Chapter 117: The Banquet
Qin Daofu was ready to meet Liu Chang's revenge, but he was the first to receive the holy decree, which was similar to Yao Zhidong's, all of which wanted them to live in harmony with the crown prince Liu Chang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The operation to change the crown prince failed, and Liu Chang's crown prince position was unusually stable.
In this regard, Qin Daofu sighed secretly: "Sooner or later, he will die in the hands of that kid." ”
Temporary peace does not mean that there is no danger, Liu Chang is not a guy who plays cards according to common sense, maybe one day his brain is hot, and he will kill himself in minutes.
At the moment, Qin Daofu decided to show favor to Liu Chang, obviously the emperor's intention will definitely not change Liu Chang's crown prince, and the second prince he likes, as long as the current emperor Liu Zhen is on the throne, there is no hope.
The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Liu Chang.
Liu Chang's layout in the government and the opposition and the strength of the government and the opposition are blatant, while the other princes do not have that opportunity, so they can only come secretly.
In terms of means, Liu Chang is definitely young and promising, and even an old guy like him, who has been deeply involved in the government and the opposition for many years, is very difficult to face Liu Chang.
"It's time to show favor to him, you can't fight him."
temporarily rested the meaning of fighting with Liu Chang, buried deep in the bottom of my heart, and at the same time, it was actually a good choice to be ready to show favor to Liu Chang and support Liu Chang to take the position.
It's just that if he makes such a fuss now, even if he supports Liu Chang to take the position, Qin Daofu knows that Liu Chang has a psychological shadow, and he will definitely not be too good to himself.
Of course, it is only a temporary gesture, depending on the situation, if things take a turn for the better, he will not hesitate to choose a better choice.
After that, Liu Chang's invitation arrived, knowing that Liu Chang was named the king of Nanming and almost sat on the crown prince's throne, Qin Daofu was a little depressed.
Some people are happy and some people are sad, that's it.
called the housekeeper, wrote a secret letter, and sent it to the prince's mansion with a gift, and made peace completely.
Liu Chang is already full of people here, and officials from all walks of life have come to congratulate him.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
It was the orchestra that was in charge of the reception, and Fan Zhongpeng, as the general next to the prince, took three thousand military horses to strictly guard the prince's mansion to ensure the safety of the prince while preventing anyone from making trouble.
Of course, at the prince's banquet, there are too few people who dare to make trouble, unless the kind of people who don't want to live dare to make trouble.
The other ministers, most of them princelings or neutral factional officials, were very well-behaved.
For this banquet, Liu Chang also mobilized a lot of chefs and maids elsewhere in the palace, so the warblers and swallows in the field were so lively, like a market in the city during the day.
The grand banquet scene set off the prestige of the crown prince.
Now don't look at Liu Chang as an underage, but he has already dominated one side, and his majesty is getting heavier.
Who dares not to give face.
"Your Highness, there is a secret message from the Master Pavilion."
Fan Zhongpeng came over with Yao Zhidong's people and sent Yao Zhidong's handwritten secret letter.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, this is a gift specially prepared for you by our family, there are twenty night pearls, ten cat's eyes, eight pairs of green Ruyi, and other things."
After reading the secret letter, Liu Chang nodded and said, "Okay, I know your kindness Lord Yao." ”
sent the gift-giving guy at the moment.
At the same time, Qin Daofu, the right prime minister of the Yuanyuan Pavilion, and Qiu Baxiong, the master of the Moon Worship Hall, also had a peace book.
The content of the book is all apologies to Liu Chang, they are all ridiculous things that he did when he was old and confused, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be surprised.
And there are valuable gifts to give.
Liu Chang smiled, although he doesn't retaliate now, but this kind of time bomb around him will always be unguardable, who knows when it will explode.
The best way, of course, is to wipe them all out.
It's inconvenient to do it now, Liu Chang thought in his heart, he must find an opportunity to test it again.
"Lord Lang, offer eighteen gold beads, twenty pairs of gold ingots, and thirty emeralds."
But it was Zhong Shuge Lang Bing who arrived with a few small servants, and the orchestra and others in charge of the reception immediately welcomed Lang Bing in.
Lang Bing was a member of the neutral faction, but he was the first to arrive, with a smile on his face and a kind face.
It's just that among the court officials, don't look at the sweetness of the smile, the one who is kind-hearted, which one does not climb up with everyone eating and drinking human blood, it should not be underestimated.
Zhou Biao was already greeting guests everywhere.
Seeing Lang Bing coming, he laughed and said, "Lord Lang, you are here too." ”
Lang Bing glared and said: "Just kidding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been promoted, so you can't come to celebrate, how embarrassing is it, at least ask for a good glass of wine." ”
"Haha, Lord Lang, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely a good wine, and his daughter of thirty years has taken it out, don't be greedy for a cup, you will get drunk later, maybe I will find someone to throw you into the pit to spend the night."
"Stinky shameless, you dare, believe it or not, I will rob your concubine back tomorrow."
"Shameless people, disdain you to speak."
The two of them joked wantonly, laughing on the side.
"Lord Deer has arrived!"
"Master Zhang has arrived!"
Sure enough, Lu Dingsan also came in a hurry, originally, he was going to go to Zhanggong Mountain Mansion to drink and fart, but when he heard that the prince was named King Nanming, he was happy, and hurriedly went home and hurried with gifts.
And it just so happened that Zhang Gongshan and Lu Dingsan also arrived together, and the two were very excited, the prince was promoted, and they also rejoiced.
Zhou Biao smiled and said, "Lord Lu, what gift did you bring to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Lu Dingsan said angrily: "You are an old bachelor who is worried about other people's daughters-in-law being abducted, what do you do." ”
"Hey, it's okay for me to have a daughter-in-law, old bachelor, you're talking about Lord Lang." Zhou Biao laughed.
Lang Bing stomped his feet angrily, it was not good to brush him, although Lang Bing did not marry a wife, but there were several concubines, because Lang Bing had a wife before, but he died of illness, but Lang Bing was an infatuated man, and the position of the wife was only reserved for the dead wife.
Therefore, the ministers laughed at Lang Bing for being an old bachelor.
Zhang Gongshan also said happily: "This time, I finally took out my daughter Hong, which I have treasured for forty years, and spent all my life." ”
When Zhang Gongshan was born, his family sealed a jar of wine in the cellar, and it has been more than 40 years ago, and he has been reluctant to take it out, just to open the altar and drink it when he is about to die of old age.
As a result, when I heard that the prince was named King Nanming today, I gritted my teeth, forgot it, took it out and dedicated it to the prince, and brought it over very painfully.
Zhou Biao, Lang Bing and the others had bright eyes: "Wow, this doesn't mean that there will be a blessing tonight." ”
"Dream of you, it's dedicated to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhou Biao whispered: "A few adults, why don't I drink it secretly, anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't know." ”
Zhang Gongshan said angrily: "Get out." ”
After a while, Bai Xueshui also sent someone over to give gifts, but he didn't come.
In the following time, officials came one after another, all with gifts, and soon, the gifts received were piled higher than a mountain.
