Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the banquet is no matter who is qualified, people who are not sick do not know, they are all going to be present, the former Prince of the Emperor ate half a chilled watermelon the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, ate his stomach, and did not attend the banquet on the second day, but within a few days, rumors flew all over the sky, saying that this "Volt City God" Prince Tan had been taken down by the West Saint and confined in the Zongren Mansion because he had collided with the West Sage in front of the Imperial Palace, and that Prince Gong had a conflict, and Prince Gong invited the copper whip given by the first emperor to be in front of the emperor, killed the prince on the spot, all kinds of rumors, are really countless, and absurd.

It's not wrong to say that this kind of banquet with strong political significance, including the location, the order of order, and whether to appear, all show that the palace, especially the Xisheng her, is easy to wait for leisure and can't be regarded as unusual, since the prince of the clan has made trouble in the Zongren Mansion, these blacklisted people, when giving the banquet, either arrange the position in the corner, or they don't invite them over at all, the same is true for Prince Gong, according to the ranking, it should be the fifth prince is the actual eldest son of Emperor Daoguang of Xuanzong, and it should be in the first position, But the Empress Dowager Cixi took a fancy to Prince Gong, and Prince Gong always came first, and Prince Gong was under Prince Gong anyway.

Prince Xun just didn't leave the house for a few days, and there was such a big rumor, and then he knew, but the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, and there was no way, so he could only invite the queen mother and the concubine in the palace to Prince Xingdun's mansion, and specially invited Prince Gong to accompany him, and sang a lively church meeting, so that such rumors were quelled.

Therefore, basically no one will not come to this feast, otherwise the rumors that someone has lost power will inevitably spread the next day. Today Zaicheng is very strange, according to the reason, he is the minister of the interior, and today he gives a banquet, one is an errand, the other is a meal, it is bound to arrive, how can he not come, so the Empress Dowager Cixi has this question.

Prince Gong heard the Empress Dowager Cixi's question, but his face showed an embarrassed expression, but it was fleeting, "Back to the Empress Dowager, he went home from an errand the other day, and accidentally tripped and injured himself when he got off the horse, so he did not enter the palace to receive the banquet, and asked the Empress Dowager to forgive him." ”

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager Cixi asked with concern, "But what's the big deal?" Don't bother, right? Have you passed on the imperial doctor? ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just a bruise on his face, which hinders the view, so I let him rest at home for a few days, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother by entering the palace."

When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but have different faces, and many people showed expressions that wanted to laugh but couldn't help it, Weng Tong's ears moved, and he picked up the wine glass with a smile, but he didn't speak, Prince Xuan was about to say something, but was stopped by Prince Alcohol, "Fifth brother, younger brother toasts you." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi has been in power for many years, and she can see the expressions on the faces of these people clearly, presumably Prince Gong's words are untrue, and there must be hidden secrets inside, but Prince Gong doesn't say it, so naturally it is not easy to force him to ask, so he smiled slightly, and skipped this topic and stopped talking.

After a while, the feast is over, everyone goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive today's gifts, after the feast are to give gifts to hundreds of officials, this festival depends on the situation, the year before last pump Apollo came to the court, brought a lot of pepper, therefore, that year's festival is pepper, many poor Beijing officials took out and resold it, the price of the original extremely expensive pepper fell like a dog, this year's festival is also good, it is the tropical fruit of the Sulu attack pineapple, jackfruit coconut, etc., such fruits in the winter, but also popular, better than pepper.

As soon as Prince Gong came out of the Qianqing Palace, Gui Xiang chased after him, and he called Prince Gong a thousand, "Spread the will of the Western Sage, please ask the sixth master to enter the palace on the second day of the first month to give a banquet." ”

Prince Gong nodded, "I know, who else did you call?" ”

"The fifth master Fujin and the seventh master Fujin, Xisheng said, it is a few concubines who get together, and no one else mixes with them."

This is also a common thing, Emperor Xuanzong's sons of the Fujin, but the relationship is not bad, the Empress Dowager Cixi is used to winning people's hearts, these Fujin have always been often gathered together, Prince Gong didn't think much about it, because at this time he really didn't have much to think about other things, his heart was depressed, and he suppressed his anger, nodded towards Guixiang, didn't say anything else, and followed Baojun and Jing Lian directly.

Gui Xiang straightened up and smiled at Prince Gong's back, unsuspecting that someone came behind him, "Grandpa, I don't know anything about King Chengjun when I look at Xisheng?" ”

"I have to ask the Xuanli Office about this," Gui Xiang turned his head and smiled at Wang Kaiyun who appeared behind him, "I don't know why, no one told Xisheng about such a thing?" Also," Gui Xiang laughed to himself, "In the end, it is a matter of men and women, and it can't be on the stage." ”

"This matter, speaking of which, is still because of the lax discipline of our king, do you say grandpa?" Wang Kaiyun smiled mysteriously, the goose feathers fell in the snow, and Wang Kaiyun's warm hat had black mink fur on the edge, which dyed his hat gray and white at once, "This self-cultivation Qi family governing the country and the world has always been the same amount, step by step, this Qi family is not doing well, and the ruling of the king of the government must be problematic." ”

Gui Xiang waved his sleeves, "Lord Wang's words are deep in my heart, and I mean the same thing, but this matter still needs to be reported." ”

"Do you still need to report this? Li Haoshi's funeral office is not for nothing," Wang Kaiyun stroked his short beard and said with a smile, "It's just that this involves Fengyue, and he is a eunuch who is embarrassed to report it, but Xisheng knows it today, and he definitely won't ask." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was not serious, Gui Xiang arched his hand towards Wang Kaiyun, turned to leave, Wang Kaiyun shook his sleeves, shook off the snowflakes on his body, and turned to leave, and after a while, he went out of Yuehua Gate, and just saw Li Hongzao and Weng Tongyi walking together, Wang Kaiyun bowed, "Li Xiang, Weng Xiang." ”

Li Hongzao is not used to people like Wang Kaiyun, the first is lucky, the second is shameless to change the court, and the third is to rely on his wisdom and wisdom to make waves in the court, but he has the body of a prime minister, and he can't tear his face with Wang Kaiyun, Wang Kaiyun is shameless, and he is also one of the little Jiuqing's Tongzheng Si Zuo Tongzheng, so he just nodded, but he didn't speak, but Weng Tongyi was modest, nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Wang, it's late at night at this time, the two of us, the old people are dazzled, but we can't see this way clearly, Your eyes are good, you can see everything clearly, why don't you lead us out of the palace?
