Chapter 101: At the Royal Banquet
"Our dynasty has been Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Wen, Emperor Renzong Zhao, Emperor Xuanzong Zhang, Emperor Xianzong Rui. Even if the previous dynasty Emperor Muzongchun had never had the precedent of the ministers and honors entering the palace to attend the banquet in the Six Dynasties, what would Your Majesty do?" Li Dongyang was stunned in shock, and after a moment he came to his senses, he was so scared that he was no one looked like a face. He hurriedly wore the court robes while scolding him with heartache.
He thought the old emperor was going to take action.
The lady persuaded: "Now that the world is in peace and the princes are rising up. Your Majesty is the conclusion of the 'Emperor Wu' who pursues the 'expanding territory'. How could he start a large-scale killing?"
After saying this, Li Dongyang felt a little relieved. Yes, Emperor Chengzhi's current pursuit is to set the posthumous title of "Emperor Martial Arts" such as "Kantian Mingdao shows its merits and powers". If the Western Army is willing, this title would be matched with Emperor Chengzhi.
Fight the world, completely recover the bathing, beat the Tatars and Ola, and sweep away the various Hus outside the pass. If it were not considered Emperor Wu, then there would be no Emperor Wu.
For this, the old emperor could not have killed all the ministers and killed Guixun when he had just finished the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Master, Mr. Yang has already set out to Da Nei." The butler of the Li Mansion rushed in and reported in a hurry.
Yang Tinghe ran so fast?
"It seems that there won't be much of a big deal. It's probably just a meal," Li Dongyang smiled, "What else?"
The housekeeper said: "I just took some angels and said that King Zhongshun has arrived."
Bang!
Li Dongyang turned over.
This is the rhythm of freeing up the steps to lead the army to do big things.
Li Dongyang was just panicked, and the kings were so scared that they burst into tears.
King Ning was uneasy. After seeing off the eunuch, he paced back and forth on the ground, whether to go or not was a problem.
Someone may say: "Since you are a banquet for court officials and honors, I believe the old emperor will not do anything bad."
Some people also persuaded: "The king should not go, if he goes, he will definitely change."
"If you don't go, I'm afraid that the Ti cavalry will come to the door in a short while. What should I do if I do then?" Ning Wang's mouth trembled, "You have also heard that King Zhongshun's entry into the capital is afraid that he will bring not only the Western cavalry, but also the support the emperor needs."
What support is left and right?
"The Princess Qin is pregnant, and once a prince is born, the kings will be uneasy," said Ning Wang irritated. "The princess has been in Xi'an Mansion for a long time, so she can't bring back any good news. It's really a frustrating thing."
Suddenly, when he heard the sound of horse hooves outside, King Ning shivered, hurriedly put on his dress, and hurriedly led thirty or fifty people to the big inner corner.
I dare not go.
If they don't go, it's okay for others to say that the old emperor would send factory guards to "invite" them to the banquet.
At that time, face will not be guaranteed without any loss of face - if the emperor treats you, you will not come, the Western Army invites you to wander, will you not give face, right?
King Ning is still a hero, and King Xing of Yue was really scared to death.
"King, King Ning has arrived outside the palace gate!" The confidant civil and military officials persuaded him together, "How can the emperor not obey?"
"No, no, no, I am not afraid of the emperor, but..." King Yue lay on the couch, covered with a quilt and said fearfully, "If the Western Army wants to capture the Zhu Ming royal family in one place, isn't it? Is this what I am afraid of."
The three sons were also hunching their necks beside them, and they were indeed not afraid of the emperor.
But they are afraid of that bandit!
The emperor said that if they wanted to beat them to death, they had to consider other people's feelings, but Wei Xiaolang said that if they beat them to death, they would never beat them half to death!
"King, the princess of Xiangyang is still here, how could the Duke of Qin be willing to take action?" The confidants advised, "What's more, the New Year's War is about to start, and Wei Yang is in the army for a long time, so why didn't he notice it at all?"
"It is precisely because of this that I cannot go. Once they decide to go to war with the grassland tribes after the New Year, they will definitely settle the court first." King Yue trembled for several times before guessing, "What's more, if the Qin princess can give birth to a grandson after the New Year... No, no, no, I must not go."
He thought more than these confidants.
Just you, the prince’s mansion, will poison it?
What if the old emperor gave him a chronic poison to his "Emperor Brother"?
"If the king does not go to the banquet tonight, then if he suddenly decides to the crown prince tonight, he is afraid that the king will not be able to get the throne." After all, he is a confidant and knows the King of Yue well. When he saw that the left and right persuasion was not in place, someone immediately laughed and said, "First of all, the emperor issued an edict to order all the ministers, princes, ministers and ministers to go to the banquet. But the king is not allowed, the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory will be dispatched together, but I am afraid that the face of the King of Yue will be overwhelmed by the time."
The King of Yue sat up immediately.
"However, if you go to the banquet, there are indeed some risks. However, the Western Army has always been open and upright in conducting assassination? What's more, even though the princess of Xiangyang is ruthless, she still married from the Yue Palace. Now the princess is the lieutenant general, named the town center, but in fact she is in charge of the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial s
King Yue suddenly looked at his three sons and almost got angry to death when he saw that he was about to die of anger.
These three evil deeds actually retreated with their necks shrank, which meant that they would let your father go to the banquet alone?
"In the following view, no king will bring his family and his family. If the king can bring three of His Highnesses to the banquet together, it will be a good thing," said the confidant again, "at least it can show that the Yue Palace is open and unrestrained."
The three of them scolded in unison: "Why do you harm me?"
"Three Your Highnesses, if the emperor wants to take action, the Duke of Qin will agree, even if he hides in Hangzhou, he will probably not be able to escape the minions of the Western Army, let alone in the capital." Several confidants said with a smile.
King Yue finally made up his mind when he thought left and right.
Go together!
Compared with King Ning and King Yue, King Xing was the most fearful.
He is the second heir to the throne.
The four sons of the old emperor were all dead. Before the emperor's grandson was born, Emperor Muzong Chunduan's lineage was naturally the King of Yue as the first heir to the throne. However, in the fierce conflict between the King of Yue and the Emperor, King Xing, who knew the truth of some things, knew the most about his danger.
If Emperor Chunduan’s lineage cannot inherit the throne, then we must start from Emperor Xianzong. King Xing is from this lineage, which is considered a small clan. When the small clan enters the main clan, he will be a reasonable and legal successor to the throne.
Therefore, King Xing felt that his situation was the most dangerous.
"If the emperor has a grandson, and the grandson is young, in order to ensure that the throne can be successfully inherited from Emperor Chengzhi, whether it is King Yue or King Xing, they are all people who threaten the imperial power, and they must be solved one by one; from King Yue, he knew how disgusted the emperor's view of his lineage. If Emperor Chengzhi had other choices, the possibility of the King Yue's lineage inheritance would be greatly reduced." King Xing changed three pieces of clothes, and each time the clothes changed was wet with his sweat. King Xing and his confidant revealed, "Then King Ning, because when Emperor Taizong was Emperor Taizu considered the inheritance of the throne of King Ning, the Ning King's lineage had thought that the Taizong lineage owed their throne for generations. In order to successfully ascend to the throne, King Ning must first solve the vassal kings of the Taizong lineage who had the strength to inherit the throne. King Yue was strong, and King Xing was the best target to start."
His confidant is Jiang Lun, who is the relative of Princess Xing. For Princess Xing, this is also the military force he relies on.
Jiang Lun pondered, and he also refused to attend the banquet.
There are too many dangers in this banquet. King Xing said it right. The most powerful groups want King Xing to die first. Once they agree, they may take advantage of this opportunity to start together.
