The lights are brilliant and the figures are noisy.

The rain has just fallen, the road surface on the street outside is still flowing with water, and the courtyard on the north side of Hangzhou City is brightly lit, and the red lanterns outline the appearance of the long street, and a wave of cars, horses, and crowds gather. The decoration of this piece comes from the most lively scene after Fang La's accession to the throne.

On August 22, the Yongle Dynasty had a banquet for 100 officials.

This area was originally called Changxing Street, and the people living nearby were originally all wealthy gentry with heads and faces in Hangzhou. Two streets away from this side, a large mansion that was originally a royal palace has now become the palace of the small court of the Yongle Dynasty. Changxing Street was not affected much in the earthquake, and it is said that the Seven Buddhas had already taken a fancy to the surrounding area, and they did not experience extensive damage in the later military disasters. The Hundred Officials Banquet was a relatively grand banquet, so it was set up here.

Ning Yi came after eating at home first, and the little attendant who followed under Ah Chang's instructions only arrived at the door, and after handing over the post, he went in under the guidance of the general, and greeted a scribe he knew in the academy on the way.

There are about four or five hundred people invited to this banquet for hundreds of officials, plus the soldiers and generals who are in charge of public security around them, and the subordinates who are in charge of doing things, there is a lineup of thousands of people. This piece was originally a luxurious courtyard garden, in the past, it was atmospheric, but at this time, walking in it, between the lights and shadows, you can see people coming and going, rockeries, pavilions, gravel paths between various characters pass through, it is like having the feeling of visiting a temple fair.

But to the rear of the scene will be open, here there is a medium-sized square surrounded by houses, now the surrounding houses face the square side of the wall has been opened, a red lacquered round table in those houses under the eaves stretched, put out a long queue like a formation, it seems, but also show a bit of atmosphere, the square originally set up a high canopy, now has been removed most of it, the ground is basically still dry, the unremoved canopy around a circle, under the canopy, one by one lanterns hang high, It's quite lively.

Although it is basically a group of peasants who have no rich background to enter Hangzhou, at least there will be no shortage of luxurious materials in the capture of the city. Ning Yi has not had much contact with in Hangzhou City now, but there are naturally some people he knows, such as the scribes of Wenlie Academy, such as the parents of some academy disciples, who are more suitable for talking today, and naturally some participants on the side of the Badao Battalion, he looked for it slightly, and then found a place in a corner of the back room.

This table is basically some of the small stewards in the Badao camp today, just like the two scribes who handled affairs with Liu Dabiao in the past, just like some of the little stewards under Liu Tiannan, after the establishment of Fang La's Yongle Dynasty, everyone was more or less an official, and they ran over to join in the excitement and show their faces in the mood of rubbing rice. As for Liu Tiannan, Du Kill, Luo Bingren and others, the head of the guards around Liu Dabiao, although they participated and the relationship between everyone was harmonious, even if they arrived, they would not come to this table.

Although Ning Yi is an outsider, everyone knows that he has some ability, and he will not give him a look on weekdays, and Ning Yi is by no means the kind of person who will give people a negative impression verbally in this kind of interaction, even if he gets along well with two of the scribes. These people are all old people with certain qualifications in the Badao Battalion, following the battle, and seeing a lot of things, when Ning Yi sat down, one of them named Liu Zhizhang took Ning Yi and pointed to him to introduce some of the people who were present now.

"Look at it, the one in front has a very long beard, and it's called Gao Yu. I know each other, both civil and military, very powerful, and have eaten together before. Not far from him, some fat is the ancestor of the ancestors, very good to the owner, they have spoken together before, and the family ...... "..., "Come over a little more, look, the one who is laughing, that is Zhang Daoyuan, sometimes very reckless, but some people say that he has a honey belly sword, but you don't have to worry about him......"

"Xu Bai and Yuanxing, they are often together...... What about Li Tianyou...... Brother Jia He, have you seen Li Tianyou? ”。

Liu Zhizhang pointed and pointed and talked for a while, as if he was specifically looking for someone to show Ning Yi. Ning Yi also understood that Zhang Daoyuan, Xu Bai, Yuan Xing, and Li Tianyou wanted to kill him at the beginning, but because of the appearance of Chen Fan, the other party knew the difficulty and retreated. Although Liu Zhizhang and the others are only mediocre in handling things, they are definitely better informed in the Badao Battalion, but they must surpass him, so they naturally inquired a little about the situation that day, and at this time, they gave Ning Yi a wake-up call.

Tang Jiahe next to him is a little steward in the Zhuangzi, and now he is in charge of the chores on the streets, he is in his thirties, knocking peanuts, quite a bit of gangsterism, looking around, patting Ning Yi on the shoulder indifferently: "I didn't see it, so what, Brother Ning, don't care about these people, what about Li Tianyou, even if his brother Marshal Li arrives, he can't help but give face to the owner of the village." ”

After he said this, someone on the side thought about it and asked, "I heard...... Brother Ning also offended Shi Shuai? ”

That Tang Jiahe scratched his hair: "Shi Shuai is tolerant, he is not such an unreasonable person, Brother Ning is now with us with one heart, he will think about it." Even if he doesn't give up, doesn't Chen Fan and Brother Ning also have a friendship, Li Shuai Shi Shuai, the owner of the village, Chen Fan, it's just a tie......"

"It's hard to say, the owner and Chen Fan are young after all......"

"It's not like the owner and Shi Shuai haven't fought before......"

The Marshal Li that these people said is naturally Li Tianyan, and Shi Shuai is of course Shi Bao. Liu Xigua's status in front of Fang La is obviously quite transcendent, once there is a conflict with others, those who can win the reason may be reasonable, and those who are too lazy to talk will pull out their knives and cut people, and they will see the difference by heads-up. It shouldn't be the first time this kind of thing has happened, everyone said it with relish, and Ning Yi was also listening with interest next to him.

He naturally doesn't have to worry about this now, Liu Dabiao is actually a person who understands the importance of things, since he wants to protect himself, it means that he has already weighed it, and it seems that he can still believe it. After talking for a while, they talked about who was the most powerful and the most powerful among the rebels now, and so on.

In fact, at this banquet of 100 officials, there were not many real heavyweights in the rebel army, and Ning Yi was also clear. Now Fang Qifo, who is above 10,000 people under one person, is fighting Jiaxing, although his subordinates have received Shi Bao, Li Tianyan and others, but it seems that the war is not going well; Fang Baihua came back for a Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, and originally said that he would participate in the banquet of hundreds of officials, but the day before yesterday, he left the city in a hurry and took charge of the northwest war; Today's Shangshu Wang Yin of the Ministry of War is in the south, cooperating with Si Xingfang and Deng Yuanjue to fight in Yuezhou and Taizhou, and in response to the uprising of Lu Shisang in Taizhou, it is a good fight.

The four heavenly kings and the real heavyweights have basically not arrived. Now in Hangzhou City, Lou Minzhong is a faction, in charge of the government, is considered to be in power, the right prime minister Zu Shiyuan is more vacillating, and Lou Minzhong, the governor Qi Yuankang has a good relationship, and although the heavenly master Bao Daoyi seems to be low-key, in fact, it is a typical example of more money, more brothers, and more guys. Nowadays, everyone worships the mountain and hugs the thighs, which is basically for these people, of course, there are other small hills, but they are naturally not as famous as these people. As for Liu Dabiao, he only pulls the flag internally, and people outside can't hug their thighs if they want to, and there are not many people who know the Tao.

Ning Yi already had an outline in his heart, and listening to some gossip at this time made it clearer. Bao Daoyi and Qi Yuankang have not yet arrived, Lou Minzhong and Zu Shiyuan were surrounded in the crowd, looking at it from a distance, they also had quite an aura, after watching it like this for a while, Ning Yi went out to the toilet, and on the way back, in the corridor, he was stopped by a figure. ..., "Ning Liheng." ”

The person who came looked square, had a calm temperament, was slightly elegant, about thirty years old, and arched his hand after speaking. Ning Yi glanced at it twice, and then searched for the image of this person in his memory: "Long Xingshou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

He had only met this person about twice before, the first time was when he first arrived in Hangzhou and Tan'er went to visit each other, and the second time was when he met him on the street one day and said hello. The other party's name is Long Boyuan, who is the head of the original cloth guild in Hangzhou, and when the man saw that Ning Yi still remembered him, he was also slightly surprised, and waved his hand with a smile: "Hey, don't talk about it, it's not now." ”

laughed for a while, and asked, "Ning Xian's nephew couldn't go back, so she ...... the niece of the Su family."

"It's hard to put into words, but Tan'er went back, and Brother Lao Long was concerned."

"I went back...... It's okay to go back. Long Boyuan smiled, nodded, and then patted him on the shoulder, "What about Liheng now?" Where to stay? What is the situation? ”

"Heh, I didn't escape, I became a gentleman in Wenlie Academy, and now I write things for people, do things and classify them......" Ning Yi said his general situation, "How is Brother Long?" ”

"It's not good, when the army entered the city, a family business was about to be robbed. Although there is some experience in the business of the cloth industry, but the old ones are gone, and now there are three religions and nine streams on the market, all of them are fresh faces, and the rules do not know how to handle, barely maintained, and in troubled times, business is difficult to do. He smiled, "The happiest thing now is to see that the old friends have nothing to do, although it is not a good thing here." Su Jiaxian's niece is gone, but since Liheng is here, I will have more time to come and go in the future, I still live in the original place, Bofen and Liheng are also literati and can speak. Although he is in business, his younger brother Long Bofen is an authentic literati.

Ning Yi also smiled: "It should be like this." ”

"Okay, I'll go first." Long Boyuan patted him on the shoulder, and then leaned over a little, "If you don't leave, the girl on the other side will come over, Ha Luha." ”

After he said this, he left without looking back with a smile, Ning Yi turned his head with some doubts, only to see that half of the courtyard was separated, and under the red lantern in the corridor over there, a woman was tilting her head slightly, looking over with some doubts, but it was Lou Shuwan, who had not been seen for a long time.
