Each one is clear.
This mad dog is going to kill people if he comes to Beijing
The older generation all know that the late emperor killed more than 30,000 people in one night, including his brothers and uncles, all of whom were killed by this person himself.
When the late emperor was in Qianlong, he was accompanied by two hawks and dogs.
'Saker Falcon' 'Mad Dog'.
It is better to offend a Saker Falcon than to offend a mad dog.
In the hall, when Zhu Huang arrived, the atmosphere of savoring the bright moon was no longer there. Everyone began to ponder why this person came.
Among the younger generation, many have heard the story of the Mad Dog Zhu Huang, and many of them have nothing but admiration and respect for him.
Especially since they had just entered the hall, there was a scene where many people clasped their fists and saluted, which made some people even more excited.
Especially the three words "Wen Daji Shi".
Zhu Huang was even more impressed.
In the winter of the fourteenth year of the previous emperor’s reign, the barbarians invaded the northern border of Daxia.
Six thousand soldiers of the Daji Army held the Xianai Pass to the death and repelled the 80,000-strong barbarian army.
Of the six thousand people, only General Meng Qin's son Meng Wu and Zhu Huang survived.
To this day, a large banner with the words "Big Halberd, Never Retreat" is still hung at Xian'ai Pass in the northern border of Daxia.
Facing north and back to south.
Just like the 6,000 soldiers with large halberds who faced north and back south and refused to retreat.
Zhu Huang was too lazy to think about what these people were thinking. He was indeed hungry at the moment. After receiving the imperial edict half a month ago, he rode his horse at full speed without thinking. Several horses died and the skin on his buttocks and thighs was worn out.
If the Queen was not beside him, he would have wanted to lie down and eat.
It hurts so much!
However, while thinking this, Zhu Huang glanced at the people in the hall without showing any expression, just a glance.
Some of them happened to make eye contact with Zhu Huang, and they felt guilty and turned their heads away immediately, still feeling frightened.
However, after looking around and seeing the shameless Queen Mother, Zhu Huang saw Su Changan holding a cushion in his hand.
Su Changan said, "General, you got hurt while riding a horse. How about using a cushion? Don't bear it."
Zhu Huang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I can bear it."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, but he didn't think much of it. He put the mat next to Zhu Huang, thought for a moment and said, "How about eating while lying down?"
Zhu Huang felt even more embarrassed when he heard this, and stuffed the cushion under his butt casually: "That's it."
Su Changan wanted to say something, but gave up.
After all, people outside see her as a woman, and her identity is even that of the future queen.
However, Zhu Huang felt like crying while biting the grilled lamb chops in his hand because he missed the late queen.
Back then, the late Queen Mother always treated him well out of the blue.
As a result, this happened suddenly to the Queen Mother, twice in a row.
Annoying! I, Old Zhu, can’t stand this!
"Prince Yong and the Great Commander Yan are here to see you!"
But it was at this time.
The eunuch outside the hall reported again.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned again.
It’s really full of twists and turns!
After the relationship between Su Changan and His Majesty was announced, Zhu Huang came, and now the Fourth Prince who was under house arrest in Shu as everyone knows has also come.
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly and looked outside the hall.
Mu Xu noticed this scene and chuckled in his heart. Ever since he saw Zhu Huang coming, Mu Xu was wondering whether the former fourth prince, Prince Yong, would be the next to appear.
Unexpectedly.
It’s really here!
However, Mu Xu felt very happy when he saw the Queen Mother's expression, and thought, why aren't you smiling?
Taifu Yang Shanchang, Yang Guofu, the Eighth Prince and others were all shocked when they heard this.
But he was not looking at the entrance of the hall, but at the empress.
But Xia Fengxiang remained calm and just looked at the entrance of the hall. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
But everyone else was looking towards the entrance of the hall.
then
Everyone saw Yan Yunxiao, who was yawning, walking casually into the hall with a wine gourd in his hand, and walked straight to the steps in the front where the empress was and sat down.
then
I saw a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The young man looked somewhat dark and his skin was very rough. He did not look like a nobleman like a prince, but rather like someone working in the fields.
However, the young man's eyes were bright. Although he was not very imposing, he held his head high and walked straight to the front of the hall. He bowed to Xia Fengxiang and said, "I am your royal brother Xia Yan. I pay my respects to your Majesty. May the emperor be well."
then
Xia Xuan, the Prince of Yong who had been a hostage for three years, bowed to the Queen Mother again and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, my mother."
It started from the moment I heard that Prince Yong was coming.
The Queen Mother seemed to be out of control, and her expression was no longer in control.
Seeing her son like this, there was some disbelief and heartache in her eyes, because when her son left, he was so fair and tender, like a jade carving, but now he is like this.
Especially when the Queen Mother saw her son's hands, they were extremely rough and even had calluses.
This is not how a prince of a country should behave!
Xia Fengxiang looked at his fourth half brother and said, "He's much taller now, taller than me. But he's a lot darker."
Xia Xuan immediately smiled and said, "I brought the grain that I planted myself for Your Majesty and Mother."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "You've worked hard all the way. Come and take your seat."
After paying his respects, Xia Yan, led by Sun Shang Gong, walked to the side and sat down at the table next to Zhu Huang.
then
Xia Fengxiang held a wine glass in his hand and said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. I offer this glass of wine to you all, to the rising talents of Great Xia, to the soldiers on the border of Great Xia, and to the millions of people in the territory of Great Xia."
Having said that, Xia Fengxiang drank it all in one gulp.
Naturally, when Xia Fengxiang picked up the wine glass and stood up, everyone in the hall had already stood up with their wine glasses in hand.
Xia Fengxiang drank it all in one gulp, and everyone said in unison: "Our emperor's grace."
Afterwards, they drank it all in one gulp.
Xia Fengxiang said, "It's still like what I said at the beginning of the banquet. You can all just follow your own wishes. There's no need to be formal, and there's no need to stay at your seats. Since this is a banquet, we should celebrate first."
After saying that, Xia Fengxiang sat back in his seat, leaned against the dragon throne, and glanced at the empress dowager.
I saw the Queen Mother was staring at my younger brother.
Then he looked at Yang Shanchang and Yang Guofu and saw that they were the same.
Then look at my eighth uncle.
He lowered his head and didn't even drink.
Well~~~that's right, I just want to scare you, if I don't scare you, you are still thinking about taking action against my Chang'an.
Thought of here
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan.
I found out that this person was actually teaching Zhu Huang something.
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "I'll deal with you later! I let you scare others, but you come to scare me! Humph!"
……
Inside the Zhonghe Hall, there was a palace banquet with undercurrents surging. Although all the people participating in the banquet were sitting at the table, they were all thinking about everything that happened tonight.
but
Outside the palace, at [Qingya Restaurant], no one knew that the temple had been turned upside down, they only knew that the poem had not been delivered yet!
Therefore, everyone is really waiting impatiently.
"Boss, why haven't you arrived yet? The palace banquet has been going on for almost an hour!"
"Yeah, can we get it?"
"It's urgent, boss. Find a few more people to rush it!"
"I've already eaten all the food, but the poetry hasn't come yet!"
……
The restaurant manager watched people shouting like this inside the store, and then looked outside to see people urging him on.
He was also a little anxious.
However, we have sent out four or five people, but no poem has been delivered yet. If no poem comes out tonight, not to mention that it will ruin the reputation of Qingya Restaurant, these scholars will definitely not let us off.
So, the manager kept looking outside.
"Here he comes! Here he comes!! Boss, Xiao Wuzi is back!"
At this moment, the news spread among the crowd outside.
The manager was startled for a moment and immediately looked over from a distance.
I saw some people in the crowd desperately trying to squeeze towards the restaurant entrance.
