One day later, Kangcheng and Taiji Hall were built.
The main hall where government affairs were handled in the past, where envoys from various countries were received, and where the most formal ceremonies were held, has now been transformed into a huge restaurant. The various couches where officials usually sit and discuss matters are filled with small cases and various exquisite works.
Delicious delicacies from the mountains and seas, and fine wines were placed on top of these small cases, and officials at all levels, dressed in red and purple, also took their seats one after another with smiles, and kept bowing to their familiar colleagues.
Wang Mi was dressed in a purple robe. As the current minister Zuo Pushe, he could be said to be the most important minister under Huan Xuan. He was smiling and kept saying hello to the senior officials who were descendants of aristocratic families. Today's
This banquet was arranged by him. It was a double celebration banquet to welcome the soldiers who went out to quell the Tianshi Dao Rebellion and to defeat the floods that had ravaged Jiankang City for many days. Moreover, it was said that at today's banquet,
There will be a great event to be announced to the ministers.
Yu Yue walked up to the main hall with a spring breeze on his face. Wang Mi greeted him with a smile and saluted each other: "Yu Gong, how is everything?"
Yu Yue smiled and said: "Wang Pushe has worked hard these days to fight floods and provide disaster relief. It is only natural that we would like to set up this celebration banquet for you today."
Wang Mi quickly waved his hand: "How can I take any credit? This is all due to Xianggong Huan's command, His Majesty's great blessings to heaven, and the joint efforts of soldiers and civilians all over the world, including colleagues like Yu Gong.
Running on the front line, I just put on a name and do my duty, nothing worth mentioning."
There was a burst of flattery sounds all around, Yu Yue stepped forward with a smile, and while saluting, he whispered: "Everything is ready. The queen finally gave in."
A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Mi's lips: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yu, please take a seat."
In another corner of the hall, Xi Sengshi and Xie Hun were wearing fifth-grade official robes, and were among a group of middle-class families. Everyone kept a distance from them intentionally or unintentionally. A few years ago, it would have been
What is unimaginable is that the dignified Xi and Xie families, who are the heads of the family, have become a middle-class family. It is no wonder that these two people have always looked gloomy and kept drinking.
Xi Sengshi frowned and looked at Wang Mi and Yu Yue who were sitting in front of the hall. He gritted his teeth and said, "When will it be their turn to give orders? Brother Xie, Madam..."
Xie Hun bit his lip tightly and whispered: "Well, the situation is irreversible. What a shame that Wang Mi actually brought a group of heads of aristocratic families to force his aunt to go to the palace, asking him to force his cousin to hand over the national jade seal.
Humph, they are openly plotting rebellion like this, and they all deserve to die!"
Liu Yi's voice sounded slowly from the side: "Master Xie, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If this is the case, don't say it. It's meaningless. Here today, we'd better keep our mouths shut and watch the show."
Xie Hun's expression changed, and Xi Sengshi on the side said in surprise: "Xile, why are you here?!"
Liu Yi, who was wearing the fifth-grade red robe of a civil servant, sat down next to Xie Hun and smiled slightly: "I heard that Huan Fujun from the Jiangnan Camp in Jingkou (Huan Xiu is the Fujun General) is coming to the banquet today. We from Jiangbei
How could Huan Zhenjun of the camp (Huan Hong is now the general of the Zhenjun) lag behind his brother? No, he also brought me to the banquet."
As he spoke, he pointed forward to see Huan Hong, who was holding hands with Wang Mi and speaking politely.
Xie Hun curled his lips: "Brother Xi Le, you should follow your general at this time. We are just two descendants of a down-and-out aristocratic family. We can't help your future, so why come here at this time?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "I, Liu Yi, have always liked to make friends with the children of high-ranking families, not to gain power, but just because I have similar interests and make friends. Last time Mr. Xie fought in Yuzhou, you and I cooperated with each other and worked together to defeat the enemy.
Demon thief, I have been in the army for many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a talented young man from a well-known family. Last time, because I returned to the army very quickly, I did not have time to have a close relationship with Mr. Xie. I wonder if Mr. Xie is willing to be friends with Mr. Liu today.
Where is a friend?"
Xie Hun laughed: "Anyone who is willing to make friends with me at this time will be my life-long friend. Last time, Liu Canjun helped me catch the enemy who killed my father and allowed me to avenge myself. I have not yet received this kindness."
It’s too late to repay. If you need anything from me in the future, just ask!”
Xi Sengshi looked at Liu Yi and smiled meaningfully: "Let me tell you, the third young master is the most sweet-tempered. He is completely different from the ordinary children of aristocratic families. Xile, you will definitely make friends with him."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "I hope we can be lifelong friends, advance and retreat together, and be rich and powerful together. By the way, Third Young Master, I heard Huituo (the nickname of Xi Sengshi) say that there may be something important at this banquet today.
What happened, I also heard that many important people from high-ranking families went to your Xie family yesterday, and then..."
Xie Hun hated the wine in the wine cup in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, wiped the wine drops on his lips, and said angrily: "Human feelings are cold and warm. I didn't expect that these things were at the feet of our Xie family before. I have to obey and obey."
Those guys who are like dogs have actually learned to come together to force her to have an eternity."
Liu Yi's face changed: "Forced to conceive? What do you mean? Hasn't Madam lived in seclusion in her hometown in Kuaiji for many years, and the Xie family has lived in peace with the world? Why would she come to Jiankang at this time, and still force her to conceive?"
Xi Le sighed and said, "Xile, you don't know something. Wang Mi and Yu Yue want to curry favor with Huan Xuan and help him do the abdication, so these days there is a lot of confusion among the major families in Jiankang City.
, many parties are working together to try to persuade them to join. You see, those sitting in the front row now are all aristocratic families who have been bribed by them these days and are willing to work together to persuade them to join!"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Now Xianggong Huan is so powerful, and it is well known that he wants to do what his father did not do back then. I know that the Xie family has always abided by their ministerial integrity and are not willing to take the lead in following the dragon at this time, but even if you don't
If we cooperate, they won’t come up and demand it. How can we start talking about forcing the uterus?"
Xie Hun said bitterly: "Do you think it's just a statement, a joint petition to persuade them to join? That's not what they want. I heard that Huan Xuan made a condition. If you want to have a place in the new dynasty in the future, you can continue to keep it.
If you want power, in addition to signing a petition to persuade them to join, you must also take out the imperial seal of the Jin Dynasty and hand it over with your own hands!"
Liu Yi's expression changed: "What? You want a jade seal?! This is too much! Even if this jade seal is to be given to Huan Xuan, it should be given by the emperor of the Jin Dynasty to show inheritance. This is the official procedure. Why?
meeting…………"
Xie Hun gritted his teeth and his eyes were red: "Isn't it because our Emperor is a waste and can't do this? So Wang Mi, as the Queen's cousin, will hand over the jade seal with his own hands today, and then let him,
Dedicate it directly to Huan Xuan!"
