Chapter 167: Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Maybe only a person like Zhu Yuanzhang, who waded in the sea of corpses and blood, could face this terrifying hell on earth.
He stared at the white bones and corpses in front of him for a moment.
This scene and the majestic Zhongdu City behind him form a very visually impactful composition, the capital of all evil.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice: "What about those missing people?" ”
"Some of them were executed before the emperor returned to his hometown." Han Yike endured his disgust and said, "There are also some who are secretly detained in more than a dozen warehouses. ”
After the failure of the Zhongdu uprising and the subsequent eleventh killing, there are still more than 200,000 people in the middle capital. If you just show it for the emperor, half of it won't be used.
Therefore, Li Shanchang can carefully select those craftsmen and people who are honest, obedient, easy to control, healthy and good-looking, and show them to Boss Zhu.
And those who are excessively weary, insensitive, and withered are all hidden by him......
But Han Gong didn't expect that the two princes had already visited the construction site of Zhongdu in person. The scene they saw and the emperor was very different.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to ask, where are the craftsmen and folk husbands who are not suitable for display?
"Have you rescued everyone?"
"Some of them were rescued, but time was limited, and there were still many that were not found." Han Yike hesitated for a moment and hissed: "The scene was really miserable at that time. ”
"Worse than that?"
"Yes. It's all dead here. Han Yike nodded without hesitation. But there were dead people, living people, and living dead people locked up side by side. In order to prevent being discovered by the emperor, the government did not send them food and drink, and the result can be imagined......"
"Cannibalism ......," Zhu Yuanzhang squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Yes, but the scene is ten times worse......" Han Yike said in a low voice.
"......" Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes painfully after hearing this, and suddenly slapped himself heavily.
"Your Majesty!" The crowd exclaimed.
~~
When the holy driver returned to the middle capital, it was already August 14.
Yu Linwei let Fangqiu Lake dry, so that tens of thousands of corpses could be seen again; and the discovery of the warehouse where the people were hidden, naturally it has already spread throughout the capital.
The entire upper echelons of the middle capital were silent, holding their breath and waiting for the Hongwu Emperor to rain down the wrath of thunder!
Who knew that he didn't wait for the emperor to attack, but he waited for the invitation from Boss Zhu to the noble heroes of Zhongdu and the old folks.
Invite them to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow night in the newly completed Fengtian Temple Square......
~~
"Xiangye, what does this mean?" Xue Xiang held the invitation card in his hand, feeling like he was holding a hot potato.
"There is no good feast." Li Shanchang had already adjusted, regained his will to fight, and said: "It's nothing more than cooking Ding Bin or Li Qi for everyone to celebrate the festival." Whatever he wants, it's okay to get me a piece of the pie. ”
"No......" Xue Xiang wanted to say, "No", but Boss Zhu had already roasted a Li You, and it was not surprising that he would bake the two goods again......
"You can't mess around at this time." Li Shanchang let out a long sigh, as if reminding him, and as if encouraging himself: "No matter how atmospheric and angry the superior student is, he can't move two of them at present." One is that they can't move these old Huaixi brothers, and the other is that they can't move the national policy of moving the capital. ”
"Hmm." Xue Xiang nodded.
"With these two amulets, we can't die." Li Shanchang said lightly: "The superior knows very well in his heart that my old Li has no big ambitions, at most he only has a small abacus. If you kill me and replace me with a careerist like Hu Weiyong, hehe, whether Huaixi will still be so submissive, no one can say. ”
"Hmm." Xue Xiang nodded a lot more this time.
"So I'm embarrassed at best; As for you, at best, you are dismissed. Li Shanchang took Xue Xiang's arm and got up and said:
"But as long as the relocation of the capital is successful, everything will be fine. At that time, we were like peonies next to peonies, no matter how many times they were cut, they would grow back. And the more it blooms, the more it blooms, it is so full that people can't tell which is the peony and which is the peony! ”
"Understood, Xiangye." Xue Xiang was a little relieved.
~~
The next day, the end of the sign.
The nobles, meritorious heroes, and emperor's fellow villagers who received the invitation came to Hongwu Gate one after another, accepted the inspection of the guards, and prepared to enter the palace for a banquet.
It's just that the guests are full of fear, bowing their heads and saying nothing, and the atmosphere is very solemn. It didn't look like going to a banquet, it looked like it was going to the execution ground.
Boss Zhu's meal is really worrying.
The last time he invited someone to dinner, he ended up performing a big roast of a living person. This time, I invited someone to dinner again, and I don't know what tricks I am going to play......
Everyone has on their stomachs and ghosts in their hearts, so it's strange if they don't be afraid.
But I'm afraid I have to come. Whoever dares not to come, it is estimated that the forbidden army will come to the door to ask for prison meals in the next moment......
Everyone entered the palace worriedly, and under the guidance of the inner servants, they entered the Daming Gate, the Wumen Gate, and the Fengtian Gate.
When they passed through the gates of the palace, they felt like turtles in an urn, and they were still an urn and an urn, and they didn't want to escape from the palm of Boss Zhu's hand!
The banquet was set up on the wide Dan Majesty in front of the Fengtian Palace, and only two rows of long tables were set up on the left and right sides, leaving a large piece in the middle.
There was also a carpet in the middle, and it was clear that there was a good show going on.
What surprised the guests even more was that the emperor had already sat down on the golden platform.
Boss Zhu's right arm was propped up on the table, his right hand was on his cheeks, and he looked at the people walking on the platform expressionlessly.
Everyone hurriedly kowtowed, Zhu Yuanzhang only bowed slightly, and there was no more expression. It is very different from the way in the past, when I saw my fellow countrymen and brothers, I got up to greet them without any srest, and called my brothers and brothers warm greetings.
Boss Zhu didn't speak, no one dared to sit, the guests all stood honestly on His Majesty, bowed their heads and didn't dare to look at the emperor, and no one was like usual, and they were close to him.
After all the guests arrived, they bowed to the emperor again, and Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves and said, "Sit down." ”
"Your Majesty." Everyone thanked each other in unison, got up and sat down.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Today is August 15, you are either old brothers who accompany us to fight the world; Either after the founding heroes; Or, let's break the bones and tendons. So I'm going to invite you here today for a reunion festival together. ”
"Your Majesty." Everyone hurriedly thanked them again.
"Let's pass the meal and talk while eating." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and music played.
In the music, the palace people held the vermilion lacquer tray and put the dishes on the long table.
Everyone saw that although it was still four dishes and one soup, there was actually a meat dish.
"It's okay, it's better than the first day of the new year." Someone whispered.
"Nonsense, if you look carefully, it's bitter intestines!" The smart man saw the mystery at a glance and said: "Almonds mixed with bitter chrysanthemum, stewed small intestines with bitter gourd, fried snow mushrooms with bitter bamboo shoots, and bitter vegetable soup...... What Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet? This is clearly a Mid-Autumn Festival feast......"
Ps. Fifth update, thank you for your understanding. This Jialiu is really evil, and after the two babies, my wife has symptoms again......
Every tomorrow's update will definitely be affected.,Anyway, I'm going to hurry up with all the timecode words.。
