Chapter 401: Celebration Banquet? Hongmen Feast!
The golden wuxi falls, and night falls.
Wen Haoxuan was worried that Chu Mo would break his promise again and cause Li Deyi to blame, and in the first half an hour of the time, Wen Haoxuan ordered the groom to drive the carriage to the Shizi Mansion.
This move made Chu Mo a little crying and laughing.
Helpless, Chu Mo could only follow Wen Haoxuan to the palace in a carriage. It's just that when Chu Mo got into the carriage, Wen Haoxuan called Yu Zixuan to go with him.
His Majesty said that he wanted to invite all the people who had made meritorious contributions to the enemy to participate in this celebration banquet, which made Chu Mo's uneasiness in his heart stronger and stronger.
Late at night.
Jiying Hall is brightly lit.
The officials of the six ministries, large and small, the cabinet elders, and the important ministers of the court were all within the scope of the invitation to this celebration banquet.
Outside the Jiying Palace, there are hundreds of soldiers who are excited and waiting for rewards.
At this time, the Jiying Hall was surrounded by a hundred and ten small tables, and the celebration banquet of the palace was not for everyone to sit on one table, but for each person to eat at a small table, Li Deyi sat in the chairman, and everyone would leave the small table and walk around only when they clinked glasses and drank.
Every official who went to the banquet had already arranged their seats according to their status, and as soon as they entered the palace, a little eunuch would immediately lead them over.
The chairmanship of today's celebration banquet is naturally Emperor Li Deyi, and the positions of those meritorious ministers are arranged in the center of the Jiying Palace, and the positions of the ministers of the court and the central government are on both sides.
After all the officials who came to the banquet sat down, it didn't take long for Li Deyi to come to the Jiying Hall surrounded by a group of entourage, and all the ministers got up to greet each other, and only after Li Deyi sat down, the ministers sat down one after another.
Li Deyi raised his glass and said a toast again, and the celebration banquet officially began.
Nearly 100 palace maids, little eunuchs kept shuttling between these 100 small tables, serving delicious dishes one after another, and the ministers also came and went, smiling on their faces, and constantly toasting each other.
Especially Wen Zijin and others who were sitting at the front, after all, this celebration banquet was held for them, and they did not refuse to come to toast those who came to toast, and soon, under the stimulation of alcohol, several people's faces began to turn red, and their eyes gradually became a little blurred.
Li Deyi, who was on the chairman's seat, looked at this warm and harmonious scene with a smile on his face, his eyes kept passing over the ministers, and when his eyes passed Chu Mo's location, Li Deyi's gaze couldn't help but stay on Chu Mo.
"King of Beiliang."
At this moment, Li Deyi's faint voice sounded in the gathering point, and the originally noisy celebration banquet suddenly became quiet, and the eyes of all the ministers present couldn't help but look at Chu Mo.
"The minister is here."
Chu Mo immediately stood up and arched his hand towards Li Deyi.
"This time Kyoto can save the day, I know that Aiqing has made great contributions, if it weren't for Aiqing to draw a sword to help, I'm afraid that the Great Martial Dynasty would have fallen into the hands of the rebels, this cup of wine, I must respect you."
As he spoke, Li Deyi picked up his wine glass and stood up.
"Your Majesty is serious, this matter is just what you should do as a courtier."
Chu Mo also stood up immediately, took the wine glass, and said with a look of sincere fear.
"Hahaha, Aiqing's words are serious. King Jin Ke had already told me that if it weren't for Aiqing leading a large army to ambush these rebels from behind at a critical moment, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose in this trouble. It can be said that without Aiqing, this Kyoto and this imperial palace will fall. It can be said that without Aiqing, this Great Martial Dynasty will no longer be my Great Martial Dynasty."
The smile on Li Deyi's face never dissipated, but as soon as these words came out, the hearts of many ministers present were slightly shocked.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, these people are all people who have been officials for decades, how can they not hear the meaning of Li Deyi's words.
Without Chu Mo, Yan Feng would have been able to successfully rebel this time.
In other words, it was with Chu Mo that there was the Dawu Dynasty that is now safe and sound.
At this moment, Chu Mo's heart was cold, and he naturally knew Li Deyi's words, it seems that Li Deyi already knew about the affairs of the Beiliang Army and the Chu Family Army, today
Whether this banquet is a celebration banquet or a Hongmen banquet is a matter of two opinions.
Chu Mo didn't blame Li Chengwen for telling Li Deyi these things, even if Li Chengwen didn't say it, Li Deyi would know about it from other people.
Moreover, Chu Mo also knew that Li Chengwen said these things just to ask for credit for himself.
Wen Haoxuan, who was sitting at the table next to Chu Mo, also sensed that something was wrong at this moment, and immediately stood up and arched his hand towards Li Deyi: "Your Majesty is laughing, without Your Majesty, how can you come to the Dawu Dynasty, and if you don't have the Dawu Dynasty, how can you come to the King of Beiliang."
After speaking, Wen Haoxuan looked at Chu Mo and immediately nodded at him.
Seeing this, although Chu Mo was reluctant, he still raised his wine glass and saluted Li Deyi, and at the same time said: "What my father-in-law said is even, Your Majesty is the king of the Dawu Dynasty and the king of this world, and this glass of wine should be respectful to Your Majesty."
After speaking, Chu Mo raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
Hearing this, Li Deyi smiled even more, and no one knew what Li Deyi was thinking at this time.
This celebration banquet was originally joyful, but because of this incident, the atmosphere at the celebration banquet became a little depressing.
As if feeling a little bored, Chu Mo excused himself to say goodbye to Li Deyi under the pretext of being unwell.
Li Deyi just nodded lightly and did not stop him.
Immediately, Chu Mo took Yu Zixuan and left Juying Point under the gaze of the ministers.
It's just that when Chu Mo and the two left, Li Deyi's eyes were fixed on his back, and the essence of his eyes flickered.
Leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Chu Mo immediately asked Yu Zixuan to drive the carriage to the Peach Blossom Spring.
Although Kyoto has experienced war, the business of Peach Blossom Garden has not been affected much, and it is still overcrowded.
After coming to the Peach Blossom Spring, Chu Mo found Qian Xiangyang, and at the same time told what happened at today's celebration banquet.
"Young master, is this dog emperor trying to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
Qian Xiangyang said with a frown.
"In his eyes, I was just a gentleman, a person who didn't learn anything, so he wasn't wary of me. But now, I'm afraid that he already knows about the existence of the Chu family army and the Beiliang army, and today's celebration banquet is nothing more than a test of me."
Chu Mo said indifferently.
"So what should we do now?"
Yu Zixuan frowned.
"Take precautions, let the Chu family army in Kyoto evacuate as soon as possible, and the black market side must also make preparations in advance. Since Li Deyi already knows these things, he will inevitably let the people who lead the prisoners start to investigate, and sooner or later the black market will be exposed to the eyes of the imperial court."
Chu Mo spoke.
"Good! I'll do it right now!"
Yu Zixuan didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately turned around and left.
Qian Xiangyang, on the other hand, left the Peach Blossom Spring, found a part of the Chu family army in Kyoto through special contact information, and at the same time conveyed the order to evacuate.
