The banquet was held in the evening. Officials from Wan Huojing's faction all dressed up to attend the banquet. The banquet was held in a large mansion purchased by the prince at a high price. Wan Huojing sent people to inspect the visiting officials very strictly.
Invitation, for such a dinner, not to mention the other two princes, it is very likely that people will be sent to inquire about the news. Even the Jinyiwei and other departments of Liumen East Factory are also likely to send people.
If the officials who come are not strictly screened and are sneaked in by other forces, especially the Dongchang Liumen Jinyiwei, etc., things will be difficult to deal with. What is the truth? Zeng Yi and the others' worries are not unreasonable. At that time, it was really
Several officials who were not invited were found. Those officials brought gifts and wanted to sneak in, but they were stopped. Although those officials kept claiming to have been invited, Wan Huojing made arrangements.
The people in the pro-military captain's mansion only recognized the invitation but not the person, so they could only leave with a dark face.
Fortunately, the officials said that the eunuchs in Dongchang and the six-door policemen were in some trouble. They had to force their way in, and the pro-military captain's house couldn't really fight them. However, later Wan Huojing and the Minister of Libu personally
After they came out, those people didn't dare to be presumptuous. The attitudes of the two court officials were very tough. This was a private party and uninvited people were not welcome. Fortunately, the eunuchs and other super masters did not come, otherwise the banquet would have been really
It became an ordinary banquet.
But at the beginning, Zeng Yi estimated that those top-notch experts would not come. After all, they had a special status in the imperial court. It would be bad if people misunderstood him and thought that they also started to support the prince.
The banquet went smoothly at the beginning, and the pro-military governor's office was not in a hurry. Many things were discussed at the banquet and many plans were made. Among them, expanding the influence of the prince was the first thing to be discussed. After the officials worked together, the banquet went smoothly.
After that, he really helped the prince come up with many plans. To sum up, it was to control public opinion and brag about that guy.
The banquet was held for several hours, and many plans were discussed. Everyone was very happy, especially the prince, who had now begun to dream about ascending the throne and becoming the emperor.
The happy prince waved his hand and said: "Here comes the wine!" Some servants and bosses carried some fine wine and poured wine for the officials one by one. "My lords, those who can come to cover are all our own people. I
Thank you all again for coming. I won’t say any more. I will keep everyone’s help in my heart. If I can succeed, I will never forget you! Come on, let me toast you all.”
The titular lord toasted, and everyone, regardless of whether they knew how to drink or not, picked up their glasses and drank. After drinking this glass of wine, everyone felt that the alcohol was very strong. After a while, everyone from the prince to ordinary officials, and even
Even Wan Huo Jing fell on the wine table.
Everyone who attended the banquet fell on the wine table. Under normal circumstances, the servants who were serving them would have panicked. After all, this situation is very abnormal. No matter how drunk they are, it is impossible for everyone to be together.
Fall down.
However, the servants serving on the scene did not reveal the slightest surprise, and even looked at each other with happy smiles. At this moment, the door of the banquet hall suddenly opened, and Zeng Yi walked in with a smile on his face.
Several people dressed as servants immediately came forward and said, "Master!" It turned out that these people were all from the pro-army captain's mansion. As early as when the prince entered the capital and confirmed that he would assist him on the surface, the pro-military captain's mansion began.
People were placed around him, especially after the Minister of Civil Affairs and others later came to join him. In addition to the few cronies he brought with him, all the people around the prince, ranging from the housekeeper to the cook of a mansion, were replaced.
Becoming a member of the pro-army captain's mansion, this is why all those officials fell down, because the last glass of wine that the prince gave to everyone had been spiked by the pro-military captain's mansion.
"Did they all fall down?"
"Yes, sir, we have checked over and they are all down!"
Zeng Yi nodded: "Let the brothers outside keep watch. All eyes in the capital will be watching here tonight. Don't let anyone discover anything unusual!"
"Don't worry, sir, we have already made arrangements!"
"That's good, wake up Mr. Wan!"
After hearing this, several guys dressed as servants immediately stepped forward and took out a porcelain bottle, shaking it under Wan Huojing's nose. After a while, Wan Huojing woke up and saw Zeng Yi looking at it again and lying on the wine table.
Wan Huojing smiled at the officials who came up: "So many people are watching here tonight, you really came here!"
"Haha, the most dangerous place is the safest place. It is precisely because all the attention is focused here that I have the opportunity to escape Dongchang's attention and come here!" Zeng Yi said calmly.
"Are you ready to let them know your identity?"
"Of course!" Zeng Yi didn't want them to know Tar's identity. After all, he still needed to lurk in the capital. If officials like them knew his identity as Tar, he would be afraid that when they meet in the future, these unprofessional guys would leak the truth. So.
Just now, Zeng Yiyong is in his true colors.
After saying a few words to Wan Huojing, Zeng Yi waved his hand and said, "Wake up all our own people!" The servants around him immediately began to wake up the officials who had surrendered to them.
When the officials were woken up, they all looked confused. Many of them didn't know that each other was already one of their own. A dozen of them all woke up after a while. Zeng Yi looked at the confused people and smiled.
He smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, the people who are awake now are all our own people. The reason for having this banquet this time is to let everyone know each other, so as to avoid suspicion of each other in the future."
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, everyone looked at Zeng Yi, but when they saw Zeng Yi, they all showed surprised expressions. Zeng Yi was a member of the Imperial Guard, and most of these officials knew about him.
"Haha, it seems everyone knows me, so I don't need to introduce myself."
"You, are you the Jinyiwei Qianshi, Master Ni?"
"Exactly, I am, but now I am no longer a royal guard. Like all of you, I now work for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
It was only now that everyone calmed down a little and started to look at each other. Seeing that there were so many people at the scene, all of them had taken refuge with the princess, and they all smiled.
Especially when he saw Wan Huojing, the Minister of Civil Affairs said with a smile: "It's so hard for Master Wan to hide it from us. We didn't expect that Master Xiang is also one of our own!"
"Haha, I am a member of His Royal Highness Prince Xing from beginning to end."
