The Royal dinner is not just to eat the specialty of the imperial dining room. The most important thing is to deepen the relationship between monarchs and ministers.
Those who can come in and participate in the banquet here are senior officials above the fourth grade and the core personnel of the power center. If they can mix in this position, they naturally know how to maintain the relationship between monarchs and ministers.
With tacit understanding and full attention, everyone went up one by one or colleagues from the same department to toast and congratulate. There is also an order from top to bottom. It''s your turn to go first for high-grade officials and first for important departments of the same grade.
During this period, the emperor also had a good chat with every official and took the crown prince to deepen the impression of each important Minister one by one, which is helpful for him to use who he wants and how he plans to use people in the future.
In the lively and festive banquet, only one was unhappy.
Although Wei Xingchao led the high-quality minister in the Dongji office to sit on the table and give him a place, Gong Liang Junyi still stood outside the banquet and paid attention to everything at the banquet. Although he has a position, he also bears the important task of supervising the wedding. That position only expresses the importance he attaches to him. He cannot leave his post without permission and sit down.
Just as he looked at the diagonal corner across several rows of round tables, he leaned alone under a dragon pillar. There was also the deputy commander of Yingdu mansion at the banquet, but the task of the dark guard was to guard the safety of the royal family in the dark. When he sat down, he became absent without permission. Therefore, there is a very strange table in the corner of the hall. The dishes are arranged neatly, but there is no one above. This table is a table for the cinema. Although it is known that they can''t sit, they still put on the banquet table to show their attention.
Gongliang Junyi pays attention to the orderly and normal progress of the banquet. This is his current work. He wants to keep a low profile.
He is only 30 years old. He is one of the three core military departments of the imperial court. The new governor of Dongji affairs factory, a senior official from the third grade, is in charge of the terrible right to investigate and arrest ministers under the Wei Xing Dynasty. It can be said that he is definitely the hottest young star in the imperial court today. His strength does not allow him to keep a low profile. He is a true portrayal of the dream of meiqianxiao''s success after he joined the East series factory. Ministers scrambled to curry favor with him.
In addition to the emperor, Yang Shiqi and other senior officials, he is the most lively here, and people keep coming forward to toast and greet.
Although Gongliang Junyi is gloomy, he will not lose his courtesy and entertain one by one. But he can''t drink the wine. The purified water he brought can touch the glass with each other. Everyone understands the responsibility.
When the ministers who toasted the crown prince went almost the same, the wedding banquet will be in the second half.
Seeing that the time was almost the same, the prince got up and said a few words to the emperor. The emperor smiled and asked him to go and return quickly.
In addition to the emperor and the prince, there are three princesses such as Li Mengyao at the main table. In the absence of the Empress Dowager and other concubines, they all stayed in the harem to have another banquet. There were only a few of them at this huge main table, which seemed a little deserted.
When Li Mengyao saw the prince get up and leave, the table became more deserted, so he asked curiously, "emperor, what''s the matter with your highness?"
Li Mengyao was not born to the emperor. Although he was named a princess, he still regarded himself as a minister, and his title was like that between kings and ministers.
"He wanted to propose a toast to concubine Kui, so I made an exception and asked him to leave the banquet and go to the back palace. He would come back after the toast." the emperor smiled.
"Your Highness is really benevolent and filial, and you should be a leader in real people." Li Mengyao praised, "I thought his lovely wife was waiting for him. He couldn''t help it! Ha ha ha!"
"Tut!" the emperor was angry and nodded Li Mengyao''s nose. What did a daughter say? Although she had been the commander of the Gongwei division for several years and had been infected with a lot of Jianghu atmosphere, now she is a princess and always has to be reserved. "Can you hold it? Nonsense. Is she anxious to find a good husband for you?"
"No, no, no, I want to stay with the emperor." Li Mengyao immediately shook her head like a rattle.
There were also many young heroes at the banquet. They were fascinated by the beautiful natural fragrance of Li Shangrong and Li Mengyao at the main table early, and their eyes could not be separated. Originally, most people''s attention was focused on the second princess Li Shang, who was as cold as ice but surprised everyone, but now Li Mengyao shook his head fiercely, and the proud curve seemed to be ready to come out. Everyone immediately focused on Li Mengyao.
Although the light cold national color of the second princess is eye-catching, Tong Yanju is also very charming! In case the emperor marries me, how can I choose? It''s super embarrassing!
At present, it''s normal for a man to fantasize. It''s just that when the beauty brightens her eyes, many dementia like men will continue to imagine at the party.
Gongliang Junyi has been socializing, but his eyes haven''t left around. Seeing the prince leave, he knew that a good play was coming
The Nighthawk was waiting outside the hall in black soap gauze and hat. Although he was the prince''s personal bodyguard, this dress was also allowed by the emperor, but it was not suitable for festive places after all, so he was arranged to guard outside the hall.
Now that the prince is going out, he can naturally follow him. They follow suit and leave the hall.
Before the prince left, more than twenty factory guards came in quietly and walked quietly to the banquet tables. Scattered distribution, like inadvertently standing.
Gongliang Junyi only knew that the prince leaving the palace in the plan was the secret signal for the beginning of deployment. Wei Xingchao didn''t tell him in detail how to proceed. It is estimated that he still didn''t trust him. However, he does not think that these factory guards are only randomly distributed. There must be a reason, because the prince''s party has been plotting for a long time, and all the arrangements are definitely targeted.
At the beginning, the emperor''s wine was in full swing and he didn''t notice anything different. When more than 20 factory guards stood, he was alert. More than a dozen bodyguards beside him also approached a few steps to protect the left and right. Wei Xingchao, as the sixth best internal expert, unconsciously retreated to the emperor.
"You suddenly entered the hall and stood between the banquet. What''s the matter?"
The head of a country should not panic easily in case of chaos. The old eunuch who has been serving the emperor should stand up first. The old eunuch cleared his throat. As a person next to the emperor, he is obviously an expert with amazing internal skill cultivation and drank his kung fu.
The drink woke up many ministers who had not found anything strange and looked around in confusion.
The old eunuch used his internal power to drink this. I don''t know why there was a sudden pain in Dantian Yungong.
In spite of the pain, he tried to remain silent. At this time, Du Ming, the deputy commander of Yingdu mansion, who was responsible for arranging the deployment of dark guards, quickly came forward and reported it.
"Go back to the manager''s father-in-law. The situation is urgent. I have something important to tell you!"
The old eunuch looked at the four roads and saw that both the hundred ministers in the hall and the samurai of the three division public gate guarding around him were silent. He knew that he could not start to spread panic here. He asked reluctantly, "what''s the matter? Come and talk."
Du Ming took two steps forward, gathered his hands around his mouth and whispered, "you''ve lived long enough, tiancuo, why don''t you die now!"
The old eunuch was startled and his eyes were wide. Before he could give his hand to Du Ming, he suddenly shouted in the hall. A fierce palm slapped the old eunuch on the back of his head when he was all focused on Du Ming. He didn''t even have time to scream, so his skull broke and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
"You, what are you doing!" the emperor was shocked, patted the big table angrily and drank to the man who attacked behind the old eunuch.
That man was Wei Xingchao who had just naturally sneaked into the emperor''s side to escort him without any sense of conflict!
As the boss of Dongji affair factory, one of the three companies, he has stood beside the emperor for many times over the years, but this time he suddenly raised his knife and ate it back, which makes it impossible to prevent!
