Chapter 317: A Thousand Autumn Feast

Cheng Ziyu received the news from Zhu Chang'an's courtyard a quarter of an hour later.

She smiled, all in her expectation, Jin Yu's suffering really began, and the chickens, flying dogs and jumping in Zhu Changan's backyard would not stop.

And what she was more concerned about was what Zhu Changan said when he went to the emperor last night.

Li Chun lived up to expectations, and Liu Er soon received the news.

"Can he really pry open Father-in-law's mouth?" Cheng Ziyu didn't have much hope.

Because she knew in her previous life that her father-in-law was very tight-mouthed, she had tried before, but regardless of money or other inducements, her father-in-law did his duty as an emperor and his predecessors. What shouldn't be said, no matter how much silver it is, he doesn't miss a word.

"Father-in-law Yu and his master are the emperor's most trusted, in the past, the two of them were either one mile and one outside, or one left and one right stayed by the emperor's side, and they got along with each other a little tacit understanding."

Liu Er lowered her voice: "Sister Xia Wei said that the master and Father-in-law Yu have a personal relationship. ”

Cheng Ziyu's eyes lit up.

In her previous life, Father-in-law Yu didn't stand in anyone's camp, and before she died, he was the same as Li Chun, and it seemed that only the emperor was his master.

But everyone knows that Father-in-law Yu, as the head of the chamberlain, has great power. Regardless of anything else, he is still in charge of Shang Bao Prison. In other words, the emperor's jade seal, treasure talisman, and general seal letter are all in his hands.

And Li Chun...... In addition to the emperor's personal soldiers, when the emperor's body collapsed and he was suspicious, he handed over the Imperial Forest Army to Li Chun.

The corners of Cheng Ziyu's mouth twitched, and he was full of confidence.

If the emperor can't do it one day, as long as he has that thought, he will cooperate with his father-in-law Yu inside and outside, not to mention choosing the emperor, and even supporting the puppet emperor, even if it is to fight for the world......

She couldn't help but sigh.

In her previous life, when Li Chun stopped her in the Imperial Garden, if she really gambled with Li Chun, or if Zhu Changan really gave her away, maybe she didn't have to die, the Cheng family wouldn't fall, and Li Chun wouldn't be victimized, everything would be different......

Liu Er was still talking, and Cheng Ziyu quickly pulled her thoughts back.

"Father-in-law Yu said that the emperor only saw him based on the recent performance of the four princes. As soon as the fourth prince arrived last night, he said that he had an idea. He had a way of doubling the royal family's income. The emperor glanced at him, and when he saw that he was swearing, he was obviously interested, and asked him to continue, but he hinted that he had to say it privately. So Yu's father-in-law was sent to guard the door. ”

"Probably because of this, Father-in-law Yu was upset, and when the master probed this morning, Father-in-law Yu couldn't hold it back, and he spit it out all of his scolding and hatred......"

"Wait! Zhu Changan said, generate income for the royal family? Not the imperial court? ”

Liu Er nodded again and again.

"It's the royal family, the slave remembers it clearly."

"Well, you go ahead."

"Then, they were talking inside, but they couldn't hear it outside, and Father-in-law Yu didn't know it."

"Where's Jin Yu? She also saw the emperor? ”

"Yes, Jin Yu was summoned to go in. When the door was closed, Father-in-law Yu heard the emperor ask her what she was good at. After that, Father-in-law Yu didn't know anymore. Later, the Four Princes and Jin Yu were quite excited when they came out. The emperor's expression is also good. When Father-in-law Yu went in to serve the emperor, the emperor was still muttering: If he wants to toss, he will give him a chance to make trouble, and he will not have many surprises, I hope that he will not be embarrassed and become a ......"

"It's not going to be that, is it?"

"The girl is wise. Later, the emperor also announced that Gonggong Cai, who was in charge of the internal affairs, and asked him to take a letter of silver to the four princes. The specific amount is not known to my father-in-law. Then the emperor rested. ”

"It's not easy to hear so much."

Cheng Ziyu began to think carefully.

The inner treasury is the emperor's private treasury, that is, the emperor's private silver. The emperor took his own silver and gave it to Zhu Chang'an? is in response to what Zhu Changan said: "Generate income for the royal family"? ……

Emperors spend enormously, and each emperor has his own small coffer. The emperor will quietly make profits and make money outside, and he will also let his henchmen invest in private property; Some emperors would even invest their silver in salt transportation, using huge revenues to maintain huge expenditures.

Zhu Changan can actually say that the emperor will come out with silver?

Does he have the ability to help the emperor take care of a certain investment?

What the emperor is tempted by is either a million profits, or the benefits are huge and stable, or there is no need to worry about it!

What bad idea did he give to the emperor and what assurances did he make?

Jin Yu was also involved, and the emperor asked Jin Yu what he was good at, was that ......

No way?

What can Jin Yu be good at? Jin Yu grew up in the Cheng family, in addition to Tao, what else is she proficient in! Zhu Changan, does he want to fight Tao's idea?

But just by the level of Jin Yu's half-? At this time, Jin Yu is only fourteen, and she has only learned half a bucket of water in many skills, she doesn't have that confidence! She didn't even have the recipe for the mud in her hands, let alone the level of firing.

If it's true, I can only say ...... Quite an appetite!

But the emperor is not a fool, since he really gave the silver, it means that the emperor also wants to give it a try. Is it that the benefits they throw out are too tempting, or are they really eloquent? ……

Cheng Ziyu has always been obsessed with one thing: at the last moment of her previous life, when she returned to Jingxi, the entire Jingxi pottery market was almost wiped out, the price of pottery had collapsed, and the victims were everywhere and full of devastation. The wealth of the past has been reduced to ashes, and this side of the land may be suppressed, but where has that market gone?

At that time, she suspected that the market of Jingxi Tao had been moved.

There is demand, there is naturally a market and production, and it is absolutely impossible for a huge industry to disappear out of thin air, so there is only one possibility, it has been changed places!

If her guess is correct, then in that situation in her previous life, the most likely person to do this is Zhu Changan! And his biggest helper is naturally indispensable to Jin Yu.

Maybe in addition to suppressing himself, this is one of the reasons why he must find Jin Yu and keep Jin Yu by his side? Last night, for the sake of Jin Yu, he spent a lot of money, even regardless of his reputation, regardless of Concubine Zhao, I am afraid that he has already had more far-reaching plans!

He has more tempering in his previous life, and he also has more experience in those four years, and from now on, it is the real battle!

Cheng Ziyu always felt that Zhu Changan still had a backhand that he didn't expect. Maybe it's because he's been pressing him hard lately that he was forced to make an early move.

I hope I'm just worrying about it......

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the seven-day celebration of the Queen Mother's birthday began.

Since the Buddha has been worshiped in Qixia Temple yesterday, the process is much easier today.

The queen mother wore a heavy dress and begged for heaven and earth, and begged for good weather and peace for the country, and then sat high and accepted everyone to bow down and congratulate.

Then the emperor gave the emblem salute and added the emblem of "respecting longevity" to the queen mother.

The emperor personally issued a holy decree to bless the Queen Mother for a long time. Exemption from arrears of taxes, universal celebration, universal amnesty. The emperor was kind and filial, and in the name of the queen mother, he issued several charitable and filial piety deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, and repaired the temple Buddha in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to pray for the queen mother.

The "Ninety-Nine Birthday Gifts" from the capital have been listed in a booklet and arrived at the emperor's hands at a speed of 800 miles. In order to celebrate, Guangzhou shipped the Jade Pavilion, Hubei dedicated the crystal building, so the treasure is full of eighty-one. In addition, all subject countries and foreign countries also continued to pay tribute, and it took more than two quarters of an hour for the ceremonial officials to report one by one.

After that, the crowd lined up and began to parade in a mighty way, receiving blessings from all the peoples.

For a time, the sky was full of flowers and praise.

Birthday operas come and go, and the eyes are full of peaceful and festive colors. The main roads and paths are lit up, and the large and small stages are lined up one after another. Divide the ground and put up lights, cut ribbons for flowers, tune from south to north, dance shirts and sing fans. The queen mother rode on a golden chariot, the emperor rode a horse to lead, the royal car passed, and the people knelt to greet him.

The sky is full of flowers, coins are sprinkled everywhere, and there are cheers again and again, no one is blessed, and no one is not grateful to the emperor.

It was nearly noon when a few main streets were finished.

The Emperor announced the beginning of the feast.

The flowing water banquet in front of Pan's house was lined up for two streets. The whole Jinling City has opened nine pie happy spots, flowing water to distribute Ruyi vegetables, braised pork, longevity noodles, longevity peach buns and red eggs......

The Pan family had a big feast.

The main banquet venue has been prepared for a long time, but today is the first time that the true face is revealed.

It is said that the Pan family, which had opened up several large mansions, demolished the entire six courtyards and bulldozed a large area of the bamboo forest, plum forest and peach forest before picking up the main banquet hall.

The banquet was built outdoors, which was the meaning of the Queen Mother. She has been detained in the palace for decades, and she has long been impatient with the suffocation.

Now the next feast is wrapped in the beautiful scenery full of vitality, the pavilions and pavilions are close in front of you, there are birds and flowers everywhere, several large pavilions can each set more than a dozen tables, but they are scattered and built in the scene, do not see the clichΓ©, everywhere is elegant, the queen mother is very satisfied.

At that moment, the Queen Mother praised Zhu Changan and Zhu Changzhe, who were in charge of the banquet, and rewarded a jade Ruyi and a pair of jade bottles. The head of the Pan family even received the bounty of the Queen Mother and a large number of rewards.

Today, obviously, as long as you are clever, everyone will be rewarded.

According to the rules, such a banquet was to be held for nine consecutive days, and the Queen Mother was frugal and did not want to disturb the people, so she took the initiative to ask to be shortened to seven days.

Therefore, in the next seven days, according to the rules, children and grandchildren must surround the queen mother's knees to accompany them to fulfill their filial piety.

Sitting in the main pavilion, the queen mother sat down at the main table, surrounded by the emperor, the queen and the concubines, and was beaming. Cheng Ziyu got the grace of the Queen Mother and also got a place in the main pavilion. But although she sat remotely, occupying a seat in a group of royal relatives still made her feel a little uneasy.

Li Chun was also sitting in the main pavilion, his position was biased towards the aisle, and everyone who came and went had to pass in front of him, obviously he still had a layer of defense responsibility.

The people sitting in the main pavilion are considered nobles, and the seats will not move easily. This means that if there is no accident, she will not be able to feel comfortable in the next few days, which made Cheng Ziyu breathe a sigh of relief.

She would rather sit far away and sit quietly. I don't know where my grandfather sits, and if my mother and Hongyu have come? Are they sitting in the outer garden, or are they also on the grounds?

According to the usual practice, she could not move freely until the second half of the feast, and she could only endure it a little longer.

Before the official banquet, according to the rules, the emperor offered gifts.

According to the ritual system, the emperor offered 10,000 taels of silver, 300 pieces of large and small pearl strings, 300 pieces of large and small coral beads, 63 forged yarns for the upper parts, and 37 forged yarns for officials......

Then the emperor announced the opening of the feast.

The palace ladies rushed to the table, and the delicacies were put on the table.

The emperor and queen led everyone to invite the queen mother to dine again, and after the queen mother tasted three dishes, the banquet officially began.

The neon dress bends open, and the feather coat dances.

The queen took the lead and began to offer gifts, and the queen offered a Buddha of Amitayus made of red gold. Then came the eldest prince, the crown princess representing the crown prince, and all the princes, began to offer gifts one by one......

Merchants like the Cheng family obviously can't take their turn at the luncheon. It is estimated that it will be until the dinner party at the earliest.

The eldest prince presented an antique jade bottle, and the prince's gift was a genuine birthday picture of a famous family in the previous dynasty and a unique hand-copied Buddhist scripture. The gifts given by the two princes are of extraordinary origin, each worth at least 50,000 taels, and it is a great deal of thought.

The queen mother praised the two, and the crown princess got the queen's signal and personally stood beside the queen mother to help Bucai.

When it came to Zhu Chang'an, like Wenlan, Cheng Ziyu also paid great attention. They all want to see what Zhu Changan's birthday gift finally tossed out after several twists and turns......

Because they do not belong to the royal family, but they have their own "precious", so today's seats of Wenlan and Cheng Ziyu are sitting next to each other.

Facing Zhu Changan, Wen Lan sneered softly, and Cheng Ziyu hooked her lips slightly, which can be regarded as a bit of tacit understanding.

Cheng Ziyu raised her glass and toasted Wen Lan, Wen Lan raised her head and drank it, and the two of them laughed and hated.

"I just went to collect debts from Concubine Zhao, and she said that she would send me the silver ticket after the banquet." Vinland laughed. "Where did she get the money?"

It should have moved the emperor's money first, Cheng Ziyu laughed.

"Then I'll go collect the debt later."

If Zhu Changan can repay Wenlan's silver, and also take out the remaining two thousand taels to buy gold and jade in one go, it will at least mean that the emperor has given a large amount of silver to be "tossed" by him. The amount given by the Emperor must be directly proportional to the feasibility of his plan!

And Cheng Ziyu really wanted to see how much confidence Zhu Changan had......

Zhu Changan, who was presenting, did not look good.

He stroked the wound, slowly knelt on the ground with the support of the left and right, and finally just offered a decent white jade Guanyin.

This was obviously prepared by Wang Yue.

Zhu Changan was a little embarrassed, and the Empress Dowager knew his situation, so she called out without saltiness.

Cheng Ziyu also felt that this gift was too ordinary.

All the princes are thinking about winning by surprise, at least they have to reflect their minds, right? But this white jade Guanyin, the Queen Mother has at least dozens of statues. I remember that in the days of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in the previous life, more than 20 Guanyin statues were received, and Zhu Changan could not be impressed.

Thinking about it, this is the result of Wang Yue's reluctance to invest in it, and Zhu Changan has no other choice.

Even Vinland stabbed: "Shame"......

It was Zhu Changzhe's turn to play.

A brocade box has been carried to the Queen Mother. When opened, there was a huge jade longevity peach inside.

"Not bad!" The Queen Mother's head.

"This longevity peach received nine hundred and eighty-one days of incense in front of the Buddha, and asked the imperial grandmother to accept the blessing."

"Good!" The Queen Mother stepped forward to hold the peach with her clean hand, but saw that the peach burst open. The Queen Mother's face changed from surprise to joy, and finally smiled.

A small jade peach the size of a pink baby's fist is rolling out of the big peach, extremely joyful, extremely cute, and extremely pleasing......

Cheng Ziyu was surprised, but Wen Lan coughed softly at her.

Following Wen Lan's gesture, it was Wang Yue......
