Chapter 688: Banquet
In the imperial study, there was silence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This silence made Cai San want to shrink his neck and try to reduce his sense of existence.
His Majesty has been silent for a long time since His Royal Highness the Fifth and Lord Gao entered the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also involved......
Cai Sande thought of some bad pictures in his mind, and he fought a cold war.
"They insist on such confessions?"
Emperor Chengde's face was expressionless, and no one could see what emotions he was in his heart.
"Yes, Father." Zhou Tingyu replied.
"Little Wu, what do you think?"
Hearing His Majesty ask the opinion of the Fifth Highness, the other two people in the imperial study secretly looked at Zhou Tingyu out of the corner of their eyes.
"Father, the son thinks that he should summon the Jinzhou county guard back to Beijing and ask about the situation at that time." Zhou Tingyu said.
Emperor Chengde glanced at his son and responded, "Then according to what you say." ā
Then he asked, "What about Chen Yuanjian?" ā
Zhou Tingyu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Father, my son has been interrogating the three Turkic generals for a while." ā
It means that Chen Yuanjian has not yet been interrogated.
Emperor Chengde shook his head helplessly, no one wanted to get justice for those dead soldiers more than Xiao Wu, so he simply didn't say anything.
Zhou Tingyu observed his words and looks, and saw that his father didn't have anything to ask him, so he gave up his hands and withdrew from the imperial study with Master Gao.
Cai Sande secretly looked at Emperor Chengde, and saw that His Majesty was still reviewing the folds as before, and the speed was the same as before, and there was no major change in the same speed, and he pondered in his heart, and the words that His Royal Highness Fang had just replied to, it seemed that His Majesty did not care?
After thinking about it, Cai Sande couldn't understand His Majesty's thoughts, and he thought about His Royal Highness the Prince's personality, and felt that even he didn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would do that kind of thing, and His Majesty, as a monarch's father, should not believe it.
Cai Sande saw that there was nothing abnormal about His Majesty, and put his heart back in his stomach.
Separated from Lord Gao at the palace gate, returned to the mansion, washed up, and changed into clothes, Zhou Tingyu picked up Xiao Deyin and played with her, and when the two fathers and daughters were playing, they heard Shu Yanhua's voice sound.
"Ah Xu, you've been crowned Prince for several days, aren't you going to hold a banquet?"
Zhou Tingyu put her daughter on the bamboo mat again, watched her turn over with great effort, and said casually: "Don't do it, how can I have this free time to hold a banquet now?" ā
Shu Yanhua glanced at him helplessly, "This is the first prince of this dynasty, do you know how many posts I have received these days?" ā
On the day Zhou Tingyu was crowned King of Chu, he went to the prison in the middle of the afternoon, and then until today, he finally saw that he returned earlier than usual today, and Shu Yanhua hurriedly discussed this matter with him.
"What do those posts have to do with me? There is still a Chen Yuanjian waiting for my trial in the prison. ā
Zhou Tingyu saw Xiao Deyin turn over, and put her on her back on the bamboo mat, and continued to watch Xiao Deyin move.
"The second emperor's sister-in-law, the third emperor's sister-in-law, and the fourth emperor's sister-in-law all sent posts to ask when we were going to have a banquet, and the elders of the Duchess of Ningguo and Mrs. Chu Xiang also asked."
Shu Yanhua knows why these people are so concerned, first of all, Zhou Tingyu became the king of Chu, those who were close before wanted to maintain or even get closer, those who were not salty and light before wanted to be closer, and the hostile ones also took this opportunity to express their sincerity, at least now Zhou Tingyu's power is in full swing, and some small contradictions can be resolved.
Secondly, since the return of the army to the present, it has been a long time since a grand banquet has been held in Great Xia - the frontier was in an emergency, and then the whole court has always been concerned about the war in the border city, and no one dared to feast at that time.
Everyone has been holding back for a long time, and they also want to take this opportunity to have a good time, and the older ladies want to find a better half for their sons and girls, and which banquet held by a high-ranking family can compare to the banquet held by the King of Chu himself?
When Zhou Tingyu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "You said that the second sister-in-law sent someone to ask when we will hold a banquet?" ā
"Well, they've all asked."
Zhou Tingyu pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Shu Yanhua: "Hua'er, you make a list, and I'll see who you want to invite." ā
Shu Yanhua looked at him funny, "Didn't you say that you don't want to pay attention to it if you don't have time?" ā
Zhou Tingyu picked up Xiao Deyin, the two father and daughter faced each other, and smiled at the little girl, "My daughter can be the county lord in the future, and the dowry is indispensable, I am here to save a dowry for Xiao Deyin." Xiao Deyin, watch your father save a dowry for you that is more powerful than your mother's. ā
Xiao Deyin said "ahhhhh
Shu Yanhua didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, and he didn't ask more, but began to make a list, and when she listed all the people who should be invited in the capital, she handed it to Zhou Tingyu.
Zhou Tingyu held Xiao Deyin in his arms, held the list in his hand, swept them one by one, and added several people to it.
"Hey, invite them to a feast?"
Shu Yanhua looked at the names of Boss Zhang of Yipin Rice Shop and Old Man Peng of Peng's Rice Shop added by Zhou Tingyu in surprise, these are all businessmen, and they can't be said to be in the same place as the magnates who went to the banquet, and it is very likely that they will be snubbed when they come to the banquet.
"Well, these are the merchants who supported them when raising food, although we paid the money, but after all, it was thanks to them at that time that I had no worries, since I won the battle, then invite them to come over to the banquet together, don't worry about them being left out, isn't there still our grandfather Yan?"
Zhou Tingyu added the names of these people, in fact, he also had his own thoughts, and his uncle reminded him that he could trace down the grain, and he had sent people to various places to investigate and secretly visit these days to see who had bought grain on a large scale within half a year.
In addition, the eldest brother once said that he could also pay attention to the rice line, on weekdays, he is a prince, and it is reasonable to have an intersection with these rice shops, take advantage of this opportunity, but pay attention to it.
Zhou Tingyu picked and chosen, and also added the sergeant of the Tiger Ben Army who was awarded this time.
Shu Yanhua only made a rough calculation, if you count the ladies and ladies, it adds up to more than five hundred.
Shu Yanhua joked, "Fortunately, this mansion was built according to the prince's system from the beginning, otherwise it would really not be possible to arrange so many people." ā
"For that day's banquet, if the cook in the house is too busy, let's see if I can ask the cook from Grandfather Yan's Yue Chonglou to help.
As for the banquet, you go to visit your sister-in-law and ask her if she is free to help you entertain the guests. ā
Zhou Tingyu winked at Shu Yanhua and gave a look that both of them understood.
