"Master Thirteen's last arrow actually split the arrow shaft in front of him into pieces. He is really a master shot..."
"Not only is it a great shot, I'm afraid Mr. Guan won't be able to do it again..."
Surrounded by a group of military generals and listening to their extremely straightforward praise, Zhu Jinghong walked into Yong'an Gate holding a jade belt.
Yong'an Hall is the main hall of Jinling Palace, with the highest standards and a large venue. The celebration banquet will be held here tonight.
A group of dozens of military generals entered the palace gate noisily, which immediately attracted the contemptuous eyes of the civil servants, who secretly cursed "Qiu Ba" in their hearts.
His Majesty Dan, Gao Shuyan was sitting among the crowd, his eyes falling on Zhu Jinghong who was in high spirits.
There is no doubt that he is full of fear in his heart towards this legitimate prince.
When he came to Jinling this time, Zhu Jinghong shined in both the raising of food and salary for the Japanese war and the subsequent war against the Japanese.
Although he did some ridiculous things in the middle, in Gao Shuyan's opinion, his flaws were still intact and he had truly made great achievements.
And these achievements should belong to the prince.
Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong is a fool. He only thinks about fighting and killing, and he does things recklessly without any scruples... This is Gao Shuyan's judgment of Zhu Jinghong.
Because of this, although he was wary of Zhu Jinghong, he also had the same view as Zhu Jingyuan and believed that Zhu Jinghong must be won over.
"Fortunately...the Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Master have a deep friendship!" Gao Shuyan murmured in a low voice.
Besides, above the throne, a seat has been set up in the middle, but the prince himself has not yet arrived.
Although the civil servants looked down upon military generals, they still treated Zhu Jinghong with great respect.
"Greetings to the Thirteenth Master..."
"I've met Master Thirteen..."
Everyone saluted in turn, expressing their respect for Zhu Jinghong.
This kind of respect is not only due to status, but also because it is all thanks to Zhu Jinghong's guarantee that Jinling's deficit can be eliminated smoothly. How can all the officials not be grateful.
Although Zhu Jinghong did many "evil things" in Jinling, he was able to make the civil and military personnel of Jinling feel grateful to him. I have to say that this is also a skill, and it is an incredible skill.
Zhu Jinghong greeted everyone and then walked up the imperial steps. His position was on the left side of Zhu Jingyuan.
After walking up the imperial steps and looking at the empty space in the middle, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Why hasn't the prince arrived yet?"
After more than half a month of recuperation, Zhu Jingyuan's body has recovered a lot and he has no problem attending celebrations.
The official on the side replied: "His Royal Highness is taking medicine and will be there in a moment!"
Although his body was getting better, Zhu Jinghong still kept taking the medicine at least seven or eight times a day, all of which were carefully prepared by the imperial doctors.
Zhu Jinghong had just sat down when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the prince who had appeared.
Zhu Jinghong stood up quickly, walked up to the prince, and pushed aside the bachelor of the East Palace who was supporting him.
Just listen to Zhu Jinghong say: "Fourth brother, you are here. If you don't come, we can't start the banquet. Everyone here is so hungry that your chest is touching your back!"
Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said: "Old Thirteen, why are you the only one who talks so much, but no one else has spoken yet!"
It can be seen that he is in a good mood.
After listening to the rainbow fart for more than an hour, the officials praised Zhu Jingyuan as being comparable to Yao and Shun, which made everyone feel comfortable.
After the prince sat down and everyone present paid their respects, the celebration banquet officially began.
Banquets have established procedures and fixed etiquette systems, but they are actually quite boring.
After about an hour, all the established procedures were completed. Zhu Jingyuan left the scene due to physical discomfort, and Zhu Jinghong took charge of the scene.
As he was about to return to Beijing, Zhu Jinghong decided to do something extraordinary to "smear" himself and further reduce his external threat.
"Today's banquet should be full of bliss. At this moment, the drums and music are singing, but a beautiful woman is sent to dance..."
"Pass my words, go and call the beauties from the Qinhuai River to dance and sing for everyone present!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
This place is a holy place for palaces. If a bunch of singers come in to perform dances and word spreads, do you want the royal family’s face?
"Thirteenth Master, you must not..." Gao Shuyan was the first to object.
If Zhu Jinghong really wants to do what he says, the court will not only impeach him Gao Shuyan, but Prince Rui's minions will target the prince directly.
As the elder brother, he could neither guide his brother to have a correct view of entertainment nor restrain him from misbehaving. The fault was not the fault of the prince.
"Scholar Gao, what's wrong with this?" Zhu Jinghong looked puzzled, pretending not to understand.
"Thirteenth Master, how can the holy land of your palace be defiled by despicable and despicable people!" Gao Shu spoke righteously.
Then he looked at the inspector, He Gujin, with a threatening look in his eyes.
He Gujin also felt guilty. After all, it was his family who took Zhu Jinghong to play in the Qinhuai River.
"Thirteenth Master, this is indeed inappropriate..." He Gujin was extremely embarrassed.
After everyone tried to persuade him, Zhu Jinghong gave up his nonsense and started to exchange cups with others.
His goal was achieved, and this reckless behavior once again alleviated Gao Shuyan's fear.
Everyone drank and drank, and soon the banquet atmosphere reached a climax, and many people came to toast Zhu Jinghong.
"Master Thirteen, I would like to propose a toast to you!" The visitor was Jia Yucun.
"Come!" Zhu Jinghong immediately picked up the cup and looked very happy.
Although the character of Jia Yucun is not very good, he ranks first among the prefects in collecting and allocating grain this time, and his ability is still outstanding.
During the last rescue, Jia Yucun was the only one who brought the doctor over, and it was clear that he was as careful as his hair.
The two had a drink. Jia Yucun was about to retreat, but was stopped by Zhu Jinghong.
"I heard that you were supported by a squire named Zhen back then?"
How could Jia Yucun forget what happened back then? What made him curious was how Zhu Jinghong knew about it.
Could it be that the Crown Prince was interested in me and asked someone to check my details? Now you call Master Thirteen to ask again?
Jia Yucun was a little excited, but he couldn't tell it at all on his face. He replied very calmly: "Report to the Thirteenth Master, this is what happened!"
"What about the Zhen family and his wife now?"
Zhu Jinghong asked for Yinglian, hoping to help her find her relatives.
"Mr. Zhen, his daughter was abducted many years ago and his house was burned down. He sold his property and returned to the countryside, but... he was deceived by his father-in-law and became impoverished!"
"Then he went crazy and wandered away with a group of people, and now he is nowhere to be found!"
Nodding, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "Where is Mr. Zhen's wife?"
This was a profound question. Although he didn't understand Zhu Jinghong's intention, Jia Yucun still replied: "Zhen's wife Fengshi... died of illness three years ago!"
The Zhen family was kind to Jia Yucun, and Jiao Xing cared about the friendship with the Feng family, so they sent people to pay homage on the roadside on the day of his funeral.
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh.
There is no news from her father and her mother is dead. This Yinglian is really pitiful. Her life experience is similar to that of Zhu Jinghong before he traveled through time.
He originally wanted to find a relative for Yinglian, but now that his parents are gone, there is no need to find such a relative.
Her grandfather was a member of the old man's family and bullied his daughter and son-in-law. How could he be kind to his granddaughter?
Thinking about it, it's impossible. It would be better not to recognize this kiss.
"This is really an unexpected situation!" Zhu Jinghong sighed with emotion.
Jia Yucun didn't answer. He couldn't figure out what Zhu Jinghong was thinking, so he simply remained silent.
Looking at Jia Yucun, Zhu Jinghong encouraged: "You have the ability, work hard in Yingtian, and you will definitely make a difference in the future!"
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Thirteenth Master. I will repay the emperor's favor with all my heart and soul!"
After clinking glasses with Zhu Jinghong and talking, Jia Yucun completed tonight's task and returned to his colleagues with the glass in hand.
"Brother Lin, why are you so frowning?"
"Hey... have you read the newspaper today?"
"About Rongguo Mansion?" Jia Yucun asked in a low voice.
Of course he should pay attention to the Di Bao Jia Yucun, and he would pay even more attention to matters related to the Jia family, so he understood what Lin Ruhai was worried about.
But Jia Yucun still pretended not to know and said: "It's just a villain who is slandering me. Brother Lin, don't worry about it. Ningrong and his family have great achievements, how can they be hurt by this!"
Lin Ruhai sighed. He was not worried about the Jia family. He was worried that his daughter would ruin her reputation.
But how can these words be understood clearly? Otherwise, trouble will happen even if nothing happens.
Thanks to "book friend 20170616230210698" and "Duke Beckham" for the reward, thank you!
