July 11 of the fifteenth year of the Duke of Qi (the tenth year of the Marquis of Wei), Linzi Qi Palace.

Today is a big day for all the dignitaries in Linzi, and it can't even compare to the five-day court meeting, because today the monarch will invite all the ministers to a banquet in the palace.

The invitees were all the current rulers of the Qi State, but their positions of power were all given by the monarch, so these people were very active in Tian Yuwen's invitation.

The banquet invited not only the officials and ministers themselves, but also their families, so the number of people entering the palace today can be described as vast.

As the initiator of the banquet, Tian Yuwen was dressed in armor and waited quietly in the dormitory, and the person with the highest status was always the last to appear.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Hao is waiting outside, it seems that there is something to report?" At this time, there was a report that the chamberlain had entered the main hall.

Tian Yuwen said: "Let him in!" ”

After a while, Zhang Hao was brought in, and the letter sent five days ago scared him a lot, and he was still worried about entering this hall until now.

"What's the matter?" Tian Yuwen asked directly.

Zhang Hao didn't talk nonsense, only to see him bow and say: "Back to the king, yesterday the minister received a message from the guards at the south gate, saying that there are always suspicious people wandering around recently, and the minister is here to ask the king for advice, did he temporarily send other spies?" ”

The guards at the South Gate in Zhang Hao's mouth are the secret guards under his command who monitor the South Gate of Linzi, and they have found some abnormalities in the past few days.

As soon as he heard this, Tian Yuwen became alert, and he asked Zhang Hao to send someone to monitor, and now he really saw something.

So Tian Yuwen immediately said: "Check ...... Get out those who have bad intentions! ”

Hearing what the monarch said, Zhang Hao knew what he should do, so he replied: "Don't worry, the ministers will arrest these chaotic parties as soon as possible!" ”

As long as it is not another person sent by the monarch, Zhang Hao is eighty percent sure that this matter has nothing to do with the Wei people.

In every war with the Wei State, the actions of the Wei State Wind Shadow Division are indispensable, such as the civil strife in Lu in the past few months.

"This matter is inseparable from the people of Wei!" Tian Yuwen muttered.

Putting the monarch the same as himself, Zhang Hao was also urgent at this time, and he must not let the conspiracy of the Wei people succeed.

Afterwards, Zhang Hao said goodbye to Tian Yuwen, and then withdrew from the hall to work.

In the hall, Tian Yuwen's heart was churning, and the incident of the Wei people at this time made his mood much worse.

After a while, an attendant entered the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the hour has come, and the courtiers are waiting for you!" ”

Tian Yuwen breathed a long sigh of relief, then picked up the saber that was placed aside, stood up and walked outside the hall.

The place where the banquet was set up was arranged in a separate courtyard in the Wei Palace, and at this time the tables had been set up in the garden, and the generals and ministers who went to the banquet were also seated in civil and military ranks.

When Tian Yuwen appeared at the door of the courtyard, all the courtiers present stood up and bowed to the door.

"Zhuqing has come so early, it seems that he has been waiting for this meal for a long time!" Tian Yuwen said with a smile.

I have to say that Tian Yuwen's opening remarks were beyond the expectations of the ministers, they didn't expect that the monarch would have time to joke at this time.

Tian Yuwen walked into the garden, and the ministers did not dare to slack off in etiquette, and their bodies turned with the pace of the monarch.

After Tian Yuwen sat down, he spoke: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, there is no need to be restrained today, it is just a palace banquet and not a court!" ”

The ministers sat down as they were told, but they would not be able to say that they were completely relaxed, and the courtesy of the kings and ministers was an iron rule at all times.

"Let you come today, it is also a reward for your perseverance in the past few months, and the next defense of Linzi will also depend on you!" Tian Yuwen went straight to the road.

At this time, there is no need to play any tricks, Tian Yuwen said this sincerely, and then listened to him add: "Of course, letting you go to the banquet today is also to let you relax, the bowstring will break if it is tight!" ”

"So, today there is not only delicious food and wine, but also well-prepared singing and dancing music!"

The monarch has such a good intention, how can the ministers below not be reasonable, and someone immediately stood up and said: "The king loves his subordinates, and the ministers are grateful!" ”

Good guy, for a while, there was a lot of noise in the park, and the courtiers praised Tian Yuwen as a holy monarch.

Tian Yuwen didn't care about this, because they were like this

Without waiting for Tian Yuwen's orders, at this time, there were already waiters with fine wine and dishes at the table, and the banquet could be regarded as the real start here.

When everyone was full of wine, Tian Yuwen first raised his glass, and then said: "Although it is an ordinary palace banquet, the widow also wishes here that the battle of Linzi will be won!" ”

This is absolutely politically correct, and the ministers below raised their glasses and shouted at the same time: "Daqi will win!" The king will win! ”

Then the kings and ministers drank it all, and the first glass of wine was drunk.

Tian Yuwen himself didn't drink very well, so the second glass of wine didn't come closely.

Now that the Wei army is besieging the city, of course, the wine can be drunk less, and no one will be drunk at this banquet.

Tian Yuwen said that he wanted to let the ministers relax and enjoy, so soon there were songs and dances, and the atmosphere in the garden suddenly became lively.

Although everyone here has dance and music in the house, due to the tense situation, they have not had a banquet and dance for several months, so it is natural that they should have fun today.

And Tian Yuwen talked to the generals and ministers who were closer, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the war.

Regardless of the rationing of food, grass and ordnance, the deployment of the army, and the mobilization and support of various departments...... It all needs to be carefully planned.

There is no doubt that the person who is now discussing state affairs with Tian Yuwen is the real decision-maker of Qi State.

Singing and dancing are rising here, and in the Ning place of the Qi Palace, the female dependents also gathered together, talking and laughing under the auspices of Zhuge Ling

Anyway, the atmosphere in Qi Palace today is not bad.

But outside the palace walls, Zhang Hao and his men are not like this, and an interrogation is underway.

When Zhang Hao left Tian Yuwen, he issued an order to arrest him, and soon controlled those suspicious people, and the rest depended on what results could be tried.

Because this matter is very important, Zhang Hao himself was present and personally supervised the case.

A total of three people were arrested, and each of them was extremely miserable at this time, covered in blood, and vomited blood from time to time in his mouth.

In order to prevent these people from committing suicide, their punishment at the beginning was to extract their teeth, and under Zhang Hao's instructions, each of them had their teeth pulled out alive.

The pain can be imagined, and it was not until the teeth were pulled out that Zhang Hao sent someone to interrogate.

The first question is to confirm the identity of these people, after which they are asked about their intentions.

There are people with hard bones, but the degree of hardness is different, and after several tosses under Zhang Hao's men, someone finally spoke.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhang Hao was very shocked, and only heard him ask: "Are you sure that it is someone sent by the Zhou family?" ”

"My lord, these three people were all detained and interrogated separately, and in the end they all said that they were appointed by the Zhou family, so there should be no mistake!"

Zhang Hao nodded, he also believed in his subordinates, but he still didn't expect the Zhou family to be so bold.

So he asked, "What do they want to do at the south gate?" ”

The person who reported said: "My lord, these people are just eyeliners sent by the Zhou family, and they don't know what the Zhou family wants to do!" ”

Zhang Hao's eyes widened, and then he scolded: "Then what are you still doing in a daze?" Torture Lao Tzu! ”

After his subordinates left, Zhang Hao also stood up, knowing that he couldn't wait here.

The Zhou family must have bad intentions, and must report the matter to the monarch, and at the same time inform the defenders of Linzi to strengthen their vigilance.

In Zhang Hao's heart, he had already sentenced the Zhou family to death at this time.
