CHAPTER XIV
The emperor's banquet was held as scheduled, and all the ministers came with their families. And Gu Fuyang only came with his son. As Gu Jiahui expected, the prime minister did ask why his daughter and granddaughter didn't come, and Gu Fuyang's answer was the same as Gu Jiahui thought. On the grounds that Gu Yanxi was sick, the eldest lady was not worried about being taken care of by others, so she stayed at home to take care of it. And the prime minister did not doubt it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past year, with the help of all the courtiers, I have been able to sit firmly in this country, and the people have been able to live and work in peace and contentment." Before the banquet, the emperor thanked the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." β
"Thank you for the emperor's grace. The ministers replied in unison.
"Father, my sons and daughters have brought a few jars of good wine from the people, and I want to share them with my father and all the ministers today." The four princes ordered someone to bring up the wine, and opened the lids of the five jars of wine, and the aroma instantly emitted.
"Yi'er, this wine is really sweet." The emperor will not only sigh when he smells the smell. "Pour the wine to all Aiqing."
The subordinates poured these wines to the princes and princes, and everyone opened the wine until the color of the wine was red, and they all looked embarrassed. Just like Zhu Hanyi's expression when he saw the wine for the first time that day.
"Fourth brother, you dare to give this kind of thing to your father?" The fifth prince, Zhu Hanli, looked at the contents of the wine glass, "I don't know if the things from the people are safe." My father is the backbone of this country, could it be that he wants to rebel? β
Zhu Hanli is the son of Concubine Mei, and this Concubine Mei and the noble people are attached to the concubine and do not agree with the queen and others. Naturally, Concubine Mei's son wants to find fault with the four princes.
"Fifth brother is really good at laughing, if I have the intention of rebellion, why should I be in front of such a big day today?" Zhu Hanyi sneered, "Moreover, I tried it beforehand, otherwise I wouldn't have given everyone a drink." In such a harmonious day, my father spent it happily in order to make everyone united. As soon as the fifth brother said this, the atmosphere instantly cooled down, destroying the harmony. This is not the truth of being a human servant. β
The emperor was in good health and never set up the position of crown prince. This is also the reason why the princes have been coveting. All kinds of events emerge one after another, and no one will let anyone take advantage of it.
"Okay, fourth brother, fifth brother. A rare good day, since the fourth brother said that there is no problem, it will naturally not harm us. The Seventh Prince, Zhu Hanang, immediately eased the atmosphere.
The seventh prince is the heir of the jade concubine, and this jade concubine also has a princess who ranks third, named Zhu Hanjin. The jade concubine is the queen's person, which is the camp distribution of the harem.
"It is inevitable that people will have doubts, and this wine is the product of a hermit, and it is sold only on the first and fifteenth days of the month, and only five jars of wine are sold at a time. This rare wine is not something that everyone is lucky enough to taste. Since everyone is not at ease, I will drink the first cup first. Zhu Hanyi raised his wine glass and drank it all, and then signaled to everyone that it was non-toxic, and everyone raised their wine glasses to taste this deliciousness.
When they tasted this wine, everyone sighed and sighed.
"Yi'er, I don't know what the name of this wine is?" The Emperor was pleased with the taste of the wine.
"Back to my father, this wine is called red wine. Named after the color, the hermit said that the wine was made from grapes. At first, Erchen also felt very strange and was able to taste it. So I bought this wine and enjoyed it with everyone. "The four princes know very well that you just haven't tasted it and are confused, it's not that this red wine is not delicious." It's a rare wine. I hope my father likes it. β
"I do love this precious wine." The emperor was very satisfied with this red wine, "I don't know when I will have the opportunity to drink this wine." β
Everyone soon understood what the emperor meantβhe wanted to drink red wine often.
Everyone was about to move, and the four princes had just said where to buy this wine, and they all paid attention to it.
Zhu Hanyi looked at everyone's reactions, it seemed that Gu Jiahui's goal had been achieved. The corners of Zhu Hanyi's mouth rose slightly, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
"Fourth brother, what are you thinking? They all laughed. Seeing this scene, Zhu Hanang, the seventh prince, came over, "Could it be that which of the daughters of the ministers here has entered the eyes of the fourth brother?" β
"No, there will always be a little wild cat in Fuchu these days. This little wild cat is very cute, but she never touches me, and she doesn't want to stay in my house. That sharp claw scratched my heart. In Zhu Hanyi's view, Gu Jiahui is a little wild cat. This little wild cat will post it when it gives benefits, and when you want to touch it, you will scratch it with your backhand, and you will be very arrogant.
"Your Majesty, General Peng won the battle a few days ago, it is really the glory of our dynasty!" A minister raised the matter.
General Peng Linggang is the victorious general of Huang Yuguo, this general's reputation is outside, and people on this continent know about his existence. General Peng is only in his forties, and he has been fighting all year round, and he has almost won every battle. And just as famous as his military exploits was his love for his wife, and General Peng married only one lady.
This lady followed General Peng on the battlefield, and she was resourceful and a military advisor in General Peng's army. General Peng and his wife had four children, all of whom were born during the war, so the names of the children were related to the position of the war at that time.
The eldest young master Peng Yaosheng, the second young master Peng Yusheng, the third young lady Peng Yusheng, and the fourth young master Peng Qisheng. The oldest is in his early twenties, but the three young masters are good at fighting on the battlefield like generals, and the third young lady is also like a mother, a resourceful military advisor.
The emperor's country sat firmly thanks to the blessing of General Peng's family.
"It is the honor of the old minister to be able to protect this country for His Majesty." General Peng didn't take credit for it, "The old minister is not as good as this literati and elegant man who can always accompany His Majesty, only this brute force is enough to be able to guard His Majesty's land on the frontier." β
"General Peng was modest," the emperor never worried that General Peng would rebel, just because he never took credit for it, and he was humble and kind. Now that the reputation is outside, it has also made countries fearful, and the emperor can sit on this country more firmly. "Now that Yu Sheng is sixteen, right, he will be crowned a county lord, okay?"
"Wechen thanked the emperor."
"The little girl thanked the emperor."
Peng Yusheng is very beautiful and is known to everyone. The people who came to propose relatives broke the threshold, and Peng Yusheng did not meet a lover who wanted to be entrusted for life. General Peng also said that as long as my daughter chooses what she likes, she can afford to raise her even if she doesn't marry me.
General Peng's words made Peng Yusheng even less anxious to get married, and the outside world was also praising General Peng for feeling sorry for his daughter. I don't want my only baby daughter to suffer any grievances.
The outside world is also rumored that Peng Yusheng already has someone he wants to marry, but people don't agree.
