Feng Danyuan did not continue this topic: "The birthday banquet is about to begin. You go and prepare it. Leave it to me."
The prince shook his head: "If you don't go, protecting the palace means protecting the father. This is also fulfilling the filial piety of the son of man. It is much more meaningful than kowtowing at a banquet and chanting poems."
Feng Danyuan smiled: "It's good to be responsible."
The prince smiled bitterly: "As you said, I'm almost seventeen. I can't always let my father, queen and mother protect me. It's time for me to protect them."
Feng Danyuan patted his shoulder and said, "Then check the next point."
Two hours later, tubes of gunpowder were piled up into a hill. All palaces, large and small, were searched as if they were digging three feet into the ground.
"Brother Yuan, do you think there are more?" the prince asked.
Feng Danyuan was also thinking about this problem. Now that Feng Danyi had revealed the truth to Wei Zi, he probably had a complete plan in mind, so he wouldn't let himself find all the gunpowder easily, right?
Nowadays, it is impossible to blow up the entire palace, but what if we target the most distinguished people in the palace?
"Let's go to the birthday banquet. Please tell me the process of today's birthday banquet first." Feng Danyuan strode towards the Zichen Palace.
"Yes." The prince followed immediately and recited the process of the birthday banquet to him: "First there was a message from the Ministry of Rites, then the father spoke, and then the monarch and his ministers had fun together, eating and dancing, and the dancers were all the maids in the opera garden.
There is no one from outside.”
Feng Danyuan frowned slightly, but there was nothing wrong with the process alone.
Ministers who come to the birthday banquet will be strictly inspected and closely monitored before entering the palace, so the possibility of success is unlikely.
The palace maids in the opera house won't have any big problems, after all, they have just been cleaned.
"Oh, by the way, today the Queen Mother also invited ladies and gentlemen from the imperial city to enjoy plum blossoms in the back garden. There are two ladies who are good at piano art and will go to the Zichen Palace to perform for their father. Which two are they?
Can not remember......"
The prince's voice stopped suddenly, and Feng Danyuan's eyes frightened him.
"Where's the list of noble ladies?"
"The Queen Mother has it in her hands...and the Ministry of Rites also has it."
Feng Danyuan pursed his lips into a straight line: The queen must have screened the noble girl. There will be no problem with the noble girl's identity, but there may be problems with the person. After all, it is too easy to pretend to be a boudoir girl who has never left the house.
.
"Get rid of the performance in front of the emperor and let all the noble ladies go back!" Feng Danyuan never expected that this birthday banquet would have home and away games!
He was careless.
"Ah? I'm afraid it's too late. The noble ladies should be here, and the noble ladies are very early in the performance schedule..." The prince also vaguely guessed that there was something wrong, and his heart trembled.
Feng Danyuan quickened his pace and said in a cold voice: "Then let's go see how this scene is played." If necessary, it is not impossible to throw people out.

When the two arrived at Zichen Hall, the birthday banquet had already begun.
The prince hesitated for a moment, then asked the question: "Since the people attending the birthday banquet may have problems, why not cancel the birthday banquet? My father does not like to listen to people singing praises of virtue."
"I don't like singing praises and having birthday banquets. They are two different things. As an emperor, you must have some honors. Otherwise, how can you intimidate the world and make the people admire you? This is the first. The second is that crises are also opportunities. Just take advantage of this opportunity to have something.
The disloyal ministers were eradicated." Feng Danyuan explained casually.
"This is too dangerous!" The prince did not agree.
"Since I became the emperor, there has never been a day without danger. Even if you are in the Eastern Palace, this is the case. It's just that your father, the emperor, and your empress have protected you so well that you feel that the world is not dangerous." Feng Danyuan said lightly.
