The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 323 New Year's Eve 3
"Your Highness is here!"

Following the eunuch's loud shout, the conversation of the officials present stopped abruptly, and everyone stood up in unison.

Accompanied by two eunuchs, Zhao Yanxun, who was dressed in a purple tuanlong robe and a winged crown, walked into the hall, with a smile on his face at the moment.

He had a reunion dinner with the three concubines just now, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm, which naturally made him happy.

"Your Highness Wanan..."

"All blessings, Your Highness..."

Everyone saluted Zhao Yanxun, and Zhao Yanxun nodded to everyone, and soon he came to the main seat and took his seat.

After Zhao Yanxun was seated, under the leadership of the four senior officials of the palace, all the officials lined up and paid homage to Zhao Yanxun, saying: "Your Majesty, I wish you all the best!"

"My dear friends, please take your seats!"

All the officials got up and sat down in order.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhao Yanxun smiled and said: "Don't be restrained, I just invite everyone to have a meal tonight and talk!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun told Huo An who was on the side: "Let everyone who should be served, but don't let them say that the palace does not provide food and drink!"

This joke was actually not funny, but all the officials present laughed, and they laughed very happily.

Huo An went down to deliver the order, and soon a maid served dishes and fruits.

Although there are only four simple things, in this era of scarcity of materials, this is already considered very rare.

At this moment, the musicians were already in place and began to play cheerful and melodious tunes.

In the midst of singing and dancing, Lin Quan filled a glass of wine with a jug, and then carefully handed it to Zhao Yanxun.

Taking the wine glass from Lin Quan, Zhao Yanxun said to the crowd: "Everyone, wine is food, this thing is rare nowadays, even this king...hasn't had a drink for three months!"

"Today's New Year's Eve, it's time to drink. The king has ordered the treasury to open the supply. If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"

After saying that, Zhao Yanxun stood up, raised his glass and said, "For this first glass of wine, I would like to thank all my lovers. In the 24th year of Tai'an, there was a catastrophe. It was you who shared weal and woe with this king, and finally overcome all difficulties and achieved stability!"

"Come... let's drink this cup to the brim!"

When Zhao Yanxun drank the first glass of wine, everyone followed suit.

The drink stimulated the taste buds and made all the officials very satisfied.

Zhao Yanxun claimed that he hadn't drank alcohol in March, but the officials present here really didn't drink alcohol for half a year.

After all, most of the drinks were consumed by them in the first two months of the zombie outbreak.

After Zhao Yanxun was seated, Guan Hetai was the first to get up and said, "Your Highness just said that, your minister is extremely ashamed..."

"The current stable situation is all due to His Royal Highness's commanding power, and the command is firm, so there is such a good scene... How dare the ministers covet the achievements of the sky!"

Speaking of this, Guan Hetai solemnly said: "Catastrophes come from the sky, Li Shu suffers, Your Highness accepts the destiny of heaven to save all people..."

Guan Hetai walked out of the position, held a wine glass to face Zhao Yanxun, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I respect you for a glass. I wish my Wang Fushou good health and clear up Yunei!"

I have to say that Guan Hetai really knows how to speak, and he talked so much in one breath that he praised Zhao Yanxun to the sky.

Of course, this is not entirely a boast, after all, many of them are real.

After Guan Hetai finished speaking, Cheng Wenguang picked up his wine glass and got up, walked out of his seat and knelt down to Zhao Yanxun.

"Your Highness is blessed with good fortune and good fortune to all people, and I also wish my king Wanfu Jinan!"

If there are four high-ranking officials in the palace, then the two speaking in front of you are the leaders among the high-ranking officials, each representing a different faction.

Regardless of whether there are party disputes or mountain tops, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is a fundamentally unavoidable thing.

After the two senior officials spoke, the rest of the officials also got up one after another and wished Zhao Yanxun the new year respectfully.

Some people call it "Fushou Ankang", while others say "Wanfu Jinan".

Zhao Yanxun didn't care about this, but raised his glass to the crowd and said: "I also wish Qing and others that the political affairs will be smooth in the coming year, and the rule will be peaceful and healthy!"

"Come, drink this cup to the brim!"

Amidst the cheerful music, everyone drank the second cup.

The banquet gradually got better and better, and the programs arranged by Dianyi also came up one after another.

There are dances, acrobatics, opera, and clowns specially made to make officials laugh.

In the center of the hall, Ma Jin and a dwarf are performing.

According to the established lines, they joked with each other and made some funny moves at the same time, which made everyone on the scene laugh.

Although he was performing, Ma Jin was not idle, looking around at everyone present.

The officials are all dressed in official uniforms, which look formal and professional. Compared with them, the Ming Palace in Liaoping is similar to the Caotai team.

People are profit-seeking, if it wasn't for his family in Liaoping, Ma Jin would definitely join Prince Yong's Mansion and become a diligent and good citizen.

At the end of the performance, Ma Jin and the dwarf exited the hall, and snowflakes were falling outside again.

At this moment, he thought of his family, and wondered if they would be able to have a full meal tonight in Liaoping.

After the performance, they should wait outside the Yuqiong Garden. After everyone has arrived, the officials of the ceremony office will take them away together.

It was snowing in the sky, it could be said to be surprisingly cold, all the men were waiting outside, at this moment they all stamped their feet and breathed out, and the music in Yuqiong Garden could still be heard in their ears.

Makin trotted to and fro to keep him warm.

But he accidentally ran a little far, and then he was scolded.

"Go back, you are the one who walked around in the palace?" a guard Xiaoqi officer said with a livid face.

God is so pitiful, Ma Jin has only run more than [-] steps at this moment, and he is still outside the wall of Yuqiong Garden.

But he didn't dare to argue, he had to answer quickly, and then returned to the crowd.

Seeing this person return, Su Chuyun continued patrolling with his guards.

That's right, the little banner official who scolded Ma Jin was Su Chuyun from Sujiazhuang.

When the Privy Council was recruiting soldiers, Su Chuyun successfully joined the army after signing up, and was directly selected into the bodyguard department because of his outstanding performance.

It was also because of this that Su Chuyun was directly promoted to a higher level, pushing his loyalty to Zhao Yanxun to a new peak.

Talents are everywhere, and Su Chuyun is no exception. After joining the Guards Department for several battles, he was promoted to a small banner officer because of his outstanding performance.

After reprimanding Ma Jin, Su Chuyun led his men and continued to patrol along the established route.

When passing by the guard's duty room, Su Chuyun felt envious when he saw the brothers who were not on duty bragging.

In the Dianqianwei duty room, the two general flags were sitting facing each other.

Zhang Meng held the jug in one hand, and filled Lin Dagui's cup on the opposite side.

"My lord is too stingy, just give us a pot of wine, Lao Lin, what do you think this is enough for?"

Lin Dagui calmly said: "Just keep quiet, it's good to have a drink, don't forget that we still have to stand guard!"

Zhang Meng put down the jug, and sat back on his seat: "Old Lin, you mean this little wine can make us drunk?"

"Don't talk about this little wine, just come to two big altars, we will still watch for the prince after drinking it!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Meng said in a low voice: "When we are free in two days, we must ask the prince to give us more wine!"

Lin Dagui suddenly laughed out loud, and said slowly, "Speak up if you have the guts!"

Zhang Meng's eyes widened, and he wanted to argue for himself, but then he relaxed.

"Drink first, and then find a chance to talk later!"
