The palace banquet lasted for three days.

The first day was a discussion of the number of books in the courtesy.

The next day, a big banquet was held, and the ministers went together.

On the last day, Ren Fu and the embassy closed the door to discuss the world's major affairs - it was said to discuss major matters, but in fact, it was to formally sign a treaty that humiliated the country and sought protection from the hands of the Tuochuan State.

After Xia Qingyang heard about the specific process of the past few days from Empress Yin, he handed the news to He Minghua, asking him to keep an eye on the outside in the past few days and beware of any changes.

There are her and her mothers in the palace, and it is not difficult to save Ren Fu's life if something happens.

But when it comes to things outside the palace, they can't help.

-

"It's so hot, when will it start, it's almost noon, let's hang it here to dry people?"

"Who says it's not. But I heard that it was because General Chiang slept late last night that he didn't get up today. General Chiang did not come, and of course His Majesty could not have arrived first. ”

"You can also inquire about this kind of news?"

"General Jiang picks several beautiful palace maids to enter his dormitory every day, don't you know."

On both sides of the huge martial arts training ground, there are hundreds of officials and concubines who came here early to wait.

Now everyone is waiting a little tired, and similar gossip spreads on a small scale.

Concubine An was speechless when she heard about it, and complained to Xia Qingyang for a long time.

Empress Yin had other opinions: "Actually, this General Jiang is not necessarily as rumored. ”

Concubine An: "What do you mean?" ”

Empress Yin: "I've seen him from afar a few times in the past few days. Judging by his face, General Chiang ...... Well, the blood is strong, and the complexion is very good. If you are a weak person who indulges in beauty, you will not have such a good look. ”

Xia Qingyang nodded: "I feel this way too." Most of this man's pompous behavior is pretending. ”

"Pretended? Why is he pretending? "Concubine An doesn't understand.

Xia Qingyang: "Maybe it's to test the bottom line of Dachun Kingdom." It may also be that he is too suspicious, and he is simply accustomed to showing weakness, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. ”

An Guifei whined in disgust: "Then it's even more annoying." ”

Xia Qingyang smiled, how could it be simple for a person who could be a strong general. Compared to the kind of person who is difficult to deal with at first glance, a guy like Jiang Ye will only be more dangerous.

Having said that, Xia Qingyang, as a small permanent presence, sat next to Concubine An and Empress Yin, which was actually quite an out-of-the-box behavior.

But today, no one thinks it's a strange thing.

"Ah, it's finally here." An Guifei's eyes were sharp, and she saw the slowly moving canopy roof in the distance.

Ten minutes later, Ren Fu and Jiang Ye, who had been belated, finally sat on the throne.

For many concubines, this is the first time they have seen the legendary General Chiang.

I didn't expect the real person to be as handsome as rumored. Many of the concubines blushed.

Since he arrived, Jiang Ye's gaze swept over the concubine's seat repeatedly.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he intended to send autumn waves to the concubines.

Rao is Ren Fu, who is not very cold to his harem, is a little annoyed at this time.

"Your Majesty, I heard that in your harem, there is a Yajieyu who is known as the first beauty in Dachun Kingdom, I don't know which one it is."

Jiang Ye didn't seem to notice Ren Fu's getting worse and worse face, and asked such a question that added fuel to the fire.

Ren Fu couldn't bear his displeasure, saying that Yajieyu was unwell and was recuperating in the palace.

Jiang Ye sighed: "In this way, I have heard about His Majesty's assassination a while ago. Hey, how could this happen, Your Majesty was frightened? ”

Ren Fu's complexion softened slightly, but he was fine.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ye's words changed, and the next sentence pierced his heart: "But in the end, Jieyu Niangniang was also injured when she followed His Majesty, this assassin is so powerful." ”

Jiang Ye didn't lower his voice when he spoke, so anyone who was slightly closer could hear it.

Xia Qingyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Jiang Ye's mouth is so powerful. In a word, I don't know how many layers of meaning are in it-

He Tiya Jieyu was injured, which not only satirized the lack of protection of Dachun Kingdom, but also the fact that even a woman could not be protected well. He also hinted to Ren Fu that they were in the Tuochuan Kingdom, and they knew the movements of the Dachun Kingdom well.

I didn't see what Ren Fu's expression looked like.

But there is no way, who made up his mind to put it under the fence of Tochuan Country, this psychological preparation should have been made a long time ago.

Ren Fu no longer spoke to Jiang Ye, he waved his hand and asked the eunuch in charge to announce the rules of the competition.

From the etiquette specifications of this palace banquet alone, it can be seen that Ren Fu attaches great importance to Tuochuan Kingdom. It can almost be said that it is arranged with the power of the whole dynasty.

However, General Chiang was still not satisfied.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, your martial arts arena is really a bit shabby."

"Why didn't Your Majesty add a riding and archery competition to it? Dachun is a big country, and there will never be no cavalry. ”

"Your Majesty, our people will come up later, and in case your people are injured, you must not blame you. In such a small place, our people can't get used to it, and they can't use their fists and kicks. ”

Seeing that Jiang Ye's left and right sentences were endless, Xia Qingyang was worried that Ren Fu couldn't help but do it directly.

But Ren Fu has been able to get to this day, obviously because he is extremely forbearant at a critical moment.

Therefore, he didn't hear Jiang Ye's provocation.

As for the officials sitting in the audience, they either pretended not to hear, or lowered their heads and secretly gritted their teeth. In short, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction.

Speaking of officials.

Today's content is mainly based on discussions, so most of the officials who come to sit and watch are military attachés.

Concubine An didn't see her father, who made her afraid and resentful, but she saw her brother.

An Guifei's eldest brother, An Yuming, is currently a hussar general named by Fu and is quite relied on.

Therefore, after Yin Zuocheng was demoted, it is not an exaggeration to say that the An family completely controlled the momentum of the court.

After a little preparation, the competition officially began.

In fact, it is said to be a competition, but everyone knows that this is just a scene where Togawa Kingdom unilaterally shows off its force and exclaims its prestige to Dachun Kingdom.

Sure enough, whether it was a test of marksmanship or knife skills, or a bare-handed contest, it was a crushing victory for the Togawa side.

Finally, it's time for the archery event.

Archery is one of the areas that Dachunguo is good at.

Although everyone present has accepted the result of being exported by the Togawa country, they are still secretly looking forward to winning back a city when they try to shoot arrows.

But what they never expected was that whether it was a fixed-point target or a foot shot, it was actually the Tuochuan country that was superior?!

Ren Fu was also a little unable to sit still-

Even if he wants to talk to Tuochuan Country, he still needs some face. I thought that no matter how muddy he was, Jiang Ye would be able to understand this to some extent, but he didn't expect that they didn't intend to give in at all.

And then there's the last project.

Ren Fu glanced at him and asked the eunuch to call An Yuming to play.
