attention.
The second prince did not expect it.
This move turned out to be the grave where Xie Bian was buried.
Fan Xian in the Moon Worship Tower did not take the heavy loss he had just suffered to heart, although the importance he attached to Lu Ze in his heart had risen to an extremely terrifying level. Fan Xian saw that Lu Ze was calm and composed. Looks like, I don’t know where his confidence lieswhere.
As time passed, the atmosphere at the dinner finally became a little more harmonious.
Fan Xian recounted his encounter on the outskirts of Beijing, "I never thought that the power of military crossbows could be so powerful. No wonder masters below the master level would not easily fight with each other on the battlefield. There are so many ants." It can kill an elephant in the future, and the seventy-armed military crossbow alone is already terrifying to that point. If... Many people have forgotten what kind of character I am."
This is a character who dared to beat up the Master of the Secretariat in public at night just after arriving in Kyoto.
What's more, there are several more labels attached to him at this time.
After hearing this, the second prince felt that there was a thick gloom in his heart. Tonight's dinner was far more peaceful than he imagined. Apart from the unpleasantness at the beginning, everyone was just chatting. It seemed that It's no different from a simple banquet.
Soon, it became noisy outside the Moon Worship Tower.
Many forces had their eyes and ears and hurriedly came forward to report. In the end, only the eldest prince and Lu Ze had no one to whisper in their ears. The eldest prince frowned and looked at Fan Xian, "What happened?" "
The second prince's slightly rosy cheeks instantly turned pale, and his expression looked a little painful, but it soon returned to its original state.
After Lu Ze saw it, the corners of his mouth raised, expressing admiration for his second brother's reaction.
"The second prince's family, generals and ministers were all killed tonight."
"Among them, Xie Bi'an, an eighth-grade master of the fast sword, died from a random arrow piercing his heart."
"Master Xiao Fan, don't you want to say something?"
Privy Council Deputy Chen's face was equally ugly.
Even the military did not expect that Fan Xian's counterattack would be so straightforward, and he would even dare to kill someone openly.
I saw Fan Xian tilting his head with a thick smile on his face. Looking at the shocked expressions of everyone on the field, he felt extremely happy in his heart: "Oh, are they all dead? But this is with me. What does it have to do with it? Maybe they offended someone they shouldn't have offended on the street."
But when he looked at Lu Ze, he looked calmer than his own.
Fan Xian suddenly felt that he was not so happy either.
The dinner came to an end so quickly, and the adults left one after another.
This time, not only the second prince's lineage suffered a brutal blow, but also some low-ranking officials in the court were taken away and imprisoned by the Overwatch Council. The scale of Fan Xian's counterattack this time seemed to be greater than that of the people. In imagination, it is more extreme and bloody.
Before leaving, Lu Ze, who had eaten and drank enough, turned his head and showed a sincere smile to Fan Xian.
"My father told me yesterday to let me marry your sister."
"Don't be so hostile to me. Maybe we are all a family."< /p>
At this moment, Fan Xian’s faceIt's as ugly as eating a fly. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
