Chapter 441: The Banquet

The next day, Xiao Mu invited the nobles of the capital row headed by the British Duke Zhang Weixian and Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen to the palace as guests, and they "shared the friendship of the monarch and the minister", of course, in fact, Xiao Mu basically has no friendship with these princes and marquis, after all, he is a traverser, and these local nobles of the Ming Dynasty have no relationship with the original eight poles, and even if there is no crossing, even if the original Chongzhen Emperor, there should not be too deep feelings for this prince and the marquis. After all, more than 200 years have passed since their ancestors fought bloody battles together. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Obviously, Xiao Mu invited these nobles who have no intersection and feelings at all on weekdays for his money-making plan, but after all, a high-sounding reason is still very necessary, and it can't be said that the labor master invited you here specifically to reward you with two playthings - even if Xiao Mu attaches great importance to cards and mahjong, these two things are indeed very urgently needed by these princes and princes, but on the surface, cards and mahjong are naturally two insignificant gadgets, Xiao Mu only needs to be "handy." The land is given to them at will, and although they have to respectfully receive the reward, they will never show great ecstasy for the sake of these two "playthings", otherwise they will definitely be ridiculed by others.

In fact, Xiao Mu and these princes and princes did exactly this, after leading these nobles to walk around the imperial garden twice, fully enjoying the "beautiful scenery" in the garden, and passing a lot of time - in fact, this walk in the imperial garden was purely for the sake of walking, and it was completely used to pass the time, because in addition, Xiao Mu couldn't think of anything else to arrange for these nobles to do.

After taking a walk, Xiao Mu took the lead in praising the "beautiful scenery" in front of him, and then all the noble princes naturally followed the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke under the leadership of the Duke of England and Chengguo, and praised the scenery in the imperial garden - in fact, Xiao Mu did not feel that the scenery in this garden was anything to look at, after all, it was already past the Mid-Autumn Festival, although it was the time when the "Autumn Tiger" was raging, and the weather was still a little hot, but there was nothing to see in this garden, and it would not take a few days for the grass and trees to wither. And those noble princes naturally didn't think from the bottom of their hearts how beautiful the scenery in front of them was, but after all, the emperor had already expressed his position, and they naturally didn't want to disobey the emperor's will on such an insignificant issue, so they searched their stomachs to find some words to describe the beautiful scenery to respond.

After seeing the "beautiful scenery" in the imperial garden, after successfully passing away a lot of time, the rest of the things are very easy to do, since it is a "common narrative of the friendship between the monarch and the minister", then as the emperor Xiao Mu naturally wants to set up a banquet to entertain all the noble princes, this meal is eaten, basically you can consume a lot of time, after the banquet is over, the meeting between the monarch and the minister can almost end, everyone can go back to their respective homes.

When it was time to eat, Xiao Mu naturally praised the heroic deeds of the ancestors of the princes present, saying that without their bloody battles, there would be no Ming today's world, and the princes also said that as long as the emperor needs, they will definitely serve the emperor like their ancestors, Xiao Mu was naturally very satisfied with their answers, praised them, and praised their loyalty and patriotism - of course, these are all just words, after all, these princes, Don't talk about whether what the marquis said is true, even if they are telling the truth, they really want to do things for Xiao Mu, the emperor, and share their worries, Xiao Mu may not dare to use it, because according to his understanding, these children of the princely family have long lost their enterprising spirit for so many years, and they are just wine bags and rice bags and straw bags with bright appearances.

Of course, the result of this is also the exclusion of Chinese officials in the DPRK, as well as the influence of the strict defense of the factory guards, in short, under the combined effect of various conditions, most of the princes are just Taiping masters, and it is impossible to have any real governance talents.

It's just that this series of dialogues is undoubtedly a bit ugly to describe as "acting on the spot", but in fact, whether it is Xiao Mu or these noble princes, there is indeed no one who is really from the bottom of his heart, although Xiao Mu has never met them before, but in this kind of empty words and clichés, the two sides have reached a "consensus" very tacitly, and the "cooperation" is perfect.

Finally talked about the topic of loyalty to the monarch and the country that seemed to be serious on the surface, but was actually unnutritious like a "routine", Xiao Mu could finally pretend to start today's actual "business" like "gossip".

Xiao Mu pretended to think of it very casually, saying that a few days ago, the queen invited your wife and ladies to the palace as guests, and played some new cards and mahjong in the palace with them, and originally planned to reward each of them with a deck of cards when they left, but the queen was pregnant and had a bad memory, so she forgot about it.

Xiao Mu brought out the topic of cards and mahjong as if he were talking about it, and behaved very naturally, and the way to make his words sound so natural was to sell Lin Yi - obviously Lin Ye's memory was very good, but in order to bring out the topic of cards, Xiao Mu had to deliberately make her "have a bad memory".

Xiao Mu clapped his hands as he spoke, and then the princes present saw that Wang Chengen ordered someone to come up with a tray, which was not gold, silver and jewelry, nor Danshu iron coupons, but those limited "hardcover collector's edition" cards.

Xiao Mu asked Wang Chengen to distribute these "hardcover collector's edition" cards to the noble princes present, and then said very casually that the original day of the Mid-Autumn Festival was going to be rewarded to your lady and miss, but the queen forgot it for a while, so today I specially asked me to hand over such a gadget to you, and you will hand it over on your behalf after you go back, and it is also a matter of the queen's heart......

Since the princes of the Ming Dynasty are naturally all men, it is naturally inconvenient for Lin Yi to participate in such an occasion, so Xiao Mu sold her "unscrupulously" again, and Lin Ye, who had no idea about it, just accidentally sneezed when she was learning needlework with Chu'er, which made Chu'er around her worry for a long time.
