"Bin'er, it's you! Come, come, drink with me!"

Lan Yu, who was drunk, noticed Lan Bin, who was supporting him, pulled Lan Bin forward with his backhand, picked up the wine bowl he was drinking with one hand, and handed it forward.

Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, took the wine bowl handed by Lan Yu, put it on the table casually, and said, "Dad, you're drunk, I'll send you back!"

"Nonsense, how can I get drunk if I don't pour a thousand cups!" Lan Yu stood up suddenly, her body swaying.

Still a thousand cups not poured?

Do you believe it or not, one finger of mine can make you fall instantly?

Lan Bin was speechless for a while, but his face followed: "Yes, yes, Dad, you are not drunk, you can't pour a thousand cups!"

As he spoke, he helped Lan Yu to leave the table, and said to Fu Youde and the others at the table, "Uncles and uncles, I'll send my father back first. If there is any rudeness, please also ask your uncles and uncles Haihan!"

"Well, send your dad back!"

Fu Youde and the others also drank their heads, waved their hands, and said gossiping.

"If I don't leave, I haven't drunk enough!" Lan Yu said drunkly.

"Dad, I'll send you back, let's go back and drink again!"

Lan Bin held Lan Yu's hand, used a little force, half-pulled and half-coaxed Lan Yu with him, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

As soon as he took two steps, suddenly a eunuch's voice came: "Lan Baihu stays, Lan Baihu stays!"

"Father-in-law, is there anything you want me to do?" Lan Bin, who was holding Lan Yu, stopped, looked at the eunuch who came in small steps, and said suspiciously.

The eunuch came to Lan Bin and the others, calmed down, his face was full of smiles, and said happily: "Congratulations to Lan Baihu, congratulations to Lan Baihu, the emperor ordered Lan Baihu to enter the palace in the afternoon and participate in the royal family banquet!!"

"Father-in-law, this is true!" Lan Yu, who was being supported, suddenly came to his senses, sobered up for three minutes, and said hurriedly.

As is customary, on the day of Halloween, there will be two birthday feasts.

A birthday banquet for hundreds of civil and military officials of the imperial court, or a birthday banquet requested by the emperor with a special will.

This kind of birthday banquet has a certain threshold, but it is relatively popular.

For example, at the birthday banquet that has just ended, civil and military officials and nobles of the imperial court in Beijing can bring their families to participate in the birthday banquet. The number of participants was not too large, but it was quite a few.

The other kind of birthday banquet is the royal family banquet.

Since the family banquet has the word "family", it is needless to say that the people who participated in the family banquet were the emperor's concubines, children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and so on.

There is not a single relative, a minister.

And now, the emperor made a special order to let Lan Bin attend the royal family's family banquet in the evening.

In particular, Lan Bin was the only minister who attended the royal family banquet.

What an honor, what a value.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Yongchang Hou said that he laughed, even if the slave maid has great courage, he will not dare to falsely pass on the holy oracle!"

"Hahaha... Okay, okay..."Lan Yu got an affirmative answer, as if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let Lan Bin attend the royal family banquet in the evening, but let him participate, and laughed ecstatically.

Lan Bin didn't feel anything about Zhu Yuanzhang letting him participate in the royal family banquet in the evening, others may think that it is an honor to participate in the royal family banquet, but in his opinion, the left and right are just a meal.

It's just a person who eats, and his status is noble.

Lan Yu's laughter alarmed the surrounding nobles, who gathered around and said curiously, "Lan Yu, what makes you laugh so happily?"

"Your Majesty, let my son attend the royal family banquet in the evening!" Lan Yu glanced at the nobles around him, tilted his head, and said proudly.

Fu Youde, who came up, widened his eyes: "Lan Yu, what you said is true?"

All the nobles also stared at Lan Yu closely, although they had also had the experience of dining with the emperor before, but they were all military exploits, and when the emperor rewarded the soldiers, he dined with them.

Or happen to meet in private and get the emperor's reward. Look at the book

They have never had the experience of being invited by the emperor to a royal family banquet.

Don't look at just one

A meal, that is a sign of the Holy Family.

Several times Huaixi nobles, Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there are only a few people who have this glory, such as Xu Da, Duke of Wei, Tang He, Duke of Xinguo, etc.

"When did I tell a lie?"

Lan Yu said unhappily, "Besides, the father-in-law who delivered the decree is here, you will know as soon as you ask!"

Fu Youde and the others just heard Lan Yu's words, they all scoffed, several times Huaixi Xungui, count your Lan Yu's favorite bragging, two out of ten sentences can be true, it is already very remarkable.

But when they heard the words behind, they looked at the eunuch in front of them, looked at each other, and their hearts were sour, we fought on the battlefield in blood, and made so many military exploits, but we were not invited by the emperor to participate in the royal family banquet.

Lan Bin, the son of Lan Yu, is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old doll, how can he be so valued by the emperor?

Also, why isn't Lan Bin our son?

God don't open your eyes!

"Bin'er, I'm drunk, send me back. Don't delay your evening at the royal dinner!" Lan Yu saw the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, and his face became even more proud, and he pretended to say.

Drunk now?

Just now I saw that when you heard that the emperor asked me to attend the royal family banquet, you were more energetic than anyone else, okay!

Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, knowing that Lan Yu said this on purpose, and he didn't break it, and swept Lan Yu's face. Instead, he obediently said, "Dad, I'll help you!"

As he spoke, he hugged Lan Yu, confessed to the nobles, and walked outside the palace.

The nobles looked at the backs of Lan Yu's father and son, their eyes full of envy and jealousy. …………

Qianqing Palace.

At the birthday banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of alcohol, sat on a chair, called Lu Gui, and said lightly: "Lu Gui, someone can talk about business taxes today!"

Two days ago, in order to see clearly who was supporting commercial taxation and who was opposing commercial taxation, who was secretly opposing commercial taxation under the guise of supporting commercial taxation, and so on.

After making a special trip to hint at the eunuchs in the palace that Lan Bin had suggested formulating a ladder tax rate, he arranged for Jinyi Wei to secretly monitor and collect the reactions of the Manchu civil and military forces.

Even though today is his birthday, he still arranges a large number of spies to monitor and collect the reactions of his ministers.

"Back to the emperor, before and after the birthday banquet, there are many people talking about business taxes!"

Lu Gui hurriedly said: "Among them, there are many important ministers of the court, honorable nobles!"

"Who are they, and what did they say?" Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised, and said lightly.

The collection of commercial taxes is the most controversial government in the current imperial court, and today it has gathered again, and the civil, military, and nobles who rarely gather together in ordinary times.

Some people talk about business taxes, but it's normal.

"The people below have recorded the people who discussed commercial taxes and their contents, and asked the emperor to read them!" Lu Gui took out a booklet from his long sleeves and handed it to the front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the booklet and read it carefully.

In the booklet, there is a detailed record of the remarks about commercial taxation, including but not limited to the families of civil and military nobles.

However, those remarks may be because they are in the palace, and at Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday banquet, there are few places out of line. Most of them are complaints, worries, and so on.

There were only a few people who were dissatisfied with the imperial court's reformulation of the commercial tax rate.
