Shi Yue knew this personal guard and bowed affectionately, "Brother Liu, are you looking for me? Are you asking me for a drink? Come! Let's go to drink together, I treat you, and you won't go home until you get drunk.i^"
The guard wiped his sweat from his forehead and said anxiously: "It's not that I asked Shi Qianhu for wine, but that the eldest princess was crazy and insisted on asking you for wine."
"What?"
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment before saying, "Brother Liu is Lord Kang's personal guard. What does it have to do with the eldest princess?"
The guard sighed and said helplessly: "King Fu held a banquet to entertain the court officials at noon. The commander-in-chief naturally had to go to the appointment. The eldest princess didn't know what happened. She insisted on asking the commander-in-chief to ask the commander-in-chief and asked you to protect the eldest princess. The commander-in-chief would not let go, so she had to perfunctorily ask the eldest princess to come out and find you."
When Shi Yue heard that it was the eldest prince who came over by himself, he felt a headache and shook his head and said, "No! No! Brother Liu said that he didn't find anyone, so let's just give the little widow a perfunctory way."
The personal guard surnamed Liu was shocked: Shi Qianhu is so bold. He dares to call the eldest princess a little widow? He is not afraid of it being heard in the princess' ears. The eldest princess cut off your head in anger?
"Shi Qianhu, I thought so at the beginning, so I just let it go."
The guard surnamed Liu said with a bitter face: "But when I went back to report my life, the eldest princess heard that he had not found anyone, so she drew his sword to chop my head, which made me run away with my head in my arms. Shi Qianhu, you can't escape. The eldest princess is not easy to mess with. Brother Shi, you must pity me."
Shi Yue could not escape, so he had to instruct Fu Qiang to stay here and accompany Mr. Geng to have dinner. He took Sun Meng, Lei Dahu and other confidants to follow the Liu guards to the Fuwang Mansion for a banquet!
King Fu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with developed handicrafts and numerous businessmen. Under the management of Yan Tong, the financial situation has emerged.
Good finance, civil affairs will naturally develop!
The civil affairs are in order, and the national treasury is naturally abundant.%&*”;
Therefore, in order to win people's hearts, King Fu made a big deal.
More than 300 high-ranking officials and officials of the fourth rank or above in the capital, regardless of whether they have real power or not, received a heavy gift from King Fu.
It is impolite to come but not come!
King Fu held a banquet to entertain the ministers today, and the ministers naturally flocked to him. No matter whether they really had a friendship with King Fu or had to deal with the matter, they would come to return the gift.
Therefore, in the past, only the houses left by the housekeeper were left behind. At this time, there were crowds of horses and sedan chairs. There were hundreds of people with the carriage drivers, squeezing under the walls. At first glance, there was a faint image of revival.
There are many officials who come to give gifts. After any official who is a third-rank gives gifts, he will say a few compliments to the reception officials, hand them a famous post, and be familiar with each other. He is also self-aware and has no right to attend the banquet, so he turns around and leaves on his own. Of course, there are also some officials of low-level but heavyweight who are not in this case.
In this way, there were only seventy or eighty officials who actually attended the banquet!
There are officials from the Secretariat, represented by Prime Minister Xiao Yan, the six ministers, the left and right ministers, and the Kyoto prefecture series!
There were officials headed by Bai Mochou, the left and right censor, the left and right supervisor, the supervisor Tongzhi, and the Dali Temple Minister.
There were various military generals led by Kang Shanzhen, commander of the Black Guard, deputy commander of the Black Guard, commander of the Black Guard, commander of the Five Cities Military Command, commander of the Nine Gate, counselor of the Nine Gate, and counselor of the Nine Gate!
These three departments, with a total of more than 80 officials, form the complex supreme power structure of the court today.
The three departments are intertwined, and you are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are
But among the officials of the three categories, there are also differences in strength. The Bai Mochou family is the most stable and solid, not fighting or robbing, and is extremely low-key.
Kangshan Town is the strongest, but it has suffered repeated setbacks and has shown a declining situation.
Xiao Yan's group has been rising slowly, and has expanded from a simple civil servant system to a military general system, with a tendency to surpass Kang Shanzhen.
The person responsible for receiving more than 300 senior officials was indeed King Fu's right-hand man, Prime Minister He Dan, and Grand Secretary Kong Qingfeng of the Cabinet!
He Dan felt very cowardly!
He was humiliated by the assassin last night. Seven teeth on his left fell, only two or three were left hanging there, and he was so rude that he didn't dare to struggle.
The left cheek was swollen like a pig's head, red and purple, and it was very embarrassed.
Although King Fu learned the news, visited him in person, and had already found the best doctor to treat him, and had taken medicine, he was fine, but he still felt a scorching pain, which continued to his heart.
In principle, he should be well recuperated today and should not show up and seek self-inflicted suffering. However, he cannot do that and cannot bear to leave it alone.
Today is the day when King Fukuo hosts high-ranking officials in Kyoto, and ministers and generals from all walks of life have arrived.
King Fu previously decided that only two people received all the senior officials, one was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Kong Qingfeng, and the other was himself.
He Dan understood the arrangements and intentions of King Fu.
Kong Qingfeng was originally a famous official in Kyoto, and was once the Minister of Revenue. He was in charge of power and was very familiar with the details of all the officials in the court.
Kong Qingfeng received them, and had innate advantages and was easy to communicate with each other.
The reason why King Fu asked him to receive him was because of his trust in himself, and because of his outstanding talent, he also happened to show the style of famous scholars in Jiangnan to officials like Dayan!
He Dan had no objection to this.
But the bad thing is that I was inexplicably seriously injured, my face was swollen like a pig's head, and my toothache was trembling. If I say a few more words, it would be so painful!
King Fu felt sorry for He Dan, and prepared to work hard to Kong Qingfeng, and only let him welcome all the ministers. He Dan was not willing to obey him, and forced himself to do the job in order to repay the prince's kindness.
In fact, He Dan is not so loyal?
He was clearly afraid that he would be hidden in such an important banquet, so that Kong Qingfeng would be in the limelight, which led to the illusion that officials regarded Kong Qingfeng as the number one official in Jiangnan.
It is precisely because of this worry that He Dan had to "take the order in the face of danger".
Kong Qingfeng and He Dan welcomed the officials in the side hall.
Kong Qingfeng was not familiar with any officials of the Dayan Dynasty? Whether it was the former party alliance or political enemies, his position changed due to changes in his identity.
He ignored past grudges and treated everyone equally, chatted with the officials indiscriminately, talking nonsense.
He Dan was unwilling to be neglected. Although his mouth was full of wounds, he was still rushing to meet customers, which only shocked the officials: Who is this guy with three pig heads? Where did the monster come from? Why don’t you beat him out quickly?
After a closer look, I recognized He Dan, a famous scholar in Jiangnan.
The officials held back their laughter and greeted He Dan, who looked like a pig's head, but He Dan's mouth was broken and his mouth was unclear, and he spoke in a hurry.
The officials didn't understand what he was saying at all, so they just exchanged a few greetings with him, then made excuses to leave, and talked specifically to Kong Qingfeng and made friends.
This made He Dan feel angry, but he couldn't vent his anger.
He looked at Kong Yiqin who was chatting and laughing angrily, shook his sleeves, and left the side hall. He became even more resentful to Shi Yue: This damn guy, if he hadn't secretly done bad things, how could I have suffered such a great humiliation? Shi Yue, Shi Yue, you really deserve to die!
