Chapter 672

Because the new emperor must have his own manpower when he takes office, and those left by the old emperor are already too old to keep up with the new emperor's footsteps!

All the many Jinshi who were not among the best in the recent imperial examinations all wanted to show off their literary talents at the banquet, hoping that this move would lead to success!

The banquet has officially begun!

Huangfu Jinyu naturally sat at the top, and on both sides were the concubine he married when he was a prince and the side concubine, and now it is naturally the empress and the concubine of the fourth concubine!
Li Jixuan is sitting at the first table of the generals below!His position was personally arranged by the emperor, which shows that he is favored!
The new emperor Huangfu Jinyu was the first to raise his glass and said:

"This first cup is my respect, my lords! Let's raise our glasses and drink together!"

The ministers naturally responded positively, for fear that they would fall out of favor if they were too slow!

The first three cups were all led by Huangfu Jinyu. Seeing that the ministers were a little cautious and knew that he was newly enthroned, they were a little confused!
Then he laughed to ease the atmosphere and said:
"My lords, don't be cautious! Speak freely! Many ministers have never done anything before my first enthronement, and I will rely on your ministers to help me in the future!"

Now those old ministers are reassured, which means that they will not be removed for a while!
The rest of the ministers saw that the emperor was as easy to get along with as when he was a prince after he ascended the throne, so their hanging hearts fell to the ground, and they started talking happily!

Fu Zhongqing, as the Fu family, is also a role model for literati in the world. Naturally, this first glass of wine to the new emperor deserves his respect!

"My minister Fu Zhongqing presents a cup to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor! May the country be more stable and prosperous under the leadership of the emperor!"

"Okay! Aiqing will also help and encourage me in the future! Come!" She said with a nod of her neck!

With the first beginning, there will be countless others!

Huangfu Jinyu really has no way to refuse today, so he can only do whatever comes!The Queen and Concubine Xian were naturally distressed,
But today is an important day, they can't hold back the emperor, so they can only look at their cousin for help, hoping that he will come out and give him a hug!
But Li Jixuan couldn't see the eyes of the queen and concubine Xian asking for help at all, because he was completely surrounded!
Your Majesty, that's fine!The ministers just toasted the emperor in place!But Li Jixuan is just below, and those civil servants are nothing more than that.

But those generals are not sticklers for details, they surrounded Li Jixuan with wine jugs, and they were bound to knock him out and carry him out!

The atmosphere in the hall was very lively, and many ministers left their seats to sit with colleagues they had made friends with. Huangfu Jinyu felt more at ease when he glanced down.

After drinking a large number of generals to the party, Li Jixuan shook his slightly drunk head and thought about telling the emperor to 'ask for leave'!
At this moment, a discordant and abrupt person rushed over in a panic, but was stopped by the eunuch outside the hall!
"Don't stop me! I'm a messenger from the frontier town! I have an urgent letter to the emperor!"

The little eunuch didn't dare to be careless when he heard the words, but he couldn't let the messenger go in like this, so he could only say:
"Wait here! I'll go in and report!"

"Excuse me, father-in-law!" The messenger said gratefully, clasping his hands.

The little eunuch bowed as a gesture, and turned around and went in without delay.

Going around behind the ministers, the little eunuch came to the emperor and listened to him, Huangfu Jinyu hurriedly said:

"How dare you delay the important military affairs! Let someone come in!"

The little eunuch rushed out to call someone.

The messenger hurried in with big strides, ignoring the eyes of the ministers around him, took out the urgent letter from his arms and handed it over:

"Your Majesty! The frontier city messenger Wang Shan has an urgent report from the frontier city!"

"Submit it!" Huangfu Jinyu knew that the matter must be serious when he saw his busy appearance.

All the officials also stopped making noise at this time, and began whispering to each other to guess what big event would happen.

Li Jixuan was shocked when Wang Shan came in, maybe it was because he had been in the border town for so many years!
Huangfu Jinyu opened the letter and said:

"Just say what you want!"

"Yes!" Wang Shan agreed, then picked up the important things about the border town and said:

"Prince Hulu Mangan led an army of [-] to attack the junction of the border towns. Three towns have been destroyed. Now Liangcang City, the main city of the border town, is about to miss!"

All the officials panicked when they heard the words. Is this a war? !
"Liangcang City is about to miss too?" Huangfu Jinyu asked with a bad face:

"What about Wang Hongfang? General Li, whom the emperor asked him to replace at the beginning, what measures can you take?"

"This..." Wang Shan hesitated for a moment, but now that the war is tense, he still has nothing to hide:
"General Wang sent troops, but Hulu's cunning people went to the other side and retreated in time.
So we suffered heavy losses but so far we haven't caught a Hulu barbarian!One hundred thousand troops now
General Wang hesitated for several days but did not come up with a countermeasure to fight against the enemy!Just close the city gate and listen to Hulu barbarians shouting outside the city every day."

Huangfu Jinyu smashed the wine glass in his hand angrily, and signaled to the people around him:

"Help the two ladies back to the palace first! The dancing and music have all stopped!"

After all the court ladies and eunuchs had left, Huangfu Jinyu looked at the next officials with a serious face!

Seeing where their eyes went, the ministers hurriedly turned their eyes away and curled up hard, feeling even more displeased.

"Now that Hu Lu deceives me and no one else! He even took the initiative to provoke troubles. Is there anyone who is willing to go to the border town to teach Hu Lu a lesson? Let the other party know that I am not unavailable!"

"This"

"Master Liu is well-informed, didn't he also say that if Hu Lu barbarian dares to come, he will show off to the other party?"

"I'm just joking... Mr. Zhou, you can't talk nonsense"

Seeing the new emperor, the ministers really opened their mouths. Some of them wanted to accept it, but how could they dare to take on this porcelain job without the diamond diamond?
Let's live a good life in the capital as a petty official like this!
Almost all of them had this idea, but there were two generals who drank a lot. They felt that this was a good time to make contributions, so they took the initiative to say:

"I volunteered to teach those Hulu barbarians a lesson! Tell them to go back to grandma's house."

"I also voluntarily ask for an order! Please allow the emperor to allow me to lead the army!"

Huangfu Jinyu had some impressions of these two generals, but when he was the prince, he never saw them do any great deeds or make great contributions!

Hulu's instigation of the war is not a trivial matter now, and no mistakes are allowed, so he is a little uncertain now. Regarding the border town war, Jixuan has the most insight, so he can't help but look at Jixuan to ask for opinions. .
