Chapter 199: The Queen's Birthday Banquet
Through the description of the princess, several people have already guessed.
Li De was a little embarrassed to be praised, he was worthy of having eaten the food he had cooked by himself, it was really a noodle, and he was really flattered to praise him in front of the emperor and the prince.
Emperor Wen of Sui was not so optimistic, but became serious, Princess Lanling's attention to Li De was obviously investigated, both civil and military, and learned, he knew that although Lanling was a little nonsense, it was even stronger than the ability of several princes in major matters.
Lanling's words are really of reference value, so he began to look at Li De again, showing that he is talented and capable, and his background is okay, but he is more worried.
"I have clear rewards and punishments, do a good job of the queen's birthday banquet, I have a lot of rewards, you should step back first."
Emperor Wen of Sui dismissed the people, and if he stayed, he might have to make some demands from Lanling.
Li Dezhi left, and he was still very happy about Lanling's recommendation, there are people in the court who are good officials, and it is not bad to have a princess to support him.
Someone from the Ministry of Engineering came to take measurements and left, and they all looked quite professional.
Li De can't say anything in terms of style, and he can't say anything about the internal structure, after all, it's a palace building, so he just let it go, anyway, there is a canteen for people to eat, the purpose is to be lively.
As for the figure, what needs to be seen in the after-effects.
Li De's new dishes have been approved by the emperor, and after the news came out, the threshold of the Shangshi Bureau was almost flattened by people who came and went, but anyone with a little financial resources wanted to try it.
Where will the concubines in the harem be free, and if they don't treat themselves well, how can they be called enjoying glory and wealth.
For the Shang Food Bureau, you can eat something good enough, anyway, the monthly order of the harem concubines does not belong to them, the cooks, and how much it costs depends on the individual.
The ingredients in the palace are even more people, and the palace treasury has allocated two pieces of silver to the account in time, and it is the most profitable of the palace's financial payments, so there is no need to worry about trivial matters.
On the day of the queen's birthday, Chang'an City is full of lights, the street is full of people, the vehicles of the birthday are partly gathered towards the palace, and there are some diplomatic relations that come to celebrate the birthday from thousands of miles away, and the gifts are not necessarily how precious, but they are definitely some specialties.
The most eye-catching thing is that the 480,000 taels of Huanggang were escorted by soldiers and horses along the way, swaggering into the city, and many curious onlookers could only watch from the side.
The windows above the restaurants facing the street are full of people watching and watching the excitement.
The man in the Taoist robe saw the target appear, and whispered a little nervously: "Brother, the person is coming, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape if you move your hands." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, let's see the situation." Wei Zheng, who had a deep face, said in a low voice.
Xu Maogong, who was dressed in Taoist robes, was worried in his heart, if they really did it, they would definitely go out of the city, and the matter of the 'Imperial Gang' would be like a sharp knife hanging above their heads, and they would find out the truth of the matter.
Yang Lin's 'Emperor Gang' was feared everywhere he went, and those who fought its ideas became prey.
Since they fled from the 'Heroes Conference', they have received news that all the Xiangma mountain bandits in the places where Yang Lin soldiers and horses have said have been affected, and few can leave a complete view of the mountain.
For 480,000 taels of riding most of the green forest, they want to know the truth, like a remote control, they want to know who planned all this.
This person is a huge threat to them, so they must be identified.
"Brother, look, the guards have the Xiao Cavalry Guard of King Jin, Yu Wenhua and the Tianbao Guard led by Yu Wenhua."
The whole two armies of iron armor entered the city with a lot of anger, and there were blood stains on many armors that had not been cleaned up.
"A strong army is unmatched." Wei Zheng muttered softly.
Xu Maogong naturally saw it, with such a sophisticated guard, it was no wonder that he was looking down on him all the way.
"The king of the backers will shoot the elite, and Biansai is not afraid of any changes when he notices that the soldiers and horses defending the city are decreasing?"
Wei Zheng calmly swiped his beard and entered a state of thought, and kept watching the tasting team pass by, shaking his head inexplicably.
"Mao Gong, it seems that things are really going bad." Wei Zheng said suddenly.
Xu Maogong is actually better at military affairs, and he is very curious about the overall situation before the plan is hot.
"What comes to mind?"
Wei Zheng closed the window, and the guest room of the restaurant immediately became a lot quieter, and then said: "This matter is not trivial, I guess it should be related to the throne." ”
Duke Xu Mao immediately asked: "You mean the dispute between the princes, but what is the matter with the king of the backers, is Mobei not important?" ”
"Duke Mao, what you think is too simple, I guess there are two possibilities for the king of the backer to bring the elite back to the dynasty, the first is to consolidate the throne, and the second is to determine the successor."
"The crown prince and the king of Jin are at odds, and now there is a backer king to return to the dynasty, even if there is a fight, there will be no chaos." Xu Mao is fair.
"I'm more inclined to the first possibility, don't forget that the soldiers and horses of the backer king can't attack at all from the battle along the way, four hundred and eighty thousand taels may be a disguise, but there must be an internal response."
"Brother, our people have not yet found out who the clues will be." Xu Maogong wondered.
"I'm afraid that this person has a big plan." Wei Zheng sighed.
All the shops on Yanjie Street are hung with silk and satin to show their festivities, and all the people on the street come out to see the excitement, mainly to see the convoy and people who transport the birthday gifts.
What's even more exaggerated is that the convoy is beating gongs and drums all the way to the direction of the palace, and not only can you hear the sound of drums, but also musicians playing repertoire, and even singers dancing on the carriage of Xunyou.
It's a pity that there are many guards along the way, and people who watch the excitement are quite far away from watching.
Prince Yang Yong's motorcade was banging and beating all the way, and it followed the car into the palace.
Emperor Yang of Sui sat on the top of the main hall and looked at Queen Dugu with a smile, his expression was not too happy.
"The king of the backer offers 480,000 taels." The father-in-law took the gift slip and began to chant loudly, and his voice was long, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.
With such a number, the reactions in everyone's ears were different, and a group of important ministers were calm and unwavering, with surprisingly calm expressions.
The emperor and the empress were smiling, how could they not be happy with such a large amount of silver taels in the warehouse, and then looked at the backer king sitting on the side with an expressionless face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, very calm.
The prince was full of joy and anger, and happily picked up the wine glass and poured himself a drink.
Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was as happy as he was, and he was imperceptibly disappointed in a flash.
"Knock knock!" The drums sounded.
I heard my father-in-law start to announce the curtain and said, "Singing and dancing, splendid and prosperous." ”
Using an oversized drum as a stage, dozens of people were carried in, and on top of it stood a masked dancer, and the musicians began to play along with the music, and the dance began, and the dancer touched her feet, and the drum beat was played along with the music, and every blow was just right.
