On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Royal Garden has a big banquet.

Countless odd-shaped and ingenious glass lamps, marquee lamps, Su lanterns, and boneless lamps illuminate the back garden (Note 1) to the slightest, and the colored lights made of crystal, glass, colored satin, and eight treasures are different, either red or green or white, and the palace maids and concubines walking in the shadow of the lamp are towering, and the colorful clothes are fluttering, and they all look very graceful.

The refreshing aroma of dipterocarp spewed out from the antique purple gold incense burner in front of the Qingyan Palace, the white marble dan pier was reflected by the light like a crystal carving, and the golden and red brocade was spread all over the trail, until it passed through the shaking crystal curtain to the feet of the emperor in the Qingyan Palace.

At this moment, the imperial garden is a crystal glass splendid world, and the heavenly luxury is compelling.

Zhao Gou's face was full of red light, smiling from ear to ear, the huge red sandalwood royal table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, the marigold and silver basins were exquisite, and there were countless delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The palace is as warm as spring, but it is not cold outside the palace, there are countless stoves and smokers in the imperial garden, and many tables and imperial seats are placed, where are the seats of concubines and famous ministers, no one is qualified to sit with the emperor, except for Li Hong Chuxuan.

The two of them were dressed in ancient crowns, their faces were quite dignified, and they looked like masters, Chu Xuan was fine, but Li Hong felt bored.

This Chinese New Year's Eve banquet began in the afternoon, first accepting hundreds of officials to congratulate the New Year, and then appreciating the music and dance, and then officially starting the banquet, while appreciating the lanterns, and later watching the fireworks, accompanying Zhao to pretend that the elephant must be pretended to be the end of the second half of the night to keep the New Year, thinking about Li Hong rolled his eyes.

Zhao Gou was still extremely enthusiastic and full of spirits, and this year, he lived comfortably to the bone.

There was a thunder on the ground, and the Heavenly Master of the Protector finally descended, probably because he heard his own day and night prayers! Zhao Conception grinned when he thought about it, these years, since he was pushed to the throne, he has not had a day of peace, he has either fled or fought, how many times have he woken up in his dreams, and he was carried on the back of his subordinates, several times he was in danger and danger, and he was almost caught by the Jin people, and finally moved to Jiangnan, which is regarded as a few days of peace in Lin'an, but who knows? The Jin people were still eyeing the other side of the river, and from time to time assassins would come out, and the throne was really shaky.

Now it's okay, the Heavenly Master of the Protector is finally here, they are really powerful people, they are Jing Ying Xianyou Zhenjun lineage, not to mention that one of them is still his own nephew, so he can sleep peacefully from now on.

Zhao Xiang's mouth smiled crookedly when he thought of this, but the dignity of the emperor must still be there, he pretended to be majestic and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, pour wine for the two Heavenly Masters who protect the country, and I want to pay homage to the Heavenly Master three cups!"

Xiao Huangmen poured wine into the golden bottle, Zhao Gou stood up, picked up the golden bottle and said solemnly: "Respect the two Heavenly Masters who protect the country, I declare that I will give Chu Hongzi Heavenly Master as a ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Hong say lazily: "Slow down, I don't like these false manners, just excuse me!"

Zhao Gou couldn't go on, his white face with three long beards began to twitch, and the courtiers and concubines below widened their eyes.

Even if he is a Heavenly Master who protects the country, he dares to interrupt the emperor's golden mouth and prevent him from speaking, this, it is inevitably too bold!

Zhao Gou couldn't get off the stage, he looked at Chu Xuan for help, thinking that you are still my imperial nephew, hurry up and speak to save some face for me.

Chu Xuan sneered in his heart, the big horse golden knife sat still, he had already looked down on this emperor's uncle, not to mention that now he was a person outside the world, did he still have to follow the mortal hierarchy.

The hall was silent, and it was as quiet as death, and at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The Heavenly Master is rude, don't hurry up and thank the Holy Lord!"

Li Hong's eyes twitched, and the person who spoke was Qin Hui, the right minister.

On a swarthy thin face, the inverted eyebrows twitched again and again, and his expression seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but his eyes were evasive, revealing the emptiness and fear in his heart.

When Qin Hui was afraid, when he saw Li Hong Chuxuan outside the mansion, he thought that he was just a scholar who came to Enke to take the exam, but he turned out to be a private visit by the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Country, thinking of the "good deeds" he had done in private, he was in a cold sweat, and he had been holding his tail between his legs for the past two days, but this moment was a good time to show loyalty to the emperor, and his heart immediately jumped out.

Li Hong thought of Yue Fei's words and the scene he saw outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was even more disgusted by this right minister, Lord Qin, and his cold voice resounded throughout the back garden: "Do I have to kneel down to thank the emperor as a protector of the country, don't forget, Emperor Zhenzong has already issued an edict back then, seeing that the emperor can sit on an equal footing, Qin Hui, you are so bold, in your eyes, I am afraid that there is no such thing as me, a heavenly master, and there is no homeland of the Central Plains!"

There is no homeland of the Central Plains, all the courtiers and concubines in the field keenly captured the last sentence, and Zhao Ding, the left minister who has been quiet, began to smile in his eyes, the main battle faction is all like this, it turns out that the Heavenly Master who protects the country is also the main battle, this is great, with the help of the Heavenly Master of the Protector, why worry about the family and the country.

When Li Hong glanced at Qin Hui, a huge coercion approached, Qin Hui felt the murderous aura and warning contained in it, his back was already sticky, he held on to the table and tried his best to stand firm, but his legs were shaking involuntarily.

"I don't know about the good things you have done, selling official beards, giving bribes privately, in addition to waging your tail to the golden dog and begging to lick their gutters, what else will you do?" Li Hong's cold voice resounded throughout the garden.

At this point, many loyal ministers who had long been dissatisfied with Qin Hui almost laughed, and Zhao Ding secretly screamed in pain, pricked up his ears to listen carefully, thinking in his heart, and his face was already unconsciously smiling.

The Lord and the faction could not imagine that the Heavenly Master would suddenly attack at the royal banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve and openly impeach Qin Huan, and they were all panicked for a while, and everyone looked at each other with earthy faces, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Li Hong had already held back the fire in his belly, and said coldly: "Emperor, what are you doing with this kind of courtier, why do you still let him be listed above the court? Could it be that after he gave our Great Song Dynasty to the Jin people, you will know that he is treacherous, right and right, hmph, I don't think he is the prime minister is inappropriate, leave a seat for a good person, well, for example, that Yue Fei is very good!"

Zhao Gou was almost stunned when he heard this, the Heavenly Master from Xianshan actually knew Yue Fei's name, and openly proposed him to be the prime minister, he was stunned, his face was red and blue, and he didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Ding stood up in time and said loudly: "The minister agrees with the words of the Heavenly Master, Qin Hui is more than treacherous and loyal, sooner or later the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty will be damaged, and I implore the emperor to accept the wise words of the Heavenly Master and dismiss Qin Hui from the position of right minister!" He immediately knelt down in his robe and touched his head to the ground.

Many gasps sounded at the same time, and the back garden was dead silent at first, stopped for a moment, and suddenly boiled into the sky.

Many voices shouted at the same time: "I implore the emperor to accept the wise words of the Heavenly Master!"

"Strike!"

"Strike Minister,Strike Minister,!"

Even the guards began to shout, and the sound shook the roof tiles, and several timid eunuchs were so frightened that their legs slipped to the ground.

Zhao Gou sat back on the dragon chair in the roar of the mountain, his face turned white with fright, in the end, it was the emperor, he immediately gave in to his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Spread my will, remove Qin Hui from the post of right minister, and return to the house to wait for disposal!"

A group of wolf-like guards rushed to Qin Hui's side and grabbed the placket of his clothes and dragged him out, Qin Hui knew that the general trend had gone, and his face was like ashes, but at the same time, he was secretly relieved in his heart, fortunately, the Heavenly Master didn't know my secret agreement with the Jin people...... Dragged away by the guards, the black gauze hat bones rolled to the ground, and were trampled flat by the guards and kicked into the corner.

Li Hong laughed: "Pain, the emperor made a decision, he must be the master of Zhongxing, Chu Hong respects you three cups here, I hope you will accept loyal words and virtuous ministers, and be a happy Mingjun from now on!"

Zhao Gou heard the eight characters of the Lord of Zhongxing and Le Mingjun, and laughed out of his heart, and he didn't look at Qin Hui who was dragged out like a dead dog, this kind of person, what is it compared to the guarantee of the Heavenly Master?

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

The mountains cheered, Zhao Gou was intoxicated, this is the joy of being an emperor!

"Come here, spread my will, today Jinwu can't help it, I want to be happy with the people!"

The fireworks rose into the sky, Zhao Gouzhi proudly took the civil and military officials to the main gate of the imperial city to enjoy the beautiful lights, Li Hong Chuxuan did not follow, and the two sat on the imperial seat and spoke.

Chu Xuan said: "My imperial uncle has always been timid, do you really think he will be a good emperor!"

Li Hong shook his head: "I don't know, I just want to do what I promised Yue Fei!"

Chu Xuan: "Have you noticed, the left minister Zhao Ding only agrees with the removal of Qin Hui and the right minister, but he has not promoted Yue Fei to the right minister at all!"

Li Hong smiled: "I'm just showing a position in support of Yue Fei, in fact, I don't approve of pulling him back to Lin'an and getting involved in the whirlpool of the court, he's a martial minister, it's better to lead troops to fight!"

Chu Xuan also smiled: "It turns out that you seem to be reckless, but in fact, you have already calculated it!"

Li Hong heyed.

At this moment, there was a loud crackling sound, white gunpowder smoke was filled, the taste was pungent, countless colorful fireworks rushed into the sky, red, red, green and green composed of all kinds of patterns, it was very good-looking, the music outside was ready, the melodious song "Long Life Forever" (Note 2) sounded, and in an instant, the flute, sheng, bells and drums rang out in unison, and the distant mountains cheered long live, and a group of songs and dances were leveled.

The prosperous scene of cooking oil and flowers in front of him made Li Hong sincerely sigh, and blurted out: "The Central Plains is especially under the iron hooves of the Jin people, thousands of miles of people are uninhabited, and the people are fleeing from death, General Yue took the lead in visiting the enemy camp, eating coarse dry food and dead horse meat, but it is extremely prosperous here, it is still too wasteful!"

He didn't say it, he really said it.

The little yellow door (Note 3) who was waiting next to him was shocked, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Li Hong Chuxuan didn't seem to be paying attention, quietly shrank back, and disappeared behind the porch for a moment.

It didn't take long for Zhao Gou to hurry over with the ministers and concubines, Zhao Gou's eyes rolled, and he said in a deep voice: "Withdraw from the music and withdraw from the table, I want to talk with the heavenly master about the wine, I want the front-line soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy in the ice and snow, hard and cold, I will have a sake banquet today, keep the New Year for them, pray that God will bless my Song army and people, and recover the rivers and mountains as soon as possible!"

"Long live the Sage!"

Li Hong smiled slightly.

Zhao Ding in the crowd smiled sincerely, this Chu Hongzi Heavenly Master came too timely.

Note 1: The Southern Song Dynasty Lin'an Imperial Garden is called "Houyuan".

Note 2: These places are all from Yuan Zhoumi's "Old Things of Wulin".

Note 3: The little yellow door is a low-grade little eunuch who waits in the big house.
