The wine and vegetables are presented like flowing water, nine small plates of mountain and river delicacies, five kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, two pots of red and white wine, and three kinds of cheese and snacks. The sumptuous banquet is so exciting that one person can’t finish it.

Regardless of the official position, the wine and food on each person’s desk are the same, the only difference is in tableware.

The third and fourth grade tableware is silver, the first and second grade is gold, and the Zong Wang, the Emperor and Empress and others are jade.

Li Luo picked up the heavy silver chopsticks, picked up a piece of stewed bear's paw, and savored it carefully. It felt like the taste was a bit like turtle meat, but it was even more delicious and mellow. It was really delicious.

This is his first time eating bear's paw.

It is estimated that a bear paw can only be made into three small discs. Tonight's palace banquet will consume 200 bear paws and need to hunt fifty black bears!

Li Luo suddenly felt heartbroken. It was not because of Kublai Khan, but because of the animals.

It’s fine if you have sea cucumbers, shark fins, etc., but even tiger meat and elephant pulls, they are really the enemy of environmental protection.

In addition, it’s not that the lazy toad wants to eat swan meat... Li Luo really eats swan meat.

tasty.

Even without chili and spices in later generations, it is delicious.

These are something that Li Luo has never eaten before.

If you ask how Li Luo knows what dish it is, it is because everyone has a "waiter", that is, a palace maid. Two high-ranking officials serve the banquet, and there is also one small official like Li Luo.

While sitting at the end, no other officials paid attention to him, Li Luo quietly took out a gem and stuffed it into the hand of the palace maid beside him, and whispered, "Sister, come and find a food box for me."

The little palace maid was a Han woman who entered the palace as a slave. Where did she see gems? She was shocked and happy.

Soon, the little palace maid brought a food box. Li Luo put some swan meat, tiger meat, bear's paw, elephant pull, etc., and prepared to take it back to feed the little policewoman.

Li Luo slowly savored the Western Regions wine, ate the delicacies of mountains and rivers, and watched the palace music and dance. It was a great pleasure.

Uncle Kublai Khan, a good person.

At this time, the music and dance in the hall became the "Two Dances of Civil and Military" of the elegant music. The song played first was "Changchun Willow" and then turned into "Jiyali".

Not long after, it was "The Demon Dance of the Western Regions". Sixteen Western Region girls dressed in feathers danced wildly and vigorously, and the music became more and more exciting. Li Luo couldn't help but be stunned. This was no different from the hot dances in later generations.

After the performance of "The Demon Dance of the Western Regions", it became Mongolian music "The Swan in the East of the Sea".

The banquet and dance in this palace turned out to be Han music, Hexi music, Hui music, and Mongolian music were performed one after another, which made Li Luo dizzy. Overall, his artistic level was extremely high, but he was still mainly Hu music, and Han music was just a foil.

After dancing a few songs, the music gradually stopped. Li Luo knew that the matter was coming.

Soon, everyone stopped the wine glasses and chopsticks, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

Then, Kublai Khan's powerful and gentle voice sounded. His voice was very distinctive and unforgettable.

"The ministers in the palace, who are the southerners, stand up and meet me."

When Kublai Khan saw that Xie Changyuan, Liu Mengyan and other ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty who surrendered to the Yuan court immediately stood up in panic and knelt down in the hall, although Kublai Khan said that they would stand up.

There were still quite a few people, and there were actually twenty or thirty people.

"Put it flatten, just flatten it!" The emperor laughed and said, "I don't mean to blame me."

Xie Changyuan and the southerners were relieved and said, "Thank you, Master!" and then stood up respectfully.

This scene has long made the Mongolian nobles present look contemptuous.

"You all were ministers of the Song Dynasty, but now the former lord is in this hall. Why don't you come out to pay a visit? Isn't that rude?" The emperor's voice became cold.

Everyone immediately understood the emperor's intention. This was to take out the monarchs of the Southern Song Dynasty and knock them out and knock them out when they were about to go on the northern tour, which made the southerners look embarrassed, and at the same time demonstrated that the Yuan Dynasty advocated integrity and maintained the rank of the superiors and inferiors.

More importantly, they beat the prince's real gold and suppress the Han and French forces. Because these southern ministers were almost the backbone of the prince's sinicization.

This is the emperor's heart-killing move.

Sure enough, Prince Jin's smile became stiff.

My father Khan was still as guessed as ever, and he was not even at ease with his own son.

Xie Changyuan, Liu Mengyan and others were extremely embarrassed and felt ashamed. Some of the decency that had finally established after surrendering to the Yuan court was immediately stripped down by Kublai.

They could only grit their teeth and faced with thick face to come to the deposed emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty and Xie Daoqing, bowed and said, "Old friends in Jiangnan, have met Duke Yingguo and Lady Shouchun."

The little boy was unaware of the sensation and could only bow his head to deal with the cheese on the table. Xie Daoqing and Quanjiu covered their faces with their sleeves and said, "I dare not bother you all to pay my respects, so please do it yourself."

Seeing this, the Mongolian nobles couldn't help laughing. But Kublai Khan didn't stop the rude jokes from his tribe, but just watched coldly.

When the Minister of Southerners returned to his seat, Kublai Khan said again, "Mrs. Shouchun, has there been no cost at the Duke of Yingguo's mansion?"

Xie Daoqing stood up tremblingly and said, "I thank Your Majesty for mercy. How could the Holy Emperor be above, so how could he lack the cost?"

Actually, she really wanted to say, why don’t you lack? It’s so short! You don’t even have 30% of the amount you pay. That’s all, but you’re still blackmailed for nothing. How can you live a life!

The Queen Mother Quan Jiu also complained in her heart.

Everyone is not a fool. You can tell whether the Duke of Yingguo’s mansion is good or not. Just look at the deposed emperor’s eating behavior. At this time, this little thing was like a poor man who had never seen the world. At first glance, he ate very poorly.

The Duke of Yingguo is a first-rank duke with a large salary. It is logical that he can live a wealthy life. I believe that their money has been blackmailed by the people who monitored them.

"If you lack the cost, you can enter the palace to find the queen." Kublai Kublai said perfunctorily. How could a person like Kublai Kublai Khan not know the embarrassment of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion? He just pretended to be confused.

The former Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing had to pinch his nose and thank him again, and his heart was so sad.

Kublai Khan said again, "Duke Yingguo, Wen Tianxiang still doesn't know the will of heaven now. If the king surrenders to his ministers, why is he really loyal? Let the Duke Yingguo go to the fence (Tianzhu) to persuade Wen Tianxiang. Tell the man who is as stubborn as an old cow that the minister surrenders with the king, which is true loyalty."

Of course, what did he say to Xie Daoqing? What does Duke Yingguo understand, a little kid?

Xie Daoqing hurriedly hugged the little boy and knelt down, "I and the Duke of Yingguo obeyed the sacred orders."

Mr. Wen was the last decent person in the Song Dynasty. Although she and the officials surrendered, she really did not want Mr. Wen to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, and she was even more unwilling to take the officials to persuade Mr. Wen to surrender.

But how could she disobey the orders of the Tartars? If that were true, could the small officials survive?

Kublai Khan was very satisfied with Daoqing's obedience and promised, "Wen Tianxiang is the top scholar in the Song Dynasty and is very talented. If he is willing to surrender, he can be the position of prime minister of the Secretariat, and he can do it. Lady Shouchun can give me the stubborn Saiyin Bige Chi (a good literati in Mongolian)."

After hearing the emperor's words, Liu Mengyan's old face became slightly hot. He was also the top scholar in the Song Dynasty, so why couldn't he be Saiyin Bige Chi?

When Li Luo heard Kublai Khan's words, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Wen Tianxiang could not surrender, and Kublai Khan was in vain.

Wen Tianxiang was not only the Zhao official family, but also the Chinese integrity and the Han family. Even if the Zhao official family was surrendered, he would not be surrendered.

Li Luo was thinking about how to rescue Wen Tianxiang. Fortunately, he was more than two years away from being killed in Chai City, and there was still time to plan.

Saving Wen Tianxiang is definitely not just for justice, but also for... profit.

Wen Tianxiang was a prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He was not only famous all over the world, but also a banner to capture the hearts of the people.

Moreover, Wen Tianxiang himself has strong abilities and is a master of the level of a great god. Wang Jiweng once said to Kublai Khan, "No one among the southerners can compare to Wen Tianxiang."

It would be a great thing if Wen Tianxiang could be rescued.

Kublai Khan continued, "I will leave Khan Balihe Tuo tomorrow and go to the capital to worship his ancestors. The matters of the Khan court will be temporarily taken by the prince. An Tong and Ahma, you must be careful to assist the prince. The Khan court affairs must be reported to the capital quickly, and I will personally decide."

What does careful assistance mean? If you think deeply, everyone will understand.

"Zha!" An Tong and Ahema stood up together to respond.

Kublai Khan looked at Zhang Sanfeng again, "Zhang Zhenren, you can go with him tomorrow."

Zhang Sanfeng gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey the imperial edict."

"Zhengdu!" Kublai Khan called another Mongolian name.

A Mongolian man stood up, "I'm here!"

"You must fly to Fujian like an eagle and take the rebellious slave Chen Dayan back to Khanbali and Tuo. After I return to Khan's court, I hope to see him and execute him with my own eyes." Kublai said coldly.

Wanzhedu beats his chest with his right hand and "Zhi!"
