The gorgeous Weiyang Palace is undergoing a grand palace banquet, because this palace belonging to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has welcomed its new hostess, Wang Huan.

In the main hall of the Yuan Ri, when the queen mother who appeared in Jiubi appeared, the courtiers knew that something big would happen. However, Liu Qi announced in public that Wang Wan was crowned queen, which was still unexpected by many people. Since Empress Bo was deposed, Weiyang Palace has not had a hostess for a long time. The women of each palace tried their best to fight openly and secretly, and their eyes were fixed on this position. No one thought that Wang Meiren, who was born in a small family and was usually silent, defeated many powerful opponents and successfully ascended to the throne.

The appearance of the Queen Mother proves that the queen has her support. With the help of these two people who stood at the pinnacle of the power of the Han Dynasty, no one in the harem could shake Wang Wan's status. Since then, Weiyang Palace has ushered in the era of Wang Huan, and another speculation in the hearts of the courtiers is the candidate for the crown prince.

Since ancient times, the princes have followed the tradition of having a descendant and no heir, and Queen Bo has no son. Therefore, the last time it was the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong as the crown prince, and after Liu Rong was deposed as the king of Linjiang, the position of the crown prince became the focus of discussion among the courtiers.

Now things seem to have come to an eyebrow, Wang Wan is now the queen, and the queen's son is of course the son-in-law. This queen happens to have such a son, Liu Yu, the nine-year-old king of Jiaodong. Now that Wang Wan has been canonized as the queen, will the next crown prince be this nine-year-old doll...... Everyone will see.

The palace banquet was set up in the small building of the Liu family, which had just been completed, and the courtiers ignored the fact that Yunzhong Daijun was burned to the ground. frantically touted Liu Qi, and the sycophants slapped as loudly as a mountain. Liu Biao shamelessly made a sycophantic article. The description of the Han River is a cluster of flowers cooking oil on a fire, and the good ones are just bubbling.

Liu Qi accepted the congratulations of the courtiers with a pendulum, and it is estimated that he also thought that Liu Biao's sycophants were too loud, after all, the tragedy in Yunzhong and Daijun was there, and at this time, only this old shameless person would say it so naturally.

Suddenly, Liu Qi found that the table that was very close to him was actually empty, and the dishes on it had been arranged, but the guests had not yet come.

The emperor has a treat, and some people dare to be late. This guy either had a convulsion or got kicked in the head by a donkey. Liu Qi hurriedly waved his hand and called over Qiandu, who was standing aside.

"Whose seat is that, and why hasn't you been seated for so long?"

Qiandu glanced at the table not far away, recalled it, bowed and replied, "Go back to Your Majesty." That was the seat of Marquis Zhou Yafu. I heard that his house was also having a banquet, and he would come over after he was done. ”

Liu Qi's expression froze, and his smiling face suddenly froze. When the emperor was feasting, he actually arranged a family banquet, and he actually had to attend the family banquet at home before attending the emperor's banquet. I'm afraid that only he, Zhou Yafu, will do this in the whole world. Liu Qi's face became unusually ugly. Just about to send someone to remove Zhou Yafu's seat. Suddenly, I saw Zhou Yafu walking in from outside the door.

Zhou Yafu's cloth and leather boots were tied on the top of his head. His bearded face was flushed, and he had obviously drunk at home. Just bowed at the door, and Liu Qi wanted to take a seat.

Liu Qi lowered his head and softly ordered Qiandu: "Remove his tableware." ”

"No"

Qiandu glanced up at Zhou Yafu and bowed down to promise

"Zhou Yafu. You come here. ”

Liu Qi raised his head and shouted loudly, and Zhou Yafu beckoned to him. Seeing the emperor like this, the drum music in the hall immediately stopped. The courtiers all looked at the approaching former prime minister, looking at each other and not knowing what Liu Qi was going to do. Today has canonized a silent and low-key queen, and it is unknown what rumors of the reinstatement of the former prime minister.

For a while, the courtiers put down their chopsticks one after another and stared at Zhou Yafu, who was summoned to the throne by the emperor.

"Minister Zhou Yafu, I wish Your Majesty good health and good luck, and my Han style and rain will be smooth and prosperous." Zhou Yafu shook at Liu Qi, who was sitting in front of him.

"Okay, you Zhou Yafu, I heard that you entered the market the day before yesterday. When the sergeant of the Northern Army saw you, he had to hold the halberd and head it, and he saw that you were quite popular with the army. ”

Liu Qi looked very happy and laughed at Zhou Yafu.

The courtiers were suddenly silent, the position of Taiwei had been vacant for a long time, and the emperor's intention was clearly to restart Zhou Yafu. Those officials who have ignored Zhou Yafu since his dismissal have tensed their nerves, and secretly wondered whether to take the opportunity of New Year's greetings to visit Zhou's house.

Zhou Yafu was also secretly happy, and he also thought that this was Liu Qi's show of favor to himself. The border war continued, and the post of Tai Lieutenant in charge of the Han army and horses was vacant. Although the imperial court won the battle at Hetao, it lost another battle in Yunzhong Daijun. In this year's Han-Xiong War, the Han barely fought a draw at most. There are only so many generals in the court who can lead troops and can fight, except for Dou Ying, who else can he use if Liu Qi doesn't use himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yafu said with some complacency: "The ministers, fathers and sons have led the troops for two generations, and many generals and captains in the Northern Army have grown up since they were children. They are naturally respectful to their ministers, don't look at them now that they are all mixed up as captains and generals, if they are really beaten and scolded so much that they don't even dare to let out a fart. ”

Liu Qi's face sank slightly, and you, Zhou Yafu, a soldier of the imperial court, can beat and scold at will. It seems that this guy is arrogant to the bone, thinking that he has no one to use except him, so he dares to act arbitrarily and recklessly.

"Well, your Zhou family has worked hard. It's also appropriate to come later, because you have a lot of subordinates and naturally need to take care of it. Take your seats. ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he waved his hand to not give Zhou Yafu a chance to continue speaking, and motioned for the chamberlain to lead him to his seat.

Zhou Yafu was a little confused about Liu Qi's attitude, and after bowing down to give a salute, he followed the chamberlain to his own position. The dishes on the table have been arranged, all of them are the delicacies learned from the Yun family, and they have never been seen in Chang'an City and other idlers. There is no such cook in Zhou Yafu's house, and when he sees the dishes with all the color and flavor, he immediately wants to eat it.

Reach for the table, only to find that there is no cutlery on the table. Look at the other people around you, they are all eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Looking at the food but not being able to eat, this made Zhou Yafu very depressed. He decided that it was the eunuchs in the palace who were making fun of him.

Turning to a waiter waiting beside him, he said, "You dog thief, you dare not prepare cutlery for the old man." Why don't you hurry up and bring the old man cutlery. ”

I didn't expect the chamberlain to be like a wood carving clay sculpture, I don't know if the drum music in the hall was too loud to hear, standing there and not moving, looking at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, as if standing asleep.

"Good you dog thief, you dare to entertain the old man. If you don't dare to kill you as an old man, the old man will lead thousands of troops and horses to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and kill a eunuch like you, how can Your Majesty deal with me. ”

Zhou Yafu stood up as soon as he "bluffed", and the big fist of the bowl beckoned to the head of the waiter. Where could this little chamberlain withstand his punch, he was immediately knocked to the ground, his legs twitching, and his mouth foaming.

The hall where the drums were originally singing suddenly fell silent, and all the courtiers looked at Zhou Yafu in surprise. What the crime of roaring the temple is, everyone knows. They don't understand why Zhou Yafu is so unhappy for himself during the New Year.

"Zhou Yafu, do you think this is your home? Dare to roar and hurt people, can't you be a big man? ”

Liu Qi put the wine bottle on the table, and the Yun family fruit brew inside splashed everywhere. The huge collision sound between the golden bottle and the case made the courtiers all startled, and a few timid ones were so shocked that the chopsticks in their hands fell to the ground.

Zhou Yafu was also taken aback, Liu Qi was famous for his personable demeanor when he was the prince. In the twenty years since the monarch and the minister met, it was the first time he had seen Liu Qi so angry.

Looking at the attendant who fell to the ground and convulsed, Zhou Yafu also felt that he had gone too far. hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty is angry, it's all this slave who teases the old man and doesn't give the old man utensils." You know that the old man is a rough man who leads soldiers, and his hands are faster than his mouth, and he can't stop the fire for a while, so he starts to ......" (to be continued......)
