Chapter 7: The Banquet
Chapter 7: The Banquet
"When else will there be nothing to retreat from!" Today is the early dynasty again, Mo Qingqing and the quilt fought for a long time before getting up, I didn't expect that today was quite idle, it was all some small things, for example, a certain minister accepted a concubine who was younger than his granddaughter,; General XX went to the Qinglou again and was kicked out by his mother-in-law, and when he came out, he was still running naked or something, Mo Qingqing was holding his forehead in the morning, and these ministers were exposing each other's private lives, and she felt the intrigue of the palace for the first time.
Anyway, why do you always have to tell her about these things?!
These old men have not stopped, and I am afraid that there will be a lot more twists and turns in the room.
She was hungry, and most of these ministers had breakfast, but she was the only one who didn't eat.
The ministers below whispered a few words, and then a prime minister standing in the corner spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's time for you to choose a concubine." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the few old ministers standing in front of them changed, how to choose a concubine?
The Great Dragon Dynasty is divided into three prime ministers, each of whom is a fictitious position, and has no real power or army at all, and the only use is to see some envoys from small countries who are different from the emperor to go out in person, as long as the prime minister goes.
Originally, in Mo Qingqing's previous generation, the prime minister still held the military power of the 6,000 forbidden army, but in Mo Qingqing's generation, the military power in his hand was completely exploited.
But the fact that the prime minister has no rights does not mean that the centralized power of the Great Dragon Dynasty is highly centralized, in fact, Mo Qingqing does not have many people in her hands, but the rights of some official positions that pose an extreme threat to her such as the prime minister are reduced to a minimum, and then these rights are distributed equally.
This prime minister has no memory in Mo Shi's mind, and basically doesn't say a word.
He suddenly mentioned this today, which is problematic.
"Your Majesty, the latest emperors of this dynasty all had children before the age of eighteen, but the emperor is already twenty-one......"
"I have a number, and you don't need to worry about my affairs." Before the prime minister finished speaking, Mo Qingqing interrupted him: "Retreat!" ”
After retiring from the dynasty, Mo Qingqing had a little brain pain whether the prime minister had taken the wrong medicine today, so she found Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie didn't know much about this, so he could only mobilize a few people to monitor it.
"Your Majesty, don't forget the banquet at night." When Taifu Xie left, he reminded, "Don't forget to come, this is this year's batch, just crown that Murong Mo as Taifu at the banquet, and other ministers will help the emperor divide it." ”
This year's imperial examination is actually in disguise to help Mo Qingqing find a good wife.
It's night.
Mo Qingqing changed into a set of dragon robes and went to the Agarwood Palace, and all the banquets were held in the Agarwood Palace.
She came just in time, and everyone was almost there, so she was ready to start.
Mo Qingqing was dumbfounded.
Dumbfounded by the delicious treasures on the table, this is simply a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, and a table about 30 meters long has all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
The banquet has started since the emperor, but this Emperor Mo's attention has been attracted by the things on the table, and he didn't even say a word to sit down, who is so big and not afraid to sit down?
"Ahem." At the critical moment, Mrs. Xie coughed, and Mo Qingqing came back to her senses, slightly embarrassed.
"Sit, sit, sit." Her brain has to short-circuit for three or four seconds when she sees food, so there is no rule in saying this.
Mrs. Xie almost fainted, Your Majesty, are you going to torture Weichen?!
Everyone sat down as embarrassed as Mo Qingqing, and suddenly fell silent, and Mrs. Xie on the side said secretly: "Your Majesty, you should say something." ”
"Say what?" Her attention was not here at all, "Isn't it just eating, what am I going to say?" ”
Mrs. Xie: "......" The emperor is not very reliable today.
No one came here for a table full of food, only Mo Qingqing was a wonder.
Taifu Xie had to stand up and talk to Mo Qingqing about a lot of theories, nothing more than boring words, and finally the last sentence got to the point: "The emperor appointed Murong Mo as the emperor to assist the emperor." ”
Murong Mo seemed unmoved, and there was no expression on his face, but he said, "Emperor Xie." ”
The tanhua list beside him got up to congratulate him, he returned the salute, and Mrs. Xie said: "The remaining emperors haven't thought about it yet, wait for the emperor to think about it." ”
This cadre said in unison: "Thank the emperor." ”
The people who participated in the banquet this time were all characters above the third grade, and several of the emperor's personal princes were gone, but there were two princes of the opposite sex, but these two had some military power in their hands, after all, they were princes, and they couldn't even give a few people, so it was too stingy.
"I haven't seen you for a long time." In my memory, this man in his early thirties is Zhao Wangye, and standing next to him is his princess, with a hand on his shoulder.
Zhao Wangye is okay, he said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if the emperor's dragon body is good?" ”
"Okay." Mo Qingqing said.
"Brother Emperor." The seven or eight-year-old girl pulled her dragon robe, "It's been a long time since I've seen the emperor's brother." ”
Pulling her clothes is the daughter of Prince Zhao, the county lord of Shaoyang, who used to have a good relationship with Mo Shi and often played with her.
"It's been a long time since I've seen him, how are you doing?" She has indeed not seen Zhao Jin for a long time, since she ascended the throne, she has been locked in the palace, either to the court or to review the folds, basically there is no time to go out for a walk, and you may not be able to meet acquaintances when you go out, and the last time Zhao Jin met was the summer resort nearly a year ago, and she has to go to the summer resort every summer to escape the summer.
It's summer again.
"Yes, brother emperor, my father won't let me come out to play, and he wants me to read some boring books every day." She pouted, very unhappy, seven or eight years old many children of rich families began to learn some simple things at about this time, most of them were the Four Books and Five Classics, and the girls were "The Biography of the Daughters".
She smiled and didn't say anything, the wine glass in her hand was full, and the wine glass was wine yellow with a hint of heaviness, it was the best daughter red.
Mo Shi can drink, but Mo Qingqing can't drink it, looking at this glass of wine, she was a little stuffy, it happened that a large group of important officials of the court raised their wine glasses, she had to drink a glass hard, she drank a little urgently, accidentally choked, hot.
She's really not fit to drink!
After three rounds of drinking, Mo Qingqing, who couldn't drink, also drank three or four glasses of wine, but he was dizzy and didn't know the east, west, north and south.
And inside the hall, drunk drunk, chatting and waiting for me to chat, the hall was full of wine, she frowned, drank a cup of honey tea, woke up and got up and walked outside the hall.
Outside the Agarwood Hall is a stream that crosses the palace, the stream is veined, and there is a small and exquisite bridge across the river.
On the bridge, there is a man leaning against the railing next to the wall to enjoy the scenery.
