Unknowingly, it is already November in the Mo Dynasty, and tomorrow, a grand celebration banquet will be held in Yanyang City.
At this moment, the people of Yanyang City and the officials in charge of the celebration banquet were all busy nervously.
The north wind blew out, blowing the treetops in the courtyard, but it couldn't move Su Yunqi's determined heart.
In the Su Mansion, several ladies were sitting in the room, warming themselves over a charcoal fire and playing leaf cards, while Master Su Yunqi closed the study tightly.
"You must handle tomorrow's matters well. Don't mess up." Su Yunqi instructed.
Su Yunqi's eyes were full of expectations for tomorrow.
"Understood, sir. The young ones are safe and sound." Butler Lu Huan responded.
The servants on the side all looked at Su Yunqi, waiting for instructions.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's all get down."
"yes."
After watching a few people leave, Su Yunqi walked to the window and looked up at the moon in the sky. Although he didn't say a word, it could be seen from the corner of his mouth that he was very proud.
…
The next day, it was still dark, the sky was hazy, and visibility was extremely low.
Yanyang City is busy both inside and outside the city.
"Su Shangshu."
Su Yunqi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, smiled slightly and walked away from the crowd.
"Master." Butler Lu Huan hurried over.
Looking at Lu Huan with a smile on his face, Su Yunqi pretended to be calm: "What's the matter?"
Afterwards, Lu Huan looked at the people coming and going around him, and then he spoke into Su Yunqi's ear.
"Okay. I get it. Get down."
"yes."
Su Yunqi walked towards the arranged scene. Although he was not a member of the Etiquette Department, he could already tell from Su Yunqi's movements that he was a member of the Etiquette Department.
The celebration banquet has not yet begun, but Su Yunqi seems to have already felt the atmosphere of the celebration banquet.
A large brand new red carpet extended from outside the city gate to the front of the imperial gate. There were various fruits on both sides of the carpet for warm reception.
I heard that today's fruit does not cost the soldiers any money, and all expenses are paid by the national treasury.
But the fruit can only be enjoyed by the soldiers who defended the borders of Huguang this time.
Such a scene, but the glory and glory in the lives of those soldiers who braved the thorns for Da Mo, is the dream of many soldiers.
"Su Shangshu, try some fresh fruit." The owner of a fruit stall shouted enthusiastically after seeing Su Yunqi.
Su Yunqi looked back, smiled slightly, and waved his hand: "No."
As they walked, Su Yunqi had reached the outside of the city gate before he knew it.
I saw various red cloths hanging on the city gate, and the Minister of Rites and internal officials in charge of the celebration banquet were all talking outside the city gate.
After seeing Su Yunqi's figure, the official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly walked forward: "Hey! Su Shangshu is here."
Su Yunqi smiled: "Su already feels the excitement before today's celebration party begins."
Seeing Su Yunqi, other officials rushed over and said hello.
"That's right. It's rare to have such a celebration banquet. Today's Holy Emperor attaches so much importance to it, so ministers will naturally do this well." Just after finishing speaking, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, looked at the surrounding decorations and looked at Su Yunqi. : "Su Shangshu, what do you think of this arrangement? Did you find anything wrong along the way?"
Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, stunned some ministers with his words.
Although Su Yunqi's official position was the same as that of Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, Ding Liu was as respectful as a lower official meeting a superior official.
Su Yunqi laughed and shook his head: "No, Su came along and saw that the arrangement was very proper. Furthermore, Su is not responsible for this matter, so naturally he doesn't know whether it is reasonable or unreasonable."
Listening to Su Yunqi's words, Ding Liu smiled slightly: "Okay, I won't disturb Su Shangshu. If there is anything inappropriate, you can tell Ding."
"Okay." After Su Yunqi responded, he looked around again.
Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, also hurriedly arranged the scene and started discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
And now Sun Zhicai, who still has his family at home, is indeed not in a hurry at all.
"Master." He shouted and walked into the study.
After hearing the sound, Sun Zhicai raised his head: "What's the matter?"
"Today a celebration banquet is held in Yanyang City. Why don't you go and stay in the study instead?" He asked.
Seeing his wife's gorgeous dress, Sun Zhicai looked out the window and then replied to his wife's words.
"I want you to go. I have other things to do." Sun Zhicai refused.
Seeing the master busy non-stop, He said: "You will know how busy you are in one day. What are you busy with?"
After talking, seeing that the master still looked indifferent, He suddenly lost interest: "Since the master won't go, then we won't go either."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. He walked out of the study and went to the backyard.
Seeing his wife leaving, Sun Zhicai was helpless. As a member of the Imperial Academy, attending this celebration banquet is nothing more than causing trouble for myself.
Outside the Sun Mansion, the streets and alleys were well prepared and waiting for people to arrive.
Since Kyoto of Mexico is located in Nanyu Province, and Huguang is located in the upper left and upper Nanzhong Provinces of Nanyu Province, it would take less than a month and a half for people to reach Yanyang City.
Because Nanyu Province is close to the sea, in order to reduce the disaster caused by hurricanes, the palace was specially built on the border between Huguang Province and Nanyu Province.
"I'm coming!"
A soldier hurried over to report.
At this moment, there is a sea of people outside the city, with the people around them, and the emperor who is high above is still on the road.
"Play music! Start!"
Prime Minister Zuo shouted, and the band and others started to play.
The lions played by two people danced happily and energetically outside the city gate.
Drums, flutes and other musical instruments were mixed in, making the atmosphere even more lively.
"Where is the Emperor?" Prime Minister Zuo asked Prime Minister Right who was standing aside.
Prime Minister Right looked at the other ministers with a confused expression.
"It should be soon." Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, replied.
The emperor hasn't seen it yet, but the soldiers have.
I saw more than a few thousand soldiers and several generals walking over neatly.
Some people wearing commoners were waving and shouting on both sides.
In such a scene, even children as young as a few years old followed with interest.
"Dad, Mom, it's so lively." A child sat on his father's shoulder.
Perhaps because there were many people and the child was short, the child was allowed to sit on his shoulders and watch.
"Yes." The child's father sighed together.
The mother on the side saw how happy her child was today, and encouraged her son: "Do you want to be like them in the future?"
Looking at the mighty general's face, the child seemed to have worshiped him in his heart.
He looked at his mother with a happy face: "Mom, I will study hard and become like a general in the future."
"Okay." The child's mother was very pleased.
Just as people were happily playing musical instruments and dancing lions outside the city gate, a voice came over.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Suddenly, the people, officials, and soldiers outside the city gate knelt down one after another, and the people playing musical instruments and dancing lions also hurriedly stopped and knelt on the ground.
After the thirty-year-old emperor got off the sedan chair, he was carefully supported up by the eunuchs on the side, followed by hundreds of eunuchs and maids.
The dragon chair has already been placed on the tower.
After the emperor crossed the threshold, he carefully walked to the dragon chair and sat down.
Looking at the officials kneeling on the ground in front of the city tower, they shouted: "Everyone, please be free!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A loud voice rang out.
Seeing this situation, the emperor was very happy. Seeing that he was managing such a large country, he suddenly felt that it was not easy for him.
Seeing that the band stopped, the emperor looked at the eunuch Li Zi beside him and whispered cautiously: "Why did it stop?"
Only after the eunuch Li Zi spoke in the emperor's ear did the emperor's doubts disappear.
"continue."
"The Emperor has a decree! Continue!" Eunuch Li Zi followed.
The emperor shouted and the band started.
The people around him were very happy and a little scared when they saw the emperor's face.
After the band and lion dance performed for a while, the emperor became a little impatient.
"Why isn't it over yet?" The emperor asked Li Zi on the side again.
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders, and the old slave can stop as you are told." Li Zi replied.
"How do you explain it?" the emperor asked.
Although he is the emperor, facing so many people and civil and military officials, he is still very panicked.
"You just have to say stop."
After hearing this, the emperor plucked up his courage and looked down: "Stop!"
At this time, the band and lion dance stopped.
The emperor stood up, looked at the people below the city tower, and spoke: "I said before that if you win this battle, you will be rewarded. Now, in front of the people, I will give you the reward first. "
After hearing this, the officials below naturally did not dare not to do it, so they followed suit.
While giving out silver rewards, the soldiers were covered with red flowers. The scene was very lively.
After looking at the rewards, the emperor stood up again, looked at the soldiers, and said: "Although the battle between the Mo Dynasty and the Qi Kingdom was victorious, the war has never stopped. Soldiers, please don't forget it in the future. You are the ones who protect the territory of the Mo Dynasty, and you must not retreat when encountering trouble!"
"The generals will follow His Majesty's instructions carefully and will surely live up to His Majesty's trust."
Seeing the soldiers below the tower responding like this, the emperor was very happy.
"Is this done?" the emperor quietly asked the eunuch Li Zi beside him.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed done." Li Zi replied.
"Continue!" the emperor shouted down.
After hearing this, the soldiers looked at the civil and military officials aside, at a loss.
"The emperor means to enter the city." Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, hurriedly explained.
At this time, the generals in the front understood what the emperor meant, and they rode their horses and walked carefully and slowly towards the front city gate.
However, I thought I would enter Beijing smoothly like this, but unexpectedly, a blind arrow shot over. One arrow hit the left chest of the left prime minister Huang Zhiyuan, and the other hit the right prime minister's leg.
"Guard you!" Eunuch Li Zi shouted hurriedly.
When he reacted, an arrow hit the city wall, not far from the emperor.
There was already a panic under the city gate.
"Brothers, catch the assassin!"
