Chapter 269: Hongmen Banquet

After Zhu Di released the national bonds, people initially talked about how His Majesty was not in tune. Of course, I only dare to say it in private, for businessmen, the edict clearly states that the national debt is for the purpose of going to the West. They know the huge profits brought by going to the West, not to mention the money owed by the state, in black and white, and they are not afraid of the state cheating.

So the businessmen lent money to the state, and the officials hesitated, and Yang Shiqi took the lead in borrowing money, as well as the prince and the prince, and this time they lent money to the state. In less than half a month, 500,000 taels of silver were collected. Zhu Di allocated 300,000 yuan to Kuang Wei, who had already gathered craftsmen to repair the Daming treasure ship and artillery day and night.

The Han king was in full swing to train his army, and three days before Zhu Di was preparing to move north, he invited his subordinates and henchmen, as well as Chen Yuan, to his mansion for a banquet.

Chen Yuan didn't want to go, but he hadn't torn his face with King Han yet, so he had to go.

At the meeting, it was found that Yang Shiqi's son Yang Dao was in the list, and he was very strange.

At the banquet, Zhu Gaoxu said triumphantly: "Today's feast, the king also specially invited a master in the palace to perform for us, in order to accompany the wine, now everyone is in full swing, please invite this master to perform!" ”

The king of Han now holds military power, and he is even more unreasonable, so he invited the court musicians to come.

In this era, Kabuki naturally had a low status, but if it could become a court worship, that art industry must have reached the peak of the realm, and its status also jumped sharply, even if the princes saw them, they were also respectful and regarded as VIPs.

Moreover, only the emperor could appoint. Therefore, when I heard that the king of Han had invited an enshriner from the inner court today. There was a sudden silence in the hall, some were happy and some were worried. Happily, Zhu Di turned a blind eye to this matter, indicating that the opportunity for King Han to replace the crown prince was fighting, and the worry was that this obvious Yue, the emperor may not have a seizure for the time being.

But no matter what, King Han is full of spring breeze, and everyone doesn't dare to save his face.

A moment of effort, ring ring. A beautiful woman in her thirties walked up to the hall in style, accompanied by four young and pretty girls in colorful clothes. This beauty is dressed in a white dress, white streamers, her tall and graceful figure is elegant, although she is nearly thirty years old, she is no longer a young girl, but there is another charming taste.

There was no ornament on her body, except for a silver hairpin with a round pearl on her jet-black peach bun, and a quiet smile on her delicate face that was thin and white like porcelain. The temperament is refined, like a fairy concubine in the sky.

The guests in the hall couldn't help but be stunned, and they had already snorted softly and discussed.

Zhu Gaoxu stroked his beard, his face was full of pride, this inner court offering is not something that everyone can invite, but it can surprise you people.

As he was talking, the hall was full of strings, sheng Xiao and Ming, and in the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, the four beautiful and beautiful dancers were already saluting, and their colorful sleeves were flying, and they began to dance.

The beauty showed her singing voice slightly, and the clear sound suddenly rose, curling Nana, clearly into everyone's ears, but she did not see how she made a gesture and raised her voice, such a wonderful sound, even the silk bamboo is too redundant, if it is a cappella, I really don't know how charming it should be. Such a heavenly sound. It was really the first to catch people, and everyone was stupid when they heard it, and they applauded in unison,

"Retreat ......"

"Ah, my lord."

"How can you be absent-minded when you retreat, isn't it a beauty, don't you want it?"

Everyone was listening to it with fascination, and King Han's words caught their attention.

Chen Yuan is a modern person, he is used to listening to modern music, and there is no good banquet, so many people are hostile to him, he naturally has no mood, but he was pointed out in public by the King of Han.

"No, Lord Wang, it's because I'm a shallow learner, and I don't understand it very well."

Zhu Huan, who was already drunk, was already drunk, and Zhu Huan, the general of the Han Dynasty, had long been impatient. He really listens to thunder with such elegant music, but he can't understand it. Chen Yuan's words seemed to help him get started, even if he wanted the beauty to change to a song, he wanted to sing some love between men and women, which was cheerful and interesting.

The beauty is worshiped in the inner court, and she is already a master-level figure, when has she seen such a vulgar person, and she is furious in her heart.

King Han was noncommittal, and laughed: "What General Zhu wants to listen to, I will let her sing." ”

"I want to hear eighteen touches."

"Haha-" Before Zhu Huan's words fell, everyone was silent at first, and then they laughed loudly, with various looks, patrolling the beauty.

It turned out that what he wanted to listen to was the obscene words and songs, what kind of identity the beauty was in the music workshop, and it was also a VIP to enter and leave the princely family, how could he suffer such humiliation, and he walked away in a rage.

King Han was furious: "Little musician, dare to save face." Immediately, he sent someone to catch the musician and gave him thirty lashes.

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life-" The beauty has always been pampered, where can she bear it, a few whips down, and blood oozed out of the white dress.

Seeing that the beauty was wailing, Chen Yuan couldn't bear it, seeing that none of them pleaded, but showed a tiger wolf smile, he was angry in his heart, and held back his anger and said: "Lord Wang, little musician, why bother with her." ”

Yang Dao retorted: "Lord Chen, don't you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" This is not true, the king of Han is a dignified prince, how noble, a lowly musician, relying on strange lewd skills, scratching his head and making gestures to gain favor, how can he last long, and where does he have the courage. This minion is to fight, and he knows his identity. ”

Chen Yuan's face was ugly, he didn't think that he had offended Yang Dao, and he never thought that he not only attended the banquet of King Han, but also had thorns in his words, mocking himself.

There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself.

Chen Yuan still has a good impression of Yang Shiqi, after all, he did collide with him, but he did not target himself, when he was in trouble, he spoke up righteously, worthy of the belly of the prime minister and the prime minister.

He ignored Yang Dao and said to the King of Han: "Lord, for the Lord, you should have a merciful heart, although you are a little musician, but you are worshiped by the court, although there is a mistake, you should be punished by Your Majesty, and the King of Han is tortured in private, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate." ”

Zhu Gaoxu shouted to his subordinates: "Stop." ”

His subordinates stopped moving, and Zhu Gaoxu said in a strange manner: "Did you hear that?" If this king beats again, it will be lynched, so you can hand her over to the old man. Hehe, this king doesn't know what your name is, don't thank this king for sparing you, if you want to thank you, thank Chen Yuan Chen, ah, haha. ”

The beauty held back the pain: "The prince forgives the sin, it is the slave and the maid who are reckless, thank the prince for not killing him, thank Lord Chen." ”

Chen Yuan took a long breath, it was really not a good banquet, King Han did this, he deliberately embarrassed himself, his marriage with Jian Yixuan made King Han suspicious, and he wanted to beat himself today.

Hehe, King Han, you look at me too simply, Chen Yuan didn't show his face, only said ashamed.

When such a thing happened, the banquet could not go on, and everyone dispersed.

In Fengtian Temple, Zhu Di is closing his eyes and recuperating.

Winter came, it was a little cold, and he had a thick blanket over his legs.

"Your Majesty, Chen Shan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, has something to play."

Zhu Di hummed and didn't answer.

Wang Zhen had no choice but to ask softly again: "Your Majesty, do you see or not." "An official of a very low rank like this is not allowed to meet the emperor unless summoned by the emperor.

"What's the matter, let him go to Yang Shiqi."

"Yes." Wang Zhen replied and prepared to go out.

But after going out for a while, Wang Zhen came back with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Chen Langzhong said that there is an urgent matter, and he must meet His Majesty to play Chen." ”

Zhu Di frowned and yawned: "Then bring him in." ”

"Yes."

"Minister Chen Shan, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "If you have something, you can find the first assistant." ”

"Your Majesty, please be the master of the ministers."

Zhu Di was taken aback, it turned out that Lang Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, had messy hair and a broken block on the right side of his official uniform.

Zhu Di was shocked: "Raise your head." ”

Chen Shan raised his head, with two panda eyes and a five-finger mountain mark on his face.

Zhu Di was taken aback: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, today the King of Han is looking for the director of the Department of Teaching Workshop to ask for a musician, the King of Han has his own musician, and he wants the court, which is not in accordance with the rules, the director finds the minister, and asks the minister to take an idea, and the minister finds the King of Han and explains the situation, but I didn't expect that the King of Han, the King of Han saw that the minister did not agree, and it was a beating-I begged Your Majesty to call the shots of the minister."

Chen Shan had a handful of tears and snot, miserable and miserable.

Zhu Di was furious, and said: "How can this be reasonable. ”

Chen Shan thought that the emperor was going to punish the King of Han, and continued to wipe his tears: "Your Majesty, the minister is the law of the country, and it is not a pity to die, but the King of Han has no form, Your Majesty, it chills the heart of the minister." ”

"Someone."

Wang Zhen stepped forward: "Your Majesty." ”

"As an official, Chen Shan cannot keep his responsibilities well, so he will be removed from all official positions."

Chen Shan was shocked, he was a princeling, and he was going to use this matter to attack the King of Han, but the emperor was actually angry with himself, dismissed from his post, and almost fainted, and was stunned: "Your Majestyβ€”"

"Remove the director of the Department of Teaching and Learning."

"Your Majestyβ€”"

Before Chen Shan could react, he was dragged out by the samurai, only to feel that the sky and the earth were dark. was dragged out of the palace gate in a daze. He got up, was stunned for a long time, and went to report to Yang Shiqi.

"Wang Zhen, go and call Jinyi Wei Yuan Bin to come over."

Wang Zhen responded, and after a while, Yuan Bin was brought in.
