Zhang Jinliang sneaked up to Emperor Danxu and whispered in a low voice that it was time for the palace banquet.
Emperor Danxu glanced at his confidants coolly, said, "We will discuss this after the palace banquet," and took the lead to leave the imperial study.
Several people hurriedly followed Emperor Danxu's footsteps. Ping Nanbo's steps were extremely heavy, and he felt extremely regretful. Did the emperor really let him raid Prince Yun's Mansion? I didn't know that he got drunk and accidentally fell.
With a broken leg, can you avoid this fatal task?
As soon as Emperor Danxu entered the Qianqiu Palace, he immediately noticed something unusual - more than half of the seats in the huge banquet hall were empty!
After sitting down, Emperor Danxu asked Long Wei to check what happened to the absent court officials.
Halfway through the palace banquet, Zhang Jinliang inquired about the situation discovered by Long Wei and whispered to Emperor Danxu: "To inform the emperor, all the ministers who did not come to the palace banquet went south with their families. Even Prince Duanze took the princess with him.
, the crown prince and Princess Ningping went to the south of the Yangtze River.
Only then did Emperor Danxu realize the seriousness of the situation. These courtiers had all defected to Si Haochen, which meant that Si Haochen had long been thinking of rebelling!
Emperor Danxu glanced at the people in the palace with gloomy eyes. Duke Jingguo and his family were not there, and neither were the six ministers except the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites.
Seeing that the 'money bag' household department was still there, Emperor Danxu felt relieved a little. (Ah Ling: You let go too soon. Your national treasury and private treasury were moved into the space by me as a birthday gift.
I gave it to the master. I also went to the Royal Medicine Storehouse. Unfortunately, everything in it, from medicinal materials to medicines, is so poor that I really don’t like it...)
The Shangyuan Festival palace banquet, which was supposed to be lively, looked particularly depressed because half of the seats were empty. Everyone who came to the banquet was panic-stricken, always feeling that something big was about to happen.
In order to make the atmosphere more lively, Empress Chen ordered the palace servants to walk around the banquet carrying palace lanterns with lantern riddles hung on them. Anyone who guessed the lantern riddles would get a reward. Even if their thoughts were not here, they had to give the queen face. Everyone
They all started guessing the lantern riddles seriously.
The Qianqiu Palace had just begun to have some festive atmosphere when a secret guard wearing black armor broke into the palace. Everyone was startled and in panic, cups and dishes were spilled, and chaos suddenly broke out in the palace.
The Dragon Guard immediately protected Emperor Danxu in the middle. Emperor Danxu felt that his safety was guaranteed and he felt confident: "Who is coming?"
"We are the Xuanjia Guards who are delivering the Letter of Credence to Emperor Yun." The leader took out a volume of the 'Certificate of Credence' and raised his hand, and the 'Certificate of Credence' fell steadily on Zhang Jinliang's arm with his fly whisk.
"Ouch~" Zhang Jinliang was startled and almost sat on his butt on the ground.
Emperor Danxu couldn't help but frown. He had never heard of the name 'Yun Huang'. Moreover, 'emperor' preceded 'emperor', which was obviously intended to overwhelm the four kingdoms.
"Bring it here, let me see what kind of small country it was built in a remote place!" Emperor Danxu looked at Zhang Jinliang.
Zhang Jinliang carefully inspected it and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the 'Certificate of Credence' before submitting it to Emperor Danxu.
Emperor Danxu received the 'Certificate of Credence' and did not rush to read the content. Instead, he focused his attention on the national seal in the lower left corner. Emperor Danxu's pupils tightened. This was actually the national seal of the Yunmeng Empire.
Looking at the content again, Emperor Danxu was immediately furious - this was not so much a 'state letter' as a 'recruitment letter'. If you are willing to be recruited, you can get a title, but this title needs to be downgraded and hereditary.
In other words, even if he is a 'king' now, he will not even be a count after a few generations of hereditary succession.
What made Emperor Dan Xu most angry was that no one else could write this arrogant and domineering handwriting except Si Haochen.
"This is unreasonable!" With a clang, Emperor Danxu threw the 'Certificate of Credence' on the high table in front of him, knocking over several cups and plates, "How dare he..."
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Zhang Jinliang saw that Emperor Danxu's face turned green with anger, and his knees went weak and he knelt down.
All the court officials and family members below also knelt down one after another. Only the few Xuanjia guards stood in the palace. When they saw that Emperor Danxu had defiled the credential written by the Lord, a cold light flashed in their eyes.
Emperor Dan Xu stood up suddenly and strode down Danqi. Zhang Jinliang quickly followed.
"Bring that certificate of credence!" Emperor Danxu said through gritted teeth.
"Yes." Zhang Jinliang turned back, picked up the 'Certificate of Credence' and wiped off the stained wine with his sleeve.
Emperor Danxu rolled his sleeves and left, and all the courtiers looked at each other - what was written in the 'State Letter', and why was the emperor so angry?
Emperor Danxu didn't even sit in the chariot, and rushed to Kuntai Hall full of anger. He saw that there were also Xuanjia guards here, the Supreme Emperor had just received the "imperial edict", and Eunuch Hai was holding the golden seal bestowed by the emperor in his hand.
Emperor Danxu's eyes were about to fall to the ground. He took a few steps to reach the Supreme Emperor and snatched the imperial edict from the Supreme Emperor's hand: "Father, why do you want to lower yourself? It's not right for the Supreme Emperor to be such a noble prince!"
Even if you die in battle, I will not agree to recruit you!"
Even if Si Haochen captured Beichi, he was still far from being able to control the four kingdoms. Nanrong and Xikang would definitely not want to be 'recruited'. Nanrong had strong financial resources, and Xikang was good at poisonous poison. Emperor Danxu planned to unite the three kingdoms.
I am not afraid that I will not be able to destroy Si Haochen's newly created Xiaopoguo.
"If you want to go to war with the Yunmeng Empire, my father will not stop you." The Supreme Emperor straightened his sleeves and said, "If my father is willing to be a free prince, then you don't want to get involved."
"You used to raise tigers for trouble, but now you are working for tigers. You are really stupid!" Emperor Danxu could not understand what the Supreme Emperor did at all. He only felt that his father was probably being screwed up.
"I would like to remind you, old fool, that using those soft-footed shrimps in your hands to fight against the Three Kingdoms is the same as hitting an egg against a stone."
Emperor Danxu rubbed his ears, thinking he heard wrongly: "What is the fight against the Three Kingdoms?"
"If nothing happens, Nanrong and Xikang will surrender to the Yunmeng Empire, plus Beichi has been captured by Chen'er for a long time..." The Supreme Emperor sat down in the armchair and swayed his legs leisurely.
Emperor Danxu looked at the Supreme Emperor in surprise: "I don't believe it!"
"Believe it or not." The Supreme Emperor knocked on the table lightly, "Xiao Haizi, pack some clothes for me. I am going to the hot spring village to retire."
"Too..." Eunuch Hai said with some embarrassment, "Master Marquis, Your Majesty wants you to go to the south of the Yangtze River. It's not easy for us to resist."
"That bastard boy is very precious, Zhuangzi is very precious, I will go and cause trouble first... Why don't you go and stay for a few days before going to Jiangnan." The Supreme Emperor looked at the dumbfounded silly boy, "Don't mess around if you don't have the ability.
The kings of Nanrong and Xikang were either granted lordships or defeated generals, and when it was your turn, you became a prisoner... It's your fault for embarrassing me..."
"I will repair the book immediately and send it to Nanrong and Xikang!" Danxu refused to believe that Nanrong and Xikang would be recruited by Si Haochen. Even if Nanrong was accustomed to enjoying himself and had no backbone, Xikang would not give in.
"Okay, you can't help your son grow up." The Supreme Emperor raised his leg and kicked Eunuch Hai on the buttocks. "I asked you to pack your luggage. What are you doing here?"
