Chapter 178: Celebration Banquet
Ten days after Mo Yao came back, after twenty days, the three princes finally took down Tiangou City and respected the victory of this counterattack.
The northern part of Wuwei County, although still in the hands of the Northern Plains Empire, is only struggling in vain, and sooner or later it will be expelled.
The triumphant return of the three princes became the biggest event among the twelve cities.
Three days before the arrival of the three princes, the entire twelve cities began to get busy to welcome the arrival of the three princes.
The crowd was crowded on both sides of the road, calling loudly, the prestige of the three princes.
Before entering the city, Dongfang Yueyi also sent a message to Mo Yao in advance, inviting him to participate in this triumph, without him, this time would not have gone so smoothly. Later, although Mo Yao didn't make a move, he also limited it, and the shots of the Beiyuan super-level martial artists returned to the scale, and the Beiyuan Empire was naturally no longer their opponent.
But Mo Yao did not accept it, he was destined to become a cultivator, and he pursued non-worldly prosperity.
Although he did not participate in the parade of the victorious procession, the third prince did not want him to participate in the celebration banquet in the evening. If Mo Yao refused, he would also feel bored, so it was better not to participate.
This made Mo Yao helpless, so he could only agree to his request.
If he messes up this celebration because of him, he will become the target of hatred from countless people.
The celebration banquet is just a banquet on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and it is not as simple as a dinner.
Since three days ago, countless families and countless people have been busy until now, not only to welcome the three princes, but also to choose the right side in the end.
Although there are still a few years before the general election of the three princes, there are only those advantageous positions, and the number is fixed, first come, first served, and there is no place for people who come late.
Only the original people around the prince have the opportunity to take on important responsibilities in the new dynasty.
Before the banquet began, the third prince also came to him and complained: "If you don't show up as the protagonist, no matter how prosperous others are prepared, it will be dim!"
Mo Yao was speechless, so he could only follow him to the banquet. Qin Wuwu was also invited, but it was not Mo Yao who invited her, but with the little county lord, and the two of them had already discussed it in advance, and at that time, Mo Yao was not ready to participate in the banquet.
The place where the celebration banquet was held was in the city lord's mansion, and a rest room was specially reserved for the three princes.
At this moment, Mo Yao and the third prince came to the lounge, and there were also some clothes specially prepared for the banquet, as well as makeup items.
Martial arts is not a delicate profession, and Mo Yao is not a diligent person in grooming.
His requirements are simple, clean and tidy, no smell of blood is fine.
Because of the killing, if he doesn't pay attention to cleaning, he will be left on his body, and he will be bloody.
Mo Yao is a person who likes to take a bath, but he is not a person who is willing to spend time dressing up.
Among the countless evening dresses, I finally chose one, a corset black outfit, although it was a little gorgeous and had a lot of decorative lace, but it did not affect the action.
The previous Mo Yao, before he became the current Mo Yao, preferred white clothes and a handsome son.
But after he became a martial artist, he preferred some gray and black clothes, because they were more resistant to dirt, and a martial artist was really not a profession that was related to cleanliness, even if he often took a bath and changed his clothes frequently, the martial artist of this world would normally be changed once a week, ten days and half a month, Mo Yao could change and wash every day as long as conditions permitted, but most of the time, he still dealt with blood and soil, making himself disgraced and dirty.
Only gray and black clothes will not be very obvious, anyway, he will wear white clothes, and he will end up like this.
If you reach the Cultivation Realm, you won't have these troubles. The control of the microcosm, they can let those stains and dirt leave directly from their bodies, and maintain their glamorous side forever, even the clothes on their bodies do not need to be changed. Even if you wear it for a few years, it won't change much.
Compared with the sloppiness of the martial artists, the cultivators are immortal and extraordinary.
No matter what age they are, the feeling given to them by cultivators will always be different from ordinary people.
A person lives in the mundane, but his body is spotless, and nine times out of ten he is a hidden cultivator.
If you don't change the clothes on your body for many days in a row, and you still keep the same appearance, you will be a cultivator out of ten.
Still staying at the level of a martial artist, Mo Yao is also very envious of the ability of a cultivator.
As the banquet began, Mo Yao did not go out with the three princes.
He didn't want to cause a commotion, it was just a dinner for him, if anything, nothing more luxurious.
Mo Yao sat in the corner of the banquet, except for a few familiar people who came over to greet him, he always sat there quietly like a shadow, eating the food around him unceremoniously.
This time, he was probably the only one who came to the banquet, and he was interested in food.
They are busy exchanging ideas, exchanging opinions with each other, and their views on the three princes, who is more suitable to manage the country, can go to the end and have the last laugh.
This time the war is undoubtedly the three princes shining brightly.
But to run a country, you don't just need to be able to fight.
No matter how powerful a war is, it is only the ability of a general, and there is still a long way to go from becoming the head of a country.
In the end, it was the comprehensive ability of the three princes to be tested.
In terms of heritage and family power, the third prince is still the weakest one.
There are very few families that are on his side and really support him.
Because the original main family has long been divided between the eldest prince and the second prince.
It was still too late for the third prince to come out, and in the previous twenty years, there had been no sound, and people had already given up his choice and abandoned him like an outcast.
Although there were many warriors gathered around him this time, after the end of the war, how many people would continue to stay by his side if he lost the high bounty?
Jianghu warriors are wild and untamed existences, most of them will not really accept the rewards of the imperial court, and they are not willing to be restrained, come from freedom, and return to freedom.
When the tide recedes, the third prince will become the one who swims naked.
More than half of the magnates follow the great prince, and these people will not waver and cannot be shaken.
This is the strongest force around the eldest prince, and the groups affected by these people will also be very extensive, and they can attract a lot of votes for the eldest prince
The second prince, who is now in charge of the legal affairs of the empire, is the highest judge in the empire and the highest law enforcer. The groups affected by him are also very wide, as long as there is no one in the Cangyue Empire who is not affected by the law.
Even if they are warriors in the wilderness, they don't need to obey the laws of the imperial court, but as long as they enter the city, they will still be subject to the law.
There are also more than one-third of the families, following the second prince, and there are really few families left, who have not yet chosen to stand in line.
After the big family has chosen the camp, it is now the turn of those small families and local families to make a statement.
In Xuannu County, there are more than a hundred families in the ranks, like the eight great families in Jinling City, and they will not enter the center of power, but if they choose the right camp, they will also benefit a lot in the future.
If the Jiang family fails to stand in line this time, their power will be divided and replaced, and these people will have their turn to those families who have chosen the right camp.
The three princes gave speeches on stage, which was also an opportunity for them to canvass for themselves and win over those local families.
The first to come to power was the three princes who made outstanding contributions in this war.
