Chapter 270: The Butcher's Knife Held High (Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
After preparing for a whole day, Gu Yanqi finally sent out the post of the small banquet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, she still broke her promise, saying that it was a banquet, not a small party.
Because of her post, she just called a few people, if it weren't for Gu Yanjiu hearing that her sister was holding a banquet and silently filling in the names of a few sons, this banquet would have completely become a gathering of Gu Yanqi's friends.
Even so, the people invited are all acquaintances and friends.
"Du Yi, Feng Wu, Anyang, well, plus the people invited by my brother, Qi live. Gu Yanqi personally wrote the invitation, and the calligraphy of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance and the exquisite invitation reflected each other, which seemed particularly sincere.
The date on the invitation is three days later, on the 17th day of the first lunar month.
Setting this date was not a casual thought, she had a certain consideration, of course, she didn't tell anyone about her consideration, because she wanted to go out to find her father.
Of course, I still have to talk to my brother about this matter, but in order to avoid my brother's opposition, of course, I have to cut it first, but the most important thing now is to get together with the little sisters, and after she comes back, they are angry, and this party can be regarded as a small farewell.
The other nobles in Kyoto were still waiting for the invitation from the county lord of Anyang! As everyone knows, they have long been rejected by Gu Yanqi.
"Are you going to invite the three of them? Won't it be too little?" Gu Yanjiu looked at the invitation with dissatisfaction, and said What about the banquet? Just three girls...... He had a bit of a toothache.
"Well, I'm not familiar with anyone else. Gu Yanqi said confidently.
Gu Yanjiu was silent for a moment, agreed with Gu Yanqi's statement, and blamed himself in his heart, it was his fault that Xiao Qi didn't make more friends, but he was a big man and had no way to introduce her to the little girl.
And every time I attended a banquet before, it was like a curse, not to mention knowing friends, it would be good if I wasn't killed.
and so on, it can be regarded as meeting new friends, such as Feng Wu, for example, Du Yi.
Gu Yanjiu frowned, why didn't he have an impression of Du Yi?
"When did Xiao Qi meet Du Yi?" Gu Yanjiu was still not at ease, and decided that it would be better to ask, the safety of his sister was more important than anything else.
"I don't know her. Gu Yanqi blinked, but she was apologizing to her brother in her heart, she didn't mean to lie to her brother, but she really didn't know Du Yi in this life.
"Didn't you say that you don't invite unfamiliar ones?" Gu Yanjiu almost didn't squirt out of a sip of tea, and he didn't understand his sister's brain circuit.
Gu Yanqi pursed his lips, "Who said I wasn't familiar with her." ”
Gu Yanjiu ignored Gu Yanqi's deliberate misinterpretation and waited for Gu Yanqi to explain.
"I've been friends with Du Yishen for a long time, but I can't help but meet, isn't this an opportunity to get to know each other!" When Gu Yanqi said these words, there was an indescribable admiration and light in his eyes, which made Gu Yanjiu's words swallow directly back into his stomach.
However, he still decided to check Du Yi, don't be someone else's chess piece with ulterior motives to deliberately approach Xiao Qi.
After asking people to send the invitations to the various mansions, Gu Yanjiu left, Gu Yanjiu has been very slow recently, and Gu Yanqi has not had much time to see him.
If it weren't for the fact that the banquet needed to be negotiated with Gu Yanjiu, it was estimated that he would not have met him.
As for what Gu Yanjiu was going to do, she had some vague guesses, but she didn't ask.
The matter of trade with overseas was almost determined, and the specific conditions were to wait for the envoy to return to inform their king, and the barbarian princess stayed in the Great Zhou to prepare for marriage, and when the official trade was officially traded, she would marry directly to the Marquis of Anding as a dowry.
The day of the mission's departure was set for the eighteenth day of the first month.
At the moment when the whole country was celebrating, the Great Zhou Dynasty had the second imperial purge since the emperor's accession to the throne.
The first time was when the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor, who was still unable to convince the public, used thunder to kill the radicals in the court who opposed his accession to the throne.
After so many years, some people have forgotten that the emperor was once also a tiger, and the tiger usually turns a blind eye when he naps, but now the tiger opens his eyes again and once again shows the majesty of the tiger.
In fact, people with a heart have long discovered the emperor's actions, and this storm has begun to brew since last year's Dali Temple Qing Zhao was beheaded all over the house.
At that time, the people who forced the palace intended to let the emperor take back his fate, but the emperor's attitude of rejecting the dynasty was very clear, I don't know what the reason is, those people didn't really admonish, and after a long time, the emperor didn't pursue those people, and everyone thought that the matter was over.
But I don't know that when the emperor killed the Zhao family, he had already begun to lay out, including the current trade with overseas, just to confuse people, the real purpose is still the Great Purge.
Smart people may have discovered some clues, so they usually have some restraint in their behavior in the world, for fear that they don't know why they are being targeted.
And the second prince is one of the smart people, so he was a little hesitant when he opposed trade with overseas, and it was this hesitation that made him miss a great opportunity and make trade a reality.
Of course, it was also because of this hesitation that he saved his life.
And the others are not so simple, those who forced the palace at the beginning, and those who are now more fierce against trade, without exception, are full of cases belonging to them on the emperor's table.
Some of these cases were secretly investigated by the emperor, some were reported by others, and some were backlogged before, all of which were placed on the table with a gloomy face on the table without exception.
Although he was prepared, when he really saw the examples in the case, the emperor was still furious!
Master Li, a scholar of Qunfu Wenhuadian University, is the most active of these people, and he is also the highest official position, and he is the object of the emperor's attention.
Although he didn't burn, kill and loot, what he did made people even more angry, this Li Daren actually has a hobby of eating dead babies! And he specializes in eating baby girls!
Of course, the reason why he has not been found for so many years is that he raised a bunch of women in a secret village, just to be able to ensure the production of stillborn babies for a long time, and those women were not allowed to come out after arriving at the manor, and they were not allowed to meet outsiders until they were disposed of after losing their fertility.
What is even more unscrupulous is that the women who are locked up know their own role, and of course they don't know the consequences of waiting for them to lose their usefulness, but are kept in the dark, fantasizing that they will be released one day.
These poor women, while dreaming about their own children, numb acceptance...... When the emperor saw these narratives, the anger in his heart could no longer be contained, and he directly overturned the entire table.
"It's really a great crime! It's a great crime!" The emperor's angry beard was high, and his eyes were full of storms, like a butcher's knife raised high, and he didn't know where it would fall in the next moment.
When he calmed down, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he had cried, and they all said that men don't flick when they have tears, let alone the emperor of the Ninety-Five!
He held back his anger, read the rest of the dossier, robbed the women of good families, embezzled and accepted bribes, kept private troops in captivity, wantonly amassed wealth, stole military rations, smuggled and sold salt, and minted coins privately......
The emperor closed his eyes tightly and couldn't let go for a long time, is this the country he has guarded all his life? How could he be gnawed like this by moths?
