After a while, Han Zhen smiled and picked up his wine glass.

"Gentlemen, drink to win!"

"Drink to win!"

A group of ministers and envoys hurriedly picked up a glass of wine and shouted in unison.

After a meal, the palace maids who had been waiting for a long time began to pass the dishes.

Han Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart, it was finally served.

The first course, which is said to be a dish, is actually some exquisite pastries.

But the pastry is just the pastry, and the stomach is cushioned first.

Thinking of this, Han Shizhong picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as the pastry was in his mouth, his face froze.

It's so hard, and the taste is hard to describe......

At this moment, Wu Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the opposite side, reminded: "General Han, the first round of dishes is to look at the plate. ”

"I see."

Han Shizhong's face was embarrassed.

Han Zhen smiled: "Haha, the original way is to watch the plate, and I almost couldn't help eating." ”

"Haha."

These words caused a group of ministers to laugh.

Han Shizhong glanced at Han Zhen gratefully, how could the official family not know the etiquette of the state banquet, obviously to help themselves out of the siege.

In fact, these nine cups of wine are called the Nine Lamps Gift.

A cup of wine, a round of dishes, in the middle of each round of dishes, there are performances such as opera, music and dance, and the repertoire is also different.

The first four rounds were all about plates, fruits, preserves, etc., until the fifth wine, and finally the hard dishes were served.

Noodles and white meat cakes.

Suo Fan is mung bean vermicelli, and white meat Hu cake is equivalent to meat buns.

A state banquet is like that, it is part of the etiquette and is a political event.

Each dish has been set for a long time, and it has a name, if you want to taste delicious delicacies, it is better to go to the East and West Night Market, where the food is better than the state banquet.

However, Nie Dong and Wei Da are martial artists, and they can't control so much, so they eat when they are bored.

At the end of this day, even Xie Ding, Chang Yukun and other Wenchen were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they picked up chopsticks one after another.

Fortunately, after the sixth wine, the real hard dish was finally prepared.

Grilled meat, commonly known as a barbecue platter.

In the side hall.

Yao Pingzhong was gulping down the barbecue and asked, "How is General Liu's health?" ”

"Alas!"

Speaking of his father, Liu Qi sighed slightly: "The imperial doctors are helpless, and now they are holding a sigh of relief, and they can't say that they will walk in front of the old general." ”

Yao Pingzhong comforted: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, Brother Liu should look away. ”

Liu Qi asked rhetorically: "Does your father have any news?" ”

"No, I don't know if I'm alive or dead."

Yao Pingzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

His father Yao Gu was ordered to rush to the aid of Taiyuan together with the seed master three months ago, due to the urgent military situation, resulting in a serious disconnection between the front army and the Chinese army, and was ambushed by Wanyan Yinshuke at the intersection of Sanjiaokou, and the Song army was defeated.

The seed master was captured, Yao Gu was shot in the chest, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Even if he is still alive, he should be in the prisoner of war camp in Datong Mansion at this time, and it is difficult to come back.

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "Isn't the envoy of the Jin Kingdom here, let Your Majesty ask, if General Yao is still alive, the redemption will be over." ”

Yao Pingzhong said with an embarrassed face: "Don't hide it from my brother, my brother is now newly descended, and he has not made an inch, so where can he open his mouth to ask Your Majesty." ”

Seeing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but mock: "It's a shame that you have been an official for so many years, how can you be like an elm pimple." ”

"Brother has a way?"

Yao Pingzhong's expression changed, and he hurriedly picked up the wine cup to toast.

Liu Qi picked up the wine cup and touched it with him, and said in a low voice: "A while ago, the official family went to visit the old general. ”

"That's it?"

Yao Pingzhong waited for a while, and when he saw that the other party was gone, he couldn't help but look different.

"Are you really fucking stupid or fake!"

Liu Qi pursed his lips and said with hatred: "If the official family wants to easily take the Northwest Fifth Road, do they have to rely on a few of us?" Although my father is terminally ill, he is not dead in the end, and his uncles and brothers are all in Xizhou, and more than 10,000 soldiers under his command have not moved. At that time, with a shout, Lanzhou Xizhou will be able to be included in the territory of our Qi country without much effort. ”

"What about the Yao family? Just your only seedling, and now you are still in Beijing, do you think the official family will redeem your father? ”

The Yao family does not have many heirs like the Liu family, but the clan is sparse.

Yao Ji has two sons, Yao Xiong and Yao Gu.

Yao Xiong died early, and there were only two daughters under his knees, Yao Gu had no heirs, and Yao Pingzhong was still a righteous son from a distant clan.

If Yao Gu can't come back, then the influence of the Yao family's operation in the northwest will disappear in an instant.

"Wow!"

Yao Pingzhong slapped his thigh and suddenly came to his senses.

Liu Qi advised: "Tomorrow, you will make an excerpt, don't worry about the rest, the official family will deal with it." ”

"It's still my brother!"

Yao Pingzhong cocked his thumb, his face full of admiration.

Liu Qi said triumphantly: "Although I am young, I have not been in vain in the past few years. ”

"Brother will toast you again."

Yao Pingzhong solved a matter on his mind, his heart was settled, and he raised his glass again.

……

The state banquet lasted until late at night, and the civil and military officials left the imperial city drunk.

"Wow!"

Zhao Fujin lay on the bed and vomited profusely.

The white and delicate neck, because of too much force, faintly appeared a few blood vessels.

Zhao Fujin patted her back gently, seeing that her sister looked pained, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes.

After a while, Zhao Fujin lay down again, gasping for air.

Zhao Fujin took a wet handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and said: "Don't let you drink so much, in the end, it's you who suffers." ”

"Happy...... Besides, I'm the Queen...... Wouldn't it be ...... for a woman to toast How can you not drink it? ”

Zhao Fujin bared his tongue and said vaguely, his delicate appearance was very cute.

"You."

Zhao Fujin sighed helplessly.

"Sister!"

Zhao Fujin let out a kitten-like murmur, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, and arched his head over her.

Empress Mingda died early, Zhenghe left in three years, and Zhao Fujin was only five years old at that time, and his childhood was completely spent in Zhao Fujin's care.

The relationship between the two sisters can be seen.

Zhao Fujin gently stroked his sister's soft hair, his eyes full of love.

A moment later, Zhao Fujin fell asleep.

Bang Bang Bang ~

The sound of the three watches came from outside the hall.

Seeing that the time was not early, Zhao Fujin moved his body slightly, trying to break free of his sister's hands.

As if feeling the movement, the little girl's hands around her waist became tighter.

Seeing this, Zhao Fujin couldn't help but smile bitterly, intending to wait a little longer.

It's just that she also drank a lot of wine tonight, and her brain was dizzy at this time, and she fell asleep on the bed unconsciously.

……

In the study behind the Yanfu Palace.

Han Zhen sat at the back of the desk, quietly sipping tea.

Kang Gongbi stood there tremblingly, worried.

He didn't understand what Han Zhen had suddenly summoned him for after the state banquet.

After a moment, Han Zhen broke his silence and asked, "When will Envoy Kang return to the Jin Kingdom?" ”

"The minister plans to leave tomorrow."

Kang Gongbi replied truthfully.

Han Zhen tapped his fingers on the table and said, "The corpses of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom such as the Golden Vulture can be returned to you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Kang Gongbi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

"But ......"

However, this made Kang Gongbi's heart rise again.

Sure enough, he knew that there was no such thing.

I saw Han Zhen say: "However, Jin Guo needs to exchange prisoners of war." ”

Kang Gongbi stubbornly asked, "I don't know which prisoners of war Your Majesty wants to exchange?" ”

"Seed Master, Yao Gu!"

Han Zhen said two names.

"This ......"

Kang Gongbi's face was embarrassed.

It's not that they don't want to change, but these Zhao and Song prisoners of war are all in Datong, Shanxi, in the hands of Wanyan Zonghan.

Change it or not, let alone him, even Wanyan Wu begging to buy can't be the master.

Wanyan Zonghan is now the emperor of the soil, with soldiers and generals, money and food, three people in Bo Jilie support him, and there are also fierce generals and strategists such as Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Xiyin, and a group of Liao nobles.

Han Zhen naturally knew about it, so he said, "I know that you can't be the master of this matter, go back and discuss it." ”

"The minister retires!"

Kang Gongbi bowed and hurried out of the study.

After the other party left, Han Zhen instructed Yan Jie on the side: "It's not too early, you should rest early." ”

Yan Jie held a pen in one hand and a living note in the other, shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty has not slept, how can Weichen sleep first." ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen didn't bother to care about him, and got up and went to the Ruizhu Palace.

followed all the way to the outside of the Ruizhu Palace, and after seeing Han Zhen enter the palace with his own eyes, Yan Jie wrote with his pen: "The emperor stays in the Ruizhu Hall at night. ”

When he was done, he put away his pen and paper and turned to leave.

As a living houser, Yan Jie lives in the palace, but it is not a back garden, but a peripheral Jiying Palace.

……

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Outside the dormitory, two palace maids bowed down to salute.

"Hmm."

Han Zhen nodded and ordered, "The hour is not early, you don't have to stay here, go to bed early." ”

A palace maid was about to speak, but was stopped by another person, nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

With that, the two left in a hurry.

After walking a distance, one of the palace maids whispered: "Emperor Maode is still in the palace, this is not in accordance with the etiquette system." ”

Hearing this, another person scolded: "You are the head of the elm, can we mix this kind of thing?" What is the relationship between the saint and Emperor Maude, how can you not know that if the matter of Emperor Maude is ruined, you and I will be able to take care of it? ”

The palace maid was shocked, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Sister Peach." ”

The palace maid named Xiao Tao'er advised: "You remember, in this back garden, there are some things we can manage, and some things should only be invisible if we see them." ”

"I see."

The palace maid nodded solemnly.

……

Inside the dormitory.

The candle flame burned silently, emitting bursts of dim light.

Although the degree of rice wine and fruit wine at this time is low, I can't stand drinking too much.

At this time, the stamina came up, and Han Zhen's mind was a little dizzy.

Taking off his gown, he blew out the candles and walked to the bed.

Pulling away the layers of light veil, Han Zhen came to the bed in black and hugged a delicate body.

The big hand habitually climbed the fruit and the buttocks, but the next moment, his movements froze.

This feels, something is wrong!

How could he not know that this girl was so big.

Han Zhenjiu suddenly woke up and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. ”

A shy voice sounded in the darkness.

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Emperor Maode? ”

"Yes."

Zhao Fujin's face flushed with shame at this moment, feeling the heat coming from her big hand, she said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, can you let me go first, I should go back." ”

Han Zhen thought for a while and replied, "I'll come back tomorrow." ”

I'll be back tomorrow.

This...... What is this called?

Zhao Fujin only felt that the big hand on his buttocks began to make trouble, his whole body was sore, and his breathing became short.

"Yes...... But the rich money is still there. ”

Zhao Fujin was so ashamed that he was about to cry.

"If you make a quiet voice, don't wake her up."

Han Zhen said and slowly leaned down.
