The devil is coming

Chapter 488
The banquet was held in Chunfang Hall.
The scale of the banquet was not large. The only foreign minister sitting there was Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister, and the rest were from the Ji family. It could be said that this was a family banquet.
Of course, this does not mean that you do not value it. In fact, only those who truly value it will invite you to your home for dinner.
Xiong Liqing was called over by the harem. She was His Majesty's newly canonized princess. The ladies in the harem had to give her a greeting gift, talk about herself, and give her some gifts. This was the rule.
Uncle Zheng was led into Chunfang Hall by Eunuch Wei. On the way, Eunuch Wei would look back at Uncle Zheng from time to time.
in the eyes,
There is regret,
There is sorrow,
There are regrets,
There is a spiritual injury,
Uncle Zheng felt very upset when he saw it.
"Eunuch Wei, you..."
Uncle Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Wei Zhonghe smiled slightly and said: "Gao, it's really high. To be honest with you, the Za family has served His Majesty for so many years. You are the first one who can make His Majesty laugh in this way."
Ordinary people naturally behave themselves in front of His Majesty and dare not go out of their way in the slightest, but this Hirano uncle dared to joke in this way.
"My father-in-law was joking, and I just felt it."
"The Za family just likes your shameless attitude, uncle."
"..." Zheng Fan.
"Hey, it's a pity. I'm not afraid of your uncle being angry. When I first met your uncle, the Za family was thinking about how great it would be if someone like you entered the palace."
"Forehead……"
"Of course, he is the consort now, but he cannot enter the palace."
"Eunuch Wei, don't laugh at me anymore."
"This is not a joke. The Zajia family is sincere. We, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, are short of talents like you, uncle."
"Thank you for your love, father-in-law. Thank you very much."
"Uncle, this is the Chunfang Palace. You are the protagonist today, sit second from the left, and Mr. Zaifu will sit above you."
"Okay, I see."
"Uncle, please sit down for now. The other highnesses will be here soon. The Za family will go elsewhere first."
"Father-in-law, please be busy."
Uncle Zheng was not in a hurry to take a seat, but stood on the edge and looked at the flowers and plants in front of him.
"Looks a little restrained?"
Ji Chengjue's voice came from behind Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng didn't turn around, just nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few years," Ji Chengjue said.
"Hypocritical."
"I just want to make a start, and then I can bring up the topic that it's me who really has the hard work."
"I know, so I don't want to cooperate."
"Do you know how painful it was for me to eat cornmeal the year before last?"
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
“Being able to eat cornmeal for a meal is already a very happy thing for many people in this world.”
"Bitch."
Uncle Zheng turned around, looked at Ji Chengjue, and said:
"Cornmeal-eating beast."
"..." Ji Chengjue.
"Sixth brother."
At this time,
The fourth prince and fifth prince walked over together.
Uncle Zheng took the initiative to salute. There was no need to kneel down, but the meaning was important, so he raised his hands and said:
"I've met His Royal Highness the Fourth, and I've met His Highness the Fifth. Today, it's hard work for Your Highness the Fifth."
"Uncle Hirano, this should be the first time we meet today, right?" the fifth prince said enthusiastically.
"That's why I feel even more sorry."
He is now a watcher of the Ministry of Industry, and he will leave Beijing and return to Shanxi with Uncle Zheng in a few days. When treating Uncle Zheng, he will inevitably be more enthusiastic.
In the capital, he is a prince and a prince, but outside the capital, especially in Jin, to be honest, this title is not so useful.
Although the officialdom of Dayan was not like that of Qianguo, and the scholar-bureaucrats had a natural contempt for the vassal princes, they still tried their best to distance themselves from the powerless princes.
Because the direction of the wind is very clear,
The future prince will be either the sixth prince who is in the spotlight or the prince who still occupies the orthodox position in the country and has little relationship with the other princes.
It will be a sin to get close to the prince now, and it will be a crime after the new emperor ascends the throne.
It is difficult to win the power of the Dragon, but there is no need to attract the hatred of the new emperor to yourself, right?
"No, this is what I should do." The fifth prince was still very kind, with a pure scent of wood scroll flowers.
"I heard that His Highness the Fifth Prince likes craftsmanship?"
"Yes, I am not interested in anything else, but I just like to study this. For this reason, I was often scolded by my father for not doing my job properly."
"Isn't this a chance to show off your talents?"
"You can't say that, you can't say that. Managing Wangjiang is not that simple. When I go, I just look around and observe, and I won't interfere. After all, so many lives are at stake.
Maybe my father wanted me to go there and make meritorious deeds, but I didn't have that intention at all. "
It can be said that what the fifth prince said was very frank and straightforward.
"Your Highness, I wonder if you have heard of Jindi Tianji Pavilion?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Tianji Pavilion? I sent someone to inquire, and they said it died in the war."
"I have kept one or two Tianji Pavilion craftsmen and some drawings there. I can give them to His Highness when I return to Jin."
"Hehe, that feeling is good, that feeling is good."
His Royal Highness rubbed his hands, looking very impatient.
It is impossible for Zheng Fan to send out the real core members of Tianji Pavilion. Now Xue San does not know whether he has returned from Liang Guo. In Xueguan, he still has to rely on the disciples of Tianji Pavilion to help him build siege equipment.
After all, I married someone else’s sister,
Uncle Zheng is also a good man who pities his wife.
You have to seize the time and clear the way for your wife to return to her parents' home as soon as possible.
The fourth prince said, "Uncle Hirano, how heavy is the wind and snow in the snow field?"
"Da, it's because I went to the snowfield that I understand why the savages have been eager to enter the pass."
"So, there is still a possibility of the savage disaster resurrecting?"
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "This is inevitable. After I return to the Snow Customs this time, I will organize my troops and go to the snowy fields to conquer again. I, Dayan, must not take it lightly against the savages. Otherwise, if I am not careful, the savages may be killed." Become the second barbarian."
If the imperial edict hadn't suddenly ordered him to enter the capital, he might have already sent troops by now.
The fourth prince said with emotion: "With Uncle Pingye at Xuehaiguan, my country in the northeast of Yan will definitely be worry-free. I also yearn for it."
Uncle Zheng obviously heard a special smell in it,
how,
Does this fourth prince have any ideas?
The eldest prince went to Nanwang City through operations and became a partner with Xu Wenzu. Zheng Fan knew about this.
So, the fourth prince wanted to find another way because he failed to win the job in Nanwang City?
Of course, from Uncle Zheng's perspective, he didn't want a prince to be sent to his own territory. It would be too cumbersome and difficult to deal with.
But Uncle Zheng would not be too worried about this, because if the fourth prince dared to come, then he, Zheng Fan, would dare to ask the Marquis of Jingnan for a military order to transfer the fourth prince to the Marquis himself as a cook.
"His Majesty is here!"
His Majesty's arrival means that the banquet has officially begun.
Chunfang Hall is divided into two interior and exterior quarters, one is the main residence and the other is the secondary residence. The latter is where the concubines sit.
Uncle Zheng also saw the princess sitting there. After the two looked at each other, they continued to deal with the people around them.
After taking a seat,
Uncle Zheng and Zhao Jiulang were very close to each other.
"I've met Mr. Zaifu."
"Uncle Hirano, I have long admired you."
The two of them greeted each other calmly.
In fact, there was still a feud between the two. Lord Zaifu's "alma mater" was destroyed by Uncle Zheng, who was still a guard at Cuiliu Fort.
But Uncle Zheng felt that Zhao Jiulang wouldn't care about such trivial matters. His blandness was not really bland, but rather normal. However, it would inevitably make people feel a little bland when contrasted with the enthusiasm of others.
In fact, it is also true,
The princes can do some tricks. After all, when the chicken grows up, it must learn to spread its wings on its own.
But if Chao Zaifu wants to have too much thoughts about military power, he really crosses the line.
Emperor Yan himself might not care, but for the sake of future generations, he couldn't leave a prime minister who held too much power and stretched his hands too far to continue to "assist" his successor behind him. This would be digging a hole for his own future generations. .
Although in Xiong Liqing's opinion, the Dayan Palace is a bit "shabby" compared to the Chu Palace.
But at the banquet,
There are still basic singing and dancing.
Emperor Yan frequently raised his glasses, and everyone followed suit. The atmosphere of the banquet was always peaceful and lively.
By the time the banquet was halfway through,
The dancing girls and singers retired, and the concubines and concubines also retired, including the princess.
Chunfang Hall suddenly became much deserted.
And then,
Emperor Yan slowly put down his wine glass.
at this time,
Uncle Zheng noticed that Ji Laoliu and the fourth and fifth princes sitting opposite him began to quickly pull the food into his mouth, chew and swallow it.
"Every time I see Zheng Aiqing's name in the military memorials, I can't help but sigh. God has treated me well, and has treated me well. He has given me such young generals. This is my great fortune."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary, and I am so ashamed that I cannot live up to it."
"No, if you dare to do it, you should do it; alas, these sons of mine are considered your contemporaries, so why are they so unsatisfactory?
I think back then, whenever there was a war, I, the son of the Ji family, would take the lead and fight bloody battles in front of others to be the cornerstone of the country. Now, I can't do that anymore. "
The voice just fell,
The prince left his seat,
The Sixth Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Xiao Qi, who saw that his brothers were moving, also left their seats and knelt down towards Emperor Yan.
Said in unison:
"My son is guilty."
"My son is guilty."
Originally, the princes just thought that their father was going through another process.
The big guy can just accompany his father to complete this process.
They are all eggs laid by a bastard,
Where can I not detect some of the bastard's habits?
but,
Who knows,
Emperor Yan’s next words were:
But the princes who were kneeling down were shocked.
Even Zhao Jiulang, who was sitting next to Uncle Zheng, spilled a lot of wine in his glass.
Even Uncle Zheng did not expect that the originally peaceful and peaceful situation would suddenly be smashed directly into a huge boulder, and it was smashed down by Emperor Yan himself.
"Prince, tell me your sins."

The number of words in this chapter is a bit short, um, so I will make up for it in the next chapter;
Don't panic, hold everyone tight!
