Chapter 573: The Feast Begins

Although Lu Sanlang was itching to know what his words were, and whether it would be as difficult to hear as his father Lu Juan's name Lu Zhu, since Zhang Shou was selling Guanzi, he couldn't help it at all. After all, compared to letting his unreliable father take it, he can still trust Zhang Shou to some extent.

And the day before his crowning day, the first feast of the Mandarin Hall began in early October. Because it was the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, after the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting, a group of civil and military officials designated by the emperor in advance had gathered in the Wenhua Palace. In addition, the princes and princesses, the children of the clan and the nobles and eunuchs filled the Wenhua Palace.

Although Taizu Zuxun has been left behind many times, but today's occasion, it still plays a corresponding role to some extent, because a gauze curtain separates men and women, and the princesses and princesses, as well as those who have always traveled to and from Qingning Palace, so they are quite popular with the queen mother, and the daughters of the eunuchs have also been able to enter this place.

For example, Zhu Ying is sitting on the left hand side with a handkerchief handed over to Liu Qing, and on the right hand side is sitting Princess Deyang. Behind him were the other two county lords. The initial seat naturally couldn't be so indiscriminate, allowing her to sit together with the princess and the daughters of the princess, but no one could help the maverick of the eldest lady. Who made the Queen Mother not open her mouth to drink?

In addition, Princess Yongping saw that the Queen Mother was silent, and she who was originally next to Princess Deyang simply gave up her seat to Liu Qing, which allowed the two to sit together, and she herself was changed to the two county lords.

In this regard, although the others were envious, jealous and hateful, no one dared to say anything, so they could only watch Zhu Ying and Liu Qing pull over and sit among the princesses and the clan daughters and whisper and laugh.

As for peeking at whether there are any talented and beautiful talents outside the curtain, it is also good to achieve marriage......

It is not a thin and translucent light yarn such as the plain weave Bozhou light appearance, but the kind that is full of weight and is used to make a gauze robe.

There was once a woman who chose a son-in-law through a window screen, and she chose a guy who was extremely upright and straight, but his appearance was so ugly that he couldn't bear to see. So much so that when talking about marriage and marriage, most of the eunuchs are no longer looking at Xiao Lang through the screen window, but the unmarried woman brings the girl, the man brings the entourage, and the two groups of people see each other generously, so as not to achieve resentment.

In addition, most of the unmarried daughters who are here today either have a marriage contract or are involuntary in marriage, even if they see the best young talents, they can only be sad - of course, the bigger reason is that most of them are also famous people, so the girls are occasionally distracted to listen to the movements outside, and they are really not very interested in seeing people.

Just like the girls need to show rules and manners in front of the Queen Mother, even Zhu Ying is at most just whispering to others, and most of the children of the official eunuchs outside are quite reserved, after all, here today are the court bigwigs who have entered the high-ranking official sequence above the fourth grade, and no one wants to be considered unstable.

If you want to say that the person who has a completely indifferent attitude is not Zhu Tingfang, who has just taken over the Nancheng Terracotta Division and has never cared much about the future of fame - Zhu Dagongzi is sitting like a clock, and that sitting posture has attracted many officials to nod and praise, although many people are helpless when they see that cold face - but the disciples led by Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang, who are planning how to cheer for Zhang Shou at this time.

They usually hate this kind of occasion the most, but today it is their own teachers who will give a lecture, and of course everyone attaches importance to them.

In the past, Zhang Chen was the leader of the gentlemen, but now although Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are already ironclad quasi-concubines and quasi-guest guests, they have not set up their own doors, and as usual, only Zhang Chen is the head of the horse, but Lu Sanlang has become another mountain.

He used his abundant financial resources to successfully attract a group of fathers who don't love their mothers, known as gentlemen, but in fact they are poor ghosts. At this moment, he said as if no one was around: "When you go back to the teacher's lecture, you listen to my instructions, when you should slap your palms and applaud, then be uniform, and when you should be quiet, then don't make a sound at all." As for those guys who pick bones in eggs, hehe, don't let them go! ”

Although the little fat man's shout was not very loud, he did not hide it, and it suddenly attracted a lot of people's side glances, and even Zhang Chen couldn't help but stare at people, and then warned in a low voice: "Hey, don't make trouble for the teacher!" ”

"Am I in trouble?" Lu Sanlang's eyes showed a fierce light, and he looked at Zhang Chen without fear, "If someone else provokes first, can I be blamed?" When I don't know who said what I said that I didn't have hair on my mouth and couldn't do things firmly, and I was holding that I wasn't married yet, and I hadn't been crowned yet, and I was muttering nonsense there! Hmph, a lot of old but only know how to squirt screaming dogs, what practical things have you done? ”

"I, Lu Sanlang, at least conscientiously led a group of classmates, dug out a group of insatiable rats, and unlocked the helpless Taizu secret box of my predecessors! Even the ciphertext that has been reinstated in the army now has a contribution from me, the first chief of Jiuzhangtang! ”

Even Lu Xuan, at this moment, couldn't help but be so angry by the words of the young son who almost made enemies on all sides and opened fire in an all-round way that his nose was almost crooked. Tomorrow is Lu Sanlang's coronation ceremony, being so troubled by this dead little fat man, will he not even dare to come to some relatives and friends when he turns around? Could it be that the family is surrounded by some people's protΓ©gΓ©s?

There must be a limit to offending people, and listening to Lu Sanlang's adjective between the lines, the one who is scared is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this is really a teacher and an apprentice, and a newborn calf like Zhang Shou is not afraid of tigers!

The more Lu Juan thought about it, the more he felt a headache, but because of the emperor's appointment, he was among the ranks of those high-ranking officials in the ministries and courts, and he was really a little far away from the big fat son.

And what he didn't expect was that Ge Yong, who was originally sitting at the forefront of the civil and military officials, didn't know if his ears were too good to hear Lu Sanlang's noise, or if he had already discussed this with his apprentices, so he actually laughed.

"Young people are so good, full of vigor and high spirits, much better than those old guys who are dying old but still can't get in love, and don't even look down on young people!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the cabinet looked calm. Not to mention the Confucian scholars, even Wu Gelao, who is actually the oldest in qualifications, is actually just over fifty. Even at the level of the six Shangshu Shilang, there are not many who are particularly old. And the imperial history and the people in the affairs of the Imperial Procuratorate and the Six Branch Corridor also reacted mediocrely, because Taizu instructed that the age of the grassroots officials should not exceed forty-five years old.

And the biggest reaction is that a certain deputy capital imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really old. But he was so angry that he wanted to stiffen Ge Yong, trying to paint a reputation on this old lady who was not afraid of power, but who would have thought that Ge Yong would suddenly yawn directly.

I just heard the old lady say lazily: "If you don't get married, you can't take on important responsibilities, and I don't know what kind of crooked reasoning it is...... Haven't you heard Huo Quzhi's famous sentence that the Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home? ”

"Huo Quai's meritorious deeds did not marry a wife, it is actually a pity to say, in contrast, there are still some people who are old but do not cultivate, sixty-five or sixteen-year-old people, and their grandchildren are already fifteen or sixteen, and they actually have a new fifteen-year-old concubine, tsk, this is really a good story."

Although the banquet was supposed to be a very solemn occasion, since the emperor did not attach much importance to this matter, over the years, the Wenhua Hall before the banquet has never been quiet. Because after the officials of Honglu Temple, who corrected the etiquette (including the Son of Heaven) at the court meeting, were forcefully invited out of the Wenhua Hall by the emperor, the confrontation between the various directions before the feast became a reserved repertoire.

And Old Master Ge's sudden cannon shot made the originally slightly noisy Wenhua Hall instantly quiet. Although most people were a little dazed and didn't know who Ge Yong was talking about, with Lu Sanlang's hehey laugh and Zhang Chen's sudden realization that this was the case, those in the know were afraid that the world would spread the news they knew.

One to ten, ten to hundred, a certain pair of imperial history of a pear flower pressed begonia, suddenly became a well-known secret. Although this kind of petty interest in private life is just gossip behind other people's backs most of the time, many people remember that among the people who opposed Zhang Shou as a lecturer in the East Palace before, this deputy capital Yushi is indeed the most intense.

So, Zhu Ying, who was still talking and laughing with Princess Deyang just now, couldn't help but sneer: "Only the old are allowed to take concubines, and young people are not allowed to be single, this is really a big joke in the world!" ”

What kind of person is Zhu Ying, how crisp and loud this voice is, and the hall is quite quiet at this moment, it is the same as what Ge Yong said just now, and people from all directions heard it in an instant.

Lu Sanlang hurriedly followed behind and shook his head and said: "I have only heard that only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps. ”

Just when the deputy capital Yushi was so angry that he was about to fight back immediately, he only heard a quiet whip from outside, followed by a Su word. Although the complicated rituals of the sutra feast were all moved to the previous court meeting with a wave of the emperor's hand, of course, all the etiquette that should be done at this time could not be reduced.

Therefore, not only did the deputy capital Yushi quickly shut up, but the people who had just sat down also hurriedly stood up and stood solemnly to greet each other, and then saw a group of people coming in from outside, and the Son of Heaven walked in front of him leisurely, as if this was on the street.

And behind him, he saw that none of the four princes were complete, even the eldest prince and the second prince, who had not appeared in front of anyone in the past few months, were all close behind the emperor. However, compared with the bright crown clothes of the third prince and the fourth prince, neither of them wore the crown clothes of the prince, especially the eldest prince, whose brown clothes were extremely conspicuous in the vermilion purple of this court.

Before the people who were closed to the news thought about what this scene represented, they saw that the emperor who walked to the throne in the middle and sat down slightly bowed his head, followed by the eldest prince and the second prince, and there were two more powerful chamberlains on each side.

Immediately, these two princes, who were haggard and no longer saw the high-flying and domineering princes of the past, were called escorts, and they were actually sent to their respective seats as if they were escorts. Their seats are impressively located under a group of ministers, not only away from those officials and eunuchs, but also away from the famous scholars and Confucians.

Thinking back to the time when the feast was in the past, these two princes did not pull all of them at one time, although there was no seat at that time, but they stood on the emperor's side, which naturally highlighted their status as older and princes. Now it's not what it used to be, and I don't know how many people look at this scene and sigh in their hearts.

And at this moment, there is only one third prince left by the emperor to serve by his side.

As for the four princes, he slipped under everyone's noses to the queen mother's female dependents separated by the curtain. Although the seven-year-old is not at the same table, however, the fourth prince went to the queen mother to peel oranges and serve with a smile on his face, and did not mix with the girls, who can say that he is not? And the Queen Mother knows that this little guy's big heart will certainly not drive people away.

Obviously, the fourth prince did not want to share the attention of others on the third prince, the future crown prince, by the emperor's side, nor did he want to mix with the eldest prince and the second prince, and he was not willing to go to the original seat alone for a long time for a feast.

She was about to call Zhu Ying to come over and take the four princes away, but suddenly she heard the emperor cough: "Today is the first day of the feast." The sutra feast is not unique to our dynasty, but from the beginning to the present, most of the old tunes have been repeated over the years, although it can be said that it is a review of the old and the new, but there is nothing new in the end. Today's feast, first invite my teacher, Master Ge, to talk about the scriptures. ”

The civil and military officials below were waiting for the emperor to call Zhang Shou out directly, and then they were lucky to pick a thorn before and after the event, but they didn't expect that as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he directly picked up Ge Yong, who was the emperor's master and had already been in the official residence of the first-class master!

Even if he had been sarcastically ridiculed by Ge Yong in public before, and his lungs were about to explode at this time, no matter how pale his face was, he couldn't say anything about this arrangement. After all, whether it is from the perspective of estrangement from the emperor, or in the esteemed position in the court and scholars, it is normal to say that Ge Yong is the number one person in the dynasty to get rid of the emperor.

However, if Ge Yong talks about those scriptures, forget it, people actually talk about scriptures? Looking at this huge Wenhua Palace, how many people can understand?

At this moment, if you want to say that the person who is really in good spirits, except for the three princes, I am afraid that there is only the round Lu Saburo. The little fat man sat up straight almost instantly, and he was about to wave the flag and shout a few words for his grandfather, but he didn't expect to be named directly by the emperor.

"Lu Jia Saburo, you wait for Master Ge to sit over there and talk, serve tea and water, and other work, I will hand it over to you!"

Although the emperor only instructed himself to do chores, Lu Sanlang was still extremely happy, he got up without thinking, trotted to Ge Yong's side, and helped this ancestor with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he carefully helped Ge Yong all the way to sit behind the podium, Lu Juan looked at it and was not pleasing to the eye. He, the old man, has never enjoyed such a son's service!

At this time, he took the monk fruit tea sent by the little fat man, and said slowly: "Since the emperor asked me to talk about the scriptures today, then I will tell you about the knowledge ...... in the latest volumes of "New Edition of Arithmetic"" Although he was embarrassed to put the word Ge directly on his lips, he said that these people were not a problem!
