Chapter 380 The Hundred Days Banquet Held

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the Hundred Days Banquet will be held.

What is different from the past is that today's Prince Yu's Mansion is quite lively.

Perhaps they got the news that the emperor would come to attend the Hundred Days Banquet, and those officials hurriedly took sedan chairs to Prince Yu's Mansion after they were off duty, so as to take the first step and occupy a good seat.

Zhu Zaixi didn't care much about the arrival of these officials, what he cared about was the five vacant seats right now.

I saw him frowning tightly, his face full of doubts, and speaking slowly in a voice that only he could hear.

"What the hell is going on, is it possible, what happened?"

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, Jiajing with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky that was about to get dark outside, turned around, and asked Lu Fang who was beside him.

"By the way, have they all gone?"

Lu Fang on the side heard the words, and after considering the sentence, she responded cautiously.

"Your Majesty, most of the officials who have received invitations have already arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion!"

"Except...except..."

Lu Fang hesitated and didn't continue talking.

After Jiajing listened to Lu Fang's answer, he chuckled and added immediately.

"Except for Yan Song and the others, right?"

Seeing this situation, Lu Fang had no choice but to nod her head, and explained bravely.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"It is said that the affairs of the cabinet are too busy today, which made them unable to get away for a while..."

Just as Lu Fang was about to continue explaining, Jiajing waved his hand, indicating that Lu Fang did not need to speak any more.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to go on, I know what they're thinking."

When Jiajing said this, he paused for a moment, then continued.

"They are playing tricks with me, last time, and this time, who gave them the courage?"

"Just wait, I will never spare them!"

Although Jiajing's tone was full of accusations, Lu Fang knew very well in her heart that what Yan Song and others did was just in line with Jiajing's wishes. Later, Lu Fang stood up and asked Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, in half an hour, the Hundred Days Banquet will officially begin. Look..."

Jiajing understood Lu Fang's meaning, took his eyes away from Lu Fang, and ordered.

"Lu Fang, let's go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Jiajing had finally made the decision to leave, Lu Fang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Lu Fang winked at the little eunuch at the side, she immediately followed Jiajing's pace step by step, and waited for Jiajing to board the dragon chariot and head towards Yuwang's mansion.

The cabinet at the moment is still brightly lit.

Yan Song and the others were in their respective positions, processing the memorials slowly.

Looking at the increasingly dark sky outside, Gao Gong couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said immediately.

"Will His Majesty be unhappy if we do this?"

"After all, today is King Yu's son. His Majesty and King Yu both attach great importance to this matter on the [-]th day. In case His Majesty blames him..."

As the teacher of Yu Wang Zhu Zaixi, Gao Gong naturally loved his son Zhu Yijun, and Gao Gong couldn't bear it. He made a child who was just born a hundred days old bear such malice.

Gao Gong's voice fell, and the cabinet fell into a dead silence, no one stood up to speak.

Just when the atmosphere in the cabinet tended to stagnate, Yan Song stood up and spoke comforting words.

"Don't worry, we will officially set off when we get the exact news, and we won't delay too much!"

After the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside. Seeing this situation, everyone's expressions were terrified, and they were full of anticipation and waited for the person to come.

A moment later, under the leadership of a subordinate official, the little eunuch who was favored by Lu Fang earlier entered the cabinet, lowered his head, and reported to everyone.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty has officially set off!"

Hearing this, everyone in the cabinet breathed a sigh of relief, and then Xu Jie stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, it's not too late, let's go now!"

Everyone agreed with Xu Jie's proposal, especially Gao Gong, he wished he could fly to Prince Yu's mansion right now.

Soon, the five people left the cabinet, boarded the sedan chairs that had been prepared, and headed towards Prince Yu's Mansion at the fastest speed.

……

In Prince Yu's Mansion, the lights are brightly lit at the moment, and officials are arriving one after another and presenting gifts that have been prepared.

Even so, there was still not much smile on Zhu Zaixi's face, and he still had a dignified look.

It wasn't until he saw the five sedan chairs of different colors parked at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion that he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face again.

I saw Yan Song and others, supported by the servants, getting out of the sedan chair one after another.

Seeing this, many officials present stopped talking and looked at the five people with awe.

Afterwards, Zhu Zaiyi took a step forward, turned his gaze to Yan Song and the others, and said with joy on his face.

"You are able to take time out of your busy schedules to attend the hundred-day banquet held for my son, Gu is very happy!"

After Zhu Zaidi's voice fell, the steward at the side immediately stepped forward and led the five people to the five vacant positions.

After Yan Song and the others sat down in their seats, they turned their gazes to King Yu and said in unison.

"His Royal Highness King Laoyu is here!"

The atmosphere at the [-]-day banquet also became more lively due to the arrival of Yan Song and others.

But in the eyes of those officials who didn't know what to do, the presence of five members of the cabinet was not only a matter of respect for King Yu, but also the emperor's acquiescence behind it!
After figuring this out, those officials began to plan to invest more in King Yu!
After all, King Jing Zhu Zaizhen is out now, and he can no longer compete for the heir apparent of Daming!

No matter how you look at it, as His Majesty's eldest son, Yu Wang Zhu Zaiyi can be said to have an absolute advantage. Not only does he have Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, as his support, but he also has Gao Gong, a teacher, who advises him.

As for this situation, it can also be described in a sentence from later generations, that is, how can the flying dragon lose by riding on the face?
At this moment, the housekeeper who was waiting for Shengjia at the door hurried in and reported to Zhu Zaixi.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is coming soon!"

Hearing the words, Zhu Zaiqian hurriedly summoned his servants, his face was full of eagerness, and he ordered in a deep voice.

"Quick... hurry up, call them all, and greet father at the door, hurry up!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After the servant responded, he quickly disappeared.

Before the holy car arrived, King Yu Zhu Zaiyi took his family and concubines and knelt at the gate of King Yu's mansion early.

Behind King Yu, many officials who came to participate in the hundred-day banquet also knelt down on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the emperor together.

Yan Song and the others kneeled respectfully in front of those officials.

At this moment, Jiajing sat on the dragon chariot, looked at Prince Yu's Mansion not far away, then turned around immediately, and asked Lu Fang beside him.

"Lu Fang, tell me, have they rushed to Prince Yu's Mansion yet?"

Hearing this, Lu Fang thought for a moment before giving an answer.

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that Mr. Yan Ge and the others must have arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion ahead of schedule!"

Hearing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang and said in a deep voice.

"Naturally, if they dare to despise my son, I will not spare them!"
