Chapter 289: Straightforward

After a while, Han Rui's mood returned to normal, his demeanor was calm, and he knew that it was not an ulterior thing anyway, he was above board, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

With a gimmickle of approval in his eyes, Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty's meaning, since the matter was proposed by you, then this matter will be handed over to you to deal with." ”

"Eunuch Yu, what do you mean by that?" Blinking his eyes, Han Rui was inexplicable, what did he let himself deal with?

"Some ministers in the DPRK and China feel that it is also a rare event for the princes to go to Qujiang for a banquet, and it is better for the imperial court to come forward and be responsible for arranging and coordinating, which can also reflect His Majesty's grace and the importance of the imperial court." Yu Shinan smiled and said: "Your Majesty heard this, and felt reasonable, and originally wanted the Ministry of Rites to deal with it, but I heard that it was your idea, so I left it to you." ”

"Leave it to me?" Han Rui was surprised.

"Hmm." Yu Shinan nodded and admonished: "Han Xiaoshu, you must do things seriously, don't let down Your Majesty's trust." ”

Han Rui solemnly replied, keeping in mind Yu Shinan's advice, and left, but his mind was a little confused, the imperial court came forward to organize the Qujiang banquet, Han Rui didn't think it was strange, those scholars who were in the Jinshi, there were naturally people behind them, and it was normal to understand the benefits of this activity, and to add fuel to the fire and promote this matter.

What really made Han Rui couldn't figure it out was that he felt that the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, there were so many capable ministers, and seniority was ranked, this kind of thing that was clearly a matter of obtaining political achievements, how could it fall on his head, shaking his head, and he couldn't figure it out, Han Rui simply didn't want to, his steps were brisk, and he began to think about how to hold a beautiful Qujiang banquet with chicken feathers as an arrow, and erect a monument for future generations.

Wait, as if getting carried away, Han Rui suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly ran back to the main room of the official office, and said embarrassedly: "Secret Supervisor Yu, I won't be the only one in charge of this matter." ”

"Seeing that you didn't ask, the old man thought that you could do it alone." Yu Shinan smiled, as if he was a little cunning.

Han Rui was speechless, with a little expectation, but saw Yu Shinan take out a roll of dragon pattern red brocade from under the case, and said with a smile: "Take it, this is Your Majesty's will, with this thing, you can ask Chang'an Ling for help and mobilize the ...... of the officials."

Han Rui was overjoyed, took the holy decree, carefully hid it in his arms, and took this opportunity to inquire in a low voice: "Duke Yu, it's not me who is arrogant, the main thing is short, and there is no reason, how can Your Majesty let me handle this matter?" ”

"What, I don't want to do it, I don't think I'm capable enough?" Yu Shinan asked.

Han Rui hurriedly shook his head, what are you kidding, knowing that it is a credit, how can he push it out, and knowing that Yu Shinan will not harm himself, he simply stopped asking and left directly.

Looking at Han Rui's distant figure, Yu Shinan muttered to himself: "Do a good job, it won't be in vain for my recommendation, I don't know how long I can support it, the opportunity is given to you, how far you can go depends on your own ability." "Coughing lightly twice, it may not be so serious, but after all, he is already an old man in his seventies, and he is getting old and twilight, and he is no longer what he used to be.

Han Rui didn't know that the opportunity was won by Yu Shinan with his old face, but he also understood the truth without further ado, and returned to the official office to explain a few words, and in the envious eyes of several colleagues, he hurriedly left the imperial city, first went to visit Chang'an Ling, and then got in touch with Qian Feng and others to discuss the plan.

Hearing that the imperial court attached great importance to it and sent Han Rui to be in charge of this matter, and Chang'an Yamen assisted, Qian Feng and others were excited and excited, and hurriedly reported the progress of the work and solicited opinions.

Time is fleeting, the spring is short, the first month of spring is cold, March spring ploughing, only February, is the best season to play and go green, all things recover, flowers and trees, has pulled out tender green leaves, full of vitality, full of vitality, blue sky and clear water, February spring breeze, warm and warm, blowing face is not cold, poetic and picturesque.

In this spring blossoming and sunny day, the annual Qujiang banquet, well, no, it should be the latest planning of the Qujiang banquet officially kicked off, due to proper publicity, this morning, on the banks of the beautiful Qujiang River, there were many lords and magnates, literati, and cloth people.

However, the most eye-catching thing is naturally a new outfit, jubilant, full of spring breeze, three or three, two of them, hand in hand, facing everyone's pointing and staring, with a proud face, sometimes, Han Rui is also suspicious, obviously for a monkey to see, why everyone thinks it is very glorious, I can't figure it out, I don't understand.

Whatever, how many people want to be monkeys but can't, Han Rui shook his head, humbly and respectfully, let the chief examiner Chu Liang and others go first, and when the subjects saw it, they stepped forward to pay respects.

"Master Chu."

"Han School Book."

Among them, the most popular ones are naturally Chu Liang and Han Rui, one is a bachelor of Hongwenguan, the chief examiner of the provincial examination, admitting everyone, it can be said that it is a reinvention of grace, according to common sense, the lifters should be called teachers, and the other is the advocate, organizer, and implementer of the Qujiang banquet, so that everyone can enjoy the glory that has never been before, and naturally they should be grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Naturally, there are one or two people who don't want to see Han Rui in their hearts, but they don't dare to show the slightest, after listening to some of Han Rui's arrangements for the Qujiang banquet, everyone naturally understands that the significance of the banquet is not trivial, and they have to come to participate, not to mention giving up, if they offend Han Rui, they will not only be spurned by everyone, but if they miss this event, they will regret it.

After a greeting and politeness, everyone will naturally not stand and be tired, this most basic arrangement, Han Rui will definitely not ignore it, next to Jiangqu, a place with a beautiful environment, a pavilion with water, set up a bed mat, and wait for everyone to sit down.

There, naturally gathered a lot of lifters, seeing Chu Liang and others, after saluting, his demeanor was very respectful, and he didn't need to be commanded, so he gave way by himself, anyway, the banquet hadn't started yet, so he didn't have to worry, he sat down, Chu Liang and Han Rui talked and laughed, and those lifters were also interested, so they didn't come up to disturb, seize the opportunity, and communicate with the same year.

Just chatting, naturally not the reason for hospitality, so Han Rui has also been prepared, in the lawn, there are many cases in a patchwork, containing wine, fruits, melons, etc., to provide free drinking, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and personally visit Lu Cai, from the Taile official office, cheekily asked a group of musicians to come over, blow and play, the atmosphere is rich.

Around, lords and magnates, wealthy businessmen and literati, said to see the lively, of course, they will not really blatantly watch, but bring their families to play here, but intentionally or unintentionally, they are more concerned about the situation here, and when they see one or two young people with dignified appearances and elegant manners, they will send their servants and the like, come and knock on the side, inquire about the details, and it is not lively.

The time is not big, and people come one after another, and somehow, on the shore, there are bursts of crisp laughter, soft voices, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, milk swallow home, wonderful.

What's going on? Men, understandably, for women's voices, always more sensitive, a group of people hurriedly watched, but saw a few more embroidered curtains on the other side, a group of young and beautiful women, pretty, white and tender water, laughing and playing, fluttering butterflies and picking flowers, grinding ink and painting, so eye-catching.

"What are they doing, is it ......" Some people are self-inflicted, quietly tidying up their faces.

Someone explained: "Oh, that's the Spring Exploration Banquet, it's customary, at this time of year, some unmarried girls come out together, feast and fight flowers, watch the spring scenery, March 3, when the Shangbian Festival, there is a skirt banquet, which is more lively." ”

Unmarried girls? Vaguely, Han Rui seemed to hear it, some people began to swallow their throats violently, laughed secretly in their hearts, their hearts are moving, burning, the opportunity is just around the corner, take out some fighting spirit, and behave well...... "Han Xiaoshu, I remember, wasn't the Spring Festival Banquet held in a few days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and now it's February, how can there be?" Chu Liang asked confusedly, raising a glass of drink, his drunken hazy eyes, but a slight smile appeared.

Hehe, people are old and refined, they are deliberately pretending to be confused, Han Rui smiled, in those days of preparing for the imperial examination, some people must not be clear, but even if they know about it, I am afraid they will not break it, Han Rui glanced at Zheng Naoyue from afar, his eyes were gentle like water, and he turned around and whispered: "Everyone wants to have it, and naturally there is." ”

"It makes sense." Chu Liang smiled and toasted to each other.

This matter, some moves, naturally know, but unless stupid, will be exposed, the so-called Yiren, on the water side, that scene, how pleasing to the eye, whoever dares to destroy, is everyone's public enemy, and the group will attack it.

Han Rui's arrangement, whether he knew it in advance or found it now, the effect is very significant, there are more beautiful landscapes on the opposite side, the performance here is more lively, and the sound of chanting poetry is at least several decibel higher, and it spreads very far, but I am afraid that those beautiful girls have not heard it.

After a long time, Han Rui felt that the time was almost up, asked Chu Liang's opinion, waved his hand gently, and a master of ceremonies walked out, shouted a few times in a row, attracting everyone's attention, the voice in the field gradually stopped, showed a satisfied smile, and said loudly: "Talents, invited, today's Qujiang banquet is organized to flatter His Majesty's ......will."

Han Rui felt young and was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the scene, so he specially invited a few respected doctors from the Guozijian to serve as the master of ceremonies for the banquet.

Tell everyone that the wine, food, fruit and melon of the banquet are all court chefs, carefully cooked, and given by His Majesty, everyone can come here, and it is also His Majesty's Longen, calling on everyone, in the future, we must remember Your Majesty's benevolence, loyalty to the country, dedication to the country, and then death, Yunyun, anyway, every sentence does not leave Your Majesty's grace, so I almost didn't shout directly, without Your Majesty, there would be no you, a righteous and awe-inspiring agitation, listening to the crowd's actions, the mood was agitated, eyes were full of tears, and in the direction of Miyagi, he suddenly thanked him.

Is it flattery? Chu Liang was a little surprised, this was too ...... Let's put it bluntly.

But I don't know that in later generations, these words are very ordinary, highlighting the role of leadership, who wouldn't, Han Rui just copied it, changed it a few times, and then found someone to polish it, and it didn't take much effort to get it done.
