Chapter 174: During the banquet

Xu time has arrived.

In the Tai Chi Palace, a banquet was held for all the ministers.

Arranged according to the rank of officials, Zhuge Liang and Cao Shen sit opposite each other, followed by Chen Qingzhi, Xiao Yuming, Jian Yi, then the Grand Manager Youyun, and finally the eleventh Jiedu Envoy of the Wei Dynasty.

Everyone lined up in two rows, leaving enough space in the middle.

The banquet had just started, but Zhao Changqing hadn't come yet.

A group of officials from the frontiers hurriedly toasted to Zhuge Liang and others who had followed the current emperor all the way to Chang'an. They all wanted to chat with each other. After all, as we all know, they are popular people in front of His Majesty.

Zhuge Liang and the others also had a great time chatting with these feudal officials.

After three rounds of drinking, the palace music started, and several palace dancers danced in the empty space between the two rows, sometimes flirting with the ministers vaguely, sometimes quietly coming to them and toasting them.

, but without any ,active physical contact.

Because there are palace rules in the palace, they are all the emperor's women and cannot take the initiative to have physical contact with the opposite sex. However, it is different when these ministers take the initiative.

This is one of the reasons why many ministers of the court like to ask His Majesty to call the entertainers outside the palace when the Emperor holds a banquet.

You can only feast your eyes, but hardly have any physical contact. This is really like starving to death.

After a while, Zhao Changqing came.

Zhao Gao quickly shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"

Afterwards, both the musicians and the ministers returned to their positions obediently, knelt down and said in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty!"

Only in this way can Zhao Changqing come to the main seat and sit down.

He looked at the more than ten feudal officials, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "These people grew up on whatever they ate, and each one is stronger than the other."

The feudal officials all have a muscular figure, and they look evil just sitting there.

However, no matter how strong the evil spirit on their bodies is, it is nothing compared to the domineering aura revealed in Zhao Changqing. Their temperament is simply vulnerable to Zhao Changqing.

"Let all these musicians go down," Zhao Changqing said to Zhao Gao beside him.

He looked down upon these vulgar girls at all, even though they would be regarded as goddesses by the world outside the palace.

But after living in the palace for so long, no matter how beautiful the goddess is, she is tired of aesthetic appreciation. Only a goddess like Mi Yue can make him slightly moved.

But women like that are rare in the world.

Zhao Gao nodded and led the musicians down.

Later, Zhao Changqing asked them to stand up and sit down, and then raised their glasses. Seeing this, all the ministers hurriedly raised their glasses, only to hear him say: "There are many new faces among you, and they are all officials from various places.

I have to thank you, it is you who guard the country of Wei for me."

The words fell and he drank it all in one gulp.

They waited until he finished drinking before they dared to drink the wine in his hand.

Afterwards, the feudal officials bowed to Zhao Changqing one after another and said things like, 'Your Majesty, I don't dare to do this!'

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "Of course you deserve it. If you hadn't listened to Zhao Changyuan's call when I attacked the capital, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to sit in this position today."

When these words were said, all of them were extremely shocked, and of course they were also accompanied by some random thoughts.

They did not think that it was a good thing that they did not assist Zhao Changyuan at the time, because Zhao Changyuan was the emperor at the time and had the emperor's order in front of them. They themselves were still so hesitant and hesitant to send troops. Even if they did send troops, they would try every means to delay time and let the troops go.

Unable to reach Chang'an in time.

So when the current emperor encounters the same thing, what will His Majesty think of them?

Therefore, they are very worried at the moment.

The then General Manager Youyun thought for a while, stood up and bowed: "It is only with the blessing of heaven and man that your majesty can unify the world. Your majesty, to be honest, after you led the troops to defeat the Chu army and was granted the title of Queen of Qi, I hope that

One day, you can become the co-leader of the Wei Dynasty, because only you can lead the Wei Dynasty to prosperity!"

As soon as these words came out, people began to praise Zhao Changqing one after another.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said nothing.

After they all finished speaking, he said: "You are very considerate, I know this, but I am not a waste like Zhao Changyuan. It was his fault that he did not treat you well after he became emperor.

From now on, I will definitely treat you kindly, and you can just do whatever you want in your own fiefdom."

He was a little happy, because these people were as fat as Maitreya Buddha, and they spoke so nicely. They must be on the same side as He Shen, and the reason why they did not rescue Zhao Changyuan was probably because they were greedy for pleasure and did not want to be involved in the war.

.

In this case, such talents must be put to good use! Let them work hard in their own fiefdom, which is also a kind of hidden stupidity!

But they thought a little too much.

After listening to what Zhao Changqing said, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They were all trying to figure out what Zhao Changqing meant.

What does it mean that Emperor Ling didn't treat us well? Does he have the time and opportunity?

Your Majesty, you said you would treat us well?

Hey, how can I be kind to you?

Why do you feel this sentence is so unkind?

Also, what is your own fiefdom?

We are not kings!

At best, in front of Your Majesty, I am just a frontier official serving in another place!

It is said that Po Tian is only a third-grade official.

The general manager of Youyun March is only of the second rank.

As long as there is an opportunity, who would not want to work in the central government?

Even if you are demoted one level, that’s fine!

Officials from the central government are like imperial envoys when they go to the local level!

If you mention that you are a Beijing official, will you not be respected wherever you go?

Still doing whatever you want?

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can just say that you are dissatisfied with what we are doing locally and that's it. Why are you saying such irony?

Our hearts trembled when we heard it...

The ministers didn't know what to say for a moment, and they all became speechless.

There were also some people who felt that the emperor's tone was unkind and did not dare to speak nonsense.

When Zhao Changqing saw that they were silent, he thought it was their acquiescence.

So I thought in my mind: "You guys can just build it locally!"

He raised his glass again, looked at Chen Qingzhi, and said with a bad face: "This second glass of wine should be dedicated to Chen Qingzhi! He won six passes of the Jin Kingdom in a row. This feat, except for the battle between Zhao State and Jin State, has not been achieved in recent times.

There has been no such feat in recent years! So, be respectful!”

There's nothing wrong with this.

After Chen Qingzhi thanked His Majesty, the monarch and his ministers drank together.

Although it sounded like there was nothing wrong with him, Chen Qingzhi, Cao Shen and others noticed something was wrong with his expression.

Sure enough, after drinking, they heard the emperor's strange voice, "General Chen really fought a good battle! Do you know what the people of Wei say about Chen Qingzhi now?"

It is said that he is a divine general from heaven who has descended to earth, and that the sage of war and martial arts is still alive. What's more, he is said to be the number one general of the dynasty. After all, since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has been no general who has expanded its territory!

It’s really prestigious, don’t you think, General Chen?”

Zhao Changqing's words really didn't mean much. He simply wanted to express his dissatisfaction.

What god from heaven will come down to earth?

Isn't it the system's fault?

Because of the system, because of Chen Qingzhi, he accidentally became a generation of emperors who opened up new territories. How could he bear this?

I'm almost depressed to death because of this!

But Chen Qingzhi and others don’t think so!

They felt that what His Majesty said was straightforward enough.

I just feel that Chen Qingzhi’s achievements are so impressive!

Otherwise, why is there a hint of anger in the emperor's words?

No matter how he said it, Chen Qingzhi was frightened by these words.

Come to think of it, which minister can't be afraid when he hears the emperor speaking to him in this tone?

You know, when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down, and blood will flow for thousands of miles!

Especially the silent anger is the most frightening and heart palpitating.

The ministers couldn't help but steal a few glances at Zhao Changqing.
