Chapter 97: The Night Banquet (I)
"The ministers knocked on His Highness, His Highness is mighty. β
Like a rehearsed scene, Yu Xiaoxiang's beautiful eyes turned, and he found that hundreds of officials in the main hall were all lying on the ground with their heads grabbing the ground, and the voices made by hundreds of mouths were like one person.
"Excuse me, get up. Responding casually and indifferently, Xiao Yichen stepped into the main seat, and the Malaysian Golden Dao sat on the Eight Dragons Purple Gold Chair, while the Beichen sisters and brothers immediately lined up on both sides of the case in front of him, Yue'er and Xing'er stood on both sides of the Purple Gold Chair, but Yu Xiaoxiang obediently picked up the Purple Gold Pot that had already been placed on the table and poured the wine into the three-legged carved dragon Purple Gold Jue.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace. In response, everyone got up and knelt behind the desk, and almost no one dared to look up at Xiao Yichen on the purple gold chair.
Putting away the folding fan in his hand, Xiao Yichen chuckled and said, "This king encountered some emergencies today, so I asked you to wait for a day." I would like to apologize for my apologies. Full drink"
"The ministers don't dare. Drink to your heart's content. At the same time, he raised his wine glass, and after Xiao Yichen drank the jue wine, everyone drank it all.
Putting down the wine glass and letting Yu Xiaoxiang fill it again, Xiao Yichen said calmly: "I think you are also tired, and it doesn't feel good to be hungry." Xiang'er, go outside to spread the king's order, first open a banquet to eat your stomach, and then talk about the rest. β
"Yui. Yu Xiaoxiang, who had learned etiquette for a few days, was very honest at the moment, and after being blessed, he walked straight in front of the ministers, went out and gave a few orders, and then immediately walked back to Xiao Yichen's side.
Although it is only one in and one out, the graceful posture, light posture, and the appearance of the flowers and the moon still dazzle many lustful people in the hall. If it weren't for Xiao Yichen right in front of him, maybe someone would come forward to tease him.
Xiao Yichen didn't seem to care about the eyes of those people, and between his starry glances, he seemed to be sure of something.
I found a random topic and drank a glass of wine with everyone, and the flowing food began to be brought into the main hall by the servants in turn.
"Border planets, there are no decent ingredients for a long time, but the chef who makes these dishes is brought from the palace by this king, you may as well try it, but it is still to taste. Xiao Yichen saw that the dishes were almost the same, so he opened his mouth to greet him.
"The imperial chef beside His Highness is naturally extremely skilled. The dishes made with ordinary ingredients are also immortal feasts that I have never tasted in my life. The old minister thanked His Highness for his kindness, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and gave His Highness a cup. It was relatively close to Xiao Yichen, and the old man on the left raised his wine glass and said with a smile.
"You are Feng Zhen, Lord Feng, right?" Xiao Yichen raised his wine glass and asked with a smile.
"It is really a blessing for His Highness to know the old minister, and the old minister is Feng Zhen. Stealing from the left's political office. Feng Zhen said with a flattering smile on his face.
"Although Lord Feng is old and strong, he has been an official on this border planet all year round, and it is indeed hard. Xiao Yichen smiled again.
"To be able to serve the Holy Monarch, how can it be said that it is hard. It's a pity that the old minister can't see the face of the sky, but now he can see His Royal Highness's demeanor, which is enough to comfort his life. Feng Zhen's sycophants came one after another, and it seemed that he would not stop if he didn't shoot Xiao Yichen enough.
"Hahaha, that's a good point, you all have to learn from Lord Feng, serve the empire, and be loyal to your father!" Xiao Yichen seemed to be really useful, laughing and raising his glass again.
Turning his back and pouting, Yu Xiaoxiang said to Xing'er on his side with his mouth: "Old sycophant." β
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, then held her mouth and lowered her head, almost didn't laugh out loud, but it was Yue'er on the other side who signaled with her eyes that Yu Xiaoxiang was being messed up, which made the little girl spit out her little fragrant tongue and give birth.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the civil and military officers who were tired for a day finally felt that they were alive again, and Xiao Yichen had already put down his wine glass, grabbed the cold jade bone fan on the table that Xing'er called a priceless treasure, pointed to the side of the military attache and said, "Who is Liu Xianneng, the commander of the Star Domain garrison?"
As soon as he heard that he was called, Liu Xianneng, who was sitting in the first place of the military attachΓ©, immediately stood up, hurriedly walked to the middle, knelt down and buckled his head, and said: "The last general, Liu Xianneng, knock on His Highness." β
"You are Liu Xianneng?" Xiao Yichen's sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't seem to be very optimistic about this man's thin and ugly image.
Since His Royal Highness on the throne did not say that he was exempt, how dare Liu Xianneng stand up by himself, hurriedly straighten his upper body, bow down and say, "The last general is exactly." β
Nodding slightly, there didn't seem to be any likes or dislikes, Xiao Yichen opened the folding fan and said: "This king heard that the rabbit people and the cat people jointly rebelled, and you didn't send troops to quell the rebellion in the first three days, which led to the continuous expansion of the rebellion, are you guilty?"
"The last general has been wronged, please let your Highness allow the last general to explain the details. Liu Xianneng immediately kowtowed again and shouted loudly.
"This king can allow you to sit here and eat and drink well today, so I don't want to behead you directly. However, you can think it clearly, if there is no reasonable reason, you should know the military rules set by this king!" Xiao Yichen's voice became cold.
"No!" Liu Xianneng responded first, and then lay on the ground and said: "On that day, the rabbit people and the cat people raised troops, and the sentinels sent by the last general in each star cluster immediately sent back information. The last general knew that if anyone dared to rebel, according to the laws of the Empire, the defenders in all parts of the country should immediately send troops to quell the rebellion. At that time, although the garrison remaining in the capital star only had the second and fourth detachments, the last general still gathered them as soon as possible and personally went to the governor's office to ask for troops to quell the rebellion. However......"
Before Liu Xianneng's words were finished, Xiao Yichen knocked on the table with the folding fan in his hand and said: "Wait a minute! The imperial military and government are separated from the civil affairs, and the metropolitan governor is in charge of civil affairs in the star field, if you want to send troops to quell the rebellion, why do you have to ask Nangong Jun's dog for instructions?"
Liu Xianneng raised his head, showed a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Your Highness doesn't know that although the last general is in command of the garrison, the governor of the capital is holding the energy supply needed by the fleet. I usually train, and the energy in my hands is naturally enough. But if you want to put down the rebellion, you must have all the ships replenished, otherwise once you fight, it will be a joke with the lives of the soldiers. Therefore, the last general was in a hurry to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and wanted to ask the Metropolitan Governor to give him a warrant before he could go to the warehouse to take out enough energy bodies. β
"Nangong Jun is so authoritarian?" Xiao Yichen's eyes were even colder, and he said coldly: "Since you knew this was the case, why didn't you report it to the military department?"
With a wry smile, Liu Xianneng said sadly: "The last general is just a fourth-rank deputy general, Nangong Jun is not only a second-rank member, but his family is even more powerful. Even if the last general reports it, what can he do? The last general knows that he is guilty, and asks His Highness to surrender his guilt, no matter what kind of punishment, the last general willingly accept it. β
