Chapter 1205: On the Mid-Autumn Festival night in August, Shen Tang was sitting in the chair
Reminiscing about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Flowers in the cup.
The moon is in the cup!
The Mid-Autumn Festival in Zhongdu is extremely prosperous. Before it gets dark, the streets and alleys of Zhongdu are filled with all kinds of vendors and wandering people!
Mid-Autumn Festival, like Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival, is one of the most important festivals for the Central Plains people! In ancient times, emperors worshiped the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. According to tradition, the fifteenth day of August was the day when emperors worshiped the moon. It is the third half of autumn, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The whole spring moon is also decorated with colorful lanterns in the middle, and it is full of joy from inside to outside! From the return of Dali to now, in the past three months, the girls have been the happiest day, even if Shen Tang's heart was also filled with a bit of joy.
In the evening, Agui personally came to send a message, asking Shen Tang to enter the palace to attend the banquet prepared by Wanyan Yong. Wanyan Yue would also go to the palace with the girls, but to watch the fireworks at night!
Shen Tang and his party finished preparations, and then Agui led the group into the palace.
The evening fireworks were held outside the gate of Da'an Hall, and a group of internal servants were already busy preparing. The dinner was held in Guangyou Building on the right side of Da'an Hall! Therefore, after entering Yingtian Gate, Shen Tang To be separated from the other girls! With Wanyan Yue with the other girls, Shen Tang naturally does not worry about their safety or food. With Wan Yanyong's love for Wan Yan Yue, in this palace, even if it is a genuine When the prince sees Wanyan Yue, he has to back away, so there is no way he will suffer any loss.
Under Agui's guidance, Shen Tang came all the way to Guangyou Tower! Only to see Sanzhuo, the servant in front of the door, looking at him with a smile.
"I heard that His Majesty invited Mr. Shen, so I waited here early. Let's go, let's go... His Majesty probably hasn't arrived yet, so let's go up first!"
Pusanzhuo greeted Shen Tang affectionately.
Shen Tang returned the greeting, and then the two of them entered the attic one after another, going up all the way until they reached the third floor.
"You two adults, please go in and wait for a moment. Your Majesty should be offering sacrifices at the moment and will be here later!"
Agui said respectfully.
The two entered the hall on the third floor. This hall was not small. There were at least dozens of rich and wealthy people sitting there! The layout was like that in a court hall. The first person sitting on the table was the emperor Wan Yanyong's small table. There was a standard on the left side of the hall. The slightly smaller one should be the seat of Prince Wanyan Yundi! Further down, it is divided into two rows on the left and right, arranged according to grade and shift!
When Shen Tang entered, there were already three or five people inside!
Seeing the arrival of Shen Tang and Pu Sanzhuo, these people hurriedly stood up and saluted! Shen Tang was not familiar with these people, so he just said a few polite words and then stopped talking! Anyone who can be invited to the dinner by Wan Yanyong can They are all important officials in the Jin Dynasty. It is not necessarily a good thing to communicate too much with these people.
However, these people are quite familiar with Shen Tang! After all, Shen Tang's reputation in the Jin Kingdom is really not small. What's more, this time when Shen Tang came north, Wan Yanyong almost went to war. Everyone knew how much he valued Shen Tang. !
"Master Shen, today you and I are sitting next to each other. It's hard for you to come to Zhongdu. Yesterday was naturally inconvenient. Today, you have to have a few drinks!"
Pusanzhuo pulled Shen Tang to sit down on the small table next to him.
However, Shen Tang waved his hand, "Lord Pusanzhuo, this is against the rules! Being able to come here is a favor from Your Majesty, so naturally I don't dare to exceed it."
Now Pusanzhuo is already the Minister of Rites, but his position is only behind the two Ministers of Ling, Libu and Hubu, ranking fourth on the right! As for Shen Tang, although there is a Fengguo Shang The title of General is only that of a third-rank Wusanguan, and he has no title. It is really against the rules to sit next to Pusanzhuo.
"Master Shen, your Majesty has already said that this is just a private banquet, and there is no need to pay attention to too many etiquettes! Furthermore, Master Shen's position in His Majesty's heart is more important than that of me, the Minister of Rites..."
While they were talking, the rest of the people gradually entered the hall! Among them were Tang Gutai, whom Shen Tang had met, and Jia Gumo, his "old acquaintance", etc. However, for most people, Shen Tang was still more strangeness.
However, by the same token, these people were no strangers to Shen Tang, and each one of them took the initiative to say hello.
When everyone was seated, Pusanzhuo couldn't resist Shen Tang, so he still let him take the last position.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived!"
With a sharp chorus, Wanyan Yong and Wanyan Yundi walked in one after the other!
Everyone present naturally stood up and saluted.
"My dear friends, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is no need to be polite! Everyone, please sit down!"
Wanyanyong said with a smile, and then Wanyanyong and his son also sat down.
"Shen Tang!"
Suddenly, Wan Yanyong gave a soft drink, and Shen Tang quickly stood up, only to hear Wan Yan Yong say, "Why, you are so far away from me, do you not want to see me, or are you not interested in this banquet!"
Wan Yanyong glared, "Agui, go and move Shen Tang's position to my right! Normally, Yongqing would accompany me on days like this. Today, Yongqing is not here, so I will let this filial son accompany me!" "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue had different expressions! The position Wanyan Yong mentioned was the position opposite Wanyan Yundi, who was under his control! Under the king, but above the ministers! Wanyan Yundi was the prince. Not to mention, Wanyan Yue had indeed sat in this position before, but Wan Yanyong loved Wan Yan Yue more than the prince, so it was not surprising, and Shen Tang was just a foreign minister, not even a minister. Now Wanyanyong has actually designated this position. In addition to attaching great importance to Shen Tang, it is also somewhat intriguing...
If this was done in the court of the Song Dynasty, many people would immediately jump out and reprimand him for being unethical. Even if Zhao Shen was the emperor, he would definitely have to give in. However, now in the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan When Yong opened his mouth, even Tang Gutai and Pusanzhuo, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, did not speak...
"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, this is a transcendent gift, Shen Tang does not dare!"
Shen Tang hurriedly refused, but Wan Yanyong gave him a chance and waved his hand directly. Agui came up with several servants and moved Shen Tang's waiter to the front position!
"Sit down, kid! I want to talk to you later!"
Wan Yanyong stared, Shen Tang smiled bitterly, and could only take a few steps forward and sit down!
Then, Agui asked the waiter outside the door to start passing the dishes, and exquisite dishes gradually appeared on everyone's table! These dishes are not too exquisite, and are mainly meat, but the smell is extremely tempting. People! Everyone’s eyes fell on Wanyanyong, waiting for Wanyanyong to speak.
