Chapter 969: The Beginning of the Court Banquet
"Really, let's be the prefectural magistrate?" Compared with the other brainless ones, Peng Qi was obviously more cautious.
"Yes! Not only are you serving as the county commander, and those who perform well are also qualified to become county guards, and even enter the imperial court as officials. Liu Xie nodded, "At the same time, within the autonomous county, the Yue people also enjoy some other power ......."
"And what price do we have to pay?" Peng Qi felt that it was better to say ugly things in the front.
"First, all residents of autonomous counties must be registered and cannot continue to be hidden households, this is basic common sense, there is nothing to say; Second, although your customs can be preserved and respected to the greatest extent, the Han Law will be the basic law of the autonomous county, and your customs and habits cannot violate the Han Law; Finally, and crucially, it is important to emphasize that there are no more private armies, and the Vietnamese can join the army, but the tribes are not allowed to have private armies. Liu Xie replied. Strictly speaking, there are also some cultural aspects, but these subtle influences are good.
"Really...... That's it? Peng Qi was a little incredulous, when did Dahan speak so well?
"That's it, there's no need to doubt anything." Liu Xie replied, "I said that the Yue and Han people have a common ancestor, and you and I should be brothers, not enemies. Brothers take care of each other, the family can prosper, if they fight internally, the family is not far from falling apart. ”
"I ...... Minister...... Willing to serve the great Han for the work of dogs and horses! Peng Qi was really a little excited, and hurriedly swore allegiance.
"Ministers, I am willing to serve the great Han dogs and horses!" Several other leaders were not to be left behind.
"Come, let's go back and discuss the details of the autonomous county. In fact, not only the autonomous county, but I even had plans to set up autonomous townships and autonomous counties. However, for the time being, it is necessary to establish two or three autonomous counties as a pilot for this policy, and if there is no problem in three to five years, it will be promoted. Liu Xie stretched out his hand at that time to lead Peng Qi back to the palace.
"Yes......" Peng Qi carefully took Liu Xie's hand, and then followed.
Just by shaking hands, the gap between the two is reflected. Liu Xie's hands are white and tender, full of elasticity. And Peng Qi's hands, because of the long-term martial arts practice, seem very rough. In front of Liu Xie, Peng Qi actually felt a little dwarfed.
This chat was talked about until the afternoon, at the beginning of the hour, maybe it was still about business, but at the beginning of the afternoon, it was basically a chat between the two little women. Liu Xie talked about the customs of the Han Dynasty, and Peng Qi talked about the strange things on the side of the Yue people.
The third prince went back early, rested for half a day, and had to go to the banquet tonight. In the end, it is a palace dinner, so you don't have to wear court clothes, and you won't be ashamed to change into the best evening dress. In the final analysis, it is to deter these Yue people.
"Boom!" Inside the palace, Liu Xie pushed Peng Qi, who had changed his clothes, to the fitting mirror, "How is it?" ”
"Such clothes...... Wear it on me...... It feels so awkward......" Peng Qi twisted a little, she didn't dare to look in the mirror, the graceful and luxurious woman in it didn't seem to be her. No, it was precisely because the existence inside was so beautiful that she didn't dare to imagine that it was her.
"Actually, your qualifications are also very good, but you don't usually dress up much, look, this dress is definitely going to fascinate people." Liu Xie said with a smile.
"That's right...... Right? Peng Qi pinched the corners of his clothes and looked at the mirror with a little courage. Slowly, it became a figure in the mirror that was carefully examined, and then slowly became intoxicated.
Can she be so beautiful?!
"Mother's ......" Liu Feng just finished today's class and returned to the palace. Probably seeing Peng Qi, he looked at the other party with some caution and asked, "This beautiful aunt...... Is it my new aunt too? ”
"No, no......" Liu Xie hugged Liu Feng up, "This aunt is a guest of my mother's family." ”
"Oh......" Liu Feng's attitude suddenly improved a lot when he heard this, "Hello, Auntie!" ”
"Auntie......" Peng Qi was suddenly hit by a critical attack, she is not married yet, although she is forty years old. However, being called 'Auntie' by a child of a few years old is still somewhat sad.
The problem is that she also knows that this aunt is going to be decided, after all, if it is a 'sister', then Liu Xie will become the existence of her 'aunt' generation. It's not a good thing to suddenly be a generation shorter than others.
At the same time, I have some doubts in my heart, what does my aunt mean? In my impression, I have vaguely heard of this word, which literally seems to be my mother's sister, but if Liu Xie directly denies it, then it is not this concept......
"The dinner party is going to start soon, let's go over!" Liu Xie said to her.
"Oh, okay......" When Peng Qi heard this, he could only temporarily put aside the idea of exploration and follow Liu Xie out.
In the square in front of the palace hall, the two thousand people brought by Peng Qi were all seated. Of course, it's the back part. The periphery was the forbidden army, and Lu Bu personally guarded it, and by the way, he had a meal.
The three princes and nine qing were accompanied, and Liu Xie was by her side, leaving a place for Peng Qi. This kind of grace, the three princes may not be qualified, Peng Qi knows this very well, and his heart is moved. The civilization of the Yue people is very close to that of the Han people, and with the emperor's preferential treatment of her, she has also begun to really dig out her heart and lungs for the emperor.
Tonight's banquet is not only a gift from the Han to someone, but also a deterrent, or more to show off.
No, the banquet has not yet begun, so we have to follow the tradition to have some fruit and wine, and everyone can have a good drink, which can be regarded as a warm-up. Singing and dancing, one by one special singers and dancers appeared, wearing gorgeous clothes, so that these Yue people can truly appreciate what is called a civilized society.
This is also intentional, when the Yue people live a simple life, feel the upper class, or what is called luxury, those who have no brains, will basically yearn for such a life, and then indulge in it.
A large number of luxuries will wear out their blood, and even disgust their own people. Longing for beauty is the common denominator of all mankind, and it can be guided and can also become a weapon. For example, the Han Dynasty is now distinguishing between the privileged class, the rich class and the poor class of the Yue people more obviously.
Let the first two get more sense of superiority, only a little guidance is needed in the early stage, and everything in the follow-up will be completed spontaneously.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Yong, and the veterans who play this kind of political means in the court are almost a handful. He doesn't even need to put forward a concept, when the concept of the autonomous region is proposed, the following three princes and nine ministers will naturally improve it.
After three rounds of drinking, singing and dancing, Liu Xie felt that the time had come, so he beckoned.
Naturally, a eunuch came forward, waved off the musicians and singing and dancing girls, and then announced loudly: The banquet in front of the emperor has officially begun!
"It's finally started......," Peng Qi smiled bitterly, "Seriously, I'm a little hungry." ”
Lunch is also good, in the end, it is the level of the imperial chef. But what I am looking forward to the most is naturally this banquet in front of the palace. Yesterday I did a little homework, and I knew that this was the emperor, and in order to strengthen the friendship with his courtiers, he held a banquet from time to time. The dishes of the banquet are the pinnacle of Dahan's culinary skills...... Just for this, whatever Peng Qi says, he can't miss it!
