Chapter 204: The Hundred Liao Banquet
The next day, before dawn, eight behemoths walked out of the beast gate of the elephant training place one after another, followed by dozens of well-dressed horses.
These behemoths were draped in silk and carried jewels, blinking sleepy-eyed and howling with low displeasure in their mouths, clearly dissatisfied with the work arrangement.
Dozens of elephant slaves, led by a few officials, tried their best to calm the emotions of the elephants. These elephant slaves all held more than a dozen scorched weeds in their hands, feeding the elephants little by little.
These weeds are naturally the horses in Bao Yuanqian's house, and the elephant slaves naturally know that there are two fierce wild elephants in Annan, and a few days ago they were worried about whether they would startle the tribute elephants and let their elephants be punished.
However, last night Bao Yuanqian sent someone to retrieve the horse dryness at home, but they were very surprised, they are elephant keepers naturally know the effect of horse dryness, and they bluntly said that they didn't expect Ying Tianfu to have horse dryness growing!
Chen Fang and Peng Jian, as the main and deputy thousand households, were naturally in the lead, Peng Jian came to Bao Yuanqian's side, and whispered with a worried face: "Bao Si, can this work?"
Bao Yuanqian smiled: "Don't worry, this dead horse is better as a live horse doctor than no forensic doctor, isn't it?"
Peng Jian nodded first, and then waved his hand again and said, "Bao Si misunderstood, I didn't mean Ma Erdry, I mean..."
Bao Yuanqian understood, patted Peng Jian's shoulder and said, "Peng Qianhu doesn't need to worry too much, this elephant slave is not very familiar with the usage and dosage of horse dryness, what three feeds, seven twists and five fasts, I think it will really not work without her."
"Hey, if you get through the tricks, you'll be fine." Peng Jian sighed lightly, "But if something goes wrong, this is the crime of deceiving the king!"
Bao Yuanqian said with a smile: "But the matter has come to this, if Gongxiang is frightened, he wants to have a good face in the saint today, and if he folds his face in front of Fanbang, it must be a great crime."
Peng Jian knew that Bao Yuanqian was a person who was valued by the saints today, although he was reluctant, but now he could only do this, and gamble with him.
If something really happened, it would be said that Bao Yuanqian was coercing himself with the holy grace. He thought about the way out, and said no more.
The mighty team smeared out of the Qingliangmen in a low-key manner, and instead of going in the direction of the palace, they went towards the Mochou Lake Palace outside Yingtian City.
This Mochou Lake Palace Bao Yuanqian came once last time, and the view was excellent during the day, and he could vaguely see the other side of the lake in the distance, and now he came in the dark, only to find that this Mochou Lake was boundless in the dark night, and it was extremely vast.
The dark water of the lake blends with the dim night, and the cool breeze blows in the lake, which instantly dispels the drowsiness. Suddenly, they heard the sound of riding the waves, and there were already dragon boats coming to meet them, because the elephants were huge, and they could no longer bridge into the Mochou Lake, so they had to board the dragon boat to transport the tribute elephants to the main hall in the middle of the lake.
Bao Yuanqian and his colleagues finished counting the royal horse tribute elephants, and then finally boarded the dragon boat.
He stood at the head of the dragon boat, in the darkness he could only hear the blue sea tide, rippling blue waves, like a lake and the sea, the reflection of the moon in the middle of it like a bright moon on the sea, the stars were dotted, the sky and water were connected, the stars were dotted, like a dream, like a dream, as if floating in the sea.
Bao Yuanqian looked at a casual elephant slave on the side, this elephant slave was thin, with a fur hat, and his clothes were slightly funny wrapped around him. Blown by the slightly cool lake breeze, I shivered for a while, and couldn't help rubbing my hands. jj.br>
He walked over and said, "Cold?"
The elephant slave turned his head to look at Bao Yuanqian, and a slightly immature but extremely delicate face squeezed out a smile, "It's not cold, it's just that Qing'er is a little nervous when she enters the palace for the first time..."
This elephant slave is Qing'er mixed in and pretended.
A few hours ago, out of consideration, Bao Yuanqian decided to mix Qing'er with the elephant slaves, and let her lead the elephant slaves to stabilize the emotions of the elephants.
Now that he heard what Qing'er said, it was reasonable, Bao Yuanqian smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't need to be nervous. It's not for you to be the right person in the palace, the elephant slave just lives outside the hall and takes care of the tribute elephant from a distance, maybe even the emperor's face can't be seen clearly. Of course... Naturally, he can't see you clearly, so if you take good care of the tribute, you can clock out in a moment."
"Clocking out?"
"Oh, that's what it means to do a great job."
Qing'er sneered when she heard this, "Brother Bao, how come you always have some words in your mouth that Qing'er doesn't understand?"
"Is there one?" Bao Yuanqian scratched his head.
Qing'er smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Why not? For example, the "Spur Buddha" that you often talk about, Brother Bao said that it means to praise the posture. Let's talk about "Luke", but Brother Bao said that it meant to see. These new words are unheard of, and I don't know where they are?"
Bao Yuanqian smiled awkwardly, coughed lightly twice, and said, "It's indeed a dialect, but it's a far, far away..."
Just as Bao Yuanqian was speaking, he only felt that the dragon boat was stunned, and his body shook steadily. He looked at the shore that was close at hand, and his heart was on the shore.
He pondered that this Mochou Lake was three or four hundred square kilometers in circumference, saying that it was not big or small, and that it was not small when he came back, and he wore it for more than half an hour when he went around and around. Now come by boat, a stick of incense can reach the front of the main hall of the heavy eaves hall in the middle of the lake.
The shore is lit up and there are many soldiers. The palace maids and eunuchs came and went, extremely busy, and seemed to have come to receive Fanbang.
They unloaded the horses in an orderly manner and drove them to the long corridors on both sides of the main hall, where they waited.
This is two hours, until the sky is bright, and after the hour, Bao Yuanqian was woken up from his sleep.
"Boss Bao, wake up, it's time to drive the elephant camel!"
Bao Yuanqian didn't sleep all night last night, and woke up in a daze after a nap, and what caught his eye was Peng Jian's big face, and the sound of bells, drums, and rituals and music was heard all around.
He leaned against the wall and rubbed his eyes, but saw that the sky had already brightened, and the tribute elephant and horse were also meticulously prepared under the care of the elephant slaves.
Peng Jian said: "Priest Bao, I really admire your immovable posture. It's such a big thing, and you can sleep peacefully."
Bao Yuanqian smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Don't blame it, don't blame it, this sleepiness can't be resisted."
He was polite on his lips, but he scolded his mother in his heart, and he was deeply poisoned by face engineering and formalism. Every time it comes to the important affairs of the imperial court, the royal ceremony always makes him wait for a long time, and tortures the dead before he is lately entered.
Another bell rang and the music came, the vermilion towering door was wide open, Chen Fang waved his hand, and Peng Jian echoed behind, driving the elephant horse slowly into the wide platform in front of the main hall.
Bao Yuanqian stood in front of the elephant slaves and walked slowly, looking at the platform of the island in the middle of the lake today, the vermilion back carpet was already spread all over, the palace Qionglou was full of silk and silk silk, and the Lile Yamen under the command of the Ministry of Rites had already been advocating all kinds of musical instruments, deafening and deafening, so lively!
The hall has long been full of civil and military trains, and the envoys of various states are huddled together, waiting for Zhu Di, the owner of the empty dragon chair throne.
According to the regulations, the eight tribute elephants will be placed under the jade steps outside the hall in pairs, and the royal horse will follow closely behind, mighty. When the envoys of Fanbang saw such a huge thing dressed up, they all took a few more looks, and secretly sighed that the majesty of the Ming Dynasty was domineering, and the pomp was not small.
Bao Yuanqian was standing in front of the elephant slave, but he didn't expect a eunuch to come from the hall.
The eunuch was in his thirties, and walked up to Bao Yuanqian with a warm face and a bit of femininity, and said, "Priest Bao, there is an oracle in the saint. You don't have to stand outside the temple, but please come into the temple before the civil and military ministers, and come with the slaves and maids."
This eunuch Bao Yuanqian knew that the person who cried the most in Changchun Pavilion that day was named Huang Yan, and now he is the palm print of the celebrant eunuch. Bao Yuanqian risked his life in front of the palace to admonish, and made great contributions to the rise of their celebrant supervisors, so this Huang Yan was particularly polite and respectful to himself.
Bao Yuanqian didn't understand what he meant, and his heart let Bao Ye stay in the forefront, could it be difficult for me to do it again? It's just that he didn't dare to be disobedient, so he still followed Huang Yan into the hall and stood straight in front of the ministers.
It's just that he was dressed in a nine-grade official robe stained with the smell of elephants, which was incompatible with the ministers, and they covered their noses and complained softly.
These civil and military ministers now all regard themselves as mortal enemies, not to mention Yang Rong and the others, Bao Yuanqian only swept it casually and saw the hateful eyes of Li Jinglong and the others poking at his backbone.
Bao Yuanqian doesn't care, Li Jinglong and the others are in danger, and he is going to die with them by himself. It's just that he just looked left and right, but he saw Xue Lu wearing flat-winged black yarn among the princes.
It had been a month since Xue Lu had talked to him last time, and it was still difficult for him to open his eyes at that time, but he didn't expect him to recover so quickly, Bao Yuanqian couldn't help but sigh secretly that Zhang Shenxian's inner alchemy was really amazing!
Xue Lu regained his former heroic spirit, not being despicable with his nine grades, and nodded at Bao Yuanqian with a smile. Bao Yuanqian has always been a respectful person, and he returned the favor, and immediately returned the salute.
The envoys of the other countries knew more about Bao Yuanqian, a famous figure, who showed his might in the same hall and skillfully broke the chain, and he still has a lot of respect for him.
Only the envoys of Luchuan and the envoys of Annan who had just come here did not recognize him, but they just looked curiously, how could Xindao be ranked among the top ministers compared to the people around him who were so simple?
"The Holy One has arrived!!"
Just when there was a lot of discussion in the hall, only a sharp voice was heard, and everyone knelt down to greet Zhu Di regardless of where he came from.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat."
When everyone got up, they saw that on the dragon chair that was still empty, there was already a majestic and bearded strong man, dressed in a yellow robe, proud of the common people.
Bao Yuanqian saw Zhu Di sitting here, but he didn't see Ji Gang, who often accompanied him, and was very curious.
"Summoning all your ministers and messengers today, only because there are two great things to share with the princes." Zhu Di grinned, but it made people shudder, he said slowly: "One of these things is that the Annan Chen Dynasty sent tribute to the civil strife, and the Luchuan Xuanwei Division came from thousands of miles away, and now the Ming clan can be said to have gathered together, which is a grand occasion that has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!"
He waved his hand, full of pride, Zhu Di has a good face, everyone knows, now he can be regarded as a dynasty of all countries, how can he be displeased?
It's just that he deliberately said that Annan Chen Dynasty, as soon as these words came out, the cheeks of several envoys of Annan State twitched slightly, obviously a little unsatisfied, but Bao Yuanqian waited for the opportunity to look at the truth.
Zhu Di raised his beard and said, "This second thing is a fortunate thing related to the orthodoxy of my Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as his voice fell, the eunuch beside him brought a tray covered with yellow silk and held it up to the hall.
Zhu Di nodded, and the eunuch suddenly lifted the yellow silk, revealing a slightly dark old jade seal inside!
Zhu Di said: "I think all of you have also heard that this Qin Emperor and the Bixi of the Qin Dynasty, who have disappeared since the Tang Dynasty five generations later... Now auspicious rain has descended from heaven to the palace of Emperor Ying!"
Seeing this, the officials exchanged heads and ears, and they all seemed to have guessed one or two. As early as a few months ago, they heard the news from the palace that there was a jade seal that seemed to be the Qin Emperor's seal that had been lost for 500 years, and it had already been rumored.
Zhu Di got up and took the jade seal, revealing the big characters on the bottom of the seal to the envoys, and said infatuatedly: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.... It has been 500 years, and the jade seal of my Han people has once again returned to the Han family and returned to my hands."
I saw Hu Guang, Yang Rong and others taking the lead in stepping out of the ranks, and shouted on the ground: "The Holy One is the true dragon son of heaven, carrying the sun and moon on his shoulders and carrying the stars, which is the orthodoxy of the mandate of heaven. Because of this, this will make the jade seal that has been lost for 500 years return to the saint!"
Hu Guang added, "Exactly, in the whole world, apart from the saints, what other country and state king is worthy of this divine object? This is the will of Heaven, and the will of Heaven cannot be violated!"
Several members of their cabinet figured out the holy will, and moved out of the celestial and human induction to take the lead in patting the sycophants, and the ministers behind them echoed one after another.
Not to be outdone, the generals knelt down one by one to celebrate.
Bao Yuanqian knelt on the ground, laughing in his heart, thinking that this Zhu Di also knew how to fight public opinion, and he had spread the news for several months in advance, and he had spread the news for ten or ten hundreds, and now he took out this jade seal when it was rumored, and it would not be so abrupt.
It's just that what auspicious rui fell from the sky, heaven and man inducted, that is just a pretext, the biggest auspicious rui should be Bao Ye desperately brought back this jade seal, which is also the absolute basis for why he was able to gain Zhu Di's trust.
Without this jade seal stepping stone, no matter how much he caters to the holy will with a bad stomach, it is difficult for him to have today's favor.
The sycophants of the ministers came and went, mostly touting Zhu Di's legitimacy and legitimacy, they were all human spirits, so they naturally picked what Zhu Di was willing to listen to.
And Zhu Di's purpose is not to really press the heads of these officials to admit it, but to publicize it through their mouths, so that the entire Ying Tianfu, and then the entire Great Tomorrow, will know that the jade seal, which has been lost for 500 years, will return to the imperial court!
What he wants is foolishness, and all sentient beings have no judgment, and will only follow the crowd. From top to bottom, the Manchu Dynasty spread the news that the new son of heaven, Zhu Di, had received auspicious fortune from heaven and regained the treasure of the Han people.
Once it spreads to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, it will be superb, and there will even be a story of Zhu Di single-handedly killing the dragon and taking the seal. In any case, the vast number of people will no longer think that he is a usurper, but a true dragon son under the induction of heaven and man!
This has an irreplaceable role for Zhu Di to control the local government and county.
Zhu Di put the jade seal on the tray, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this double happiness that I decided to choose a day to open a hundred liao banquets in this Mochou Lake Palace!" At that time, no matter how high or low the rank of the hundred officials in Beijing, the envoys can go straight to the palace from where they come from and enjoy the grand event with me. May the world be governed and happy forever!"
"Eternal prosperity, eternal happiness!!"
Hundreds of officials, so that the ministers of the mountain call salute, endlessly.
The envoys were all in high spirits, and when they heard that there was such a grand event, they were naturally looking forward to it.
It's just that in these overflowing faces, the envoy of Annan looked a little out of place, and in the midst of everyone's congratulations, the envoy of Annan walked out and saluted: "Playing the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Annan made a special trip to present a thousand strings of jewels, and the two heads of the king of mountains and forests to show respect."
Bao Yuanqian's eyes widened, and he noticed something unusual.
