The person who came was the Ming Dynasty who wrote "I am not afraid of broken bones, and I want to leave my innocence in the world". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Under Wang Zhen's gaze, he strode towards the Empress Dowager Zhang, and when he arrived in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, he bowed and saluted, and said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, Weichen is here this time, there are not many gifts, just two sleeves of the breeze, I wish you a long life without borders!" ”

"What a two-sleeved breeze, I have to doubt others if they want to say that they are honest, but you can afford this title!" Empress Dowager Zhang praised.

Empress Dowager Xie praised it. This is the duty of an official. Yu Qian said modestly.

Yu Qian met the emperor and the king again, and then found a table where no one sat for the time being. As soon as I sat down, I saw that today's birthday banquet was a little strange. The dining table is no longer a round table that seats 10 people, but a square table with a marble surface. Each table can only seat a maximum of four people. There is a small piece of bamboo on the table with the words "Eat and take your own meals, no waste". Xindao: It's really fresh, it's hard to not eat today, if we want to go into the imperial dining room by ourselves, and sit here to see the situation.

As soon as I thought about it, I looked up and saw a lot of tables by the pond in front of me. The palace maid shuttled between the imperial dining room and the table, placing plates of dishes full of color and fragrance on the table. Moreover, these tables are surrounded by many small grids according to certain rules, and the dishes are divided into cold dishes, starters, stir-fried dishes, meals, beets, snacks and fruits.

When many officials looked at Yu Qian with such eyes, Wang Zhen sang at the top of his voice: "The auspicious time has come, Lile!" ”

At this time, the music of the court feast was played. Success and music, and the original intention of the Chinese feudal rulers in the past dynasties to make rituals and music. It can represent the supremacy of imperial power. Outside the city gate, nine Shenwu salutes were fired at the same time, implying good luck.

Wang Zhen looked at the hundred officials and announced loudly: "Banquet!" ”

I saw the palace maids walk up to the officials seated and serve three teas first: clear tea, fragrant tea, and fried rice tea. Then lead the officials to the self-service area to pick up the food. Under the guidance of the palace maid, Yu Qian came to the food picking area and was stunned by the scene in front of him. The dishes are well cooked and very local. Under careful discernment, the eight major cuisines of Sichuan, Guangdong, Suzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hui and Shandong are complete. This is the first time in my life that I have seen the delicacies of the eight major cuisines at the same time! While admiring, he frowned and calculated how much silver these dishes would cost, and he didn't know who hosted the banquet, which was too extravagant.

Yu Qian entered the Lu cuisine area first, he saw that the other dishes were steaming, this summer, he didn't want to eat hot dishes as soon as he came up. Seeing a plate of yellow lumpy food is not steaming, there is a label on the back of the plate that reads: Sweet potato shredding. I picked up a piece of sweet potato and pulled it directly into my mouth, and just wanted to chew it, I felt that my tongue was so hot that I couldn't stand it, and I hurriedly spit it out. It turns out that this kind of food should be eaten while it is hot, and it will not be able to bite when it is cold. And it has a feature that it doesn't look smoky, but it's actually hot because it's just fished out of the hot pan.

Yu Qian was not in a hurry to get food. He just wanted to see more and taste more, this form of self-service has never been before, and it feels very fresh. Continue to walk forward and turn into the Huicai area. As soon as I walked to these tables, I was attracted by a strong fragrance, which turned out to be Fuliji roast chicken. He pointed to the dish, and the palace maid took out a tray from the food plate and put it in her hand, and continued to follow Yu Qian.

After that, he ordered Beijing's sour plum soup, the Buddha jumping over the wall and the seven-star fish balls in Fujian cuisine, and felt that it was enough to eat, so he returned to his seat just now. There were already two officials sitting at this table. Everyone greeted each other for a while and began to eat. After a while, the freshness passed, and most of the officials had already begun to eat, and a few officials were still picking up the food.

Wang Zhen walked out again and preached loudly: "The show begins!" At this time, fireworks were set off in the Imperial Garden, and these fireworks were made by Chai Baochen according to the technical guidance of later generations, and the sound was particularly loud enough to light up the festive atmosphere.

Amid the sound of fireworks, suddenly a sweet song came out. Everyone was watching the fireworks just now, and they didn't notice that the stage was already full of performers. I saw a woman singing in front, and the women behind did not sing, but danced. The graceful dancing posture and their graceful figures really made the officials forget to eat. They watched intently at the performance on stage.

The song and dance came to an end, and many officials felt a burst of heat on their bodies, and the official robe was too thick. In addition, some officials were eating hot and spicy dishes, and their heads were sweating. At this moment, an old man suddenly stood on the stage, and I saw him whistle, and a beautiful woman with heavy makeup came up from under the stage. They bowed to the audience, and then the old man ordered a wooden box, which was placed vertically, seven feet high and two feet long. The woman opened the door and walked inside. The old man locked the door outside. At this moment, a slender jade hand came out of a hole in the wooden board of the box, which was still grasping a handkerchief and waving it incessantly.

The old man ordered a lot of swords to be fetched. He picked up a sword and made a motion to pierce the box, causing the officials to sigh. Empress Dowager Zhang was also frightened. Wang Zhen next to him whispered: "Don't be afraid, the Queen Mother, this is a trick." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang opened her eyes again and looked nervously. I saw that the old man was about to insert the long sword into the wooden box again, but this time he didn't exaggerate the atmosphere again, but directly inserted the long sword into it. I could only hear a scream of "ah" in the wooden box, and the hand holding the handkerchief that could not stop waving stopped swinging.

After watching it, hundreds of officials discussed one after another, what kind of show is this, it's too cruel. Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, couldn't hold back at first, stood up on the ground, and shouted: "Guard, don't hurry up and take down that thief!" As soon as the guards saw that the person who was talking was wearing a first-class immortal crane official mansion, they immediately obeyed the order to arrest the old man.

But I heard a shout from under the stage: "Slow! "It turned out to be King Yu. He stood under the stage, maintaining order.

At that moment, the slender jade hand pinched the handkerchief again and began to wave it. The officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Next, the old man inserted a sharp blade into the wooden box one by one, and pierced it from various angles, which really made the hearts of the hundred officials tighten. Look at that hand again, it is no longer moving. A sword didn't stab you to death just now, so many swords?

Just when everyone was holding their breath, a sweet voice appeared beside Empress Dowager Zhang. Hundreds of officials followed the prestige, and saw a beauty sitting next to the Empress Dowager Zhang, looking at her clothes and appearance, wasn't she the beauty who walked into the wooden box just now?

It's weird. How did she escape?

The old man looked at everyone with a smile. He withdrew the hilt of the sword, then grabbed the slender jade hand and pulled it out of the hole with a sharp force. The old man pushed open the wooden box again, revealing a large hole that led to the bottom of the stage. At this time, many officials suddenly realized.

It turned out that the beautiful woman had already extended her pre-made prosthetic hand from the inside of the box to the outside of the box before she stabbed the first sharp blade. As the blade pierced, she ducked under the stage and screamed. You can't hurt yourself in this way. And the timing needs to be rehearsed a few more times. Since the attention of the hundred officials was on the stage, the beauties walked to the queen mother's side, and everyone didn't notice it.

And the person who plays the role of a beauty must not only be beautiful, but also bold. When this show was originally arranged, Chai Baochen struggled to find a suitable actor. And King Yu thought of his sister Princess Changde, so he went to ask her to come over and help. The current Princess Changde was replaced by Wang Zhen with Miss Dove, and when Dove heard that she could meet her sweetheart Chai Baochen, of course she agreed to this matter. During this time, the relationship between Chai Baochen and Dove heated up sharply. With a sense of guilt for her, Chai Baochen took care of her in every possible way.

Chai Baochen's actions all fell into the eyes of King Yu. King Yu is usually low-key, but he knows in his heart: Chai Baochen is a good official, and there is nothing wrong with his sister getting close to him, not to mention that Lord Chai also saved his sister's life. Therefore, the king also often creates opportunities for them to meet. Chai Baochen knew this well and never said it.

Seeing the mystery revealed, the officials applauded in unison.

Dove knelt down to the Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "My granddaughter greets the imperial grandmother and wishes the imperial grandmother a long and boundless life." This is the gift that your granddaughter gave you, a magic show, I don't know if you like it? As she spoke, she snuggled her head into Empress Dowager Zhang's arms. Dove was forced by Wang Zhen to replace Princess Changde, but she never experienced the love of her elders since she was very young. It is really a happiness to be able to be coquettish to Empress Dowager Zhang now.

Empress Dowager Zhang kindly stroked Dove's hair and smiled happily.

Wang Zhen saw that Empress Dowager Zhang doted on Dove so much, and couldn't help but sarcastically say in his heart: "Imposter, acting quite similar!" ”

Next there is the "Space Walk" performance, the actors are a group of little eunuchs, they are dressed in strange black clothes, but they look quite energetic, they are also on crutches, the pace is uniform, and there is momentum, very good-looking.

This was followed by several more skits. This form reproduces life, has educational significance, and is different from the opera programs of the past. Chai Baochen deliberately arranged the history of Song Huizong's Jing Kangsha, so that the officials present could strengthen their sense of responsibility, not to let the rich Ming Dynasty decline, and also to pave the way for the changes in the civil fort that would occur in the future. The officials watched the Southern Song Dynasty ****** kill Yue Fei, the main general of the anti-gold resistance, and they were all filled with righteous indignation. Will they suggest moving south to a more secure corner in the future? Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen Nangong will not liquidate the main battle faction after the restoration? Chai Baochen just wants to plant a seed in the hearts of the ministers and the current emperor, and the interests of the country are paramount rather than the interests of the emperor.
