The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 366
"I've kept you all waiting for a long time, my father is arranging matters related to the banquet for you all, so let Gu Lai invite you to come over!"

Zhao Xu walked in with a smile on his face, and his expression was apologetic, as if he was sorry for the emperor for leaving them here.

"I will meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing that it was the Crown Prince who came, these people hurriedly knelt down, they were a little anxious to wait just now.

This time is too long, but the crown prince came to invite them over in person, which is enough to give them face, so there is nothing else to say.

"My lords, please hurry up, I can't afford you to give such a big gift, please hurry up."

As he said that, Zhao Xu ran over to help them up one by one, without any airs of being a prince.

"Yu Gong, everyone is the founding hero of our Song Dynasty, but Yu privately, you and the father are brothers, I should call you uncle."

"In addition, Father said that today he and you are in the nature of a family banquet, so don't care about my identity. You are all my elders. Let's go. Father should be impatient."

Zhao Xu's words gave them enough face, and at the same time lowered his figure so that people could hear them comfortably.

Although Zhao Xu told them to forget their identities and treat them as juniors, no one dared to do this. Who dared to really do this?
Under the leadership of Zhao Xu, a group of them started to walk to the banquet location. Along the way, these generals looked around carefully one by one.

Because the surroundings are already full of guards, and this guard exudes a powerful aura, which makes these generals who have led the army for many years also amazed.

What kind of guards are this group of guards who have such a strong evil spirit on their bodies? Could it be that these people are all selected from the forbidden army?

Zhao Xu seemed to see what they were thinking:
"My lords, are you wondering why there are so many imperial guards in the palace? I trained them all by myself. Today is their first appearance, just to see if they are up to the important task of defending the palace? "

He said it easily, but after hearing his words, these people were not calm. They were all experienced generals. They couldn't be more clear about what kind of soldiers are the best.

The aura exuded by these people is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, they can be sure of this.

"The prince is indeed very human. Such guards guarding the palace are absolutely guaranteed to be safe. Finally, I would like to ask you, are these people taught by His Highness?"

Apart from his love for money, Shi Shouxin also loves soldiers. He likes his soldiers very much, because these soldiers are the basis for him to gain power, so he asked so quickly.

"To tell you the truth, General Shi and everyone, I practiced this by myself, and there are still many imperfections. I will discuss it with you adults when I have time."

In everyone's mind, [-] grass-mud horses are galloping past, such soldiers are not perfect, are you embarrassing?
"Oh, I was so busy talking with all the adults here, I forgot that the father is still waiting for us, let's go over quickly, where is the father already waiting?"

It was only at this time that I remembered why you didn't pay attention when you were talking here just now, everyone slandered.

However, they still followed behind to the place of the banquet, and Zhao Kuangyin had already been waiting outside the door for a long time.

As soon as he saw their figures, Zhao Kuangyin quickly walked down the stairs:

"I've been looking forward to it for you, hahaha." Zhao Kuangyin, who was dressed in a yellow robe, laughed loudly.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father!"

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

"Everyone is flat, everyone is flat, today is the family banquet for me and all the brothers, these etiquettes can be avoided, otherwise I will punish myself with three cups."

After saying that, Zhao Kuangyin dragged Murong Yanzhao and Shi Shouxin in, and at the same time turned around and ordered:
"Prince, let the people below serve the wine quickly. I want to have a good drink with all my brothers."

Zhao Xu is just doing what an eunuch does now, and he is asked to pass on the dishes. Zhang Lingduo is his future old father-in-law, and he also stood up:

"Your Majesty, asking the prince to pass on the dishes, isn't it Zheshachen, how can I take care of it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the crown prince has a noble status, so the ministers feel uneasy." Wang Shenqi also interjected.

Who knew Zhao Kuangyin waved his big hand:
"The two of you will punish yourself with three cups for the meeting. Just now I said that today is a family banquet without mentioning etiquette. You have committed a foul."

"Although he is the prince, he is only your junior today. Not only will I ask him to pass on the dishes to you, but I will also ask Te to serve you wine later on. Needless to say, come in with me."

The inside has already been prepared, and everyone is a separate table, which is also filled with delicacies from mountains and seas under Zhao Xu's command.

Liquor is naturally the best Wuliangye, there is no doubt about this, and the banquet for these few people cannot be sloppy.

"Come here to offer a cup to all the brothers. This is my thanks to all the brothers. Without all the brothers, I would not be where I am today."

"The prince pours wine for all the adults. You must go there yourself. You must know that your position as the prince today is due to their contribution. Go."

Zhao Kuangyin directed Zhao Xu to pour wine for them one by one, but when Zhao Xu reached them, they all stood up without knowing it.

Zhao Kuangyin asked them to do whatever they wanted, but they didn't dare to really do whatever they wanted. They would never forget the basic etiquette.

In this way, everyone had a great time drinking, and a dance performance was arranged later. These big bastards, how can they have time to enjoy this thing specially.

Only then did they realize that this is life, and they must enjoy life to the fullest, drinking wine and listening to ditties, when did they realize that this was what they needed most.

At the end of the song, everyone was a little drunk. It could be seen that they were really happy, and they toasted Zhao Kuangyin from time to time.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Xu who was standing aside, and then Zhao Kuangyin let out a long sigh, which filled the entire hall.

The people who were still immersed in the joy immediately paused, and then all looked at Zhao Kuangyin in unison.

In-law Gao Huaide boldly asked:

"Today is a happy day, why does the emperor sigh?"

"That is, if the emperor has any troubles, just talk about it, all the brothers are here, can we also help you solve your problems?"

Shi Shouxin also agreed, but he really wanted to slap his own mouth later on, why did he say so much when he had nothing to do, and let the emperor get to the point.
