Chapter 224: Set up a banquet for the Chu Palace
What's more, after the Yangtze River was really crossed, in addition to the 3,000 pro-military camps still not officially returned the weapons and armaments, the corresponding treatment of Song Jie, the king of Qin, was really directly restored to the earlier Wang Jia's honor guard, and he didn't even know that he got the corresponding official sedan chair from there.
From a distance, Song Jie, the king of Qin, was either sitting in the official sedan chair of the king's driver, or riding on a white dragon horse with almost no miscellaneous hair, followed by Huo Yidao, the number one master of their Qin Palace, on either side of him were the general Liu Yansheng and the lord Bo Lu Zhaoming, and around the four of them were the seventy white armored guards.
As for the iron courage Chen Ping and the general Zhao Jia, they could only crowd from afar on the periphery of the guard of honor of King Song Jie of Qin, looking extremely respectful and humble.
Not only that, but at this time, the four ghosts of Xiangxi had already quietly retreated incognito, and went to the Chu Wangfu first.
As for the 3,000 Qin Wangfu pro-military camps, at this time, they also followed the orders of Chen Ping, who were brave and brave, and consciously lined up in a neat marching column, following behind Qin King Song Jie and them from a distance, but they did not play the banner of their Qin Wangfu openly.
Of course, it may be due to various considerations, when he got here, although Song Jie, the king of Qin, had already enjoyed the corresponding royal guard of honor, he also did not play his king flag of the king of Qin seriously.
In this way, although they are quite spectacular along the way, almost no one can guess that the protagonist of the king's guard of honor is the dignified Qin King Song Jie.
On the contrary, more ordinary people, even those middle and lower-level local officials, are still confused that the protagonist of the king's honor guard is directly their current Chu King Zhao Xing.
You know, this is the march of a large army that covers the sky and the sun, and unless those ordinary people have special permission, it is absolutely impossible to really enter the center of the army and see the real protagonist in the king's honor guard.
Not to mention, at this time, no matter what, Song Jie, the king of Qin, himself has calmed down a little, at least the earlier frustration and regret have indeed gradually faded a lot.
Moreover, the most important thing is that at this time, he seems to have more or less understood the other party's true intentions and good intentions.
According to his own secret reasoning and speculation along the way, he could even conclude that Zhao Xing, the pseudo-Chu king of the other party, should be the so-called one along the way with himself.
In other words, everyone doesn't want real brothers to kill each other, and they don't want to see the result of a river of blood.
What's more, he now seems to have read something in a certain sense, and it also confirms his earlier judgment, that is, this pseudo-Chu King Zhao Xing is definitely not really willing to rebel against the imperial court, but he is angry at the injustice of the imperial court, so he is angry.
Besides, all I saw and saw along the way was a thriving scene, and there was no imaginary situation of all the grass and trees and the rumors of the wind.
From this point of view, not to mention anything else, it's just that the people of their Chu land at the moment should not seem to be very disgusted with their current Chu king, and everything is no different from the life of the past.
From this alone, it can be seen that the current pseudo-Chu King Zhao Xing should not have experienced any corresponding turmoil at all, so he directly moved into the current Chu Wangfu and became the prince of Chu in the actual sense of their entire Chu land again.
Of course, Song Jie, the king of Qin, would never be so biased, in fact, as early as when he received the order of the imperial court and ordered him to send troops to quell the rebellion, he had already sent many secret agents, not only to the neighboring Chuxi County, but even to other Chu counties.
And it was precisely because of the summary of the news of those secret agents that he finally made the decision to run thousands of miles.
It's just that now, he himself has seen it all the way, which further confirms what those secret agents said, and the current pseudo-Chu King Zhao Xing is not what the imperial court will say.
In this way, they went smoothly all the way, and when they reached the fifth day, they arrived outside the southern capital of Chudi.
Perhaps, in order to temporarily conceal the true identity of Song Jie, the king of Qin, and his party, the current king of Chu, Zhao Xing, did not go out of the city to greet him with great fanfare, but went directly into the city overnight.
Without further ado, after entering the city, Qin King Song Jie and the others had just rested for a while, and the iron courage Chen Ping rushed to their apartment in person.
There was not even any superfluous politeness at all, and Chen Ping said straight to the point: "Lord Qiqi, my second master has already prepared wine and food in the inner hall of our Chu Palace, and I respectfully respect the prince, you have come over to enjoy the light." ”
Song Jie said: "Okay, I said Mr. Tie Guts, the matter has come to this point, and I will just wait as a guest and follow the host." ”
Chen Ping said: "Since the prince is so refreshing, then please clean up after a while, and then take General Liu and Lord Lu to the banquet together." ”
Song Jie said: "This is easy to say, then please wait for a while." ”
Chen Ping said: "In this way, Lord Wang, you are busy first, and my subordinates will go outside to wait for the time being." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Lord Wang, the second master of my family has specially ordered, saying that it is for everyone to meet frankly, so I will not invite Huo Dadaoke to accompany you to the banquet for the time being." ”
Song Jie said: "What's this, anyway, it's already here, so there's naturally no need to worry about the safety below." Since this is the case, then Huo Lao naturally doesn't need to stay an inch and guard him closely. ”
Chen Ping said: "In addition, my second master also made a special arrangement, saying that he would let General Wang Xin come to invite Huo Lao alone, and let them drink a few cups together." ”
Song Jie said: "In that case, then Huo Lao, you can do it yourself, just don't be greedy and make a fool of yourself, hehehe." ”
Huo Yidao said: "Obey the orders of the prince, and your subordinates will not fall into the name of our Qin Palace." ”
In this way, Chen Ping, who was brave enough to wait outside, waited for less than a quarter of an hour, and Song Jie, the king of Qin, came out with the general Liu Yansheng and the lord Bo Lu Zhaoming.
In other words, after arriving at the inner hall of the Chu Wangfu, I saw that there were only two people on the Chu Wangfu, Zhao Xing and Zhao Jia, and there was no one else.
Not only that, since entering the inner hall gate of the Chu Palace, this way through the second gate and the long corridor, and even to the main entrance of the inner hall, there is no personal guard, let alone those maids, attendants and other idle people.
In this way, it seems that today, Zhao Xing, the king of Chu, has really shown considerable sincerity.
Not to mention anything else, it's just the three-on-three counterpart of these two sides, which is enough to see Zhao Xing's good intentions.
On the side of their Chu Wangfu are Zhao Xing, the king of Chu, Chen Ping, the iron courage, and the general Zhao Jia, while on the side of the Qin Wangfu are Song Jie, the king of Qin, Lu Zhaoming, and the general Liu Yansheng.
Although, the identity of the current lord Bo Lu Zhaoming is far inferior to their Qin Wangfu's military advisor Yu Gan, and naturally it cannot be compared with the iron courage Chen Ping of the other party.
However, in terms of facts, in terms of today's actual situation, he Lu Zhaoming is indeed the most appropriate character setting.
After all, the civil officials around Song Jie, the king of Qin, are headed by him Lu Zhaoming, and he was present and participated in the previous Jiepai Pass incident.
At this time, I looked at the inner hall, and saw that a table of sumptuous and simple banquets had already been arranged, although the dishes were not so varied, but they were all famous dishes that could represent Chudi, and the dishes were full of color, flavor, and flavor.
In addition, the seating arrangement in the inner hall is also extremely special.
Originally, above this inner hall was the small meeting hall of their Chu Palace, which was generally used to deal with some important military and political affairs here, but the scope of ordinary participants was smaller, and the specifications were relatively high.
Let's put it this way, the civil and military who can generally attend the meeting in this inner hall are all close ministers and important ministers of their Chu Palace, and ordinary officials from all over the world can't easily enter this inner hall.
Originally, according to the general regulations, the layout of this inner hall was basically the same as the main hall of the palace, but the scale was too small and the specifications were relatively high.
Generally speaking, the position of the main seat facing north and south in the center is naturally the seat of the king of Chu, the head of the Chu Wangfu, and the two sides are the seats of civil and military affairs at all levels.
But today, in the inner hall, it is much simpler, except for the wine table in the center, there are only six Taishi chairs with backrests.
There is one at each end of the north and south sides, and two symmetrical on the east and west sides.
There is no need to ask, the one to the north must be the position of Zhao Xing, the king of Chu, the head of the family, and the position of Song Jie, the king of Qin, is naturally the position of the guest of honor, and the position of the four people on both sides is matching.
In this way, after a short greeting, everyone took their places. In the end, the iron courage Chen Ping and the general Zhao Jia sat in the two positions on the east side, and the main Bo Lu Zhaoming and the general Liu Yansheng sat in the west position.
After the six of them sat down, they only heard Zhao Xing take the lead in raising his wine glass, and said loudly to Song Jie, the king of Qin, who was at the top: "Today's love has to be a last resort, brother, I will use this way to invite the third brother Song and the two here." Therefore, I won't say more about those polite nonsense, I, Zhao Xingsan, respect you with three glasses of wine, which can be regarded as a little brother, and I will apologize to Brother Song and the two. ”
Speaking of which, he really respectfully picked up his wine glass.
Seeing him like this, King Song Jie of Qin smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Okay, the matter has come to this, then let's make three glasses in a row first, which can be regarded as living up to Brother Zhao's good intentions." ”
In this way, the six of them took their wine glasses and drank them all, and drank three glasses in a row.
In this way, you come and go, they really directly regard this place as an ordinary private gathering, everyone doesn't care about anything, and they eat and drink lively.
