Chapter 73 Banquet

Zhu Qizhen asked: "Has the messenger of Waci mentioned this before that Waci wants to get the princess?"

Hu Xi said respectfully: "The envoy of Wa Ci said it, but I thought it was absolutely impossible, so I immediately rejected it, but I didn't want Wa Ci to be so mad."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Wazi is a serious problem for our court. Today, my words will be spread to the grassland by Mr. Hu. There are also envoys from Tuotuobuhua? Why not? There are also Japanese envoys?"

Hu Xi said: "Tuotuo Buhua did not have an envoy to come to Beijing. As for the Japanese envoy, because of the Japanese pirates, there is no communication between our dynasty and Japan."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and seemed to understand something and said: "In any case, the Empress Dowager has told us that we must do it as soon as possible to alienate the Mongolian monarchs and ministers."

Hu Hui is such a smart person. He grasped the key points instantly.

Did the Empress Dowager explain the estrangement between the emperor and his ministers? Hu Hu secretly said: "This matter must be done by Yang Rong." For a while, he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Rong.

After all, this matter actually has something to do with the Ministry of Rites.

However, he immediately felt something in his heart and said to himself: "Your Majesty, I really don't know who the Empress Dowager has entrusted this matter to?" Hu Xi thought to himself: "Your Majesty is quite clever."

"After I go down, I will definitely supervise Mr. Yang Rongyang." Hu Hui said.

Zhu Qizhen laughed in his heart and said to himself: "These little tricks are completely ineffective against these old foxes."

Zhu Qizhen also studied his five auxiliary ministers.

There is a group of people behind the five people. It seems that Sanyang is a whole, but in fact the relationship between Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong is not too harmonious.

Hu Xi was a close confidant of Emperor Taizong. When he was looking for Emperor Jianwen, it was Hu Xi who handled the matter. Emperor Taizong asked Hu Xi to handle such a secret matter, which shows how much trust he had.

The relationship between Hu Hui and Yang Shiqi is not very harmonious. As for Yang Pu, he is less senior than Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi. He has always been in the last place and seems to be a little transparent.

Needless to say, Zhang Fu is followed by Xungui.

Together, these five people can be said to be the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen naturally asked the five ministers not to be so harmonious. If they were too harmonious, then where would the emperor be placed? If something happened, it would be a surprise. As for whether it would succeed or not, that was another matter.

Hu Bi saw that the sky was almost dark and the banquet was about to begin, so she left immediately.

Although this kind of banquet was hosted by Guanglu Temple, Hu Hui was the Minister of Rites after all, so something went wrong especially in the morning.

Wait until Hu Xi leaves.

Zhu Qizhen ate something quickly because he would not be able to eat once the banquet started.

After a while, Wang Zhen came over and said, "Master, the auspicious time has come."

Zhu Qizhen changed his clothes and entered Fengtianmen amidst a burst of solemn music. This time the banquet was held here.

Officials of fourth rank and above, as well as lords of all levels, are on the tower, while the other officials are in the open air.

This banquet has an ancient meaning, with separate meals. There is an imperial table in front of Zhu Qizhen, with all kinds of delicacies on it, many of which are rarely seen in Zhu Qizhen.

If the emperor wants to enjoy, he will have the ultimate enjoyment.

It's just that ancient times are not as good as later generations. Many of them are not industrially produced, and many ingredients are quite rare. Zhu Qizhen is not commonly used.

In addition, the Empress Dowager asked Zhu Qizhen to think about cultivating virtue at all times. Two words.

For the emperor, what is virtue? All he has to do is read the deeds of the Mingjuns of the past dynasties.

Something that is not rare, but flashy, not extravagant and wasteful, etc.

Zhu Qizhen complied with it one by one.

Therefore, I am quite restrained in my desire for words.

Zhu Qizhen has meat in every meal, but only three or five home-cooked dishes, and he has never seen more.

Now that the plates of delicious food were in front of him, Zhu Qizhen became a little greedy.

But no matter how greedy I am, I can't even move my chopsticks.

You have to follow the music.

Listening to the music, when it was time to raise a glass, when to move the chopsticks, at any time, a eunuch and a maid came forward to remove the delicacies that Zhu Qizhen had not touched for a few chopsticks, and then new dishes were served.

For a moment, Zhu Qizhen felt hungry.

Very very hungry.

You can see it, but you can't eat it.

You must also raise your glass to the music.

However, Zhu Qizhen is pretty good.

After all, Zhu Qizhen is the emperor.

The ceremonial officer also turned a blind eye to the emperor. But the officials below were much more miserable. When the music stopped, someone immediately took care of him, reported the matter together, said auspicious words, and raised their glasses to the top of the Fengtian Gate Tower.

In the weather of the first month, I couldn't even drink a sip of hot wine.

Don't be rude yet.

The only thing that can be seen is the dance music that follows the music in front of Fengtian City Tower.

At this time, you may think that it would be good to watch some young ladies perform.

On the contrary, most of these dances are performed by men.

This kind of dance music has a great meaning of rectification, and it is definitely not the kind of dance you imagine for young ladies to show off their figures. For example, the dance to pacify the world is similar to the music of King Qin breaking the formation.

They were 8,864 big men, wearing armor and holding swords, dancing.

From Zhu Qizhen's point of view, it is quite ugly.

It’s not that there are no great dancers in the world anymore.

Most of this dance music was set by Zhu Yuanzhang. It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's aesthetic vision like an old farmer is completely different from the vision of Zhu Qizhen's later generations who had been devastated by the Spring Festival Gala.

Finally, when Zhu Qizhen's stomach began to beat, the feast was finally over.

Everyone retreats.

But it doesn’t mean that Zhu Qizhen’s activities this year are over.

There is still a lot to do in Zhuqi Town this year.

Next up is the third day of the first lunar month, the death anniversary of Emperor Xuanzong.

There are also big things to do in the palace.

Although the emperor replaced the moon with the sun and observed mourning for twenty-seven days, he replaced the mourning for twenty-seven months.

In fact, today, Emperor Xuanzong's last legacy, the reign name, has also gone with him. From today on, the Ming Dynasty has entered the orthodox period.

At this time, what Zhu Qizhen did at the imperial meeting also spread throughout the world.

In particular, Zhu Qizhen's words of reprimanding the messenger of Wasi were made known to everyone in the world. Although today's young master is still young, he is very talented.

For a time, Zhu Qizhen also gained many supporters outside the palace.

After entering the first month, the weather is getting warmer day by day.

In the capital city, there is all kinds of excitement.

First is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Various lanterns outside the palace are extremely beautiful. Standing on the tower of the Forbidden City, Zhu Qizhen could see the bustling crowds and lanterns outside at night.

Naturally I want to go see it.

Although there are lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere in the palace, and the various lanterns are much more beautiful than those outside, in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, they are a little less human.

It is said that the most lively event in the capital is the Yanjiu Temple Fair.

Legend has it that Qiu Chuji was born on the 19th day of the first lunar month, and the 19th day of the first lunar month is the most lively temple fair in Beijing. At this time every year, people in the capital go to Baiyun Temple. Legend has it that there are huge crowds of people and it is a spectacular sight.

However, regarding Zhu Qizhen's idea, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager agreed that it was absolutely not allowed. Moreover, they both reprimanded Zhu Qizhen respectively.

If Zhu Qizhen wants to go out with a guard of honor, and if thousands of people put the guard of honor somewhere, it will be safe. Can the people still celebrate the festival?

Who dares to take to the streets?

But going on patrol incognito is something you don't even think about.

This kind of place where people are mixed is the most likely to cause problems. In the Song Dynasty, a princess was photographed away during the Lantern Festival.

Once Zhu Qizhen has three advantages and two disadvantages, it will be a huge disaster for the royal family and the world.

No matter what, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager would not allow Zhu Qizhen to do this.

Facts have proved that most of the incognito private interviews in various novels and TV shows are nonsense. Before Zhu Qizhen reached adulthood, he might not be able to go out to this square Forbidden City once, let alone other things.

So Zhu Qizhen could only stand on tiptoe on the city wall and watch the excitement.

It's just that there is a palace outside the Forbidden City. There is nothing visible on the walls of the Forbidden City, just a ray of light.

Zhu Qizhen sighed softly and said, "Let's go."
