Conspiracy

Chapter 291 Palace Banquet [[-]]

Shang Yuchen looked at Xiao Chuhong from afar, raised his wine glass to toast him, and drank it up again.Shangyu's eyes are like black jade, his body is stern, and his eyes are like cold stars, making people daunting.The crown of black hair is inlaid with thirteen pearls.It is lined with a black toga with a four-clawed boa constrictor embroidered with golden silk thread on the outside. A dark court belt is tied around the waist, and a jade pendant with dragon patterns hangs from the waist.

Xiao Chuhong especially likes cool colors, but some clothes look old when worn by people of the same age.But Xiao Chuhong has been in the battlefield since he was a child, and he has already cultivated the style of a general.Especially after Chu Moxuan lived in his body, the already similar faces of the two blended subtly.

The two looked at each other 'affectionately', completely forgetting everyone in Shaohua Hall.

With a tacit smile, Xiao Chuhong took the wine glass handed over by the palace man, ignoring other people's probing eyes, raised the glass to drink, his Adam's apple rolled, and the cold wine swallowed down his throat into his stomach.The five fingers squeezed the wine glass tightly and turned it upside down, but not a drop of wine flowed out.

During the women's banquet, Ji Yunge looked at Xiao Chuhong through the bamboo curtain, and suddenly remembered what Ji Mengping taught her in his daily life.

Do not!She must not be emotional with Xiao Chuhong, she promised her father that she would help His Royal Highness King Qin ascend the crown prince.At that time, she will be the most honorable woman in the world.

Like Xiao Chuhong, sooner or later, like his father, he will end up in a sad end.

"The emperor is here! The empress is here! Concubine Yu is here! His Royal Highness King Qin is here!"

A series of high-pitched shouts came down from the servant, and the faces of the people of different shapes and colors changed one after another, some were respectful, some were disdainful, some were surprised, and some were unwilling.

Looking at their surprised expressions, Shang Yici was naturally the most proud.

Apart from the four of them, the most conspicuous of them is of course the 'boy' with different red pupils.

Yu Wude and the others who were in the confrontation had already learned the identity of this person from Shang Yi's words, and they did not show any surprise.

Other courtiers, concubines and ministers' family members didn't know where to go, but from the dignified expressions of Shang Yujia and others, and the unconscious attitude of accommodating them, it is not difficult to see that today should be this person's home game.Or maybe, this confusing palace banquet was just for him!

Shang Yuchen lifted up his sleeve robe comfortably, put the wine glass on the desk with a 'clang', and led everyone to stand up and salute.

"The sons and ministers see the father, the mother, and the noble concubine."

"The ministers and others kowtow to the emperor, the empress, and the imperial concubine. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress is a thousand years old!"

The two emperors and empress stepped on the steps hand in hand and sat upright at the top. After they were seated, Shang Yu frame pointed to the position on the lower right, and said with a pleasant smile, "Mr. Zhuan, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The young master cupped his hands perfunctorily, and sat down with his legs crossed in a carefree manner.

For his rudeness, Shang Yu frame didn't take it seriously, and said in a deep voice towards the bottom, "All gentlemen, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

People with different expressions sat down one after another, and then began to discuss in low voices who is the person who can be treated with such courtesy by the emperor.

"My dear friends, you are blessed by the heavens, and you follow the destiny. The purpose of organizing the palace banquet today is actually to welcome the ancestor Chidi to come to Luoqi again."

"Ancestor Chidi?" One of the courtiers stood up and bowed, and asked, "I want to report to the emperor? May I ask you that the ancestor Chidi in your mouth was the one who regarded God's punishment as nothing and saved tens of millions of people from the plague. The young master in the book?"

As soon as these words came out, thousands of waves were shocked in Shaohua Palace.

They seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move at all.

It is rumored that the ancestor of Zhidi had passed the year of his sixtieth birthday, and about thirty years ago, the plague broke out in Luoqi.Many innocent people only had fever and other symptoms at the beginning, and there were signs of mutual infection.After the local government office heard about the incident, it immediately sent the town's doctors to diagnose and treat it. Although it seemed to be cured temporarily, within a few days, more and more people were infected one after another.

At that time, the local county magistrate was in the promotion period. In order to prevent the incident from affecting his achievements, he sent government officials to drive all the "suspected" infected people to a deserted village.

It would be fine to just let them fend for themselves, but they were in vain as a human race, and they cruelly ordered that all the people be burned to death.

The fire burned for a full seven days, and everyone who heard it was chilled.

I thought that after this incident, the county magistrate could sit back and relax.Who would have thought that the plague would come fiercely, and the dormancy period in the human body would be extremely long.Before he set fire to the village, people in several villages fled after hearing the news.However, in just a few days, thousands of people have been affected by Chiyu.

When the Marquis, a high-ranking official in Kyoto, received the news and reported it to the court, the disaster caused by the plague was out of control.

Just as they were helpless, rumors spread that the sky would destroy Luo Qi, causing people to panic.

Nearly a month later, more than ten thousand people died of the plague.

A mysterious person who claimed to be "Mr. Zhuan" suddenly appeared, distributed the medicine he specially developed for the plague to the common people, and handed over the prescription to the imperial court.While helping the victims, the imperial court opened up the treasury to purchase medicinal materials to treat the refugees.

However, very few people have seen the true face of the rumored 'Mr. Zhuan'. After the plague ended, he did not accept any rewards, and disappeared again without a trace.All in all, except for the prescription and the praise and gratitude of the people, there is no trace left.

It's just that Shang Yu frame decreed at that time that he was named "Chie Di Patriarch", and he also built a monument of merit and virtue for him outside the city of Kyoto.His status is equivalent to a first-rank official in the court, but in his position, he does not need to go to the court to participate in politics every day.

Everyone in the hall turned their thoughts, looking at the 'young man' sitting below the emperor, some doubted whether the emperor had denied the wrong person.After all, summoning a group of ministers for this person, and not revealing the slightest rumor in advance, will inevitably lead to deep thinking and suspicion.

But the only similarity between this 'boy' and the rumors is that he has a pair of 'red eyes' that are different from ordinary people.

"Yu Aiqing guessed right, this is the real ancestor Jidi, named Gongzi Quan." Shang Yu stroked the stubble on his chin and looked at Gongzi Quan.

Most of the lesser officials bowed again, "See the ancestors!"

The young master stuffed a small piece of pastry into his mouth indifferently, the sweet but not greasy taste left him wanting more.It's just this 'rough' eating appearance that makes people look sideways.

He raised the back of his hand to wipe off the crumbs from the pastry on his lips, clapped his hands to shake off the remaining residue, and laughed loudly, "Get up and get up! Excuse me! I'm just a countryman, but I can't bear the responsibility of adults. Salute. Also, please don’t call me Patriarch, I like others to call me Young Master Zhuan.”

Everyone below looked at each other in embarrassment and got up, only Xiao Chuhong, who had been leaning against the vermilion pillar since the arrival of the empress and others, raised his eyes and glanced at the beams of the room.

Immortal!Since returning to Beijing, she has disappeared without a trace, so she entered the palace quietly.
