Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Here!"

The servant girl was also terrified, and hurriedly turned and left.

bang~

Yu Wenqian suddenly swiped with her backhand, swept a cushion on the soft bed to the ground, and cursed angrily: "Good you Guo Ye, you actually planted a dark chess game in the East Factory early, but this princess underestimated you!" Hmph, this concubine's plan is imperative, so you don't support it if you say you don't support it? Yunshang!!!"

"Subordinate, subordinate!"

Hearing Yu Wenqian's shout, Yun Chang stood up timidly, and replied tremblingly: "Master, my subordinates are here!"

Yu Wenqian ordered: "You pass on an order for me, let the directors of the East Factory strictly check the list of personnel in the East Factory, and let me check them one by one to see who is suspicious, who is the secret agent arranged by Guo Ye early on." Chess. Tell them, it is better to be in vain than to indulge!!"

"Here!"

Yun Chang wished she could leave this place now, and hurriedly put on her embroidered shoes again, ready to run out.

"slow!"

Yu Wenqian stopped Yun Shang suddenly, and suddenly asked her with a pun: "After the dinner tomorrow, I will use you, do you have any complaints?"

"what?"

Yun Chang could naturally understand the meaning of Yu Wenqian's words. For no reason, her cheeks blushed and her heart panicked with embarrassment.

Seeing Yunshang running away, Yu Wenqian had a strange look in her eyes. She stared at the entrance of the hall and said to herself, "Guo Ye, I don't believe you have such good concentration. Hmph, I would rather believe that there are people in this world." Ghost, I won’t believe you Guo Ye’s nonsense. Whether you support it or not, it really doesn’t matter if you say it! Tomorrow’s banquet, let’s wait and see!”

Chapter 708 Changes After the Banquet

The next day, at dusk, Yu Wenqian sent chariots and horses to the palace to invite Guo Ye to the Tuyuhun palace for a banquet.

Of course, this time the imperial banquet in the Tuyuhun Palace was still invited in the name of Murong Yan, the puppet Khan, and Guo Ye was also the envoy of the Tang Dynasty who was sent to Tuyuhun by the Tang Emperor.

Yu Wenqian is not a fool, she is not arrogant enough to get carried away.Even though the current Tuyuhun ruling and opposition parties have said the same thing, but before the general situation is determined, there are some things that cannot be put on the table in an open manner to show the public.

The palace is in the very center of Bailan City, not far from the palace. Guo Ye did not bring other people to the banquet, but only let Liu Zhenxuan accompany him.

There was still a short distance away from the palace. In the car, Guo Ye specifically asked Liu Zhenxuan to say: "Zhenxuan, depending on the situation, this time this time the Marquis will stay in Tuyuhun for a while. Just remember, if there is any confidential matter in the future, you need to Tell me, you must remember to avoid those servants and maids in the palace, and beware that the walls have ears."

Liu Zhenxuan didn't know why, so he asked in a low voice: "Master Hou, could it be that there are still people who want to harm us in Tuyuhun this time? Hey, the servants and maids in the palace are all arranged by Mrs. Qian from Dongchang. Could it be that she wants... her? What? possible?"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Liu Zhenxuan questioned in an unbelievable tone.

Guo Ye didn't explain too much to him. On the contrary, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said, "Zhenxuan, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, what do you think? Don't ask, anyway, it is better to be careful than to be careless. "

When Liu Zhenxuan heard what Guo Ye said, he probably understood something in his heart, and suddenly exclaimed: "But Lord Hou, when you were talking with Uncle Wang yesterday, your subordinates only guarded the outside of the hall and did not search the inner hall. Looking for someone to eavesdrop. I'm blind, what should I do?"

The corners of Guo Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and he sneered: "People, there must be, but it doesn't matter if someone eavesdrops. I just want to pass some words to Yu Wenqian through her mouth, and I also save a lot of trouble. Woolen cloth."

"Here we need to be on guard against others, and over there we deliberately let people eavesdrop. What do you mean, Lord Hou? It confuses me completely."

"Don't ask, I have my own opinion."

da da da da~

The carriage suddenly stopped at the right time, and a respectful voice came from outside the carriage: "My lord envoy, you have arrived, you can get off the carriage and enter the palace!"

"Well, okay, Zhenxuan, get out of the car, and you follow me into the palace to have a banquet, and see what kind of delicacies are eaten at Tuyuhun's royal palace banquet, and let you also have a tooth-beating sacrifice."

"That's a good relationship, haha, let the subordinates learn a lot!"

After all, Liu Zhenxuan helped Guo Ye get out of the carriage, and there were palace people waiting at the gate of the palace, leading them into the Tuyuhun Palace, and went to have a banquet to meet the new Khan Murongyan.

The Tuyuhun Palace is naturally incomparable with the Chang'an Palace. In Guo Ye's view, although the architectural style and design of the palace were built after imitating the palaces of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is still a bit shabby.

The imperial banquet was held in the government hall of the Tuyuhun Dynasty.

Entering the hall, Guo Ye not only saw the aloof new Khan Murongyan and Princess Yunshang, but also Yu Wenqian and Wang Bodang.Naturally, it was unavoidable that there were also a group of princes and ministers in Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so Guo Ye, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, naturally rose to the top and became a veritable celestial messenger with a detached status.

When paying homage to Murong Yan, the puppet Khan, not only did he not have to bow down and kneel down, but when he took out the imperial edict of His Majesty Li Er, Murong Yan ran off the throne and came down to the hall to receive the edict.

But all the other princes and ministers knelt down to accept the order, and did not dare to entrust it.

After Guo Ye finished reading His Majesty Li Er's imperial decree, he also took out the gift list that His Majesty Li Er asked him to bring over this time.The list of gifts recorded the congratulatory gift that Guo Ye brought to Tuyuhun this time, and it was a gift from His Majesty Li Er to congratulate Murong Yan on successfully succeeding Khan.

Guo Ye noticed that Murong Yan in front of him looked sallow and emaciated, with puffy bags under his eyes. It seems that this puppet Khan is not bad enough.

This ghostly look is a typical symptom of being hollowed out by wine and sex. Most likely, Yu Wenqian either arranged for him to be served by beautiful women like clouds, or was intoxicated all day long.

Self-inflicted crimes, can't live, flies don't bite seamless eggs, it should be!

After he presented the gift list in person and conveyed His Majesty Li Er's congratulatory message and best wishes, Murong Yan timidly looked at Yu Wenqian who was sitting cross-legged at the banquet on the left.

Yu Wenqian stood up with a smile on her face, cupped her hands towards Guo Ye and said, "My Khan has already received the kindness and best wishes from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Please reply to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Tuyuhun Kingdom will naturally last forever." Submitting to the heavenly kingdom, you will always be the subject of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live, long live."

All of a sudden, all the princes and ministers of Tuyuhun stood up and congratulated in the direction of Chang'an: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!"

Guo Ye naturally knew that Yu Wenqian was playing a joke, so he replied in a serious manner: "This Marquis will definitely convey the sincerity of Murongyan Khan and the loyalty of all ministers to His Majesty the Emperor."

"All right!"

Yu Wenqian waved her hand as if she was talking about something, grinning with her purple robe sleeves, and then said to Murong Yan: "Khan, since everything is over, shouldn't you go back to the throne and announce that the emperor Is the banquet already underway? You can’t keep letting the envoys of the Tang Dynasty stand under the hall, can you?”

"Yes yes yes yes~~"

Murong Yan nodded repeatedly and said yes, turned around and hurried up the steps to return to the throne, and then stretched out his hand to ask Guo Ye: "My lord, please take a seat!"

Then, he yelled out of the government hall and shouted: "Play music... dance... open the banquet..."

ding ding dong~

A burst of melodious silk and bamboo orchestras played, chimes rang from time to time, and a group of singers dressed in Tuyuhun's unique national costumes poured into the hall and danced gracefully.

Immediately afterwards, the palace servants carried racks of golden roasted whole lambs and placed them on the wine table for people to share.

Guo Ye sat alone on the case. Apart from a jar of fine wine, there were only a few seemingly sharp daggers on the case. To be precise, they should be table knives.

Because this knife is specially used to cut the whole grilled meat on the rack.

This is different from the Chang'an Imperial Banquet. The regions are different, the customs are different, and the customs are also different, each with its own merits.

All of a sudden, the music played, the dancers danced, and the toasts were frequently made, which seemed like a scene of bells and a feast of food.

As the protagonist of this imperial banquet, Guo Ye naturally couldn't avoid being surrounded by toasts and persuasion.

But it was strange to say that the princes and ministers of Tuyuhun seemed to have a tacit understanding, and frequently toasted Guo Ye alone, as if they wanted to get him drunk before giving up.
