The biggest change in this year's Royal Palace Banquet is that the King of Pingnan is the chief throne. Many people have seen something from it. Before the banquet has been watched, some people have come forward to show goodwill, and many relatives have come to say hello.

Li Xingzhou responded to the situation at once, talking to Shiyu beside him.

The eunuchs and palace maids were busy delivering food to them, and they were commanding a little eunuch with a little lame feet. Although he tried his best to cover it up, he could still see it.

He was probably the right-hand assistant of Fu'an, otherwise he would not have been allowed to show up in such a scene.

The little eunuch directed everyone to serve food, drink, light the lamp, and then bowed respectfully to him before leaving.

Li Xingzhou wondered why this little eunuch seemed to respect him very much.

After a while, the queen and the emperor came.

As soon as the emperor came out, the voice in the hall became much smaller and the palace banquet began.

The emperor first asked him why he hadn't arrived at the Meridian Gate to offer prisoners, and it seemed to be accusing.

Li Xingzhou just replied that he had gone home, and the emperor did not pursue the matter anymore.

The offer of prisoners at the Meridian Gate has been a matter of promoting national prestige since ancient times. The general who went out to win presented the prisoners to the emperor in front of the Meridian Gate, and the people watched.

Such prisoners were very spectacular during the Han Dynasty. Because there were tens of thousands of prisoners and tens of thousands of animals, when the famous general Su Lie of the Tang Dynasty developed to the peak, others were all prisoners, but they fought all their lives in battles. Su Dingfang Buzhi offered prisoners and offered three kings to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, all of which were captured alive.

Later, Gao Xianzhi, although his character was not very good, just for his military merits, slandered that the two small countries in Central Asia would rebel, then defeated the people, and then defeated the coalition forces in the region to counterattack and presented the two kings to Chang'an.

These are all famous prisoners. Li Xingzhou is not able to show off. The heads of the Jade-faced Fox and the brothers of the Xiongzhai are sealed in a wooden box. The living black leopard has been escorted to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation after the New Year.

Of course, offering prisoners is just a ritual, exciting use. As for prisoners, he has its own uses.

The palace banquet began like this, and Shiyu quickly got used to this atmosphere. In fact, although it was different from family meals, it was not much different. The biggest difference was that there were too many people, and the tail seat and the head seat were absolutely indescribable. This was the cruelty of the royal family.

During the banquet, the younger generation came out to recite poems, sing and dance, show their skills, and show themselves in front of the emperor's grandfather and the queen's grandmother.

Perhaps he is older, he prefers children. The serious emperor is rarely happy. Every time he comes out, he has to praise him a few words and then give something.

The royal children received aristocratic education. Many children had high literary cultivation and were proficient in poetry, lyrics, songs, and Li Xingzhou felt ashamed to hear it.

The little cousin over there said, "There are new year's Eve, and the New Year is coming to the Yuan Dynasty." Here, there were dissatisfied children: "The wind and frost of heaven and earth are over, the weather is harmonious. The new years are added to the past, and the old mountains and rivers are filled with spring."

Children say one by one, and adults are full of pride, Li Xingzhou is confused and embarrassed, and he can't interrupt the conversation between cultural people. It is really terrible to have no culture.

Shiyu seemed to see his embarrassment and laughed in a low voice: "Aren't you a talented man? Why don't you speak anymore?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and whispered: "I am a talented person, so I can see who to write for you. If you listen to me every night, I can write one for you every night, how about it."

Shiyu quietly pinched him and quickly avoided his aggressive gaze, "There is nothing serious in his mind." Shiyu complained.

Li Xingzhou quietly reached under the table and grabbed her little hand, "I will accompany you back to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law in two days."

"What kind of father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"Your parents, you definitely didn't tell them." Li Xingzhou shook his head. Shiyu was such a contradictory person, confident, strong, and inferior.

This is not psychologically contradictory.

"No, it's not a big deal." She said lightly, wanting to expose the matter.

"Why isn't it a big deal?" Li Xingzhou refused to give in and pinched her hands tightly: "There is no reason why the son-in-law didn't see his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Besides, we are a family. I am your family, and you also want to be my family."

"But you...you are not a simple son-in-law, you are still..." She stopped at this point.

Li Xingzhou shook his head and leaned into her ear and whispered: "No matter what I am, I will make you the queen if I become the emperor in the future."

"You... are you talking nonsense." Shiyu was a little panicked: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"It's nothing, I just thought about it..." Li Xingzhou said, picking up the fruit wine on the table and drinking it all. The wine is still from the royal palace, and it is now sold to the palace.

When he was in Jiangzhou, Wei Yubai reminded him with a word "at within reach" that, yes, it is indeed within reach. He didn't know why he had reached such a position without realizing it. But when he thought about it carefully, it was probably because of the prince's stupidity that pushed him to such a height.

In addition, today, the emperor arranged him in the first seat, where the prince used to sit here...

This means that even if Li Xingzhou is stupid, he should understand, and the emperor may be hinting at him.

In fact, at this point, he also understood that he had no choice. Even if he wanted to stop, his hands behind him would push him forward. Degong, He Zhao, Mao Luan, Di Zhi, Yan Shen, Bao Zheng, Shen Lin, Wang Tong, Tang Zhouwei, everyone in the royal palace, etc....

In the past, he wanted to escape and avoid it, because it was too tiring and heavy. The population of Jingguo was at least tens of millions, and he could not even dare to think about it before.

Now that things have come, he can't help but avoid it.

Not only because someone does not allow it, but also because if he retreats, the prince will come out again. Now the prince is afraid of a deep hatred for him. After so many open and secret struggles, he will never die.

If there is no way out, then face it happily, so he would say that.

Poetry is the best choice in his mind. Although the old school and new school in the court are not clearly distinguished, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old school is headed by Duke De and holds great power, and no one can compare with the emperor.

The new school was originally led by He Zhao and Yu Cheng'an. Now that Yu Cheng'an has fallen, only He Zhao is left. The new school is not as powerful as the old school, but its potential is extremely huge.

If one day, if he really ascends the throne, he must weigh this issue.

Gillian is the granddaughter of Degong, and He Qian is He Zhao's daughter. They may not know that He Qian is careless and dances with swords all day long. Gillian's romanticism makes her choose a name for her to be kept in history and face the present, and she will definitely choose a name for her to be kept in history.

But their identities are destined to be involved in the political vortex. If Gillian is the queen, the old school becomes bigger, He Qian is the queen, and the new school becomes bigger. Poetry is the queen, offending the two schools and suppressing the two schools will also put her in a disadvantage.

He had never thought about these problems before, but now he had to think that if things were extreme, he could rely on poetry, a powerful girl with confidence and inferiority.

Thinking of it, he held the little girl's hand tightly.

.........

"Mr. Fang..." In the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, Sun Huan burst into tears and cried silently. He was wearing heavy shackles on his feet.

Mr. Fang was also in tears. The prince's fault finally fell on Sun Huan. On New Year's Eve today, for the sake of the prince's mansion, he was allowed to return to the prince's mansion for a long time, and the officials from the Censorate were waiting outside the door.

Mr. Fang felt sad. He was just a young man who avoided the disaster of war. He studied hard in the exam and stayed in the prince's mansion to avoid the war in the border area. He thought that this would avoid the disaster of war, but the man's plan was not as good as God's plan, but instead ruined him...

After the Chinese New Year, he will be sent to the states and out of the country, and will die for a lifetime.

Mr. Fang ordered his servants to prepare wine and food, but the servants didn't want to pay attention to him. He had no choice but to use his meager savings to prepare wine and food for him.

Looking at Sun Huan who was too thin when sitting opposite him, Mr. Fang said, "The prince has done his best."

"I know, Mr. Fang, I know..." Sun Huan said, lowering his head and crying.

Mr. Fang was even more miserable and said in his heart: You don’t know, but you’d better not know...

The prince was overjoyed when he heard that someone had been punished for him. Then he learned that he was confined and fell into anger. He cursed Prince Xiao and King Pingnan every day and night, but from beginning to end, there was no mention of Sun Huan, who had punished him and did so many things for him.

Mr. Fang thought it would be better not to let him know about these things, at least he would be better off when he left.

The prince has become more and more crazy these days, drinking all day long, and keeping away from King Xiao for three words. That is his lingering knot.

Mr. Fang didn't want to see him, and he began to understand in his heart that maybe it was time for him to leave. On New Year's Eve, the emperor didn't announce the prince's attending the family dinner, and the meaning was very clear...

This is to ask the prince not to block the way. Mr. Fang smiled bitterly, but the prince would not understand. He was still asking for the emperor and trying to send people out to pass the message.

He comforted Sun Huan a few words and said goodbye with him. No one cared about him in the entire prince's mansion.

Finally, Sun Huan was taken away by the Censorate officials while crying. Mr. Fang was exhausted and silently returned to the courtyard and put away the "Memorial of the Departure" hanging on the wall. Perhaps he was really old and incompetent and wise, which led to the prince's repeated setbacks.

It's time for him to leave...

Mr. Fang understood that the prince's mansion could no longer tolerate him.

He packed up his things, but only some books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and even bedding and mattresses were all things from the Prince's Mansion.

Mr. Fang is going to leave in a few days. As for where to go, he doesn't know. Maybe he will meet the prince again before leaving...

Thinking of this, he got up and walked towards the prince's courtyard.

As soon as I arrived outside the courtyard, I heard the prince cursing inside.

"That evil wolf ambition! The wolf ambition, can't my father see it? If I'm not here, he will say the first seat!

Just like King Xiao back then, I sit in the first seat! I want to see my father! I want to see my father... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

Then there was the sound of porcelain breaking, and several servants were guarding outside the yard, trembling as cold as they dared not go in.

Mr. Fang called one of them and said, "I'll report it, I want to see His Royal Highness."

The servant nodded, walked in with fear, and came out soon after, and whispered: "Your Highness said that he will not see you... Let Mr.... Let Mr. get out..."

Mr. Fang was suffocated in his chest and could not speak for a long time, so he could only turn around and leave silently. Finally, he turned back: "Tell the crown prince that he still has a chance and another rare opportunity. Next year, our Jingguo will definitely use troops to Liao. If he can perform well, the emperor may also change his mind."

As he said that, he bowed to the direction of the prince: "The prince gave me the kindness of food and clothing, and I will never forget it forever." After that, he turned around and left. What is the greatest place in the world?

.........

The lights of thousands of families are bustling, and the entire Kaiyuan City is full of lively scenes, with thousands of families brightly lit and the sound of firecrackers.

"The east wind blooms thousands of flowers at night. It blows down, and stars are like rain. The fragrance of BMW carvings is everywhere. The sound of phoenix flutes moves, the jade pot turns, and fish and dragon dance overnight." Zhong Daoyu sat on a chair, with felt covered on his knees, staring blankly at the dull courtyard here. This year, no one of his children is back.

There was a dim candle behind him, and only Wei Chuan was with him.

"The general also likes the words of King Pingnan." Wei Chuan asked with a smile.

Zhong Daoyu nodded: "People have holidays, but they like the poems."

Facing the dark courtyard, he waved his hand and said, "Weichuan, go back and spend more time with your family."

Wei Chuan shook his head: "I will accompany the general."

Zhong Daoyu glanced at him: "Follower, the lessons of the past, the teacher of the later car, don't know how to cherish it at this time. In a few decades, you will be the same as me."

"That's not the car ahead." Wei Chuan shook his head, "The general fought south and north, and was thousands of miles away from Beijing all year round. What's the solution? The general was away all year round, and his beloved concubine stole men at home, so he didn't pursue it. What else should they do if they have such a heart?
