Although the blood on the dinner table is splashed with blood, it is also a sword and sword, open guns and hidden arrows, and the two factions in the palace have taken the opportunity of eating to intrigue for so long, everyone patronized and talked, and they didn't eat a few bites of food, and when they were finally tired of talking and planning to eat, they found that a table of wine and food was already cold.

The prince saw that the ministers finally shut up, and naturally did not want them to quarrel again, as soon as he found that the fire was cold, the most annoyed was the prince, and the prince directly angered the eunuch who was waiting beside him, and ordered him to remove the dish and redo it. It's just that the prince's order was stopped by Zhang Mingyue, who stopped the prince's order to redo it on the grounds of serious famine, and he proposed to reheat the table and eat it again, and everything was in danger of frugality.

Zhang Mingyue's words were naturally obeyed by the prince, and the other people present had no opinions, and after the old dishes were put on new plates and re-served, everyone finally began to drink and eat to the fullest, and people temporarily forgot their respective factional backgrounds, and all kinds of troubles that pressed on their shoulders seemed to flow away with the wine that slid down their throats.

With so many ministers accompanied, the prince drank very happily, the prince not only drank himself, but also pulled King De to drink together, King De was frightened by the prince's guard of honor when he entered the door, and he actually accompanied the prince to eat wine throughout the luncheon, which was very customary.

A luncheon was eaten for two hours without danger, and it was already afternoon when he was full of wine and food, and the prince was drunk and hazy, and he babbled and instructed others from time to time mixed with half a crazy sentence. Seeing this, Zhang Mingyue instructed the eunuch who was serving the prince:

"Your Highness is already drunk, you can help Your Highness go back to the back to rest."

Anyone who has ever seen a drunk knows that the most taboo thing when a person is drunk is that others say that he is drunk, the prince is cautious on weekdays, and it is rare to get drunk today, so he naturally wants to do something out of the ordinary, as soon as he heard Zhang Mingyue say that he was drunk, he immediately choked and said:

"Who said I was drunk? Who said I was drunk? I know best whether I am drunk or not, and I still use others to determine whether I am drunk or not? ”

Zhang Mingyue saw that the prince was drunk, and he was not as outspoken as before, he just smiled and persuaded:

"Your Royal Highness, today's feast, benefit the world, according to the emperor's intentions, there is no curfew tonight, when it comes to You, Your Highness, you still have to go to the Lide Gate to take care of the people on the street, now it is not a few hours before the Youshi, you are also tired, go back to take a nap and go out at the time of Youyou."

When the prince heard Zhang Mingyue's words, he staggered and stood up directly from his seat, and he said:

"Zhang Shoufu, what are these words? There has always been a person who has eaten to his heart's content, when has there ever been a person who is tired from eating? If I am tired of eating, then the people who have suffered from the disaster in the Taisho world will not even have to eat, how will they be tired? ”

The whole banquet had been sitting silently, and Li Chenghai, who had not said a word, heard the prince's words, and said coldly:

"What His Royal Highness said is very true, the world is nearly a year old, the people's hearts are unstable, fortunately, God bless the Dazheng, the disaster is gradually reduced, and now is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a good time to dispel evil spirits, if you have to have fun with the people, you can make a good start for next year's harvest, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness should go out of the palace to patrol the streets, spread the holy grace!"

The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, the prince has always been cautious in the East Palace, walking on thin ice, afraid that he would not be pleasing to be abolished by the emperor one day, and he had a hard time every day.

"Zhong Aiqing, come and come, get up with me, today's Mid-Autumn Festival is happy, I will go to the street together to have fun with the people!"

The prince naturally didn't allow Zhang Mingyue to do this, and Zhang Mingyue couldn't care about coaxing the prince to be happy, he hurriedly got up and stopped the prince and said:

"Your Royal Highness, you can't do it, as Your Highness, you have to carefully inspect the streets when you leave the palace on weekdays, and spread your ears and eyes to ensure completeness, there are many people on the street today, and there is no arrangement to patrol the street before, and it is difficult to arrange manpower in a hurry, what if there are bad people on the street at this time?"

Li Chenghai sneered when he heard this:

"Zhang Zhongtang said this, it is inevitable to spend the belly of the villain with the heart of a gentleman, and it is still difficult for the people of Li to ask for a full meal, how can they have the leisure time to plot to kill His Highness? If there was no arrangement before, naturally no one would know that His Highness would go to the street, let alone the people outside

Knowing this, when the gangsters are ready, His Highness's next round of street patrols will be completed, and they will not be given the opportunity to do evil at all, this can be said to be foolproof, what is there to fear about Zhang Shoufu? ”

Zhang Mingyue was annoyed by Li Chenghai, he turned his face to stare at Li Chenghai and asked:

"There has never been a practice of Mid-Autumn Festival parades, and the previous emperors have never had it, but Li Zhongtang wants to do a good job, in the name of the prince's body for a while, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

Li Chenghai refuted Zhang Mingyue and said:

"How can we be happy with the people? Didn't Zhang Zhongtang see the people who were tired and hungry and were killed? If the prince is not allowed to go to the street to stabilize people's hearts, the people's hearts will change a little, can the adults in Zhongtang afford it? ”

Zhang Mingyue sneered:

"I am the head of the court, all the big and small things in the world are voted by me to draw up a strategy, and then implement, the small and big responsibilities are all on my shoulders, not to mention this bit of panic, even when the thieves are in chaos, I also bear it! On the contrary, it is Li Zhongtang, the day before yesterday, he recommended He Wenyu to lead the troops to the battle, but the demon thief did not catch one, and the prison army died a lot, your crime of dereliction of duty has not been punished, and today you want to bewitch His Highness, I want to ask Li Zhongtang, what do you think? ”

Li Chenghai was choked by Zhang Mingyue's sharp words, and his old face turned red and white, and Father-in-law Yu was also involved in Zhang Mingyue's words, so he had to think about which Minister of Military Aircraft should be killed. However, Li Chenghai quickly gave Father-in-law Yu's answer, and only listened to him:

"The prison army was victimized by the deputy general Li Guangzhong, what does it have to do with He Wenyu? Zhang Zhongtang is so far-fetched, but it is untrue. ”

As soon as Li Chenghai's words came out, Father-in-law Yu couldn't sit still, Li Guangzhong was the person he recommended, originally his father-in-law Yu was troubled because of the killing of those Taichengwei, and he just fought for a showdown with Zhang Mingyue to suppress the matter, and now Li Chenghai brought up this again, how could Father-in-law Yu still bear it, he immediately said:

"Li Zhongtang, you and I sent the prison army to the army, and we also sent it to his He Wenyu's account, where did he He Wenyu send people to do Li Guangzhong's business? I think Li Zhongtang is too old and confused, right? ”

Then Father-in-law Yu turned his face to the prince and asked:

"Your Highness, the old slave thinks that there are many people on the street, and the recent lack of strict access control, there are a lot of homeless people entering the city, and there are repeated riots in the streets, and it is very inappropriate to go to the street at this time! His Royal Highness should follow the advice of Lord Shousuke, take a short rest in the palace first, and it is the best policy to go to the city at the time of the unitary. ”

Li Chenghai also reacted that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late, no matter what he would say, it was impossible for Father-in-law Yu to stand on his side again, so he had to break the jar and say:

"Your Highness, you are the prince of Taisho, and you should have the final say in the affairs of the palace! With His Royal Highness Chrysostom, how can he return as soon as the jade words come out? There are tens of thousands of guards in the city of Beijing, the captain of the city gate, and there are also 10,000 people in the two counties. Why should His Highness be ruled by others, and he can't even buy the palace gate? ”

The prince took advantage of a little bit of wine to be fluttering, and the previous caution was all suppressed by the wine, and all that remained in his mind was the bitterness that could not be exerted, and at this time he was stimulated by Li Chenghai's evil words, and he was angry, only to hear the prince say:

"I have made up my mind, I will go out of the palace to patrol the streets now, whoever dares to stop it will be disobedient! Come on, change clothes! ”
