Chapter 236: Regret
When his eyes saw Li Heng dozens of feet away, a happy smile appeared on his old ruddy face, and then his eyes slipped away from Li Heng and began to inspect the guests in the other VIP seats.
On the left side of the battle mystery, there is a kind old man sitting upright, the old man is holding a whisk and wearing a crane feather coat, like a fairy.
Behind the old man, there was a row of princes and princesses.
Without exception, they all sat upright, their eyes lowered and they did not dare to make any moves.
But people who are a little closer to the Taihe Hall have seen a strange phenomenon, of course, this phenomenon is not strange, but those who have a heart will understand it after a little pondering.
That is, the fifteenth prince Zhan Suifeng, who was in charge of the power of the Criminal Department, sat in a very unusual position, and he sat in the middle of all the princes and princesses.
According to common sense, there is only one such case.
Fighting with the wind, he will be the prince of the Yanlian country, the future emperor of this country!
The war mystery arranged this way, and also told everyone in advance that I had already chosen a successor, and my fifteenth son would inherit the throne and become the next emperor after me.
"Hey, it seems that the old emperor has made up his mind and is determined to pass on the throne to Suifeng, otherwise he would not have let him sit in such a conspicuous place. ”
Li Heng looked at Zhan Suifeng in a golden python robe, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The more majestic this kid is, the old emperor must be very relieved to hand over the country to him. ”
............
After the old emperor came out, the atmosphere in the square was a little more serious, but with the old emperor's witty words, most of the officials present let go.
They came to eat birthday wine, not to meet them, and after thinking about this reason, the hanging hearts of officials everywhere slowly calmed down, and they sat up straight one by one, hoping that the old emperor could glance at himself when he inspected below.
Zhan Xuanji squinted his eyes and looked around for a moment, feeling very satisfied, Long Yan smiled happily: "I invited you here today, the purpose is to chat together, talk about common things, those cumbersome etiquette will be lost for the time being, and since I am serving the birthday wine, you all have to give me this face, whoever doesn't get drunk will not want to leave the palace." ”
After the old emperor finished speaking, he smiled first, then picked up the teacup, drank the tea by himself, but glanced at the old eunuch standing on the right.
The old eunuch, who was hunched up, nodded knowingly, held a bright yellow golden silk silk in his hand, pulled his sharp voice, and began to chant:
"Today's people who came to celebrate their birthday are the queen of Tianfeng Kingdom, Li Longji, the prince of Dali of Yunxia Kingdom, and Zhao Yiming, the prince of Dayan Kingdom, ............. ”
The old eunuch was verbose, and it took him enough tea to read out all the names of the VIPs from the six countries of the Nine Desolations.
After all these things are done, the next thing is the grand luncheon.
Countless young palace maids with beautiful faces walked out of the palace with a smile on their faces, holding plates of delicacies and refreshing wines in their hands.
When he arrived, the whole palace was fragrant, especially the officials from all over the country who had stood in line for a long time were hungry with gold stars in their eyes, their chests were close to their backs, and they suddenly saw so many delicacies in the world, and they were as if they had never eaten a full meal in their lives, and their mouths were full of saliva.
But they didn't dare to move their chopsticks yet.
The old emperor hasn't moved his chopsticks yet, and if he gives them a few more guts, they don't dare to speak first.
"Huh!"
Zhan Xuanji also knew that officials from all over the country had suffered a lot for this birthday banquet, especially many people who left early in the morning without breakfast, so they lined up here early in the morning, and if they were not allowed to eat two bites, it was estimated that someone would really faint in the square.
He laughed twice, and the old eunuch next to him, who was standing silently beside Zhan Xuanji, poured a glass of wine with interest, and then took the wine jug and did not put it on the case.
"I know that everyone is hungry, and I don't want to talk more nonsense, but today I will give you a drink, and then you can play as you want, don't be restrained. ”
The old emperor held the wine glass, raised his head, and drank three taels of wine.
Although he is already a hundred and fifty-year-old man, but the body of the world, the heroic momentum is still undiminished, after drinking a glass of wine, the old emperor laughed twice, waved his sleeves, and shouted: "Happy!"
"Happy!"
More than 6,000 people in the square also shouted in unison, and the sound was like piercing gold cracked stones, huge and boundless.
"Whew... Whew!"
The old emperor made an order, and those officials were no longer restrained, and they immediately devoured it, but some officials also drank wine reservedly and had a drink with their colleagues around them.
But in any case, the palace began to become lively, and the festive and lively atmosphere spread in every corner of the palace, and before you knew it, the voices of the people gradually amplified, and became more noisy and loud than before.
Zhan Xuanji looked at the scene in front of him, and did not feel the slightest bit unhappy, but was very happy and relieved.
He knows.
This is his last birthday, and he is also aware of his own physical condition, but he is afraid that in a long time, he will leave this world, leaving the country he has guarded for a hundred years.
Whether it is the five colors of red dust or the prosperity of the world......
When completely cut off from him.
But he doesn't care, life has long been downplayed, what the old emperor cares about is whether there is anyone who can inherit his unification and help him continue to protect the country.
Now, he's found it.
His son Zhan Suifeng will be an excellent emperor, he will be more prolific than him, and he will build the Yan Lian Kingdom into the first power of the Nine Desolations 6, even if he dies, he will be blind.
"Hehe, hehe!"
Zhan Xuanji thought about his past affairs, his eyes gradually became blurred and blurred, a cup of rice wine was poured into his stomach by him, no one stopped him, although the old eunuch was very distressed about his master's body, but he didn't stop it, just silently poured the wine, the master drank a glass, he poured a glass.
Li Guangguang sat on his left side, silently watching the old emperor pour the wine into his stomach desperately, he smiled faintly, also picked up a glass of wine, and drank it all.
After today's events have passed, the old emperor will no longer have nostalgia for this world, he is tired of life, and he is tired of life.
Death may really be his dream, because there is no more comfortable way to rest than death, now that the overall situation has been decided, a new emperor star will rise in the Yan Lian Country, and he will have no regrets.
"You children have gone down to the bar, and I am too old to have the energy to accompany the drink, so you will greet our guests on my behalf. ”
After Zhan Xuanji drank two catties of wine, he signaled the old eunuch not to add more wine to himself, but said lightly without looking back.
"Yes!"
With the battle with the wind, all the princes and princesses responded in unison.
......
On the palace square with the surging spring tide, the voices of people are boiling, and there is a scene of singing and dancing.
In the open space in the middle of the square, a group of young women dressed in thin colorful clothes, twisting their graceful waists in the warm and cold weather, dancing the famous colorful clouds chasing the moon dance of the Nine Wilderness Da6, making a group of drunken men look straight in their eyes and even drool on their lips.
At this time, a group of princes and princesses who were fighting with the wind walked down the ninth-order stage with wine glasses under the order of the old emperor.
The old emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the battle in front of his brothers and sisters, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He is truly satisfied and relieved of his son, no matter what aspect it is, he thinks that Zhan Suifeng is the most suitable to take over his position, and will become a generation of Ming Jun, so that Yan Lianguo will reach a higher level both militarily and economically.
"My ideals will be realized by relying on you, this child!"
The old emperor took a sip of wine, lowered his raised gaze, then smiled slightly, held the glass that had been refilled with wine, and smiled at Li Guangguang: "Luster, let's have a toast, it's a pity that Wenlong is in charge of the security of Xia Luo City, and it is a pity that he can't accompany me here." ”
Li Guangguang smiled, not polite, drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "If Your Majesty is interested, in the evening, the two of us can accompany Your Majesty to get drunk." ”
