The four kings did not argue or feel it was unfair as to who was in front and who was behind, because this position was arranged according to the chronological order of the ancestors' crowning of kings, and the right was more noble than the left.
The first person to be crowned king was the ancestor of King Jingshan, who was crowned king a hundred years ago, then the ancestor of King Zhennan, who was crowned king for his contribution to the Qi War, then King Andong, and finally King Pingxi.
King Pingxi was the king who was named a few years ago.
Finally, it’s Nie Chen.
The Hou who was conferred yesterday is the youngest and the latest.
They didn't say anything, took their own people, and sat down where they belonged.
Nie Chen sat in the fourth seat on the left, and Weng Qiuchan sat next to him. Today, Weng Qiuchan was extraordinarily beautiful. She was dressed in palace attire, showing her grace, splendor, and grace.
Who would have thought that a female bandit who used to fight on horseback and kidnap people on the street would one day become a marquise and sit majestically in the most sacred Golden Palace in the country?
Even Weng Qiuchan found it incredible that Nie Chen had brought all this to her.
Zhou An and Ouyang Ming sat side by side behind Nie Chen. There were also tables in front of them, including melons, fruits, drinks, and other items.
The treatment of bringing an entourage into the palace is only available to the three first-rank officials and the four kings and one marquis. Other officials can only bring their wives.
There was no such thing in the past. When holding a banquet, only officials could come. The ladies had to go to the harem to be entertained by the queen and concubines.
It was not until the other three kings appeared one after another that people were worried about the royal family and insisted on bringing guards. The decline of imperial power was an indisputable fact. If they couldn't resist it, they were allowed to bring guards.
Since the guards can bring them, ladies and gentlemen, let’s bring them together. Let’s all party together. It’s so lively when there are so many people.
After King Pingxi became the king, he also enjoyed this treatment, and now Nie Chen also enjoys it.
Therefore, the state banquet gradually turned into a family banquet.
On the top of the dragon chair, there is also a table, which is where the emperor and the queen are.
On the right side under the dragon chair, there is a smaller table, which is the place for the prince and the princess.
Further down, there are the three great first-grades and the four kings and one marquis.
These are all particular.
Behind Nie Chen, Zhou An asked softly,
"Hey, Senior Brother Ouyang, what did the Lord and those princes say at the door just now? They were both mice and tigers. Why can't I understand them?"
Ouyang Ming smiled bitterly and secretly thought that Zhou An couldn't understand these words, otherwise this guy would dare to kill King Andong and King Jingshan on the spot in a rage.
After thinking about it, Ouyang Ming said,
"My lord is fighting wits and courage with those princes. You don't need to know the meaning. You just need to remember that when the lord speaks, you don't need to interrupt. Just do whatever the lord asks you to do."
When it comes to talking skills, our lord is not inferior to anyone. He is quick-witted and there is no need to worry. "
"Oh, I understand, are you going to kill someone later? This ruined palace doesn't even allow you to carry a knife. How can you kill someone?"
Ouyang Ming's head was full of black lines and he said,
"If we don't kill people, if others don't come to kill us, we won't kill others. Just eat with peace of mind. Don't drink. Be careful of getting drunk and getting into trouble. Drink as much as you want when you get home. This place is full of wolves, tigers and leopards. Don't do that. Take a drop of wine, understand?”
"I understand, you don't have to look at me. The wine in this wretched place is not as good as the hero wine in Weihu County."
Zhou An looked at the wine bottle on the table and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Ever since he drank Haohan Wine, Zhou An felt that other wines were as bland as water and difficult to swallow.
Inside the room, there were charcoal basins and other items. At some point, it started snowing again outside. A cool breeze blew into the hall through the open door, making the cold people shiver.
Even a charcoal basin cannot withstand the bitter cold of such a person.
The Feng Kingdom was originally a bitter and cold place in the north, and was called the northern barbarian by the three southern countries. However, such a harsh environment also created the northern character who was good at fighting and unyielding.
King Zhennan couldn't bear the cold and shouted at the top of his voice,
"Hey, the guy standing guard at the door, come here!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Zeng ran over on horseback with small steps, and asked with a low eyebrow,
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"It's freezing. Don't you feel cold? It's snowing outside in this winter. Do you want us to freeze to death? Hurry up and close the door to let some warmth in the house."
King Zhennan slapped the table in dissatisfaction and shouted.
At this moment, all the eyes in the hall were attracted.
People also became quiet.
Eunuch Zeng was so cold that he was sweating all over. He quickly explained,
"My lord, don't be surprised. There are still some officials who haven't arrived yet. Just wait a little longer. Once everyone is here, we can close the door."
"Then tell them to hurry up. Why are they lingering? If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain."
Nie Chen wanted to laugh when he heard this. Don't you have any idea why the officials came so late? You didn't tell the officials to stay away when you entered the palace.
Soon, the officials came one after another and found their seats to sit down. Finally, the three major first-class officials came on stage.
Like the four kings, the left and right prime ministers and generals all came in with their wives and two guards.
"Hey, Prince Anton, you're fine."
"King Zhennan, long time no see. You are still strong."
"Prince Pingxi, how are you doing lately?"
"Prince Jingshan, I heard that you discovered a thousand-year-old pine last time. That is auspicious."
The three great first-grade men were very polite to the four kings and greeted them warmly.
They didn't sit down, and Nie Chen couldn't tell who was who, so he simply ignored them.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his fifties came over, hugged Nie Chen and said,
"Master Nie, when we first met, it turns out that a hero comes from a young age."
Nie Chen didn't know who the other party was, so he had no choice but to stand up together with Weng Qiuchan, hold their hands and return the greeting,
"Master Xiang, you're welcome."
He can still distinguish between civilian uniforms and military attache uniforms. The other party is either the left prime minister or the right prime minister.
"Alas, I'm ashamed to say that, a few days ago, my useless dog caused trouble for you, Mr. Marquis."
Oh, now I understand, the other party is that "father Zheng Sanlang", Prime Minister Dafeng Zuo.
"You're welcome, Prime Minister. Your young master is also young and energetic."
Hearing this, Zheng Sanlang sighed heavily and said,
"It's all my fault that I don't know how to teach my son. I'm busy with government affairs and neglect to discipline my dog. If it weren't for Mr. Nie's intervention, I wouldn't have known that he had done so many evil things. My old face has been completely disgraced by him. .
He is my only son, and he is spoiled at home. What a spoiled child a loving mother is.
Lord Nie might as well give him a lesson to make him remember and change his bad temper.
The Prime Minister has ordered that he be banned for three months and he will never be allowed to come out to cause trouble again. "
