Chapter 457: The Storm Rises (29)
The movement of Shaohua Palace did not affect the holding of the reception banquet in the main hall.
In the main hall, there is a staggered plan.
Cheng Qing sat on the main seat with a wine glass, his hooking phoenix eyes were a little blurry, and his eyes were also very fluttering, looking like he was drunk.
"Your Majesty, the old minister will give you a drink!"
Master Zhang stood up and raised the wine glass in his hand tremblingly. He is indeed an old minister, this year is already an ancient year, and he is the oldest adult in the prime minister's camp.
"I should respect Lord Zhang, you are a senior........"
"The old minister did it first as a respect. ”
Master Zhang was obviously a little drunk, with an old face, and drank the wine from the wine glass, "Your Majesty, it's your turn!"
Cheng Qing sighed, smiled and shook his head, "Today is a reception banquet for the general, but in the end, I have become the protagonist, ....... you?"
He raised his glass and looked at the ghost-faced general sitting on the side, "Come on, General, this glass is my respect for you." Today's smooth pacification of chaos is inseparable from your credit, this cup, I drank it first. ”
Cheng Qing drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and somehow, this aging wine, which should have been sweet, was now indescribably bitter in his mouth, burning in his throat, making him frown.
"The emperor has drunk a lot, and he shouldn't have drunk it. ”
The Ghostface General raised an eyebrow, and there was no expression on his resolute face. He and Cheng Qing are also old acquaintances, they are all called brothers in the military camp, but now they can only be called monarchs and ministers in the court, which makes him a little unaccustomed.
He has been stationed at the border all the year round, and he has almost forgotten the truth about these monarchs and ministers. Originally, he thought that this reception banquet should only be for him and Cheng Qing, but Cheng Qing finally called a lot of people to attend.
Naturally, the adults from the prime minister's camp who had just won a big victory also participated.
So he always felt that the political struggle was really terrible. If you are on the wrong side, you will lose your life. Not long ago, his hands were stained with the blood of a lot of adults in the Taifu camp. The frightened and resentful faces were much more uncomfortable than what he had seen when he was fighting.
"Happy today, this wine must be drunk, you should drink more, today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"
Cheng Qing beckoned, and Decai immediately walked over.
"You, I'll tell the dancers in the dance room later, get them ready to dance. ”
"Your Majesty, you may be drunk...... Wasn't the dance room eliminated by you today?"
"Did you get rid of ........?"
Cheng Qing looked at Decai's face, and Jun's face suddenly lost expression, "Yes, it was eliminated by me, yes, that hateful old woman also took the criminals away........"
He suddenly burst out laughing, and the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, "This stupid woman, the woman who wanted to kill me was taken away by her! Does she think that she didn't kill me back then, and she still regrets it! She dares to threaten me! She dares to threaten me with what happened back then! For the sake of a woman who wants to kill me! She threatens me!"
"The Emperor...... Your Majesty....you ......."
"I'm not drunk. ”
Cheng Qing turned his head, and a charming smile appeared on his face again, "Everyone, keep drinking yours, don't care about here." It's a good day, let's be happy. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty......."
One by one, the ministers lowered their heads and drank their wines, not daring to make any loud noises.
The emperor is like this, if they don't know each other, wouldn't they be stupid.
"Your Majesty, today is the minister's reception banquet, let's drink it, the night is also dark, let the other adults go?"
The ghost-faced general stood up, poured a full glass of wine, and saluted the ministers opposite, "Ladies and gentlemen, you see that our emperor is drunk like this, and it will not be good to drink it again....... everyone, let's disperse, this wine, I salute you for the emperor." ”
He said as he drained his glass.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a meeting later. ”
"There will be a period after the general. ”
The ministers are all monkey spirits one by one, and it looks like the one above is already drunk, and there is no point in staying any longer, since the ghost face general personally poured the wine, they might as well get off the donkey down the slope and take advantage of this opportunity to go quickly.
"Then, Mochen and I will stay with the general and the emperor, other adults, go back early, don't forget tomorrow's early dynasty. ”
"The ministers retired. ”
The adults put down their glasses one by one and quickly left the hall.
In the main hall, all of a sudden, only Cheng Qing, General Ghost Face, Decai, Prime Minister and Mochen were left.
"I don't know why, the emperor wants to use this method to drive people out. Wouldn't it be nice to just ask the adults to leave? ”
As soon as the man left, the ghost-faced general sat down on the ground and sprinkled wine on himself.
Cheng Qing, who was already drunk on the table just now, raised his head suddenly,
"Isn't this where you are today, I don't need to say it myself, how do you say that sentence, can you work harder. Yes, Prime Minister. ”
"Yes, thanks to the general's presence today, otherwise this errand would have to be done by the minister. ”
The prime minister also relaxed, Mo Chen on the side had no expression, seeing that Cheng Qing was completely like a nobody, he simply drank by himself.
"I didn't say it just now, Prime Minister, your godson is very good. I look like a talent. ”
Cheng Qing supported his head with one hand, and his eyes swept to Mo Chen's body.
Mo Chen felt his eyes, put down the wine glass in his hand, and stood up respectfully and saluted.
"The emperor praised him like this, Mo Chen didn't dare to take it. ”
"Hahaha, you know, I've never been a big fan of telling the truth. But when I see you today, I think you are a talent, and this compliment is sincere. ”
"The last time the emperor praised people like this, it should be in the barracks, praising a deputy general, and later that deputy general killed a lot of soldiers in the Yue Kingdom and made a lot of contributions, and now he is also a leader in the barracks. ”
There was a rare smile on the grim face of the Ghost Face General, but his smile still didn't seem to have any affinity, which made people feel a chill down their backs.
Mo Chen crooked the corners of his mouth,
"The emperor has always been very accurate in looking at people, since the emperor thinks that Mochen has the ability, then Mochen should be bold to respond........"
"Hey, I want to hear it, but it's not that you're bold........"
"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will say something. ”
The prime minister interrupted Cheng Qing's words, and his actions also made Cheng Qing frown,
"Oh, what are you going to say?"
"Although Mochen is an excellent child, he is not suitable for being an official, he is used to being free and casual, and he only has a lot of things in his heart, how to play, how to make trouble, he can do things well in the rivers and lakes, but when he enters the officialdom, I am afraid it will only drag down the emperor........"
"Prime Minister, I asked Mochen, I didn't ask you, don't be in such a hurry to answer for him. ”
Cheng Qing's face looked a little bad,
"Now I have a lot of fewer people, and it is the time when there is a shortage of people, how can I miss a seedling like Mochen?"
