Devil’s Advent

Chapter 488 Banquet

The place where the banquet is held is in Chunfang Hall.

The scale of the banquet was not large, and only Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister, accompanied the foreign ministers. The rest were all from the Ji family. It can be said that this could be regarded as a family banquet.

Of course, this doesn't mean that you don't pay attention to it. In fact, only those who really value it will invite you to eat at home.

Xiong Liqing was summoned by the harem. She is His Majesty's new conferred princess. The ladies in the harem have to give a meeting gift, talk about themselves, and give some gifts. This is the rule.

Uncle Zheng was led by Eunuch Wei into the Chunfang Palace. On the way, Eunuch Wei would turn his head to look at Uncle Zheng from time to time.

in the eyes,

have regrets,

there are complaints,

have regrets,

God hurt,

Seeing Uncle Zheng's heart fluttering.

"Eunuch Wei, you..."

Uncle Zheng couldn't help asking.

Wei Zhonghe smiled slightly, and said: "Tall, really tall, to tell you the truth, Uncle, the miscellaneous 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 are naturally well-behaved in front of His Majesty, and dare not go out of line in the slightest, but Uncle Hirano dared to joke in this way.

"My father-in-law was joking, and I'm just expressing my feelings."

"The miscellaneous family likes uncle, your shameless attitude."

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Hey, it's a pity. I'm not afraid of you getting angry, Uncle. When I first met Uncle, the miscellaneous family thought that it would be great if a talent like you, Uncle, could enter the palace."

"Forehead……"

"Of course, I'm the son-in-law now, so I can't enter the palace."

"Eunuch Wei, stop laughing at me."

"This is not a mockery, the miscellaneous family is sincere, the supervisor of ceremonies, there is only a shortage of talents like you, Uncle."

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness, thank you."

"Uncle, this is the Chunfang Hall. You are the protagonist today, sit second from the left, and Lord Zaifu sits above you."

"Okay, I see."

"Uncle, please sit down first, the other highnesses will arrive soon, and the miscellaneous family will go to other places to have a look."

"Eunuch, please be busy."

Uncle Zheng was not in a hurry to take a seat, but stood by the side, looking at the flowers and plants in front of him.

"Looks a little restrained?"

Ji Chengjue's voice came from behind Uncle Zheng.

Uncle Zheng didn't turn around, but just nodded.

"You have worked hard these past few years." Ji Chengjue said.

"Hypocritical."

"I just want to start, and then I can bring up the topic that it's me who's doing the real hard work."

"I know, so I don't want to cooperate."

"You know how miserable I was eating cornmeal the year before last?"

Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:

"It is already a very happy thing for many people in this world to be able to eat enough cornmeal."

"Bitch."

Uncle Zheng turned around, looked at Ji Chengjue, and said:

"Cornmeal brutes."

"..." 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 is no need to kneel down, but if he wanted to, he cupped his hands and said:

"I have seen His Highness the Fourth, and I have seen the Fifth Highness. Today, I have worked hard for the Fifth Highness."

"Uncle Hirano, this is the first time we've met, right?" The Fifth Prince said enthusiastically.

"That's why I feel even more sorry."

He is now a watchman of the Ministry of Industry, and he will go out of Beijing with Uncle Zheng to return to Jindi in a few days, so he will inevitably be more enthusiastic towards Uncle Zheng.

In the capital, he was the prince, the prince, but outside the capital, especially in Jin, to be honest, this title was not so useful.

Although Dayan's officialdom is not like that of the Qian Kingdom, the scholar-bureaucrats have a natural contempt for the vassal kings, but for the princes who have no power and power, the big guys will try their best to separate the relationship as much as possible.

Because the wind is clear,

The future crown 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 other princes.

Going to get close to the prince right now is a sin after the new emperor ascends the throne.

It is very difficult to win from the merit of the dragon, but there is no need to arouse the hatred of the new emperor for yourself, right?

"Where is it, this is what I should do." The fifth prince was still very kind, with a pure smell of wood curly flowers.

"I heard that His Highness the Fifth Prince likes craftsmen?"

"Yeah, I'm not interested in other things, but I like to study this. For this reason, I was often reprimanded by my father for not doing my job properly."

"Isn't it just a chance to display your talents this time?"

"You can't say that, you can't say that, the management of Wangjiang is not that simple, I will go, just look around, observe and observe, and will not interfere randomly, after all, so many lives are involved.

Maybe the father meant that he wanted me to go there to make meritorious service, but I didn't have such thoughts at all. "

It can be said that what the Fifth Prince said was very frank and straightforward.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you have heard of Jindi Tianji Pavilion?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Tianji Pavilion? I sent someone to inquire about it, and they said it died in the flames of war."

"I have taken one or two craftsmen of Tianji Pavilion and some blueprints there. After returning to Jindi, I can give it to His Highness."

"Hey, that's a good relationship, that's a good relationship."

His Highness the Fifth Highness rubbed his hands, looking impatient.

It is impossible for Zheng Fan, the real core member of Tianji Pavilion, to send it away. Now Xue San doesn't know if he has returned from Liang Guo. In Xuehaiguan, he still has to rely on the disciples of Tianji Pavilion to help him build siege equipment.

After all, married someone else's sister,

Uncle Zheng is also a good man who takes pity on his wife.

You have to hurry up and open up the way for your wife to return to her natal family as soon as possible, right?

The fourth prince said, "Uncle Hirano, how big is the snowstorm in the snow field?"

"Big, it's because I went to the snowfield that I understand why the savages are always eager to enter the customs."

"In this way, the scourge of the savages, is there a possibility of resurgence?"

Zheng Fan nodded and said: "This is inevitable. After returning to Xueguan this time, I will organize soldiers and horses to go to the snowfield to fight again. I, Dayan, must not take the savages lightly, otherwise the savages may be killed if they are not careful. Become a second barbarian."

If it hadn't been for the imperial decree to suddenly order him to enter the capital, he might have sent troops by now.

The fourth prince said with emotion: "With Uncle Hirano in Xueguan, I will be in the northeast of Great Yan, and I will definitely have no worries. I also yearn for it."

Uncle Zheng could clearly hear a special taste in it,

how,

Does the fourth prince have an idea?

The eldest prince went to Nanwang City through operation and partnered with Xu Wenzu. Zheng Fan knew about this.

So, the fourth prince wanted to find another way because he couldn't get the errand in Nanwangcheng?

Of course, from Uncle Zheng's point of view, he didn't want a prince to be sent to his territory, it would be too cumbersome and difficult to deal with.

But Uncle Zheng would not be too worried about this, because if the fourth prince dared to come, then he, Zheng Fan, would dare to ask the Marquis of Jingnan for a military order to transfer the fourth prince to the Marquis himself as a cook.

"His Majesty is here!"

The arrival of His Majesty means that the banquet has officially started.

Chunfang Hall is divided into two rooms inside and outside, one is the main room, and the other is the auxiliary room, the latter is where the concubines sit.

Uncle Zheng also saw the princess sitting there. After the two exchanged a glance, they continued to deal with the people around them.

After being seated,

Uncle Zheng and Zhao Jiulang were very close.

"I have met Lord Zaifu."

"Uncle Hirano, I have long admired you."

The two greeted each other casually.

In fact, there was still a festival between the two of them. Master Zaifu's "alma mater" was trampled down by Uncle Zheng, who was still guarding Cuiliu Castle back then.

But Uncle Zheng thinks that Zhao Jiulang shouldn't care about such trivial matters. His plainness is not really plain, but rather normal, but it will inevitably make people feel a little plain against the enthusiasm of others.

Actually it is,

The princes can do some little tricks, after all, the chicks have to learn to spread their wings when they grow up.

But if the prime minister of the current dynasty wants to have too much thought about military power, it is really crossing the line.

Yanhuang himself may not care about it, but for the sake of future generations, it is impossible for him to leave a prime minister who is too powerful and stretches his hands too far behind him to continue "assisting" his successor. This is digging a hole for his descendants .

Although in Xiong Liqing's opinion, the Dayan Palace is a bit "poor" compared to the Chu Palace.

But at the banquet,

Basic singing and dancing are still there.

Emperor Yan toasted frequently, and everyone also cheered. The atmosphere of the banquet was always peaceful and lively.

When the banquet was halfway through,

The dancers and singers withdrew, and the concubines and concubines also withdrew, including the princess.

In Chunfang Hall, it became much deserted all of a sudden.

And at this time,

Yanhuang slowly put down his wine glass.

at this time,

Uncle Zheng noticed that Ji Laoliu and the fourth and fifth princes who were sitting opposite him began to quickly pull food into his mouth to chew and swallow.

"Every time I see Zheng Aiqing's name on military memorials, I can't help but sigh with emotion. God treats me with no kindness, and treats me with kindness. It is my great fortune to bestow such young generals on me."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

"No, if you dare to do it, you should do it too; alas, these sons of mine are considered to be of the same generation as you, so why are they so unworthy?

I think back then, every time my Jijiaerlang had a war, I would take the lead, fight bloody battles before others, and be the cornerstone of the country. Now, it is no longer possible. "

As soon as the voice fell,

The prince leaves his seat,

The sixth prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and Xiao Qi, who saw that his brothers were all moving, also left their seats and knelt down in front of Emperor Yan.

Said in unison:

"My son is guilty."

"My son is guilty."

Originally, the princes just thought that their father had to go through another process,

Then the big guy will accompany the father to complete this process.

They are all eggs laid by a bastard,

Where can you not find some bastard habits?

but,

Who knows,

Yanhuang's next sentence,

But it surprised the kneeling princes,

Even Zhao Jiulang, who was sitting next to Uncle Zheng, spilled a lot of wine from his cup.

Even Uncle Zheng didn't expect that the originally calm and peaceful situation would suddenly be smashed into a huge boulder, and it was the Emperor Yan himself who smashed it down.

"Prince, tell me about your sins."
