People's hearts are unpredictable, even if they are their own children, let alone others when they have selfish intentions or evil intentions.
And the most difficult thing to predict in the world is the emperor's heart.
The emperor is sitting on the throne of the world, with his hands cutting across all parts of the world. With two gentle coughs, the whole palace of the people will turn into thunderous roars, shocking the world.
This is no joke, and it is not expansionary at all. In the old Jing Dynasty, the emperor had such great power and ability.
The Blue Moon Festival happens every year, and it falls on March 25th. No matter how the customs change in various places, eating blue moon cakes during the Blue Moon Festival is the top priority on this day. Even prisoners on death row will take a bite of the blue moon cake on this day, and beggars on the streets can beg for blue moon cakes at the shops and eat all they can.
So is Blue Moon Festival strange? In fact, it's not unusual, but people are lazy. They have to get up early and work late at night due to daily livelihood. There is little time to rest throughout the year, and the Blue Moon Festival just gives people an excuse to be lazy.
In addition, there is indeed a reason to celebrate this year's Blue Moon Festival, to celebrate the new emperor's new atmosphere, and to celebrate the victory of the south.
Of course, the so-called "excuse for laziness" is for most ordinary people. The higher you stand, the less room for "lazy" there is. Not to mention the man who stands at the pinnacle of secular power in this world.
Yang Shu has his own way of doing things. He has not been taken seriously by others since he was a child. He does not dare to let others know about his mood or thoughts easily. He can only do things quietly without being public. After growing up, he built a palace, then fought in the "Grand Examination", and finally ascended the throne as emperor. Along the way, he never changed his introverted or insidious character. And he always thought it was his support.
After he ascended the throne, the late emperor Yang Jian did not teach any "emperor skills" to Yang Shu. The only thing he handed over to him was "Chi". Nowadays, Yang Shu is no longer lazy, and his lazy bed must be tidied up.
Therefore, there is no reason for Yang Shu to relax during the Blue Moon Festival.
The banquet for the ministers was just a means by Yang Shu. On the one hand, it was to congratulate the south for the great victory. On the other hand, it was also a signal to the people of the world: don't be nervous, the world is stable, and everyone can live well.
Live well! Three seemingly simple words but very complicated. At least Yang Shu now understands it deeply.
The "redness" on his chest seemed to be growing, and it was already the size of two palms. The ever-present pain became more and more intense. Even if Yang Shu didn't want to stay in the warm soup of Fu'an Palace, he couldn't help it, otherwise he would have to sleep. Affected.
As for sleeping with the queen, Yang Shu has not thought about it for a long time. First of all, it was difficult to see the "redness" on his chest, and he felt awkward wearing clothes or using a magic circle to cover it up. Moreover, the pain continued and he was always distracted. He will only ask for it a few more times unless he has been holding it in for a long time. Of course, not to the queen alone, but to the current concubines of his previous concubines.
There are endless things to do and endless seals to sign every day. Don’t dare to be careless about everything, you must carefully consider it over and over again. Fortunately, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was very helpful, so that Yang Shu did not have to consider everything from scratch. After sorting it out, he just picked one of the several choices given by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and signed the one that he felt was suitable and left it to deal with.
Even on the Blue Moon Festival, Yang Shu still has to work from morning till night.
Tomorrow is March 25th, and the big banquet in front of Wanmin Palace is getting better and better with the sound of silk and bamboo. There are not only banquets in the square, but also a slightly higher stage, where the palace's dance team will perform on the stage. While drinking and eating, watching dancing and listening to music, and chatting quietly with colleagues, most people felt that although the state banquet was difficult to eat, it was not without its merits.
Yang Shu picked up the vegetables and poured the wine himself. Originally, eunuchs were doing all this, but he didn't like it. He liked to do it himself. When it comes to eating, doesn’t it mean that people are useless when they have to be served by others?
While others were watching the singing and dancing, Yang Shu was watching them.
Although his cultivation level is not high, Yang Shu has learned a very simple pupil technique that allows him to see further and more clearly.
The songs and dances in the palace were not impressive. In his early years, Yang Shu had seen a lot of songs and dances when he traveled around, and there were countless meat and vegetables. To be honest, the songs and dances in the palace were too old and nothing new. But it seems that the people below are watching it with gusto.
Some distant ministers were not within Yang Shu's "observation" category, and he would not pay attention to those "minor officials". He was mainly looking at the two rows of seats closer.
The liveliest table was undoubtedly the table where Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng was sitting. He was chatting and tasting wine with a loud voice. There were even people who seemed to be drinking, singing and performing the drinking orders.
People at other tables looked at Ye Lansheng's table from time to time. When their eyes finally met Ye Lansheng's, they quickly raised their glasses in a distant salute. If it weren't for the state banquet where people were not allowed to leave easily, I don't know how many people would have gone to Ye Lansheng to propose a toast.
The corners of Yang Shu's mouth turned up slightly, and then he looked away from Ye Lansheng. Could he still be unclear about Ye Lansheng's current situation? From the day he established the Central Academy and stripped the functions of the Central Academy from the Left Prime Minister's Office, Ye Lansheng, the left prime minister, had no room for improvement. Not moving does not mean that he has forgotten that he is not a tolerant person, but he still lacks an opportunity now.
If you want to do it, make it a big one! A mere Ye Lansheng is not enough for Yang Shu to set up a stick. He needs a bigger target. Of course, Ye Lansheng would be a good excuse. Otherwise, Yang Shu would not have uncharacteristically placed Ye Lansheng second in the invitation list for this state banquet.
He looked away and saw another table next to Ye Lansheng. This table was also very interesting, in sharp contrast to the lively atmosphere at Ye Lansheng's table.
People at the table were eating with their heads lowered, as if they were mute. If you look closely, you can see that several people's faces were tense and their foreheads were sweating, looking like they were suffering. These are all senior officials of the third rank and even second rank. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be in such a mess, but there is another person sitting at the table. With this person sitting at the same table, it is not an exaggeration for the people around them to behave like this.
Pang Ban, the person that the whole country is least willing to mention, is often associated with words such as "sinister, vicious, arrogant, poisonous snake..." and so on.
When eating with Panda, I worry that the other person will mark down my chopsticks if I don’t hold them properly. And being remembered by a huge person is not a good thing.
The corners of Yang Shu's mouth turned up a little more. He was satisfied with Pang Ban's power. However, he was satisfied, but Yang Shu didn't feel that Xuan Qingwei had played its full role. He even thought that Xuan Qingwei's always hiding in the shadows would not be so beneficial in dealing with some things.
So Yang Shu took advantage of the reward of this national war and was given some medicine by Xuanqing Guard. The result was not bad. There was no special feedback from the Xuanqing Guard. Everything was very docile, even Pang Ban behaved very submissively.
Whether a knife is easy to use or not depends on whether it will cut your hand. Then swing to others.
