Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 168 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
Perhaps only a person like Zhu Yuanzhang who has waded through the sea of ​​corpses and blood can face this terrifying hell on earth.

He stared intently at the white bones and corpses in front of him.

This scene and the majestic Zhongdu City behind him form a very visually impactful composition, the capital of all evil.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again in a deep voice: "Where are the missing civilian husbands?"

"Some of them were put to death before the emperor returned to his hometown." Han Yike suppressed his disgust and said, "The other part were secretly imprisoned in more than a dozen warehouses."

After the failure of the Zhongdu uprising, and the subsequent massacre on the 10,000th, there are still [-]+ civilians in Zhongdu.If it is simply for the emperor to show off, half of it will not be used.

So when Li Shan grows up, he can carefully select those craftsmen and folk husbands who are honest, obedient, easy to control, healthy and good-looking, and show them to Boss Zhu.

And those who were overwhelmed, insensitive, and haggard were all hidden by him...

However, the Duke of Han did not expect that the two princes had already visited the Zhongdu construction site in person.What they saw with the emperor was nothing short of a world of difference.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang would like to ask, where are the craftsmen and folk husbands who are not suitable for display?
"Has everyone been rescued?"

"Some of them were rescued, but the time is limited, and there are still many that have not been found." Han Yike hesitated, and hissed: "The scene was too miserable at that time."

"Worse than this?"

"Yes. There are dead people here." Han Yike nodded without hesitation. "But there are the dead, the living, and the living dead locked together shoulder to shoulder. In order to prevent the emperor from finding out, the government did not give them food or drink. One can imagine the result..."

"People eat each other..." Zhu Yuanzhang squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Yes, but the scene is ten times worse..." Han Yike whispered.

"..." Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes in pain after hearing this, and suddenly slapped himself hard.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone exclaimed.

~~
It was already August [-]th when Sheng Jia returned to Zhongdu City.

Habayashi guards released Fangqiu Lake, allowing tens of thousands of corpses to be seen again; and the fact that the warehouse where the civilian husband was hidden was found, naturally spread throughout the central capital.

The entire upper echelons of Zhongdu were silent like cicadas, holding their breath and waiting for Emperor Hongwu to send down the wrath of thunder!
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't wait for the attack, but he waited for the invitations sent by Boss Zhu to the honorable officials and fellow villagers in Zhongdu.

Invite them to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at the newly completed Fengtian Temple Square tomorrow night...

~~
"Master, what does this mean?" Xue Xiang held the invitation card in his hand, as if he was holding a hot potato.

"There is no good banquet." Li Shanchang had already adjusted, regained his fighting will and said, "It's nothing more than cooking Ding Bin or Li Qi for everyone to celebrate the festival. Whatever he is, I don't mind sharing a piece of the pie." .”

"Not to..." Xue Xiang wanted to say 'not to', but Boss Zhu has already roasted Li You, so it's not surprising to have two more...

"Don't mess around at this time." Li Shanchang sighed, as if reminding him, and also as if encouraging himself: "No matter how arrogant and angry the superior is, at present, two of them can't move. One is unable to move. One of these Huaixi old brothers cannot move the national policy of moving the capital."

"En." Xue Xiang nodded.

"With these two protections, we can't die." Li Shanchang said lightly: "The superior knows very well that my old Li has no big ambitions, at most he only has small abacus. If you kill me, replace me with an ambitious man like Hu Weiyong, hehe, Whether Huaixi will still be so submissive, that's anyone's guess."

"En." Xue Xiang nodded a lot this time.

"So I am ashamed at most; as for you, at best you are dismissed from office." Li Shanchang helped Xue Xiang's arm to get up and said:

"But as long as the capital is successfully moved, everything will be fine. At that time, we are like the peony next to the peony, no matter how many times we are cut off, it will grow again. And the more it blooms, the more it blooms. Peony, which peony!"

"Understood, Master Xiang." Xue Xiang was a little relieved.

~~
The next day is the last moment of application.

The nobles, heroes, and fellow emperors who received the invitations came to the Hongwu Gate one after another, and were inspected by the guards, preparing to enter the palace for a banquet.

It's just that all the guests were full of apprehension, bowed their heads in silence, and the atmosphere was very dignified.It doesn't look like going to a banquet, but rather like going to the execution ground.

Boss Zhu's meal is really scary.

The last time he invited someone to dinner, he performed a big roast of a living person.This time I invite people to dinner again, I don't know what tricks I will play...

Everyone has feces on their buttocks and ghosts in their hearts. It's strange if they are not afraid.

But I'm afraid I have to come.Whoever dares not to come, it is estimated that the forbidden army will come to treat the prison meal in the next moment...

Everyone entered the palace worried, and under the guidance of the servants, they entered the Daming Gate, Meridian Gate, and Fengtian Gate all the way.

When passing through the palace gates, they felt like turtles getting into a urn, and they were still in an urn, so they couldn't escape from Boss Zhu's palm!

The banquet was set on the spacious Danbi in front of Fengtian Hall, and there were only two rows of long tables on the left and right sides, leaving a large area in the middle.

There is still a carpet in the middle, obviously something good is going on.

What surprised the guests even more was that the emperor had already sat down on the golden platform with the golden sword on his horse.

Boss Zhu propped his right arm on the table, resting his cheek on his right hand, and looked at the crowd walking onto the platform expressionlessly.

Everyone hurriedly kowtowed, Zhu Yuanzhang only nodded slightly, and said nothing more.It is very different from the way in the past when seeing fellow villagers and old brothers, they would stand up to greet each other without any airs, and greet each other warmly as brothers and sisters.

Boss Zhu didn't speak, no one dared to sit down, and the guests all stood obediently on Majesty Dan, lowering their heads and not daring to look at the emperor, and no one, as usual, flirted with him and made friends with him.

After all the guests arrived, they kowtowed to the emperor again, and Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone thanked in unison, got up and took their seats.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at the crowd and said slowly: "Today is August [-]th. You are either old brothers who accompanied us to fight the world; or you are the heroes of the founding of the country; or you are old folks who broke the bones and connected the muscles. So I invite you here today to have a reunion festival together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone hurriedly thanked again.

"Let's pass on the meal, chat while eating." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and there was music playing.

Amidst the music, the palace servants carried red lacquer trays and put dishes on the long table one after another.

Everyone saw that although there were still four dishes and one soup, there was actually a meat dish.

"It's not bad, it's better than the meal on the first day of the new year." Someone whispered.

"Nonsense, look carefully, it's bitter intestines!" The wise man saw the mystery at a glance: "Almonds mixed with bitter chrysanthemum, bitter melon stewed small intestines, bitter bamboo shoots fried with potherb mustard, and bitter vegetable soup... What kind of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion feast?" ? This is clearly the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

ps. Fifth update, thank you for your understanding.This A flu is really evil. After the two babies, my wife has symptoms again...

Every update tomorrow will definitely be affected, anyway, I will hurry up and code words.
