Celebration banquet

Shangguan Yi and Wang Gonggong pretended to be dead until they entered the palace and had to get out of the carriage, they suddenly opened their eyes as if they had just woken up, and looked at the two people opposite very seriously, as if they didn't listen to a word of the conversation between the two people in the middle, in fact, they listened to a word without missing a word.

On the way, Shangguan Yi actually wanted to stop because he was not the one who wanted to enter the palace, he wanted to jump out of the car halfway back to his residence, but the emperor's car was always watched, and if he let the emperor stop halfway, it would be too conspicuous to put himself down. You must know that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are following behind, they don't know that there is a Shangguan Yi inside, and getting off at the end can also be explained as "because of saving the emperor with his life, he has won some of the emperor's favor", stop halfway and let you go down, if you don't have a special internal situation, how can you be deed?

Shangguan Yi knows that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, if it is known that a large part of the credit for the perfect curtain call of this battle for the throne is his own, and even Yue, Mao is pulled over by himself, he is afraid that he will be assassinated by the people of the Demon Dao, it is the kind of situation that the great master of the four heavens may not be able to protect him at any time.

This is not an exaggeration, you must know that the appearance of a Tianjiao, the Demon Dao is not completely unacceptable, but like Shangguan Yi, who is very strong in his own right, and has a close connection with various forces, Tianjiao is different, which means that he has the potential to become the leader of the righteous path, once this possibility comes true, the threat to them in the future can be said to be fatal.

So Shangguan Yi is very low-key, as low-key as possible, he even wants to find an opportunity to give up this vest to save his life, so how dare he make something special in front of everyone.

"Stay and attend tonight's celebration, right?" The emperor suddenly said to Shangguan Yi when he got off the car, she naturally knew what this guy thought, he didn't care about these twists and turns, he was not an official in the court, there would be no official promotion rewards, and even he didn't care what reward he could give him, because he could find what he wanted by himself or ask his friends to help find it, a person with a temperament and strength like him, there must be a lot of friends, right? He will not let others suffer, so it is very willing to help others. Desireless and wantless, he naturally wanted to slip away early, and it was the same for him to be himself.

"Ahh If the emperor doesn't say it, forget it, he can slip away if he wants to, but since the emperor invited her, he can't save her face.

"Of course, how can you not sit down?" the emperor smiled, the place where the celebration was held was in a special hall, and besides, there were not so many people who actually participated in the celebration, except for the people who really had merit, there were only some important officials, because she had something to announce, and these people were the first listeners and needed their help to do these things.

"Well, then you're welcome, royal food or something, I've been wanting to eat it for a long time. Shangguan Yi finished speaking with a smile, followed the emperor to get off the carriage, and went to find Yue Zhengdao, the little monk and Hua Xiangrong and others, they were going to let Yue Zhengdao take him to walk around the palace first, and then participate in the evening celebration banquet.

The size of the palace is huge, this is an undoubted thing, especially the older the dynasty, the larger the size of its palace, after all, people's desires can never be satisfied, and if you have something, you will continue to crave more things. In the boring years, always thinking about having fun, expanding the palace, and building strange buildings might be a good choice?

Yue Zhengdao took a few people to walk around for an hour and finally disarmed and surrendered, he actually didn't have this mind, don't ask why, he just didn't want to see these beautiful scenery with these single dogs, he wanted to go back to talk to his father to the Chen family about family affairs. Although he didn't turn the tide this time, he made a lot of credit, and it is not too much to say that he was taking credit, right? At the beginning, I was afraid that I would die because of this series of things, and I would fail and be punished, so I didn't dare to tell that girl, but now it's different, I returned with a big victory, made contributions in this battle for the throne, and married her with such a prestige, shouldn't it be a smear on her face? Although it is not the kind of situation that everyone envies when they mention it, he really can't wait, and he will try to make the world change their views in the future, so that they dare not look down on her.

"I'll tell you, it's useless to be anxious, my wife is there, I can't be in a hurry, it's better to be steady, otherwise how can people rest assured that they will hand over their daughter to you." Several people came to a pavilion to sit down, Shangguan Yi sat on the stool, lying on the table like a salted fish, and said weakly.

"Give your daughter to him?!" Several other people, such as Feng Li, Jiu and his brothers, who were completely unaware of this, heard that there was a melon, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huh?" Yue Zhengdao stared at Shangguan Yi unkindly, he didn't plan to make this matter public, why did this guy say it directly.

"Anyway, it won't be long to hide, everyone is a good brother who was born and died together, it's okay to say it, can you still not invite us to eat and drink?" Shangguan Yi was lazy, he had been attacked by the emperor's eye knife for a long time, and he seemed to have some resistance, anyway, Yue Zhengdao stared at him without any pressure.

"That's right, eh, then what do you think I should do to be mature and steady?" Yue Zhengdao sat down mournfully, he was now suffering from some gains and losses, and he always felt unsteady if he didn't marry her home.

"This has to ask yourself, anyway, don't worry, wait until the emperor gives you a reward, this time you have a lot of credit, she is in a good mood now, it is estimated that she will forgive you for the mistakes you made before, maybe give you something that looks very ranked, in the eyes of outsiders is better." Shangguan Yi continued to lie on his stomach, this palace was a bit depressing for him, and it was a big return, but most places were not popular, and he could only detect the existence of guards, maybe it was a space swing?

The blame can only be blamed on the emperor for being a girl, this palace will never be vibrant.

"How do you know he's in a good mood? You are very close to the emperor. Yue Zhengdao laughed evilly.

"Hmph, filthy. Shangguan Yi pursed his lips disdainfully, not wanting to continue the topic, and then picked up the melons of Yue Zhengdao's relatives with others, of course, it was just some inconsequential information that would be known to everyone sooner or later, and the secret things were still not said.

They talk and laugh like this, drink tea and eat desserts here and chat, of course, the refreshments or something, the guards saw these guests stop and consciously offered, this is the service they deserve, after all, these are heroes.

......

The sky gradually darkened, and the guards took them to the main hall to take a seat, Yue Zhengdao was relatively far ahead, and the others were arranged in the corner because they did not belong to the imperial court, and they could be more comfortable.

The emperor first made a very regular opening remark, probably his feelings about winning the battle for the throne, and then raised his glass, first toasted everyone present, and then briefly said the rewards for the heroes, those who participated in the civil servants were naturally slightly rewarded, probably the official position was slightly raised, and the reward was a little more, and the reward was some money, which was insignificant for the big people, but it was an excellent reward for these people.

The others are all sorts of things, and the reward given to Yue Zhengdao is like Shangguan Yi's guess, it is a reward for supporting the cards, but it is not an idle position, there is no idle position in the East China Sea suitable for Yue Zhengdao to do, he will inherit the Yue family in the future, and he can't hang such a position, so he is given a title.

Originally, there was no such system in the East China Sea, or this system only worked on royal people who were related by blood, such as King Ning. Maybe the king didn't expect it, or had ulterior motives, but this time the emperor added a knighthood system for meritorious heroes, king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, sixth-class titles, and there are many subdivisions and doorways in the middle, the highest prince is generally a royal blood relative, and foreigners need the emperor's approval, and most of the discourse rights in the Manchu Dynasty and the approval of the people in the imperial tomb, because in addition to the prince, the other titles have to be downgraded, and if you want to be promoted back, you naturally have to make meritorious contributions.

This system is the result of her consultation with the mausoleum keepers, because the official positions of Jun Yishen and Qian Quanlin have been promoted, the two of them are the first people in civil and military affairs, no matter how high their merits are, they can't be praised, so they should be knighted, as for the problems that may be caused, naturally there is also a complete set of systems to deal with them, plus the escort of the mausoleum guards, the problem is not big.

Jun Yishen, Qian Quanlin, and Yue Zhengdao are naturally the first beneficiaries of this wave of reform, all three are barons, and they are promoted at the same time, starting from the bottom, but they have not given fiefs and titles, people who don't know the situation are naturally confused, and people with strong eyesight naturally understand that Jun Yishen and Qian Quanlin don't have these two things because this is their starting point, and when they are promoted rapidly in the future, they will naturally have their own fiefs and titles, otherwise it will be very troublesome to change them once they are promoted. As for Yue Zhengdao...... They don't understand what the emperor thinks, how can he give this guy the same treatment as the first person in Wenchen and the military generals?

But a few days afterwards, they also understood that this was the emperor's face for Yue Zhengdao, the people didn't understand these twists and turns, they only knew that Yue Zhengdao had made meritorious service this time, and he was a baron like Jun Yishen and Qian Quanlin, and he had double face. Wen can put pen to paper to calm the world, Wu can go to the horse to determine the world, it is these two, it is also these two auxiliary emperors to govern the East China Sea into the current state, in the eyes of the people, these two are also high, respectable. Yue Zhengdao has the same title as these two guys, which is enough for him to blow for a long time.

This is indeed the case, the emperor thinks so, as for why he didn't give Yue Zhengdao the title, the answer is that he can't be special, since the two of them don't have it, then Yue Zhengdao doesn't either, anyway, these two stay in the baron position with Yue Zhengdao.

The rewards in the court came to an end with the rewards of these three also being determined, and the dissenting ministers took "such things should be discussed with the imperial tomb before making a decision", but they were all accompanied by a ground guard who was unable to speak, the words of the ground guard are very simple, the emperor's opinion is the opinion of the imperial tomb, we have all discussed, you just need to obey it, don't do more other things.

For a long time, these literati who supervised the emperor's affairs had the support of the imperial mausoleum, but this time the imperial mausoleum had to listen to the emperor, and it was useless for these literati to oppose it.

This wave surprised people who didn't know the truth, the founding of the East China Sea for so long had not seen the Imperial Mausoleum so obediently say that it would not be involved with the emperor's decision-making, what happened this time?

Their doubts were unanswered, the celebration banquet officially began, Shangguan Yi and others raised their glasses to Yue Zhengdao, congratulating him on his ascension, with the experience of eating melons in the afternoon, they were the first to perceive the emperor's intentions, so at this time, they also congratulated Yue Zhengdao in advance on his success.

Yue Zhengdao was a little surprised, and hurriedly raised his glass, quite happy.

The atmosphere of the banquet is very free, and officials can get out of their seats to talk to others, or even get together to communicate sporadically, after all, it is not a matter of majestic national diplomatic relations, and there is no need to be so restrained.

"Let's go, go and toast Jun Yishen and Qian Quanlin. After Yue Zhengdao came to his senses, he asked the maid to hold the tray and walk in front of Shangguan Yi with her own wine glass, beckoning these brothers to go over together, brushing up on their sense of existence by the way. For example, Jiu, who is mixed in the East China Sea, on this occasion: almost all the officialdom bigwigs in the East China Sea are there, and if you need anything in the future, you will have a reason to ask for someone.

Such benefits, Jiu will not not understand, of course, even if he does not understand, the toast is still a matter of course, no matter what, Qian Quanlin saved them after all.

"Well, let's go, women should not drink alcohol, so bring this pot of tea with you." As he spoke, Shangguan Yi put his untouched pot of tea on the tray, and walked side by side with Yue Zhengdao to toast in front of Jun Yishen.

"Lord Jun, this hard work, this glass of wine toasts you, and I salute your contribution to the East China Sea, and the sweat you have paid. Yue Zhengdao said in a crepe manner.

Shangguan Yi smiled and raised his glass to echo: "Lord Jun has worked hard, this cup is for you." ”

Jun Yishen looked at these ill-intentioned guys, helplessly put down the teacup, took another cup and poured wine, and drank three glasses with them before refusing because of the poor amount of alcohol, and asked them to go to Qianquanlin, that guy had a good amount of alcohol.

In fact, it is still a bit empty for them to ask Qian Quanlin to toast, Jun Yishen looks kind and gentle, at least Yue Zhengdao and Shangguan Yi are very familiar with him, and it is certain that they will not be rejected, but Qian Quanlin is different, although there is no superfluous expression on his face, but the breath is unapproachable.

"General Qian, these three cups are for you, for your loyalty and courage, for your righteousness and awe-inspiring, for your decisiveness!" Shangguan Yi was the first to exit, he knew that Yue Zhengdao was a little cowardly of Qian Quanlin, but he didn't care.

"What a loyal and courageous, righteous and resolute, you're afraid that you're not making fun of me, right?" Qian Quanlin smiled unexpectedly, holding the wine bottle, and looking at Shangguan Yi, this little guy himself still admires it. (The question of Wenchen wine glass, military general's wine bottle, and the amount of alcohol is also the default rule of the banquet.) )

"I mean it. Shangguan Yi also smiled, it was normal for Qian Quanlin to hesitate, and he was carrying more than his own future and dreams, and he couldn't and wouldn't be too willful.

"Then drink!" Qian Quanlin arrogantly raised the wine bottle and Shangguan Yi, Yue Zhengdao They touched each other in the void and drank it all in one gulp.

drank three bottles in a row, and then Qian Quanlin said without changing his face: "I have seen your performance along the way, it is really amazing, wits and martial arts are fighting together, tsk, I felt that I had the opportunity to have a drink with you, and I will not return if I am not drunk today!"

After hearing this, Shangguan Yi's face turned pale, and he drank ...... It's never been good, I'm afraid I'm going to be irritable today, and I'm going to be dragged back by Hua Xiangrong, right?

Then Qian Quanlin directly asked people to put the tables of him, Yue Zhengdao, Shangguan Yi and others together, and began to fight for wine in a circle, and there were constantly military generals on the way to join, which became more and more lively.
