Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 100 The Feast of the Son of Heaven (4)

The little emperor forcibly let Patriarch Daoyan meet the princes' children, and this kind of thing passed in a giggle. It's just that now Mu Qiuhuang and Ji Yan didn't have the heart to get together to talk, so they had to bring a glass of wine to these officials in the hall to drink.

Now it is an indisputable fact that the Great You Empire is declining, and these hundred officials in the court are all human spirits, except for some foolish and loyal ministers, the rest are also beating their own wishful thinking in their hearts, and some far-sighted people may have secretly thrown themselves into other princes...... Dayou's laws and regulations clearly stipulate that "Zhu-Hou shall not have personal relations with bureaucrats when they enter Beijing, let alone offer bribes for personal gain." "Therefore, Mu Qiuhuang did not go to visit these court ministers some time ago, in fact, even if they went, these ministers were bound to avoid it, so as not to attract tongues, as can be seen from Ji Yan going to pay homage to Xiahou Xuanba and being rejected by him...... But now it's different, now it's the little emperor holding a banquet, and all interactions are carried out under the little emperor's nose, so he is not afraid of causing criticism again.

And so! After Mu Qiuhuang finished saluting the little emperor, the next first glass of wine went directly to Xiahou Wenyuan.

The reason why I didn't go to Xiahou Xuanba was because Ji Yan was one step ahead, and Ji Yan was toasting Xiahou Xuanba at the moment...... However, for Xiahou Wenyuan, Mu Qiuhuang is also quite interested.

Recalling the conversation between father and son on the eve of the martial arts ceremony, Mu Qiuhuang still remembers it vividly. At the beginning, Mu Qingen's evaluation of Xiahou Wenyuan was "to seek the pattern of the world in the court, and to change the situation in the field", which directly showed that Mu Qingen himself attached great importance to Xiahou Wenyuan, and even warned Mu Qiuhuang that if the Xiahou clan really had a plan to enter Beijing this time, the person in charge would definitely be Xiahou Wenyuan. After entering Kyoto, when Mu Qiuhuang went to the Taishi Mansion to pay homage to Situ Buqi, he also felt his jealousy of Xiahou Wenyuan from his words...... What kind of character is Situ Buqi? What kind of character is Mu Qingen? Since Xiahou Wenyuan can get the attention and jealousy of both of them at the same time, its terrifying degree is self-evident.

……

Mu Qiuhuang walked in front of Xiahou Wenyuan with a drink, and after a junior, he said respectfully: "I have heard the prestige of the Prime Minister for a long time, and it is a blessing to be able to see it today, so the kid dared to come to pay tribute to the Prime Minister." ”

Xiahou Wenyuan also stood up, and after carefully looking Mu Qiuhuang up and down, he suddenly burst out laughing.

It's just that Xiahou Wenyuan suddenly smiled, which made Mu Qiuhuang a little confused.

But soon, Xiahou Wenyuan smiled, patted Mu Qiuhuang on the shoulder, and praised: "The son of Muhou Ye's family is really a talent!" ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your compliment." Mu Qiuhuang smiled.

Xiahou Wenyuan nodded, and said with emotion: "When you accompanied the teacher to Beiyu, you were still babbling, and you didn't expect that more than ten years had passed in a flash?" Now that the teacher has passed away, and the children who used to babble have also come out, they can drink with me......"

Xiahou Wenyuan has been to Beiyu? Have you even seen yourself? How did you not know? Mu Qiuhuang was a little surprised when he heard Xiahou Wenyuan's words. But soon, Mu Qiuhuang figured it out, when he was babbling more than ten years ago, wasn't it the time when Emperor Longshuo gave marriage and the old lady Situ Changqing went to Beiyu to protect the media...... Yes, it must have been at that time that my father had seen this Xiahou Wenyuan, so he knew a lot about it.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang also said tentatively: "Father also often talks to the prime minister, and he doesn't hide it, and the kid also listens to his father's reputation for the prime minister...... My father also often said that if the prime minister could go to Beiyu again one day, it would be a great blessing for Beiyu. ”

"Oh?" Xiahou Wenyuan glanced at Mu Qiuhuang with deep meaning, and asked pretending to be normal: "How is Mu Hou Ye in recent years?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang also smiled slightly: "Thank you Prime Minister for your concern, my father is as good as ever." ”

"That's good, I often look forward to going to Beiyu again one day, so that I can make plum and cook wine with Mu Houye!" Xiahou Wenyuan's tone suddenly changed, and he pretended to regret and said: "It's just that now that you have the trust of Your Majesty and are in a heavy position, it is a little inconvenient to want to be as free and indulgent as before." ”

"It's okay, as long as the prime minister can go to Beiyu, no matter when he goes, I think my father will sweep the couch to greet him, and the kid will definitely look forward to it." Mu Qiuhuang said sincerely.

……

The two continued to chatter in the house, laughing a few times from time to time, and seemed to have a good conversation.

Mu Qiuhuang himself was trying his best to invite Xiahou Wenyuan to go to Beiyu, but Xiahou Wenyuan showed his yearning for Beiyu, but he refused to make it clear...... The words are tentative here, Mu Qiuhuang also knows that there will be no progress in chatting any longer, and now one thing is for sure, Xiahou Wenyuan really has the intention of choosing the master and serving. As for the next, it is nothing more than Xiahou Wenyuan wanting to sell at a price...... For these, Mu Qiuhuang was a little difficult to deal with, so he had to send a letter back to Beiyu first, waiting for his father Mu Qingen's choice.

Seeing that another hundred officials wanted to come to toast Xiahou Wenyuan, Mu Qiuhuang also slowly retired after drinking the wine in the cup.

……

Mu Qiuhuang glanced around, and found that Ximen Dingding, Wu Bi'an, Yun Xiao, Su Ruoyun and several of them were actually fighting wine there by themselves, seeing this scene, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile slightly, and completely lost interest in these people. looked to the side again, and found that although Situ Tianzhu and Liu Yiyong had the heart to make friends with hundreds of officials in the DPRK, they were helpless because the two of them were born as concubines, and this kind of identity could not attract the attention of the really important officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee.

At this time, the entire hall has become the home of him and Ji Yan, but it is normal to think about it, after all, the identities of the prince of Beiyu and the prince of Xilie are destined for him to inherit the throne in the future. Therefore, these officials also attached great importance to the two of them, and after leaving from Xiahou Wenyuan's table, there were almost seven or eight officials who came to Mu Qiuhuang for a drink, and many of them were those officials who were introduced to him by Seasonal Fox Jie when they entered the scene...... For these people, Mu Qiuhuang treats them equally, respects them well, and talks with them very happily.

However, this is the end of the thought.

Mu Qiuhuang has a new understanding of the reality of this world.

……

Seeing that Xiahou Xuanba's desk was empty, Mu Qiuhuang's heart also moved, remembering the smell of blood he had just smelled.

"I have heard the prestige of the general of the town for a long time, and when I see it today, it is better than the rumors...... The boy dared to come and toast the general with a glass of wine. Mu Qiuhuang held the wine glass and bent down to salute.

"Mu Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, come, you and I will drink this cup full." After Xiahou Xuanba glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, he didn't get up, but picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

At this time, after getting closer to Xiahou Xuanba, the smell of blood was even more obvious to Yu Mu Qiuhuang.

"There are a lot of generals, and the kid admires them." Mu Qiuhuang also picked up the wine in his cup and drank it all.

"Good boy." After Xiahou Xuanba praised him, he continued: "Do you dare to drink ten more cups with General Ben?" ”

When Xiahou Xuanba said this, Mu Qiuhuang also noticed the empty wine jar on Xiahou Xuanba's table.

"Why did he drink so much, wasn't he hurt? No, what did he think of, so he was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows? But ......" Mu Qiuhuang had some doubts in his heart, but they were getting bigger and bigger.

"Why don't you dare?"

Mu Qiuhuang continued: "It's an honor for the kid to be able to drink with the general, don't say that if you drink ten more wines, you will drink ten more jars of wine, and the kid is not afraid of ...... at all."

"Haha...... Good boy, appetite for me. Xiahou Xuanba laughed.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang also picked up the wine jar on the table and poured wine into the empty wine cup of Xiahou Xuanba and himself.

"Kid drink first for respect." After Mu Qiuhuang finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

"Good boy, the old man has finished drinking." Xiahou Xuanba held his wine cup and said to Mu Qiuhuang.

……

Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang and Xiahou Xuanba pushed the cup to change the cup and put together the wine, attracting everyone's attention, the little emperor also interjected: "Mu Qiuhuang, the general is the invincible god of war of my great darkness, and no one can be the enemy of the general on the battlefield, but the wine table is ...... It's a pity that I'm not good at drinking, otherwise I'd have had a good argument with the general at this wine table, and if you can win the general at the wine table today, I will reward you heavily. ”

Seeing that the little emperor added color, the others also echoed it.

Mu Qiuhuang was too lazy to take care of them, and after drinking ten wines with Xiahou Xuanba, he stopped, and pretended to be drunk at the little emperor: "Weichen can't do it, Weichen can't drink the general, Weichen has the trust of His Majesty, it seems that the general is not only the undefeated god of war on the battlefield, but also at this wine table!" ”

Xiahou Xuanba couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Mu Qiuhuang was stopping.

The little emperor didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "Okay! It seems that my great general is truly unparalleled...... Ladies and gentlemen, I will toast the general with me. ”

"The old minister is terrified, how dare he be toasted by His Majesty?" Xiahou Xuanba said to the little emperor.

The little emperor continued with his wine: "Don't shirk the general, you can fully afford this glass of wine. I did it first for respect. ”

Seeing that the little emperor had finished drinking, the other officials also hurriedly drank it all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the old minister is grateful and speechless......" Xiahou Xuanba thanked again.

……

……

The central idea of the banquet is the word "eat, drink and have fun", and since you have eaten and drunk enough, then you will naturally not escape the word "fun".

Seeing that it was still early when I saw the distance, the two programs of martial arts and fireworks had to wait a little longer...... So, the little emperor summoned people to come in and began to perform songs and dances in the main hall.

Just looking at the musicians and dancers performing songs and dances, Mu Qiuhuang was suddenly shocked in his heart, because this group of people Mu Qiuhuang had seen it, and he had seen it more than once.

Red Sleeve Move!

This group of dancers and musicians turned out to be people in the red sleeves!
