After sending Zhang Liang and the three away, it was almost the winter solstice.

Thinking about how many things have happened in the past year, every time I talk to those ministers in the court, I talk about political affairs, and I inevitably clash with some people. Moreover, since I came to Daqin, I have not learned about the personal situation of these ministers in detail, so I decided to hold a palace banquet on the winter solstice.

When Ying Zheng was alive, he rarely held large-scale banquets, except for the ceremonies stipulated by the imperial court, there were basically no music palace banquets in film and television dramas that sang and danced all day long.

I ordered Shaofu Fengsi to prepare the palace banquet, and separately notified the three princes and Jiuqing to take their families to Pingzhangtai to participate in the palace banquet on the day of the winter solstice. Several people were flattered after receiving the news, if Yingzheng was alive, how could he have such grace.

In the blink of an eye, it is the day of the winter solstice.

When I arrived at Pingzhangtai, all the people invited to the palace banquet had already arrived.

Looking at the people saluting in front of me, I smiled and said, "No courtesy." Today is not a court meeting, I feel that the princes have done their best for Daqin, and this banquet is specially set up to comfort the princes, and there is no need to be formal. ”

Everyone thanked them and sat down.

I looked at the men, women and children in the hall, and I was also full of emotion for a while.

looked at Li Si and said, "I don't go out of the palace very much on weekdays, and I am not familiar with the wives of the princes, can you introduce me to me?" Let's start with Lee Sang. ”

Li Si hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent." ”

Then he looked at the people around him and introduced them one by one: "Your Majesty, this is the wife of the minister, Li, who is from an ordinary background, and there are no words; Li You, the eldest son of the minister, is currently the county guard of Sanchuan, so he was unable to come; This is Li Jie, the second son of the minister, who is currently the bus Sima Ling; This is the minister's youngest daughter Li Shiyun, the year of the golden hairpin. This time, I was fortunate to be summoned by His Majesty, and I was grateful. ”

After speaking, several people saluted together and thanked them.

I nodded, "Well, that's good." Li Xiang worked tirelessly for Daqin, and his children are also talented. I received a report from Ge Yue yesterday that Li You was quite attentive in the search for graphite mines, and had found two mineral deposits for my Daqin, and I would definitely reward them for the official production of ores. ”

Li Si was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years!"

Then there was Feng Quji.

Feng Quji himself has nothing to say, and has only one son, which is the imperial historian Feng Zheng, so he only introduced his wife Bai Yunying.

But I paid special attention to this Bai Yunying! This woman is not ordinary!

Then Feng Zheng got up and said, "Your Majesty, this is Feng Qi, the wife of the minister; The two sons, one Feng De and the other Feng Shui, take the meaning of Deshui, which is intended to serve my Daqin like Deshui. ”

After that, Jiuqing introduced it in turn.

When it was Bai To's turn, Bai Too got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's wife is no longer a minister, only one son, Bai Tai, is over twenty years old, and now he is farming in Yi County, and he has never been an official in the court." ”

Bai Tou was not among the Three Princes and Nine Emperors, but it occupied an important position in the army of the Qin Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty set up a taiwei, no one has served since its establishment, so the three princes of the Qin Dynasty should be four, but in fact there are only three.

Although no one holds the position of Tai Lieutenant, except for the transfer of troops, the power of the Protector Commander is no less than that of the Tai Lieutenant. In charge of military affairs, commanding generals, and supervising military affairs, I don't know how much more power is greater than that of a state lieutenant who only nominally manages the army.

Seeing that everyone had finished introducing me, I got up and said, "Drink this cup for my Great Qin." ”

Everyone stood up and said in unison: "Great Qin Wannian, Your Majesty Wannian!" ”

Then the palace banquet officially began, and the bell in the palace rang for a while, and it was happy.

It was not until the palace lights were first turned on that the palace banquet gradually entered a low ebb.

I got up and smiled, and said, "Today, I will go to the banquet with the wife of Zhu Qing." I have ordered Feng Si to prepare the carriages and horses, and send the wives and children back to the mansion, and I will talk to Zhu Qing about some things between men. ”

Everyone laughed at first, and then thanked him and left the palace.

I and the ministers who stayed behind were transferred to Heisho Palace behind Heijodai.

After everyone sat down, I smiled and said, "Are you still satisfied with the palace banquet I arranged?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Then I started chatting with everyone, nothing more than nonsense about how the children were studying, and how the family could be harmonious.

Seeing that everyone was a little drunk, I suddenly spoke: "I heard an anecdote a few days ago, talking about having fun with Zhuqing. ”

Then I told the story of Sima Li's family of four.

When I finished speaking, everyone was still a little drunk. If I don't even understand the purpose of telling this story, I'm afraid that the head of Xiang Shang has already changed hands.

Seeing that everyone didn't reply, I chuckled: "It's just a story, today is not a court meeting, you can speak freely, I will never pursue it." ”

I glanced at Bai Throw and said, "Bai Throw, you are the captain of the Protector Army, this matter is related to the army, what do you think?" ”

A gleam flashed in Bai To's eyes, and he replied: "Your Majesty, this is nonsense. Although there are no major wars in my Great Qin, Beihu has repeatedly invaded and Baiyue has often rebelled, not to mention the rebellion of Huiji and Surabaya after His Majesty ascended the throne. If the military merit system is abolished, I am afraid that my Great Qin soldiers will slack off in battle, and what should I do if I encounter a rebellion again? ”

I nodded, noncommittal, his objection was expected.

I asked Li Si again: "What does Li Xiang think?" ”

Li Si thought about it for a moment and said, "The minister thinks that His Majesty's worries are not unreasonable. The white guards said that the soldiers were sluggish, and the ministers did not dare to agree. If all of my Great Qin's soldiers are fighting for money, why does the imperial court need to pay military salaries? As long as the reward for killing the enemy is increased, there will naturally be countless leaders who will fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”

Bai Toan did not refute, and the others pretended to be deaf and dumb.

I had to name him: "Feng Xiang? ”

Feng Quji did not hesitate and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Li Xiang said is good. However, what Bai Hujun said is not unreasonable. The minister thought that this matter had to be considered in the long run. ”

I cursed in my heart: 'I told you everything!' If in the next life, I will find you a job at the construction site to do so, and it will be a pity that you don't go to the construction site with the ability to thin the mud! ’

Seeing that no one dared to speak out about this, I laughed: "It's okay, I'm just hearing about it." Today is a rare leisure day, regardless of political affairs. Drink this cup together. ”

Seeing that I didn't hold on, everyone's hearts were relieved, and the temple gradually became active.

It's just that the vibe has gotten a little weird.

After holding on for a while, I saw that everyone had no intention of drinking again, so I ordered the banquet to end.

Watching Bai Throw walk out of Pingzhang Palace, my eyes narrowed slightly.

In the middle of the day, the voice of the torture sounded in the empty hall of the four seas: "Your Majesty, there is news!" ”

I put down my pen.

"According to the clean room probe. Bai Too said to the outside world that his son Bai Tai was only farming in Yi County, but in fact, he covered the sky in Yi County, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil. ”

"Bai Xiancheng, the patriarch of the Bai clan, is already seventy years old this year and has been bedridden all year round. If it weren't for the fact that Bai Throw often needed to go to the county to supervise the army because of his official position, the patriarch of the Bai clan would have been Bai Throw. Now that Bai Tuo is not in Yi County, his son Bai Tai is actually equivalent to the patriarch. ”

"There is a list circulating in Yixian County, which lists in detail all the people of the Bai clan, there are five or six hundred people. The people of Yixian County almost have one book per family, and they are afraid of accidentally offending the Bai clan. ”

"There is also a saying that ......"

I said lightly: "Speak." ”

"In Yixian, you can not know who the emperor is, but you must not know who the patriarch of the Bai clan is."

After listening to the sentence, I signaled that I already knew. When Bai Tou objected to my appointment of Zhang Han, I had already asked the criminal to secretly investigate the details of the Bai clan.

Now that I hear the performance of the execution, I think of Feng Quji's wife, Bai Yunying......
