Because Jingzhou, a rich state, was recovered, a huge amount of money and grain poured into Ji Han's treasury. The family base of this small country, which has been poor for 20 years, has finally begun to rise at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

In the end, after Shang Shutai summarized all the battle reports, he confirmed that all the deficits were incomplete. Since then, the court has no debts, and many of the rewards and expenses owed have been made up.

But I really have to thank Sun Quan for helping Dahan for so many years. The money and grain hoarded in Jingzhou alone is still a little surplus while making up for the deficit of the Han Dynasty!

At this time, Shang Shutai, who was completely free of pressure, unanimously decided to hold a banquet to celebrate this historic moment. For this reason, Jiang Wan personally went to the Hussar General's Mansion to invite Ma Tan, and implored Ma Tan to pull the prime minister together.

Ma Tan readily agreed, after all, who would refuse to party. What's more, after so many years, this is the first time that Ma Tan has participated in a large-scale banquet in the Three Kingdoms era.

So Ma Tan pulled all the hussar generals' mansions in Chang'an, and personally went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite Zhuge Liang.

Regarding Ma Tan's invitation, Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and did not refuse. However, he thinks that such an important moment is probably not appropriate for an official's banquet.

So, Shangshutai, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Hussar General's Mansion unanimously decided to invite Liu Chan over. Let His Majesty participate in the celebration together, and let Liu Chan brush up his prestige among the hundred officials.

The bonfire dinner was scheduled for a break, the official holiday of the Han Dynasty officials. On this day, all officials can go home from work, take a vacation, bathe, and enjoy life.

It is also at this time that the banquet will not affect the administration.

This dinner really opened Ma Tan's eyes, and he found that his previous banquets were nothing.

In the center is the super tripod that symbolizes the Son of Heaven, which is boiled over high heat. The civil and military officials were divided into seats, symbolizing power with seats.

And an official of Ma Yan's level naturally has to sit almost at the top. In addition to the seat of Emperor Liu Chan and the position of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, it is Ma Yan's seat.

However, at such a large-scale and high-standard banquet, there are actually not many delicacies that make Ma Yan's eyes shine. In this era when cooking techniques were still relatively backward, most of the food was meat sauce, and there was no trace of the wide variety of dishes in later generations.

"When I have time, sooner or later I'll have to popularize this cooking technique. If you continue like this, you will really become an ascetic. Ma Jian couldn't help but be disappointed when he looked at this seemingly dazzling, but in fact a single type of meal.

I was still poor and had nothing to do before, so there was no problem with just eating a little to deal with it. But now that they are all in the old capital, the government is not poor and white, and the quality of life must be improved a little.

Although extravagance is unacceptable, sometimes it is not a good thing to return to poverty.

At the very least, this coarse salt Ma Jian plans to find an opportunity to improve it, otherwise it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with the colorful coarse salt every day.

Fortunately, in addition to high-standard food, this dinner also included singing and dancing. As an additional program for Liu Chan to personally attend the banquet, all the palace maids in the palace were pulled up to sing and dance.

"I am gathered with all of you today, how can I not return with joy? All raise a glass with me, for the big man! Liu Chan looked very excited, which could be regarded as a chance for him to find a chance to celebrate.

Driven by him, all the civil and military officials were beaming with joy and raised their glasses to drink. In the center of the banquet, nearly 100 palace maids sang and danced in it, but Ma Tan seemed to see an acquaintance in it.

Eh, did I forget to give Cao Fang back the?

Tsk, it turns out that Your Majesty is also good at this.

At this time, Ma Dai, a veteran of the Hussar General's Mansion, suddenly spoke, leading all the generals of the General's Mansion to sing together.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! ”

"How can you be without clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with my son! ”

"How can you be without clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with my son! ”

A group of generals are interested, and Wenchen will naturally not lag behind. Jiang Wan personally led a group of ministers to respond to them with "Long Song Xing".

But at this time, Ma Jian himself suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhuge Liang and said,

"Prime Minister, such a grand dinner, why don't you come too?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Ma Jian and did not reply, which made Ma Jian a little embarrassed. But just when he thought that the prime minister was not good, Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his head and sang,

"Step out of the gate of Qi City and look into the shadows."

"There are three graves in it, and they are similar."

"Ask whose tomb it is, Tianjiang Guzhi clan."

"The power can row the South Mountain, and it can be the Jedi."

"Once slandered, two peaches kill three soldiers."

"Who can plan for this, Xiangguo Qi Yanzi!"

Zhuge Liang's sudden singing made all the officials in the audience, and even Liu Chan stunned. So much so that when Zhuge Liang finished singing, the audience was a little silent.

"Your Majesty! The old minister was a little out of shape. Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, arched his hand to Liu Chan and said.

"Where is the father, this is the true temperament!" Liu Chan reacted and immediately stood up and said.

Then all the officials reacted and cheered for Zhuge Liang. But Ma Jian saw Zhuge Liang's meaningful eyes towards him, which was obviously an exhortation to Ma Tan.

Zhuge Liang has been good for "Liang Fuyin" all his life, and he has always used this to remind himself to be humble and not to implicate ministers who have contributed to the country because of personal grievances.

"How about the hussar general come here for a while?" At this time, Fei Yi next to him also suddenly spoke, and happily pushed Ma Jian away.

"I'm not good at singing, and I'm shallow in a martial arts." Ma Jian hurriedly raised his hand in surrender and said humbly.

"This will become a martial artist again, your Ma Youchang's identity changes very quickly." Jiang Wan rolled his eyes and said bluntly.

"Han Yuefu chooses one by himself, it's a hussar general, so you have to have a section!"

In the end, he was forced to have no choice, Ma Tan could only apologize silently to his descendants, and in the end, he did not escape the fate of Wen Jiaogong.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and you can escape at night."

"If you want to chase away the light horsemen, the snow is full of bows and knives!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent again, and even Zhuge Liang's eyes were a little more surprised when he looked at Ma Yan.

"I can't see it, it's a young man, after so many years of fighting, the literary talent has not fallen." Jiang Wan was a little surprised, touched his chin and said,

"It's just that this format is a bit new, it seems that you are right, you are really not good at singing......"

Five-character poems have appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they are not the main body. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the format of Han Fu was still popular, and this kind of was a minority after all.

But no matter what, Ma Tan's poetry can still be clearly seen.

"Okay, Aiqing is all talented, which is the luck of the Han family." Liu Chan was also very happy, and raised his glass to Ma Yan.

"Your Majesty, Sishuhu?" At this time, Ma Tan suddenly asked a ghostly question.

"It's fun here, don't think about it." Liu Chan replied without thinking. But then before Zhuge Liang frowned, he smiled again and spoke.

"But Sishu is suitable for the monarchs and ministers of Zhu Aiqing."
