Chapter 374: Hongmen Banquet
In the General's Mansion, as long as General Liu thinks you are useless, then there is no need to explain anything else, and you will be sentenced to death directly.
Therefore, such a poor person who inquires about intelligence died in the General's Mansion like this, and no one even came to pity him.
The person who came in and dragged the poor slave down also looked indifferent, and there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes, it was obvious that he had done such things many times, and he was used to it, so naturally he had no pity for this emotion.
After the man was taken down, General Liu leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, accompanying the king like a tiger, this is true, over the years, he has always been cautious and careful, for fear that if he provokes the emperor's displeasure, he will die, and now, he feels a little tired, even tired.
This tiredness and exhaustion is not only physical, but also mental.
After a while, General Liu opened his eyes, tired and tired, after all, it has been so many years, it should have been used to it, General Liu sighed, and began to prepare for the banquet in the evening.
The time soon came to the early dynasty.
Duan Bailan was in the Dingwang Mansion, although he had woken up, he didn't want to go to this early dynasty because ...... Duan Bailan was having dinner with Liu Nianru at this moment, how could she have any time to deal with those people in the palace?
"At this hour, shouldn't you go to the morning court?" Liu Nianru asked, she saw that it was almost dark, but Duan Bailan was still eating, and she didn't have the slightest intention of getting up to clean up.
"Yes," Duan Bailan nodded, "But we're all about to rebel, what are we going to do in that early dynasty?" Duan Bailan curled the corners of her lips and said.
"You better hurry up, maybe you can take this opportunity to pull more forces to our side." Liu Nianru rolled her eyes, isn't this a rebellion yet, and the surface work still has to be maintained.
Moreover, although it was known a long time ago that Duan Bailan was powerful in the court, but after all, the other party was the emperor, and the courtiers must be willing to support orthodoxy, right? They're not right.
Regarding Liu Nianru's white eyes, Duan Bailan smiled, "Since Ru'er wants me to go, then I'll go for a trip." ”
Duan Bailan knew that this was Liu Nianru thinking about him, thinking about it, Liu Nianru didn't think so much before, but now...... These changes are all because I care about him.
"Go and go back quickly, I'll wait for you here, remember to lobby the minister." Liu Nianru said.
"Yes!" Duan Bailan made a saluting gesture, and then went to clean up. There were still a lot of rules in the early dynasties, and it was one thing not to go, but if you did, you still had to respect the requirements of this tradition.
Liu Nianru looked at the direction Duan Bailan left, couldn't help but shake her head and smiled, and then called someone to clean up the dishes on the table, and then went to see Duan Bailan.
Liu Nianru sent Duan Bailan to the carriage, and watched the carriage leave before raising her feet and walking back, she now has an idea, go to the street to find out what Duan Bailan and the emperor have to say here, as it is called
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Then he called Chen Qin to disguise himself and went out of the Dingwang Mansion.
……
Imperial Palace, Early Dynasty.
The inside hadn't started yet, but the emperor had already arrived, and after finding that there was no figure of Duan Bailan among the civil and military officials standing below, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
But because Duan Bailan decided to come later, it was too late, and the emperor was about to speak, when he heard a shrill voice "His Royal Highness King Ding has arrived." ”
Then, everyone looked back, and in this section, everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Bailan's body, as if he was the real Emperor His Majesty, attracting everyone's attention.
There are still a lot of people here who don't know that Duan Bailan has returned, and they are curious about it, so they naturally want to find out.
The emperor looked at this scene, it was clear that he didn't take him in his eyes, the emperor was unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Why did King Ding come so late today?" The emperor asked with a smile, but the emperor's purpose was not so simple.
"Oh, I'm up late today." Duan Bailan said without being salty or light, and the meaning of indifference in his words was not concealed, obviously not taking the emperor in his eyes.
The emperor's face sank uncontrollably, but he quickly recovered, "It's okay, Aiqing will join the list quickly." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Duan Bailan smiled and walked to his place.
"Meet my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" The early dynasty began like this, and anyone could see the tension between the emperor and His Royal Highness King Ding, and the atmosphere was not very good.
"King Ding's rebellion has meritorious, I have decided to reward King Ding's gold and silver with 100 taels of silk and 100 horses, do you have any objections?" The Emperor laughed.
Everyone was stunned for a while, it stands to reason that no matter how much the reward is given to quell the war, it will not be too little, but ...... That's too little, isn't it?
Of course, everyone didn't dare to speak, they just watched the development of things silently, and now it's better not to mess with the team, otherwise they may not even know how to die.
"Thank Your Majesty for the reward, but the minister thinks it is better to fill the treasury with this." Duan Bailan smiled, and her tone was righteous and stern for the sake of Da'an.
"Hehe......" The emperor laughed dryly, "Aiqing is really for the country and the people." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, you deserve it." Duan Bailan said.
In short, this early dynasty is almost such an atmosphere, you come and go, and the other ministers don't dare to speak, so they can only silently watch the development of events.
General Liu kept looking at Duan Bailan, not knowing what kind of emotion was in his eyes, was he ...... Pick the wrong team.
Duan Bailan looks like this now, not at all like a person who has experienced major setbacks, but is full of spirit, her face is full of red light, and she looks like she is living a good life.
Looking at His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the high hall, he was a little less composed, and ...... Duan Bailan's talent is all knowledgeable and knowledgeable, otherwise how can he be a young man and be king?
Suddenly, General Liu felt that he had made the wrong choice, if it was himself
If Duan Bailan is supported, will the ending be completely different?
However, it should be too late for him to regret it now, and he has already promised His Majesty the Emperor that at least today's dinner will still be done, if Duan Bailan can really escape the catastrophe, General Liu really has to consider whether to change the team to stand.
……
"Retreat." With this shrill shout, the early dynasty of the "quarrel" between the emperor and Duan Bailan finally came to an end.
