Chapter 34: The Imperial Dinner (2)

At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights in the Jianji Hall are brilliant. The atmosphere in the hall of the pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info is very warm, this is the first time since the Ming Dynasty to the new emperor ascended the throne, the first banquet for the important ministers of the court and the princes and dignitaries.

Of course, as the theme of the dinner, Lin Qingye felt glorious, and the tiredness of many days was swept away at this moment. The specifications of the emperor's banquet this time have never been seen before. Moreover, Lin Qingye's position was arranged above the princes, which made Lin Qingye flattered, and after pushing it in every possible way, he reluctantly sat down, but he was worried in his heart and couldn't describe it in words.

Chongzhen raised the wine glass in his hand and said to all the princes and magnates: "Raise your glass, drink this cup with me." I wish the friendship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty will be eternal! Dry! After Chongzhen finished speaking, he drank it all!

"Minister, thank the emperor for the Korean people." Lin Qingye drank it all excitedly, and after drinking it full, the liquor went down his stomach, down his throat, and was refreshed to the bottom of his heart.

The princes and ministers, all raised their glasses and drank them all, even those who were not strong enough to drink, did not hesitate.

With a glass of wine, the atmosphere becomes even more enthusiastic. These ministers and vassal kings have all been in the officialdom for many years, and their ability to talk to people and talk nonsense has been perfected, even if the two have met for the first time, they can be like brothers in the kung fu of a meal.

Chongzhen was very satisfied with his current state, and his face was as calm as possible. For the queen who was on the side, Chongzhen didn't have the heart to care, the love of children was long, and it was too extravagant now.

This dinner, since it was a state banquet on the surface, and the North Korean envoys were invited, Lin Qingye raised his glass frequently, and soon, after three rounds of wine, Lin Qingye completely lay on the table, drunk like mud, and still had a smile on his face.

"Come on, Lord Fulin go down and settle down and rest." Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun to arrange someone to settle Lin Qingye. These things should not be Chongzhen's worries, but there are some exceptions today, the banquet Lin Qingye is just a superficial pretense, of course, if Lin Qingye is not coming, Chongzhen can still find many other excuses. All the ministers and vassal kings did not notice that the empress had left the Jianji Hall at some point. Some ministers didn't drink much, and they seemed to notice Chongzhen on the dragon chair, and their eyes became no longer so soft, and there seemed to be a hint of murder faintly.

Among these ministers is Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Cui Chengxiu was originally left behind to be in charge of the selection of the Tiger Ben Left Guard, but what happened during the selection of the Tiger Ben Left Guard still gave Cui Chengxiu a headache. It also happened that Chongzhen notified Cui Chengxiu to participate in the Jianji Hall dinner, so he attended. Chongzhen's methods, Cui Chengxiu saw it in his eyes, and felt both admiration and fear in his heart, yes, it was fear, such a feeling has not appeared for a long time. Cui Chengxiu felt that Chongzhen was in danger now, Chongzhen was too strong, and it was only a matter of time before he went to war with Houjin. But the key is that Chongzhen is not clear, but he knows very well, the Ming Dynasty is now decayed, not to mention anything else, just today's vassal king, and how many people are not sensual dogs and horses.

Cui Chengxiu faintly felt that something was going to happen, and he looked at Wei Zhongxian silently, wanting to find an answer from him, but Wei Zhongxian seemed to be more interested in the food on the table at the moment.

Chongzhen saw that everyone had gradually entered a better state, fluttering like a fairy, and the hypocrites who were usually sanctimonious gradually revealed their true colors. The smile on Chongzhen's original face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a murderous aura like substance.

Chongzhen looked at the Jinyi guard guarding the gate of the palace, and with a wave of his right hand, Jiang Zhifan immediately withdrew from the main hall.

A moment later, nearly a thousand brocade-clothed guards rushed in, quickly ran behind every minister and prince, and flashed their bright embroidered spring knives.

The official, who was almost unconscious due to excessive drinking, looked at the freshly clothed and angry Jinyi Wei in surprise, and in an instant, a cold sweat broke out, and the wine woke up in an instant.

Everyone looked at Chongzhen with stunned eyes, what was Chongzhen going to do. Everyone is thinking about whether they have offended Chongzhen somewhere.

"You don't need to panic, I won't use the knife against you, so put the knife away quickly." Chongzhen looked at the officials in a panic and knew that the situation had been controlled by himself, and now this group of officials would be fish on the chopping board, at his own disposal.

Although the knife was put away by the Jinyi Guard, the Jinyi Guard was still there, and the threat was still there, so the officials were not relieved because the embroidered spring knife was put away. At this moment, looking at the cold Chongzhen on the dragon chair, the chill rushed straight up from the bottom of his heart. Everyone couldn't help but think of Emperor Hongwu's methods, the timid people, the wine glasses that were originally raised in their hands, they could clearly see that they were shaking constantly, and the best wine kept spilling from the glasses.
