Chapter 630 The secret message is sent and the banquet begins
Qin Shubao dragged his heavy mood back to his temporary residence.
His residence is in a manor next to the imperial city, living next to Zhang Liang.
Originally, Li Ye prepared two small mansions near the wall of the imperial city to allow the two to live in, but Qin Shubao and Zhang Liang thought it was too troublesome to enter and exit the imperial city, so they lived for a few days and asked Li Ye to change the place.
Although Li Ye knew what they were thinking, he did not force himself to stay.
Qin Shubao sat at the table, unfolded the rice paper, pondered for a while before he started writing.
"My minister Qin Qiong has been on an envoy in Xia Kingdom for more than a month. What he sees and hears is incredible..."
When writing secret letters every day, Qin Shubao will pay attention to sentence structures.
But the shock that gave him today was too terrifying, and Emperor Tang was not the ordinary monarch who focused on form.
Qin Shubao didn't know if he was qualified to give reference and evaluation, so he only wrote all the opinions and experiences on it.
"... Therefore, in my opinion, the new Emperor of Daxia in Daxia is not weaker than the prestige of our emperor in the Tang Dynasty. What is the reality? Please ask Your Majesty to judge for your own judgment.
There are all kinds of mistakes during this period, and I just wait for Qin Qiong to return to the court, so I can explain it in detail to Your Majesty.”
After the book, Qin Shubao blew the ink marks dry.
He took the envelope and put it in it and covered it with hot paint. Qin Shubao seemed to take off a heavy burden, and what he saw at the main gate of Wushi Imperial City appeared in front of him.
The Xiamin, who were full of vitality and faith, and those congratulations in unison.ωωw..net
It only made Qin Shubao feel like he was returning to the Tang Dynasty and seeing Emperor Tang again.
He sighed heavily again, took the envelope and walked out of the study.
Outside the study door, a servant was already waiting.
Qin Shubao handed the envelope to the other party.
"This is the past few days. You can report it to my emperor."
"Don't worry, Duke!"
The attendant bowed to Qin Shubao, turned around and ran out of the door.
Qin Shubao was about to go back to his room to rest when he suddenly remembered what Emperor Xia said today, the city had a grand banquet for seven days, and stopped again.
He didn't know how many people there were in the Xia Dynasty capital.
You can think of adding inside and outside, there are millions.
Inviting millions of people to dinner is not that simple.
It's done well, and it's hard to count money and materials.
But if you are like serving porridge to the victims, you will definitely be resentful by the people, so it is better not to do it.
After thinking for two seconds, Qin Shubao walked out.
He wanted to see what level was this Xia Emperor treating.
With Li Ye's order, he gave him the order.
Both inside and outside the imperial city started to move.
On the square outside the imperial city, wooden sheds were built up one by one. The main gate of the imperial city was opened, and the imperial guards stood still, and a large iron pot was passed through his hands.
The imperial chef wearing white clothes walked out of the imperial city quickly.
How could the imperial kitchen be missing when His Majesty feasted in the imperial city?
Thousands of chefs in the entire imperial kitchen were invited to help cook the dishes except for a few old imperial chefs who stayed in the palace to prevent the emperor and the harem from having no place to eat.
One by one, the ox carts were driven by people, and the imperial guards acted as porters and moved the ingredients transferred from outside the city to the imperial chefs.
There are yamen water trucks that bring river water, and there are hundreds of people who wash vegetables alone.
Someone brought tables, chairs and benches and placed in the square. A square and several streets leading to the square were placed at least thousands of tables and chairs.
And this is just a corner of the feast!
In addition to the main gate of the imperial city, all the major restaurants in the city received the emperor's will, spontaneously, moved out tables, chairs and benches, and placed two rows on the street at the door, with no end at a glance.
It can be said that apart from the tables, chairs, benches and royal objects in the palace, no bench can be found in any shop in the entire imperial city.
As afternoon approaches, tens of thousands of tables and chairs have been placed in the city, and each round can be used for 200,000 to 300,000 people to have dinner together.
The formation is magnificent and is rare in the world except for common in the army.
Qin Shubao strolled on the street.
I only saw many people dragging their families to grab the seats and wait for the food. Those who didn't get it were not in a hurry, and they were watching happily while kneading melon seeds.
All the way to the outside of the imperial city, it was occupied early.
He looked at the chef preparing in the distance and was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xia actually pulled out the imperial kitchen.
"Mr. Qin!"
Qin Shubao heard a greeting and looked over there, and saw Zhang Liang, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, looking at him.
He often sees this person in restaurants on weekdays, but the two sides have not communicated much and don’t know what the other party asks him to do now.
"Mr. Zhang."
Qin Shubao smiled and walked forward, waiting for the following text.
Zhang Liang winked at the entourage beside him.
The entourage was not very old, about twenty years old, sitting happily in his seat, and seemed to be looking forward to the meal.
Seeing Zhang Liang coming, a trace of grievance flashed across his face, but he still obediently moved away from his position.
"Mr. Qin, why are you here now?"
Seeing Qin Shubao sitting down, Zhang Liang asked with a smile.
“I stayed at home for a while.”
When he said this, Qin Shubao's expression was a little unnatural.
The two were envoys and their missions were almost the same. Zhang Liang came to the outside of the imperial city early to take up his seat, but he couldn't wait to finish his experience before leaving.
This comparison made him look a little anxious.
"Hahaha, you have to meet me, otherwise you may not be able to squeeze in in the second round."
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he pointed at the direction of the street.
When they learned that the imperial kitchen was cooking and holding a banquet in person, many people were already crowded on both sides of the street, staring at the people sitting in their seats.
At this time, who dares to be anxious, is afraid that he will not return to his original position as soon as he gets up.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Qin Shubao smiled and bowed.
The two of them had nothing to say.
After a moment, only the hissing sound of hot oil was heard, and the fragrance spread.
With great expectations, the imperial chefs finally started to take action.
At the same time, south of the imperial city.
Wang Feng was walking along the street with a few friends.
A group of people occupied half of the road, and they were arrogant and domineering, only to carve the playboy's travel on their faces.
There is a reason why Wang Feng is so arrogant.
His father is the current prefect of Jingzhao, a third-rank official, and even in the capital, he is still ranked first.
Before the new emperor ascended the throne, corrupt officials in the capital, led by Qin Hui and Qian Qianyi, had their private morals corrupted, and their family had a lot of naughty young people. At that time, Wang Feng did not dare to be arrogant, for fear of accidentally provoking someone.
The only son in the big man's family.
But after the new emperor ascended the throne, these corrupt officials were soon stewed with one spoon, and the dandy from various families were swept away.
Nowadays, most of the officials in the court are honest and honest, and they are responsible for their duties. There are few playboys in their families. As the older generation of playboys, Wang Feng was immediately prominent and became a famous little overlord in the capital.
Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a table next to the road, and his eyes narrowed.
