"Everyone in Fengcheng knows how unfilial you bastard was before."
Mr. Wang's accusation made Wang Jing smile awkwardly. After all, his previous reputation was not very good, so he hastily changed the topic:
"Father, the dishes at this state banquet are indeed the best in the world, but it would be even better if they were hot."
"Don't say a few words, kid, it's already a great honor for His Majesty to invite you."
Mr. Wang turned his head and stared lightly, then said angrily:
"There are so many banquet guests in the Mingde Palace, the imperial dining room must prepare all the dishes in advance. The temperature in Shenjing City is freezing. It is already a great skill to keep the dishes hot. Let's be human. , You must know how to be grateful and content.”
Mr. Wang's words were serious. All fathers hoped that their son would become better, and he was also afraid that Wang Jing would be proud and complacent.
"Father, I know. Looking at His Majesty's age and what he has done, no young man can feel proud."
Mr. Wang nodded, looked at Zhao Yu above who was serving rouge and vegetables beside him, nodded deeply and said:
"Indeed, although I already knew that His Majesty is very young, but I was lucky enough to see him, and found that he is younger and more dignified than expected."
While Wang's father and son were communicating, Wang Jing's mother on the side secretly wiped away the tears overflowing from the corner of her eyes, and patted the back of Wan'er's hand before showing a big smile.
In fact, it is not uncommon to wipe tears at the royal private banquet. Too many people burst into tears because of emotional agitation, but there are not many people who burst into tears like Mr. Wu in Qingsong Town. Mr. Wu was probably a hot-blooded man when he was young. The young man buried his head under the desk at this time, weeping uncontrollably.
Fortunately, a few people separated from Lin Xiao when they entered the arena, and were led by Tie Zhu to the end of the hall, so they were not noticeable at this time. You must know the location of Zhenyu Gongfu, but why is it in the front row? Under the eyes of the living emperor, once he burst into tears, he would be the focus of the audience.
Time passed, and the private banquet was going on slowly. After Zhao Yu said some jokes, everyone in the hall gradually relaxed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Afterwards, the old lady who kept silent and occasionally coughed a few times, Opening his mouth gently, the old voice resounded throughout the hall:
"Everyone, the old man has been in poor health recently, so he covered his face with a veil, so as not to disturb you, please forgive me, I will say a few words next, and I am going to go back to rest."
After the old lady finished speaking, she coughed violently. Zhao Yu stood up, came to the old man's side, stroked the former's back, injected the pure original power, and then the old lady's voice came out again:
"I am an old man named Xiuyu, who received the grace of heaven and earth, married the great ancestor, and became the mother of the Great Xia. Every year since then, I will sit here, without missing a single person. Up to today, it has been a full 89 years!"
After the old lady finished speaking, everyone in the audience stopped what they were doing, then straightened up and bowed respectfully to the front. This is silent and most noble to the mother of a country who has guarded Daxia for 89 years tribute.
No matter what Great Xia has experienced, the unparalleled prosperity at the founding of the country, the ZTE when the prince Zhao Jing was in power, the rebellion of the Yunyan clan, the scars and holes when the foreign race besieged the city of Shenjing, or the hard work and forbearance of the development of Princess Wu, and now Emperor Fuyao's accumulation is unstoppable. In every era, she will sit here at the end of the year and look at the pillars of the Great Xia below with a smile.
Never absent!
The time when Da Xia developed to the present is the life of the old lady.
Chapter 0648 last words and toast
No matter in what era, a person who has dedicated his life to one thing is worthy of respect, not to mention that after the disappearance of the Taizu Shengshang, the old queen has been turned into a pillar of the sky, supporting the entire precarious human dynasty. .
Therefore, when the old man spoke at No.80's nine-year royal private banquet, everyone looked solemn and extremely respectful.
Since the beginning of the banquet, it has been extremely difficult for the old lady who is undergoing the most painful catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man, but her sitting body is still as stable as the Kunlun Mountains, without the slightest trembling, and her voice is old. , but she has a penetrating power that directly reaches people's hearts. As the mother of the Great Xia, she has indeed cultivated the dignity of the royal family to the extreme.
Then, under the gaze of a pair of respectful eyes, the old lady continued to speak, as if an elder in the family was talking about family matters after dinner:
"As for me, I am older than everyone present, including Xu Sheng, I have to call my elder sister, so I am your elder. Tonight, I will treat you as an elder. Let me say a few words, not as the Great Empress Dowager."
After the old man's words fell, everyone below bowed forward again, and a uniform voice sounded in Mingde Hall:
"We, please listen to your mother's instruction!"
"Teaching is not something to talk about, it's just a chat as a person who has experienced it."
The old lady stretched out her right hand and waved it, then took a deep breath, and continued to speak:
"I know that this time because of the convenience of teleportation, there are many people attending the private banquet, and they are all in one place. This makes me very relieved, because it is obvious that Daxia is in Yu'er's hands and is undergoing rapid changes. Among you , old and young.
"The old ones have devoted almost half of their lives to Daxia, such as the three kings and one prince, and the veterans in the cabinet. For you old people, I, my palace, I would like to advise you to wait a few points. The first is to know how to do what you can If you want to be old, you can no longer stay on for several nights without rest. If you want to see with your own eyes how many heavens Daxia, the soaring phoenix of the nine heavens, can fly to, you have to think about how to make yourself Live longer, otherwise it will be just a day into the ground, maybe tomorrow, Daxia will take a big leap forward, and I won't be able to see it by then, and my intestines will regret it."
As soon as this remark came out, some elderly people below couldn't help showing some smiles, but in these laughter, there was a sense of embarrassment. The older you are, the deeper your understanding of life and death. , once again echoed the old voice of the old lady:
"There is also the second, that is to go home more and enjoy the family happiness. When you are your age, time will count backwards. Therefore, I hope that you will have something to depend on when you grow old, and have children and grandchildren to accompany you. This is not the case. Seems lonely."
The old lady's heartfelt words undoubtedly touched the hearts of the elderly present, and they bowed again, because only the elderly can understand the elderly and empathize with them.
Zhao Yu was holding the old lady's hands, and he could feel that the old man's hands were as cold as ice, so he leaned down and asked softly in the latter's ear if he wanted to go back to rest, but the old man shook his head slightly, After calming down a bit, he continued to speak to the bottom:
"I just listened to your conversation, and I know that among you, there are many young people who are full of vigor and vitality. They have become the pillars of the Great Xia at such a young age. While I am very happy, I also have a few words to offer.
"Since ancient times, life has been a practice. No matter how talented you are, remember to keep your heart in mind. In fact, the so-called bones are not the bones in your body, but the bones in your heart. It will pass, but the mistakes made will accumulate, so don't do good because it is small, and don't do evil because it is small.
"You are the future of Daxia, and this palace is full of infinite light for Daxia's future!"
After the words fell, under the incredible eyes of everyone, the old lady raised her hand slightly, bowed forward, and then her solemn voice continued to resound throughout the hall:
"The future of Daxia, I am here to ask you all, and my grandson Yu'er, I also ask you all!"
At this moment, she is no longer the mother of a country in Daxia, but a veiled, but despondent, gray-haired old man, to her grandson and herself to protect the country for the rest of her life.
Whether it's Da Xia, who is still young in founding a country, or Zhao Yu, who is extremely young, they are all children she can't worry about!
All the people present were intelligent and outstanding people from the Great Xia, and there were even monks with extremely strong cultivation bases. Naturally, they could feel the meaning of the old man above, so they all looked sad and knelt down, and some old officials burst into tears and wailed endlessly.
"This palace is just expressing some complaints out of the blue. Wake up quickly. The new year is approaching. For the private banquet, you should be happy. This palace is here to make decisions for His Majesty. This year The imperial gifts given to you by the White Emperor Palace will be doubled."
After finishing speaking, the old lady reached out and patted the back of Zhao Yu's hand, and then slowly left the Mingde Hall with the support of the middle-aged maid. They knew that maybe this was the last time they saw the Mother of Great Xia.
After a long time, Zhao Yu returned to his desk, looked down at the Mingde Hall kneeling on the ground again, got up lightly and knocked on the desk in front of him, and then the calm Diyin rolled out:
"Get up, fill up with wine, and drink with me."
After Diyin finished, everyone below got up and filled the cups in front of them, then Zhao Yu raised the cup first, and said loudly:
"The end of the year is approaching, and it's the end of the year. I'm on the throne for the first time. For this cup, I respect all of you for your support."
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Afterwards, everyone below drank the wine in their glasses and responded at the same time:
"Your Majesty's will, we will go through fire and water, and we will not hesitate, and the glory of the Great Xia will be immortal."
After Rouge filled the wine glass in front of Zhao Yu again, Zhao Yu continued to raise it in the air, and the sound of rolling emperor continued to resound in the hall:
"This second cup of wine is to pay respect to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. Their heroic souls will never die. At the same time, I also pay respect to Lin Lang, Marquis of Zhen Yu. Great Xia will never forget it, and neither will the human race!"
"Being a hero in life, and a hero in death, respect loyalty!"
Surrounded by uniform high-pitched shouts, the monarchs and ministers once again drank the wine in their glasses together, and then the young emperor raised the last glass of wine for today's private banquet. Third glass of wine.
In the next breath, Zhao Yuhuang Huangdi's voice directly rang out in the void:
"This third glass of wine, I wish you a prosperous year ahead, a safe country and an invincible country, and the glory of the Great Summer!"
"Regard the coming year with good weather and good weather, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and we are invincible!
"Great Summer Glory!"
Chapter 0649 Aftermath
no party last forever.
As time passed, the crescent moon rose, and the time was approaching Haishi, and the invited banquet guests in Mingde Hall gradually stepped out of the hall, with different expressions.
Since it was a royal private banquet, the wine and food were naturally the best in the world, so most people's faces were purple after drinking. With the support of their family members, they walked out of the palace and were blown by the cold wind in the deep winter of Shenjing City. Immediately, he became alert, and then shook his head, his eyes cleared up a lot.
In an important place in the royal family, no matter how addicted to alcohol they are on weekdays, the people attending the banquet dare not really get drunk. If they get drunk in Baidi Palace, they will go crazy under the watchful eyes of the public. It is not allowed to go to the capital tomorrow, and even the whole of Daxia will talk about it.
In fact, after toasting three glasses of wine, Zhao Yu left with rouge, and the rest was a private banquet that really belonged to these pillars of the summer. It is rare for people from all over the world to get together, so naturally a few pleasantries and friendship are indispensable. Sigh.
It is worth mentioning that when Peng Mu, the current captain of the Yulong Guandunshan Army of Wuwushan Mountain, reunited with Tie Zhu, the former captain of the team, the two of them who had always shown their calm and cold faces turned their backs to wipe their tears, while the former Kneel down and say sorry.
Because of the three pig, cow and sheep brothers in the team, Zhang Niu left his life forever in the cold dark river at the bottom of the Nanban jungle.
This private banquet seemed to condense the joy and tears of a whole year. It was the end of a year and a new beginning.
The Daxia people have valued etiquette since ancient times, and this etiquette is most obvious in the communication between people. As far as the banquet is concerned, although it is a private banquet, there are not so many rules, but there are customary customs for entering and exiting the venue .
When entering the arena, those with high status are given priority, and once it is time to leave, these people will be the last to leave. Therefore, when the six ministers leave, the Mingde Hall is almost empty.
The leaders of the Six Departments of the Great Xia, except for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who is an old man who is dedicated to research and outspoken, the rest are still in their forties. In the position of Shangshu, they are already extremely young. He was a little withdrawn among them, but recently the Ministry of Punishment was supported by Zhao Yu, and his power had increased greatly, so this Fang Shangshu's words were much more than before.
There are two sons and one daughter in Fangqian, they brought them here for the private banquet today, the group of people walked out of the hall, saw You Tingjian, who was very alone with only his wife in front of him, couldn't help speeding up his pace, came to the latter, and said slowly:
"I said Lao You, it's almost New Year's Eve, your precious girl, haven't you found her yet?"
The matter of You Rui'er running away from home is a thorn in You Ting's heart during this period of time, especially when trying to find traces, the clues will be cut off very strangely, which even makes the Minister of Rites begin to suspect that there is something wrong inside him. There was eyeliner left by her daughter, seeing which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted by the minister of punishment, You Tingjian snorted coldly, his elegant face was very ugly, and said coldly:
"Why did Fang Qian bring his children to show off to the old man?"
"How dare you dare!"
Fang Qian hurriedly waved his hands, then walked side by side with You Tingjian, and said:
"Isn't this deeply moved after hearing what the Empress Dowager said, and wanted to help you?"
As soon as this remark came out, You Tingjian's eyes lit up, and he blurted out:
"I almost forgot that the Department of Transmission is now under the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The old man has been searching for so long in Shenjing City. Could it be that this girl has gone to other states? No, hurry up and show me tomorrow. Is she right?" Ran!"
Looking at the gnashing of teeth on the face of the minister of punishment, Fang Qian twitched his mouth, and then said with a smile:
"I said, Lao You, don't forget, after the private banquet, we are now on the ten-day holiday of the first day, and I won't go to the yamen tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Fang Qian moved his head closer to the Minister of Rites beside him, lowered his voice and continued to speak:
"I came to you today, and there is one more thing. You know that my Ministry of Criminal Affairs has the most contacts with people in Gyeonggi Prefecture, but recently I heard that Master Yinshan of Gyeonggi Prefecture has not been on duty for a long time. You have always been with him on weekdays." Good luck, do you know what's going on?"
Hearing Fang Qian talking about Shan Wenbai, You Tingjian's face gradually became solemn, and then he slowly responded:
"Before, he was infected with a severe cold, and he finally got better. However, the news of his son's rebellion during the Nanban War came one after another, and he couldn't get sick. I went to see it several times, but was turned away. , and even if His Majesty doesn't pursue it, he still approved his long vacation, and until the truth about his son comes to light, in order to avoid suspicion, he should not appear in Gyeonggi Prefecture."
"No matter how you look at this matter, it reveals something strange."
"I think so too, but this is a headache for His Majesty and Si Tianjian. I hope Lao Shan can survive this calamity."
You Tingjian sighed, then pulled his wife into the carriage of Shangshufu, the carriage started slowly, and inside the carriage, You Tingjian was lost in thought, after a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at the lady in front of him who had dodgy eyes, faintly Opened the mouth and said:
"Madam, tell me the truth, did you disclose the news to Rui'er?"
As soon as this question was asked, Mrs. You on the opposite side hesitated and couldn't speak, then You Tingjian sighed and said:
"Confused, ma'am, with Rui'er's character, you can't be sure that something will happen if you stay outside. I know you are still in touch and let her go home during the Chinese New Year. I can let go of the past. The old man's patience is limited."
"My lord, it's not because of you. After you made a fuss about finding a girl, everyone in Shenjing now only thinks that my daughter is a hot-tempered girl. How can you let Rui'er get married in the future!"
Mrs. You rolled her eyes at You Tingjian who was opposite, and spoke angrily. Then the latter sighed again, and said again:
"Do you think I'm willing to do this? The old man was forced to do so because of my daughter. Before Rui'er and the kid from Brother Shan's family, although the two didn't agree to it themselves, people outside thought it was an engagement. Now Shanzi is out. I don't want our daughter to be dragged out of this matter. You don't know. Now His Majesty has a lot of those who speculate and spread rumors that I have something to do with his rebellion. Ruier's influence."
No matter it is Great Xia at this time or any dynasty of the human race, betrayal is a serious crime, so You Tingjian's tone reveals deep helplessness.
But in the middle of Shenjing City, even in a big house not far from Zizhu Lane, the girl You Rui'er in green clothes didn't feel his father's troubles, but crept up to Sima Annan in the room, but she couldn't see Seeing that the latter is bowing his head, packing up the soft cloth, wrapping it in cloth, and tying it hard.
Behind Sima Annan, the young girl You Rui'er saw this, her face was a little flustered, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of the former's clothes, and asked eagerly:
"Stinky fortune teller, why are you packing up and running away?"
Chapter 0650
"I said Miss You, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. I didn't steal, rob, or cheat the girl's feelings. He is a law-abiding Daxia citizen. Why did you run away?"
"Then why are you packing your bags for the big night?"
Sima Annan was in the big mansion bought with a lot of money in Shenjing City. He had just returned from the banquet in Mingde Palace. Sima Annan, who was still fluttering in white clothes, turned around and looked at the girl in green clothes who was frightened by her actions behind him, with a smile on his face. With a little playfulness, he opened his mouth and responded:
"It's New Year's Eve, my son is naturally going back to his hometown, my parents are still alive, if I don't come back during the New Year, I will definitely be buried."
After Sima Annan's clear voice fell, You Rui'er faltered and couldn't speak, because in the customs of the human race, this New Year's Day is the day of reunion, and she can't hold the former and prevent him from going home During the Chinese New Year, the delicate facial features are wrinkled into a ball, which is really cute.
"Get out of the way if you know it, don't hinder my work."
Sima Annan waved his hand to ask the girl in green to step aside, then turned his head and continued to pack up the things, but he didn't have many things to take away. It is worth mentioning that there were more than ten identical white clothes in his backpack. Folding fan, no wonder no matter where he goes, this guy's folding fan will always appear in his hands.
After some conversation, You Rui'er unexpectedly stood aside and watched quietly. Seeing that Sima Annan was about to finish packing, she asked:
"Fortune teller, where is your hometown?"
Sima Annan turned his head, spit out a sentence in response with some surprise:
"Southeast Jiangling City!"
"I know about Jiangling City. My mother's favorite Jinyan branch comes from Jiangling City. It is said that it is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It is extremely prosperous, especially during the Chinese New Year. It must be as lively as Shenjing City."
As soon as You Rui'er came up, she praised Jiangling City, which made Sima Annan's heart skip a beat. Sure enough, after a few breaths, the girl in green put her hands behind her back, and continued to speak coyly:
"Jiangling City, I want to go too!"
As soon as this remark came out, Sima Annan was so frightened that he even forgot to swing the folding fan in his hand, subconsciously took a step back, and blurted out:
