Chapter 122

In the sixth year of Yonghui, Wu Meiniang became the queen.

On the canonization ceremony.

Wu Meiniang has changed from the simple and elegant palace skirts of the past. Today, she is wearing a fiery red phoenix crown and Xiapei, with light makeup and lacquered eyebrows.

The person in charge of the ceremony read out the letter of acceptance and led Wu Meiniang through the process.

The courtiers watched the ceremony with different expressions.

Zhao Wujiang, Changsun Wuji and other prime ministers stood in front of the group of officials, and he was full of smiles.

Wu Meiniang will be the real empress from now on, her mother honors the world, and the emperor and empress will start the same dynasty.

The process of canonizing the queen is cumbersome, with many red tapes, and the officials are tired of watching the ceremony.

Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly, calling his old Beibei system.

【Ding!Wu Meiniang's current luck value: 3000 points.

Remarks: After Wu's weighing, luck has risen sharply! 】

Sure enough, Zhao Wujiang tried to use the system to check when Wu Meiniang was back, and found that Wu Meiniang's luck value had risen by nearly a thousand points.

Ten thousand points of luck is the emperor's wealth, and now Wu Meiniang is not too much, only three thousand points, but she can be regarded as the most powerful person in the world.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for getting luck value: 100 points

The current luck value is 590 points.

Remarks: After assisting Wu Meiniang, you will get luck rewards]

A mechanical voice came from the system. When he opened the Mingjun health regimen in the imperial study room, he had already obtained 100 points, and now he has obtained another 100 points. Although it is not much, it is better to progress step by step.

"Lord Zhao, I heard that you are going to entertain the officials today?" Changsun Wuji said in a low voice, unable to see his expression clearly.

As soon as he said this, Laiji, Li Ji and other prime ministers beside him also looked sideways at Zhao Wujiang, thinking that this kid was originally just a young man with high spirits, why is he a little swollen now, and actually entertained all the officials.

Zhao Wujiang nodded, this is what he told the ministers when he met them outside the palace gate this morning.

Recently, many ministers kept inviting him to banquets, and he invited them all at once to meet everyone.

The reason is by the way.

It is because the purpose of this banquet is to prioritize two things.

The first thing is that Hebei Province has been in drought for several months, and the people have difficulty harvesting grains. The Jiedushi of Hebei Province has been using the granary to store grain in accordance with the principle of his own family. As long as he survives the drought, he will definitely be rewarded by the Tang Dynasty .

It's a pity that we encountered Datang's campaign against the Western Turks.

Although Hebei Road is not close to Western Turks, it is close to Turks.

There are still remnants of Turkic crimes. In order to prevent fires in the backyard, the imperial court sent troops to guard against Hebei Road, and it happened to be discovered.

The purpose of Zhao Wujiang's dinner is to raise funds for disaster relief, that is, a charity dinner.

And the second thing is to go to war, the war consumes a lot of national power, and almost every courtier's family is rich, Zhao Wujiang naturally finds a way to dig out some.

But Zhao Wujiang didn't specify the purpose, he just said the banquet, in order to avoid some courtiers who heard that they had to pay for it, pretended not to come because of illness and so on.

Changsun Wuji said coldly: "When I was prime minister, I once entertained my colleagues. Now Mr. Zhao is worthy of being a third-rank official. I'm afraid it's too early?"

Zhao Wujiang didn't answer the elder grandson Wuji's words, but asked himself: "Then grandson, are you coming?"

"Humph!"

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, "Do you think the old man will come?"

"The eldest grandson will definitely come!" Zhao Wujiang was sure, with a smile on his face.

"Old man, does Changsun Wuji need to give you Zhao Wujiang face?" Changsun Wuji sneered.

Zhao Wujiang chuckled, looked at Wu Meiniang, who was about to finish the process, with her hands wrapped around her sleeves, turned around calmly, and said lightly, "I'll wait for you tonight!"

If it weren't for the courtiers' verbal quarrel at this moment, it would be like the love words of two intimate people.

Changsun Wuji looked at Zhao Wujiang's leaving back, his eyes flickered, and asked Li Ji who was beside him.

"Are you going to dinner tonight?"

Li Ji smiled like a fox, and hey said: "It should be."

"Oh?" Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, "You're giving this kid some face!"

"As for your eldest grandson Wuji, he stands tall and can see far away, but often can't see near. Why is Zhao Wujiang so feared? Because when he does things, sometimes he looks at his mood, and sometimes he looks at his purpose.

And you just don't know when he looks at his mood and when he looks at his purpose.

For example, this dinner, do you think it depends on the mood or the purpose? " Li Ji said with a smile.

Changsun Wuji was unsure for a moment, but since the harsh words had been released just now, it was naturally impossible for him to go.

"What purpose can Zhao Wujiang have? It's nothing more than showing off his recent power! A dinner party to show off his authority!"

Hearing the words from Changsun Wuji, Li Ji shook his head with a smile: "He is good at power, but he is not greedy for power. He is different from you. Why should you speculate with your heart?"

"Li Ji!" Changsun Wuji yelled angrily, attracting the attention of others.

Li Ji smiled, without any anger: "What's the matter?"

Chengdong Restaurant, Zuixiang Restaurant.

It is now the largest restaurant in Chang'an City.

It is rumored that the owner of the restaurant has an elder brother who is an official in the court and holds a high position.

For example, Zhu Youci, the servant of the Ministry of officials, or the guests of the prince.

Tonight's Zuixianglou ushered in the biggest banquet of the year: Zhao Wujiang, the secretary supervisor, entertained the courtiers.

The lights are bright, and the lanterns are hung all over the Zuixiang Building.

Many courtiers came here in horse-drawn carriages. Even though the mansion was very close, and they arrived within a few steps, everyone had their own carriages, so he couldn't lose face.

Zhao Wujiang rode his horse, the bell rang, and Xiao Miaomiao was in his arms.

Both master and apprentice were wearing Rumo clothes, and Xiao Miaomiao's soaring braid was tied into the hairstyle of balls on both sides of the head by Wang Yanning this morning, like a little Nezha.

When we arrived at Zuixiang Building, the first floor was already filled with gifts, all of which were gifts from the ministers to Zhao Wujiang.

Jewelry, yellow and white objects, strange stone calligraphy and painting treasures, etc.

When the officials saw Zhao Wujiang, they saluted one after another. Zhao Wujiang walked through the crowd and found that the eldest grandson Wuji did not come, but Li Ji and other prime ministers had already arrived.

After greeting each other, they entered the second floor.

Drunken Fragrance Building is called a building, but it is more appropriate to call it a palace.

It occupies a large area, and the banquets on the second floor are separated by screens.

Now that the screen is removed, several large tables of courtiers can drink together.

There are only some simple snacks on the table, and the banquet has not been served yet.

Zhao Wujiang got up slowly, and as the protagonist tonight, he began to give a speech.

He was eloquent, saying something to thank his colleagues for their kindness.

The atmosphere was peaceful and happy for a moment, and then Zhao Wujiang changed the topic.

"I, Mr. Zhao, have already registered the gifts from my colleagues. I know this friendship very well. I am very grateful for your kindness! At the same time, I also thank you for the many disaster victims in Hebei Road!"

As soon as Zhao Wujiang said this, most of the officials were puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

He explained with a smile: "The news from Hebei Province has already spread, and at the most tomorrow, all colleagues will be able to learn the news.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, we in Chang'an City can feel it even more deeply!
But this year's drought in Hebei Province, if it wasn't for the Jiedushi's plan over the years, I'm afraid he would have asked the court for help!
Now that the war is about to start, the people of Hebei Province will be in trouble."

Zhao Wujiang opened his mouth slowly: "The battle is approaching, the soldiers need more food supplies, the national treasury is weak, if the money from the national treasury is withdrawn, alas
So at today's dinner, Mr. Zhao came to raise money for charity, part of it went to the treasury to help the war, and part of it was turned into money and food and sent to Hebei Road. "

Everyone froze in place, calling Zhao Wujiang treacherous in their hearts.

Call the minister over first, so who dares to run away in front of Zhao Wujiang?
