Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Night Feast Begins
In Cai Wenzhao's memory, Shenzhen Iron is not the raw material of the Dinghai God Needle, that is, the famous golden hoop stick!
"Shizi, do you know how much Shenzhen Iron there is this time, is it enough to build a gun?"
Xun Can almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, and looked at Cai Wenzhao strangely: "Wenzhao, this Divine Treasure Iron is an extraordinary thing, that is, it can improve the quality of the entire equipment by mixing some powder, who is willing to use pure Divine Treasure Iron to build it." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this time, it is said to be the size of a fist. ”
Cai Wenzhao was thoughtful, a little regretful, and soon smiled, and said: "The night banquet seems to be about to start, the prince still returned to his seat, after all, this place is remote and cold, I'm afraid it will lower your identity." ”
Xun Can nodded his fingers: "You little guy, don't make fun of me." I'm afraid that as soon as tonight passes, your Cai Wenzhao's name will overshadow me. Maybe I'll have a drink with you next time. ”
Xun Can got up, arched his hand at Cai Wenzhao, and walked to his original case.
The royal banquet of the royal family is naturally strictly ruled, and the seats are all exquisite, that is, Xun Can doesn't mind, but he doesn't dare to violate the rules of the royal family at will.
After a while, Li Guan and Guo Huai also returned.
This night banquet, the host was a Hongru from the Ministry of Rites, and Emperor Wu and the queen feasted the ministers in the main hall.
"In any case, today's Star Sea God Zhen Tie must be obtained. Cai Wenzhao drank the last drop of wine in the wine bottle. Looking at Xun Can's distant back, he thought about it in his heart, today Xun Can is generally because he is in love with himself, and he is more helping the third prince to find a minister, and the potential he has shown these days has attracted his attention, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
"However, today's Xun Can's drink is just to let someone with a heart connect me with the three princes, plus I and the Xiahou family, the princes of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion are in the same situation, it seems to confirm my position. However, it can be regarded as helping me cover up the source of the exercises, and the rise of cultivation. Cai Wenzhao narrowed his eyes, since Xun Can deliberately trapped himself in the third prince's line like this, he didn't mind using it as a shield.
Cai Wenzhao came back to his senses, above the palace, at this moment, there was a Hongru who came to the center of the main hall, the old man had a serious and old-fashioned face, his temples were white, and he was dressed in a cyan robe, which was very literati.
"Silence on all sides. The princes of all the provinces please sit in their own places, and do not make noise and presumptuousness. Otherwise, expelled from the palace. The pair of sharp eyes on Hongru's majestic face glanced at the four directions and said indifferently.
Hongru's hoarse voice carried a charm in it, and it rose around the beams in the palace, and in an instant, the noise in the entire palace disappeared.
Everyone's eyes were on Hongru.
Hongru nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his right hand, and a palace maid on the side had already presented a wine bottle. Hongru raised the wine bottle and shouted to the Quartet, "Toast!"
"Long live Emperor Wu!"
"Long live Emperor Wu!" All the scholars are Ying He, Emperor Wu is very prestigious, and the young scholars of the Great Wei Dynasty all respect him like a god, that is the real generation of heroes and emperors.
"Queen Mother Chitose!"
"Queen Mother Chitose!" everyone echoed in unison.
"I wish the Great Wei Dynasty, the rivers and mountains and societies for thousands of years, and longevity!"
"After the ceremony, all the scholars, please drink!"
Hongru took the lead in covering up with long sleeves, and drank all the wine.
All the scholars in the hall drank it equally boldly.
The wine entered the stomach, and outside the palace, there were countless fireworks rising brightly, and the entire Luoyang City was gorgeous.
As soon as the toasting ceremony was over, the whole palace was once again bustling.
Countless palace maids rushed in, and all kinds of delicious food and wine were served on the table.
All of a sudden, everyone was staggered and lively.
At the same time, in the middle of the palace, the palace maids of dance and music appeared, and there were juggling performances and various celebration programs, which were overwhelming.
However, in this regard, everyone is not too enthusiastic, because everyone is waiting for the next main drama, the finale of the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, the ratio of civil and military!
Guo Huai and Li Guan were also extremely excited and nervous, but seeing Cai Wenzhao calm and comfortable, there was a lot of admiration in their hearts.
The dancers withdrew, the musicians left, and finally the Hongru reappeared, now with a golden scroll in his hand.
All the scholars immediately set their eyes on the golden scroll, and the Hongru slowly unfolded it, and said in a loud voice: "The scholars who read the names below are listed, Li Guan....Guo Huai....Cai Wenzhao ......"
The Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet is only eligible for soldiers under the age of 16 who have not been in the army, and it can be regarded as a kind of assessment before joining the army.
Therefore, the results of the civil and military competition will greatly affect the future of the military and the court in the future.
When Hongru finished reading the list, there were nearly 100 scholars lined up in the palace at this moment, and Cai Wenzhao and the three of them stood together.
"Wen Zhao, after a martial arts competition, we are a little worse in cultivation, so we won't participate. However, Li Guan and I are ready to give it a try. We'll wait for you to finish the joust and go over together. Guo Huai looked at Cai Wenzhao and said, obviously they also understood that the next martial arts competition was of great significance to Cai Wenzhao, and they were also a little worried in their hearts, and they didn't want to leave alone to participate in Wenbi.
"Well, then prepare your wine until I return victorious. Cai Wenzhao smiled confidently.
As soon as Cai Wenzhao's words fell, the sound of bells and drums sounded in the hall. At the same time, a majestic voice sounded:
"I am the Great Wei Dynasty, the military is to determine the country, and the culture is to rule the world. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, take this day to convene all the scholars, hold this civil and military competition, one is to let you show the results of these days of hard work, and the other is to let you start from this civil and military competition to prepare for the army and the country. The court that ranked high in this civil and military competition will give a variety of rich rewards. Especially the young talents who can enter the top three in civil and military affairs this time can get a gift from Emperor Wu. Ladies and gentlemen, please unleash your talents to the fullest!"
The rewards of civil and military competitions have always been kept secret, but without exception they are extremely valuable.
"It turned out to be a treasure given by Emperor Wu!" all the scholars showed surprise on their faces. In the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the past, the final reward was generally only crowned with a royal reward, or the handwriting of the Taifu, but this time it was personally selected and given by Emperor Wu.
All of a sudden, everyone's breathing became muddy and short.
"Could it be some peerless technique, or is it a rare artifact?"
This year's scholars obviously showed excited looks on their faces, and some of them stood in front of them, and the bold scholars walked towards Hongru and wanted to ask.
Hongru's face was flat, he carried the golden scroll behind him, and looked at everyone seriously: "There is no martial arts competition in the literary test, they are in two places, the door on the left is the martial arts, and the one on the right is naturally the literary competition." Gentlemen, please get started, if you want to know what the treasure is, you have to look at your ability, please!"
