Chapter 892: The Matchmaker (Eleventh Shift)
The baron generally has no name, and Zhu Cihong also deliberately added a disobedient baron, which can be regarded as a belittling of the tsar of the Rakshasa country, but he finally gave the tsar a way to live, and also rewarded a single house to enter the courtyard, if Alexei is honest enough, the baron's salary is enough to allow him to die in peace.
"My Emperor is merciful!"
"Long live my emperor!"
……
The people outside Andingmen immediately changed their slogans and began to cheer, and the voices began to rise and fall again.
The people are always blind and blindly obedient, in fact, the people are also mixed with the plainclothes of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and these guys have two missions.
The first is to screen whether there are lawbreakers among the people, and the second is to be responsible for bringing the atmosphere of the people according to the actual situation, such as shouting slogans is the credit of these plainclothes.
This is no different from some variety shows in later generations spending money to hire childcare, all for the effect.
After disposing of the prisoners, it was already dark, Zhu Cihong had already ordered Shang Shan Jian to prepare for the evening celebration banquet, and Liu Hong gradually learned that although he was homesick, he still returned to the palace with Zhu Cihong to attend the banquet.
He has matured a lot compared to a few years ago, and now he thinks about how unreasonable it was to refuse the celebration banquet prepared for him by Uncle Chongzhen in front of Uncle Chongzhen, and he also understands Uncle Chongzhen's tolerance for him.
Zhu Cihong let Liu Hong, like his father, gradually take the imperial chariot (royal carriage) back to the palace with him, and the officials did not have this treatment, except for a few old people in the cabinet who were specially allowed to ride in a sedan chair, the rest followed behind the imperial chariot.
It's just that there will be trouble when there are too many people, and it is not far from Andingmen to the palace, but because it is the emperor's travel, Zhu Cihong has put a lot of effort into the pomp and circumstance for this event, and nearly 10,000 people have been arranged just by relying on it.
Coupled with the Tiger Ben camp and many courtiers, it took more than half an hour to enter the palace one after another.
At the celebration banquet, there was a staggered selection of fine wines and delicacies, and many young ministers even raised their wine glasses to toast the generals of the expeditionary force, which made the generals including Lin He have more face on their faces.
You must know that a few years ago, the status of military attachés reached the lowest, and a civilian official of the fourth or fifth rank did not even greet the general soldier of the first rank when he saw it, in a word, the civilian official looked down on the military attaché.
Now the civil officials not only came to toast, but also enthusiastically asked him about the details of the conquest of the Rakshasa Kingdom, which was really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
In the past few years, Liu Hongjian has been committed to improving the status of the generals, increasing salaries, improving food, pensions, rewarding silver, rewarding those who have merit, and punishing those who have faulty.
Those who are soldiers are no longer thieves with the army, and the slogan that a good man is not a soldier has been replaced by the most glorious soldier.
Liu Hongjian sat at the main table with Zhu Cihong and the cabinet elders, and in the cabinet, except for the second assistant Han Yu who stood up to toast him and congratulated him, including the first assistant Li Banghua, they only complimented him twice.
Liu Hong gradually wondered in his heart, but he didn't care very much, Zhu Cihong naturally knew why this group of pavilions was always depressed, and he estimated that he would continue to be depressed for ten days and half a month, and he might even be passive and slack off.
The reason is very simple, the holy decree of today's welcoming ceremony is seriously violated.
This is not quite the same as the previous violation of Zhu Cihong's father and son, which is to directly cross the cabinet in front of the courtiers, which is equivalent to stepping on the face of the cabinet in front of hundreds of officials......
Zhu Cihong stayed with a group of old men for a while at the celebration banquet and then left, and Liu Honggradually stayed for another quarter of an hour to avoid being too obvious.
He knew that Zhu Cihong was waiting for him in the Qianqing Palace, and the so-called celebration banquet was actually just this kid who wanted to talk to him, so he went directly to the Qianqing Palace.
The Qianqing Palace was really lit up, and as soon as he entered the door, Liu Hong gradually found that there was a small table of banquets in the hall.
The specifications of this banquet are much smaller than those in the Imperial Palace, but it is two meat and two vegetables plus a soup, Liu Hong smiled with relief after gradually entering, for the two of them, this is the correct way to open the wine.
"You're too hasty today, aren't you afraid to go down in the future and let the emperor know and beat you?" Liu Hong gradually picked up the wine and drank it well, and said while picking up the vegetables.
To be honest, whether it is the king of the county or the prince, Liu Hong gradually doesn't care much.
After all, it's just a name, does anyone dare to disrespect him when he is the king of the county now?
"Hey, this is still given to me by my father, his old man originally wanted to canonize Brother Liu when he was alive, but before leaving, he said that he would give me this opportunity." Zhu Cihong also drank a glass of wine, and he was in a really good mood now.
"Hmph, I've been drinking cold wind in Eastern Europe for a year, but you're free, and you've become the largest country in the whole world in this comfortable nest.
Tell me about the minister, how many children have you had this year? Liu Hong gradually joked.
"Hehe, no more, no more, just eight more, five princes and three girls." Zhu Cihong said modestly.
"You have to be careful, I've told you how many times you just won't listen!" Liu Hong gradually ignored Zhu Cihong's deliberate display, but persuaded again.
"Hehe, Brother Liu, are you jealous, why don't you find a few beautiful palace maids to send to your house as concubines?
Oh, you can't like it, right? Didn't I send a lot of them over the first two years? Where did it go? Zhu Cihong muttered to himself for a long time, and then looked at Liu Hongji.
This guy had already drunk several glasses of wine just now while waiting for Liu Hongji, and now he was slightly drunk.
"I'm sorry, the minister is afraid, especially your good sister, I introduced those palace ladies to the bachelors in the guard camp." Liu Hongjian had nothing to hide, and said bluntly.
If it was an ordinary official who gave away the things given by the emperor casually, he would not be able to be imprisoned and questioned, but Liu Hongjian did it so recklessly, and Zhu Cihong was still clear in his heart.
"Speaking of Kunxing, you know Zhaoren Nannizi, you have to worship the Bodhisattva almost every few days in the year you have been gone, and you have lived in your county palace for several days." Zhu Cihong said sourly.
"Hehe, a girl doll who is only eleven years old, just playing at home, what are you thinking? Empress Dowager Zhou is in good health? Liu Hong gradually changed the topic and planned to spare Zhaoren, he felt that Zhu Cihong had ill intentions.
"The queen mother is in good health, don't change the subject, I'm talking to you about business, I'm just these two sisters, and you're not happy to marry you.
The queen mother's side has been loosened by my persuasion a few days ago, if you want me to say, you will follow, with my understanding of Zhaoren's Nizi, she will definitely not give up. Zhu Cihong then re-led the topic back to what he believed to be the right path.
"Hey, what are you doing brother, your sister is only eleven years old, you beast!" Liu Hong was speechless for a while.
How can there be such a brother in this world, and I don't know how Zhaoren, a little clever ghost, tossed Zhu Cihong in such a way, he has become a matchmaker.
"Wait a few more years!" Seeing that Zhu Cihong was still unrelenting, Liu Honggradually had to vaguely agree.
In his opinion, this is just a child's worship, and when she grows up in a few years, she will naturally meet someone she really likes.
"How many years?" Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, he was really tired of being a matchmaker, not only to deal with the Empress Dowager Zhou's side first, but also to deal with the man's side.
But he couldn't help it, whoever called himself such a girl, he ran to his Qianqing Palace to inquire about Liu Hongji's war, and prayed in front of her that Liu Hongjian would return safely and marry her.
Zhu Cihong was worried that if he continued like this, his stupid girl would lose his heart and go crazy, and he didn't know why this was happening, but as a brother, he was also distressed, and at the same time he thought that there was no more capable, more responsible, and more capable man in the world than Liu Hongji.
"Three years, when she's fourteen, if that's still the case...... Of course, you are not allowed to tell Zhaoren the three-year period, to be honest, Zhaoren is quite likable, worship is not love, I hope she finds someone she really loves. Liu Hongjian said to Zhu Cihong very seriously.
"Okay, then our gentleman will not be able to chase after him!" Zhu Cihong picked up the wine glass.
"OK, ten horses can't catch up!" Liu Hongjian also picked up the cup and touched it.
"Oh yes, Liu Qing, since you are already the king of Qin, when there is a fiefdom, when you were the king of the county, you rejected the previous emperor's proposal to refuse to receive the fief, now do you have other ideas?"
