727 The Royal Court Banquet(1/2)

【Two chapters of 5,000 words updated】

Zhu Xiuyuan observed carefully.

Emperor Chen's complexion has improved a lot, although the feeling of weakness of being hollowed out by the wine color is still obvious.

But there is also a kind of spirit that exists. Before the war, there was no such spirit.

The Concubine You next to her is still beautiful. She dressed up in great costumes. When people saw her, she felt like a Concubine in a prosperous era, which made people couldn't help but worship her...

After observing Emperor Chen and Concubine You, Zhu Xiuyuan happened to walk to the middle of the hall, so he stopped and performed the rituals of the king and the ministers.

Emperor Chen was excited and stood up directly.

He quickly walked down the stairs of the imperial stairs, came to Zhu Xiuyuan, helped him up with both hands, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, please, my dear, it's really not easy for you to return safely, I feel no comfort!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was helped by Emperor Chen, so he followed the situation and stood up straight.

This scene of harmony between the king and the minister fell into the eyes of the surrounding "clients" and naturally made them think in their hearts.

But most of them are envy, jealousy and hatred.

"My dear, take your seat quickly, we'll wait for you..." Chen Huang laughed.

Zhu Xiuyuan thanked him again, and then, under the guidance of a palace maid, walked to an empty seat on the right side of the hall and sat down.

Zhu Xiuyuan's position is the first place on the right.

The second one is Han Qingshan, who holds three positions.

From this we can also see that in Chen Huang's heart, Zhu Xiuyuan's status must always be slightly better than Han Qingshan.

The banquets in the court adopted a separate meal system, each person, and followed the ancient etiquette and used kneeling. There was a reed mat in front of the small table, which was available for kneeling.

This method made Zhu Xiuyuan a little inconvenient, but it was not unbearable...

After he knelt down, he served his palace maids specifically. When he poured wine for him, Zhu Xiuyuan noticed that many sights were shot towards him, either light or dark.

Opposite Zhu Xiuyuan was Li Zhong, the prime minister of the civil servant.

Li Zhong just glanced at him lightly, and then stopped looking at him, as if Zhu Xiuyuan was filled with air.

Han Qingshan on the side did not have so many taboos.

He looked directly at Zhu Xiuyuan and smiled and said, "It is indeed a blessing for the court to return to the court safely, and it is a blessing for the people of the world!"

Suddenly, followers gathered, and the rest of the accompanying guests also started to make excuses.

Zhu Xiuyuan let out a light "chuck", how could he not hear it? Such words, in the palace or in front of Emperor Chen, are actually a kind of "praise and kill"!

At this time, Emperor Chen happened to return to the imperial stairs and sat down on the dragon throne.

After hearing this, Emperor Chen did not say anything. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and swept over the ministers, then glanced around between Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan, nodding in secret.

Seeing Han Qingshan picking Zhu Xiuyuan's thorn, a stone in Chen Huang's heart finally landed on the ground.

Finally, Emperor Chen paid vague attention to Zhu Xiuyuan and see how he dealt with it.

On the other side, Concubine You knew Emperor Chen very well and was careful enough, so she guessed all the thoughts of Emperor Chen.

Concubine You had a smile on her face, but her heart was raised.

Because for Concubine You, both Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan were members of the "Prince's Party" camp and were all the objects she wanted to win over...

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly laughed, glanced at Han Qingshan and the ministers, stood up and bowed to Emperor Chen, "Your Majesty, General Han's words are openly praising his ministers, but in fact they are praising them!"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled in his heart and said, "I want to trick me? There is no way! Since you are in vain, I will come to know you!"

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Xiuyuan said this, Han Qingshan and the accompanying guests suddenly changed their expressions.

"Your Majesty, although my subordinates have made some contributions to the capital this time, this is the duty of my subordinates. My subordinates have never thought of becoming a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people of the world! My subordinates cannot afford it!"

"Um!"

Emperor Chen stroked his beard and nodded and smiled: "I believe in my beloved!"

"But Your Majesty, since General Han said that, next time, if there is such difficulty, the ministers dare not show up again, so as not to be praised and killed again!"

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head and looked discouraged.

"Your love...you...Han love!"

"I'm here!" Han Qingshan stood up and bowed.

"I wish you a happy return and made great contributions. I have never praised you yet. You are just talking about this. Since you are provoking this matter, what do you think of the ending?" Chen Huang said.

"Your Majesty, I know the crime... The Lord of Shenlei is my official, I am not punished by myself. I will punish myself three cups. Please don't take it to my heart!"

After saying that, Han Qingshan was simply drinking three large cups in a row, his face was not blushing or breathing.

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at him, calmly, thought for a while, and said, "General Han, I heard from someone on the way back to Beijing... General Han once drew soldiers from my Divine Thunder Army. I wonder if this is the case?"

“Uh…this…”

Han Qingshan hesitated immediately, and he still held the wine glass that had just been punished by himself.

The accompanying guests who were sitting were silent and did not dare to make a noise.

They thought in an instant that this Divine Lei Marquis was also a hard thorn, and countless people fell under his hands...

When Chen Huang, who was on the dragon throne, saw Zhu Xiuyuan attacking in public, preventing Han Qing from coming to Taiwan, another huge rock in Chen Huang's heart also landed on the ground.

But Emperor Chen remained silent and stared at the two people below.

"General Han, and everyone, do you think that my official has disappeared for several days and that he has returned to the west? He thinks that my Divine Thunder Army is gone? Can you do whatever you want?"

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly became sharp, like a sharp sword unsheathed.

Han Qingshan hesitated and couldn't speak, because in terms of this matter, he did something unauthorized.

However, all this was carried out with the acquiescence of Emperor Chen...

At this time, Li Zhong, the prime minister who always regarded Zhu Xiuyuan as the air, faintly threw a wink at a accompanying guest.

The man suddenly felt a sudden sensation, but he didn't dare to shirk his power. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Divine Lei Hou, don't be aggressive!"

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Whether it is the Shenlei Army or the Changning Imperial Army, they are all soldiers of my Da Chen! Those soldiers, no matter where they are, are all to defend my Da Chen. Why should the Shenlei Marquis beg for this problem?"

This person is passionate.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't even look at this person.

Instead, he bowed to Emperor Chen and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, when is it the turn of a civil servant to point fingers in our army? Your Majesty, I would like to kill this person to serve as a warning!"

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, the entire hall became quiet and the needles could be heard.

"Your Majesty, I would like to kill this person to serve as a warning to others!"

Soon, Han Qingshan and the generals of each army also stood up to worship.

Today, whether it is Chen, Yan, or Liang, civil and military officials are independent of each other and separate, and no one can get involved in each other.

To some extent, military officers actually do better.

Because military officers can win a lord, they are a complete privileged class.

But civil servants do not have this treatment.

It is indeed very inappropriate for this civil servant to say such words at this time under the instructions of Li Zhong, the prime minister.

This is equivalent to offending all military officers in just one sentence. If you want to exaggerate yourself, it will be enough to punish this person for his death.

This is also the reason why Han Qingshan and the generals agreed with Zhu Xiuyuan.

Whenever there is a problem of opposition between civil and military affairs, we cannot be ambiguous. The conflict with Zhu Xiuyuan can only be considered an "internal contradiction". In the face of opposition between civil and military affairs, this is just a small problem like sesame and green beans.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

The civil servant was scared and hurriedly lay on the ground, kneeled forward, begging for mercy.

"Hmph!" Emperor Chen snorted coldly, looked at the civil servant squintedly, and ordered calmly: "This person is arguing about military affairs, and his crime is unforgivable. If someone comes, drag it down and hit a hundred heavy boards!"

Following the order of Emperor Chen, two Jinwu Guards had already walked in outside the Fengtian Hall and received the emperor's order. They dragged the civil servant out like a dead dog.

"Your Majesty, please help me..."

However, the Prime Minister Li Zhong always looked as usual, and sat there calmly, as if he had not seen what had just happened.

Soon, everyone in the hall heard the sound of the board hitting the butt...

Gradually, the screams became weaker.

After waiting for a while, the Jinwu Guard entered the hall to report and said that one hundred boards had been beaten, and the civil servant was already dead...

"I wish you a little peace, my dear."

Just a minister died, Emperor Chen was unmoved at all. He looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and smiled: "The act of drawing soldiers from the Divine Thunder Army was actually my instruction..."

"My dear, the new establishment of the Changning Imperial Army is. In order to complete the training as soon as possible, it is the fastest way to draw soldiers from the Divine Thunder Army..."
To be continued...
