Chapter 224: When the dynasty is angry
Eight people carried the sedan chair and said that it was impossible, it was swaying along the way, which made people want to sleep.
I don't know what kind of sedan chair carried by Zhang Shoufu's thirty-two people will be like.
Just when Zhao Ding was thinking about the thirty-two sedan chair in his heart.
Su Changmao and Zhao Ding had already walked to the door of the Beiliang Palace.
looked at the Beiliang Palace, which was still heavily guarded in front of him.
Zhao Ding couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
Do you want to cooperate with Hu Tiansheng completely and cripple Beiliang.
After all, the strong Beiliang is not necessarily a good ally, but the weak Beiliang must be an iron-clad ally.
But this matter still has to be pondered again.
got off the sedan chair and followed Su Changmao all the way to the palace.
Maybe it's to show sincerity.
This time when he entered the palace, in the past, he had to take the road from the periphery to the inner court, and Xiao Daocheng specially set up a sedan chair carried by four people, which was still the kind in the open air.
The taste of going up and down.
Make it up for yourself.
So when Zhao Ding saw that the sedan chair was coming, in Su Changmao's stunned eyes, Zhao Ding directly chose to walk.
After all, it's better to be down-to-earth.
Of course, the main reason is that his old waist can't stand such a toss.
And just like that, after another half an hour.
A magnificent hall appeared in front of Zhao Ding's eyes.
Wait for Zhao Ding to come.
The hustle and bustle inside the palace had stopped, and the long table was filled with all kinds of delicacies unique to the Northern Liang court.
Not only Xiao Daocheng sat on the main seat, but Xiao Dingxuan also accompanied him.
Due to the regulations of the Northern Liang harem that no political interference is allowed.
After Beiliang was uncrowned, Chen Guifei did not appear on this occasion.
Chen Guifei is not there, and Xiao Yunu's little girl is naturally not there.
But not being there is a good thing for Zhao Ding.
After all, if it goes too far, it will be a little unreasonable in front of the future daughter-in-law.
In addition, he was accompanied by several ministers of Northern Liang.
Looking at the old age, as well as the official robes he was wearing, although he didn't know the identities of these ministers, Zhao Ding could almost guess that these people should be Xiao Daocheng's real henchmen, and they were also the most powerful handfuls of people in Northern Liang.
After Su Changmao sent Zhao Ding to the door, he didn't follow him in.
After all, although Su Changmao's power in Beiliang is quite high, no less than Wang Lishi, but in the final analysis, he is a eunuch, a eunuch, and a person who does not enter the ancestral grave after death, so his natural status is a little too much.
"The foreign minister greets Your Majesty, and wishes Your Majesty a long life and eternal blessings."
Although eighty percent of the meeting will be sprayed, but at the moment, this etiquette still has to be done.
Seeing Zhao Ding saluting respectfully, Xiao Daocheng's old face also showed a hint of a smile, smiled and waved his hand, signaling Zhao Ding to get up,
Then he asked with a smile: "Come and sit next to me, let me see, I haven't seen you for a few days, King Yan has been gone, and I have a place where I am not well entertained." β
"Not really."
Zhao Ding replied with a smile.
The so-called reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Seeing Xiao Daocheng beckoning, Zhao Ding naturally sat in the vacant position on Xiao Daocheng's left, and on Zhao Ding's right, it was no longer Sun Lanhu Tiansheng's envoys who were sitting on it, but his eldest brother Xiao Dingxuan.
Seeing Zhao Ding's gaze at this moment, Xiao Dingxuan smiled gently at Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding also smiled gently and returned the salute.
But in the bottom of my heart, I was muttering to myself, don't worry about the eldest brother later.
After Zhao Ding took his seat.
The maids, who had been standing in the main hall for a long time, also began to distribute dishes and chopsticks to the table in turn.
It didn't take long for everyone to have an extra pair of golden bowls and jade chopsticks in front of them.
Looking at such a luxurious scene, even Zhao Ding had to sigh.
The royal family is a real luxury.
The gold and jade worth thousands of gold are used to make dishes and chopsticks, but ordinary people are still selling their children and daughters for those few dollars, they are really under the same roof, but they are completely different worlds.
Seeing that Zhao Ding didn't mean to move the chopsticks.
Xiao Daocheng asked with some curiosity: "Why hasn't King Yan moved his chopsticks yet, is it because my Liang's dishes are not in line with King Yan's taste?"
Why don't you order someone to remove it and let the cook in the imperial dining room do it again? β
Glancing at the chickens, ducks and fish on the table, and even rare things such as bear's paws and fish bones, Zhao Ding's face twitched slightly, and he waved his hand: "That's not necessary, just looking at these delicacies, some of the kings think of the people of Youzhou." β
Zhao Ding shirked.
"It seems that King Yan is also a person who is sympathetic to the people."
Xiao Daocheng laughed at the right time.
I didn't go any further.
After glancing at the people present, he signaled the banquet to begin, and ate by himself.
Seeing that Xiao Daocheng didn't mention it, Zhao Ding was naturally happy to pretend to be naΓ―ve, and he also buried his head in eating and drinking.
In this way, after the meal has passed thirty years, and the dishes have passed after the five flavors.
Xiao Daocheng took the Jinpa handed over by the palace maid and wiped his mouth, looked at Zhao Ding with a smile and asked, "I heard that Lord Yan saw that Dayu person." β
Hearing Xiao Daocheng's words, Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows.
It's finally here!
However, his face did not show anything, he still lowered his head and ate what he was holding, and replied vaguely: "See." β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many of the ministers of the Northern Union present changed slightly.
His eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding said yes, but it was too direct.
It was Xiao Daocheng who looked at Zhao Ding with some surprise, and said with a meaningful emotion: "Lord Yan is very down." β
Zhao Ding wiped the grease stains on his mouth, raised his head and looked at Xiao Daocheng and said: "Your Majesty can send the spies of the Imperial City Division to the surroundings of this king's mansion, but this king is hiding it, won't Your Majesty know?" β
Zhao Ding also put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Xiao Daocheng with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Xiao Daocheng suddenly smiled, and his old face was like a dry corpse: "It makes sense." β
Zhao Ding also smiled: "Yes, this king also thinks it makes sense, of course, if this king doesn't admit it, Your Majesty can assume that this king has not seen that Hu Tiansheng, and this king is naturally happy to say that he has not seen it." β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several Beiliang ministers present changed slightly.
It's that Xiao Dingxuan's face has changed.
The smell of gunpowder between Zhao Ding and his father was too strong.
A middle-aged scribe sitting next to Xiao Dingxuan couldn't help but open his mouth and scolded: "Bold Zhao Ding, you are a little prince, how can you be so rude to Your Majesty?" β
Hearing this, Zhao Ding raised his head and glanced at the person who spoke, his brows furrowed slightly.
Somewhat familiar.
It seems to have been killed!
"Are you Chen Xuankai?"
Zhao Ding asked with a smile.
"Exactly!"
Chen Xuankai nodded.
"Chen Xuanli is your younger brother?"
Zhao Ding squinted and asked.
Chen Xuankai's face was also cold: "It's my younger brother." β
Hearing this, Zhao Ding suddenly smiled: "Do you want to avenge your brother today?" β
Chen Xuankai is still the secretary of the Northern Liang Military Department, born in a family of military generals, and his younger brother Chen Xuanli is called Shuangchen, and is one of the major families of the Northern Liang family.
He had seen the information about this man on his way before he came.
I didn't expect to finally see the main lord today.
"Come, this king is waiting for you here!"
Zhao Ding laughed and looked at Chen Xuankai coldly.
"You!"
Seeing Zhao Ding's expression, Chen Xuankai was suddenly furious.
Especially when he heard Zhao Ding directly mention Chen Xuanli in front of him, his face was even more cold than ever, "Zhao Ding, this place is not a big Qian, but my big beam, don't know the proportions, I really think that this official will not dare to kill you!" β
Zhao Dingtou stretched out directly and touched his neck: "Come, this king's head is placed here, if you dare to cut it, this king will let you cut it!" β
After saying this, he looked at Chen Xuankai coldly: "If you don't dare, shut up for me." β
"You!"
Chen Xuanli opened his mouth, his bones were even more pale, and bloodshot appeared in his eyes.
But he really didn't dare! Especially now is the current situation in Beiliang, he doesn't dare even more!
Looking at the tense posture of Zhao Ding and Chen Xuankai, Xiao Daocheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the nations are fighting, you live and die, Chen Xuanli is loyal to the country on the battlefield, and King Yan shoots Chen Xuanli on the battlefield, which is also loyal to the country."
Since there is nothing wrong, then why bother here, let him pass the past. β
After speaking, Xiao Daocheng looked at Chen Xuankai again and instructed, "Xuankai sit down." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Listening to Xiao Daocheng's words, even if Chen Xuankai was reluctant, he could only sit down.
Watching Chen Xuankai sit down, Xiao Daocheng looked at Zhao Ding with a smile: "Lord Yan, this is a resentment against me." β
Hearing Xiao Daocheng's words, Zhao Ding also grinned and said, "If there is resentment, it won't be enough, but it's all reasonable."
It's just that this king wants to remind some people that it is right to ride the wall left and right and bet on both sides, but it also depends on their own reality, otherwise, it is that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and in the end, they will lose all the plates. β
"A good person's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, and a good one loses all the plates, interesting, really interesting."
Xiao Daocheng stroked his long beard and looked at Zhao Ding with a smile, but there was already a faint cold light in the depths of his old eyes.
Zhao Ding's words were not so much scolding Chen Xuankai, but rather scolding him Xiao Daocheng, betting left and right, not keeping credibility, and having no morality at all.
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, the faces of many of the Northern Liang ministers present were also slightly cold.
Although Zhao Ding's words were not directly scolded, they were more ruthless than direct scolding, and there was a threat in them.
Xiao Dingxuan's complexion is also a little unpleasant.
In the final analysis, Zhao Ding is scolding him.
Although he also felt that his Lao Tzu was a bit dishonest in doing this, it was not something that Zhao Ding could blame.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became delicate.
It was the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire hall who were in charge of serving that they were so frightened that they hurriedly buried their heads deeply.
Don't dare to look at it more, and don't dare to listen more!
Don't get into trouble!
