Chapter 10 No Good Banquet (Part 2)

The banquet begins.

A tall and strong man came up with food. Zhang Yuandong glanced at it and thought to himself: "Why are the people serving food and meals all soldiers?"

As we all know, whether it is a family or a royal palace, the people who do this work are usually girls and slaves.

When he thought of this, Zhang Yuandong became even more puzzled.

He suddenly remembered that he had never seen a woman since he entered Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

The people who filled the house were basically tall and strong men.

At this time, Feng Ronghe poured himself a glass of wine and raised it to pay tribute to Su Yuan.

"Your Majesty, you are a young and talented young man. He is very handsome. I would like to propose a toast to Rong He!"

After saying that, he took a few sips and drank it.

Su Yuan also picked up the wine glass and took a symbolic sip.

This made several people couldn't help but secretly say: "This boy is really Su Tufeng's biological son??"

They had all had drinks with Su Tufeng and knew how rich the old Zhenbei King was.

Everyone else used cups, but Su Tufeng just used a plate.

You have a drink, I have a plate, and as a result, they drank back and forth, but they were the ones lying down, while Su Tufeng was able to laugh loudly and with great pride.

This made all of them admired in their hearts.

But now this New Town North King...

Several people looked at Su Yuan secretly.

In terms of appearance, Su Yuan inherited Su Tufeng's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and the overall outline was more like his mother, the chivalrous girl from Jiangnan, who looked a bit gentle and gentle.

Su Yuan, who combines the two, has a very outstanding appearance.

When Zhang Yuandong was in his family, he had the honor to enter the palace with the patriarch and met several princes. Judging from their appearance, those princes were all very different from Su Yuan.

But in terms of personality...

Several people felt that Su Yuan's personality was completely different from that of Su Tufeng, the North King of the old town.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

None of the five clan leaders moved quickly.

It's not that they don't dare to eat, or that they're not hungry, but... the food tastes just average.

They usually eat at home or go to Xinyang Tower. The chefs cook the food, and the food is delicious and delicious.

As a result, the food at Zhenbei Wangfu didn’t taste bad, but it was quite average.

Su Yuan didn't think so and ate it with gusto.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who told the cook to summon soldiers?

Because he was afraid that someone might poison the food, Su Yuan gave the task of cooking to the summoned soldiers. Once it was familiar, he believed that he would do better and better.

Now that they were almost done eating, several clan leaders looked at each other and knew it was time to get down to business.

"cough."

Zhang Yuandong coughed.

As the head of the five major families, he must be the one who stands out.

"Your Majesty." He looked at Su Yuan's face and said tentatively, "There is something..."

Su Yuan glanced at him: "Far East, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Seeing that Su Yuan seemed to be in a good mood, Zhang Yuandong immediately said: "That's right, Your Majesty, a lot of our shops seemed to have been occupied by His Majesty's men the day before yesterday... Do you think there is any misunderstanding in this?"

As soon as these words came out, the other four people all looked at Su Yuan, waiting for his reply.

They wanted to treat Su Yuan to dinner and give him gifts, so naturally this was the reason.

Zhang Yuandong, in particular, did not hesitate to offer a treasured "Qi Sea Cloud Condensing Pill" in order to get closer to Su Yuan and gain trust.

Su Yuan exclaimed: "So that's what happened. Yes, there is indeed a misunderstanding."

Hearing what he said, several people looked happy.

However, Su Yuan's next sentence made them feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

"I should invite some of you here first, inform them, and then bring those shops over. No, with your understanding, I don't need them, so I will give them to you."

"…………"

The five people were stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It was Zhang Yuandong who came to his senses and said with an embarrassed expression: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

After Su Yuan had eaten enough, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said calmly: "Don't you know what this king means?"

Several people looked at each other and said in unison: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"Okay, then I will tell you clearly." Su Yuan leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, "Before I tell you something clearly, I will ask you something first. You should know how the eldest princess Jiuyang died.

"

As soon as Su Yuan said these words, the dinner table suddenly fell into dead silence.

Zhang Yuandong and others never expected that Su Yuan would actually talk about such a thing.

You must know that since ancient times, killing one's mother and killing one's father has been a treasonous act. No matter how reasonable the person who does it is, he will be given the title of "unfilial son".

The Zhou Dynasty has governed the world with filial piety since ancient times, and "unfilial piety" is the biggest stain.

It can be said that if a person has a reputation of being "unfilial", then his path to becoming an official in the Zhou Dynasty will basically be cut off. Even if he can get the first place in the imperial examination, it will be useless - even in many places, a student with a reputation of being unfilial

, not even qualified for the imperial examination.

In the Zhou Dynasty, there was also an incident where a prince killed his father and usurped the throne. Even after the usurpation, the emperor strictly ordered historians not to record the incident, but it still spread.

Now it's Su Yuan's turn. Although Zhou Yanran is not his biological mother, and Su Yue from Su City is not his biological brother, it is still a great unfilial act for him to kill these three people.

Generally speaking, people who do this kind of behavior will hide the matter in their hearts, and some will never mention it again in their lives.

As a result, Su Yuan not only mentioned it, but also mentioned it at the dinner table.

This really left the five clan leaders confused and unable to make up their minds.

"This, this..."

The five people hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Su Yuan did not force it, and continued: "It seems that you know it. Well, these are all smart people, and they should understand that what I do is almost equivalent to treason."

Sweat dripped from the foreheads of the five people.

Why is this Su Yuan getting more and more...

"Then here's the problem." Su Yuan looked calm, with a hint of chill in his deep, watery eyes.

"This king wants to rebel, do you five support him?"

silence.

If it was deathly silence just now, then now it is the silence of "thousands of mountains and birds have disappeared, and thousands of people have disappeared".

Normally, a few people would just pretend not to hear such "heart-breaking" remarks.

But now there were only six of them at the dinner table. Su Yuan asked this, obviously wanting a result. He wanted to pretend to be stupid and get through.

Tick ​​tock…

Beads of sweat dripped down the faces of the five people and fell on the table.

The five people quickly raised their hands to wipe. When Zhang Yuandong wiped his forehead, he glanced at the soldiers on both sides of the room from the corner of his eye.

He was filled with fear: If we don't support or answer, will we not even be able to get out of this house?

The other four people had the same idea.

At this time, the fat-bellied head of the Shen family, Shen De, spoke first.

"The villain naturally supports the prince..."

Regardless of whether he supports it in his heart or not, Shen Decai knows that he must support it with his mouth.

Otherwise... he doesn't want his last meal in his life to be such an unpalatable meal from Zhenbei Palace!

With Shen Decai taking the lead, several others quickly expressed their support.

But Zhang Yuandong, Li Cheng, and Feng Ronghe were already yelling curses in their hearts.

The Shen family and the Sun family are both local families in Beifeng City.

And all three of their hometowns are in the Central Plains!

In any dynasty, rebellion will result in the execution of the Nine Clans! If they support Su Yuan, once the news reaches the capital... the Zhongyuan family will probably be implicated and executed by the emperor.

But at this moment, if I say I don’t support it...

The three of them shivered. There was no doubt that none of them wanted to die right now.

Of course Su Yuan understood what they were thinking.

He asked this question not just to get an answer against his will.

Not to scare five people.

His purpose was to make his "explicit statement" based on the answers of the five people.

Su Yuan smiled and said: "Since you all support me, my previous clear statement will be clear at a glance."

"You all understand that in order to rebel, manpower and material resources are indispensable. I have enough manpower and material resources, so I need more help from you."

"Therefore, I would like to borrow some of your family wealth for use first. When I conquer great rivers and mountains in the future and ascend the throne as emperor, you and I will be able to follow the dragon's footsteps and be crowned kings and marquises by then."
