Chapter 103: State Banquet Turmoil (2)

As soon as the red silk was opened, everyone was surprised, it turned out that the gift sent by this party was actually a model of a mansion!

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you have every opportunity and work extra hard for state affairs, so I specially went to the official kiln to let people build a leisure courtyard for the emperor, I hope the emperor likes it!"

Fang Zheng bowed down neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You, you actually made a mansion out of clay for me to relax?Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng, I really don't know what you have in your head?"

Situ Sheng was stunned for a while, the expression on his face could not be said to be happy or angry, anyway, it was very strange!

"The emperor is gracious! The minister hasn't finished talking yet! After the minister has introduced you to the functions of this house one by one, the emperor will definitely like it!"

Fang Zheng arched his hand, turned around and pointed to the model of the mansion and began to introduce.

"This mansion, the minister named it the Palace of Bliss. As soon as you enter the gate, there is a shadow wall of relief nine dragons playing with pearls, and after the shadow wall is the first to enter the house, called Tianfu Palace, which means the blessing of heaven. There are five main rooms in the main house of this Tianfu Palace, which are the guest hall, the study room, the tea room, the painting room, and the sword room. There are three rooms in each side hall, with a rest room, a washroom, and a dining room.

Walking back through the main hall is the second courtyard, named Liyuan Spring. It is a two-storey pavilion, which is connected to the first courtyard by a corridor bridge.

The second entrance is different from the first entrance in that there are only two main rooms, but it is quite spacious. There is a stage built in the house, which is exclusive for leisure and relaxation.

On both sides of the main house, there are dressing rooms for the servants to rest and change their clothes, and all kinds of oil paint are displayed on the counter, and a variety of costumes are hung all over the dressing room.

The third courtyard is slightly separated from the second courtyard because there is a garden in between. There are pavilions and rockery ponds in this park. The garden is full of flowers, the koi fish in the pond are flocks, and the pure lotus spreads incense.

The third entrance to the courtyard is called Yueyin Hall. It is a small cabaret that can accommodate 100 people at the same time. ”

With Fang Zheng's introduction, the eyes of the ministers in the main hall were all projected.

I saw that the dance hall was surrounded by singing and vocal music. Light gauze curtains everywhere, graceful and clear, as if a bewitching dancing fairy is dancing. The artistic conception of that scene, although it is only a clay model, seems to be able to hear the beautiful sound coming from the song pipe.

This clay sculpture garden is simply luxurious! Who else would dare to build such a mansion except for the saints today?

"This fourth entrance is even better! It is called Baimeixuan, and there are a total of 15 wings, and the rooms are connected. Half a moon and a reincarnation, enjoy the most beautiful in the world! Life is like this, the world is like this, wonderful!"

Fang Zheng shook his head, but before he finished speaking, Situ Sheng's face had become as black as the bottom of a pot!

And the civil and military officials in the hall were all surprised and disdainful, this imperial history and government of the capital actually dared to build a mansion privately, confusing the king's heart!

Although this is just a clay model, it is already a big mistake to have this idea! What's more, the emperor has always advocated frugality, and Su Ri himself and the harem are still careful in their use, and now Fang Zheng actually put forward such a ridiculous suggestion, isn't it deliberately embarrassing the emperor?

On such an important occasion of a state banquet, he gave such a gift, I really don't know what he wanted to do!

"Fang Zheng, you are so bold, are you guilty?"

After Fang Zheng's introduction was completed, Situ Sheng slapped the dragon case and immediately shouted angrily!

"Your Majesty, Wechen is terrified! Wechen just wants to build a leisure apartment for the emperor, and Wechen doesn't know where the crime is?"

Fang Zheng said with an innocent face.

"Hmph! Do you know how much manpower, material, and financial resources this mansion will cost? I have always advocated frugality, you don't know! Although the country and the people are now peaceful, this kind of extravagance and waste must not last! Your mansion is both a stage and a singing and dancing venue, and you have actually built a Baimei Xuan, which is simply extravagant! Look at it is just a clay sculpture, it is carved and decorated luxuriously, gold cups and silverware, if such a mansion is really built, I don't know how much people's fat and people's cream will be consumed!"

The more Situ Sheng spoke, the more angry he became, and he pointed at Fang Zheng's nose and scolded: "Okay, you are a courteous and courteous servant! If I don't take off your official hat today, how can I block the mouths of the people! Come on! Pull Fang Zheng down for me!"

"The emperor is angry!"

When the civil and military officials in the main hall saw Situ Sheng going crazy on the spot, they were all panicked and shouted for consolation.

However, no one paid attention, just when the ministers were in chaos, Situ Chi, who was originally full of pride, looked anxious and weak, took advantage of the unpreparedness, quietly approached Xuanyuan Wuzhen on the side, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

When Xuanyuan Wuzhen heard this, his face showed a little doubt, but under Situ Chi's strong signal, he summoned his personal maid Xiangxue and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Xiangxue immediately quietly withdrew from the main hall.

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger! Lord Fang is young and knowledgeable, and he should indeed be punished for doing something wrong for a while, but for the sake of his original intentions, please ask the emperor to open up on the Internet!"

"Yes, Emperor! Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve State Banquet, and the whole country celebrates! For the sake of a Fang Zheng's bad mood, he can't really draw it, moreover, this Fang Lord usually loves to talk nonsense, and the emperor has never taken it seriously! Although he is kind enough to do bad things today, the emperor is benevolent and generous, and he must not be calculated with him, right?"

Taifu Weisheng Candle, and the scholar Dongfang Zhuo successively pleaded for Fang Zheng.

They all know that although this Fang Zheng is flamboyant and loves to talk nonsense, he has no bad intentions, and he is like an indispensable pistachio in front of the emperor. Without him, the court was dullly tight.

The emperor has always been tolerant of him, and today when he was celebrating at this state banquet, Fang Zheng suddenly came out like this, I'm afraid it was also because of a whim, joining in the fun!

Although the emperor is blowing his beard and glaring angrily at this time, he will still find an excuse to summon him back afterwards, and it is better for them to ask for a favor and save this person! In the future, the emperor will have to throw this drudgery to them again!

The ministers below saw that the two important ministers of the two auxiliary countries all opened their mouths to intercede for Fang Zheng, and they also echoed and said good things.

However, just when people were kindly pleading for Fang Zheng, this guy raised his chin and said with some disdain: "What kind of affection do you ask? What kind of affection do you ask for? Are you really angry with me when you are the emperor? Of course not! The emperor is so angry that he is just angry that this mansion is too extravagant! The emperor loves the people like a son, of course, it is impossible to build such a courtyard for solitary pleasure at the expense of the people! Fang Zheng is not a traitor who can only flatter and flatter, how can he not understand the emperor's love for the people! To tell the truth, Fang Zhengjin dedicated this clay sculpture mansion just to let everyone see the emperor's benevolent and benevolent side, what is wrong?

Fang Zheng's words made everyone's faces almost green at that time! What kind of person is it? Dare to feel that this is stepping on someone else's head and slapping the emperor's ass, it is really superior!

At this time, all the people in the audience who had interceded for Fang Zheng had an urge to smash this guy!

"Hmph, what you say is better than what you sing!Fang Zheng, do you really mean that?"

Situ Sheng recovered his face at this time, but he glanced at Fang Zheng angrily and snorted coldly.

For the sake of this clay sculpture mansion, Wechen has searched the whole of Kyoto, wasted all his strength, and finally found such a mansion after a lot of hardships! Only then did he draw a scoop according to the gourd, and asked someone to make this clay sculpture, and it cost Weichen more than 100 taels of silver! Emperor, you have to make up for this silver!"

Fang Zheng was serious about his little abacus, which made the beard of Situ Shengqi on the throne.

"You cunning thing, this money will be calculated by me! You can say it! Who told you to prepare a gift for me? Now that you have spent money, you have come to me to ask for it! Do you want to be ashamed?"

Situ Sheng pointed at Fang Zheng and scolded.

"Of course Wechen wants to be embarrassed! But he wants to die even more! This more than 100 taels of silver is Wechen's money for a year, and if the emperor doesn't make up for it, won't Wechen starve to death? Tsk, if Wechen really starved to death in order to give gifts to the emperor, wouldn't it mean that the emperor would be criticized by the people of the world! No! Wechen must not do this! So, the emperor, you still make up for Wechen, right?"

Fang Zheng said that the head was the Tao, Situ Sheng heard it, he was really angry and funny, and only this guy dared to say such a thing!

"Fang Zheng, if you want me to make up the money for you, you can give me a truthful return, whose mansion is this clay mansion modeled on?"

Situ Sheng pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't know. Fang Zheng replied immediately.

"I don't know, how could you not know?" Situ Sheng looked incredulous.

"Your Majesty, when the minister saw the mansion, the master was not present, only one steward. And the mansion is only a prototype, and it is not so detailed. This clay mansion was built by Wei Chen according to the description of the steward, but it is very similar to the original house!"

Fang Zheng replied truthfully.

"So, you haven't seen the owner of this house, and you don't know who this house belongs to?" asked Situ Sheng again.

"That's true, but the person who has the ability to build such a luxurious courtyard must be either rich or noble, and the power is monstrous, otherwise who would have the courage to do this?"

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and inadvertently said something very provocative.

As he said this, he clearly felt that several eyes were projecting at him! But he just stood as if he had nothing to do, as if he had not noticed the strange gaze of others.

"So you always know where that mansion is, right?"

Situ Sheng frowned and asked.

"This Weichen knows that in the area of Luoyun Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, the environment is really beautiful! Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, if you can sleep in that mansion for a night, Weichen is afraid that she will die of beauty!"

Fang Zheng recalled and replied with a salivating face.

"Hmph, beautiful death, if you really dare to sleep in it, I will make you unable to wake up!"

Situ Sheng snorted coldly. Immediately facing the main hall, he raised his voice and said: "Spread my will, and immediately raid the Luoyun Mountain Bliss Palace! If it is found out who owns this mansion, I will not spare it!"

Under an order, some people are happy and some are worried!

Min Qingrou, who was sitting in a secluded corner, raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and her sharp gaze had been patrolling Situ Chi's body since just now.

Maybe everyone ignored Situ Chi's small movements, but Min Qingrou saw it!

Just when Xuanyuan Wuzhen's maid Xiangxue quietly slipped out of the main hall, she had already signaled for Yuanqiao to follow.

Before Xiangxue stepped out of the palace, she was knocked unconscious by Yuan Qiao, who was ambushed on the road. Coincidentally dragged her into the flowers, took out the imperial wine stolen from the main hall from her arms, poured it into Xiangxue's mouth, and then stuffed the wine bottle into her arms and left quickly!

Coincidentally, he returned to the main hall and whispered everything in Min Qingrou's ear, Min Qingrou nodded, looked at Situ Chi, who seemed to be a little restless, from a distance, and showed a cold smile.

His Royal Highness King Cheng, Dugu Tingyue's revenge has officially begun, you just wait to take it!
