On this side of King Ning's Mansion, there are many guests.

Zhu Xuan looked at the people in the lobby who came to congratulate him on his birthday, basically all the big people in Jiaodong had already arrived.

Especially—he saw the thorn head and the messenger of the night.

At this time, Shi Yiru stepped forward, Zhu Xuan turned his face sideways, and said in a low voice: "Are you ready?" ”

"The prince can rest assured."

Shi Yiru leaned into his ear and whispered, "Even Wen Ye, his people have been led aside." ”

"Let people watch them, and don't let those people act rashly."

"Don't worry, the prince."

"Hmm."

Zhu Xuan nodded, and then said, "Close the door." ”

Shi Yiru responded, and immediately ordered the people around him to go down and close the door of the mansion. This noise was not small, and some of the guests who came to congratulate him immediately heard the sound, so he came over and asked, "Lord Wang, why did you suddenly close the door of the mansion?" ”

Zhu Xuan only glanced at them and didn't speak.

Shi Yiru, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, don't misunderstand, everyone. Today is the birthday of the prince, in order to have fun with the people, the prince specially instructed the villain to open the granary of the palace, take some rice and grain to the street to give to the people. ”

"Oh?"

"When the common people have been rewarded, and their hearts are grateful, they will come to the palace to thank the prince for his great kindness. However, where would the prince care about this. ”

“……”

"Besides, if you're having a banquet with all the adults today, naturally you can't have any idle people waiting to disturb you, right?"

Everyone immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "It turns out that the prince is so kind-hearted. ”

"It's really a blessing to all the people in the world."

"yes, yes."

……

They flatter like this, which is also a common thing on weekdays, but this kind of thing, usually Wen Ye rarely attends the scene, so I can see and hear not much, at this time when I hear such words, I can't help frowning.

At this time, Zhu Xuan looked at him: "Master Wen." ”

Hearing him call himself, Wen Ye raised his head and looked cold: "What does the prince command?" ”

Zhu Xuan smiled: "Seeing the expression of the adult, it seems that I don't think much of what everyone says." ”

Immediately, everyone around him looked at him.

Wen Ye was not ambiguous, and said coldly: "It is naturally a good thing for the prince to give food and rice to the people in the city on his birthday. But I just heard someone say that this is the blessing of all the people in the world, and this sentence is a bit exaggerated. ”

The face of the person who had just said this suddenly changed.

Said coldly: "Oh? Master Wen thinks, is there anything wrong? ”

Wen Ye said: "All the people in the world are the people of the emperor, and only the emperor can be blessed and blessed by the people; As for the prince, it is indeed a good thing to do this, but the people who have benefited are just some people in Changqing City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the blessing of all the people? ”

"You-"

"What's more, this is already suspected of transgression!"

The man was a little annoyed, but he was so caught up in his words that he didn't know what to say.

Wen Ye stood in the crowd, and his face was even colder.

He was originally a military general, although he is now an envoy, he still does not change the style of a military general, and even has a leader around him, which is naturally different from those civil officials around him.

Even if everyone was a little unconvinced, they couldn't say anything when they were overwhelmed by his momentum.

What's more, I don't dare to say anything.

Zhu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Lord Wen, it's really straightforward." ”

“……”

"Well, this thing - not for now. It just so happens that the banquet over there has been set up, so let's take a seat. ”

After saying that, raise your hand.

When the people saw this, they immediately followed.

However, Wen Ye's brows frowned slightly.

Just now, Zhu Xuan said "don't press the table for the time being", that is to say, this matter is not just over.

He couldn't help but wake up in his heart.

At this time, a familiar figure next to him walked over, it was the smiling governor Zhao Gan, he said: "Lord Wen, today is the birthday of the prince, why do you bother to speak with thorns and embarrass the prince?" ”

Wen Ye glanced at him coldly, he had never disdained this person who flattered Zhu Xuan, and he didn't bother to say anything to him at this time, so he turned around and walked forward.

In a few moments, the crowd was seated.

After the Battle of Jingyan, King Ning was one of the few remaining princes after Zhu Feng ascended the throne, and Zhu Feng gave him the rich land on this side of Jiaodong as a fief, and he minted a lot of money and boiled salt in his own territory, and was the richest of several princes.

Therefore, his Ning Wang's Mansion is tall and luxurious, and the banquet hall is also very spacious, almost comparable to the Fengtian Hall in the Jinling Imperial City and the Taihe Hall in the Beiping Imperial Palace.

So many people were invited, and dozens of tables were set up, and it was even very spacious.

Those young and beautiful, richly dressed maidservants lined up and brought plates of delicacies to the table, steaming hot and fragrant, which provoked people's appetites.

This feast is really sumptuous!

However, Wen Ye frowned again.

This kind of regulation has greatly exceeded the power that King Ning should enjoy, although in the past, he also acted like this from time to time, but most of the time, there was no handle left for people to grasp.

But today, this-

Wen Ye sat on Zhu Xuan's main table and looked at Zhu Xuan with heavy eyes.

At this time, Zhu Xuan stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone, those who came to the king's birthday banquet today are all outstanding people here, heroic for a while, and the king is grateful to you for taking the time to come to celebrate the king's birthday. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone stood up.

One of them is a longer grade, and his status is different from everyone else, but he is a famous man here, whose surname is Lin'an, and hurriedly said: "The prince is an important minister of the dynasty and a pillar of the country, and it is also our blessing to be able to celebrate the birthday of the prince." We only use this wine to congratulate the prince. ”

Everyone also hurriedly said: "Yes, I wish the prince a long and blessed life." ”

"May the prince do well."

……

In the midst of those clichéd greetings, Zhu Xuan drank the wine in the cup with them.

After drinking, he sat down, and as soon as the wine glass in his hand was placed on the table, he couldn't help but sigh heavily: "Alas! ”

The people around were stunned.

Although there is a huge hall and hundreds of people, everyone's eyes are focused on him, even if they frown, everyone is watching.

Immediately, someone asked: "Lord, today is your birthday, you should be happy, why sigh?" ”

Zhu Xuan said: "I have a troublesome thing. ”
