Conspiracy

Chapter 290 Palace Banquet [[-]]

The officials and their families invited by the palace entered the palace one after another, and sat down in order of rank under the guidance of the palace staff.

The hall is full of singing and dancing, and there are laughter and greetings or flattery everywhere.

"The general is here! The left minister is here!"

As the servant's sharp voice fell, a group of people dressed in splendid costumes stepped across the threshold of Shao Hua Hall.

Ji Mengping, who used to be full of energy in the past, has already been physically and mentally exhausted due to his overworked work for the king and the constant pressure from the prince.Already old, now even older.

The man on his right side who looked mighty and extraordinary had a solemn expression on his face.Dressed in black battle armor, with a thick long sword on his waist.His complexion was dark, and his chin was covered with beards. When he looked around at the courtiers in the palace, his eyes were full of hostility.

This person is Yu Guifei's biological father Yu Wude, and he is full of hostility.

According to the rules in the palace, those who enter the palace are not allowed to carry weapons with them.But since Xiao Mohan's death, Yu Wude plotted in every possible way and divided up the military power in the hands of the emperor.

At first he was restrained, but until later, even in front of the emperor, he became ostentatious.

Eight years later, his influence is deeply rooted in the court.Those who can be bought with gold, silver, jewelry or high-ranking officials are all collected under their command.As for those who still refused to submit to him under his coercion and lure, they were either executed by him in various names, or sent to the frontier after being deliberately framed by Yu Wude.

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared at the same time, and they got up and greeted in a flash, and they greeted the smiles on their faces, but when they lowered their eyes or bowed their heads, they turned into another face.

"The lower official has seen the general, and seen the left prime minister."

There were uneven salutes, and even though some people were reluctant, they had to stand up and salute.

Gu Hongrong snorted coldly, turned his head away and pretended not to see it, in his eyes, Yu Wude and Ji Mengping were the same raccoons who only knew how to disrupt the government and control the government.

He ignored it, but it didn't mean that Yu Wude could tolerate him. He sneered and walked towards Gu Hongrong.

She clasped her hands and cupped her fists at him extremely perfunctorily, and said with a strange air, "Master Gu, when the old man returned to Beijing earlier, besides the emperor taking care of the wind and dust in the palace, he also had a banquet at the mansion. It's a pity that good wine and food were prepared, but It’s really chilling to never wait for Gu Xiang.”

Gu Hongrong changed his face very quickly, obviously hating him in every possible way in his heart, but in a flash, he put on a smile again, "What did the general say, it's just that the truth is that he was ill a few days ago, so he didn't go to the general Congratulations. The general is now in charge of the three armies, so why worry about such trivial matters?"

"Oh? So Gu Xiang is sick, is it because of being angry?" Ji Mengping turned his sinister eyes to the upright figure, standing upright on the man in Tsing Yi behind Gu Hongrong, and said through gritted teeth, "Master Gu's body is also weak. Going to court, just in time to rest at home."

He had already been to the Heavenly Prison, and learned from Shang Yici's words that Gu Yunshu also contributed a lot to their defeat.

Had known so!They shouldn't be so cautious that they missed the best time to cut off Shangyuchen's arm because they were too timid.

Gu Wenyu wanted to open his mouth to embarrass Gu Yun, but Gu Yun said in a calm voice, "Master Zuo is worrying too much, my father just catches the cold occasionally. It's just that the lower official was locked up again because he left the house privately. Thanks The emperor thought of the kindness of the past monarchs and ministers, so he never killed the officials."

"Master Gu's words sounded like he knew there was something wrong and did it on purpose."

"On purpose?" Gu Yunshu repeated these two words, the corners of his lips hidden under the mask raised a playful arc, "Master Zuo thinks that the lower officials are wrong, and the lower officials are wrong."

Gu Yunshu's tone of voice, no matter who listened to it, it seemed that he was perfunctory.Even so, there is nothing wrong with Gu Yunshu's words.

Wearing a black python robe, Prince Shang Yuchen flicked back his spacious sleeves, his comfortable posture was incompatible with this hall full of swords and swords.

Behind him, Zhilan, who was dressed as a female official, locked her eyes on Shang Yuchen from the beginning to the end, as if everyone around her couldn't catch her eyes. After filling him with wine in silence, she quietly returned to her original position.

Shang Yuchen stroked the rim of the wine glass with his fingers, and squinted at Ji Mengping, "The words of Prime Minister Zuo are so thorny, if it is spread, and someone with a heart will chop off the head and tail, it may be that it will spread a reputation that is not good for you."

Ji Mengping leaned over and bowed, "It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince is also here. I haven't seen His Highness before, and His Highness the Crown Prince forgives me."

"Zuo Lian worked hard all day long, so how can I be willing to blame him for coming late."

Hearing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two overtly and secretly, Yu Wude was not even willing to perfunctory on the surface. Since he entered the hall, he has never paid attention to the idiot prince in his eyes.

"Master Qingmiao has arrived! General Jinghong has arrived!"

Everyone looked outside the door in amazement. They had known that Master Qing Miao would come, but they did not expect that Xiao Chuhong, like Gu Yunshu, would be released from confinement by the emperor.

Master Qing Miao and Xiao Chuhong walked side by side with a compassionate face, and behind them was the young monk Yu Zhu, who had forgotten the dust and refined the vulgarity. As for Li Jiu, he was left outside the hall.

As always, Master Qing Miao was holding a Zen staff with one hand, twisting Buddhist beads one by one with his left hand, and walking steadily and powerfully.

Since Xiao Chuhong returned to Beijing, it was the first time that he appeared in front of people openly and aboveboard, which was different from the 'childishness' he inadvertently showed in front of Su Zhen.When he stepped into the palace, he was already ready to face everything calmly.

Standing with hands behind his back, he walked forward proudly, removing all pretense and forbearance.

Yu Wude thought that he would not lose to Xiao Mohan, his tragic end back then was seen by everyone in the world.As for Xiao Chuhong, the only son left behind by Xiao Mohan, he might have been afraid of him in the past, but now, regardless of military power or other things, Xiao Chuhong is not worthy to be called his opponent.

But Ji Mengping's eyes were of a different kind, and his hands hidden in the official robe gradually tightened, wishing to kill Xiao Chuhong immediately.Fortunately, he has been immersed in officialdom all year round, and he has already controlled all kinds of emotions freely.

Ji Yunge who was seated far away on the opposite side suddenly raised his eyes. He still remembered that at the palace banquet last time, Xiao Chuhong was still sitting in a wheelchair like a waste, and was constantly being fed alcohol by those courtiers.

But within ten days, he seemed to be a completely different person.Listening to my father talking about the matter of Huanyu Mountain that day, for some reason, there was regret at that moment.

Could it be that she really lost her sight?
Today she is wearing a white-purple gradation bust-length mermaid gauze skirt given to her by the empress dowager. It is rumored that it was woven by mermaids from the South China Sea. The collar, sleeves and skirt are embroidered with gorgeous floral patterns, and pearl tassels are added to it. decorate.

Three thousand blue silks are curled up, and wisteria-colored magnolia flower double tassels are worn on both sides.The skin on the delicate and flawless oval face is like snow, a pair of beautiful eyes are sparkling, the bridge of the nose is small, the lip line is beautifully curved, rosy like blood.
