With the issuance of the notice of the Demon Emperor, the Internal Affairs Office began to hold banquets early, which was the first extravagant banquet of the Demon Emperor since the great drought, and it also made the hearts of those invited officials excited. Many Beijing officials have been clear soup and little water recently, after all, in a special period, so many pairs of eyes are staring, if someone's life is better, although it will not cause any big turmoil, but it is always so embarrassing to say, it is said that it is the same dust with light, this group of Beijing officials still firmly remember the valuable experience passed down by their ancestors. However, this group of officials is also ruthless, in order to cater to them, many of them are hungry and yellow-skinned, and some of them are even wearing court clothes with patches, although most of the Beijing officials despise this kind of show in their hearts, but they still have to honestly praise their diligence and frugality, and their sleeves are clean, and they have the demeanor of a generation of celebrities. Even if I have scolded the hypocrites and beasts countless times behind my back, at least it is still peaceful on the surface.

As night fell, the Demon Emperor's Palace was also full of lights, and the officials also entered the palace one after another, most of them were waiting for the Demon Emperor's banquet with each other, after all, according to etiquette, the Demon Emperor was always the last to appear, not for anything else, the system is like this. Most of the chat content is also miserable, and the form of selling miserable is also different, of course, there are also well-dressed and self-oriented people, but a few, and they are gradually neglected.

As for Zhao Yunqi, a new Beijing official, because he has no qualifications, although he wears a simple dress, he still belongs to the young category after all, and he is not like some old oilers. In addition, this young man has no power in the capital, although he doesn't move around much on weekdays, but most of them are just because of business. However, some friends, most of whom are not too high-ranked, have no chance to be invited to this grand banquet at all.

In the Chengqian Palace, the beautiful dancers began to twist their graceful postures in the main hall, Zhao Yunqi looked at the beautiful dancers, these more than 20 years of hard reading, but let him keep the words of the sages in mind, so he is still a little shy about women, but even if he avoids it, he instinctively gets physiological temptation, or he can't help but look at these beautiful dancers, his eyes look up and down, and his heart has launched a struggle about seeing and not seeing. If someone can read the experience, they will definitely say that the reader is hypocritical.

Less than half an hour before the start of the banquet, the Demon Emperor brought the noble concubines and princes, princesses to the banquet, as for the ninth princess, because the youngest followed the huge team last, the maid next to him also followed him closely.

"Later, you can help me identify Zhao Yunqi, I want to see what kind of person it is. The ninth princess was obviously unhappy on her face, after all, Zhao Yunqi was described in Youlan's mouth, not the person she liked in her heart, in his opinion, a man should be like a gentleman, gentle as jade, as good as grinding, and insisting on righteousness. Definitely not a money-hungry and lustful little demon.

"Don't worry, princess, you'll know when you get to the banquet. ”

Immediately afterwards, after the hundred officials saluted according to the etiquette system, after the demon emperor and the demons of the harem all sat down, Zhao Yunqi also saw the concubines of the harem for the first time. All this is naturally overwhelmed by Zhao Yunqi, of course, Zhao Yunqi can see it very obscurely, after all, he still doesn't dare to appreciate it blatantly in his heart, but there are a few powerful officials, and they don't care about it, and they look at the princesses directly.

Then a series of big dishes were presented to the table in front of the officials one by one, Zhao Yunqi was also hungry in his stomach, and the coarse tea and light rice in the past few days also made him miss the days of meat very much, not to mention these delicious dishes from the hands of the imperial chef of Ouchi, with the opening of the demon emperor's eating, few officials can avoid vulgarity, and they eat very quickly, after all, the food is in hand, and no matter how serious it is, it is pedantic. After all, if you don't indulge on the big day, when will you wait?

Zhao Yunqi ate very unrestrainedly, and at this moment he was naturally seen by the nine princesses, although the nine princesses looked at Zhao Yunqi for the first time, they were also attracted by this scholar's elegant temperament, looking at the appearance, Zhao Yunqi was not a greedy villain as Youlan said, but as Zhao Yunqi revealed his indecent eating appearance, and even looked at the eyes of the dancing girl from time to time, the score in the princess's heart naturally decreased a lot, but Zhao Yunqi couldn't help but look a little handsome, but he was not directly removed from the heart of the ninth princess。 Instead, I want to get in touch with it. After all, she is not an ordinary woman, she can only accept the orders of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the nine princesses still have their own opinions about the future princess.

Half an hour later, I was full of wine and food.

After a little bit of small talk, the Demon Emperor couldn't hold back the joy in his heart after all, and laughed heroically while he was drinking: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is news before the battle, Jian'an City is broken, the Holy Sect has been punished by heaven, directly suffered a catastrophe, and many ordinary people have died, and finally the elite of my Great Zhou took advantage of the situation to attack it, as for the auspicious rui that day, it is still floating in the sky of the holy state, and the widow thinks that the national fortune of the Great Zhou Empire is prosperous, and the auspicious rui from the sky helps my empire Yongchang." From now on, there will be no religion in the country in the Great Zhou Empire!"

Hearing this, many officials who were not very well-informed looked dumbfounded, after all, the strength of the Holy Sect was obvious to all, but it was taken down in just a few days, which was somewhat unexpected, but looking at the happy appearance of the Demon Emperor, everything did not look like a fake, after all, there was no joke, and there was no need to bluff.

Therefore, all the hundred officials also raised their glasses to congratulate, this time the Holy Sect was defeated, and the hundred officials also knew what it meant, which meant that the Demon Emperor's merits would be on the next level, and the Demon Emperor still looked like he was in the prime of life, and the officials had some expectations in their hearts to see what the Demon Emperor would do next. But this also suffers those generals who have military power, after all, there is no national enemy outside, there is no chaos inside, this general who supports the army seems to be useless, if it is used to cunning rabbit death, lackeys cook, but there is no room for resistance, thinking that the mood of this group of generals seems to have fallen to the bottom, many of them plan to do something after going back, after all, the generals who are still in Kyoto are older, and they don't want to overturn in the gutter when they are old.

As for the state ministers stationed in Kyoto, they were also muttering in their hearts, after all, if the Holy Sect was there, it meant that there was still a strong enemy of the empire in front of this group of feudal officials, and what if the Holy Sect perished? Thinking of this, many powerful princes and kings are also in danger.
