Just as Zhu Yunwen was thinking, Liu Zhen at the door suddenly got some news, ran to Zhu Yunwen's side gently, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch!" ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

Zhu Yunwen looked back at the chiming clock on the wall, found that the time was almost up, and said in a low voice: "Are you ready?" ”

"Well, the lady arranged it herself."

"Okay!"

Zhu Yunwen stood up and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for lunch, I'm having a treat today, let's eat something first, and then discuss it after eating." ”

While speaking, Zhu Yunwen stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Lunch? Feasting?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily looked at Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen smiled, and gently spread his right hand: "Everyone, please!" ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, quickly got up, and followed the emperor out.

Liu Zhen smiled, walked a few steps quickly, followed Zhu Yunwen, and guided him.

Everyone walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, bypassed the corridor, and came to the side hall, where a group of palace maids and eunuchs stood at the door, and the leader was the lady concubine - Bai Fangrui.

I saw Bai Fangrui fluttering down and bowing: "The concubine participates in Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" The eunuchs and palace maids behind him knelt on the ground.

"Concubine, please get up!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled, picked up Bai Fangrui, raised his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Huang Zicheng and the others behind him turned over and knelt down: "The ministers see Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang!" ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled, pulled Bai Fangrui, turned around and said, "You guys really bow down, today's lunch is carefully prepared by Concubine Shu!" Everyone's blessed! ”

"Thank you, Lady Lady!"

"Alright, you guys are flat, just eating, come in!"

Everyone followed the emperor into the side hall, but they were stunned for a moment, which was completely different from the banquet that everyone imagined.

I saw a round table in the center of the main hall, on which there were more than ten bottles of wine, including wine in glass bottles and liquor in porcelain bottles, the wine bottles were all open, and the air was faintly filled with an intoxicating aroma of wine.

The round table is surrounded by more than ten square tables, some of which are equipped with trays and chopsticks, some of which have some side dishes, and some of which have some pastries; On the other tables were something like a low box with a shiny surface, and a lid on it, so that it was impossible to see what was inside; Most of the tables have some crockery.

Zhu Yunwen glanced back at everyone and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, what Concubine Shu has prepared for you today is a self-permitted meal, you don't have to be formal, you can be casual, but there is one rule, you are not allowed to drink too much." ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled, waved his hand, and then took a tray first, and under Bai Fangrui's prompting, walked to a table, picked up the lid, took a plate, put a little food in the plate, and then walked to the next table.

After a while, Zhu Yunwen took two dishes, a plate of side dishes, and two pastries, and returned to the top seat accompanied by Bai Fangrui.

When Zhu Yunwen was choosing dishes, everyone could only stand and watch, not daring to make any moves.

After the emperor finished choosing, it was the turn of Concubine Bai Fangrui to choose, of course Bai Fangrui would not end up by herself, she whispered a few words, and her personal palace maid eunuch immediately brought a few dishes for her.

After that, under Liu Zhen's instructions, everyone entered the restaurant in turn.

With Zhu Yunwen's demonstration, everyone also knew how to eat this buffet, Bai Fangrui thought very thoughtfully, and arranged for a beautiful palace maid to help everyone guide the selection of dishes, but these important ministers were like old monks, not squinting, just concentrating on choosing dishes.

The royal banquet, although the buffet mode was adopted, everyone still couldn't let go, lest they lose their honor in front of the king.

After noticing this, Zhu Yunwen frowned, his original intention was to make the atmosphere more lively, chatting, maybe he could find a suitable way with a flash of inspiration.

In fact, Zhu Yunwen himself had already thought of a solution, but he was unwilling to say it himself.

......

After a short time, Zhu Yunwen stood up and said, "Everyone, have a good meal, I have some things, and the meeting will continue in an hour!" ”

While speaking, Zhu Yunwen took Bai Fangrui and walked into the inner hall.

Everyone was stunned, and before they could thank him, the emperor was gone.

However, everyone quickly understood the reason, because the eunuch and the palace maid quickly came over and brought the emperor and the concubine's dinner plate in.

The emperor left, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively, and acquaintances gradually came together and chatted in a low voice......

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue the morning meeting, and we must discuss the results today!" Zhu Yunwen, who took a nap after lunch, said brightly.

Noticing the emperor's gaze, Song Sheng, Xu Huizu, and Wu Gao glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

At this point, there are ways to do it, but it's not very authentic.

Song Sheng was silent for a while, stood up, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers have already discussed, considering that Mongolia may go south, so at present, the Ming Dynasty can only use a small army to escort Chen Tianping back to Annam. ”

"In order to ensure the safety of Chen Tianping, the last general suggested that Chen Tianping be ordered to move the capital from Thanh Hoa to near the border in the name of the lord of Annam, so that our army could achieve the purpose of escorting Chen Tianping into Annam, and at the same time, because of its proximity to the border, it was convenient for our army to defend and at the same time convenient for our army to reinforce."

"Even if there is a case, our army can retreat to the territory of Daming, and Hu Hancang will not dare to catch up."

"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen smiled and said happily: "Old General Song is really scheming, this move is very good!" However, I have a question, where is the new capital of Annam? ”

Song Sheng pondered for a moment and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Annan borders my two political envoys of Guangxi and Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, but these borders are all sparsely populated, high mountains and dense forests, and they are not suitable for being the capital. ”

"Considering the naval superiority of the Ming Dynasty, the last general suggested that it would be better to choose a seaport close to Thang Long City in Annam."

"With the combat strength of our army, with the support of the navy, it should not be a problem to defend a seaport and repel the Hu attack."

"After that, things will be simple, Chen Tianping can gradually expand his strength, the Hu clan will definitely not sit still, and there will naturally be civil strife in Annan, and then it will ......"

Speaking of this, everyone had fully understood what Song Sheng meant, and they all thought about whether it was feasible, and soon everyone's eyes lit up......

The discussion at the subsequent meeting was very lively, and everyone spoke enthusiastically and put forward many constructive suggestions.

However, the content of this meeting was rarely discussed, even by the participants.

......

After the morning of the next day, Huang Zicheng led Chen Tianping and Pei Boqi to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor.

On the way, Chen Tianping asked a little timidly: "Lord Huang, will Your Majesty help us?" ”

"Yes, definitely!"

Huang Zicheng smiled and said: "I am the Heavenly Empire, and I have zero tolerance for usurpers like Hu Jiyak!" ”
