I am reborn to subjugate the country gl

With the sound of rites and music, the whole palace seemed to be in high spirits.

Huo Jinyu took Yan Xi back to the palace, and the two soldiers divided into two groups, one returned to the Longzheng Palace and the other returned to Jinxiang Palace, Huo Jinyu changed into a bright yellow dragon robe, and according to Huo Jinyu's advance preparation, Yan Xi changed into He took out the bright yellow phoenix robe that the maid had prepared long ago.After Yan Xi changed and left Jinxiang Palace, Huo Jinyu had already been waiting at the gate of the palace.

Sylphy Palace.

The sound of ritual and music stopped suddenly, and the female officials who played the music packed up their instruments and exited the main hall in an orderly manner.

The hundreds of officials who had been bustling before suddenly became solemn.That one is coming.

Huo Jinyu met Di'an and Huaying from Yuzhe Palace on the way. Seeing a few people drop by, they also entered the main hall from the side hall.Huo Jinyu came to the first seat and sat down, and the maids on both sides of her hand reserved two seats.Yan Xi sat on the right hand side, Di An sat on the left hand side, Huaying stood behind Di An in palace attire, with her head lowered like an ordinary court lady, unobtrusive at all.

He politely saluted and said hello.After receiving Huo Jinyu's order, they sat down one after another.When the ministers raised their heads and saw the clothes on Yan Xi's body, they were all shocked, Feng Pao!Princess Yan is actually wearing a phoenix robe!You know, since ancient times, only queens who are the mother of a country are eligible to wear phoenix robes!What does this mean, my lord?Could it be that he is taking the opportunity to announce to the world that the queen is none other than Princess Yan?But this Princess Yan has been in the palace for several months, and there is no movement in her stomach, let alone a royal heir, not even a hair, let alone she is just a foreign princess from a small country, how can she be worthy of a phoenix robe!

A few old ministers with a bad temper were about to stand up and speak out, but fortunately, the acquaintance next to them was quick to hold them back, and made a few secret winks. Only then did the veteran ministers remember what day it was today, and they were relieved. Sit down honestly, after all, they will still sell some thin noodles from the Holy One.

Huo Jinyu was sitting in a high position, and she had a clear view of what was going on below. She twitched the corner of her mouth, sneered secretly, and then looked at Huo Jinye who was sitting on the lower right side.The second prince Huo Jinye looked a little unnatural, even a little nervous. After all, it was the first time he personally did such a harmful thing, and he was still unfamiliar.If Huo Jinye's mother and concubine, Concubine Xian, knew his plan, she would definitely stop him in every possible way. After all, to assassinate the emperor at the banquet he was in charge of was probably something only a fool would do.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jinye thought that his subordinates were smart enough to lead this loophole full of loopholes, and he didn't let his mother know about it.

Huo Jinye was already nervous, who would have thought that the Holy Majesty would turn his head to look at him, Huo Jinye was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away to avoid Huo Jinyu's sight.Huo Jinye just turned his head away, and then felt that something was wrong. Isn't this misunderstood that he is pretending to be guilty?So he turned his head stiffly again, met Huo Jinyu's gaze, and showed a slightly stiff smile.

Huo Jinyu looked at him indifferently as if he hadn't noticed anything, then turned his head away.

At this moment, Xuanyi Palace is as quiet as the court that just went to court, and all the ministers are sitting upright, waiting for something with solemn expressions.

At this time in previous years, it was time for the Holy Majesty to give a lecture.The ministers waited quietly. The Holy Majesty's lecture usually took about an hour, but some of them could bear it.

"Today is the annual Heavenly Sacrifice of the Great Yuan Kingdom. Presumably all of you loved ones have let go of the wishing boat sky lanterns. I don't need to talk nonsense anymore. Tonight's Heavenly Sacrifice banquet will officially start. I wish you all loves to eat, drink and have fun. I'm so happy." Huo Jinyu finished speaking, then lifted the wine in the glass and drank it down.

All the ministers felt relieved in their hearts, and they all raised their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.This current Holy Majesty is actually a man of few words, neither too much nor nonsense, without the long speeches of previous years, without all kinds of rhetoric, the ministers are all relaxed, it seems that this Holy Majesty also has a positive side.Many ministers who had been devastated by the Tianji Festival felt grateful in their hearts.

If Huo Jinyu is purely lazy, she doesn't want to waste any more time on such boring things, so she skipped this section. Usually, the emperors would say something to congratulate the Great Yuan Kingdom on its development. Now At that time, Huo Jinyu only wanted to subjugate the country, so how could he have the heart to wish the Great Yuan Kingdom a good development and prosperity?She wished that the whole world could feel the pain she had felt.

After the first link hastily passed, the next step is the link where the ministers give speeches and present gifts.Huo Jinyu rubbed his hands secretly, all the ministers were well-established in their families, and their actions were always extraordinary, especially in a large banquet like the Heavenly Sacrifice Banquet, whoever made a big deal would be honored and favored by the emperor.

In previous years, Prime Minister Bai was the first to present gifts, but this year, Prime Minister Bai killed himself and confiscated his home, so all the good things naturally went into Huo Jinyu's pocket.The position of prime minister was vacant, and Huo Jinyu didn't ask anyone to fill it up, so the gifts started from the ministers.

"I respectfully wish the Great Yuan Kingdom a strong country and a prosperous military, the country's strength will flourish day by day, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe! I got a treasure from the Western Regions earlier, the golden glazed phoenix!" The Minister of Rites stood up first, bowing his head and bowing.Two eunuchs came in carrying an object covered with a red cloth.

Eunuch Wang stepped forward, stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth, revealing a phoenix statue half as tall as a man.The phoenix statue is transparent and spreads its wings high. The tip of the wings and tail feathers are made of pure gold, inlaid in transparent glass. The crown and feathers on the head of the phoenix statue are also gold and silver alternately. A little silver light in the eyes is like the finishing touch. , making the whole phoenix statue come alive, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly from the original place!

Huo Jinyu's eyes lit up, and he had already made a decision on where the phoenix statue should go.Yan Xi's eyes lit up, what a beautiful and temperamental glazed statue!

Minister of the Ministry of Rites stood proudly by the side. He worked so hard to get it. He hurriedly sent it out before warming it up. He personally took care of it all the way to the palace, being careful not to knock this fragile glazed product. broken.

Huo Jinyu nodded in satisfaction, and the prince ordered the two eunuchs to move the phoenix down and send it to Huo Jinyu's Longmian Palace.

Then several other ministers also offered gifts, but they were all well-behaved and failed to catch Huo Jinyu's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, several border generals also offered gifts, some for military merit, some for rare birds and beasts, and some for offering a thousand-mile horse. Huo Jinyu nodded indifferently and ordered the prince to accept it.

The next ones are some ministers with average salaries and family backgrounds and official positions. They just donated some piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings. Most of them are calligraphy and paintings. Although there are also calligraphy and paintings by famous teachers, it is a pity that there are many such things in the palace, so they are not so valuable. up.

It was an hour after all the civil and military officials had offered their gifts.The palace music was played by the ladies, and the highlight of the dinner was coming. Everyone was hungry. After all, the dinner in the palace was incomparable outside the palace. There were countless delicacies in the palace. , the ministers are full of expectations.

The maids arrived elegantly and added new hot dishes.

In the center of the main hall, the dancers danced with their graceful waists, turned their red sleeves, and moved their lotus steps lightly.

The ministers pretended to pick up the dishes in front of them carelessly, and put them into their mouths leisurely, looking dignified and polite, slow and orderly, but they were actually tasting rare delicacies.

Huaying was dressed in palace attire, and served Di An with dishes like an ordinary court lady. Huo Jinyu saw it from the corner of her eye, and took the initiative to put some dishes that she thought were not bad for Yan Xi on the right.

When Yan Xi saw a white hand using chopsticks to take the initiative to pick up vegetables for herself, she was faintly moved, it was these very ordinary little details that made her devote herself to her heart.Folk sayings say that whoever falls in love first loses. Thinking about it, I have already lost a complete defeat.Yan Xi laughed to herself.

The dancers changed from batch to batch, and the female officials from the Yuefu played various musical instruments.

Huo Jinyu frowned slightly, wondering at what stage the second prince Huo Jinye was "laying the groundwork".She stretched out her hand and shook the saber hidden by the chair in front of the table in advance, but she didn't panic at all in her heart. She has been emperor for dozens of years and has experienced life and death. The second prince is immature What's the point of making a fuss?At worst, it was just a little flesh injury.

Yan Xi saw Huo Jinyu's actions with sharp eyes. She was also someone who had experienced royal struggles. She knew what the emperor carrying a sword to the banquet represented, she knew in her heart.Tonight's banquet may not be peaceful.Yan Xi suppressed the thoughts in her heart, restrained herself, and did not make unnecessary moves.

The second prince watched the movement on the stage from the corner of his eye. Seeing that the first person was doing as usual, he didn't seem to find anything wrong. After calming down a little, he raised his head and looked at the opposite General Hou, who happened to also look up. At first, the two gave each other winks, and seeing Huo Jinye hesitated, General Hou gave him an encouraging look.

This year's Tianji Banquet seems to be different from previous years. Even the dancers' clothes are in the same color. The dancers have always worn the same set of clothes, and they haven't changed.Huo Jinye also considered the timing of the assassination. In order not to miss the opportunity, those dancers disguised as assassins needed to play every time.The assassins danced for an hour, and their feet were almost weak. If it weren't for the rich bounty, they wouldn't even want to do it.until now!The employer didn't even give them a secret order to assassinate them!In order to pretend to be women, they were forced to put on makeup and learn how to dance for a long time!

Seeing that the dance beauty was about to end, Huo Jinye squinted his eyes, and finally made up his mind to act!He picked up the wine glass, raised his head to take a sip of the wine, put down the wine glass, and knocked slowly on the table three times. The people around him didn't notice the actions of the second prince Huo Jinye, but kept paying attention to Huo Jinye's actions. An assassin saw it, and this was the secret signal they had negotiated before.

At the end of a dance, the dancers lined up in a circle. The three dancers in the front row suddenly stretched their hands to their chests. Several ministers who had been watching the dance saw this movement, and a trace of doubt quickly flashed in their minds. At the next moment, the three dancers tore up their clothes, leaked out their black outfits and rushed to the stage!
