The dining room is not particularly large, but considering that it is on a chariot, it is already extremely spacious, and the whole dining room only has a long table of gilded nanmu that can only accommodate 10 people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The walls and roof of the restaurant are decorated with the relief carvings of the Nine Dragons Star and Moon Pattern that symbolize the royal family, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, the ground is a piece of marble that can not be seen at all, and the patterns are also connected together.

There were already 5 people seated at the table, Jiang Baiyuan sat in the main seat in the middle, Helena, Wu Yuyi, and Leng Lingye were on his left side in turn, and only two people sat on the right side, that is, Lu Mang, who looked at Nan Bo, and another middle-aged man in military uniform, and behind Lu Mang, there was also a burly man who Nan Bo also knew, Lu Zhufeng, the head of the Wind Chaser Corps.

Zhang Chehan was also very surprised by the sudden appearance of Lu Mang and others, and was stunned at the door for a long time before he remembered to take Nan Bo and Nana together to perform the Jin Jianli that he had emphasized many times along the way.

Nanbo, who walked to the table, pulled Lanana's sleeve and motioned for her to sit down in the main guest seat directly opposite Jiang Baiyuan, and then walked to his deputy guest seat on the right side and sat down quietly.

From the moment he entered the door, Nanbo tried his best to control his body and make every movement as natural as possible, but the final sitting down still seemed a little stiff. Although it was only a luncheon, because of the presence of the middle-aged man in the gorgeous robe on the right side of the table, there was a little more suffocating depression.

The strange atmosphere made everyone silent, the whole restaurant was quiet, and you could almost hear each other's breathing, but silence does not mean calm, everyone in the restaurant could feel that there were two completely different auras engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Nan Bo, who adjusted his sitting posture, swept around the few people present, and finally focused on the two people who dominated the "silent war".

As soon as he entered the door, Nan Bo noticed that Jiang Baiyuan seemed to be engrossed in fiddling with something, and he hadn't looked up until they entered the door. When he approached at this moment, he found that Jiang Baiyuan had a very elegant and extremely delicate pear wood tea table in front of him, and he was concentrating on making tea, watching the tea flow into the porcelain cup at an even flow rate, and striking a circle of ripples that were almost the same regardless of size, Nan Bo suddenly looked at Jiang Baiyuan a little impressed.

Although I don't know what happened before I came in, it is not difficult to guess from Zhang Chehan's surprised reaction that the sudden appearance of Lu Mang and the others here did not seem to be arranged in advance, but an accident. Judging from the current strange atmosphere, the forces of the two sides are not harmonious, and the unexpected appearance of the other party should be more fright than surprise for Jiang Baiyuan's side, and judging from the more or less solemn faces of Helena and the others, and Lu Mang's momentum, it is obvious that the situation is not favorable to the prince's side.

Although Nan Bo doesn't understand the tea ceremony, he has also read some related books, and knows that the tea ceremony is a kind of life art that uses tea to cultivate oneself and pay attention to the state of mind.

After the first few contacts, Nan Bo always felt that Jiang Baiyuan, like his father Emperor Wen, was an elegant, gentle and affectionate person, but lacked courage and was not strong-willed. Such a person may be a good husband and a good friend, but he is definitely not a good emperor, especially for Huaxia, which is in turmoil and internal and external troubles.

But now he can still maintain his unique calm under the pressure of Lu Mang's domineering, at least it shows that he is tenacious, and it is likely that he is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, coupled with the courage and action he showed in the "Prince's New Deal", Nan Bo suddenly felt that if Jiang Baiyuan could successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor of Huaxia, maybe this declining country still had a glimmer of hope for rising.

Just when Nanbo was looking forward to the future of Huaxia, Jiang Baiyuan had already handed a freshly filled celadon teacup to Lu Mang, and then made a gesture to invite the other party to taste.

Lu Mang withdrew his scrutinizing gaze after Nanbo took his seat, continued to look at Jiang Baiyuan, and remained silent, even when the tea was delivered to him, he didn't speak, this was a faint smile at Jiang Baiyuan, nodded slightly, took the azure teacup, took a sip gently, and then closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing, and thought about what he was thinking, and only after a long time did he put down the teacup, and calmly said a meaningful word, breaking the long silence.

"Your Highness has grown."

"This is also thanks to Premier Lu's teaching and encouragement to me." Jiang Baiyuan smiled slightly, and changed Lu Mang with a new cup of tea before speaking.

"Your Highness has praised it." Lu Mang didn't continue to taste the tea handed by Jiang Baiyuan, and after answering with a smile, he suddenly got up and dusted off his robe, and then continued: "Okay, the tea has passed, and the ministers have already said what they should say. ”

"Since Premier Lu is here, how can there be any reason to leave the banquet before it starts, does the Prime Minister think that we are not worthy of the same table with you?" Helena took the tea handed over by Jiang Baiyuan, just took two breaths of white gas, and before she could taste it, she heard that Lu Mang was about to leave the table, put down the teacup again, and said with some anger.

"Dean Helian laughed, the old man also wants to have a few drinks with His Royal Highness, but now there are floods in the south of China, and drought in the north, there are too many mundane things waiting for the old man to deal with, this time the old man came to Xihua, first, he was entrusted by His Majesty to present the opinions of the various ministries and provinces in the central capital to His Royal Highness, but more importantly, he went to Xijing to discuss with the anti-government army the people's livelihood issues in the southwest of Xihuazhou." Regarding Helena's sarcasm, Lu Mang did not show any displeasure, but explained more pleasantly.

"Negotiating with the rebels, is the situation in Xijing turbulent again?" Jiang Baiyuan has been in Xihuazhou for 4 days, and it stands to reason that he should know about something in Xijing before Zhongdu, so after listening to Lu Mang's words, he asked quite suspiciously.

"Your Highness is too worried, it's just that the situation in Xijing is stable, but the area controlled by the Fang government army is full of natural disasters today, and there is a shortage of food, like Your Majesty proposed peace talks, although the anti-government army is the biggest hidden danger in China, but the people are still the people of China after all, so Your Majesty still entrusts me to negotiate with them on the lifting of the ban on people's biological resources, and the negotiations will start tomorrow, and the time is pressing, so I will leave first." After Lu Mang explained Jiang Baiyuan's question a little, he turned around and walked directly out of the door, and glanced at the people on the table during his actions.

Lu Mang's glance flashed, but Nanbo had a strange feeling, always feeling that the other party had a brief pause in his gaze on him and Nana.

This feeling made Nan Bo very uncomfortable, he really couldn't think of any intersection between himself and the prime minister of Huaxia, in fact, from the moment he entered the door, most of his attention was on the other party, because he felt a trace of danger from this middle-aged man who exuded the smell of power all over his body, especially the eyes of the other party who looked at him at the beginning, he always felt a little strange, but he couldn't say it for a while.

After Lu Mang left the table, the middle-aged man in military uniform and the head of the wind chaser also bowed to the prince and withdrew from the banquet together, during which except for the prince who responded with a smile, everyone did not speak, until Lu Mang and the others walked away, Zhang Chehan asked with a suspicious face: "What's going on?" How could he be here? And just gone? ”

"Hmph, the person is gone, but he left behind a joint impeachment letter from 13 ministries and provinces, a summons order from the Special Investigation Committee of the Ministry of Justice, and a personal interrogation from His Majesty." Zhang Chehan's words were originally asked to Wu Yu beside him, but it was Helena who answered his question first.

"Impeachment letter!? Summons Order!? And His Majesty's inquiry!? Should I be so fierce? These people are crazy, even the prince dares to impeach, they are going to rebel!? Although Zhang Chehan obviously felt anger from his aunt's tone, in other words, he would usually choose to shut up or pat a few sycophants, in short, he would not touch his head, but this time Helena's words surprised him too much, so he couldn't help but continue to ask.

"The prince's tea ceremony has really improved." Helena didn't answer immediately to her nephew's exclamation, she just glanced at him, then picked up the teacup, took two sips, praised Jiang Baiyuan first, and then said lightly: "Of course they are not crazy, so they did not impeach the prince, it was me who impeached." ”

"Huh!? Impeach aunt you? What to impeach you? Depend on! Who dares to impeach you, master, when I go back to Zhongdu, I will let his family cut off the incense! As soon as Helena's words spoke, Zhang Chehan jumped up directly.

"Don't mess around, this matter is not something that your junior can get involved in, they are now impeaching our country for private use, do you still want them to add a charge of abetting murder." Although Helena reprimanded Zhang Chehan harshly, his heart was warm, because he knew that this nephew, who had been very close to him since he was a child, was definitely not just a few cruel words to please himself, when he was 11 years old, he really tore the other party's mouth because the young son of the president of the Judicial Yuan scolded him for being an 'old virgin who couldn't get married'. Thinking of Zhang Chehan's stubbornness when he refused to admit his mistake when he died, the original unhappiness in his heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Don't worry, if you want to impeach me Helena, these people are not enough." As if to appease Zhang Chehan, who moved the real fire, Helena added another sentence.

"Hmph, Auntie, don't worry, even if I don't clean up those old guys, I have a way to clean them up, I know a lot about those old things in private, whoever impeaches you will report his fierce news." After being reprimanded, Zhang Chehan calmed down and sat down in his position, but obviously his anger did not subside, and he snorted coldly.

"Although the joint impeachment of various ministries and provinces is ostensibly aimed at the president, in the final analysis, it is still a confrontation against His Highness's 'Prince's New Deal', after all, this reform touches the interests of many people, and they can't find an excuse to stop His Highness, so they will think of impeaching the president. So their purpose should just be to contain the head hospital, so what special committee's questioning should be just a passing scene, and there is no need to worry, the key is His Majesty's questioning, if His Majesty really can't withstand the pressure... In short, if we lose the support of His Majesty, our reform will be extremely difficult, so I wonder if we are... Wu Yu, who had been pondering, suddenly opened his mouth to analyze the current situation, but just as he was about to say a conclusion, he was interrupted by Jiang Baiyuan.
