Chapter 68: The Night Banquet
Qing Dynasty this year's wind and rain are smooth, it is a good year of abundant grains, the world is peaceful, and there are more tricks in the palace for the New Year, first the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked for a big New Year's Eve, and then the courtiers followed up, joined in the fun, and the excerpts were handed up one by one, all saying that the year was good, and it happened that the prince was in charge of the new country, and it was time to organize a celebration. The emperor was happy, and he asked the Internal Affairs Office to do it, as for what to do, there is a general manager in the Internal Affairs Office who is good at eating, drinking, and having fun, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the excitement?
said that he wanted to do a big New Year's Eve, and said how to be lively, and said that money is not a thing, so it is easy to do, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs handed over a few booklets in three days. The emperor asked the crown prince to choose by himself, and he could choose whichever kind of excitement he liked. The prince picked the one that did not slip away, and the people in the Internal Affairs Office were still wondering when they received the order - didn't they say how lively it was? Why did you suddenly change your mind again?
In fact, what the prince thinks about is not how lively it is, but what kind of excitement can tie Shen Wenzhao to death, from the night of the New Year's Eve to the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is best not to even go home on the first day of the New Year!
In this way, it makes sense to choose the lively set that does not slip away - there are many places where the prince needs to work in that lively set, and as soon as the prince moves, the guard officers around the prince have to follow suit, unless the excitement is over, otherwise he has to follow inch by inch!
The head of the Internal Affairs Office was a clever man, and he smelled something strange from here, insignificant and fleeting, and there was an extraordinary opportunity hidden here, and if he seized it, he would be able to soar in no time. The timing is the perfect time, and the risk is also a great risk, if you will be wrong and offend these phoenixes and dragon grandchildren, it is not enough to die ten thousand times! He thought about it for a day, and when it was nightfall, he slapped his thigh! Dare to eat meat, dare to eat fart! If you want to be the pinnacle of glory and wealth, you have to dare to take the risk of killing your head!
The next day, the chief saw that there was no one left and right, so he had the courage to say half a sentence to the prince, "Your Highness, Silla has paid tribute to two strange people to come and ......", and when he said this, he stopped again, his expression was ambiguous, as if he was hiding dirt, obviously dirty, but dirty and upright, and he was embarrassed to peddle his dirt in front of him.
Xiao Heng didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he let out a "hmm" from his nostrils, and walked directly past him and walked forward, saying as he walked: "You have to tell me about such a thing, your Internal Affairs Office is also idle enough!" โ
When the manager heard it, this was going to be a bad dish! I didn't dare to fight the idea of hanging my appetite, so I hurriedly poured beans into the bamboo tube, and finished speaking: "Your Highness, don't you know, if these two people are ordinary playthings, the minions don't dare to do it in front of you, they will have some spells...... That is, they have a way to make people happy...... It doesn't matter how reluctant you were before, after their hands, they will naturally stick together, and you can't disassemble it......"
Xiao Heng stood down, a pair of eyes pierced the chief manager's body like a knife, and his words were even more unkind: "I don't know that the Internal Affairs Office has been in charge of the two feelings recently, it's interesting!" After speaking, he snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away!
The manager made him scared enough, he couldn't slow down for a long time, stood for a while, and was taking out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, but he saw a person coming in front of him, and he looked at it, it was the head of the East Palace. Both of them are the chief managers, and it is said that the grades are almost the same, but now that the prince is in charge of the country, the identity of the head of the East Palace has also gone up, and the waist pole is naturally a little harder than the head of the House of Internal Affairs, as soon as the two sides meet, the head of the House of Internal Affairs first bows his waist, and after the mutual salute, the head of the East Palace speaks, whispering, almost whispering: "Your Highness let you go over at night!" โ
There's a door! It seems that this move is the right move! The ultimate glory and wealth are in front of you!
The chief manager of the Internal Affairs Office was happy in his heart, his face was tense, and he solemnly agreed, and he really went to the East Palace as soon as it was night.
The prince also had to take care of state affairs, and let him wait in the side hall, and this wait until the fixed shift time, waiting for his heart to be in a hurry, I don't know if there are any variables here, and several times I thought of the long night dream, and the supreme glory and wealth and Senluo Hell are separated by a thin layer of window paper, and there is a danger of piercing at any time and falling from the sky to the ground. It's been a few hours! He almost wanted to kneel on the spot and crawl in front of the prince to beg for mercy!
Fortunately, the prince still saw him, although he didn't pick a serious time - he took off his court clothes, changed into pajamas, and was ready to go to bed, washed there, called him in, and asked him casually: "What you said this morning, the two warlocks from Silla Gong, according to that, seem to have some ability?" โ
"Yes, the slave has tried, it is true, otherwise I would not dare to disturb His Highness." The manager didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said one and ten, and specifically mentioned that he had "tried".
As soon as he heard that he had tried it, the prince became interested and asked more carefully: "Oh, have you tried it?" How did you try it? โ
"Whew! It's not just to get two people, originally black-eyed chickens don't deal with each other, pinch when you see it, pinch when you see it, it's really weird, the two warlocks from Silla Gong don't know what spells they cast, and look at them after a few days, those two people are as good as one person! Gee! It's so numb, it's boring to watch! The manager frowned, and his face was full of ambiguity and squalor that could only be understood.
Xiao Heng smiled slightly, and hooked his finger at him, "You come, you have something to explain." After the deed is done, there are benefits for you! โ
The chief manager was relieved, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over to listen to His Royal Highness the Prince's will, nodded while listening, his eyes slowly widened, and when he heard that he was finally holding up the boss, his demeanor was that kind of enlightenment-style enlightenment, after the prince finished speaking, he understood in his heart, and went back to prepare.
In a blink of an eye, it will be the twenty-ninth year, tomorrow the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the night of the new year is the emperor's guest as usual, the banquet of the courtiers, the twenty-ninth year, the prince also invited a guest here, just invite these close ministers around him, Shen Wenzhao is the chief of the guard, and of course he is among them. He got the news in the morning, turned around and found an excuse that he couldn't go, full of thought that he had pushed it off, who would have thought that at noon, his eldest brother actually came over, and the brothers were stunned when they met - when the elder brother didn't expect the younger brother to live so widely, and the decoration was actually compared with the prince's example, and the brain was "groaning", and the heart said that this was an arrogance! Although this is the prince's one-handed arrangement, it is still arrogant!
As a younger brother, I didn't expect that the eldest brother would actually find a place for his office, his elder brother he knows best, one by one, if it is not a big event, it is impossible to pick this time to come to the door. Although each has his own thoughts, brothers are brothers, and there is no reason to stand and speak, Shen Wenzhao let him in, poured him a cup of warm tea, and waited quietly for him to finish drinking before he spoke: "Big brother, do you have something to do with me?" โ
"Not a big deal...... Ziyu, tonight, His Royal Highness invited a banquet for his close ministers, as a courtier, he should take into account the overall situation. โ
It means that you have to give the prince's face, otherwise others will not look like it, the master will invite a slave, and the slave will pick and choose to kick his nose and face, and if he doesn't go, he won't go, where will the master's face go? !
"Isn't it just a meal, and I don't lack that meal!" Shen Wenzhao muttered, not daring to let go of his throat and his brother like a prince. People are like this, who indulges him, who lets him, who lets him, he knows clearly, so who can bully and who can't, who can be perfunctory, who can't be perfunctory, he also has a clear understanding. Shen Wenzhao is also a human being, of course, he can't get rid of the routine, he knows that the prince indulges him, so he does it by his temperament, knowing that the prince is the prince, and the prince's face is very big, and he can't refute it lightly, but he just doesn't want to flatter with his temperament, he wants to come half of it is human nature, half of it is his own โกโก, and the heroic temperament, where is it so easy to bend his waist for whom? !
"The Shen family is now on the cusp of the storm, and you can't avoid it, do you still want to hand a handle to someone else's mouth?!"
The prince's grace is a fire, the Shen family is roasting on the fire, and it is very uncomfortable, but there is no way out, you can only boil on the fire, the only thing the people can do is to try to be as restrained as possible, to put it bluntly, it is to clamp the tail and be a man, don't leave the handle, don't let others have the opportunity to chew their tongues!
โโฆโฆ I'll just go, what's the hurry! After holding it for a long time, he was stunned and said something unreasonable, as if he couldn't hold back his anger, and released it by speaking.
His eldest brother turned his head to look at him, and when he saw that he was snorting angrily, he looked like a stalker, so he said to him: "It's all for you, for our family, you don't have to be annoyed like this, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, the truth still needs me to say?!" โ
After teaching the younger brother a lesson, and getting him a word, the eldest brother of the Shen family went back to his right minister's yamen.
As soon as it was dark every day, there were attendants from the East Palace who came to invite, and there were quite a few people, as if they were afraid that he would slip away halfway or not want to go at all, so the people were ready first, and they had to carry him over!
Since he promised his eldest brother, of course Shen Wenzhao is a talker, and he will leave, as soon as he raised his feet, the head of the inner chamberlain stopped him and said that His Royal Highness said that they are all his own people, and the adults should change their official clothes and go over, there are prepared regular clothes here, can you change them? After speaking, he took a step back, and a small chamberlain came from behind, holding a set of moon-white regular clothes in his hand, no need to look, the materials and workmanship are top-notch, Shen Wenzhao wanted to say no, but then he thought about it, he went, and simply went to the end, just change it, save a while to see that he didn't change, and the prince had something to say.
Shen Wenzhao's appearance is flat and stable, but his body is outstanding, straight and slippery, and he is fit everywhere, which is quite a bit of "the son of the owner", it is too much to increase one point or subtract one point, it's so good! The shelves are good, the clothes are good, and after wearing them, they are stable and have a bit of a romantic state.
