Chapter 323: Coming One After Another (2-in-1)
Time passes imperceptibly.
Nothing happened overnight.
In the afternoon of the next day.
Accompanied by the atmosphere of celebration and congratulations in the imperial capital.
The Prince's Mansion.
Zhang Feng packed up and prepared to go to the palace.
Hurry up early or late, I've always been like this.
As for the rule that no one is allowed to enter the palace before 5 p.m.
This doesn't work for you.
I also know that they are now doing the final security inspection, so let's go and take a look, just pass the time and learn the formation.
As for tonight's dinner, do you need to prepare some gifts, or prepare something else?
Zhang Feng thought about it, and originally prepared a poem, but he always felt that no matter which one it was, it didn't fit the atmosphere.
You must know that when you return to the imperial capital, above the early dynasty, that quatrain has pushed the prestige of the general to the top.
So no matter what poems you write in the future, it will affect the glorious image created by the previous generals to some extent.
When the water is full, it overflows, and that's the case now.
Poetry has reached its peak, so there is no need to add to it, establish sorrow, boldness, and other poetic emotions.
It's better to just have a meal and see if you can find out which of the people who are here today are the players.
If you can find it, then find an opportunity in the future to contact them more and see if they can help you with any tasks.
Zhang Feng thought of this, and thought it was quite interesting.
Because if the player wants to contact the court and integrate into this world, he must exhaust his brains and plot together, and he is afraid that others will find out that something is wrong.
But if you want to contact them, then contact them, no one will doubt themselves, and no one will dare to doubt themselves.
Zhang Feng thought like this, and when he came to the palace, he also went directly to the apse of the Chaoyan Palace, preparing to talk to Gonggong Sun first and learn the formation.
And as time passes.
At five o'clock in the afternoon in winter, it will be dark.
Before the main feast begins at eight o'clock, the main hall is allowed to enter the door that should be in the side hall.
It is also the door guests that the Holy Lord knows about many ministers, many of whom are heads of various sects or juniors in the family.
These people in the opposition also want to rely on a certain minister to know other masters, or other powerful people.
The saint will definitely round their minds, so that they can talk to each other before the birthday banquet begins, which can be regarded as a means to win over the masters and the powerful ministers.
The saint, the minister, the rivers and lakes, all three parties are good, why not.
So much so that on such a grand event.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone who should have come came.
In addition to the fact that the prince doesn't know where he is, the four princes are busy spending money, and the saint, as the proprietor, is the last to appear.
The crown prince, the third prince, the second prince, the envoys of various countries, the people in the rivers and lakes, the talented and famous people, the ministers, all gathered together, all in the spacious and majestic main hall, each forming a small circle to talk.
But in these small collectives, from time to time, a few people also walked out, led back and forth by a minister, greeting people in various circles.
Those who walked around were coming to the feast for the first time.
For example, in the southwest corner, the three brothers of the Mo family were led by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, wandering around the periphery of the palace, patrolling the last security, and at the same time being introduced by the waiter to the people on the periphery to the three brothers of the Mo family.
But this periphery does not mean that the status is low and far away from the core, but it is really close to the outside of the temple.
At this time, the three princes, who were favored by the saints, were chatting with several important ministers of the court on the periphery.
"That is the Third Highness.." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites also introduced to the three brothers of the Mo family in a whisper.
The three princes, who were five zhang away from each other, heard it and nodded to them with their heads tilted.
This proves that although the squire said it in a whisper, he also said it on purpose.
After all, the people present, except for a few talented people and ministers, who really have no qualifications to cultivate, the rest of them are at least in the innate realm.
In the innate realm, even if it is ten zhang away, you can hear whispers.
Therefore, such a whispered introduction will not disturb the conversation between the three princes and the ministers, but it will also let the three princes know that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is 'leading people', and I hope that the three princes will give a face and nod their heads.
But if the official position is not enough, the third prince really can't hear it, and he doesn't owe it to him when he looks at him.
But such a whisper, even if the three princes 'can't hear it', others mistakenly think that the three princes are talking to several ministers about the important affairs of the court, and their minds are highly concentrated, so it is inevitable that they will not hear it.
In this way, the face of both parties remained.
It's just that at this time, the three princes returned the salute, which proves that the power status of the squire is not low.
Now, when the squire saw the three princes nodding and saying hello, he was also full of heart, and gratefully bowed his hand to the three princes not far away.
"The villain has seen the three princes.." When the three brothers of the Mo family saw the three princes coming, they also hurriedly bowed and saluted.
'Go..' The squire changed to Chuanyin this time, and Chuanyin is really talking about things, and he doesn't want others to hear it, "The four princes are about to come to the court banquet hall, you go with me to greet you." ’
'Yes..' The three of them responded, as if they continued to patrol without a trace, and said goodbye to the three princes again, and followed the squire out of the palace.
But in their hearts, they wanted the squire to help them introduce the prince.
It's a pity that the prince hasn't come yet.
However, if the squire knew that the three of them wanted him to introduce the prince's thoughts, then eighty percent would not agree.
can only say that his official position and reputation are too low, and he is not qualified to recommend him.
Now that the third prince has given face, he is already very content.
But not long after the four of them left.
And the envoys of the rest of the nations went from the temple to the temple.
The leader is a big man wearing a brocade official uniform.
He is the leader of the team of envoys of the kingdom, a grand man.
Now, he is also introducing the three princes to the two young men wearing black and white brocade clothes around him.
When the third prince saw that the people from the mission were coming, he also brought a few ministers and chatted with the grand lord.
This kind of treatment is obviously higher than that of the squire.
It is also a grand person who represents a country, and he can't just nod his head and finish it.
But the two black and white brothers, who were dressed in black and white brocade, were not interested in this polite thing.
Because they are not people in this world, and they don't like to study the affairs of this world.
The only thing that interests me is the fortune of the country.
Not surprisingly, they are players.
And they also feel that the two of them entered the palace as 'envoys', no one should have thought of this, right?
In particular, they belong to the guests, and the grand envoy headed by them has the dragon spirit of the state of art, and there is a letter from the emperor of the country.
Then in a very good probability, the official people of Daqi will not casually doubt their identity.
It's a complete umbrella.
At least Brother Qing and the six members of the team, their eyes skimmed over them, and they did not suspect that there were players in the Six Nations Missions in the hall, and they did not dare to doubt these people.
Further, if the player wants to join the mission and act as an emissary for their country to visit another powerful dynasty, it will require the strong trust of the royal family.
Otherwise, what if it is embarrassing, and what if diplomacy is bad and causes misunderstanding?
So if you want to have such a level of trust, in this short period of half a month, there is simply not enough for players to plan.
But in fact, the black and white brothers really did it.
It was also through the mission twelve days ago that they successfully got on the mission on the way, and they did it by a clever method.
The specific event is 'Killing the Cult and Rescuing the Mission of the Sect'
Including the events of the time, as in the mission.
It was twelve days ago.
When the two black and white brothers were hurrying at the border, wanting to escape the dangerous Daqi, go to a small country to cultivate and seek national fortune.
The mission came suddenly.
Three hundred miles away, the people of the Shuguo mission were being attacked by the people of the cult and resisted with difficulty.
The purpose of the cult is also obvious, that is, it wants to kill the members of the mission, or be killed by the members of the mission, and then cause a 'misunderstanding' between the two countries.
But by coincidence, the two black and white brothers thought that this was a task, and they also read the meaning of the country, so they went to save each other.
The final result is that the grand master is grateful to the two, and seeing that the two of them are unfathomable, and they intend to take refuge in Shuguo, what else do they say?
Just escorted all the way into the imperial capital.
The two black and white brothers didn't expect that the two of them would come back like this?
Also, the people who came up with the plan didn't think of it, so it must be even harder for others to guess.
But they kept their mouths shut about the assassination, and did not tell anyone.
And the envoys of the mission and others thought about it on the way, and then came to the court banquet hall and thought about it, and also felt that it was not a good thing to talk about the assassination in the birthday banquet of the Great Qi Sheng, saying that they were assassinated in the territory of the Great Qi Kingdom.
I don't know, I thought they were making trouble, saying that Daqi had the intention of harming them.
Although they did not mean it that way, they were terrible.
The cult that attacked and killed them may have such a purpose, hoping that there would be a disagreement between their Shuguo and Daqi.
Therefore, this matter can be suppressed and completely concealed, and it cannot be followed by the will of the cult.
Including for the two black and white brothers, the identities of these two life-savers, as well as explanations.
Master Hong has already fabricated the identity of these two players as 'doormen', and he is not afraid that these two are the people arranged by the cult's 'plan', and he is not afraid that they will take the opportunity to trick themselves into the holy banquet with them, and then start to assassinate.
Because these two people have made a great road oath.
As long as they have the idea of assassination and the motive for assassination, they don't need everyone here to make a move, they will be angry and bloody, the spirit will be seriously injured, and their hearts will be full of demons.
When this happened, the Grand Master was ready to send the two messengers out of the temple on the grounds that they were sick.
But secretly, he would wait for the Holy Banquet to pass, and then make a contribution to the Great Qi Emperor, escort the two to them, and explain the reason.
With such a soldier without bloodshed, he took down two catastrophe cults, and he was a meritorious man!
I believe that the Emperor of Great Qi will remember him.
Presumably, after the war between the two countries and the defeat of the Shuguo, the Holy Lord may remember today's kindness and be kind to him.
It's a back road.
Now the grand man wishes that these two were members of the cult.
Of course, it's not the best, and there's no need to take such a risk to 'give gifts' and bet on whether the saint will believe him.
And he was also pondering the scheming of the grand man, the three brothers of the Mo family outside the palace were waiting for the four princes, the black and white two sighed at the majesty of Daqi, and Brother Qing and the others were looking at the vicinity of the team.
Zhang Feng, under the protection of a row of guards, walked from the screen at the back of the hall and stood on the side.
In front of the screen is the first place where the saint sits.
There is also a seat next to it, which is the position of the prince.
Zhang Feng glanced at the seat, and through the gap in the screen, he saw that there were still many guests in the hall, so he didn't sit down, and he also stopped the guards around him from saying things like 'The prince has arrived'.
If they want to talk, let them talk.
Anyway, being on the side of the screen doesn't affect their conversation.
But in the crowd not far away, the shopkeeper Wang was always paying attention to this place, and when he saw the prince appearing, he stepped forward quickly.
His movements also attracted the attention of the nearby crowd.
But as Zhang Feng raised his hand slightly, they all bowed and resumed the previous negotiation.
At the same time, Zhang Feng also looked at the shopkeeper Wang who came over, or to be precise, the six people behind him.
To be honest, I still have an impression of these six people, and I know that they are the six brothers of Mixing Porridge, who have become famous recently.
But how did he get into the king's shopkeeper, and I don't know much about this.
But roughly speaking, it is nothing more than the king's shopkeeper who took them under the door to avoid conflicts and affect business.
The shopkeeper himself still knows that harmony is precious.
As for how it happened, how it was co-opted.
Just ask about this in private.
Now whether they are players or not, can't be sure.
Zhang Feng thought about it, and kept looking at the shopkeeper Wang and the six members of the team who came over.
The shopkeeper Wang always wore a smiling face, and when he reached the ten steps of Zhang Feng, he saluted his hand and did not go any further.
"The grass people have seen the prince!" The courtesy of the king's shopkeeper was very solemn and decent, and he looked like he was not having an affair with the official family, perhaps for the few monks who found the prince next to him.
This is all face-saving work, it's really not true, people who understand it naturally know it.
But as soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, more and more monks knew that the prince was coming!
It's just that the prince didn't come out of the screen, so it's better not to take the liberty of going to the ceremony.
'I'm afraid this old fox has already set foot on the court..'
But among the crowd, an old monk who was watching the king, when he saw the appearance of the king's shopkeeper saluting, he knew that the king's shopkeeper had often cooperated with the household department in the past few years, so there was a high probability that he had taken refuge.
This news is not a secret.
Most of the people here know that the shopkeeper Wang and the Hubu Shangshu are very close.
The book of the household department also gave the king a lot of convenience.
For example, the convoy of rice and noodles transported by the merchant houses in various places in the king's shopkeeper, no matter which city it entered, it would be exempted from some taxes.
But most of them are used for people's livelihood and disaster relief, which is a good thing, and everyone agrees with and supports it.
You can't let the king's shopkeeper spend money on carts, horses, and money, send rice and noodles to a city, and then pay the tax for the goods to enter the city, right?
The crowd understood.
"The king's shopkeeper." When Zhang Feng saw the shopkeeper saluting, he also nodded slightly, and he took the prince's style very well, but he was not rude.
This is also to be honest, no matter how big the wealth is, it will definitely not be comparable to a country.
Even if the treasurer of the king, who was a rich man, was a rising monk, there were seven in the Great Qi court, and each of them was far stronger than him.
Zhang Feng doesn't need to be too polite, so as to save the face of the imperial court.
In addition, the shopkeeper Wang helped the court and invited him to come, which is already very face-saving.
In terms of etiquette in this world, it can be regarded as the vastness of Longen, which has fulfilled his grace in helping the world, and has also made him famous among the people.
But no one knows about the great kindness and personal affection of the king's treasurer for adding gold and silver to the treasury, and no one can say this.
You must know that at this time, you noticed that there are many envoys from other countries here, and there are some people in the rivers and lakes, and famous people in the world.
They are not fools.
As long as Zhang Feng dared to say it, then they would definitely be curious if there was any ulterior deal between the two?
If the matter of the shortage of silver taels in the treasury is found out, then the conspiracy between the king's treasurer and the household department Shangshu, as well as the plan of the saint, will also be disrupted.
This is related to the fortune of the country and the dragon qi, and it is related to the cultivation bonus.
Zhang Feng would never allow such a thing to happen.
Similarly, the shopkeeper Wang also acted in the first place, looking like he was talking with the prince, but he was embarrassed by the six members of the false introduction team, "Lord Wang, these six Taoist friends are..."
"The king knows." Zhang Feng's words were calm, "The matter of taxation was done by General Hu asked this king." ”
"The prince is aware of the people's feelings!" The shopkeeper of the king chased after him, and said: "But because of the tax exemption, these six Taoist friends want to personally thank the prince, and the grass people have the courage to introduce them on their behalf." ”
"As a rising monk, the king's shopkeeper is a monk who has helped the world." Zhang Feng took a few steps forward, "This is self-deprecating, but it is self-defeating." ”
"The prince taught me a lesson!" The shopkeeper hurriedly saluted.
The six members of the team also bowed down excitedly, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Zhang Feng saw that more and more people were paying attention to him, and he no longer concealed it, but went around the screen, preparing to go out of the palace and talk outside, not wanting to affect the discussion of everyone in the palace.
But when Zhang Feng walked out of the hall, the people who were seated or talking on both sides, regardless of their official position, fame, or strength, all clasped their fists and saluted when the prince passed in front of them.
With the moment when Zhang Feng walked outside the hall, all the guests in the entire hall at this time were saluting and looking at the prince under the moon outside the hall.
